North Birmingham refused to allow the

Birmingham's great need of tubercu-

most forcibly to Mayor Frank p. O'Brien.
A lady from North Birmingham went to
his office and reported that at the re-
quest of girl who boards with her she
had taken the young lady's little n-year-
old sister to her house from the Mercy
home. 1t was thought at the time that
the little girl was simply in bad health,
but doctor diagnosed it as a very severe
case of tuberculosis.
The Mercy home refused to take the
child back with the disease, and the
mayor could give her no advice whatever.

a basement for manure and hogs;

am glad to see SO many farmers
naming their places. A name over

gives sort of dignity and air Of per

is always a great convenience to trav-

roads are named and a farm cannot
easily be located except by name.

silly and sentimental practise but
do not agree with them. do not
think much of a man who is not
proud enough Of his home to give It 8
