Provo passed Salt Lake City Thursday evening in amount collected from city business contributors for the Castle Gate relief fund. Provo's contribution Thursday evening slightly exceeded $1400, and at the same 'time Salt Lake's business men had given just a trifle over $1300. While it is true that the Salt Lake committee Thursday evening claimed more than $25,000, all but about $1300 of that amount had been contributed by large state corporaThese intions, many of whom transact business state-widclude such corporations as the railroads, the Utah Power . & Light company, the telephone company, and others, including church and other organizations. As many of these corporations have their executive offices in Salt Lake City contributions were made there, and, immediately the Salt Lake committee annexed these contributions as Salt Lake's. The Provo and Utah county committees have been unable to obtain contributions from these corporations, as their officers explained that the money had been given the Salt Lake collectors. An effort will be made to persuade Governor Charles R. Mabey to transfer credit of many of these corporation donations to contributions other than Salt Lake's. While Provo's contributions totaled $1400 Thursday evening, many lists given out to business concerns had not been turned back by Friday noon. These are expected to swell the total .to more than $2,500, to which may be added the pro rata contributions made in Salt Lake by corporations doing business in Utah county. y e. . B. Y.

We wish to announce to the parents that the symptoms of this disease are very similar to an ordinary cold in the head. They begin with a harsh dry cough, sneezing, running of the eyes and nose all of which precede the rash from a few days to a week. So parents are requested when their children present these symptoms, to immediately isolate them from the rest of the family and watch them closely for the appearance of the rash which comes first upon the face and the neck. The local board of health is enforcing the quarantine rules of the state board of health. The period of quarantine is not less than fourteen days. Where parents violate these rules they are committing a misdemeanor and are liable to arrest.
