Systematic Boosting

Birmingham was well boosted just after the census was announced, and some boosting is being done now. no doubt, but as few cities have so much to brag about there should be no Tagging in the matter of legitimate advertising said a professional man.
 ''The Chamber of Commerce is doing splendid work in many directions. It dis seminates information of an attractive chaarcter and will always do so. This organization is now well appreciated by the people, and no one who is familiar with it's good work will offer any word in the way of criticism. I would suggest however, that a new boosting movement is now in order. Under the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce the citizens will always be responsive"

Anniston Prosperous

II. B. Rudisill of Anniston. the well manufacturer of soil pipe, spent yester- day in Birmingham. He is a public spir- ited leader in the business life of Annis- ton, and is personally one of Calhoun county's most popular citizens.
 "Annston is prospering," said Mr. Rud- is'll. "All our industries are in opera ton except the car works and the com- munity is going forward commercially. feature of Anniston which we now speak of with great pride is the white way. The illumination is most bril- liant and the investment is well worth while. The white way will be extended, believe, from the business district to the passenger station"
 Talk About Weather and Business
 We have had the longest summer this year in the history of Birmingham so far as l can learn,' said Bert Jacobs of Ben M. Jacobs and company dealers in high class furniture. The summer started early-in May-and at the end or September it is still with us. While we have had some pleasant days and some very delightful evenings, the nights as a rule, have been warmer than usual at the close of the summer season. I was the weather officer here for several years before the government opened it's station and sent an expert to take charge of it, and l can recall nothing In the records that indicated such long summer as this. Not only has it been hot all over the United States, but Great Britain and the Continent of Europe have suffered more than usual from heat and drouth.'
 MT. Jacobs when asked about the state Of trade said that the furniture business had been better for September than in August. Trade with us is becoming hrisker as the fall season advances" said MT. Jacobs. "The crops in Alabama this year have been particularly good, and look for very brisk trade here later in the year"

Stringent Law

T voted dry in 1907 because I thought Birmingham needed a clean ing up from liquor point of view and starting over at some future time, but I have been an anti-prohibi- tionist ever since" said a business man. T have no apology to make for my vote of four years ago, but l would act the same way under the same condi- tions, but not being a prohibitionist on principle I voted in the recent elee- tion wet and for high license.
 .I read the Smith regulation act and think in a general way 1t is excellent It is very strict. It seeks to minimize the evils of intemperance and with such an excise commission as Jefferson coun- ty has we may be sure that the provi- sions of the law will be carried out as near to the letter as possible. I am not a saloon thinker, but believe that in a city as large as Birmingham the saloon system is better all things con- sidered. than a dispensary system would be. I drink beer at home and would have no scruples about drinking it in a saloon, but 1t just happens that home drinking satisfies me quite we'll
 q will always be opposed to saloons selling liquor on Sundays. I think they should be absolutely closed from Sat urday night until Monday morning and they will be closed, here In Birming- ham because the law is very explicit on that point I am sorry, however, to see that the law also prohibits ho- tels-the highest class hotels as well as the small ones-from serving liquor to their guests at meals on Sundays. In most large cities hotels are allowed to serve drinks to their customers on Sundays. There may be some abuse from this privilege, but there is really no excuse for the abuse. I am certain there would be practically no abuse of such provision in Birmingham.
 But there is no use complaining. What has been writ has been writ. It is possible, but not probable, that the next legislature will amend the strin- gent Smith act in favor of hotels and their guests, but I would be willing to bet that the law will remain as it is for long years to come and in this connection I would be willing to mako a little wager that there will be no more Jefferson county elections on the liquor question during the lifetime of any of our present voters"

Wouldn't it G. A. r. You?

An exchange gets off The following,
which we have a sort Of suspicion is
not true:
Some one was telling Of WatertOWn
girl who is so bashful she bushes every
time she sees a sleeping car, Of the John
son Creek girl who faints at the sight Of
undressed lumber, the Reeseville girl who
locks herself in her room and pulls dow =
the blinds every time she wants to
change her mind, Of the Juneau girl who
is so shy she Will not wear undressed
kids, the Waterloo girl who never thinks
of retiring with copy of the Christian
Observer in her room, and the IX0nia
girl who is so modest she will not use an
improper fraction. But these really
pass into significance by the side Of the
Jefferson girl who SHES at the bare truth
or the naked fact and who has elimi-
mated from her vocabulary garden hose
and bureau drawers, and runs when she
sees a salad dressing. This same girl
positively refused to stay in the Office
while the forms are being made up.

