The statement has been made at
the department of education that there
is the greatest scarcity of teachers for
the schools Throughout the state this
season ever known. 1t is estimated
that as many as 100 teachers could be
placed within two hours if they were
only available. Some are offering
fair salaries, but too many are paying
something like $45 or $50 per month
and then charging the teachers $40 or
more for board. So many other and
more profitable venue OF work are
opened up under the wal conditions
that few new teachers are taking up
the work and many old les have gone
into other work.

PROTECT THE DEER AND INCREASE THE
MEAT SUPPLY OF UTAH.

While fifteen states, including Utah, will have
no big game hunting this year because deer have
been exterminated or because the stock has been
so reduced that the season is closed, there are
thirty-three other states, according to the United
States department of agriculture, which will
have an open season for deer hunting. This sea-
son ranges from four days in New Jersey and six
days in Massachusetts, and Vermont TO two
months or more in some of the Southern States.
These seasons opened in August in Oregon and
in most parts Of California; in September i'm the
rest of California and Idaho, South Carolina and
Virginia. in October in Maine, New Hampshire
New York, Georgia, Montana, Wyoming, Wash
ington, Nevada. Arizona and New Mexico; in
November in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and several of the Southern States and i'm De-
cember in Pennsylvania There is no open sea
son on deer in Utah this year. In about one-third
of the states the law allows the hunter one deer
a year and in most others two
The department of agriculture urges all per-
sons TO cooperate 10 secure the best possible pro-
lection of deer so as TO get the maximum amount
of venison as n source of meat. 1t is estimated
that about eighty thousand deer are killed legally
in the United States each year. These produce
nearly ten million pounds Of venison. The bio
logical survey of the department says that this
number Of deer can be very largely increased,
since only two or three states produce more than
ten thousand deer year and many less than one
thousand. When eleven hundred deer are OBJ
tanned in state as densely populated as Massa-
chusetts II should not be difficult, says the de-
partment to increase the total in the other states
by at least 20 per cent Every pound of venison
brought in should be made TO save a pound of
beef, mutton or pork raised on ranch or farm.
The cooperation Of game commissioners, con-
servation associations and other organizations is
requested by the department as an aid in secur-
ing accurate reports Of the number of deer killed
In each state this year. Such reports should
prove of value for comparison with the returns
from other years and may tell whether the num-
Der Of deer annually taken in any state may be
increased without impairing the breeding stock.

PURE WATER Is ALWAYS CHEAPER THAN
ARE FUNERALS

What about your water?" This is one Of the
first questions asked about by prospective resi-
dents, writes Frank w. McClere Of the Utah Pub
lie Health association, who suggests that man
can live without Injuries. lie can exist for weeks
without food. but he perishes miseraby in a
few hours without water Water is necessary
for all animal and vegetable life. IL converts the
desert into garden and its lack turns the gar
den into desert again. But impure water may
be almost as bad as none at all. II Is well known
that impure water is responsible for much sick
ness. Many great epidemies Of typhoid. cholera
and dysentery have been traced TO an infected
water supply. The installation Of proper water
systems has resulted In very great decrease In
the amount of sickness and death In every case.
Water In It's natural state contains much for
eign matter. Most of this Is harmless. II Ia
only when contaminated by the offscouring of
human beings that IL becomes of great danger.
In 1885 at Plymouth, Pa, ten hundred and four
cases of typhoid were traced TO one person. This
man spent the Christmas holidays In Philade-
phia. Returning home he went TO bed with ty-
phoid. His excreta, instead OF being disinfected
and buried was thrown on the bank of the
stream which supplied the town reservoir. There
II remained frozen until March thaw, when IL
was washed into the stream. Three weeks later
typhoid appeared I'm the town and about one Of
every five inhabitants became sick and one hun
dred and fourteen died
II should not be forgotten that the absence Of
typhoid In community does not prove that the
water Is pure and safe Many other disorders
OF the digestive system and the intestines are
caused by impure water. And the continual use
Of unwholesome water may 80 weaken the sys-
tenn and lessen It's powers OF resistance that IL
falls ready prey 10 the attacks of pneumonia and
other maladies. Most infants deaths are due 10
intestinal disorders and can usually be traced to
impure water or milk, Wherever good water has
been substituted for bad there has been great
decrease in infantie mortality.
Safe water is usually merely question of a
little expense and vigilance. No community and
no individual can afford 10 neglect the water
supply Pure water is cheaper than funerals.
