OBEY LAWS OF
 ORAL HYGIENE
Dental Science Proves Germs Make Acids That Eat Away the Enamel, Causing Cavi- ties, Gums Become Infected, Causing Pyorrhoea, Infec- ton Spreads to Throat and Tonsils, Poisoning Entire System.

Dental statistics prove that about ninety-five per cent of the mouths Of adults are infected with germs. When it is remembered that the mouth is the main entry to the system, not only for food, but for germs as well, it is easy to appreciate the vital importance of oral hygiene. Neglect leads to prema- ture loss of life as well as premature loss Of the teeth.
 Dental science has perfected a most agreeable and effective sterilizing solu- tion for the toilet called Steroline, which, used as mouth wash and gar- gle, night and morning, absolutely ster- ilizes the mouth. teeth and throat, pen etrating even the minute crevices be- tween the teeth, which cannot be reached in any other way.
 Steroline quickly becomes a most en- joyable and indispensable part of the daily toilet It imparts a delightful sensation of cleanliness, freshness and comfort to the mouth and throat, puri- fyirS and sweetening the breath even of tobacco, preventing pyorrhoea or Riggs Disease, tonsilitis. throat trouble and many other contagious that mi ght otherwise gain entrance to the system through the mouth.
 Telephone your druggist now for a bottle of Steroline and begin today to enjoy its delights and protection. A large bottle, enough for the entire fam fly, may be had for half dollar.-Adv.

OLIVE THOMAS IN
 "OIJT WONDER"

Olive Thomas new Selzpick picture, Out Yonder," which is now showing at the Alcazar, is one which for sheer gripping interest has seldom been ap- preached. The genius of Director Ralph Ince and the artistry of Miss Thomas have combined to create as compelling a drama as the screen has ever known.
 Cast in the role of Flotsam, a little waif of the sea, Miss Thomas displays that ability which has placed her fore- most among the screen stars of today There is an elusive, elfin' charm about her to which words do scant justice. but which surrounds her on the screen with an almost tangible aura. It is this charm which she employs to such good advan- tage in "Out Yonder''
 Miss Thomas is excellent, the support ing cast is adequate, direction is mas terly and the scenic effects are truly beautiful. In every way Out YonderI' Is representative Selznick picture.
 The latest Sunshine comedy, Training Tor Husbands Mutt and Jeff cartoon ana continuous music by Earl Wiley and Lester Huff. organists, complete the pro- gramme.

MUSICAL EVENING AT HE JEFFERSON
Great ViOlinist Delights Ap- preciative Auditors With
 His Witching Artistry

Few concerts or artist recitals have been hear1 in Birmingham this season which have been so thoroughly enjoyed as that by Sol Marcosson. violinist, and Mrs. Edna Gockel-Gussen, pianist, at the Jefferson Theater last night They were presented by the Music Study Club. but the audience was not as large as usual In fact. it was not large at all. and more is the wonder Mir. Mar cosson is the star artist of Chautauaua, and many advanced students of the vio- lin go to the popular resort for the ex- press purpose of pursuing their studies under his direction and hearing him play.
 It was a delightful entertainment in- deed MT. Marcosson executes with sin gular facility, and of course all musi- clans here know what Mrs Gussen can do at the piano.
 Mr. Marcoeson is a clean player and produces a warm. convincing tone. The first number on the programme was the sonata in c major by Grieg. The pianist and the violinist were at their best
 Wieniawski's Concerto in D minor came next and was played in character istic dash and brilliance. That concluded Part I.
 The second part was made up of short pieces, and most of them were gems ard included two negro spirituels-' \ bloody Knows de Trouble I see" and Deep River transcription by Maud Powell, who made of it a large and muslcianly number). Alabama was beautifully rendered, and the Kreisler group was warmly received.
 The programme closed with Wieniaw- skis Russian Airs.
 Every music lover who failed to attend the concert but who will hear about it's excellence, will regret their indifffer- ence exceedingly.
 If Mir Mareosson should appear in the recital course next season a capacity house can be counted on.

comedy, occupied the third spot on the bill. Thomas Jackson and his clever assistant, Miss Jean Russell, make the most .of the opportunities offered in the act for genuine acting.
 Frank Farron, a likable chap, loaded with songs and laughs, unloaded some of them upon the audience and proved a big hit. He has the way of put ting jokes across that stamps him as real artist.
 Cotton Allen and Mae Moore, billed as the happy couple, are exactly that, Their offering of popular songs. some clever dancing and bits of comedy left everybody smiling when they said goodby.
 The big attraction that is "standing em up'' at this popular theatre is the Eig picture, Desert Love-" with the popular cowboy actor. Tom Mix, in the title role. The picture Is just one gun fight after another, and, of course, the hero always wins. The picture Non easily with the audience Thurs day afternoon.

