THOUSANDS VIEW
 CIRCUS PARADE

Modern wonders of the world were Birmingham citizens yesterday morn ing when the monster parade of the combined circuses of Barnum and Bail ley and Ringing Brothers passed through the downtown district. All Birmingham boyhood crowded the line of march to do homage to the circus kings and queens, as they made their royal progress.
 Not only the youngsters were pres ent, and those parents who go only to take the children, but no sooner had the first blare of the bugles an nounced the approach of the parade. than the office buildings emptied as by magic and the sedate citizenry of Birmingham joined their sons and daughters in wide-eyed and open mouthed wonder at the marvels pass ing.
 The feature of the parade was the great exhibit of animals Lions. polar bears, just plain bears, hyenas. leop- ards and other denizens of the tungles of the far-distant and unknown lands passed in review A mighty elephant herd, larger than any ever seen before in Birmingham, was another attrac- tion.
 Teams of beautiful horses drew great floats of patriotic interest. The little shetland ponies, drawing great wagons behind them, awoke the in. evitable cry, Papa, buy me one" as the little ones saw them go by. Three great calliopes made noises ineffably sweet to the ear of childhood, while several bands furnished music. The climax was reached when a great wag- on full to overflowing with absolutely the funniest men that ever were in Birmingham went by.
 The parade was complete. There were clowns. The ranks could be held no longer and mob of boys, of all color and sizes, fell in behind the wag- on. making the triumphal march equal to, if not surpassing, any ever held by the most lord1y of Caesars
 When the last wagon had passed, and the last toot of the caIliope had died away in the distance, there was mad rush for reserved seats, for circus with parade like that could not be missed

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
 AT THE COLONIAL

In American Aristocracy." picture pa irons again have Douglas Fairbanks in photo-play filled with typical Fair banks sunts. The stunts, which are very attractive in themselves, are mixed in very cleverly with a good filibustering story. A group of rouges are preparing to ship a ship-load of ammunition to Mexico. In a daring exploit Fairbanks upsets alf-.of their plans and provides some good thrills for the spectators.
 Here the title is apt. It IS rather satire on the American worship or achievement in the form of the doilar, and publicity that results from it's pos session. The windup where Doug as "Cassius' invents a two hump nat pm that gives him a full page add in magazine and entities him to be mem Der of the "American aristocracy'' IS an example of the kind of humor that r"'S through the whole story.

Discolored, Wrinkled
 Skin Easily Removed

Since brown or yeliow.-over-red or blotchy compiexions are decidedly not the fashion, it is difficult to unders tand why so many continue to wear them. Surely every wom- an has heard of mercolized wax. This will positively banish every unsightly tint. The wax really takes off bad completion. It gradually, harmlessy, absorbs the thin layer of surface skin, with such defects as liver spcts, pimples, freckles, blackheads. lust gradually the discarded skin is re- placed by the clear, white, youthful skin underneath. Mercolized wax. procurable at any drug store. is applied nightly like cold cream and erased mornings with warm water. One ounce will produce the loveliest girlish complexion in less than a fort night.
 It is hard to unders tand, also, why folks will be botbered with wrinkles, since the famous saxolite formula has become public property. One ounce of powdered saxolite dissolved in half-pint witch hazel. makes a wash lotion that will quickly efface every line, even the deepest-Adv.

to the surface of the skin, and cannot be successfully treated by local remedies. You have but to look around you at the numerous helpless victims of Rheumatism to confirm this statement. Ask any of them and they will tell you that no matter how much liniment they use, each season again finds them in the grip of the disease.
 Do you want to have the same experience? Or are you willing to take advantage of a treatment that has been suc- cessfully used by many vic tims?
 Many cases of Rheumatism are due to a tiny germ in the blood, which multiples by the million and carries it's pains to different parts of the body. Such cases must be treated through the blood, and the dis ease germs eradicated before the disease can be conquered.
 This is why S.S.S., the fine old blood remedy, has given such satisfactory results in the treatment of Rheumatism. It is such a thorough blood clean ser that it removes all foreign substance from the circulation, thus clearing it of the germs that cause the disease.
