report on Dr. Friedrich Franz
Triedmauns turtle serum rem
ody for tuberculosis is not re
Rarded us favorable to the German
physician whose declaration that he
had a cure for the white plague was
received with joy by thousands
The report. which is based on find.
ings of experts of the United States
public health service was read at the
annual meeting Of the National Asso-
citation For the Study and Prevention
Of Tuberculosis. The association met
in Washington.
The report i'm effect warns the public
against placing TOO much confidence in
the friedman serum ana advises
tuberculosis sufferers to continue the
regulation treatment prescribed by the
best physicians today
The opinion OF the experts was an.
nounced after they had investigated
thoroughly uinety-four cases Of tuber-
culosiS treated by nr Friedman in
New York. The result Of the serum
treatment in those cases does not jus
tify the confidence in this remedy
which has been inspired by wide
spread publicity" in the language of
the report.
This first official opinion from the
government authorities was accepted
ut once by the association as just
grounds for the passage of a resou-
ton warning the people against being
led astray by improved claims
Dr. Charles l.. Minor of Asheville.
" G, opposed the action on the
ground that it was not strong enough
in condemning DIR. Friedman and his
methods
Text of Resolution.
The resolution finally adopted by the
sicians and others who have been lead
ing in the crusade against the white
plague in this country, is:
Whereas. Widespread publicity has beer
given to the claims of am alleged cure for
tuberculosis.
Resolved, That there is no information
before the National Association For the
Study and Prevention OF tuberculosis 10
justify the belief that any specific cure for
tuberculosis has been discovered which de-
serves the confidence Of the medical pro
fession or lhe people and,
Resolved That it IS the duty OF the pub
lie TO continue unabated an the present
well tried agencies for the treatment and
prevention OF tuberculosis
The governments report was read
by Dr. John f, Anderson, chairman of
the board appointed to investigate the
"cure" In his statement he detailed
the history Of D1. Friedmann's visit to
this country and the governments ne
gotiations with him, DR.. Anderson
said that Dr Friedman willingly fur
aished culture of the organism in his
serum, but declined to divulge the
method of its use in the preparation of
the remedy and would make no def
mite statement as to the antecedeuts of
the culture.
pr. Anderson paid a high tribute to
the authorities of the New York hos
pitfalls for their assistance in impartial
ly conducting the investigations. Up
10 April 10 ninety-four patients rcceiv-
cd the first injection, and it then be
came necessary to inform Dr. Fried
mann that on account of the halung
progress in The demonstrations the
board was forced to limit its studies
to those patients.

SHORT WEIGHT HAY
LOADING is FOUND
City and State Sealers Of Weights
and Measures Make In
spection,

That every little bit helps. especially
when il comes TO Weighing ioose ma :.
appears TO be the general opinion among
hay growers Of the Salt Lake enylrons'
was the opinion formed by T. l.. lrvlno,
cIty sealer OF weights and measures and
c. E Condie. state sealer OF weights ano ano
measures at the close yesterday OF a TWO
days investigation OF scale conditlons.
Mr. Irvine asserts that persons who buy
hay usually get from 2S0 TO $50 POUNDS
less on each load than they pay for
I'VE intend to so after these teliows
strong" the two inspectors united in dc.
claring but they are hard TO eaten. III
every person who buys hay would insist
that 1t be weighed on the city scales
they could be assured Of getting square
deal"
Some OF the farmers go on the theory
of 'every man his own weighmaster ana
weigh their own hay. then Sign their own
Others resort to the expedient Of hiding
men In the load or OF giving thoir wagon
weight incorrectly. These things nave
been tried on the city weighmaster. but
the fraud. 1t appears, however, that the
small town weighmasters are either not
so particular or are in collusion with the
hay owners. for most OF the short loads
have not been weighed
Yesterday afternoon q man was seen
by the state Inspector weighing load
or potatoes with two men on the wagon.
When he returned TO weigh the empty
wagon Il only contained one man The
Inspector insisted that the second man
be weighed also and the driver easily
found the man waiting just around the
corner.
Short weights in coal, -four and bran
we're also investigated and report on
the findings made 10 Willard Hansen,
state dairy and food commissioner. The
inspectors refuse to make any statement
regarding tho coal situation, saying that
their investigation is not yet finished. On
behalf of the grocerymen and others in
al lecla rod hls no
lief that at least 95 per cent OF these
men ara on the sluare.

TO CONSIDER LOWER
FEES FOR LICENSES
Collectors Recommendation Will Be
Taken Up at Meeting Of City
Commission Today.

At todsy.s meeting the city commits
sion Will take under consideration a rec
ommendation by g. L. Whitney, license
collector. that q reduction OF about one
third be rnado In merchants. bankers
stock brokers. motorcycle. real estate
and number OF other special license
taxes.
With this reduction the city's revenue
from special licenses would be decrea sed
about 81, ,09l, according to Mr.. Whitney
but this decrease would be offest prac-
tically by the growth OF the city and the
Increase IN the number OF firms.
Ever since the commission came into
office ways and means of reducing the
special license taxes have been consid-
red. but no equitable means or doing 1;
without heavy loss In revenue could bo
figured out. Proposals 10 abolish many
OF the taxes hive been considered but
abandoned on the ground that TO abolish
one and retain another would be unjust
Mr.. Whitney's proposal of an equal re-
duction In all probability will be acted
upon favorably. the city commission
has felt for come tlIno that the special
license taxes we're too high In many
cases.

"HE first observance Of "Utah
Products day will be set down
in the annals of the state as
having been attended with much
success and enthusiasm. Throughout
the state Utah-made goods and Utah
products were conspicuous IN every
household, store, hotel, restaurant and
cafe. From all sides was heard the call
for home-produced necessities, and
never before have the resources and
manufacturers Of the state received
such extensive and consistent publicity
Salt Lake IS main celebration for the
occasion took place at the Commercial
club at luncheon which was attended
by nearly 500 persons directly inter,
ested in the produce and manutactured
output of the state. Utah articles for
the table and Utah foods were e1cln"
sivelv served, For tho celebration
Lon J. Haddock, in charge of tho OK
tension division of the Agricultural col
lege at Logan, was asked to make an
address. He did not talk long, but he
did point out couvincingly tho oppor~
tunities which arc before Utah TO rank
it with the greatest states in the union
for natural wealth and production.
Benefit of Cooperation.
Tho subject Of Mr.. iaddock al
dress was "The Specific Benefits
Which Are to Re Derived From the
Cooperation of the Entire Citizenship
of tho State lie said in part;
Tho resources and the production
OF the state or Utah are as vet In
their infancy. Considering that tney
have had comparatively few years OF
development they have reached eN-
tensiyc proportions. The produce
and manufactured articles or the
/ state have already taken strong
foothold In the business OF the west,
But the wonderful upbulldtng OF the
manufacturing Industry I'm the state
for the last ten years bespcaks the
enormous possibilities for a wealthy
state in the future.
The immediate possibilities are
great. Utah"ls advancing as fast as
any other state In the union and
with Its vast undcveloped regions to
draw from II Is destined TO take
prominence among other states. Utah
citizens must stand together In max
ing this ono Of the greatest states In
the union and unless the people OF
the state do cooperate the mutual
welfare OF the state can never hope
TO be accomplished.
