 The entire booklet is charmingly illustrated and perhaps it's purport and mission can be best given by quoting from the preface as follows: Some ad- vertisers regard successful school ad vertising as more or less matter of happy chance mystery Instead of that it is a matter of automatically de- fined cause and effect. If you read the between the lines, you must certainly become convinced that we know how to cause the desired effect

 It would appear from a careful exam- nation of the provisions of this act, so far as it relates to the duties of the coun- ty board of health and the city health officer, in respect to the health laws and sanitary conditions of a municipality. that it was the intent and purpose, as well as the spirit, of this statute to em- power the city health officer under the direction and control of the committee of public health with the general contre, over the enforcement of the public health laws and general supervision over the sanitary conditions of the city. It would seem equally apparent that this general supervisory power must be exercised through the medium of and in accordance with the health ordinances of such mu- nieipality unless such ordinances conflict with the general laws of the state, and in that event the general law must gov ern. It is my judgment, therefore that while the general supervision and en- forcement of the sanitary laws is lodged in the hands of the county board of health of Jefferson county and the city health officer of Birmingham. elected by said board of health, yet their supervisory power over the city bacteriologist, the meat and milk inspector, the garbage and street cleaning inspector and the plumb- ing and sewer inspector should be admin istered and applied ''in accordance with the health laws of the state and the health ordinances of the municipality. | remain, yours very truly,

guess you will be surprised at re- ceiving a letter from me at this late date. Before I tell you my motive in writing you I want to tell you that have never taken a dose of morphine since I left the Sanatorium. I am sure there has never been a patient that re- ceived more perfect cure than l did. My son, who also took treatment with you, never resorted to the use of the drug again. Now, MT. James, l want to ask you what you would let me have the whiskey, wine and beer cure at by sending three orders at a time. There are three gentlemen that I am person ally interested in for whom I want treatment and as the money will have to be paid by me I feel that you will help me all you can. My heart Is set in trying to reclaim these parties. They are, three periodical drinkers. Please let me hear from you at once. as one party is just getting over a spree and I want to commence on him before time for another. Do the best you possibly can for me, as I am determined to try your home treatment on these parties. I think it was five years ago when my son. Dr. Bryan, and myself took the treatment.
 With best wishes for yourself and Sanatorium. am very respectfully. your friend, MRS. J. B. BRYAN.

Lincoln must be hustled out OF town.
