Bags containing approximately $150 belonging the Calvary Baptist church was stolen from closet in the home of E. c. Mcknight, 1880 Fourteenth street, north, sometime Monday, ac- cording to reports at police headquar- ters.
 The money was mostly in small change, collections from the services held at the church Sunday, MT, Me Knight told City Detectives Elledge and Williamson who investigated: When he came in from the services Sunday night placed the money in bag and left in the closet. That was the last he saw of the money.
 The theft was discovered Monday afternoon when Mir. Mcknight came home from work and went into the closet. Apparently nothing else in the house was disturbed. The detectives made a thorough examination of the fastenings of the house but could find no place where the thief might have entered. They were inclined to think that it was taken by sneak theives using pass key.
 Mir. Mcknight, who is treasurer of the church,, has been in the habit of taking the collection home with him after the services and carrying it to the bank the following morning He forgot the money Monday, he told of ficers, and naturally looked for it when he came home.
 There was approximately $100 in change and currencyaand $50 in checka he said,

Big French Liner To Spend $1O,OOO For Fuel
 At Mobile

MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 22.-(Special Leased Wire.)--The big French liner De laSalle. crack ship of the Com pagnie Generale Transatlantic, will be in port tomorrow morning for bunkers, paying thes first visit to Noble and being the first passenger liner under the French flag to ever dock here. Be- cause coal Is about $3 ton cheaper in Mobile than Galveston, her owners decided to have the vessel call here on her voyage from Galveston to Havre. At prevailing rates, about $10,000 will be spent for coal.
 J. B. Oliver, agent of the French liner, said today that the De la Salle would have passengers and freight aboard, although no passengers would be picked up here.
 Coal, trimmed in bunkers, sells here from $5.1O to .$5.50 ton, depending on quality; at Galveston, where coal must be barged from Alabama and other mines, the rate is much higher.
 The Bay City fuel which is giving the De la >Salle about 2,000 tons of bunkers, also is fueling the British steamer Mabay for trip to Cuba. This latter vessel is taking about 5000 long tons of coal as cargo in addition to machinery, with Page and Jones agents. The De Bardeleben Coal cor poration s.is loading the cargo of coal on the steamer

 Robert DePeron and company open the bill with difficult stunts of strength and endurance. This company presents several new offerings in their line. Robert DePeron has his company well trained and seems to keep them in shape, as the numerous difficult lifting stunts they present can only be staged by men and women in thes sheights of physical condition.
 Rhodes and Broshell, accordian ar lists. barely have time enough to &C., tually show how much they can do. Something new is offered in this act.
 Next to the headliner is the little musical skit Marriage vs. Divorce" which proved great laugh provoker. Marriage" as a goddess, introduces the young couple in love.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE LYRIC


 Although there is no outstanding act aon the Keith bill which opened a tthree-day's run at the Lyric Monday afternoon, at least three of the num- bers feature enough class to make the offering one of outstanding entertain ment value. The program is particular ! ly well-balaDced as appeals distinctive to young, cd and intermediate, are registered by the various sketches.
 Howard, who bills himself as a sub radio vocalist, perhaps finds most favor . with the audience in an act which af- fords not a few originalities in the art of yentriloquism. The high point [ in his performance is reached when \ he impersonates the radio and throws in sNoice, to all audible appearances. to sthe roof of the theatre. The effect sreached in this bit is amazing and he had difficult time breaking away from the applauding audience.
 Some twists at hte heart strings combined with a number of laughable lines make the playlet, Mothers Diary" q success. The theme of the skit is slightly care-worn but an ex- cellent handling of parts by Arthur Devoy, Rexford Burnett, Evelyn Faber, and Marie Forester together with some picturesque settings for the scenes, gets the act across in wonder ! ful shape.
 ,., Birds of Paradise" with the Chal- fonte Sisters closes the show and sue ceeds in holding the crowd until the final song and dance number is com 7 pleted, a real tribute by the Lyric patrons. TOodles and Ted score re- markedly well with the young folks but are clever enough to please adults as well Lye and Virginia offer Just Another Beauty" which also comes in for a fair share of the reception. Pathe News, Aesop's Fables, and Topics of the Day make up the silver-sheet num- bers.

There will be strong quar- tct of end men this season as it in cludes besides "Lasses," Billy Doss, Dan Holt and Bobby Burns while the interlocutors will be Maxwell Gordon and Frank Gilmore both of whom possess fine voices. With singers and dancers the All Stars is most fully equipped.

M ANY people imagine that ec- 4V1 zema or letter needs only some external application on the skin in order to get relief. This is because the attention of the suf- iarer is so violently directed to the intense burning and itching which accompanies this disease. Try as they may-permanent relief will never be theirs until the disease laden blood is thoroughly cleansed.
 We know there is one thing that stops eczema and that is more red blood-cells! S.S.S. builds them by the million! You can increase your red-blood-ce1IS to the point where 1t is practically impossible for ec- 'zema to exist. We know that as blood-cells increase in number blood impurities vanish! We also know that night follows day. Both are factsi But have you, eczema sufferers, ever actually taken ad- vantage of this wonderful fact? Thousands just like you have never thought about 1t. Skin eruptions, eczema, with all it's fiery, skin dig ging torture, and it's soul-tearing, unreachable itching, pimples, blackheads and boils, they all pack up and go, when the tide of blood. cells begins to roll in! Blood.cells . are the fighting giants of Nature! S.S.S. builds them by the million! 1t has been doing it since 1926.
 S.S.S. is one of the greatest blood-cell builders, blood-cleansers and body strengtheners known to us mortals! When you put these facts together,-then to continue to have eczema and skin eruptions looks more like sin than dis ease. S.S.S. contains only vege. table medicinal ingredients. Be. cause S.S.S. does build red-blood. cells, 1t routs eczema, clears the skin, builds firm. flesh, fills out hollow cheeks, and gives you that more up and going appearance.
