Toronto MeetingA Record Breaker

The 29th annual convention ofthe American Osteopathic Asso-ciation was one of the mostsuccessful, from every stand-noint, the association has eversponsored.

A remarkable attendance ofapproximately fifteen hundredOsteopaths from all corners ofthe United States caused the res-idents and business houses ofToronto to take a "second look"at Osteopathy.

The mornings of the week weretaken up with General Sessions.Excellent papers on subjects oftimely interest to the professionwere read and discussed. Sectionmeetings held attention of thephysicians during the afternoonwhile social events were sceduledfor the evenings.

The Ear, Nose and Throat sec-tion enjoyed the largest attend-ance. An extremely well-bal-anced program and well conduc-ted clinics were the attractingelements. Each afternoon wouldsee two hundred or more pa-tients anxiously awaiting theirturn for examination by someof the foremost specialists of theprofession. In fact the amountof clinic material available forall section work was amazing inview of the legislation recentlypassed by Canadian parliament.

Exhibit space was completelysold out long before the conven-tion opened, and additionalspace was required for late ar-rivals. Three of the colleges

D. M. S. C. 0. SummerClinics Booming

The summer clinics at DesMoines Still college of Osteo-pathy are reaching large propor-tions. During the month ofJune, the obstetrical clinic hasaveraged ONE NEW BABY FOREVERY TWO DAYS OF THEMONTH. So for during themonth of July there has beenONE NEW BABY EVERY DAY.'In the surgical clinic for June.it has averaged 7.3 minor opera-tions each day or a total of 219for the entire month.

The students and post-gradu-ates attending Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy during thesummer months are extremelyfortunate in having the oppor-tunity of handling all of theseclinic cases.

Dr. Abegglen WritesFrom Tekoa, Wash.

Editor The Log Book,Des Moines, Iowa,

Dear Sir:I read every issue of "The Log

Book," and enjoy it.You may add my name as being

medical examiner for the Mac-cabees. I received my appoint--ment May 19, 1925. I have ex-:amined several applicants already;and not one has been turneddown. The chief medical exam-iner was told very specificallythat I was an Osteopathic phy-sician and surgeon. There is anM. D. in this town who examinesfor them also. I get nine out often examinations.

For the past year and a halfI've had no trouble collectingfrom the State Industrial Insur-ance. They tried to bluff me butI would not take the bluff.

I have never had any troublein my examining teachers either.In this state all teachers are re-quired to have an 'examinationeach year for any infectious orcontageous diseases. The stateissued cards for this purpose andhave M. D. and county and citvhealth officer all over them. Ijust scratch them out and putD. 0. after my name. I get bywith it.

Fraternally yours,W. E. Abegglen, D. 0.

Dr. George HurtWrites From Texas

PERSONALS

Dr. S. L. Taylor who was un-fortunate enough to break oneof the metatarsel bones in hisfoot, now has the cast removedand is back to the office again.He will leave in a few days onhis vacation at one of Minne-sota's many lakes. We are prom-ised a box of fish and are anx-iously awaiting its arrival. Forthat reason we are hoping thatthe Doctor is as apt with thepole as he is with the knife.

Dr. Robert Bachman and fam-ily toured to Toronto to attendthe National Convention. On hisway back he will stop in thewilds of northern Minnesota toreplenish his large supply of fishstories.

Dr. F. J. Trenery,: Mrs. Tren-ery and ,daughter, Marion, re-turned July 12th from the Tor-onto convention. Thev havebeen gone for three weeks priorand have enjoyed fishing in theMinnesota and Canadian lakes.It sepms as though Californiaand Minnesota are reaning quitea harvest on Osteopathic tran-sients from Iowa.

Business is evidently good inDes Moines as we look around atall the new cars sported by thecity Osteopaths. Dr. Marshallhas a new Reo sedan, Dr. Kleinhas a new Rickenbacher sedan,Dr. Trenery a Maxwell sedan andDr. Taylor a Packard sedan.They are all sedans, so when you

through the Texas State Boardand is now anxiously awaitinghis grades. Of course, we arenot in doubt a moment as to theoutcome of the Doctor's examin-ations, however he seems to feela little worried. Dr. Hurt saysthat he is in communicationwith ONLY twenty prospectivestudents for the Fall class. Here'sluck to the Doctor.

Dr. Hurt is some fishermanHe can catch them "where theyain't." In his letter he relates:"I've caught some fish since myarrival, but unfortunately thesun was alwavs under a cloudand I never had a chance to takea picture of the larger ones tosend back as evidence of my suc-cessful Walthonian pursuits."

NOTICE

Heretofore the college hasbeen put to the expense of fillingout application blanks and mak-ing transcripts of grades in com-plying with the request for BoardApplications. The amount is notmuch in any single case, but-when it occurs from five to ten-times a month it means that thefunds are being dispersed at therate of from ten to twenty dol-liars a month, which in the courseof a year amounts to consider-able and it can be easily seenthat, it does not go the the ad-vancement of the school. There-fore, no application or trans-script will be.sent out unless itis accompanied by a fee of $2.50payable to the college.

Dr. Cox, graduate of June,1923, class, is in Des Moines fora few days. He is now practic-ing in Canton, Ohio, and reportsprosperity.

Doctor Gets It"Coming and Going"

Every physician knows that thelife of a doctor is a hard one.Now, brothers, take cheer fromthe fact that it is also a shortone!

Reliable statistics, quoted byDr. Haven Emerson, of New York,from the records of the Metro-wan1;,, +a „ T Wf T- , _---_--_ r(,_---_-_-;ipu)Olltbn Llie iXnsuraince jomipaniy,show that, after the age of forty-five, there is a higher death ratefcr physicians than for personsof any other occupation. As tothe causes of death, the medicalprofession follows the-same gen-eral trend as the rest of thepopulation.

The doctor, because of therigid requirements of his callingnecessarily starts to practice hisprofession at a relatively latetime in life. Now, we find that,as a result of the hard life whichhe is forced to lead, a large sliceis cut off the earning period ofhis life at the far end also.

While doctors have increasedthe average length of human lifeby about ten years during thelast century, they have at thesame time shortened their ownlives.

Toronto MeetingA R cor- d Breaker

were represented by well appoin-ted booths in the exhibit hall.

From the standpoint of pub-licity the convention was ex-ceptionally well covered. Tor-onto papers seemingly vied witheach other as to the amount ofspace given the event. One ofthe large dailies broadcasted Dr.Chester Swope's (the retiringpresident), address and also thefirst of the series of HealthTalks given by Dr. Gaddis andDr. R, M. Nichols.

The series of Daily HealthTalks, conducted for the firsttime as a part of the ;program,were crowded at each meetingand succeded in bringing thetruth of Osteopathy into count-less Toronto homes.

All in all the convention wasa huge success in every depart-ment and should give an inspir-ation to the physicians in at-tendance to return home andenter into their work with agreater zeal than ever before.Highest praise is due the smallgroup of Ontario Osteopaths who,by untiring effort in the fale ofgreat obstacles, made the meet-ing possible.

Louisville, Kntucky, was chosenas the 1926 meeting place.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

Student EnthusiasmIs At a High Pitch

Never before in the history ofthe institution have so manystudents written back to our of-fice during the summer vacation.

Every mail brings many letterstelling us of their work and fun,and never failing to send fromone to several prospective stu-dents names. Strange to sav.they all feel the pull of D. M. S.C. 0. and after they were homefor a few weeks were all anxiousto get back to the college halls.Here are a few clippings fromsome of the letters:

Ole Olsen writes:"I have taken over a Doctcr's

practice for the summer. Haveeight patients scheduled for to-morrow. Between times I'mtalking D. M. S. C. O. to all ofthose looking like A-1 material.Here's hoping things are goingwith a 'BOOM'."

Ross Richardson says:"Boys from Detroit are work-

Shopes expostulates:"Better come up and see me

in Minnesota. Brainard is a'city' not a village."

Versatile Jo Bowman:"I'll sure be glad when school

starts. Vacation is fine but I'llbe glad to get back."

Dr. Jim Cochran:"Dear Comrades in Misery:-

erous investigations being madeelsewhere must also be broughtto light before any opinion iswarranted as to the future ofthis method of treating disease.Certainly the individual physic-ian who purchases such appara-tus and uses it in his practicemust do so with the distinctunderstanding that he is usingan unestablished method.-Jour-nal of the American Medical As-sociation.

The Facts AboutChlorin for Colds

When the announcement firstappeared in "The Journal" lastMarch, that Vedder and Sawyerof the Army Medical Corps hadbeen able to devise a method foradministering chlorin, in thetreatment of respiratory diseases,which seemed to have a distinct-ly beneficial effect in this classof ailments, it was received withexceptional interest. This in-terest was stimulated, no doubt,by the fact that high officialsof our government, includingeven the President of the UnitedStates. had submitted to treat-ment by this method and had ex-pressed satisfaction with the re-sults.

Immediately, individual phy-sicians, as well as hospitals andhealth departments, undertookto test chlorin administration ona large scale, with a view to es-tablishing finally its actual ade-quacy.

In New York City, Health Com-missioner Monaghan establishedtwo clinics under the directionof Dr. L. I. Harris, in charge ofthe Bureau of Preventable Dis-eases. Tkese clinics began activework June 1, and continued untilAugust.

The 'results of the experimenthave just been made availablethrough the health bulletin ofthe Department of Health of theCity of New York. Accordingto the report, only 6.5 per centof 506 persons with varous res-piratory diseases reported them-selves as cured, in contrast to71.4 per cent of 931 patients re-ported cured in the original pa-per of Drs. Vedder and Sawyer.

Fifty-three per cent of thepatients treated by the NewYork clinics reported improve-ment but the physicians incharge do not attach much im-;portance to such reports, since itis well known that patients withminor respiratory infectionstend to improve, by the very na-ture of such diseases. As is men-tioned, the report of the NewYork investigators concerns onlyacute cases, and the conclusionis that in such instances at leastthe claims are justified.

Much has been said of the useof the method in whoopingcough, but 18 cases of this dis-ease studied with 12 controlsfailed to show any appreciableadvantage of the chlorin methodof treatment over that previous-ly used.

The method was without ap-parent benefit in ashma and inhay-fever; indeed, three patientswith asthma became decidedlyworse under treatment.

The results of this controlledinvestigation are, therefore, suchas to deprecate definitely theclaims originally made for themethod by the Army medical in-vestigators. The physician isconfronted with a situation inwhich the original investigators,whose work seems to have beenconducted in a scientific manner,report excellent results whichother investigators working in-dependently have. failed to con-firm.

Obviously, the results of num-

Epidemic Still Ravages

The dread epidemic of "Sedan-itis" that has been ravaging themembership of the local Osteo-pathic profession has recentlyclaimed two more victims. Dr.A. G. Prather, who has been di-recting the activities of the Ob-stetrical clinic this summer, wasthe first to succumb to the hor-rible scourge and blossomed forthwith a new Oldsmobile sedan.

Dr. J. L. Schwartz, brother ofthe famous "Pinkey," followedsuit a week or so later with aCleveland coach.

A few of the remaining prac-titioners have been exposed andare expected to "break out" inthe near future.

More power to you, Doctors!

"Physical SoundnessBreeds Mental

Alertness"

No other profession requiresas sound a physical body as doesthat of the osteopath. Our veryscience is a physical one. Stu-dents entering Still College aregiven the opportunity to buildup the physical side of their ed-ucation. With the properamount of athletics mixed intohis school work, the student isalways more mentally awake andable to assimilate with greaterease the subjects making up hisscience.

Athletic prospects for the com-ing year are greater than ever.We expect to exceed the envi-ble records made in the past,

-: and,; :under --the -cap arble, coachi-ngof Mr. Sutton, 4he name "Still"will be found high in the ranksof sport.

A BargainAccording to the Rocky Moun-

tain Baker, Pat was another per-son who had his own ideas aboutmistakes. In fact, he couldn'trecognize a mistake when he sawone. He got a job in a depart-ment store and was fired the firstday. When he went home forsupper that night he told hiswife about it and seemed tothink she should try to consolehim.

"All I did," he explained, "wasto take a sign from a lady'sshirtwaist and put it on a bathtub while I was moving somethings around for the boss."

"Well, Pat, that wasn't so aw-ful, was it?"

"I don't know, but the signread, 'How would you like tosee your best girl in this for$2.98?' "

0. B. Clinic FlourishesThe annual summer rush on

the Obstetrical clinic has mani-fested itself with renewed vigor.Throughout the month of Junethe cases averaged nearly oneevery 2 days; during the monthof July the average was practic-ally one a day.

Comparatively few studentsare registered in the clinic thissummer and the few that are onhand are more than kept busyand prospects; for abundance ofNew cases are registering dailymaterial for the coming semes-ter's clinic are exceptionallybright.

Dietz and MungerAbroad

Two recent graduates of ourhonored institution are seekingsurcease from four years hardstudy before entering upon thestrenuous task of opening anoffice, by joining the OsteopathicCrusaders on their Europeantour this summer. The follow-ing was received by the college,purported to be a "week" fromDora Dietz' diary.

Monday-Everybody came downto see me off. Everything islovely.

Tuesday-Am having a finetime. Met the Captain of theship.

W: ednesday-Captain tried tokiss me. I indigantly refused.

Thursday-Captain is wild withanger. He says that unless Iconsent, he will blow up the ship.

Friday-I saved the lives of500 passengers.

Female Physicians

The following article, underthe above caption, appeared inthe Nov. 23, 1867, issue of Har-,pers Weekly. Familiar as we aretoday with the "Female Physi-cian," it is interesting to readof the attitude of sixty yearsago toward a modern common-place.

"A grave question has beenagitated for a long time in thiscountry which is beginning tomove the social elements in Eu-rope, respecting the propriety ofhaving medicines prescribed byfemale medical practitioners.While some argue against it asa monstrous perversion of ,pro-fessional custom, others have theindependence to say a dose ofmedicine may produce its speci-fic effects just as well whengiven by a doctress as a doctor.Very much the same kind of war-fare has been proclaimed bymedical colleges against the med-

The Philosophy ofOsteopathy

Osteopathic hands, more sen-sitive and skilled than a sur-geon's, will detect, diagnose, andadjust slight or gross disturb-ances, whether in a lame foot,hip, or mind, and send them upthe path with freedom, ease andgaiety. It will correct a rib orvertebra that has been the primalcause of pain and disease foryears.

As with the power plant in thehills, if it is to turn the wheelsof commerce and afford heat andlight, there must be a free andgenerous amount of water com-ing to it and racing through it;there must be no damming backnor congestion. So with the hu-man machine, there must be afreedom of the circulating fluidto nerve centers and all parts, ifthere is to be power function innormal measure. The osteopath-ic physician does not heal, hejust works with these naturalforces as an expert engineer ofthat house of a thousand won-ders, the human body.

Fundamental :are all of thesebody mechanics, but osteopathicadministration do not stop there.Food, natural food, for .naturalfolks, naturally combined andrationally eaten, sunshine thatactivates, stimulates and heals,exercise that overcomes, developsand fortifies, rest that restoresand rebuilds, play that addschance, change, and diversion,thinking that quickens and keepsalive-these are all part and par-cel of osteopathy; they all playin the normal functioning of theman.

Prophylaxis-preventing trou-ble, keeping folks fit, savingthem from nervous breaks, heartfailures and the factors thatmake for cancer this also is itsfield.

Osteopathy means living to thefullest measure of life's possi-bilities, and to do this it mustsomewhere contact infinite sour-ces of power. It means mind,body, and spirit in right adjust-ment within, without; growing,developing, functioning in happyorder-creating, achieving, re-ceiving and giving, .enriching,rejoicing - the whole beingcrowding into full bloom andfruitage.

Osteopathy, or any science,cannot overlook any of these vi-tal factors or stop short of them,if it is to be a complete system,or science, equal to humanity'sneeds.

This, then, we declare, is thetheory and practice - the aimand philosophy of osteopathy.-(An 0. M. Editorial in AugustIssue).

THE LOG BOOK

Hats Off to the Past,Coats Off to Future

Last convention featured agreat celebration -an anniver-sary, rich in history, progressand good work. There werehome-comings and reunions; re-miniscences and eulogies, especi-ally of him who had a great vis-ion, discovered, developed, sacri-ficed, and followed unfalteringlythe star set before him. Andwithal, a remembrance of theheroic co-workers-some of themdeceased-who helped to carryon to successful achievement. Itwas a week unforgettable and in-spiring, with a program to fit.

But in this, our twenty-ninthannual convention, we came to anew center outside our domain,under a new flag. Here we em-phasize first the missionary in-terest that must reach aroundthe world. With this we shallendeavor to educate osteopath-ically a great sector of ourneighboring country. We shallnot be so many in number, butwith a scientific program unex-celled, the whole work will begiven over to the making ofbetter doctors.

But We Must Do Some-thing More

Too often there have come toour very door great opportuni-ties for the enlargement and thefulfillment of our plans, but be-cause of some petty jealousies,narrowness, selfish bigotry, orsloth within our ranks, these op-portunities that would haveplaced a college, a clinic, or ahospital on a high plane for richand broadening service have beendiscouraged and driven away.

But what concerns us now isn'tthe water that has already goneover the dam without turning awheel, but the present opportuni-ties which were never more hope-ful.

Our colleges are getting nicelyunder way, our hospitals, clinicsand sanitariums are beginning totake on definite and permanentform. East, west north andsouth we are awakening to thefact that our own men and in-stitutions are able and equippedto care for our own, or our pa-tients' needs. As a result, weare beginning to give these in-stitutions more generous support,which will make for theirgrowth and permanence.

Because of our renewed vision,sensoe of self-preservation, andthe readiness to co-operate, theselighthouses for osteopathy overthe land are beginning to growand increase in number. Wherepetty-mindedness still obtains,general progress is nil, exceptfor a whine or a wail which per-haps is better than desuetude.Our friends and the public ingeneral are not slow to note ourstatus and there are and will beother Philip Grays, who hungrilywait to serve in no small waythe cause we represent. Firstwe had to do something ourselves;and now are we not ready, asofficials, state and national, andthe general membership to beginto venture a little farther? Asan example of what can be done,note New York's clinic and otherlike efforts; Los Angeles with

her new hospitals; also KansasCity; Lancaster with a lay so-ciety of five hundred women; andKirksville with her civic awake-ning to the tune of nearly $50,-0000 for the next three years,this sum to come from the citi-zens of that city, and be spentin advertising osteopathy. Theseare signs of the times not to beignored. Less than three yearsago there was a $12,000 deficitin our national association, andnow we are more than $50,000 tothe good. A 10,000 circulationfor our lay magazine and now100,000, this accomplished witha comparatively small percent-age of co-operation from our pro-fession. Shall not these thingsbegin to awaken and stimulatethe other segments of our battleline?

What if we are only 6,000 to8,000-that's enough to make aGideon Band and tear down oldwalls of ignorance and prejudiceand build better ways of life andhealth.

First An Enlarged ResearchInstitute

Here lies the great need-sup-pose we could knit up most ofthe activities already started inour research work. There wouldbe little difficulty in securingmen and money necessary, forthere are in our organizationthose who have achieved and ac-cumulated for themselves whohave friends to join in and sup-port them in whatever they areback of. Most of these activitiesat the present time are in theWest. With this nucleus weshould be abhl to runt on oUnrseafter course of graduate work,or a post-graduate research col-lege which would give us moreinternal strength, unity, and pub-licity than any venture under-taken.

We have lines of influencereaching out to other sourcesand to other institutions whichwould no doubt co-operate with)us in a way to make us more thanwe have ever been-a recognizedfactor in humanity's welfare.These scientific fundamentalsstudied and worked out will veryreadily bring recognition fromthe men who are turning theirminds toward our field and ask-ing for our evidences. While wehave much to present to them,yet we have all too little that isproved, with which to answertheir inquiries.

Whatever else we do, this wemust do, not simply to meet theinquiries of science, but to holdthat fine body of thinking mindsin our colleges and fortify ourown understanding as well asmaking us all better osteopathicphysicians. This forward moveshould now be undertaken on alarger scale, or we begin to driftas a few in our organization havealready shown disposition to do.

Country Doctors

Dr. William Allen Pusey ofChicago called attention to areal and important problem inhis address before the AmericanMedical association in Chicagorecently, but what he urged as asolution is no solution at all. Tosupply small towns with a prop-

Concerning Examiners

Quite inadvertantly, the LogBook uncovered a mass of inter-esting and valuable information.In a recent issue, a clipping fromthe A. 0. A. Journal was printedunder the heading "More Insur-ance Examiners." Since that is-sue was mailed the Editor has re-ceived numerous letters from allparts of the country stating that"so and so has acted in the ca-pacity of examiner for such andsuch a company for some timeand has met with considerablesuccess."

It is indeed gratifying to learnof the vast inroad the professionis making into this "sacred"field of endeavor of our Medical-ly inclined brothers, and the edi-tor would urge every Osteopathto write in stating the companyfor which he is examining andalso the length of time he hasbeen with that company.

By the collection of facts ofthis nature, company after com-pany will come to recognize theOsteopath as a competent andworthy examiner.

er number of physicians butsending them out half-baked bylowering the standards of train-ing would only be an exchange ofevils.

The fact of the matter is thefund of knowledge has so in-creased that adequate prepara-tion in four years is more im-probable today than was rela-tively adequate preparation inthree years before present stand-ards were established.

The larger rewards of speciali-zation are depleting the flow ofrecruits to the field of generalpractice. The small town fieldparticularly is suffering, for herethe general practitioner has beenin special demand. The hours ofsuch a physician are long, hislife is irregular and the demandsupon him are as broad as thebounds of the whole medical ,pro-fession. It is not surprising thatmany young doctors avoid thecountry entirely while others useit merely as preparation for citywork. But lowering the medicalschool standards is not going toresult in any real improvement.

Dr. Pusey may be right whenhe says that medical service istobogganing toward breakdownor revolution. Revolution maybe the solution. The countrypractice probably needs to bereorganized into a clinical serv-ice which can utilize fully theyoung men under direction of theolder and more experienced. Theearly years which often have ahigh percentage of lost time thuswould be turned to practicalaccount. The older men could berelieved of some of the complex-ities, detail and exactions ofpractice and a degree of special-ization would be possible. Thelarger rewards justifiably hopedfor in mature years could bereadily available. The countrypractice in this way could bemade more inviting and moreserviceable. .

The solution of the ;problem isa reorganization of service, notretrogression in the standard.

Female Physicians(Continued from page 1)

ical education of ladies, as theallopaths have practiced towardthe new school of innovators onthe good old monopolists, by thehomeopathic brotherhood. "Offwith their heads," is the cry; "noone has any business to be pro-gressive in our department ofscience." That was the objectionto Gallilee. He disturbed thelearned expositors of the Mosaiccosmogony when he announcedthe sun to be a common centreabout which the earth revolved.

Notwithstanding the most de-termined hostility to the de-mands of the age for female phy-sicians, institutions for theireducational preparation for pro-fessional responsibilities are rap-idly multiplying. . The ball firstbegan to move in the UnitedStates, and now a female medicalcollege is in successful operationin old foggy medieval London,where the favored monopolizersof physic and surgery were re-solved to keep out all new ideasin their line by acts of parlia-ment. But, alas! The ice-wallsof opposition have melted away.and even in Russia a woman hasgraduated with high medicalhonors. Female physicians areincreasing rapidly, and theirservices are sought for by theirown sex, as they should be, withthankful hearts for such balm inGilead."

Mrs. Robinson and Rosemaryhave both taken a brief respitefrom their arduous summerwork. From the way prospectivenew students have been comingin, it will be necessary to put ona new steno to handle the corre-spondence. Ten were in the firstmail delivery this morning.

Drs. J. P. Schwartz, Steffen,Spring and others of the all-starfaculty are on the job daily asusual. It seems they cannot findtime for a much-needed vacation.

From all indications, the year1925-26 is going to be the recordbreaker in the history of the col-lege in all departments. All thestudents who have written induring the summer express theone thought that they are anx-ious to get back to work. All areexceedingly optimistic in re--gards to new students. If one-half of the aforementioned pros-pects materialize, the buildingwill be packed.

Insult SupremeThe great editor was dying.

The physician leaned over himwith a stethoscope, listened afew moments and then rose sad-ly.

"Poor man," he announced."Circulation almost gone."

With an effort, the editor lift-ed his head.

"You're a liar!" he proclaimedweakly. "Over four hundred thou-sand, and gaining every day."

"Hey, bozo, why don't you brushyour shoes once in awhile?"

"There's no hair on my shoes!"

PUBLISHED SEMI-MONTLY BY THE DES MOINES STILL COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY

Volume 3 August 15, 1925 Number 3

Freshman Class To BeRecord Breaker

a

A conservative estimate of thepossible Freshman,. enrollment forthe coming year has been placedat one hundred. Without doubt,the actual matriculation figureswill go above that mark, judgingfrom all angles.

Never before in the history cfthe school has the "prospective"

-mail- been so heavy-- -r- so en-thusiastic and positive. Theabove estiamte is based on actu-alities and not guesses. Fieldmen write in and state, "My manJones will arrive in Des Moinessuch and such a day, please seethat he gets located in goodshape." Students write that theyare bringing this or that newstudent with them.

Nothing could be more encour-aging than the letters of theabove type. The life of theschool, and the profession, de-pends upon "new blood" in theform of new students. Each suc-cessive year the freshman en-rollment has shown a markedincrease over the preceding year,which indicates the advancementof the profession, the loyalty ofthe alumni, the reputation thecollege is building for itself, andthe spirit of the student body.

Such growth will undoubtedlydemands expansion, and expan-sion means a new building. Witha new building the college wouldboom! Field men send a newstudent from your home town!Students-bring back a new stu-dent with you!

Dr. William Everett Montgom-ery, more commonly known tofriends and associates as "Mon-ty," the popular assistant in the0. B. Clinic, has returned froma varied summer's activities inGrove City Pa. On his returnMonty brought back Gladys withhim. Gladys is Mrs. W. E. Mont-gomery in private life. Montytook the fatal step on June 4th.More congratulations!

Jones: "I hear your wife hadan accident with the car. Any-thing damaged?"

Smith: "Oh, no, just a littlepaint scratched off both."

Extensive StudentActivities Planned

For 1925 - 1926With the functions started last

year as a working nucleus andthe new features already in pro-cess of formulation, the com-ing school year will be repletewith student activities.

Student functions are one ofthe most important factors incrystallizing student spirit, andwhile we are confident that theschool spirit that was in evi-dence last year cannot be sur-passed by any of the other Osteo-pathic colleges, we are confidentthat the coming year will bringthe student body into even agreater unification.

Aside from athletics, the An-nual Stunt Days, regular chap-els, Freshman-Sophomore Push-ball Game, Homecoming, Fresh-man- Sophomore Party, Junior-Senior Prom, Post Exam Jubileeand Stillonian Day, are the fea-tures of the calendar of studentactivities that are at presentplanned and worked out for thebenefit and enjoyment of thestudent body.

The Pan Hellenic Council, Sig-ma Sigma Phi, the women's so-rorities are the organizationsthat are backing the work.

There is no reason why D. M.S. C. 0. should not have as com-plete a program of student eventsas any other college, and if thestudent body will get behind theidea with the same indomitable,spirit as manifested last year,we will have them.

New CustodianThe Secretary announces the

appointment of a new custodianof the building and campus forthe coming year. Mr. GeorgeLeidy is on the job already, and

a word to the wise get ac-quainted with George!

Hillery Honored

One of the men behind the biaToronto Convention was Dr. W.Othur Hillery. As secretary ofthe Ontario Organization Com-mittee he worked like the pro-verbial "galley slave" to putthings over big and he did, asall the delegates at the conven-tion realized.

At the election of officers forthe A. 0. O A., Dr. -Hillery - waselected a member of the Board ofTrustees, a position of honor andresponsibility. He deserves thehonor, and we have no doubt hewill faithfully shoulder the re-sponsibility.

The Ontario Association of G:--teopathy evidently believe ingiving Dr. Hillery lots of work,for they elected him vice-presi-dent, secretary of the LegislativeCommittee, and chairman of thePublicity Committee.

Treatment of Seasickness Per-fected on Crusade

According to a letter recentlyreceived from the D. M. S. C. 0.alumni who are members of theOsteopathic Crusade, Dr. JosephSwart of Kansas City has devel-oped the following treatment forsea-sickness:

"Sea-sickness is due to a dis-turbance of the semi-circularcanals. Ordinarily they are notused to any great extent. Themotion of the boat throws anextra load on them which theywere too delicate to bear. Thesub-occipital muscles are foundto be contracted, tilting the headupon t The e Atlas. Correction ofthese lesions produces instantrelief."

No doubt the Doctor had am-ple opportunity to try out hismethod of treatment on acutecases during the passage over

IMPORTANT NOTICEThe Log Book again calls the attention of the student body and

all prospective students to the matter of registration. The regularday for beginning registration is SIEPTEMBER 8. Class work willbegin the following week. The college officials are urging upon thestudents to take advantage of early registration owing to the factthat new rules and regulations are in effect this Fall. There is nonecessity for anyone to be caught napping and have delinquent feesto pay.

CO NSOLIDATED TUITIONThe Board of Trustees anounce that the tuition for the college

year 1925-26 will be $225.00, which will include all fees, with theexception of breakage and damage to property.

This is the first time that the Board have attempted the con-

DEAN D. W. JOHNSONUnder the generalship of Dean

C. W. Johnson, the famous all-star faculty of D. M. S. C. 0.is impatiently awaiting thewhistle which will start them offon another semester of 'poundingthe truths and fundamentals ofOsteopathy into our hard heads,which, believe me, is some job.

