LETTERS TO EDITOR
"The Glass in Food"

To the Editor of The Age e-Heralo.
 Recently The Age-Hera1d copied from the Courier-Joura1 L.ouisvilles an article headed as the above
 It stated that in the many instances where it was claimed glass had bcen found in food, it had been proven un- true except in one instance and that this was private affair. Also that there is no such thing as cabbage snake" and the kissing buzz is a myth.
 I was forcibly struck with these statements because I knew to cer- tainty they were not true.
 Last month I found a small portion of glass in can of food and opened lit myself. quietly spoke of 1t to the merchant and to no one else
 In the spring a housekeeper in Corinth, Miss. perfectly reliable, found glass in oatmeal. very carefully mixed. Oatmeal is good thing to put it in. as it is not easily discernable. and the food slips down easily.
 Instead of throwing people off their guard, it will be wiser to caution every housekeeper to examine all food. If d cook opens food. stand by and examine contents of can or box. Glass is not easily detected in meal, and should be closely examined.
 There are too many alien enemies in the states for us not to take every precaution.
 Now as to there being snake right fully called cabbage snake, do not know. But I do know that several years ago a negro cook partly cut a oah ho wi Vt Sb jp put it into pot of boiling water, Aft CT 1t was put on the table, the house. mother began to sever the head, when she saw, almost intact, a small green snake coiled in the leaves. Several saw this.
 Several years ago, one rainy summer, I went to the garden with my aunt to help her gather beans, We both saw a small green snake sliding in and out of the dense vines which were climbing poles. The snake was the exact color of beans. Rows of cabbage were not far from the bean vines.
 The two-year-old baby of friend of mine, living near Baldwin, Miss, was sitting on the floor one night near an open window. A kind of big moth flew in and landed squarely on the baby's mouth. She cried out as if in pain. Tho mother thought she was only frightened. She killed the moth and quieted the baby. Soon the lit- tie ones mouth began to swell ana she died the next day in great agony.
 My idea Is that this peculiar moth stings whenever it lights If one gets in room. it is usually killed before 1t has stung any one. This moth or bug is very rare ana IS seldom seen. But that such A poisonous bug ex- ists there is no doubt It is well .o kill all moths and bugs. None of them are to be trusted. They must all have originated in Germany.

 Col. Tom O. Smith, cashier of the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank, was elected marshal of the parade that is to precede the sale. In the parade each bull will be led by Red Cross worker who will have a guard of four soldiers.
 AUTOGRAPH BILL
 The committee was informed yester- day that the packers association of Chicago had appropriated s10,000 with which they hope to buy the auto graphed dollar bill which President Wilson paid for the grand champion bull last Saturday.
 It having been found to be m- practicable to send the bulls to Wash ington for grading by the American Shorthorn Breeders association expert, the committee altered their plans in that regard. They will try to arrange to send the champion to Washington after the sale for the purpose of hav- ing him photographed on the White House lawn with President Wilson, in the event the President gives his con sent. To secure his consent the com mittee yesterday sent the following telegram to Robert Jemison, Sr., who is charged with the mission of securing it:
 Robert Jemison, Sr.. Bellevue-Strat-
 ford Hotel, Philadelphia. Pa.
 "Committee decided it better to have prize bull shipped to Washington fol- lowing the sale, to be photographed on front lawn of the White House. Please take up with Senator Bankhead. Se- cure consent of President to stand for picture. ERSkINE RAMSEY"

At Loew's Biiou

At each performance Corporal Love, 56th infantry, now playing at Loew's Bljou draws nearer and nearer his hearers by the magic of his bow. His selections are well chosen, including some of the lighter standard music as well as ragtime tunes jazzed to death.
 Holmes and LeVere have good act which runs toward the lighter vein. Faye and Jack Smith in their new war songs draw a heavy hand, and have an excellent turn. Charles LeSe- gar, flying boob comedian, takes the house by storm. He has two tight rope stunts that have never been seen in this city before in any form. With I highly entertaining display of na- tive sports and song the Wyoming Trio end the bill.
