Third Session of State Health Officers
Brings out Valuable Addresses.

The state health convention held a
third session this morning at the coun-
~ building, being called to order short
ly after 10 O'Clock by Chairman u. o.
Miner considerable falling off In the

having only calculated on remaining
over ono day.
The meeting this morning was large
~ occupied by discussion. general sub
jects of disease and sanitation com.
ing In for their share of consideration.
Dr. stewart, Of Mt Pleasant, had some
decided IDEAS as to the spreading of
tuberculosis. or consumption He snid
that the disease was often acquired
by the common usage OF the commun-
ION cup. and by consumptives who
come INTO the country to settle He
also advocated the Keeping out of
schools of consumptivc children. who
he claimed. should not be permitted to
attend schools for their own. as we'll
as the benefit Of others.
one physician In discussing consump-
tioh' said he was Of the opinion that
consumption, i'm its second stage, was
durable. He contends that IL was NOT
difficult disease to handle. and that
all that was required was the enforce
ment of hygienic conditions. plenty of
fresh air ana OF good substantial food.
The item OF expense, in his opinion.
should not be considered, as life was in
the balance.
y, NJ. IsIpelson OF Hyrum said TO
many people the expense was a con-
siderable Item, ana even in the report
ing OF diseased animals farmers were
sometimes slow. for the reason that
they could not afford to stand the ex-
pense Of the loss Of the cow. or horse.
or hog. He thought tho state should
stand part of the expense when any
animal was condemned for disease. ana
farmers would be- more likely to report
their diseased animals.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Thcatcr-The largest audience which
has greeted Charles r. Hanfurd for a
number OF years IN Salt Lake came out
last night TO see his presentation OF
Shakespeare's Antony g. Cleopatra.
Tho greater part OF the turnout was
made up Of country visitors. who are
more inclined to serious entertainment
than the average first nighter OF the
Salt Lake theater. Antony and Gle
opatrH' Is play rarely seen on the
boards ln this generation. Fanny Da-
vonpurt gave q modern rendering OF
It some years ago under the name of
cleopatra" but her version came from
the pen OF Sardou. The Shakespearean
version Is less dramatic and vastlS
more talky. but Mr. Ianford has
mounted II with generosity, and gives
"a fine presentation from the production
standpoint As for his own role, he
has the necessary physique but his
voice contains too much OF the Jolly

ideal deliueator OF Shakespearean he