The faculty of D. M. S. C. 0.has no outstanding individual orgroup of individuals. It is nota one or two man organization,but a group of serious minded,highly trained men and women,each a specialist in their depart-ment. The members of the fac-ulty are sincere in their desireto teach the kindred subjects ofOsteopathy and the Physiciansgraduated from the college aremonuments to their endeavors.

The faculty remain intactwith the" same personeli as lastsemester with the addition of Dr.M. B. Lovegrove who will havethe department of Public Healthand Sanitation and Dietetics.

Too much celebrating has keptmany a man from becomingcelebrated.

Nearly everyone rememberswhat Sis Hopkins said about-"there ain't nothin' in doin'niothin' for nobody that ain't,doin' nothin' for you." That is:the reason a lot of Osteopaths-never have very large practices.

The following exerpt is takenfrom a letter from Dr. E. T.Eades, graduate of the May, '25,class.

<"I passed the Iowa, Virginiaand West Virginia boards O. K.and recently received my certi-ficate to practice. At presentI'm looking after my brother'spractice as he and his family,Dr. Jas.

The Gold Cure forTuberculosis

Dr. MIollgaard of Denmark hasreported some apparently satis-factory results from the use ofa salt of gold termed sodiumauric thiosulphate, the trade-name of which is "Sanocrysin."

This remedy is being investi-gated by the United States Pub-lic Health Service and in a num-ber of scientific centers. Littlecan be said about it at presentexcept that men of high scienti-fic reputation in Denmark be-lieve that it has value, but it isstill in the experimental stageand should not excite any falsehopes. Indeed, the use of thisremedy is fraught with consider-able risk of damage to the heartlungs and kidneys, following theinjection of the salt. To over-come this effect-which is thotby some to be due to reactionfrom destruction of large num-bers of tubercle bacilli-a serumhas been prepared. It has beensuggested that the favorable re-sults reported from some of theexperiments are due to a com-bination of these effects ratherthan to the effect alone of thegold salt.

The preparation cannot besold in this country until it islicensed by the United StatesPublic Health Service, and allthose interested should awaitthe preliminary report fromthat source.

Further, reports from Denmarkand England with regard to theeffect of this remedy will doubt-less also be shortly forthcoming.In the meantime, people suffer-ing from this trouble should fol-low the lines of treatment thathave been so successful in cut-ting down the tuberculosis rate;namely, fresh air, sunlight, rest,and proper nourishment.

Whooping cough cause a great-er number of deaths in Denmarkthan any other infectious dis-ease. Danish physicians andscientists therefore have devotedmuch time to the study of thisdisease. Dr. Thorvald Madsen ofthe Danish Serotherapeutic In-stitute, lecturing at Harvard,said that the institute has per-fected a means of establishinga diagnosis of the disease in itsearly stages. Its studies havealso shown that after five or sixweeks practically no whoopingcough bacilli are 'found. As aresult Danish children are nowkept from school only four weeksafter the beginning of the spas-modic cough. A whooping coughserum was found to have littlepreventive effect, but vaccina-tion was found to lighten the in-fection and decrease the mortal-ity to a considerable degree.

Ray MacFarland, of the Fresh-man A class has just completeda pleasant two weeks at the an-nual Iowa National Guard En-campment.

Mrs. K. M. Robinson, Secretaryof the College, is back "on thejob", after a brief vacation oftwo weeks.

The Unaccommodating PillA doctor brought a dyspeptic

farmer a big brown pill. "I wantyou to try this pill at bedtime,"he said. "It's a new treatment,and if you can retain it on yourstomach it ought to cure you."

The next day the doctor calledagain. "Did you manage to re-tain that pill on your stomach?"he asked eagerly.

"Well, the pill was all right aslong as I kept awake," said thefarmer, "but every time I fellasleep it rolled off."

No Half-Way MeasuresA colored woman entered a de-

partment store and asked forsome black underwear.

The clerk told her that she hadnone of this somber hue in stock,but could supply her in aimostany other shade or color.

"It's black or nuthin', younglady," declared the dusky cus-tomer. "It's jus' gotta be black,das all. You see, my man jes'crossed de river Jordan, and whenI mourns-why, I mourns allover."

A man who had been broughtup in a country village, but whohad moved to the city, was visit-ing the scenes of his childhood.He happened to meet a boy whowas considered a little "off," andthought that here was a goodchance to find out from him aboutthe people he used to know.Among others he chanced tomention the name of an oldschoolmate. "Why," said theboy, "he has been married sevenyears and has twelve children."

"Twelve children!" exclaimedthe man. "How does that come?"

"Oh," said the boy, "they hadthree to oncet, two to twicet,and one a good many times."

First Englishman: "Charley,did you hear that joke about theEgyptian guide who showed sometourist two skulls of Cleopatra-one as a girl and one as a wo-man?"

Second Ditto: "No, let's hearit."

We had a guest for dinner theother night, and all of us weretalking about how we loved goodcoffee. Father was especiallyenthusiastic and said:

"I make it fresh every morn-ing. I get up early and builda fire in my pajamas."

"They must be warm for sum-mer," said the guest without asmile. "What are they made of-asbestos?"

NERVE. The greatest humanasset. It puts a whistle on thelips, "pep" in the blood, strengthin the vertebrae, and spunkthroughout the homo.

Pull vs. Push

Where one man succeeds thrupull ninety-nine succeed thrupush.

The driving wheels of a loco-motive are not the front wheels.The front wheels of an automo-bile guide, but the back wheelspush. Wherever power is found,something is found pushing.

The blade of corn does notcome into this world becausesome person pulls it in; but itgets here because it pushes. Agood way to kill corn is to pullit up by the roots. Many a manhas been injured by too muchpull.

The steam that moves the pis-ton rod does not pull it, but getsbehind and shoves. A crowbardoes not pull an object -it getsunder it and pushes. All life isA pushing thing. Press down asapling, torture it in any con-ceivable way, and instead of giv-ing up, it will proceed to pushits way 'round or over the ob-stacle.

Put a plant in a cellar and itwill not complain about lack ofpull but will do its best to pushits tendrils in the direction of*the sunlight.

Push is the sun of human en-deavor. It made Edison, Roose-velt, Mark Twain and a thousandothers. Pull never made anyman. Push is the Almighty inmnan!

Smoke This One

More than thirty years ago, Iheard Col. P. Watt Hardin sayin a political speech down inKentucky-: "I'm for my country,against any country, my stateagainst any state in my country,my county against any county inmy state, and my town againstany town in my county, mystreet against any other streetin my town, and for my side ofthe street against any otherside." If you don't feel justthat way about the branch oftherapy you are practicing -about the college you are. attend-ing- GET OUT!

A story is told of a judge whoannounced his intention to sen-tence a culprit to at least eightyears at hard labor in state'sprison, but was ready to listento anything he might say in hisown behalf. After a moment ofconsideration the offender spoke."Well, I don't know ez I've gotanything to say, only this: Itstrikes me you folks round thishere Cote House air purty tol-erble libearl with other people'stime."

EDUCATION

Education does not mean teach-ing people what they do notknow. It means teaching themto behave as they do not behave.It is not teaching the youth theshapes of letters and the tricksof numbers and then leavingthem to turn their arithmetic toroguery, and their lieraturte tolust. It means, on the contrary,training them into the perfectexercise and kingly continence of

their bodies and souls. It ispainful, continual and difficultwork to be done by kindness, bywatching, by warning, by pre-cept, and by praise, but above all-by example.-John Ruskin.

"Look! There's a car parkedin this lonely road. Can it bemotor bandits?"

"Nope, that's the old parlorsofa two generations removed.-Judge.

Crusaders HavingEnviable Trip

The following letter was re-ceived from Drs. Dora Dietz andZoa Munger, two D. M. S. C. 0.graduates who have been enjoyingthe Osteopathic tour of Europe.THE PEEBLES HOTEL HYDRO-

PATHICDear Editor Log Book:

The party of 114 OsteopathicPhysicians, who left Montreal,Canada, on the Metagama, ar-rived in Glasgow on July 22, hav-ing had a voyage of eight daysdown the noble St. Lawrence andthe Atlantic. For their benefit,the briny deep was quiet andcalm as the old Des Moines river,and no casualties were reported.A few unfortunates felt a bitgroggy when we actually got intodeep water, but they soon adjust-ed themselves and fully enjoyedtheir trip.

So far we have visited Glas-gow, the Lake country, the Tros-sachs, Peebles, Edinburgh, pass-ing through the small villageson the route.

Cathedrals dating back to 1181,castles which have withstood theravages of centuries, houses hun-dreds of years old, customs hav-ing been handed down for gen-erations, all arouse our admira-tion and awe.

The guides are all good Scots,and we must follow closely inorder to understand them whenthey tell us what it is all about.

Since landing in Scotland wehave seen rocks enough to paveevery road in Iowa. Our onlyregret is that it is not near theplace where it could be used tosuch good advantage. The resultof so much material so conven-iently located is the best systemof roads we have yet seen. It isa joy to ride over them.

Today in Edinburgh we had ourfirst welcome from 'the BritishOsteopathic Association. Dr. Mac-Donald met us at luncheon, andwe had a very inspirational halfhour before leaving on the after-noon trip. Dr. Gaddis respondedin his usual happy manner.

The big occasion of our jour-ney has been reserved for ourLondon visit. We are promisedsomething good.

So far the trip has been- inter-esting. We have seen Scotlandfrom so many angles. We areimpressed with the neat cleanli-ness of the towns the prim flow-er beds which are set with greatcare by one who has a definitepurpose in planning for a widevariety of brilliant color. Thegenerous supply of moisture fromScotch mists makes for beautyof color that is not excelled inthe states.

In the iparty is a 74-year-oldmother of one of our Osteopaths.She is an inspiration to those ofus who become weary. Her stockof pep is unlimited. Three smallgirls about six years of age, allleft orphans and each adopted bya 'different family in our party,are very lively, interesting mem-bers of our crusade.

One-third of the party is com-posed of men. Five women andone man are from Iowa. This

While we are enjoying beauti-ful scenery and nice cool weath-er, we are wondering whether youare having the usual swelter ofan Iowa summer.

We have just passed throughWigain, the home of Miles Stand-ish. The entire trip has beenfull of just such points of in-terest.

DORA DIETZ,ZOA MUNGER.

TORONTO OR BUST!(WE DID BOTH)

To recite all the events of ourtrip to Toronto to attend theInternational Osteopathic Con-vention would require too muchtime and patience on the partof both of us, so for the benefitof those who made the trip thisyear and those who contemplatea similar trip, we will follow ourusual custom in traveling or writ-ing, that of hitting the highspots.

Sunday, June 28. Left DesMoines with five good tires andfive good passengers, the Halli-day family and Don Baylor, stu-dent and famous editor of theLog Book. Iowa City furnisheda stopping place at noon forlunch. Don ate two sardine cansand accidently swallowed the topof the thermos bottle, afterdrinking the contents. We allpassed at the Palmer Schoollater in the afternoon. Crossedthe river and spent a restfulnight among friends in Fulton,Illinois. Let us add here thatDr. and Mrs. B. J. Snyder, theabove mentioned friends, earnedthe eternal gratitude and highesteem of the writer for theirhospitality. It would take pagesto cover our thanks for the foodconsumed by our wife and DonBaylor. Egad! Methinks theyacquired in some uncanny man-ner, stomachs, of india rubber.Lest I forget to mention it againmay I add that this eating stuntbecame a regular part of our

act, as others along the roadwho offered us -food will readilyaffirm.

Monday, the 29th. Arrived inDeKalb, Illinois, in time to putthe feed bag on at the home ofour uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs.W. L. Shank. Dr. Shank is anM. D., but he poisoned neitherour bodies nor our minds withhis drugs. His good wife pro-vi,ded us with much food and wewere on our way. The nightfound us in South Bend, Ind.,-(the Capitol of the World).

Tuesday, the 30th. Dr. LonRousch spied us early and wewere soon joined by Dr. Olsen,much to his regret. Oly woreout four pair of shoes going backafter more flapjacks for Don.After wedging Don into the carby means of a shoe horn and acrow-bar, we were on our way.The car sagged badly on thatside but we arrived at Toledolate in the afternoon and huntedup another uncle and aunt, Mr.and Mrs. George Brenneman, whotook care of us and as usual,food disappeared.

Wednesday, the 1st. We hada hunch it was to be a bad day.We had some bad luck in Lor-aine, Ohio, and Euclid avenue,Cleveland, held us up. We havedriven over the Rockies, butEuclid avenue has the worldbeat. Stay away from Clevelanduntil about 1932. They tell usthat they will have the road incondition by that time. We re-fused Dr. Dale Pearson's hospi-tality at Erie, Pa., for the night,and snDed on to Fredonia N. Y.

Thursday, the 2nd. An earlystart put us in Springville, N. Y.in time for a train on which topark the Mrs. and children, boundfor Bradford, Pa. Don and thewriter hauled anchor and turnedour wearing threads towardsBuffalo. Here we picked upsome baggage and made for Ni-agara. The late afternoon and

evening were spent (togetherwith some small change), seeingthe sights, sighting the seeing,and at the wet end of the bridge-see illustration. Instead of be-ing called "four point four" itshould be "four disappoint four."

We are still sore about that 60cwe spent there. We were for-tunate in seeing the Falls illu-minated by colored lights. Theyare beautiful at any time, buttheir enchantment is marvelousas they are painted in every col-or combination. Those viewingthe falls at night stand silent.Words fail. We rested that nightat a hotel in Lewiston on thebanks of the Niagara.

Friday, the 3rd. A clear, coolmorning made the early boattrip across the lake ideal and wejust lounged back and relaxed.The boat arrived at Toronto atnoon.

May we here pay tribute toDrs. Jaquith, who so kindlyturned their home over to usduring our stay. We were givena key to the -house and told tomake ourselves at home. Doninsisted on spitting on the floorthe first couple of days, com-plaining that the ceilings weretoo high. We refuse to com-ment on his style of snoring, ex-cept that it begins with an im-itation of the water leaving thebath tub, rises to a high-pitchedFord chatter and ends somewhatlike a peanut wagon whistle.

We went to work in the after--noon. Collected material for thebooth for the college and starteda three-round battle with theCustoms for possession of ourLog Books. The fight ended in adraw. We drew the Log Booksand they drew about thirtyberries from our fast-dwindlingexchequer.

Fridav nip'ht we attended a:lperformance of "A School forScandal." Don stood up with therest of us at the end of the showand sang "My Country 'Tis ofThee" and still wonders why theold woman next to him gave himsuch a dirty look.

Saturday, the 4th. Not asound except the ordinary busycity ones. Believe us, we willtake our Fourths not in 4.4 butin U. S. A., after this. That isone day we jointly agree shouldbe celebrated on the home field.Amen.

During the convention weekwe were busy at the booth and invarious parts of the convention.If you were not there you misseda fine program, both from thestandpoints of instruction andentertainment. We met manyold friends, quite a few of ourstudents were present and weredelighted to make the acquaint-ence of many new ones, all ofwhom contributed to our enjoy-ment of the week.

Friday, the 10th. Don's balland chain wires him. Exit Donvia R. R. This leaves us alone.

Saturdays the 11th. Startingat noon we made Sarnia, Ont., bynight.

Sunday the 12th. Hesitated atMt. Clemens, Mich., and sawBlondy Hair and Sherwood Nye.Spent a delightful hour with theinternes and Dr. Trimby at the-Detroit Osteopathic Hospital.Some chicken dinner they putout there. Left soon to try tomake Battle Creek by night.Four miles north of Ypsilanti oursteering gear broke, and we wereaided by the presence of an ad-

jacent bank rather than the usu-al ditch. After getting hauledin we made the acquaintance ofDr. Garret.

Monday the 13th. Took all dayto get a new part from Detroit. -,

Tuesdty the 14th. Out of Ypsi.Said '/Hello" to Dr. J. J. New-man at Jackson and on to BattleCreek. Entertained royally byDrs. Manby and Riemann at noon.Landed at a Roadside Home atFrankfort (on-the-main), Ill ;Aside from the sputtering of aone-lung gas engine trying tokeep up with a nickel-in-the-slotpianny until about 1 A. M. wewere not disturbed.

Wednesday the 15th. Left ear-ly and pulled into Fulton, Ill.,the home of Dr. Snyder of earliermention, about 2 P. M. Talkedten minutes and assured him thatwe would be in Des Moines thatnight. Two miles west of Clin-ton, Iowa, which is just acrossthe river from Fulton, a Fordcoupe driven by a decidedly un-steady hand, picked off our leftfront wheel. This caress threwus over to the left side of theroad, but as our good luck wouldhave it, we remained upright.Not a scratch physically, but OhBoy! what a dent it made in outreligion. The driver of the Fordwas not so fortunate. His carnosed into the ditch and he suf-fered a bad horseshoe cut on thescalp. We immediately appliedbandage and sent him in to thenearest hospital for repairs. Ev-iidence was collected, a witnesssecured, two photos taken and 'other precautions. We werehauled in again and the damagerepaired. And so, we were theguests again of Dr. Snyder fortwo and a half days. We havea wide acquaintance in both Clin-ton and Fulton now, especiallyamong city officials, lawyers andreporters.

Friday the 17th. Left Clintonin the early afternoon and spentthe night in Iowa City.

Saturday the 18th. Arrivedhome about noon with one goodtire and one fair to middlingpassenger.

And so closes the log of outrtrip. We accomplished what weplanned. Even more than weplanned. 'The "bust" part ofthe trip was not primarily on theprogram. We did advertise theD. M. S. C. 0. all the way acrossthe country and we brought homethe bacon in the way of somegood prospects and some actualstudents. We enjoyed the tripand will see you in Louisvillenext year. We are having sometrouble in classifying the trip,It was avocational, for touring isour hobby. It was vocational,for Osteopathy is our business.It was vacational, also, so it musthave been all three.

P. S. The Editor gets the last-cut at this and will probably adda note to the effect that thewriter is all that the writer saysthe editor is. The editor is allthat the writer claims he is, ifnot more so. But after all hemakes a wonderful cigaret light-er, and we missed him greatlyon the return trip.

Osteopathy at theIowa State Fair

The Des Moines branch of the0. W. N. A. with the assistanceof the Des' Moines Still Collegeworked up one of the best ex-hibit booths at the state fairthis year.

The booth, located with theother colleges of the state, underthe ampitheatre, was tastefullydecorated with the college col-

-ors- photographs of classes andpennants of the various GreekLetter organizations in school.

On the table at the front ofthe booth were ample supplies ofvarious pieces of Osteopathicliterature, the Osteopathic Maga-zine, the Log Book, the catalogueof the college and the 1925 Still-onian.

Miss Ava Johnson, daughter ofDean Johnson and former mem-ber of the D. M. S. C. 0. fac-ulty, was in direct charge of thebooth and was assisted in themornings by Dr. H. V. Halladayof the college and in the after-noons by a member of the 0. W.N. A.

It is surprising the number ofinquiries concerning Osteopathyand the college that were re-ceived at the booth. A numberof prospective students were se-cured thru this medium whichprobably would not have beenreached otherwise. Numerous in-quiries relative to the good to bederived from Osteopathic treat-ment of different conditions, par-ticularly nervousness and. pneu-monia. The attitude of the pub-lic at large was highly favorable.

The Halladay Spine was themain drawing card at the booth

nrld m qny anrl ci unrry were thequestions Miss Johnson had toanswer, truthfully or otherwise,regarding same.

As this is the first time Osteo-pathy, the college, or the localorganizations, have had an exhib-it at the fair, those responsiblefor the booth are to be congratu-lated upon the sucess attained bythe endeavor and it is hoped theprecedent they have establishedby their industry will continueand that in the future no oppor-tunity for such a display will beoverlooked.

The fellow that turns over inbed when the alarm goes off andsleeps away the thirty minuteshe should make use of in refresh-ing himself with a bath, a shave,shoe shine, should for the goodof his firm permanently remainin bed.

You've got to be a straightshooter if you expect to hit themark.

Back Once More---

IMPORTANT NOTrr ICEThe Log Book again calls the attention of the student body and

all prospective students to the matter of registration. The regularday for beginning registration is SEPTEMBER 8. Class work willbegin the following week. The college officials are urging upon thestudents to take advantage of early registration owing to the factthat new rules and regulations are in 'effect this Fall. There is nonecessity for anyone to be caught napping and have delinquent feesto pay.

Consolidated TuitionThe Board of Trustees anounce that the tuition for the college

year 1925-26 will be $225,00, which will include all fees, with theexception of .breakage and damage to property.

This is the first time that the Board have attempted the con-solidation of fees and tuition and it is predicted that the plan willmeet with extensive favor throughout the profession.

The above sum is practically the same as last year, consideringthat it covers all laboratory, athletic, dissection, and other numer-ous fees which heretofore have been assessed individually.

Clinics Busy; Pre-SchoolRush Now On

There has been no let up on theclinical activities of D. M. S. C.0. as the time comes for openingof the school year. Throughoutthe summer the handful of stu-dents staying over have beenkept on the jump handling thelargest summer clinic the collegehas experienced for some time.

The Obstetrical Clinic underthe direction of Dr. A. G. Pratherhas more than flourished duringthe past few months. Ordinarilythe month of August is fairly"light" in this particular depart-ment, but not so this year. Al-most every other day would findsomebody hitting for the "sticks"with the kit.

The surgical clinic at the hos-pital has also been extremelybusy. Especially at this time ofyear, when the parents are anx-ious to have the childrens' ton-sils and adenoids out before theschol year starts and yet want toput it off as long as possible.Approximately thirty to sixtycases go through the clinicevery Tuesday, thursday and Sat-urday.

The General Clinic has alsocome in for its share of the sum-mer burden, the hot weatherseeming to have no effect on thepatients. By the time schoolopens this particular 'departmentwil be more than ready for thereturn of the student physicians.

Seconud Annual Home-Coming Date Fixed

The second annual home-com-ing of the alumni of D. M. S. C.O. will be held October 16. Themain feature of the day's enter-tainment will be the annual foot-ball battle with the strong BuenaVista aggregation.

In view of the success of lastyear's home-coming it is expec-ted that the attendance will bedoubled this year. While it is.impossible to make announce-ment of program at this earlydate start to make your plans,to attend NOW! Dr. "Pinky"Schwartz will be in charge of alldetails and arrangements, so youmay be confident that the eventwill be the best ever staged.

Mark the date on your calen-dar OCTOBER 16, D. M. S. C. 0.HOME-COMING!

Will you BE THERE? Yea BO!

I encountered ,a barber theother day who knew about thecause of strikes and the politicsof the world, but he knew verylittle about barbering. I'm notgoing there again.

THE LOG BOOK

The Doors' OpenYea Bo! The door is open-

steps are polished, all in honorof the returning students.

The office force are wearingtheir best smiles-receipt bookshandy and pencils sharpened.

In fact, everything is in readi-ness for the opening of the great-est school year old D. M. S. C. 0.has ever experienced. A numberof students have already arrivedand others are coming in daily.Everyone is full of enthusiasmand anxious to get "at it" againafter the summers' vacation.

Many and varied are the re-ports on summer's activities.Doc Green, senior A, has beenworking in his father's office fora part of the time.-Joe Rader,senior B, has been telling theworld about Pictorial Review asthe library table center piece.Jones, of junior class and Stein-grabbe have been coaxing wheelbarrows at the new electric plantout south of town during thewarm weather-Jones looks verymuch like old Johnny Levi,-haven't seen Steinny but hear heis just about the same shade. -OleOlesen has been taking care ofsome doctor's practice in SouseBend, Ind.,-Butcher, senior B,has been holding down the meatmarket as per usual.- "Red"Groves has been cutting meat forthe Red Ball stores.

With the actual opening of the1925 football season drawingnear, Coach Frank Sutton andCaptain "Race" Meyers are r arin'to go!

A squad of at least seventygridiron aspirants should greetthe coach on the first night out.considering the great amount ofmaterial returning from lastyear's squad. Some high schoolstars of the first magnitude willregister as soon as the books openand will give the veterans a bat-tle to retain their position onthe Varsity.

Coach Glenn Devine ofParsons reports the prospects ofan all-star aggregation whichwill make the Purple and Whitego some to come out with thelong end of the score. However,with the available amount of ex-perienced material to start outwith, Coach Sutton is confidentthat the Bonesetters first battlewill be a real one.

Stop, look and listen when youcome to a railroad track,-butquit doing it when you come towork.

A real boss is a man it's hardto tell from the fellows that areworking for him.

Down in Virginia a Negro wasbrought before the Judge forchicken stealing or some similaroffense. The Judge asked him ifhe had any children.

"Yas sir, Judge," replied theNegro, "I'se got a boy."

"What's his name?" asked theJudge.

"His name is Weatherstrip,Judge."

"Weatherstrip? Why where didyou ever get that name, Sambo?"

"Well, Judge, it was disaway.Dat boy was born just before dewar and he kept me out of dedraft."

Due to an accident, Mrs.Spreaditt was spending a fewdays in the hospital. -.

Uh Huh!A student had been spending

somewhat too freely and wasshort. It was near the holidaysand he hated to write home formoney. As a last resort he de-cided to pawn his dress suit.

When the time came to leavefor home, the suit was still un-redeemed. He hurridly scrapedup cash enough to get it back,packed it in the grip, and wasoff.

At home his mother was help-ing him unpack.

"Henry," she asked, "what isthis ticket on your coat for?"

"Why, mother," he replied, "Iwent to a dance the other eve-ning and had my coat checked."

She continued putting away hisclothes. Finally she lifted histrousers. They, too, were tick-eted.

"Henry," she exclaimed, "whatkind of a dance was that?"

Osteopathy Without Iimitationl

In-Between

"Be not the first by whomthe new are tried

Nor yet the last to laythe old aside."

Poe was engaged in his favor-ite pursuit of rule making whenhe wrote those lines; he was tilt-ing his lance at the impudent en-croachment of new words uponliterature. But his lines are notonly applicable to a choice ofwords, they are exactly descrip-tive of a widespread and greatlyvalued creed. They might havebeen uttered by the goddess ofthe In-Betweens, herself.

For the In-Betweens make upthe vast expanse of mediocritythat lies between two pinacles.They are never to be found withthe courageously new or the cour-ageously old. They never riskridicule and failure to realize anew idea, and they have neverbeen so filled with enthusiasmfor an established conceptionthat they defend it spiritedlyagainst an upstart theory.

They pursue a far more caut-ious course. When the pioneerhas braved the pitfalls and hassmoothed the way, they followin his tracks and make their lit-tle harvest. When the strong-holds of the old regime begin tototter, they unobtrusively maketheir getaway and so escape thedisaster of the final collapse. Infact, nothing in life means somuch to them as their ownsafety.

Obviously, it is futile to pro-test against the supine In-Be-tween. He has his little part toplay. But it is difficult to ig-nore the hardily growing tend-ency to glorify him. When theman who "plays safe" is voted, asmart and worthy citizen, and theman who has never differed fromhis neighbors is voted a soundone, spiritless mediocrity seemsto be getting more than its due.

that black eye?""A bridegroom for kissing

the bride after the ceremony.""But surely he didn't object to

that ancient custom?""No but it was two years

THE LOG BOOK

The Germ's Own Germ"Small fleas have other fleasto bite 'em," declares the poetAnd in like manner, the germsthat produce in us the symptoms

of disease may have fatal diseas-es of their own, produced in turnby smaller parasites. Obviouslyit is worth our while to cultivatethe acquaintance of these enem-ies of our own foes, and this hasbeen done by their discoverer, aFrench bacteriologist, and byothers. Writing in L'Echo deParis (Paris), Dr. R. de la Vaulxgives interesting particulars ofthis discovery and its possible re-sults. We read:

"What is the smallest size thata living being may have? It seemsthat we are far from an answerto this question, and that everyday should bring new surprizes.The time is far gone when theameba was considered as themost simple of living forms, andthe bacteria themselves are nowdethroned. A considerable ob-stacle, it is true, seems to limitthe field of discovery. The mostpowerful microscopes do not al-low us to distinguish an objectless than two ten-thousandths ofa millimeter long, and the wave-length of light forbids all hopeof going further. We shouldthen have to give up all hope ofknowing living beings smallerthan these dimensions, if the in-genuity of scientists had not suc-ceeded in avoiding the difficulty.We now not only know of beingssmaller than a wave-length oflight, but we may study them,cultivate them, count them, andmeasure them."Of all these infinitely smallcreatures, the most curious andinteresting, on account of the ser-vices that it may render us,would seem to be the bacterio-phage,discovered and studied by

Sightless OsteopathsOrganize

Another event of interest atthe national convention was theorganization of the sightlessOsteopaths. Following a lunch-eon given by the Canadian Na-tional Institute for the Blind,Dr. E. J. Gray of St. Thomas,Ont., spoke on the subject, "TheSightless Members of The Osteo-pathic Profession."

Dr. Gray pointed out the greatadvance which the blind havemade during the last ten years,so that now through schools,workers' associations, libraries,etc., new fields and new oppor-tunities are daily opening, thereal affliction of blindnesss isbeing removed, and sightless menand women are becoming a realasset to the nation.

