to him by physiclans resident in the county. must be investigated by the county offices. He must register vital statistics.
 pr. Gaston J. Griel. City Physician. said the City Health officer has many things to do. He must attend city em- ployes. prisoners and paupers; he must examine diseases which are believed to be contagious. He must make ex- animation of school children barred from city schools on account of con- tagious or infectious illness. He exam ines applicants for places on the po- lice or fire departments. must have gen. eral supervision of the sanitary and health conditions of the city. The city now had in operation a laboratory ade- quate for the needs of Montgomery. and was at the disposal of the physi- clans of Montgomery.
 Mayor Teague, speaking for the city government, expressed the willingness of the city to cooperate with the Board of Health in its work.
 Hon. Gaston Gunter. President of the Council. said the Council was a leg islative body and an assembly of lay men, but stood ever ready to act in accordance wit hthe recommendations of the medical fraternity. MT. Gunter said he hoped the city would soon be able to cooperate with the County natulcdl ASSoCihtlOn anu thus peFIeCt the health laws of Montgomery.
 Alderman Sullivan. of Ward 6. called upon for a speech. said this was one time he wished to be seen and not heard. He asked If Dr. Greil exam ined the mental as we'll as the physical condition of policemen and firemen.
 Dr. &. H. Saul. of the Council. au- thor of recent sanitary ordinances to regulate the inspection of meat and milk, explained the methods by which the inspection was accomplished.
 pr. R. $. Hill. a member of the County Board of Health. spoke of the universal concern of the medical pro- fession with all other phases of life. Yet the profession was probably less known, less understood than any other. Much had been accomplished by it. but the harvest still was rich; much yet was to be done.
 Dr. Hill concluded with a plea that the laymen would assist the medical associations in putting into operation the admirable health system of the State.
 The meeting then adjourned.

A Breakdown of ward GO~ernment.

The Outlook.
 A noteworthy. and unexpected en- dorsement of the commission form or muAicipal government has come from a recent investigation by a grand jury of A bribery scandal in St. Lcuis. In it's report the grand jury declares that the lower house of the St. Louis mu- nicipal assembly--knOwn as the House of peIegates-eleeted by wards. should be abolished and that the assembly should be supplanted by a commission or a unicameral body of limited mem bership. The Upper House, elected at large. the grand jury finds to be com posed of men of ability, dignity and standing, and 1t commends their work. The Lower House, composed of twen- weight ward representatives, 1t says is "a menace to decency, order ana good government" A large part or the trouble. in the opinion of the grand jury, is due to the ward representa- tion. The idea" the report continues, that any one member should repre- sent his own locality to the exclusion of the interests of the entire munich pality Is repugnant in itself" Yet this is what has happened repeatedly, ana the grand jury finds that legislation or the most beneficial public character has been held up and denied. Existing conditions, it thinks. show that the charter of St Louis has become obso- lete and that radical action is neces- sary. Therefore. the report says, we most heartily recommend that our present system of bicameral Legislative body. with its large membership, De supplanted by either commission or a unicameral body of liimted member ship to the end that the responsibility for the faithful and efficient discharge of the duties of our city officials may be assumed by men elected, not through political pull nor ward popularity, but rather because of their approved in- telligence character and ability"
 This instance from St. Louis is only one among many which show that American cities are more and more turning to the Texas idea, first de- monstrated in Galveston and Houston for relief from municipal inefhciency The commission plan, centering au- thcrity and responsibility in a board of perhaps five men elected at large does away with the difaeulties of di- vided responsibility and conflicting ward interests experienced by st. Louis and most other large American cities That it makes for efnciency and hon. esty has been amply demonstrated.

Vice-President Brown and Director Barnett ,to Throw Themselves on Mercy of Ccurt--StOle
 ThOusands.

San Francisco, Jan. 6.-The Bulletin this afternoon says that J. Dalzell Brown, former vice-president and gem eral manager of the wrecked Califor- nia Safe Deposit and Trust Company, and Walter J. Bartnett, formerly @ di- rector cf the same institution, who are under indictment for embezzlement. will plead guilty end throw themselves on the mercy of the court.
 It is expected that the evidence of their complicity in the abstraction from the safe deposit vaults and. subse- Quent sales of securities of the Colton estate and valued at $300,e00, were found among the papers of Brown last week, appear so convincing that both men have decided that it will be impos- ssble for them to make successful de- fense. Brown and Bartnett will be in Judge Dunne's court Wednesday,. It it not known whether they will enter their pleas at that time or ask for further continuance.

Making Good Without Liquor License
 Money.

Tuscaloosa Times Gazette.
 A citizen remarked on the street last night that 1t was the soberest Satur- day he had ever seen here, which sounds like prohibition had made good and effective start. Tuscaloosa, like many another town in the State. is starting out to make good with out the liquor license in the face of somewhat of a financial panic. However, from what can be gathered from all sides. there are few among the numper that key license with less burdensome taxa tion on it's citizens, and that are as little affected by the present money stringency. A number of merchants pro nounce the trade at Christmas and the weeks preceding as comparing well with other years, and at no time have the banks been forced to adopt any embarrassing regulations.

Eat What

You need sufficient amount OF

this you need to fully digest 1t.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
IN you strengthen your stomachif
4 Is weak.
You must eat In order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat sufiic-
lent amount Of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and 1t must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do 1t,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach Is weak 1t needs help;
you must help it by giving 1t rest,
and KOdol will do that.
