cost of making rat-proof the old build ings is enormous, but rat-proofing of new buildings. he thinks, will not add materially to the cost. He suggested the immediate beginning of rat-killing cam- paigns throughout the state.
 Alabama was able, through the vigil ance of it's health authorities, to prevent the invasion of yellow fever while the commerce of our sister states was par alyzed and a large death toll taken of their citizenship" said the letter.
 We have recently made a rat survey of our only seaport, Mobile, and found it free of plague infection" continued the letter. We are maintaining the strictest supervision possible over all shipping to prevent the introduction of plague from other ports. Quarantine against New Orleans and Pensacola is unnecessary. Officers of the United States public health service are stationed at each port, charged with the duty of dsnfectins freight cars and inspecting the loading of all freight bound for the interior. This has been demonstrated to be the best method of controlling the spread of the disease and not interfere with the commerce.

Worry Continues Ouer Lack
 of Space in Posfoffice
Before Building Is Completed Scarcity of Accommodation Will Make Necessary Retention of One or More
 Departments in Old Structure

, ters to secure the additional apprcpria- tion were informed that this was not the opportune time, it is stated
 When J. M. Geary, government repre- sentative in charge of the work, visited the local officials at the present gov- ernment building in his efforts to allot the space in, the new building, it was discovered that the new building was in- adequate to meet the needs of the off, cials. That is, they will not have the amount of space they deem necessary, and it is stated that many will not have as much as they are now occupying in the present building.
 If this is the case, then the new build ing is not adequate for the present needs of the city, to say nothing of the growth of the next few years, says one of the officials. Birmingham needs three story building he continued, "and it appears to me that the time to get it
 is before the roof is installed, for when
 the other story is added as it will have to be within the next few years, it will call for more expense.
 He spoke of the large amount of space
 in the postoffce buildings at Florence.
 Anniston, Tuscaloosa and the other
 towns of Alabama and declared it seemed d shame to build a new federal
 building to relieve the congested con
 dition a the present one and not have it large enough for the present needs In the meantime there is much specu-
 lation relative to which department will
 remain in. the old building, as it will be necessary for some of the govern ment officials to continue in the post office now in use, it is stated.

Commissions Ruling Favor ing North and East Is Sub- ject of Protest From
 Alabama Producers

James Bowron. president of the GIiif States Steel Company. has gone to New York to attend meeting of directors
 Later in the week he will appear before the Interstate Commerce Commission and make plea for proportonate adjustment Of the rates on raw material to furnaces in Alal anna.
 The maladjustment originated in the or- Ger made by the Interstate Commerce Commission three years ago when il. granted flat increase of % cents a ton on raw material assembling rates throughout tie country
 l. The effect on these rates in Alabapa was to raise them over one hundred per cent, whereas the increase in the Penneyt- vania industrial field amounted to a trifie over ten per cent.
 The Pittsburgh furnaces assemble their raw material from an average distance of 200 to SO miles, while the average dis tance of assemblage in the Birmingham
 district is about twelve miles. The former
 rate in the Pittsburg field was about s2.50, while that in Alabama was p 1-g cents. The flat raise of 30 cents a ton is re- garded as unjust and risproportionate. REIMBURSEMENT But it is not only the present maladju:st- ment that the Alabama furnace men are protesting. but they are apprehensve of further injustice in the applicatio of the expected rate increases.
 What tn, Alabama iron masters wish is the recognition of the old base rates as the starting point from which to figure all increases, including those already ill vogue.
 The Birmingham Terminal committee has received copies of the orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission of last Saturday and will be governed by them in regard to coal cars.s

.S0UTH|S TURNING AGAINST CAL0MEL
Mir. Dodson, the ''Liver Tone'' Man, Responsible for
 Change for the Better.

Every druggist in town has noticed great falling off in the sale of calo- mel. They all give the same reason. Dodsons' Liver Tone is taking it's place.
 "Calomel is dangerous and people know it." Dodsons Liver Tone is per- sonally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle doesn't cost very much, but If it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver slug glshness and constipation, just ask for your money back.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant tasting. purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness sick head ache, acid stomach or constipated bow els. It doesn't gripe or cause incon- Nenience all the next day like violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel to- day and tomorrow you will feel weak. sick and nauseated. Don't lose a day Adv.

For the. Good of
 the Community

A " T seems passing strange that as long as man has had to do with fire, and as familiar as he has become with it's ravag- ing capacity, he will invite it's destructive action.
 Here are data with regard to farm fires" in the state of Alabama in 1913. They were compiled by the National Board of Fire Underwriters through the actuarial bureau and may be regarded as accurate
 Out of total farm fire loss of S125,000 the amounts credited to strictly prevent able causes" are listed as follows:
 Defective chimneys and flues, S25,076.
 Sparks on roofs, S18,908.
 Hot ashes and coals, open grates, S3,018
 Matches, smoking, S5,580.
 Petroleum and it's products S660.
 Stoves, furnaces, $75.
 Exposures, S842.
 It appears that 20 per cent of the farm fire loss is due to defective chimneys and flues"
 The defective flue' is also city dis ease. The city man has had so much edu- cation of such a persistent nature along this line that he has made some improve ment, but it is probably true even in this day and generation that the householder who has a yearly inspection made of his 7 Ia1.... ..
 It is probable that the housewife who is meticulously careful of the manner in which waste paper and other inflamma- ble trash are allowed to accumulate in dangerous vicinity to furnaces is another exception to the rule.
 The farm fire loss incident to sparks on roofs looms up larger than one would have surmised. That loss will probably be less in the future incident to the great in- crease in the application of the non- inflammable roof
 The non-inflammable roof is notable in new structures that are rising along the rural highways as we'll as on those that are being built or recovered in the cities.
 The non-inflammable material comes either non-inflammable in itself or through liquid aplications that make in- flammable material on-inflammable.
 There being no kind of roof which can not be made non-inflammable time will come when an inflammable roof will be regarded with about as much respect as tick-burdened COW in pasture of tick free cattle. The careless smoker is credited with costly percentage of the farm fires. What he has cost in cities is far greater.
 Trash in an elevator shaft; match thrown down the shaft before the man who had used it to light his cigar or cigarette looked to see if it was stilllight- ed; conflagration; large portion of a city block reduced to blackened walls and a number of merchants put out of busi- ness
