Hayes of Ogden, president of the Utah State Board of I j Examiners of Barbers. The statement I is made In tho annual report of the I ( stato board and included in the an- 1 j nual report of Governor William Spry, I recently made public. I j The complete report of President I f Hayes and his fellow board members li is as follows: I! " Wo ' are pleased to report the i ' elimination of face diseases from the I 1 barber shops of Utah. An inspection I 1 of the year's record shows few re- 1 ports of Infection, and none of barber- R (. shop origin. I II "We feel secure In the statement H that through the use of clean linen, I I sterilization of tools, and careful shav- I ing, the barber shops of our state arc 1 now perfectly safe, and the nervous, I j germ-fearing citizen may feel quite at I case under the skilled hands and san- I itary care of the barbers of Utah. I I In fact, we believe It is much safer I ( to shave in the modern tonsorial par- I ( lor than in one's homo, where tho I ! facilitate for easy shaving and proper I ; sterilization of tools are usually ab- I jj sent. I : "More cases of "barber's itch' orlgln-I, orlgln-I, ate In the private dressing room than 1 In the public barber shop. Indeed, tho chief danger the barber has to guard against is in shaving a man who has started an eruption through b ( scraping his face sore with a "safety" j! ' razor, fj "In our examination of applicants 4 t for barbers' certificate, we have em- 1 phasized the necessity of Instantly rec- i j ognlzing the appearance of impetigo : contagiosa, commonly known as 'bar- : ber's itch.' Each applicant must give $ a description of the first appearanco i of the infection, so that he may avoid 1 contact with it. This avoidance is de- If manaeu oy ioe oiaio iu.v, uitu ; makes it a misdemeanor on the part i of both barber and infected patron i to serve or be served in any shop In J 1 this state. I "Furthermore, each applicant is In- v structed how to prevent skin disease, j ' by the observance of the principles of sanitation, which include the use K of clean tools, appliances and furn- ishings, and correct shaving. It is R, this avoidance and prevention which B 9 insures safety to the nubile, j u "It Is our eperlence that sanitation HK' I is largely a matter of education, and LLwf we find we can accomplish more in Hf. the long run by Insistent and persls- 'v tent appeal to the barbers' sense of k 'cleanliness than by compulsory and B drastic measures.
