Vaccination


Very few people today have seen
a case of smallpox. because. as a
result of vaccination, civilized lands
have almost no smallpox within their
borders.
Before vaccination was discovered
and practiced, however, one-tenth of
all deaths were caused by smallpox.
All infants should be vaccinated
by the time they are six months
old. and should be again vaccinated
before they begin school.
All people should be re-vaccinated
every six or seven years. The re.
vaccination is necessary because vac
cination is known to protect against
smallpox only six or seven years.
In the presence of an epidemic or
a threatened epidemic every person
should be vaccinated, no matter how
young or how old, and no matter how
recently he was vaccinated. d
When a vaccination is performed
the slight wound must be kept clean
and dry until complete healing,
which may take from 10 to IA days.
Don't wear a vaccination shield.
Posture
When the body is held erect and
well poised, all the organs are in
the best position for carrying out
their special functions.
When this is not the case. 1t is easy
to see how arrangements of the
health may come about.
Elements of bad posture, such as
round shoulders, protruding head,
"sway back" fiexed or over-extended
knees, and weak feet, often appear
in young children, and exercises for
their correction must not be delayed
too long.

Quick, clean heat q
for every kind of cooking NA

TT is hard to appreciate the
i convenience and satisfaction
of cooking with the New Per-
lection until you have actually
done SO.
It's a relief, especially in warm
weather, to be rid of carrying
coal, wood and ashes, sweep
ing up litter and backing the
stove. And then you don't
have to crush the fire" on
baking days and heat up the
kitchen. Two burners on the
New Perfection will give you
all the heat needed for any
kind of baking. You can regu-
late the heat produced by each
burner, warm something gently
on one and roast over another
in a New Perfection oven.

Collected on Election No Matter / Which Candidate Won the Election
AUGUSTA KYLE

some six years ago, when Richmond P, Hobson. hero of Santiago harbor, was contestlng for the United States senatorship withNo oscar W. Underwood, q unique tag day stunt was staged which took first place for in- genuity.. '
 The 'stunt was recalled yester- day by Scudder Ryall, city clerk. during discussion of tag day permits.
 It seems that t~o suave, we'll dressed men from the eastern section of the United States drifted into Birmingham just at the time when the senatorial campaign was hottest. Short of funds, they acted quickly on q brilliant idea.
 A woman confederate attrac- tive and dressed fashionably, was persuaded to join forces with them. Then plans were unfolded. An advertisement for girls was run several days in local news papers. the girls meeting the woman at a down-town store. Fifty or 70 girls were enlisted in the work and the fun was ready to start.
 Launching into a tag day col lection, the campaign scheme was very clever. When the big day broke, the girls were in- structed to sell votes at 10 cents each. Prospects were told that loving cup was to be presented to the candidate for the Senate receiving the most votes during the day.
 Of course, the results were as

Food Law Enforcement
 In1peratiue Need Here
By II. w. sCHAEFER

Fruit, cooked meats, and other foods intended for consumption without further preparation, daily lie exposed to germs, dirt and dust in many small stores and stands of Birming- ham, without any apparent effort on the part of the authorities to bring violators of food laws of the city to account, investigation shows.
 Tuberculosis germs play tag with the harbingersAof typhoid unchecked by human hand or agency. Peaches receive most unnatural freckles wher white booted germ mladen flies, fresh from a call on meringued pies, make a tour of inspection in the stands.
 Cockroaches play leapfrog among the milk bottles in ice boxes care- lessly kept occasionally making 6 record jump and landing among the seeds in a slice of watermelon await ing a purchaser.
 Cooked meats awaiting contagion from dust, dirt and the feet of flies, lie bare-facedly in violation of the food laws of Birmingham. Cheese, fruits and vegetables intended for raw consumption~and even the cS-a- mon or garden variety of hot dog are potential factors in the present number of communicable disease cases in this city, according to ad- missions of the health department.

wonderful as the promoters had hoped for. With the race at fever heat, stanch supporters of the two candidates would buy huge punches of votes for their favorite in the contest.
 During the day, the two master minds were not idle. Every hour they would put on a collection pilgrimage, journeying from sta tion to station and raking in the proceeds of the preceding hours solicitation. Needless to say, the girls were receiving straight salary of S2 per day.
 This sort of thing went on un- til about 3 o'clock in the after noon. Then Mrs. Searight. at that time welfare department head for the city, was asked to make an investigation.
 First she found that no permit for the tag day had been issued No one around the city hall was aware of the enterprise. Prompt ly visiting the various stations. Mrs. Searigh and officers were able to apprehend one of the two "city slickers" who were putting over this coup.
 Girls and man were haled into court without further ado. The girls were immediately released from custody. as it was apparent they were guiltless. The man was assessed a nominal fine. from all information court rec ords show.
 Scudder gave vent 10 a remi- niscent chuckle as he recalled the episode.
 Those birds were pretty smart at that" he laughed.

