HEALTH OFFICER LAYS DOWN LAW TO 10 DAIRYMEN
'Pasteurize Milk Or Cease Operation, Is
 Ultimatum

Either pasteurize your milk or cease distribution with q hours
 . This utlimatum was served Wednes- day by Dr. J. D. Dowlingfi health of ficer, on 10 dairymen who are charged with having operated without health department permits and sold bootleg milk in the city.
 Dr. Bowling said the serving of these notices marked the first step in cam paign of health authorities to rid Bir- mingham territory of bootleg" milk. The action followed a protest to the city commission Tuesday by. a dele gation of leading dairymen that this so-called 'ibootleg" milk was seri- ous menace to health.
 According to Dr. Bowling, there are less than 40 dairymen. who are operat- ing without the law. These are divided into groups of about 10 operators each, and ultimatums on the, others will be served during the. week, he said. Milk permits expired Tuesday, and the health department will renew au- tomat tically the permits of all dealers who are complying with the law. Eighty per cent of the dairymen are doing this, Dr. Dowing said.
 The department intends to put the re- maining 20 per cent out of business unless they bring their operations up to city standards and obtain permits.

MERIT OFFICERS WILL BE NAMED
Will Supervise Recognition For
 Police And Firemen :

With the first day of the new merit and demerit system of the police de- pertinent passed satisfactorily, officials of the department now are preparing t" put the plan into full effect by the ap- pointment, next Monday, of three sm. perior officers to rule on questions of conduct by members of the department
 The merit and demerit system, au- thorized for use in the local force re- gently by the civil service board, prt vides a schedule of values for all good work done by a police officer and for and unbecoming conduct. Merit points are given for unusual work, for bravery and for commendation by a superior of ficer. Demerits are given in case of an officer being found guilty at trial before the civil service board and for various types of unseemly acts.
 The merit scheme provides sleeve iii. signia for officers who have been in the service six months prior to Janu- ary, 1925, and when an officer attains a standing of 50 merits higher than the 100 which are given him at the start he will receive public recognition.
 The demerit system contains n pro- vision requiring the chief of police to file charges of unfitness against any of ficer who receives 75 demerits during the course of one years service. These charges will be heard by the civil serv- ice board, which will conduct a public trial,

of gratitude I owe to the south I lived in the north when I was twice nom mated. The south helped as far as it could in the giving of electoral votes. More than that, the south has helped this, nation secure every economic re- form it has secured in 50 years.
 South Is Lauded
 Some people have said you can't nominate man from the south. We have had two wars since the Civil war and the sons of the Gray and sons of the blue have marched side by side and were ready to die on the battlefield l remind you that the south furnished as many soldiers for the late World war as it furnished to the confederacy.
 "They also furnished more money to do our part in the, world war than it furnished to the confederacy.. It is time we should hush forever the voice xhat would exclude the south from par ticiation inu our party's welfare and the nations.
 "The man who says that the north will not vote for southern man libeIs the north.
 What this nation wants is a man whose heart beats in sympathy with the common people. They don't care where he was born or were he lives.
 Turns To North .s
 My first northern man is Samuel RalstOn from Indiana. He is progress sive with good record for work done in his state and nation through the democratic party. l..
 My next man from the north is E. T. Meredith of Iowa. He was in the Presidents cabinet and was an honor to the cabinet. He was long been iden- tified with the farmers and he knows their needs. Farmers constitute % per cent of the population and their con ditions presents piteons appeal to the nation.
 If you'll pardon me, my next north. ern man has the misfortune to be my brother" Booes and rude laughter in terrupted.
 You don't have to take my word for it" Bryan said. You can turn to his record. The 50,O0O majority given him in Nebraska is. better than my word. Take the record by which he pro-

ADVERTISING MEN
 SUBMIT CAMP PAIGN .TO.SAVE' MARKET
Standardization and Price
 Reduction Among Ideas Offered