In Dr. Gray's opinion, this wasthe first occasion of a nationalprofessional association givingofficial recognition to the sight-lesss among it members, and he.expressed the belief that Osteo-pathy has probably opened thegreatest field yet placed beforesightless men and women. Anorganization was formed with thefollowing officers: President,Charles Carruthers, Vice Presi-dent, Clara Owens, Secretary-Treasurer, Murial Anderson, Ex-ecutive Committee, in additionto the ,above officers, David Lit-tle and E. J. Gray.

Measures were taken to estab-lish a Bureau of Information tobe associated with the AmericanFoundation for the Blind and theAmerican Osteopathic Associa-tion, through which any school,association, or individual in anycountry, might receive authenticinformation concerning Ostecpa-thy as a treatment for Blindness.

To Think

It is reported that Harvard isplanning a curriculum to makeStudents think. As only about:3 per cent of the people are saidto think at all, efforts in thecause of thinking are not to 'bederided.

Thought - original thought,which plunges boldly into un-.charted regions is distinctlyunpopular. We use certain fac-culties of our mind to go thruprescribed routines, but for themost part we find it easier tolive by habit than bv thought.

We work by certain methodsbecause others work by thosemethods. We accept them with-out question. The method be-comes a habit with us, and whenit does become a habit, we nolonger question the worth ofwhat we are doing or if there issome better way of going aboutit. If we do it competently bythe methods laid down for uswe think we are pretty capablefellows and sink contentedly intoa permanent lethargy.

The member of the thinking8 percent is a sworn foe of habit.If he accepts an established the-ory or method he accepts it withreservations. While he employsit, he plans to reconstruct it, toStrengthen its weak points andto shapen its strong ones.

It is true .that not everyonecan think constructively and or-iginally. But many of us a-resuch dulled slaves of habit thatwe do not rouse ourselves to fol-low the advances made by thetrail blazers among us.

So, though snickers may arisefrom the skeptical, we applaudthe directing powers of Harvard.If ten undergraduates are taughtto think to the extent that theymay recognize and profit by theachievements of the mental pace-makers, the game is worth thecandle.

Genius, according to anotherdefinition, is an infinite capacityfor giving pains.

Never mind about theories,opinions and speculations; getthe facts. There is no substitutefor knowledge.

Success: That which expandsthe hatband of youth and thewaistband of middle age.

A lot of trouble nowadaysgrows out of someone's insistenceon making his conscience yourguide.

THE BONNINGTON HOTELLondon

August 5, 1925.

Dear Editor Log Book:American Osteopaths have in-

vaded London. Their advent wasofficially celebrated at a banquetat the Savoy hotel, given by themembers of the British Osteo-pathic Association. We arrivedhere on July 28th and were atonce shown the famous landmarksby Frames Tours. After severalhours in the Tower of Londonand after the recital of manygruesome tales of intrigue. ex-ecution and murder we were gladto get outside, even if it wereraining, and thank our luckystars we were citizens of thegood old U. S. A., living in an agewhen the prevailing and popularindoor sport was not the separa-tion of a man's body from hisupper cervicals.

Tate's Gallery, WestminsterAbbey, British Museums, Bart'sthe mother hospital of the Em-pire, Guy's hospital, HamsteadHeath, Wembley Exposition, Ox-ford, House of Parliament, arebut few of the attractions whichmade our visit attractive. Shop-ping between times, hunting theelusive bargains, has whiled awaytime when Frames were not tak-ing us about in their large char-abancs.

Fortunately for us, we arrivedin time to participate in the an-nual convention of the B. 0. A.Their membership consists of 43Osteopaths. Among them is Dr.Ethel M. Webb who graduatedfrom old Des Moines Still in 1923.They are well organized and arebusy on legislation which willgive them legal recognition andprotection. The King, Queen andLord Mayor of London sent tele-grams of welcome Which wereread at the banquet. These mes-sages were considered great aidsin the furthering of Osteopathyby the B. 0. A. The newspapersare giving them every courtesyand are generously allottingspace to the reports which aregenerally very accurate.

Our members of the A. 0. A.are finding themselves very busyin demonstrating treatment andlecturing before the convention.The time of meeting of the B. 0.A. has been extended several daysin order to give a better oppor-tunity to hear them all.

On August 7th, the Osteopathspaused longe enough in theirsight-seeing to place a wreath offlowers on the base of the cento-path, commemorating the "Glor-ious Dead" of all nations. The oc-casion was quite impressive andwill be long remembered. Belowis a brief statement which ap-peared in the London Express onAugust 9th. It was written byDr. W. C. Dawes, the famousAmerican Osteopath who hasbeen very favorably received bythe British press. The caption:"Give up cooking and Live 100years" attracts attention at once.The doctor has eaten nothing butunfired foods for four years. Hesays he is now ten years youngerthan he was four years ago. Hegives his heart an annual vaca-tion. On the regular diet theheart rate is seventy-two, on anunfired food diet the rate is six-ty. The saving is 6,307,200 beatsa year or a rest period of twomonths. The preservation ofgood looks should make the eat-ing of unfired foods popular withwomen.

Forward Pass DownsBonesetters

Parsons College of Fairfield de-feated the Bonesetters last Sat-urday afternoon in- a hard-foughtstruggle, 12 to 0-a score thatdoes not begin to tell how evenlymatched the teams were.

The visitors had an advantagethroughout the first half in whichthey scored their first touch-down, largely as a result of along forward pass, but the Bone-setters came back in the lasthalf and with off-tackle smashesplayed Parsons off their feet.Parsons second touchdown cameduring the last eleven seconds ofthe game as the result of twocompleted forward passes.

Standing ou. as the shininglight of the contest was CaptainRace Myers of the Osteopathswho mixed in every play on thedefense, and was a big part ofthe offense. The playing of Rus-sell and Shaw in the backfieldand Walker and Sheetz in the linewas the outstanding feature ofthe Bonesetters, while Hanks,Lawson, Wise and Maasdam werestars for the Wildcats.

Still's only chance to scorecame early in the second halfwhen Russell, the diminutivequarterback, made an eight yardgain on a wide end run followedby a series of smashing lineplunges by Shaw which nettedthree -first -downs,,- Capt ain MVyersthen attempted a place kickwhich was blocked by Maasden ofParsons and recovered.

Fac-tories are scattered all over thecity but do not detract from thebeauty, as nearly all of them aremade very neat and attractivewith vines and shrubs and evenlawns and flower beds.

He al-so had the student body renderthe college song for their benefitand stipulated that they learnsame and become sufficiently ex-pert to render it from the chapelplatform on the following Fridaywithout urging or direction.

Following the above admonit-ion, the Dean invited all mem-bers of the faculty who werepresent to the platform that theymight be introduced to theFrosh On inviting them to speakthe Dean made the ruling that ifany should attempt to exceed atime limit of five minutes, thestudent body should groan voici-ferously.

As a result when Dr. RobertBachman, the first speaker, ap-proached the wabbly but honored"pulpit," he was greeted with aprolonged groan. However hewas undaunted and gave the ganghis customery concise greeting.Dr. John Woods was next andpaved the way for Dr. Geo. Hurt,who appeared in an extreme ton-sorial smartness with his hairparted in a high degree of geo-metrical symetry. Coach Suttonfollowed and then Dr. Steffenwho feared he could not do muchin five minutes. Dr. Virge Hall-aday then introduced all of thenew students who are registeredin the upper classes and Dr.Pinky Schwartz announced thedate of the Second Annual StillCollege Homecoming and thetrip to Kirksville.

In order to comply with theforty-five minute ruling the as-sembly had to be adjourned atthis point.

September 25th was the dateof the second assembly and afterthe song fest indulged in by thestudent body the Freshman Bwere escorted to the platformamidst the applause of the upper-classmen and rendered the col-

you say, my love."

Her (as clock strikes two):"Don't go, Homer. Tell me, howlong have you loved me?"

Him (wearily): "For three con-secutive hours and I mean to tellyou it's darn hard on the arms."

Lives of Football men remindus

How they write their namesin blood;

And departing, leave behindthem,

Half their faces in the mud.

Now He Knows What's WhatA boy named Jeremiah HicksCame from a place they called

the sticks;He was an awkward, lanky lad;His speech and grammar was

quite bad;Of etiquette he had no store-He knew enough to live-no

more.

But when a year had passed away,He'd changed a bit so you would

say-His nonchalance, his easy poise,Amazed and saddened city boys;He knew each passing fad and

whim;The classy girls all fell for him-The secret-have you guessed it

yet?He read the book of etiquette.

It's often the truck a fellowdrinks that causes the limousineaccident.

Pretty soon the 1:30 a. m. radiowill broadcast: "Has anybodyseen my husband?"

HEALTH

Under the above caption thefollowing newspaper clipping washanded in:

A splendid suggestion fromthe Ohio Public Health Associa-tion which urges everyone tohave a thoro health examinationon his birthday.

Railroad equipment is inspec-ted after every run and at cer-tain intervals is given completeoverhauling.

The wise motorist is careful totee that his car is gone over fromtime to time to insure that allparts are working properly.

Yet we do not give our bodiesthe same degree of care that wedevote to machinery.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Co.is first of all a business concern.But experience teaches it thathealthy men can convert theirlabor into profit for the road.

So it has announced that it willpay the expense of having each ofits employes put thru a completephysical examination each year.

The work of the above natureand the idea of the article is notaltogether new nor is it confinedto commercial enterprises. Thelocal Osteopath can, and in agreat many instances does, ren-der the same service for the pa-tients in his private practice.

Employes health problems arerapidly becoming of major im-portance to the large manufact-urers and the Osteopath is train-ed and qualified to render asefficient, if not more so, an ex-Amination as his medical brother.

Go to it, Osteo's.

Are You Looking for aLocation?

Dr. S. W. Itvine of BeaverFalls, Penn, writes: "Do youknow of any fairly smart Osteo-paths, (no dumb-bells) recentgraduates or otherwise, that arepot located or engaged in prac-tice and who might wish to gainsome practical Osteopathic ex-perience in a place such as I havewhere they have a chance tolearn the modus operandi of var-ious physio therapy and sanitar-ium treatment. I could use afellow now for several months,or longer if satisfactory. Penn-Sylvania state board not neces-sary."

Brenner Out for Season

Lloyd Brenner will be out ofthe game for the balance of theseason because of injuries re-ceived in last Saturday's battlewith the Parsons Wildcats, is thestatement given out by Dr. J. P.Schwartz, the athletic manager.

Although the first game of theseason, Brenner had the edge onother aspirants for the pivot po-sition and his loss will be great-ly felt by the balance of theBonesetters front line defense.

Steingrabbe and Wally" Walkerhave been working out in thecenter position and the ultimatechoice will probably be one ofthese two men. Of the two, Wal-ker has the greater amount of ex-;perience, having played a starguard and tackle on last year'sVarsity. Steiny is a dependable,hard-hitting lineman and eitherof the two will tend to strength-en the center of the line.

Weekly Assembly Pro-gram Outlined for Year

(Continued from pag:e two)

lege song in true "Still S;pirit."Their magnitude was not appre-ciated by the sophomores untilthe entire group were on theplatform before them. It is rum-ored that the Sophs are ratherreluctant concerning the postingof freshman rules as a result.The freshmen then formed a sin-gle rank and each gave his nameand home town much to the edi-fication to that portion of thestudent body that hails from theBuckeye state.

Dean Johnson then spoke onthe subject of Inferiority Com-plexes and Dr. Schwartz gave outsome "dope" on the Homecomingand the Parsons football game.

For the benefit of the new stu-dents the weekly assemblys thatwere inaugurated last year pro-ved to be one of the most effi-cient means of gathering schoolspirit and loyalty that had everbeen tried. The meetings are heldfollowing third hour each Fridaymorning and the faculty memberacting as conductor for that day,provides the program. This meth-od was most successful last yearand the result was that some ofthe best speakers and musiciansappeared before the student bodylast year.

In order to take advantage ofthe entire forty-five minutes al-loted for these meetings, theDean urges that all students passimmediately to the assemblyroom following the close of thethird hour on Friday mornings.Everbody be there and grab asong book as you come in. How-ever, don't take them home withyou!

THE LOG BOOK

OUR DIGNIFIED PRESIDENT

Not being the proud possesso:of a reputation for being a "wit'or even less, a writer, I wa;somewhat at sea when asked toprepare the following article fo:The Log Book. I was somewhatat a loss to know just what themto develop my "essay" on, wheione of my friends mentioned "thegrave dignity" of your presidentand-my husband. So many in-cidents immediately came to mymind of times when his deportment was anything but dignifiedthat I at once decided to acceptwhat the gods had bestowed uporme and use the above for thetitle of my story.

The first time I met my futurehusband I was very much im-pressed by his quiet dignity andimmaculate dress. I can see himyet in the navy blue "Prince Al-bert" anid gray striped trousers.He has throughout the succeed-ing years maintained a fondnessfor being well dressed-but hisideas of good dressing and thoseof his wife have not always co-incided. For instance, I remem-ber giving him a beautiful rednecktie for Christmas one year.He put it on immediately and thefamily all admired his apepear-ance in it. But we lived to re-gret it. He wore that tie for sixsolid months and was perfectlyhappy in it, except when we oc-casionally beseeched him to makea change.

Continued thought along theline of dignity reminds me of oneday in the early days of our mar-ried life, I had a little insightinto a side of my husband's char-acter I had not seen before, buthave many times since.

We were quietly walking downa street in a little town in Ill-inois and Dr. S. L. was observingall the dignity of manner anddress which his position as thePastor of the First UniversalistChurch' required, when suddenlyhe stopped and listened. I could

hear nothing but the barking ofr some dogs, but those sounds,, meant more to the dignified ;prea-s cher. "Wait a minute," he saido as down the street he went atr break-neck speed, Prince Albertt coat-tails and dignity flying in

the wind, "I want to see that dogfight."

While we were still living int the same town an incident oc-_ curred that will tend to show

just the opposite side of the par-- ticular individual's nature. In

those days you all know therewere no electric lights and theresidential districts were verydark. One evening we were re-turning from a call on somefriends and as we approached aturn in the street, we saw alighter area on the ground justahead, which we mistook for jhecement sidewalk. We did notdiscover our error until the Dr.had stepped into a box of white.plaster which some workmen hadprepared for the next day's use.Before he could extricate him-self, both feet were liberally cov-ered with mortar. The rest ofthe way home I had to walk be-hind to protect my skirts fromthe lime, for in those days skirtshung within an inch of theground and were three yardsaround the bottom, and all Icould see of my indignant hus-band was those two white feetas he stalked home through backalleys to avoid a spectacle onmain street.

Your President has anotherout-standing quality that hasprobably come to the attentionof some of you--his tenacity tosee a thing through to a finish.In closing I would like to tell anincident that portrays that like-able quality in him so well. Onlya few months after we weremarried, Dr. S. L. and I weretaking a cross-country bicycletrip. We were nearing the endof our journey and were gettingvery tired. Dr. happened to no-tice a horse and buggy behind us.Wre had been passing them all

along the trip, but this rig nowseemed to be gaining on us whichvery much annoyed the doctor.He kept turning to look back.

Those of you who have everridden a wheel know how fatalthat would be when the roadswere full of deep ruts. The in-evitable happened-Dr. S. L.'swheel ,dropped into a rut, beganto wabble and over the dignifiedman tumbled into the ditch. Iwas riding behind and laughed sohard at the spectacle that I hadto get off my wheel to keep fromfalling in the ditch. Dr. S. L.jumped up, picked up his littlebrown derby and without evenbrushing the dust and dirt fromhis clothing, started on, saying,"Come on, or that old white horsewill catch us yet!"

Annual HomecomingPep Crystalizes As

Date Approaches

With the second annual Home-coming of D. M. S. C. O. alumnionly two weeks away, student en-thusiasm is mounting to a highpitch. Plans for the handlingand entertainment of the oldgrads are practically completed.ni .-are far more .extensive_ thanthose of previous years.

Column after column of type,tons of paper and countless is-sues of the Log Book could beused in an attempt to bring thealumni of the Des Moines StillCollege back to the "halls oflearning" once more, withoutavail. The "Still Spirit" we bragout cannot be described in somany words, the type of studentin the college cannot be madeclear through the printed page.Alumni, out of loyalty to yourcollege, the instrument thatplaced you in your present highposition in your community, or ifyou have no spirit of loyalty toyour alma mater, out of sheercuriosity, (the heritage of theAmerican people), attend the sec-ond annual Homecoming. "See-ing is Believing," as some sageonce said, Come and SEE foryourself that old D. M. S. C. 0.is doing things, that the chiefaim and purpose of this collegeis training of efficient and com-petent OSTEOPATHS, that thereis such a thing as the "StillSpirit," that we have a whirl-wind aggregation of footballplayers and that when we put ona social event, it's HOT STUFF!

Give yourself a treat and takea day ioff;, October- -16th,-- and at-tend the Second Annual Home-coming of the Des Moines StillCollege.

"Ang" Is Back

Sure sounds good to hear An-gus' highly trained falsetto ringthrough the building again in re-sponse to Rosemary's appeals forassistance. For those who havebeen at D. M. S. C. 0. in recentyears, Angus needs no introduc-tion. To the others, Ang is thechief custodian of the Des MoinesStill College Campus, and believeme he sure keeps it spotless.Welcome back, Angus.

It's too durn bad that men arenot what their wives and photo-graphers make them out to be.

Some things that come tothose who wait are terribly shop-worn!

Students AwardedUnexpected Holiday

The sudden drop in the mer-cury, while unexpected and ex-ceedingly uncomfortable, workedwonders to the minds of the stu-dent body.

The annual renovating of thecollege heating plant was well-underi way when t-he-wea-ther- manwent on his pre-,season spree. Asa result the school was so chillythat the Dean didn't have theheart to lecture to a class ofEsquimoes so he called off allclasses for the balance of theday.

Hurray for the cold weatherHurray for the Dean!

Girls' Musical ProgramFeature Third Assembly

The third regular assembly ofthe year was featured by an ex-tensive musical program given bystudents from Des. Moines Uni-versity.

The meeting opened with theusual song-feast lead by TomMIann. The assembly was thenturned over to Miss Helen Moore,who introduced the artists.

The piano solo by Miss Goodellwas well received and resulted inan encore which was of equalmerit. Miss Alice Olsen, con-tralto, accompanied by Miss Carl-son, (both Irish girls), renderedthree very pleasing numbers tothe great delight of the studentbody. A descriptive number p-or-traying the moaning of the windswas extraordinarily good withthe possible exception that themoaning was to realistic to thosewho were not in the assemblyroom when the number was an-nounced.

The D. M. S. C_ O_ studentbody and faculty are high intheir praise of the talents of theDes Moines U. students and sin-cerely appreciate their everwillingness to appear at ourweekly assemblies.

Following the girls, Earl Shawrendered a saxophone solo ac-companied at the piano by Dr.Fishleigh. Earl's rendition ofthe vocal chorus of the secondnumber was enthusiastically ap-plauded by the student body. Dr.Fishleigh played two very goodpiano solos.

Following the musical portionof the program, Dr. H. V. Halla-day -made a few announcementsrelative to the Freshman Recep-tion and th hand rl

D. M. S. C. 0. WelcomesField Members of

Taylor Clinic

On arriving at the college, alldoctors are requested to makethemselves known to the office,so that proper attention may begiven them in showing them thebuilding or in giving any infor-mation they might desire.

The college is always glad ofthe opportunity to be of serviceto any member of the professionwho might be in the city and inorder that the visiting doctorsmay receive every courtesy andwelcome due them from the col-lege, the above request must becomplied with.

Neighboring GarageIn Competition With

D. M. S. C. 0. Band

The next door garage attempt-ed to 'make more noise the otherafternoon than the D. M. S. C. 0.silver cornet band. During therendition of one of the most pop-ular selections of the band's re-pertoire, every horn in the afore-mentioned garage was turned on.The resultant din reminded someof the gang of the wreck of theHesperus, but the band came outon top because the mechanicswere afraid of running down thebatteries on all the new cars. Asa result band practice has beenchanged to Sunday morning.There being no churches in theimmediate vicinity, there shouldbe no detractions from the mu-sic.

D. M. S. C. 0. is going to havea band to be proud of. Throughthe activity of Virge Halladay,the organization has been at workfor over two weeks. The musicmakers will make their first offi-cial appearance at Homecoming.

This band is one of the bestthings ever started at the col-lege. It will do ,more to amalga-mate the student spirit of theschool than anything that couldbe attempted. Every student whoever thought of blowing a horn,mouth organ or anything thateven bordered on a musical in-strument should be out.

Frosh InaugurateAnnual Class Battle

The annual class battle! be-tween the two lower classes was:formally opened when the year-lings kicked over the traces anddecorated the college buildingwith filligree tracings of classnumerals and various quotationsrelative to ..the .meritas of- thesophomore class worked in theexacting medium of white-wash.

The soph's, of course, wereamazed the next morning to findthe atrocious mutilations of thehallowed walls of our college.Throughout the morning, smallgroups of students of the genussophomore could be seen gather-ing in deep consultation. Plot-ting, as t'were, the downfall ofthe recalcitrant Frosh.

Revenge is sweet, and thesophs, with the aid of the upperclasses, reaped the same thatnight. During the quiet watchesof the study hour, many of thefreshman rooms were entered andthe occupants thereof were in-vited to take a joy-ride withother classmates. Although theyhated to leave their studies theywere prevailed upon to relax fora few hours and enjoy the even-ings festivities.

During the wee sma' hours thefrosh .dribbled home in a some-what weakened state but, Oh,boy, their spirit wasn't dampeneda bit!

The next act in this interest-ing annual drama of college lifehas not been announced but fromthe rumors that have been float-ing around the halls, somethingis brewing! All members of boththe Sophomore and Freshmanclasses have installed Yale lockson the inside of their studyroom doors. At 'em Freshmen!At 'em Sophomores!

As Their Wives KnowThem

Owing to the change in pub-lication dates on the Log Book,it was impossible to secure thecopy for the next article in theseries "As Their Wives KnowThem," in time for this issue.

A knock-out is in the processof preparation and having beendelayed as it has, should provetwice as good on realization.

When a prospect begins tolook at his watch- look for yourhat.

'Round the Campus

Maybe the boys don't know thevarious activities of the girlstudents, so engrossed have theybeen in their own good times,but lest- they overlook this-heregoes.

All the girls of the schooljointly entertained all new com-ers at a Princess party, its open-ing week. To spoil an excep-tionally jolly time, it poureddown rain a few moments after

'the show, and nearly all got their"itty footsies" (?) wet.

The A. X. I. S. and the DeltaOmegas jointly entertained thenew girls at a nicnic supper atMcHenry park. But-what do youthink it rained again just asthe activities were drawing to aclose. A number of the fieldmembers were present. Despitethe damp weather every one hadheaps of fun even the commit-tees.

The Freshman B class reportan enrollment of fifty-six onSeptember 11th. Of that numberthe following states are repre-sented in the order named: Ohio,Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri,Pennsylvania, Michigan, SouthDakota, Minnesota, Washington,Colorado, Rhode Island, Nebras-ka, Kansas, Maine, Florida, andLondon, England.X According to the class report-er the Freshman B's are very ac-tive and rarin' to go. They areespecially interested in findingout the name and address of thearchitect who designed and builtthe seats in the big pit. (Aboutthree other classes are with youon that point, freshman).

Tn Physiology class the otherday we discovered that RobertRoss, (Bobby) had formerly goneto high school. Bob said in thosedays twelve per cent of the bodywas composed of blood. But thatisn't so bad a freshman in Ana-tomy class told Virge that he had206 bones in his head.

Coach Sutton asked one of theSophs where fats were found andOlive Lenhart answered, "inleaves and in such fruits asolives," to which Coach replied,"Yes, and in other nuts too."'Tough luck Olive.

Dr. Steffens latest suggestionin regard to the heat problem ofiStill college is that we dig down-in our wardrobes and shake themothballs out of our red flannels.

'The suggestion is an excellent,.one, Doctor, if any member ofthe student body has such a dis-,ease as a wardrobe it might be-well to let it remain intact andprohibit the spread of the con-dition.

If they dance cheek to cheekit is a safe bet they are not mar-ried-to each other.

Mr. and Mrs. Ouray Meyer andson Edwin, of Kansas City, spentthe week end with Dr. and Mrs.Bailey. Mrs. Meyer and Baileywere roommates at Lombard col-lege.-(Galesburg, Ill., Republi-can-Register.)

Fraternity Notes

DELTA OMEGA

The actives of Delta Omegaentertained the new girls at thehome of the Moore sisters in theHanford apartments. The firstpart of the evening was spent invarious games of cards followedby light refreshments which wereserved in progressive style. Need-less to say the new girls werenon-plused at this innovation buttheir appetites stayed with themregardless. All seemed reluctantto go home, so must have en-joyed themselves.

PHI SIGMA GAMMA

Phi Sigma Gamma announcethe pledging of the followingmen:

Olusion, Widmar, Stone, Donald-son, Clark, Jennings and Grin-nell.

Pledge Grinnell was calledhome by business, but will beback with us in a few days.

Brother R. E. Davis is backwith us, bringing with him Ver-non Schawb. Vernon is one ofthe most talked of football play-ers in the country, being cap-tain of Stivers high school in1923. The same year he waspicked as guard on the All-American high school team. Heis a guest at the house for thepresent.

Brother Conn has some newboots and is ready now for ajourney into the wilds of Ohio.Watch boys and see what hebrings back with him.

There is extensive building andredecorating being done in Pee-lee's barber shop.

All cowboys do not come fromthe west. This can be proven byusing pledge Donaldson as ex-ample. He is from Pennsylvania.

Something must be wrong.Brothers Howe and' Long havebeen seen separated twice sinceschool started.

The pledge dance at the housewas a big success. Everyoneseemed to have a good time andthere sure was a good turn out.

Brother Lashler from Kirks-ville, is now a fixture of thehouse.

Are You the Captainof Your Soul?

"Give me the authority to en--force unquestioning obedience tomy orders the authority of the

.officer over the private soldier-:and I can cure 90 per cent of my:patients with no other treatmentthan simple exercise."

The speaker was a famous phy-sician who had been studying the.effects of compulsory physicaltraining upon soldiers in camp.

"Unfortunately," he continued,"'I have no authority comparableto the officers, and few peoplehave the will-power to disciplinethemselves successfully."

Do you ever practice self-dis-cipline? Do you ever compel,.yourself to do something againstyour taste and inclination, even-though it requires a struggle to.do it?

Or are you the slave of desires:and inclinations, satisfied to hu-.nor yourself in every whim andfancy, content to travel the easyroad that leads to nowhere inparticular rather than to strug-gle up the rugged steps towardthe pinnacle?

Character is built upon will-power. Will-power to do whatyou ought to do rather than tofollw slavishly the dictates ofinclination.

It may be somewhat hard toconceive, for instance, that yourcharacter is very much influencedby your ability to jump out ofbed at 6:30 prompt, every morn-ing, summer and winter alike, re-gardless of how strong ,may beyour inclination to stay in bedjust another five minutes.

And yet, that simple little testof self-discipline can be an ex-cellent criterion of your wholecharacter.

If you have your desires andinclinations so well under con-trol that it is easy for you tcget up regularly at the righttime, every morning, then youwill have little difficulty in do-ing everything else on time. Yourbusiness day will be orderly, andcarried out according to sched-ule. Procrastinations will haveno place among your characteris-tics, you will be up and doingwhile the other fellow is sittingin his chir dreaming of doing.

Self-discipline and self-indul-gence cannot live together. Oneis strength, the other weaknessWould you be strong? It's easy-it all lies in self-discipline. Itall lies in whether you exerciseyour wishbone or your backbone

Frosh ReceptionSocial Success

Sh -h! Did you hear that won-derful music that was wafted outon the misty night air of Octo-ber 3rd The spirits that wereabroad that night, they tell me,were not the cadavers, but theAnnual Reception in honor of allfreshmen and new students ofStill college.

The auditorium was very artis-tically decorated in the schoolcolors by the Sophomore B class.

The evening's entertainmentwas started off by "Dutch"Schmitt, a local entertainer ofrepute, with a few remarks ofgreeting to the freshmen in anew, but pleasing way. Thechange from the cut and driedmethod of breaking the ice wasgreatly appreciated. "Dutch"then presented his entertainerswho rendered several solos, pianoaccordian and vocal.

Then came the dance. And,oh boy! such a dance, everythingwent from the old time buck andwing to the ultra modern "Char-leston." We're not saying whorendered the Charleston. One ofthe outstanding events of theevenings entertainment was whenDr. Virge Halladay announcedthat those present who had onclean shirts might remove theircoats. Needless to say, manyfinished the round sans habit.

The excellent music was fur-nished by the Harmolodians, alocal organization which includessome of our own students.

For those who did not dancethere were card tables down-stairs. Refreshments in the formof cider, doughnuts and appleswere served in the lower hall.

All those present said they hada good time and wished thatmore school dances would beheld.

From CaliforniaThe following clipping from

the Christian Science Monitor, is-sue of September 15, 1925, wassent in to us by Dr. A. S. Dow-ler of Glendale, Cal. Dr. I!owleris an out and out OsteopathicDoctor and BOOSTER.

"Although, according to theBelgian correspondent of theJournal of the American MedicalAssociation, the Brussels MedicalConference, which has just end-ed its annual convention, is meet-ing with increasing success everyyear, it can hardly be contendedfrom some of the evidence fur-nished during its sessions, thatpresent day medical methods aredoing the same. For, accordingto this source of informationthe eminent British medical au-thority who was a delegate tcthe meetings, Sir AlmrotIWright, definitely stated that thecomplete failure of all forms ofvaccine treatment in tuberculo-sis has been established. If onerecalls the, extensive advertisingthat has accompanied some ofthose methods in the years notlong past, and the unqualifiedclaims that have been made fortheir efficacy, is one not excus-able if, in the light of Sir Almroth's confession, one takes thenext great medical discovery wit}the proverbial grain of salt?"

