Volume 2 July 15th, 1924 Number 2

DR. M. E. BACHMAN

Professor of Osteopathic Therapeutics

"Daddy" Still says: "All remedies necessary for health, rest inthe body." "Daddy" Bachman says: "Still Pure Osteopathy." "Os-teopathy is as good as it can be made. My constant aim is to du-plicate the original principles of our science as taught by ourfounder."

Osteopathic therapeutics is the very backbone of Osteopathy.Every physician is judged by the results gained from his treatment.Therapeutics is the field upon which we meet the public, and uponthis field depends to a great extent whether the outcome is a vic-tory or a loss. Every osteopathic physician in practice has gainedhis reputation, not from the fact that he was an osteopath, butbecause of his treatment. The name itself does not make the man,it is the results gained from his therapeutics. Knowing a thingand applying that knowledge in doing it are two. different things.Thus it is that we find the subject of therapeutics one of the mostimportant of our entire curriculum.

A subject of this nature requires at its head one who has theexperience in practice to be able to sift the practical from thefads, and judge the indication of conservative or radical treatment.It requires one who is naturally adapted to transfer this knowledgeand judgment to the one who is not experienced. Dr. M. E. Bach-man is able to do these things in a most efficient manner. Dr.Bachman is constantly striving to send into the field, men betterqualified to administer to the public. He has chosen as his mottofor the coming year "Better Osteopaths." The Doctor in his classwork is a teacher, friend and helper to each student. There is al-ways an atmosphere of close co-operation in his class room. Eachstudent has a feeling of freedom with Dr. Bachman which doesnot necessitate "getting under the skin."

Dr. Bachman's classes are helped greatly by daily case reportsof his private practice. \ This is especially important to the stu-dent because the methods of treatment learned in class are thor-oughly tried and their success or failure shown to the student.

DR. C. W. JOHNSON

Dean of Des Moines Still College

Analytical study of diseases of the nervous system is a matterof care and thoroughness. Correct diagnosis is entirely dependentupon it. Necessarily the basis of treatment and prognosis mustfollow a correct diagnosis. The neurologist deals with morbid con-ditions, revealing themselves for the most part by functional er-rors. The large subjective side of the problem, with the unre-liability of the patient's response, adds to the difficulty and callsfor keenness of judgment at every step.

Very often, by most painstaking tests, and by the use of instru-ments of precision,controlled by anatomical and physiologicalrules, a definiteness can often be reached in nervous diseases notelsewhere possible. In many instances, however, only the most care-ful study, shrewdest judgment and wide experience enables one tomake a diagnosis. This is especially true of the so-called func-tional diseases.

The teaching of nervous and mental diseases requires one whois capable of instilling these facts into the student. This capabil-ity can be acquired only by years of study and experience, togetherwith a great amount of ability as a teacher.

Dr. C. W. Johnson, Dean of Des Moines Still College and Profes-sor of Nervous and Mental Diseases, is one of the few men in theOsteopathic profession who meets these requirements. Dr. John-son has been a teacher ever since his graduation from a college ofscience. He spent years as superintendent of schools in Iowa andwas a normal institute Icturer before studying the science of Oste-opathy. He has held a chair in our college since 1905.

His store of knowledge and experience has been greatly en-hanced by years of practice, where he has obtained the greatestrequisite of knowing any subject PRACTICAL EXPERIENCEThe department of Neurology has always been one of the foremostin Des Moines Still College. Dr. Johnson has brought it to thispinnacle by his ability as a teacher and his'work in the Clinical de-partment. Students of Still College are given the most thoroughand exhaustive preparation by actual practice in nervous diseases,and in this subject as well as in others we can truly speak a, "Thebest Clinics in the Osteopathic Profession."

THE LOG BOOK

From a Post-Graduate

July 10, 1924.Editor Log Book:

Having attended Des MoinesStill College for a week, I wouldappreciate the privilege of say-'ing a few words regarding myexperience while at the Clinic.The most surprising thing to me

mc: thef hv AisIIL Lna nere seemingly is nclimit to the amount of clinicalmaterial available, which givesthe student all the practical ex-perience which he has time tolake when not busy with classwork.

In the short time I have beenhere I have assisted in one de-livery, and have delivered onechild myself. In addition tothat I had the privilege of giv-ing over thirty anaesthetics andattending many more major op-erations.

The student here at D. M. S.C. 0. need never worry about nothlaving all the clinical experi-ence which he may want, and Iwould like to urge him to takeadvantage of the wonderful op-portunities afforded him here.

The O. B. clinic is all youcould hope for, as you get notonly to watch someone else dothe work, but you are taught todo it yourself so that you feelcompetent when you are on yourown cases.

I cannot recommend the worktoo highly, and I wish to con-gratulate the D. M. S. C. O. onhaving such a clinic for its stu-dents.

J. A. Bowman, D. O.,Marietta, Ohio.

NOTICE!Heretofore the college has been

put to the expense of filling outapplication blanks and makingtranscripts of grades in comply-ing with the request for BoardApplications. The amount is notmuch in any single case, butwhen it occurs from five to tentimes a month it means that thefunds are being dispersed at therate of from ten to twenty dol-lars a month, which in the courseof a year amounts to consider-able and it can easily be seenthat it does not go to the ad--vancement of the school. There-fore, no application or tran-script will be sent out unless itis accompanied by a fee of $2.50payable to the college.

"Some people save for a rainyday as if they lived in a desert."

"Luck is the thing that helpsyou most when you don't trustto it.'

DR. MI. E. BACHMAN(Continued from page 1)

Dr. Bachman has also gained a national reputation as a technicianand is in constant demand for demonstrations of his technic at allconventions.

Dr. Bachman's professional magnetism ayrd power, coupled withhis conscientious service, make him an invaluable professor inDes Moines Still College.

In this clinical field again, Still College is paramount. Ourclinics are unsurpassed. The student's practice is not a matter ofso many minutes to a "chronic," but each case identical to thatwhich he will meet every day in his own office. The number andvariety of patients in this clinic are so extensive that each stu-dent is bound to obtain a thorough knowledge of the therapeuticfeld.

Still College Wit

The examining board of spe-cialists was testiig the mentalityof a thick-lipped, weak-faced ne-gro who had been brought in bythe police. Among other ques-tions, the specialists asked: "Doyou ever hear voices without be-ing able to tell who is speaking

or where the sound comes from?""Yes, suh," answered the ne-

gro.

The specialists looked 'at eachother triumphantly.

"And when does this occur?"one asked.

"When I'se talkin' over de tel-ephone.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

Is This You?I am a student in the best Os-

teopathic college in the land.How do I know it is the best?iBecause some of the biggest menand women of the profession are-numbered among the alumni andsome of the biggest men andwomen are on our faculty. I amregular in my attendance and at-tentive to instructors. I havealways made my grades. I havenot shown much interest in ath-letics or school or class activi-ties, generally, in fact, I haven'tdone much around school but tryand absorb.

I have sat under the instruct-,or$ and never once consideredthe personal loss to them and thereal sacrifice they were makingby giving their time to collegework. I never once have mademention to them that their workvas appreciated by me at least.

I have been spending the sum-mer months between collegeyears at home and keeping abso-lutely quiet as to what I am pre-paring myself for. I haven'tmade any effort to persuade anyof my friends or acquaintancesthat the profession and positionof an Osteopathiq Physician of-fers the broadest field conceiv-able and one's obligation or du-ty to society can be served in afuller measure in this than anyprofession I know.

I have not offered to informthose not familiar with the scopeof 'Osteopathy that their particu-lar ailment or sickness ,wouldmost likely yield to Osteopathictreatment.

Yea! Verily! I have been laxaind my seelfishness has justabout taken up all my time. Noone has profited one whit by mybeing so narrow. I have notgrown as I would had I ever beenon the alert to speak the gladtidings: "Osteopathy is the mostnearly perfect of all the healingarts," and Des Moines Still Col-lege is the place to get it.

Medical Practice of 400Years Ago

The Minneapolis Journal, ofSunday, November 25, 1923, printsan interesting account of a 400-year-old medical book owned byDr. Ralph St. J. Perry, Minne-

.apolis. Commenting on this cen-turies-old work, Dr. Perry isquoted as stating that "The vol-umre is not so far behind thetime as one might think," andcitations from it are given insupport of this statement.

One of the remedies recom-mended by this book is, "the useof powdered , mummies, swal-lowed in potions-" To those withsensitive stomachs, who feel aninclination to turn inside out atthe mere thought of such a nox-ious dose, the suggstion is madethat after all, the old timerswere not far different from theirought-to-be, but actually far-from, modern and improved suc-cessors.

The present-day old school, al-lopathic medical doctors willhave to go some to demonstrate

that the direct introduction intothe blood of healthy and sick pa-tients alike of concoctions pre-pared from the rotten pusscraped from the sores of a dis-eased calf, swabbings from thethroats of diphtheria patientsincubated in a horse, the corrup-

tion from boils filtered throughanimals, the stinking bowel evac-uations of typhoid patientsmixed with the blood serum ofbeasts, and other equally horri-ble filth, is any improvementover the old-timers.-The Na-tional Observer.

Historical

Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy was founded in 1898by a group of educators whosepurpose was to raise the educa-tional standards of their profes-sion and to put Osteopathy onan equal footing with olderschools of the healing art.

Prominent among its sponsorswere Col. A. L. Conger, a well-known Ohio statesman of thatera; Dr. S. S. Still, nephew of theFounder of the Science; and hiswife, Dr. Ella D. Still, and Pro-fessor Wilfred Riggs, previouslya member of the faculty of theIdaho State Normal School. Theywere all college people,-thorough-ly conversant with the best ped-agogic traditions and methods.

Thus it is evident that the Col-..lege has been, :from-its very .ein-ception, imbued and permeatedwith a proper scholastic atmos-phere. It was, in fact, the firstosteopathic institution of learn-ing to demand and secure ade-quate scientific and professionalpreparation of its student body;and it has never for a single in-stant departed from the highstandards that gave it birth.

It was founded, too, in responseto a strong popular demand foran osteopathic training schoollocated in a center of populationlarge enough to supply it withadequate clinical material.

Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy has attained to andconsistently maintains the high-est standards of efficiency in itsevery department. It early worfor itself a place as foremost ir

;he ranks of the colleges of th()steopathic profession and todastands pre-eminent among them

All Still Collegcontests are scheduled with thbest teams available, not witthe idea of piling up enormouscores on weak teams, but tplay the stiffest opposition possble to meet, thereby gainingworth-while reputation and athe same time giving our stidents an opportunity to see re;-sportsmannlike ---conmtests -Ban-d n<"walkaways."

Attention! Football Men

Football Practice September 2nd

Still faces the most difficultfoiball schedule in its history.We play the strongest team onthe schedule first. On Septem-ber 25th we journey to Law-rence, Kansas, and play the na-tionally known Haskell Indians.The showing made by the teammeans much to Still and to Oste-opathy. Practice will start Sep-tember 2, 1924. The situationdemands that you be there.

John LeviThe Second Jim Thorpe

John Levi, renowned footballplayer of the Redman, was theone outstanding player in the1923 season of the Haskell In-dian Institute. Sport writersfrom New York to Californiahave repeatedly likened him tothe famous Jim Thorpe. StillCollege will again attempt tosubdue these warriors on thegridiron during the coming sea-son. No doubt Levi will againdemonstrate his ability as an allaround football master.

Great plans are in the makingfor a Still College Alumni Home-coming on October 25th. Stillwill meet the strong GracelandCollege team on that date. Thisshould be a very exciting gamein as much as the two teamsplayed to 6 to 6 tie last season.We are warning our Alumni nowthat they are to make prepara-tion to be in Des Moines on thatdate.

SP

SPINENE

Students of Osteopathy arespecialists of the SPINE..

Throughout the four years oftheir school work the SPINE isa part of their teaching. Itsmany articulations, its numerousmovements and its variationsare sometimes difficult to grasp.These difficulties in teaching andlearning the fundamentals of theSPINE have been greatly light-ened by demonstrations uponTHE FLEXIBLE SPINE. TheSPINE is so preserved that thepliability of the ligaments re-mains. The actual movements ofany joint may be seen and demon-strated with the skin and mus-cles removed. The FLEXIBLESPINE is the work of Dr. H. V.Halladay. He is the only livingperson knowing the method forproducing these life-like joints.Dr. Halladay discovered thisprocess after years of reserchin the dissection laboratory.

Students of Des Moines StillCollege will be fortunate in thecoming years to have demonstra-tions upon these SPINES. Theywill also be in full touch withthe advancements maade in ana-tomical research under Dr. H. V.Halladay.

Anaatomy was stressed to theutmost by our founder, Dr. A.T. Still. Osteopaths alwaysspeak of their careful trainingin anatomy and their superiorknowledge of the subject. INFACT, ANATOMY IS THE FOUN-DATION OF OSTEOPAT H Y.DES MOINES STILL COLLEGEOF OSTEOPATHY IS TEACHINGTHE BEST ANATOMY THEBEST OSTEOPATHY.

Courtesy is not something arti-ficial. It springs from the heart.It is an expression of thought-fulness for others. It is doingto them as we would be done by.At its foundation lie the greatmoral qualities of kindness andself respect.

The world is so full of a number, of things,

didn't care,But we called him the man with

dome so bare,Even as you and I.

Oh, the hours he wasted and thetoil he wasted,

And the work of head and hand;And why his hair would die he

never knew why, and he nev-er could understand.

Oh, the time he spent and thetoil he spent;

To rescue his locks was his soleintent,

But the tonics he used were notworth a cent,

And his hair just went, and went,and went,

For a hair must follow its natu-ral bent,

Even as you and I.

The fool was stripped to his fool-ish hide,

So he bought a toupee to coverhis pride,

And to save his hair he tried,and tried;

But two of them lived and threeof them died,

Even as you and I.

To Students and Alumni

September 10th is the first dayof registration for the fall term-for D. M. S. C. 0. We have heardfrom a great many of the oldstudents who had returned totheir homes for the summer va-cation and almost to a man they:are to' return this fall.

*The weather has been good atDes Moines, some rain, some sun-shine, some dry weather and dur-ing it all and through it all, theoffice at the college has beenbusy 'and the correspondence hasbeen carefully cared for. If any-.one has failed to receive a cata-log or to get an answer to lettersdirected to the college, we arevery sorry for every effort hasbeen made to get these lettersout post-haste.

Not only have we been busy.answering mail, but we have beenindustriously organizing the fac-ulty and securing new members;and increasing the efficiency ofthe personnel. We feel that we:have done our work acceptably.

Many new faces will be here-to greet the student body whenthey return and if any of theAlumni chance to come this wayduring the summer year, we hopeto make them proud they aregraduates of Des Moines Still-College. We never like to makepredictions as to the new class.Suffice it to say it will be satis-fying. Many new faces will be

-out for football practice and theHaskell Indians will have to fightfor their reputation.

The churches, schools, theatresand play houses of Des Moineswill throw their doors wide opento the Des Moines Still College..student body.

I thank you one and all foryour co-operation. May we have

,a happy and prosperous year.S. L. TAYLOR,

President.

iLADIES G nTS AHO

I l $ I k ,.'m1 have been extremely busy in

the past few weeks making prep-aration for the reception and en-tertainment of all of you backto- es Moines (The City of Cer-tainties). Complete plans arenot ready for publication butconfidentially, I can tell you afew of the things that have beenarranged. "Charley Cain," ournationally known Bally-ho dis-penser will meet each and every,one of you at the train where hewill pass out Lolly Pops and gumas a gift from the satisfied pa-tients treated by freshmen Doc-tors during the past semester.

The forty piece tin and dishpan band of the ConsolidatedHash Dispensers Union will ren-der music at the depot and anaddress of welcome will be givenby the president. His subjectwill be "Back to the fold again."

Following a procession throughthe main streets of the city, in-cluding Cherry and Centerstreets, the entire assemblagewill march to the New Gymnas-ium and a program of sportswili be carried out. The foremostfeature of which will be "TheKentucky Derby." Rumor has itthat "Angus" will be the darkhorse.

The city of your education hasnot changed in the past threemonths. The only complaint Iever hear is that "restaurantservice ain't what is used to be."

We, who are heavy eaters arelooking for your return.

Yours for a Big Home Coming,JOHN P. SCHWARTZ.

Clinics Still Growing

The summer students have beenkept extremely busy throughoutthe entire three months of va-cation. Obstretrical and surgi-cal clinics have kept up to theirusual quota and in some cases farexceeded any number before.The clinical prospects for thecoming year are most encourag-ing. The reputation of all clin-ics at Still College is an envi-able one.

The Observer Says:

That the picture and sloganby Dr. West, of our own ranks,"Medical Watches," "OsteopathyWorks" was brought quite forcib-ly to mind when I got homeafter school was closed for sum-mer and found that my littlegirl had suffered a most severecase of croup and an abortedcase of pneumonia. I learnedhow our good Osteopathic physi-cian had been on the job forthree hours at one time and forsome other periods of nearly equallength and got results in everyinstance. Is there any wonderwhy I should be "sold" on Os-teopathy-Medicine would havewaited and watched, while ourestimable Dr. Jessie Johnsonot Youngstown, Ohio, worked,and worked some more and thefolks at home were spared hoursof anxiety and fear. You canjust bet it was with a heart fullof gratitude that I acknowledgedmy debt to the faithful doctor,and how I am more and moreimpressed with the extreme ser-iousness of the responsibilitiesof the profssion I am makingpreparation for.

Another case which has causedfavorable comment on the partof prominent medics is that of alad, 17 years old, who nearly ayear ago suffered an accident byfalling, causing complete paraly-sis and was pronounced by med-ics as hopeless. "Medicine wouldwait and watch." But thanks tothe , determination of Billie'sfolks. They were not contentto wait and watch and nowthrough the efforts of the sameOsteopath mentioned above Billieis making a most wonderful re-covery. He has complete use ofhis hands and arms, sits in andpropels a wheel chair and grad-ually gaining control of his lowerlimbs. He had a Cystitis andPyelitis which have cleared up.His muscles and tissues generallyhave been built up from state ofconsiderable atrophy to a mostsatisfactory condition and get-ting better all the while.

A prominent surgeon who had

been called early in the caseand had diagnosed said recently,"The Massage" is a good thing,it has kept up the tissues andthey are ready for the return ofthe "Motor." Keep it up. Hewould not say "Osteopathy" forthe world but it was Osteopathypure and simple.

As the poet said, "Oh consist-ency, thou art in deed a jewel.'

Osteopathy is still working andBillie will soon be a monumentto her works and can be sighted.as a signal case as to Osteopathyworking and winning.

One of the most trustworthytests of character is manner.Without knowing a person, with-out even speaking to him, wemay pretty fairly estimate hisquailties and moral developmentby watching his intercourse withothers. Kindness and sympathycannot help revealing their pres-ence; heartiness, manliness, up-rightness, honesty, may be dis-covered in his bearing if pres-ent in his value.

Manner is the outward sign ofsoul's nature. It is always un-consciously betraying our defi-ciencies or revealing our bettertraits. We cannot get away fromit. We cannot falsify or pre-tend to be what we are not, forthe deceitfulness is revealed inour manner. The'keen observerwill detect the sham, and recog-nize the real qualities beneaththe exterior.

Do not try to pass for mo.rethan you are worth; if you doyour duty, your good qualities ofhead and heart will be discov-ered and appreciated.

Two Good ReasonsWith Prof. Frank Sutton as

coach, and Bob Murphy as cap-tain, there is no apparent rea-son for not having a champion-ship team this fall. Very fewfirst string men were lost fromthe squad by graduation, and-thereported ability of the freshmanaspirants, added to the nucleusof experienced players from lastyear's aggregation give the mostpromising outlook for a winningyear. Coach Sutton's abi-i-ty has-been more than proven by themeteoric rise in importance of,-.till College athletic, teams.

:TO THE UPPER CLASSMENThe man who said, "Flattery's pleasant, but if we've

holes in the seats of our trousers we should be told ofit-sooner or later we must turn our backs to the audi-ence," certainly said a mouthful. We- can go throughschool kidding ourselves that we may select the: subjectsfrom the curriculum that please us most, disregardingthe drier and more difficult ones, and still become ef-ficient Osteopaths. However, the courses of today weslight become the holes in our trousers of tomorrow, andsooner or later, when out in practice, we will have toturn our backs to t:.ihe -audience, and the aforementionedholes will be the-cause -of our downfall.' As the old say-ing goes, "Forewarned-Forearmed," let's tell ourselves"about it," and go after every subject, whether interest-ing or not, with a determination and thoroughness thatwill prohibit the possibility of a future downfall of anynature.

GREEN CAPS-It is an honored custom of the College for the mem-

bers of the Freshman Class to wear the prescribed Green{Cap. It is not the intent of the school to dictate thedress of its new students nor to humiliate them. TheGreen Cap, the world over, is a recognized symbol ofthe man who is undertaking a course of training to bet-ter himself and mankind.

The annual Freshman-Sophomore pushball game-de-termines the period the caps are to be worn. If theFreshmen win-NO MORE CAPS. If the Sophomoreswin, continue to wear your caps like good sportsmen.

Uphold the Customs of Your CollegeWear the Green Cap!

Concerning TheLog Book

The Log Book is the officialmouthpiece of Still College. Likeall college publications, its pri-mary purpose is to boost theschool and those. attending theschool,. and, at, no time are itscolumns to' be used in criticismof. the faculty, student -body orthe profession. One can readilysee the effect such subject mat-ter would have upon the mindsof the seven thousand readers ofthe paper.

.I..I,.n-order to fulfill the purposeof the Log Book, we must havean inexhaustible supply of mate-rial. Articles and items-of stu-dent authorship relative to col-lege activities, sports, ideals,humorous happenings, classroomnews, personal activities of stu-dents and of the profession, infact any news that is interesting-that will boost D. M. S. C. 0.,is more than welcome. Don'twait until someone comes aroundand asks you to prepare an ar-ticle upon some specific subject,act upon your own initiative.When you hear a good joke, jotit down and hand it in, givesome one else a chance to laugh.Get "The Still' Sirit!" Do yourbit towards making the LogBook the best in the field. Let'sGo!


Word has been received by thecollege that Dr. J. F. Bone, ofPontiac, Illinois, is looking fora competent Osteopath to. eitherbuy or temporarily take chargeof his office. The Doctor has avery desirable location and anexceptionally good practice. Heis planning on moving to a largercity, and would like to leavePontiac by the 15th of Septem-ber if possible. If you shouldhear of someone desiring suchan opportunity, have them com-municate with the Doctor, direct.

Dr. E. C. Andrews, of Ottawa,Illinois, is planning on beingaway from his office for approxi-mately a month the latter partof September and the first of Oc-tober,. and is looking for a gooddoctor to take care of his prac-tice during his absence.

The Student's CreedThe following thought by Ste-

phen Grellet is well worth theadoption by every. student andphysician as well, as a creed toguide their thoughts and livesthrough the years to come:

"I expect to pass through thisworld but once. Any good thing,therefore, that I can do, or anykindness I can show to any fellowhuman being, let me do it now.Let me not defer nor neglect it,for I shall not pass this wayagain."

WOW!This summer while touring the

country for the benefit of Mr.Chautauqua, Jim Cochran andMiller happened to attend a pi-ano recital. Says friend Jim:"What is that lovely thing he isplaying?" Quoth Miller, "A pi-ano, ya darnphool!"

Osteopathy ithout Limitation

To the Freshmen

Welcome, Freshmen! The por-tals of the greatest profession inexistence have been..passed-Youhave embarked upon your careeras an Osteopathic Physician, anoutstanding professional person-age to be-at least, you have re-ceived your passport for the four-year cruise which ends, some-what unceremoniously, at the"port of missing men"-StateBoard.-

But why talk of such dismalsubjects? After having gonethrough that triumphal paradeof welcome, in which the consol-idated bands of thirty-nine (39)separate states and old Jul Cae-sar's pet chariot participated,you are no doubt tired of hand-shaking, bowing, and receivingthe plaudits of the multitude. Idon't blame you!

In all seriousness, we do mostheartily welcome you-the facul-ty, the student body, and the pro-fession as a whole. The fact thatmen and women of your calibrehave chosen Osteopathy as theirlife's work is mute evidence ofthe forward progress of our sci-ence. The choice of this college,in preference to the others isthe highest commendation thefaculty and personnel of the in-stitution could rceive. You'rehere and you've come to stay.

On entering upon the first ofyour four years of intensivetraining, bear this thought inmind-You will get out of DesMoines Still College just whatyou bring to it! If you bringonly an interest in the athletics,that is all you will take away.If you are interested only in thesocial phases of college activity,that is all you will get out ofyour four years in the institution,regardless of rules, regulations,faculty or what not. But-if youbring to this school a sincere de-sire to train and equip yourselfas an Osteopathic Physician, youwill receive the best that everyprofessor and department has tooffer! Your future success de-pends upon mental attitude.Make the most of your opportun-ities.

FIRST ASSEMBLYHELD SEPT. 19

EXTENSIVE PLANS MADE FORCOMING YEAR

The first assembly of the cur-rent school year was held Friday,September 19, under the direc-tion of the president, Dr. S. L.Taylor.

A hearty welcome was extend-ed the old and new students bythe president. New members ofthe faculty were introduced tothe student body, and given anopportunity to "speak for them-selves."

Dr. "Veirge" Halladay was ex-ceedingly complimentary in hisremarks regarding the college asa whole. He gave the studentsan insight into his plans for thedevelopment of the departmentof Anatomy.' "Verge" is strongon the "blow your own horn"philosophy, and is already busyorganizing the "D. M. S. C. 0.Silver Cornet 'Band," promisingto direct and to-play sax andclarinet simultaneously. Ninerahs and a tiger for Verge!

Next came Professor "Gawdge"Hurt, directing the Laboratorydepartment. The professor em-phasized the essential importanceof laboratory work and gave adefinite outline covering hiscourse for the coming year, inwhich the more intensive workis to be done along the lines ofintelligent interpretation, andthe significance of laboratoryfindings. We are confident thatunder Professor Hurt's direction,this will develop into one of themajor departments of the col-lege. More power to you,"Gawdge."

Dr. E. S. Grossman, who is tobe associated with Dr. G. C. Tay-lor in the Eye, Ear, Nose andThroat department, occupied thenext place on the program.While we were unsuccessful infinding out just what the "E. S."stood for, the Doctor's size andradiating good nature instantlyplaced him on a par with the"old-timers" in the minds of the.student body.

Coach and Professor FrankSutton, Dr. E. E. Steffen, Dr.Pinkie Schwartz, Handsome Dr.Johnnie Woods (who put in thesummer looking after littlethings around the college, 7 or8 pounders), and last, but notleast, The Dean, himself, Dr. C.W. Johnson, appearing in person,concluded the program with ap-propriate remarks of welcome tothe returning student body.

D.M.S.C.O. TO HAVE BAND

DR. II. V. HIALLADAY

DR. H. V. HALLADAYISSUES CALL- FOR-: .. MUSICIANS--:Remember last year how good it

sounded to hear the old bandtootin' away in the assemblyroom and on the football field?"Verge" Halladay thinks that aband is absolutely essential to aprogressive school, and the stu-dent body should be behind himin his efforts to organize sucha group. If a man of such im-portance is willing to devote hisvaluable time and energy to sucha movement, every last one ofyou who ever played an instru-ment, who ever thought he couldplay, or who ever attempted toplay, should answer the call andgive your best efforts towardmaking the band a grand success.Here is "Verge's" personal opin-ion on the question:

"What About a Band?""A gang of wind-jammers is

just as imlportant and necessaryto school life as athletics or oth-er social activities. At thiss'tage of the game it is impossi-ble to tell just what can be madeout of the fourteen or fifteenband men now in school. In ashort time, an organization willbe effected, officers elected andsome earnest work done alongthis line. We are going to needsomething in the treasury, so donot be surprised when you hearan S. 0, S. call signed by theBand."

Let's Go, Gang! EverybodyHelp Verge! Still College canhave a band should have a band

-WILL HAVE A BAND!!

D. M. S. C. 0. FounderHere

Quite an agreeable surprise wasafforded September 18, when Dr.S. S. Still, nephew of AndrewTaylor Still .and the founder ofD. M. S. C. O., stopped off enroute to Kirksville, to visit thecollege.

It will be remembered by theolder members of the profession'that Dr. Still founded the S. S.Still College of Osteopathy ifnDes Moines in 1898, erecting the'present building the followingyear. Seven years later the-'Doc-tor returned to Kirksville and'the name of the college waschanged- to the Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy.

Dr. Still has always looked up-on D. M. S. C. 0. as "his" school,and the tenor of the followingremarks, made before some ofthe classes visited, leads us tobelieve that Dr. S. S. still enter-tains a high opinion of the col-lege: -"Des Moines is the besttown in the United States for anosteopathic school." "Even nowthey are considering the secondschool 'the' first school of osteo-pathy." The Doctor's only boastbeing that in "thirty years ofpractice I have never learned'tosign a death certificate."

Sophomores ElectClass Officers

Class election was held by theSophomore B class Monday, Sep-tember 22. The following offi-cers were elected:

President, L. E. Schaeffer.Vice president, C. A. Ward.Secretary-treas., Irene Krug.The outlook for the coming

year is very bright, and the man-ifest enthusiasm of the membersof the class causes the predictionof many good times in store forthe future.

"No, dear, not always," repliedmama; "they sometimes beginwith 'My love, that is only a pa-tient of mine.'"

Something for Nothing

There is no such animal. Thelaw of compensation, slow in op-.eration and clouded with many.pparent false leads, still oper-ates, and you must give some-thing, either of good or evil, inexchange for any good or evilgiven you, but there is a big per-centage of us who go through lifealways hoping that the magic-wand will lay in our lap all thethings that our imagination con-ceives as pleasurable or advan-,tageous.

This is the idea that actuatesgamblers, and it has its bad ef--fect in every walk of life, for itcontinuously preaches to us that-we can slight our work, can waveaside our moral obligations, andsome "lucky" day make a big-winning without correspondingeffort. There are just enough ex-amples of the apparent success-of this idea to befuddle the mindsof millions more.

