Unsanitary! has been a recurrent cry against this practice ever since the discovery of bacteria. Last week it was heard again, this time in official tones. The Kansas State Board of Health, which has had a regulation since 1912 against the use of common drinking cups, put the Communion cup in the same category-"a potential source for the transmission of communicable disease." Episcopalian Evan Wright, director of the board's Food and Drug Division, was irate at the abandonment in his local church of the alternative method known as "intinction"-dipping the wafer into the wine...

Food and Agricultural Organization; and in Canada Dr. G. Brock Chisholm, formerly Director General of the U.N. World Health Organization. In this country, in addition to Dr. Corliss Lamont '24, of the philosophical faculty of Columbia Univ., to whom I referred previously, there are--to mention only a few--such men as Dr. Hermann J. Muller, professor of zoology at the Univ. of Indiana, Nobel Laureate in medicine (genetics...
