Utah's Illness Largely Due
to filth and UnCleanlinesS

Filth aud uncleanllness are blamed for
much OF the illness prevalent in Utah at
the present time. by Secretary T. b.
Beatty OF the Utah state board OF health,
in his report for the month Of February.
The report says, in part:
Filth and uncleanliness are directly or
indirectly responsible for most Of the
diseases now known to be preventable; !;
these include all contagious or communi- :
cable diseases and cause the death OF
more than two-fifths Of the human race.
The forms of uncleanliness which exact
such a terrible penalty include filthy
bodies from insufficient bathing; nlthy
houses. from gross neglect of good house
keeping; filthy air. from neglect of venti-
lation filthy premises from allowing the
accumulation of garbage and other
refuse. including unsanitary outhouses:
nlthy water from contaminated surface
wells and bitches: and filthy personal
habits. such as promiscuous splitting. All
these deadly and offensive conditions are
easily avoidable and utterly ineXcusable.
Nature furnishes an abundance OF water
with which 10 bathe the body and main
tain clean habitations; also II may be
secured pure and free from contamina
tion for drinking purposes. Pure air Is
universal except where Ii is deliberately
excluded from their houses by people who
choose TO poison themselves with foul. re-
breathed air In tightly closed rooms.
"It is recommended that a campaign

is especially necessary that this action
shall be taken before the ly season, as
these dangerous pests arc almost eN
clusively propagated in filth and manure,
the accumulation OF which should not be
permitted. All clubhouse vaults should be
made flyproof and maintained in strictly
sanitary condition.
Health officers and other town and
county authorities are urged TO earnestly
join in carrying out these lifc-saving
measures. and the state board OF health
Will assist and cooperate whenever re-
quested."

NORTHWESTERN MAN
TALKS AT HIGH SCHOOL

The senior and junior students at the
nigh school were given a treat Monday
morning In the second period when A.
w, Harris president OF Northwestern
university at Evanston. H.. gave a talk,
President Harris's chief thought was for
the students to make the most OF their
time. Mr.. Harris did not give a lecture
but just a plain everyday talk and
every student highly enjoyed all that was
said. 1t was the first affair of the kind
this year and 1t will have It's good ef-
fects.
President Harris touched upon after
life and stated that although a high
school graduate could not make as much
progress along certain line as some
shopman who had spent the greater part
OF his life at the one thing. he could
make more out Of life because he could
meet the unexpected things. President
Harris talked upon several other i'm
portant subjects and he was given un-
divided attention by the 400 students
during the entire hour that he con.
sumed.
Talks like tba. by President Harris
make the most impression upon high
school students and Principal Eaton vii
make an effort to obtain a few more be