There seems to be a "foolish"period in the lives of most of uswherein we place some depend-ence on this idea, but those whoget over this attack the earliestare the "luckiest." The "luck"idea leads only into time wast-age and shiftlessness, and unlessit is overcome, it goes on into its-more cowardly companion, fail-ure.

He is "lucky," indeed, who ear-ly eliminates "luck" as a factorIn life.

Former Faculty MemberVisits School

Miss Ava Johnson. formerly amember of D. M. S. C. 0. faculty,and daughter of the Dean, visitedthe college for a short time Sep-tember 19th. The following note-was addressed to Dr. S. L. Tay-lor:

"I'm sorry not to see you af-ter missing you at the college,dropped in here hoping to con-gratulate you on the splendid at-mosphere at the college now, I-feel I should add the same re-garding the new offices. Theyare lovely. I leave for New YorkSunday, so shall not see youagain. Best wishes for the year.

"Ava L. Johnson."Praise from one who has made

such gigantic strides in her chos-e-n field as Miss Johnson, is ofdouble value.

Are You LookingFor a Location

Word has been received by thecollege that Dr. Helen KelleyGroff, Mason City, Iowa, desiressomeone to take over her prac-tice during November and De-cember. To quote from the Doc-tor's letter: "Do you know of anylady in the profession or that isnow in the senior class that couldtake my practice during Novem-ber and December? I would pre-fer someone that has practicedfor a while, if it will be possibleto find such a party."

Anyone desiring further infor-mation can communicate withthe Doctor direct or through thecollege.

An exceptional opportunity fora hustler is open at Afton, Iowa.Dr. Thomas G. Burt, D. M. S. C.0. graduate, would like to get outof practice for a period of sixor eight months, and wants agood, live man to take over hispractice for that period. TheDoctor expects no income fromthe practice.

There is an opening at St.James, Minnesota, for a wide-awake osteopath. Communicatewith Dr. H. W. Beckstrom of thatcity.

A wonderful opportunity pre-sents itself in the practice in aNebraska county seat town thatis available at this time. TheDoctor has a fine new modernhouse -that would be included.For particulars, write the LogBook. i

Any one interested in the southwill be glad to hear of an openingat Hattiesburg, Mississippi, atown of approximately twentythousand, with two colleges, noother osteopath in the city. Thepractice is for sale or lease, withor without equipment.

"Red Clover Tea is said to be acure for cancer-the red top isboiled in water and drunk freely,using it also as *a wash. Thissupposed remedy is easily tried."While under the heading of HU-MOR we found: "Doctors neverallow DUCKS on their premises,they make such personal re-marks."

The above, being of such acomplicated nature, led us tomake the following selectionfrom under the head of ScientificIntelligence:

Dr. Halladay met with everycourtesy from the officials ofeach school, and is more than op-timistic as to the final outcomeof the plan.

This is D. M. S. C. O.'s big op-portunity to show the citizens ofDes Moines what Osteopathy is-what it can do and the type ofmen the local school is turningout through the medium of theirchildren.

It is the first time in the his-tory of the college that there hasbeen a direct inroad to the stu-dent bodies of the local highschools. The RESULTS will beapparent in next year's Fresh-man Class!

HASKELL INDIANS 12; D.M.S.C.O.O

ON SOGGY FIELDMyers, Walker Star

Outweighed, and with only twoweeks' training behind them, D.M. S. C. O.'s gridiron warriorsinvaded the Indian strongholdand held them to a 12 to 0 score.The markers being made in thefirst and last periods df thegame. The field was just slip-pery enough to make open fieldwork impossible. The Indiansperfected a stone wall defense,and Still had to revert to a kick-ing and defensive game.

It is a difficult matter to statewho starred in the game, as everyman on the team gave everythinghe had and then a little more.Newspapers mentioned Myers andWallie Walker as the outstand-ing players on the Still aggrega-tion.

Still O--Buena Vista 0With a team composed of

cripples, so to speak, Still jour-neyed to Storm Lake and battledBuena Vista to a 0-0 tie. TheStorm Lake report on the gamefollows:

Storm Lake, Ia., Oct. 11.-TheStill College football team, al-though outplayed during most ofits game here Friday, managedto hold the Beavers to a score-less tie.

Buena Vista gained consider-able more ground than the invad-ers, and several times got closeenough to try for field goals. Inthe first period Still was on thedefensive tduring most of theplay, but the locals lacked thepunch to make a score when theygot near the goal line.

The Beavers attempted threefield goals during the game, andall were failures.

The locals had a strong de-fense, and Still had trouble ingaining ground. Murphy was theonly Still player who could makeheadway against the locals.

Much Enthusiasmfor Homecoming

Only a brief interval remainsbefore the curtain rises on theFirst Annual Still College Home-Coming. The student body is onedge-the alumni interviewedare impatiently waiting "TheDay," and the committee aredashing around feverishly tryingnot to forget some important de-tail.

This is going to be the great-est event in the history of StillCollege. Its success depends up-on the hearty, active co-opera-tion of every student and facul-ty member.

Extensive plans are being madeforl the-- Banquet and Dance,which is to be held at the Sa-very III Hotel. The freshmenare busy working up stunts toenliven the "inter-course" period,and the services of the best af-ter dinner speakers availablehave been secured. Music thatwill make the young feel young-er and the cld die happy-willhold sway from 7 P. M. on. Bet-ter bring two pairs of shoes withyou to eliminate any possibleloss of time.

Make your plans. now to spendthe entire day celebrating!

Annual FreshmanReception Held

The annual freshmen recep-tion was held at the college Sat-urday evening, October 4th. Thestudent body and faculty turnedout en masse for the first socialevent of the year, and the hallwas packed to its capacity.

The Doctors S. L. and Lola Tay-lor, assisted by the faculty andtheir ladies, received. Dr. J. P.Schwartz acted as master of cere-monies. Everyone was present-ed, on arrival, with a tag bear-ing their name and home town,thereby immediately creating aspirit of goodfellowship.

A trio of young ladies from theOrpheum Circuit entertained thecrowd with a group of selectedsongs and imitations. Ray Har-rison, accompanied by his "jazzhounds," provided the necessaryimpetus for those who worshipedthe Goddess Terpsichore. Tablesfor cards were formed on. thefirst floor.

The college rooms were taste-fully decorated in seasonablecolors, and true autumnal re-freshments of cider, apples, anddoughnuts were served.

Everyone who was present re-ported the "best time ever," andthe unprecedented success ofthis event sponsors the predic-tion that all future college func-tions will be held at the school.

Millard LaudsAnatomy Department

In a letter to one of the mem-bers of the sophomore B class,Dr. F. P. Millard, of Toronto,Ontario, Candada, gave unstint-ing praise to the D. M. S, C. 0.department of Anatomy.

Dr. Millard is one of the trus-tees of the American OsteopathicAssociation, and one of the fore-most practitioners in the coun-try. Prominently known, andwith an enviable reputation ofexcellence in specialized lines,his praise is of double value. Thefollowing is taken verbatim fromhis letter:

"I am very much interested inyour school work and in your spe-cial course in anatomy. You areto be congratulated on havingDr. Virgil Halladay as your chiefinstructor. We consider him one

Interesting AssembliesHeld at D. M. S C. O.

On September 27th, a pepmeeting, conducted by the emi-nent physician, Pinkie Schwartz,was held, to give the team a rous-ing send-off for the Haskellgame. The student body exer-cised their vocal cords to theirhearts' content, and the Fresh-men were invited to the plat-form, where, under the guidanceof Jim Cochran, they were taughtthe college song.

A "three-legged quartet" com-posed of Cochran, Miller, andSwanson, rendered a group ofexcellent songs, to the accompa-niment of "Jazz" Hoffman.Swanson's baritone solo, "TheBarefoot Trail," was a "knock-out."

Brief talks were given by Dr.Taylor, Dean Johnson, and theCoach.

Tentative program for Home-coming was outlined by Dr. J. P.Schwartz, which met with theenthusiastic approval of the stu-dent body.

Assembly the following weekwas under the supervision of Dr.E. E. Steffen. The program con-sisted of short talks by facultymembers, and musical selectionby Dr. Verge Halladay.

The Freshmen all attended Dr.John Woods' assembly, October10th, bedecked in green crepepaper ties, bearing the placard:"Not ST. PATRICK'S DAY, JUSTFROSH." We can't understandwhy they should select such aquiet color as green.

Following a brief discourse onthe subject "Why do they do it,"by the Dean, the following mu-sical program was presented:

Violin Solo, Miss Helen Moore,accompanied by Miss MildredTrimble.

Vocal Solo, Miss Dora Diet,accompanied by the Misses Trim-ble and Moore.

Saxophone Solo, Earl B. Shaw,accompanied by F. A. Hoffman.

Piano Selections, "Jazz Hoff-man.

Them Freshmen of Our'n

D. M. S. C. 0. can certainly beproud of its Freshman Class!Such a gang of clear minded, pep-py, enthusiastic youngsters nev-er before matriculated in anyPalace of Wisdom.

Last year it was thought thatthe incumbents of the greencap, were without peer, but theycannot hold a candle to the pres-ent aggregation.

The lofty minded sophomoreshanded down the traditionalFreshman Rules, and the bunchhave responded in a manner thatis adequate proof that the seedof the "Still Spirit" has beensown in fertile ground. The Fol-lowing are the rules for the guid-ance of the Neophytes:

1. All freshmen must wearthe prescribed Green Cap. Peri-od of adornment to be deter-mined by the annual freshman-sophomore pushball game, Home-coming day. If the freshmenwin, no more caps. If the soph-omores win be a good sport.

2. Freshmen are not permit-ted to smoke on the south sideof Locust street, between Four-teenth and Fifteenth.

3. In the assembly room, allfreshmen will remain standinguntil upper classmen are seated.

4. For a period of three weeks,all freshmen must wear, promi-nently displayed, a tag bearingtheir name and home town.

5. Twice a month, for the bal-ance of the first semester, thefreshmen must put on a "stuntdaiy. A committee to be ap-pointed from the class to conferwith the undersigned to formu-late said stunts

'Those not conforming to theabove rules nuf said!

The Frosh, with a possible ex-ception of two or three, have en-tered into the spirit of the move-ment heart and soul, and are get-ting as much kick out of com-pliance with the rules as the up-per classes get out of watchingtheir antics. The freshman com-mittee, composed of Jone, Regan,Havis and Miss Lenhart, are hardat work, and have adopted thefollowing slogan, "Watch theFreshmen."

"I beg your pardon, but are youfond of bananas?"

The bishop was slightly deaf,and leaning forward be replied:

"What did you say?""I said," repeated the young

lady, blushing, "are you fond ofbananas?"

The bishop thought for a mo-ment, and then said:

"If you want my honest opin-ion, I have always preferred theold-fashioned nightshirt."

HOMECOMING DAYIS BIG SUCCESS

Loyal Alumni Flock in forAnnual Reunion

D. M. S. C. O.'s first annualHomecoming Day went over andwent over big. Enthusiasm wasthe keynote of the day, and hi-larity marked the evening's en-tertainment.

To begin at the beginning, thecelebration opened with one ofthe best assemblies of the yearat 9:45. Music, short talks andpep were the background for theaddress delivered by Dr. RobertH. Nichols. The noon hour wastaken up with meetings andluncheons held at the variousvarious fraternities and sorori-ties. The crowd then migratedto Western League ball park,where the Freshmen and Sopho-mores staged their annual battleroyal over a huge push ball. Itwas a grand battle, both classesfighting "tooth and toe-nail," butafter the smoke had clearedaway and the dead and woundedhad been removed, it was discov-ered that the Sophs had comeout with the big end of the score,thereby forcing the Freshmen towear the cute little green capsfor some time to come.

Football was next on the pro-gram for the day, and Coach Sut-ton's Warriors responded in trueStill College manner, wallopingGraceland to the tune of 20 to 7.The game was full of thrills andaction, something happening ev-ery minute. (Complete report isgiven in this issue.)

Food was the next thought inthe minds of the celebrators, andconsequently fifty more than wereexpected gathered in the Vene-tian room of the Savery III Ho-tel to partake of the fatted calf,which is supposed to be theproper viand to offer the return-ing prodigals, but which in thisinstance turned out to be stuffedpork tenderloin. However, bysome unknown means, the man-agement was able to feed thehungry horde, and none wereturned away hungry. One of theFreshmen became violently illduring the first course, and for abrief 'interval it was thought thatDr.,S. L. Taylor would have tooperate, but through the influ-ence of the patient's classmates,the operation was performed tothe amusement of the diners bythe members of the Freshmanclass. Many wierd and unheard-of structures and organs werediscovered, which will no doubtprove a great help to the profes-sion in the years to come.

Trinity Holds D. M. S.i Q.;:.0to Scoreless Tie

The Still college football teamopened its home season by bat-tling the Trinity college elevento a 0 to 0 tie, in a game atWestern League park. This wasthe second time this season thatthe Osteopaths engaged in ascoreless contest.

While Still had the ball inTrinity's territory during themajor part of the second, thirdand fourth periods, the Locuststreeters threatened to score ononly one occasion. This came inthe third quarter, when the Os-teopaths took the ball from their40-yard mark to Trinity's 10-yardchalk line. After three attemptsto pierce the line failed to netthe remaining distance to thego-al line, Jean McIntosh dropkicked, but the boot went wide.

The Locust streeters did notseriously threaten after that, al-though they were never in anygreat danger of being scored up-on by the Sioux City aggrega-tion. The loss, by injury, of DonSheets in the third stanza seri-ously hampered the backfieldwork of the Still eleven. Sheetswas responsible for Still's gainsin bringing the ball within scor-ing distance on the occasion pre-viously mentioned.

Jim Regan, who did the punt-ing for Still while he was in thecontest, had the better of thebooting argument with Sauter,

wvhQ did the. kicking for Trinity.Regan's well-placed kicks proveda factor in keeping the SiouxCitians out of scoring distance.In the forward passing depart-ment. both teams failed to gainany appreciable yardage. Trin-ity, however, made more groundon these forward heaves, partic-ularly in t'he final quarter, whenthe visitors opened up a barrageof aerial tosses.

The entire Still line playedwell, :with the work of Myers,Walker, O'Keefe, Staples, and thewingmen, Thomas and Nicholas.outstanding. The 'backfield'failedto take advantage of many open-ings made for it, but MIurphy, Re-gan, SStafford and Russell gained'the 'most ground for Still. FrankThomas also performed in goodfashion.

'Foxl Trinity, Sauter, Armbusterand Joint proved the ball lug-ging stars, while Kahoe's 'workin backing up the line on defensewas one of the features of thecontest.

-SUPER SALESMANSHIPA young man called at the

house of a celebrated diagnosti-cian and asked to see the doctor.

"Have you an appointment, theoffice nurse asked.

"No. I haven't," the young manreplied.

The nurse consulted the doc-tor's appointment list.

"I think I can work you in af-ter the next patient leaves," shesaid, "so please go inside thatroom and take your clothes off."

"Take my clothes ff!" theyoung man exclaimed. "Whatfor?"

"The doctor has made it an ab-solute rule not to see anybodyunless that is done," the nursesaid firmly.

"But I don't want to take myclothe off," the young man in-sisted.

"Then I'm sorry, but you can'tsee the doctor," the nurse said.

"Well, if that's the case, I'mgame," the young man said.

A few moments later the doc-tnr entered the room and foundthe young man awaiting him.stark naked.

"Well, sir," the doctor said,"What seems to be your trouble?"

"Doctor," the young man re-plied, "I called to see if youwould renew your wife's subscrip-tion to the Ladies' Home Jour-nal."

Still WallopsPella Dutchmen

Pella, Ia., Oct. 31.-Still col-lege outclassed Central in a gamehere today in which the localsfought futilely to the end. TheOsteopaths' heavy line and hardhitting backs mowed the Dutch-men down, 41 to 0. Still car-ried the ball consistently forgains. Central was able only oc-casionally to hold its heavy oppo-nents, once taking the ball on the3-yard line on downs.

The charging and plunging ofShetz, Hannon, Regn, Staffordand Murphy were responsible forsix touchdowns. Myers place-kicked five points, missing the1st. Shetz scored a touchdownin the first quarter. Regan twoin the second quarter. Staffordtwo in the third quarter and Re-gan one in the fourth quarter.

Still had the ball throughoutmost of the first half, the localsbeing unable to make any head-way at all and being forced topunt. Still played straight foot-ball throughout, few forward,passes being attempted.

For the visitors Jimmy Regan,Murphy and Sheets in the back-field, and Johnny Jones, Myers,Graham and Thomas in the line,played splendid ball.

Gloves of VarnishSkin varnish completely cover-

ing the hands is used by somesurgeons instead of rubber gloves'during surgical operations. Socleverly is the varnish made thatit cannot be washed off with wa-ter or any liquid likely to be metin the course of an operation; norcan it be scraped off except byscraping off the skin itself, andyet it is about as pliable as verythin rubber. The purpose in us-ing it instead of rubber glovesis to preserve the sensitivenessof the touch and make it easierto handle materials such as cat-.gut. The varnish looks likehoney. It is rubbd on the handsafter they have been washed asthoroughly as possible and quick-ly dries. To remove it the handsare washed in another chemicalsolution.-Saturday Evening Post.

At the HospitalAfter the clinic the other day

at the hospital, one of the young.rosy cheeked, curly haired in-ternes was endeavoring to easean old lady and was entreatingher to "grit her teeth" and helphim out. "But, doctor," the oldlady said, "I can't grit my teeth.""What, you can't grit yourteeth?" .exclaimed the young D.O. "Why not?" "Because they'reover on the dresser in a glass ofwater!" explained the old ladyand the "cokes" were on the in-terne.

Freshmen-SophomoreHallowe'en Party

The Freshmen and Sophomoreclasses gave a masquerade dancein the College auditorium Hallo-we'en evening. The party waschaperoned by Dr. and Mrs. H.V. Halladay and Dr. and Mrs.George Hurt.

The auditorium was tastefullydecorated in appropriate colorsand carnival favors added great-ly to the pep and fun of theevent. Dancing interspersedwith novelty and specialty dancesfilled the evening program.Many attractive and amusingcostumes were in evidence andevery one seemed to be having agran' good time.

Student ActivitiesAll students on 0. B. call reg-

ister are requested to interviewDr. Geo. Hurt in regards to thecorrect attire for such occasions.It has been rumored around theuniversity that "Gawdge" is astrong "Fresh Air" man, believ-ing in adequate ventilation of allareas.

Deane Elsea has taken to sleep-ing in class with his Dolly now.See Doctor Steffen for furtherparticulars.

Slim Irwin and Punk Marlowwere greatly relieved to find thattheir picture had not been pub-lished in the last issue of TheLog Book. However, said publi-cation has not gone out of exist-ence as yet. Plenty of time!

Won't be long now before theBasket Tossers are entertainingthe multitudes again. Still's pros-pects for a winning aggregationare better than they have beenfor years.

Obstetrical ClinicUnsurpassed

The world grants all opportun-ities to' him who can use them,Power and Fortune are hiddenaway in the hours and momentsas they pass, awaiting the eyethat can see-the ear that canhear-the hand that can do!i

To review and place before youthe progress, to which we maywell point with pride, that D. M.S. C. 0., has made in this par-ticular field, is the purpose ofthis article.

That we have met with opposi-tion in this great specialty which

4-,1 -» ^1 - 1- 4-- --0 - - - 1. t , *ia^e n me Uesu oI a man's Drains

and courage is known to the pro-fession.

The D. M. S. C. 0. Obstetricaldepartment has existed since theorganization of the College butnot in its present status. In1903, this important subject wastaught only one semester andduring that time only one casebefore the clinic, and up until1909 no accurate records of theclinic ctivities were kept.

Dr. Lola Taylor took charge ofthe clinic and the 0. B. depart-ment at this time and was verysuccessful from the start. Inthe three and one-half years,under her supervision, over threehundred and fifty cases weretaken care of by the clinic.

But early, the task was a hardone. Distrust and oppositionwere met on every hand. Pa-tients, knowing the beneficial ef-fect of Osteopathic treatment,would be treated until time forconfinement and then turn thecase over to some one else fordelivery. Not so now.

By careful organization, care-ful instruction, superior hospitalfacilities and by having at itsdisposal the best Obstetrician ofany osteopathic school, the "0.B." Clinic has achieved an envi-able record for itself and for thecollege.

Following Dr. Lola Taylor, Dr.E. C. Dymond was Obstetricianfor a period of two years and Dr.Woodward took over the work foranother year. Then it came intothe hands of our present andhighly efficient obstetrician.

Dr. Robert Bachman assumedthese duties in 1917. To say thathe is a man who knows his workis putting it mildly. The stu-dents call him a "wonder" andthey may well do so for his lec-tures, practical demonstrationsand unlimited fund of sound ex-perience makes him a man of fewsuperiors. This clinic has grownuntil D. M. S. C. 0. has the larg-est Free Obstetrical Clinic in acity of 150,000 inhabitants.

The facts behind this remark-able growth and progress in the

DR. ROBERT BACHMANPresent Clinician

face of such opposition and dis-trust is easily explained by acareful perusal of the charts giv-ing clinical statistics, which arefar better than those of any med-ical institution, in regard tomortality and injury. Oppositioncan not stand up before such re-sults.

The service which has producedthese results is as follows:

The expectant mother is exam-ined as soon as the case is re-ported in clinic and laboratoryexaminations are made at fre-quent intervals to prevent anypossible toxic conditions frompassing by unnoticed. When thepatient is ready for delivery thecall is sent direct to the collegeand is answered by four studentsand the Obstetrical Supervisorwho attends all cases. The stu-dents act in the following capac-ities: Accoucher, who makes thedelivery and generally super-vises the case; the ConsultingPhysician who gives the anaes-thetic and cares for the childafter birth; the First Assistantwho directly aids the Accoucherand the Second Assistant who isin charge of the preparation andsterilization of instruments,gloves, etc. After delivery themother and child are carefullycared for by nine "after calls"made by the students assigned tothe case. Should complicationarise such men as Dr. Bachman,Dr. J. P. Schwartz and Dr. JohnR. Woods are at the command ofthe Clinic. In the event the caseshould require hospital care theDes Moines General Hospital, oneof the finest Osteopathic Institu-tions in the country, is available.

This is not book experiencethat the student at D. M. S. C. 0.receives in his course in Obstet-rics but pure unadulterated prac-tical experience, the kind thatevery man in the field recog-nizes and wished 'that he hadhad. Since 1917 over 900 caseshave been delivered by the clinicof which the average per studentis 3.5, the greatest ndmber of

*New ExaminationRoom Authorized

The college authorities have re-cently authorized the installationand equipment of a special ex-amination room and clinical lab-oratory. The addition of thesefeatures will greatly increasethe present high efficiency ofD. M. S. C. O.'s genral clinics.

The special examination roomis to be equipped with all neces-sary diagnostic equipment and isto be used by the Clinician andthe student assigned the case forthe purpose-- of further examina-tion after the patient has beenbefore the clinic. This will en-able the student to secure moredetail information regardingthe particular case under hiscare and will also tend to in-crease the diagnostic efficiencyof the clinic as a whole.

The Clinical Laboratory is tobe equipped with necessary in-struments for the making ofthorough Blood, Urine and Gas-tric analyses. The Clinical Lab-oratory Supervisor will be in fullcharge of the Laboratory and itwill be open to the students atall times. Under this plan thestudent will receive much morepractical work in LaboratoryDiagnosis than has been avail-able here-to-fore.

The additions of these two newdepartments is symbolical of theprogress D. M. S. C. 0. clinicsare making. The student bodyand faculty are not satisfied torest on the laurels already wonbut are constantly striving to at-tain greater efficiency and to de-velop a better clinical service tothe patients that will eventuallyplace Osteopathy at the head ofthe Healing Arts.


The college has received wordfrom Dr. C. Rasmussen of Ma-quoketa, Iowa, a county seat townof approximately four thousandinhabitants, that his practice isfor sale.

Osteopathy is very well knownin this community and as theDoctor is the only "D. O." in thecounty, it should prove the gold-en opportunity for some enter-prising, hard-working Osteopath.Further information may be hadby writing The Log Book.

'HOW 'BOUT IT D. O.'S.The national income has in-

creased from thirty-four to fiftybillion dollars; savings depositsin national banks from six to sev-enteen billion dollars and agri-cultural production from fourand a half to five and a quarterbillion dollars. Every possiblesource of wealth has grown enor-mously. Factory production hasincreased ninety-five per cent,mine production one hundred andtwenty-eight per cent and per*capita earnings have increased*one hundred and seventy-five per,cent in the past ten years.

cases assisted by one student is34 and the greatest number ofdeliveries is 8. The students areconfronted by such complicationsas aclampsia, post presentation,placenta previa, asphyxia lividaand pallida, breech extractions,and such operations as caesariansection, ..podalic version, forcepsdelivery, etc.

In the previously outlined carethe patient receives the bestservice'attainable at a total costof $1.50 which is for the purchaseof the Maternity Kit containingnecessaries for mother and babe.

To revert to the student in theObstetrical, department of D. M.S. C. O., he is instructed not onlyfrorm books from the clinical ex-perience of a man who has de-livered over two thousands casesin the city of Des Moines andwho gives not only the detaileddescription of treatment for var-ious cases arising in "O. B." butalso the Osteopathic concept ofthe case.

Thus, when a student graduatesfrom D. M. S. C. O., he is equip-ped with an enviable knowledgeof Obstetrics backed by pricelesspractical experience gained first-hand in the Free Clinic. And withsuch training, practice can onlybring true success.

The above article is the firstof a series on the various clinicsmaintained and operated by D. M.S. C. 0., which are without peerin the entire profession. We arejustly .proud of the progressmade by the Clinical departmentand want to "tell the world"about it. Articles from anyalumni, relative to the clinics intheir day, would be greatly ap-preciated. The material for thisarticle was prepared by FrankR. Spencer.

HOW TO FIND THE COMETThere is a new comet in the

sky, but the astronomers arekeeping it dark. They are pre-tending to let us in on the secretand telling us just where to lookfor the visitor. It is, they said,"in the right ascension, fourteenhours and nine minutes, northdeclination, eight and a half de-grees." Then they probably wentaround the corner and had a goodlaugh.That method of putting a cometon the map may be all right fora professional, but the right as-cension and north declination aretoo deep for the rest of us. It'slike telling a. patient he hassymptoms of gastroenteralgia,when there isn't a thing the mat-ter with him but old-fashionedbelly ache . The comet is liableto be gone before we find outwhere the reference points are.

What we want in a case likethis is a description of its posi-tion as six inches west of theEpiscopal church steeple or twofeet over the top of Bill Jones'sgarage. A person who hans'tlearned to call all the stars bytheir first names might go outand stare north declination rightin the face and never know it.No wonder astronomy isn't anymore popular than it is.

YOUR LEAD"Deacon White," said Parson

Jackson softly, "will you lead usin prayer?"

There was no answer."Deacon White, this time in a

little 1 ouder voice, "will youlead?"

Still no response. Evidentlythe deacon was slumbering. Par-son Jackson made a third appealand raised his voice to a highpitch that succeded in arousingthe drowsy man. "Deacon White,will you lead?"

The deacon, in bewilderment,rubbed his heavy eyes and blurt-ed: "Lead yourself-I justdealt!"

VICTORYMurphy Winds Up Grid

Career With 98 Yd.Run For Touchdown.

(By W. D. Fletcher.)The btill college football team

endet' its lb24 grid seaon at theWestern league park by defeat-ing the Ellsworth college eleven,O27 to 7. The locals scored threeof their four markers in theopening hailf, adding the finalcounter in the third period, whilethe Iowa Falls gridders garneredseven points just at the close ofthe first half.

Coach Frank Sutton's players,in annexing their fourth straightvictory of the season, took anearly lead, scoring- during thefirst five minutes of play. Twicethey planted the oval behind thevisiting goal posts in the nextperiod, a ninety-eight :yard run,return of a kickoff for a touch-down by Captain Robert Murphyfeaturing this stanza.

Scoring honors, as well as thepremier laurels of victory, wereequally shared by Jim Regan andhis captain, Murphy. Regan, de-spite the fact that he was amarked performer in the contest,lugged the ball for gains of vary-ing length through the Ells-worth defense and also playedbrilliantly on the defense.

Murphy Stars.Murphy, playing his last con-

test .in a' Still college uniform,closed his local gridiron careerin a most fitting manner. Fromthe sitlart of the game he was aconsistent ground gainer and aid-ed his mate, Regan by.his deadlyand hard blocking when runninginterference. He was responsiblefor the most sensational run ofthe game in the third quarter.

Still scored its initial touch-down by indulging in a paradethrough the visiting defense fol-lowing the kickoff: Regan' landMurphy were responsible formost of these gains, althoughHannan also tore through, whenyardage was needed. After ad-vancing to the Ellsworth 7-yardline, Regan plowed through andcrossed the goal line, Myers add-ing the extra point.

Shortly after the second periodopened, Still. counted again, Re-gan: crashing fifteen yards forthe six points and Myers' toegiving Still the added point. Fol-lowing this marker, Northeraft

straight up the field for twentyyards and-then suddenly dartedtoward the right side4line. Bril-liant interference' and blockingby his teammates soon enabledhim to get into the open. Afterhe crossed Ellsworth's 40-yardline, however, two Iowa Fallstacklers became a menace, butJean McIntosh, with a crashingblock, spilled both Ellsworthplayers and Murphy romped theremaining distance to the goalline.

A series of forward passes en-:abled Ellsworth to score in thethird period.' Two long heaves,Walrath to Tresmer, placed theoval on Still's 2-yard line andNorthcraft plunged over on thirddown.

P.Schwartz, the latter being thehead of the department of Urol-ogy and Proctology. Both aremen of high calibre" and' bydrawing on their' vast fund ofpractical experience, are able todemonstrate' the outstandingfeatures of the case t'-' the !stu-dents in the most lucid manner.

