! refer to the indiScPiminate way IN
which most children indulge their
sppetites, consuming quantities Of
any and every kind Of eatables that
happen to appeal to their tastes;
and, since two Of such articles IN
particular, being great favorites,
namely coffee and chocolates, are
consumed almost constantly and In
great quantities, it is believed that
the pimply and rough faces Of many
otherwise either beautiful or hand
some young girls, are directly due
to the fact that both coffee and
chocolate are in many cases highly
indigestible, and are thus deleteriouE
to the health and physical comfort
of the consumers Of them.
Some instances in my own personal
experience have confirmed me in the
views expressed above, but their re-

REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS ARE SLOW
 IN UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The United States is behind in very important feature of its national ac- counting, according to a pamphlet just issued by the Children's Blu reau, United States Department of Labor. Only 20 States register the 90 per cent of their births neces- sary for them to be admitted to the birth-registration area of the United States. These States include little more than half of the population of the country. Most modern European countries have very complete sys- tems of births registration, and have had them for years.
 The pamphlet gives an outline for a birth-registration test which can be undertaken by any commun- ity. Many places have already made such a test as part of their child ren's year work In this way a town can learn how completely its births are registered. Incomplete registration may mean that new

law is needed or that the old one is not adequately enforced.
 It is the inalienable right of every child to have his birth registered, says the pamphlet. A birth certi ticate proves his age and citizenship, his right to go to school to go to work, to marry, to hold office, to secure passports for foreign travel, and, finally, it may prove his moth CTS right to widows pension With Americas entry into the war thous- ands of boys and young men who wished to enter the military ser vice found it necessary to furnish proof of their age and citizenship and were unable to do so
 Birth registration is important for society as a whole, as well as for the individual. The infant-mor tality rate is the most sensitive and satisfactory index to the well-being of the whole community but with

 Birth registration is particularly valuable as q guide to welfare work among mothers and babies. Nearly half of the babies who die before reaching their first birthday do so in the first four weeks of life. The prompt recording of the birth en- ables the public health nurse, who uses the record as a guide, to call upon the mother and give advice and aid in the first few critical days of the baby's existence.
