 INFECTIOUS DISEASE
Commission Adopts Ordi- nances Backing Shrop- shire's Committee-City Health Officer Given
 Power to Act

Dr. J. D. Bowling. city health officer. was yesterday given full authority by the city. in an ordinance adopted by the commission, to take over the matter of ridding the city of venereal diseases, to utilize the police department of the city and their power in arresting all women of known questionable character and to have them examined, and in case they are found to be diseased they will be placed in detention until cured.
 Dr. Bowling will be assisted in this work by pr. C. w. Shropshire who is chairman of a committee named by Dr. N. A. Barrett, president of the city commission, in connection with Dr. Bowling, Judge W. E. Fort, J K. Brock man, Alec c. Montgomery and Arthur c. Crowder. Since this committee was named pr. Shropshire has been very ac- tive in bringing the matter of elim- mating Birmingham of venereal dis eases to such a point that action could be taken. He has held a conference in Birmingham with certain high medical authorities from Camp Mcclellan, pro- duced the proof that Birmingham Nas not free from such diseases, thereby making it possible for the commission to act in a forcible manner. It is now the intent of the commission to back Dr. Shropshifes committee and see that every condition existing in Bir- mingham that is unfavorable to the public health is removed

an EATONIC tablet regularly after

EATONIC acts directly with the

ables the food to pass from the stom-

BOY PROBABLY TOLD TRUTH
Chances Are There Was Good, Hard
Bottom to Slough If Traveller
: Had Reached 1t.

Occasionally there are times when
q lie is the-truth. The followiA & story
illustrates that paradox:
IL Oregon there are many sloughs
of mud or quicksand which are diff
cult and dangerous to cross. A GER
tain Methodist missionary in that
state, in the course Of his travels, came
to a slough which looked so formi-
dable that he called boy, who was
chopping wood on the other side, and
said:
"Boy, is that safe slough TO CROSSE"
"Oh, yes."
'Has it a good hard bottom?"
"Oh, yes," said the boy.
The man started to cross; his horse
mired, and he had to dismount and
wade out. Naturally he was angry.
"Why did you lie to me?'' he demand
ed. Didn't you say the slough had
good hard bottom?"
"Oh, yes" said the boy, 1.-THE bot

LOUISIANA OFFERS IDEAL
CONDITIONS FOR PECANS.

The fact that thousands upon
thousands Of pecan trees are
growing in the State without hay-
ing had the benefit of any cul-
tural methods whatever is ample
proof that the climate andFs soil Of
Louisiana are ideal for the pecan
industry, according to B. Szymo-
MAX, fruit and nut specialist, Ex-
tension Division, Louisiana State
University.
All that is necessary in most
eases to start a pecan orchard. he
says, is to transplant into straight
rows seedlings that are already
growing in the woods, which can
later be bedded or grated to thin
shell varieties of good quality.
Louisiana farmers and Others
should take advantage of the
ideal soil and climatic conditions
to plant more pecan trees and
orchards says Mr.. Szymoniak.
The pecan is comparatively quick
and long lived. II comes
into bearing at from six to ten
years after transplanting, depend
ing on ..oil conditions, variety and
care given the orchard.
Full information on methods
of planting and varieties may be
obtained by writing to the Ex-
tension Division, Louisiana State
University, Baton Rouge.

NEGLECT OF IMPLEMENTS
FARMS BIGGEST LEAK.

One of the biggest leaks in the
farming business is caused by the
lack Of care given farm implc-
mcnts and machinery, according
to f. b. Doran, assistant profcs-
sor of agronomy, Louisiana State
University. The care of farm
machinery, says Mr.. DoraU,
means CD protesting it from the
weather at all times; (2) seeing
that it is properly operated, well
fabricated. and doing only the
work for which it was built; and
(3) making sure that IT as at al
times in good working order for
the sake Of the machine itself and
to avoid loss of time in the field
"Thc necessity for taking good
care of farm implements is more
vital now than ever before. The
prices are high and materials are
scarce even though the war IS
over. And the probabilities arc
that this CONDITION will continue
for several years longer.