Davis is back in school and outin uniform again, he will be agreat help in the backfield.

Hughes and Lillard, two menfrom Kirksville, are out in uni-form. Hughes is a backfield manand swings a nasty toe. He hasn'tplayed yet but we expect bigthings from him. Sam Lillardhas already proven his ability toplay tackle, he did this in theParsons game.

Due credit must be given toCoach's "truck horses," they putup an excellent fight against thevarsity in scrimmage, and occas-ionally make the first string menstep to keep up with them.

With Kirksville in the offing,the men are working hard inorder to bring about eleven scalpsback to Des Moines on Nov. 8,1925.

Dr. Alien B. Cairne, Marion,Indiana, writes in as follows:

"Do you know of a good manwith Indiana license, or the cre-dentials to get one, who mightbe interested in taking over apractice of fourteen years build-ing?

"I am selling my practice be-cause of ill health from overwork, and would like to get -outwithin a short time, not laterthan. the ,mid-year class comesout anyway, before if possible,and there is a wonderful oppor-tunity here for a man who canmeet the people right and whocan deliver the boods."

Des Moines StudentsStick

The reputation that "DesMoines Students Stick" is onethat the college can justly beproud of. The fact that very fewif any students are lost by trans-fer to other colleges, while notdetrimental to the other osteo-pathic colleges. is a decided"feather" in the cap of D. M. S.C. 0.

This year only one student waslost by transfer, and in compari-son with the number that wereadmitted to the upper class fromthe other colleges is in itself in-dicative of the high type of in-struction and clinical facilitiesof this college.

The accompanying map willgive some idea of where D. M. S.C. 0. students come from, andit may be noticed that practi-cally every state in the union isrepresented in our student body.

The figures on the map includethe old students, freshmen regis-tered by September 11th, butdoes not include those studentswho entered D. M. S. C. 0. thisfall from other Osteopathic col-leges.

ATLAS NOTES

The spirit of brotherly lovesurely permeates the atmosphereof -our Fraternity. Last springone of the brother's compiledsome statistics for the benefit ofanother frater in re: his chancesof getting to Detroit via oneFord of ancient vintage. Thecompilations set forth showedthat said brother, and his canin question, had slim chances ofarriving at the metropolis onschedule or even simultaneously.

Now, it happens that we havea very benevolent brother in ourmidst, inventor of a famous hairtonic. Said brother took compas-sion and pity on the brother whoheld the sack containing oneworn Ford. He bought the wreckfor better or worse and got thelatter. The brother who nowheld the bag undertook to travelhome for his vacation in afore-said ark. The boat took himhome, much to our astonishment,but the returning was analagousto Sherman's interpretation ofwar.

The traveling was magnolius onthe pavement of other states,but the Iowa mud got the bestof the puddler. According to themodern Noah, it rained for forty

hours and forty minutes and thewaters prevailed exceedingly up-on the face of the roads, whichbecame as a sea of mud. Up tothe hubs the mud prevailed un-til the wheels were coveredtherewith. For ten miles thegears remained in low and uponthe eleventh the crankshaft gaveway. They were at Grinnell atthe time and our brother, feelingvery charitable, looked aroundfor a weak minded person andbestowed the car upon him. (Youhave heard of cars that couldn'tbe given you as a gift.)

We hope our brother's willcontinue their charitable poli-cies, at least until we have dis-posed of our cars.

Dr. Halladay was honored withan office in the Grand Chapter ofthe Atlas Club at the annualelection held during the conven-tion at Toronto.

Brother Leonard reports thatthings are going nicely at theDetroit Osteopathic Hospital.

Mental House Cleaning

It takes a move or a fire toshow us how much stuff there isin a home that is little else thanjunk. The women discover athouse-cleaning time that thereis quite an accumulation whicheach member of the family hassaved and which will 'never beused again, but becomes a nuis-ance and hindrance as it liesaround. Some housekeepers havethe nerve to burn a lot of thistrash.

In the minds of each of us area lot of old ideas that we havesaved, but which are entirely out

of date. We treasure them as-we would old keepsakes. It isbecause we treasure them we areunable to put them in the dis-card. We never forget anything,but we can place the stamp ofdisapproval upon an idea so thatit will remin beyond the powerof recall. The old saying thatwise men change their minds butfools never is another way ofsaying that wise men clean housementally.

Professor Victor Holfert hascompiled some interesting stat-istics, recently published in theScientific American, which giveus some very interesting infor-mation as to just how our timeis allotted to various duties andrequirements throughout our life-time. These figures, as preparedby Professor Holfert which applyto the average man of 72 yearsof age, are as follows:Sleep ______--23 years, 4 monthsWork-_ _---_-19 years, 8 monthsRecreation _ 9 years, 8 monthsEating 6 years, 2 monthsTravel _ .-_ 5 yearsIllness- ___ 4 yearsDressing _-__ 2 years

Nichols Speaks inAssembly October 16

Dr. R. H. Nichols of, Boston,one of the most eminent diagnos-ticians in the profession, delight-ed the students by appearing inassembly October 16 Homecom-ing day. The Doctor gave an ex-cellent address and received theundivided attention of the entirestudent body.

Following, a general song-festwas held with Tom Mann direct-ing. Considerable pep was gener-ated for the afternoon's athleticengagement with Buena Vista.

The D.M.S.C.O. Band made itsdebut at this time and was en-thusiastically received by thegang. They sure ;put out somehot stuff and with Virge Halla-day, with his atrophied saxo-phone, as a conductor, we shouldhave an organization to take toKirkville that will make John P.Sousa turn green with envy.

Last week Dr. M. B. Lovegrovewas in charge of the meeting.After the customary music, Mrs.John W. Million spoke on thesubject of Internationl Law andrelations. Mrs. Million is thewife of Dr. J. W. Million, presi-dent of Des Moines universityand is considered quite an au-thority on the above subjects.

Football Star Marries

Frank Thomas, '27, star guardon the varsity for the past twoseasons, slipped one over on therest of the squad and was mar-ried at noon, Saturday, October24, just before the Gracelandgame. That probably explainsthe wagon sized holes the Stillline tore in the Graceland de-fense during the fourth quarterafter Tommy got in the game.It is rumored the sqad will haveto wait until the season is overfor their cigars. Congratulations,Tommy!

Frosh Entertain SophsThe night before the annual

homecoming pushball game, thefreshmen class decided that thesportsman-like thing to do, wasto reciprocate for the .sight-see-ing tour of the city given intheir honor by the Sophomoreclass the week previous. As a re-sult immediately following bandpractice, the freshmen congrega-ted at the college and startedafter the second year men. Manywere reluctantly taken fromtheir studies by the not-to-be-de-nied yearlings and escorted tothe West High School stadium,where they were innoculatedagainst the rigors of the nightair by applications of the con-nective tissue portion of berrypies applied to the facial regions.The limosines were then calledand the reciprocal tour started.

Everything was rosy and likeall good things, nmuist have anending. Just as the rejoicingfrosh were preparing to retireafter the night's activities, theprivacy of their boudoirs wasbroken and the Sophs who hadcoagulated by some unknown wayreturned the compliments of theevening with vengance.

Several of the boys got back intime for breakfast, but a fewdribbled in during first and sec-ond hours -footsore and weak.However, they apparently re-gained their "wim, wigor and wi-tallity" by afternoon, judgingfrom the outcome of the push-ball game.

Sigma Sigma Phi HoldsInitiation

Beta chapter of Sigma SigmaPhi, honorary Osteopathic frater-nity, takes pleasure in ainnounc-ing the initiation of Dr. and ,,John M. Woods, Doyle A. Rtich-ardson, '26 and John P Jones, '28.

Following the formal initia-tion, a feed was partaken of atKing Ying Low's food emnporiumat which time and place Dr.Virge Halladay broke all previousrecords for the consumption ofchicken chow mein. The Doc-tor's accomplishments along thelines mentioned are without peerin the entire Osteopathic pro-fession.

When I see a poor boob leavinga good job to go in business forhimself on a "shoestring," I can'thelp but shed a sympathetic tear.

Now I know why the StandardOil Company is such a wonderfulorganization. They tell me thatevery time an official retires ordies they hire a new office boy.

Crowd Attends Still'sSecond Homecoming

A crowd of approximately twohundred attended the festivitiesarranged for the Second AnnualStill College Homecoming.

The day was ideal and the pro-gram started off with Dr. R. H.Nichols of Boston speaking in as-sembly. Following Dr. Nicholsthe D.M.S.C.O. Band made its in-itial appearance and received theplaudits of the multitude. Dur-ing the noon hour the variousfraternities and sororities heldluncheon in honor of returnedalumni and the respective alumniassociations held their meetings.

The football game in the af-ternoon was of stellar quality.The aggregation from Buena Vis-ta put up a stiff battle and althothey were out played by the Os-teo's, came out of the contestwith the long end of the score-16 to 0.

During the between halves per-iod the Freshmen and Sopho-mores worked off all excess an-tagonism in the Pushball battle.The first was a fair, clean, sports-man like affair and was closelycontested from the first whilstle.During the final minutes of thegame the Frosh called forth anherculean effort and shoved thesphere across for the only markerof the game, leaving a trail ofexhausted humanity in theirwake. Their winning of the gamedoes away with the Green Capsuntil next fall.

At six-thirty the "gang" con-gregated in the Florentine Roomof the Hotel Savery III and par-took of a most excellent banquet.Dr. Lola Taylor, Dr. J. P. Sch-wartz and others made appropri-ate speeches, after which thehall was cleared and the dancingbegan. The hall was well -filledand the music most excellent.

All in all the event was highlysuccessful and is well on its wayto becoming an established cus-tom.

D. M. S. C. 0. BandGives First Concert

The 1925 D.M.S.C.O. band madeits debut in assembly, Homecom-ing morning, and believe me boy,it's some band! Such an all-'round aggregation of horn toot-ing, drum beating Osteopathshas never, here-to-fore been as-sembled in one place. They hadpep, harmony, n'everything. Theywere also in attendance at thefootball game and the brief con-cert given between halves cer-tainly sounded good. Everyonewill admit that there is nothinglike a band to instill pep and en-


Osteo's Lose One andWin Two

Since the last issue, Coach Sut-ton's gridiron warriors have en-gaged in three contests, losingone and winning the last twowhich came on consecutive days.

The homecoming game was loston fumbles and intercepted pass-es, the opponents being unableto gain onr, straight football or bythe aerial route. The line dis-played its customary inpregna-bility but at the critical timesfumbles would prevent the Oste-opaths from scoring. Buena Vis-to put over a thirty-five yarddrop kick in the early part ofthe game which was their onlyearned tally.

Following a rest of two weeksthe Purple and White invadedthe Ellsworth camp and pushedover two touchdowns in the firstquarter as a result of the firstoutburst of form of the season.However, Still's scoring stoppedat this point and the game wasevenly fought through the re-maining three periods, with Ells-worth putting the ball over forsix points in the last frame.This was D.M.S.C.O.'s first victoryof the season and the jinx is fin-ally broken-no more defeats!The squad returned home thesame night and were in fairlygood shape for the battle withGraceland the following day.

Accomplishing the almost im-possible, D.M.S.C.O.'s eleven cameback and won the second gameon consecutive days, defeatingGraceland college on Saturday13 to 0. The first three quarterswere played in a rather listlessfashion, the battle developing in-to a punting duel between Brabyof Graceland and Platt of theOsteo's, with favors about even.Fumbles were numerous andneither team displayed and start-ling ability. However, shortlyafter the beginning of the lastperiod, Still took the ball in themiddle of the field and startedthe march to the goal line. Re-peated line smashes of from fiveto ten yards each, by Sheetz andShaw soon put the ball over forthe first marker of the game.Captain Myers kicked goal and'added the extra point.

Following the touchdown, Stillkicked-off to Graceland, who af-ter three unsuccessful attemptsat the line, punted to Staffordwho made a good return. Again!the march was started down thefield, with Shaw and Sheetz shar-ing the honors in gains thru theline. The result was anothertouchdown. Myers failed at the

Osteopathy and FootballThis year Still college enjoys

the distiction of serving withinthe city, eleven football teams.Even with the varied and exten-sive experience our college stu-dents have in the regular clinic,we felt that they were not com-pletely qualified unless they hadhad some experience in handlingathletes, and last year an effortwas made to place them with thevarious schools in Des Moines.Checking over last year's workand showing its benefits to thoseinterested, opened the door thisyear to a much more extensiveprogram of this type of work.

At present we have two menworking with the coach of theteam in each of the followingschools: Drake university, DesMoines university, Des MoinesCatholic college, Still college,and our five city high schools.In addition, the North and SouthSide Athletic clubs each use onetrainer. This gives us work ineleven different institutions andwith athletes from the highschool age up into the universityclass. Altogether, we have underthe care of twenty seniors, overfour hundred football men. Asone set of twenty students com-pletes a specified amount of workothers are put in and in thisway each senior serves for a timein the capacity of trainer.

The benefits derived from thiswork cannot be estimated. Inthe first place, we feel they havea big advantage over those whohave not had the intimate con-tact with this work. It is wortha great deal to the graduate, for*he is prepared to offer expertservice of this type to the highscool or college team were helocates.

It is of great benefit to Oste-opathy. It takes only a shorttime to convince the high schoolor college student of the value ofOsteopathic treatment. Someheld back at first. Now two stu-dents are not enough to handlethe work necessary to keep theaverage squad in good physicalcondition.

s-teopatlly Without Limitation

On To Kirksville!

EX

Let's adopt the above sloganand when the D.M.S.C.O. footballteam invades the K. 0. C., backthem to the limit!

We have a team to be proud of,and in the coming game with theRams, which is going to be oneof the hardest on the season's,chedule, they will need everyatom of student support that isavailable. They are workinghard to develop a machine that-will prove unbeatable on Nov. 7and it's up to us to do our share.

Plans are under way for thechartering of a special train totake the students to Kirksvilleand in order to make the cost ofthe trip as low as possible, wemust have a maximum numberof students go. The Band will bethere and D.M.S.C.O. wants .toshow the K.O.C. what real "StillSpirit" means.

The preparation for this com-ing battle is not all onesided.Kirksville is not asleep, nor dothey _-underestim ate the abilityand prowress of our team. Theyare working hard to perfect theiraggregation and in one phase atleast will have the advantage-they will be playing on theirhome field and will have the sup-port of their entire student body.

It is not expected that all thestudents will be able to make thepilgrimage, but we want as manyas possibly can, to go. Closeevery restaurant in Des Moines,if necessary, but get to Kirks-ville! Back your team to thelimit!

Be one of the gang on thatSpecial when she steams out ofDes Moines headed south on Fri-day night, November 6th! ONTO KIRKSVILLE!

Women continue to attend bar-gain sales, and men keep on buy-ing oil stock, but the question ofgetting "something for nothing"remains unaswered.

From the FieldSome time ago I was invited

by an officer of the school and amember of the faculty to con-tribute in writing to The LogBook; We are at this time ac-cepting the invitation in writinga note, or letter. We hope thesame will be accepted by you, theeditor, as constructive criticism.

I think the editor, students,faculty and practitioners in gen-eral feel that after they hadthoroughly considered and deci-ded to take up the profession ofOsteopathy, even as early as thisin the beginning and making ofthe Osteopathic .physician, he orshe know that the curriculum ofall Osteopathic Colleges embraceall subjects necessary to qualifyone for the degree of physician.We also feel that all doctors ofOstecpathy should, if they do not,resent being called a rubbingdoctor, and feel very much un-complimented when classed as abone setter. The watchmakerdoes not care to be called asquinter, yet it is just as properto call a watchmaker a squinter,for he ,does squint his eye whenexamining his work, as it is tocall an Osteopath a rubbing doc-tor, or a bone setter.

A doctor of Osteopathy, or onewho is aspiring to be a doctor ofOsteopathy, should place his pro-fession that he intends to givehis life to, on as high a plane asan Aleopath, who would quicklyresent being called a bone setter,pill roller, or dope distributer,much less calling themselvessuch in their own periodicals.We have repeatedly read in theLog Book which comes to usmonthly, "thank you," that thebone setters were defeated, orthe bone setters defeated- theterm bone setters applied to thestudents of Osteopathy in my oldschool.

This I think is very disrespect-ful .and such a habit should bediscontinued, for as I stated be-fore, Osteopath physicians andsurgeons do not confine them-selves to setting bones or rubbingbacks. We in this city are con-sidered physicians and do a gen-eral practice. Would it not soundbetter for our Log Book to referto our men as the physicians andsurgeons defeated, or the physic-ians and surgeons were defeated,rather than the bone setters?

We hope that you will take thisin the light that it is intended,as we are always for Osteopathyand our own school, Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy. Thepast four years we have been outin practice we have been instru-mental, directly and indirectly,in sending many, eight or ten,students back, not as prospectiveback rubbers or bo-ne setters, butas Osteopaths to be trained aswe know they will be, for thegreat profession of Osteopathy.

Yours truly,C. 0. CASEY, D. O.

We sincerely appreciate the in-terest manifested by Dr. Caseyin the above letter, and althoughwe are not responsible for thename, will do our utmost towardssecuring its suppression. The

Detroit OsteopathicAssociation

The monthly meeting of theDetroit Osteopathic Association,was held at the Nurses home ofJthe Detroit Osteopathic Hospital,185 Highland, Wednesday night,Oct. 21, at 8:30.

Dr. W. C. McGregor, one of theinstructors of the Chicago Col-lege of Osteopathy was the chiefspeaker. He read a case historyon Septic Endouarditis, with Pas-sive Congestion of the Liver, anddiscussed it. He held a clinic ondiagnosis on three patients. Hethen briefly discussed Reflex con-ditions caused by Foci of infec-tion, and cercical and perineallacerations. He spoke on theoften missed diagnosis of Renaland uretal calculi and lastly dis-cussed importance of Labratoryfindings. His talk was very in-teresting and was thoroughly en-joyed by the large turnout.

Dr. W. P. Bruer, one of the in-ternes of the Detroit OsteopaticHospital gave a reading on casehistories. This was written verywell and was very interesting andbeneficial.

The Association is starting aregular clinic on diagnosis everyWednesday evening at the hos-pital.

OSTEOPATHS WINOVER GRACELAND

Still Scores Second Victory inTwo Days

After battling on even termsfor three quarters, the Still col-lege eleven unleashed a powerfuloffensive in the final period andscored a 13 to 0 victory overGraceland college at the DesMoines Catholic academy field.By trimming the Ellsworth teamFriday the Osteopaths scored twovistories in two consecutive days.

For more than half the gameneither team was able to advancete ball within the scoring dis-tance, but in the fourth quarter,with Sheets and Shaw luggingthe ball, the Osteopaths ham-mered the Graceland line forgain after gain until, with theball on the 5-yard line, Shawcircled left end for the firsttouchdown. Captain Myers' place-kick was good for the extra point.

Still kicked off. Butterworthreceived the ball on the 10-yardline and was downed after a tenyard gain. Graceland failed toadvance and Braby punted toDavis, who was downed on theGraceland 45-yard line. Takingturns at carrying the ball, Shawand Sheets again smashed theirway to the Graceland goal, whereSheets carried it across on an offtackle play. Myers failed to kickgoal.

The strain of playing twogames in two consecutive dayswas almost too much for the Stilleleven and resulted in many fum-bles and poor interference. Bothteams used the aerial attack togreat extent but neither was suc-cessful. The first three quartersdeveloped into a punting duelbetween Butterworth and Platt,both men getting their boots offin good shape for about thirty-five yard averages. CaptainMyers, Still's 220-pound tackle,was a power 'in the Osteopathdefense, breaking through theline time after time to throw theGraceland backs for losses.

The game was marked by re-peated injuries and penalties.

When I see stenographers andswitchboard operators on theirway to work with library booksand sewing baskets, I can betterunderstand why Central givesthe signal, "they don't answer."

We are especially proud of ourwork in the five city high schools.This is done under the supervis-ion of the coach in each school,but is watched very closely by amember of the medical advisoryboard and the writer. We areworking with one idea only inmind and that is to furnish theseyoung football boys with a ser-vice that will keep them in bet-ter physical condition and givethem immediate and proper careif injured. As a result of our ef-forts the reports show greaterendurance on the part of theplayer, fewer injuries, quickerrecoveries and a marked reduc-tion in the injuries that wouldhave a tendency to become per-manent. Complete co-operationand understanding between theschool authorities and the writerhas brought about this mutuallybeneficial opportunity.-H. V. H.

Dr. Halladay reports that bythe time of the Kirksville trip,the band will have increased toabout thirty pieces. Let's get be-hind this organization and helpthem show the K. O. C. what areal Osteopathic Band is like.Virge is quite well pleased withthe showing the band has madeso far, and the student body ismore than enthusiastic.

Some have the idea that theband should function only duringthe football season, but in realityit should be a year 'round affair.Keep the good work up, fellows!

TYPESDid you ever think about the

types of men that enter Collegeor a professional school. Wellto get down to brass tacks letus consider a few. First we muststudy their derivation, then fol-low up by a critical but mean-ingly kind dissimilation. Shouldwe judge a man by his dress, car-riage, associations, conversationor what not. There are somethat come with the idea that itis going to be a grand and glor-ious loaf. Of course in our me-andering we must remember thatit is the exception that makesthe rule. They are as a rulevery well dressed to start with,although their taste may be alittle outlandish. They have theair of "don't tell me mister, Iknow ,my stuff." They are theones that know how to run theschool, the Dean don't know adarn thing. After a while theyare missed by their absence. Theyhave the most to say the littlestto do and the most time to doit in. As to a line, the railwaysystems don't have a thing onthem. This type will inform youat any time what fraternity theyare going to join and what theywill do when they try to makethem do any of the crazy stunts.Yes boy they know their stuff.

Then we have a second typethat comes to school with verygood intentions and means to putout some effort but at the sametime does not intend to have anyt.hingr interfere with his social ac-

tivities. This type does notseem to have the thorough knowl-edge of the campusology of the'situation as the first, but makesblunders and picks up things a-he goes along. He wants to learnthe ropes but does not exposehimself to any ridicule onlythrough pure ignorance. He is-vory likely to secretly admirethe first type, but in time real-izes the folly of such procedureand tries to find another way tocget around. To some: of the menhe may appear to be attemptingto "high hatting" them but it iSjust a form of timid remotnesgSin which the man can not seemto span the space between goodfellowship and his present stateof tottering convictions. He willin time fall into some of theways of the first, but not withthe blundering assurance.

As to the third type, he comeS,to school with no idea at all a-to what it is all about, only thatafter four years of hard workthey will give him one of thoseskins you love to touch. He iswilling to do anything that goeSalong with it to obtain one. Heacts like a buck private in thearmy should act, takes ordersfrom everybody, believes every,thing and learns the college lifein a rambling way. He applieshimself to his books as conscien-tiously as the first type does tohis campusology and about forthe same length of time that thefirst type lasts. He is never asport, but turns out to be a goodfellow and just a little more thangets by. He later picks up inboth dress and sociability andsoon becomes lost in} the crowdas one of the crowd.

Now the fourth type does notgive a darn about social activi-ties, fraternities or any of thesethings unless it has a direct bear,ing upon his scholastic way. Hedoes not care about dress or as-fsociation, in fact he would rath-er be by himself. He is the prideof the profs the seat of envy ordisgust to many. His ways arehis own, his mind is his ownnarrow way. His tastes are thesame after four years, and hasthese things to learn after hegets. out of school.

--San Francisco is noted-_ r. itshilly streets. One morning as Iwas coming to my office on aSutter street car, and like mostmen silently thinking and worry-ing about certain problems I wasto face during the day, I lookedahead at the hills our car waggoing to have to climb, and Iwondered how power enough waSgenerated to push it over thetops of them. As we came tothem, it seemed as though theyhad disappeared, and we weretraveling on level ground. Thinklthis over.

Pep Meeting AssuresKirksville Crusade

The Tuesday morning '"pep"7meeting eradicated all doubt asto the possibility of the D.M.S.C.O. special to Kirksville for thefootball game with the K.O.C. onNovember 7th.

By special dispensation of theDean, the meeting was called andpresided over by Virge Halladay.Every member of the facultythat was in the building was es-corted to the platform and re-quested to make a speech. Allresponded in a manner which in-dicated that the "Still Spirit"had permeated the faculty roomas well as the student quarters.Various students were also per-suaded to spout a little and help-put it over.

At the beginning of the meet-ing the number of signatures onthe book for the special trainwas forty-three. One hundredand twenty-five were needed.After the first appeal by Dr.Halladay, the enthusiasm beganto mount, and with each succed-ing speaker it soared higher andhigher, until when the meetingclosed there was a mad rush forthe office, and within fifteen min-utes the total had risen to onehundred and fourteen, exclusiveof the squad.

Concerted effort as displayedin this instance can accomplishany task placed before it. Whenthe D.M.S.C.O. student body get"het up" and behind a project,its bound to go over, and go overbig.

The special, with the team, theband, and approximately onehundred and fifty students willland in Kirksville about two inthe morning. At that hour theK.O.C. will begin to realize whatwe have in Des Moines.

The students of Kirksville arelooking forward with great an-ticipation to the coming of theD.MN.S.C.O. gang,, and have plan-ned many entertainment featuresin their honor.

Freshmen A's Step

On Tuesday evening, Nov 3rd,the Freshman A class, the singlemembers and the married oneswith their wives, were entertain-ed by Lillian B. Tracy at 1628Beaver Avenue.

Games were played during theevening and a taffy pull endedthe enjoyment. Instructors andstudents were given the oppor-tunity of sampling the treach-erous sweet stuff the followingmorning. No fatalities have beenreported.

Girls Gather

The girls of the college andMrs. Halladay and Mrs. Woods,held an informal social eveningin the Ladies Room of the collegeone evening last week.

Games, Victrola dancing and agab-fest were the constituentparts of the enjoyable evening.Coffee and sandwiches were alsoserved.

Correction

In the last issue of the LogBook, thru error, the names ofPledges Lillian Tracy, GladysCowen and Helen Peterson, hon-or guests at an Axis function,were omitted from the article.Sorry, girls.

DR. MILLARD SAYS:"Keep up the fight, it is worth

it. After twenty-six years ofconstant practice I am more en-thusiastic than ever over theprinciples of Osteopathy.

The only ambition worth whileis the kind that makes you wantsomething so much that you can'thold yourself back from workingextra hours to gain it.

Halladay at WashingtonThe following is a sample of

the publicity received by Dr. H.V. Halladay during his recenttrip East, to appear before theMiddle Atlantic States Osteopa-thic Association:

HOSE ROLLERS BETTER RACE,DOCTORS TOLD

Varicose Veins Disappearing asGarters Become Passe, Osteo-

path Says at Hearing.

By FELIX T. COTTENFlappers who roll their stock-

ings are establishing a practicein the right direction.

Thus Dr. H. V. Halladay, ofDes Moines, Ia., attending thesixth annual convention of theMiddle Atlantic States Osteopa-thic Association at the Washing-ton Hotel, declared yesterday.

The old practice of wearinggarters above the knees impededblood circulation, Dr. Halladaydeclared. The result was vari-cose veins and other troubles, hesaid. Now, he declared, turgidveins are disappearing.

Hope It "Sticks"His only apprehension is that

the fad will go the way of allothers, Dr. Halladay said. He de-clared it should stay, for it isone of the wisese fads ever.

He added, however, that allfads are by no means instinct-ively right. The "flapper slouch"of two years ago was injurious,and this latter one is conductiveto health, he declared. He con-tinued:

"General debility of girls wassurprising. Pneumonia developed.Lung troubles, lesions and spinedisorders grew to an unusual de-gree.

"This style passed because itwas an abnormal posture, andbecause fads pass away. But itspassing was to some extent dueto education, especially physicaleducation, among women. Toomuch cannot be said for that."

Dr. Halladay, head of the de-partment of anatomy of Des.Moines Still College, declared heand his twenty students havesupervision over 450 athletes inDes Moines schools. All are given.Osteopathic treatment, he said,

Freedom Is LimitedHe declared, however, that

"we don't have the freedom thatmedical men do. We work undertheir supervision." Dr. Halladayis a booster for his profession,and declared that "it is a comingthing."

Halladay demonstrated with afive-year-old skeleton on which

There's a longng for the old place,And the heart goes home once more

Where the old time kindly greetingsWaited by the open door.

When the faces, long since vanishedCome to us with loving smile,

As we're musing by the firesideDreaming of them all the while.

THE LOG BOOK

Football Dope

After much urging and hound-ing on the part of the Editor ofthe Log Book, we have decidedthat the only way to keep himquiet was to write up a little"dope" for the football squad.

The .season is drawing to aclose and we have two defeatsand two victories to our creditand dis-credit. In the last twogames the team has snapped outof a trance and played some foot-ball, with results known to all-two wins in as many days.

The squad has suffered frominjuries. Hannon is out for therest of the season with a badankle as a result of the Ellsworthgame. Schwab has been compel-led to quit because of an infectedright leg. We hate to lose bothof these men for even two games.

"Brownies" memento of theBuena Vista game is clearing upand we expect to see him runningthe team in the K.O.C. game.

