Popular Talks on Law
By WALTER K TOWERS b., j. MICHIGAN

not with complete success. That the
| judges have not all looked upon
ticket speculation as an evil is shown
by the following quotation from a
| judicial opinion:
THE sale of theater ticket at
an advance upon the original pur-
selling such tickets at a profit, is
no more immoral or injurious to
public welfare or convenience, than
| is the sale of an ordinary article
Of merchandise at a profit. 1t does
| not injure the proprietor of the thea
| ter; he must necessarily have part
ed with the ticket at his own price
and upon his own terms before such
resale can be made 1t does not in
jure the second buyer; he must have
mad the same opportunity as the first
buyer to purchase a similar ticket,
and having neglected that Opportu-
nifty, or being unwilling to undergo
The necessary inconvenience, ana
willing to pay a higher price rather
than foregO the privilege which the
other by his greater diligence ana
effort has obtained, the TRANSACTION
IS just SO far as he is concerned. The
fact that such tickets are obtained
Ind resOld at an advance does no.
compel the manager Of the theate.
to put the tickets upon the same
plane as ordinary articles of meS
chandise He can make them non
transferable, and place in the coa
tract of sale any conditions neces
sary for the protection of himself OF
ais patrons, and by printing such
conditions on the tickets, he CAL
prevent their resale to innocent
buyers.
AS the Judge points out, the thea
ter management may make their
tickets n0n-transferable, and by re-
fusing admission to a second pur-
chaser prevent any resale of the
tickets. If the attention of the pur
chaser is drawn to such conditions,
Dy signs in the theater lobby and
4 notice printed ON the tickts, such
conditions may be enforced against
him.
The theater management owes to
it's patrons the duty of seeing that
the premises are in a reasonably
safe condition. 1t is bound to see to
it that the building and all the fit
tings and appliances are IN proper
condition for public sge If any in
jury occurs to a patron which was
due to a failure on the part of the
management to keep the theater in
proper condition, the person injured
may recover in damages.
While theaters have been general
~ referred to, it is to be noted that
Ill places of public amusement fall
within the same rules Of law. The.
circus, the museum, the picture
SHOW are all in the same class with
theaters, in viewpoint of the law
Tor all ordinary purposes.

strenuously to make the amusement
attractions this year notable and sat

Permanent improvements are pro
crossing rapidly. The 40 foot addi-

Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge OF
complete nervous breakdown 1t
is of the utmost Importance to keep
your nervous system in good con
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, 2II Mechanic ST., Pueblo,
Colo, says:
"For many years | suffered from
nervous prostratlon; l was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies |
tried from druggists did not do
me particle of good A nelghbor

DR.. Miles Nervine
and he procured a bottle. After the
first few doses | showed marked
Improvement and after taking two
bottles | was entirely cured. | have
been perfectly we'll for years and
cannot praise DR.. Miles Nervine
too highly"
If you are troubled with loss OF
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
.unable to bear your part OF the
daily grind Of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
DR.. Miles Nervine
has proven its value in nervous dis
orders for thirty years, and merits
trial, no matter how many other
remedies have failed to help you
Sold by all druggists. If first nottis

The blossoms have gone from the

The reaping is over and done.
The ripe fruit hangs low in the

The wealth of the harvest is won.

Over and over and over
Their watch DER their furrow they

And 10. there are granrieS teeming
For the handfuls of grain thrown
And want and hunger are banlshed
When they bring the ripe sheaves
The white wheat is heaped in the

The fruit CLEANS high in the bin,
The corn from the upland is feeding
The mill wheels cIatter and din.
The winged ships haste from the

The trains from the prairies are
sped,
The wheat in the summer winds
waving
Is making the children's bread.
