The joint session of the Ark.
and Ten Presbyterian Synod,
which. was in session at Texar-
lama, last week. adopted a reso-
luton asking the Arkansas Leg
islature 10 amend the law in re-
gard TO marriage license, as fok
lows.
First. whether either party
had been previously married;
second, whether party had been
divorced; third, if either party
had been divorced, which of ehe
parties OF the former marriage
secured the divorce and on what
grounds and where granted"
We can see no good reason
for making the marriage license
an information bureau. There
would be just as much reason
for asking afot of other ques-
tions; and since the questions
would not effect the right to
marry. they would simply be
s;we wasted.

OBJECTS TO FLOATING OYSTERS
Bivalves Should Be Kept Out of
 Sewage Polluted Water.

The report of the state board ok health for the month of January gives some attention to the oyster, comment being made upon the an- nouncement of the National Associa- tion of Oyster Growers and Dealers that it's object is to prove the purity of the oyster as food. In connec- tion with this announcement Secre- tory Joseph H. Townsend of the state board of health says:
 ''The oyster is highly prized as an article of food, and the oyster busi- ness is conducted in Connecticut on an extensive scale, employing large capital and many hands, so that it's promotion and protection should be encouraged. It is not the general belief of physicians and scientists that oysters are common cause of typhoid fever, but that they have been the cause of several epidemics has been abundantly proven. Near ly all the oysters raised in this state are grown off shore, in the deep water of Long Island Sound, where they are probably free from danger of contamination. It is only when few days before marketing they are brought in and placed on sub merged rafts called floats, in the brackish water at the mouths of rivers or in harbors which are pol luted by sewage, that they become source of danger to public health when eaten raw. This process is called the floating or fattening' of oysters, whereby they absorb large quantities of the fresher water, giv- ing them a winter and bumper ap- pearance, but does not in any way increase their nutritive value. Not all oysters are fioated, and many of the larger dealers have discontinued the practice altogether, but it is still done to some extent. It is not only dangerous practice, but it hurts the good name of the oyster. The state board of health few years ago placed itself on record as condemn ing the practice and urged it's dis continuance with the oyster growers. This newly formed association can in no better way prove the purity of the oyster than to show the public. ludI lht UT ldllCHin6 Ol oysters in sewage polluted water has been stopped"
 There were 1,534 deaths during the month of January. which was eighty-four more than in December and 162 less than in January, 1907. The death rate was 1S.3 for the large towns, TIA for the small towns and lS1 for the state. Among the infectious diseases reported were two cases of smallpox, 276 of meas les, 205 of sarclet fever. of cerebro spinal fever. 137 of diphtheria and croup, S9 of typhoid fever and 70 of consumption. The number of births in December, 1907, was 1.79S and the number of marriages 423. The highest death rates in towns of over 5000 population were, Stamford, 34.7; Greenwich. 26.4, and Killing ly, 23.2. while the lowest was in the town of Thompson, 5.1.

Cruise a Naval Maneuver.
 New York, Feb. 17.-war between the United States and Japan would be ''the most inhuman event in the worlds history and too heIlish to be thought of" said Baron Kogoro Taka- hira, the new Japanese ambassador to Washington, upon landing in this city from the steamer Etruria. He said the Japanese people know nothing of break in the cordial relations which have been historic between the two nations. Talk of war, Baron Takahira asserted with much emphasis. was ut. terly unintelligible to him unless. as some one had suggested. 1t was spread broadcast to serve the commercial ends of certain newspapers.
 The new ambassador said there might be affairs pending in Washing. ton which would require his attention, but they were not serious. As to the cruise of the American feet to the Pn. cific ocean. he regarded 1t purely as . naval maneuver on a grand scale, de- signed to show to the world at large that America had q wonderful naval power which could be dispatched any. where at a moments notice @in sups port of a legitimate cause, which al. ways Is at the bottom of Americari diplomacy
