Show This city is ,l 0 feet above sea level. It has B a, great lake to '. o west and lofty mountains to H tjip, east to temper the climate. It receives its B .v,ator from mountain springs not ten miles away. fl It ought to be as healthy a place as there is in the B world. But there is always diphtheria and scar- B let fever here and how an epidemic of typhoid is B sweeping the city. The reason is that the people B are not all doing their duty. A general house and B back yard cleaning would stop the prevailing dis- B cases. If the Board of Health could compel the B cleaning of the places that are unclean, including B the centers of the great senseless blocks the con- B tagious diseases would pass away. It is a simplo B and inexpensive remedy for what has been a cry- B ing shame here for years. There are people not B fit to live in the same town with clean and Intel- H ligent people. Some of these are in Salt Lake M City and they should bo attended to. H |
