For Women
Courts Sanction EugenieS?
BY BETH JEFFRIES.

\ marriage has Just been annuIled in
the courts OF New York on the grounds
Of prenuptial deceit as to physical dis
ability.
A young man afflicted with tuberCu-
losis deliberately concealed the fact.
and married young woman when
physically incapable OF reproducing
children without a parental faint.
Science has not fully fathomed the
degree of hered " or transmission of
diseases from father to child. yet in
the case of mental deficiencies some
States have already passed laws by
which II Is Illegal for those so afflict-
ed to propagate. viii the law come at
last to make il illegal for the physical
~ deficient to propagate?
While many affirm that the New
York decision was founded on fraud
and not on tuberculosis, in order to
take away the victory Of the decision
from the eusenic standpoint, there Is
yet little room for the expansion Of
hopeful ideas for laws governing the
eugenic reproduction of the race.
1t is true that according to the laws
OF the State of New York, deliberate
concealment OF a physical disability
vitiates a marriges; in other words
that fraud is a legal grounds for
legal dissolution of marriage.
The application of this particular
case rests, however, not on statute Law
but Is vested in the discretion OF the
court.
But whether or not the technIcaAty
was fraud, il is certain that the de-
cision OF the court leaves 4 to be In
ferred that their Interpretation OF the
word fraud i'm this case Is tuberculosis.
If a prenuptial concealment of tuber-
culosis Is fraud. a prenuptial conceal
ment of any serious physical d Stability
which gives any room for transmits on
Of such disability. either through the
doubtful medium of heredity or through
association and contact, also comes IN
der the ruling Of fraud
Eugen'cs is a constructive force; il
IS a growth, not a momentaTy or pass
ing phenomena There Is little doubt
but that it's principles influenced the
court in their decision. and that the
thousand and one present manifesto
lions Of its practical need and exist
ence will bear fruit in the future for
nation of uneduivocal laws regulating
marriage.

TINES BEDTIME STORY
TEDDY LOSES A PLAYTHING.

Copyright. 1914. BY r =. Yoderb
wv HENEVER there would BE-
NA/ trouble in the Tgbby fam
lily over toys. Mrs. Tabby
would take charge OF them
herself and put them away where no
one could get them and there would
be no fussing o. qUarreling over
who had them.
One big, black spider on string
she had taken from the Tabbics
long ago, and had hidden IL away
But Teddy. rIgrnmag ne around in
the sitting-room, had found II again.
hidden it with his things, and. when
he thought that the time was ripe,
brought 1t out to play with.
For several days he kept his secret
TO himself, but AZ last he grew tired
of playing with it, and wished kat
he could frighten one of his kitty
sisters with IT.
One day no had been down The
road. playing with Toby Hicks. and
as he came toward home he saw
Tom and Tottie sitting out under an
umbrella, near n tree, waiting for
someone.
The big black wiggly spider was
attached to the end Of n long stick,
and the more he looked at il, the
more he thought how very much
fun it would be let it drop slowly
down in front of that umbrella He
knew that he could not scare Tom.
but he was sure that he could
brighten Tottia almost out of her
wits. II he drew IL Up quickly
enough he might be able to get it
hidden before anyone caught MIN
with 1t.
So he went softly up behind the
tree and prepared to get up. First,
he hitched up his trousers, then he
put the stick in his mouth, and
holding 1t tightly in his sharp lit
tie teeth. he scrambled up the tree.
He looked cautiously around, but
no one was in sight. AT the very
last moment he stopped to think
Suppose Mrs. Tabby should see him.
and suppose she-oh well. he decided
to try. He couldn't enjoy that bug
I'll by himself anyhow.
Holding on with one paw. he
leaned Ear out, swung the hug
around, and lot it drop suddenly

Late government reports indicate utat
the rEalady kills about $4,000 Americans
of the highest quality and usefulness
the very men, indeed, whose strenuous
energy makes UP the national spirit
Most of them are brain workers in the
full flush of manhood. and their value
10 the nation is beyond estimation. and
yet il is this very determination TO &C
complish something big and lasting
which cuts short their lives. A molly
eoddle seldom dies of Bright's disease,
but Il kills more miIlionaires than any
other single malady.
No one knows the exact nature of the
poisons which are the actual cause OF
death in Bright's disease. A few years
ago II was the fashion to put the blame
upon uric acid, but among advanced
physicians the uric acid theory as II Is
Renerally understood, is now little more
Than a joke. There is good reason TO
believe, indeed that the poison which
does the damage varies greatly IN IN
diyidual cases and that some day a

that is known definitely is that the
poisonous substances contain nitrogen,
and that when, upon normal diet the