Several of the men are drivingsingle and some a team of "Char-ley Horses." This breed of hor-ses is not indicative of speed, butwhen inoculated with such spirit-as was s hown in Assembly onTuesday, Nov. 4th, we are surethey'll be able to step prettylively in the two remaing games.

The teams had one day's work-out in the snow and the ;practicewas opened with a lively "Foxand Geese" game, after which theboys settled down to learn somenew plays the Coach had givenout.

The backfield has been strengh-thened by the addition of Sheetzat one half, Shaw at the other,Platt at full, and Brown at quar-ter. Davis, Stafford, Russell anda number of others are all readyto fill in the backfield at anytime.

The lineup is about the sameas it has been all season with theexception of Ross in at left end.We are glad to see this, as Bobbyhas all the stuff necessary to playreal football, and when he getsthe chance, he uses this stuff.Highland and Lillard are pushingRay Williams to ,a close race forthe other end.

With a two weeks rest betweenthe K.O.C. and Trinity games, wewill expect the team to bringback another scalp and close a.successful season.

The Power of Person-ality

The power of personality is oneof the greatest forces in modernlife. The man who would lifthimself above the crowd mustacquire it.

Personality is not often a God-given quality. It is possible, how-ever, for almost every man tocultivate and strengthen his per-sonality. Study and applicationwill develop this valuable asset.

Charles E. Mitchell, presidentof the National City Bank of NewYork, said recently:

"Graciousness of manner, dem-ocracy; good fellowship, in thebest sense; presence; carriage;the selection of proper languageand expression; these and a doz-en other qualities are the wea-ther vanes of character that indi-cate personality and they all canbe developed."

A man is judged by his char-acter, and character is indicatedby personality.

Avoid being eccentric, queer,moody and tempermental. Indus-try today is not searching forbrilliancy or genius. The level-headed man with good judgmentalways at his command and suf-ficient personality to impressthose about him that he knowswhat he is talking about, willrise above the erratic genius whois constantly reaching into theclouds for "the ideal."

Men with "strong personality"are in demand in every line ofmodern business as well as in thesocial world, but there are fewcalls for the genius who can lookinto the crystal ball and workcommercial miracles.

Let the other fellow talk oc-casionally-you can't learn muchlistening to yourself.

Some people have an idea thatto prove themselves optimiststhey must go around grinninglike idots.

Love at first sight may be allright, but my advice it, to takea second look before calling aminister.

You can do what you want todo, if you want to do it hardenough to do it.

I q Even As You and IHe was merely and average man.

His height was the averageheight;

He followed the usual plan,And came from his office at

night.

He had been just a freckle-facedboy,

Who made average marks athis books.

He matured with the wontedalloy,

And the common allowance oflooks.

His wife and his children, ofcourse,

Were about what the averagehad;

He lost out in stocks on thebourse,

And swore when his golf scorewas bad.

He kicked at the taxes he paid,He voted the regular way,He grumbled at every new

maid,And shaved off the stubble each

day.

His morals were good of a sort,He smoked two for a quarter

cigars,Kept up, through his paper, with

sport,And never got seats on the cars.

He slept the conventional eight,He never neglected a meal,

He got bare on the top of hispate--

And was killed by an automo-bile! (Maurice Morris in,

The New York Sun).

Are Our BodiesImmortal?

That death is not a naturalevent, but in its essence abnor-mal and accidental, and that bod-ily persistence through indefinitetime is a characteristic of allliving cells, is maintained by aneminent French biologist in arecent work reviewed by LucienChassaigne in Le Journal (Paris).The indefinite renewal of primi-tive animal life by division hasoften been cited by biologists, butuntil recently it has been be-lieved that this could not bemaintained forever. The work oftwo investigators in Russia, con-tinued for thirteen successiveyears, during which five thousandgenerations of one of these crea-tures were recorded, makes itprobable that this opinion is anerror and that living matter initself is not subject to naturaldeath. Writes Mr. Chassaigne:"Under the title, 'Immortalityand Rejuvenation in Modern Bi-ology,' Dr. Metalnikov, of thePasteur Institute, has just pub-lishe,d a volume that should beread by those who have deliber-ately decided to grow old and die.Here is the first sentence of theconcluding chapter:

"'What we have just writtenforces us to maintain our con-viction that immortality is thefundamental property of livingorganisms.' And further on. 'Old

Wife; 1. In good society, a pub-licity agent who advertises herhusband's financial status thruconspicuous leisure. 2. In thesub-merged tenth, a punchingbag and something handy forbatting up flies. 3. A man's men-tal mate, and therefore his com-petitor in the race for power.

CONCERNING MEN-Men do not vary much in vir-

tue; their vices only differ.Men in gym suits are all on an

equality."Men are like chairs," writes

a woman in foreign exchange."They vary in shape and size, butall can be set on.

"This, I repeat, is set forthunder the egis of a scientific es-tablishment that has no equal inthe world and of a scientistwhose opinion is universally re-spected. What shall we say of it?

"Most religious and philosophicsystems assert the immortalityof the soul. The idea seems con-tradictory to all that we know,or think we know, of animal life.Animals originate as a tiny germwhich becomes an embryo devel-oping into an adult organismthat grows old and finally dies.This means the disappearance ofall the faculties of life that soclearly distinguish it from an in-animate object. Now there is noscientific evidence to show thatat this moment the 'soul' doesnot disappear with the body, andthat it continues its existence

Legislation Big Subjectat Convention

"Legislation was one of the

most important subjects discuss-ed at the recent meeting of theMiddle Atlantic States Osteopa-thic Association," says Dr. Halla-day, who has just returned from

the East.

The Osteopathic law of thestate of New York was the insti-gating factor in the discussion.It seems that the Empire Statepractitioners are just beginningto realize that the supposed "highstandard" bill has been workingto their detriment rather than totheir advantage and are begin-ning to become worked up overthe matter. Upon investigation,they find'that their position hasbeen much weakened rather thanstrengthened as was predictedsome years ago when the legis-lation in question was passed.Numerically the number of Oste-opaths practicing in the state islower than eight or ten yearsago. They are not attractingsufficient new blood to off-setthe number that retire or dieduring the year. The situationis indeed becoming quite serious.A remedy is needed at once if theprofession is to progress in thatstate as it has in the others.

The present law requires, inaddition to the complete Osteo-pathic course, a year of highschool physics, chemistry and bi-ology. Then after completingthis augmented course, the doc-tor is not permitted to practiceObstetrics, Gynecology, nor Sur-gery. Some suggest the droppingfrom the college curriculums thethree prohibited subjects and re-placing them with the three highschool requirements, but thissuggestion meets with little or noapproval because college author-ities can not see the advantageof weakening the Osteopathiccourse, merely to comply withthe legislative whims of onestate out of forty-eight. Othersrecommend the addition of theextra requirements of New York,thereby extending the regularcourse of instruction a year, butthis plan does, not meet with thecollege approval for the samereason. Why should the Osteo-pathic colleges lengthen theircourses, increase the financialcost of the course, merely to ac-comodate one state? Such actionwould be absurd.

Yet another possible solutionwould be to drop the three pro-hibited subjects from the Osteo-pathic curriculum and in theirstead give the three high schoolrequirements to students whowere desirous of practicing inthat state, but this plan wouldnot be in harmony with the law,as it requires the complete Oste-opathic course of instruction, andwith the elimination of Obstet-rics, Gyneology and Surgery, theOsteopathic training would notbe complete.

The remedy must come from alegislative angle. It must comesoon or the profession will losethe prestige and foothold theyh.ave alreadyv acqruifred

The Osteopathic Lesion

The following letter was re-ceived by one of the studentsafter he had written his father,an Osteopath, regarding an argu-ment he had had with one of theProfessors in regard to the advis-ability of soft tissue work beforecorrecting a lesion, and as towhether the bony lesion was aprimary or secondary condition.It is real Osteopathy and we hopethat all who read it in thesecolumns will appreciate it as wellas we, who have read the originalletter:Dear Son:

Your letter of Monday came intoday and we are glad to notethat you seemed more satisfiedwith the last two game of foot-ball. We are hoping that youhave as good success with theK.O.C. when you splay them.

The Doctor you spoke of seemsto be like a lot more Osteopaths,who run the primary bone lesionto death. It is hard to imaginea condition in which we have alocking of an articulation that isnot maintained by the lesion ofthe periarticular tissues, andlargely the ligamentus tissues atthat. If there is an attempt toset the bony irregularity withouta reduction of the tissue tensionsurrounding it first, the bony ab-normality will recur in a shorttime because the lesioned con-dition will continue. In fact,stretching of the tissues aroundarticulations at fault is the bestmethod I know to use in treat-ment. When the tissues are thor-oughly relaxed the articulationtends to assume its proper re-lations. It is hard to conceive ajoint sticking without outsidetension.

A lot of lesions are broughtabout by a movement that is alittle wider than usual, thusstraining the ligaments slightly.The reaction of these ligamentsis contraction, and this tends notonly to limit movement, but tohold the bones in an abnormalrelationship. We don't think ofnerves to the fascia, but there iscertainly some factor there thatbrings about contraction of thistissue very rapidly in responseto certain impulses from sensorysystem of nerves. A large amountof what we have considered ascontracted muscle, I believe, isreally the contraction of the fas-cia of those muscles interferingwith the drainage from the mus-cle tissue.

In the case of the man withthe gastritis, you will probablyfind a tender lesioned area in thelower thoracic. This may be sec-ondary to lesions in the lowerlumbar which upset the balanceabove. Diet in such cases simplymeans, limit the quantity andvariety of food until your workon the lesioned area restores thestomach function. Don't try tofind food that a bum stomachcan utilize, but fix the stomachso that it can digest anythingwithin reason.

Are Our BodiesImmortal?

(Continued From Page 3)separately. Biologists can noteven conceive the separation ofsoul and body, so strong and in-dissoluble are the bonds thatunite all o'ur physic manifesta-tions with our bodily life. Animmortal soul for them wouldhave to mean an immortal body.But what. if it were even so?What if our bodies were reallyindestructible? This is whatDr. Metalnikov sets out to provescientifically.

"Death is a permanent andtangible phenomenon only in thecase of man and the higher ani-mals. It is not so for plants andfor the simple animals or pro-tozoans. These last, composedoften of a single cell, just observ-able under the microscope, arenevertheless without the chieffaculties that characterize thehigher animals. They move aboutby means of their vibratory cilia,seek their food, hunt creaturessmaller than they, react to irrita-tion of various kinds, and multi-ply. But this multiplication isnot effected by means of specialorgans as in the higher animals,but by the division of the wholeorganism into two equal parts.The common infusoria t h a tabound in fresh water thus divideonce or twice every twenty-fourhours. Each daughter cell con-tinues to live like the mothercell of which it is the issue; itfeeds, grows, and divides in itsturn. And never, in this con-stantly renewed cycle of theirlife, do we meet with the phe-nomenon of natural death, socharacteristic and so universalin the higher animals. The in-fusorium is subject only to ac-cidental death, such as we maycause by the addition to thewater where it lives, of somepoisonous element, or by heat.

"Experiments on this matterare of early date. The first wereby De Saussure in 1679. Havingplaced an infusorium in a dropof water, he saw it split up be-fore his eyes. Four days later itwas impossible to count the num-ber of creatures. Some authorsthought that this reproductivefacility was not unlimited. Mau-pas, who forty years since madea minute study of it and suc-ceeded in observing 700 succes-sive generations of a single spe-cies, thought that it was finallysubject to ofl! age and death.

"But the more recent work ofJoukovsky at Heidelberg, of Kou-lagin at Petrograd, of Calkins inEngland, of WAeissmann, and ofothers, leads to the contrary op-inion. The degeneration observedby these workers was due to auto-intoxication caused by not re-newipg the culture-medium.

"Decisive experiments weremade in Russia in 1907 by Wood-ruff and by Meltalnikov himself.Begun at Tsarkoi-Selo, they con-tinued until the tragic days ofthe 1917 revolution and were re-newed at the University of theCrimea. These investigatorstook an infusorium found in anaquarium, whose characteristicsare well determined, and in thir-4opn nv.cgrq- in 1 9n h-rad obtaineld

5,000 successive generations. Theyconsequently had come to studyminutely the conditions of repro-duction and nutrition. Theywere able to determine the arti-ficial causes that lead to disap-pearance or enfeeblement and toconclude that they were numer-ous and often apparently verytrival. Fortunately so, since thereproductive power is so great.A few figures may give some ideaof the energy at the disposal ofthis simple cell in the creationof living matter.

"If we suppose that each infus-orium divides once a day (itreally does so oftener), in thirtydays it would produce 1,073,741,-324 infusoria.

"In two months the numberwould be so great that it is hardto express it in figures. It willbe more vonvenient to do so by-dimensions.

"Supposing a cubic millimeter'contains about 1,000 infusoria, weshall have in forty days a billioncubic millimeters of infusoria ora cubic meter (about a cubic yd.)of living matter, in two monthswe shall have a million cubicmeters, and in four months thevolume of living matter producedby a microscopic creature wouldbe greater than that of the earthitself.

"According to Woodruff's cal-culations, an infusorium will pro-duce in seven years about 4,473generations, so a number of cellsexprest by the number 2 raisedto the 3,340th power. This wouldform a ,protoplasmic mass morethan 10,000 times as large as theearth.

"Some thought is necessary to'get an idea of the extraordinarycreative force possest by a microsscopic living cell that assimilatesand builds up its protoplasmwith such marvelous energy andspeed.

"In several hundred years, thenecessary conditions of nutritionand reproduction being main-tained, a single living cell wouldin its multiplication fill the en-tire visible universe, includingthe sun and planets.

"We are thus forced to saythat a unicellular body possesseswithin it the power of immortal-ity.

"Now we, ourselves, are madeup only by the juxtaposition ofsimple cells." (Literary Digest),

A marriage license is often thebest insurance policy against for-getfulness.

Life is full of ups and down--keeping expenses down and ap-pearances up!

A good motto for any marriedman. "Be sure you're right-then,put the soft pedal on that I-told-you-so stuff."

Men are like corks-some willpop and others have to be drawnout. It depends on the stuff theyhave in them.

A Round Trip

It is rather .difficult to chron-icle the events and happenings ofone hundred and thirty differentstudents in a strange town, but,we will try and do our best, ifyou feel that you have been neg-lected, remember that every hap-pening may not be advisable tobe put in print.

The D.M.S.C.O. team and pepsquad left the school campusshortly before the hour of eighton the evening of Nov. 6th andmnarched to the Union station,where they embarked upon thetwo special coaches, Kirkvillebound. The band was so windedfrom playing the march that theydecided there would be no' fur-ther music and we were lulled tosleep by the sweet strains pro-duced by "Red" Maxfield on thegas alarm. He also serenadedeach town he passed through.

A gentleman's stag party wasconducted in the smoking com-partment of the first car. Dom-inoes and Alabama Mah Jong be-ing the principle modes of enter-tainment. The latter game pre-dominated much to the enjoy-ment of some participants.

Arriving in Kirksville at 1:10a. m. we were greeted with a wel-come that was not even secondto the one we receive when wearrive home in the spring. Thiswelcome was made up of thegreatest part of the KK.O.C. stu-dent body and their band. Wewere greeted by the strains of"The Old Gray Mare." Our teamwas escorted to the StephensonHotel by the crowd and there leftso that they may secure a goodnight's rest.

On Saturday morning a parademade up of the students fromboth schools wended its way thruthe thorofares of the small butteeming town. The different or-ganizations of the K.O.C. wererepresented by very pretty andunique floats.

Before the train had arrivedat Kirksville, old Jupiter Pluviushad presented us with his callingcard in the shape of a slow driz-zle,. It continued to rain allnight, and the next morning wewe presented with sleet, hail anda driving blizzard. The lattercontinued throughout the day,stopping only after the game wasfinished.

Following .the evening meal theK.O.C. students and faculty en-tertained us with a dance in theGeo. A. Still Memorial Building.The music was furnished by PeteForsyth's orchestra and was verymuch enjoyed by everyone.

We are not able to find wordsof thanks to give the Kirksvillestudents for the way we were re-ceived and entertained by them.


D.M.S.C.O. vs K.O.C.

At 2:30 p. m. Nov. 7th the StillCollege "Sheepshearers" met theK. 0. C. "Rams" in mortal com-bat on the battle field of theKirksville State Teachers' Col-lege.

A blinding blizzard had beenraging since 11:00 a. m. and thefield was covered with a two inchblanket of snow, which had ob-literated the lines.

Still kicked off into the windto the RIms who returned theball a short distance. An ex-change of punts gave the Ramsthe ball in the Still half of thefield, but thruout the first per-iod the teams were unable toscore.

With the change of goals Stillwas strengthened by the strongwind from the north. Still kickedto the Rams' 15 yard line and theRams tried to run the ball backbut on the second down a disas-trous fumble by Swain was re-covered by Platt and Still hadthe ball on Kirksville's 10-yardline. From there it was only afew minutes until the ball wascarried over the Rams' goal bySheets. Thl:: ball had been ad-vanced by pure old-time footballright thru the center of the line.Every man in the back field hadhis chance on these plunges andeach made a gain. Sheets carriedthe ball over on an off tacklesmash, after the Rams had beensucked in towards the center ofthe line by the headwork of quar-terback B3rown,. Myers failed tokick the slippery oval over thecrossbar.

The third quarter started withStill playing with the wind againbut after much hard playing theperiod ended with neither sidescoring.

With the exchange of goals,the Rams started an aerial attackwhich at first was fruitless untilSoule, Kirksville's left end com-pleted a toss of Whitesell's andran for a 4'0 yard gain. He wasstopped from behind by Brown.At this point Still was penalizedfor tripping, and Kirksville hadthe ball on the Still one-yard line.In three plays the Rams were.able to push the ball over for atouchdown. The attempt forpoint after goal was unsuccessful,leaving the score tied, 6-6, andthe game ended with the samescore.

The game was marked by agreat deal of fumbling on bothsides. This cannot be blamed onthe players, as the ball was liter-ally an oval of ice. The playerswere forced to wear cotton glovesto protect their hands and thisalso hampered them in handlingthe ball,.

State License RenewalFees Past Due

The annual renewal fee of S1.00on certificates to practice Osteo-pathy in the State of Iowa, arepast due.

The State Board of Health in-forms us that this annual fee isdue and payable June 30th ofeach year, at which time all cer-tificates expire. The fee is to bepaid direct to the secretary ofthe examining board of the pr--fession issuing the certificate orlicense.

This is the first year this lawhas been in effect in the state,and there has been some is-understanding on the part of thepractitioners. The fee should besent in at once to the secretaryof the examining board and yourcertificate will be renewed untilJune 30th, 1926.

Masonic Club SponsorsDance

The Masonic Club of the col-lege were the sponsors of an all-college dance held at the GrantClub on November 20th. Themusic for the afair was furnishedby the Melrose Aces and was notlacking in pep.

Dr. A. B. Taylor, Dr. and Mrs.H. V. Halladay and Dr. and Mrs.Geo. Hurt acted as chaperones.

Canada to Pass Law

TORONTO, Nov. 19 (Special)"Too much importance is beingplaced upon limited 'trade dis-eases' recognized by the compen-sation boards," asserted Dr. W.0. Hillery, director of IndustrialHealth Service of the AmericanOsteopathic Association, who de-livered an address before thesemi-annual meeting of the On-tario Association of Osteopathshere. "The industrial army ofCanada and the United Statessuffered a loss of 300,00O,000working days last year, one-halfof which should have been pre-vented," he said.

i r, .E. . Millay, Montreal, talk-ing on behalf of the CanadianAssociation, stated that a Billwas to be put through the Houseat Ottawa this winter in theform of an amendment to theDominion Medical Act, wherebythe doctors of Osteopathy wouldbe accorded full recognition, inthat they possessed the samequalifications as the older medi-cal profession.

1926 Stillonian StaffElected

On the strength of her .abilityand past experience, the Seniorclass recently elected Lois IrwinRichardson, Editor-in-Chief ofthe 1926 Stillonian. As her firstassistant, the class chose D. H.Skidmore as Associate Editor.

This year the staff will havethe entire year to secure theirmaterial, will be guided by ex-perienced hands at the businessand will have the whole-heartedbacking of the student body.When we consider that the 1925year book was published in sixweeks by a group of students whohad had no experience and wassuch a decided success, it is hardto think what this volume will be.

The subordinate members ofthe staff- and the departmentaleditors are already hard at worksecuring their material, and wewill no doubt soon be hearingHomer Sprague in chapel ravingabout "glossy prints" and turn-ing out for class pistures.

It's up to the members of the zstudent body to get behind the "

staff and give them all the as-sistance possible. They can notdo all the work alone. Start nowto save and hand in the jokes of l~your favorite Profs., good snap-shots you take and various other Ithings that all go to make up a ,?

'25 Football Season EndsWith Scoreless Tie

The 1925 Still College footballseason closed November 21, whenthe Purple and White battledTrinity College of Sioux City toa scoreless tie.

The team left Des Moines Fri-day afternoon for the two hun-dred and fifty mile trip by motorbus. Arriving at Sioux City inthe evening the team enjoyed agood night's rest prior to thegame, so that when the whistleblew for the opening of the con-test, the team was in excellentcondition.

From the onset, the battle washard fought and was close frombeginning to end. Most of theplay taking place in the centerof the field. The game resultedin a punting duel with Platt ofStill holding his own with thestrong Trinity kicker.

The past season has indeedbeen a succcess from all angles,and Coach Sutton is already busyarranging the schedule for nextseason. Still will not suffergreatly by graduation, in num-bers lost. Captain Myers playedhis last game Saturday, and hisloss will be the greatest to theteam.

Pan-Hellenic Party

The first Pan-Hellenic party ofthe year was held November 13that the Hotel Commodore. TheMelrose Aces supplied the neces-sary musical encouragement andthe chaperones were Dr. and Mrs.Geo. Hurt, and Dr. A. B. Taylor.

Pan - Hellenic representativesfor this year are Iota Tau Sigma,Jones and Skidmore; Phi SigmaGamma, Rader and Elsea; AtlasClub, Evans and Reed.

Senior B's Elect OfficersAt a recent meeting of the

May, 1926 class, officers wereelected to guide their ship ofstate through the turbulent per-iod preceding graduation. ForPresident the class chose JohnVoss and as Secretary-Treasurer,W. R. Marlow.

Be courteous to all, but inti-mate with few: and let those fewbe well tried before you givethem your confidence. For truefriendsship is a plant of slowgrowth , and must. undergo andwithstand the shocks of adver-sity before it is entitled to theappellation. Let your heart feelfor the affections and distresses,of everyone, and let your handgive in proportion to your purse:remembering always the estima-tion of the widow's mite, thati't is not every one that askeththat deserveth charity: all how-ever, are worthy of the inquiry,or the deserving may suffer.

Do not conceive that fine clo-thes make fine men, any morethan fine featehers make finebirds. A plain genteel dress ismore admired, obtains more cred-it, than lace and embroidery, inthe eyes of the judicious and sen-sible. (George Washington in aletter to his nephew, BushrodWashington, 1783).

Fraternity NotesATLAS CLUB

The Atlas Club wishes to thankthe Axis Chapter of Kirksville,and also the Accacia Club, fortheir hospitality to us duringour .hort sojourn in the "Homeof Osteopathy."

Brother Wcofenden received avery mysterious call not long agoat 2:30 a. m. It was not an O. B.call, either. We hope he will ex-plain things soo'n.

Any Brother who desires togive a little money for a goodcause, see the writer of this col-umn. I am taking up a collect-ion to buy Brother Sheetz a car-ton of cigarettes. Did you evermeet him but what he wanted a"Camel "

Brother Dam has been thinkingvery seriously of . giving Osteo-pathy the "go by." He intendsto do quite extensive work alongthe line of "anatomical research."

There is a rumor around thatBrother Ward is trying to raisea mustache.

The second degree was giventhe pledges on Nov. 19th,. Wecongratulate the new Brothers.

Brother Voss is working hardwith one of the prominent danc-ing instructors to improve theCharleston.

The Inter-Fraternity dance wasenjoyed by all the Brothers. ThePan-Hellenic committee deservesa lot of credit for its success.

Brother Stan Evans is spend-ing all his spare time trying toincrease the speed of his Ford.He claims it will go 30 miles anhour now. Some car!"

PHI SIGMA GAMMATwo of our Brothers surprised

us by announcing their marriage.Both Brothers Conn and WeirflrPnichrl 7Pryrd v r, nnrad cir.rs. Conn-

gratulations, fellows.Brother Moco Elsea still makes

his nightly trip to the dormitoryto call up his girl who livesacross the street.

Our stove and other suppliesfor the new table have arrived-from the looks of things we sureare going to eat.

Brother Lard Lashlee, our newsteward entertained about twentywomen one afternoon recently.He said it was strictly business,but who knows.

Brothers Roy Davis, Greinerand Lashlee made a trip over onSixth avenue in the interest ofBeebe the other night. For par-ticulars, ask them.

The pledges all survived "HellWeek" in fairly good condition.Pledge Donaldson has some newplaymates in the "Bison" at oneof our local parks.

Monday night there were threewomen who wanted to nurse Bro.Pres Howe, when, being unableto get in touch with him on the'phone, they thought he was sick.How do you do it, Pres?

Brother Long hasn't fallen inlove for the last week or so.You're improving, Long.

IOTA TAU SIGMABrothers Shaw and Russel were

L week-end visitors in the Swede- metropolis this week. DuringLShaw's absence the employment

I agency was taken over by Bros.Nowlin and Wadkins.

Brother Marlow and PledgeRhode do not seem to have anytrouble in meeting their dates,but the great difficulty has beenin keeping with them after theyarrive. Tell a story, son.

From now on none of the Bros.are to stand on the registers ifthey ,are wearing their damp clo-thing. This is to aid the firemenin keeping the furnace going.

Brother Benin has purchased anew Snore Cure apparatus for thehouse,. The presentation tookplace a week ago last Mondaynight, with all of the fine move-ments that were appropriate insuch occasions. May the appar-at;us prove to be ever so approp-riate.

Pledge Geehart sent a brick tohis girl and in order to squarehimself he told her it was out ofthe state house.

From the way that Skidmorehas been watering things aroundthe house, we feel that he hasmissed his calling. He shouldhave been a milkman.

By the time Pledge Gephartleaves school he will have spentforty-five days writing letters toone person back in Ohio. Suchwere the figures after PledgeSluss had figured it all out.

"Three O'clock in the Morning"is the new tune that Shaw hasbeen singing, accompanied byPledge Herrick, since the Fordplant put on three shifts.

The Turkey Trot will be heldon the evening of Nov. 25,. Fromall indications it will be one ofthe big digs of the year.

England Appeals ForMore Osteopaths

In today's mail a letter froma o a i n G l u e s e s h r . n e- '

a woman in Gloucestershire, Eng-land, reads as follows: "We badlyneed a resident Osteopath in thissection. England is ripe for Os-teopathy; people are tired ofdrugs and operations and nursinghomes; we need an Osteopath inevery large town. London is fair-ly well provided.

"An Osteopathic physician didmore for me in a few treatmentsthan any M. D. or other treat-ment achieved during fourteenyears. It has cured three peopleI have sent, who would otherwisehave been dead, in an asylum, oroperated upon.

"I am for Osteopathy and withthe magazine help to spread thegood news wherever and when-ever I can. Those of us who havebeen cured or benefited by Osteo-pathy would like to have an over-hauling regularly,." O. M., 8-25.

A great deal of the joy of lifeconsists of doing perfectly, or atleast to the best of one's ability,everything which he attempts todo. There is a sense of satisfac-tion, a pride in surveying sucha work-a work which is rounded,full, exact, complete in all itsparts which the superficial man,who leaves his work in a slovenly,slip-shod, half-finished condition,can never know. It is this con-scientious completeness whichturns work into art. The small-est thing, well done, becomes ar-tistic.-(William Mathews).

K.O.C. Hospitality

The K.O.C. faculty and student'body are certainly to be congrat-ulated on knowing all the finepoints relative to the entertain-ment and care of visitors.

When the D.M.S.C.O. delega-tion arrived in the Missouritown at 1:10 in the morning, they-were met by a large majority ofthe K.O.C. students and faculty,and the local team was escortedto the hotel. The Kirksville fra-ternities and clubs had previous-ly made all necessary arrange-enents for the night's accomoda-

tions for the hords of visitorsthat descended upon them. As aresult, within a very short timeafter the arrival of the train, theentire gang was snugly "tuckedin" for the night.

In the morning the K.O.C. stu-dent body staged a "real" parade,composed of student organiza-tions, fraternity floats, bands andeverything that goes to make upa parade.

As a fitting climax to the day'sfuccess, the dance held in theevening at the Memorial Build-ing was thoroughly enjoyed byeveryone.

The entire program could nothave been improved upon, andthe K.O.C. is to be congratulatedupon the showing they made. Atrue fraternal spirit prevailed,and the student body and facultyof D.M.S.C.O. is anxiously await-ing an opportunity to recipro-cate.

EDUCATION

Education does not mean toteach people what they do notknow. It means teaching them tobehave as they do not behave.It is not teaching the youth theshapes of letters and the tricksof numbers, and then leavingthem to turn their arithmeticto roguery, and their literatureto lust. It means, on the con-trary, training them into perfectexercise and kingly continenceof their bodies and souls. It isa painful, continual and difficultwork to be done by kindness, bywatching, by warning, by pre-cept, and by praise, but aboveall-by example.-(John Ruskin).

The humblest bit of matter,half real as it is, has more claimon our reverence than the mosteloquent unreality that ever gotitself decked out in humanspeech.

