BORN IN MARCH
AUTHORITY WARNS MOTHERS
NOT TO wEAN YOUNGSTERS
IN SUMMER MONTHS.

Lansing, March 30.-"Most people
arc born in the month Of"
Various guesses are made from
time to time. Usually the person
guessing believes that the month in
which he was born is the birth month
of plurality Of people. He notices
particularly when person has a
birthday in the same month that his
occurs and SO is prcjudiced in his
conclusions.
Highest birth rates are observed
during the spring and summer sea-
sens. Other things being equal the
mos. births should occur in the
months having 81 days. This leaves
March, May, July and Augustine
3l-day months-as claimants fol the
largest number of births.
April reported a daily average Of
2Sl births, or a total of 8,429, in
Michigan in 1921. Though March, a
3i-day month, reported the largest
number of births-8, 5S4--its daily
average was below that Of April, be-
ing 277, while the average for the
year was 263 daily.
In the period from 1910 to 1921,
March leads with the largest number
Of births seven times, August four
times and December once. In 1920,
for no apparent reason, the months
of January, May, June, July, August
and September are credited with
mere births than March. When
March leads it has been noted that
August is usually the runner-up, and
vice versa. In the world as whole,
however, statisticans have shown
that June is the greatest birth month.
Studies in infant mortality prove
that the late winter months with res
piratory diseases and the mid-sum-
mer months with diarrhcal diseases
are the most dangerous periods for
young children. Mothers with young
babies should endeavor TO breast
feed them throughout the summer
preparatory TO weaving them in the
fall" warns Harriet Leck, X. n, di-
rector Of child hygiene and public
health nursing of the state depart
cnt of health. "Weaning during the
hot weather is dangerous proceed
ing and should be avoided"

OBITUARY
Mrs. Silas W. Iewett


Mrs. Silas w. Jewett of Cornwall
whose death and funeral and family
connections we're spoken of in last
weeks Register, was so notably good
and useful a woman, that it seems de-
sirable to add something in regard to
her life and character
Mrs. Jewett joined the COngrega-
tional church in Weybridge by letter
March ), 1871, and has remained a
loyal and faithful member ever since.
While living three miles from the
church for the last twenty years she
has been a regular attendant and ac-
tive worker She has been in the Sun
day school as teacher or scholar, at
tended Christian Endeavor meetings,
been a leader in the w c. 7. L. and in
the Ladies Aid society, and, since the
missionary society was started, has
been deeply interested in that. She
also organized the Home Department
of the Sunday school and has been its
only superintendent No one in the
church has been more earnest and dill
gent in prayer
Besides the church work, Mrs Jew
EFT has been very ready to minister to
the poor and unfortunate, the sick and
dying, and many people can never fer
get kind services rendered them IN
time of need. She was conscientious,
faithful and energetic, and not only
sympathetic but anxious to express her
sympathy in practical ways Her home
which she greatly loved, has been a
place of hospitality and good cheer,
and not only her children but others
who have been for time inmates of
her household delight in acknowledge
ing their indebtedness to her Truly
she has been a leader in all good things.
1t was her lot to pass through a dis
tressing illness of several months pre-
vious to her death, but she faced the
inevitable with bravery, submission
and trust in God Her last words,
I'm going home, were significant and
will be cherished by her family and
friends The church and community
have met with a loss which cannot be
made good
