Progress of sanitary knowledge de-
velops the fact that some disease not
previously known to be spread from
person to person, is really communi-
cable, and, therefore, might be pre-
vented if promptly reported to the
local health officer.
Thus far, in every instance, as has
been the case with scarlet fever,
diphtheria, typhoid fever and CON
sumption, persistent opposition, he
says, has been met with, such as re-
fusals by householders and physi-
clans to report cases. of such dis
eases.
Expensive litigation results, and
still greater expenses are piled up
because Of the spread Of diseases
which might be restricted. These
losses continue many years, he says.
1t is now twenty years since mem

Dr. Baker observes, this important

OF such question
He believes that thousands of dol

LOCAL CREDITORS

MEETING HELD YESTERDAY
Liabilities in Birmingham About SIP : OOO-Trustee Will be Appointed to Look After Affairs-The Local
 Branch May Not Reopen

Pursuant to notice the local creditors of Ta.oott & Palmer, the stock brokers who failed on February 2, met at noon yester- day in the office of Cal5aniss & Weakley and granted the firm an extension of time, the same as Atlana and Macon creditors.
 It was 'ascertained that the amount which the concern owes in Birmingham is about $12OO0. No organization was effected, the meeting being informal.
 Charles H. Hall of Macon, an attorney for the firm, who arrived in Birmingham on Sunday was present and made full and clear statement of the affairs of the con- cern and after nearing it every creditor present signed an agreement similar to that signed by the Macon creditors, the text of which appeared in the Age-Herald of Sunday last It was to the effect that the creditors would transfer their accounts against the firm to trustee who would have in conjunction with Talbott & Palmer the management of the business until the debts were paid in full, margins and depesis ito be paid first; that the business of Tal- bot & Palmer be resumed and continued as before.
 Of the firms entire indebtedness here here about five-sixths of it was represented at the meeting
 Talbott and Palmer will reopen their Ma con office this week. They are free to re- open their office here any day they choose, but MT. Cabaniss stated that the firm had not decided whether or not they would continue their Birmingham branch It might be thought advisable, he said, to concentrate all their energies on the Macon house. It is generally believed, however. that an office will be re-estabished here in the course of time, if not now.
 Mir. Hall and Charles Talbott, brother of Ellis Talbott head of the firm, left for Ma con yesterday afternoon, much pleased win the outcome of the action of the cred itors.

 The bitterness that developed in the fight  over the federal senatorship, it was feared, would so complicate matters that the voters would not be able to vote for their choice for governor. Taking this view of the matter some party leaders started a move ment to have the primary plan modified In so far as it applied to the gubernatorial race. and the result is the call for meet ing of the committee which is to be issued today, as stated above.
 Thirty-four members of the committee have signed the petition for a special meet ing and it is presumed they are in favor of the change, and if that be true the voters will be given chance to cast their ballots directly for the man of their choice for governor.
