He FIRED A BROADSIDE
Rev. FIR. Rice of Minocqua
is No Camouflage Speaker
But Hits From Shoulder.

No man, woman or child who
listened to the masterful and con-
vincing address of FIR. Peter Rice
at the opera house last night,
could go away without being a
100 per- cent American today,
tomorrow and for all time to
come. To those who were not
true Americans, and their num-
bers were few, certainly could not
have the grit to leave the opera
house; for, it would certainly
have branded them as lacking
the one essential qualification
patriotism.
With true American principals
as a liquidation and a touch OF
Irish wit used at the proper
place, FIR. Rice certainly held his
audience. And his utterances
were irrefutably right and to the
point.
He is one of the most convlnc-
ing speakers on American pat
riotism in the state.

RECORD EVERY BIRTH
Punishment for All Pers ons
Neglecting to Report Births
Which is Required by Law.

A strong effort is now being
made to place on record every
birth occurring in the State of
Wisconsin and to punish all per-
sons neglecting to report births
as required by law. The law re-
quires that physicians and mid
wives report all births attended
by them within five days after
the date of the birth IF no doc
tor or midwife was present at
the birth of a child the head of
the family in which the child was
born must report the birth to
the town clerk, the village clerk
or the city health officer within
FIVE days after the date of birth.
In some localities this law has
not been strictly observed, and
lists of births are now being
gotten from the clergy and
other sources to test the accur.
acv of the birth records in the
office of the state board o.
health at Madison. Prosecu
tons will probably follow i
this investigation shows that
violations of the birth registra
ton law by physicians, midwives
or heads of families have occur
red.
When a birth is placed on rec
ord at Madison, the parents are
notified thereof by a card. Par
| ents who have not received cards
announcing the registration o
their cbildren's birth should gel
busy at once to find out whether
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1918-03-13

these births are recorded or not.
The original certificate should be
on file in the office of the State
Board of Health at Madison,
and copy should be on file IN the
register of deeds office at the
county seat.
According to Doctor Louis
Dorpat, of Rhinelander who is
state health officer for the north
ern district of Wisconsin, the
Importance of birth registration
has been greatly underestimate.
There are number ofreasons, "
he says, " why the birth Of every
child should be placed on record.
1t is necessary for the good Of
the community not only that
accurate statistics should be kept
regarding the cause of death.
but also regarding births. These
statistics are the bookkeeping OF
public health work. Without
them we are entirely at sea with
regard to knowledge of practical
results in public health work and
sanitation. But there are many
other reasons why births should
be recorded. The present war
has forcibly brought home to
many the extreme Importance of
this matter. When the govern
ment makes allowances for sol
diers and those dependent on
them and of mothers pensions.
birth certificates will be greatly
in demand, for they will becalled
/ for before distribution of such
allowances is made. Legalques-
tons may arise at and time de-
handing proof of place and date
of birth.

This is one of tho latest releases on the Paramount program and was released immed lately following His Wedding Night" which appeared recently and convulsed those who saw it. "Oh.
