to entertain the public. The startling
feature was parade that extended from
a point in front of the postoffice down
Second street to Chestnut and out
Chestnut to Front street, distance of
three blocks. The parade was made up
of farmers, leaving the store of Wyman

Mccormick or Champion reaper. or a
bran new Mitchell wagon, which
they had purchased from that well
known firm. There were just 40 in line
The machines had been received in time

EPIDEMIC OF TYPHOID.
People of Salna Struggling With This
Disease.


While the health authorities Of Utah
county are struggling with smallpox.
the authorities Of Sewer county are
experiencing an epidemic Of typhoid
fever. According to reports received
by Dr. Beatty from Salina, the people
OF that town have been coming down
with the fever for several weeks past
and a very large percentage Of the en-
tire population has been afflicted with
the disease.
Dr. Beatty at once suspected that the
disease was contracted through the
water supply of the town and advised
the local health authorities to urge the
people TO boil their drinking water
The town is supplied partly from
bitches and surface wells. A bottle Of
the water from one Of the wells was
sent to this city for analysis by City
Chemist Harms, who found that II was
full OF typhoid germs. The source OF
infection was traced to Salna canyon,
wher q gang OF railroad construction
men were camped during the summer
A conflict OF authority arose between
the town and county officials when
the matter Of cleaning up the canyon
was preached, hence 1t was not cleaned
up until several days ago, when the
county officials began the work
Realizing that the water supply OF
town or city is ever a source Of typhoid
infection, the state board OF health Is
continually urging that the streams
and water supply be protected from
CONTAMINATION.

SICKNESS IN SCHOOLS.
Inspector Whitney Takes important
Steps to Prevent II.

Medical Inspector u. w. Whitney of
the public schools has adopted a new
method for contendng with sickness In
the schoolroom He has printed medi-
cal report slips, containing a list of
seventeen common ailments that school
children are subject to, Under each
disease is printed suggestion as to what
10 do with children afflicted with that
particular aiment Another paragraph
calls the attention Of the parents TO
what the results may be If the disease
or physical imperfection is neglected.
The report is also provided with blank
spaces for the name Of the pupil, the
affllcton from which he is suffering and
any suggestion that the medical in
spector may make 10 the parents.
When the children are examined by
the medical inspector and anything Is
discovered the matter with them, one
Of these reports is filled out and sent TO
the parents Of the child. The attention
Of the parents is in this way called to
any lmperfectlon that the child may

Is made that the family physician be
consulted Immediately.

try the same postage rates are applied
as are imposed ON mail within this

Of the greatly increased volume OF post
al business and the number OF transac-
tons between this country and Europe
the foreign rate "a held to be entirely
