A WORD TO PARENTS

twenty-five new babies for everv
1000 people is what the stork NAV
be expected to bring to this town this
year. Perhaps a little arrival is ex-
pected IN your home in the near fu-
lure; perhaps he came a few weeks
ago. In either case, just remind
er OF an important duty you owe the
little one-make sure that his birth
is properly recorded with the author
tiles. Here are some of the reasons
why births should be recorded:
Ito establish identity.
10 prove nationality.
$40 prove legitimacy.
40 show when the child has the
right to enter school.
5-To show when the child has the
right to seek employment under
the child-labor law.
so establish the right of inheri-
b tance to property.
Ito establish liability military
duty, as well as exemption there
from.
$50 establish the right to vote.
9-To qualify to hold title to, and
to buy or sell real estate.
1O-To establish the right to hold
public Office.
Ito prove the age at which the
marriage contract may be en-
tered into.
l2-To make possible statistical stu
dies of health conditions.
The United States Public Health
Service has just published a little
pamphlet for expectant mothers. You
can obtain copy free of charge by
addressing the information Editor,
United States Public Health Service,
Washington, D. C. Ask for pamphlet
entitled Motherhood.
Q. My daughter has asked me
some questions that l find it rather
difficult to answer and also whether
she should be told anything about
lsex. She is 15 years old. Can YOU
give me some information on the sub
ject, or suggest the names of some
books | might read?
A. Unless you are able to answer
the questions your daughter asks she
will most certainly ask some oneielse,
who may not hesitate to answer.

LETTERS FROM
HE PEOPLE

Editor Times-Recorder:- Much
has been, and is being said in regard
to methods of raising sufficient funds
to. pay a justly needed increase in
salary for the teachers of the local
public schools.
The B. R. T. resolution published
IN yesterdays paper contains some
good suggestions, but in my opinion
are at fault in that they do not
carry the suggestion that the entire
tax digest be published each year.
Publicity is cure for all ills when
properly applied and it can ba applied
to the raising of the tax valuations
with greater abundance of "re-
turns" than any other business.
1t is of course plain that every
mans neighbor knows about what he
is worth, but under the present sys-
tenn he is not going to the clerk to
find if his neighbor returned his prop
erty at full valuation. The publica-
tion of the tax digest each year
would enable all to see just what is
being done by each man without the
trouble and time it is now necessary
to expend
This, believe, would bring in
more money than any head tax plan
that could be devised and would
place the burden of the taxes where
it belongs, on thos who are enriched
by the enhanced property values of
a growing, intelligent community.

THE MOSQUITO
IS DEADLY
Disease Carrying Insects Every
where Danger

Mosquitoes have always been with
us but their true character has only
been recognized a short time. They
are carriers of Malaria germs and
other deadly diseases. DR.. Carroll, a
government investigator in Cuba, says
Natural yellow fever is transmitted
by the mosquito and always and only
by the mosquito"
The mosquito bite is often as dead
ly as rattlesnake's.
By every method known to man
kind both the national and local
health services are trying to extermi-
nate the mosquito. But this will
never be.
We must protect ourselves against
this pest, by proper screening and the
use of TORMENT. TORMENT is a
gaseous vapor in which no mosquito
or fly can live, It is death to in
sects.
Torment is sold by druggists, gen.
eral stores and dealers everywhere.
Manufactured by G. B. Williams
Company, Quitman, Ca. exclusively.
