E Cold 1T, the Head"

is an acute attack of Nasal Catarrh.
 Those subject to frequent "cOlds in the head" will find that the use of HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE will build up the System, cleanse the Blood and render them less liable to colds. Repeated attacks of Acute Catarrh may lead to Chronic Catarrh.
 HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE is taken internally and acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System, thus reducing the inflamma- tion and restoring normal conditions.

Is Cooley In Navajo or
 Apache County

We are informed by County Attorney Greer that he will file a suit in the supreme court asking that the boundary line between Navajo and Apache counties be determined with positiveness. There has been considerable fric- ton among the officers of the two counties of late over assessments, and it is said that this action is to be taken in order to prevent such occurrences in the future.
 There has been considerable doubt existing among the people of both counties as to which coun- ty the town of Cooley and the big Apache Lumber Company's mill are located in. We are of the opinion that the determination of these facts is what is causing the suit in the supreme court. There is about a million dollars worth of property in and about Cooley, and 1t is natural that almost any county in the country would try to secure it if it were possible. At. any rate, the suit in the su. preme court will settle the mat ter, as the statutes require that such action be taken directly with that court in order to settle mat ters of the kind. We are told that this will be done. -Holbrook Tribune.

Methodists of Corning, N. Y., Plan Out
 door Auditorium.
 The congregation of the old First Methodist church in Corning, N. T., believes it has evolved an innovation that will keep the young people of the city in the church.
 A roof garden will be one of the fea- lures of the church the coming sum- mer, the official board has announced. The garden, however, is to be used mostly for holding of religious serv- ices during the warmer months, but will have all the characteristics of the most worldly amusement places. Atop the historic brick structure of the church, it will help to lure, the elders believe, the young folk of the church.

up several local men here on Labor

FIND MANY WHO
LACK LEGAL PROOF
REGARDING BIRTH
CHECKS STATES RECORDS.
FAILURE TO REPORT BIRTHS
TO BRING PROSECUTION

Can YOU prove-legally-you were
born? C. c. Jernane, special agent
Of the u. S. Census Bureau, is now
checking vital statistics records of
the stat department of health to
learn what percentage of births go
unrecorded in Michigan, what per-
centage of people have no legal
proof of birth.
Births of hundreds of children
born each year IN the state are new
'er recorded. present indications of
the work reveal. In other words, il
is said. these children may never be
able to prove-legally-that they
were born and entitled to the rights
Of citizenship.
"This means, declares DR.. William
j. V. Dean. director of the bureau OF
communicable disease and vital sta
tistics. "that the phys clan, midwife,
attendant, or head Of the family in
each of these cases is guilty of mis-
demeanor under the state law and
liable to fine and Imprisonment and
prosecut on at any time for failure
to report births.
Counties sparcely settled and
communities peopled with large
percentage of those having little
knowledge of the value of birth reg
istration, where m dwives or no at
tendants are employed are showing
the greatest number Of unrecorded
births. Records of the division of
vital statistics are being used every
day by citizens of the state for the
purpose of proving the right to in
herit property, working papers, pen
sions, or to prove legitimacy.
"To neglect to record child's
birth is not only unlawful but is dis
tinctly unfair to the child"

Plead Guilty To Minor Charge

The cases against FLOYD Warner,
Dick Neon and Orville Hall were
disposed Of in Justice Lapham's
court Thursday, when the three
plead guilty to reckless driving and
Warner paid a fine of $25 and $3.50
costs, while Moon and Hall paid
fines of so and $3.50 costs each. The
boys had been charged with driving
while intoxicated and refused to
plead guilty to such a charge, stat
ing that they wer not intoxicated
and that they would rather try out
the case and clear themselves than
to plead guilty for the sake of set
Ting it up. They stated to the JUS
tice however that they would plead
guilty to reckless or negligent driv-
ing and this plea was accepted and
the cases closed. Hall. who was in
iured in the accident had left the
hospital and bore no signs of his
ever having been in a wreck which
nearly cost him his life.
