LETTER TO PASTORS
ON TUBERCULOSIS
Urges Churches to Take Part in
tuberculosis Day in Some Effective
Way Next Sunday

The Anti-Tuberculosis association has
given out a copy of the letter addressed
to the pastors of Birmingham, and with
1t a copy of the prayer of Professor
Rauschenbush for tuberculosis day.
These are given out in hopes that those
ministers whose names and addresses are
not on file with the Anti-Tuberculosis as
sociation may be led to participate in
observance of the annual day, next Sun
day, December 7. in some effective way
or during the week following.
DIR. Eaves will speak at the new Temple
Emanuel tonight and to the Brother
hood class of the First Presbyterian Sun
day school, Sunday morning, as a recog-
milton of tuberculosis day.
A leaflet showing the work of the asso-
citation will be distributed to the ladies'
seals committee to all the churches on
Sunday.
The letter to ministers is as follows:
MY Dear Brother:-Many things conf
pete for your attention, and special in
terests become irksome. possibly among
them our fight for better health.
Nevertheless l am asking you, On
behalf of the whole community, that you
Try to put into the minds of your people
these (5) facts, preferably on the national
tuberculosis day, next Sunday, Decem-
Der Z:
81. That 1t is great deal more than a
charity cause. 1t includes charity in
cdentally, but is concerned with the wip-
ing cut of the tuberculosis scourge.
''2. That this can be done, as is proved
by facts. In Europe and in America cer-
tain areas show that deaths have been
reduced by margin of 80 to so per cent.
49, That Alabama suffers severely, los
ing many of her brightest sons and
daughters. But here also the plague may
be stayed.
"a What is needed is for all the peo-
pie TO beth have and practice the teach
ings of hygienic and sanitary science, the
isolating of advanced cases, the fecogni-
ton of incipients.
% 10 reach this end we must care
for many in sanator!a and hospitals,
and we must care for all that can be
reached in their homes with trained visit
ing nurses.
1--WE need money-first to employ five
visiting nurses. second to care for few
incipient negro cases-but still more we
need multitude of intelligent and prayer
full friends We ask the prayers and
gifts of people who believe in God. Yours
most fraternally,

inspector Nesbitt Sends Out
Statement to Operators
Using Black Powder

State Mine Inspector C. H. Nesbitt yes
terday mailed letter or proclamation
ITO the coal operators In Alabama request
ling them to employ shot frers'' in the
mines. 1t will be the duty of these shot
hrers to fire all explosives in the mine
and at time when the mine is empty
of other employees. Chief Nesbitt pointed
Eout in his proclamation that In view of
the fact that great danger attends the
shooting of coal from the solid with black
powder. his department urged and rec
commended two precautionary measures,
(which he outlined.
His letter is as follows:
psTo All Coal Operators in Alabama Using
\ Black Powder for Shooting Coal:
sIn view of the fact that there is great
danger attending the shooting of coal
from the solid with black powder, and,
In order to throw a safeguard around the
aives of those directly exposed to this
danger, this department strongly recon-
lmends and urges with all possible force
the following precautionary measures to
secure greater safety for all concerned,
namely:
81. All mines generating gas and MAX
ing dust, which now use black powder
for shooting, to be required to put into
effect the powder jack system, and only
one days supply shall be carried into the
mine by the miner; also, that competent
shot firers be employed, their duty to be
TO fire all shots charged with black pow
der at given time after working hours,
when no other employees are in the mine
''2. All mines not generating gas nor
making dust, now using black powder, to
be required to install the powder jack sys-
tenn and to see that only one day s supply
Is carried into the mine by the miner
such mines, however, not to be required
to employ shot firers.
"An operators who can use permissible
instead of black powder are earnestly
requested TO discontinue the use of the
latter The Inauguration of the above
measures will necessitate comparatively
small expense to begin with, but in the
long run there will be large saving to
all operators. and the most important
part of all will be the conservation of hu-
man life; so important that President
Wilson in his first message to Congress,
although short message, did not over
Hook the human appeal for better facli-
ties In the mines to insure better protec-
tion of life. Yours very truly,

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Wants Longer Vacation

sro the Editor of The Age-Herald
II the superintendent of education and
the school commissioners OF Greater Bir-
min CHAM, desire to present to the school
children of this city a costless but price,
less Christmas gift. they have only to
proclaim that the Christmas holidays in
the schools shall be from Christmas eve
until Monday, the 9th of January.
AS now understood, the holidays will
be from Friday before Christmas until
Monday, the 18th. which will eliminate
She Christmas children's week ESQ long a
custom) and mar the little true pleasure
! they did have.
1t is the consensus of opinion of the
entire high school that the pupils would
rather give up even Christmas eve to
study IL they can have Christmas week
until after the first, rather than have
to return Monday, the 18th.
If the governors will stir up the old
memory box Of school days, they will
believe in the old adage that "all work
! and no play makes Jack a dull boy
| Let's be boy again and fill the hearts
| of young America to overflow with joy.
