Waiting for Report.
DR.. T. B. Beatty, secretary of the
| state board of health is waiting for a
report from the city health officials on
! the number of patients and the source
of their milk supply before taking fur
/ Their action against the dairymen of
BOuntiful and Woods Cross. 1t is
! stated that thirty three patients in an
area of a half mile square on the north
{ east U1ltCIl oil LGOh HIN lIOt4l OllG VI
| the three diaries against which Quaran-
tine has been established at the order
Of Dr.. F. S. BasCOm, president of the
state board of health. According to
/ DR.. Beatty last night, the embargo will
! probably be continued for another day
or two, or until conditions are i'm
/ proved and made sanitary.
/ Several new cases have developed
along Canyon road. Ruth Squires, 6
! years old, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
/ w. c. Squires, 254 Canyon road, is be
lieved to have typhoiG rever, but this
will be known definitely this morning.
/ Stella Angel, 267 Canyon road, is also
| believed to have typhoid fever. Both
took milk from the Moss Brothers DAT
| ~, which has been stopped deliv-
ering milk in the city.
! Boil every bit of wau,. ana milk,
and clean thoroughly all fruit and
/ vegetables" is the urgen5 advice given
/ by DR.. NJ. r. Stewart city health COM
missioner, and seconded by DR.. Bas-
com. They believe certainly that the
disease has started from the diaries at
/ Woods Cross, but other preventive
methods should be taken to guard
| against spread of the disease, they de-
clare.
Last night the city dairy and food
f commissioner was busy making out
list of all the victims in Salt Lake for
DR.. T. B, Beatty. This will give the
residence of each, the length of time i'll
| and the dairy from which milk has been
taken. This will be used by the sec
rotary of the state board in following
up the case against the Woods Cross
| daiTies to see that every precaution IS
/ taken before they are allowed to ship
milk into Salt Lake. 1t is believed that
( this viii be allowed within another two
/ OF three days. The cows will have to
/ be taken away from their present pas
/ lures, according to the edict of the
state board, and other precautions will
| have to be taken to guard against a
spread of the disease.
! Several of the Woods Cross dairy
men yesterday waited upon DR.. Beat
/ ty and upon the city commissioner. de-
/ handing that the embargo be raised
and that they be allowed to again ship
milk into the city. The health officials
] believe they cannot take the risk and
! viii not again allow the milk into the
| city before they feel safe that cOndi-
/ tons have been Uemedied-
City Officials Inactive.
| Practically nothing was done yester-
| day by the city health officials in the
! typhoid fight DR.. NJ. r. Stewart took
! no action and the dairy and food COM
/ missioner was alone busy, with James
! Z. Flynn, emergency man. II is be
/ lieved that DR.. 5. G. Paul, assistant city
! health commissioner, who has been at
his home i'll for two days will again be
| in service today to continue the inves-
| legations. Chemist Herman Harms was
/ in ogden yesterday for expert testimo-
ny before court, and will not continue
| the Investigations into the purity Of the
canyon waters until Friday.
Though the neighbOThOod wherein
/ most of the typhoid cases have been
| found is supplied by water mains from
/ City Greek canyon, no tests of the
water there has been ordered by the
city board of health. A few days ago
James z. Flynn, emergency man, and
DR.. S. G. Paul, assistant city health
] commissioners, drove up City creek
/ about seventeen miles to investigate
conditions, but took no samples Of the
/ water. Samples have been taken of
water in Parley's canyon, and others
/ will be taken from Emigration and Big
! Cottonwood, but nothing has been done
in regard to City creek.
Many complaints have been made re-
| garding the impurity Of the water in
| City creek. Investigations have shown
the patrolmen along the canyon, for
which the city has just allowed SIS a
/ month extra for horse feed, have al
| lowed the canyon road to get into the
| most deplOrable condition in years, and
/ all kinds of filth has been pouring into
the creek at each successive rain. Many
/ hold to the opinion that the epidemic
may have been caused partly by the
water in one of the canyons as well as
! from the milk
No tests of the City creek water
/ have been taken. and the city board Of
/ health has evidently made no prepara-
lions to investigate this matter
Talks to Hygiene Class.
/ John I. Brown, assistant professor of
/ hygiene and physiology at the Univer-
/ sity of Utah, delivered a lecture to the
members of the senior normal class in
/ hygiene Wednesday afternoon on the
| typhoid epidemic. He dwelt on the
! causes of the disease and the simple
/ preventiyes which could be used He
| said, in part; Typhoid fever. one Of
/ the most common and most dreaded dis
| eases of the fall of the year, has appar-
/ emily secured a strong foothoId in Salt
] Lake. The causes of the disease are
many, but the most common source of
| infection comes from drinking water