Power of Personality

Personality is one of those fre-.quently used words which aretoo large to be contained in de-finition. It can only be thought*of as a man's complete life, whathe has achieved through' the useof that great power of construc-tive thought .and action. 'It, isthe product of his mental :pro-cesses. and attitude, for person-Qality is made or destroyed by themind.

Personality is that force whichgives one command over himselfin any circumstances, which en-ables him to master his feelingsand impulses, as well is his voice,his gestures and his looks. Thisis the type of man who is a realpower.

That which we call a strongpersonality is not a gift limitedto ;a fortunate few, but a goal inthe reach of all who will pay theprice. The foundation for astrong personality should be laidin character, just, sincere andgood. It, is the result of theconstant use of judgment, pru-dence, diplomacy, tact, and theconsideration of the rights andprivileges of others. It is devel-oped through clean living andnoble thought.

CONTROL.There are silent depths in the

ocean which the storms that lashthe surface into fury never reach.People who have learned to con-trol themselves, who do not liveon the surface'of their being, butwho reach down into the depths,where, in the stillness, the voiceof God is heard, where they ab-sorb the great principles of life,are not affected by the thousandand one storms and tempests-domestic, financial, social, politi-cal, which cause so much suffer-ing and unhappiness, and mar somany lives. In the depths oftheir being they find the divinestabilizing power whih carriesthem poised, and serene eventhrough a hurricane of difficul-ties. O. S. M.

A CHEERY DISPOSITION-is like air in a tire. Therereally doesn't seem to be muchto it, but it makes the goingeasier and happier for everybody.The rougher the road the moreyou need it.

on the taking of the case historyas. it often proves a decidingfactor in arriving at 'a diagnosis.After the examination, the caseis turned over to the student fortreatment. In order to facili-tate the work, a Clinical Labor-atory is maintained under thedirection of a skilled laboratorytechnician where the studentmay make complete urine, bloodand gastric analyses. In thisway the student receives carefuland valuable instruction in lab-oratory diagnosis in direct rela-tion to his patient. In conjunc-tion with the laboratory, a spe-cial examination room is main-tained under the direcion of anasssistant clinician where thestudent is permitted to takemore delicate and specific ex-amination.. This department isfully equipped with the latestdiagnostic instruments and thestudent is again able to secureinvaluable practical instruction.Following examination and diag-nosis, careful treatment is out-lined and followed. After thefirst week, a complete report ofprogress made, is required andeach two weeks thereafter untildischarge. The result of thisplan gives the student firsthand information as to the re-sult and the effect of Osteoplath-ic treatment in actual condi-tions.

During treating hours, theclinician and assistants make"rounds" examining patients andif necessar,y advising changes intreatment. Thus the patient re-ceives the maximum of servicefor the minimum of cost. Clini-cal exiamination and a course often treatments costing $3.00, or

a private examination may behad for $5.00.

Ample opportunity is providedfor the student to test out andput to practical use all theoriespropigated in the lecture rooms.Every student is required togive a minimum of five hundredtreatments and to write up anddiscuss two cases per semesterfor graduation.

Such is- the conduct of theGeneral Clinic of D. M. S. C. .OIt is plainly seen by the forego-ing that the student is carefullytrained in the practical appli-cation of his knowledge. It isthe consensus of opinion that'D.M. S. C. 0. has the best clinic ofany osteopathic school, and suchan opinion is well founded asthe statistics will show thatthere is not only a large num-ber of patients treated but thatthere is also an exceptionallygreat variety of cases.

When the student of Osteop-athy avails himself of his clini-cal opportunities, when he ob-tains his knowledge from actualexperience in the application ofthe theories instead of fromhearsay and book knowledgealone, he is bound to be a morecapable physician, and is far bet-ter fitted to cope with the prob-lems of professional life than ifsuch experience were not to behad.

With the careful training hegets in the General Clinic. theDepartmental Clinics and theunexcelled didactic work hecannot but know that his wasthe preparation for SUCCESS.

APOLOGIES!

The Log Book wishes to offerits apologies to Dr. Woods forhaving pulled the "boner" ofprinting his middle initial as"R". The Doctor proudly assertsthat it should be "M" and that afamous English poet was namedafter him. Three guesses as to"Handsome Johnnie's" middlename!

PUBLISHED SEMI-MONTHLY BY THE UES MOINES STILL COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY

Volume 2 December 15,1924 Number 11

From the Field

The Log. Book is always gladto receive letters for publicationfrom the Field. It not onlykeeps the Field Doctor in touchwith the old gang and keeps theold college spirit percolating butalso gives the present "genera-tion" an insight into the atti-tude and conditions existent inthe Field.

The following are excerptsfrom a letter received from Dr.W. J. Laird, January '24, at pres-ent Publicity Director of the De-troit Osteopathic Association.

The Detroit Osteopathic Asso-ciation has been a little slow ingetting its winter program ofaffairs started, but has showngreater activity during themonth of November. At the No-vember meeting, held at the De-troit Osteopathic Hospital, thelargest turnout in months wason deck to enjoy a real lectureby a real Osteopath. Dr. W. R.Gregg, of Oberlin, Ohio, andformerly Professor of Histologyat D. M. S.C. O., delivered alengthy and interesting discourseon the "Scope and Practice ofOsteopathy at Present." Dr.Gregg has had opportunity tostudy the opinions, methods andattainments of the profession asa whole, over the entire country,and every D. O. present thatevening received a valuable ad-dition to his knowledge of na-tional affairs. We are confidentthat Dr. Gregg has few peers asa lecturer, and we hope to hearhim again in the near future.

The monthly meetings of thelocal association are beingplanned with care, and somelively and instructive times areanticipated.

Prospects of a general Osteo-pathic clinic with surgical, den-tal and special adjuncts are look-ing brighter than in severalyears. The question of a build-ing and equipment is the big ob-stacle at the present,date, but wehope that the next few monthswill bring a solution. A clinicwould do wonders in this city,and its absence is deplorable, inview of the facilities which De-troit offers for such an institu-tion.

We wish to congratulate StillCollege on the phenomenal suc-cess of its football team thisyear, and assure you that yourseason has been a success. Com-petition of the caliber of Has-kell Indians is worth obtaining,and it is with pride that the D.O.'s in this vicinity pointed tothe score of that battle with theyipping redskins. Still collegewould do well to come east of

Wishing you luck and a merryXmas at D. M. S. C. 0.-

Fraternally,DR. W. J. LAIRD.

Comparative Figures

A comparison of our tonsilect-omy clinic with the City Hospi-tal Clinic is very interesting.Records show that during themonth of September there wereseventeen tonsilectomys per-formed at the City Hospital.Our clinic records show 272 op-erations on tonsils during thesame period. Such figures areindeed gratifying and are in-dicative of a steady march ofprogress.

NOTICE

Heretofore the college has beenput to the expense of filling outapplication blanks and makingtranscripts of grades in comply-ing with the request for BoardApplications. The amount is notmuch in any single case, butwhen it occurs from five to tentimes a month it means that thefunds are being dispersed at therate of from ten to twenty dol-lars a month, which in the courseof a year amounts to consider-able and it can be easily seenthat it does not go to the ad-vancement of the school. There-fore, no application or trans-cript will be sent out unless itis accompanied by a fee of $2.50payable to the college.

IPORH TE TROUBLE FOR PARENTSThe first essential in training

a child is to have more sensethan the child.-Vincennes Sun.

Football Feed andi DanceIn recognition of faithful ser-

vice, at the close of the mostsuccessful football season in thehistory of the college, CoachFrank Sutton and the entiresquad were entertained at theAnnual Football Banquet, held atthe Savery Hotel, Saturday, De-cember 6th.

After satisfying the inner man,the squad were treated to a seriesof well diversified after-dinnerspeeches, under the guidance ofthe Athletic iManager, Dr. PinkieSchwartz, Toastmaster.

The dance was held in the ballroom of the Savery, immediatelyfollowing the banquet, and wasgiven under the auspices of theMasonic Club of the college. TheBankers Life Radio Orchestrabroadcasted some mean music,and the large crowd had a glori-ous time.

The feature event of the eve-ning was a Balloon Dance. inwhich Deane Elsea came out vic-tor. Due to his excessive "reach"he was able to protect his "fairone's 'balloons long after all oth-ers were demolished.

SOME PARTY!

The Senior "A"sThe Senior A class has been

solidly organized since their firstweek within the college walls.The class was small, consistingof nine members, of which eightwill be graduated in January.New members have been addedto the "happy family" whichhave swelled the enrollment tothirteen.

A genuine spirit of loyalty andhelpfulness has ever been mani-fest. The individual memberslook forward to entering thefield of practice with high hopes,but it is with a feeling of re-gret at having to sever our closeassociations.

The class has realized thevalue of well correlated knowl-edge along certain lines. To bet-ter prepare the members in La-boratory Diagnosis, Prof. Geo.Hurt, has been leading the groupin practical laboratory workwhere each man can clear up anyfaulty ideas and bolster up histechnique under direct supervi-sion. Dr. Virg Halladay is ondeck regularly to help us teacheach other what we have learnedin Osteopathic Technique.

We are not only ambitious,but are systematically workingto establish the January, 1925,Class as one of the best trainedclasses that was ever graduatedfrom D. M. S. C. O.

The Class officers are as fol-lows:R. T. Lustig, President.Ray Price, Vice Pres.Geo. W. Rastede, Sec.-Treas.

The Prodigal

The prodigal's mind departedhence

And wandered away far off,He threw discretion to the very

windThen one day thought of the

prof.

The professor saw him fromafar

And took off his spec's and cried,Make room for the wayward stu-

dent,Do not cast thy brother aside.

Mow those students had stayedat school and worked

Had planned and sowed and· reaped,They studied their chemistry

most every night,They hardly had time to sleep.

To their dismay the brother boldFrom devious paths beyondHad come to gather some Laur-

el's inAnd like as not abscond.

Alas! poor students in deep dis-may

They had to dispatch their class,To feed the gluttony of worthless

kin.They sure were handed the

"gaff"

And the worst of it all to thisvery day

The teacher's delight to tellAbout the young chap who re-

turned to classAnd with his poor classmates

raised L-

And when he mentioned the stu-dents at all,

He actually called them a grouchBecause they kicked on wasting

-their time,.To coddle the lazy slouch.

Albeit the world wags on thatway,

;The same as in days of vore,The cuss who tears off the wid-; est stripIs marked with the highest

score.

'We hope some day the tide willturn

When STUDENTS will all be ex-empt

And they will sit at the helm ofaffairs

And view the laggard with con-tempt

"Jaw."

Are You Looking for aLocation?

Dr. J. A. Nowlin of Fprmer'City, Illinois ,is looking for acompetent Osteopath, licensed to'practice in the state of Illinois,to act as his assistant for a per-Iod of 3 or 4 months. Furtherinformation mav be had bv writ-ing either the Doctor or the LogBook.

President ...........-. S. L. Taylor,Editor--_-------- DDon Baylor


MOTIVE

I saw a picture the other dayof a group of children with nos-es flattened against the windowof a toy shop-nothing could bemore emblematic of Christmas-tide.

Nothing could be more em-blematic of a phrase that inter-prets every great success, thatmotivates every effort, that leadsto every great achievement, andthat insures the fullest use ofpersonal resources, than thiswhimsical, kindly, heart-under-.standing conceit of the artist.

Any man who gets anywhere in;any field at any time builds his:achievement on the foundation of)his great desire.

If you could have the longing-for recognition in your heart,:akin to the longing of the little'ten-year-old has for an uprightisteam engine or that his littlesister has for the toy dishes anddoll furniture. If you were filledwith a great desire for a definitething, you could visualize and'work for it. If, figurativelyspeaking, you yourself alwayskept your nose flattened againstthe show window of the object of:your ambition, then disastercould not discourage you, andneither men nor circumstanceswould have power enough to stopyou.

The motive is the thing. Theright motive makes men winfootball games and high profes-:sional honors. The right motivemakes men brave desert wastes:and unknown lands, to build'homes and commonwealths. Theright motive makes men presi-dents and executives of greatcorporations, leaders in businessenterprises, go-getters in com-merce and industry as well as inprofessional fields.

The great desire can take awayyour doubts and make you lion-hearted; the right motive cantake your will and turn it intosteel. The great desire can makea super-man of any individual,and point to him the way to anygoal.

'Round the Campus

It.is sure a dead ol' hole witheveryone at home with their feetunder Ma's table.

The few upperclassmen whohave stayed over have beenswamped in the general clinic.Gettin' in lots of good treat-ments.

Old Doc Stork evidently does-n't appreciate the fact that thereis such a thing as a Christmas va-cation, when he pulls off twelve0. B. cases during the first weekof the aforesaid intermission inour scholastic battle with suc-cess.

Friend Angus has been doingconsiderable manicuring aboutthe palace of learning duringyour absence. Don't slip on thepolished floors, George!

Those who have been forced tospend the holidays in the cityhave reported various and sundryoccupations, from holding downseven jobs to looking after threefellows' girls. One misguidedyouth even admitted the iein-ous crime of studying.

The Office Force have beenkept busy since the body/of thelatest Des Moines thrill producerhas been awarded the school fordissection purposes, telling curi-osity bugs that D. M. S. C. O. isa professional school and not adime museum.

Won't be long before the 1925cage season is on in full force.Dr. Schwartz promises an excep-tional schedule, so prepare to usethe old athletic card to yourheart's content.

We've another year before usin which to further promulgatethe glory of D. M. S. C. 0. Weare fully aware that our athleticteams have been the best yet, weare proud of our clinic records,we bow to the superior quality ofour faculty, we are saturatedwith an impregnable loyalty toour school, and above all we aremore firmly convinced that thereis no calling on the face of theearth that will compare to Os-teopathy. During the comingyear, 1925, may we raise thestanding of our profession andour college to the Nth degree ofsuperiority!

Everywhere, in high life or inlow, in real history or in the fic-tions of men, in the. myths ofyoung nations or in the legendsof the old, in the religions of theworshipful or in the skepticismsof the Godless, the outer physi-cal manifestation, consciously orunconsciously is accepted as theproduct of the inner life.-H. L.Piner.

New e _rar rttringWhatever your trade, your profession, your call-

ing, be sure that it is clean, useful, and honorable.Choose a business that has expansiveness in it; anoccupation that will develop you, elevate you,which will give you a chance for: self-improvement,which will make you more of a man. "Thy life,"

says Carlyle, "is all thou hast to comfort eternitywith."

NOTICE

Heretofore the college has beenput to the expense of filling outapplication blanks and makingtranscripts of grades in comply-ing with the request for BoardApplications. The amount is notmuch in any single case, butwhen it occurs from five to tentimes a month it means that thefunds are being dispersed at therate of from ten to twenty dol-lars a month, which in the courseof a year amounts to consider-able and it can be easily seenthat it does not go to the ad-vancement of the school. There-fore, no application or trans-cript will 'be sent out unless itis accompanied by a fee of $2.50payable to the college.

Did you ever realize that byyielding instead of resisting, bygiving in instead of being stub-born of being a stickler for anapology, you disarm the resent-ment 'and awaken the better na-ture of the one who has injuredyou? Many people have thusgained the good will of onewhom they had regarded as anenemy.-O. S. Marden.

If we work upon marble, it willperish if on brass, time wvillefface it; if we rear.temples, theywill crumble into dust; but ifwe work upon immortal minds,and imbue them with principles,with the just fear of God andlove of our fellow-men, we en-grave on those tablets somethingthat will brighten to all eternity.-Daniel Webster.

Makes Cancer Study

The Metropolitan Life has is-sued a report on its study of can-cer, in which it brings out thefact that cancer is so often asso-ciated with adult life that mostpersons do not know that a con-siderable number of deaths occuramong children and adolescents,and that, in certain parts of thebody, cancer actually 'appearsalmost as frequently in childrenand adolescents as in adults. Ina study of 90,175 deaths fromcancer among Metropolitan in-dustrial policyholders, over a pe-riod of 12 years, it was discoveredthat 1,910 were those of personsunder 25 years. The organs andparts of the body most frequent-ly attacked by malignant growthsin early life were the brain, thebones, the kidneys and supra-renals, and the lung and pleura.One-third of all brain cancersappeared among persons under25; of bone cancers and those ofthe kidneys 'and supra-renals, 25per cent were under 25; and ofthe lungs and pleura, 12 per cent,

Danger for AdultsIt is a surprise to most per-

sons to know that at the pres-ent time a man or woman is morelikely to die of cancer than oftuberculosis, in spite of the factthat the death rate from tuber-culosis is, as yet, a little higherthan that for cancer. In 1922,for example, the tuberculosisdeath rate was 97 per 100,000,while that from cancer was 87.Nevertheless, it is true that achild, having once reached 10years of age, is, according topresent indications, in greaterdanger of dying ultimately fromcancer than from tuberculosis.The explanation of this lies inthe fact that tuberculos claimsits victims heavily in early adultlife, whereas cancer ,does not be-gin to do its most deadly workuntil middle life.

Alumni, Field men-this para-graph is directed to you! Yourpart in the propagation of theprofession is to supply the vari-ous educational institutions withthe "raw materials!" It soundslike a rather broad, bold state-ment but nevertheless it is atrue one. You are the men in di-rect contact, of personal ac-quaintance, with prospective stu-dents you are the examples ofour profession in their respectivecommunities, and it is to youthat these men and women arelooking for guidance in the mat-ter of deciding whether or. notto enter this profession andwhich institution to select fortheir preparation. Do not pro-crastinate and wait for them tomake inquiries of you. Broachthe subject, make an earnest en-deavor to send some promisingyoung man or woman from yourcommunity to enter every class.

You are well aware, by now, ofthe unlimited opportunities opento a progressive man or womanin the field of Osteopathy. Whatgreater service could you renderthe coming generation than toinfluence some of its members toenter the profession?

D. M. S. C. 0. asks a fair con-sideration in your mind in aidingthese young people in selecting acollege. Our faculty is withoutpeer, our clinical facilities enjoyan enviable reputation and theathletic and social phase of ourlife at D. M. S. C. O. is on a parwith any like institution in thecountry.

Let us urge that you "lookover" the promising prospects inyour community with the thought,in mind of seeing them embarked.upon their career in the JanuaryClass, 1925, at the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy.

speak l.at word NowI used to know a flint hearted

old codger in a small Iowa towrwho was as guilty of murder asLoeb and Leopold. But he didn'tpay for his crime; nor suffer anyloss of esteem in the communityHe just worked his wife to death

Then he put a stone slab atthe head of her grave on whichwas appropriately carved this im-mortal phrase, "Rest in Peace.'

I' remember her frail andwracked figure as she used tchurry about her work-much toostrenuous for the herculean sav-age who ruled her destiny. Sheused to stumble sometimes, butshe always hurried on toward herrest! And in all those years notone word of praise, not one tinyword of thanks ever issued fromthe raucous throat of him whodrove her.

A mother wrote me a letterthe other day which has lingeredin my mind ever since. She' toldabout the long, hard struggle towin a home and clothe and edu-cate' her daughters.' "But," she added, a bit wistful-

ly, I thought, "all has been.easybecause -of the little words ofpraise 'which have come! Nomatter how hard I work makinga dress, when my girls say, 'Oh,mother, how truly wonderful!' Iam more than repaid. No mat-ter how hard the day has been inkitchen or garden, when husbandor neighbors say, 'how_ nice thisis!' I just straighten up a bit andall the load falls off. I think alittle word like this is the mostimportant secret of happiness!"

The mother is right. Wordsare little bombs which may ex-plode indefinitely. And, some-how, we seem to have a set desireeternally to use the wrong kind.We are still half savage, and wecontinue to use the hard wordsfar too generously.

A' soft word! A little word ofappreciation! Ah, how fine itwould be if we could but sprinklethem about each day! How'manyburdens. grievous to be bornewould be lifted from wearybacks; how many care-lined' faceswould break into. ripples of hap-piness; how ' manvy .'nervelfess fin-!gers 'would quicken and throbwith a desire to do more!

Speak that little word now!It will lift the clouds and :stemthe tides. It will surmount theinsurmountable,, and how close itdraws us together! -Selected.

tones)-"Who told you to putthat paper on the wall?"

The Game of Life

It is a rather difficult task tcsit around during vacation. over-ly filled with customary Christ-mas dinner delicacies and ineager anticipation of what New'Year's Eve holds in store, to-pound out' an editorial on theold Corona that will prove soul-inspiring, et'c., etc.

The following poem from thepen of 'Ida M. Thomas, is the-most appropriate and, complete.expression of an age-old truth-that could be found. There's-wisdom -in- every line of it, notonly for the fellow students whograduate next month, but for-those who are just entering col-lege and also for that old bunch*of reliable standbys, the Alumni.

"It's a wonderful game if youplay it right,

'If you use every ,one of yourteammates white,

If you never cheat, and are fairand square

And learn the lesson of bear andforbear.

"If you meet with a failure nowand then,

To never give up, but to try itagain,

And through it all to keep smil-ing and sweet,

Though looking straight in theface of defeat.

"If you stick to the rules of thegame, my friend,

You are sure of a victory in theend.

While some are unfair, be it saidto their shame,

If you play it right, it's a won-derful game."

Makes Cancer Study(Continued from page 1).

berculosis has relatively,. morematerial to work on than cancer,and the, proportion of the ,twodeath rates does not representthe "betting odds" that a childof ten, for example, will eventu-ally die of tuberculosis, or ofcancer, as the case may be.These odds can be calculated bythe construction of a life table,and by then segregating the tu-berculosis and cancer deathsfrom all deaths, and construct-ing truncated life tables withthe remainder.

At age ten, for males, the prob-ability of dying eventually fromcancer was .0837. That is to say,of 100 males at that age, morethan eight will eventually die ofcancer. The probability of even-tual death from tuberculosis, onthe other hand, was. only. .0684,which indicates that less than

seven out of 100, will die fromtuberculosis. The cancer prob-ability for males was 'therefore22 per cent in excess of that fortuberculosis.

For females at age 10, themeasure of cancer probabilitywas .1132, and for tuberculosis,.0606. Here the cancer probabil-ity was 87 per cent in excess ofthe chance of- eventual· deathfrom tuberculosis. The excessof the probability measure forcancer over that of tuberculosisincreases decidedly with advancein age.

With a rising cancer deathrate, and a falling tuberculosisdeath rate, as a prospect for theimmediate future, we may ex-pect a greater disparity in thefigures for' cancer and tubercu-losis probability. The control oftuberculosis has engaged publicattention for. many years. At'present, provisions for cancer re-search, diagnosis' and treatmentsare meagre in comparison withthe magnitude of the task andthe importance of cancer as asource; of diminishing longevityand of intense suffering.

BONESETTERS LOSEFIRST CAGE GAME

Teams Battle Hard in See-SawContest

The Southern Surety quintetdefeated Still College 20 to 17 ina closely played contest whichwas a curtain-raiser to the Kan-sas-Drake game at the Coliseum.

The game was a nip and tuckaffair all the way, with neitherfive having more than a point ortwo advantage until the last fewminutes, when the Surety quintetforged to the front with a 20 to15 lead. Still, fighting desper-ately, counted one basket, butcould not overtake its opponents.

Although the half ended 11 to10 favoring the ultimate victors,the Osteopaths outpassed andoutplayed the insurance five inthat period, but failed to makegood on its shots.

Simpson, McKinley and Fin-layson played best for the vic-tos, iMyers, Friend and Smithdoing the best work for the Oste-opaths.

The Democracy of Death

In the democracy of the dead,all men 'are at last equal. Thereis neither rank nor station norprerogative in the republic ofthe grave. At this fatal thresh-old the philosopher ceases to bewise, and the song of the poet issilent. Dives relinquishes hismillions, and Lazarus his rags.The poor man is as rich as therichest, and the rich man is aspoor as the pauper. The creditorloses his usury, and the debtor isacquitted 'of his obligation. Therethe proud man surrenders hisdignities, the politician his hon-ors, the worldling his pleasures,the invalid needs no physician,and the laborer rests from unre-quited toil.

Here at last is nature's finaldecree in equity. The wrongs oftime are redressed, injustice isexpiated, the irony of fate is re-futed, the unequal distributionof wealth, honor, capacity, pleas-ure and opportunity which makeslife so cruel and inexplicableceases in the realm of death.The mightiest captain succumbsto that invincible adversary,who disarms alike the victor andthe vanquished.-John J. Ingalls.

D. M. S. C. O. StudentsMortally Wounded

One of the most heinous crimesin the history of the institutionhas been committed and the per-petrator goes unpunished. Withno warning, no mitigating cir-cumstances, no motive, rhyme orreason whatsoever, this time-hardened criminal, masqueradingin the role of a god, and noclothing, crept into the friend-ship of his unsuspecting victimsand shot them both through theheart in the most hot-bloodedmanner known to mankind. Thefollowing clipping from the Ev-ans City, Pa., Daily Bugle, tellsthe heart rendering tale.

Engagement AnnouncedMr. and Mrs. R. S. Irwin of Ev-

ans City announce the engage-ment of their daughter, Miss LoisNaomi Irwin, to Mr. Doyle A.Richardson of Austin, Minnesota.

In other words, Cupid's donehis stuff!

NOTICE

Heretofore the college has beenput to the expense of filling outapplication blanks and makingtranscripts of grades in comply-ing with the request for BoardApplications. The amount is notmuch in any single case, butwhen it occurs from five to tentimes a month it means that thefunds are being dispersed at therate of from ten to twenty dol-lars a month, which in the courseof a year amounts to consider-able and it can be easily seenthat it does not go to the ad-vancement of the school. There-fore, no application or trans-cript will be sent out unless itis accompanied -by a fee of $2.50payable to the college.

Service-Real ServiceA local hotel proprietor was

host to a dozen of the unfortu-nates who were in the city jailand paroled for Christmas daywithout any prospects of a din--ner of any kind.

A D. M. S. C. 0. student wasdetailed to serve the guests, andafter the first course was set be-fore them, one of the ltnumbersuggested it would be, fine ifsome one should say grace. Nonearound the board volunteered,and the embryo D. O. stepped overand said, "If you really want it,I can do it." "Yes, go ahead,"said about half the men, so thestudent put it over.

"Be Prepared" is the Scouts'watchword, and would not _beamiss for all of us to observe.

MID YEAR CLASSEXPECTED TO BEAT

PREVIOUS RECORDSFrom all indications, the mid-

year enrollment this year willsurpass all previous records.Letters from the field, from theprospective students, and verbalinterviews are-responsible for theoffice force planning to worknights, if necessary, to handlethe new students.

All loyal alumni of D. M. S. C.O. should be constantly on thelookout for prospective material.Without a doubt, there are youngmen and women in your localitywho would be interested -in thework if some one were to givethem detailed information re-garding the school, curriculum,and such matters. Forward theirnames to the secretary, or havethe prospective student writepersonally and the office will beglad to do all in their power tosupply the desired information.

The following letter is a goodexample of the letters we receivealmost daily from the field:D. M. S. C. O.Des Moines, Ia.Dear Doctors:

I enjoy the Log Book verymuch and note that you have let-ters from the field. I can speakin the highest praise of the finetraining I received at Still Col-lege and especially the trainingI had in the surgical departmentunder Dr. Taylor, who taught mehow to administer anesthetics.

While in the army with the168th Field Hospital, RainbowDiv., I was anesthetist for theoperating team and since, prac-ticing in Worthington, Minne-sota, I am anesthetist for two lo-cal hospitals and a dentist, andall comes from the splendidtraining at Still, and of coursethe Osteopathy I learned is thebest ever. Hoping I may securesome new students for you, I am,

Every man should so carry him-self before the world that hewill show in his very face andmanner that there is somethingwithin him not for sale some-thing so sacred that he would re-gard the slightest attempt to de-bauch it as an unpardonable in-sult. He should so carry himselfthat no one would even dare tosuggest that he could be boughtor bribed.

Are You Looking for aLocation

Dr. Wm. C. Harper, of Waldo,Arkansas, writes that Arkansaslaws are as good as any otherstate for Osteopathy and that heis moving to Salt Lake City,Utah, as soon as he can lease orsell his practice.

The Log Book would be pleasedto furnish any other informationany interested D. O. might wish.

A Doctor in Long Beach, Cali-fornia, who wishes to retire, in-forms us that his exceptionallygood practice is for sale to onewho c'an furnish proof of respon-sibility. The Log Book has fur-ther information for those inter-ested.

Drs. B. K. and Gladys Powell,of Clarksville, have written theSecretary asking that their let-ter be brought to the attentionof the graduating class. TheDoctors are desirous of movingnorth, and feel that it is onlyfair to their many patients tolocate a competent successor.They describe Clarksville as be-ing "'a beautiful southern townof 10,000 population, a rich to-bacco center, our patients beingthe very best people here." Thisshould prove an exceptional op-portunity for some enterprisingyoung D. O.

Big Brothers' ClubThe Big Brothers Club of the

University Christian church is anorganized class 'in Bible study.Organized nearly six years ago,it has grown till today it is thelargest class of young men inDes Moines. Just now we areholding a membership contestwith the Central church, whichboasts of the oldest class.

The club wants the college man.Lots of fellows who attend col-lege break away from religiouswork because they don't knowwhere to go.

The B. B. C. welcomes all stu-dents. Last year we had quitea number of Still students. Wewant more this year. How aboutit, fellows? Meet with us nextSunday morning at nine-thirty inthe auditorium at Drake Univer-sity.

Where Time GoesPeople are always complaining

about the length of time thatthey work as though there wasnothing in life but work.

A person at 70 has slept 23years; worked 19 years, given 9years to amusement, to eating 6years, to traveling 6 years, to ill-ness four years, to dressing 2years and to religious devotion1I year. These figures are scien--tifically arrived at, and of course,:approximately correct, provided-thework item is not carriediome in the 'form of worry to

cheat the sleep item and theamusement item.

The work item will not be sooppressive if we take the atti-tude that day by day, hour byhour, and moment by moment, Igrow stronger, healthier, happierand younger.

