FEVER SITUATION
 VERY FAVORABLE Dr. Gaston Expects New Cases to Cease Entirely
 Within Few Days

It was announced at the health de- partment yesterday that five addi- tional cases of typhoid fever had been reported and that the situation was regarded as very favorable.
 City Health Officer pr. Cecil D. Cas- ton stated that the typhoid situation was in the best shape possible and that within few days the reports of cases would cease altogether.
 "Only five cases of typhoid fever today" said Dr. Gaston yesterday. "and by the end of the week I expect a day to pass without a single case.
 At the same time I want to implore the people to get vaccinated. There are still thousands of persons in Bir- mingham who should be vaccinated and these should come forward be- fore we decide to close up the free vaccination bureau. Remember, ty- phoid vaccination makes one pracri- cally immune to this disease and that is the only way in which to be pro- tected against typhoid"
 No cases of infantile paralysis were reported at the health department yes- terday.

quires applicants for positions to stand a physical examination. Birmingham should be first in everything leading to sanitation and health. These two lead to prosperity ana wealth.
 MT. Bush introduced pr. F. E. liar rington of the government public health service as the first speaker. Dr. Har- rington has been working in Tuscaloosa county in the furtherance of the cam paign of disease prevention which the Druid City and Tuscaloosa county have been conducting, and he spoke on the prevention of the spread of typhoid and other diseases. Dr. Harrington pointed out that typhoid could be forever elim- mated by the prevention of the spread of this matter from the bodies of dis eased persons.
 We must take into our bodies through the mouth some of the eruptions of ty- phoid that have been expelled by a ty- phoid patient before we can contract the disease" he said. 'The prescription we offer against typhoid also will prevent all other forms of diseases which have their being in the intestines, and that prescription is the prevention of the spread of the germs which adhere to matter expelled from the body of a dis eased individual.
 You may build a mile of sewers along d TeSlueIlldl street. but 1T a lew houses along that street are permitted to con- tinue the use of the dry closet the money spent in constructing the sewer might better have been used elsewhere. The germs from the few dry closets will spread to the nearby houses and the fact that theze other houses have no dry closets will not protect them from the homes that are using them. The prescrip- ton we offer-the absolute elimination of the dry closet-wll prevent the disea ses of infants in their first and second sum- mers. If we could keep the eruptions from typhoid patients from spreading we could forever eliminate the disease.
 THE DEADLY PARALLEL
 Did you know that almost as many people die in Birmingham from typhoid in ratio of proportion to the number of sick as die in New York from infantile paralysis? In 1910 the public health serv- ice in gathering statistics of the world found that in India, the home of the plague, they had less plague in 1910 than this country had of typhoid. Yet we take typhoid as a matter of course. When the plague visited New Orleans recently we threw up our hands in hor- TOT of fear and spent millions of dol lars in stopping it. Typhoid is just as

TIES NOT THE ONE"
 SAYS LITTLE GIRL
Eighty ear-Old Child Calm ly Looks Over Accused
 Negro, Who Is Released

Will Nathan Goodman, a negro, who was taken from a freight train by the marshal at Mountain Creek and brought to Birmingham yesterday by Deputies McDuff Reeves and McAdory failed to fill the description of the negro who attacked little Nancy Baird near Elmwood cemetery Sunday be- fore last. The negro was carried be- fore the child late yesterday afternoon for Identification. He was later re- leased.
 Although only eight years old, Nancy Baird has a clear conception in her mind of how the negro who dragged choked her into inconsistencies, looked. More than a dozen negroes have been carried before her by depu- ties and police officers, but the child has been positive that none was the right one.
 When the deputies arrived with the negro yesterday, little Nancy was play ing at the rear of the house with d smaller child AS soon as she saw who was coming, she ran to the front as if eager to see and identify her assailant, but stopped when rhe saw the big negro climb out of the car "Where'd you get that one?" she asked The negro was brought closer to her. and made to turn and move in all posi- tions. while the child looked him over with a critical eye and as calmly as person of several times her age Nose too flat" she said. "The other negro had a nose that turned up at the end. and had sink behind the knob. His face Is not fat huff. The other one did not have any beard or mustache. His shoulders, too stopped; other one was straight, but they are about he same size. No, he's not tho one"
 The child was positive and the off cers did not question her Judgment She is positive that she will recognize the negro the minute she sees him, and she has convinced the officers that she will. Her calmness and posi- tiveness is remarkable for child of her age.
 The negro said he was working on farm and had never been north or Mountain Creek before. He said he en- joyed the automobile ride as it was the first car he was ever in.

