High Compliment Paid Them at Chi-
 caEo Meeting.

pr. w H. Saunders. State Health Oficer. returned yesterday from Chi cago where he went to attend the meeting of the Legislative Committee ot the American Medical Association, of which he is a member.
 Dr. Saunders said that the princi. pal topic discussed at the conference was that of perfecting a uniform law for all of the States, regulating sani- tary matters as well as medical. The Alabama law was cited as an example of a well planned statute. which, with a few changes and amendments. might be made general in all Of the States of the Union.
 Dr. Saunders said that statement from him of what was now proposed for Alabama in the way of establish ing sanitariums for epileptics and tu- berculosis patients was received with astonishment by medical officers rom some of the more thicklv populated States. "I was assured by several of the delegates present" said pr. Saun- aers. that Alabama's laws were about inc best in the country in regulating health and sanitary conditions"

ARMY,s ANNUAL TREE.

r.n+ T.. A. Odom. of the Salvation Arn,y vesterday made the following statement as to the plans Tor a Chrlsl- mas tree given annually to the poor at the court house:
 'The present outlook of the Free Christmas Tree which is to be given to 700 women and children at the Court House on the 27th of the present month. is bright, regardless or the fact people are a little pressed TOT money at present While great many of the business men of Montgomery are suffering from the present conol. tions of finances, yet they realize that the poor are also having a struggle as well, and so are contributors to thls worthy cause. There are many tain- lilies over the city that are having hard struggle. They are not able to buy comfortable clothing. and not aple to furnish shoes for their children ana in many cases they suffer for food. q found one family yesterday em- ploved at one of the cotton nils, who say their pay amounted to 2S cents last week after some little debts had been held back. This family did not have a morsel to eat in their house and only 2s cents in money. The Army gave them groceries sufficient to run them over this week until they could catch up. One of the mills has only run four days in the week for the last month, and it has already created hard times. The Army will endeavor through their Christmas tree to give every one of the women and children a present, such as shoes, clothing, mats. caps, etc. It Is estimated that 1t Will cost at least $70O to give the 700 per- sons a present each.
 About $500 of this amount has been raised, and there remains $400 to be raised. It will be necessary to raise this to make a success of this event.
 Those who can are urged to respond either with clothing, groceries or money. Secondhand clothing Will De accented. but will not be given from the Christmas tree. It will be placed among the poor and needy from time to time The phone of the Salvation Army Is 2S21."

Any Mail for Santa Claus?
 Neu Order to Deliver #.

tie heart is made glad by receiving what is asks for in this letter to Santa Claus, the Department will feel that 1t had done a great deal, and hope to see the day come when reputable persons can go to the post officc and call for a letter to Santa Claus and feel duty bound to provide for the child who writes 1t what Is asked"
 Nearly all of the charitable organiz- ations have even more than they can look out for now. but 1t is believed that there will be no trouble in attending to the wants of at least portion of the children who file their petitions to old "St. Nicholas" for a present this year.
 When Postmaster Dimmick was ask ed about the matter yesterday he stated that he would be glad to give the letters to any responsible society. He was of the opinion that there was no society here that would take charge of them and in this he was right, un- less some one who has never done It before, steps in this year and takes charge of the letters. Without doubt any action on the part of benevolent society to take care of the letters from the little tots will meet with the hearty approval of MT. Dimmick and his as- sistants at the post office.

Conhding little children who write letters to Santa Claus and drop them in post boxes will be recognized by Uncle Sam this wear, general instructions having been issued bv the Post Omce Department that all such letters be turned over to charitable organizations instead of being sent to the dead letter office at Washington.
 In many cities the charitable organ izations have made arrangements to take these letters and investigate each one as to the needs of the children writing them. and far as is possible, supply the wants.
 The rule Issued from the Post Ohice Department was at the instance of Post master General Meyer. who perhaps. remembers when he was a boy whose fancy ran to some coveted article his parents were unable to secure for him.

there were several men that Manager Ryan wanted to buy but that he did not want to authorize him to go ahead and make the deals without consulting the directors. He said that he wanted to Ind out the wishes of the associa- tion in regard to this.
 A resolution was introduced by E. ident Bernard Frank that President Chambers and Manager Ryan be au- tn orized to buy the men in question. ager Ryan will have to put out some pretty lively punches of coin. By the liberal spirit evinced by the directors at the meeting two things were proven first, that they are determined to do everything possible to give Montgomery a winning ball team in 1908, and. second, that they have unlimited confidence in the Judgment and discretion Of Jimmy Ryan,

given for closing mail by the steamer
Aorangi. That steamer arrived ahead
of time at p. IN. Friday and her
mail for the Colonies closed at thus
giving but one hour to correspondents,
though the sailing time was set for
IL o'clock. The spokesman for those
aggrieved admits the fact that the
local mail for the Colonies is furnish
ed by only a few people and of in
considerable amount, yet he thinks
that when boat takes them some
what by surprise more than an hour
might be allowed for getting their let
tiers in.
