MAKE THE RECORD NOW.

Physicians are charged with new
duty under an act of the Legislature in
regard to filing certificates of births with
township, village and city clerks. The
act takes effect on January /, 1906.
Under the old law births were enum-
Grated by assessors and supervisors once
year, which proved to be very i'm
perfect and inaccurate way. When
filed promptly within ten days after
birth, the returns should be complete
and reliable. Blanks and instructions
have been mailed to all physicians in
the state by the secretary of state,
Lansing, who has charge of this matter.
