RESIDENTS CLEAR
 .COMMUN|TY0 0F DOCS

Residents in the neighborhood Of Cliff road and the Country club are considerably alarmed over the fact that their community is infested with mad dogs. It became known yesterday that a rabid animal bit fine setter on Cliff road and attacked several other dogs upon the same street. The dog appeared a little later at negro's house near the Country club
 and bit several of his dogs. It then made it's escape through the woods and
 bit several hogs owned by the negro. resident of the community, realiz- ing the danger that his family was in and the danger that threatened other
 children and other families in the
 neighborhood, went in search of the dog He discovered him in the thicket
 just back of the golf course at the Country club.
 Observing that the dog was unmuz- zled and without license tag and that foam was running from his mouth the man shot the dog. The head of the
 dog was taken in charge by the board of health and they later reported that
 the dog had rabies
 Upon learning this, several residents
 in the neighborhood set about to kill
 the dogs which they believed to have been bitten. Several of the dogs were killed. but it isHbelieved that there are one or two of them which are still loose in the community.
 People in that section of the city are warned to be careful of any stray and unmuzzled dogs they see upon the streets.

DENTAL CL|N|CFOR
 INDECENT CHILDREN

Plans are being made by the Jefferson county board of revenue for the estab- lishment of dental clinic in Birming- ham in the early fall.
 It will be opened in connection with the health department and will be for the treatment of teeth of all indigent children in the county and for other per sons who are unable to pay for this work.
 This action was taken following a con ference with Dr. J. D. Bowling, city and county health officer, who recommended the establishment of such a clinic. Ac- cording to members of the board, 1t will be operated in the Hillman hospital or some other centrally located place. It will include all of the most modern den- tai accessories and a competent dentist will be employed and required to devote all of his time to this work.
 The cost of establishing the clinic will be approximately $1,500, it is stated, and it's maintenance is expected to cost about 5000 a year.
 While it will be primarily for school children whose parents are financially unable to obtain the proper treatment. any indigent person of the county will be treated when it is shown he is not financially able to pay for private dental work
 Members of the board in speaking of tho intention to establish the clinic, stated that science had shown that bad teeth cause a considerable number o! diseases and that many of these can be wiped out by proper treatment of the teeth in childhood The board plans, in addition to treatment, to have period ical examinations of the teeth of all school children in order to discover and eradicate incipient tooth troubles.

In the same way, tooth pastes and powders, which both contain abrasive grit. whiten the teeth by wearing away the enamel. natures protector. This leaves tiny holes in the teeth for decay germs to attack. Tastes and powders also cause torn gums, and these are another principal lodging place for germs. No germs can enter unless the skin ss broken That is why many oral scientists say that pyorrhea and most mouth troubles are caused by tooth-pastes and powders. And this seems true for whoever heard of pyor- rhea few years ago before these gritty dentifrices became generally usedf
 ynThe only safe, sure way to care for the teeth is to a really antseptc mouth wash. Now at last a wonderful formula has been worked out that is pleasant to use, yet kills all germs in the mouth. This prepara- tion is called Steroline, and it is unequalled because it is based on the famous officially approved Dobell's Solution, which was life saver everywhere during the War. Dobelrs Solution has enjoyed the approval of every doctors convention for fifty years. Yet it can only be used with general satisfaction
 in Steroline--because Steroline contains other splendid ingredients which soothe heal and allay inflammation, cleanse but cannot scratch, and are good for bleeding gums.
 If you are using tooth pastes or powders remember they will wear teeth and tear gums, but can never reach more than 50 per cent of the surface. The other 40 per cent is never cleaned. Steroline, being . liquid, goes between the teeth and reaches all the hidden spots. Brush your teeth with it as often as you like You will never change. because Sterolns gives the results and safety you've Adv.

 Washington Bureau The Aae-HeraId
 800 Davidson Bulldin Washington, April G. Specially Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi has concluded to express himself in the SeDnte, immediately after the beginning of the extraordinary ses- sion of Congress, regarding the nomination of Col. George Harvey, to be ambassador to the court of St. James, which nomination, 1t Is certain, will be put before the Sem ate by the President April II.
 Senator Harrison does not regard that appointment with any degree of pleasure. He gives to CononeI Harvey credit for brain power and ability correctly to write and in- terpret the English language. But he thinks that the President should send to London some man other than one who, he thinks, acquired position of "cOurt favorite" through his effort in tearing down the halo which Woodrow Wilson formerly wore.
 Senator Harrison, in an infor- nal discussion with this core spondent, referred to the fact that Harvey sponsored Wilson, and sup ported him ardently until the then democratic candidate asked him to desist because of his opinion that Harvey's support constituted n handicap in western states. far re- moved from the influence of Wall street.

realized soon If the experiments of
Professor l.. NJ. PEARS. of the depart
ment of entomology of the University

with great degree OF success in
showing the praCtivility of hot storage
for such articles as carpets. clothing,
particularly woolens and furs, as well
as cereals, dried products and other
materials unaffected by dry heat.
Professor peairs has used grain and
carpet beetles and other insects of
similar nature in demonstrating that
they do not develop at a constant tenn
pcrature of 100 degrees Farenheit,
and in some cases at 95 degrees. Even
such forms of insect life as could en-
dure higher temperatures could not
survive constant temperature of
from 95 to 100 degrees he said. Thus.
he has concluded that hot storage
with uniform and constant tempera-
ture of 100 degrees would prove more
effective than cold storage in many
cases.
