''Bar Unknown Ped
dler" Says Sheriff
People Purchase From Itinerants and
Then Get Scared and Send in Alarm
Call-Buy of Merchants.


Il want to say to the people Of
Twin Falls county that l trust that
they will quit buying from itinerants
peddlers whom they do not know, at
least while the war lasts" said Sheriff
Frank NJ Kendall yesterday. IF an
unknown peddler comes along" he
continued, "they should shut the door
and refuse to buy anything. The
merchants of Twin Falls, whom they
all know, carry all kinds of goods in
all lines and they are not compelled
to buy from people who are travelling
around and of whom they know moth
ing.
Many peddlers selling different
wares have come along lately, and
people have bought and later gOi
frightened and telephone to me about
the matter. l am always willing tC
do what l can to protect people ana
if I find anyone selling goods con
tanning disease germs, l will arres
him, but this office has much to dc
nowadays and cannot spare the tim,
to run around hunting down peddleri
on the mere suspicion that they ma,
have sold something that contained
germs, when there may be nothing t
the suspicion. The way to he in this
matter is to buy of reliable home mer
chants who are known to all. Ther'
is some danger in buying from thu
peddlers who are not known. Tha
is proven by the instances that hap
pened in Kansas last week where peo
| pie got lockjaw because they bough
-ticles containing tetanus germs
from travelling peddlers. People VIII
buy take a terrible risk. and the
| should refuse to do it"

Considerable criticism has been
voiced in this city since yesterday over
the announcement contained in the
"Statesman Bureau Washington dis
patch in Mondays Boise Statesman,
that the government had signed i've
year contract for the new George Her
riott garage building on Second street
west. The main contention is that IT
would be Injurious to the best inter-
ests of the city to sign a contract ior
five years with anyone for any site
when ii is hoped to have a new build
ing within year.
1t is also suggested that as the of-
flee is already a good ways from the
center of town it would be unwise to
move it still further away and on
side street. While the government has
rejected bids under calls previously
made for a pOstoffice building on the
ground that they were in excess OF the
appropriation, two courses are being
considered: One is to make changes
which would permit the acceptance Of
the bids and the ether Is to raise

TYPHUS AT cASSEl

An escaped prisoner declares that
300 French and British prisoners and
1900 Russians in the German prison
camp at Cassel have died in that
camp. The cause of death was an cpl
demic of typhus. What of all Ger
many's protestations OF superior "kll
tur" and advanced civilization amount
10 in the face of such facts?
1t is now established beyond ques-
ton that typhus is filth disease, con.
veyed by the ordinary louise. In a
cleanly camp. such as the allies main.
tain for their prisoners and such as
the United States, at the cost OF
some of its finest lives, succeeded in
forcing upon Serbia, typhus ceases 10
exist. 1t was believed by all civilized
nations that the deadly prison fever,
that ravaged Europe during the fifteen
years of the Napoleonic wars, that in
ten months in 1912 reduced the Da
varian army serving with Napoleon
from $4,000 TO $3.50 men, that killed
$4,000 out of $4,000 troops in May
ence garrison in 1S13.l4. and that has
been the scourge of war ever since
had been finally brought to an end
Yet here it claims $500 victims in
few months in Germanys prison cam
OF Cassel. Germany could have pre-
vented this outbreak. All that wa
necessary was to clean up the CAM
and keep 1t clean. The prisoner
were just as deliberately murdere,
as If they had been placed before
wall and shot at sunrise.-Gazette.