Fraternity NotesIota Tau Sigma

The annual I. T. S. formal, heldDecember 18 at Hoyt ShermanPlace, was a complete success,with Doctors Grossman andSchwartz as chaperons, followingwhich the party transferred itsactivities to the fraternity housefor a luncheon.

The fraternity enjoyed smokeson Ray Staples December 15, theoccasion being the announcementof his marriage to Miss AdelaideMunger of Des Moines.

The boys remaining over theholidays enjoyed a Christmastree at the house, each man hav-ing hung his sock the night be-fore. By all reports there werevery appropriate gifts given. ANew Year's party was also en-joyed at the house.

After a much needed and, byall reports, a most enjoyableChristmas holiday, the boys ,aretrying to settle down into theroutine of school work oncemore.

The following men, Odell, Shaw,Platt, Russell, Benien, Cochranand Olsen kept 2007 Grand alivewhile the rest scattered to thefour winds with the idea of mak-ing someone happy.

Delta OmegaVacation! Vacation!Leota Grosgean had a rare one,

since "her flock" took turns atthe Flu-however she did havetime to take a few bob rides,even so.

Mabel Runyon spent the holi-days at her home in Nebraska,while Mildred Trimble was ather home in Montezuma, Iowa.

The Krug sisters, Emma andIrene, report a lively time inMontana, while Bee Fowler, afterrepulsing an attack of Flu, spenta few delightful days at Chari-ton, Iowa.

Seen!! Dr. Neva Moss and Lil-la Davidson "listening in" on OtisSkinner in his production of "San-cho Panzo." It is understoodthat Dr. Neva spent a wholeweek visiting in Des Moines.

Avis, Pat, Zoa. Dee and Mabellekept the "home" fires burning ingood old Des Moines and watchedover Still College while othersmade merry. Believe as muchof that as you wish-anyhow,they remained in the city.

Atlas ClubA banquet is to be held next

Friday night in honor of the At-las men who are graduating.They are Dr. Robert Lustig, Doc-tor Albert Lewis and Dr. GeorgeRastede.

The Atlas men who resided inDes Moines during the holidayswere kept busy on O. B. work,getting called even on Christmasday.

It has reached our ears thatBrother "Steve" Smith is step-ping out-yes, he is really takingdancing lessons.

Brother Louis Miller journeyedto Martland, Missouri, during theholidays. What is the attraction,"Loui?"

Brother John Voss, who wascalled home before the holidayson account of the serious illnessof his father, reports that his fa-

ther is much better. Glad tohear it, Jack.

Brother Ross Richardson tooka nice trip during the holidays.He visited his parents in Calgary,Alberta. He reports the temper-ature varied from 25 to 50 de-grees below zero, Fahrenheit.Nice cold visit, we think.

Some of the brothers visitedBrother Tom Vandergrift, who ispracticing in Austin, Minnesota.They report he is doing verynicely. Glad to hear it, Tom.

Axis ClubDecember 1 the Alpha Xi Iota

Sigma initiated Miss Olive Len-hart at the home of Mrs. BerthaMiesserschmidt. Doctor IreneBachman and Dr. Morris werefield members present. The rugswere rolled back and the girlsdanced until a rather late hour,when Mrs. Messerschmidt andMiss Irwin served a lunch, andthe party broke up.

The members of the Alpha XiIota Sigma gave a cabin partyat Greenwood Park last Wednes-day evening. The guests wereRosemary and Mrs. Robinson, 01Oleson, Doyle Richardson, GeraldMyers, Vernon Casey, DonaldWier, Ira DeWalt and DoctorKipp. All club members werepresent except Amorette. MissJones, Miss Lenhart and Mrs. De-Walt, ably assisted by DonaldWier and Vernon Casey, decorat-ed the cabin, cooked the steaksand made the coffee. Everyonehad a good time, in spite of ex-ams the next day.

Miss Anna Doyle spent herChristmas vacation with homefolks.

Miss Lois Irwin spent part ofher Christmas vacation withfriends in Austin, Minnesota(?).

Several of the remaining Axisgirls took their friends and wentto Donald McRae park for awiener roast. Everyone enjoyedit except Casey. He fell on hisleft eye while skating, and con-sequently did not feel very hu-morous.

Miss Amorette Bledsoe enter-tained several friends for Christ-mas dinner. Everyone reporteda good time, and were loud inpraising Amorette's cooking.

Phi Sigma Gamma NotesThe fraternity bungalow is

more of a home than ever Sundayafternoons when the boys andtheir lady friends gather 'roundthe frat fireside and tell drollstories. Last Sunday DuBois'orchestra, "The Famous Sex-tette," captivated the crowd withtheir harmony and pep and somade the social hour more popu-lar than ever.

The fraters assembled on theevening of January 7 to enjoy anaddress by a former facultymember, Dr. M. E. Bachman. Thebrothers found his talk on "BloodPressure" was instructive beyondthat of ordinary classroom expe-rience, in that certain "tricks ofthe trade" were demonstrated.The goodfellowship emanatingfrom the presence of "Daddy"Bachman made the spirit of theparty more than a mere profes-sional one.

Wake up!Help up! Those who climb

Help up!

A Morning PrayerThe day returns and brings us

the petty round of irritating con-cerns and duties. Help us to playthe man, help us to performthem with laughter 'and kindfaces, let cheerfulness aboundwith industry. Give us to goblithely on our business 'all thisday, bring us to our resting bedsweary and content and undishon-ered, and grant us in the end thegift of sleep.-Robert Louis Ste-venson.

The law can touch us here andthere, now and then, but mannersare of more importance than thelaws. VManners are what vex orsoothe, corrupt or purify, exaltor debase, barbarize or refine bya constant, steady, uniform, in-sensible operation like that ofthe air we breathe.-EdmundBurke.

Those who refuse the longdrudgery of thought, and thinkwith the heart rather than thehead, are ever the most fiercelydogmatic in tone.-Bayne.

"Great men have purposes; oth-ers have wishes."

METHANOLSome time ago attention was

called to the coinage of this wordto be used in the future to desig-nate methyl alcohol, commonlycalled wood alcohol. The pur-pose was not to obtain a shorterword for this important materialnor to dignify it with a high-sounding title, but to provide atrade designation which wouldnot involve the word "alcohol"and consequently detract fromthe use of this material as a bev-erage by the uninformed. In oneyear in one of our larger citiesthere were fifty-four deathstraceable to the internal use ofwood alcohol. As soon as theword methanol had been accept-ed by the trade and users, thenumber of deaths in the samelocality dropped to less thantwenty in a year. It is believedthat a great deal more has beenaccomplished by this ingeniousdevice than would have beenpossible by any campaign of edu-cation or legal enforcements.-Scientific American.

FRATERNITY NOTES

(Continued from page 2)to have a return engagement ofthe Doctor.

Although Christmas vacationterminated a good while ago,many of the boys who were homeover the holidays still havedreamy moods-if observationsare true. Several of the boys losttheir jeweled pins, perhaps that'swhy. Stew Greiner heads thelist, but Monty, Mack Friend,Don Wier et al follow closely.And yet, springtime, accordingto the poets, is more appropriatefor such thoughts.

The fraternity semi-annualbanquet honoring their threegraduating members, was heldSaturday, January 17. Thoughtsof the past, present and futureof each of the honored graduateswere expressed by them in choicewords-words of "wisdom" to thebrothers still deep in classroomentanglement. Many of the alum-ni were in from the field withtheir professionalism, kit and all.Later in the evening the mem-bers enjoyed the fraternity danceat Hoyt Sherman Place.

Among the members expectedback to school this semester arePee Lee Lee from Paw Paw, Mich,igan, and Walter MacWilliamsfrom Columbus Junction, Iowa.We've missed them this semester,and now that they are to returnwe have planned a nice littleparty for them.

If New Year's resolutions arepopular-McFall is no back num-ber, for his new leaf is full ofthem. Ask the young doctorwhat these fads are.

Guests at the house during theholidays included many brothersfrom other chapters. Bumgard-ner and Gross from Alpha areperhaps the two who were withus most.

Moco Elsea studies hard thesecold nights. His meanest diver-sion is gazing into the fireplaceand writing poetry.

Gordon is back from Spokane.He reports that the rhubarb cropwas not so good the past year.

He has not learned the lessonof life who does not every daysurmount a fear.-Emerson.

Impressive Ceremony s u R G I CA tMarks Graduation of

Mil.-YPear l ass-

Commencement exercises foithe Class of January, 1925, wereheld in the auditorium, Thursdayevening, January 22nd. The halwas tastefully decorated, and theplatform was banked with fern,and palms.

The Class entered, to the mui;- of the march played by Mil

,dred Trimble, '27, accompanie(by the President, the Dean, DrRobert Bachmann and Dr. D. WMorehouse, the President o:Drake University. Immediatel3following Convocation by DrBachman, Roy Trimble, '28, rendered a vocal solo, accompanie(by Miss Mildred Trimble.

Dr. D. W. Morehouse gave thealidre.. -of thI

must be said that it was one ofthe finest that has ever been giv-en at D. M. S. C.O. He chose forhis subject "The More MaterialResults of Science," anrdiWen~fT-nto some detail explaining thefour methods of obtaining an ed-ucation, to wit, The Method ofTenacity, The Method of Author-ity, The Method of Reason, andThe Method of Science. Dr.Morehouse's talk carried a mes-sage of inestimable value to thegraduating class and to all with-in the sound of his voice. Truthswere brought home in a lightnever heretofore recognized bymany of us.

Following the address, RoyTrimble rendered another excel-lent vocal selection, immediatelyafter which Dean C. W. Johnsonpresented the class to PresidentTaylor for the conferring of thedegrees. Dr. Bachman gave thebenediction, and the exerciseswere closed with the march byMiss Trimble.

The class reception was heldimmediately afterward in the La-dies' room of the college.

D. M. S. C. 0. takes great pleas-ure in introducing the following"new" Doctors to the profession,and joins in wishing them allpossible success in the years tocome in the practice of theirchosen profession:

With the Cage ArtistsWith several new players add-

ed to the squad, Coach FrankSutton is now drilling his basket-ball team daily in preparationfor the remaining games on theschedule. Despite the fact thatDes Moines university called offthe two contests scheduled withthe Purple and White hoopsters,Manager J. P. (Pinkey) Schwartzexpects to have a schedule thatwill provide plenty of oppositionfor Coach Sutton's team.

Last week one new playerfrom the entering Freshman Aclass joined the ranks on the Ar-mory floor, this performer beingJ. Schaeffer from Jefferson, Iowa.Previously, Greiner also madehis first appearance in court togsand some 10 to 12 players haveparticipated in the daily scrim-mages in the Coliseum building.

Following the early season set-back at the hands of the strongSouthern Surety five, which alsoscored a triumph over the Simp-son College quintet on the lat-ter's floor, Coach Sutton's teamscored wins over the Valley "V"club and Grand View college inturn.

The Purple and White mentoris optimistic over the team'sprospects, and only expresses re-gret over the fact that it hasbeen impossible to slate morecollege games. The players whohave been used in games so farthis season are: Mike Hannan, Or-lando Smith, Mac Friend, Cap-tain Roy Davis, "Race" Myers,Ernie Schneider, Russell Nichol-as, Jim Regan, Johnnie Thelman,and Spencer.

J CLINICSThird in the series of articles

on the various D. M. S. C. O.Clinics, is the Surgical Clinic.Everyone realizes and admits thevast importance of surgery as anOsteopathic adjunct and the ab-solute necessity of a profoundknowledge of the science to be-come efficient Osteopaths.

It is the consensus of opinionthat the Department of Surgery,directed by Dr. S. L. Taylor, iswithout peer in the profession.

The subject appears in the cur-riculum for the senior year. Thedidactic phase of the work is giv-en by Dr. Taylor and covers theprinciples of surgery, anaesthet-ics, antiseptics and their uses,bandaging, and post operativetreatment.

In conjunction with the didac-tic, the practical phases are giv-en the student through the me-dium of the Surgical Clinics, ma-jor and minor. which nI. hlI .athe Des Moines General hospital.

The hospital, a 75 bed institu-tion, is one of the most complete-lv equipped in the state. X-ray,Radium, Physio Therapy and anextensive laboratory are featuresof invaluable assistance to thestudent in his clinical work. In-stead of merely knowing, for in-stance, that radium treatment isindicated in this particular case,he can actually see the treatmentadministered and derive knowl-edge from that experience thatfew of the older men in the fieldhave.

At nrv i-e ,4- .^. '/r_ - __ i- P.~cliu atJiues ivioines has apopulation of 150,000, so it can

readily be seen there is no lackof clinical material. Tuesdaysand Saturdays are operative daysfor the clinic patients, the listsof students to report for duty onthat particular day is posted.However, that does not meanthat all others are excluded. Theclinics are always open to ca-pacity to the upper classes, andit may be said that not a clinicday goes by but what the amphi-theatre is filled to overflowing.

In the minor Surgical Clinic,alone, last year, 2561 cases wereoperated. Tonsilectomy circum-cisions and adenectomy com-prised the greater portion of thetotal. As many as 90 patientshave been operated on in one dayat this clinic, and as many asfour surgeons may be seen work-ing at one time. Dr. Taylor isassisted by Drs. J. P. Schwartzand A. B. Taylor of the hospitalstaff. These men are all experi-enced, clean-cut, conservative op-


Senior A Assembly aScream

The recent Senior A class wasgiven a treat in being permittedto "see themselves as others seethem" during the recent stuntday program. Each class had aprominent place on the programand gave the sweet young (?)graduates ample opportunity tolearn their college rating. Per-sonalities were cast to the fourwinds and all known and hiddenattributes of the aforesaid Sen-iors were subjected to the pierc-ing ray of public scrutiny.

The "Killer Kure Klinik," asput on by the Senior B class, por-trayed the activities of the grad-uates twenty years from now.Mugs Fletcher's interpretation ofthe role of office girl was ex-ceedingly good. Louie Miller'simpersonation of Mary Jane Por-ter, a prospective patient, creat-ed an uproar, as did Joe Ko-shack's feminine impersonationof a patient of Dr. Brockmeier.

The Junior Class' thrust camenext, in the form of the new na-tional pastime, that of cross-word puzzling. Some specialgood point or fallacy of eachmember of the graduating classforming the necessary definitionsfor the various ups and downs ofthe game.

The Sophomores took the cakewith numerous verses to the tuneof "It Ain't Goin' to Rain NoMore," depicting varied fauxpas of the honored recipients ofall this talented humor. WalterDamm's impersonation of Dr.George Rastede rendering the"Traumerei" on the stately vio-lin was by far the best on the en-tire program and his occasional_ t. _ _ Z - .- .....

reierence to "Fritz Kreisler andMe" was quite appropriate. The"Enema Scene from the ThirdDay," while slightly out of har-mony with the general trend ofcollege amusesments, was by farthe greatest laugh producer ofthe morning's entertainment.During the various and intimatesteps in the process, the audiencewas thrown into paroxysms ofmirth, and when the final lightwas extinguished, it was someminutes until the gales of laugh-ter subsided to an extent thatthe performance could continue.

The Freshmen A's offered avariation by presenting Kather-ine King's youthful followers ofthe Goddess Terpsichore. The lit-tle tots tripped the light fantas-tic in quite a professional man-ner, and came in for their shareof the applause.

The Freshmen B's gave an ex-cellent showing of State Boardprocedure. Deke Jones enactedthe examiner, and the membersof the class the various, candi-

Suppose fifty new clinics areestablished, we would have justthat many more to add to thenumber Dr. Josephine Peirce hason her record sheets.

Once we prove to the laitythat we are really interested inchildren's welfare, to the extentthat we are willing to sacrificea little time and labor, at leastonce a week, a year, we will havethe parents and teachers back ofus.

We can eliminate curvature,eventually, only by the early de-tection of scoliosis, and correct-ive work while the vertebrae areyet in the process of ossification.

THE NATIONAL LEAGUEFOR THE PREVENTION OFSPINAL CURVATURE is now anational factor, and known every-where as an Osteopathic organi-zation. One object is to reachthe layman, and through themthe chi'dren. The slogan-"EV-ERY CHILD'S SPINE EXAiVM-INED SEMI-ANNUALLY" shouldbe in the mind of all Osteopaths.

Preparations for SPINAL CUR-VATURE WEEK should be start-ed months in advance of THEWEEK. Speakers should be se-lected to visit adjacent citiesand towns, and give popular lec-tures on health subjects, and onthe prevention of scoliosis. Thistakes a bit of time, but it surelymeans much for Osteopathy. Weshould make ourselves more wide-ly known as SPINAL SPECIAL-ISTS, and in what better way canwe do it than through a week ofwork, that will bring press com-ment, at least on the addresses,given by Osteopaths accustomedto speak at conventions and be-fore clubs.

The women of our professionshould be in the lead, and lay-women will work if given achance. Write to that little ma-gician, Dr. E. Clair Jones, inPennsylvania, and he will tell youwhat the laywomen of his townhave done for Osteopathy.

We feel better satisfied withlife when we reach out and helpsomeone. Here is the golden op-portunity to make the most of.one week.

Osteopathii Without Limitation

Drake Relays

There has been considerabletalk around school recently con-cerning entries in the Drake Re-lay Meet from D. M. S. C. 0., andnot without foundation.

With the wealth of materialavailable, Still college should beable to produce at least two re-relay teams that could show aclean pair of heels to anything in+he-college section of this mid-dle west classic.

From another standpoint, if thecollege should enter the meet,the resultant publicity the schoolwould derive would more thancompensate for the additionaloutlay of finance.

As every student knows, thecollege has recently completedone of the greatest football sea-sons in the history of the school.Also, you all realize the vast ex-pense of maintaining and equip-ping a modern football squad.Heretofore, track has not beenincluded in the athletic scheduleof the college, and as a result,the athletic management doesnot, at this time, have fundsavailable for the backing of arelay team.

Plans are under way for theraising of funds to place StillCollege in the Relays, and ev-ery loyal student is expected todo his share. Co-operation onthe part of everyone will put itover! Don't sit back and waitfor the other fellow to do thework. When the plans are an-nunced, give them your heartysupport! Do your share towardsentering a team from Still Col-lege in the Drake Relays!

From the Field

Some time ago an article waspublished inviting the alumniand friends of D. M. S. C. O. towrite in to the Log Book. Now,we want to express our apprecia-tion for your response. Lettersfrom the field, such as we havereceived, prove an asset of un-told value in this work, and it ishoped that they will continue tocome in. Don't hesitate to criti-cize conscientious constructivecriticism is the thing a publica-tion of this nature can receive.

Dr. Spring Entertains

Friday night, January 23, Doc-tor Spring entertained his Symp-tomology class in his home. Awhole evening in Doctor Spring'shome is but as a blink. Cross-word puzzles with the faculty in-volved - limericks foretellinggrave tragedies christening withwonderful names (ask M. Conn)

radio entertainment one goodcanine act by "Peps"-all thesewere instrumental in makingthis party one that will never beforgotten. Really, the only timeeach fellow was quiet was whenhe had his buccal cavity filledwith the sumptuous refresh-ments. Did the gang enjoy them?-foolish question when Still Col-lege is concerned.

We certainly do appreciate Dr.Spring's interest in us, and wefeel we have a friend in him out-side of school as well as in class.After all is said and done, thereis really only one, one honest-to-goodness Dr. Spring.

If I were asked to define sales-manship in one sentence, I wouldsay it was nothing more nor lessthan making the other fellowfeel as you do about the goodsyou have to sell.

Some men move through life asa band of music moves down thethoroughfare flinging out melodyand harmony through the air toeveryone far and near who lis-tens.-Henry Ward Beecher.

Figures Don't Lie

"From the 'land of perpetualsunshine' comes an epistle extra-ordinary over the signature ofthe medical examiner of the Y.W. C. A., of Pasadena, Calif.

"This letter forms a scathingindictment of the present ethi-cal silence of the fraternity, itseems to us, rather than a criti-cism of physicians-it uncovers afault in our ethics rather thana weakness in our methods.

"Alice S. Cutler, M. D., statesthat in her capacity as medicalexaminer of the Y. W. C. A., shehas examined over 1200 womenand girls for gymnasium work,and, being interested in theiroutside medical attendants, sheasked each one of them who theirfamily physicians were. Here isthe list, and as Dr. Cutler says,it surely is a sore reflection onthe medical profession:

772 go to Osteopaths,120 go to Chiropractors,183 go to Christian Scientists,125 go to the regular medical

profession."It doesn't seem possible and

we do not believe that this av-erage obtains throughout thecountry, yet the figures shallstand forever as a flashing, warn-ing signal to materia medica etal."-R. & C. Medical Quarterly.

During the entire performance,the graduating seniors were en-sconced on the very front row,so that they could not miss a sin-gle thing. Judging from the ex-pressions on their faces, theiremotions were varied, but allenjoyed the event to the fullestmeaning of the word. It is need-less to say that they learned ofmany little characteristics thathad heretofore escaped their at-tention.

The under classes are alreadyconcentrating on the present in-cumbents of the Senior A classi-fication, and from all indications,May 22 will be- another red let-ter day in the list of D. M. S. C.O. chapel meetings, minus enemascenes.

If there is a sacrifice of therights and comforts of others init, if there is a stain of dishonoron your stocks and bonds, do notboast of your success, for youhave failed. Making money bydirty work is bad business, gildit how we will.

ALUMNI, ATTENTION!The Alumni Association of Still College are making plans for

a reunion to be held at the Toronto meeting next June. The enter-tainment and program for this meeting will be in charge of R. M.Forrister, G. G. Elliott and W. O. Hillary. It is hoped that all thealumni will make an effort to attend this meeting, as the commit-tee will arrange a very good program, which will be published ina later issue of the Log Book. I am,

"What People Think ofthe Doctors"

(From Literary Digest, Sept. 22,1923)

"Replies were grouped undergeneral heads from 5,719 personsin Chicago, from 1,053 personsout of Chicago-a total of 6,772.From this totatl only 931, or13-5/16 per cent, had never dab-bled in any cult (Note: To theAllopath, all other schools oftherapy are known as "cults").Of 931 with a perfect record, on-ly 384, or 5-11/17 per cent, hadno curiosity about any of saidcults and no intention of experi-menting just a bit with them.

"Of the 5,841 who were direct-ly against the physicians, direct-ly for the other fellow, which isquite a different matter, or whohad at some time or other beeninterested in the other fellow tothe extent of investing money inhis healing methods only 7 percent of them were directly op-posed to the physician on ac-count of some fault of his own;that is, malpractice, either realor imagined, or his failure as anindividual to adapt himself to asituation.

"As I said, we have all classesrepresented here, from day labor-ers to society leaders, with justabout a 50-50 break betweenthose above and those below mid-dle class in property-holding.And we found what to us was arather interesting fact-that thesemi-foreign communities on thewest side of Chicago showed asmaller per cent experimentingwith doubtful healing practicesthan the exclusive Hyde Parkand North Shore residential dis-tricts."-Buda Carroll Keller, inThe Illinois Medical Journal.

Success is usually due to hold-ing on, and failure to letting go.

In addition to the minor sur-gical clinic, in which the studentassists with anesthetics and careof the patient, the major clinicis equally as well supplied withmaterial. And while not actual-ly participating in this work, thestudent is in constant "contact"with each step throughout thecourse of the "op" and obtainsmore firsthand information thancould be derived from hours ofclassroom work.

Operative obstetrics from the0. B. Clinic, such as Caesariansection, version, etc., are also hos-pitalized, and the student againwitnesses and assists in the prac-tical application of his class-room theories.

With the instruction and expe-rience derived from the Depart-ment of Surgery, the graduatingstudent is capable of doing a ma-jor portion of his minor surgery-he can recognize surgical casesimmediately, and is able to se-lect capable men to do his majorsurgical work. He is thoroughlytrained in post operative treat-ment, can readily distinguish be-tween good and bad surgery, andas a result will be more able toretain his patients than the manwith the mediocre training in thisbranch of our work.

From the FieldThe January meeting of the

The position of honor on theprogram of the evening was heldby Dr. T. M. Patrick of Norwalk,Ohio-well known to many in theDes Moines and Kirksvilleschools. Dr. Patrick was for-merly an instructor in D. M. S.C. O., and will be long remem-bered for his thorough workwhile in that capacity.

The topic for the evening was"Problems of Practice," andmade several of the old-timersand more youthful practitionersof this city prick up their ears.No speaker is a success unless hecan make his audience take ex-ception to some of his views, andthis lecture certainly did oeepeverybody awake, to say theleast. Dr. Patrick always bringsa wealth of detail into his sub-ject, and we are indebted to himfor a very sincere and thought-arousing talk. Dr. Patrick, or"Pat," as he is known to his clos-er friends, always carried agoodly supply of so-called sto-ries, and we are happy to reportthat it is still growing.

The Detroit Association is con-gratulating itself upon obtaining:lecturers of the caliber of Dr.Patrick and Dr. Gregg, also aDes Moines man, and have appre-ciated their work tremendously.

Still's CagersInvade "Swedeland"

Coach Frank Sutton's Purpleand White basketball team in-vaded Minnseota late last month,playing two games with the Her-mel. Independents at Austin,Minnesota, Thursday and Friday.January 29 and 30. Both con-tests were dropped to the Goph-er independent five.

Thursday night the Purple andWhite quintet gave the Austin-ites more than a battle, losingby a score of 23 to 18. CoachSutton's team took -an early lead,Smith and Friend scoring beforethe Packing company aggrega-tion registered. Soon afterward,however, the Packers jumped in-to the lead and were never againheaded.

Throughout the contest theAustin players were baffled byCoach Sutton's five-man defense.They.found it impossible to pen-etrate the local defense andmade- many of their hoopersfront beyond the free-throw line.The 'contest was close through-out and only in the final minu-tes of play did the Minnesotansdraw away to a lead that finallyclinched the victory.

The second game was the re-verse of the opening battle-thePurple -and- White five goingdown to a 38-16 defeat. In spiteof the -one-sided score and notdetracting from the fact thatthe win was well-earned. it mustbe said that during this contest,the Packers "were hot" as faras basket work was concerned.

In fact the Austin playersseemed unable to miss any shots.Regardless of the position orangle on the court, when aPacker shot in the general di-rection of the hoop, the ball de-scended through for a brace ofpoints. Still, on the other handaJso took numerous shots butLady Luck was absent on manyof these heaves and the resultof the contest was never in anydoubt from the middle of thefirst half until the final whistle.

The Purple and White teamwas extended a most cordialwelcome by the followers of theAustin team. In addition itmust be said that the membersof the Packer aggregation con-ducted themselves as true sports-men both on and off the floor.Dr; Tom Van de Grift, alumnusof the Still College of Osteopa-thy, was also very instrumentalin providing enjoyable enter-tainment for the members ofCoach Sutton's quintet.

Dean Johnson is going to bepresent !and give us one of hisright-to-the-point talks.

Why not make it an inter-fra-ternity contest, and see whichorganization can have the great-est number of men out?

Remember the time and place.Drake :University auditorium,March' 8th, at nine-thirty A. M.·

Let's go!

The students, as well as theOsteopathic profession as awhole, have been glad to note themarked improvement in the lab-oratories of the Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy this year.This work, 'we feel, has beenplaced in competent hands whohave been reorganizing the workinto orderly routine proceduresaccording to the latest and bestapproved laboratory methods. For'this work, we must particularlycommend the following instruc-tors:

Dr. Lola Taylor, GynecologyLaboratory.

Dr. G. E. Hurt, Head of Chem-istry, Bacteriology and Pathol-ogy laboratories.

Dr. J. M. Woods, Head of Ana-tomical laboratory and instruc-tor of Anatomy for the past fiveyears at D. M. S. C. 0.

Dr. Honsinger, Instructor ofLaboratory Diagnosis and Labora-tory Technician at the DesMoines General Hospital.

L. B. Hurt, Laboratory Assist-ant.

We cannot be amazed at theresults if we but stop to con-sider that these instructors havemade this branch of the worktheir specialty, and some of them,their life's work, but we can feelourselves fortunate in being ableto secure this class of instruc-tion.

The best testimony offered asan appreciation of this workcame about recently when thestudents of Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy placed .asingle order for $1000.00 worthof laboratory equipment to bet-ter facilitate their work and asan embryonic start for a futurelaboratory when they have estab-lished themselves in practice.

The school has also purchased[several thousand dollars' worthof new equipment, consisting of-latest model Spencer micro--scopes, glassware, and other lab-oratory essentials. Altogether:we would say there was "some""improvement.

The addition of a Senior Lab-oratory has proven 'tobe a very"gratifying experiment. This neat,.compact little laboratory, com-plete in every detail, was de-vised .so that the senior studentgof D. M. . C. 0. could assist ma-terially in diagnosis of clinicalcases by performing the neces-sary routine · procedures, and torelieve congestion 'in the under-class laboratories by.. making itunnecessary for the-senior stu-dents to use their' equipment.

HOPE

Hope is the bridge that car-ries us over. Over all the trials,tribulations, tedious spots andsetbacks that are prone to litterthe onward paths of us humans.

Hope is that ever impelling;incessantly urging; constantlycalling; 'never faltering cause ofcauses. which lifts us out of: thedepths' of. dejection and despair;which again forces us on, away,away on the route toward thegoal of our desires.

Hope is the shimmering, shin-ing, guiding light, ever gleamingfaithfully through the dark,dank night coaxing us to ventureout in new ways, with newmeans; offering new courage tocapably. cope with the loweringclouds that seem about to swal-low us' in our pitiful plights.. :

It. carries courage, :'-.dispelsgloom; routs doubt; ren'ews. a.:de-sire to live; revamps'ende:avorenthusiasm and tenaciity'.'

Hope defies all precedent. Itremoves fear. It knows- no :obstacle. It brooks no defeat.:.: .:;:,:

Hope animates-rejuvenat es.It perpetually prods us into posi-tion. It beats down the barriers.It beckons unti lwe' enter endur-ing eternity.

When misfortune changes ourcourse, hope sets us: aright. Thehopeful hearttransforms troubleinto triumphs.

