 Prompt Response
 '~rhe committee requests that each person, firm ors corporation receiving such a letter make prompt response. If the amount suggested IS too small the committee requests that check for a larger sum be sent, as has all ready been done in several cases.

Checks should be mailed to Erskine Ramsay, chairman of the finance committee. In order that the , records may be completed it is re- quested that a reply be sent at the earliest possible moment

 Due to the large number of let tcrs to be sent out and the difficulty of getting accurate lists it is prob able that some will receive dupii- cate letters while others will neces- sarily be overlooked.

SEVEN INSPECTORS
 WILL HANDLE MILK
 PURITY QUESTION
Majority of Diaries, Health Officer Says, Cooperating With New LaW-0thers
 Will Have to Comply

Seven employees of the health de pertinent, with six cars, have been detailed to milk control work, Dr. J. D. Bowling, city health officer announced yesterday afternoon Their work will begin tomorrow morning when the taking of off cial samples will be begun.
 Duties of the inspectors, in addition to sampling, will be visiting dairies scoring and checking every detail in accordance with the requirements of the milk code. Violations of the code will be the basis for arrest and pos sible fine.
 To Observe Code
 More than 30 persons have signified their intention of observing the pro- visions of the milk code, pr. Bowling declared. The majority of these places are already equipped or almost equipped to comply with the law. Several other dairymen have notified Dr. Bowling of their intention to comply with the code provisions as soon as improveme have been completed.
 Milk supplies now serving Bir- mingham. will shrink to one third oi the present number. when the pro- visions of the code are enforced, Dr. Bowling stated. There are about 150 dispensers of milk in the city now. Many of those distributing milk a, he present time are not equipped and nave no intention of complying with the law, he said. They will simply have to go out of business. About 50 substantial milk producers will be left Hla.A he said. They will simply have to go out of business About 50 substan- ltial milk producers will be left.
 Amicable relations have been es- tablished between the health depart ment and the dairymen. Little diff. culty in enforcing the code Is ex- pected. The code went into effect August 25.
 Dr. Bowling declared he was mark ing time in the food campaign until a decision was handed down on the validity of the ordinance under which his men are operating.

 "Mr. Lattuille, you're just the incest man to think up a programme like this And your company"
 q believe I will have another bit of the lamb"
 And with such incorherences and gala chatter, such as only an afternoon tea usually provides, J. H. Lattuilles the manager of the Underwood Typewriter company, was swamped with attention yesterday. The occasion was regular barbecue given by the Underwood company through MT. Lattuil1e. M
 Nothing like the, affair has ever been given in the city before. For it was staged for the office, business and professional women of Birming- ham and to promote genera. good city fellowship.
 Mrs 14attuille was the official hos tess for the ladies

 Between the first service and the departing hour, 250 Representative women of the city had taken advan- tage of the festive occasion,r
 There were women there from the Business and Professional Women's club. and it's president, Dr. Lola Taylor, gave little talk. There were girls from almost every Ncity organization; there were mothers and housewives, too, in small mum ber-and even some visitors from out of town.

 The ba-becued meat was turned to a nicety-and so perfectly good that business men all over town re- fused to be shut off from it's de- lights, and later in the afternoon when the women had all gone another 1000 pounds of meat was sent down to stop them from spread ing the report that they had been discriminated against.

