ID ORGANIZE RIFLE CLUB OF JEFFERSON
 SATURDAY NIGHT
Dr. Grace Calls for Volun- teers for Home Guard. Not to Be Militia Or
 ganizatiOn

The permanent organization of the Jefferson Rifle club will be effected at a meeting Saturday night at o'clock liminary meeting was held last night at the auditorium of the chamber, at which Dr. Frank G. Grace presided and a tentative outline of the plans for the permanent organization was made.
 It is intended to form the Jefferson Rifle club. or home guard which will not be affiliated with the militia or the federal reserves. but which can respond at any time their services should be needed for the protection of life or property in Birmingham and vicinity and for the prevention of diss order.
 The movement to form a club, which was launched sometime ago by Lucien c. Brown. has met with wide favor on the part of large number of men who feel that they could not afford to belong to the militia and thus be subject to call into the regular army, but who feel the necessity for some organization in case of trouble at home. The federal government en- courages the formation of such organ izations as is proposed and co-operates to the extent of furnishing rifles and a supply of ammunition. No obligation devolves upon the members to go to war and the organization would be sub- ject to no rules or regulations save those which might be made by the members themselves.
 "We believe we will have the hearty cooperation of the public in this movement" said Dr. Grace last night Recent events in Alabama and the history of events in Birmingham and Jefferson county show that there is a necessity for some kind of organiza- tion which will respond for the preser- vation of order in times of stress Many men feel that for various reasons they cannot afford to join the militia and thus become subject to the call into the regular service, but they will be willing to join our rifle club. The or ganization will provide splendid sport for those who are interested in shoot ing. The friendly aid and assistance of the United States government will be received without any obligation on the part of the members. I think this Is a matter of grave importance to the peo- pie of Birmin gham and the hearty CO., operation of the public should be given"

TREATING TYPHOID

To the Editor of The Age Herald: With your permission and only that good may come from it, would I presume to ask you to print what follows: I am the oldest active practitioner in the state of Alabama. I have record of treatment of more than 400 cases of typhoid fever
 The last 20 adults were treated with 1-16 of grain of bichloride of mercury every two hours and all recovered. It will be wise in the present large number of cases of typhoid fever in the city to follow similar directions. Respectfully.

on Friday morning and where no clean ing has taken place arrests will follow.
 WILL FIND CAUSE
 We are going to locate the cause of the present spread of typhoid fever in a few days" said City Health Officer Dr. Cecil D. Gaston, in a statement to an Age-Herald reporter last night while re- viewing the situation. And there will follow a rapid demunition in the num- Der of typhoid fever cases in Birming ham.
 ''The people of Birmingham have real iZed the efforts of members of the board of health and the city commission to protect human life, regardless of the property loss and there will follow in this city 8 wave of preparedness for health which will put us second to none in the United States.
 Typhoid fever as it is existing in the present epidemic has been present m Birmingham during the past six years. However, the present instance is featured by a remarkable public awakening to the gravity of the situation, and the uselessness of an annual visitation of a preventable disease.
 Tn order to contract typhoid fever the germ of typhoid must be swallowed. The medium of conveyance to the human body from the root of origin is uncooked food stuffs in majority of instances. These uncooked foodstuffs are infected by flies or soiled hands which have been in con- tact with discarded human effete ma terial.
 MOST VICTIMS ARE CHILDREN
 ''In the present epidemic it is notable that the majority of victims are children of the better classes beneath the age of 15 years This would naturally lead us to believe that the medium of con- veyance in the present epidemic is of foodstuffs obtainable by these children, brought about by the indiscriminate use of nickels and dimes at their disposal.
 During the months in which typhoid fever is in abeyance the germ of typhoid must be harbored in some suitable soil. This can only be the human body. It is a fact, an undeniable fact, that there are persons who have had typhoid fever, but who still harbor the germs of typhoid. throwing them off each day in the most virulent form. while they themselves are enjoying good health. These persons are .xnown as typhoid carriers. And this is the medium in which the typhoid bacilli are housed between epidemics.
 ''The people of Birmingham can rest assured that every step is being taken, and that every stone is being turned to rid them of typhoid's presence And with their unselfish co-opei ation the proper authorities will soon stem the tide of the epidemic and institute health reforms which will banish forever this disease from their midst.'

