JB® ■ MAJOR JACK ALLEN mJORALLEN.FAMOUS; ■IL ROPER, HERE ’ Man Who Handles Ferocious Beasts Fearlessly, Has Young Lion With Him Major Jack Allen, famous among the world’s animal handlers, ar. I perhaps without an equal as a wild animal roper, is in Americus, hav ing come in his traveling van, which contains besides himself Mrs. Allen and a helper, a ferocious wildcat and a young lion cub, the latter be ing the pet of the outfit, and an, especial favorite of Major Allen H;s pictures, showing many of Major Alien’s daring exploits, will be shown as an added attraction, with out a charge at the Rylander Theater today only. In a series of two-reel pictures he is seen, first “Netting the Leop ard.” The picture shows the unwary traveller in the Indian jungle at tacked by these terrifying animals. They spring upon a horse and rid er, there is it thrilling race, ther rid er is rescued, but the horse is kill ed. Then Major Allen takes a huge net and walks up to the leopard; there is a spring and it is caught in the net. Two are secured in this way and transported t 0 the zoo. His activities are not confined to netting wild animals. In another two reels he is seen “Roping the Lion” Flying over the African desert in an airplane, much to the superstitious wonder of the Arab, goatherders, he hovers over a lion and catches him with dragging chains, anchoring him in the sand. Then he proceeds to lasso him ar leisure until he is helpless. The third picture, ’’Lassoing the Black Panther,” is the most picturesque of all. He encounters the animal in an ancient temple in Java. Th 3 black creature, sitting on the top of a monolith, is an unforgettble bit of photograph. Then Major Alien throws his expert lasso and ties the panther fast to the column.

L. Hand “During the many years that I ran a drug store at Charlotte, it was an every-day occurrence for women to ask me for something in liquid form to be given the children in place of calomel and castor oil. “I got to studying this problem and found that if I could get a hap py balance between certain vege table ingredients, some of which act on the liver and some on the bowels, I would be able to fill this very universal and very definite need. “I employed scientific methods and tested one combination after another unitl, finally, I hit upon a formula which proved up exactly right.

SHRINERS URGED TO VISIT HOSPITALS ATLANTA, April, 14—An ap peal from Shrine officials for Shriners to visit hospitals of their keeping “more often” during the coming months has been issued. discretion Cooking odors often tell us what our neighobor’s going to eat. Fumes that come sometimes compel us to admit she’s got-a treat. Baked po tatoes, corn augratin, frying eggs and kidney stew. Kitchen smells that aren’t forgotten; ones that sure appeal to you. When you’re hungry as the dick ens, after working all day long, floating wafts of broiling chickens make the tummy feel wrong. Ap petites are pesky critters, calling on a man to eat, buckwheat rakes, or sweet corn fritters; Boston beans or tender meat. Funny how you speed your walk ing when a kitchen window’s passed. And you hope, there’s no use talk ing, that your supper long will last. Thank your nostrils for the pleasure that the smell of cooking gives. Thank your neighbor, in a measure, if the smell’s from where he lives. Yea, these odors from the kitchen, floating on the evening air, keep 1 a fellow fairly itchin’ for his supper table share. Cook away and folks won’t mind it; gladly will the fumes be nosed. BUT, when you are cook ing garlic, keep your kitchen wind ow closed. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

DARKEN I YOUR GRAY HAIR Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and H Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will Know The use of Sage and Sulphur for fe storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful ef fect. But brewing at home is mussy ana out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old preparation, im proved by the addition of other ingre dients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. Well-known druggists say it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy, WS' Those X\ t night attacks of coughing STOP the first coughing spell withDr.Bell’s Pine-Tar Honey —then sleep returns.
