According to the treasury department
letter, DR.. Friedman told government
representatives who met him here upon
his arrival from Germany that it would
be useless for any one to make a study
of his culture unless instructed by him
from six to eight weeks as to its proper
manner of preparation and use"
Mr.. MacVeagh wrote that on account
of the Importance to humanity of an an
nouncement such as yours, which gives
promise that a means has been discov-
cred to combat tuberculosis, and because
of the great public interest that has
been aroused by dispatches in the press
he wished to arrange for a comprehen-
sive investigation. He quoted the federal
law, which makes 1t incumbent upon the
treasury department ito make an effort to
inquire into biological products propa-
gated for the cure of disease of man.

treatment would be subject to interstate
regulation.
after the necessary studies have been
conducted to determine the harmlessness
of inoculating human beings with your

mittance to hospitals of such cases of tu-
berculosis as apply and may be selected;
the treatment to be administered by you
under the observation of officers, to be
selected and such other experts as may
be associated with them.

ATKINS WOULD HELP
MOUNTAIN CHILDREN
Birmingham Man Offers to
Contribute to Funds to
Aid Those Neglected

Montgomery. March e.--fSpecial.)-
Commencing John H. Wallace, Jr., for
his address in behalf of the mountain
children of the south delivered before
the Seth Lowe party in Montgomery
February %, Alonzo Atkins of Bir-
mingham has written to the state game
and fish commissioner offering to give
$500 and 10 per cent OF his earnings
during his lifetime to a fund to care
for the neglected children.
Mr.. Wallace made the letter public
yesterday. Tt is only one of many that
have come to him during the past few
days and so many requests for copies
OF the address have been made that
several thousand copies have been
printed.
During the last five years l have
Travelled over 100000 miles in the
SOUTH" said Mr.. Atkins "I have been
in every county in Alabama, parts Of
Florida, Mississippi Tennessee and
Kentucky and I wish to state that the
conditions are just as you said in your
speech. AS I travelled through the
mountains of these states and saw the
uncared for children and the unedu-
Gated children and partly clothed chill
dren my heart would pain me when
looked upon them. 1t was a piteous
sight to me and have wished a thous-
and times that / was able to do just
what you advocate. l think a fund
should be raised for the purpose of
educating them and caring for them
and If there is fund raised I will
give $500 to start it and 10 per cent
of my earnings every year as long as
1 live
Il wish to say something about our
old ladies and old men. We have aims
houses, what we call county poor
houses: l have passed dozens of them
and saw the old people sitting there
waiting patiently for their Master to
call them; without a friend to visit
them, nobody to say kind word to
them and I think they should be cared
for more than they are. I think that
when the churches will look after our
poor instead of sending money to
China and Japan our country will be
better off. 1 believe we had better look
after our own people first and then
look after the heathens in the foreign
countries. because we have a lot of
heathens in this country
Commissioner Wallace has also re-
! ceived a letter from J. w. Dubose in
dorsing the address and commencing
Mr.. Wallace for delivering 1t.
