CHARLIE CHAPLIN COMING
TO COLISEUM SATURDAY

There will be double bill at the
Coliseum next Saturday night.
Charlie Chaplin in "a Days Pleas
nre" is the comedy and Bessie 8arris-
Gale in 1.-THE Heart of Rachael is
the photo feature
The best points of Chaplin's many
pictures serve as his guiding basis
for the production of this picture.
Although not sacrificing a laugh, he
has confined this production to
strictly legitimate comedy and it can
candidly be said that it is the clean
est comedy that has ever been
brought before the public.
Two noted screen children, Mary
Jane Irving and Ben Alexander, have
strong parts in the picture, 'The
Heart of Rachael" in which Bessie
Barriscale is starred. Ben will be
remembered as the Juvenile star in
.Griffith's Hearts of the World

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARkEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and
Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. You will get
large bottle of this old-time rec
ipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at very little
cost. Everybody uses this prepara-
ton now. because no one can pos
sibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does 1t so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application of two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.

PRIbIL0F FOXES
MAY BE USED FOR
BREEDING STOCK
Biological Survey Has Ar
ranged for Island Foxes to
Be Obtained by Farmers

Interesting itsen in the needs OF
farmers, the Biological Survey has
obtained arrangements by the Blu
reau of fisheries whereby Pribilof
Island blue foxes for breeding stock
may be more readily obtained by
private operators for nfusing new
blood into farms already established
or for original stocking, according to
K. p. Walker, Chief of the Biological
Survey in Alaska. The Pribilof blue
foxes are generally conceded to be
the best stock and many parties have
desired to obtain breeding animals
from these islands.
arrangements have been made for
limited number Of 1922 pups to
be delivered at Unalaska the fall OF
1922 for $175 per animal" said Mr..
Walker. $50 far as is possible eff
forts are to be made to connect with
the regular mail steamer Starr at
Unalaska so that there may be the
minimum delay in reshipping to

tory care of the animals at Unal-

resentative, Donald II. Stevenson,
with headquarters at that point, will
do all in his power to render assist

animals.
Requests for animals may be
made direct to the Burea uof Fisher

neau offices. After arrangements are
completed for the number of animals

Mr.. A. H. Proctor, superintendent OF

for many parties desiring foxes would
be for several to join in sending one
representative to Unalaska to meet.

 BATTERY PRICES
 REACH BOTTOM

If your old battery shows signs If giving up the ghost you will well come the news just announced by I. B. Richardson of Live Wire Bat tery company. 2116 Avenue c, service station and distributor for the old and we'll known Prest -O-Lite prod- ucts.
 Why shouldn't we be enthusi- astic," says MT. Richardson, when we have just received word from prest-O-Lite headquarters of another substantial reduction in the price of batteries-the second one this year!
 In spite of the low prices at which we have been selling, there are still some car owners who have been mak- ing their old. worn-out batteries do until prices had reached rock bot tom. Well, these people won't have to wait any longer, because our prices today are the lowest at which high grade batteries have been sold in the last seven years. We also make full value allowances for old batteries.
 "Yes. automobile owners (and who doesn't own one nowadays?) are ke ,n on price. but they have also learned that quality is a big factor and that the plates are the life of battery. The combination of perfect Prest- O-Plates with their rugged wearing quality and our new rock bottom prices will certainly satisfy every .ir owner"

HERE'S A NICE SUNDAY DRIVE
Automobile Club Sounds Warning as to Speed in
 Small Town

The Birmingham Automobile club is called upon frequently to suggest trip for Sunday driving. It is generally conceded that a motorist starting out for pleasure ride much prefers an objective point rath- CT than drive around aimlessly, es- pecially should his wife be driving from the rear seat and changes her direction with much frequency.
 How many Birmingham motorists have ever had the pleasure of look ing over the magnificent landscape as laid out in Shades valley from the most admirable point of vantage, known as the Aldrich place. about three miles beyond the Bluff Park hotel on Shades mountain. In minia- ture this view reminds one forcibly of the delight of Lookout Mountain, which in itself Is most wonderful At the Aldrich viewpoint is built a little summer house out on the very bring of the preciplce and now 1t is but very short while until the yer dure will be changing, allowing all the different colors of nature to be exhibited to the very best advantage
 The Automobile club has outlined several such trips which will appear weekly in The Age-Herald and can be made with much pleasure and at the same time will acquaint our peo- pie with the excellence of the ma Jority of our roads throughout the county. of which they are now in ignorance.
 If you can't go the day published, clip out of the paper and use when convenient.
 Motorists over Shades mountain should use caution in regard to speed as the town of Edgewood claims quite Jurisdiction beyond their town limits and the willy min ions of the law on motors are instru- mental in assessing the public, a large majority of which never enters the sacred confines of the municipality, with enough fines to add materiaTIy to the coffers of the town, which is bountiful addition to its much need ed income.
