Board of Health Meeting

IA meeting of the board of health was held in the office of Dr. Parks, Twenty first street and First avenue at o'clock yesterday afternoon, Dr. Sholl, the chair man, presided, and the following were in attendance:
 Drs. Due, Wilder Wilson. Barclay, Woodson, Parks and Robinson.
 It was thought that the vaccine points now in use could be improved on. as in flle hot weather they were liable to de- teriorate. Dr. Parks recommended that the virus be secured from a firm in New York. This firm puts it up in tubes, and it is easier kept than are the points. "A supply was ordered. The change was made on account of the discovery that there were a large number of failures dn vaccinations. and pr. Parks has yet to make failure with the new virus.
 pr. Due, the assistant county health of- ficer, reported that there were no new cases in the city, and that the last case was taken from the county jail on Mon- day night. One house had been disin- fected during the day and four suspected cases examined.
 Mayor Evans contra sted the work of the health officers in this city with those of Montgomery In the latter city there is one physician to each ward and over 2O,000 people have been vaccinated
 In Birmingham the city Is divided into four sections with two physicians to each district. He wanted to know if by placing one man nj each ward would it not be more economical and give better results. This was his opinion in view of the fact that great deal of the work would have Ito be done over again on account of the failures of the vaccination to take in a number of instances.
 Dr. Wilder, the city physician, made on interesting report of the condition of affairs at the Red mountain camp. Only one case was received and that was from the country. It was Annie Mcdonald,
