I THE SPRING CLEAN UP.
X Ogden is going through the spring clean up which has become
yearly event. The city has employed large trucks and is moving
tte accumulated rubbish of the winter from the homes to the waste
flumps.
This is beginning, to be recognized as a necessity in sanitation,
but the burden is growing to such an extent that the city treasury
ESels the drains
Now and then abuses creep in, and single families wilL pile on
the curb dirt and trash sufficient to load an entire truck. Eventual
ly the city may be forced to make a small charge where the amount
of garbage is more than should come out of one place.
A year ago one wealthy family kept two city teams going an
entire dar, hauling away the material drawn from its back yard.
As a general thiug, the people show no disposition to impose
op. the generosity of the city and a fine spirit of co-operation is
tteing developed.
I - STEALING ROSE BUSHES. . ; ?
Aiming to beautify his lawn, the owner of a home on North
Washington planted rose bushes. He was looking forward to the
Glooming of the plants this spring when some one, late at night, in
vaded his grounds, pulled up the bushes, roots and all, aud carried
t-hem off. '
This is a form of damage which is causing the home owners of
Hie city endless distress. It is a petty pilfering which, we under
stand, the city authorities have resolved to stop. Rewards are to be
Offered for information' leading to the arrest of the offenders.
In no state of the union is petty mischief more, frequently noted
! than in Utah, and it is an offense which should be checked.
Recently, in the comfort station at the City Hall, toilet paper
fas been ripped from the holders and in the women's section mirrors
Ifave been unscrewed from the Avails. There is a spirit, of destruc
tiyeness which does not respect property rights, Before it grows into
pronounced disregard for the rights of others' and a degree of law
lessness bordering on open vandalism, a " crusade should be made
bythe police. Those caught should be severely punished.
THE WORST OF MURDERERS. ,
Fl
J Nothing, less than a devil incarnate is Henry Layer, a farmer
Hhi aear TurtlejLake, North Dakota, who killed his neighbor,. Jacob
Hr Wolf and then proceeded to murder the entire family of seven and
i a. chore boy.
Layei'j according to his own siory, is a fiend a red-eyed, brute
i qut of Hades. , He used a double-barreled shotgun and fired upon
the father, mother and children until he had made the home a sham
bles. There was .a measure of deliberation, in his butchery. After
killing the father and robbing the children of a possible protecting
band, he heard the screams of the terrorized little . ones and. search
big them out, murdered and murdered. Running out of shells, he
used a hatchet to kill the last of the family.
Z, A demon of that kind should be placed apart front the rest of
humanity. The simplest' method of disposing of the assassin would
lie to allow his neighbors to have a private interview.' At the, end
6i five minutes, no doubt much of the deviltry would be extracted
fom his carcass.

When the women are thoroughly aroused, they make ther de
mands known in a' most, impressive manner. . '
Over in Jackson Hole, "Wyoming, the men had been tolerated
in public office until dry rot began to show in city affairs. Then
the female voters, became disgusted and they resolved to do away
with government Of the kind dealt out by officials of the male per
suasion. They organized, formed a party and served notice that, as
public servants,- the men were objectionable, in fact were incom
petent and offensive. They named a ticket on which every name
bore a miss or a madam, and, opposed was a ticket entirely made
up of men: At the election last Tuesday the women won by a vote
of two to one.
There must be more than one man in the Wyoming city who
was outvoted by his wife. This is a complete upsetting of the old or
der of things when man was supposed to be master of his own des
tiny and ruler of his own. castle.
It is now in order for Jackson to change the marriage vow by
eliminating the part which requires the 'blushing bride to love, serve
and obey.
,. ' GOING OVER THE TOP.
H 't'j, '.
At the athletic meet on Monday there was present the pick of
the physically fit young men of Utah and among them was the ctiam
pion high jumper of the world, who stated to a Standard-Examiner
man that he never had been a drinker of tea, coffee or alcoholic li
nuors, and always had observed the general rules of health.,
Half a dozen champions of the world have been in Ogden of
H! late and the history of each is the same. Not one of them has dis
sipated. But obeying the laws of right living is not the sole key to the
success of the men at the top of human endeavor. For instance, the
high jumper, whose record is 6 feet, 7 7-8 inches, said it was nec
essary not only to have well knit muscles and to co-ordinate muscu
H' lar effort, but there must be the will to do. He declared that he
H never went over the top without first being firmly resolved that
lie was capable of succeeding. To entertain a doubt was to fail.
, What an instructive! lesson that is! it applies to every activity.
Success is bom of a mental condition. First, there must be thought
of ability to do. There must be confidence and determination.
No discrediting of self ever brought a triumph.
Very ordinary men men without natural talent other than that
possessed by those who never rise above their station often gain
! distinction by mere resolve not to be denied recognition and they
I manifest faiti in themselves in everything they do.
Faith will remove mountains.
Will power is perhaps the greatest asset any one may have, as
i it commands, nearly, everything desirable in life, even health and
happiness. - 1

