BIG DECREASE IN
 IN VACCINATIONS
HEALTH AUTHORITIES THINK THEY NOW HAVE SITUATION WELL IN HAND AS MORE THAN z5,OOO HAVE BEEN GIVEN VIRUS

Considerably less than thousand peo- ple presented themselves at the various vaccinating stations of the city health department yesterday to be vaccinated, and the doctors engaged in this work breathed a sigh of relief. Corps of doc tors were stationed yesterday at Ems ley, North Birmingham and Birming- ham, but it is thought that the total number of persons vaccinated during the day will not amount to more than 500.
 The vaccinating campaign will be con- tinued for several days yet, but the ma for portion of the work is believed to be over. Altogether over 25,00o persons have been vaccinated by the city health department during the past three weeks while the number of persons vaccinated by their regular physicians is estimated at several thousand.
 So far as the smallpox situation is con cerned there is but little difference in the total number of reported cases as a few weeks ago. About 30 patients are said to be at the county pesthouse, which is ten less than week ago.
 There have been few new cases break out in different spots in Greater Bir- mingham and the county during the past week. but it is thought the city authori- ties have the situation well in hand. One arrest has been made at Pratt City for the failure to report case, the man in whose house the disease broke out be- ing arrested.

 TOWARD RECOVERY
MAN WHILE IRRATIONAL AT
 TEMPTED TO JUMP FROM SEC OND STORY WINDOW OF LOCAL
 INFIRMARY

Elliott, the Short Creek mine super intendent. who attempted to jump from second story window at the Long & Hardness infirmary, is getting along very well according to reports given at the infirmary last night. Mr. Elliott was operated upon for abcesses of the brain and is still irrational.

Mrs. Elliott left the infirmary Wednes- day and guard was stationed to watch the man. This person was called away for few minutes, and when he returned MT. Elliott was just in the act of drop ping to the ground from the window sill which he was holding with the ends of his fingers. pr. Long was coming into the building just as people on the street first saw the man climbing out of the window.
 Dr. Long ran to the side of the building and attempted to catch Elliott when he came down. With several bruises for him. self he succeeded in at least breaking the fall of Elliott and probably saved him some broken limbs also.

YOUNG LADY GETS AC|D BOTTLE FOR
 HEADACHE CURE Miss Katherine Hibbler Drinks Fatal Dose Thinking It
 Is Paregoric CAME FROM SCHOOL AND HURRIED INTO HOUSE Was Late About Going to Take Her Music Lesson and Wanted to
 Relieve Her Headache
 Before strsting

Miss Katherine Hibbler, 16 years old, daughter of MT. and Mrs James Hibbler 1909 Fifth avenue, drank carbolic acid by mistake yesterday afternoon about 3 30 O clock, and died an hour later from the effects of the poison. She suffered ter rible agonies. Dr. John Davis was called and arrived few minutes after the ac- cident, but was not able to save the girls life.
 You'd better hurry, Katie" remarked Miss Louise Hibbler. katherne's sister, as Katherine came into the room yes- terday afternoon from school and was preparing to go to take her music les son. Miss Louise was sitting in the room sewing. Her back was turned to her sister. When Katherine did not an- swer, Liuise turned about, to see her lying on the floor, strangling and writh- ing in agony.
 It was claimed that the young lady had not been feeling well of late, and complained yesterdayNwhen she came into the house from school that she did not feel like going to take her music les son. She was getting ready to do so, however, and it is supposed that just as she was going out she intended to take a swallow of paregoric, a bottle of which was sitting on the dresser, together with Ia bottle containing the acid. There was just a swallow in both the bottles, and mistaking the acid for the paregoric, the young girl raised it to her lips, and the next moment sank to the floor, strangled.
 The acid was not diluted, and burned the girl so much that she was not able to speak She did not say word after she drank it. and even the efforts of the physician could not arouse her from the steady decline which soon lapsed into inconsistencies and finally resulted in death. She died at 4:3O o'clock
 James Hibbler, her father, is a com mercial traveller, and is in Jasper, Ala. A telegram was sent him immediately and he will arrive here at o'clock this morning. Miss Hibbler was student at the Henley school, from which she had just returned to her home when she drank the fatal potion. She was mem- Der of the First Baptist church, and a girl of sweet disposition, which gave her many friends among her schoolmates and acquaintances. The Hibblers came to Birmingham few years ago from West Point, Miss, where they formerly re- sided
 Miss Hibbler is survived by three broth CTS. Joseph F. Hibbler, Tolbert Hibbler and Walter Hibbler; one sister, Louise Hibbler, and her parents, James and Mrs. Mary Hibbler. The funeral an nouncement will be made later.

 shown in the proposed enterprise by Johis Barrett director of the bureau of Amer ican republics, as well as the official rep resentatives of the Latin republics at Washington. Another selected delegation will be appointed to visit the congress of South American republics at Buenos Ayres in July to extend an invitation for cooperation in the exposition.
 Discussing the enterprise, MT. Thompson said: "The delegation of New Orleans cit izens just now returning from Washing ton has every reason to feel proud of the success of the trip. We received really more enthusiastic encouragement than we had hoped for. The New Orleans exposi- ton in celebration of the opening of the Panama canal seems now to be assured. ',rhat some sort of appropriate celebra- tion of this d-important event should be held goes without question. New Or leans is the logical place for the holding of the celebration. Plans for the great event is the only remaining question.
 Taft Approves Plnn
 sPresident Taft expressed his approval of the proposed exposition. His recep- tion of the delegation was cordial and most encouraging. Speaker Cannon was equally kind, as were the chairmen of the various committees of the House and Sem ate, who will be interested in legislation affecting the exposition
 New Orleans will be the natural gate way for the commerce of the eastern, middle and southern United States to the Panama canal, and the people of the Crescent City are determined to live up to the great obligation that will come nat llrally to the town. We are determined to give the canal and the new avenue of commerce @ grand shove off An expo sition along the lines that have been planned is the best way that can be de- vlsed for the celebration.
 Admirable situation
 New Orleans is admirably situated and fitted for such an exposition. We nave 100000 hospitable people who will take pleasure in giving every visitor a good time and making the event all that it should be. New Orleans has not had an exposition since 1884. A new generation of people will be in charge by the year 1915 ready and keen for another bowling success, the greatest success of the kind in the history of the country.

FOR THE PUBLIC
New FOrmuIn Cures COughs. COIds,
 Bronchitis and HOarseness
in Five Hours


 Much is being done in these days to stop the ravages of consumption. but probably nothing has been so effective as teaching the public how to break up a cold and cure coughs, bronchitis, tonsilitis, etc, with simple home mixed medicine. A laxative cough syrup, free from whisky Is the prime need. A cough indicates inflammation and congestion and these in turn are due to an excess of waste and poisons in the system. A tonic laxative cough syrup rids the system of congestion. while relieving the painful coughing. Get the following and mix at home: One-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark. one ounce compound essence cardiol and three ounces syrup white pine conn pound. Shake the bottle and take twenty drops every half hour for four hours. Then one-half to one teaspoon- ful three or four times daily. Give children less, according to age. Cut this out and save it for some friend.
