FLAW is FOUND
IN VAGRANCY LAW
Most of the Migrants Arrested Are
Diseased and Get Out on Physi-
cal Disability Clause.

While the new vagrancy law is very
strong one it is not reaping its full har-
vest in Birmingham as yet. In the first
place it only applies to the time since
March 7, when the law went into effect
and the man is not responsible for him
self previous to that time.
Another thing that is releasing the ma
jority of those who are arrested on the
charge of vagrancy is that they are eX-
cusable on account of their physical con-
dition. The average vagrant IS naturally
A. diseased man, and all prisoner needs
is a physicians testimony that he is sick
and unable to work.

COUNTRY CLUB VOTES
TO RATIFY NEW LEASE

The Birmingham Country club at a
meeting last night voted by large ma
jority to ratify the action of the board
of governors in extending the lease of the
clubs golf links for a period of ten
years.
The final vote was not counted, but on
a test vote taken earlier the result was

sition that had arisen in the club against
extending the lease at an increased rental.

NOBODY WAS UPSET
BY PURE FOOD LAW
Has Caused Little Perceptlble
Change in Birmingham
GROCERS SEEM PLEASED
Inspector Duncan Discusses Work Of
Keeping an Eye on MIX Supply
of the City to Insure
Purity.

The pure food law agitation which has
made stir In many states has far
reaching significance which possibly can
only be realized in It's entirety by the
undertaken. each OF whom will IN the
near future experience the effects of pure
food legislation In their respective fields
of labor
Inquiry was made yesterday in Blr-
mingham as to the effect of pure food
legislation in this city. A prominent drug
gist said that the national pure food law
had not affected his business ut all, as
the wholesale dealers have conformed to
all the requirements of the law. leaving
nothing to be done at the retail end OF
the line.
A liquor dealer was questioned as to
the effect of the new law in his business.
why" he replied, "there'll be less rot
gut whisky sold and fewer Jags with
snakes in EN-. That's about all, 1 be-
lieve."
Effect on Soda Water.
A soda water dispenser declared that
his business was in no wise affected, but
that all dealers were awaiting to see
what kind of legislation would be put into
effect at Montgomery. II see that Chi
cage soda fountains will sell no moro
cent drinks on account of the pure
pIs
be, for there's little satisfaction and less
profit in cent drinks of soda or dishes
of cream, and I'm sure there's little con-
ducve to the general public health in
cheap drinks. A good drink of ice cream
soda or plate of cream for 10 cents Is
cheap enough and healthful enough, too"
Several grocers gave views favoring the
national pure food law, and said that 1t
was a great protection to them in their
business.
Inspector Duncan Talks.
A visit was paid to E. NJ. Duncan, city
inspector of meats and milk, and some in
formation obtained regarding the work of
his office. Mr. Duncan was found busy
with his test tubes and said that he was
in the city and proposed to prosecute fully
all violators of the law.
81 have issued a set of instructions to
dairymen," said he, by which they may
be fully informed of the local law and
see how easy 1t is to conform to the law
and save trouble. You see, here" con-
tinued Mr. Dundan, "a piece of paper put
into a sample of milk l secured the other
day. The paper is turned bright pink
by the adulterated milk and the milkman
thereby subject to a fine
'The local law is liberal enough to milk
dealers consistent with public safety"
said Mr.. Duncan, land much more so
than the Atlanta law, which l see has
forced a milk dealer out of business. l be-
lieve we should be strict, but not too
strict"
