Bessemer. December 7.-(SpeciaL) The relief work that is being done by committee of women in providing food and in other ways assisting in caring for the sick during the preva- fence of influenza in the city is proving to be of the greatest benefit to many sufferers and is being highly com mended by physicians and other prom inent citizens. Soups and other foods for invalids as well as a> stronger diet for convalescents are prepared at the Hoover. kitchen every day and dis tribIted to families there In need. Friday 15 families were visited. and the number was increased to IS Saturday.

elements in that sugar-coated pill; nor is there, think, a single one of the commission whom I believe capable, after carefully considering that pill which f the compissoR has prepared, who is fool enough to believe that the public will accept same without protest. I, therefore. humbly suggest and advise that our city commissioners and county commissioners set their feet firmly against making an appropriation of the peoples money for the support and main- teuance of any such places of detention or bastiles of infamy, even though they may be urgently importuned to do so l by some of those who would be willing l to sacrifice, our city's fair name, and to further tax our already over-burdened people in the consummation of their il- l legal, inhunan. malicious and selfish purposes.
 And I furthermore sincerely trust that our city papers will henceforth cease to give additional publicity to the dirty. scandal working and disgraceful hulla- baloo that has been raised and exploited by some of our well~meaning, but short sighted, altruistic citizens. as well as by some, no doubt, with the sole ambi- ton of keeping themselves in the spot light of notoriety all of whom, no doubt, are unconsciously catering to the grati- flcation of some disgruntled person with whom the whole unsavory matter origi- mated.
 Would it not be well, indeed. to let the whole matter slumber and die in si- lence of it's own putrescence and there after forever be relegated to that ob- livion known as Hads?

TO WEAR FLU MASKS

A number of women reported at the Red Cross headquarters Saturday aft ernoon and spent several hours in making "flu'' masks, and it is expected that the streetx4yill be full of folks Sunday morninW wearing the gauge masks on their way to church. There seems to be Q great deal of prejudice against wearing the face masks, but it has been strongly urged by Dr. Dowl- ing, health officer. and requested by Mayor B. c. Jons as the means of ar resting the spread of influenza, and it is thought that the people of Besse- mer will comply with the request of the, mayor. The closing of schools is thought improbable, according to statements made by Mayor Jones, after canvass of the members of the board of education, and a discussion of the situation with the physicians of the city. Many are in favor of closing the schools" said Mayor Jones, but the majority think it useless as precau tionary measure"
 A statement given out by W. O.. Bishop. the health officer for Besse- mer, is to the effect that since No- vember 22, when he entered upon his duties here. there have been AS burial permits issued by him, S9 of which were for influenza and pneumonia. These figures justify the using of every precaution to arrest the disease, and it is expected that the masks will be universally worn In the city.
