HEALTH TALKS OFFICER OH MILK PROBLEMS (ARTICLE NO. 2) In the first article on milk the number of bacteria allowable In Grade A milk was stated to be not over 10,000 per c. c. at the time milk Is delivered to the consumer. ' Milk may contain more bacteria than any known substance: In fact more than in sewage. The number of bacteria, however, is of relatively little Importance. To prevent disease we must be Interested particularly in the kind of bacteria present In milk. Bacteria find their way into milk from many sources. Some are In the milk before It leaves the cowe udder. As soon as the milk leaves the teat it receives additional bacteria from everything it contacts such as hands, the pall, dust in the air, etc. The most effective manner of limiting their number In milk is to use sterilised small topped milk pails, other sterilised utensils and healthy cows with clean teats and udders. Experiments have shown that the greatest number of bacteria come from the dirt and dung that fall into the pall during milking and from the pail Itself, if not clean and scalded. To keep bacterial counts low. It is necessary , the city must be raised in addition to paying $170,000 annually to other roads. Mayor Anderson made a special trip to Salt Lake Thursday interviewing the state road commta. sion, endeavoring to present more forcefully the case for the city. Despite the fact that Provo yearly makes a contribution of about $170,000 to the roads outto chill the milk at once to. 60 side Provo city, yet the state road F. and keep It at this temper- commission "urged the mayor to be broad minded and "help ature.

Fallary of The Gold Standard In a hurried sketch of the rise of gold and silver to iti power of finance in todays world, Mr. Startup showed how the false position on the sold standard had been built up. All the gold In the world amounts to only $14,000,000,000, and more than half of that is in United States in various vaults where such thing are stored. Put- - It all together it would make a block of gold about 80 cuble feet. Compare that with tha 9860,000,000.000 debt which I? per cent of the people owe to the other three percent. Of this tremendous debt, only $800,000,-000,00-0 is backed by actual wealth even, for If all the wealth In United 8tatea were monetised, more than $50,000,000,000 would on our debts, be outstanding leaving 97 per cent of the people worse than bankrupt by $60,000,-000,00- 0 after tba three per cent bad collected everything in sight and out of sight. Government to Issue It's Own Receipts What solution to such a mesa? Well, answered Mr. Startup, tha first step Is to replace with the government the sole power to create money, which is or should be nothing but a government receipt for services rendered or goods supplied. All government work and all government projects must be financed without borrowing, but merely by issuing currency as receipts for such pro - Of 198 premature deaths, 188 Death Rates Oaa Bo Got Death rates can and must lie of which died before one week old, nearly all could have boon cut was tho conclusion of tha prevented through adequate pro-nat- entire group, which was made up earn and adequate early of delegates from every part oC lowing tho common cold, which Utah county. al ii largely preventable.

Congressman Robinson's re- ply Indicated grave danger of being unable to Influence eny change in the budget as nnmer. ous groups are demanding the cutting down of WPA appropriations. He said: "It is going to take every particle of leadership that can be mustered to continue In operation the President's program". Mr. Robinson held very little hope of Utah county WPA pay scale being raised from $44 a month to the Salt Lake county minimum of $56 per month, but rather feared that the Salt Lake rate would be reduced to the Utah county scale. In a more hopeful vein, Mayor Anderson sought Congressman the Robinson's aid In turning facilities of the CCC here toward solving the airport problem and helping with the Utah lake harbor. Both these projects are suited to wlhter work, points out the mayor, and In both training and equipment tho CCC la adto undertake mirably adapted either or both projects.

Some said: This would result Mr. Startup ansin Inflation. wered that tha people would be saved millions upon millions of unearned eoets attached to all such things, and that if inflation did begin, as Indicated by a rise in prices, then the government curhould "tax the surplus rency back Into the treasury so that prices would become normal again. It Is tba only way we can have a stable dollar, be added. Small Bankers Also Victims Mr. Startup did not blame the small bankers for tbe condition. They are aa much the victims of tbe "bank racket aa the farmer jand merchants and others of the population. Ail the money In United States, currency and all. amounts to but four and a half billions, while more than fifty billions are shown as deposits in the banks. Such a position is absnrd. he argued, fur we cannot deposit fifty billions out of only four and one half billions of anything. All thess deposita are by tho commit toe's studies. tha Health committee discovered that 78 per cant of all deaths In Utah county are preventable. From Jan. 1 to June SO, 1988, 118 persons died in this county, exclusive of Provo; every one of which eonld have been saved, or his life prolonged by preventive measure bepig taken In time. Utah county actually loat 167 persons during those six months, not including deaths In Provo city propar, but tbs facts found out concerning each death revealed 118 of these were needless had preventive medicine' beea able to function. In other words, the committee report shows: Diseases of the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, ate, caused 68 deaths, mostly in the older age groups, but that moderate living and medical advice being available and followed, they could have lived on indefinitely. , Cancer accounted for 16 deaths but early diagnosis and treatment in almost every ease could have prevented death. Pneumonia had 14 deaths against it, but that preventive medicine in this disease being effective Is unquestioned. So on down tho list with tuber-car- e of tho Infant.
