VITAL STATISTICS.
The law passed by the last legislature
with reference to The conpulsorv reg
lstfauon of births and deaths in the
state or Kansas is one Of the best
pieces of legislation ever enacted IN the
stale- A similar bill was introduced in
me session Of 1907 by Sheffield ingalls,

county, but after being favoraDly ra-
Porteo out of the committee to the

Under the provisions of the law now
IN iorce It is incumbent upon every
regular practicing physician to report
70 the health officer of the county the
DlFen OF every child, giving its sex ana
other data and also certify to the cause
OF the death. the age of the deceased
and other important information.
All or this information is forwarded
10 the health department at Topeka
where 1t is filed for use in the rrepaf-
aton OF vital statistics. The value OF
this information at once is apparent.
IN the great battle now being waged
and which will continue to be Waged
Tor years against tuberculosis, infantiie
paralysis and other dangerous diseases
1t is most essential for those in charge
OF the work to be armed with all lhe
1acts and figures available. The vital
statistics law will make these things
conveniently accessible. The scientific
investigation of cause and effect: the
deductions and the course of treatment
all Will be accelerated by this law 1t
Will be easier to determine the truth of
the disputed theory of inheritance in
disease; the effects of climate and Il
thousand and one important phases of
human ailments and disorders.
The records of births will greatly as

Race suicide is ever a vital question
and 1t will be instructive to note
whether the women of Kansas are as
deeply interested in motherhood as
they are in their alleged right, to vote
The next step in legislation of this
character is a law governing nlarrIase-
A number of states have already made
this progress. notably, Ohio and South
Dakota. In the last named stare the
laws are very strict. Marriages of m
competents are forbidden. There an
official clean bill of health is just as
essential IS the marriage license and
the wedding ring.-Atchison Champion