Hope is our only hope.,

Start Them Right

Elizabeth Ann, age 23 month,had a slight cold. One eveningrecently -after having finishedher prayer, she asked her moth-er, "What do I say now?"

"I should ask Jesus to makeyour cold better," was her moth-er's suggestion.

Elizabeth Ann thought a mo-ment and then came back withthis, "I guess I'll ask Dr. JesssieJohnson" (her osteopath).

We would say that is well di-rected training, also a truly finecompliment to the Doctor.

Ford's Surgeon-in-ChiefBoosts Osteopathy

Dr. McClure, surgeon-in-chiefof Henry Ford's Detroit, Michi-gan, hospital, while addressing agroup of Des Moines medical men.emphasized the need of the av-er.age practitioner to pay atten-tion to all ills. rather than letthose of minor injury pass by.

In making his point he citedthe case of a man who had suf-fered from pain in his back foia number of years and who hacreceived no relief from his med-ical physician. As a last resortthe patient turned to Osteopathyultimately securing the relief hewas searching for, thereby, Dr.

iMcClure stated, dethroning med-icine and crowning Osteopathy.

According to his reasoning itwould be infinitely better for theM. D.'s to endeavor to assimilatesome of the knowledge of theother systems of healing andbring it into their own field&-ather than knock the "competi-

tor." He also mentioned that forseveral years some of the largerschools, as Harvard and JohnsHopkins, as having taught Me-chano-Therapy as a major sub-ject. Showing the realization ofthe merits of Osteopathy and theendeavor to protect themselvesby the incorporation of it withtheir medical principles.

The program planned will besecond only to the national meet-ing to be held later in the sum-mer at Toronto. In fact, a num-ber of the men appearing in DesMoines will occupy prominentpositions on the A. 0. A. pro-gram.

Coming as it does, on the lastdays of school, the meeting willafford the students an exception-al opportunity to convince thevisiting D. O.'s of the sterling-qualities of D. M. S. C. 0. Ap-proximately 800 are expected toattend the convention.

Dr. Alva Taylor, well knownsociologist and welfare worker,was the speaker at the specialassembly last Thursday morning.His work being the advancementof closer relationship betweenevery-day life and the applica-tion of elementary godliness andfundamental righteousness.

The past week was set aside as"Religious Emphasis Week" forthe purpose of bringing beforethe city, through the schools andchurches, the connection or rela-tion of every-day problems withreligion.

Dr. Taylor spoke of the rapidadvance of civilization and theadjustments that must be madeto cope with the situations aris-ing. "The application of the TenCommandments itself is notenough-we must look fartherthan self. We must articulateour personal piety in a generalrelationship to the surroundingenvironment," according to Dr.Taylor. Numerous examples ofthe places where such an appli-cation could be made were cited,among which were our banks andChild Labor problems.

He pointed out a number offactors that are a fundamentalnecessity to good living that thepeople need, such as justice,democracy, equality, representa-tive thought and fraternalismwhich are constantly being bro-ken by the disregard of the mon-ey makers.

In closing, Dr. Taylor statedthat "to be .a Christian - manmust be right with his fellowmen and that the outstandingneed was not money, but techni-cians to readjust the social andpolitical customs of the present;time. These practice to cure ill,not to collect bills."

The Doctors are takin'good care of me but I aint hadnothing the matter with me yet.They told me some good advicenot to get the ruf of my mouthsunburned cause if I did I mightget run over. I don't see whythat could be. But I am beingcareful and taking their knowl-ege. I got to have another dol-lar for a freshman hat one of theboys that is a sophmor said heneeded it for his room. I guessthey have to use them in therwork. All of the doctors smokein the school. I asked why anthey said it was to kill the smellin the dissecting place. Theymust be dissecting all over thebuilding. Most of the doctorscome to school at 8 o'clock, butsome of them don't come untiltime for the roll to be called.Some of them show much intel-ligence in thet way they aremost always ther when rol iscalled. Most of the doctors workat night at least I think they dobecam se they are always sleepyin the c'ay time. I got a job formy meals I work a hour for eachone. I dont get all I want toeat but when i get my stand-inwith the cook I will.

It sure made me feellike I was gettin right along.Well i tol you bout enuf for thistime I aint gonna seal this let-ter cause i only gott.a lc stampfor the postage.

From the Field

Rumor has it that Dr. W. J.Laird, '24, of Detroit, Michigan,

.was married to an unknown par-ty Wednesday, February 25-we're patiently awaiting verifi-cation.

An interesting letter was re-ceived from Dr. John Rogers, '24,who is now practicing in Osh-kosh, Wisconsin.

Dr. J. R. McMillen, of TwinFalls, Idaho, writes that there isan excellent opportunity for agood Osteopath in that city. Any-one intersted may write to theDoctor direct.

In the last analysis there areonly two possible doctrines, orphilosophies, as to the nature ofthis mighty universe. The oneholds it to be alive and the otherholds it to be dead.

modore, as he now puts in everyevening as desk clerk at theCommodore hotel.

"Gay" Howland has been calledto Story City, Iowa, owing to thedeath of his father. The frater-nity offers Brother Howland itsheartfelt sympathy in his be-reavement.

Steingrabe - is surely welltrained and house-broke, 'causehis wife's leaving the city hasnot kept him from staying innights.

iNicholas found the baskets atLameni hypertrophied to amarked degree. Something iswrong when one man gets ninebaskets in a single basketballgame.

Brother Montgomery has cer-tainly had his hands full duringthe past two weeks. He has beenon every reception committee(O. B.) since Gay has been outof the city.

Spencer received a special de-livery New Year's card fromBrother MacDonald of Kirksville,on Washington's birthday. Surelike old iac to be so prompt.

Homer Thomas, Spencer andMicWilliams have the latest in:pring styles in line of cervicaladornment. They may be seenwealing a flowing red tie, whichis the result of pooling theirsavings.

Atlas ClubDr. J. L. Schwartz gave the

boxs a talk Thursday evening,February 12th. His pointerswere mainly on the subject oftechnique. Everyone presentwent away with something more'up his sleeve," and we hope tohave Dr. "Joe" with us again.

Bro. Syphling has given up theAugustan suite at the Savery andmoved to the college dormitory.

Dr. Halladay is back after afew cays' confinement, and willbe the lecturer Thursday, Febru-ary 26th. We don't know hissubject, but it will be good, any-how.

Someone told Brother Nelsonthat the grass over the fencewas better, so he went to Amesto get a girl for the MasonicDance. We don't know about thegrass, but Nels says its the ber-ries concerning the girls.

Brother Shannon was back athis old trade a couple of weeksago and held clinic in the Ortho-pedic class. Some artistic footcasts were made and explained.

Humphrey, Sophomore A, hasbeen pledged to Xiphoid Chap-ter. We welcome him, and Dr.Steffen has prescribed a shred-ded wheat diet for the goat.

Iota Tau SigmaThe spirit of playfulness has

again permeated the atmosphereat 2007 Grand, with the resultthat when some of the Brothersreturned home from courtin' the

other night they found theirsleeping accommodations in vari-ous and sundry positions andplaces. Kangaroo Kourt fol-lowed, which brought out somenew methods of swearing. Imag-ine taking the oath before thesolemn Judge Utterback andmaking the response. "I betcha."

Handsome Tiny Benien, augustchairman of the house commit-tee, was presented with a beau-tiful, glowing bow tie as a Valen-tine gift from his Fairy Queen.(Willie Russell has to tie it forhim.)

Dr. Verge Halladay gave theBrothers a very interesting andinstructive talk after chaptermeeting February 23. His sub-ject was Andrew Taylor Still,and Osteopathy. Many intimatepoints in the life of the found-er of our science and in the his-tory of Osteopathy were broughtforth to the edification of theBrothers. Especially those pointsrelative to Bill Smith's monthlytrips to Chicago in connectionwith dissection material.

Punk Marlow is the originalhard luck king. Broke off a toothsprained an ankle, had an attackof appendicitis, accused of being"tight" (not financially, spiritu-ally) by his girl, and recovered-all in two days. Beat that if youcan.

The freshmen put on a tubbingparty the other night for thebenefit of "Love-sick" Nye. Re-sult was reactionary, and every-one involved experienced theshock of cooling waters.

Puss Richardson is a staunchsupporter of our friend Omar!thayam. As far as the "loaf ofbread, a jug of wine and Thou"goes, Puss starts out each eve-ning with the "toute ensemble,"but substitutes a glass of jellyfor the jug of wine.

It is rumored 'round the housethat Deke Jones is developingquite a practice.

The chapter extends its deep-est sympathy to Gay Howland,P. S. G. house, in his recent be-reavement.

Dissection Room Notes

Dissection has started withfull force.

A. E. Smith's green apron is anoutstanding feature.

The police were up to take fin-ger prints of Gates, the world'schampion high diver. Everyonehad their rubber gloves on, sothey didn't get anything on us.

Cadaver No. 5 has been namedAdalyah in memory of A. P.Warthman. They are both mo-tionless. Warthman came to dis-section the first day and tried totell the old timers how to scrubthe subiect and cut him. Serveshim right.

There is a language of actionas well as a language of words;and of the two the language ofaction is more telling, the moreintelligible, the more unmistak-able, and in the deepest sensethe more eloquent. Some of theprofoundest truths ever revealedto mankind have been conveyedthrough the language of action.

A Month or So AgoSlim: "Oh, I wish the Lord

had made me a man."Doyle (bashfully): "He did.

I'm the man."

Mistress: "You will lave a veryeasy time of it here. We have nochildren."

Mandy: "Don't restrict yo' se'fon mah account, ma'am, bekaseI'se very fond of children, I is."

George and Len Hurt had beenunsuccessfully duck hunting fortwo days when George suddenlyspied a mallard taking wingabout twenty feet away. Becom-ing excited, George threw hisgun to his shoulder as Len cried:

"Hey, don't shoot. That gunisn't loaded."

George: "Can't help it. Thebird won't wait."

A Permanent Guest"I have a new baby brother.""Is he going to stay?""I think so. He's got all his

things off."

Senior (on the event of hisfirst attendance at Saturday clin-ic): "Are you the trained nurse?"

T. N.: "Yes."S.: "Well then, let's see some

of your tricks.

Her Shift Off"I hear you are working in a

factory.""That's right.""What do you make?""Shirts."'Then why aren't you working

you at work?""Well, you know I work at a

domino manufacturing plant. Ipaint on the spots."

"Yes?""Uhuh. They're making blanks

A young doctor in a countrydistrict was called one night tohis first case. The patient wasthe farmer's son, who was lyingon the bed in much pain.

"EDDY-ISM"V

During Sherwood Eddy's recenttalk in assembly, the idea oc-curred to me of the excellentadaptation that might be madeof his formula for "Personal Ex-amination" right here in our owncollege. Not from the samestandpoint Mr. Eddy took, to besure, but from the standpoint ofour personal relations to, andideas concerning our chosen pro-fession.

To work out the idea-"Arewehonest?" Not in the sense of in-trinsic honesty, as thought of inconnection with dollars andcents, but the type of honestythat causes us to admit the lackof conviction in regard to differ-ent points in our science. AreYOU honest? Do you admit thatthere are certain phases of, andtheories concerning, Osteopathythat you are not completely "soldon;" or do you go blatantly onyour way telling the world thatOsteopathy is the greatest sci-ence under the sun? Are youhonest? Are you square withyour competitors from other sys-tems of therapy? Do you admitand recognize their merits or areyou out with your hammer belit-tling their efforts because of alack of co-ordination with yourbeliefs? Are you honest?

"Are you Clean?" Not in thesense of soap and water cleanli-ness, but a mental cleanlinessthat completes your equipage toattend the ushering In, and Out,of Life? Are you making themost of your opportunities or areyou sloughing over some of theapparently less important phasesof our work with the thought ofputting it off till some laterdate? Are there any cob-webs inyour mental storehouse? Sooneror later you will be confrontedwith this problem-it will beyour test of cleanliness-"Can Icope with this problem, save thislife; or had I better turn thecase over to Dr. X?" The CLEANman will recognize his positionat once and will act accordingly,and incidentally will never beconfronted with such a problemagain, while the UN-Clean willbe tempted to take the chance,to overlook his shortcomings, willbe prone to slip around andevade the issue, regardless of theoutcome, only to have it bob upin front of him every day there-after. Are you Clean?

"Are we Dead in Earnest?"Are you dead in earnest in yourstudy and practice of your cho-sen profession or are you onlylukewarm? Are you in deadearnest to the extent that youare willing to dedicate your lifeto the care of your fellow-men,forsaking all thought of materialgain-dead in earnest in your

Don't Be a Knocker

If there is any practice in theworld that will rebound againstits propagator it is that of"knocking." There is every de-gree of truth in the old adage,"Every knock is a boost." Re-member that "knocking" is oneof the factors that has placed os-teopathy on the pedestal whereit stands today.

I have heard many osteopaths"knock" chiropractors unmerci-fully, and I know that humannature is so constituted, so con-trary, as it were, that everytime a "knock" is handed outagainst the chiropractors, theirstrength is increased to a certaindegree. The "dopsters" knockedus and have lost ground by so do-ing. Isn't there a lesson here forus to learn? I believe there is,and I think that, after carefulconsideration, thinking osteo-paths will agree with me.

On many occasions I have beenasked by patients outright, ortheir statements have impliedthe request for a differentiationbetween osteopathy and chiro-practic. I have not "knocked"the system. On the other hand,I have stated that, under skill-ful hands, chiropractic has ac-complished many good resultsand I have even gone so far as toquote some of these results.

This may be called heresy bysome of my brother osteopaths,but, after agreeing that chiro-practic has done good work andwill continue to tdo good work, Iclearly and forcefully present myclinching statement relative toosteopathy, quoting one of thebest chiropractors in the countryas my authority.

In discussing the merits of os-teopathy and chiropractic withthis practitioner of the latterschool, I asked him: "In youropinion can osteopathy do allthat chiropractic can accom-plish?" His answer was, "Yes, itcan." Then I asked him if thereverse iis true, namely that chi-ropractic can do all that osteop-athy can accomplish. This manwas truthful enough to answer inthe negative. If you were a lay-man, wouldn't such a statementbear weight with you? I think itwould.

Another point of explanation,without the element of "knock-ing," is that the standards of ed-

conviction that Osteopathy is thepeer of all systems of Healing-dead in earnest in the donationof your energy and ability to thefurtherance and development ofOsteopathy-OR-did you chooseOsteopathy as a means to an endof affluence with reservations asto time and extent of service tobe rendered-wavering in yourconvictions and only too willingto let the other fellow do thework while you bask in the sun-light resultant from his labors?Are you dead in Earnest?

Andrew T. Still, and the menwho have placed our professionin its present enviable positionand who are continuing the pro-gressive work today, have allmade this "Personal Examina-tion" early in their careers anddid not find themselves wanting

CAN YOU?

ucation for chiropractic are noton a par with those of osteopathyand, in this connection, it wouldbe well to drive home the factthat osteopathy iss on a par withthe standards of the "old school"in regard to education. Osteo-paths are necessarily skilled phy-sicians in all that the term im-plies. You know it. I know it,and every person who has hadosteopathic treatment knows it.Impress on your prospective pa-tients that osteopathy requiresfour years of study with ninemonths to the year, while medi-cine requires four years also, butwith eight months to the year.

Osteopathy has won its place inthe arts of healing by merit asthe prime factor, and by the"knocking" of its enemies as an-other strong factor.

Don't tell patients that chiro-practic is "bastard osteopathy."Try to acquaint yourselves withchiropractic, and then, withoutthe element of "knocking" enter-ing into the discussion, show the,difference between the twoschools and let the patient choosefor himself which he would con-sider the better system.

In conclusion, let me reiterate,"Every knock is a boost," sodon't boost chiropractic.

Intense anxiety was spreadover the Belgrade communityearly last Friday morning overthe sudden and serious illness ofDr. H. N. Hartung, who wasstricken with paralysis due tocerebral abcess. Several weeksago Dr. Hartung Suffered aslight stroke, but recovered rap-idly, and it was thought by ev-eryone that he was almost com-pletely recovered from the ef-fects, as he was up and aboutwith his usual good nature anda smile for everyone. He resumedhis practice, responding to callsand attending to office work.

Feeling indisposed Thursdayevening, the doctor engaged aroom at the Electric hotel andretired early. Some time dur-ing the night he was stricken,and was found in an unconsciouscondition Friday morning byMrs. J. A. Bessette, owner of thehostelry.

Friends hastily conveyed himto the Deaconess hospital, whereeverything possible was done forhim, while good friends keptconstant vigil at his bedside. Henever regained consciousness, andpassed away at 9:45 Friday eve-ning, February 6.

It can truly be said of Dr.Hartung that he possessed abeautiful, rich life, a lovablecharacter and a high standard ofintegrity. He was a kind hus-band, and his little children werethe pride of his life. Often wehave seen him on the streets ofBelgrade, the companion of hislittle kiddie, the very soul of hislife.-Belgrade Journal.

The faculty and student bodyof D. M. S. C. 0. extend theirdeepest sympathy to Mrs. Har-tung and two kiddies in theirhour of sorrow.

The Lamp of Aladdin

W. E. FarbsteinYou've heard of Aladdin, the

fortunate lad, who the magicallamp of the genii had. Somefriction applied to the base ofthe same, and he got any wishthat he troubled to name. A ban-quet complete, or a bangle ofpearl, a palace of gold or a beau-tiful girl, a bushel of jewels, theegg of a roc-all it required wassome friction and talk.

If ever I find such a lamp, thenindeed, for banquets and jewelsI never will plead-or beautifulmaiden or fabulous wealth. ButI'll wish for a superabundance ofhealth. But as chances for find-ing such lamps are not strong,my wish's fulfillment I'll hurryalong by living correctly, evad-ing ill's wrath, and visiting oftenmy Osteopath.

Life and immortality, notdeath and mechanism, are thekeywords of the real universe,and so far as you and I are truesons of the universe, so far aswe reproduce its nature in our-selves, life and immortality arethe keywords to our reality also.

The First "Op"

In January, 1474, the church-yard of St. Severin, Paris, wasthe scene of one of the first sur-gical operations done in France.At that time the physicians rep-resented to Louis XI that as per-sons of consideration were thensuffering from stone and otherinternal maladies, it would be ofgreat benefit if in order to tracethe disease and discover a cure,the said physicians and surgeonswere permitted to operate on aliving man. The request wasgranted and the prisons weresearched, until an archer wasfound suffering from the re-quired malady, and condemned tobe hanged for theft, as well. Hewas taken to the churchyard, and,with a flat tombstone for an op-erating table, amid a large con-course of people, the surgeonsset to work. Contrary to theirexpectations, the patient not on-ly survived, but was pronouncedcured in fifteen days' time. Inconsideration of the service hewas pardoned.-Medical Journaland Record.

Growing ChildrenThey need two kinds of food;

one for growth and one for en-ergy.

The first essential is milk, be-cause it is a complete mineralration with the exception of iron.It supplies casien in associationwith calcium and phosphorus.

Bread is another. It containsprotein reinforced by milk pow-der now used by bakers.

Sugar is another. The cravingof a child for sweets is natural.It shields the proteins.

Fats are the coal in your bin.They furnish energy and heat,and may be drawn on for nerveand brain cell repair. Fats burnonly when a certain amount ofsugar is burning.

Gel-atine (Knox) is an elegantenergy food, containing lysine es--sential to growth.

The tomato is supposed to con-tain all the vitamines.

The muscles of the under-nour-ished child lose their protein, itbeing replaced by water. The un-der-nourished child is usuallypermanently marked. It mayfill out, but it never possessesthe sturdy look of the normalchild.

from the Still College of Osteop-athy at Des Moines, Iowa, and aGallatin valley citizen, purchasedthe office fixtures of the late Dr.H. N. Hartung, Tuesday, and be-gan the practice of his professionTuesday morning.

Mr. Crew, who was born andreared in the Salesville commun-ity, needs no introduction tomany in this community, whohave known him many years. Heis highly recommended as a manof sterling worth and integrity,and the people of the communitywelcome him.-Belgrade Journal.

DISEASEDisease, the inevitable penalty

for violation of the law of na-ture, stalks through the landblighting the life of every mem-ber of the race. It marks withthe stain and sin of deficiency,young .and old alike.

And yet disease is not an en-tity, not a thing, but a lack, anda deficiency. It is nothing butthe forbidding hideousness of de-nied function, perverted, distort-ed, distraught.

Plans Made forStill Year Book

At a meeting of the Seniors Aand B and Juniors A and Bclasses following Assembly onFebruary 27th, plans were for-mulated for the promoting of aYear Book for Des Moines StillCollege for the current year, andcommittees were appointed bythe pressidents of the respectiveclasses represented, to meet-withDr. J. P. Schwartz and completeplans and submit same to thestudent body.

As a result, this committee ofstudents, with Dr. J. P. Schwartzas chairman, obtained bids fromthe different printing companiesof the city, and estimated asclosely as possible the cost ofsuch a publication as desired, andreported back to the studentbody at assembly on March 6.

Short talks were made by stu-dents and alumni relative to thevalue of a year book to the col-lege and to the profession in gen-eral. A general air of optimismon the part of everyone was no-ticeable, and the response to theappeal for subscriptions was veryencouraging, nearly the requirednumber of subscriptions to makethe book a financial success beingreceived from the first appeal.

D. M. S. C. O. is in a positionto put out a very attractive andimposing year book thiis year, forits victories on football field andbasketball floor have been note-worthy events, and with its pres-ent faculty and facilities for Os-teopathic instruction, it hasenough material to compose abook that will appeal to everyOsteopath, regardless of his col-lege affiliations, and to prospect-ive students a"s well',- -togetherwith being a reminder to thealumni of D. M. S. C. 0. thattheir Alma Mater is up and com-ing.

While an editorial staff has notbeen chosen as yet, the name ofthe publication will most likelybe "The Stillonian," and un-der such caption, will be the sec-ond such put out by D .M . C.O., the first having been pub-lished in 1921.

On another page. of .this issueof the Log Book will be found asubscription coupon for the useof Alumni and all other Osteo-paths in the field. ,The studentbody looks forward to a heartyresponse from the field, in orderto make this year'book .a finan-cial success and so insure itspublication in future years.:

."Protection, not Detection,"was the subject chosen by MIr. H.J. Passno, head of the Iowa StateBureau of Identification, in a re-cent address in chapel. This wasone of th most interesting' andinstructive lectures that has beengiven in chapel this year, and toshow hhe appreciation of.the stu-dent body, Mr. Passno was invit-ed to return in two weeks andgive more of a detailed insightinto the marvelous workings ofhis department.

"Jazz" Hoffman IsSweet Papa Now

Dr. "Jazz" Hoffman, Senior A,is the proud father of an eight-pound girl, born March 1st at 7p. m. The young lady answersto the name of lMary Betty, andis fully equipped with black hairand blue' eyes, according to theDoctor. Congratulations, Jazz!"

The deepest truths of the uni-verse are acted rather than spo-ken.- What impresses me is thedeep silence of the universe,coupled with its unimaginableactivity.

D. M. S. C. 0. BreaksAnother Record

Another feather was added tothe already heavily plumed hatof D. M. S. C. 0. when the stu-dent body turned out en massefor Still College Day, sponsoredby the Big Brothers Club ofDrake University.

Dean Johnson was the princi-pal speaker of the morning, andthe student body was more thanelated to demonstrate to the cityand to the Drake student bodythe high type of men that are atthe head of our school and pro-fession is. The subject chosen bythe Dean was "Justice," ,and al-though limited as to time, suc-ceeded in putting over somepoints that made the entiregroup think a bit.

Immediately preceding theDean's address, the devotionalservices were held, under the di-rection of Jack Voss, 26. Sen-tence prayers were given by A.E. Smith, Harold Belf, Van Ness,and a Drake student. Jim Coch-ran, '25, was in charge of the mu-sic, and Ross Richardson, '27, con-ducted the program.

To stimulate interest, a friend-ly contest was staged betweenthe three fraternities on the ba-sis of 100% on time attendance,the winner to receive a beautifulpurple and white banner, whichwas displayed in chapel the pre-ceding Friday morning. All threeorganizations turned out so near100 per cent as was physicallypossible, that it is thought threebanners will have to be presented.

That is -- the wa-y thle studentbody of D.. M S. :C. 0. backs-their school, .and it is a true indi-cation: of the "STILL SPIRIT."When you are able to rout be-tween one hundred and fifty andtwo hundred college students outof bed, and have them at churchby 9:30, you've accomplished anoteworthy task.

Junior-Senior PromGoes Over Big

The first Junior-Senior Promiwas held Thursday eveninig' atthe Grant Club and. was One ofthe best parties of the year. :Considerable interest was manifestedthroughout the school in the "af-fair, and a- one hundred per; centattendance by both ..classes putthe party over in fine shape.

From the Field

Dr. A: E. Gibson, 528 BradburyBldg., Los Angeles, Calif., advisesus that he is contemplating clos-ing his practice, twenty yearsstanding, in order that he mighttravel. Anyone interested maywrite the Doctor direct, or theLot; Book.

A very highly complimentaryletter was received from Dr. L.S. Keyes, of Minneapolis. Thefeature of the Doctor's letterthat pleased us most was a direc-tory of Minnesota Osteopaths, inwhich all corrections of addresshad been noted. It will sure helpto get our mailing lists straight-ened out. As a Doctor seldomthinks to advise us of a changeof address or a move from townto town, we would appreciate re-ceiving any information relativeto change of address, etc., at anytime.

Dr. C. C. Wedel, Wintenset,was in the city last Saturday andvisited some of the boys. Jakesays practice is sure going fine.

Dr. Mike Prather was at as-sembly last Friday in the inter-est of the Cardiograph of 1925.Mike edited the issue publishedin '21.

On February 26, Dr. Virg. Hal-laday gave a most interestinghistory of Dr. A. T. Still and hisstruggle to put Osteopathy on asecure footing. He took usthrough the periods covering the"Old Doctor's" first conceptionof our science up to the presentday. After hearing of the verynumerous methods resorted to inobtaining dissection material,our university should encounterno obstacles in orocuring same.

H. J. Brown and Frank Irwinhave demitted from Axis to Xi-phoid Chapter. We welcome thebrothers to our chapter.

Durard Wire of Columbus,Montana, G. A. Dutt of Portland,Oregon, and I. E. Shaeffer ofGrove City, Pennsylvania, havebeen added to the pledges of Xi-phoid Chapter. Welcome, boys,and keep Friday, March 20, openfor our pledge dance.

Bro. Damm is now selling gon-oscopes. One order has been tak-en already.

Bro. Woofenden is now in ca-hoots with the oil syndicate. Hehas accepted and now holds a po-sition (same one most of thetime, centering on the ischialtuberosity) as manager of the oildispensary at 10th and High.Woof wishes to announce that heis on duty from 4 p. m. to 9 p.m., and requests all friends andrelatives to please get their gasbefore 4 p. m. or go Ianywhereelse, as it breaks up his siesta.He. wore out the gluteal regionsof two suits tile first week.

Xiphoid Chapter extends itssincere sympathy to J. Howlandin his recent bereavement.

Bro. Warthm-an has secured anew position for his wife. Ourbrother is very fond of his wife,and tries to make it as easy aspossible for her to work his waythrough college. We think thatis Baloney as he can be seen al-most any time trying to get thegirls to have the Mirs. marcelltheir hair. Some one must havetold him that to become a suc-cessful Osteopath he must beable to sell his services, so he ispracticing on his wife.

Phi Sigma GammaThe lecture given by Dr. A. B.

Taylor on work night was wellattended and the brothers re-ceived much valuable informa-tion and practice in applying va-rious types of bandages. A regu-lar smoker followed, and musicand cards provided entertainmentfor the remainder of the eve-ning.

The brothers are all greatlyconcerned in Joe Rader and hisFord. It's a regular cross wordto know whether he's a junk deal-er or a mechanic.

Scatterday's recent expression,"Oh, balls!" originated in the bil-liard room of the Grant Club,where he tends tables.

We understand an effort is be-ing made to get green covers forthe tables in the restaurant, sohe will feel more at ease whileeating his beans.

The house is quiet now onlywhen McWilliams is in school orworking.

If Olive won't let Weir getmore sleep, we suggest that helearn to sleep faster, so he cankeep awake in class.

Could you imagine:Roy Davis bald-headed;Leland Spencer being serious;McFall being real tall,Weir aiding charity;Homer Sprague without a

We can't.The little village of Lorain,

Ohio is quite awake these days.According to reports of some ofour brothers from that city, oneday .a short time ago the nightwatchman of the postoffice whilecleaning aa gun shot a child, androbbers robbed the postoffice anda train killed the robbers. This,according to Joe Rader, is anevery-day occurrence there.

Geo. Chritchritch, captain ofthe Grinnell football team, hasbeen a visitor at the chapterhouse this past week -as guest ofMax Friend.

Everett Johnson, leader of theChicago Cadet Band, has beenspending leisure hours at thehouse during his stay in DesMoines, as guest of Bro. McWil-liams. He has proven a royal en-tertainer, and we are lookingforward to the time when heplays a return engagement.

The PSG's have been knockingthe sox off Drake fraternities inattendance contests at the Uni-versity church. Kinda showingthe Drake boys what Still collegespirit is, and what fraternityspirit is within said institution.

Manny Strand, formerly of theOrpheum circuit, has been givingthe boys a real treat in form ofpiano solos. He is also a guestand ne.aar relatve of McWilliams.We hope to hear him in assem-bly soon.

Iota Tau SigmaBrother Earl Shaw was host at

'n "Appendecteal Party" at theDes iVoines General last week,with Dr. Pinkie Schwartz offici-qting. Approximately fifteen ofthe brothers attended the func-tion and, though .-some wereforced to leave early, a goodtime was enjoyed by all. Thechapter feels greatly indebted toBrother Shaw for the whole-hearted manner in which he gavehimself and his valuable timethat the brothers might becomebetter and more efficient Osteo-paths. Earl is coming along fine,as would be expected consider-ing the care he is receiving, andwe are all looking forward tohaving him back in the housewithin the next few days.

