SOMETHING THAT WILL DO YOU
GOOD.

We know Of no way in which we can
be of more service to our readers than
to tell them of something that will be
of real good to them. For this reason
we want to acquaint them with what
we consider one of the very best rene
dies on the market for coughs, colds,
and that alarming complaint, Group.
We refer to Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. We have used it with such
good results in our family so long that
it has become a household necessity.
By its prompt use we haven't any
doubt but that it has time and again
prevented Group. The Testimony is
given upon our own experience, and
we suggest that our readers, especially
those who have small children, always
keep it in their homes as a safeguard
against croup.-Camden 6. c., U. S.

sufficiently large and fertile to afford all

IL ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER N ALABAMA
Extension of Limits.

Montgomery is preparing to annex
its suburbs, and so is Richmond, and
SO is Atlanta. But is Birmingham?
When a city is constructed on the
basis of avoiding taxation, we have
indeed bounds that would make a
horse laugh. This town has such
bounds today, and like spirit and
purpose, towit, selfshness of the most
unpatriotie and shortsighted sort, is
Keeping off consolidation, belittleing
our standing before the country. in
iuring our credit, and working harm
to every part of the valley.
Sanitation alone calls for consoli-
dalton. The trunk sewers will soon
be completed, and connections with
them should be made on a general
and comprehensive plan, SO that no
part of the valley will remain in an
unsanitary condition 70 contaminate
other parts
Not single well-founded objection
lies against consolidation, save only
and always tax-dodging. The tax
dodger who is in hot haste to secure
the benfits of the central city wishes
to avoid his share of the burden. This
is all there is of it. He proposes to
make the city grind his axe, but he
does not propose to turn the grind
stone even a little bit
The choice is between the general
good OF the valley and the tax-dodger.
Which shall it be?

NED BRACE TALKS OF EPIDEMIC OF CRIME
I'm BIRMINGHAM AND CITYS PROSPERITY

T Is a serious situation in Birmingham
when highwaymen can operate upon
the streets of this city and hold up
and rob citizens going from their busi-
ness houses TO their homes. do not
censure the police force because Birming-
ham has not one-third the policemen it is
entitled TO. The fault is apparently with
the efty's finances. The mayor and board
Of aldermen have struggled over this
matter and have not yet been able to
remedy It. I hope. however. with the
beginning. of the new year that the
finance committee of the board of alder
men can devise some scheme by which the
police force can at least be doubled
/ In this connection, we all know that
Birmingham is very rough town during
the Christmas holiday season l there
fore think 1t would be wise for the mayor
to authorize the chief of police or the
police commission to employ during the
next week at least twenty extra men to
serve during the entire week The ex-
pense to the city would be SMALL
Last year the scenes In Birmingham on
Christmas eve night were simply horri-
BILE. No citizen on the streets that night
felt himself safe. This year 1t should
be different. Let-the mayor and board Of
aldermen and police commission act at
once. The expense will be too small =
matter to bubble over.
The old policemen as well as the extra
men should be instructed to watch care
fully for those carrying concealed weap-
ons and to arrest every man who has a
pistol. If the pistol toters are locked up
in the city Jail, there will be but little
danger. The man with pistol during
Christmas times is a dangerous man.

Ouaranilne a Back Number.

DR.. Wyman, surgeon general Of the
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service, anticipates the elimination Of
quarantine by improved sanitation,
especially at all harbors. The recent
+ conference Of the American Republics
( at Washington has this in WV. Every
seaport is to be urged to cleanse itself
to equip itself with good sewerage,
soil drainage, good paving, good water
supply, ana last but not least, the de-
struction of mosquitoes and their
breeding places.
The scientists who recently met in
New Orleans at the sessions OF the
American Public Health Association
agreed that the mosquito holds an abb
soute monopoly as a dissemination of
germs of yellow fever, and is an active
agent in the spreading of other COM
municable diseases, such as scarlet
fever typhoid and diphtheria. But in
the case of yellow fever all modern
scientific Investigations go to show
that the mosquito holds as dissem-
inator a monopoly.
The destruction eff the mosquito and
+. its breeding places Becomes, there
fore. broad and general issue, and
some means must be found to rid the
land of the pest. It assuredly can and
will be done, and every state should
do its part. The losses of one yellow
fever visitation, with its attendant
paralysis of business, would pay the
entire expense, and leave a large sur
plus fund on hand Simply because
we have endured these pests hereto
fore is no reason why we should per-
init them to scatter disease and death
hereafter. The house fly also carries
to food disease germs, but the house
fly does not inject deadly germs direct
" into the veins of innocent sleepers.
No, indeed 1t is the mosquito that
must go first, and every locality should
take hold of the work The flight OF
the mosquito is very short-less than
half a mile, and it is your own mos
quitoes. from your own pools and
filth, that poison your own children.
Don't put blame on your neighbors
that rests properly on yourself. The
mosquitoes of jones valley are bred
in Jones valley, and as soon as the
county sewers are completed, there
is no reason why the mosquito should
not be exterminated throughout this
valley.

consequence, all the merchants last night
were doing a thriving business and the
indications are that the sales for the first
three days of this week will be greater
than at any time in the history of Biz
mingham. The miners, as well as the
machinists and worKmen of every char
acter, are making higher wages than ever
before known. They are satisfied and
contented with their lot in life. Their
ability to earn and spend makes every
thing in and about Birmingham pros
porous.
The stock market is of no consequence

The Age-Herald this morning is q fair
indication of the prosperity of BiEmlng-

than 1t has ever carried in one regular
issue in its history.
It might be we'll in this connection to
state that there is not a competent man
in the Birmingham district desiring en-
ployment who cannot get it. Indeed, the
demand for labor. as we'll as clerical as
sistance is apparently greatly in excess
of the supply. Particularly is there
desire for young men of education and
energy Almost every business house and

looking for young men of ability and

The new constitution of Alabama has
apparently effectively done away with
the negro vote. Out of a total registra-
ton In Jefferson county Of 1914 only 1856
negroes have been permitted to register
under the law. The negro will therefore
amount to nothing in politics in Jefferson
county in the future. This is very well,
too When the negro is eliminated from
politics, he makes a better and more
valuable citizen.
