FOOD INSPECTION

Mrs M. HA Willis the food inspector, stated that she also found very little opposition to her inspections among res- taurants and believed that newspaper publicity had much to do with stopping iHcipient protests against health regula- tions.
 T am finding very little trouble in my food inspections" said Mrs. Willis. ''and that is due in part to the campaign of publicity waged by the newspapers on the present typhoid situation. It is re- garded as very unpopular to be de- cared insanitary at the present time among restaurants, soft drink places. and fruit stands as nearby competitors are certain to take advantage of the disgrace full facts.
 "On the whole. the food laws of the city are being vigorously enforced and as violators have been warned time and time again arrests will follow within the next few days. Of course, there are al- ways few who will persist in avoiding what is best for them, and of these we must make an example"

 STEADY AVERAGE City Will Begin Free Vac cination at Once WARNING IS ISSUED Many Children Get Infection by Bath ing in Insanitary Brooks and
 Ponds Near the
 City

Between 50 and 60 additional cases of typhoid fever have been reported to the health department since last Saturday at noon.
 The average of 25 to 30 new cases daily is being maintained, according to Chief Sanitary Inspector w. c. Burson
 Scores of persons applied to Commis- sioner of Health and Education John R. Hornady yesterday for free vaccinations against typhoid. As the serum has not yet arrived from the laboratories at De- troit, MT. Hornady requested all the vaccination applications to return this afternoon or tomorrow morning, as the vaccine is expected to have arrived by that time
 The council chamber of the city hall has been prepared as the room for the free vaccination. A competent corps of physicians will be in charge of this work, which will be conducted under the su- pervison of Commissioner Hornady.
 These vaccinations will cost the city about 21 cents each, and will be given to all who apply, although those who have the means to be treated by their family doctors are requested to do so and thus make room for persons less fortunate at the hands of the city. However, all who apply and insist on it for various reasons will be vaccinated free by the

INSPECTORS MEET
 FEW OBJECTIONS All Handlers of Food h. formed Regarding Law TO MAKE A RRES T $ Burson Says Law Regarding Garbage Cans Is to Be Rigidly
 Enforced in Every
 Household
TO MAKE ARRESTS

Chief Sanitary Inspector w. c. Burson, and Mrs. M. H. Willis, the food inspector. are finding very little opposition to the enforcement of the sanitary regulations Of the city among the restaurants of the district.
 It was stated by MT. Burson that the restaurants, fruit stands and soda foun- tains were being warned to obey the health regulations at the present time and that all violators of the law after Wednesday would be arrested and subject to fines and imprisonment upon trial in the recorders court.
 The inspection work as conducted by both MT. Burson and Mrs Willis is to visit all restaurants, soft drink stands and fruit stands and see that they are taking proper precautions against flies, that the food and fruits are covered up and that the plumbing is in a sanitary condition. If the law is not being com piled with the owner is notified to make certain repairs in compliance with the city regulations. If after a reasonable time these repairs are not made an order of arrest follows.

ASK FOR TREATMENT


 Many persons who called at the city hall to be vaccinated yesterday stated that doctors were taking advantage of the present situation to overcharge. One former prominent city official informed Commissioner Hornady that his doctor had calmly asked for s45 to vaccinate his three small children
 "Of course, I do not know whether there have been overcharges for vaccina tions," said Commissioner Hornady, land will not discuss that particular phase former prominent city official informed me this morning that his doctor had asked for $45 to vaccinate his three small chil- dren. As I am no physician I do not know whether such a fee is reasonable or unreasonable.
 But this I do know, that it will cost the city authorities about 21 cents for each vaccination, and that includes the cost of the time of the doctor in our em- ploy These facts as well as the vaccina- tions are given gratis to the public for | their own good
 ! Commissioner Hornady yesterday as- serted that the machinery had been started to secure the Services of a United States typhoid expert to come to Birming- ham and find out the causes of the pres ent spread of the fever. q have no desire to make any prena- ture announcements, said Commissioner Hornady," but if the services of United States expert can be secured by the city of Birmingham we will get one. It is my belief as we have already started the necessary machinery to get one that if one is available he will be in Birmingham by the latter part of the week.. WARNINGS ARE ISSUED Commissioner Hornady then plunged into warnings on what he now thinks has had much to do with the typhoid situa- ton. This is the promiscuous bathing of children in brooks and creeks and ponds which have sewers as tributaries and are thus insanitary.
 insanitary waters are not harmful to the skin, but in diving or playing about in the water girls and boys are bound to get some water in their noses or swallow some and thus become infected. We have found upon investigation that typhoid comes from bathing in these places and the public is now warned against them Specific warnings will be posted where we can do so lawfully
 President George B. Ward of the city commission also gave it as his opinion that bathing in nearby lakes and brooks had much to do with the spread of ty- phoid
 "These lakes are all insanitary," said Mr. Ward, land the public is warned against bathing in them if they wish to avoid typhoid fever
 There will be a holiday of all city employees today except those of the health department The typhoid situation is such at the present tune that inspectors are working practically night and day.

