Going after cause" with their usual tireless energys~the members of the Anti Tuberculosis League are endeav- bring to have the City Council pay more attention to an ordinance intro duced In the Council almost a year ago. in reference to the danger from flies.
 pr. Greil says the most adaptable breeding place for flies Is stable litter and as long as there are stables In the city and the refuse from the stables piled in the yards. un-screened. nf~s will continue their work of spreading germs.
 Lphoid. malaria. and other germs can pe counted on the legs of flies. by the hundred.r Dr. Greil says. and every time they alight they leave germs 2 little colony of them, that the draft from an open door may blow into the ar to be inhaled by e passing person.
 .The danger from flies. bred py tae thousand all oyer the city. n manure piles, cannot beioverestimated; they are the most prolific disease spreaders that is. for diseases of every descript- ion. that are known.
 "To combat their work. the follow in rordfnance was introduced in the Civ Council last June. It was re. ferred to a committee. and mas nos been. officially. heard from since: ",Be 1t ordained by the GUY Soun' ell of Montgomery as follows:
 .That after passage of this oroin' ance. 1t shalf be unawful for any per son. firm or corporation, to main.ain ar hermit on his. their or It's premtses within Che city limits of Montsomery ar within the Jurisdiction thereof. any uile or deposit of manure, except in places carefully screened with iou1seei 'hsn ssncssnn n ,.

 Need More Laws.
 Dr. Greil said yesterday. Tn speaA.ns of the matter, that the work or Lne antf-tuberculosis league was retardeo and it's good seriously lesseneds py tne fact that there are not enough laws or those in existence were not suf- acientiy enforced. to render the help to tife work that is needed. He says the prevention work in fighting tu- berculosis is the greatest thing the league can do. but as things sfanL the iearue can only suggest and inform. Z for the laws that would make their ground work in the light are prac- ticaily nil. as far as the authorities are concerned.
 ssWith the welfare of the. commun- ity in mind," pr. Greil said. there should not be stable inside the city limits that is not given the most thor ough sanitary attention. by screening Its refuse. Better still. 1t would be if there were not a stable in the city.
 The work of having these laws en- forced will be kept before the council and the public by the league. the Sleaguers say. until something is done X at will have the laws passed and en- N. eed that will enable the league to carry out the great undertaking.