By MRS. RICHARD F. JOHNSTO,
 Tn an editorial recently pub lfshed by The Age Herald. later indorsed by the Business and Professional Women's club of this city. was reminded of two principles developed by both serious study of thrift during my two years of service with the government as state chairman of the thrift campaign for Alabama during and after the war, and later my study of citizenship and the duties involv~ ing citizenship as a member Of the League of Women Voters and the campaign of education which they have conducted along this line for the past few years.
 Opportunity to put both prin- ciples into practice occurred this week when I received a card of invitation to attend a sale of ladies' wearing apparel conducted by an out-of-town firm at To- cal hotel
 Why Make it Possible
 Why should the women of Birmingham make it possible for an outside firm to do business here to the extent that they will bring their goods here in trunks, pay no license-only rent for two days-give nothing towards the city's welfare, care nothing about us except to get our money ---our trade and ask more for the goods than our merchants who pay license to do business the year around, and contribute towards every civic and chris tiap movement?
 I determined to see what the inducement could be. Thinking that the thrift instinct of the women of Birmingham might be at the bottom of the thing, I determined to find out. So went into the room of the com pany selling here. l looked at the dresAs. the sweaters, the coats and the coat suits. l priced them. Then I went to the va rious larger stores here. l found a difference of fpnm 30 per, cent to 40 per cent in price in favor of Birmingham.
 For instance, there was a coat suit of a well known brand priced there at $75, priced in d Birmingham shop at exactly s15 less. There was a lovely terra cotta eown-for s2S$ and a duplicate of it in the Birming-

 There was a Hudson bay sable choker for $500, and the same piece in a Birmingham shop for $165. The coats were priced from s10 to s15 less in every instance, The same was true of the early fall models in serges and tricotines, canton crepes and silk materials.
 I was forced to decide, after an investigation of three hours, just to satisfy my own ideas of the right thing to do. that the recent decision of the Birming- ham Business and Professional Women to shop In Birmingham, was both thrifty and patriotic move.
 l was fully convinced. A Bir- mingham woman was asked after she. was enfranchised what ticket she expected to vote in national affairs. She answered.: : All things being equal. shall vote the democratic ticket" The Birmingham women, after an honest investigation like I mado might decide, All kthings being equal, trade in Birmingham" They will find that all things are not equal. The Birmingham merchants not only are equal in style and beauty of models, but they are cheaper in price for exactly the same goods-so why not be both thrifty and patriotic and buy at home from the mer chants who handle the same goods at a cheaper price and are helping in every forward move ment to make Birmingham bet ter place in which to live? Let's all trade in Birmingham.

EAT LESS MEAT
# BACK HURTS
Take a glass of Salts to Flush Kid
neys if bladder bothers
you.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some
form or other, says well-knowr
authority, because the uric acid in
meat excites the kidneys, they be.
come overworked; get sluggish; clog
up and cause all sorts of distress
particularly backache and misery in
the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach,
constipation, torpid liver, sleepless-
ness, bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations
to flush clogged kidneys and stimu-
late them to normal activity; also to
the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent 18th
ia-water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to
keep the urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney diseases.

PROBLEM FOR OFFICIALS.

Palatka, like practically every city
in Florida is faced with problem
which is puzzling sheriffs forces and
police officials. 1t is what to do with
the steady stream of wandering, I'M
employed men who have left the cold
er regions of the north to come down
where the sun is warm and forced
residence in the open is not such a
hardship. Many of these men are
young, intelligent and capable but are
not equipped in any special vocation
and cannot find employment in the
north.
To arrest them and put them on
the chain gangs is neither profitable
or a desirable action on the part of
officials. TIL sheep cannot be herd
ed from the goats, and the criminal
comes along with the man honestly
seeking work in a land which has
been represented to him as being the
best place in America to be-especial-
ly during the winter.
But if thse men are not put to work
and are not kept going, they btcome
desperate in some instances the GRIM
inal instinct is abnormally developed
and innocent residents are the suffer-
ers The recent rtvolting crime in
DeLand is but an example. Others,
almost equally as aerrifying to tht
peace loving citizen have happened
in Florida, and yet if all of the idle
are arrtSted and sentenced under the
yagrancy laws the chain gangs and
jails will be overrrun and county ex-
penses sent sky high at time when
expenses cannot be increased.
Some time ago thert was consid-
cradle discussion at meeting OF the
Board of County Commissioners, OF
this counay on expense bills OF ar
resting officers in attempting to cope
with the situation. The officers are
to be commended for atttmpaing to
do their duty, but this happens~to be
an instance where it is very doubtful
if it is a better policy TO strictly en-
force the vagrancy law, despitt the
fact of abe ever impending dangers
from large numbers of restless, hun
gry and desperate men.
