Turner yesterday, 'it was at financial sacrifice, but I believed there was an opportunity for some good constructive work. l took up the work with the understanding that I was to have free hand Then came the cut with its handicaps, and I have not been able to do as much as l hoped.
 As commissioner my ambition will be to put the police department on a real civil service basis. and remove it abso- lutely from politics--to let the men know that when they are doing good work they are not in constant danger of losing their jobs through some turn of the po- litical wheel
 The office is now pretty well sys- tematized, but l want it on sound business basis, and with the new budget think this can be accomplished. We want to put in the Bertillon system and photo Identification system. Then a lot of the crooks who now come to Birming- ham will steer clear of us.
 "I have insisted on the men not malS- ing useless arrests for minor offenses, but giving warnings and making them selves real guardians of the peace in- stead of self-constituted bosses. I believe as commissioner there is fine field for ex- tension of the work I have already be- gun"

Baby of Future
is Considered

Much thought has been given In late
years to the subject of maternity. In
the cities there are maternity hospitals
equipped with modern methods. But
most women prefer their own homes and
in the towns and villages must prefer
them. And since this is true we know
from the great many splendid letters
written on the subject that our Mothers
Friend is great help to expectant
mothers They write Of the wonderful
relief, how 1t seemed to allow the
muscles to expand without undue strain
and what a splendid influence it was on
the nervous system. Such helps as
Mothers Friend and the broader
knowledge of them should have helpful
influence upon babies of the future.
Science says that an infant derives its
sense and builds its character from
cutaneoIs impressions. And a tranquil
mother certainly will transmit more
healthful influence than if she is ex-
tremely nervous from undue pain. This
is what a host of women believe who
