COURTS WILL SOON
TAKE SUMMER RECESS

1t will be but week or two until the
county courts adjourn for the summer
months. At present there is but little OF
interest doing in any of them, the pas
several days having shown a decided
laxness in the filling of new suits, with
the exception of one or two days.
Employees about the courthouse are
pleased over the approaching adjourn
ment 1t means that they will have an
opportunity of catching up with theI.
work, which invariably remains behind
during the sessions Of the court. II Il
were not for these summer adjournment
months, work in the offices of the clerks
Of the various courts would never be
caught up with. .4s4
An immense lot of business has been
transacted In the various courts during
the past few months, which has illustrat-
ed greatly the need of a larger court
house. Every court room has been
crowded to its capacity day after day
end there has been much complaint. Wit
nesses have been compelled to stand for
hours in the crowded corridors. One OF
the most pitiful sights about this tenn
pie of justice Is to see tired woman
with a baby In her arms and several
children hanging to her, sitting on ons
of the hard, uncomfortable benches whicn
adorn the corridor of the third floor
There they sit for hours at time until
the case in which they are interested
Is called.

MORE WAGONS AND
CARTS FOR GARBAGE
Gafford Talks About City's
Present Equipment
A GREAT IMPROVEMENT
Sanitary Inspector Burson Says NO Ar
rests Are Made in the Territory
which the Garbage Wagons
Do Not Visit
A GREAT IMPROVEMENT

Next Wednesday evening the City
Council will grant to the city street and
health department the use OF ~ more
mules with 10 more carts and 10 more
wagons by which to dispose of the city
garbage" said Street Commissioner F. II.
Gafford yesterday evening.
I'VE need 80 more mules and 90 more
wagons added to the present equipment
for hauling away the city garbage IN or
der that the work can be done In an ap-
solutely satisfactory way, but with the
20 additional outfits which will be grant
ed wednesday a great Improvement Will
be made in the handling of the city gar
bage and the entire Greater Birmingham
territory will be given a respectable gar
bage cleaning system.
IT took this matter up nearly two weeks
ago with Mayor OBrien, and he readily
sanctioned the movement, but on account
of some regulations the matter had 10 lay
over for two weeks before the council
could take action. The bill will be passed
next Wednesday night and the new equip
ment will Immediately be put into service.
At the present time the city has IA SAM
IaTY wagons anu on SdA boeO "o-SS,~@' -
the 20 new ones the department will have
10 vehicles, and l believe that with that
number the garbage of the city can cas-
lily be gathered and disposed of as fast as
it accumulates." -ti
Chief Sanitary Inspector Wallace Bur
son said yesterday afternoon that he
thought The Age-Herald had done the city
sanitary department an injustice In the
editorial which was published yesterday
morning. Mr.. Burson said I'VE do not
make any arrests for violation of the gar
bage can rule if the offense is committed
in a. district where the garbage wagons
do not go. Our activities are entirely
confined to the territory that is thorough
ly covered by the garbage wagons OF the
city, and feel that an injustice was done
to me personally. and to my assistants
when It was said that we made arrests
where the garbage wagons did not go.
Yves. indeed, we do need more gar
bage wagons, but have nothing In the
least to do with that part of 1t. be-
lieve, however, that that Is mistake,
and that the control and management of
the city garbage wagons ought to be ex-
clusively in the hands of the health de-
partment. AS it is. the street commits
sioner has control of the garbage wagons,
and when there are not enough 1 have
nothing to say about it.
IT know that there are many districts
in Greater Birmingham, especially since
the acquisition of the new suburbs, that
have never been visited by garbage
wagon, but I also know that we have
never made an arrest in those territories
on account of the lack of garbage can.
We made about 20 arrests yesterday in
Avondale on account of families being
without garbage cans, and We will keep
up the crusade until the evil is abated''

TALK ABOUT VIADUCTS

Henry B. Spencer, vice president OF
the Southern Railway company and chair
man of the railroad committee having in
charge the viaduct question for Birming-
ham, was in Birmingham last night en-
route to Washington from Montgom-
cry
Mr.. Spencer was in Montgomery to
appear before the railroad commission
relative to the Tuscumbia depot petit
tion.
Mr.. Spencer said he did not care to
make any statement about the viaducts
for Birmingham as the railroad repre-
sentatives had made no new plans since
the recent offer was refused by the city.
Mr.. Spencer said a re-convening of the
committee of railroad men would take
place soon in Louisville and there a
proposition would be agreed upon. He
said every consideration would be shown
Birmingham in the matter of construct
ing viaducts for this city.
Mr.. Spencer added that l.. Sewer, the
companys executive representative In
Birmingham. would be notified in adj
vance of any meeting.

