It was his opinion that food specialties, such as grlts rolled oats, baking powders and ginger ales, bearing the AlG5ama. Grocery company brand would sell. In this he was backed by the directors. For it was believed that such d personnel as stood behind the Alabama Grocery com pany would be 6 guarantee of quality.
 This idea was so reasonable and pro- gressive that the time came when the manufacture of the food specialties was too great to be handled as a side issue So, in the spring of 1916. the Alabama Grocery company decided to withdraw from the wholesale grocery business and embarked in the manufacture of their special brands of foods
 Bunalo Rock" to Birmingham means as much as "coca-cola" does to Atlanta. The sales of this ginger ale. that has been manufactured by the Alabama Gro- cery company for over 10 years, have been remarkable, but the other food spe- cialties that are put outs have kept pace.
 For, numbered among the specialties are: Alabama Brand rolled oats, Ala bama Brand grits, Snowdrop baking pow der and Bisco self-rising flour.

 "The health offic-r comes with the government behind him. If he needs as- sistance the government gives it.

 After this federal health officer has been in the county for a year the work will have been systematized; others will have been trained lin the way the duties are conducted and there will then be no trouble about getting a permanent health officer outside the federal service who is thoroughly familiar with what has to be done.

ALABAMA GROCERY
 CO. A TIVE WIRE"
Now Devoted Entirely to Manufacturing Products
HOW FIRM STARTED
Some of the City's Most Prominent Men Have Been Associated in the Company From the
 Beginning

The Alabama Grocery company has re- tired from the wholesale grocvery busi- ness In this bare announcement, there turesque yet, in tracing the growth of the company from tits modest outset in 1892, there arise many incidents that form commercial history in Birmingham
 Maj. l.. NJ. Tutwiler, George B. Me- Cormack, ErslSine Ramsay, Henry L. Badham, Fred M. Jackson, w. R. Glenn and Sidney w. Lee are today recognized as remarkably prominent group of citizens. With them is associated the growth of Birmingham. And with them is related the development of the Ala bama Grocery company, for when the company was first incorporated they con- stituted the original board of directors and have been associated since the in- ception of the company.
 As Tive wire" the Alabama Grocery company has been long recognized. To say that it was a "self-starter' repre- sents in a way the progressiveness that has been characteristic of the company headed by Sidney w. Lee.
 4 spring dray would create no com- ment on the streets of Birmingham to- day. But when, in the nineties, the Ala bama Grocery company placed similar vehicle on operation it created sensa- tion, for it was the first spring dray" in the city.
 The first phonograph that was ever used in commercial circles in Birming- ham was employed by members of the company in 1895.
 The first automobile truck, used locally for quick handling of food commodities, bore the name of the firm. And the first salesman to travel over the city in an automobile represented the Ala bema Grocery company.
 At the head of a company that was first to see these advantages was Sidney w. Lee, and he foresaw another possibility

Condemns Resolution Passed MemOrializing Congress
 on Temperance Laws
'HOULD NOT MIX IN
 AFFAIRS OF STATE
ays That Such Action Is Diametrical- ly Opposed to the Tenets of Methodism = Many Reports
 Read in Selma Meeting

Selma, December 2-(SpeciaL)-An |ttempt on the part of the Rev. l.. E. Green to place the Methodist con Erenee on record politically in favor Of Fmperance, by having it pass measure |alling upon the representatives in Con- lress to work for nationwide temperance |nd prohibition, drew sharp strictures
 rom Bishop Denny at Saturday morn
 lg's session, and precipitated a lively Ifscussion.
 Criticising the resolution offered Bishop benny said:
 "A question of this sort has no place h a conference of this kind. If we are b meet as citizens we could pass this
 esolution, but we are not assembled as Etizens. When the church attempts to Interfere with the laws of the state they Ire approaching fast the slippery places, Ind nearing the ruin that has attended |ther churches in the past. It is one of he cardinal principals of the Methodist |hurch to keep clear and plain the line |f demarkation between the church and he state"
 In reply Rev. MT. Green said that he las afraid that the liquor interest would Ind in the bishops words some comfort Ind satisfaction, and that the newspa- |ers would use the matter in such way Is to give them an advantage in the fght being waged by them against pro- |ibition.
 Ir answer. the bishop rather tartly re- |lied that he had no time to consider That use would be made of any words of lis expressing his opinions and convic- Ion.
 PURPORT OF RESOLUTION The resolution recommended that the |hurch call on the senators and con- |ressmen to pass laws prohibiting the