Beta chapter, Iota Tau Sigma,wishes to take this opportunityto announce the pledging of Mr.Watson E. Haviis of Ohio and Mr.MacFarlan of Des Moines. Wel-come to the fold, boys.

Brother Reginald Platt, Alphachapter, was formally affiliatedwith Beta chapter, Monday eve-ning, March 2nd.

Beta turned out 100% for theannual Still College Day at theBig Brothers Club of the Univer-sity Christian church. We feelthat this is quite an accomplish-

Dissection NotesReggie Platt has discovered

the original cigarette stand-heuses the cadaver's mouth so noone will swipe the butts on him.,

A. E. Smith has to admit he isnot the shining light in his greenapron since Warthman showed upwith a very bright red one. Aleather medal will be given toanyone who can beat bright red.Contest closes when all cadaversare skinned.

Bro. Gates, cadaver No. 6, stillgets quite a bit of publicity. Twowomen were in to see him, butdidn't know him. Punk Marlowwashed his face, but it didn'thelp any. (The cadaver's face.)The police were up and sawed offgates' finger tips to be sent toWashington for comparison with.army records. The boys no.w de-mand a partial refund of feespaid for dissection material-which is O. K. Stick up for yourrights, boys, but cut fast, beforehe is wholly identified.

The seniors who have volun-teered for prosecting are greatlyappreciated. There is a big de-mand for more who can remindthe students of details whichwent by unnoticed in anatomystudies.

Osteopathic Crusadeof Wide Importance

The world wide importance ofthe "Triple Purpose OsteopathicCrusade," to take place immedi-ately following the A. O. A. con-vention at Toronto in July, is theemphasized point in a recentfolder published by Dr. HubertPocock, chairman of the tourcommittee, of Toronto.

The complete tour of Europewill start from Toronto July 13,the day following the close ofthe convention, and will end Aug-ust 29. The three great objectsof the tour are, "the carryingabroad of the torch of the teach-ing of Osteopathy, profit by ob-servation of the best Europeanpractice, and the pleasure derivedfrom a wonderfully complete tourof Europe.

The party will leave Torontoby rail for Montreal, where itwill embark on the S. S. Meta-gama for Glasgow, Scotland. Theitinerary includes ample time forthe visiting of points of historicand classic interest en routethrough Scotland and England toLondon, where the week of July30th and August 8th will be spentin sightseeing and attendingclinics. Following London, elev-en days will be spent in Parisand important cities of France,interspersed with side trips tothe battlefields and other pointsof interest.

Every Osteopath and studentwho can possibly do so shouldembrace this opportunity. It isextremely doubtful if such a pro-gram will ever -again be duplicat-ed, especially at this price. As-Doctor Pocock says " it will pro-vide a maximum of satisfaction,instruction, recreation and pleas-ure at a minimum of expense-an ideal trip for Osteopathic phy-sicians who desire to see the bestknown clinics of London andParis."

Faculty Wise Cracks

Dean Johnson calmly remarks"You con't make a whistle out ofa pig's tail."

John Woods dropped the follow-ing bit of wisdom the other day:"People who like olives, shouldbe anxious to dissect the brain."

Doc Spring in Dietetics spout-ed forth the following bit ofchoice news the other day: "Beansshot my ideas of digestion all topieces."

Through tne means of relatingactual incidents from his per-sonal experiences, Mr. Passnobrought out the use of fingerprints as a means of "protection,rather than detection." Fromthis viewpoint, "in this modernday of lies and deceit, one ounceof circumstantial evidence isworth many pounds of oral evi-dence." As a further demonstra-tion of his subject he recalled thecase of a young girl who was re-cently found in the wash roomof a Chicago depot sufferingfrom loss of memory. The casewas profusely advertised through-out the country without any suc-ceiss until finally it was decidedto have the young lady broad-cast over one of the Chicago sta-tions, and it was through thismeans that her relativess in St.Louis were able to recognize herand return her to her parents.The connection between this caseand the finger print system ofidentification from the stand-point of protection lies in thefact that over 5,000 inquirieswere received regarding thisyoung aldy alone, which meansthat somewhere there are at leastfive thousand more missing girls,five thousand heartbroken rela-tives. Conditions such as thesewould be greatly alleviated bythe common registration of fin-ger rpints of all children in theNational Bureau of Identificationat Washington, D. C. Very fewpeople have ever heard of thisdepartment of our national gov-ernment and know even less ofits activities.

Mr. Passno was unable to com-plete his talk on account of lackof time, and everyone is anxious-ly awaiting his "return engage-ment" next week, at which timehe promised to give a demonstra--tion of the method of taking andcomparing the prints and thesystems in use at this time fortracing individuals through thismethod.

Plans for Year Book

(Continued from page 1)large to swell the total and makeit, financially, a success.

It was decided by the studentbody that no one connected withthe publication should receiveremuneration for his or her ser-vices, but that all money receivedbe expended toward making theyear book a larger and better is-sue than would otherwise be pos-sible.

With this end in view, a pub-lished statement of money re-ceived and paid out will be forth-coming following the publicationof the book, and any surplus willbe turned into the athletic treas-ury or disposed of in some man-ner satisfactory to the studentbody.

Fraternity Notes

(Continued from page 2)ment for the boys, consideringthe fact that every man in thechapter was at Twenty-fifth andUniversity by 9:15 a. m., on aSUNDAY.

Les Greenhill, Elgin, Illinois,spent the week end with the"Three Watch Makers."

Brother Cochran is the proudowner of :a new Dressing Robenow. Some Class!

John Watkins was the victimof a severe case of depression thepast week end when he didn't re-ceive his promised "special."Odell got his, so Birdie thinksGephart did him dirt by notmailing his part of the bargain.True love never runs smooth ina fraternity house.

.During Earl Shaw's enforcedabsence, Runt Russell has beenacting as fireman. The boy evi-dently thinks we have a ChristianScience furnace.

Delta OmegaA number of the Deltas and

their friends are enjoying lec-tures by Mrs. Morgan on Charac-ter Analysis." Those who havebeen unable to attend any ofthese lecturess feel that they aremissing a lot.

The Deltas wish to announcethe pledging of one of the Fresh-man A girls, Helen C. Moore.They are especially pleased tohave her one of them, on accountof her fine arts ability, she hav-ing studied violin under the di-rection of Arcule Sheasby at theDrake Conservatory of Music.

Are You Lookingfor a Location

Dr. A. P. Kottler of Chicago isforced to give up his practice onaccount of his health, and is of-fering it for sale at a great sacri-fice. Anyone interested in thisexceptional opportunity maywrite to the Doctor or the LogBook.

An Osteopath at Willmar,Minnesota, is also on the sick listand is endeavoring to dispose ofhis practice in the above city.This is a real chance to locate ina prosperous growing community.

Around the Campus

All the boys are striving toraise a mustache now, owing tothe wonderful success of DeanGrewell with his. (Investigate.)

Anyone wishing to see a "rapiddissection" quartet should cometo the dissection room betweenthree and five and watch McWil-liams, Conn, Thomas and Schnei-der.

Dr. Mary Golden's class en-joyed a trip through the city Tu-berculosis Camp for children.The trip proved very interesting,and proved what this city needsis Osteopathy in such institu-tions.

Cause of CurvedSpine Explained

Dr. H. V. Halladay of the DesMoines colleeg of Osteopathylectured to members of the vari-ous parent-teacher asssociationsof the city Wednesday afternoonin the high school auditorium.The osteopath stressed the needof education regarding the caus-es .andresults of spinal diseasesand stated that such trainingshould be incorporated in thehealth program in the publicschools.

"The idea in this work," Dr.Halladay explained, "is to makechildren comfortable and tocause their parents to realizethat treatment of spinal troubleis as essential as proper care ofthe teeth and other health pointstaught in the schools."

The physician quoted figureswhich showed that in easternschools where considerable in-vestigation has been done, about4 per cent of all children havefaulty spines. This condition,while not often fatal, affects theposture and general usefulnessof the patient. He cites manycauses of curved spines, such asfracture, dislocations of joints,and infantile paralysis.

Talked in Clear LakeDr. Halladay made several talks

at various schools Wednesday,including the high school atClear Lake, the local high school,Catholic school. This morning,demonstrations were held at theChamber of Commerce, togetherwith a free clinic. The physicianis assisted in the demonstrationsby his 11-year-old daughter,Frances.

Hope to Aid ChildrenDr. Halladay is holding the

clinic and demonstrations hereas a feature of "Normal SpineWeek," during which time thespines of school children are be-ing examined. It is felt thatmany backward children, labor-ing under the handicap of a de-fective spine, will be ultimatelyrestored to health.

The above clipping, taken froma Mason City, Iowa, daily, is self-explanatory. Some weeks ago,through the columns of the LogBook, announcement was made ofthe above mentioned "NormalSpine Week," and from all overthe country, reports have beenreceived regarding the successof the event. D. M. S. C. 0. isproud to have a faculty mem-ber with the ability and willing-ness to devote his time to sucha worthy cause.

Sophomore "B" Party

The Sophomore "B" class heldtheir class party at the home ofMabelle Moore, Saturday night,March 28. The house was hand-somely decorated with the classcolons, for the occasion. Every-body came early and stayed late.Music, games, and dancing weregreatly enjoyed throughout theevening, by all. A tempting two-course lunch was served by thehostess, and aids. Shortly be-fore the dawn of the Sabbath,all departed, declaring our sec-retary and treasurer a delightfulhostess. Dr. and Mrs. Halladaywere the faculty gueists, the Dr.performing quite ably on . hisHawaiian guitar.

Success of StillonianIs Now Assured

Since the last issue, progresson the development of the D.M. S. C. 0. year book, "The Stil-lonian," has broken all records.

Under the leadership of Edi-tor-in-Chief S. B. Dickinsn, thebook has rounded into shape, andat the termination of two weeksall classes have been photo-graphed, write-ups secured, anda major portion of the above ma-terial turned in to the printer.Considering the brief time avail-able, the task of publishing avolume that will do justice tothe College and be a monumentin its memory is a gigantic one.Nevertheless, the Stillonian willbe off the press and in the handsof the subscribers at least oneweek before school is out.

The student body is supportingthe publioatin in nearly a 100%manner from the standpoint ofsubscriptions. On March 23d,over two hundred paid subscrip-tions were in the hands of thetreasurer. Advertising space isgoing like "hot cakes," and sup-port from the Field is beginningto come in. All Doctors areurged to fill in the coupon onpage four and mail it at once.This issue of The Stillonian isgoing to be the biggest, best andmost attractive book ever putout by Still College.

D. M. S. C. 0. StudentLeads Double Life

One of the most peculiar casesof Double Life on record-1,*---local department was uncoveredthe past week end when it waslearned that L. A. Reiter, juniorstudent at the Des Moines StillCollege, has been playing tworoles since last May. A portionof the time Reiter, as he wasknown by his fellow students,,played the part of a hard work-ing, paper carrying student,struggling for existence; thebalance of the time "Teddy," ashe was called by the woman inthe case, played the role of"Sweet Papa."

In plain English, that even aFreshman can understand-Mr.and Mrs. Ted Reiter were mar-ried May 31st, 1924, it becameknown at a dinner party givenby the sister of the bride, Mrs.Oren Eittrem.

Congratulations, Ted, don'thold out on us next time!"

A letter was received the oth-er day from Dr. Helena R. Ry-dell, Ellendale, North Dakota,advising that her practice inthat city was for sale and thatshe would like to see some D.M. S. C. O. product there. Inthe Doctor's letter she mentions:"I have been here eighteen yearsand haven't starved yet." Thatshould be recommendation enoughfor anyone.

dr. .L. E. Hillman of GardenCity, Kansas, a progressive townof 4500, writes that after Junefirst he is going to locate inColorado and that his practicewill be available. The doctorwrites that he enjoys the com-plete co-operation of the localM. D.'s, and is admitted to thehospitals. This should prove anexceptional opportunity for someSenior student.

Dr. Payson W. Hoyt of Hoopes-town, Illinois, has suffered anervous breakdown and is desir-ous of securing someone to takehis practice for the next two orthree months.

Now that Brother Cupid hasslickered the chapter out of twostar boarders, the brothers areexpecting a boost in the roomrent.

There have been two outstand-ing events on this year's calen-dar for the "ITS". One Sundaymorning when all the brothersturned out for church, and thenagain, same year, the entirechapter, fully clothed, was pres-ent for the Stillonian picturebefore dinner. Something'swrong.

The two coats of paint, al-ready put on, sure make somedifference in the external ap-pearance of 2007 Grand.

Runt Russell started for Flor-ida the other evening, butchanged his mind.

The chapter is expecting tosee Gep blossom forth in a newspring isuit, now that he istreasurer of The Stillonian.

Brother Nye has broken allrecords and establisheh a prece-dent by dating twice in twoweeks. 'Bout time some one waswriting to Detroit.

Brother Nowlin has beenplaced in the Hall of Famealong with Old Man Hoyle, theboy who knows so much aboutpoker, since his invention of theparlor game known around thehouse as "Snorting." BrotherPlatt holds the championship todate.

Tooter Shaw has left schoolfor the balance of the semester.Certainly leaves an empty placearound the house.

The chapter enjoyed an infor-mal dance at the house, Fridayevening, March 20th. Roy Walt'sorchestra furnished the music.Dr. and Mrs. J. P. Schwartz actedas chaperons.

Deke Jones is still makingnightly trips to the country.

Peel Loghry, Valentino's onlyrival, has changed his field ofoperations to a point closerhome. Saves car fare, he says.

Atlas ClubA very enjoyable time was had

by all at the pledge dance March20th.

On March 18th, Dean Johnsongave a very interesting dis-course on ethics of handling del-icate problems in practice. In-formation acquired only throughyears of experience. We sin-cerely appreciate this talk, andhope to have the Dean with usagain.

During Monty's recent illnessa very white lily was left at thedoor by a Drake co-ed. Append-ed was a note as follows: "Sin-cere regrets." Premature stuff-eh, Monty?

Nelson has lost another mem-ber of his harem. Latest reportsstate that another of his sweet-ies has entered into a contractof which Nels was not even the2nd part. Tuf luck, Nels, youcan't only use one girl at a time.

Red Groves, for some uncannyreason, has taken up the studyof the banjo. .We haven't heardhim yet, but it must be good.

Phi Sigma GammaThe Fraters gratefully received

the wonderful demonstration oftechnique as given by the emi-nent Dr. Klein of Des Moines.His technique is quite a wonder-ful achievement for any one doc-tor to acquire, and all the broth-ers surely got a lot of new ideasfrom 1hiT xnnrlta-rfvll lrtn4- i-.Lt .

Bill Reese will have quite atime when he goes home explain-ing just how it is that the "cow-boys" out here wear dress suitseven to have their picturestaken.

The House Dance was a hugesuccess and there was 100% at-tendance. The Blue DiamondOrchestra under the direction ofMax Friend was a big factor inthe wonderful time that every-body enjoyed. These parties arejust so gosh darned much funthat we can hardly wait for thenext one.

Cavanaugh has acquired thehabit of jumping now wheneverhe hears anyone say, "Oh, boy!",as he is now serving as deskclerk every other night at theHotel Commodore.

Roy Davis has been the recip-ient of many presents lately,Among them is a sample fromone of the downtown drug stores.Davis says that the samples wereintended for the other sex, andcan't just figure it all out.

Dean Elsea was greatly em-barrassed the evening of thedance when one of the young la-dies present accused him of hav-ing a bottle. Poor Dean. Itwas just a case of misunderstand-ing again.

Judging from the way the boysare migrating we would judgethat "Spring has came." Surelyis peculiar what pranks thiswarm weather will play. Thefreshmen just play the part ofthe thinker, and it iis almost im-possible to get any work out ofthem whatsoever. Gordon sayshe is going to Chicago for hiscure.

WHAT'S YOUR DEFINITION?The teacher was explaining to

a class of small boys and girlsthe meaning of the word "colli-sion."

"A collision," she said, "iswhen two things come togetherunexpectedly. Now can anyonegive me an example of a colli-sion?"

"Twins!" said the Class Idiot.

The first day of school a littlegirl presented herself who lookedvery much like a true daughterof Italy.

"You're an Italian?" asked theteacher.

"No'm," was the astonishingreply.

"But wasn't your father bornin Italy?"

"Yes'mt." ;"And wasn't your mother born

in Italy?""Yes'in."f"Well, you must be an Ital-

Jo Bowman's description of thegait in TB of the spine is "Paleand anemic."

THE LOG BOOK


;:,JES MOINES STILL COLLEGEOSTEOPATHY

President ...-.....-... S. L. Tayloriditor ..---___---- Don Baylor

)steopathy Without Limitation

Concerning Students

The recent activities of theStaff of the Stillonian have un-earthed and brought to lightsome very interesting facts re-garding the student body of D.:X. S. C. 0.

Approximately fifty per centof the total enrollment has hadat least one year's college workprior to matriculation in thisInstitution. Stop a moment andthink back in the early days ofOsteopathy. What percentage ofstudents, in those days, had sucha foundation for their profes-sional training?

It is not the aim of this para-graph to deride or to belittlethe individuals who place O:ste-opathy in the exalted positionnow held, but to point out, asforcibly as possible, the giganticstrides forward Osteopathy hastaken.

The student body of D. M. S.C. O. is drawn from thirty-fivestates and the Dominion of Can-ada. From Canada on the northto Texas, Georgia and Mississip-pi on the south; from Maine andthe District of Columbia on theeast to Washington on the west.Our reach is far, and in compar-ison, D. M. S. C. 0. is as largeas the profession.

The commonplace happeningsof our everyday life are not al-ways given a great deal of con-sideration as matters of real in-terest. It is not necessary toleave our own everyday sur-roundings to experience suchthings. A man by the name ofM. Polo traveled a great dealwhile the world was still in itsteens. In his way, he was a verygood stick, such -as his sportingname suggests. His tales of ad-venture were listened to and ac-cepted with a great deal of in-terest by the majority of thepeople. Now Mark had thechance to enlarge upon his sto-ries, but in this case no suchelaboration is needed, nor ex-tensive travel. Right here inour midst one man has had anexperience that not one manin ten thousand will ever gothrough. Hashing is a necessityand can be considered as nothingelse. This particular man shovedout grub to a customer for twoyears the same way that numer-ous men have done; then the oldcustomer failed to appear oneday for his usual portion ofbeans. Now this is not unusual,nor was it considered as such. Afew weeks later the hasher dis-covered his old friend in a verypickled state. No, it was not al-cohol that had created this con-dition; it was formaldehyde. Nordi4 the hasher find him in jail,

but in the dissecting lab uponthe Hasher's work table. Justanother individual whose earthlyclay was doing its last bit forthe world through science thatothers might profit. Thus itbrings home to us the thoughtof how indefinite life really is-what a chance it is, after all.

Dissection Notes

Some visitors were in the oth-er day and thought that the fire-department was there, but it wasjust some studetns trying outabout thirty feet of intestinesto see if they leaked or not.

A Meckles Diverticulum wasdiscovered in Cadaver Gates.

We think those girls from the4 C's must have .advertised thesights they saw up here, becausethere have been so many ladyvisitors recently. Dr. Woods ac-cordingly has put a ban on vis-itors, because said flappers dis-tract the dissectors in their re-search work.

There is a rumor around thata certain student is dissecting aman he used to feed in a neigh-borhood beanery. According tothat we are taking big chanceseating in said joints.

Marlow: "Say, Doc. whatmakes the muscles in this ca-daver so rotten?"

Dr. Woods: "On account ofbeing in such bad company."

Ouch!Chevalier: "What makes the

intestines in Gates so con-stricted?"

Dr. Woods: "I guess he wasscared on the way down."

Faculty Man MakesStartling Discovery

(Continued from page one)ress he was forced to change hisplans and give up his secret atonce. According to the Doctor,99 women out of every hundredwere afflicted and 94 men froma like group. Every case treat-ed would be worth at least$200.00, and just figure it out foryourselves, 10 patients a monthat 200 per-. "I am only goingto charge you students $25.00for this marvelous secret," quothJohn, "$12.50 payable now andthe other 12.50 thirty days fromnow. The course consists of onlyone lesson. It is for the treat-ment of ENTEROPTOSIS. Givethe patient one glass of purecow's milk in which has beenplaced 3 ounces of steel filings,and then suspend a heavily mag-netized bar of iron around thepatient's neck. Leave your$12.50 with Gehman as you passout-That's all."

Heads Up, Students!Our youngest subscriber to

the Revolving Fund doubles hersubcsription this year. The lit-tle lady is less than three yearsold and already .aspires to be anOsteopathic Physician. She givestreatments and gets the money.How's that, you "Student Physi-cians?"

Man is a creative being-thatis, a conqueror of the impossible.

From the Field

Earl CurtissR. F. D. No. 2Lowell, Mich.

The Log Book,D. M. S. C. 0.,Des Moines, Iowa.Dear Editor:

I have been jumping aroundover Michigan prospecting for alocation. During the various so-journs I have met and talkedwith a number of practitioners,some of whom are guilty of'most anything, even to an indul-gence in the humorous. One re-lateis the following:

A certain buxom girl, one ofthose unfortunate individualswho happened to be burdenedwith surplus avoirdupois, was at-tending a class in ancient his-tory. The Prof, pointing her out,asked:

"What made the tower of Pisalean?"

"I don't know," she replied,"I'd certainly take some if I did."

That patients are prone to mis-interpret a diagnosis is commonknowledge, but this one might bechalked up against the ambigu-ity of the English language:

A Jewish lady suffering somediscomfort in the abdominal re-gion made a visit to the doctor.

On returning home the ladyexcitedly informed her husbandthat she was going to have twins.

The husband, displaying no lessexcitement, wanted to know justwhat the doctor had said.

"Well," she made reply, "Heexamined me thoroughly and fin-ally said, 'You have too little gas-tric juice in you.'"

At a recent banquet a few sto-ries were related which couldhardly be classified as "appetis-ers"-to wit

Two young fellows were eatingraw oysters in a restaurant.Jack finished eating his in a hur-ry and left the room to tele-phone. Upon his return he no-ticed that Roy had one large oys-ter still on his plate. Jack won-dered why the delay in finishingthe lunch, whereupon Roy in-formed him that he could not eatit. Jack immediately proceededto devour the article in question,saying, "That's the way to eat'em up." "Yes," said Roy, "butcan you hold it down?" "Well,I can't see any reason why Ican't," retorted Jack. "Maybenot," came the consoling reply,"but I swallowed the dam' thingthree times and couldn't keep itdown."

Volume 2 April 15, 1925 Number 19

Stillonian Is Nowon the Press

All copy is in-forms closed,and press run begun on the 1925Stillonian-D. M. S. C. O.'s great-est year book.

The hearty co-operation ofthe student body and faculty inthe matters of photographs andcopy has enabled the staff to pre-pare the book in record-break-ing time. Every department hasbeen handled in a thorough andefficient manner, and when de-livered the book will become oneof the most coveted of studentpossessions.

Barring all accidents, the Stil-lonian should be ready for de-livery some time between May1st and 15th. And in view ofthe fact that this is the firstbook published for a number ofyears, it has been suggested thatthe day delivery is made becalled "Stillonian Day," and ap-propriate observance (no classes)be made of the same. However,at this time the suggestion hasnot been acted upon.

General ClinicBreaks Records

In a previous issue of the LogBook an article appeared, de-scriptive of the work conductedin the General Clinic. The fol-lowing will give a small amountof concrete evidence of the actu-al Work done during the pastyear.

During this period approxi-mately 15,725 patients were ex-amined in General Clinic. Overone hundred and eighty cases re-ceived the services of the Obstet-rical clinic; sixty-five cases weretreated in the Gynecologicalclinic; thirty-five proctologicalcases; sixty-five "Nervous andMental " cases and ninety in theEye, Ear, Nose and Throat sec-tion. The above figures, whilenot including General Treat-ment, will give a fairly compre-hensible idea of the vast extentof the D. M. S. C. O. clinics.

Consider the service renderedthe patient in the specializedclinics and the cost to the pa-tient! Is it not amazing? Fewstudents or Field men fully real-ize the vast work being carriedon by this department of thecollege.

The clinical work required ofall students is one of the mostimportant phases of their train-ing as Osteopathic Physicians.It is in the clinic that the em-bryo Doctor gains that degree ofself confidence so esential tosuccess in actual practice-it ishere that he learns to meet pa-tients, to detect and judge per-

Freshmen A'sHave Gala Time

April Fools? No, indeed! Al-though some of us had so muchfun that we felt foolish.

The music that drifted out tothe world that evening more thansatisfied passersby as to how theclass of '28 can enjoy themselvesoutside of classrooms.

Who suggested it in the firstplace, we can't remember. Atany rate, the vote in its favorwas so nearly unanimous thatthe committee started thingsrolling at once. That memorablenight, April third, found us allthere, ready for .one. of the besttimes of our lives.

In a short time, some of theboys began to warm up to the


Honorary Frat toBe Installed Here

Through the influence of Dr.H. V. Halladay and Dr. GeorgeHurt, a chapter of Sigma SigmaPhi, honorary Osteopathic fra-ternity, is to be installed in D.M. S. C. O., Friday, April 24th.Installation will be made by of-ficers from the chapter at Kirksville.

The purpose of the Fraternityis to inspire the student body tohigher scholarship, and to workfor the betterment of Osteopathyand our college.

As a nucleus for the founda-tion of the local chapter fivemen were elected from Iota TauSigma, Phi Sigma Gamma andAtlas Club respectively, and fivemen from the student body. Af-ter organization, members will beelected by the fraternity, fromthe student body as a whole, re-gardless of other affiliations, tofill vacancies on the roll createdby graduation. The membershipwill be confined to the Juniorand Senior classes and will bebased upon high scholarship at-tainment and service to D. M.S. C. 0. and the Profession.

The advent of such an organi-zation as Sigma Sigma Phi intoour school is indicative of theprogress the institution is mak-ing, and is indeed an honor. Itis predicted that in the years tocome this organization will de-velop into one of the strongestfactors in student life at D. M.S. C. . Now there will be aworth-while reward for highscholastic standing-recognitionfor service rendered and, ofequal importance, a stimulus forthe development of a strongerschool spirit than has heretoforebeen manifested.

The men chosen to composethe first chapter of Sigma SigmaPhi in D. M. S. C. 0. are: Mont-gomery, Howland, Homer Sprague,Joe Rader, Homer Thomas, H. B.Poucher, M. E. Green, Carl Gep-hart, 0. H. Olson, Don Baylor,Louis Miller, Bob Murphy, Leon-ard, Nelson, Koschack, Hoffman,F. 0. Harrald, Butcher, MiltonConn and Ross Robertson.

Officers elected were Baylor,President; Rader, Secretary;Montgomery, Treasurer; and Ko-schack, Sergeant at Arms.

NoticeBeginnilng July 1st, 1925, all

holders of Iowa certificates topractice Osteopathy will berequired to pay an annual re-newal fee of $1.00 to maintaintheir license in force.

Are You Lookingfor a Location

Dr. R. D. Hardie, who has beenpracticing at Galena, Illinois, forthe past eleven years, is forcedto give 'it up on account of illhealth, and is desirous of secur-ing a competent D. O. to takeover the practice. Galena is agood town, located in a prosper-ous community where osteopathyis well known. This should provean excellent opportunity forsome one.

Dr. V. B. Smith of Boone, Ia.,wants someone to take over hispractice for a period of at leastsix months. Anyone interestedmay secure full particulars bywriting the school.

Continued from page 1)sonal peculiarities and idiosyn-crasies-to apply the fund oftheoretical knowledge he hasbeen accumulating.

D. M. S. C. O. is justly proudof the record her clinics havemade, and is confident that thereis not an Osteopathic school inthe country that can surpassthem in either Quality or Quan-tity.

Fraternity NotesAlpha Xi Iota Sigma

On a recent sunny Sundaymorning we hiked to GreenwoodPark. Olive officiating at thestove, the bacon and eggs provedeatable.

Lois was absent from our midstlast week. We understand shewas looking over the "Land ofthe In-Laws."

In spring a young man's fan-cy"-You know the old tale-Well, if you don't, please inquire-Casey Jones.

Delta OmegaSurprise! Un-huh! and on

Mother Halladay. All the girlsof the school are planning ongathering at the home of MabelleMoore and proceeding en masseto the home of Dr. H. V. Halla-day on Wednesday evening, April15. On that day, Mother Halla-day becomes another year young-er, and all the girls want to helpher celebrate and wish her well.

Monday evening, April 13, theactive Delta's met at the homeof Dr. Ferne Woods and initiatedHelen C. Moore. It had beenquite a while since "the girls hadbeen at Ferne's home, so it wasa real get-together. Dr. Johnmanaged to get home in time toget a hand-out, gaining admit-tance through the kitchen doorwhile Dr. Bean inadvertentlydrove up just as refreshmentswere being served, and likewisewas invited to join 'em for the"eats." The two men tried totalk, but finally sat back andhad to listen. Ain't it awful?

Atlas ClubThursday, March 26, "Daddy"

Bachman gave a very good lec-ture on goitre. "Daddy's" lec-tures are always looked forwardto by the boys.

Several pledges took first de-gree work April 2. The ridingwas rather easy, but no shock ab-sorbers will be available nexttime.

Dr. Woods favored us with alecture on Physical Diagnosis onApril 9. Handsome Johnny isvery practical in his work. Hissubjects are intensely interest-ing and valuable.

The pledges look worried, butthere is no necessity for same,as they cannot possibly imaginewhat will happen to them seconddegree night.

Bro. Bob Lustig, January, '25,reports that he is located inGrand Rapids, Mich., and expectsto do everything, even 0. B.work.

Bro. Richardson has an antiqueFord. He bought it for betteror worse. The motor was warmwhen he got it, but when itcooled off he couldn't start it.He was advised to get a hot-shotbattery for it and did so. Whenhe went to install it he foundone under the back seat alreadyconnected up. Upon close exam-ination he found Lizzie entirelydevoid of all pep. The skull wasalso fractured, and the nervoussystem lacked irritability. Thelungs are 0. K., but there is adeath rattle with each cough. Ithas leakage of the valves, radi-ator and carburetor.

