for some public service with gold
watch, Of which lie was very proud,

the grand jury bets We're made by

Mr.. Scllgman, himself a Hebrew, dis
cussing the future OF his people in this

and that nature lends it's help. lie rea-
sons In This wise; The pheasant Ia as
brown as the forest leaves in which it
hides. The squirrel can jump from one

and the mechanical trades the Jew
adapted himself TO other things. He
had to live, and therefore, TO work But
there are Unborn characteristics among
the Jews. The jew takes profound
interest In the thing he has TO do. He
gives his business all of his time and
talent. A moral man, he loves his
home and is there when he is not at
his store, bank or other place of en-
ptoyment
Another characteristic of the jew and
one that particularly interests the Lat
ter-day Saints is set forth by Mr.. selig-
man in an article in the New York
World. He says from Abraham down
the jew has venernted and obeyed his
father. There is a head TO every Jew

dren there is more than the usual bono
of affection, loyalty and helpfulness'
He maintains that there are very few

THE SPOTTED FEVER SCARE.

Said a leading Salt Lake physician
this morning: 1T will be just as well
for the people not to lose their heads
over the spinal meningitis or spotted
fever scare. If they do, they may lose
their lives as well. Like many another
dreaded disease, 1t lays hold more
easily when the mind is in a state of
fear, and when a sort of mental retreat
is In progress
There is no doubt much truth in the
above statement, and 1t will be well fol
the people here to govern them
selves In accordance with these Views.
The proper observance of few general
health rules will ordinarily ward off
the malady. Dissipation and excuses
of every kind should be avoided. The
full quota of rest had, and plenty OF
fresh air let into sleeping apartments
and the home generally. Wholesome
food only should be eaten and every
thing that conduces to fever conditions
guarded against. All this will aid
In preventing the disease from Sc
curing a hold on the system. The truth
at all times in the interest of good
health, and IL they We're there would be
far less sickness in the community than
there now is But the advice given has
particular reference to the threatened
epidemic of cerebro-spinal meningitis,
which has stricken terror to the
hearts Of some parents and which is so
deadly in it's ravages. The common
idea that children only are attacked by
1t is grave mistake. The serious ILL
ness of many adults prove that they
are not immune from it.
There is no reason to be unduly
frightened. The main thing is for all
to go calmly about their daily avoca-
tons, doing everything possible to
prevent condition of mental recep-
uvity which physicians say is so ia
vorahle to the contraction and spread
of the cerebral or spotted fever germ.

1t can easily he believed that less
money has been paid out for the street
department the last year than the pre-

any basis for just comparison. Dur

the sums of money ostensibly expend-
ed for street improvements. They GER
tainly did not show in the depths of
mud that adorned the streets.
On moral questions the eulogy is. of
course, entirely silent. And yet, those
are of great interest. The fact is that
the American party officials" If that Is
their proper title, have proved them
selves utterly Indifferent to the spread
