II HEALTH HINTS],
U;
Why register births, some people
ask? |
Some reasons are: That the birth, ji
date of birth, parentage and other
essential information for governmen-;
tal and Identification purposes may ,
be made a matter of official record
That the ages ot school children |
may be definitely known, making the j \
proper enforcement of school laws I
possible.
That the laws affecting child labor
may be effective, and the children
of the poor thereby protected.
That blindness may be prevented i
by prompt medical attention to the
infected eyes of the new-born.
That infection and mortality among
women may be prevented and that
young babies may be saved by immediate
attention by existing agencies
for the relief of the poor.
Why register deaths, some also
ask?
That there may be available complete
and accurate information as to
the deaths ot all human beings, with
dates ot death and causes of death,
to the end that preventable causes
of death may be eliminated and human
lives lengthened.
That the various public health agencies?national,
state and municipal?
may determine what part of our mortality
is preventable and when and
where preventable deaths occur.
That pestilential and epidemic diseases
may be detected promptly.
That we may apply our presentday
scientific knowledge of disease
prevention at the time and in the
place where such application is most
needed.
HEALTH QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
Mrs. E. II.: "Who started the presnnt.rtnv
fnH for nawonnol t
don't remember such a lot of fuss
about health when I was a girl."
Personal hygiene is not a fad. The
Greeks taught it three thousand
years ago as an essential in the upbuilding
of a vigorous nation.

JEET IN FRANCE
?? 1'
Frank Fisher Comes Across !
Serbian Who Formerly
Lived Here.
Far away In France a Fairmont boy
ran acrosi a Serbian, who used to
work tor Andy NIckolish, a road con- j
tractor, who did considerable work ,
tor Marion county. This ia the in- '
formation that Frank Fisher, & Fair- 1
mooter, who is a member o( the |
American Expeditionary force of engineers
who are building roads
"somewhere in France," writes, to his
aunt, Mrs. J. H. Abbott, of thi'a city. ,
This particular foreigner that Mr.
Fisher refers to had lired in Fair- 1
moot while the construction work
was being done. He is now a member
of French foreign legion.
Mr. Fisher write that everyone is
well, he is no doubt referring to the
Boldier boys as a whole and to the
several Fairmont boys who are engineers
in France with him. The weather
Is exceptionally fine according to
Fisher for this season of the year.
The letter was dated September 7.
Mention is made that he saw a division
of French troops leave for the
front. At this point the censor erased
the name of the place. Like the
vast majority of the soldier boys Mr.
Fisher wants something to smoke and
he requested his aunt to furnish him
with the same.
