SANITARY INSPECTOR
IS VERY BUSY MAN
Contagious Diseases Reported
From Many Small Towns
Throughout State.

That the approach of spring is not an
unmixed blessing is proven by the many
scattering little cases of reported CON
tagious and communicable diseases re-
ported from the small towns through
out the State, The State Sanitary In
spector is a busy man these days, for
il is up to him to ferret out the hidden
causes of the trouble, and he usually
finds it. for the State Board of Health
has peculiar prejudice against impure
water and unhygienic sanitary condi-
tions and goes on the assumption that
there is no outbreak of disease without
a cause.
Yesterday communications were re-
ceived from the Health officer at Provo,
who reports seven cases of meningitis
in the little town, with two deaths. He
also reports that the schools have been
dlsinfected, the houses quarantined aud
the public in general warned against
any 1apses in the matter of cleanliness
and care of health.
From Murray comes the news that n
mild form of smallpox has been discov-
several suspects. This will be inves
tlgated thoroughly by the State Board,
and if necessary quarantine measures
taken.
DR.. Robertson Of Sandy reports two
cases Of cerebro spinal meningitis of
the epidemic variety at Hartman,
near Sandy. The cases of the menin-
gifts throughout the State are rather
scattered and do not seem TO point
towards any communication of lnfec-
tion between towns at all,
The reason, according to DR.. Clark,
that the spring has in its train so many
ills is that the water supply is not
watched carefully enough nor the re-
fuse heaps, for the first warm rays of
the sun bring out from the refuse heaps
the millions of dangerous little bacilli,
while the water sweeping from the
mountains has dangers Of it's own.
.'When we can get the people aroused
fully TO their danger, declared mem
ber Of the State board; "when we get
them to realize that it is not our prob
lem, but theirs, and concerns vitality
themselves, children and friends, then
we will be given the power to go ahead,
and after we have found these condi-
tions to exist, to remedy them. At pres
ent it is simply case OF finding out
the cause of the trouble, after that we
are powerless.

It was stated that the vice president

section; that the northeast line was a
paying ore, and its patrons shoJld re-
ceive better treatment.
They pointed out that on account Of
The crowded condition OF the traffic
patrons were unable at times % get
