.T,euro.x Not hereditary.

A Franciscan nun. Sister ALBANIA. has
recently returned from the Hawaiian
Islands. where she has for eleven years
been tending the children of lepers. She
says there is no truth In the statement
that the children inherit the disease
from their parents. She and her com
panlon take the children away when
they are two days old, and she states
that they have never had a case where
Ieprosy has developed in after years.
Most of the children thus tended and
rescued come from the island of Mo-
lokai. the lepdr colony. This is anoth-
err example of the modern scientific
teaching that no diseases are transmits
sibIe TO offspring. The only thing which
is hereditary Is a predisposition to GER
tain diseases when conditions which
are favorable to such occur In the en-
vironment of the offspring.
