days of the campaign to the subject
of birth registration, in order to stimu-
late public interest in the securing OF
more adequate birth registration laws
throughout the country. At present, ac-
cording to the United States bureau
of the census. the only states in which
law demands that the births of babies
be recorded in the public archives are
the New England states, Pennsylvania
and Michigan.
In addition to these states, there are
two cities which the census bureau in
cludes in it's provisional birth registra-
ton area. These are New York and
Washington, D. c. Though birth regis
tration in these states and cities is not
absolutely complete. they comprise the
only area in the United States in which
anything like adequate birth registra-
ton exists.

phine Baker director of the bureau Of
child hygiene of the New York city de-
partment of health. lis the starting
point of about IS per cent of our effec-
tive baby-saving work"
That need for birth registration ex-
lists is evidenced by letters which the
children's bureau receives from all
parts of the country. Not long ago a
letter came to Miss Lathrop from one
of the most remote of the south's rural
districts. saying:
I'VE are writing you because we have

there's lots of reasons. First and fore.
most, we haven't ever had one, and,
in the second place, taxes are just
about as high as folks will stand for.
Anyhow, you're doing pretty well, and
SO am /, so what's the use Of worrying
about it?"
"Confound you and the way you look
at the whole proposition" exclaimed
the farmer as he brought his fist down
on the counter. You say It will raise
the taxes. l know that just as we'll as
you or anybody else, reckon. know,
too, that l myself have made that same
old, lame excuse for not having better
schools You say I'm making money on
the farm, and you're making money
here in the bank, so we shouldn't
worry a bit. Man alive, the trouble
with both of US and lot of other folks
is, that we've let the dollar in our eye
get so big that we can't see around it
at all. We're selfsatisfied and we're
willing to farm and to bank and make
money and let things kinder drift"
Say, look here" exclaimed the
banker, you're doing a whole lot of
talking, but you haven't given me any
real idea of what started this big
Spasm OF yours"

It all happened before l had any idea
that they were anywhere near old

this simply means that I've got to pull
up stakes and move into town some

1 can do in town, so I'll have to loaf
and potter around and worry lot be-
cause Ill know the farm won't be kept
up like I've kept It,"
But why do you say that you have
got to go?" asked the banker.
Because" answered the farmer
slowly and thoughtfully, because

that every child in this country that
wants the advantages of a good educa-
tion is entitled to 1t, If 1t is possible to
give 1t to him. wouldn't do anything

mighty short-sighted, to say the least.
Why haven't l, why haven't you had

watching your money grow as It goes

to be as parents"
But you forget there's another side

Hold on a minute, Mr.. Banker, hold

question; there never was and never
will be any other side to It. I want to
tell you that I've been running this
thing over in my mind a whole lot in
the past few weeks and there amt any
other side to the question. The whole
thing is as plain as the nose on your
face. Here It is. The child has q
mind and 1t is the only thing that1l
save it from being a nobody and q
failure in life. So when the child says
it wants that mind trained neither you
nor nor anybody else has got any
right to get in the child's way"
Perhaps there is something in what
you say. It might"
Perhaps, nothing" exclaimed the
farmer. you and l and every other
man down In this part of the country
have hurt and crippled enough hne
children who simply couldn't get away
so they could be really educated. Be-
sides we have run lots and lots Of the
best of them away and they didn't ever
come back, either. Mine are going
away, and don't know whether they
will ever come back, and can't blame
them one bit. Perhaps, you say, per.
haps, my goodness, man, here we are
living in an age when an education is
everything and we kill all chances in

The subject of complaints pc.

Many a suffering woman, in
fluenced by shrinking modeSty,
has borne this grievous condition
without complaint rather than
make a personal appeal. When
women say II am all run down

they are victiams of the modern
malady.
Such women, and they are a
legion in every community, suf-

Their spirits are always depress-

normally happy ones of their
more fortunate sister. Often
too, there are spells of nausea,
