COUNCIL IN BUSY SESSION
Reward of $1oo Is Authorized for Ar rest and Conviction of Murderer of w. H. Hawkins-Veter-
 ans to Elect Delegates.

Gadsden January 19.-( Special. At meeting of Company c in the armory last night the names of 40 members were dropped from the rolls and the men given their discharge. This ac- tions was taken because the men dis charged failed to take sufficient in terest in the company. The officers of the company are very anxious to make a good showing at the annual encampment and prefer to have a small well-drilled company to a large one made up of men who are not proficient and will necessarily make poor tm- pression. The men dropped consti- tuted about half of the numerical strength of the company and the 40 remaining active members are pledged to a special effort to secure new en- Iistments of men who will take an ac tive interest in the affairs of the com pany and help in making it one of the leading organizations of the state.
 The city council had a busy session last night. Among the various things considered was the ordinance for
  ton on which was again deferred. A petition was presented asking that the council refund the unearned license tax collected from saloons last year and wh ich licenses had not expired at the beginning of the year when the sa- looms were forced out of business un- der the new prohibition law. This matter was referred to a committee. Numerous petitions for the lowering of licenses were heard and passed up- on. A hundred dollar reward was au- thorized for the arrest and conviction of the murderer of W. H. Hawkins.
 Commander R. A. D. Dunlap of the Emma Sansom camp, Confederate Vet erans, has issued call for meet ing of the camp to be held at the court house on Saturday morning for the purpose of selecting delegates to attend the annual national encamp- ment to be held in Memphis next June.

The Advance of Medical Science Since
1879.

Some figures read by DR.. Broslcy,
the Commissioner of Health in this
city, at a meeting of the Northwes,

more was $4,000, and at present it is
approximately 100000, the increase
in population being 90 per cent" said
DR.. Bosley. 'In 1879 there were 4SA

that the ratio Of death from diphthe-

times as great in 1879 as in 1909 tells
a story Of medical achievement. Thir-

A smile Is frequently used to conceal

however, 1t defeats its purpose.