 Brengk's Bronze Statue Horse in re- productions of the works of famous sculp- tors is one of the prettiest acts of the Keith circuit. This horse, with a young woman, so faithfully initiate these works of art that not even the tremor of au eyelash betray life in the actors.
 Lowe, Evans and Stella give songs and dancing which carry the audience from Broadway to far-off Arabia.
 There is probably no instrument in the world that some one of the Six Musical Nosses cannot play. And in their act

THE WANDERER"
 AND LOUISE ORTH
Woman With Much Dis cussed Laugh at Jeffer-
 son Next Monday

That laugh of Louise Orth-wilful, ca joling. woman-childish; it ripples it's dew astating way through the entire second act of "The Nanderer," which comes to the Jefferson Theater next Monday and Tuesday nights, with matinee Tuesday.
 As Tisha of Jerusalem, the beautiful and heartless Miss Orth outvamps all the preceding stage and movie vampires or the past decade, and surely it has been an suspicious period for that type of stage beauty.
 But to get back to the laugh, which has created some discussion among the fair sex: One faction thinks it quite im- possible for a good woman to simulate the laugh of a wicked one, even if she be a good actress as well. The other faction, the larger one, is equally con- vinced that no respectable" woman could laugh like that on or off the stage. To settle the question, Miss Orth was consulted.
 4TIow did you get that laugh?'
 "Oh, that laughr' she exclaimed. 'fWhen I decided to laugh in just that way I did not realize what I had let myself into. It has almost cost me my standing in society The laugh is what I call the typical 'Tisha' laugh-that of the wilful, empty-headed, mereenary woman, which she employs among other wiles to gain her selfish ends"
 How did you hit upon the right kind of a laugh?"
 Since the laugh Is the only accom- plishment which humans share with none of the other animals, have naturally all ways been interested in it's psychology. So I know laughs and laughs. But will you please tell the public that good actress can laugh in hundred different wicked ways on the stage and still be a paragon of virtue?'

, they use most of them. Novel ideas in costuming and stage setting make this act offe of the best of it's class ever seen in Birmingham.
 Christie and Bennett, two boys from Virginia, seemed to have migrated to joy land in their early youth, for they have an act full of gewIIne humor that brings shouts of laughter from the lis teners.
 Joe Towle is a different monologist. The moment he comes on the stage tue audience begins to Jehuckle, which grows to a hearty roar before he leaves.
 "The Strange Boarder," with Will Rog- CTS, who has won fame for his portrayal of the simple everyday characters, in the leading role, is a story which causes the spectator to exclaim: How real" It IS the story of new boarder, a timid, se- cretive sort of chap, who proves that his timidity onlw served to cover some- thing finer underneath.

Saturday 10 Monday

On Saturday a n lagent called upon a prospective client rela- tive to selling him in- surance.
 "Busy now, come in Monday; l may then do business with you," was lthe reply.
 On Sunday 8 fire oc- cured in the store of this man which totally ruined his stock. His delay, which was an in excusable violation of business procedure, had been fatal.
 No matter how busy a man is, he cannot af- ford to hazard his busi- ness life through non- insurance for a single hour. His only protec- tion against fire, water, smoke, is the carefully written policy always renewed strictly on time.
 But fire is only one of the hazards against which t h e provident man will always carry insurance, either upon ms DuSlneSS, ms prop erty or his person. Theft |of goods or money, lia- bility for accident by motor cars, illness or |any kind of personal in jury, death inevitably approaching policies towering each of these contingencies are indis- |pensable.
 s uc h pro t ection would be cheap" at al- most any price; but at the moderate figures charged for such insur- ance today, the item |of cost cannot be con- |sidered. Insurance is Hike food and clothing
 a necessary invest ment.
 In all kinds of insur- lance the Trustees Sys- Item Insurance Agency, |2024 First Avenue, of |fers a quality of service mot to be excelled.
 Its policies are written with the- utmost care in standard companies, and it's service covers every possible interest of the holders of these policies in securing prompt adjustments of any losses that may be suffered.
