SANITATION AND PURE room.
Dc. AIiee Honghton

DIR. Alice HOughtOn.
Through the kindness Of the Wasatch
Literary club Of Salt Lake this COM
mittee has been enabled TO distribute
a dozen copies OF Ritchie's Handbook
Of Sanitation which has been adopted
as standard text book in this state
Six Of these copies were placed in the
I travelling library. and the other six
were sent 70 the clubs which have no
representative on this committee
During the last year there has been
marked Improvement in the cOndi-
ton or groceries and meat markets. ac-
cording 10 the reports We have re-
eeived. In Park City the club has sue
ceeded IN getting an ordinance passed
providing that foodstuffs that cannot
be washed shall be kept covered while
exposed for sale. So far as has been
reported, this Is the only place where
such an ordinance exists, except in Salt
Lake City However in other places.
even where there is no ordinance, N
seems TO be the custom, especially IN
the stores OF the better class, 10 be
more careful in this matter than for
merry. II merchants are convinced
that efforts OF this kind are appreci-
ated, they will make them.
At the present time most Of the
towns in Utah are provided with pub
lie drinking fountains OF the sanitary
type on the streets and al the public
schools. They have been placed in
Ogden quite recently.
AS 10 the matter OF keeping gar
ba ge covered. another attempt is being
made in Salt Lake TO compel this,
though not by this particular COM
mittee. In Park City the clubs sue
ceeded in getting such an ordinance
passed In SpringFille the club has
placed covered receptables for garbage
on the streets In this place the club
has also helped materially in getting
people TO clean up yards, outbuiidings.
etc II is hoped that during the next
year effective ordinances, providing
that all garbage be kept tightly COW
cred during the time that il is neces-
sary 10 keep il at all, will be secured.
In Provo the clubs have eO-Operated
with the branch of the State Health
league IN providing public lectures on
the subjects OF health and sanitation.
In most OF our towns there are or
dinances fOrbidding eXpectOratiOn on
the sidewalks. and in most places there
are cards posted in prominent places
calling attention TO the ordinance.

GENERAL FEDERATION, STATE SEC

When Information is desired BY the out
side world concerning the work here.

necessary that the General Federation

Florence u. jennings.

For two years the committee for
the sale OF Red Cross Christmas stamps
money by selling stamps that IL might
interest the public in the crusade
against the spread OF tuberculosis.
The first winter the stamps arrived
too late for the sales TO be satisfact-
DRY. Last Christmas the reports IN the
newspa pers stating that foreign postal
services refused 10 deliver packages
upon which these stamps were placed.
checked the sale OF them somewhat.
but the committee has ia It's hands az
present the sum OF SS3s-06.
IN the two years OF work we have
equipped a tent completely and loaned
Il 10 two patients who nave been in
desperate need OF Out-of-dOOr life Tn
fortunately. the committee was obliged
TO pay part OF the funeral expenses OF
its first patient II Wo1ld have pre-
ferred 10 have been able 10 report
successful cure.
But the tent equipment has its dis
advantages. as the patients who need
10 be furnished with tent are unable
10 supply themselves with a trained at
tendant. with proper food and medi-
cine. We suggest that. in future. win
dOw-tents properly placed be provided
for those who need 10 sleep out of doors
and better care be provided for the
patients.
But salt lake needs a small tuber-
culOsis hospital. and IL will be but
short time before the city realizes that
there must be one. At present the
public seems unprepared 10 listen to
such needs. II needs a little educat-
ing.
The Red Cross stamp committee can
do little more with its "drop-in-the-
bucket than encourage an interest in
this and do its best TO give the move
ment a start. and We. therefore, sug
gest that the sale OF stamps be NOT
undertaken this Christmas, hut the
energy OF those interested and the
money already obtained be used TO
make the public in city and state feel
the need OF some definite hospital ar
engagements for tuberculosis patients
Another year will We feel, bring with
It greater interest in this move
ment
We would thank the club members
from all parts OF the state who aided
as last year in selling the stamps and
helped US TO awaken public interest.

