 Commissioner George E. Ward called attention to the fact that hardware stores should get in a large stock of fly traps, as they were in large de- mand and only few could be had. MT. Ward attributes the spread of typhoid directly to flies with this statement:
 "A fly is an indifferent cuss and cold blooded murderer He takes his break fast in one part of the city, in some garbage can near dry closet and then has his luncheon in the best resi- dential section of the city. For his dn- ner he patronizes the restaurants or the fruit stands. In any case city is not benefited by his presence. his rambling ways and his peculiar choice of foods. am of the opinion that flies are responsi- ble for the present spread of typhoid fever and I urge that we should swat the fly Get rid of all of them and you get rid of disease.
 Commissioner of Health and Education Hornady was especially gratifed at the response of the public to the free vacci- nations in the council chamber of the city hall. Commissioner Hornady is directly responsible for this philanthropic health enterprise of the municipality, and while it is estimated Birmingham will spend from $5000 to $10,oO0 for free vaccina tions and other health reforms several times that sum will have been saved the citi- zens in medical fees.
 MONEY WELL SPENT
 "I consider the city money well spent in providing typhoid vaccinations for ev- eryone," said Commissioner Hornady. Tt could have been done years ago, but the public was not ready for It.
 Just look out in the street and see that terrific downpour of rain," said MT Hornady, pointing out of the window of his offices, "and then realize just what free typhoid vaccinations mean to the people of this city, when nearly 1000 adults and children have already visited the city hall to be inoculated. The council cham Der Is full of people awaiting vaccna- tion right now, and if we have fair weather tomorrow we will be taxed to our limit to take care of all who apply In all we expect to vaccinate between 5000 and 1000 people. We will vaccinate more than that if they apply. no matter what the cost to the city treasury.
 ''The typhoid vaccination has absolutely driven typhoid fever from the United States army It will do the same thing for Birmingham. Typhoid vaccination is absolutely painless. I was the first per son vaccinated on Wednesday morning and did not know it had happened until the doctor said it was all over. After being vaccinated your arm is a trifle sore for few hours, but a good hot bath and a physic will get you in good shape.
 .As for the method of vaccination at the city hall it is as sanitary as by the highest priced expert in the city of Bir- mingham or in the United States, for that matter. No one need remain away from the city hall because he will be vaccinated carelessly or by unsanitary needles. as there are some of the best physicians in the city in charge of the vaccination and all the time necessary is taken with each patient. All needles are sterilized and the serum used is from Parke & Davis, and known as the best procurable in the United States. In fact, the city authorities are attending to the vaccination of the people in thorough manner and we invite everybody to come
