 On this side Jordan's wave, In a vale in the land of Moab,
 There lies a lonely grave And no one knows that sepulchre.
 And no man saw it e CT; For angels of God upturned the sod
 And laid the dead man there That was the grandest funeral

 Comes back when the night is done, And the crimson streak on oceans

comes available in the establishment

For these same reasons the regis
tration of the deaths is required.
The doctor or midwife VINO attends
a birth is required to file certificate
of birth with the local registrar of
the district in which the birth occurs
within ten days. In case there is no
midwife or doctor in attendance, then
the parents Of the child are required
to make the certification.
The undertaken or person acting as
such is required to file the death GER
tificate, and physician will sign the
cause of death. A burial permit must
be secured before disposing of dead
body. .t. -tir--...
DR.. James G. Williamson, Jr., Is the
local registrar, Is anxious that the
people generally understand the i'm
portance of the fling of these certifi-
Gates and the making of the proper
records. It is important both to the
individual and the state, and the
hearty cooperation Of every person is
desired in the carrying OUT of the pro-
visions Of the law.
1t is pointed out that IT, provi-
sions of the law are carefully follow
ed out that it will be of great help
ITO the health authorities in the hand
ling and stamping out many physical