The car has a healthy appetiteand eats up much gas, oil andH20 but not much road. He hasinvited several friends out for aride but they couldn't get itstarted. Ross has asked advice,and several brothers have figuredout that he will get about 5miles per gallon on gas, 2 milesper gallon on water, 10 miles perquart on oil and 25 miles pertire on wheels, which equalsabout 500 miles per car. Now ifDetroit is 700 miles from DesMoines, he will have to walk thelast 200 miles.

If the car cost him $30 andwill only carry him 500 miles,and his train fare would be only$25.00, he would be just as farahead if he gave someone $5 totake it out and lose it. Cardsof sympathy will please be sentto the fraternity house.

Iota Tau SignlaWith the advent of spring and

housecleaning, a number of themore prosperous brothers haveblossomed forth in Easter re-galia.

Beta Chapter takes pleasure inannouncing the pledging of Del-mer Stanninger, '28, to Iota TaLSigma.

Puss Richardson entertainedthe "chosen one" at his home inAustin, Minnesota, last week end.

With the closing of the Home-stea,d cafeteria, some of thebrothers are lacking a feasibleexcuse for leaving A. B.'s eleveno'clock Orthopedic class early.

"Monkey" Nye has selected asan avocation training of wildanimals.

Deke Jones essayed to raise amoustache, but in deference tothe wishes of some of the oldermen, desisted.

The chapter is looking forwardwith great anticipation to thecoming Relay Dance, to be heldat the chapter house April 25th.

Dr. Jake Wedel of Wintersetvisited the house Sunday, April5th.

Brothers Odell and Watkinsspent the past week end at theirrespective homes getting some ofMa's good cooking.

Freshmen A'sHave Gala Time

(Continued from page 1)situation. Who could help it,with such music as the Blue Dia-monds furnished us? Warmerand warmer, and then our Virgeto the rescue. Does he knowsummer styles? Well, we guess,for after that the boys dancedcalmly and coolly, sans coats.

During intermission, we wereentertained with a group of songsby Mr. and Mrs. Kroll, friends ofaur classmates, also, Virge Halla-day and his syncopators playedfor us.

Our chaperons were: Dr. andMrs. H. V. Halladay and Dr.George Hurt.

Yes. It was certainly a hugesuccess. Everyone there assuredthose who missed that it was,and all are hoping that we maysoon have another big time.

Health Hint: Eat greens toavoid having the blues.

One of the student obstetri-cians reports the following ver-sion of the universally knownchild prayer, heard while "on du-ty" in "Little Ethopia":"Now I lays ya daown to sleepAn' doan' yo let me hear yo peep.Yo runs me crazy when awake;Now go to sleep, fo' de good

Lawd's sake."

Messerschmidt thinks her Fordhas that "gas consumption" shehas read about-it coughs somuch.

Butcher says that courtshipconsists in a fellow running af-ter a girl until she has caughthim.

A. B. Taylor says the most con-firmed pessimist he knows, notonly wears a belt and suspend-ers, but carries a card of safetypins in his pocket.

Pinkie Schwartz defines a park-ing space as a place where youleave your car to have the fend-ers crumpled.

When asked why he slept inclass so much, Hibbard repliedthat a great medical authorityonce said that when "the eyesare closed the hearing becomesmore acute" and that he was ex-perimenting to determine wheth-er the doctor's theory was trueor not.

Albert: "Ma, kin I go out inthe street. Pa says there is go-ing to be an eclipse of the sun."

Ma: "Yes, but don't get tooclose."

Doctor: Have you taken everyprecaution to prevent spread ofcontagion in the family?"

Rastus: "Abs'lutely, doctah.We eben bought a santary cupan' we all drink out of it."

First Little Girl: "Do you be-lieve there's a devil?"

Second: "No! It's like SantaClaus. It's your father."

Some MoneyI am twenty-five cents.I am not on speaking terms

with the butcher.I am too small to buy a quart

{of ice cream.I am not large enough to pur-

chase a box of candy.I am too small to buy a ticket

to a movie.I am hardly fit for a tip, but

-believe me, when I go tochurch on Sunday, I am considcered SOME MONEY!

For I am Spring!

Ontario OsteopathsThe recurring question of the

status of osteopathy in Ontariois again before the Legislature.There are some general princi-ples to which open-minded mem-bers of the medical professionwill yield assent, and to whichthe Legislature should give stat-utory recognition. For example,those who make a practice ofdiagnosing and treating the ail-ments of the human body shouldfirst have undergone an adequatecourse of training and instruc-tion, and have passed certaintests which the State, as the cus-todian of the public well-being,has the right to prescribe. Aperson should be assured thatwhen he consults a practitionerof the healing art the latter shallbe fully qualified, according tothe official standards set for theparticular school to which he be-longs, whether it is allopathy orosteopathy. There are seven col-leges of osteopathy in the Unit-ed States, three of which give afive years' course, and the oth-ers a four-years' course, yet thegraduates of these institutionsare put on a level by the laws ofOntario with so-called osteopathswho have had little or no train-ing by comparison. This state ofaffairs is unjust to the qualifiedosteopaths, and in permitting it

"I Planted a Seed"

I planted a seed in the cool, darkground,

Then waited for it to grow,While the sun and wind and dew

and rainAnd the mantle of winter's

snowLent comfort and warmth and

food and drinkTo that little seed below.

I planted, deep within my heart,A seed of revenge, and so

While the storms of life beat onmy breast,

I allowed that seed to grow,Until it filled the whole of my

lifeWith sorrow and hate and woe.

I planted a thought within myheart,

A thought of love, you know,And let the light of heaven shine

in,Until it began to grow,

And to fill my life with beautyand hope.

Until it was all agl.ow.

Each day we have sown variousseeds,

And fruit they will surelybear.

'Tis not alone the storms of lifeThat have made us what we

are,Nor the light of love from God

above,But the seeds we have planted,

there.-Olive Matthews.

to continue the Legislature isnot protecting the public as itshould.

The relative merits of medi-cine and osteopathy, using med-icine as a convenient term forthe older school of healing, arenot involved. People should befree to choose one or the other.There are fundamental studies inthe healing art common to allschools, and the State may prop-erly insist that these studiesshall engage as much of the timeof the student of osteopathy asof the student of medicine. Ifthis test is met there should beno discrimination, and therewould be no argument for re-stricting the title "Doctor,""Physician," "Surgeon," to oneclass of licentiates, as proposedin the bill now before the House.

The problem would be simpli-fied if there were a college ofosteopathy in Ontraio, and theLegislature should remove theobstacles to the project. Theeducational standards of themedical profession in Ontarioare admirably high, and safe-guard the public. Osteopathicpractitioners who have con-formed to similar standardsshould have similar rights andprivileges. The large number ofpeople who take osteopathictreatment are also entitled toprotection.

The above clipping was takenfrom a recent issue of a Torontodaily. It gives a clear, conciseand unprejudiced opinion on thesubject involved, and is wellworth the deep consideration ofevery Osteopath.

Dissection NotesA very good specimen of "ro-

tated vertebral bodies" may beseen in cadaver No. 5, also asplendid case of aortic sclerosis.

Now that these spring daysare so nice, some very marvel-ous speed is exhibited in cuttingthe cadavers. The fellows don'trealize what territory they covertill they go home and write uptheir notes.

The "Dissection Room Quartet"may be heard any afternoon.There are also rumors that fourperfectly healthy bodies will beavailable for dissection in abouta week, so draw straws early tosee who gets the tenor.

Someone has a bad habit ofturning the water off about thetime the surgeons desire tocleanse their hands. It leavesthem in a dirty mess.

All gold fillings from cadavers'teeth will be turned in to Dr.Woods, please. Microscopescheerfully furnished to locatesaid jewelry.

The facts of astronomy areoverwhelming and so stupefyingthat there are moments whenhuman speech is stricken dumb,and one is almost tempted to crylike a child in the dark, or evento howl like a dog, which is thedog's way, I suppose, of express-ing cosmic emotion. Verily, thehighest cannot be spoken: themere vastness of it completelybaffles us. "The stars above usand the graves beneath us."Great God, what a universe! Andyet we discuss it over our tea-cups as though it were a thingwe carried in our waistcoatpockets.

HIS TOUR OF INSPECTION"Yes, sir," declared the stout

man in the smoker, "now that Ihave wealth and leisure, I pro-pose to check up on the songwriters."

"As to how?""First, I'll count the sycamores

along the Wabash and then I'llinspect those braes of Maxwel-ton."

"Do you understand what ismeant by invisible government?"

"Personally speaking," said Mr.Meekton, "I do. My wife givesme a list of errands every dayby telephone."

Minister: "Do you think theyapproved of my sermon?"

Wife: "Yes, indeed, they wereall nodding."

Edith: "How is it that you getso many joy rides?"

Madge: "Oh, I practice autosuggestion."

An Idaho man was fishing inLake Crescent recently. Hecaught a big northern pike, thebiggest he had ever landed in hislong and busy life. He was elat-ed. He was crazed with joy, andhe telegraphed his wife: "I've gotone; weighs seven pounds -and isa beauty."

The following was the answerhe got: "So have I; weighs tenpounds. Not a beauty-lookslike you. Come home."

After the recuperation and re-suscitation o i the candidates anthe safe tethering of the OfficialGoat, a brief business meetingwas held. At 6:30, all who werephysically able partook of abounteous repast, after whichshort talks were made by thenewly initiated brothers, the vis-iting officers and Drs. Halladayand Hurt. The meeting thenadjourned to the Orpheum,where the chapter entertainedthe visitors at a box party.

Inter-Class Track Meet

Friday, May 8th, has been se-lected as the date for the An-nual Inter-Class track meet.Enthusiasm is running high, andall classes are concentrating onbeating the sophomores, whowalked away with last year'srace.

The meet will be held in the'West High stadium, and the pro-gram will include a full list oftrack and field events. Classteams and fraternity relay teamsare hard at work training forthe event, and some records areexpected to fall.

The two most popular eventson the program are the special100-yard dash and the inter-fra-ternity relay. There are someexceptionally fast men in school,and the 100 should go in prettygood time. The relay is alwaysfast and plenty of competition.

.It is rumored that there willbe a special feature race for themembers of the faculty only-the man who is physically ableto run the shortest distance win-ning.

The entire student body is ex-pected to attend this event, asit is one of the most outstand-ing affairs of the entire schoolcalendar.

SENIORS-

Alumni ActiveThe D. M. S. C. 0. Alumni as-

sociation is on the job every min-ute planning for the bettermentof the college and the relation-ship between the field men andthe school.

In a recent communicationfrom Dr. B. M. Hudson, secretaryand treasurer of the association,he states that extensive plansare being made by special com-mittees for reunions to be heldat the coming Central Statesconvention and the Toronto con-vention.

The college is indeed gratifiedto learn of the intense interestmanifested by our alumni organi-zation, and consider it an addedlaurel to the school to have sucha loyal alumni organization.

J. P. Schwartz HonoredIn recognition of his invalu-

able service to the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy, as amember of the faculty and as theguiding genius in all movementsfor the betterment of the col-lege and student spirit, Dr. J. P.Schwartz was elected and dulyinitiated asan honorary memberof Beta Chapter, Sigma SigmaPhi, Friday, April 24th

The Doctor was also electedfaculty advisor to the Pan Hel-lenic Council it its last regularmeeting.

What most of us need at themoment is not so much a newdefinition of education as a newvision of it. Visions -are morepotent things than definitions.

Stillonian to BeOut in Record Time

By the time this issue of theLog Book goes to press, the presswork on the 1925 STILLONIANwill have been completed andthe book ready for the binderydepartment. Provided there isno delay in the receiving of thecovers, which are being made inChicago, the book should be

rready-or-deiveryn;ot later- than -

the fifteenth of May.Considering the fact that thet

entire idea was conceived and.executed in so brief a time, thea vote of appreciation is due theentire staff. Rumor has it thatthe publishers say it is one ofthe best books they are publish-ing this year, and that includessome of the year books of thelargest schools in the state.

Profiting by the experience ofthis year's staff and the wealtthof material available, next year'spublication should be withoutpeer. The student body is urgedto begin now, collecting and pre-serving snapshots, jokes, andsuitable material for next year'sbook.

Surprise Party onMother Halladay

Well-the girls of the school(and a large majority attended)who were present at the surpriseparty on Mother Halladay werethemselves treated to a surprise,and a pleasant one, too.

Dr. Virg. Halladay addressedthose present, his subject beingthe "History of Osteopathy."This was interesting, and alsohighly instructive. Followinghis lecture he gave 'em anotherreal treat by allowing free admis-sion to his den and all the speci-mens therein.

Mother Halladay was delightedwith the affair, which went off,from beginning to end, with a"bang." Needless to say, shewas decidedly fussed at first,butregained her poise before theevening closed.

The girls presented her with ablossoming stock in lavender.

Ice cream, cookies and coffeewere served, after which the girlsreluctantly returned to theirbooks.

NoticeBeginning July 1st, 1925, all

holders of Iowa certificates topractice Osteopathy will berequired to pay an annual re-newal fee of $1.00 to maintaintheir license in force.

Dear Pa-The check got here today but

the Relays are over so i wonthave to buy the hammer. I wasone of the teams trainers. Theteam was pretty good but theircoach thot that they ran toolong in the same place. I havebeen wondering about it everysince. After all i believe he wasright a team should go away fromhome once in a while. Thatwould be one way of coveringmore territory. One of the fel-lows in the band out at the Re-lays said that the last strain wasawful and when i asked him whatrace he was talkin about he gotmad-these musicians are sureelectristic.

Tell ma I will never remon-strate (a new word i learned)aginst wearing heavies again. Alot of the college boys from outof town even wore their heaviesover their B. V. D.'s. Some ofthem even had red flannel ones.These college boys even weartheir heavies wide at the bot-tom. I saw some girls who musthave been from the Indian schoolcause they sure had the warpaint on. Judging from theamount of clothes some of themhad on i thot they were going torace, too. When the second manon the relay team started to runthe girl next to me asked whatinning it was i told her i thot itwas the beginning of the secondquarter. Gee these girls aredumb. Well Dad you sure madea good investment when you sentme out here i am learning myOsteopathy good and fast, I gaveone of the boys a treatment theother ,day and he aint been backany more so I guess i must ofcured him. I got to close nowcause I am going out on a datewith one of the boys to studyAnatomy.

Your son,Adam L.

P. S. Please answer on pinkpaper.


Dr. A. P. Kottler of Chicago,after twenty years of active prac-tice, has been forced by ill healthto retire from the active list.His practice in the city of Chi-cago is now available. For fur-ther details write either theDoctor or the Log Book.

Dr. R. M. Packard of Oakland,Nebraska, has notified the col-lege that his practice in thatcity is for sale. This wouldprove an excellent opportunityfor a graduating senior to locatein Nebraska.

Dr. J. E. Veon of Bakersfield,California, is desirous of obtain-ing the services of a graduatephysician to take over his prac-tice for the period from July toSeptember. And should the ser-vice rendered prove satisfactory,the opportunity would be avail-able for a permanent connection.Anyone interested may commu-nicate with the Doctor direct orwrite the college.


Now that the interior decorat-ing is practically completed, thechapter house again resemblesa homelike abode.

On Saturday, April 25, BetaChapter entertained at an in-formal dancing party at the chap-ter house in honor of houseguests attending the Drake Re-lays. Frank Juby, Elgin Illinois,was the guest of Marlow andPoucher; Kerns and Hookey ofAmes were the guests of DaveSkidmore; Stan Knapp of theState University of Iowa andJim Barnes of Des Moines werethe guests of Jim Cochran; theOhio Wesleyan relay team, Jii.Pierce, Chick Pearce, RolandRosser, Winfred Helms andGeorge Hill, were the guests ofDeke Jones. And the membersof the Estherville High Schoolrelay team were the guests ofthe fraternity.

General house cleaning was invogue on the Thursday prior tothe Relays, and the chief com-mand was "Don't tell my lotheryou saw me doing this."

Tiny Benien has supplanted thefar-famed San!dow as the world-known strong man. Tiny select-ed a highly psychological mo-ment to "do his stuff" much tothe discomfort of some of thebrothers who had retired).

Pledges to the fraternity, Sten-ninger and McFarland, were giv-en the first degree of their ini-tiation Monday evening, April 27.

None of the brothers have beenmarried during the past twoweeks, but it is seriously doubt-ed if some of them will be ableto continue in the Blessed Sin-gle State until the end of theschool year.

It is rumored that SherwoodNye is suffering from a slightattack of amnesia. Have younoticed that happy smile thathas been in evidence the pastmonth or so?

Atlas ClubSecond degree initiation was

held April 16th, and the boys allhad a warm reception. WallyWalker in particular had a hottime. Accidents will happen,Wally. L. E. Schaeffer, ArthurDutt, Dud Wire and Jim Humph-rey were also given the warmhand. Welcome to our frat boys.

The Atlas Club will hold adance at the Grant Club Friday,May 1st. A good time is prom-ised by the committee.

We are all glad to see a chap-ter of the Sigma Sigma Phi in-augurated at Still College, andwish to say that the Atlas Clubis behind it with sincere wishesfor success.

The semi-annual banquet willbe held about May 15th, and theboys should all work up a goodappetite for said occasion, as wealways have a great time.

Brother Richardson wishes toinform the brothers that hisFord is now running, he havingencouraged it to start last Sun-day to take some friends up tohear Dean Johnson preach. Theride was uneventful till theycame to a hill, whereupon allpassengers were requested to get

out and push. The rest of theride was O. K., as it was alldown hill. It is rumored thatRbss loses more religion in get-ting it started than can possiblybe recouped in several sermons.Ross says he realizes the remotechances of getting to Detroitwith it, and is looking for a me-chanic as a fourth passenger, theother three being pushers.

Sherriff Reed is to receive adegree from the Anatomical So-ciety on the following creden-tials:

Says Dr. Wood tio Reed:"What is the largest cranial

nerve?"Says Reed to Dr. Woods:"Trigeminal."Says Dr. Woods to Bro. Reed:"Yes, all great anatomists agree

upon that."P. S.-This lets Dr. Woods in

on an honorary degree, also.

P. S. G. NotesSeven days a week don't suf-

fice for P. S. G. activities, nowthat it is time for suspension ofschool activities.

Dr. C. W. Johnson, Dean, gavethe brothers a talk which left anindelible impression. His talkalong the line of professionalethics was delivered in such trueJohnsonian style that it madethe evening a short one.

Dr. Grile, M. D. of internation-al fame, gave a well deliveredaddress upon the subject of Mal-practice. We think the commit-tee should be commended for ob-taining such a speaker.

The chapter house was turnedover to the atlas club for oneevening, the occasion, a smoker.

The first Pan-Hellenic Councilmeeting was held in the chapterhouse, and Dr. J. P. Schwartzwas chosen to address the meet-ing. His talk, "Hash," was aninspiration to freshmen as wellas to graduating members. Planswere made for the first Pan-Hel-lenic dance.

Mr. Guthrie of Ohio StateUniversity was a visitor at thehouse during the week end.Guthrie capably defended O. S.U. at the Drake Relays.

The chapter house was filled tooverflowing during the Relays,Grinnell, Simpson, Ames, Kirks-ville and Buena Vista were allrepresented.

Baumgartner and Rawson ofAlpha chapter spent last weekwith Delta chapter.

Johnson and Chambers, ThetaPsi, spent the week end at thechapter house.

Dr. Johnson of Jefferson, Iowa,was a week-end visitor.

Joe Rader has his "Rolls Ruff"on four wheels again, and haswired his golf clubs on the run-ning board to add style.

Brothers Spencer and Connspent a hectic week in Ohio andthe wilds of Michigan. Theyprayed for a car like Rader's be-fore they reached Des Moinesagain. It was a long walk.

Sprague and Thelleman are of-fering the boys cigarettes just toshow their new twenty-cent cig-arette cases.

Pledge Schaeffer has a newplayfellow now, in the person ofJerry Lambertson.

Gay Howland was disappointedin love again Sunday. On his

Lawless ProceedingThe teacher was giving the

class a lecture on "gravity.""Now, children," she said, "it

is the law of gravity that keepsus on this earth."

"But, please, teacher," inquiredone small child, "how did westick on before the law waspassed."

"Do you wish to marry againif you receive a divorce?"

"Ah should say not! Ah wantsto be withdrawn from circula-tion!"

L. E. Shaffer told Dr. Spring,the other day, that the buccina-tor and masseter muscles wereemployed in raising the body onthe toes.

It has been rumored aroundthe campus that Wilson has beenshaving for almost a year now.He asked Doc Woods the otherday, "Say, Doc, do those twomuscles on the roots of hairsmake it easier for one to shaveafter a year's practice?" Towhich Dr. Woods replied, "I'msure I don't know, but it mightbe so."

The Doctor also recently con-sented to impart his famous ad-vice to amorous swains to thefreshman A class. It follows:"When you are holding her hand,looking up into her eyes, say(with feeling), 'What beautifullunulas you have, sweetheart!'"He says it always works. Formore detailed technique, see theDoctor personally.

Drake Relays BringMany Visitors to Still

The Drake Relays, held April24th and 25th, afforded many ofthe friends and alumni of D. M.S. C. O. an opportunity to visitthe college and renew old ac-quaintance.

Fraternities held special so-cial functions for visiting friendsand members and the entireschool showed as much interestin the event as did the Drakestudents.

Dr. Allen, graduate of A. S. 0.,and athletic director and basketball coach of Kansas U., gave anexcellent talk in assembly onFriday morning. The absolutenecessity of ideals and cleanmanhood and womanhood werethe points stressed by the Doctoras being absolutely essential tosuccess in any field of endeavor.

"I'd Like to Know YourMother"

Among the young men exam-ined by a certain doctor for ad-mission to the army was a youngfellow so well set up and soclean of limb and life that thedoctor remarked as he finishedhis examination, "Young man,I'd like to know your mother."

A boy does not often realizethat in every test he is called tomeet, there is someone else be-sides himself who is being tested,and that one of these is hismother. No boy with any realmanhood in his make-up can wishto subject his mother to unfav-orable criticism. And yet, thoughthe criticism be unspoken, themother of the lad who is actingunworthily, in most cases re-ceives a measure of the silentblame. She may have done herbest, but in spite of it all, theboy has gone contrary to hercounsel, and is thwarting her ef-forts. The world at large can-pot know this, and the only wayJt has of judging the motherwhom they have not seen is byher sons whom they have seen.

No boy will go far astray ifhe tries to live so that peoplewill say, or feel like saying,;'Young man, I'd ike to knowyour mother."

Sunday, May 10th, is Mother'spDay. Let every student of StillCollege whose mother is livingsend her some token of his loveand honor for her, wear the redcarnation, and for those who areless fortunate-let them wear-the white carnation and live theday with the memories of thebest pal he ever had-his mother.

Students Donate ClocksThe student body recently

purchased three excellent SethThomas clocks for the college.One was hung in the 'office totell Rosie when to ring the bell,one in the rear of the assemblyroom to tell the long-windedspeakers when to stop, and onein the main hall to remind thestudents of their classes. Wheth-er or not the above is the exactpurpose and use of the three newtickers, the school is more thanproud of 'em!

It is evident that Joe F.ader isa staunch believer in the say-ing, "It pays to advertise." Fromnow on, please watch Joe's "car"-for all announcements, insteadof the regular bulletin board.

If she won't tell her age-timewill tell.

Pan HellenicFraternities Meet

The first meeting of the entiremembership of the Pan HellenicCouncil was held at the chapterhouse of the Phi Sigs on Tuesdayevening, April 21.

The talk o fthe evening wasgiven by Dr. J. P. Schwartz, thefaculty advisor of the Council,on the subject 'of "Hash." The"Hash" was served in threecourses: first, general hash ofinterest to all on the subject oflittle details not included inclass-room lectures, secondly, tothe under classmen on the sub-ject of concentrating on Osteop-athy during the four years of thecollege course rather than in thelast three months, and thirdly,to the graduating seniors on "Il-legal Practice." The talk wasinvaluable to all who were pres-ent, and the membership is deep-ly grateful to the Doctor for thetime and thought entailed in itspreparation. Following the talk,a smoker was enjoyed by allpresent.

Dr. Florence MorrisLeaving Des Moines

Dr. Florence Morris, for sometime one of D. M. S. C. O.'sstaunchest boosters in the-city,has informed the Log Book ofher removal from -the city totake 'over the practice of theDrs. Shaw at Indianola, Ia. Thehost of Des Moines friends willmiss Dr. Morris very much, butextend to her heartiest goodwishes for success in her newlocation.

Mortality in City andCountry Compared

Life is longer and health isbetter for those who live in thecountry and the smaller townsthan for the city dwellers.

The rural boy, at birth, has alife expectancy of 73/4 years morethan his urban brother, and thecountry girl may expect to livesix years longer than the citygirl. There are, however, a num-ber of decidedly serious healthproblems for the rural popula-tion. For many important dis-eases, the rural mortality ex-ceeds the urban. The data for along period of years show thisclearly and are worthy of con-sideration.Whooping cough is an interest-ing example. In direct contrastto what happens for the threeother important epidemic dis-eases of childhood. measles, scar-let fever and diphtheria, thewhooping cough death rate ishigher, year after year, in ruraldistricts than in the cities. Wehave never seen a satisfactory ex-planation for this phenomenon.

In the case of cancer, the epi-theliomata, or skin cancers, con-stitute a very interesting excep-tion to what happens with re-spect to malignant growths inother parts of the body; for thesecancers, in direct contrast to allothers, show a much higher ru-ral than city death rate.

Central ConventionIs Drawing Near

Program arrangements for thecoming Central States Osteo-pathic association's convention tobe held here the 27th, 28th and29th of May, continue to mark itas the outstanding meeting ofthe year with the exception ofthe coming Toronto meeting.

The leading men in all thebranches of the profession arenamed to appear before the va-rious sections, and the organiza-tion of complete and extensiveclinics has been carried out bythe committee for the variousdepartments. The most out-standing of the clinics will bethe surgical clinic held at theDes Moines General Hospital andconducted by the three greatestOsteopathic surgeons.

Practically all the nationalexhibitors will be represented-in fact, the exhibit space avail-able has had to be increased sev-eral times. Record attendancehas been further assured by thegranting of fare and a third forround-trip passages. Approxi-mately eight hundred osteopathsare expected to attend the con-vention.

Coming as it does, during thecommencement week of the col-lege, it is of added importanceto the school. It will afford usan opportunity to show the pro-fession the type of physician D.M. S. C. 0. is turning out andalso give them an opportunity toattend the commencement exer-cises.

general tuberculosis show thatthis is an exception to what ap-plies for tuberculosis disease ofthe lungs and of other parts ofthe body; for general tubercu-losis is the single type whosedeath rate runs higher in the ru-ral districts.

Deaths from smallpox aremore numerous in the countryand smaller towns. This is read-ily explained by the fact thatvaccination is more generallypracticed in the centers of popu-lation.

The facts of influenza are ofof exceptional interest; for themortality invariably runs higherin the country. This applies notonly to the great pandemics of1918-1919 and 1920 but to the so-called "normal" years.

Among the diseases of the cir-culatory system, angina pectorisseems to be the one conditionwhich generally (although notinvariably) records a higher ru-ral death rate. Among the di-gestive complaints the relativelyfew deaths caused by intestinalparasites occur mostly in ruralareas. After two years of age,diarrheal conditions are a moreserious problem in the rural dis-trict, in direct contrast to whathappens in infancy when the ur-ban death rate approximates 50per cent in excess of the rural.

Among diseases of the genito-urinary system, bladder com-plaints alone register higher ru-ral mortality. This is just theopposite to what happens for

May 15, 1925 Number 21

D. M. S. C. 0. Completes27th Year

Commencement, Thursday, May28th, will mark the official closeof the 27th year of the DesMoines Still College of Osteop-athy. It has been a year of suc-cess, accomplishment and prog-ress. Its termination finds thecollege on a higher plane scholas-tically, the faculty a chain ofspecialists, in their individualdepartments, without a singleweak link, and the student body,a group of serious minded, fun-loving young men and women,intent upon their purpose andthoroughly saturated with theundefeatable "Still Spirit."

The trustees have built upwhat we as a student body feelis the best faculty in the Osteo-pathic profession. Every mem-ber is a finished product, progres-sive and with the work of theschool and the student at heart.Devotion to profession and dutyis their uppermost consideration,and at all times have they beenfound more than willing to givefreely of their store of knowl-edge experience time and serviceto the student. No separate de-partment excels all are the bestavailable and the student bodyis more than ready to "tell theworld" that from the didacticstandpoint, old D. M. S. C. 0.tops the pile.

The past year has been one ofprogress and accomplishment. Aconsiderable amount of newequipment has been installed tofurther the service of our clin-ics and to augment the classroomwork of the students.

Never before in the history ofthe college has the Laboratorydepartment attained so high andstrong a position of complete-ness. For so important a phaseof our training as Osteopathicphysicians, it is only right thatsingular stress should be giventhis branch of the curriculum,and the students are highly ap-preciative of the vast improve-ments made by the trustees.

Our clinics for the past twosemesters have by far surpassedall previous years. They werebetter organized and more com-plete in detail. Clinics are thepractical work shop of the stu-dent, where he may put into ac-tual application the theorieslearned in the class room, underthe supervision of an expert, andthe college that does not fulfillthe necessities of this depart-ment is slipping. Throughout theyear there has been an abundanceof clinical material, Osteopathic,Obstetrical, Gynecological, andthe other clinics have not want-ed for patients. Close co-opera-

Stillonian DayWas Big Success

"Stillonian Day" proved to bethe most enthusiastic and com-pletely successful event on theschool calendar.

The program was kept a se-cret from the student body, andwhen they were all called to theassembly hall immediately fol-lowing their first-hour classeslast Friday morning, curiositywas raised to the Nth degree.The announcement was made thatthe "Stillonians" were to be de-livered immediately followingthe program, and the studentbody were "on their toes" fromthen on.

