HEALTH NOTES.

North Carolina has q recently enact
ed birth registration law, and the State
Board of Health is doing everything it
can to get the people to have the births
of their children recorded. The gov
ernOr of the state is very much inter
ested in securing universal compliance
with the law and to this end has special
recognition of every baby whose birth
is recorded under the new law, he will
write the mother letter and not only
compliment her on her motherhood, but
express his personal appreciation Of her
having awaited herself Of the privilege
Of the new law. Babies whose parents
do not think enough of them to have
their births recorded will Of course not
hear from the governor. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
Governor Craig was the first citizen Of
the State to avail himself Of the new
law by having his own birth recorded.
Many other prominent citizens Of the
state have followed his example.
