CUPID'S VICTIMS NO LONGER
NEED TO BE TESTED

Spokane.-Successfu swains have
two fold cause for repoicing today, for
this is the day that witnesses the
downfall of that mean old law that
made It necessary for them to secure
physicians certificate, and that
placed numerous other impediments
in the path of Cupid.
The new state law governing this
point went into effect today, accord
ing to advices received by County
Auditor r. w. Butler. Commenclnb
today, all that you have to do in or
der to get married (after first hav-
ing gone through the mere formality
of securing the young lady's consen)
Is to apply at the office OF the coun-
ty auditor for license.
OF course the old restrictions as to
heredity and that sort Of thing are
still In effect. But now, instead OF
having to secure an affidavit from a
duly licensed physician. all that one
has to do is to present an affidavit,
signed by himself. swearing that the
contracting parties are not feeble
minded, imbeciles. epileptics. insane
persons, common drunkards or per-
sons afflicted with pulmonary tuber-
culosIs in its advanced stages; pro-
vided, that in addition the affidavit
as to the male contracting party
shall show that such male Is not af-
flicted with any chronic disease and
that the contracting parties are not
habitual criminals.
In addition to the advantage of not
having to secure physician's certifi-
cate, the contracting parties under
the new law will have an even dollar
more with which to buy household
furniture, a cooking range or house
and lot