Defends Morris Avenue
o the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Herald:
 Having been made exceedingly weary by the false and absurd charges of various women at various times as to sanitary conditions existing on Nor ris avenue, want to say that the ave- nue is like charity, in that it sufforeth long and is kind
 Morris avenue never gets too dirty for these same fastidious ladies to visit when they want contributions of fruit and produce and money for church dinners and other affairs, be- cause long experience has taught then, that the splendid set of men who are the merchants of Morris avenue all ways contribute liberally to every good cause.
 Common sense tells you that it is im- possible to keep the wholesale district constantly swept and garnished as is the shopping district, because of the different character of the business. but everybody who knows anything about it knows that Morris avenue is cleaned every day If anyone doubts this, they are refarred to the author ities at the city hall
 It is the height of absurdity for any one to make the statement that filth idS dCSuuiuidtCu tucTe TOT years.
 It's dollars to doughnuts that the lady who has been "seeing things" or Morris avenue was down there on a begging expedition in the first place, Own up. sister. honest confession is good for the soul.
 Morris avenue has never made any reply to these charges because its at- titude has been like that of the lear old gentleman whose wife was busy body and an inveterate scold. On one occasion when her remarks were espe- cially uncalled for and vitriolic a neighbor protested. If I were you" he said to the old man. 'I wouldn't let her talk to me that way"
 Well" said the old gentleman, with large and kindly tolerance. its a heap of satisfaction to her and 1t don't hurt me any

The resolu- tions were offered by Phares Coleman, chairman of the health committee of the Chamber of Commerce, following ad- dresses by several prominent health workers of the state. They were passed unanimously, and are as follow:
 Realizing the vital importance to the city of Birmingham of the recent undertaking organized by the citi- zens sanitation committee looking to making Birmingham sanitary city in 60 days, and for all time to come,
 Be 1t resolved by the citizens of Birmingham in mass meeting assem- bled, That every man. woman and child in this city is called upon and urged to actively cooperate and aid in every way possible in bringing about sanitary and healthy condition III our GUY anu tic SiilOl Ol Iho health ordinances.
 Be it further resolved, That the commissioners of the city of Birming- ham and the board of revenue of Jeff ferson county be requested to cooper ate and furnish financial means by which there can be established a full, complete, adequate and well organized public health system, so as to bring about that high degree of efficiency that will enable this city to be made clean, healthy sanitary and free from contaminating diseases.
 Dr. Scale Harris introduced to the gathering Morris Bush, president of the Chamber of Commerce, who presided al the meeting and presented the speakers
 MODERN SANITATION
 MT. Bush said that preparedness comes only under compulsion and that Birming- hams efforts towards preparedness were the result of compulsion. ''The keynote of modern sanitation is the prevention o1 disease" said he. Birmingham cannot be developed by men who have beer wrecked by disease. It has gotton to the point that only the perfect are given em ployment in many places, and 1 know o one corporation in Birmingham that re

Yesterday was pay day with the city employees. When their checks were is- sued the majority of them went to the city comptroller's office and paid their street tax.
 When the detectives reported for duty at o'clock yesterday morning. Detective A. Wade lined them up and marched them to the comptroller's office. The po- licemen are also paying their tax rapidly.
 ''The detective and police departments realize the stringent financial condition of the city and are always ready to render any service to help out the city fathers" said Detective Wade. "A ma jority of the citizens of Birmingham think that because we are city employees that we are exempted from the street tax. If we were. the two apartments would willingly pay the tax at the presen. time

JUDGE RESERVES DECISION IN SUIT
 ID RECOVER FINE
City Sued for Refund of Fine Collected for Failure to Have Liquor
 Inspected

The case of James Watkins, who Is sueing the city of Birmingham for the recovery of a s25 fine paid in the re- corder's court on a charge of violating city ordinance 345-C, was argued be- fore Judge Thomas R. Lea in the third division of the municipal court yester- day afternoon. Watkins was arrested for violating the city ordinance pro- viding for the inspection of liquor and the payment of the special 50 cents tax. When arraigned in the recorders court he pleaded guilty and was fined s25.
 The suit is filed on the grounds that, since the inspection ordinance, was de- clared void and unconstitutional by the supreme court of Alabama, the fine was illegally imposed, and that the plaintiff
 was due to recover the fine.
 The case was argued for the plaintiff
 by Edgar Allen. while the city was
 represented by Assistant Attorney Sad-
 Ter. Several authorities were cited by
 both sides and Judge Lea reserved his
 decision until Saturday in order to have
 time to look them up. He announced that he would be prepared to render a
 decision by Saturday.
 Considerable importance is attached to the outcome of this case, as there are a number of fines that have been paid for violating the inspection ordi- nance This is the first case, and prob ably will be used as an example for others. In case the decision for re- covery is made, there probably will be | a number of similar suits filed, and the | city would have to refund a consid- erable sum of money collected from these fines.
 While the plaintiff contends that he
 has sufficient grounds for recovery,
 the ordinance being declared void, there are many examples of similar cases cited where the decision of the courts in such instances were upheld. In very few instances, according to authorities. have the sentences in cases of this na- ture been recovered as the courts arc generally upheld in their action, in what was considered a law at the time of the trial
 The case. yesterday afternoon drew considerable crowds to the courtroom on account of its nature. number of lawyers were present to hear the evil dence and arguments of the attorneys conducting the case.
