DR. LUMSDEN TELLS WHY OUR 5000 DRY
 CLOSETS ARE CITY'S
 GREATEST MENACE
(Continued From Page Five)

liar diseases caused by improper sani- tatlon were entirely inexcusable be- cause they were so easily prevented
 "Of course, the. humanitarian req sons, the suffering and the loss of life wouN be sufficient ground for removing the conditions which cause these epidemics," he said But as a matter of fact, just cold business req sons demand 1t. Proper sanitation IS the best sort of investment This epi- demic and others which you have had have cost more than the prevention would have cost Birmingham has been injured by congregations and wild ru- mors regarding these epidemics That hurts business"
 pr. Lumsden stated that while the primary cause of the increase in the number of cases here this year was by infection from ice cream, the usual numper or cases each year were due to dry closets and to the use of spring and well water
 The primary source of all infec- ton goes back to these dry closests ana bad sanitary conditions, and even With your milk and cream supply ah solutely pure, unless you remove the real cause, you will continue to have your usual high typhoid rate" lie said
 Dr Lumsden declared that Birming- ham needed larger force in the health department. "The men you have are most efficient, but there is a limit to the work they can accomplish with out more help," he said

 Through the means of this centra, health committee these vital matters can be handled and the chairmen can report back to the several organiza. tions they represent" said Commits sioner Hornady. "In that way I think we can secure the hearty co-opera- tion of every force in the city for the improvement of health and sanitary conditions. consider that this cen tral committee offers the best means by Dr. Lumsden and to secure for

IN OUR OWN HANDS

Dr. Lumden's address in part follows:
 How much typhoid fever you shall have in Birmingham from now on rests entirely in your hands. No one else in the world can control this situation except the people of Birmingham them selves.
 The investigation we have conducted proves conclusively that the product of one ice cream manufacturer was respon- sible for the excess number of typhoid cases. It was found that the usual num- Der of typhoid cases here had been caused from the usual sources, and that fully 40 per cent of them had not been caused from ice cream.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-21

"At the present time the pro- duct of the manufacturer whose ice cream caused many of the cases Is as safe as Is that of any other manufacturer in the city, And the Ice cream made here now Is safer than it ever was in the history of the city. You can eat Ice cream in perfect safety.

Chicago, July 15.-Deep in the heart

memory of the days when with Chance

type Jimmy slammed out the home run
which beat the Robins in the ninth
inning by a score Of 8 to 4.
A timelier blow was never struck IN

Of the Chicago fans at least. One hand

Sallee May Be Giant

ST. Louis, July l5.-Leon kalamity
Ames, who is passing his declining
years as pitcher for the Cardinals,
was overcome by the heat and the
Giants here this afternoon. When
Leon finally submerged and sank in
the sixth inning the Giants had belted
him for five runs. which was more than
plenty, as Pol Perritt was in rare form
and shut out the Cardinals with five
hits.
The Giants, after subdung Ames.
permitted Lott, a young pitcher, to
acquire a reputation by handing them
three blanks. The final score there
fore was 3 to 0.
This was a hot day even for St.
Louis and the athletes were as limp Is
a dish rag before the game was half
over. 1t was Permits weather, how
ever. To-day he worked up profuse
perspiration and hurled the ball with
the speed and precision that he dis
played when he toiled for the Cardi-
nails.
The Cardinals did not get man to
when with two out Hornsby singled
and Wilson's easy fy dropped safely
behind second base. This scratch hit
put Hornsby on third, but he was left
there.
Perritt struck out only four men, but
issued no passes and hit no batsmen.
His control was perfect and the Cardi-
nails never seriously threatened him.
The Giants gave Perritt same artil-
lery support that made his task easy.
The right field fence was their favorite
target At one stage of the game they
had Chief Wilson in a state of exhaus-
ton from chasing their drives and
they were in danger of several heat
registrations as a result Of their vio-
lent exercise on the bases.
The Giants combed Ames and Lott
for eleven hits and five of then first
nine blows were for extra bases.

Both Hagen and Barnes, the tall
Briton, engaged in a thrilling duel for
the lead, with little Hoffner, game TO
the last, hanging on desperately, al
though the other two were consistently
outdriving him by anywhere from
twenty 10 forty yards. .,
Until the tenth hole had been played
it looked as though Barnes held the
title in the hollow of his hand. He
had reached the turn in 81, even with
par, while Hagen and Hoffner were
two strokes away. Then came the
fatal tenth. fatal for the Briton, that
is. for after placing his drive in deep

The Englishman got out on his second

the ball found the cup.

tied, but Burns drove over a run in
the fifth and scored Bush in the ninth
with a sacrifice fly after DOME had
singled and stole.
Nunamaker was hit on the arm by
Dauss in the third and he too was
added to the injured list, being forced
TO retire.
The merry jubilee will now rest until
Monday, when a double header will

the second game of the series from the
Newark Indians here this afternoon by
the score of to A. At all times the
locals had the game well in hand, and
only once did the visitors loom up
dangerously. This was in the sixth

run of tieing the score.
Manager Tenney, OF the visitors,
made his first appearance of the sea-
son when, in the ninth inning, he un-
d.1.ook to bat for Pieh. He struck
out. One of Newark's runs came in the
fourth inning, when Healey banged the
pill over the short left field fence. The
ball hit a telegraph pole in the street
and bounced back into the field, where
it was picked up in time to get Healey
at second The umpires, however, al
lowed him the homer.
