Fnder the present law manufacturers of butter containing more than 16 per cent of water are compelled to pay a license of $600 per year as makers of adulterated butter and to pay a tax of 10 cents a pound on the amount sold Wholesalers of such adulterated butter are required to pay a license of f4S0 a year and retailers $ 4 S a year.

1ST DECIDE QUICKLY Must Name Babies Within Twenty Days After Birth Under Recent Law.
Parents should take notice that they must name their children within twen ty days after birth or the- secretary of the board of health may do it for them. A legislative enactment requires that births must be reported to the secretary of the board of health within twenty days, and each child nmst be given its name. In the event the parents fail to agree on a name for their offspring within the twenty days, it becomes the duty of the health oftievr to provide the name. There will be universal objection among the mothers. To decide upon the name for the baby is one of the most perplexing problems that coofronts the parents. To think that unless they have named their child in twenty days, some health officer will ssert his legal right and call him omethlng 'simply horrible, is mucn to contemplate. io iue ion lladys or Bernardino become known is plain Mary or Susan, really wouia e a severe disappointment and one to which they will not submit, declare manv mothers and fathers. From different parts of the state have come reports that the secretaries of health boards have refused to accept the duty although it means a violation of the law.
