New York, Feb. THE British
passenger liner California, one of the
crack ships Of the Anchor line fleet,
has been sunk off the coast of Ire

Messages to the state department at

catastrophe. but did not say whether
she was torpedoed or struck by a
mine.
The liner carried 81 passengers

a little thought and watchfulness
and strict obedience to the quaran-

In fact, the cost of protecting the
health of a community Is extremely
small in comparison to the cost of
sickness and death Why will we
continue to pay heavy price for
disease which brings suffering and
sorrow when for one-tenth the cost
we could have health and happiness
and greater wealth.

OLD PEOPLE
ENTERTAINED
AT BENSON

Benson, Feb. 7th.-On Friday last
the Old Folks party and ward re-
union was held in the Benson meet
ing house. Six long tables were
loaded with the bounteous thing of
earth at which over $50 people sat
and enjoyed. in the superlative de-
gree, the good things to eat. Among
those present were Grandma" Kicks
and Grandpa" John Reese, both
over so years of age. Grandma Sar-
ah G.. Reese was unable to be pre-
sent but she was very kindly remem-
bered by the committee with a gen
erous supply of the choice viands
and boquet of carnations and roses
of which she is very fond. The chair
man, Brother Andrew, was the kind
bearer of these tokens of remem-
brance.

Miss Edna Tarbet entertained a
number of her many young friends
Friday evening.
On Saturday evening the Misses
Munk entertained few of their
friends.
The Old Folks Committee had all
the young people under IA years of
age assembled at the meeting house
on Saturday afternoon and served
them through their committee to a
nice luncheon.
The committee has promised the
people of the ward dance in the
. near future so we are all full of ex-
pectation.
A few friends met this afternoon
at the home of Mrs. W. j. Funk in

THE LOW COST OF
GOOD HEALTH

Last week we discussed the high
cost of dying. We arrived at the
conclusion that preventable sickness
and death cost the people of Utah
more than $5,OOO.OOO each year in
addition to suffering and sorrow
This week we will consider the low
cost OF health protection.
The health of a community is lar
gely what the people of that com
munity will make 1t. Climate and
other natural factors may make the
task easier or harder, but the human
element is the deciding factor. Wit
ness what has been done in Havana,
in Panama and other places where
the health workers have had a free
hand.
There are six essentials for the
safeguarding of health:
/. Safe water supply.
2. Proper disposal Of human
waste.
3. Proper living conditions.
A. Frequent examinations by
physicians to detect and check any
tendency to disease.
5. Prompt and adequate medical
attention when sick.
6, Proper care to prevent conf
municable diseases from being trans
mitted from the sick to the well.
A good water supply is often cost
ly. But an epidemic of typhoid fever
for example, may cost in one year S
sickness and death far more than
the entire cost of an adequate and
safe water system.
The same may be said of a sewer
system. 1t is folly to neglect tc
provide such a system for the sake OF
economy.

ventilated and not over crowded dc

"The shortage of the steel and
