BARDOLPH SELLS
 BIRMINGHAM CORD
Tires Made In Birmingham Giving Good Service

Monk Bardolph, so we'll known to Birmingham motorists, is now busily introducing Birmingham cords to his many friends. Monk says that Bir- mingham people should buy Birming- ham cords not alone because they are made in Birmingham by Birmingham people, but also because they have every essential quality of satisfactory service.
 Birmingham cords are made in Bir- mingham and by the Murray Brothers, long in the tire business as Murray Tire company. The factory is located in North Birmingham and shows a steadily increasing output and an ever widening distribution in Alabama and neighboring states.

WARNS AGAINST
SHOE POISONING
Shoes Treated With Ana
line or NitrO-benzene
Dyes Dangerous.
SHOULD DRY "a HOURS

"A warning against "shoe poisoning"
was issued today by the city health
department. Those shoe parlors which
advertise "shoes dyed while you wait"
may have an unpleasant surprise in
store for their patrons, 1t was stated.
During the past six months several
cases of analine and nitrobenzine pois-
oning have been reported to state
medical authorities. Investigation of
these cases by the medical staff of
the University of Wisconsin has re-
vealed that in practically all cases the
shoes were worn too soon after being
dyed and the result was that the poison
was absorbed through the skin.
The symptoms which follow the alb
sorption of nitrobenzene or analine
poison are striking, it was stated.
Within few hours after putting on
pair of freshly dyed shoes the
patient becomes blue, particularly at
grades of cyanosis, in which the face
becomes blue, may accompany this
form of poisoning.
Get En- Of.
The immediate treatment for this
condition is to take the shoes off at
once If the case is not too far de-
veloped this condition may disappear
in a few hours. Dizziness may also
accompany the other symptoms.
Shoes which are dyed with dyes
containing either analine or nitroben-
zene, should be allowed to dry for at
least twenty-four hours before being
worn, 1t was stated.
