YEARLY HEALTH DAY

Prov&toas M a Hovel Measure Inttoduced in Wtah Legislature. ! MaßctM a L«gal Holiday of tb» Flrat Monday ofi October When Erery BuUdtatf In the State Must Be Cleaned and Dinlnfcct&d. 1 "Health fliay" is the name of ft new legal holiday created by a bill introduced in the Utah legislature. By its provisions the first Monday in October is to be the signal for a general cleaning up. On this day every person in the state must clean and disinfect thoroughly dwelling houses, stores, theaters, public halls of all kinds, and, in fact, every building frequented by people. City councils, town boards and commissioners are instructed to enforce the law, and there is a penalty of SSO for failure on the part of any person to clean up and disinfect as provided. It is made the duty of the state board of health to prescribe the disinfectants to be used, and the local authorities must make inspections and prosecute any person who fails to make a thorough job of it. The sponsor for the measure is Representative William E. White, a former Colorado man. The bill has met with considerable favor among the legislators and it is said to stand a good show of becoming a law. "I believe such a measure as this will be a great help toward preventing disease," declared Representative White. "It will also educate the people along sanitary lines."

SERUM CURE FOR PNEUMONIA. &»ftd to Have De&n Dlacov«r»d by an „ tftaMtin Savants—A New Tuberenloaia Serum. Profa. Panichi and Tizzoni have informed the Academy of Sciences of Bologna that they have discovered the bacillus of pneumonia, which, they say, multiplies in a most extraordinary manner. They further say that they have nuccessfully experimented in destroying the bacilli with a rabbit serum in persons suffering with pneumonia. The Vienna Tageblatt credits Dr. Margorek, a young Viennese bacteriologist, attached to the Pasteur institute in Paris, with the invention of a new tuberculosis serum, which has been successful in a number of cases at various dates since Prof, Koch's tuberculin failed 12 years ago. Prof. Schroetter, laryngologist, and Prof. Weichselbaum, bacteriologist at the Vienna university, testify that Dr. Margorek is a serious scientist. Tney admit the possibility of the serum achieving what is claimed for it, as the discovery of such a serum has been merely a question of time. BURIED AFTER FORTY YEARS.