All is alive, and it is one life,plainly an immortal life, thatanimates the whole.

The Man Behind theSmile

I don't know how he is on creeds,I never heard him say;

But he's got a smile that fitshis face

and he wears it every day.

If things go wrong he won't com-plain,

Just tries to see the joke;He's always finding little ways

Of helping other folks.

He sees the good in every one,Their faults he never men-

tions;He leas a lot of confidence

In people's good intentions.

You soon forget what ails youWhen you happen 'round this

man,He can cure a case of hypo

Quicker than the doctor can.

No matter if the sky is gray,You get his point of view;

And the clouds begin to scatter,And the sun comes breaking

through.

You'll know him if you meet him,And you'll find it worth your

while-To cultivate the friendship of

The "Man Behind The Smile."

Men should be judged,Not by their tint of skin,

The gods they serve,The vintage that they drink.

Nor by the way they fight,Or love or sin-

But by the qualityOf thought they think.

A Round Trip(Continued from page 1)

The different fraternity houseswere turned over to us and wecertainly appreciate their hospi-tality. We hope to do the samefor them next year when theycome to Des Moines.

Our train left at 1:45 a. m. andsoon after the dance we wereheaded back for Des Moines, andoutside of a few casualties andminor happenings, the returntrip was uneventful. One of theco-eds was frightened so by anapparation of a Neanderthal Manthat ;she slept little on the wayback.

We are only waiting until nextyear to welcome the K.O.C. uphere and return their hospitality

and beat them at football.By "GOSH"

Men who have any considerableamount of money never havemuch to say about it. Same ruleapplies to those having religion.

It is the eyes of other peoplethat ruin us. If all but myselfwere blind, I should neither wanta fine house not fine furniture.-(Franklin).

When you have learned how tobe friendly with your employeeswithout having them become fam-iliar with you you're the realboss.

From the Field

The letter, recently published,from Dr. Casey of Decatur, Ill.,has accomplished one purpose atleast. It has elicted a reply fromDr. W. T. Thomas, the presidentof the Washington OsteopathicAssociation, relative to the title"Bonesetter" as bestowed uponOsteopathic athletic aggrega-tions.

The Log Book always welcomesletters from the field, in factthey're too scarce. We only wishsome more of you fellows likeDrs. Thomas and Casey, woulduncork and let us know what youthink about things.

Here's what Dr. Thomas has tosay about "Bonesetters":

In the Log Book received todayI notice C. 0. Casey, D. O., letterregarding to the names appliedto Osteopathic physicians, viz:"Rubber Doctors" and "Boneset-ters." I well remember the firsttime I heard the latter name. Itwas back in Kirksville in 1898, inthe Columbian School of Osteo-pathy. I was assistant secretarywhen a letter came addressed to"M. L. Ward, L.B.S." I was puz-zled and asked Dr. Ward what itmeant. He explained to me thathe and Dr. Still some years priorto that were called "LightningBone Setters." Now Dr. Caseymay object to the name, but Iwould be tickled to be called"Lightning Bone Setter," a nameon par with those two most won-derful men as I knew them.

You will please ;pardron me if Iexpress myself like this: Wouldnot The Log Book do more goodfor Osteopathy if there was moreOsteopathy and not so muchsports in the pages? I do notmean long articles, but short onesthat the average young man andwomen would read.

Very truly,W. T. THOMAS, D. 0.

Doctors and Panaceas

All the world hunts for themiracle. Each human hopes torub an Aladdin lamp. Every pa-tient seeks a panacea to cure himeasily -and quickly of his ills.The physician in the good olddays of "the family doctor"taught his trusting patient thatwonderful healing powers werestored in every one of his pills,and with his faith untouched bymodern insidious doubt, the pa-tient listened to his advice andhe performed miracles with hispills and potions.

Cures, even miracles werethen, and are now, performed bymedicines, but if the doctorpromises a cure directly or in-directly and it proves to be onlya palliative or a false promise,what then? Will the patient orthe public retain confidence inthe noble art of medicine so pa-tiently and consistently mouldedby that ancient institution, "thefamily doctor"?

No, the present day doctor iseven now reaping the whirlwindof misplaced confidence in hisability. He rebels against theinsidious propaganda of thequack, the cultist, the naturecurist, and the whatnot. He says,"I am about the business of hu-manity. My citadel is fortifiedby prestige and service. Mystronghold, at least, will bespared. It cannot be stormed ortaken."

But the generals of ihe opposi-tion look at his fancied securityand laugh at his simple faith.The ramparts are old and worn,but the foundation is strong andglorious. Conservative counciland satisfied leadership have hin-dered rebuilding. They havefailed to dig beneath the moss ofdecay for vulnerability.

The surgeon has cluttered sur-gery with ovaries, appendices,tonsils, and cancers, removed un-der the plea that the knife wasthe panacea. But too often thesix weeks' waiting of the pa-tients for the promised curetrails along into months andyears of misery, worse than be-fore.

They asked for "bread" andwere given a "stone."

The referred patient trusting-

ly seeks advice for body ailments,He is told diagnosis is the thing.He drags wearily to the X-rayroom, heart, stomach, or otherspecialists. His anatomy is can-vassed thoroughly, yea, writtenin direful books. The diagnosisis made. What of a cure?

He asked for a panacea. He istoo often given a diagnosis. Thereis disappointment and despair,He therefore seeks the cult, thenature curist, and the quack,Here at least hope is offeredThe method is plain. Here is noknife and no gore; no mysteriousmachinery or threatened deathfrom an overdose. Thus anotherdisastrous shot is fired into theprecious facade of faith in theancient medical stronghold.

Medical leaders are blind orfthey would change the strategy;Medicine is an art, not a scienceas yet. A world estranged bydisappointment will not believewhen the real panacea is found.

Medical strategy for the fu-ture will offer prevention ratherthan panaceas and cures.-S. E,B., in the Journal of the Ameri-can Association for Medico-Phys-ical Research.

Why is it that a man will paya dollar to have mud smeared onhis face, but will howl like amadman if an auto splashes Sdrop of mud on his trousers?

Character AnalystSpeaks in Chapel

One of the most interestingand instructive speakers that hasappeared before the student bodythis year was Mrs. Lemuel E.Gibson, local Character Analystand Vocational Advisor.

Mr. Gibson's appearance wasthe result of invitations extend-ed by Drs. H. V. Halladay andLola D. Taylor who were theassembly conductors for the dayson which Mr. Gibson spoke.

As a subject for his discourse,Mr. Gibson chose the old master-piece by Hoffman entitled "Christin the Temple" and proceededto analize the various charactersof the painting.

Various emotions and the char-acter are portrayed by the ex-pressions of the face and thepositions of the hands, accord-ing to Mr. Gibson. In the analy-sis of the picture he drew atten-tion to the "Scornful Saducee"which demonstrates what hetermed the vital or animal typewhich is a splendid type of in-dividual if the mind is clean andexercises control over the ani-mal instincts. Next came the"Stern Stubborn Pharisee," whowas pictured as sitting erect andstiff in his chair with the openbook of laws on his knees intentupon the preachings of the boyJesus. From this character Mr.Gibson demonstrated how themusclature of the forehead andface indicated the stubbornnessof the subject, the strong bonydevelopment over the eyes indi-cative of vision and the leader-ship quality symbolized by theRoman nose. The "Keen Philos-opher" was the next considered-and-as:he--stood- in - the pictureliterally drinking in every wordof the speaker and weighing thethoughts brought forth in thisnew and striking manner, his ac-tions, position and appearanceindicated the type or characterof the man. His chin restingupon his hand meant deep ser-ious thinking. His keen eye,Grecian nose, eyebrow develop-ment, not so coarse as that ofthe "Stubborn Pahrisee," allpointed to his ability to sit andthink, to listen and not to makenor rely upon snap judgment.The next character analysed wasthe "Ernest Seeker after Truth."This individual had fine features,good chin and clear eyes. Theoutstretched hand was one of thestrongest indicators of the "Ern-est Seeker" part of the titlegiven the character. Next hetook u;p the "Mild Rabbi-whowas a hypocrit" and even beforeMr. Gibson had made any expla-nation of the character, youwould feel distrustful of that in-

ENGLISH MEDICO'SATTITUDE SCORED

The following article appearedin the November 2, 1925 issue of"Time," a weekly of high repute.The article appeared under thedepartment of Medicine and theauthenticity is above reproach.

"As a matter of fact few per-sons can have had more or bet-ter doctor friends than I. In-deed that is why my utteranceshave been so well informed."

Jauntily, endearing egotistGeorge Bernard Shaw penned theabove statement - plungedstraightway into a letter to theLondon Times wherein he scoredthe General Medical Council ofEngland* as "a trade union ofthe worst type-namely, a typein which entry into the tradeand the right to remain in itare at the mercy of the union."

After asserting that this body"enjoys powers which no politi-cal ruler in the civilized worldwould dream of claiming," Mr.Shaw proceeded to wax indignantagainst the Council for blacklist-ing not only osteopaths but "anyphysician who dares to assist anosteopath as his anesthetist."

The letter then recounted howthe patients of Herbert Barker,

by the college for the upperJunior and the Senior classes,affords the student a wide andvaried classification of human illsfrom which to gain his practicalworking knowledge of the sci-ence.

The following article is a re-port made by a member of thesenior class on one of the caseshe treatedi in his routine clini-cal work.

"Among the cases that I havetreated in the clinic, one hasbeen outstanding and has re-sponded so readily to Osteopathytreatment that I have writtenthis report.

It was a case of "SleepingSickness," so diagnosed by thetwo medical doctors that wereon the case before an Osteopath-was called. The following is thehistory of the case.

A little girl, eight years old,on or about January 5, 1925, was,suddenly taken sick, became un-conscious .and talking almostconstantly for two days. Soonafter she became unconscious aMedical Doctor was called tosee' the child but was unable todo anything to relieve the condi-tion. Then a "Child Specialist"who is well known Medical manin this city, was called and re-mained on the case for aboutseven weeks. During this timeseveral blood examinations weremade and he finally pronouncedit a form of sleeping sickness.His treatment also failed to se-cure results.

It was at this time that themother of the little girl was ad-vised by a friend to try an Qs-teopath. Being willing to tryanything that might give relief,she called Dr. H. V. Halladay,who was in charge of the clinic.I was asked to go with the Doc-tor and after he made the ex-amination I was instructed howto treat the child. It is impossi-ble for me to describe the con-dition of the child and when Ifirst saw the case I thought thatit would be useless to treat. Imade this remark to Dr. Halladayas we left the house and his an-swer was that we had everythingto gain and nothing to lose, be--cause of the medical treatmentfailed in the first seven weeks:surely we would not be severely-criticised if we failed- at thistime.

I treated the case three timesa week for five weeks, two timesa week for seven weeks and oncea week until October 15th. Thetreatments consisted of a thor-ough relaxation of all muscula-ture along the spinal column,movement of the spinal column

IDES MOINES STILL COLLEGEOF OSTEOPATHY

'President --..... S. L. TaylorEditor -..-..-..-------. Don Baylor


Wishing You-

We have always contended that-there is no season more beauti-ful than Christmas time. It isthe one period of the year whenthe whole world comes morenearly into perfect accord, andthe tenderness of that Divine in-spiration "Good Will To AllMen," creeps into the hearts ofall mankind. It's wonderful-this great holiday season whenhates are forgotten, when suspi-cion is supplanted by perfect un-derstanding, when "love thyneighbor" becomes, instead of aneglected scriptural admonition,the actual heart-thought of theworld.

Grander still would it be ifthe people of the earth mightcome to know this wonderfulseason with its universal goodfeeling throughout the entireyear and during all the agesto come rather than for a fewweeks only at the end of eachtwelfth month.

That such a day is fast ap-proaching is our hope-a daywhen the Golden Rule will be notan ideal alone, but a moral lawcheerfully obeyed because thesouls of men have become cleanand they love virtue for virtue'ssake.

Here's our trust then that theDes Moines Still College of Os-teopathy in its pursuits of theloftier principles of life anddealings with its fellows may aidin the bringing about a condi-tion so wonderful to conceiveand that each of you, its repre-sentatives, may do your part, nomatter how humble, in hasteningits coming into the realm of thethings that are.

In keeping with this pleasantthought and the joyful days up-on us we wish you all a MerryChristmas, a Happy New Year,and no end of those things whichbring peace and contentment to4-ha hiimnan a.trQt-

The Joy Killer

In a school of this kind, itseems as though, we always havea few joy killers, wet blankets,gloomy gusses, or whatever termone might wish to use in desig-nating this type of student. Likethe poor, they are with us al-ways. As soon as one graduates,unbeknowingly an underclassmancreeps in to take his place.

This type of fellow is one whonever sees the sunshine. He isthe last to class, and the firstone out when the bell rings. Al-ways complaining about this,that, and 'tother thing. The pro-fessor does not give the rightkind of dope in his lecture. Theofficeforce is inefficient, and, toadd insult to injury, he must takecourses on the curriculum hedoes not think he needs. Regard-less of the importance of thesubject, or the effort put forthby the instructor in presentingit, the wet blanket sits idly byand practically ignores the wholething. Then he kicks because hedoes not get anything out of thecourse, and immediately proceedsto condemn the school for hisown short comings. He is thefellow who is always opposed toanything that would further ourcommon interests. Insists onsmoking in the hall, is the lastone to support a social functionof any kind, and does everythinghis perverted mind can think ofto make himself, as well as thosearound him, miserable.

This is, indeed, a very uncom-plimentary attitude to carry in-to the field, in case a man of thiscaliber, stays in school longenough to graduate. Instead ofboosting his own profession, andfellow practitioners, he will beheaping coals of fire upon him-self and the profession in gener-al. This, we well know, wouldnot attract many patients, and, ifby chance, one did drop in, hewould not stay long, or return foranother explosion.

Now would it not be better forall concerned, if these few joykillers, would get over on thesunny side of the stream, andget in the swim. How muchmore pleasant it would be, forall concerned, if the wet blanketswould suddenly waken up andboost just as hard and persistentas they knock.

Boost and the World boosts withyou;

Knock and your on the shelfFor the world gets sick of the

one who kicks,And wishes he'd kick himself.

Boost when the sun is shining,Boost when it starts to rain,If you happen to fall, don't lie

there and bawl,But get up and Boost again.

Boost for the school's advance-ment,

Boost for the things sublime;For the chap thats found on the

topmost round,Is the Booster every time.

The old saying about being "ascrazy as a loon," should be revis-ed to "as crazy as a Marathondancer," or "as crazy as a humanfl-r"

(Continued from page 1)dividual if you were to meet himin life. The long nose, pig eye,and the full. protruding lower lipare the things which call to yourmind a grasping, selfish individ-ual who although he would ap-pear to be an easy going thor-oughly reliable old man, youyourself would not care to trustout of your sight. Then the lastcharacter was the Boy Jesus. Thecharacteristics as portrayed byHoffman on his immortal canvassdid not require the aid of ananalyst to explain the individual.Gentility, refinement, wisdom,personlity and a hundred and oneof the desirable characteristicsfairly radiated from this charac-ter,.

Following the analysis of thecharacters of the picture, Mr.Gibson gave some demonstrationsof his work by analyzing stud-ents, picked at random in theassembly room. The little man-nerisms, that one effects and nev-er thinks are of the greatest im-portance in indicating the char-acter of an individual. The cor-rection of irregularities is ofgreatest importance to the stud-ent body because of the profes-sion they are hoping to enter inthe near future.

Following the conclusion of hislecture, Mr. Gibson was keptbusy for a half hour at least an-swering the queries of interestedstudents. This lecture has byfar been the best we have hadthis year and we are in hopesthat Mr. Gibson may be pre-vailed upon to lecture again be-fore the student body.

"Lissen," says the other Bozo."When No. 7 on the Rock Islandgets ready to leave the stashun,she has got her steam all up, an'ready quite a while befoah pul-lin' out time comes."

We have heard some fellerssayin' that ther ain't no Osteo-pathy bein' put out in theseclasses hear at skule, from whatI gather from these birds theirdefinishun of Osteopathy is likewhut we all call a Kiropractor,nothin' but bone crackin' an'manipulations. A good Kiro isbetter than an Osteopath whohas that conception of hisscience.

D.M.U. Students Put onMusical Thrill

The students from the DesMoines University treated the D.M, S. C. O. student body to agalaxy of musical thrills lastweek in assembly. The programwas wide in range and includedeverything from the operas tothe latest jazz numbers, vocaland instrumental.

The male quartet, accompaniedby Miss Carlson, sang severalpleasing numbers and were onlypermitted to rest by promisingto "do some more."

The star performer of themorning, however, was Mr. NeilGarber, who demonstrated, asonly he can, the wonders thatmay be accomplished with a ban-jo. Mr. Garber's first numberwas the "Evening Star" fromTanhauser by Wagner. The stud-ent body it is safe to say neverassociated the opera with a ban-jo but after this demonstrationcould not get enough. The nextselection was Sousa's famousmarch, Stars and Stripes. In therendition of this number a slightplay on the part of the listenersimagination was all that was allthat was necessary to conjure upvisions of the entire band pa-rading down the street.

The ovation given Mr. Garberby the student body, on the:closeof his part of the program, wasby far greater than any ever ac-corded a speaker or an entertain-er in the college.

Following Mr. Garber, MissCarlson played a piano solo,"Impromptu Fantasie," by Chop-in and the meeting was closed bya group of numbers by 1,ithequartet.

The college certainly appre-ciated the interest shown by thestudents of Des Moines Univer-sity as manifested by their com-ing down to take part in ourchapel programs. It is hopedthat we may be able to recipro-cate in some manner.

PERSONALS

Paul Barton, '27, is back inclass again after a two weekssojurn at the Des Moines Gen-eral Hospital where he enjoyedthe ecstacies of an appendectomy.

Mrs. H. V. Halladay, who wasrecently operated on at the DesMoines General Hospital for ap-pendicitis, is making a splendidrecovery.

The Faculty and Student bodyextend their sincere sympathy toJack Voss, '26, in his hour of be-reavement at the death of hisfather.

Dr. and Mrs. R. V:. Barrick ofBlackwell, Oklahoma, are theproud parents of a baby boy,Richard Vernon, born December5. Dr. Barrick graduated fromD. M. S. C. 0. in 1913 or '14.

I am asking you to look for-ward to a time when civilizationwill have changed its directionfrom the quarrelsome work ofexploiting the material world tothe co-operative work of devel-nIiping the spirit of man.

(Continued from page 1)famed "bone setter," "sufferedterrible agony under his treat-ment" until a practitioner, Dr.Axham, through realizing thathe would incur the anger of theGeneral Medical Council thoughtit his duty to offer his servicesas an anesthetist. . . . The Coun-cil found him guilty of 'infamousprofessional conduct' and de-prived him of the right to ;prac-tice medicine ...

"Herbert Barker, for the cureshe effected among War woundedsoldiers, received the honor ofknighthood and obtained practi-cal, if irregular, recognition ofhis skill while Dr. Axham, noWa very old man, being deprived ofhis means of livelihood, has beenin considerable financial straits.

"The General Medical Council(privately) holds that the fourfamous surgeons who petitionedthe Prime Minister to have Sir'Herbert knighted, in recognitionof his skill as a great manipula-tive surgeon, are guilty of 'infaa-mous professional conduct' inwhich they were abetted by theKing... . . But it does not acton its views because the Kingand his advisors are not so help-less as Axham was."

Mr. Shaw went on to say:"Leaving that aside, I have my

own interests and grievances asa citizen. My wife suffered fromlaming traumatic dislocation foreight years. Thanks to the ob-solete training maintained by the'General Medical Council, regis-tered surgeons were unable tocorrect it. They did not ,pretendto. Their final verdict was, 'Youmust go to Barker.' But theGeneral Medical Council said'If you go to that blackleg youshall howl for it, as we will ruinany man who dares administer ananesthetic.' And in fact the op-eration, which was completelysuccessful, was performed with-out anesthetic, though I hastento add that this was the effectof my wife's curiosity.

"Later on, in an accident I dis-placed one of my own bonesrather badly and again, thoughnothing could exceed the kind-ness of the registered medicalgentlemen on the spot, they wereunable to replace it for want ofperfectly well known techniquewhich every qualified surgeonshould have at his fingers' ends,It took me ten days to get toBirmingham, where an Americandoctor of osteopathy, also classedas a blackleg by the GenaralMedical Council, set me right aft-er 75 minutes of skilled manipu-lation ...

"No wonder I am overwhelmedwith requests from medical so-cieties in all the medical schoolsof London to lecture to them onrthe situation. But I have noth-ing more to say than I have al-:ready said often clearly enoughand I simply dare not use thelanguage that the ablest leadersof the profession pour out on it."

A doctor is a man who, will ad-vise you to rest, and then makeyou work your head off to payfor the advise.

FIELD MEN!ATTENTION

D. M. S. . 0. is badly in needof a new batch of students! Thereis only one source of supply avail-able to the college to meet thisneed. That is the field men andalumni of the institution. It isyour one duty to your almamater!

In past years you have re-sponded nobly and we are expect-ing you to do the same this yearand help make the class of Jan-uary, 1930, the best on record.

The one drawback, if you willpermit the expression, or the onepoint on which the profession hasfailed to equal its record of prog-ress, is the constant, ever-increas-ing supply of raw material nec-essary to build up the rank andfile of its personnel. If the Os-teopathic profession is to con-tinue to grow and expand and ithas during the past years, thecolleges must receive, twice ayear, a new group of men andwomen to take up the work. Thenumber in the field must increasein greater proportion, each year,than it decreases. Throughoutthe past, the number of practic-tioners has practically stood at astand-still. And if Osteopathicprogress is to continue, this stateof affairs must cease to exist. Toaccomplish this purpose, everyfield man, who has the ultimatesuccess and development of hisprofession at heart, should makea solemn resolution to send atleast two new students per yearto one of the seven colleges. Inthis manner, the profession wouldenjoy a constantly increasing,healthy growth from naturalsources.

Alumni! Now is the best timeon earth to start this perpetualgrowth movement for your col-lege. Send a minimum of onenew student for the January classand then begin to look for twofor next September's class. Putold D. M. S. C. O. at the topof the list for enrollment, too!

Those Who StayedMany and varied are the occu-

pations of those students who re-mained in the city over the holi-day vacation,

A majority of them are keptbusy from morning til night, andsome during the wee sma' hours,attending the vast horde of clinicpatients who recognize no holi-day. There has been no cessationto the clinical activities of thecollege during the vacation pe-riod and as a result these eligi-ble who remained in town aregetting all the work they canhandle.

Musical Program at LastAssembly

An excellent musical programwas arranged and conducted byDr. Robert Bachman, head of theDepartment of Obstetrics, on theFriday before Christmas recess.

Although a number of the stu-dents had left for home, the as-sembly room was well filled whenthe nine forty five second bellrang. The meeting was openedby a few remarks by the Deanand two or three songs by thestudent body.

Dr. Bachman then took chargeof the program and a trio com-posed of Mrs. Alma GarberBrodges, piano, Earl Shaw, saxo-phone and Dr. Bachman, cello,rendered several very pleasingnumbers. Mr. Shaw played twosolos which were very well re-ceived and Dr. Bachman alsoplayed two solos.

The program was highly appre-ciated by the audience, moresobecause of the fact that the stel-lar performers were our ownfolks. Dr. Bachman can alwaysbe counted upon for good music.

In the spring a young man'sfancy lightly turns to what thegirls have been thinking aboutall winter.

From the Field

The following letter was re-ceived from Dr. Leslie S. Keyesof Minneapolis, Minn. After com-menting on several general top-ics the Doctor's letter continuesas follows:

"I was particularly interestedin the excursion to Kirksville forthe football game. It remindedme so much of the first excur-sion which we conducted twenty-one years ago. At that time itseemed almost impossible to geta corporals guard lined up, but atthe eleventh hour we succeededin filling three coaches.

"I was chairman of the com-mittee on decorations and tiedlarge banners on the cars. Toadd to the excitement I wascalled to an "0. B." case in acolored family at five o'clock inthe morning. I made my call,helped tie on the banners andleft on the train at six o'clock.That is a pace hard to beat forDes Moines Still College. I amenclosing a picture which youmay be able to use, if not pleasereturn to me for my scrap book."

We have always been afraid toget shaved by a deaf and dumbbarber. He might be feeling.lchtt.v

50 Per Cent Subscribefor '26 Stillonian

With the initial call forpledges of subscription to TheStillonian '26, approximatelyfifty per cent of the total stu-dent-body signed their cards.(Let's make it 100%).

During special chapel held re-cently the staff was introducedand a tentative outline submittedof the plans for the annual. Mosteveryone understands that ittakes more than just the work ofthe staff to "put over" such workas the publication of a year book,and our staff is taking this op-portunity thanking the studentbody for their early support andcontinuance of this excellent sup-port until the books are deliveredto you.

Now is the time for everyonein the college to look up thosesanspshots and turn them in tothe art director, they are thelife of the college and of greatimportance in successfully pro-ducing books such as we antici-pate having. Write your nameon the back of the prints NOWand turn them in so that the lastfew minutes will not find manyleft out.

Several additions have beenmade in the staff personnel. Inthe new appointments we have:

Ross Richardson, assistantbusiness manager; P. W. Bryson,advertising department; F. L.Lindbloom, advertising depart-ment; C. A. Ward, circulation de-partment; Dean Elsea, circula-tion department.

Let's have a ONE HUNDREDPER CENT "STILLONIAN."

CAGERS DROP SEA-SON'S OPENER

The D. M. S. C. 0. quintet lostthe opening game of the seasonafter a hard fought battle withthe "Pella Dutchmen" of CentralCollege. Throughout the firsthalf of the game the Purple andWhite were playing .an open de-fense through which the Bologna-eaters had little difficulty irnshooting the ball for their coun-ers. However in the secondstanza, the Osteo's tightened up,changed their plan of attack anddemonstrated how D. M. S. C. 0.can play the "hard-wood" past-time.

Central was still in the gameand the final result was in theirfavor. The game was fast andclean and gave the coaches ofboth teams an excellent oppor-tunity to try out their respectiveteams and plans of defense andoffense. The local prospects areexceedingly good for a whirl-wind aggregation of basket-tos-sers.

----- TH E -----

AS the old year draws to a closeand a new one is about to take its

place, D.M.S.C.O. is signing off for 1925and extends to you, best wishes for a

New Year of Health, Wealthand Prosperity.

THE ROUND UPThis hyar state of Ioway is

noted for its corn, th' cob an'bottle types. Naow to go alongwith th' corn we must hav cribs,the' is 2 types of cribs too; corn-crib an' exam crib, Ioway hasplenty of both kinds, th' las' men-tioned kind seem tu grow besthere in Des Moines and espesh-ully at Still College.

Naow I dont want y'all tu getme wrong on this hyar proposi-tion, I think that a crib is a won-derful thing, not only the corn-crib but th' exam-crib also, th'last is very valuable because yosho hav to look up what yoaregoin' to take th' exam in, how-somever if yo have to use thecrib to take the exam it aintdone yo a particle of good, afterth' crib has been prepared yoshould know th' stuff so wellthat yo wont need to use it tuwrite yo paper.

They is a certain class of stu-dents which think that they isslippin' somethin' ovah on th'perfesser when they can use acrib an' get by without gettin'caught. Th' only person they arefoolin' is themselves' y'.all wantto remember that when yore inth' field practicin' yo caint takea crib along on an emergencycase or on any other kind of acase, so yuh had better learn thestuff so yuh can keep it in yohaid and yo can never misplaceit.

Th' man what uses a crib caintpossibly respect hisself an' hecaint expect anyone who seeshim usin' one to respect himpussonly I dont feel that the low-down feelin' a man gets fromusin' one will pay for th' gradehe gets in the subjeck. On stateboa'd exams yo caint possiblyuse a crib because they is a raftof eagle eyes roamin' up an' downthe aisles lookin' fo jest sechkind o' goin's on an' if theycatch yuh its yo hips, yo can seewhat yo will be up against if yoare in th' habit o' relyin' on acrib to get yo grades for yuh.

Spect I had better run out an'gather a few ears of corn (popCorn) so that I can put in mycrib an' have them to pop fo nextissue until then I'll remain,

Those Who Stayed(Continued from page 1)

are endeavoring the hold down asmany of the brothers jobs as pos-sible, and as a result put in theday chasing from one restaurantto another, and then back again.The department stores were alsobenefited by the number whoare holding the fort, so if yousee a profusion of new socks,neckties, etc., don't mention ittoo loud.

And then to, there is that pe-culiar type of the "genus homo,"who stayed in the city to preparefor the coming engagement withthe Honorable Mr. State Board.It would be difficult, indeed, topredict, or even guess at theamount of studying these seriousminded individuals have accom-plished, but we trust it was suf-ficient to warrant the effort.

The faculty, as per usual, havebeen busily engaged taking careof those who either forgot or elsecompletely ignored the capacityof their stomachs on Christmasday and in picking out obscurepoints for semester exams whichcome shortly after the conclu-sion of the holidays.

Lastly we have those few stu-dents who remained in DesMoines for mere social reasons.These are seen to flourish onlyat night and under the dazzlingglare of the bright lights. Likethe owl, they sleep during theday.

All in all, it has been a verysuccessful vacation from allstandpoints, and everyone is an-xious for it to be over so thatthey might get back on the joband "get it over with."

