opinion that before the war is over

has profited much by Frances sad
experience and rejected all who show
ed any disposition to consumption
and her soldiers who have taken the
disease are comparatively few in
number compared with those of
France. He urged that America, learn
from the experience and observe the
greatest care in the examination of
recruits by the most expert physici-
ans cbtainable. The Kentucky Tuber-

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis, in session last week in Cincirna-
ii. went on record of condemnation
OF all alleged consumptive cures as
absolutely harmful and often produc-
tive Of serious results. The advice is
to take no medicine but that pre-
scribed by a reputable physician, OBJ
serve the utmost cleanliness ard SAN
itary requirements, breathe plenty of
fresh air, eat wei cooked, nourishing
food, avoid all dissipation and use of
alcoholic liquors, maintain cheerful
ness and rest. This will be found to
work wonders for Improvement and
often permanent cure. The Tuber-
culosis Commission with headquart-
ers at Frankfort, is prosecuting a Wig
orous campaign for the prevention
and cure of tuberculosis, and DR.. w.
l.. Heller, Executive Secretary, will
gladly furnish any information when
requested.
In the ten years fight on the di-
sease by the Nation al Association for
the Study and Prevention, assisted by
its auxiliaries in the States the death
rate has been reduced from 200.7
per 100000 to 146S. The number
of sanatoria has increased more than
$50, clinics from 20 to 400 and tu-
berculosis agencies from 1856 to more
than 5000.
The Kentucky tuberculosis Com
mission is doing all it can with its
limited resources to aid in the great
work of research and education.

Secretary, Frankfort, for pamphlets

Matter of Installing Street Lights at the Instance of City Commission May Be Decided by the

The Alabama public service commission may relieve the commission from wag- ing the fight to make the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company in stall the 150 street lights that have been ordered in service. The commission au- thorized two more lights to be installed al the session yesterday.
 The city and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company have haggled over one significant point. The commis- sion insisted that the lights should be installed by the lighting company with out quibbling about contracts. The pub lie service corporation insisted that some contract be entered into to protect the necessary expenses

 The city attorney was instructed to inquire into the law to see whether this power rested with the public service commission.

Somewhere in France" Birmingham will render a service to humanity. Valiant heroes of the allies, suffer- ing from the horrible effects of liquid fire and all the other forms of burn ing wounds inflicted by the Teutonic attacks. will have their pain allevi- ated. They will be given a chance again to go out into the world as men without suffering the slow agonies of unhealed burns.
 Through the efforts of the Drama league and some of it's supporters, the lives of men from the trenches will be saved. The visit of Cyril Maude, the famous English actor, provided Bir- mingham with more than an evening of unrivaled dramatic enjoyment. It enabled patriotic and Humanitarian citizens of this city to do a kindly act. It offered an opportunity of acquaint- ing them with how they could help In relieving the suffering occasioned by the tremendous conflict raging across the seas.
 When the cry went up that millions in Belgium were threatened with star vation, Birmingham helped to feed them. When the call came from war tossed Poland, Birmingham did her full part. When Armenia made a plea for aid, aid was cheerfully given. And
 now Birmingham is again to contrib
 ute her mite to alleviate the suffering of other nations.
 This time it is not food that is
 needed. It is the saving of lives and
 the prevention of disfigurement and
 suffering. An ambulance is to be pro-
 vided for use of the allied soldiers