Employing of a merchandising ex- pert to .'sell'' the municipal market to the people, and standardization and re- Huction of prices through cooperative 2 buying, would put the market on . pay :, ing basis in short time, according to recommendations made to CorRmlssloner \ w. l.. Harrison Wednesday by com mittee of advertising men.
 MT. Harris was pleased with the re. port. He described it as constructive" and announced the commission would carefully consider the recommendations at an early meeting.
 The recommendations were signed by Fred J. Holberg, Morton Simpson, A. c, Silverman, Baxter M. Eastburn, Claybon Patterson, Thad Holt and Tompkins Irish.
 Birmingham may well feel proud of it's market, which cannot be excelled by any market known to this committee" the report said. The sanitary refriger- ation system, the direct supervision by the health department, the extreme cleanliness, and the convenience in con- centrated buying were mentioned by the committee as some of the markets dis tinct advantages.
 ; Special prices should be made from time to time on various commodities which should be the same throughout the market" the advertising experts recommended.
 q! Recommend Parking
 "A definite basis should be determ- ined upon so that the produce sold by the market may be sold at1a, price not greater, and frequently less, than what it might be purchased for elsewhere. This can be accomplished by syndicate buying, where one man will purchase enormous quantities for the market as a whole"
 The committee recommended that parking in the vicinity of the market be limited to 20 minutes; that inter. s5changeable coupon be issued; that an appeal be made to womep's clubs and ' ministers to bring the markets ad- vantages before the people,. 9nd that the newspapers be asked to@co-operate. Our opinion is," the report con- .cluded, "that a first-class and high calibre merchandise man. could quickly show results which would more than compensate the slight expense that might be entailed. The market must be { sold to the people, and the selling must be done by man experienced in that line of business. When once sold to the ! people, it will be thronged with shop pers." .'..
 Commissioner Harrison said some of the recommendations were not being carried out, and that as soon as the rents at the market are increased 35 per cent the commission would be in a position to consider the remaining arecOmmendations z$-%

CHERRY ROBINS NEW RESIDENTS
 OF BIRMINGHAM

ND ESIDENTS of West End in h the vicinity of the Baptist
 hospital daily are greeted by the cheery chirp of four robin red breasts which have made their home in a gigantic oak nearly.
 Persons who know the bird and its habits express surprise that a robin should nest in the south. By nature he is cold weather bird and na- tive of Canada.
 The annual influx of the robin southward generally begins with the approach of cold weather, though often an entire winter will pass without one being seen in the south. Usually the robin migrates to q warmer climate in case the winter north becomes too severe. At the approach of spring. however, the red breasts become fewer and fewer in the south until by warm weather not one remains.
 The call of robin first attracted the attention of a bird lover near the Baptist hospital several weeks ago. Being acquainted. with the na- nature of the robin, he expressed belief that it was mocking bird, but investigation disclosed the fact that four of the robins have made their home in Birmingham at least temporarily. They were at first ex- tremely shy, but of late have been noted in the street and one of the ' little strangers even ventured on the front porch of nearby house several mornings ago. Now they have become part of the daily life of the neighborhood and have be- come accustomed to seek their crumbs about the yards of the houses they visited.

 Then I mention the name of a man from Montana, Thomas J.. Walsh. He is your presiding officer. As a lawyer he has no superior. As a statesman he has few equals. As an investigator, he is above them all.
 Plays Al Smith
 Bryan paid his repect to Al Smith, and further inflamed the governors packers when he declared: .
 Our candidate must be man whose record on the liquor question is such that every mother will know that her home will be protected. I have given you the names of men whose posi- tion, will not be questioned on the matter of law enforcement"
 . Fighting for the rejection of any reaetionary candidate, Bryan proceed to his .climax-progressivis and Me Adoo.
 Now I mention one who made it possible for us to have a progressive platform. If he had not made the fight we would not have progressive con- vention today. The man who is en- titled to the credit, whether fyou nom- mate him or not, is William Gibbs McAdoo."
 The storm burst. Political passions sent protests roaring to the roof.
 In the midst of the tumult, one of the nations great political figures bowed nasty; embarrassed adieu to the American public.
 William Jennings Bryan had passed from the scene, ruthlessly discarded as a leader of his party.