A colored instrumental sex-tette was riding in a flivver ontheir way to play for a dance,when it was chased by a yelp-ing dog with a tin can tied tohis tail. That evening, as a nov-elty number, they tried to repro-duce the medley of sounds emit-ted by the flivver, the dog andthe can-and thus was "jazz"originated.

"If a man had put a hundreddollars in a savings bank twentyyears ago," said the statisticianafter dinner, "it would amountto over two hundred dollars now,and he could buy almost as muchfor it now as he could havebought with the original hundredat the time he began to save."-N. Y. Sun.

There are two kinds of discon-tent in the world; the discontentthat works, and the discontentthat wrings its hands. The firstgets what it wants, and the sec-ond loses what it has. There'sno cure for the first but success;and there's no cure at all forthe second.-Gorgon Graham.

The Next Influenza: EpidemicAnother epidemic of influenza-

can not be staved off by methods-of quarantine and isolation, ac-cording to Dr. E. 0. Jordan, headof the University of Chicago de-partment of bacteriology, who'discussed the efficacy of variouspreventive measures before theAmerican Public Health Associa-tion in St. Louis recently. Prac-tical difficulties in the way ofefficient vaccination on a world-wide scale during an influenzaoutbreak seem so insuperable, weare told, that we can hardly make'it the basis of a protective cam-paign. Face masks Dr. Gordoncharacterized as having limitedapplicbility. Chlorin and similargases he dismissed because theyhave not yet proved of decisive'value. He continued, as quotedin Science Service's Daily science'News Bulletin (Washington):

"I believe, however, that some-thing can be done to lower theattack rate in favorably situatedsmall groups, to protect some in-dividuals altogether and to les-sen the virulence on the part ofthe accessory microbes. Difficultto apply, and uncertain of. suc-cess as it may be, the minimiz-ing of contact seems at presentto offer the best chance we haveof controlling the ravages of in-fluenza.

"It is now clear that the firstestimates of the loss of lifecaused by the influenza epidemicof 1918 were too low. The dis-closures of the census of BritishIndia of 1921, and other data thathave since come to hand, makean estimate of 20,000,000 deathsin the whole population of theworld probably not wide of themark. This is comparatively theworst catastrophe of the sortthat has visited the human racesince the Black Death of theMiddle Ages.

"Judging by the past, nothingis more certain than that weshall some day have another visi-tation of this destructive infec-tion. It is not to be doubted thatif it were to descend upon ustomorrow we would, as public-health workers and students ofthe disease, be little if at all bet-ter equipped to deal with it thanwe were seven years ago. It isconceivable, however, that if weoccasionally remind ourselves ofthe gaps in our knowledge weshall be in a position to studymore advantageously the mani-festations of the disease. Thereare certainly also lines of directinvestigation which can be pros-ecuted today with some hope ofrendering ourselves better pre-pared."

If the influenza was not a newdisease in most parts of theworld it certainly was greetedlike one and behaved like one,Professor Jordan continued. Inmany parts of the world the timeof importation of the new dis-ease, into a region where the so-called endemic influenza had pre-viouslf prevailed, could be speci-fed to a day. "Its introductioninto certain army camps in theUnited States is known to theday and hour," Dr. Jordan stated,

Mid-Year GreduationPlans Materialize

Plans for the Mid-Year gradu-ation exercises, that will be heldin the college auditorium Thurs-day evening, January 21st, 1926,are about completed.

Dr. Chas. S. Medbury will de-liver the Commencement address.The Senior "B" class are to be incharge of the decorations.

At this particular time, themembers of the class are busilyengaged in checking up on treat-ment credit and time attend-ance, the two main "bug-a-boos"of all senior classes. Final ex-aminations and study for the-var-ious State Boards examinationsare also occupying the major por-tion of their idle hours.

iOsteopathy Without Limitation

"As Others See Us"The fellowing article is com-

posed of excerpts from an articlewhich appeared under the sameheading in the December issue ofthe "Open Forum Bulletin" whichis published by the Illinois Os-teopathic Association, Incorpora-ted and edited by D. E. C. And-rews. The writer of the originalarticle is a layman, and his ob-servations carry a terse messageto the Field Doctor, the newgraduate and to the undergradu--ate student.

Be Proud of Your Pro-efession'"Lincoln once said 'I like to seea man who is proud of the placein which he lives. I like to see aman live so that the place inwhich he lives will be proud ofhim.' So with Osteopathy. Beproud of your profession andpractice it so that the public willbe proud of it and of you as itsrepresentative. You have a rightto be proud of its accomplish-ments in serving humanity, inhealing many aches, pains, andsufferings that would otherwisego unallayed. You have a right tobe proud of future achievementsthat are sure to come. Healingis not so much a profession as itis an art. An art as old as therace, practiced before the dawnof history, to be sure in primi-tive ways, but practices to thebest of knowledge and ability inthat far off day. This .art has as-sumed many forms of expressionuntil at present thru long proces-es of evolution, both forward andbackward, we think of it in termsof medicine.

"Osteopathy, it would seem, isa revival of an all too much neg-lected and hitherto unrecognizedschool of the healing art. It rec-ognizes certain evident principlesmagnifies them, enriches them,analyzes them, and then appliesthem to humanity's need. Thereal Osteopath, the one who istrue to his profession, physically,scientifically, ethically and psy-chologically, is doing his utmostnot only to help and cure presentillness, but in addition bends allhis energy to prevent sickness byproper treatment and informa-tion. The old idea of keeing thepatient ignorant and you keephim humble, is all "bunk" now,for the average individual isreading, hearing, and radioingideas, notations and informationthat must be reckoned with. Thebest way to reckon with it is tofrankly impart methods of livingthat along with proper treatmentwill keep the individual fit. Anounce of Osteopathic preventionis worth a pound of medicine.Help nature help herself. Helpthe patient know himself and

help youself to know your pa-tient. Know yourar art and you willneed to make no apology. Youwill find success professionally,socially, economically.

Professional Loyalty"Many centuries ago the Mas-

ter of men gave to the world theevident truth that a "house divi-de:d against itself shall notstand." Lincoln used this sametruth most effectively in a timeof a perilous national crisis, whenhe said that a nation dividedagainst itself could not stand.So it is with your profession.There must be a professional loy-alty that binds you together forthe good of all concerned. Lifeis a fight for fame, a struggle forsuccess, a survival of the fittest.This law operates not alone inphysical life, but in all the variedexpressions of life mental, soc-ial, economic. This fact accountsfor the present rise of organiza-tion that magic wand used soeffectively in the hands of Amer-icans. No matter how great yourproduct, no matter how great theneed of the product be, if thereis not sufficient organization totake the product to the needyconsumer--it avails nothing. Os-teopathy is the product, the un-informed but needy public is theconsumer. Now, rally the bandtogether as others do in otherlines of useful endeavor, and tellthe world what you have.

"As far as Illinois, or any otherstate, is concerned, each andevery Osteopath, no matter howsuccessful or unsuccessful, mustinvest himself in the common or-ganization that will place Osteo-pathy favorable before the pub-lic in .a compelling manner

"The writer knows a man ofadvanced years, who had achievedphenominal success in his lineand is still actively planning and.c.irecting great business enter-prises at an age when most menare aging, tottering and dying.HeI attributes most of his abilityto so "carry on" to the fact thathe maintains at his constant com-mand, his personal Osteopath,who helps him to "keep fit," andprevent the usual old age infirm-ities. Poor, suffering humanity isthat man you are the attendant.He must know of your helpful-ness-you must know of his need.Get together. Be loyal to yourprofession, your fellows, yourself,the public. United you live, andserve, and succeed-singly youare prey for those who are organ-ized and against you. In unionthere is strength in numbersthere is prestige.

Try to see yourself as otherssee you, for greater effectiveness.Be proud of your profession andits opportunity. Be loyal to yourprofession and unite for the mu-tual good of all concerned."

When you can't get to sleep bycounting sheep, "kid" yourselfinto the belief that it is morn-ing, and high time you were get-ting up. If you're normal, thiswill put you to sleep at once!

The only two who can live ascheaply as one, are the flea andthe dog.

Worse than a quitter is thechan who is afraid to begin.

THE LOG BOOK

Handedness andEyedness

These are the terms applied tothe predominant use of eitherright or left hand or eye. Ac-cording to a recent theory, ifone is right-handed he is alsorighteyed, and vica versa. Thereare puzzling exceptions, but ingeneral the rule holds, we aretold by the reviewer of a recentbook on the subject by BeaufortS. Parson, an American investi-gator. Mr. Parson develops a newtheory of the origin of "handed-ness," which connects it directlywith that of "eyedness." Saysthe reviewer, writing in TheBritish Medical Journal (Lon-don):

"Plato believed that handed-ness was the result of nursingand early education, and manyothers have followed him. SirThomas Browne declared thathandedness is 'the result of in-stitution and not of nature.' SirGeorge Murray Humphry of Cam-bridge exprest the opinion that'there is. no anatomical reascn forit with which we are acquainted,'and many others have acceptedthis position. Cunningham ac-cepted the hereditary theory,and gave some examples to showthat left-handedness is transmit-ted from parents to children.Professor Jordan of the Univer-sity of Virginia, after collectingmany pedigrees, concluded thatthe appearance of left-handed-ness is sporadic, and in generalconforms to the Mendelian lawof inheritance.

"Warlike theories have beenpropounded, and the necessity forprotecting the heart with theleft arm. More recondite expla-nations have been sought in un-equal blood supplies of the twocerebral hemispheres. Le Conte,without attenpting to give a de-tailed explanation, simply ex-prest the opinion that 'Peopleare right-handed because theyare left-brained.' Humphry.hint-ed at the beginnings of a newtheory in referring to the cor-respondence between hand andeye. Others worked out the ideainto a theory of ocular domi-nance, and to this Mr. Parson ap-pears to lean. He suggests thatearliest man, like the highestapes, sighted laterally, with eith-er eye as needed, and, like thesimians, was ambidexterous; thatthe fixt unilateral sighting fac-ulty, accompanied by handedness,developed with the manufactureand intelligent use of weapons,and that in the beginning it waswithout any marked general biasfor either the right or left side.The biological ascendency ofright-eyedness and right-handed-ness, he thinks, came about sub-sequently through natural selec-tion as a result of one or morenow obscure causes, the morelikely being the advantage thatwould accrue to the warrior who,as he faced his opponent, carriedhis spear or club in his righthand, and later a shield in hisleft. He thinks, too, that sunworship probably had much todo with fixing manual dexteral-ity.

"The theory of unilateral sight-inrr as the case of handedness is.

he says, susceptible of proof bya simple test. The eye that fixesa given object (under conditionsthat enable the observer to de-termine which eye is fixing) willgive the 'eyedness and handed-ness' of the person under exam-ination. He has devised an in-strument for this purpose. Butthe test can be made without ap-paratus as follows. Double upone fist with the index fingerpointing freely. Lift the fistabove the head and imagine itto be a pistol. With both eyesopen, fling the pistol forward atarm's length as though to fire in-stantaneously at some distant ob-ject. Now rapidly shut first oneeye and then the other, and notewhich eye is in line with bothforefinger and object simultan-eously. If it be the right eye,the. subject is right-eyed andright-handed, if it be the left,the subject is left-eyed and left-handed.

"But, alas for the theory, thereare many persons who are 'left-eyed-that is, in the majority ofthe tests the left eye is the fix-ing eye-yet they are withoutdoubt pure right-handed withouta trace of left-handedness intheir childhood or in their fam-nily records. There can be scarce-ly an ophthalmic surgeon whohas not seen patients who com-plain that they are bad shots, andin whom there is found left.eyedness. They are right-handedand can only shoot from the rightshoulder, whereas, for no discov-erable reason, when both eyesare open in taking aim the lefteye makes the choice. Thesecases are sheer puzzles for whichno explanation can be found; cer-tainly none of the conditions sug-:gested by Mr. Parson meets thisflaw in his argument." LiteraryDigest.

PUBLISHED SEMI-MONTHL BY BTHE DES MOINES STILL COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY

VOL. 3 FEBRUARY 1st, 1926 NUMBER 14

Purple and WhiteDown Ellsworth

The Purple and White quintetinvaded the Ellsworth camp andcame out with the long end ofan 18 to 16 score.

Both aggregations were evenlymatched and the battle was hardfought, the score switching backand forth through the entiregame. Both teams played a list-less brand of basketball andneither displayed the form theyare really capable of puttingout.

Max Friend was the local starof the engagement.

D. M. S. C. 0. will play a re-turn game with Ellsworth atDes Moines in February and itis expectedt hat both teams willput out a higher class of "hard-wood pool" than was displayedin the first contest.

The coming month is indeed abusy one for the Purple andWhite basket toosers. The last ofJanuary will bring two hardgames with the crack SouthernSurety five on the 28th and DanaCollege on the 30th.

In February, the locals startwith Buena Vista on the fifth. Ifthe Buena Vista basketball teamsare as strong as the footballsquads that come from the laketown, the Bonesetters had betterlook to their luarels. Lincoln'sbirthday, the 12th, will be ob-served with the return engage-ment of our recent opponents,Ellsworth. The leaving on the16th, the squad will make an ex-tended tour of the northern andsouthern parts of the state andplay some games in Missouri. Onthe 17h, they will play Grace-land, the 18th, Jackson Univer-sity, the 19th, Kirksville, and the20th they will do battle with theIowa University of Business. Re-turning home and resting for afew days, the Still arena houndswill meet the Grandview A. C. onthe 26th of the month.

The above is one of the strong-est schedules ever entered uponby the college athletic depart-ment for one month. If thisbrand of basketball continues asthe rule, the college will soonrank among the top-notchers inthe state.

One game has been listed forMarch, so far. On the second theOsteo camp will be invaded bythe Graceland aggregation for areturn game.

Mrs. Katherine M. Robinson en-tertained at dinner Tuesdayevening at her home in "TheElms," complimenting Mr, Lon-nie L. Facto and his fiancee, MissBess Johnson. The evening wasspent in cards and dancing. Thehostess was assisted by MissRosemary Kurtz.

Ten SeniorsReceive Diplomas

Ten senior students completedtheir four year grind and re-ceived the coveted sheep-skin atthe annual Mid-Year Commence-ment of the college held onThursday evening, January 21st.

The college auditorium wastastefully decorated with palmsand greenery and the walls werehidden with green screens. Arag nd an ew table adorned theplatform and the result had astartling effect on the under-grads who attended the cere-mony. There was some doubt intheir minds as to whether theywere in the right place or not.

Following the March, played byMiss Mildred Trimble, a tenorsolo was sung by Thomas Mann.Dr. Robert Bachmann gave theinvocation which was followed bya violin solo by Miss Helen Moore.

Dr. Chas. S. Medbury gave oneof the finest and most inspiringcolcencement addresses that hasever been delivered to a D. M.S. C. 0. graduating class. Oneof the outstanding points whichthe doctor endeavored to impressupon the minds of the graduateswas the fact that they must at-tain a higher standing that theaverage Medical practitioner be-cause they are more openly crit-icized because of being Osteo-paths.

Earl Shaw played a saxophonesolo following Dr. Medbury's ad-dress and then the Dean of thecollege presented the class andthe President, Dr. S. L. Taylorconferred the degrees. Dr. Bach-mann gave the benediction andMiss Trimble played tohe exitmarch. Following the exercisesthe reception was held in theladies waiting room.

The students receiving theirdiplomas were: Edward L. Mc-Innis, Mar vin E. Green, LeotaM. Grosjean, Floyd O. Harrold,James Opie Humbert, Frank R.Spencer, Gerhard J. Howland,Olaf H. Olsen, Frank B. Heibeland W. Everett Montgomery.

The annual banquet in honorof the graduating seniors, wasgiven by the members of the-Faculty and their wives at Youn--kers Tea Room on Wednesdayevening, Jan. 20th. The excel-lent food had no apparent ill ef-fect on the diners as there wereno absences the next evening atcommencement.

.Osteopathy Without Limitation

Alumni

At this time of the year it ispossible for the practicing alum-ni of D. M. S. C. 0. and all theother Osteopathic colleges, torender a service td their alma-mater, and to the public as well,that is of unequalled value.

In practically every section ofthe country, at this time of theyear, the high schools are grad-uating their mid-year classes ofyoung boys and girls of the col-lege age, the men and womenof tomorrow.

A majority of these graduatesare contemplating higher educa-t!ion. Some have already selectedtheir vocation or profession, butthe greater portion have not.They know the various profes-sions as being in existence, butare not acquainted with the pos-sibilities that are before them.

The Local Osteopath can dothese children and at the sametime his profession, a great serv-ice, by explaining to these youngmen and women the benefits tobe derived from Osteopathy as aprofession. Explain to them thehigh ranking of the profession,its ideals, aims and teachings.The broad field that is open tothe qualified and equipped Osteo-path. The progress the profes-sion has made during the pasttwenty-five or fifty years.

Tell them tne true tacts in thecase and aid them in the selec-tion of their life's work. You willnot get every graduate you talkwith to enter an Osteopathic col-lege, but if you do succeed insecuring one student from theentire group you will have ac-complished your purpose for ifthat individual matriculates andis inspired as the students ofthis college are, he will returnto your town and spread moreOsteopathy in five minutes thatyou personally could in a day forhis is a stronger and closer con-tact with the younger generation.

Make your attempt, Alumni!Bring the Osteopathic Professionbefore the high school graduatesin your locality as a possiblelife's work for them and if youare fortunate in securing onenew student, consider your taskwell done, for in reality you haveIndirectly influenced five or six.

"Isn't this rather unusual?" weasked a friend we met in a candystore buying an expensive box ofchocolates. "Just playing safe,"he replied.. "My wife kissed methis morning, so I think it mustbe her birthday or wedding anni-versary."

It's better to be an originaljack-ass than an imitation lion.

A. 0. A. President Here

The college and student bodywere recently honored by a visitfrom Dr. Asa Willard, of Mon-tana who is the President of theAmerican Osteopathic Associa-tion.

Dr. Willard spoke in chapel onthe regular program in true"Asa" fashion and gave the stud-ent body some excellent food forthought. Throughout his ad-dress, the Doctor leavened thelesson with several interestingand humerous incidents of hisprivate practice. Also a few ofhis choice stories were uncorckedfor the benefit of the embryoOsteo's guidance. Special stresswas laid, upon the absolute ne-cessity for strong organizationand concentration and unifica-tion of purpose if the Osteopath-ic Profession hopes to continue inprogress and development towardits true position in the realm ofscience.

In the afternoon, Dr. Willardattended the general clinic andmade a complete survey and in-spection of the college.

D. M. iS. C. 0. was indeed hon-ored with this brief visit fromthe President of our national as-sociation and sincerely hopesthat it will be possible for Dr.Willard to return in a shorttime and be with us for a longertime. The student body gained anadded impetus towards their ul-timate goal-the OsteopathicProfession.

Come again Dr. Asa, you'remore than welcome.


Dr. J. W. Kibler of CliftonForge, Va., writes that he wantsto sell his practice and equip-ment in the town of CliftonForge and Covington, as he isdesirous of moving to his "hometown" near Richmond.

The doctor has been in thislocation for the past fourteenyears and is the only Osteopathwithin a radius of fifty-fourmiles. The two towns are abouttwelve and one-half miles aparton the main line of the C. D. O.*railway and each has a populationof about eighty-five hundred.

Any field men or new graduateswho are interested in this loca-tion, may secure further infor-mation by writing Dr. Kiblerdirect.

Dr. H. M. Davis, 920 NicolletAve., Minneapolis, Minn., afterfourteen years of active practice,has notified the College that hispractice in that city is for sale.Reason for selling-Postgraduate.Anyone interested, may commu-nicate with the doctor direct, orwith the college.

This would prove an excellentopportunity for a graduatingSenior to locate in Minneapolis,Minn.

There may be "nothing butwind" in politeness, as somerudely declare, but wind in pneu-matic tires eases the jolts alonglife's highways wonderfully.

Juniors Frolic at AnnualParty

The members of the Juniorclass were entertained by Dr.and Mrs. Spring, at their home,Friday evening, January 22nd, asa fitting climax for the threesemesters work the class had justcompleted under the doctor.

For some years, it has been thecustom of Dr. Spring and hiswife, to wind up his particularconnection with the training ofeach class with a party. Thisyears event has without equal inthe past. Approximately fifty ofthe class, some encumbered withwives, spent one of the mostpleasant evenings since theircoming to D. M. S. C. O. Thetime was taken up with games,and various stunts and differentmodes of fortune telling, whichkept the gang in a constant up-roar. There wasn't a dead min-ute in the entire evening, onehardly had time to draw hisbreath.

L a t e r, refreshments wereserved that brought back visionsof home and mother to manyof the boys in particular andmore than likely to a loot of thegirls. Dr. Spring pulled one onthe bunch immediately followingthe lunch tht will be rememberedfor some time.

The under-classes can indeedlook forward with great antici-pation to the time when theyhave completed their course un-der the doctor and are includedin the lucky crowd that attends"Spring's Party."

The Junior Class wishds tothank the doctor and his wifefor one of the most enjoyableevenings in their experience.

Luncher (to a man who ismaking off with his overcoat):I beg your pardon, sir, but incase we don't meet again, may Ihave a couple cigars out of thepocket?"

Hoewver, theold boy will be back in time fornext issue and the caustic qualityof his terse remarks should be ofdouble potency after this briefvacation.

Attention! Class of 1925

The college received a letterthe other day from Dr. "Arnie"Schneider, '25, who has locatedat Winona, Minnesota, in whichhe states that he is hungry for"dope" on the other members ofhis class. Where are they, whatare they. doing, and how are theygetting along.

Much to our chagrin, we wereunable to give Arnie the infor-mation he desired as a great ma-jority of this class have failedto write in and let the collegeknow where they located.

The Junior and Freshman aretied for second and third places 4.with 73 per cent to their credit.The Sophomores are last withonly a 60 per cent subscription.

The staff and especially thebusiness management department "are exceptionally well pleasedwith the support that the stud-ent body 'is giving the book andare confident that the comingmonth will raise the percentage jeven higher. Why not make ita one hundred per cent affair?It could be done.

The Sophomores are at present ,the low class, but it is believedthat by the next issue their av-erage will be on a par with theother classes. Their activity inthe past and the support theyhave given other college featuressponsors the prediction that theywill come out in the foreground.

Senior Assembly :(Continued from Page 3) 4

Rash hit the high spots on his :tour of Europe, on which, to :use his own words, "he had the a:least money, but saw the most." i:He also told of his negotiations jwith his "rich banker uncle" for Xthe trip and stated that he ex- .plained his apparent audacity to 'his family with the biblical quo- 4.tation "Ask, and Ye Shall Re- 'ceive."

Many interesting points werebrought out concerning pre-warEgypt, France and Belgium. In ,Italy, he was extremely fortu- 4nate, he said, to see the royalty 'delayed by -an ox-cart. ,

Rev. Rash palid a high tribute 4.to the intellectuality of the an-cients and stated their degree of ,t,progress was far superior to our 4present day in many lines and ,!cited instances in support of his ,,statement. He ended his dis-4.course by a tribute to the gradu-ating class and congratulated J»them upon finishing their pre- y:liminary training and their en- ;?tering their real educational ac- Ativity.

Following the speaker, a few spopular jazz numbers were played .by the Zoe Palmer orchestra 4which is playing an engagement iat the Kirkwood hotel.

Osteopathic TheoryESolidly Founded NECI AND NECK,

"The foundation of Osteo-pathy as a future science de-pends upon the product that isturned out by the various col-leges," said Dr. R. B.

The Doctor likened the variousOsteopathic colleges to largemanuafcturing plants, suppliedby raw material by the alumniand Field Men, turning out asfinished products, Doctors of Os-teopathy, upon whose shouldersrests the foundation of the fu-ture of the science. The bruntof the work in turning out"class A" or one hundred percent Osteopaths, does not restentirely upon the college admin-istrations, but upon the individ-ual student and the intensity ofhis interest in "getting thework" while in school.

In emphasizing his abovepoints Dr. Gilmour stated thatthere was "nothing in the pres-ent Medical Theory that ap-proached the solidity of thefoundation of the OsteopathicTheory," and then went intosome detail to bring his pointhome to the students.

Photo of D. M[. S. C. 0.Founder Hung in Chapel

A large size framed photo ofDr. S. S. Still, the founder ofthe Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy was presented to thecollege by the members of theMlid-Year graduating class ofJanuary, 1926.

The picture of Dr. Still is anexcellent likeness and the earnest,smiling face, brings to the stud-ent, attending lectures in thisroom, an added inspiration to de-velope in his chosen profession--Osteopathy.

Our little gallery in the as-sembly room is gradually grow-ing. At present we have repre-sented in our "Hall of Fame," thefounder of the science, Dr. An-drew Taylor Still; the founderof the college, Dr. S. S. Still; thePresident of the college, Dr. S.L. Taylor; .and the Dean of theCollege, Dr. C. W. Johnson.

The student body are intenselyproud of this mural decorationthat has softened the drabness ofplain walls. It is our hope andambition to in time have a rowof "celebrities" that will extendacross the entire wall at the backof the platform.

The "Gang" wishes to extendtheir appreciation to the new"Doctors" for this gift which isso appropriate and timely.

It occurs to us that there aremore goat-getters than go-get-ters.

Faculty and StudentsWelcome New Corers

The regular -weekly assemblyof January 29th was devoted toextending a welcome to the newstudents.

The Dean, Dr. C. W. Johnsonwas in charge of the program,and immediately following thesong-fest, called the members ofthe faculty, who were present, tothe platform.

The new students were given ahearty welcome to our midst bythe Dean and complimented uponhaving chosen Osteopathy astheir Profession and D. M. S. C.0. as their college.

Dr. C. F. Spring was the firstof the faculty members to ad-dress the new students. Thedoctor recalled the type of stud-ent at the college back eighteenor twenty years ago when hefirst became connected with theinstitution and remarked grad-ual but pronounced impiovementin the general qualifications andpersonalities of the student bodyas the years went by until thepresent time, when the studentbody of D. MS. C. 0. is on a parwith any educational institutionin the country.

For once in the history of thecollege, at least, Dr. E. E. Stef-fen was caught without a speechin his system, according to hisown words. In his lectures inPhysiology and Pathology we donot recall his mentioning anyconditions wherein speeches wereknown to lodge in peoples sys-tems, but possibly that was theday we were asleep. Dr. Steffenspoke of the constant improve-ment that is being made in thecourse of instruction in the Os-teopathic colleges and alsobrought out the point that whatthe Osteopathic graduate got outof his four years work, came asa result of his own personal ac-tivity with out the urge and pushthat is present in the Medical:college in the form of grade re-quirements to continue in thecourse.

Dr.. Virge Halladay also men-tioned the improvements thathave been made during the past-twenty years and the strongestpoint the Doctor emphasized washis personal classification of thestudents. Dr. Halladay dividesthe student body into two dis-tinct types-those who came, andthose who were sent. His con-cept is that the group "whocame" are the real students, themen and women that go into thefield thoroughly equipped, phys-ically and mentally, to cope withthe problems that confront them:and the second group, "those whowere sent" are those individuals

Materia Medica on theOsteopathic Curriculum

There has been considerabletalk and propaganda relative tothe teaching of Materia MedicaIn the Osteopathic colleges, dur-ing the past few years, and hasdeveloped into a subject of majorimportance.

The opposition to the sugges-tion hold that the teaching ofthis prime medical subject inour colleges would be the sameas admitting that our therapywas not adequate, that we wouldbe accused of backsliding andusing the "other fellow's thun-der," that instead of turning loutthoroughly grounded osteopaths,the colleges would graduate half-baked M. D.'s with a be-fuddledconcept of both medicine andosteopathy.

While at the same time, theadvocates of the subject, claimthat a course in Materia Medicashould be included in the Osteo-pathic curriculli so that the os-teopathic physician would be ful-ly trained mentally to cope with'the conditions produced by thevarious drugs used by our medi-cal brethren. The tr.aining wouldbe concentrated upon the actionof the drug employed upon thesystem of the patient so thatwhen the M. D. was dismissedfrom the case, and the local Os-teo called in, he would be ableto cope with the conditions pres-ent as a result of the drugs tak-en and could direct his treat-ment towards overcoming the ef-fect produced by the drugs.

The question is indeed a largeone and it is not for us to de-cide at this time. However, inview of the progress Osteopathyis making, day after day, monthafter month and year after year,it behooves us as students tostudy over the problem for inthe future the decision will bein our hands and we will want todecide the question to the ad-vantage of the future of thescience of Osteopathy and not tothe dictation of personal whims.

Chile Wants OsteopathsThe following letter was re-

ceived by the Dean from Mr. JohnDixon of Valpariso, Chili.

Now, one can secure Osteo-pathic service in practically anycorner of the globe, and thegradual trend is towards evenbroader expansion. From theletter, Valparaiso should make adesirable location for some mid-year graduate who felt the urgeof the "wanderlust."

Mr. Dixon's letter follows:"The Dean:

I have had occasion to inquirefrom the American Consulatehere regarding the opporunitiesthere are for an Osteopath. Atpresent there is not one in Chileand I feel sure that there is avery good opening for a youngman just through with his course.My wife has been accustomed forsome time past to have treat--ment in England, and Dr. Robert-

Apart from my wife, Iknow of several other ladies whowould gladly avail themselves ofOsteopathic treatment if it wereavailable.

After Dr. Virge had completedhis talk, the time was about up,so the Dean reminded the Fresh-man that it was a custom of thecollege for them to appear in as-sembly and render the collegesong and introduce themselves.

