The state does not seek to build up n military class which nt the prop. CT ago will be forced to do U tour of military duty.

 The first official act which should be performed for any child tx tho prompt recording of a ccrtiflcnte of birth. Tho performance of thls registration is vested in tho physi. cIun or midwife in nttendance--or to either parent when there is no attendants; and no more solemn or important duty could bo delegated to these responsible persons.
 The thought of unrecorded real estate is intolcrnble--n0 ono would buy property unless it had a cloar title. Yet real property could exist, though unrecordcd, just ns people exist to-day whose very existence is uDrccordcd.
 It is n characteristic of human nnturc to tako personal existence lightly, possibly because it iB in- tangible. The average persons inc tcrcst in himself ls naturally self cent cred. and hc or shc may over look the fact that the state is in- tcrcstcd in thls existence,

 lar Increase Important


 The average weight at birth ls about seven pounds. However. the baby may weigh as little as i've pounds nnd as much as i2 and stlli De normal. During the first three or i've days Of life, . bnbys loses about six 70 10 ounces. Tho weight IA regnined by the 10th to i4th day. !. The loss of pound or two of weight makes little difference in the adult but it Is n serious matter for a young baby. A pound or two loss means as much to the baby as lOtor ID pounds does to the nvcr- age adult. for it is 10 per cent or more of the total body weight.
 h the baby fails to gain in Weigpt Tor several weeks, the loss ot pound or two becomes notice- able. The average gain In weight is so small it cannot ba detccte ed i without weighing. During tho first 6 months baby should gain about SIX % eight ounces q week. and from the sixth to tho 18th month ne should gain four ounces a week,
 Average Baby The following table gives the np- pr0ximnte weights of the average baby by weeks A baby may weigh sushfiy more or less and still be entirely normal.
 Regular increase in weight is of more importance than conforming to tubie:
 End of week normal baby should weigh about pounds.
 End of weeks normal baby should weigh about pounds, 2
 
 End of wccks normal baby should weight about 2 pounds, i4
 End of weeks normal baby shounl weigh about 8 pounds. 6 ounces,
 End of i've weeks normal baby should weigh about s pounds, i2'
 End of six weeks normal baby should weigh about Q pounds, 3
 End of seven weeks normal baby should weigh about Q pounds, 10 ounces.
 End of eight weeks normal baby should weigh about 10 pounds.
 End or nlne weeks normal baby should weigh about ton pounds six
 End Of ten weeks normal baby should wolgh about 10 pounds is ounces.
 End of eleven weeks normal baby should weigh about il pounds ounces.
 End of twelve weoks normal baby should weigh about ii pounds ounces.
 When q young baby falls to gain In weight satisfactorily for oven ono week. it means that thcre is something wrong with him or the food. Whatever it is, it should be rcmedled at once. To delay until baby has lost weight for several weeks or until the loss of weight reaches q pound or two, always lcssens the baby's chances Of prompt recovery.
 It is very much easier to keep q young baby well and gaining stead- fly than 1t is to have him regain lost weight. or 10 get him well

How thoroughly silly the business
OF lawmaking can be at times Is we'll
known to residents OF Bismarck, VINO
have had ample opportunity to OBJ
serve the state legislature In action.
That the same thing applies to the
national congress Is illustrated by a
little happening the other day in the
lower house in connection with the
airmail controversy.
One of the Republicans, Fish of
New York, asked unanimous consent
to print In the record the message
Of Col. Lindbergh to the president.
Majority Leader Byrns entered vio-
lent objection.
The next business on the calendar
also required unanimous consent and
Fish objected. The result was an
impasse ana 1875 presumably able and
intelligent men went home for the
afternoon to let the feelings OF their
colleagues cool off. The forced recess
halted all business.
Meanwhile. over in the senate, the
message was being entered in the
same congressional record without
protest on motion of Senator Schall.
When congressman examined the
record the next day they found what
fools they, or at least two of them,
had been.
The significant thing IS that the
|Lindbergh message was not impor-
tant enough to cause squabble and
"a breakdown in legislative processes.
Eevn II 1t were, 1t is not as though
the congressional record were the only
means Of giving it to the public. The
average citizen already knew the basis
for Col. Lindberghs complaint by
reading his daily newspaper.
