Internment In Switzerland.

In Switzerland work has been de.
clared obligatory for every intern
ed man whose health permits it.
The interned are divided into six
classes, according to their physical
capacity for work, the classifica-
tiOn being intrusted to practicing
physicians who must act with pru-
dence. The prisoner works for his
own welfare and re-educatiOn, not
for the benefit Of the Swiss, but care
is taken to avoid unfair competition
with Swiss industry. He receives q
wage commensurate with his labor,
some governments requiring a portion
of the wage to be turned over to them
to be used toward the cost of main
tanning their prisoners.

NEED HELP ON MILK
LAW? EXPERTS
ADVICE AVAILABLE.

A study Of the milk ordinances
! Of many cities, large and small,
shows a great diversity Of Opin-
! ion among lawmakers and their
advisers as to what constitutes
! u proper milk ordinance. A
great luck of uniformity among
laws, some of which are entire
! ly out of date, has been noted.
: Many of them seem to be tran
! scripts of ordinances in force in
other cities, placed in the mu-
nicipal series Of laws without
regard to local conditions, and
! some contain provisions which
are unnecessary and unreason-
able and cannot be enforced.
Bulletin 585 Of the department
of agriculture suggests a form
of ordinance which, 1t is be-
lieved, will prove to be a satis-
factory framework upon which
} the average town or city can
build a finished, practicable law
) that, properly enforced, will Inn
prove the average milk supply

formity Of food laws.

Washington. - Casualties of the
American expeditionary forces, which
have not been published, but which
have been announced officially by
General Pershing, had been reduced
at noon, December 10, to a total of
1882. These, the war department

Major casualties, including killed
in action, died of wounds, died of dis
ease and died of other causes, 1880:
wounded, 64,862; missing and prison
ers, $50.
A large proportion of the 1882
names listed as wounded are minor
cases. it was said, many patients hav-
ing long since recovered and return

the total is really less, due to the
fact that General Pershing's total in
