The Mexican cattle country needs capital and reciprocity with the United States to bring it to high tide of pros perity.

The reptile appeared to be of the thick short variety that is so common in southwest Texas and the State of Tamaulipas. being drab colored "varmint" less than yard in length. and bragging five rattles, but relying for it's claim to be shown on it's possession of two well-formed feet near it's head end, which resembles the fappers of a walrus or the paddles of certain varieties of tortoise.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
 IS NOT RESPONSIBLE E
pr. A. T. Henley corrects Statement Made By Mayor About
 Garbage Question.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 see in this mornings paper that Mayor Drennen makes the following statement:
 'The matter and manner of removing the city's garbage is largely under the direction of the county's health officers. These gentlemen are elected by the Bir- mingham Medical Association. When they make complaint to me. that the contractor refuses or fails to remove the garbage then I will hire wagons and have 1t done. They have made no such complaint to me as yet"
 I presume that he means to refer to the Sanitary inspectors, Messrs. Walker and Sparks, but, without explanation, the public is apt to think that the Jefrer- son County Medical Society Is in some way responsible for the removal of the citys garbage. Under the State law, all officers whose duties are in connec- ton with public health functions must be elected by the County Board of Health or, in reality. by the Board of Censors of the society which is simply the Executive Committee of the society. Under this authority the election of Sani- tary Inspectors Walker and Sparks de- wolves upon the Board of Censors but beyond that the board has no responsibi- ity. The Sanitary Inspectors report to the mayor and the Medical Society has no further Jurisdiction. is no way responsi- ble for the removal of garbage. I am sure that Mayor Drennen did not intend to convey the impression that the County Board of Health was derelict in its duty but people who do not know the facts are apt to be mislead. In general way the County Medical Society does have the right to concern itself in all matters relating to public health. but it is not its specific duty to look after the re- moval of city garbage.

A number of physicians were questioned yesterday afternoon regarding the disease bred or fed by the work of the dust devil The concensus of opinion is well ex- pressed In the views of Dr. J. c.

 Dust may be charged more or less with being the direct cause of many dis cases Many 1t aggravates, and makes harder the work of physicians and nurses. Some of the most dangerous and most prominent diseases affected by dust are:

MANUFACTURERS GET IN BAND WAGON WITH THE OTHER DEAL FRS WHO SUPPLY THE NECEs- SITES OF LIFE.

In order that they may keep in the band wagon with all others who supply the necessities of life, Birminghems ice deal- CTS have advanced their prices. The City Delivery Company which controls the business of the city, or a larger portion, has issued a circular announcing the advance.
 The increased prices are effective April 1. The prices to wholesalers arc:
 Groceries, soda fountains, fruit stands. saloons, ice cream stands, milk depots. meat markets fish stands, dairies. refrig- orator cars in Birmingham, North Birm- ingham, East Birmingham, Avondale Pratt City and Ensley
 Two thousuand pounds of ice and over at one delivery at the rate of 20 cents per 100 pounds.
 One thousand up to 2O0O pounds at one delivery at the rate of 221a cents per hum dred pounds
 One hundred pounds up to 1000 at one de- livery at the rate of 25 cents per hun dred pounds.
 Seventy-hve pounds at one delivery, 20 cents.
 Fifty pounds at one delivery, 15 cents.
 Twenty-Five pounds at one delivery 10 cents.
 Ten pounds at one delivery, 5 cents.
 Groceries soda founts etc., in Elyton, West End. Smithfield Sayreton, Kingston, Woodlawn, East Lake, Gate City and Thomas; same prices with five cents ad- ditional per hundred pounds.
 Orders will not be received for delivery after 12 m Sundays. Orders will not be received for delivery after 6 p. m. during the week unless the purchaser agrees to pay a cash drayage charge.
 A large consumer of ice stated that the small consumer would feel the advance bad if not worse than the wholesaler. As 1t was heretofore, the larger consum- CT bought books for 2OO0 pounds, paying therefor 20 cents per hundred and re- ceived 1t when they needed it. As it is now unless all of the 200O pounds is de- livered in one lot the product will cost 25 cents per hundred pounds.
 Ice to the retail purchaser will be 30 and 35 cents per hundred pounds. Ac- cording to this scale half a hundred pounds purchased from a wagon will be 20 cents, while last year a whole hundred pounds could be purchased for 25 cents.
 It is stated that the output this sea- son will be smaller tnan last season on account of the non-competition of the Avondale factory.

of the reign of the Colts revolver in New

grayish-blue eyes, n pronounced hooked
nose, and scattering sandy whiskers. Ter

gagged in killing or playing cards, was
stealing cross-ties. He had the habit of
"snaking off, two tie-sticks from the cut

tiOn proved lucrative aud pleasant enough
TO Territory, his attempt to earn an hon
est living in this way was looked upon
with disfavor by the contractors. They
therefore promptly ''sicked the dog" on
him.
One morning, after a particularly salts
factory haul, Territory was drinking at
Dads saloon, where | had been listening
to accounts of ''hair-breadrh 'scapes.
There was not a soul in the saloon but
