The Bellamy act forbids the regis ter of deeds to issue a license to a male applicant unless the application is accompanied by a certificate that he has no venereal disease, no tuber culosis in its infectious state, and that he has not been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction an idiot, imbecile, or of unsound mind. The female applicant must present a cer tificate that she has no tuberculosis in its infectious stage, and that she has not been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be of un sound mind. The term "applicant" in the statute in the connection in which it is used in somewhat obscure, but we think it should be interpreted as applicable only to those persons, male and female, lor whose oeneiit the license is issued.
