BIR RMINGHAM MAN
 INVENTS GARTER
UNIQUE DEVICE FOR MEN IS DE- SIGNED FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT GARTER AROUND THE LEG.

In the office of the Standard Fuel com -pany in the Steiner building, it's president, Theodore Davis, has practically demon- starated the truth of the adage, "Neces- city is the mother of nvention," by in- venting for personal necessity an article that promises to bring him handsome returns.
 MT. Davis has invented a practical nov city in a garter for men that does not go around the leg, and it is perfect in it's usefulness and of such extreme sim plicity that it places itself among the most unique inventions.
 A company has been formed to manu- facture this garter called That's All" out
 The New York office reports flood of orders from Canada to Texas and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and even Europe has recognized this Birmingham invention for a shipment left for Ger many on last Saturdays steamer.
 While developing the garter into its finished state it went through an inter- esting process of evolution. To develop his idea MT. Davis first made a buckle out of ordinary wire bent with his fin- gers Later he utilized the tin of tobacco boxes and little aluminium plates to make the buckles and finally worked Up to the design for the finished nickel buckle made by automatic machinery. In the first garters he made he used ordinary office rubber bands out these gave way to the handsomely bound silk rubber of the finished article.
 New York papers have been loud in their praises of this Birmingham inven- tion and one of the first shipments of the finished article was received by a local dealer last week and in one day they sold over 200 pairs of these garters, an extraordinary indorsement of its merit. It is estimated that in the United States 20, GOO men wear garters and an enor- nous success is predicted for this inven- tion.

>NO MORE DUST AND
 FLIES ON FRUIT Food Vendors Of All Kinds Must Protect Goods BAKERIES ALSO WARNED Display Stands For Fruit Must All Be Remodeled So As to Ex-
 cIude Flies and
 Dust.
BAKERIES ALSO WARNED

Mayor Frank P. O'Brien has tight ened the lines in the sanitary work of the city, and has begun a very close cam paign for the protection of the public food. One of the first moves was a rigid inspection of the fruit stands of the city, where conditions were found to be far from satisfactory.
 It has already resulted in the arrest and conviction of Greek who was found sell ing bananas with crawling maggots in them. He was arrested by Officer Street, under Sanitary Inspector Burson's direc- tion. Judge Feagin gave him s5, with the provision that another offense would mean $50.
 Mayor O'Brien and Health Officer Harl1- ness have dug out the old screen ordi- nance passed several years ago, which prohibits leaving any foodstuff uncov- cred outside of a building, and makes protection of food from files and dust compulsory, no matter where it may be. Under this law every fruit vender could be arrested, but the city Is going about 1t in a common-sense manner, and will give them all time to remedy conditions Health Officer Hardness and Building h. spector Matthews have gotten up a care fully planned drawing for the guidance of the fruit men. The stands all over the city will have to be remodeled, so that sliding glass doors will protect the stuff from dust and flies. At each end ofNthe stand the covering will be of close net wire, thus allowing fresh air to pass through the shelves. It will be necessary to build these large, as the practice of leaving open barrels and boxes on the sidewalks will have to be discontinued.
 In the same manner a careful inspection of all other places is being made. Sev- eral restaurants have been warned. Open fruit and vegetable wagons are on the list, and are being given few days to comply with the law. Sanitary Officer Burson has written letter to all the bakeries in the city. fnstructing them to close up their wagons both back and front in order to do away with the draft which takes in dirt and passing filth
 The officers are keeping close watch out for every other violation of the food laws, and unless the sections are compiled with strictly arrests will follow.

 An old resident of Baird, Tex, got some mighty good advice this way once.
 He says:
 Drinking coffee left me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble, with constant pains in my stom- ach, back and side, and so weak could scarcely walk.
 "One day 1 was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble and told her l believed coffee hurt me. Neighbor said she knew lots of people to whom coffee was poison, and she pleaded with me to quit 1t and give Postum a trial l did not take her advice right away but tried change of climate, which did not do me any good. Then I dropped coffee and took up Postum-
 My improvement began Immediately and 1 got better every day I used Pos tum.
 My bowels became regular and in two weeks all my pains were gone. Now I am well and strong and can eat anything I want to without distress. All of this Is due to my having quit coffee, and to tue use of Postum regularly.
 My son who was troubled with indi- resl;or thought that if Postum helped me so, 1t might help him. It did, too, and he Is now well and strong again

Lovelady have stated their intention of fighting for the abolition of the fee sys- tenn and it really looks as if the mat ter will be brought before the legisla- ture when the body convenes in special session.
 What is needed now more than any thing is concerted fight throughout the state. About the only way. this can be accomplished is through the press and all of the state papers should join Jef- ferson county in her fight. Jefferson, Montgomery and Mobile counties are per- haps the worst sufferers from sthe sys- tenn and no doubt the representatives from these counties will make things hum when they let in on the matter.
