ICH|CAGO DOCTORS SAY
 | BEWARE OF KISSING
Agree That Disease Is Spread By Sweet Sugary
 0sculation.

CHICAGO, June l0-Beware og pro- miscuous osculation. Likewise se- feet your osculatory partners with care and discrimination.
 These were the warning notes on the gentle are of kissing voiced by Chicago doctors. The promulgation of the hints for kissers came as a sequel to a declaration before the American Medical Association Mon day at Atlantic City that the habit of kissing babies is responsible for much of the spread of consumption.
 Local tuberculosis experts agreed with that position. They also went further. They insisted, as a general proposition, that discretion Is the bet ter part of kissing. Be sure of your subject for osculation-then go ahead. This is the approved scientific rule.
 Listen, for instance, to few points , on oscillation from Dr. Theodore B. Sachs:
 "Of course, the medical association speaker was right in declaring that the kissing of baby, by tubercuious persons, is extremely dangerous, said the doctor. But something more should be borne in mind. Pro miscuous osculation. as general proposition, is not highly advisable You may not know whether or not you are kissing some one with tuber- culosis. And tuberculous people. of all ages, ssxss and degrees, should deny themselves the toys of s;sszlas tioD.
 "As for persons in normal health well. don't want to go on record aa favoring the doing away with the ro- ! mantle side of life. People in absO- Iutely good health may safely be al- i lowed to settle their osculatory af ! fairs for themselves. Use discretion in your kissing-that's the idea" Dr. Robert H. Bagcock and Dr. E. J. Kuh both agreed that kissing babies i by tuberculous persons is dangerous to degree. They did not oppose Dr. | Sachs general rules.

 The question of jointure in state hood with New Mexico was emphatic ally decided by the people of Arizona at the election last fall. The bill passed by Congress provided a sepa- rate referendum and the territories gave separate expressions. Arizona rejected the proposition by a vote of to l. The question cannot arise again except if Congress takes fur ther action Nothing was done at the last session and it is not expected that anything will be done in the i'm mediate future, especially in view of this very pronounced expression of the people.
