1t is not generally known that in France
1t Is a penal offense TO give any form OF
solid food to babies under a year old
unless 1t be prescribed in writing by a
properly qualified medical man. Nurses
are also forbidden TO use for their charges
any sort OF feeding bottle having a rub
Der tube. These and other equally strfn-
gent laws have recently been enacted by
the French government. for in despair OF
increasing the birth rate of their coun-
try they are now doing their utmost to
save the lives of the comparatively small
number OF babies who are born.

II is not intended TO assign a senior

Each commanding officer will receive

The patrol Is necessary because OF the

Canada. The commission had agreed
upon a mode OF settling the Boring Sea
seal question, under which the United
States would have purchased the seal
