making campaign speeches out in the state last week. The
thousands of warm friends of Mr. Brennan everywhere
hope that he will soon be in good health again and that
he will be able to continue his winning fight for the United
States Senate. P. S. Mr. Brennan rests well after the op
eration has been performed.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
CITY OF CHICAGO
Herman N. Bundesen, M. D.,
Commissioner
How to Procure a Record of Birth or
Establish a Record Where None
Exist*—Free
Births are registered in the registra
tion office of the district in which the
birth occurred.
If the child was not born in Chicago,
its birth will not be recorded in the
Chicago Department of Health, nor
can its birth be placed on record there.
Birth records were kept by the De
partment of Health during the years
1898 to 1908. inclusive, and since Jan
uary 1, 1916, but not in the period from
1909 to 1915, inclusive.
To obtain a record of birth of a child
born in Chicago during the time of
recording mentioned above, application
should be made at Room 707, City
Hall.
If the birth occurred prior to 1898,
or in the period from 1909 to 1915, in
clusive, application should be made at
the office of the county clerk. Room
233, County Building. Records of
births occurring prior to 1871 were de
stroyed in the Chicago fire.
To Establish a Record of Birth
Commissioner Bundesen suggests
the following:
To establish a record of hirth of a
child born in Chicago whose birth has
not been recorded, proceed as follows:
1. Have the physician or midwife
who attended at the time of birth fill
out a b*rth certificate (state form V. S.
No. 1) and return it to the Department
of Health, together with this slip.
2. If the attending physician or
midwife has since died, or left the city,
and the present address cannot be
found, the father or mother of the child
may fill out, sign and file the birth cer
tificate, when accomapnied by affidavit
(state form V. S. No. 19). properly
filled out and signed by the father, if
living; or, in case of the death or ab
sence of the father, then the mother
may make the certificate and affidavit,
which should be sworn to before a
notary public.
3. When records are filed by affi
davit, the law requires that a fee of 25
cents shall be paid by the person upon
whose application the birth record is
recorded.

DR. ADENA C. E. MINOTT
HEADS WHITE ROSE ASS’N
Oh Thursday evening, September 9,
the White Rose Industrial Association,
Inc., 262 West 136th street, this city,
held its first meeting after its summer
recess.
Dr. Minott, the newly elected pres
ident, presided, and in a few well
chosen remarks delivered what might
be termed an inaugural address. She
expressed her attitude and intention
toward the association and her fellow
workers, outlined her platform and
presented a schedule of work for the
year.
Rev. George W. Allen responded in
an appropriate manner on behalf of the
board and the association.
The first move in the winter’s ac
tivities at the Home will be the ren
ovation and decoration of the entire
building, also a more extended instal- j
lation of electricity throughout. Es- j
timates for this work were submitted!
and the satisfactory ones accepted.
Many new members were admitted |
and the outlook for the year's work
seems gratifying.—The New York
Age. Sept. 11, 1926.
The many loving friends of Dr.
Minott here in this city where she
resided for some years are greatly
pleased to learn that she is becoming
greatly interested in civic work in New
York City and the White Rose Indus
trial Association needs a lady with the
ability or the capability like unto which
she possesses as its president.—

BULLETIN No. 74—PROTECT
YOUR PROPERTY FROM THE
SHOP-LIFTER
By Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins
Beware of shop-lifters.
With the opening of the fall shop
ping season, the first cool, crisp days
of early iutumn, shoppers Hock intd
the stores to lay in early supplies of
winter clothing, and the like, and with
the crowds come the shop-lifters.
Snch is the message to all retail
merchants contained in this week's bul
letin issued by Chief of Police Morgan
A. Collins.
Here are a few suggestions on how j
to protect your property:
Be on the lookout for suspicious
characters loitering about your place,
particularly women accompanied by
small children.
Watch the per«on who carries a coat,
traveling hrg or suit case. The coat
oftentimes is used to conceal stolen
articles and many bags and suit cases
are equipped with false bottoms.
Shop-lifters reap their biggest har
vest during the noon lunch period and
shortly before closing time. An un
guarded counter spells disaster for any
tradesman.
Under no circumstances leave the
salesroom to the mercies of a prospec
tive customer. Don’t trust prosperous
0
looking and smooth talking persons
with polished manners. Expert shop
lifters are invariably well dressed.
Do not permit any person caught
stealing to go without notifying the
police. They may be wanted by other
merchants.
Remember a shop-lifter in jail is a
safe investment for yourself and every
other merchant.