CHILLS AND FEVER.
"Chills and fever" (malaria) so prev
alent in many parts of the country
during the summer, are spread by
mosquitoes and in no other way.
Malaria is still largely confined to ,
the sobthern states, where it is esti
mated that as many as 7,000,000 cases
occur annually. The fact that the
death-rate is extremely low has largely
obscured recognition of malaria as a
public health problem. One has mere
ly to take into consideration the econ
omic loss resulting from "so many peo
ple being ill each year In order to
realize that the control of malaria is
really a problem of the very first mag
nitude. We know that It Is possible to
eradicate malaria if funds are made
available. It is possible to get rid
of the mosquitoes that spread the dis
ease. It is also possible to cure the
disease, quinine, acting almost as a
specific. Indeed the proportion of suc
cessful results in malaria when qui
nine is given is probably higher than
is the case with any treatment of any
other disease.
Some interesting experiments In
malaria control have recently been
made by the Public Health Service.
Towns were selected in Virginia and
North Carolina, where as many as one
half of the population had malaria. By
such relatively simplo measures as dig
ging drainage ditches so that there
would be no stagnant ponds for the
mosquito to breed in, by using oil on
such ponds as could not be drained,
and by furnishing quinine to treat
those ill with malaria it was possible
to practically prevent any fresh in
fections with malaria in the places se
lected. Those desiring further information
on malaria can obtain an instructive
booklet, free of charge, by addressing
Information Editor, United States Pub
lic Health Service. Ask for Supple
ment No. IS.
Q. My eyes bother me always, or
rather most of the time. I see black,
floating specks before my eyes. Is this
anything serious?
A. This is a very common condi
tion, and Is known to physicians as
aro only a few inches off and are ex
ceedingly movable. f611owing the
changes in the optic axis. If the eye
remains quiet they begin to sink. Most
of these aro situated in the vitreous
of the eye; that is between the lens
and the retina. .While they are often
very annoying, they are usually with
out serious significance. Some forms
of dark spots are situated in the lens.
Ab a rule no treatment is indicated,
except in cases where there is reason
to believe that some underlying pri
mary disease exists.

I MR. PENGUIN
"He's the Little Man With
a White Vest"
i
You might say about Mr. Fonguin
that he's the little man with a white
vest. Thies bird is one of the most
curious and interesting of the feather
ed tribe. He stands erect like a man,
with his coat talis touching the
ground behind his round, aldernianic
white vest in view in front, and with
the wisest, most, cocksure look imag
inable on his face.
Lilke the American pelican, pen
guins live in colonics. In the Pacific
is an Island called Macquarrio. That
is one-third of the area of Chicago,
but with double the population, In
penguins, that Chicago has. It Is es
timated that at lea3t 5,000,000 of these
birds inhabit the island. There arc
whole acres where the ground is com
pletely hidden by nesting penguins.
As many as 150,000 a year are killed
for their feathers, and to boll down
for the oil in them. Only one egg in
laid, but there is no sign of the colony
diminishing.
Penguin has very short logs and
Inasmuch as ho Is thre feet high and
pretty robustly built, he Is very awk
ward on them. His wlnga are more
like flippers and they enable him to "
swim easily under water, where he
gets his food. He often divea.to great
depths. He doesn't fly much. Hi3
homo is in the cold seas, close to eter
nal Ice and so as to keep him warm
nature has provided his body with a
layer of blubber like fat. When you
see a penguin at sea you usually sec
an army of them because they go
afloat in great "swimming schools."
Some penguins build nests; others
lay their eggs on the bare- ground.
But they arc most devoted. Both
Penguin and Mrs. Penguin sit on their
single egg and the mother takes care
of the baby penguin for a whole year
until another egg arrives, needing un
devlded attention. Fossils have been
found showing that this bird used to
be six to seven feet tall.