A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER,
Gains IL Pounds on Change of Food

When change in food can rebuild a
man II years of age. 1t is evidence that
there is some value in a knowledge
that can discriminate in the selection
of proper food to rebuild the body. A
physician attending Calf. man II
years old. told him that death from
old age would soon claim him. He suf-
fered from general weakness and de-
bility.
An old lady advised him to quit coffee
and drink Postum and to eat Grape
Nuts food every morning. He took THE
advice. and has gained IL pounds. Says
he Is well as he ever was, and can
take long trips in the mountains which
he had been unable to do for a long
time.
There is a reason for this; in the
first place, coffee acts as a direct nerve
destroyer on many highly organized
people, both young and old, and many
people haven't the knowledge to select
nourishing. healthful, rebuilding food.
Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are
made from selected parts of the field
of phosphate of potash and albumen.
These two elements combine in the
human body to quickly rebuild the
gray matter in the brain and In the
nerve centers throughout the body.

from their use and can be proven by

back. He persuaded the negro ambulance
to take him to his home on Enon Ridge

HURT IN RUNAWAY
Young Men Are Thrown Out of Buggy
on Third Avenue

L. T. Burt and Arthur Chamberlain
were somewhat bruised and cut early last
night on Third avenue when the horse
hitched to the buggy in which they were
riding ran away.
The affair created quite an amount of
excitement. The two men were driving
slowly when an automobile passed them
at a rapid rate between Twenty-first and
Twenty-second streets. The animal SHE'D
at the passing machine. AS the corner
of Twenty second street was reached a
street car whzzed around the corner and
served to further brighten the horse. He
SHE'D again and almost ran into a couple
of women who were crossing the street.
This was too much for the horse and he
started up Third avenue at full speed. AS
he passed Twenty-third street the two
men were thrown out to the ground.
They were able to arise Immediately, but
in a moment each discovered that he was
covered with bruises and cuts. They were
not serious enough to keep them from
jumping up and running after their horse,
which they found quietly standing at the
corner of Third avenue and Twenty-sixth
street.

COMMISSION TAKES UP
TUSCUMBIA DEPOT SITE

John A. Lusk and w. D. Nesbitt as
sociate railroad commissioners, returned
to Birmingham last night after attend
ing a meeting of the commission yes
terday.
The most important topic discussed ac-
cording to the commissioners was the
Tuscumbia depot site. The people have
presented a giant petition requesting
changes in the depot plans, and are pre-
senting a stirring case contending for
the depot The case was taken under
advisement by the railroad commission
ers and will not be decided until a later
meeting. Henry Spencer, vice president
of the Southern railway and l.. E. JEFF
fries, attorney for the company at Selma,
represented the Southern railroad inter-
ests
The depot site at Jasper also received
consideration. The question relating TO
Jasper was informally discussed but no
official action taken. This case involves
temporary injunction secured by the
Northern Alabama which was filed to
stop the commission from compelling the
Northern Alabama to occupy union sta
ton.
The Northern Alabama attorneys do
not question the right of the commits
sioners to order depot erected but they
do question the legal right of the COM
mission to make a company go in joint
ly and construct a depot which they
claim has no advantages over the present
conditions. This case will be tried in

LOSES HIS DIAMOND
Physician Drops Ii Sidewalk When
He Pulls or Glove

DR.. B. S. Lester, who has his offices in
the Empire building. had a peculiar ex-
perience yesterday in which he came out
with the loss of a $500 diamond ring.
DR.. Lester came down to his office in
his automobile. He jumped out of the car
and as he crossed the sidewalk he pulled
off his glove. When he reached his office
he suddenly discovered that his diamond
ring was gone and the Idea struck him
that he had pulled it off with the glove
and the ring had dropped on the side
walk.
He hurried to the street, but a close
search failed to recover the valuable two
carat diamond. DIR. Lester questioned
some of the negroes who were standing
about and they told him that they had
just seen man pass by and pick up a
ring and place it on his finger. The man
was a white man, the negroes claim. They
gave description of him and City Detec-

BUILD TUNNELS
ALL OF CEMENT
Seaboard VIII Guard Against Cave-in,
Such as Was Experienced
Last Winter

To guard against any such accident as
befell the company last year when Roper
tunnel caved in, the Seaboard Air Line
management will construct all tunnels OF
cement between this city and Atlanta.
The tunnels which are to be lined with
cement are located at Roper, Divide and
Hardwick.
The cementing of these tunnels and
the repairs necessary will involve the
expenditure of about $4,000.
Last winter just as the Christmas bust
ness was at the maximum the tunnel at
Roper caved in and for several weeks
trains were operated over Roper noun
tain to Cedartown. This involved serious
delays and risks.
The cementing of tunnels was an in
itial departure by the Louisville and
Nashville This company constructed its
recent tunnels with this material.
Work on Roper tunnel will be COM
pleted in about three weeks. The work
at Divide and Hardwick will start this
week or within few days.
