THE DEADLY DRUGS
 AND THEIR CRIME City Council Will be Asked to
 Limit the Sale TO PLAIN PRESCRIPTIONS From Reputable Physiclans-The Age Herald's Long Pleading to Bear
 Fruit-Chief Austin Speaks
 of the Monstrous Evil
TO PLAIN PRESCRIPTIONS

The Age-Herald has been long and con stantly pleading for protection to the com munity against cocaine and morphine and similar deadly drugs, and Chief of Police Austin has determined to give practical answer to that pleading insofar as he can He has determined to petition the Bir- mingham City Council at its next meeting to enact law prohibiting druggists and others from selling these drugs except up- on the written prescriptions of reputable physicians.
 This Is precisely what the Age-Herald has long been begging for in behalf of the very sorely afflicted community, and Chief Austin is taking a wise, just and humane step
 The regular physicians of Birmingham Legislature, which assemblies tomorrow seeking the common end of forbidding the reckless and indiscriminate sale of deadly drugs. At the moment this is, next to the concealed weapons crime the worst evil known in Jefferson County. There is al- ready a law against the carrying of con- cealed weapons. but it does not apply to the sale of weapons, and is a farce in ev- cry way. A law forbidding the sale of the deadly drugs would be effective, because the drug stores would obey 1t.
 Speaking in line with the Age Herald s prolonged arguments Chief Austin says:
 "The general public of Birmingham have no idea to what extent this iniquitous habit Is carried on. Hardly a day passes but some poor victim of the deadly drugs Is locked up in the city prison. These mems constitutions have been wasted away un- til they present the appearance of a skele- ton with a pale white skin drawn over 1t. Their cries for the drug have to be needed, or we fear they would die.
 "The use of what is commonly called dope is productive of crime, and within the last month young man has been-ee.- rested for burglary andzersns~ larceny. which crime grew out~of his unsuitable de- sire for the esSIug. In one instance he stole twns-Natches and was attempting to sell them for morphine. But this Is only one to my attention. Men have been known to break in drug stores for the sole purpose of stealing either cocaine of morphine.
 'The ordinance regulating the sale of such drugs should be rigid and I believe 1t will do much good toward breaking up the injurious habit. It is both injurious to the physical man and to morality"

Innes and His Band.

Innes is coming to the Jefferson Theatre with his band next Tuesday. His fame is making him rich Fame is an irregular thing Lord Dundreary might call it "deucedly' unfair. If she were not such capricious thing, many good fellow who is getting crushed on the bottom might be resting easily on top, Here are Innes and Sousa getting rich by simply waving a baton over their heads. Fame trips lightly by many worthy fellow, not deigning him a glance and smiles upon them. They are able to levy special tribute on the public purse. They are able to keep their bands at work and feed them on porterhouse steak and mushrooms. Other good and able leaders have tried the concert band business and had to count the railroad ties while marching home to their own music good music, too.
 Unfortunate, but talented, band leaders have been obliged to virtually pass the hat, and the unfeeling public, whimsical as fate itself, gave it back without putting a copper in it.
 The world takes no note of the element that contributes to success nor any of those that lead to failure It never consid- CTS that ambition and ability may be equal in victor and vanquished Wealth smiles, and the laurel wreath belongs to the victor, while oblivion is the best lot of the van quished.
 Innes wooed fame when he astonished the world with his performances on the trom- bone. Sousa embraced her when he tickled the public ear with his two-steps Fame once won is reasonably constant, but still eXacting. Innes was lost for a couple of years after he laid down the trombone for the baton. Then Innes, the band master and profound music writer, became known, and fame at once singled him out and lent him all the dazzle of his old achievements
 Innes and@Snc;sd might have been recog- arzeo as the greatest band leaders if they had never caused sensation by playing a trombone marvelously well or writing catchy nothings. Maybe, but probably not They may have unusual talent, but, how many more with equal or greater talent may live and die unknown? Such is fame

Shooting the Chutes."

Ollie Mack and Charles A. Murray, who made "Fnnegans Ball' weekly known for seven years, are stellar magnates in the latest farce. Shooting the Chutes," an- nounced at the Jefferson Theatre next Thursday, with a bargain day matinee, stand in the front rank of Irish comedians, and they are able to keep an audience in hilarious merriment during a performance.
 In this latest invention they have a ve- hicle which gives ample opportunities for the display of their versatile genius as fun producers. This is particularly emphasized In the grea Irish Derby at th1 Bunco Beach Race Track Gin which three horses are act ually used) and in the scene introducing a real chute at work
 There are many trained players, including. numerous girls in pretty costumes, in the company a variety of new up-to-date spe- ciafties, while the piece is staged with spe- cal scenery and mechanical effects.
