SAFETY COUNCIL
 TO BE DIRECTED
 BY LOCAL GROUP
Headquarters Moved From Washington To Bir-
 mingham

i Activities of the James A. Holmes Safety council will be directed from central organization at Birmingham instead of at the Washington offices of the bureau of mines, following the formation here Wednesday of the cen tral council. At meeting attended by prominent coal min. officials from va rious parts of the mineral district, the council elected Milton H. Fies as chairman, with J. J. Forbes of the bu- reau of mines, vice president. The sec- retary selected was Charles F. Vince lock, associated with Moss and Mo- Cormack.
 The council will be the central unit which will supply speakers, programs and information to the chapters To- cated in various mining communities in ar effort to reduce the safety hazards of Alabama mine operations. While there has been striking progress made in safety work during the past few years, it is said that there is still an appalling number of accidents which, because of their isolation do not create a widespread impression, but when re- ported in the aggregate annually, lndi- cate that much remains to be done to correct the conditions.
 The ambition of the council which :, bears the name of the late Dr. James A. Holmes, for years director of the bureau of mines, is to organize the smaller units and keep them active and doing worthwhile work along safety lines at all times. It is to supply this energy from Birmingham which called for the organization of the central council.
 The executive committee named at the meeting consist of the chairman, vice chairman, and secretary, with the addition of James l.. Davidson and Dan McDonough. The activities for the first six months will be outlined by con- mittee consisting of c. H. Nesbit. chief mine inspector; Martin Walsh, l.. E. Geohegan and James M. Cobb. The second committee is composed of c. F. and William Goodwin.
 Chapters of the council have already been formed in nineteen mine communi- ties in this and adjoining counties and it is stated that the central council at Birmingham will initiate steps with out delay to increase the organizations, so that the coal industry will be com pletely covered by the chapters, each doing necessary work in certain locali- ties to promote the interest of safety movements.
 Chapters already organized include those at New Castle, Parrish, Booth ton, Beltona, Altoona, Winonah, Shan non, Majestic, Acton, Overton, Acmar. Marguerite, Empire, Carbon Hill and Holley Grove.
 The first committee of the council headed by Inspector c. H. Nesbit, held a meeting last Wednesday afternoon in the offices of the bureau of mines in the basement of the federal building. Several steps to be taken to forward the work were outlined and it is be- lieved there will be several meetings held at various points during the next few weeks.

 It is remarkable how many cases havebeenreported similar to this one. Many mothers are left in a weakened and rundown condition after child birth, and for such mothers the care of the baby is well-nigh impossible. Not only is it hard for the mother, but the child itself will indirectly suffer.
 Lydia E. Pinlsham's Vegetable Com pound is an excellent tonic for the mother both before and after child. birth. It is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and can be taken in safety by nursing mothers.
