Among the various innovations sug-
gested and on whoch as we'll as any
others the opinion of the public is re-
auested, are that a special land court
be established, whose duty it will be
to go from county to county to intro
duce the new system; a requirement
that future conveyances in fee shall
be under the Torrens system; that
the fees even to attorneys fees be
established on a moderate basis; or
in place Of the first suggestion that
every proceeding before being signed
by the judge must first be approved
by the attorney general.

Of the interesting items that a Torrens
title was obtained sometime ago in
one of the leading cities of the state,
and a loan was afterward refused on
it because two lawyers said the title
was not good, notwithstanding the
fact that the old title was forty years
old without change or flaw in it, and
it was not in any sense disturbed by

4 riiAL G,a.-.

Beware the Wiics OF the Indian Ink
Artist, Says State Board OF Health.
The tattoo artist may be a success
from the aesthetic point of view but
modern sanitation finds nothing COM
mendable to him. Such, at least, is
the opinion of the State Board of
Health. based on a recent complaint
made of a tattoo artist in q Virginia
city. According TO the report received
by the board a citizen of town on
the Norfolk and Western Railroad re-
Gently visited "A nearby city, where he
permitted tattoo artist to decorate"
his flesh In few days he began TO
show symptoms Of a distressing skin
disease, and for some weeks was very
i'll. His physician. after a most care
fui examination, reached the conclu-
sion that the disease was undoubted-
~ conveyed with the tattooing.
Commenting on the case. the board
says: THE man who subjects himself
To this uncivilized method of physical
DETACHMENT not only receives colored
scars that viii remain with him
through life, but he has absolutely no
assurance that the process will be
done with clean needles The men
who engage 10 tattooing are not al
ways models IN cleanliness, and their
instruments may be germ laden and
filthy. 1t is easily possible for a man
10 receive the germs of ioathsome dis
eases in this manner.
