Letters to The Editor
Hotels and Sanitary Conditions.
 fa 1Q0T


 Editor The Advertiser:
 In regard to the bill introduced into the Legislature to improve the san itary conditions of hotels and restau- rants in Alabama. it is only ridiculing the subject to speak of 1t as only 'cIean sheets" that are wanted. It Is we'll to know the mosquitoes and flies convey the infective agents of disease So do also impure water and milk. These insects should be exclud- ed from hotels. The milk and water supply should be inspected by one who Is familiar with sanitary science There are other important things which can not be mentioned here. such as venti- lation. etc. which are necessary for a healthful home. I read an editorial in today's Atlanta Constitution about bout leg, E. fslating for clean sheets" in hotels In Georgia, in which it seems to convey the idea thatthe sheetsare nata aii that af course the same principles apply to private residences for making nt1 g,va them to be left voluntarily with an enlightened public to adopt sanitary conditions.
 Respectfully,
 B. F. Rea, Jr., M. D.

AM navigable streams are under the direct control of the United States government and we do not exactly see where the Alabama Tax Commission of the Mobile and Montgomery steam boat line. It certainly has derived no rights from the State of an intangible character and when taxed upon it's property the right of the State on the taxing line has reached it's limit.

The Brooklyn Eagle dons its robe of

 prophecy and predicts thusly:
 Officially, Georgia will be dry after January 1. Actually. Georgia will be just as dry as Maine. which Is also prohibition state. and 1t will be no drier The number of trunks in Geor- gia will increase after January l.
 We'll, that remains to be seen. Some optimistic Georgians think-or think they think-that prohibition can be ef- fectivAy enforced and nothing but a trial will convince them one way or the other. Other states have thought the same way and been undeceived. and it remains to be seen whether Georgia will break the record. They are deter mined to try the experiment and mo- thing else will do them.

Within the space of a few weeks Alabama has lost her proud distinction of possessing the strongest represent ation in the Senate of any State in the country. Many other States can boast of one great man in the upper branch of Congress. but Alabama had two. and both were giants. Senator Morgnn's services covered . period of thirty years terminating with his death only who recently passed away, attained no less distinction. though his term of service was only one-third as long,
