bod M TAXEs.

Salt Lake City, Aug. 26.-The state
of Utah will collect close to $685. 900
from mining taxes in November, this
being 9 per cent of the net proceeds
of Utah mines in 1917. This amount
includes the mining occupational tax
which is levied for the first time. The
tax is one dollar for each person en-
gagged in mining, with the exception
of prospectors and some others.
According to tax roll figures just
made public by the state board Of
equalization, net proceeds of Utah
mines in 1917 totalled $3%2,959,960 as
compared with $33,204,411 in 1916.
No o%ccupational tax was collected for
1916, however. The states income
from 1916 mining operations was
$996,132. or something more than
$4,000 above that for 1917. This is
approximately IL per cent Of the
states entire annual income, based
upon the income of 1916-1917 from
all sources, 5000, 526.43.
Under the existing laws, seven
sixteenths of the mining taxes go to
the public schools and nine-sixteenths
to the general fund. OF this nine-six-
teenths, 72 per cent is allotted for ex-
penses Of government and % per cent
to the three colleges supported by the

WARNING TO

DR.. Henry O'Keefe. city health
officer, this afternoon issued the
following general warming to par
ents in the city:
During the last few days there
have been prevalent among our
children many cases OF diarrhoe
with bloody stools. Some cascs have
been fatal, and many Of a very Sc
we're type.
"As precautionary measures I
would advise that as soon as you
notice any symptoms of tdiarrhoe,
to give the child a bath, put it to
bed and give n dose of Castor Oil,
also WISH out, the bowels. Give no
food or other material except water
which has been boiled, until your
physician has arrived. Delay in
these cases often is disastrous.

Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1918-08-26

During the past week the physicians
of h city have been considerably
puzzled as to the proper diagnosis of
an epidemic, which has affected a
great number Of children in the city
and caused a high child mortality.
Different symptoms seem to accom-
pany the illness, which assumes its
first serious aspect in the form of con-
wilson's. Loss Of consciousness follows
which in some cases was not restored
and resulted in death. In many cases
the attack is preceded by a lowering
OF vitality, and symptoms Of summer
complaint. while in many cases less
warning was given to parents.
Several explanations have been Of
fered, as a clue to, the cause of the
trouble; ONE believe that chemicals
in the city water, which have not
hitherto been detected might be the
cause, again the probability that
vegetables which are eaten raw might
be poisoned, has been offered as an
explanation.
Many Cases Reported.
Physicians are working on cases
throughout the city and so far about
f4O cases have been reported and are
under medical attention. Three
deaths have beer. reported as the re-
suit of this epidemic: Geraldine

COOKING THE CHEAPER CUTS.

In cooking meats remember that
the cheaper or long fibered meats have
a thick connective tissue and the
short celled meats have thin. connec-
tive tissue. The secret of proper cook
ing is in the ability to melt down this
tissue at the same time preventing
the escape Of the juices. The long
moist, cooking is found to accomplish
this best. Scar the cuts to be cooked
by sauteing the ,entire piece on all
sides in hot fat or by immersing in
boiling water. The juices will be
sealed in within ten or fifteen min
utes. then reduce. the heatsand allow
the cuts to simmer. This slow cook
ing renders the meat tender without
making it strong.
To saute long fibered steaks, cut
the piece across the grain on both
sides. Seal Juices in these cut cells
by pounding in flour. Then saunte
in a small amount OF hot Vegetole as
you would a more expensive cut.
