Some Early Landmark.

Some Early Landmarks
 "In passing along Sixth avenue have noticed that two of the older
 houses of Birmingham are being moved by the roller man." said pioneer cit
 izen.
 "The house owned by Mrs. J. T.
 Nixon, which was at one time occupied
 by her and which stood at the north east corner of Sixth avenue and Twen- ty- first street, has been turned around so as to face Twenty-first street in stead of the avenue, and the Enslen home, which stands at the northwest corner of Twenty first street and Sixth avenue, having been purchased by Mrs. Nixon is being moved to the northeast corner on the site just vacated. When Mrs Nixon lived In her house at the northeast corner she had few board CTS, one or two being today among the
 foremost citizens of Birmingham.
 When Major Tutwiler bought the
 property on Twenty-first between Park
 avenue and Sixth avenue, including the
 E'nslen home, for the purpose of erect ing a handsome apartment building, he sold the Enslen building to Mrs Nixon to be moved from the site during this
 month There are some large trees on Twenty first street which shade the old Enslen property and they are too val | uable to be cut down. In order to save l the trees Major Tutwiler sold the wood en structure on condition that If 1t were to be moved intact off its site | i. would have to take a roundabout r> al, xx-ho ie af work on it. will roll it backward to Park avenue. roll it into Twenty first street, roll 1t down Twenty-frst to
 near Sixth avenue and then roll it over sidewise on the site 1t will presently occupy
 Mrs. Nixon's property fronts 100 feet on the avenue and is enhancing in value every year. l predict that in the
 course of five or six years the wooden buildings will be taken down and that a towering structure of some kind will go up on that corner.'

LANE BRYANT'S OPENING
Nine Stories Devoted to Making
and Sale of Women's Wear.

The visitor TO the new Lane Bryant
Building, at No % West 3sth street is at
once impressed by a rare combination Of
taste and stability which pervades the
place and all that II contains From the
simple classic exterior OF light brick with
limestone trimmings one gains fair Idea
OF what is to follow.
The house consists of nine stories and is
devoted entirely TO the making and SELL
irg Of womens apparel. There is nothing
pretentious about the establishment. All
the value offered TO the customer IS put
into goods Every garment is made upon
the premises and sold directly TO the
wearer. No extra profits are tackled on
to increase the price CT purchase.
All provisions for the welfare and COM
fort of employees are considered with care
so as to obtain the very best attention of
every worker. A large assortment Of
dresses, suits, waists, coats, negligees.
petticoats and corsets is always displayed
for convenient choosing, yet the models
are made at the same price to individual
measurements. Numerous fitting rooms
facilitate the making Of alterations, free
Of charge on all models ready to wear.
On ascending 10 the second floor one
finds an even greater exhibition of the
more elaborate models, with compartments
and hitting rooms. In addition there is an
evening room. where dresses to be worn
at night are tried on to get the full effect.
The display Of tea gowns is particularly
interesting, while the models for young

WARNING.
The milk sold in this store is n; for cook
ing purposes only.
Grade &.
Displayed by order Of the Board OF Hea'th.
WARNING.

These placards were hung in conSpicu-
ous ulaces in all stores where Grade c,
or cooking. milk was being offered for
sale. The Health Commissioner had
given notice some time ago that ne IN
tended carrying out such programme
Many Of the dealers, however, believed II
was an idle threat on the part OF the De
partment Of Health to make them sell q
better grade Of milk.
Threats to tear the signs down when
they were put up elected the information
from the inspectors that if the dealers at
tempted any such performance their mix
selling licenses would be revoked and they
would be unable 10 get another one.
Although they have been selling Grade
c milk for some time, it was not gener-
ally announced by the dealers. Now IT Is
ND TO the citizen himself if he cares TO
drink raw milk that is fit for cooking pur-
poses only. He Is warned by the Depart
ment of Health what he is buying and ac-
cents any responsibility that may result
from his use of il In other ways than Is
prescribed by the health authorities. In
explaining the system of placarding the
stores Commissioner Lederle said:
1T will not longer be possible for the
dishonest dealer TO market the lowest
grade Of milk under false representations
or TO sell cooking milk for infants. Those
dealing in the cooking grade Of milk will
have TO sell the same as such OF go out
of business"
Commissioner Lederle said the small
store problem in this city was big one.
He declared many such stores handle
milk only because 1t was d convenience
TO their customers and not that they made
any profit out of 1t. There are about
twenty thousand such places, and in a
great many Of them there is no incentive
to the proper care of milk.
The time is coming, the Commissioner
said when 1t will be necessary for milk
stores to take the place Of the ordinary
stores in the sale Of that commodity.
Persons who have contemplated running
milk stores and many who do raise the
plant that so long as the small store
completes there is no incentive TO conduct
milk stores.
Because of the fact that eight hundred
thousand or more quarts of milk measur-
ing up TO Grade G come into the city every
day the Board of Health has permitted
the sale of it in retail stores for cooking
purposes, hut many dealers had not in
formed their customers Of the facts.
