GOULD CONDEMNS
FORGERY EPIDEMIC
Justice Warns Lawyers and

1T is simply astounding how many

what the cause of the epidemic is, but
something has to be done to let these
strangers know who come to this city
from other towns that they have TO
obey the lay. They all seem to be
intelligent young men and the
amount they have taken is small,
but the crime Is serious"
Gordon Cunningham. a twenty-five
year-old white man, employed in one
of the Government departments,
pleaded guilty to cashing a check not

Effective Barrier to House FLY.

Enective barrier to Rouse Fly.
A simple cOmmOn-sense way of do
ing things is sometimes more efficient
than a very elaborate way; and yet it
is sometimes difficult to gain the at
tention of men to the simple and the
efficient, while they are earnestly
seeking and end through elaborate
means.
A friend tells us that scarcely a
dozen flies have been seen annually
in his house for number of years;
and he says that he has made special
efforts to get public-health organiza-
tions in their campaigns of "swat the
fly" to make known to the public his
simple remedy of prevention, but he
has failed to interest one of them.
Now, he says, the self-constituted
"swat-the-fly" organization be
The remedy is a simple screened
vestibule at each door of residence,
or simply at the kitchen door. Such
vestibule need not be over eighteen
inches deep, but it must have screened
sides ind top. AS flies are attracted
solely by odOrs and, in cool weather,
by heat from the house, they will
gather on the sides and top of the
vestibule and not at all on the door,
This is because the heat from the
rooms, and especially the odors and
heat from the kitchen, pass off through
the sides and top, and not through the
the screen door. However thick flies
may be on the sides and top, opening
the screen door, however frequently,
will not permit the entrance of flies
into the room.
Such a vestibule at the kitchen door
is sufficnent for any residence not
near barn or other breeding-place
for flies.
A screened vestibule three feet deep
at the kitchen door of farm house,
and like one at the other entrance
door most used, will keep almost every
fly out of the house, and will do so
even though the door is kept much
open by the wind when strong enough
to overcome the ordinary coiled spring
used on screen doors.

A rife in the hands of the sixteen
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. ].
Jennings, who live on the old John
Miller farm at Diamond Lake, now
owned by Guiterman Bros. Of st. Paul,
might have resulted in the death of
his seven-year~old sister last Saturday
afternoon.
The boy had been around the barn
trying to shoot rats. In a joking way
he pointed the gun at his sister with
the remark that if she started to run
he would shoot at her. The girl start
ed to run and the hired man on the
place at once shouted to the boy to be
careful, but was told that the gun was
not loaded and at the same time he
pulled the trigger. The gun however
was loaded, and the little girl was hit
in the hip and severly wounded.
DR.. BrantOn of Willmar, was called,
and after an examination said that it
would be necessary to take her to the
hospital at Winmar for treatment.

happened to be at the lake at the time
was kindly asked If he would not take
her there in his car which he willingly
did.
