RHEUMATISM ARRESTED

Many people suffer with lame muscles
and stiffened joints because blood
impurities have invaded the system
and caused rheumatism.
To arrest rheumatism it is quite as
important to improve your general
health as to purify your blood, and the
cod liver oil in SCOTS Emulsion is
natures great blood-maker, while its
medicinal nourishment strengthens the
organs to expel the impurities and
upbuild your strength. Try it.

SIX KILLED IN HALE '= . BY RECENT TORNADO
Rosemary Man Writes That 2 Houses Were Blown
 Away In That Section

Information from Rosemary, Ala, in Hale county received in Birmingham yes- terday is to the effect that the total dead in the Greensboro section from the recent tornado was six.
 One was killed at whitset, four on the State Place." and one on the Allen place. all within radius of eight miles from Rosemary. A citizen of Rosemary writing the facts to The Age-Herald, asks that his name not be used as he does not like publicity. He says:
 From my point of view your write-up asking for help would cause the public to think that we weren't in any need or had suffered, when it looks like we are about the hardest hit of any section. There were ever 25 houses blown away within eight miles of Rosemary. True. all were occupied by negroes, but they didn't have a thing left However, we have locally taken care of their needs. and they are in fair shape, considering what they have suffered.
 Two of my neighbors and myself gath cred up the injured on the 'tState Place. as soon as the storm passed, and have, five of the injured on our place, and am caring for them each day, so that [ feel that I am in position to know the real facts''

PHYSICIANS INDORSE JOINT CONFERENCE ON
 HEALTH SITUATION
Commissioner Hornady States Friction Could Have Been Avoided in Beginning by Frank Discussion and That Situation Can Be Met Novelty and Board
 of Health Willing and Await the De-
 cson of Board of Revenue

The idea of clarifying the health sit uation by a joint conference of the city commission, board of revenue ana committee of health would be "in or der" Dr. Cabot Lull, president of the Jefferson County Medical society, be- lieves that there Is merit in the sug- gestion that the three bodies should "get together to see if a common ground might not be found to work upon.
 But If the plan involves dropping all litigation it is doubtful whether the appeal to the supreme court in the case of Van Hayes vs. Dr. F. E. liar rington could be withdrawn. It is pointed out that the status of several other county health officers in other counties in the state would be af- fected if the ruling is upheld, inas- much as the health officers of Wal ker and Tuscaloosa counties were not residents of the state and not quali- fled electors.
 The city has admitted its willingness Cecil D. Gaston was busted as city health OII1Cer,
 While it would seem that the com mission and the committee of health is willing to enter into a conference, the attitude of the board of revenue is not known. The members have been silent on the situation and seem re- luctant to express themselves.
 T think that it would be sensible for the three bodies-the commission, board of revenue and committee -sof health-to confer about the matter" said Dr. Cabot Lull last night. q agree with MT. Ward that when the public health is involved common sense should prevail
 "The medical society has adopted d resolution that there be no further discussion of the health situation in the society meetings, but I am sure that the physicians of Birmingham will

prove themselves as willing and pa trfotic as any other group of men. I believe that should conference be
 held there would be found some com mon ground to proceed upon"
 John R. Hornady. commissioner of
 health and education, stated that he felt "all the friction that has devel- oped could have been avoided had | those concerned gotten together in the beginning and discussed the subject
 fully and frankly" and that there is no reason why this could not be done now"
 His formal statement, indorsing the proposal, follows:
 No one is more anxious than am to have the health muddle strengthened out said Commissioner Hornady, land am perfectly willing to join with the committee of health in wiping the slate ana making a fresh start I feel sure that all of the friction that has developed could have been avoided had those con- cerned gotten together in the beginning and discussed the subject fully and frankly, and there Is no reason why this should not be done now, since the courts have held both the city and the medical society to be attempting something in contravention of the law.
 As far as the city Is concerned, it
 has shown no disposition to fail in the discharge of it's duty to the public in
 the matter of health conservation. On the contrary, it has appropriated a largely
 increa sed sum for health purposes and
 is doing all that it can do to improve conditions It has appropriated the
 salary to pay a health officer, has pro- vided the machinery for doing the health
 work, and all it asks is for the medical
 society to provide a properly qualified city health officer. Tn the meantime, it Is mistake to assume that the city is
 in waiting attitude. As matter of
 fact. it is doing more for the protection of the public health than was ever done before, and there has been no let uI
 In the work. However, it Is highly im2 portant for us to have city health officer permanently on the job and | hope that Mir. Wards suggestion will
 meet with approval and that all con- cerned will get together with a view to removing existing differences,

MOVIE MEN TELL
 SECRETS OF TRADE
Rent of Picture Films Have Scared Skyward, Is State
 ment Before Commission

The movie men of Birmingham barred the secrets of the trade to the commis- sion yesterday afternoon when they con ferred with the city fathers. For instance, they admitted that the daily rent on a moving picture film scared as high as $100 a day. The film manufacturers are craving
 more and more and consequently, there is not as mu ! money being made by the exhibitors as there was year ago. Why Charley Chaplin and Dug Fairbanks
 might get half-milllon each was easily explained. The advent of the Sunday ! movies has killed" the two big days of yore-Saturday and Monday. But, accord ing to the exhibitors, some would have to go out of business if they were denied the privilege of advancing the price of ad- mission.
 Arlie Barber, after praising the movies by naming them 'the greatest institution in the world" stated that he had heard many complaints about the exhibitors boosting the price of their shows. We can't afford to give shows that cost us double the ordinary rental and not advance the admission price," said Will Mudd
 You remember, Mr. Barber, when we were discussing this matter before," in- tcrposed George B. Ward, T said that
 the exhibitors paid much as $100 day
 rental, while you insisted that the aver
 age was about S10. I have investigated
 that and find I was correct" Well 1t wouldn't exceed $25 day, would it?" Mir. Bs Der queried. T haven't shown film In any of my houses that didn't cost more than s25 rem tai day. said MT. Mudd in answer to this question.
