mier—Facilitates Realty .. Zransfers The ‘Torrens system:is a method by which any and ‘all interests in land are | sood transferred by, the éxamination, cer- tification and-registration ‘of titles by public officials and a guaranty: of title by. the estate.to-protect the purchaser. It. was. originally prepared. by S Robert Torrens, premier of South Aus- tralia, in 1858. He aimed at-a simple and businesslike:. act’ which-. would climinate: technicalities which made the transfer of real estate expensive. His act provides that any, owner may go to the registrar's office, show reasonable: proofs. of ownership. and after an examination of the title under the superyision of the registrar, with due notice to all shown to be inter- ested, the registrar may Issue a certifi- cate of title on which the holder may. legally rely, : Dealings: on Certificate. Once: the.-title -is- registered, all fu- ture dealings are made: directly upon the certificate. In case of sale, the old certificate is canceled and a new one issued to the new owner.. One of the valuable features in that at the] ¢ time ofthe ‘first registration the title is examined by a lawyer “under ‘the supervision, of the registrar, in the same. manner as* though.for a. pur- chaser,. but thig.one examination suf- tices for all time. In Australia, a new land where ab- stracts represented no considerable investment half a century ago, the ‘Torrens ‘system met‘ prompe. accept- ance. Modifications of the system are now in use in Europe and within the last 20 years it has gained great favor in various parts.of she United States, several states having passed acts em- bodying the: Torrens principl¢. Voluntary in America. The American idea. has been to adopt a voluntary-act permitting such land owners:as desired to: get their Property under its operation. A Torrens act establishes a bureau of registry, where. thé owner of. a piece of real: estate can submit evi- dence of such ownership and receive a registered: certificate of title. The transfer of a land title certifi- cate becomes as simple and inexpens- ive as the transfer of a certificate of stock or a bank share. After a pieca of property is once on the registry, subsequent transfers cost. little. Lexs ‘Than An Hour. A conveyance. can, be. entered in less than an hour.

In exempting: purchagers of real es- tate from danger of a flaw in the title, the ‘Torrens system creates an insur- ance fund to indemnify others who may suffer.loss through ‘misdescrip- tion, omission or other error in the certificate. “ This fund is provided by the imposi- tion of a tax of a fraction of 1 per cent of the ‘value of the-land at the time the first:certificate‘is granted, in addition to the registration fees.

Nearly all the sickness incident to a baby's life is due to constipation, or inaction of the bowels, At the first indication of irregularity in this im- portant function, reliet should be af- forded promptly. A mild laxative should be administered to gently car- Ty off the congested waste and leave the stomach and bowels free to per- form their allotted tasks. Of the various remedies recom- mended to relieve constipation, the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, as prescribed ‘by Dr. W. B, Caldwell and sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syr- up Pepsin, is the most effective. “It contains no opiate or narcotic drug, is pleasant to the taste, mild and gen- tle in action, and quickly brings the desired relicf in an easy, natural man- ner, - Mrs. (©.