 livers Address

The Confederate Veterans of Birming- ham still are talking of the Fourth of July rally held Tuesday afternoon at Clark & Jones' hall under the auspices of Camp Wilcox, and assert that the pro- gramme of addresses and patriotic songs was one of the best ever rendered in Bir- mingham.
 The attendance was unusually large, and the hall was entirely filled by the veterans and their guests. One of the especially attractive events on the pro- gramme was the singing of Miss Norma Scholar
 As each veteran and guest entered the hall he or she was given a miniature American flag The first number on the programme was My Country, Tis of Thee,' which the entire body joined in singing. pr. John s. Foster, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, asked divine blessing upon the gathering, following which Mrs. Strickland sang. Dr. Albert Sidney Johnson, pastor of the South Highlands Presbyterian church, delivered the address of the day, and Miss Norma Scholar entertained the veterans with her beautiful soprano voice.
 Judge N. B. Feagin was the next speak CT and a song by Mrs. Strickland fol- lowed.

 You see it is absolutely painless" said Dr. Gaston to his mixed audience. Thank you, MT. Hornady, it is all over"
 q don't even feel it. said MT. Hor- nady.
 You will tomorrow" chirped little girl from the crowd, and everyont laughed.
 Many of the city officials were vac- cinated, including Secretary Clarence Lloyd of the city commission. news paper man also tried 1t in order 10 verify MT. Hornady's statements as to the painless operation.
 The vaccinati were under the ac- tive supervision of City Health Orti- cer Dr. Gaston. He had as assistants pr. D. McCrossin, pr. w. c. Blake, pr. F. B. Sutton. Dr. E. T. Brown, pr. Farley and two trained nurses, Miss H. I. Shephard of St. Vincent's hospital and Miss E. M. Guilty Of the lnde- pendent Presbyterian church.
 The vaccine came in tiny brown bot ties containing 5000, 100000 bacteria and were "shot" into the patients with q carefully sterilized syringe needle. Ev- erything was done in highly sani- tary manner and persons were vac- cinated at the rate of from two to three a minute The vaccinations started promptly at o'clock yesterday morn ing and proceeded uninterruptedly un- til II o'clock when the doctors were given a rest of one hour. At 12 o'clock noon. the vaccination started again and stopped at 1850 o'clock in the aft ernoon through the lack of vaccine. In three hours and 50 minutes 500 adults and children had been vaccin- ated and about 500 more stood wait ing in the corridors for the preventive treatment.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION

Typhoid is a business proposition and among business men is the place to dis cuss it. Do you realize that each case averages a cost of $2O0, and in the past month Birmingham has spent, or will spend S40,0O0 because we have not pre- pared to prevent typhoid fever? Do you realize that for each human life lost, the cost is not less than $50? At that basis, do you realize that Birmingham wastes about s750,0O0 a year on typhoid?
 Public health is a purchasable com modity and the people of Birmingham are getting just as much relief from typhoid as they pay for, and we are now reaping the harvest of the lack of expenditure years ago.
 Your committee thinks that the Ro- tary club, as whole, cannot do more than to lend it's moral support to the authorities in getting rid of typhoid. We believe, however, that each individual ward preventing it. He can see that ev- cry part of his premises and his entire family, and his servants and employees are free of germs, and kept so.
 There is never an evil without good and I believe good will come of this cpl demic. I am sorry that we have typhoid fever here, but I believe it will rebound to the benefit of Birmingham and that we shall never have a recurrence of the disease, for preventative measures of a permanent nature will be adopted be- cause of the present suffering"
 DR. PARKE TALKS
 Dr. T. D. Parke, chairman of the board of health committee, next was introduced by Dr. Harris.
 ''We have got problem and we have got a great opportunity said Dr. Parke We have got an opportunity Of educat- ing the people as whole to get a view of their health condition. The people of this community ought to have enough sense to recognize that the community has righ to supply itself with the same health safeguards that corporations em- ploy. If a corporation in this town car afford to supply its employees with pub lie health service, why can't the people do the same? I appeal to you men to use your influence to the end that we have a unified and workable health system Two per cent of the income of the city will give us efficient health service. Shal we have it or shall we remain in the category of backward cities?"
 TYPHOID NOT UNUSUAL
 Commissioner J. R. Hornady, who wal the next speaker, presented figures tt show that typhoid in numerous case, was not unusual in Birmingham.
 "In 1910, there were 466 cases of typhoid fever in Birmingham" he declared. "Ir 1911, we had 512 cases here; in 1912 there were 494; in 1913 the number was 2SS; ii 1o11 total of 432 cases were reported