which take place in the kidneys during
the course of Bright's disease. Suffice

ing no unnatural poisons, the amount OF
poisonous waste products in the body
gradually grows larger and Larger. In
the end fatal amount of poison Is
present, ana the vital organ which hap
pens to he most vulnerable gives way
The result. Of course, i death.
Brights disease is caused now and
then. by the presence of malignant or
Sanisms in the kidneys. or as a result
OF infections in other organs. Only toe
often Brights disease may be traced
with little effort to overeaung, over
drinking. overcoddling, or too little ex-
Crcise.
There are no specifics for this maIady
and modern physicians employ few
drugs in combating it. and then only in
an endeavor TO relieve the crippled kid
neys of their burden. and to stimulate
other organs to help them out.
The only course of treatment which is
Of avail is that which attempts CON-
plete reform in the diet and habits OF
the sufferer. He must get fresh air, and
he must eat simple foods. He must
take no more food and drink than l.
absolutely necessary for the Duurish-
ment Of the body. and he must for
highballs and late suppcrs.
Foods To Avoid.
Alcohol must be eschewed entirely
and a ban must be put upon all foods
which are apt to produce alcohol in the
process of digestion or by fermentation
in the stomach or intestines.
In severe cases. starvation Is often ad-
Vised. To relieve the crippled kidneys
of as much work as possible. the mod
ern physician adopts devices to in
crease the activity of the skin. That is
to say sweating is induced. Purgtng
too, has its uses.
1t Is out Of the question, perhaps, for
the average business man to train like
an athletic, but il is always possible
for him to avoid excuses.

tnuE he knew he was all tangled
up in it.
Tommy began to laugh and shout,
and Tottie gisgled with joy to think
that she lad the bug herself.
The only scared person was Ted
dy. and as soon as he could pick
himself up. he sneakcd away. while
the other two kItties laughed at him.
He was ashamed and angry to think
that a mere kitty girl had scared
him and had made him fall out of
tree. He thought of telling Mrs
Tabby, but as he rubbed his bruises
ne thought better of it. For how
would he explain about the spider?

the bug. What she did with 1t will

Slight Advantage for Allies

Again it is General Von Kluck and the allies. Can Joffre outflank the willy German on the heights of Las signy as he did before Paris? If the French commander can accomplish this he can roll up the right wing of the Germans and threaten their com munications, forcing a retreat.
 A French army is now trying to work around the German right and operations elsewhere are halted until the outcome of this attempt Heavy rains are impeding the movement of the troops and the French have a diff ficult task before them, but at that appear to have slight advantage. When the war is over Von Kluck will be one of it's heroes for he has displayed consummate genius in sav- ing his army after being outflanked. The retreat of the German right will rank with that of the allied troops after Mons.
 The battle on the Aisne is by no means over yet and may continue even until the end of the week. It is de- veloping into case of whose guns are the heaviest and which soldiers can march the best. Along the cen- ter and the allied right the situation does not change, the allies contenting themselves with holding their own, awaiting the operations on their left. The spectacular in the war is pass ing. Soldiers are no longer recklessly exposing themselves but are becom- ing adopts at taking cover. The term "cold steel" is favorite phrase of the correspondents now and the bayonet is playing an important part in the conflict. The British and foreign French troops are experts at this work and if reports are to be believed German soldiers have no stomach for such fighting. However, a little salt would not be amiss when considering such dispatches.

JUST HUMAN NATURE

From the New York World.
 The demands for special privileges made on the American resident com particularly by women, throw an in- teresting light on American tourist character.
 Though penniless, they want a grate- full nation to pay for their support at the best hotels and to procure them de luxe steamship accommodations, or at least provide government transport. Doubtless that was an exceptional case of the woman who attempted a hunger strike when informed that she would have to travel third class because she could not pay for anything better. But the disposition of the refugees to dis cover 'indignities'' in the impartial treatment accorded them. and their fre- quent threats to "blow up' the com mittee when they reach New York, re- veal a curiously captious and exacting latitude.
 Are these kickers under the impress sion that they are doing the govern- lnent a favor in accepting free trans portation? It might be supposed that they would be satisfied to get safely ful for all that has been done for their relief and comfort by official and pri- vate agencies Instead. they exhibit spirit of fault-finding that serves to obscure the sympathy felt for Amer jeans abroad who have had to endure real hardship as result of the war.

The City Commission

Weatherly had walk-over in the city commissioner race.
 All sorts of things had to do with the reelection of MT. Weatherly, but the primary cause was his strong ad- vocacy of the city owning its own water supply. Tn that both candidates agreed, but MT. Weatherly got there first.
 Now that there be no more political controversies, and Mr. Weatherly has another term to serve as one of three city commissioners it is high time that the commission form of govern ment became a real business govern ment become a real business govern to be played, the commissioners of Birmingham should get down upon the concrete floor like a bank presi- dent and his executive board and con- duct the affairs of Birmingham like business men do business.
 Ward, Lane and Weatherly are a trio of brains, brawn and brilliancy which should know how.
 They know that the people want to own their water supply. Let them buy that which we have or build an- other. And let them do the business of the city like the bank officers or the officers of the industrial com panies of Birmingham have done theirs. All the well conducted busi- ness concerns of Birmingham have done well. Why should not business men do well with Birmingham?