Making improvements.

The Schempf Bros. Co. are making ex-
tensive improvements in the interior of
their store building. The brick wall be-
tween the main sales room and the gro
Gerry department in the rear on the first
floor, and the same wall on the second
story, are being removed, which will
give more space and light. The office,
which is now in the rear and up above
the floor on the first floor will be placed
to one side and provided with more
light from windows in the rear of the
building. Should the changes contem-
plated furnish sufficient light, the light
we'll from the lower floor to the roof will
be removed and floor space increased to
meet the demands of the trade, which
requires more room to handle it.

Cook Pork Well.

Cases of illness sometimes occur from
eating uncOoked or insuficiently cooked
pork which is infested with micro
scopic parasite commonly known as trio
hine or flesh-wOrm, the scientific name
being Tricninella spiralis. An average
of 1 or per cent Of the hogs slaughter
ed in the United States are infested with
this parasite. When transmitted to hu-
man beings, trichinae may cause seri-
Gus illness, sometimes resulting in
death, Out of about $4,000 cases of tric-
hnOsis recorded in medical literature,
most Of which occurred in Europe, $50
resulted fatally.
No method of inspection has yet been
devised by which the presence or alb
sence of trichinae in pork can be deter
mined with certainty, and the govern
ment meat inspection does not include
inspection for this parasite. All persons
are accordingly warned by the United
States Department Of Agriculture not to
eat pork, or sausage containing pork,
whether or not it has been inspected by
federal, state, or municipal authorities,
until after it has been properly cooked.
A temperature of about 16O degrees
Fahrenheit kills the parasite, therefore
pork when properly cooked may be eaten
without any danger of Infection. Fresh
pork should be cooked until it becomes
white and is no longer red in color in
all portions of the piece, at the center as
we'll as near the surface. Dry-salt pork,
picked pork, and smoked pork previous
ly salted or picked, providing the cur
ing is thorough, are practically safe SO
far as trichinosis is concerned, but as
the thoroughness of the curing is not

state law Under which officials may

warm and exciting campaign the op-

AIM AND PURPOSES OF THE MUTUAL,
FREEDOM LEAGUE

herents hundreds of thousands of indi
vlduals who have been restored to health
and the enjoyment of life after they had
slgnally failed to obtain relief under the
treatment given by the school of which
the American Medical association is
largely composed.
The legislation that we are combating
would, if successful, mark another long
stride in the establishment of Russian
bureaucratic system in the place of the
democracy of the fathers, inimical to the
rights of the people and contrary to the
growing spirit OF opposition to TRUSTS,
MONOPOLIES and PRIVILEGED IN
TERESTS which is so marked at the
present time; while such bureau as is
contemplated would soon entail an enOr-
nous and ever-increasing burden of ex-
pense to the taxpayers. Prof. Fisher, in
letter written to physician and read
in recent hearing, stated that 'Once
started" it twill surely expand within a
decade so that Millions UPON MILLIONS
OF GOVERNMENT MONEY WILL BE
PUT INTO THIS NEW FORM OF Ma
TIONAL DEFENSE"
The League proposes to wage persis-
tent educational campaign, with the
view to clearly exposing the purposes of
the privilege-seeking class and securing
for the people protection from the most
dangerous trust that is to-day clamoring
for legislation that would enable its
members to gain power and wealth at
the expense of the rights, the interests
and the sustenance of the people.

The aim and purpose Of this League is
the maintenance Of "the rights of the
American people against unnecessary,
unjust, oppressive, paternal and un-
American laws, ostensibly related to the
subjects of health"
1t will strive to protect the people IN
the enjoyment of one Of the most sacred
rights for which man has had to contend
against priyilege-seeking classes The
Right To Select The Practitioner of His
Choice in The Hour of Sickness.
1t will seek through publicity and ed
ucatlOn to oppose any legislation which
endeavors. to put into power any one sys-
tenn of healing and use the government
prestige, money and machinery to en-
force it's theory and opinions upon citl-
zens who believe in other forms Of heal
ing.
Consider for q moment these grave
facts:
1. II national department or health
bureau is established it will be dOminat-
ed by the American Medical association.
2. The American Medical association
has long been aggressively favoring
monopoly legislation or restrictive laws
that would deny the intelligent citizen
the practitioner of his choice.
3. There are millions Of highly intelli-
ent citizens whose belief in regard to
the healing Of the body is diametrically
opposed to that of the American Medical
association. Indeed, there are great
and rapidly growing schools or systems
