to continue on the interstate commerce
commission. Some time ago President
Wilson was DESTROYS that Mr.. Prouty
should retain his position on the COM
mission and thus assure for the work
of that important organization the bene-
fit of experience gained by capable
official; and certain it was, too, if Mr..
Prouty could not be prevailed upon to
keep that position that President vii.
sons desire was that his services be
retained in the very important field of
reaching fair valuation of the railroads

clearly recognized, and it is to be hoped
that Mr.. Prouty can be induced to accede
to the pressure being brought to bear

CITY WILL BEGIN
 HEALTH CAME PA|GN
Dr. Cunningham Is to Begin Issuance of Weekly
 Health Bulletins

The dry closet menace in Birmingham
 is doomed The starting announcement was made yesterday by City Commission er James Weatherly and City Health Of fieer Dr. R. NJ. Cunningham that of tfe 90oo or lo,oOO dry closets in Birming- ham year or IS months ago. today there aie but about half that many.
 A steady, persistent and determined war on the dry closet has been waged by the city health department and other city of fcials for the past two years. A strin- gent law compelling citizens to install sanitary sewer connections wherever there is a sanitary sewer has been en- forced in spite of strenuous protests from many quarters as the installation of san itary connections in a residence costs anywhere from $50 to s200 or $500 for every pr operty holder The commissioners and the health officers havt stuck to their guns, however. and the dry closets of Birmingham which sometime ago were deeply deplored in an article in a we'll known sociological magazine are going Incidentally. Dr. Cunningham, who but recently has been inaugurated city health NiitNNAf St"hNb idSl iilSnA liidl Miln the co-operation of the daily press he intends to issue weekly Health Talks on diff forent subjects, beginning with next week. Dr. Cunningham believes that many of the bad sanitary conditions of the city exist purely from lack of knowledge on the part of citizens as to what is proper and he plans to conduct an educa- ton campaign which .e believes will work wonders
 Tn these little weekly bulletins from tne health department, said pr. Gun nnngham last night ''I want to tell the people of different things they must do and must not do to keep down disease and restilence. They will be very short and will be free of technical terms I want to Keep my finger on the pulse of Bir- Eingham' in reality and thereby keep in touch with her physical condition and through these weekly bulletins I believe can arouse new public interest in san itation and health.
 We are waging an aggressive war on the dry closets. Of course we can't conn pei a man to put in sanitary connections where there are no sewers but as fast as the city can build new sewers we in slst on the abolishment or the dry closet On account of the expense up until a snort time ago there were many prop critics which had access to sanitary sew CTS which still had not connections with them but the city has got after these people so hard that there are very few left.
 With the elimination of the dry closet in Birmingham one of the greatest health menaces in the city will be gone"
 Since Dr. CunninghS-n mas had charge or the health department he has been very active and although he has so far said little, there are indications of some DIE results from his work this sum- mer Aggressive campaigns against the house ny, mosquito ana similar health enemies are to be conducted