EXPOSITION FOR SWEET POTATOES Plans Being Made for Show Here During This
 Fall

Advertising the sweet potato in- dustry in all it's branches, the World Sweet Potato Exposition is to be held-; Birmingham this fall.
 No date has been set for the expo sition, but will probably correspond with either that of the State Fair or the Birmingham Semicentennial expo sftion. according to encouragement or Wellington Brink, managing secre- tary of the association, who is in Bir- fningham with headquarters in the Empire building.
 It is planned for the exposition to bring together all those who are in- terested in the sweet potato industry in any of it's forms-the producers shippers, packers. manufacturers, and curers. No building has been select" ed yet The exhibits will include prize sweet potatoes from Porto Rico, Isle of Pines, Cuba and various Central and South American coun- tries. Practically every southern state will be represented.
 There will also be displays of model curing plants, by-product manufac- turing devices, baskets. cans and crates. The object of the exposition, as stated by Mir. Brink, is to create sentiment that will tend to increase the consumption and appreciation of the sweet potato.
 MT. Brink points out that the sweet potato is almost a southern monopoly. The annual value of the crop is said to be $167, 900. 900. Plans are to be put on foot by which the sweet po- tato as an article of food will become better known in the north.
 The president of the exposition Is Niels Christensen of South Carolina. The vice presidents are c. F. Ucker. manager of the Southern Settlement and Development organization of Bal timore: R. D. Quisenberry, president of the Sweet Potato Gamers associa- tion. Montgomery; J. l.. Edwards. im- migration agent. A. B. & H. railroad. The director general Is o. c.

PLAN ID CARRY QUIT CHARITY REQUESTS
Vice President Berry Talks to Community Club on Will
 Campaign

Plans for carrying out the "Re- member Birmingham in Your will"I campaign of the Community club was outlined at the luncheon of the club yesterday by K. w. Berry, vice pres ident of the First National bank.
 The idea of the campaign is for the citizens of Birmingham to make bequests in their wills for charitable purposes in the city. Mir. Berry said the plan proposed by the First Ma tional bank was first used in Cleve- land. By it's provisions person may make the>bank trustee for the funds which he wishes to be used for charitable purposes. The bank man. ages the fund, and invests it as IS commonly done by trustees, but has nothing to do with its disposal.
 A committee of five persons is ar- ranged to have the authority as to which charities are to receive the in terest on the fund. One of the com- mittee is to be appointed by the pro- bate judge, one by the heads of ths city government, one by the United States district judge, and the other two by the trustee institution.
 MT. Berry pointed out the difficNl. ties confronting persons who desire to make small gifts. fearing they would not do an institution any good, and that many charities which were deserving at the time the person dies may become undeserving or unneces- sary after the elapse of time.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Berrys remarks. Edmund Armes. president of the club. said the part the Com munity club would take in the cam- paign would be purely one of stim- ulatine interest in donating money to the city. and that 1t would not Eo officially on record as favorins any specific plan.

Provision is made under the law for screening of foods and protection from dust and insects. These meas ures were adopted prior to 1917, when they were included in health code compiled by the city clerk at the di- rection of the recorder. Violations are apparent on every side. according to the statements of citizens, and ap- parent to any one who makes an in- spection.
 Charged with awaiting arbitrary powers before acting, the city health officer has been virtually commanded to enforce the laws now in force. Fruit stands must be screened, the law says, and the city commi ssion and the board of health are deter mined that the laws shall be ob- served.
 A spirit of indefinite prophecy seems to prevade the atmosphere There Is no clear idea of when the work of cleaning up Birmingham stores, making them safe for grown ups, children and babies, can begin. Probably next week, with three or four inspectors as maximum, it is understood.
 Meanwhile. Birmingham's typhoid rate is 14.5 per thousand. while that of Richmond, Va, where food laws no stronger than those of this city, Is only 35 per thousand However. the law is enforced in Richmond.

GREAT SOUTHERN
 NAME IS CHANGED
Alabama National Life Insur- ance Company Succeeds
 In Title Only

Due to similarity of names. the Great Southern Life Insurance com pany of Alabama, which conflicted with the Great Southern Life Insur- ance company of Texas, has changed its name to the Alabama National Life Insurance company. The change is one of name only, according to the president. E. R. McDavid. It was made necessary because of the law which prohibits more than one con- cern to use the same name.
 Directors of the company are proud of the name made during it's life, constant growth in every department being shown. A policy of expansion is now being pursued by the com pany.
 The commissioner of insurance of Florida recently issued license for the company to do business in that state after thorough examination. The company Is now organizing ter ritory and receiving business from its agents appointed there.
 Some of the best known business and professional men of the state are numbered among the officers of the company, among them being Judge Dan A. Greene. These mems past ex- perience, it is felt, qualify them to carry on a business requiring con- servative methods with progressive policies.
 For six yearss E. R. McDavid, the president was commi ssioner of in- surance for Alabama. He has spent all of his life in the state, most Of 1t in Birmingham The other oe- ficers and directors in various parts of the state are well known men.
