tugeniC Marriages.

A "eugenic marriage law" has
just gone into effect in Pennsyl-
vania, the first of it's kind in the
United States. 1t prohibits the
issuing of marriage license to
any person afflicted with a commu-
nicable or incurable disease; to an
imbecile or person under guardian
ship; of unsound mind, or to any
person under the influence of in
toxicating liquors or narcotics.
Instead of providing that the
applicant for a marriage license
shall produce a clean bill of health
from a reputable physician. the
law only requires a solemn oath
and will, therefore, probably prove
more of provocative of perjury
than of real good, except when the
disqualifications are manifest and
cannot be concealed. A man who
would be willing to marry when
he knows he is afflicted with a
communicable disease would not
stand upon what seems to him a
little thing like perjury.
That certain people should not
be permitted to marry is settled
conviction, but it is a delicate
problem and one that requires the
most careful consideration. The
suffering that will be entailed upon
the offspring by the marriage of
unfit persons is terrible to contem-
plate, and there ought to be law
everywhere to prohibit such union,
which can only result in misery to
the offspring and the deterioration
of the human family.

MIX Inspection In Kentucky.

1t is especially important at this
season of the year to guard the
purity of the milk supply. The
Food and Drug Department of the
Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station just now is endeavor-
ing to impress this fact upon the
Mayors and health officials all over
the State.
In a circular letter addressed to
these officers Prof. r. Nj. Allen,
head of the Food and Drug De-
partment, calls attention to- the
efficient and practical methods for
milk inspection that have been
adopted. The department, h e
states, has found that samples of
milk for meteorological exami-
nation, as well as for chemical
tests, when properly taken and
packed, can be sent in from all
parts of Kentucky and arrive at
the station in condition to deter
mine, for all practical purposes of
inspection, its sanitary fitness or
unfitness and it's chemical compo-
sition.
Inspectors are securing milk
samples all over the State, but the
work, Prof. Allen says. can be
strongly supplemented IF each
city town, not maintaining a labo-
ratory, will send in, at least once
a month, samples properly taken
from all the diaries supplying milk
in a particular locality" The de.
partment stands ready TO send
inspectors to explain methods of
inspections to local health officers,
especially with respect to the man.
ner in which samples must be
taken for meteorological exami-
nation. The inspectors will also
visit diaries in order to give in
formation to health officers and
will make return trips when nec-
essary to help correct the cause OF
contaminated samples.
1t should be understood that the
experiment station does not work
free of all examination charges
and that it invites the cooperation
of all towns which desire to safe.
guard their milk supply. This is
especially advantageous to small
towns where there are no adequate
facilities for making tests. Wher
expert assistance is available OF
such easy terms there is no reason
why the work of purifying mill
should not be extended to every
section of the State.

mean that a lot of counties like
yours are unwilling to put up a