Committee
In January OF this year. the health
committee made a special lnyestiga-
tiOn OF the crowded condition OF some
OF the third rate rOOming houses in
salt Lake City, and found them great
~ overcrOwded and filthy. This con-
dition was reported 10 the board OF
health.
The splitting nuisance was taken up.
and, with the aid OF the salt Lake
street railway company, the board Of
health and police department, we have
succeeded in having printed placads
forbidding splitting placed in conspicu-
Gus places iE street cars, crowded street
corners ana places where men cOngre-
gate, FOR fl IS q well known fact that
men do most Of the splitting. The eX-
pense OF printing, posting, ETC. was
borne by the hoard OF health. thus
showing tire willingness OF the health
authorities TO cooperate with Us in
this matter.
April 1O-Letter sent 10 Senator
Sutherland. Washington. u. g. endOrs-
ing the owen bill. a bill for the es-
Enlistment or a federal department OF
health under a secre tary OF health. who
shall be a member Of the cabinet. This
bill would coordinate and consolidate
the present varied and scattered ac-
tivities OF the national government hav-
ing 10 do with human health. and IL
Is felt 20 be in principle the only ade-
uuaIe solution OF the great problem
OF health conservation, 10 which the
nation il al last waking up.
In April a meeting was called by
Mrs Mcmahon Tor the purpose Of es-
tablishing an infants milk station.
where. fresh. pure milk could be oh

The project was Al once put on foot
By the establishment OF a milk depot
at the Brigham Street Pharmacy. cor
ner Of i and south Temple streets. A

an additional small expense incurred

Fixing Things.

There are so many factional SQUAD
bles for the leaders OF the Republi-
can party in this state TO adjust that
their time will be full occupied in
fixing things" to the exclusion of
everything else from this time until
election day, if they attempt to do
full Justice to the situation. The
morning trust organ mentioned seven
or eight counties in which it alleges
that deliberate attempts are being
made by Republicans to defeat the
Republican nominees. In one or
two counties Governor are said to
have induced one set of candidates
to withdraw, while in other couties
in which the thermometers have been
at work conditions are said TO be
worse than before as a result of their
meddling.
The newspaper trust does not give
the real reason for the factional war
fare in the various counties. The
local leaders are not fighting one an
other for the purpose of electing Dem
ocrats. That result may follow, and
probably will, but the prime causes
of the contentious within the ranks
are dissatisfaction over the distribu
ton of the plumes on the one hand
and the disgust of decent voters with
the unseemly scramble for Office or
the other hand The party has been
In power so long in this state that II
has become a series of rings within
rings, and their subordination of tbs
public welfare to personal advantage
has Disguised patriotic citizens.
Certain leaders may FIX things" tc

THE TWO POTS

Whatever may become of the In
surgent contingent in the Republi
can party, one cannot help admiring
the stand it is taking. These men.
who still claim to believe in the prin-
ciples of RepublicanIsm, have broken
away from their party because it has
broken faith with the people, utterly
failed to carry out it's pledges and
because it is dominated by trust-serv.
ing bosses. Both FACTIONS may be
characterized as standpatters. The
Insurgent says he is stadlng pat on
his party platform, that he believes
when a cause is espoused, when a
promise is made there should be a
righteous effort toward accomplish
ment, while the regular standpatter
says as much, but acts in an opposi
ton. In other words he is standing
pat on error-standing pat on the
record of his party which is a record
OF broken promises. In West Vir
ginia he is standing pat on the fail
ure OF his party to submit the pro
hibiton amendment, enact a direct
primary law, an employers liability
act and standing pat on a record Of
unbridled extravaganza in the admin

SELECTING SEED CORN.

Better Run Risk Of Frost Than Pick
the Ears Too EARLY.
The first step toward better seed
corn for next year must be taken in
the fall by selecting the seed ears
from the stalks In the field The corn
should ~ allowed to mature well on
the stalk. BY selecting the earliest
maturing ears and picking them from
the stalk as soon as the husks begin to
turn yellow, which is common prac-
tice. earliness is secured at the expense
OF vitality, writes Professor Moore of
the University Of Wisconsin i'm the
American Agriculturist
slight frost will not injure corn If
1t is well matured. and Il is better to
run the risk OF a frost than to pick the
ears too enrly. The latter part of the
growing season seems to improve the
vitality Of the corn greatly.
Care should be taken,i in picking seed
to secure ears which are attached to
the stalk about three feet above the
ground. Those ears which grow either
very high or very low upon the stalk
should he rejected, rs they are unde-
sirable having characteristics which
we do not desire. For the same rea-
son we should avoid selecting ears
with very short or long shanks or
tfom defOrmed stalks.
Go into the field after the husks on
the ears have turned yellow and Sc
lect the we'll formed ears from good
stalks. Put them i'm sacks or baskets
and bring them 10 the side OF the field
and husk. II is we'll TO follow definite
rows I'm securing seed corn, otherwise
large number Of good ears are
missed. After the corn Is huskcd many
/ ears will he found imperfect and
/ should be discarded. Only hose ears
, should be retained for curing Tor seed
/ that are Of good form. Seed corn
/ should be put into the proper place for
! curing the same day that it is taken
