 Dr. H. B. Hardness, city health officer states that there has been no epidemic of ptomaine poisoning among infants of late in Birmingham. He further advises that ptomaine poisoning among infants need not necessarily be caused by the use of artificial milk in tins or by any other form of tin poisoning. Several cases of the poisoning have come to light where the infant affected drank only natural milk, the sickness being caused, like any other ailment of the bowels, apparently only from natural con- ditions

WILL CELEBRATE
 OPENING OF GUT
PLAN IS TO GET AS MANY SHE'LL BY COUNTY PEOPLE AS FOSSIL BILE TO TAKE PART IN THE AF- FAIR.

The Business Mems league has ap- pointed a committee with instructions to assist in arranging big celebra ton for the opening of the cut through Red mountain. It is hailed by the league as a great step forward in bringing trade to Birmingham, the ob ject for which the league is fighting.
 The idea is to celebrate 1t fittingly only between Birmingham and Shade valley but Shelby county, and all the territory toward the south which has hitherto been unable to climb the heavy grades.
 It is proposed to appoint the day for the opening at the convenience of the Birmingham and Edgewood Electric Railroad company. which is digging the cut, as a day fof the 6000 or more peo- pie who live toward the south to come to Birming gham. Especially will the peo- pie of Shelby county be invited. A large committee of Birmingham people will meet them in the cut, and Ehe formal opening exercises will take place.
 It is also suggested that barbecue be served on top of the mountain, and that prize farm wagon be offered for the best equipped team which comes from beyound the cut. These exercises will take place at about nocgi, and the city will be thrown open to the visitors during the rest of the day, the mer- chants putting on special sales. and the union of Birmingham and Shades valley fittingly celebrated.
 It is hoped that the cut will be finished ready for traffic before Feb ruary l.

COUNCIL FACES
 LIVELY SESSION Aldermen and Other Officials
 Must Be Elected SOME OF THE CANDIDATES Few of the Old Towns Are SaId To Have Exceeded Their Authority in Borrowing Money Prior
 to Annexation.
SOME OF THE CANDIDATES

Tonight occurs the first meeting of the City Council of Greater Birmingham.
 All of the committees will meet today and there is every evidence that the a busy and important one.
 Action on police, fire stations, schools, finances and other matters pertaining to the newly incorporated towns will be taken. After the council meeting 1t is generally considered the amalgamation will have actually taken place.
 Officials to preside at sub-recordsr courts in Ensley and woodlawn will be chosen-a recorder and an attorney for each place. Aldermen to represent the new territory will be chosen, too.
 It is considered pretty certain that P. J. Rogers and M. H. Mcdowell will be chosen to represent Ensiey and Vivian. J. D. Lacey and Alderman Layton. the tip is, will be chosen to represent Pratt City and Thomas. Frank W. Smith and Sid Norwood will, in all probability. be chosen to represent West End and Ely ton.
 It is understood that there will be more than one pair of candidates for the North Birmingham and woodlawn- East Lake berths. It Is considered prob able that in the selection of representa- tives of at least one of these places. a split among the aldermen will occur.
 D. F. Sugg and Fred G. Moore are candidates for the position of recorder af Ensley, while Roscoe Scott is candidate for the position of attorney.
 P. J. Duffin. H. H. Black and W. E. Perryman have been mentioned in con- nection with the recordership of Wood lawn.
 In addition to the decision of these of ficials there will be other matters of importance to be attended to. Mayor O'Brien will submit a message dealing with the various phases of Greater Bir- mingham. It is probable, too. that the council will take some action relative to the allegation that some of the newly acquired territory has gone beyond it's constitutional limits in the borrowing of money on bonds issued.
 The meeting is expected to be exceed ingly interesting and one of the most important of the current year.

DIR. COOK HAS LOST
 ANOTHER HONOR

New York, January 4.-Dr. Frederick A. Cook must strike off another item from the list of his scientific honors and this time the blow comes from the folks at home. The council of the Institute or Arts and Science, it was anonunced today, has voted that the discredited explorer be dropped from membership. The action was unani- nous and the dismissal is summary and 1t is the. first time in the history of the institute that similar action has sbeen taken.
 pr. Cook was a member of the execu- tive committee of the department of geography and until his polar claims were more or less shattered in Copen- hagen he had been held in high esteem by the members of the institution. He lectured to It's members on his polar discovery" soon after returning to America.
 So far as known, no particular effort is being made to discover Dr. Codx's whereabouts.
