A Finer MOuthwash that Doctors
and Dentists Recommend to Their Patients

Doctors and dentists have been pre-
scribing Eukathol (Burnham) for a
number of years for its gern,icidal and
antiseptic qualities. Up to a short time
ago, Eukathol (Burnham) was dis
pensed only on prescription. 1t is the
favored mouthwash of many learned
and careful doctors and dentists because
they know that it does everything that
complete mouthwash should do
and nothing that it shouldn't.
Eukathol Burpham) is a NORMAL
saline solution; medical science rccog-
nizes this as the finest of antiseptics and
gernnicides. 1t is mild and non-poison-
GUS but potent. 1t works by exosmosis-
which means that it draws bacteria
from within instead of penetrating It's
sue and attacking the bacteria where
they are lodged. Because Eukathol
Burnhan) works by exosmosis it does
not break down the vital mucin which
holds together the flesh fbres in the
oral cavity.
Eukathol Burnham) is complete and
ideal mouthwash to use after brushing
the teeth because, in addition to its
germicidal and antiseptic properties, il
counteracts mouth acidity and cor

 In 1899 we went to The Hague in the hope and expectation of an in- ternational world court. Our dele gates were instructed by John Hay then Secretary of State, to propose an international court and in very dramatic way they carried it through.

 Two Departments

Settling down to routine business after the first furry of organization and installment, the Birmingham civil service commission passed number of rulings regulating the conduct of policemen and firemen and outlining their duties, at a meet ing ill the city hall Monday night Among other rulings. it was held that policeman or fireman should hold himself ready for an emergency at all times, even outside of the hours allotted him in which to work
 Seniority of members of the de- partments in regard to the shifts they should work also claimed the atten- tion of the board. The resolution adopted at the last meeting regard ing seniority was rescinded and a new one substituted. In effect, the new resolution stated that the mem Der of the department who has had the longest continuous service in the department prior to April l, 1925, should have the privilege and right of selecting the shirt on which he should work.
 Temporary appointment by the chief of the department may be made to fill any vacancy until it may be filled in due form from the eligible list, according to a ruling of tne board Monday night Also, leave of absence may be granted by the chief of police for any time up to a year, but the member on leave loses his right while away to any benefits of the pension fund, it was stated.
 Orders were given the chiefs of the police and fire departments to have the rules of conduct and gen. eral regulations read at roll call oi the departments and as often there after as may be thought necessary Religious and political discussions were banned while on duty in the two departments.
 Applications of E. M Nicholson, night watchman, and D. E. Clark and G. F. W. Stephens. both of Cart missions as special officers were granted by the board. Application of George II. Friedman was held up for a change in form.

TYSON GIVEN BED IN .TH E CHIEFS OFFICE
No Place in Jail to Keep Him Sep
 arate From Others

Crowded condition and inadequate housing space of the Birmingham city jail was demonstrated Sunday night, when police authofities were obliged to place c. W. Tyson, confessed mem Der of the gang which kidnapped and flogged pr. J. D. Bowling, in the of- fife of Fred McDuff for the night on account of there being no place in the city jail where he might be kept sep arately from the other prisoners.
 Two other men arrested in connec- tion with the Bowling flogging were in the city jail Sunday night. Sam Cargo, Tarrant City dairyman, was in cell downstairs in the prison and J. F. Ford, Mt. Pinson dairyman, was in cell upstairs. Officers could find no place to put Tyson where he might not be spoken to or possibly intimi- dated by the other two prisoners i'm plicated by his confession, and were obliged to place him in the chiefs office With blanket on which to pass the night.
 Another feature of the city jail off, ten deplored is the fact that there are no solitary cells at distance from the main section of the prison where insane persons may be placed so that their rawlings will not disturb the other prisopeys. Practically all ne- gro prisoners are worked hard on the streets during the day and it is said that their sleep at night is often bro- ken by insane persons or ravinE trunks,
 City commissioners are considering somo solution of the problem raised by the condemnation on account f unsanitary coalitions of the city Jail by Dr. Glenn Andrews, state prison inspector. pr. Andrews has called the attention of the commissioners to the faot that the jail Is an unsafe place for white man to spend a time sentence. In cases where sen tences are given, pr. Andrews told the commission, provisions must be made for confining them elsewhere.
