The people Of North Dakota, for q ear
or two past, have been placing new laws
on their statute books, which some PEG.
pie call progressive and others radical,
according to the cast of their minds.
One of these has been called into the
limelight within q day or two, because
the first case under IL has been brought
before the courts. The law In question
is one to establish the legitimacy of chill.
dren born out Of wedlock. The provis-
lon 10 for child so born to receive Its
fathers name, become his legal heir, TO
share In any estate jointly with other
legal heirs and to be entitled to support,
shelter and education equally with other
children born In legal marriage. Suit to
establish the natural psrentsgs Of child
must be instituted within one year after
birth, the facts to be proved as 10 any other
legal action-that is construed rs placing
the burden OF proof upon the plaintiff.
This law was passed by the Legislature
of 1917.
Perhaps IL has escaped the attention OF
railroad travellers that the present year
marks the century Of the beginning OF
the first passenger-carrying railway In
the world. II such Is the fact, echoes OF
the celebration Of the event, which took
place recently at the quaint English town
OF Narm-on-Trees may recall IL to their
minds. IL was In 1920 that eight men
formed company to construct q railway
from Darlington 10 Stockton, a distance
Of twenty-five miles, with George Ste
phenson As engineer. Il took five years
to build the road, so Ii was opened on
September 81, 1925. The celebration
took the form Of dinner, at which
thirty descendants Of the original eight
pioneers were present.

HEADS
WILL MEET MAYOR
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Weekly Staff Conference viii
Be Feature Of New Admins
tration-Mayor Seeks Bet
ter Cooperation.

Mayor Rowlett Paine has called a
conference of heads Of all city depart
ments for Wednesday night In the city
council chamber. He plans to have
such a conference each week. and from
time to time, beside the bureau heads,
other subordinate officials win be asked
to attend.
His idea is that there has been much
lost motion at the city hall through
failure OF the different departments to
coordinate their work, and that by
holding these weekly staff meetings,
more efficient service can be given to
the public, by arranging for closer CO.
operation by each city department with
the others.
Policemen, sanitary officers, street
inspectors and other minor officials
cover the same territory, but apparent
ly, none Of them report on any mat
tiers except those in their immediate de-
partment. Much time can be saved,
Mayor Paine believes, by having police
men and firemen, for example, in
structed to report upon anything that
they observe, whether it is a trash pile
that is a fire hazard, a leaky hydrant,
or a trash container that has not been
emptied.
The officials invited to the first meet
ing. include the city attorney and his
assistant, the city paymaster, city
clerk, superintendent Of the health de-
partment, city treasurer, collector OF
licenses, building inspector, electrical
inspector, city engineer, and his chief
clerk, the city auditor and the chiefs of
the police and fire departments.
Mayor Paine will have a conference
Of all employees of the health depart
ment Wednesday morning. He held a
conference Monday afternoon with the
members of the city recreation commits
sion and will meet Tuesday night with
the Memphis and Shelby County Medi-
cal society.
The mayor also accepted the invita-
ton to join Chairman Heard and the
members Of the county court at dinner
Monday.

and nervous that it was an effort for
me to WORK at all. For the past eight
months | couldn't eat a bite of break
isst and the little l managed to eat at
other times seemed to do me very little
good. l was so nervous and restless
that | couldn't half sleep and always
felt tired and worn out. l had no en-
ergy and but little strength left and felt
miserable and unfit for anything.
But ] am an entirely different mar
since l began taking Tanlac. l sleep
like a log every night and get up feel
ing SO hungry l can hardly wait for
breakfast to be put or the table. I am
full of new life and energy and feel so
strong and active I believe / could win

pounds in weight and am feeling just
fine. There sure is something about
Tanlac that does the work all right"
