.EMBLAMERS ASK LICENSES.
Nine Applicants Take Examination
Before State Board.

DR.. T. B. Beatty of the state board
of health yesterday examined nine APP
plicants for embalmers' licenses. The
results of the examinations will not be
known for several days, but some doubt
is expressed as to the passing of several
of the candidates. The state board of
health lays considerable stress upon
the fact that care and skill is required
in the preparation of bodies for ship
ment, as it Is only through care OF
the embalmer that contagious diseases
are not spread by the shipment OF
bodies.
