VALLEY (By Lloyd M. Farner, M. D. Director Health District No. 4.) Foods served at picnics and other open-a- ir occasions are more carefully safeguarded today than in times past and rightly so, says Dr. Lloyd M. Farner, of Provo, director of district four of the States Board of Health. While the ordinary air In rural areas is healthful, when laden with dust from thousands of feet and other disturbing factors, this dust may become harmful, especially when accumulated en s, hamburgers, sandwiches, fruit, vegetables and candles. Fortunately, most of our candy bars and some fruits are covered with cellophane or tissue paper but, some other foods are definitely not so protected. The old time family picnic on a d nook away from the dirt and dust of highways was generally quite harmless, except for flies and moaqhltoa. But the modern out-dogathering Is somewhat different, with more health haxards In the way of unprotected foods. Druing the recent bsnd contest In Provo, Dr. Charles M. Smith, city physician, and other city officials, called in concessionaires making application for permits to conduct out-dostands, and insisted on not only sterilisation of dishes, glasses and utensils according to city and state regulations, but proper covering and protection for foods and drinks served. These officials are to he congratulated on the foresight and keen sense of responsibility to their dtlsens and their example may well be followed by all towns and cities of the state. Dr. Farner cautions all to see that foods eaten out of doors at these stands is properly covered and protected from dust and Insects. red-hot- 00 HEADS : PARTY TO MEXICO NOTE: This is one of a series of articles written especially by Dr. Thomas L.

Writers would tend to nullify this discouragement by ridiculing the Idea a the land's ever wearing out Some old Homan Senator quoted on one occasion, "It is neither Just nor true to think that the material of the ground which the Creator of the universe endowed with par. potual fecundity is effected with barrenness, nor does it become a wise man to believe that the earth with a definite and everlasting youth beetewed upon It and called the eommoa parent of all things, Such comments as this no doubt should grew old like a woman. stirred the farmer to renewed efforts.