ALL HAVE BEEN WARNED

It is now stated that every restaurant fruit stand and soft drink place in the city has been warned to obey the health regulations and reasonable delay having elapsed since the warnings the entire police department will be ordered to make arrests of all violators within the next day or two. The local typhoid sitution is such at the present time that the city au- thorities are not going to temporize with any of the violators of the health laws of Birmingham.
 Chief Burson also stated yesterday that the law requires every home in Birming- ham to have a garbage can. Beginning today the entire police department will be ordered to visit all homes and upon find ing no garbage can will warn the occu- pant of the house to purchase one at once. On the next visit of the police or sanitary inspectors arrests will follow if a garbage can has not been purchased.
 These garbage cans must be kept cov- cred and protected from flies. They must also be cleaned and kept in such places as are convenient to the garbage collec- tors of the city. This is one of the city health laws that will be rigidly enforced, aCcOrdiDe to Chief RurSon
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-04
FIND LITTLE OPPOSITION


 We are finding very little opposition to the rigid enforcement of the health laws of the city, said Chief Sanitary Inspec- tor w. c. Burson yesterday. Tt appears that the public is either thoroughly alarmed at the continued spread of ty- phoid fever, or that they are awakened by civic pride to clean up and be healthy. Anyway. whatever the motive opposition to the sanitary regulations has been re- duced to a minimum in the past week.
 Fortunately, the great publicity given the typhoid situation and the filthy con- ditons existing in the city have had great weight in subduing opposition on the part of restaurants, soda fountains and fruit stands to making the neces- sary repairs in compliance with the laws Of the city Publicity is the weapon that forced many needed changes in the past few days and sanitary inspectors are cheering the newspapers for what they have accomplished in awakening the pub lie and storekeepers to the insanitary conditions that existed at the time of the present outbreak of typhoid fever.
 AS to the duties of sanitary inspectors. they are chiefly to look after the plumb ing, cleanliness of the establishment the covering of foods, seeing that the re- frigerators are cleaned, testing the wa ter, looking after the water closets and seeing that walls separate closets from places where foods or drinks are to be served.
 ''In all these inspestors at previous times there was some opposition and nu- merous complaints to the city commis- sioners of activities of sanitary inspec- tors. Now with the newspapers co-operat- ing there is little trouble to be found and the laws are being enforced. We will start making arrests of all violators be- ginning on Wednesday.
 MUST HAVE GARBAGE CANS
 With about 50 additional cases of ty- phoid registered with the health depart ment since last Saturday morning we have also decided to demand that all householders have garbage cans. Of course, many of the homes in Birmingham have garbage cans and maintain them in sanitary condition, but there are ath- CTS, and hundreds of them, who do not. They are now warned that the entire police department and sanitary depart ment are on thejob and unless gar bage cans are purchased immediately ar rests will follow. These will not be joke arrests but will be pushed to the courts and stiff fines will be imposed for all violations. The typhoid situation Is such il, the matter of violations of the sanitary laws of the city.
 The law of the city is that every home should be provided with garbage can. This can should be kept cleaned and covered up, and placed conveniently for the garbage collector of the city. This is a very fair law and there is no reason why it should not be vigorously enforced. The public is warned that it will be from now on"
