invariably came out.
The general lesson of the theater must therefore be sought among the
heatergoers themselves. This raises the question of what may be called,
for want of a better term, the morals of a crowd. The code of morality
Of 1000 persons in a theater is decidedly higher than the morals of each
person in that crowd if taken separately and formed into a general aver
age. Every crowd contains the usual number of moral men and women,
immoral persons, and those who do not give any particular thought to
morals. Yet the verdict of the crowd as a whole is for morality. The i'm
moral and immoral people do not count, or they give their verdict in
favor of the moral side of the question.
You will find this in its elemental form in the performances of melo-
dramas at the cheaper theaters. The audiences contain the usual proper
ton of immoral persons. Yet the latter act in concert with the others.
They hiss the villain, applaud herosm, resent a falsehood from the hero
inc, and sympathize with the hero when he is down, but not out. The
effect of this concerted morality on an immoral person, not only in the
cheaper theater, but at more pretentious performances, has a decided per-
manent value.
The temper of the American theatergoing public is clearly a moral
one. They will not go to an immoral play for any length of time.
The theater also holds an important place in the lives of the people
as a school of manners. When a playgoer sees a production by John Drew
and his company, o a comedy by Augustus Thomas or Clyde Fitch, he
seems to enter a drawing room where poiteness and good manners are the
rule. For three hours he becomes one Of those who live in this atmos-
phee. The good manners are not forced upon him. He knows that the
actors and actresses do the proper thing. If this is different from what
he usually does, the difference is noticed at once. Knowing that the con.
duct he sees is proper, he decides to follow the example of the actors.

GONE FOREVER

Ten years ago a farmer put his ini-
tails on a dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent 1t
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago.. He sent it to a mail order
house. He never has seen hat dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM
munity. He sent it entirely out of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.
Patronize your local merchant who
helps you to pay your taxes, support
your schools and churches, and lends
a helping hand in times Of sickness
and trouble.

The notes of q popular song echoed
sentimentally through the big station
waiting room. With one accord the
respondent occupants of the benches,
turned to look In the direction whence
1t came. A young man had entered at
the south door and vas making his
way across the floor. His clothes
were those of the well-to-do mechanic;
over his shoulder was slung a canvas
bag of tools. Behind him came a o
ored porter bearing a step ladder.
The young man paused beneath the

the dial. The hands pointed to nine,

over to the full length mirror, which

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busi-
ness is the natural outgrowth Of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history Of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and t%onics, were to be
found In almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
Of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more Of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business Is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the Begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness Of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
It up, improve 1t in many ways, manu-
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus 1t would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE.
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one Of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, Of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL CON-
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished 1t to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatmest of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
DR.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.
