TEMPLE TALKS.
How Property Lost In the Temple
Theater Is Restored to the
Owners.

Immediately after each performance
at the Temple theater ana the crowd
has passed through the doors, james
Edward Lewis, the ulSi.ntcnuent,
with his assistants. mnkos careful
search OF the theater for articles care
iessly lett by patrons. Such articles
when found are taken IN charge by
the superintendent. who lists them In
u book kept for that purpose. and
when the articles are called for and
described, they are restored TO the
owners. Sometimes a patron loses or
forgets parcel or purse, or gloves,
fur or like article and IL is picked up
by somebody who has been sitting in
the vicinity and who carries IL away
not knowing that the theater is equip
ped with lost and found department
Thousands of dollars worth OF prop
erty IL found and restored 10 patrons
every season. During the current sea-
son package OF convertible United
States bonds OF the value of $27 900,
was found by Mr.. Lewis In one OF the
boxes after an evening performance
and was restored to the owner. a
Cleveland capitalist. two days later. 1t
is strange but nevertheless true that
a set of false teeth was found after a
matinee performance, and was called
for the next morning by very much
embarrassed elderly lady Mileage
books. jewelry. fur boas, nuns, hand
bags. dress goods, and new shoes are
found quite often. They invariably
belong to women who attend the mat
NEE performance after shopping
tour. But ONE man holds the prize
for observation-disclosures. He forgot his
overcoat one cold night and didn't
think about II until he reached his
home.

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

IL people were born right and after
wards lived right. there would be no
usefor medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When person lives
wrongly, OF acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines Will
cure disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature to resist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts OF the
human body to right itself against de-
rangements. This Is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger In
the fire. Instinctively he vets his
finger in his mouth, then blows on It
for the cooling effect. This Is no cure.
He knows IL very well. But 1t makes 1t
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure Is to eat correctly. Yet II
a palliative Is at hand the pains of indi-
gestion can be mitigated, the throes oil
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna Is q cure for dyspepsia
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
to perform It's function properly. Peru
ma will increase the flow Of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. 1t Twill increase the
relish OF food, the appetite.
It Is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are so many people who either will not
or do not know how to eat correctly thai
a tremendous amount OF good can bs
done by the wise use OF Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function OF diges
ton very iaxily. Such stomach allows
the food TO remain undigested for some
time after IL ia swallowed. This leads
10 fermentation of the food. Sour stom
ach is the result. This goes on week
after week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
condition is very apt to produce rheum
atism.
It il not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum
atism but correct living. But 1t II
claimed that Peruna will assist badly
abused stomach to perform Its work.

WOULD LET CITIES
FIX BONDING LIMIT

The municipal home rule bill being
drawn by Corporation Counsel Hally
has provision tending TO remedy one
very serious condition OF affairs now
confronting the city, the smallne3s
OF the bonding limit. He would have
1t left 10 the people of each munich
pality to pass upon the bond limit,
with a maximum Of 10 per cent.
Detroit now needs schools. sewers.
grade separations, police and fire en-
CINE houses, convention hall and
other permanent improvements which,
the city officials believe, should be
paid for by issuing bonds.
Detroits present bonding limit Is
but per cent. and this has almost
been reached. Some cities have bond
ing limits as high as 10 per cent now.
The Detroit times., 1909-03-16

IL . person would correct his hsbitss
persist in right eating and tsmpsrste
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself q
the poison, and everything would b
right. But as said before there are
multitude of people who will not or cam
not adopt right methods Of living. To
such people Peruna 70 boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach 70
do its work. This prevents fermsnts-
ton Of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and All the train Of Ills thst
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruna IL helpful -
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but 1t assists the
powers of Nature to bring about cure.
The whip does not increase the power
lSof the horse to pull load, but judi
ciously used IL stimulates the horse to
use his powers at the right time, with
out which he could not have pulled the
load.
This illustrates the effect Of Peruns,
or any other good remedy upon the sys-
TEN. Taken at the right time, IL calls
forth the powers OF the human system
to meet the en-. roachments OF disease,
and thus cuts short, IL not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt to substi.
tute medicine in the place OF right liv-
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove disaster. But an occasional use
OF the right medicine at the right time
is godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny IL.
Those who know how to use Peruna
find 1t of untold value. BY and by the
world will get wise enough SO that
through correct living no medicine st
all will be needed. But that time has
not arrived. In the meantime, while
the world Is approaching that perfec-
ton In which all medicine will DO elm
mated, Peruna is q handy remedy 70
have in the house.
Slight arrangements Of tho stomach ;
slight catarrhal attacks Of the liver, the
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
els; these attacks are sure TO lead TO
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use of Peruna.
| Wouldn't You like to read few I'M

have used Peruna, and who stand ready

PROFIT ON CONTRABAND
Uncle Sam Makes Money ON Goods
Seized For Duty.

New York, June 2.-United States
Marshal Henkel held his well-adver-
tised sale of smuggled gowns at the
custom House today. From the pr,cas
obtained it would seem that J1ncIa
Sam had better set up a few NOR.
smugglers and go into the old clothes
business on larger scale. It will
pay good profit.
Ladies from Bay Ridge, Seagato.
Harlem and the Oranges battled with
each other for the privilege Of nav
ing about quarter more than each
smuggled gown was worth. Now and
then one would capture a real bar-
gain, and the next Offering brought
them gaping about the feet of the
auctioneer. Then they just shut their
eyes. gritted their teeth and bid
blindfolded.
Marshal Henkel is enormously
pleased. The captured trunks of tho
smugglers held 400 fine French dress
es on which the government placed
a valuation of $4,000 The fndica-
tions are that Mr.. Henkel will realize
something more than $4,000 at this
sale. even after selling a few gowns
az cut rates as leaders.
At one stage of the proceedings the
crowd was bidding upon a fine linen
shirtwaist. Voices on the floor, ran
the bids up dollar at a time.
Another voice. not to be located, bid
s14 and got the waist.
Name please" said the auctioneer.
The INDICATED voice said: Miss Ull-
man."
"Come In and pay for your waist"
"Please sir" said the voice, IT
can't. I'm in the window"
Everyone turned to find that the
enterprising Miss Ullman had climb
ed step-ladder in the corridor out
side and thrust her head and should
ers through one of the transom win
dows between the corridor and the
salesroom. She blinked brightly at
the audience, surprised by her sud-
den prominence. The auctioneer pro-
fessed himself stumped.

Ullman. And the sale went on.
