American people, their love OF the

COURTESY AT PUBLIC ADJUSTMENTS

COURTESY AT PUBLIC ADJUSTMENTS
Richmond Is being treated to the

ever brought before local audiences.
The plays recently presented have
reached . uniformly high level Of ar
tistic excellence. Acting. settings ana
management have achieved metropoli-
tan perfection. The local playhouse 10

11iences and adequate for tho players.
Tho visiting companies and the local
amusement purveyors have done every
thing possible to add distinction to
the present season. But have the
theatre soers ee-operated to do their
share?
Certainly many audiences this fall
have not shown that fne sense OF
public courtesy that considers other
people. The nrst act Of practically
every play presented has been in whole
or in part spoiled by the noise and
confusion duo to late arrivals. This
wilful and selfish disregard OF tho

Nothing Now But Sunshine and
Happiness in Her Life.

When seen recently Mrs. Lucy Covert,
of 1744 Wabash avenue, Wichita, also
we'll known in Topeka. spoke interest
ingly regarding her experience with the
new tonic fiona Vita" now being IN
troduced in this city by specialists sent
here for that purpose
Mrs Covert said: TT gives me great
pleasure to tell what iona Vita has
done for me. When I began the use of
this tonic I had weak and nervous
spells I was so nervous I could not
stand excitement of any kind. If any
thing startled me my heart Woulo nut
ter or beat rapidly.
81 finally got so 1 would wake up out
of my sleep with a smothered feeling
and my heart would beat so violently
that it would leave me very weak for
hours afterwards The food that I ate
did not agree with me or as result
would suffer from Indigestion
After taking a few doses of 'Tona
Vita 1 felt a great relief L could
hardly believe it myself, L slept better
at night and would waken in the morn
ing feeling refreshed. My nervousness
has entirely disappeared and I can eat
what 1 want. without painful results
In fact I feel like entirely different
woman, this is what two bottles OF
iona Vita has done for me. 1 believe
it s the best tonic l have ever taken
and it will do all it is claimed to do.
It will remove the dark cloud of de-
spair and bring sunshine into your
life"
Mrs Covert's case was pure and sim
pie nervous debility, which is likely to
be found existing in any Topeka fam
ily," said one of the specialists sent
here to introduce '"Tona Vita" this
morning Half of the people of this
CITY find life a burden and have little
real pleasure as a result of this modern
plague" continued he.
''Such people and there are lots of
them, have uncertain appetites, poor d.
gestion, uneasy sleep, little ambition,
and they feel too tired for the simplest
work most of the time. They suffer
from tinidity, have no initiative, are
droopy and haven't enough good rich
blood in their veins to make them cap
able or self reliant. Their nerves are in
such a conditions that they imagine
themselves afflicted with various dis
eases at different times. The real
trouble with them is debility, produced
by the strain of modern life they are
forced to lead. There is little of this
ailment among the people of the coun-
try the freedom of which permits them
to observe natures limitations.
iona Vita will positively remove
this condition. If it fails to prove sat
must do the work, or we don't want
money for it,
The specialists who are introducing
.'Tona Vita are giving demonstrations
of what the preparation will do. All
day long between the hours of a. m.
and p. M, they meet callers at the
Arnold Drug Company's Store, 523 Kan
sas Avenue and explain the nature of
this modern plague nervous debility
