The MILFORD BOARD OF
HEALTH REORGANIZED

At the meeting ofthe ard Of Health
for the town of Milford. held last Fri
day evening, John w. WEIGH was
elected president and DR.. William Mar
shall secretary for the year 1910; the
latter being the executive officer.
Letters from the Slate Board OF Health
we're read, which explained how the
two recently imported cases Of scarle'
tina from Wilmington ESCAPED the
vigilance OF the health officials there.
These communications were placed on
file for future reference.
The Board voted to notify Council
that the stream known as Fishers Run,
leading from the MispilliOn up through
the town, should be covered from Front
Street to the river on the grounds OF
sanitary conditions.
The secretary reported most excellent
health conditions for the town during
the month OF March, there being re
corded with the Board Of Health one
death, two births and one marriage.
Two new cases of scsrletina, two OF
typhoid fever, three OF pulmonary tn
berculosis and one Of diphtheria we're
also recorded during the month. Meas
ures looking toward enforcing better
compliance with vital statistics regis
trAtiOn were ordered, and spring cleau'
ing notices were directed to be inserted
in the Milford Chronicle for three weeks.

almost anything could pose as an Easter
bonnet and its sHbterfuge never discOv-

TASMANIA.
Nicknames Applied to the One Time
Convict Settlement.

SonSict SettIement.
Tasmania is perhaps the most inter
esting of the states of our
wealth" remarked the Australian. '.If
is a large triangular island lying to the
south of Melbourne and was once q
convict settlement.
The climate is delightful and the
soil remarkably fertile. The island is
practically one large orchard. where
peaches. apples. cherries, etc. are
grown in sufficient quantities to keep
the adjoining continent supplied. with
some left over for export to England
As fruit trees do not require much
tending. leisure is Il notable character
istic of the inhabitants, and Tasmania
is known throughout the antipodes as
the land of lots Of time or the land of
sleep a lot Ii is also called the jam
country and its natives Familiarity
termed jam eaters This is on account
of the presence of an enormous can
merry in the island. where some Of the
orchard products are converted into
jams. jellies and preserved fruits.
But this by no means ends the list
of Tasmanian nicknames. Two Dutch
explorers-Tasman and Van Dieman-
had to do with the discovery of the
island. and. although the name of Tas-
man is now used. it is often referred
to in old school books as Van Dieman's
Land. We find it amusing to twist
the latter name a bit and call b Tas-
manians demons which is a shame,
as they are the mildest and best fel-
lows in the world. They speak of
themselves as Tastes and that may
be accepted as their unofficial designa-
tion."-NeW York Press.

LAWYERS IN GERMANY.
They Cannot Advertise, and Their Fees
Are Fixed by Law.

Are Fixed by Law.
The German law fixes the exact fees
which a German attorney has to claim
for all kinds Of professional work. and
the r~echtsanwalt can charge neither
mere nor less.
These fees apply to all matters of
the civil code and OF criminal cases.
The amount according to the Green
Bag. depends exclusively on the value
OF the object of contention.
1t is an old though still unfurilled
wish of German lawyers to have a
new fixed list Of fees. not made after
the old and low standard Of the year
1879. but made with consideration to
the c~hanyes-Soe Numerous decided
changes-which have taken place since
that year.
