s deaths. OF the 80 cases of typhoid last
month Salt Lake had IA, and Salt Lake

Supplementary TO the report the secre-
tary, DR. T. b. Beatty. issues the fol-
lowing:
Health officers or others who expect
to attend the International tuberculosis
congress- which convenes in Washington.
d. c. Sept - are requested to advise
the state board of health, in order that
they may be appointed delegates from
Utah.
THE meeting will be of such great i'm
portance that the state should be well
represented. and it would be a good in
vestroert for each of tho larger towns 70
send a delegate at the public expense.
THE failure of physicians to report all
cases of typhoid fever is responsible for
much of the prevalence of the disease,
and health officers are urged to strictly
enforce the law When reported an ef-
fort should be made to discover the source
of infection, especially with reference to
the water and milk supply. and the dlsin-
lection of excreta should in all cases .e
insisted upon. See sections i, and 8,

turned from his outing in Provo canyon,

be held this week. at which the judges

putting up of tents in various parts OF
the grounds, in which old persons and
women and children can find shelter and

THINKS PROBLEM IS SOLVED
Mayor Bransford Endorses Project to
Remove Red Lights to
New District.

Mayor John S Bransford is much inter-
ested in the project to remove the red
light district to the new location pre-
scribed by the Citizens Investment com
pany, and believes it will for all time
solve the question OF regulating the so
called social evil'' in Salt Lake. With
these houses segregated from the rest of
the community and with ample police pro-
lection and restrictions he believes that
many of the criminal element who haunt
from the city.
The mayor has interviewed large num-
Der of property owners on Commercial
street as to the move. and with hardly an
exception, he says, they expressed them
selves as favorable. The mayor says that
they all consider that the property on that
thoroughfare will increase rapidly in value
and in the course of two or three years
the old character Of the street will be
forgotten and it will become a business
center.

Mother Wants Her Two Children
Taken From Stepfather and
Placed in 0rphanage.

placed by the order of the Juvenile court.
instead of at the residence of their step
father. Robert o. Baker, whom she is su-
ing for divorce.
She brought the children TO the juve-
nile court office yesterday, followed close
~ by the husband. To ]. L. Eldredge.
ST., clerk OF the court, she told her story
and asked that the children be placed In
the orphanage again. The boys seemed
to be very fond of their stepfather and
II was difficult to separate them from
him. He Is a gardener at the NJ. II.
Walker farm, in Little Cottonwood, and
he says that he has always treated his
wife and her children well. He explained
that everything was going along nicely in
the home when suddenly his wife packed
up and left. and the next thing he knew
the children were in the orphanage and
his wife had brought suit for divorce, al
leging cruelty.
Clerk Eldredge endeavored TO reconcile
the couple, but Mrs. Baker would not
consent to go back to her husband.
Baker offered to take her back and pur-
chase some new clothes for the young
sters, but this did not have any effect.
The children will be returned TO the
orphanage pending the settlement of the
divorce case

There is no question but that the
tariff should be reduced. as the Repub-
licans themselves, in their platform.
pave declared for revision. So the real
question is not whether the tariff should
be revised, but which party the people
should entrust with this great work
Republicans have had the executive
and both branches of congress for the
last twelve years. and they have never
removed the tariff from any COM
modify except once temporarily during
the coal famine.
Last winter they declared that the
tariff should be reduced, but as a
presidential election was coming on
and a reduction might interfere with
the prospects of the Republican party.
they decided to postpone action until
after the presidential election. By that
act they confessed that they put the
interests of their party above the in
terests of the people. Hence they can
not complain now that their sincerity
is doubted and their new promises are
not believed. 1t is evident that the
whole program is simply a scheme and