An excellent program had beenarranged for the morning; sev-eral selections by the RooseveltHigh School Band, an address byDr. G. A. Huntoon, readings, andharp solos, led up to the impor-tant part of the program.

Dr. J. P. Schwartz presentedthe school letter to the sevenmen winning it during the pastbasket ball season.

Then-Dr. S. L. Taylor, Presi-dent, and Dr. C. W. Johnson,Dean, were called forward andpresented with the first copies ofthe "1925 Stillonian," the great-est year book ever published byD. M. S. C. 0., by Stuart B. Dick-inson, Editor-in-Chief. In hispresentation speech, Dickinsonstated that "the three essentialsin publishing this year's annualwere: first, a faculty and studentbody who wanted the book andsupported it; second, a staff andassistants who had talent andwere willing to work; third, aprint shop equipped to do qual-ity work and rush it through.The Stillonian was fortunate inhaving all three." In closing hesaid, "The book will speak foritself, and if it were called agood book, the staff would feelamply rewarded."

An ovation was given at thistime, when a group of studentscame down the assembly hall,bearing the volumes of the Stil-lonian, which were immediatelydelivered to the anxiously wait-ing students.

Again the impossible has beenaccomplished. In face of consid-erable adverse comment, the staffhad compiled, published and de-livered, one of the best yearbooks in the state of Iowa, in theamazing time of less than sevenweeks from the day the idea wasfirst broached in chapel by Dr. J.P. Schwartz.

In the years to come, the firstFriday of the month of May isto be known as "Stillonian Day,"and at that time are the futureeditions of that publication tobe delivered.

Dr. J. J. Dunning, of London,England, in a recent letter to theLog Book, mentioned the need ofan Osteopath in Dublin, Ireland.

Osteopathy is quite well knownin that city, and according to theDoctor, "the man who left thereeighteen months ago made enoughmoney to retire."

Should anyone be interested inthis location, further particularsmay be had by writing eitherDoctor Dunning or to the LogBook.

Jack Voss was elected presidentfor the coming semester.

The semi-annual banquet inhonor if the graduating memberswas a success, and brought forthsome unusual oratory from mem-bers of the graduating class.

Stanley Evans and SherriffReed are representatives of At-las Club on the Pan-HellenicCouncil.

The members extend their sin-cere sympathy to Brother Ghostin his late bereavement. Broth-er Ghost had his Ford stolenfrom his back yard.

Inter-Class MeetWas Postponed

A steady downpour of rain ne-cessitated the postponing of theannual Inter-Class track meetfrom May 8th to the 15th.

However, when the fifteentharrived, it was still raining, andthe meet had to be called off.

In spite of the "dripping heav-ens," the three Inter-Fraternityrelay teams gathered at the fieldand ran the medley relay race forthe Sigma Sigma Phi cup. IotaTau Sigma crossed the line first,after Marlow, anchor man for theI. T.'s, had overcome a twenty-yard lead. It was a closely con-tested race, and all three organi-zations are to be congratulatedupon the work of their men.

For the winners, Wadkins ranthe hundred, Loghry the 220,Jones the 440, and Marlow thehalf mile.

The Inter-Class 440 yard relay,the only other event held, theSophomores came out victorious.Russell, Wadkins, Friend andLoghry did the work for theSophs.

(Continution betweerwork and threctly respoitional succesOne of theof the Geneplacing of tin every university, college, acau-emy and high school in the cityin the capacity of trainers andconditioners of their athleticteams. The students not only"worked out" the athletes, but al-so attended all minor injuries.Letters of commendation havebeen received from the athleticdirectors of all the institutions,and without exception they carrya theme of highest praise for thework done by the students.

The student body-that all-im-portant, determining factor inthe progress of any institution-is without equal. All classeshave shown a marked increasein numbers over previous years,and from indications, such growthis to continue. They are a clean-cut serious minded group ofyoung men and women, over fif-ty per cent of whom have hadprevious college and universitytraining, who are in D. M. S. C.0. for the sole purpose of becom-ing competent Osteopathic Phy-sicians, and who have the wel-fare of D. M. S. C. 0. and the Os-teopathic Profession uppermostin their hearts. From the view-point of accomplishments, thestudent body have been "on thejob" every one of the nine monthsof the school year.

An -honorary fraternity hasbeen installed for the purpose ofinciting the students to higherscholastic attainments; a Pan-Hellenic council for the purposeof fostering better inter-frater-nity relationsships and the bind-ing together in closer relation ofa group that will serve the col-lege.

The first annual Homecomingwas conceived and "put over" intrue D. M. S. C. 0. style. Majorathletic teams went throughhighly successful seasons of dif-ficult schedules. Traditions wereborn and developed to be handeddown through the coming classes.The "1925 Stillonian" was pre-pared and published in the rec-ord-breaking period of sevenweeks. Annual Stunt Day wasinaugurated, and throughout theyear a program of weekly assem-blies of the student body hasbeen most entertaining. Classfunctions, Freshman-SophomoreParty, Junior-Senior Prom, Post-Exam Jubilee and others havebeen held at the college with onehundred per cent attendance byboth faculty and student body.

There is an indefineable some-thing that permeates the atmos-phere of the college halls. It isthat "something" which binds thestudent body together, assuresconcerted action on all mattersfor the betterment and develop-ment of D. M. S. C. 0., and thatis responsible for the close de-gree of co-operation which existsbetween the student body, facul-ty and board of trustees-"That

S. S. Leviathanto Carry Osteopath

The S. S. Leviathan, the world'slargest and most palatial ship, isto carry an Osteopath, in addi-tion to the regular "Ship's Phy-sician."

The United States SteamshipCompany, owners of the greatliner, state that in order to givetheir passengers the "last word"in service, they must add.-the"Osteopath" to the ship's person-nel, as the passengers depend onOsteopathy at home to keep themwell, so they will look for it dur-ing their voyage.

Dr. R. A. Marks, of New YorkCity, has been selected to be thefirst to act in this capacity, andwill sail on his first trip May23rd. Four other osteopathicphysicians have been selected forsubsequent trips. Dr. Marks hascompleted arrangements with theMcManis Table Company ofKirksville, for the installation ofa McManis table in his quartersaboard the Leviathan.

In view of this action by theUnited States Steamship Com-pany, it is expected that the oth-er great companies will "followsuit," and that in the future theOsteopath will be as importanton the ship's roster as the "M. D."

Still Spirit."Such conditions existent in the

college today are indicative ofone thing only-the continuedgrowth and progress of the DesMoines Still College of Oste-opathy.

The Seniors are reluctant toaccept the fruits of their fouryears' labor on the realizationthat it means the end of theircollege days, and the undergrad-uates meet the coming vacationonly in anticipation of the yearahead of them.

"Before you let anybody, mas-sage expert, osteopath or "chi-ropractor," manipulate your spi-pal column, make sure the manunderstands his business. Scien-tific manipulation of the back-bone, freeing nearves from press-ure, and scientific osteopathygenerally, is of GREATESTVALUE, often making medicinesunnecessary and doing what med-cine CANNOT do.

But beware of the "overnight"graduate, who has failed at some-thing and decides that he willmake a living at twisting back-bones.

put up a beautiful silver lovingcup for the Inter-Fraternity med-ley relay race, an event of theannual inter-class track meet.

Ross Robertson made the pre-sentation in chapel, Friday, May8th, stating that the aim of thefraternity in putting up the cupwas to establish keener competi-tion and to insure the permanen-cy of the inter-class meet as anannual event on the school's cal-pndar.

The cup is to be awarded thefraternity winning the event, andis to remain in their possessionuntil the next meet. By winningthe event three years in succes-pion, the fraternity retains per-npanent possession of the trophy.

ATHLETIC LEADERS CHOSEN

"RACE" MYERS "MIKE" HANNON"

At a recent meeting of the squad, "Race" Myers, star tacklefor the past three years, was unanimously chosen to pilot the 1925aggregation. Myers has been one of the best defensive and offensiveline men the school has ever known and his election as next season'scaptain assures the college of one of the best teams in its history.

"Mike" Hannon, veteran on the basket ball squad was chosen

to lead the white and ;purple quintet for the coming winter. Mikeis a steady, aggressive, dependable player and with the support ofthe letter men from last year's squad, should have little difficultyin turning out a championship aggregation.

Student Meetings ForToronto

Extensive plans are being madefor the entertainment and re-ception of Students at the Na-tional meeting of the A. O. A.at Toronto in July.

Dr. F. W. Hilliard of Toronto,who is chairman of the commit-tee on arrangements for the col-lege students, writes that a largenumber are expected to -attendand that group meetings andother forms of entertainment, ofa nature that will appeal to thestudents have been arranged.

All students, who possibly can,are urged to attend. The workwill be highly instructive andenjoyable.

It is rumored that some of themighty seniors had to be removedin the ambulance, so great hadbeen their appetites.

Closing AssemblyVery Enthusiastic

The last of the regular Fridaymorning assemblies of the stu-,dent body, May 22, was one of themost enthusiastic meetings everheld in D. M. S. C. 0.

The Senior Class presented thecollege 'with large framed pic-tures of Dr.' S. L. Taylor, Presi-dent, and Dr. C. W. Johnson,Dean of the college, to be hungin the assembly hall. Also thelarge panel of the Class to behung in the lower hall.

M. S. C. O.would have a new building with-in the next year and a half. TheDean also commended the stu-dents upon their work duringthe past year and urged them tobring back new students. Toquote him, "Every man bringback a man, and every woman,two." Which left some doubtas to just what he wanted thegirls to bring back.

Coach Frank Sutton presentedthe Sigma Sigma Phi loving cupto the Iota Tau Sigma RelayTeam, winners of the Inter-Fra-ternity Medley Relay Race in therecent inter-class meet. L. H.Loghry, captain of the winningteam received the cup.

Drs. E. E: Steffen and J. M.Woods also made brief talks ofa congratulatory nature andevery speaker was highly opti-mistic towards the possibilities-of a new building.

Students! Here is your oppor-tunity to do something reallyworth-while. The entire yearjust completed has been one ofaccomplishment!

Central States MeetingBig Success

The annual meeting of theCentral States Osteopathic As-sociation was one of the mostsuccessful meetings of the year.A large number of practitionersfrom Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa,were in attendance the entirethree days of the meeting andthoroughly enjoyed the most ex-cellent program.

Every dcay was replete withclinics, technique demonstrationsand highly worthwhile papers bythe leading men and women ofthe profession.

Allen of Minneapolis,Dr. C. J. Gahdis of Chicago, Dr.Ella Gilmour of Sioux City, Drs.Goetz and Edwards of St. Louis,and Drs. Halladay, Bachman andTrennery of Des Moines.

The formal reception anddance was held following the'first day's meeting. The danceswere interspersed with enter-tainment which gave the partici-pants an opportunity to "take abreath" between rounds.

The most unique part of theentire program was the banquetserved the doctors on Thursaayevening by the Whole GrainWheat Co. The entire menu wasprepared from their products.Speakers at the banquet were:C. H. Woodward, Editor of TheMotive magazine, R. H. Williams,Ella Gilmour and C. J. Gaddis.

Following the banquet a num-ber of the Doctors attended the,commencement exercises at thecollege. Others attended theatreparties arranged by the commit-tee.

The convention was of consid-erable importance to the studentsespecially those who were inthe graduating class, as theywere admitted to all the sessionsof the meeting.

The committees on arrange-ment and Program are to be con-gratulated upon the work they,did. It was the general con-census of opinion that the Cen-tral States program will be sec-ond only to the A. 'O. A.

Osteopathy ExplainedThe following article was taken

from, the "Table Rock Argus,"the weekly clarion from Dr. JohnWoods' home town, in far anddistant Nebraska.

Robert Hickman Writes.Whiting, Kans., May 2, 1925.

Mr. Bill Ellis:-Dear Friend:-I am sending a

few of my friends a quiet littletip that in case you are ever in-duced to try an osteopath treat-ment through the influence of amisguided friend or your ownconvictions, be sure and takeether-(yes, take two shots).

Last week while loading wal-nut logs I had the misfortune towrench my back and the landladywhere I board advised me to takean osteopath treatment( and be-tween me and you, Bill, I tookit more to please her than forany faith I had in it). I noticedthis osteopath had a look in hiseye as I stepped in his office.He told me to strip while he un-folded a thing that resembledmy mother's ironing board, (hecalled it his treating table). Heordered me to sit down on theedge of it, he then took my rightarm and tied it in a knot aroundmy neck, took hold of my rightfoot and brought it around myleft shoulder and around undermy chin, hooking my big toe un-,der my right ear so it wouldn'tslip out of place While inthis position he took me by theneck like a chicken and swungme around until by back bonesnapped like a cattle whip. Hethen untied me and repeated thesame operation with the otherarm and leg until I yelped I waswhipped.: Then he had me layon my side and he took hold ofone of my hip bones, smiled downat me, took advantage of my dis-traction and suddenly bent myhip until something broke loosethat sounded like ice breakingup the river. Then he had melie on my face and he grabbedmy spinal column with both hishands, pulled it out as far as hecould and snapped it back likea rubber sling. He did this twoor three times, then got on myback and appeared to be walkingon me and pushing in the jointsof my rusty backbone with hisheels. He then went to the headof the ironing board, rolled meover on my back and as a grandfinale, secured one of StranglerLewis' famous head locks on me,twisted my neck and squeezedmy head until I saw one of theprettiest displays of fireworks

ever saw. I was just one min-ute and nineteen seconds break-ing his hold, but pealed the barkoff the back of both ears in do-ing so. He immediately clamped,on another, gave my neck atwist and yanked me to a sitting

position, smiled down at me andsaid, "that will be all for thistime." "Yes," I said, "that willbe all for this time, and the nexttime, and the next time afterthat, mister-there won't be anymore times. I am cured."

I have been whipped severaltimes, Bill, but this is the firsttime I ever paid a man to do it.I suppose my size didn't permithim to pull off anything butplain stunts, but I can't help butthink what a pleasure it wouldbe for him to get hold of a light-weight lige Jess Pierce or Earl

Irwin; what a wonderful oppor-tunity it would give him to pulloff fancy stunts in straps andtieing. I never did have muchfaith in this kind of doctoring,but I can't believe that any dis-ease could possibly help beingshaken loose and annoyed to aconsiderable extent by some ofthe knots he tied me in. In themeanwhile, Bill, I am so sorefrom the top of my head to mytoes, that every time the land-lady point her finger at me Iscream. Your friend,

Are Miracles No More?

Again miracles! Thousandsflocked to see a recent play inwhich a crippled piper under theurge of faith throws away hiscrutches and capers nimbly downthe cathedral aisle. Why didthey? Largely because every hu-man being has a leaning towardthe supernatural. And you? Doyou believe in miracles? Wheth-er you do or not, there are manythings happening during thesedays which cannot be brushedaside by mere scepticism. Hereare some well-authenticated in-cidents worth considering.

A boy of fourteen, blind halfhis life, was knocked senseless bya bolt of lightning which strucka wire fence alongside which hewas standing near his home atPenn Yan, New York. When herecovered consciousness he couldsee.

And here is the case of C. La-vier of Ogdensburg, New York,made dumb by shell-shock whileserving with the Canadian con-tingent in the World War. Ninemonths later the power of speechcame back to him in a thunder-storm which rocked the steam-ship on which he was a passen-ger.

Will Hall, stone deaf, of Sen-eca Lake New York, went to re-move a horse from a barn whilean electrical storm was raging.At the door he was dazed by aflash and then he heard a fright-ened neigh. Was he dreaming?He put his watch to his ear andlistened to its measured tick.When he spoke to Dobbin, trainedto follow his call, the beast paidno heed. Thor, the Thunder God,had given both balm and bane;He had made the man hear again,and the horse to be as deaf as apost.

Arthur L. Fitzpatrick of Pough-keepsie, New York, lost all trackof the past through a blow on theskull in an accident. His memoryreturned, however, when through;another mischance, he was thrownfrom a streetcar.

What explanation, for exam-ple, covers the case of the Rev.Dr. Daniel A. Polin, AssociatePresident of the United Chris-tian Endeavor Societies of theworld, brought to the highway of.recovery by the prayers of ' his"wife, after his spine was brokenin- an automobile collision?

From Duquoin, Illinois, thepastor of a Baptist church re-ports that a young woman of hiscongregation, speechless and help-less for six years on account ofa paralytic stroke, called backher faculties through her ownpetitioning for divine aid.

He believes that a modern mir-acle was wrought. Others saythat they have witnessed all nat-ural laws nullified in 'ways whichthey cannot understand. Theydeclare that real miracles arepossible even in the face ofdoubting science. Higher criti-cism, both in theology and medi-cine, has not shaken the belief ofmany that the .age of the wonder-worker has not passed. Who hasthe answer, then to this question,which like the ghost of Banquo,will not down?

Summer ClinicThriving

As usual the summer clinicsare doing a thriving business.There are quite a few studentsremaining in the city for the ex-tra work and it may be said thatthey are not being dissapointed.

In the general clinic, there isno let up on patients and thosewho are treating are kept busywithout the interruption ofclasses. The same routine of ex-

As a result, the aforesaidyoung ladies gathered togetherthat evening and enjoyed an ex-cellent bill at the local empor-ium of amusement, the Orpheum,and afterwards adjourned to theTwentieth Century Cafe, wherethey delved into the mysteriesof oriental Um-Gum, - beansprouts and Chop Suey.

Hey! Student!

Now that you are home, savingyour own money and spendingyour Dad's, how many prospect-ive students have you been ableto round up for next year? Keepin mind the fact that if we wantto get that new building beforethe millenium, it's up to us tofill the present one to the pointwhere the Board of Trustees willbe forced to erect a new struc-ture on our already crowdedcampus.

In seriousness, have you made aconscientious attempt to interestany of the young people of yourhome community in your chosenprofession? The college is morethan willing to co-operate in anypossible manner in aiding you inthis work. In another columnof this issue you will find com-parative tables regarding theclass hours, subjects, etc., of theClass "A" Medical, and Osteopa-thic colleges. Also the classhours of the Chiropractic course.

By bringing back new studentsyou are not only benefiting thelocal school and yourself but youare aiding in a material way theprofession as a whole and alsoevery other Osteopathic College.How many will you get?

An OsteopathicEducation

At the beginning let me statethat the purpose of this articleis not to criticise, deride or be-little either of the other two;professions in the comparison.Merely to set before the profes-sion and student body a faircomparison of the curriculumsof the different therapies for thepurpose of their information.The tables set forth in the arti-cle were prepared from the cat-alogues of the institutions rep-resented by Dr. A. W. Bailey ofSchenectady, New York, and ap-peared in the Journal of theAmerican Osteopathic Associa-tion, January 1925.

To quote Dr. Bailey: "In thepast twenty-five years there hasbeen a rapid advance in osteo-pathic education. The graduateof the osteopathic institution oftoday finds that his course of in-struction compares favorablywith that of the average "regu-lar" school graduate. The osteo-pathic physician is so well train-ed in all of the fundamentalsubjects, plus a thorough knowl-edge of modern methods of diag-nosis, obstetrics, surgery, com-parative therapeutics, and hos-pital training, that he is nowclamoring for admission to themedical boards of the variousstates, and for a right to takethe same examinations his allo-pathic brethren, and the sameright to practice general thera-peutics as other physicians. Thisfact the lay mind has notgrasped as yet, for many stillconfuse osteopathy and chiro-practic and think that these two"cults" deal in a similar manner-- merely in an advanced form ofmassage and spinal adjustment--and that chiropractic is simplya less expensive way of obtainingspinal treatment. The publicfails to recognize that an osteo-;pathic physician has had a high-school education, has earned inaddition certain credits for pro-fessional school admission incollege chemistry, biology, andLphysics; has had several years of"college training in many instan-ces and has then spent from four-to six years studying the art andscience of Osteopathy. In ad-dition, over twenty per cent ofthe graduates in recent yearshave spent a minimum of oneyear as interns in standard hos-pitals of the country, where theyhave come in contact with acutediseases in addition to the ex-perience gained from their clin-ical training while in college.

"The comparison is developedon the basis of Class Hours, aclass hour averaging fifty min-utes. While that medium of

comparison is not all-inclusiveit will afford a suitable workingbasis. The comparison will servea double purpose, first it willshow the public that in the edu-cation of an osteopath all medi-cal subjects are taught and inaddition the strictly osteopathicsubjects; and secondly it willshow that the chiropractic stan-dard is far below oteopathic."

For the table of comparison,Dr. Bailey chose five of the Class"A" medical schools of the coun-try and secured their catalogs aswell as the catalogs of the fiverepresentative Class "A" osteo-pathic schools. In the compila-tion of the tables it was neces-sary to group some subjectsunder one head to facilitate thework. However that does notinterfere with the resultantcredit to the individual institu-tion. The entire list of subjectswere then grouped under twentyfundamental headings. All spec-ial subjects which can not beclassified under a fundamentalgroup but which are required,are listed as "specials" alongwith all elective subjects forwhich a definite number of classhours are required for gradua-tion.

Classification of Subjectsin Groups:

Anatomy includes osteology,syndesmology, mylogy, angiology,slanchology, neurology, appliedanatomy, microscopic anatomy(histology), and developmentalanatomy (embryology).·Chemistry includes lecture and

laboratory courses in organic,physiological chemistry and tox-icology.

Bacteriology includes general,special and laboratory courses,immunology, infection, serology,and parasitology.

Pathology includes lecture andlaboratory courses, and autopsies.

Diagnosis includes physical,differential, clinical, laboratory,x-ray, and history taking.

Practice of medicine includessymptomatology and treatmentof disease, except pediatrics.

Physio-theraipy includes prin-ciples of osteopathy, technic ofosteopathy, comparative thera-peutics, osteopathic mechanic,applied osteopathy, hydrother-apy, electro-therapy, gymnastics,astino-therapy, and kineso-ther-*apy.

Chemical-therapy includespharmacology, drug therapy, pre-scription writing, materia med-ica, and internal medicine.

Gyneology includes lecture andclinical courses.

Obstetrics includes lecture andclinical courses.

Surgery includes anesthesia,principles, general surgery, spe-cial surgery, orthopedics, andclinics.

Preventive medicine includespublic hygiene, personal hygiene,and sanitation.

Eye, nose, throat includes oph-thalmology, otology, laryngology,rhinology, and clinics.

Pediatrics includes lecture andclinical courses.

Various interesting facts areobtained from this table. All

Clinical medicine includes gen- jects (but required hours) ethicseral dispensary hours, clinical economics, first aid and bandag-clerkships, and all clinical work ing, and other subjects.not included in above special Premedical (Not included inclinics. table) includes inorganic chem-

Also, examinationshows that in the chemical ther-apeutic group the total numberof hours is far less than it hasbeen in former years, thus show-ing the tendency of medical edu-cation to lessen the number ofhours devoted to drug therapy.This change has doubtless resul-ted from the success of druglessschools.

in medical schools is the greatnumber of elective course offeredin the fourth year.

1Make Every DayA Today - Day

(Roy F. Waring, in ArcadiaNews)

Procrastination is the thief ofTime!

Sure-you have heard it andread it many times-but honest-ly, now, did you ever take thetime to consider the proposition-and to determine just how thisold saying applies to YOU per-sonally?

In your profession - "TheGreatest Business in the World,-it can be truly said that timeis your greatest asset. But timeis an asset to you only if prop-erly used. It is of no value toyou whatsoever unless full ad-vantage is taken of this minute-this very hour this very day.The minute or the hour or theday that is wasted cannot by anyeffort of yours be recovered.Just that much time-and conse-quently its equivalent in "hardcash" has been thrown away. Ifyour records show that your timeis worth two dollars an hour itwould be no more foolish tochuck two dollars in the lakethan to waste an hour of yourworking time. Get that straight!

And yet, withal, we know thatprocrastination - the Thief ofTime -it is a deadly foe whichall Osteopathic Physicians mustbe prepared to meet-and con-quer. When Pep has a crackedspark plug - when Enthusiasmis missing fire on one cylinder-when Pride has ignition trouble

-and Ambition a flat tire itis mighty easy for an Osteopath-ic Physician to convince himselfthat today is the wrong day -but Tomorrow -Ah! that's thetime!

Nothing in the world but yourold enemy - Procrastination onthe job!

Yesterday is dead. Tomorrownever comes. TODAY you do-or don't do that which spellssuccess-or failure-for YOU.

"S. L." Laid UpDr. S. L. Taylor, President of

the college and Surgeon-in-Chiefof the Des Moines General Hos-pital had the misfortune tobreak one of the meta-tarsalbones of his foot while playinghand ball at the "Y" gym theother afternoon.

To a man as active as Dr."S. L.", the enforced inactivityis worse than a dose of poison.We all wish him a speedy recov-ery and trust that it will be buta few days until he will be ableto be around again.

Kill time and you kill yourpayeer,

More InsuranceExaminers

Dr. 0. R. Meredith, Nampa,Idaho, has been the medical ex-aminer for the Insurance Depart-ment of the Knights of Pythias,Nampa Lodge, No. 37. He in-forms us that he has no troublecollecting from the State Insur-ance Department of Idaho forwork done under the workmen'scompensation act, and under a

number of other accident com-panies. He has also collectedfrom the United States Reclam-ation Service. Thirteen yearsago Dr. Meredith was an exam-iner for the W. 0. A. in Nebraska.

Dr. Paul Sinclair of Lincoln,Nebraska, reports that he wasthe first osteopath appointed asan examiner by the Bankers Na-tional of Denver, receiving hisappointment in January, 1924.He was also made an examinerby the Service Life Company ofLincoln on April 5, 1924.

To date, our little friend-Cupid-has not been fortunatein piercing any Still studentwith his proverbial "pleurisy"darts. That is, to our knowledge.However, we are confident thatif you just give'em time severalof the boys will succumb andcome back in the fall, draggingtheir "ball and chain" with them.

In support of the above: PussRichardson toured back to EvansCity with Miss Irwin, (the onecalled Slim), in that big, black,powerful touring car of Woof-endens, for the purpose of meet-ing the "family." We have notas yet learned the instigatingfactor but Puss has secured ajob in Evans City and has writ-ten Austin, Minn., for his releasefrom the local postoffice.

The famous Casey-Jones duetare taking sumer dissection. Yes,brother, love will find a way.

Dick Gordon, pardon, Dr. Rich-ard Gordon, is dividing his sparemoments between the writing ofan excellent tale of adventure forthe 0. M. and the establishingof a practice in Madison, WiscePower to you, Dick.

A number of the recently grad-uated seniors, having sufficientlyrecuperated from the devastat-ing effects of State Board examshave accepted interneships. L. B.Hurt is at the Des Moines Gen-eral, Kosjack and Miller are atthe Crandell Health School inYork, Pa., Jaz Hoffman it at Del-aware Springs and Leonard is atDetroit Osteopathic Hospital.

Others of the class have loca-ted in various towns throughoutthe country.

Summer ClinicThriving

(Continued from page 1)amination and treatment arecarried out during the vacationperiod as during the school year.Any student, eligible of coursefor the work, is permitted to re-main and secure his treatmentcredits oi do extra work alongthis line.

The same circumstances pre-vail in the 0. B. clinic. With Dr.A. G. Prather acting as assistantfor the summer, the "gang" iskept on the run almost continu-ously. For example, on one ofthe hottest afternoons, a casewas in progress in Sevastapooland one in Highland Park at thesame time. Interesting to betwo places as closely (?) relatedat the same time.

Major and Minor surgical clin-ics are keeping up their end ofthe work as usual. Especiallyin the minor clinic, with thelocal schools now dismissed, anumber of cases are in for ton-sillectomies and the students de-siring this experience are keptbusy.

All in all, from the standpointof clinics, there is little varia-tion in D. M. S. C. 0. As somewise-cracker once said: "Patientscome, and patients go, but theclinic goes on forever."

The principal therapeuticagents of the osteopathic schoolsare the various forms of physio-therapy, and the total number ofhours in these subjects has takena decided jump from that of themedical schools, averaging 433hours of instruction. Courses indiagnosis, practice of medicine,obstetrics, gynecology, ,pediat-rics, and surgery, (courses whiclthe medical men are trying tconvince the public the oste--path knows nothing about) wil'be found in all these osteopathicschools with sufficient numberof hours of instruction to insurethe public that we are not "com-nmitting daily flagrant impcsitions on the fear of human suf-ferers due to lack of training inmedical subjects" as the laymind is being led to believe bymedical propaganda.

No better way of comparingthe actual existing state of edu-cation in the various schools canbe obtained than by examiningthe following summary table:

This comparison does not in-clude premedical subjects, suchas inorganic chemistry, zoology,physics, and so on, which are re-quired subjects for all admis-sions to Class "A" medical col-leges as well as to all Class "A"osteopathic colleges, nor ,does itinclude non-medical subjects.

For purpose of comparisoncertain liberties have been takenin classifying subjects of differ-ent schools into given groups,but in no case has the actualnumber of hours devoted to the

respective subject been changed.The approved standard of osteo-pathic education is four years-(now six years in two of thelisted colleges-of nine monthseach with graduation from recog-nized high school, and in addi-tion certain premedical creditsof college work as entrance re-quirements. The chiropracticcourse cited consists of the in-dicated medical subjects takenin a course of 18 months with nopreliminary educational require-ments. In many chiropracticschools, however, correspondencecourses may be taken if pre-ferred.

Study well the three tablesand derive the main points foriyourself. In that way they willstick in your memory much morefirmly than if they were to beprinted with this article. Clipout the comparative table forfuture reference and then whenyou are endeavoring to secure anew student or are explainingOsteopathy to a patient or to afriend you will have authorativematter to show them.

From what osteopathy hasdone for suffering humanity, i.hepublic no longer questions theresults that can be obtained. Thenext step is to convince the samepublic that an osteopathic phy-sician, with as high an educa-tional training as the averagemedical doctor can be relied up-on to diagnose correctly and totreat in a scientific and modernmanner all types of cases thatare in need of medical attention.
