Dr. Heacock Says the Companies Are Very Potent Hygienic
 Agencies

Dr. J. D. Heacock has returned from New Orleans, where he has been attend- ing a meeting of the medical section of the American Life convention.
 While at this convention" said Dr. Heacock, q was more than ever im- pressed with the fact that life insur- ance companies bid fair to become our most pos snt hygienic and sanitary agencies.
 "As a matter of fact. their prosperity depends upon holding down to the minimum the mortality rate of the in sured, and for that reason they are interested not only In the present phy- sical condition of their prospects. but in their hi bits and environment as well. They have an excellent oppor- tunity of disseminating knowledge through literature and their agents over the country concerning what Is conducive to the longevity and well fare of the populace.
 "The person whose expectancy of life is affected by his propensities and en- vironment is made to take notice. Whether 1t be alcohol or malaria, evil associates or hookworm. he is im- pressed with the fact that if he is not q good money investment, he must get busy and get good clean bill Of health or he isn't worth anything to himself, his family or hls community"

Letters to the Editor
Saloon or Dispensary

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: - The important questions at present agi- tating the public mind and developing such a diversity of opinion as to theif proper solution have probably resulted in the various experiments hitherto un- | tried.
 | We are to try the experiment of com mission government for Birmingham with the addition of a dispensary, all of which is new and experimental to Birming- | ham.
 As an humble citizen of Birmingham T have no special objection to the com
 mission experiment or the dispensary' but when the Parks bill, which Is now the law, Is brought forward 1t excites
 my disabilities, for there will never be an
 election ordered under the provisions of that law. It would be difficult to ob-
 tain the names to a petition of 45 per cent
 of the legal voters of a county. If every voter in that county was in favor or the sale of alcoholic stimulants one would object to the exsense of holding an cleo ton. another would object to an excit- ing canvass, and the consequent loss or
 time, etc. Then who will take 1t upon himself to procure the names to his pe- tition? It would seem that we have a legislature which although elected upon straight local option platform by large popular majority is now disposed to hedge and compromise with the Brooks Lawrence crowd.
 The people of Alabama decided for themselves to have local option in this state. but to hedge 1t about with imprac- tical and impossible conditions precedent to render the law impossible of execu- ton or If attempted of execution would end in failure, which would be set down as a victory for the present prohibition law This, 1t seems to me. would be ridiculous surrender of principle for which the voters of Alabama and democ-
 racy stands everywhere except in east
 Tennessee.
 But the waddists and experimentalsts
 must have their inning.
 I have but a common interest in the
 sale or prohibition of whisky. but as is
 the privilege and duty of every citizen
 I have well grounded opinions and the
 right to express them.

 viction that the only logical solution of

LULU IN THE STORM
 OF CITY POLITICS No New Developments in
 Matter Yesterday PETERSEN IS ACTIVE Mayor Exum's Vigorous Statement Read With Interest by Citizens
 Yesterday-No Statements
 Made Yesterday

The principles in the recent breezy stir in municipal circles had nothing to say yesterday regarding new developments. The vigorous statement made by Mayor Exum regarding the transactions which had been criticised by City Auditor Petersen was read with the greatest in terest.
 None of the citizens and officials con- nected directly or indirectly with the con trcversy had anything to say regarding the situation yesterday
 President Harry Jones of the City Coun- cil, who was agreed upon as one of the commissioners of the city of Birmingham said he did not have any statement to make at this time, as he could not con ceive of any blame being attached to him over the controversy. He said the bud get affair spoken of by Auditor Petersen would perhaps best come from the finance committee, which has that matter Ill hand at all times.
 That committe is now composed of Al dermen McDowel, chairman; M. J.. Gregg, Gibson, w. Barnes Morgan, simon I<lotz. Dan Hogan, Morris, Walter Met calf, Hawley, P. J. Rogers, Maben Hob- son, Copeland, G E. Morgan and Brett Brown.
 Former Mayor George B. Ward, who was mentioned in the formal communi- cation of Mayor Culpepper Exum, said it was none of his fight and that he would not manke ary statement
 City Clerk Horace Shropshire, Jr., who was mentioned in the charge of Auditor Petersen, will probably have something to say in the next day or two
 Mayor Culpepper F,xum was at home tho greater part of yesterday on Highland avenue. He received scores of phone messages and friends during the day. as suring him that his explanation was not lost upon the people of Birmingham. Mayor Exum last night in response to inquiries, said that he did not have any thing to add to what was said in. his for nal statement. He said his statement carried everything he knew about the hay transaction and the other alleged wrongs.

POTASH SYMPTOMS
 IN WESTERN LANDS

Washington, February 26-Portions of the arid sections of the western ter- ritory of the United States present con- ditions favorable to the discovery of large bodies of potash salts, compara- bIe even to those of Germany, accord ing to a bulletin which has just been issued by the geological survey. This information comes opportunely and It's value is emphasized by the pending con- troversy arising over the German sur tax law on potash which now Is the subject of diplomatic negotiation be- tween the United States and Germany. The latter country. 1t has been declar- ed, has a world monopoly on known de- poslts of potash and the United States Is her chief customer
 The geoogists of the survey express the belief that potash, whose principal value lies in its use as a fertilizer, will be found in large quantities in tho regions east of the Rocky Mountain wall and the great basin region. The survey already has considerable data on the subject and if Congress passes the pending appropriation for the pur- pose, the survey will continue the investigations with view to locating American potash salt deposits.
