French Railroads Reduce Rates
for Large Families.-The French
Chamber of Deputies, according to a
Paris report, on Wednesday of last
week passed a bill by which it is
provided that families having four
or more children will enjoy special
privileges as to railroad fares
Those travelling third class will be
given reductions in rates amounting
to thirty per cent. to families having
four children, forty per cent. to those
having five children, and fifty per
cent. to those having six or more
children.

Denikin's Army Being Steady
Driven Back by Bolsheviki. - The
position of the anti-Bolshevik leader
in South Russia, General Denikin, is
rapidly becoming extremely critical
and, with the utter collapse of the
! Kolchak forces in Siberia, and the re-
lease by the armistice, for use in
South Russia, of the Soviet forces
which have lately been occupied in
the activities on the Esthonian Dor
der, it now seems unlikely that Gen.
eTal Denikin will be able to defer
final defeat for more than a few
weeks or perhaps but few days.
Latest reports indicate that his
forces are retreating on all fronts
and that the Russian Soviet army is
in hot pursuit. By recent sudden
concentration of forces against Deni-
kin's center an important victory
was secured by the Bolsheviki, and
they are now exploiting their advan-
tage to the fullest possible extent.
There is also said to be another
threatening situation in Transcaspia
where the Bolsheviki claim that they
hace occupied Djebel station. More
over, Red reinforcements continue to
arrive in the Merry region of Trans
caspia, thus seriously menancing the
borders of Persia and Afghanistan
and cutting off the retreat of Deni-
kin's army in that direction.

British Forces in India Have
Heavy Fighting With Tribesmen.-
Dispatches coming from India, via
London, under date of December 18
and 20 show recent heavy fighting be-
tween revolving tribesmen and the
British forces. 1t is reported that in
recent action a British column,
fighting against 1000 Mahsuds and
another force composed of Waziri
and Mahsuds who occupied the hills
westward of Jandola, captured the
Sarkai Ridge, driving the tribesmen
from their positions with heavy loss
es, airplanes following the tribesmen,
harassing them and causing many
casualties. The losses of the Brit
ish in this action are said to have
been light. Later, it is reported, the
tribesmen counter attacked and COM
PEELED The British to retire after suf-
fering considerable losses; still later,
however, the British, in an action
lasting but two hours, captured the
positions from which they had been
forced.

MILK MUST COME
UP TO REGULATIONS

Unnecessarily, there appears to be
a lot of misunderstanding with refer
ence to the recent declaration of the
State Boar dof Health regarding the
sale of skinned milk in small cans"
said Commissioner Harris Tuesday.
"The matter is very simple. Canned
whole milk, or condensed milk, may
be sold as heretofore. 1t is the skim
med milk at which the State Board Of
Health is aiming in its regulations.
GAS this Department is charged
with the enforcing of the regulations,
and as our Inspectors will have this
matter under their observation, l wish
to get the public straight on the mat
ter. The State Board of Health made
this regulation not because the can
ned skinned milk is poisonous, but
but because it has not full nourish-
mcnt.
"The regulation of the State Board
as to the SKINNED milk provides that
it must not be sold in packages or
tins containing less than one gallon
Of liquid or ten pounds of powdered
skinned milk, also that at the stores,
shops, or places where such condens-
ed evaporatcd or powdered skinned
milk is sold a sign must be displayed
upon which is printed in black letters
at least five inches i'm height and
worded as follows: condensed, cvap-
GRATED on powdered skinned milk
should not be fed to babies or invalids
it has not the food value Of whole
milk
Mothers who have reared their lit
tie ones upon the condensed milk of
certain well established brands need
! feel no alarm, for that kind of milk
has not been put under the ban of the
State Boar dof Health. And as the
skinned milk is not actively injurious,
but is merely lacking in fat, the State
Board Of Health has suggested that
the merchants who have bene inno-
cent purchasers of stocks be allowed
ninety days fro mOctober 7th in
which to rid themselves of what they
have on hand, and wholesalers have
been ordered to buy and sell no more
except under the form provided by the
State Board of Health.
"On account Of SO many people
f'ockin@ to centcrs of population
where it is impractical to keep a fam
lily milk cow, it is necessary for some
mothers to find substitute for fresh
milk for their children, and the re-
gulation by the State Board of Health
will impose no hardship upon them,
for they may continue to use the
whole milk. But, hereafter, watch the
label and see that it does not read
January it will be unlawful to sell
SKINNED milk for after the 1st of
that kind of milk in small tins"

SUPREME COURT
TO DECIDE CASE
Fight in New York Not Ended by Or.
der of Interstate Commerce Com
mission.

Albany, N. Y, Nov 29.-The su-
preme court of the United States
ultimately will be called upon to
decide the jurisdiction Of the inter
state commerce commission over in
trastate passenger and baggage
rates, it was announced today at the
office of the Attorney General New
ton. The order Of the commission
yesterday that the railroads opcrat-
ing in New York establish intrastatc
passenger and baggage rates to con
form to the interstate schedule by
increasing their passenger rates from
3 20 Sc cents mile, will not end the
fight of the state authorities for a
restoration Of the two cents a mile
rate between Albany and Buffalo, the
attorney general said.
This is Il sweeping and entirely
new dccision," said Attorney General
Newton, regarding The commission'.;
order ''Hcrctoforc the states alone
have exercised the power to fix local
rates. During war congress fixed
all rates, but under the Esch Cum
MINIS bill the old state rates were
restored.

prcmc court at Albany decided last
week that the old two cent fare on

One witness was confused on the
point as to whether the prisoners
were shot while attempting to cs-
cape.
Taking the stand after Capt. Pa
trick Kelly of the local gendarmerie
and the Jail sergeant had denied
every native charge regarding whole
sale murders, Lang declared that he
had shot only one prisoner. "This
was a division bandit" he said, "who
was brought from the Jail by gen
darme to my residence for question
ing. The bandit chief refused to talk
and was ordered RECALLED. He tried
