Health Commissioner Ohjecls toj the Brand of Weather Be- j ing Handed Out. j i A clash between tho city health de : partnient aud the local wcalhor bureau is imminent. Dr. M. K. Stewart eays Dr. Hyatt, the Dooly block weather oracle, is in collusion with the sniallpox fiend to furnisli suitable weather for smallpox, and ho considers this a decidedly de-cidedly unfrieudly act upon tho part of 1 he weather doctor. The alleged collusion, collu-sion, or unholy alliance between the elements ele-ments and the archfiend smallpox threatens to disturb the social amenities of the local branch of the United States weather bureau, if it does not produco I an actual revolt. 'Tis said now that tho Salt Lake City health commissioner tiurt the weather' doctor hardly speak wlien they meet upon tho streets.. "Yow "newspaper fellows are iu this. ioo,'J declared Dr, Stewart Friday, with au unexpected degree of warmth entirely en-tirely out of all proportion to tho chilliness chilli-ness of the day. "This cold weather is more effective thau any other ono thing in producing smallpox. It keeps peo- , pie indoors, with their doors and wiu- , dows tightly closod. thus reducing ventilation, ven-tilation, and persons at all susceptible to contagions and infectious diseases tints hermetically aoalod up from f) outer current of pure and fresh ah. readily contract any contagious or in-i'ecliousodisease, in-i'ecliousodisease, especially smallpox. ' Willi two or three persons occupying occupy-ing a room tightly closed on account of tho weather to keep the cold out tho fresh air is soon exhausted of its oxygeu and becomes foul and impure to breathe. , If the people would only ventilate their rooms, despite tho cold, there would be less contagion, but the- won 't do it. and since they won't it is up to tho weather man to "furnish wanner weather. I have been Thinking of suing him, and if he don't change his brand of weather I may do so yet. He would better look a littlo out' Six new cases of smallpox were re- Sorted Friday, as follows: .Tuanita, osophine.
