Statistics Show that Inspec-
ton Campaign Has
Brought big Results.
INFANT MORTALITY
One out Of Every -Four Ba.
bies Died in 1908 in the
City Of Grand Forks.

.'Thee city OF Grand Forks is fairly
clean at present but we cannot aban-
don our vigilance and must do even
more at once to prevent infant NOR
tally from increasing" said Mrs. r.
a. sprague, food inspector. today.
In 1908 one out Of every four babies
born in the city of Grand Forks died
before 1t was a year and a half old.
That vas the year before food inspec-
ton was. adopted in Grand Forks,
the municipal abattoir had not been
constructed, no i~ncinerator was In OPP
garbage collection had been outlined.
In that year 223 babies were born
in this city and Of this number 81
died.
During the past year has brought
o fair example of the results Of care
full food inspection. Since July 1,
1917, there were $50 births in this city
and only ~ deaths, or practically one
out Of every. twenty-etght children
succumbed before reaching the age
of one year and a half, or during the

Wash Sidewalks.
Mrs. Sprague urges every business
man to wash the sidewalks every
morning, and especially on Monday.
Traffic discards much refuse and 1t. is
only natural to- assume that disease
germs abide In theerubbist. s5
Not only are the streets In need OF
attention but more careful attention
should be given to garbage cans, back
lots. barns and other places where
refuse accumulates. The death, pen-
atty should be- inflicted on every ny
that enters a home or business house,

treatment OF milk and dairy products.

Yesterdays Swift Proceedings.
All records for speedy preliminary
hearings In this state. and probably
throughout the entire northwest, were
broken yesterday when AZ cases were
disposed Of in this city. The com
I.sints heard were all directed against
John II. McInerny who was charged
with having committed Bookkeeping or
siaed and allotted various other per-
SONS to commit that offense. Judge
General H. A. Bronson and Dan v.
Brennan, as well as the defendant, all
contributed to making the swift pro-
cedure a success. and from no side
were any objections offered to the
suggestion made by the state that a
number of otherwise customary for
malities be. dispensed with.
The net result Of the strenuous
days work was that 13 complaints
were dismissed on motion by the state.
and thai 29 we're allowed to stand.
All Cases Treated Nearly Alike.
During the afternoon session 81
cases were heard, beginning with case
No. 8.
In order to facilitate matters case
No. 81, which was taken up during
the morning session, was taken as a
quent actions. Testimony, portions of
evidence and exhibits, offered in case
No. 81, according to stipulations made
by counsel for both sides, were consid-
cred part Of the record in the follow
ing cases: Nos. /, 3, g., 8. 9, 10, IT,
-. 20. 20, 81. 27A, 20, 20, 81, 80, 35,
So, 40 and AZ.
In addition thereto the state offered
the testimony of j. Murphy, Albert
Ed. Kenworthy, G.. Young, O.averml1-
lion. A. Frye, r. D. Tucker. H. Colleen
and others. These witnesses had all
been examined and cross-examined
during the recent preliminary hearing
Of the conspiracy case against Mr.. Nc
Inerny, the East Grand Forks Brew
cry Co., ct al.
Cases Nos. 4, Z and 81 were disposed
of as was case No. 80, heard during
the state moved to dismiss the COM
plant against John Doe, a ~co-defend-
ant, upon whom service Of papers had
not been effected. The complaint
against Defendant McInerny was al
lowed Ito remain. Case No. IL was ex-
pedited in the same manner as cases
Nos. 33 and 81.
III case mo. IL the state moved TO
dismiss action or the grounds that
the principal witness had not been
found. Similar action for a similar
reason was taken in regard to cases
Nos. "a, SO, 80. 40, a.. As and s. The
state also moved to dismiss the follow
ing cases owing to the fact that the
matter had been covered in other
complaints-26, 80, Al, Q and FL.