The following Friday morning,chapel was opened by a set ofviolin solos by Harold Sifling ofthe Junior class, accompanied atthe piano by Ross Richardson.The Frosh were then called tothe platform by the Dean andturned over to the tender mer-cies of Tom Mann who drilledthem in the intricacies of theCollege song. After about fiveminutes practice, they were ableto give an exceptionally goodrendition of this favorite andthen the entire student body

made the walls ring with the"We're Osteopaths."

Angus Entertains inAssembly

One of the most interestingprograms to be put on this yearin assembly was given by "An-gus", most ably assisted by AbGraham and Walt Damm, onFriday, February 12th.

In order to lessen the markeddegree of contrast and to de-crease Angus' possible stagefright, Ab and Walt used, freely,burnt cork and adorned' them-selves in the last word in Jani-torial uniforms.

The program was of a musicalnature with "Ang" officiating onhis famous "Haywaiian" guitar,Walt on the mandolin and Abacting as chief announcer. Sev-eral pleasing instrumental num-bers were rendered by this ac-complished duo, but the real'piece de resistance" were thevocal numbers.

On this part of the program,Angus sang the title parts withAb bringing in the drug storetenor and Walt sang also, whenable. "Massa's in the Cold, Cold,Grcund.' "Marv, Don' You Weep,Don't You Mioan" and "CaseyJones" were the selections ren-dered and were put over in sucha manner that the only reasonthe student body permittedthem to quit was because theyran out of songs.

The antics of the Trio keptthe students in a constant up-roar and even several of the dig-nified faculty were seen to dis-cretely give vent to their mirth.It was, without doubt, the bestprogram of the year.

As a token of appreciation the"Gang" saw to it that Angus wasable to purchase a new, shiny"Haywaiian" guitar and now ifyou slip quietly down the hall inthe basement, towards the fur-nace, during the noon hour, youwill hear the tinkling, slidingtones of "Mary Doan' Yo' Weep,Doan' Yo' Moan."

The week following the ap-pearance of the Trio, Dr. VirgeHalladay gave an interestinglecture on the early history ofOsteopathy. The chief subjectof his discourse was the methodemployed in the old days in thesecuring of dissection material.

The College Honors NewStudents

The mid-year Freshmen andthe new upper class studentswere the guests of honor at theannual freshman reception givenat the college on Friday evening,February 19th.

The auditorium was tastefullydecorated with the college colorsand the floor was waxed to the'nth degree. The Melrose orches-tr.a furnished the incentive forthe dancing, which was the fea-ture of the evening.

Several of the dignified seniorsand an occasional freshman wereseen to display the intricate gy-rations of the "Charlestown" butno casualties were reported. Anexcellent attendance was enjoyedand everyone seemed to have a'regular time."

The following members of thefaculty were among those pres-ent: Dr. C. W. Johnson, Dr. andMrs. H. V. Halladay, Dr. and Mrs.John Woods, Dr. and Mrs. GeorgeHurt, and Dr. A. B. Taylor.

Basket Ball OuintetDowns All Comers

The Purple and White have hita winning stride that none of ouropponents have been able to stop,or even break.

From the beginning of the sea-son, the basket tossers have beenplaying class A basket ball andfrom all appearances, will con-tinue through the balance of theseason. The team is a unit, withno outstanding individual stars.and that fact is probably thereason for the success the teamis enjoying.

The team has eight wins to itscredit and two games were lost,incidently the first two games ofthe season, with Central Collegeand St. Ambrose. However, onthe return game with St. Am-brose the Bone-setters came outwith the long end of the 31-21score.

During the past month theteam has played six games andhave chalked up six wins. On thesecond they defeated JacksonUniversity 49 to 16; on the fifth,Buena Vista fell to the tune of33 to 21; Ellsworth College nextwent down to defeat on the shortend of a 56 to 15 tally; on the12th; the next victim was Grace-land College, who lost out to thetune of 41 to 22 on the 15th; thenext night the Purple and Whitestaged a come-back and defeatedSt. Ambrose 31 to 21; and thencelebrated Washington's birth-day by scoring a win over Grand-view College, 26 to 16.

The college can indeed be veryproud of the record establishedby the team, and if Lady Lucksticks with them, this will beone of the most successful sea-sons in the history of the college.

Teaching OsteopathySince 1892 a varying number

of men and women have been en-gaged in teaching Osteopathy,,and almost without exception.each has contributed largely toathe success of those in the field.All have undoubtedly been sin-cere, but sincerity is inadequate.There must also be efficiency.

To date, as far as we can ascer-tain, this matter of efficiency is.determined more by the work of:the students in passing stateboards than in the direction ofthe work of that teacher by hisor her immediate superiors.

These facts are being broughtto the attention of the profes-sion by one of my old teachers,Dr. John Deason of Chicago, andso far, I am with him in all thathe has written. There is no onemore anxious than myself thatOsteopathy shall be taught cor-

As Their Wives Know:. :Them

No, kind reader, the above isnot a likeness of Wesley Barry,the movie star, but a photogra-phic fac-simile of one of yourreverred professors -Dr J. P.Schwartz.

I was somewhat non-plusedwhoAn nitnnrafhel er av f-.h dit.rlotin regard to writing an articlefor this series that has beenrunning in the Log Book, as Imust confess that I have notbeen able to "get the low down"on the Doctor in the short timethat we have been embroiled inthe Holy Bonds of Matrimony,as have some of the other facultywives who have been at this"wife business" for a number ofyears.

It has been difficult for me toreally understand just how myhusband was lured into the studyof Osteopathy when he had sucha lucrative position ;in the HomeTown, back in New York, a pos-ition that also gratified the egoas well as the purse. While J. P.was a student in High School, heused to put in his spare momentsin one of the larger clothingstores of the town that spec;ial-ized in Fashion Park clothes for-men. When the new styles wouldcome in, the manager woulddress your learned instructor upin one and send him out amonghis fellow townsmen as a livingadvertisement, the proverbiallast word in masculine correct-ness. As a result, the youthfulswains would see and admire the-ultra modern outfit sported byyoung Johnny Schwartz and then-would lose no time in purchasinglike rainment. No doubt, it wasat this time that the Doctorformed his penchant for proper:and correct dress, and also de-y-eloped his abhorance for untidi-ness and carelessness about his-person.

There are no "Dr. Jekyl andMr. Hyde" qualities connectedwith "J. P." that I have beenable to discover. He is moderate-ly uniform in his habits, likesand dislikes; thoroughly inter-ested in his profession, in athlet-ic sports, out-door pastimes andtouring. In the latter respect, heis especially interested in travel-ing the shortest distance be-

tweent two points in the leastarnount :of time, as some of youno:-: doubt know. And in connec-tion with his automobiling pro-clivities, I really doubt if he isaware of the fact that the caris equipped with an accuratelyfunctioning gasoline gauge, as heis frequently running out of thatall-too-necessary motor stimu-lant and is forced to walk vary-ing distances as a result of hisforgetfullness.

Unlike most men, he is a verycapable and efficient person tohave in the kitchen, and asbeen known to prepare some verytempting repasts. Likewise, heis especially adept with the paintbrush, as his car and variouspieces of our furniture will bearmute evidence.

Osteopathy DiffersFrom Massage Cure

Doctor Explains Contrast ofTreatment

"To all the discussion of whatOsteopathy is," Dr. H. C. Wallacetold an interviewer recently,"perhaps it would be wise to adda word as to what this school of.practice is not.

"For example, it is not mas-sage. Some persons have con-fused Osteopathy with the Swed-ish movement treatment andsimilar forms, but this is whollyerroneous. M1ssage, we admit,is a valuable form of treatmentand is so recognized and used. byOsteopaths in cases where it isindicated. As a means of im-proving circulation mechanicallyit is admirable. In principle,however, it is in no way relatedto Osteopathy. Massage is sim-ply a form of mechanical stimu-lation, while Osteopathy dealswith the adjustment of structu-ral abnormalities.

"Take, for example, a case ofimpeded circulation in a finger,due to a rubber band beingwrapped tightly around the mem-ber. Kneading of the fingerwould mechanically stimulatecirculation in the finger andtemporarily improve the condi-tion, but only removal of therubber band would effect a cureof the condition.. In such a com-parison, massage represents themechanical stimulation of circu-lation, while the prompt dealingwith the cause is comparable toOsteopathy.

"There are, too, some peoplewho confuse Osteopathy withvarious mental methods, such assuggestion or Christian Science.However, anyone who is suffic-iently interested to read of itsfundamental principals will veryreadily see that Osteopathy is,above all, a physical method oftreatment. The fact that it isas effective when applied to in-fants or to people of derangedmentality, as to adults of normalmind, bears out this fact. Thisschool of treatment in no waydepend.s upon suggestion for theresults it attains."

THE LOG BOOK

OSTEOPATHY INTHE TREATMENT

OF ACCIDENTS

Better Than the Use of MedicineIts Advocates Maintain

Osteopathy should be the firstthought in connection with theexamination and treatment ofaccidental injuries, instead ofthe last. Osteopaths by educa-tion and training, are peculiarlyqualified to handle this difficultand very necessary branch ofpractice. No school of healingexcels them in physical exami-nation. In fact they are so farin advance of the older schoolsindetecting deviations from thenormal in the human anatomyand in forseeing the bad effectsarising therefrom, as the airshipis over the old family carry-allwhen distances are to be nego-tiated. And yet the average lay-man, as a rule, believes that menwith the M. D. degree are theonly ones qualified to handle ac-cidents. Medical men very frank-ly confess to a like belief. In factthey argued before the Congress-ion.al committee that Osteopathsbecause they did not use drugsfor their curative results, werenot competent to render effic-ient service in the medical corpsof the army. Osteopaths were,prejudically denied the right toserve on that ground. One lesrn-ed man of the committee askedan Osteopath appearing beforethem, just what beneficial resulthe could expect from his manip-ulations on a man with a limbshattered by a shell. "Equal re-sults at least to that which themedical man would expect fromthe administration of pills," wasthe instant reply.

Let us see briefly what are thefacts in the case. Educationally,Osteopaths have every advantagewhich the medical man claims.He is taught everything that isincluded in the medical courseof study. In the importantbranches of anatomy and physi-oly, Osteopaths put in over threehundred hours more than is re-quired by the medical course.

Applied anatomy and, physiol-ogy are keystones in the Osteo-pathic practice. Therefore, Os-teopaths are of necessity morecompetent and skillful in thesesubjects than their medicalbrothers.

Osteopaths study the same sur-gical works; are familiar withthe same surgical technique andhave the same clinical advan-tages that the medical menhave. Surgical work is purelymechanical. Anyone of averageintelligence can master themethod. There is nothing mys-terious or hidden about it. Medi-cines are not considered at allfrom the standpoint of their cur-ative properties.. Anaesthetics,antiseptics, opiates and cathar-tics are used. In all of theseOsteopaths have equal trainingto that given medical men.

With these facts in mind, whycannot Osteopaths qualify as sur-geons? They can and do so mostsuccessfully. There is absolutelyno reason why the stitch put in

Purple and White AddAnother Victory

Another victory was added tothe already long string of "wins"when the Purple and White de-feated the strong Gracelandquintet by the score of 43 to 22.The winning of this game makesthe total for the 'season, ninewon, two lost.

Throughout the first half bothteams played -a rather listlessgame and the contest could havebeen won by either side withlittle exertion. However, withthe whistle for the beginning ofthe second stanza, the "Boneset-ters" appeared to have imbibed,a quantity of "El Pep," for fromthat time on, there was no ques-tion as to which was the superiorteam. No angle was too diffi-cult for the Osteopaths, nor wasany shot too long. There seemedto be a omagnetic influeence ex-erted by the iron hoop over thesphere whenever it came withinten feet. At the beginning ofthe period the score was tied, 12and 12, but at the close the lo-cals led by the unquestionablemargin of 43 to 22.

Springer was the high scorerfor the Osteopaths.

Normal Spine Week

The week of March 22 to 27has been designated as NormalSpine Week and the Osteopathicprofession throughout the entir'ecountry are expected to upholdand further this movement.

Last year Normal Spine Weekwas a huge success. In variouslocalities the county and city or-ganizations conducted spinal ex-aminations on the school child-ren and spoke before many. or-ganizations on the different sub-jects in relation to spinal irreg-ularities.

It is the intention to makethis period this year surpass allprevious accomplishments. Withthe earnest co-operation of everymember of the Osteopathic pro-fession, it can be done!

Do the best and the most youcan today.

The only reliable substitutefor brains is silence.

After all is said, there's anawful lot to be done.

Osteopathic Stars OnC A. Rill

A number of the foremost Os-teopaths in this section of thecountry have signified their will-ingness to .appear before thecoming meeting of the CentralStates Osteopathic Association,which is to be held in KansasCity, the 21, 22 .and 23rd of April.

Amongst those who will speak,are: Dr. Bandeen on his diabeticresearch work. Dr. Geo. Laugh-lin on the subject of Goitre; Dr.Rolla Hook on Osteopathic Ob-stetrics; Dr. J. D. Edwards onEar, Nose and Throat; Dr. A. G.Hildreth, Dr. Jos. Swart, Dr. A.E. Allen and many others.

The meeting is to be conductedupon the "sectional" basis. Defi-nite periods are to be devoted toindividual subjects, such as Tech-nique, Obstetrics, Surgery, etc.The plan is similar to that em-ployed by the American Osteo-pathic Association, and enablesthe physician to attend the por-tion of the program !which holdsthe greatest amount of interestto him.

Spring FootballScheduled

According to an announcementmade by Coach Frank R. Sutton,the D.M.S.C.O. gridiron aspirantsfor the 1.926 varsity will indulgein some Spring training.

As soon as the weather permits,the squad, will begin the rudi-mentary training which it isalmost impossible to secure in theFall before the openiliig-g games---By following this plan, the Coachwill have a squad of seasoned andtrained men to start the seasonwith, rather than a green outfit.

Individual coaching, an itemthat D. M. S. C. 0. has been lack-ing in, will be one of the out-standing features of the newprogram. Special attention willbe given the development of linemen.

D.M.S.C.O. has had no oppor-tunity to complain of the foot-ball team in the past, and withadditional training they will re-ceiv;e under the plan, such a pos-sibility w ill be even more re-mote. Next Fall when the timecomes for the opening game, thePurple and White will be an ef-ficient, well - trained machine,rather than a group of individ-uals who barely know the signalsas in the past.

How to Cure That Cold

(If you follow the Advice ofYour Sympathetic Friends)

-Do not let the cold interefere-with your wolrk but stay homefrom college, taking lots of ex-ercise in the open .air, whileresting quietly in bed.

Do not take any medicine,alternating it with large dosesof quinine, aspirin and throattablets.

Gargling is effective if oneavoids wetting the tonsils.

Eat heartily and abstain fromall food until the cold is undercontrol.

Do not consult a physicianbut get the best medical atten-tion as soon as possible.

Philosophy

The way I look at this thingcalled life

Is a kind of a simple way.It seems to me that a lot of

strifeAnd worrying doesn't pay.

So I dub along on a casual planWhich never has failed me yet,

Of doing my work as well asI can,

Playing and loving -as muchas I can,

And, acting the .part of a regularman-

And otherwise I should fret!

I never have set a river on fire,I doubt if I ever will;

And there isn't a chance thatMy heart's desire I everShall quite fulfill;

But I live in peace with thehuman clan,

Unvexed by the mad world'sHurry,

And do my work as well as I can,Play, love and laugh, as much

As I can-And try to be a regular man-

And otherwise-I should worry!

If you are ambitious to "makea killing" in this world, neverstart the slaughter with time.

A career that isn't founded oncharacter as solid as a rock, islikely to land on the rocks.

The man who is a great man inthe eyes of his neighbors, is avery great man indeed.

Around Our MerryCampus

The other day upper ei.aeasmenwere overheard, discussing a re-cent "0. B." case in thre halls,between classes.

The current epidemic of "!EadColds" is evidently no respectorof .persons. A number of thestudents have fallen victims to,the current attack and at pres-ent the impregnable Faculty is"being worked upon." Drs.

And, further, on the subject ofcolds, the dollar fee for studenttreatments came in very approp-priate, from the Treasurer'sview ;point.

THE LOG BOOK

.S. L. Taylor-Don Baylor


Be Not Rash With ThyMouth

The Biblical injunction, "BeNot Rash With Thy Mouth," isa phase worthy of serious andthoughtful consideration by allmen. The fault finder and quib-bler is ever among us; he cancriticize and in so .doing destroythe earnest and sincere effortsof his fellows and the work ofmen who have given freely oftheir time to build up that whichwill redound to the credit of all.

Most any man can assail andvillify from the side-lines, butit takes courage to do and dare.If the time and effort given tounjust criticism .was directed in-to earnest and conscientious ser-vice, all men would be the betterand the world would be richerin the things desired, ratherthan the things hoped for.

Was it not Solomon who said:"Even a fool is counted wisewhen he holdeth his peace"? Inan age where talk is empty anddevoid of serious thought, mancan find it to his advantage toadopt a policy of graceful silenceand be the better thereby.

The thinker today, as in Sol-omon',s time, is not given towords, but rather deeds. Life tohim consists more in ;purposeand performance, rather than inprattle and pretense. We buildon the former and become betterbuilders as we learn that the manwho thinks becomes bigger andbetter mentally, while he whoonly talks has little to offer butwords.

Men grow better and wiserwhere there is a free exchangeof opinion. The evil lies in loosetalk, and the attendant discus-sion of individual shortcomingsand the weaknesses of present-day institutions. Talking with-out thinking has become a com-mon practice, and unjust criti-cism a fetish with many.

The just and upright manshould ever have a guarded ton-gue. He should realize that inhis daily talk, good begets good,even as evil begets evil; that ariotous tongue has no justifica-tion and eventually the reactionwill be as Job ;pointed out whenhe said: "My Own Mouth ShallCondemn Me."

The Snap-Switch inOur Head

Strange how many go throughthe world spending hours of theirtime on self-improvemTent -neg-lecting to develop that most im-portant faculty of all the powerof the human will to drive a man

forward when every thought,feeling and instinct of his naturecries out-to give up.

Peculiar how few men haveobserved thatit's the averagemind driven toward a set goalthat succeeds, -and not the bril-liant flash-in-the-pan, who altershis course with. every variationin the wind.

You hate to get up in themorning. You lie there as if youwere paralyzed. You think youought, to get up. You decide toget up. You are provoked, halfangry with yourself for lyingthere. You picture to yourselfthe discomfort of hurrying tomake the 8:30 appointment. Yourintellect, judgement, emotions,feelings, imagination, functionone hundred per cent to get youup-but still you lie there andsnooze. Suddenly your mindseems to snalp on a switch, fillingthe body with energy, and youbound o,ut of bed!

Ah, you have put your fingerright down on the elusive attri-bute of the mind called WillPower! It's the snap-switchwhich starts and keeps us going.

In most of the things we do,the switch is turned on auto-matically. We apparently donot will to see, to taste, to hear,to smell, walk, eat, laugh, anddo the thousands of little thingsof the day.

But in big achievement theswitch turns hard and we haveto hold it on with all the stuffwe have in us.

WORK(By the lae Cardinal Gibbons)

"Without work no amount oftalent, no amount of influence,will carry a man very far in thisworld. I am amazed at the pointof view of some modern youngmen. They look at the success-ful men of the' day .as if theysuippo.sed success to be an easymatter-giving rich gifts and re-quiring little in return. I won-der what they would think ifthey could see the average day'sprogram of one of the men theyenvy. Theodore Roosevelt left acorresponcdence--that--of- itself---involved more work than the ,aver-age man does in his active life.Yet it represented only a smallpart of his activities.

"The higher men climb, thelonger their working day. Andany young man with a streak ofidleness in him might bettermake up his mind at the begin-ning that mediocrity is to behis lot. Without immense, sus-tained effort She 'will not climbhigh. - And even though fortuneor chance were to lift him highhe would not stay there. For tokeep at the top is harder, almost,than to get there. There are nooffice hours for leaders."

A good example is the bestsermon.

A good loser owns up-pays up-shuts up.

When Jealousy gets busy, Lovetakes a vacation.

Shortage of Doctors


each year offers to provide two-thirds of the cost of construc-tion and equipment of two hos-pitals, to be located in commun-ities meeting certain other con-ditions, which will agree to pro-vide the remainder of the initialexpense and meet the cost ofoperation and maintenance, thewriter goes on to say that astudy of, the pioneer work doneby farming communities in es-tablishing rural hospitals hasrecently been made by the U. S.Department of Agriculture. Asindicating the great need forbetter hospital facilities, atten-tion is drawn to the increasingshortage of country doctors, InKentucky, in 1924, forty countieswere reported to be without .ade-quate medical service, and one ofthese counties had not a singledoctor, In a Montana county of5,000 square miles there wereonly three doctors and no hos-pitals. In Minnesota, 127 villageswere reported 'without doctors.As a step toward remedying suchconditions, 17 states now havelaws authorizing counties to levytaxes for hospital purposes, andmany rural hospitals have beenbuilt.

The little town of Altura, Min-nesota, has found a solution forthe problem of obtaining the ser-vices of. a resident doctor ina small rural community. Thecitizens decided to form a healthassociation for the purpose ofemploying a capable doctor bycontract. Several schemes were-proposed and a doctor was finallysecured under the 'following.plan: The association agrees asa salary guaranty to secure asmany members as possible on thebasis of $24.00 a year for eachfamily, the doctor to have entirefreedom for outside practiceafter meeting the claims of themembers of his service. Thedoctor also operates the drugstore. The $24.,00 fee covers, inaddition to any needed calls incase of sickness, a thoroughhealth examination twice a year,if desired, and sanitary inspec-tion of the home, including in-spection of water supply, drain-age, and garbage and sewage dis-posal. Extra charges are madefor night calls and for obstet-rical cases, the money thus se-cured being used to defray theexpenses of the association.

The Self-Centered Idler

How ungratefully he slinksaway, who diies, and does nothingto reflect a glory to Heaven!How barren a tree he is, wholives, and spreads, and cumbersthe ground, yet leaves not oneseed, not one good work to gen-erate another after him! Allcannot leave alike; yet all mayleave something, answering their.proportions and their kinds.Those are dead and witheredgrains of corn out of which therewill not one ear spring. He willhardly find the way to Heaven,who desires to go there alone.

Baseball Trophy OfferedBy Sigma Sigma Phi

Beta Chapter of Sigma SigmaPhi, donors of the Inter-Frater-nity Relay Cup, have put up forcompetition another handsomesilver loving cup for baseballcompetition. The presentationwas made by Ross Robertson inchapel, Friday, March 26th.

The competition is to be basedupon the same regulations as theRelay Cup, that is, the cup willbe in the possession of the teamwinning the tournament for oneyear and permanent possessionwill result from winning thechampionship for three consect-utive years.. Competing teamswill be organized from the non-fraternity men of the college andfrom the three fraternities rep-resented in the college.

All the teams have been organ-ized and are hard at work prac-tising for the opening game ofthe season. From early observa-tion and what "dope" is availablethey will be fairly evenly match-ed and the competition will bekeen.

AB GRAHAM

At a recent meeting of the "SClub, Captains for the footballand basketball teams for thecoming season were elected.

"Ab" Graham, a veteran ofthree years' standing was unan-imously chosen to pilot the Pur-ple and White on the gridironnext fall. During the three sea-

l1 J4 A 1 w T I -- ___sons that AO nas worn one DOIe-setters colors he has more thanproven his ability as a fearlessand versatile follow- of the pig-skin. He can fill line positionsas efficiently as he can guide theteam from the quarterback pos-ition, and has more than oncedisplayed his ability as a fieldgeneral. The squad and the col-lege are to be congratulated up-on having chosen a man of Ab'scalibre to captain the team.

It is rare that a Junior iselected to captain the varsitybasketball team, but the brilli-ancy of Friend's playing duringthe two season's he has held apermanent birth on the quintet,was more than sufficient to placethe "O.K." upon his election.From the beginning he has dis-played a persistent, heady brandof floorwork that has gone far insecuring the high success ourteams have attained during thepast two season's.

The versatility of our assemblyconductors in the securing oftalent for these most welcomeweekly diversions has been prov-en beyond a reasonable doubtduring the past three weeks.

To start the ball rolling, Dr.Spring secured one of the bestmen that had been brought tothe city for "Religious EmphasisWeek". to 'seak befpre,,the stu-dent body at the assembly heldMarch 12th. Dr. Bingham gavea very interesting address on thesubject of "Modern Day Youth,Its Conditions and Problems,"and brought out the point thatthe present day youth has theadvantage over the past for tworeasons; primarily, the greater(opportunities that are presented-the modern youth for self-ex-pression resultant from the re-lief from the necessity of toiland grind; and, secondarily, theincreased mentality of the mod-ern youth, due to the moderneducatiPnal developments.

In his address, the Doctor in-terspersed several incidents con-cerning his very recent exepri-ence in Russia, which added very

-greatly to the interest of his sub-ject.

The following week Dr. RobertBachman was in charge and hedisplayed his ability to fathomthe student mind and learn whatthey liked, by securing a returnengagement of the Garber Enter-tainers. Several pleasing num-bers, banjo, vocal solo, duets andmixed quartet, and musical read-ings, were given to the intensedelight of the gang. Mr. NealGarber, the youngest of the fam-ily, was about the most enthusi-astically received. having appear-ed on previous occasions andmesmerized the listeners withhis banjo. This is surely one"bunch" that the students don'tget tired of.

Dr. Mary Golden was next onthe schedule, and not to be out-done by her faculty associates,she secured a representativeof the W. R. 1Hoi n C fhat n7 -, :.-A. vat~ T v. i, A.Lksu , ta x@I . . llt lia -

tOsteopathy Without Limitation

Boost-Don't Knock

Don't go through life tear-ing down. Don't go around with.a hammer knocking people, con-ditions, things, everything insight. Instead of knocking -learn to praise. Get a reputa-tion of being a booster, a lifter,a helper, an encourager. Justthink what a difference it willmake to others, and, above all,to yourself, to go through theworld as a booster, instead of aknocker! If you are a booster,people will like you, will alwayshave a good word for you. Butno one has any use for a knocker,the chap who is always hittingsomebody, passing along unfor-tunate gossip, making insinuat-ing remarks about others, beingjealous of others' success; who isalways grumbling about hardluck and unfortunate conditions.He casts a shadow whereever hegoes. The booster makes the sunshine a little brighter. Theknocker draws a cloud over it.

Whatever you try to do in life,try with all your heart to dowell; whatever you devote your-self to, devote yourself complete-ly; in even the smallest as wellas the great undertakings - bethoroughly in earnest.

Never believe it possible thatany natural or improved abilitywill gain in the end, unless as-sociated with the qualities ofsteady, plain, hard work.

Sometimes talent and fortun-ate opportunity form the twosides of the ladder on which menmount, but the rungs of the lad-der must be made of stuff tostand the wear and tear, and forthis there is no substitute forthorough-going, ardent and sin-cere earnestness.

Never put your hand to any-thing into which you cannotthrow yourself body, soul andmind; and having chosen yourprofession to follow, never affectdepreciation of it.

Courtesy can pay larger divi-dends in proportion to the ener-gy expended than any other ofthe human characteristics whichmight be classed as instrumentsof accomrplishment.

The ages of men have small re-lation to their years.

Danger AheadI

r fK r ,

From the Field

Hey! Alumni! Have you allbroken your writing arms? Dur-ing the past month and a half,letters from the alumni havebeen most conspicuous by theirabsence. We want to hear fromyou, and your former classmateswant to know how many backsyou're cracking a day-so dropus a line and give us the dope.

We had a very interesting let-ter from Dr. Don Lewis recently.He reports that all is well andthat the "goose hangs high" inLittle Rock, Arkansas.

Drs. Bob Murphy, Jim Coch-ran and Jake Wedel are alive inFlorida. It is rumored that BobMurphy is making as much prac-tising Osteopathy as some arerumored to be making on Floridareal estate. (Don't misconstruethe meaning).

Dr. -J .O. Humbert of the re-cent January class has success-rully invaded Little Sweden, justnorth of Iowa, and has pitchedhis tent in Minneapolis. He re-ports the Minnesota board as be-ing plenty stiff but that he gotby with flying colors.

Dr. 0. H. Olsen of the sameclass is patiently awaiting thefirst of June, at which time hewill enter upon his internship atthe Detroit Osteopathic Hospital.

Dr. Bunny Bruins of the classof May, '25, has been visitinghere for a few days and looksprosperous.

Did you ever notice that thequietest thing about a busy manis his tongue?

Infectious Diseases

The effect of Osteopathic Treat-ment is even more marvelous infevers and other acute diseasethan in the chronic cases whereits reputation has already beenmade. However, many peoplehave so long believed that drugskill disease germs, that manystill believe that no one is com-petent to handle germ diseasesexcept those doctors who givedrugs.

Osteopathic physicians as wellas other doctors recognize thevalue of disinfectants and germ-icides for external use, but alldoctors are agreed that it is fu-tile to attempt to check germgrowth in the interior of thebody by the internal use of med-icines, for these have a moredirect effect or action on thebody than on the germ they aretrying to destroy. This beingthe case, the Osteopathic physi-cian may claim at least an equalefficacy of treatment with otherhealing methods in the treatmentof such diseases as influenza,;pneumonia, typhoid fever, etc.

In the subjects of Bacteriology,Surgery, Chemistry, Practice,Obstetrics and Gynecology, theOsteopathic physician gets athorough training in the use ofantiseptics and disinfectants, aswell as the proper handling ofcontagious disease. To those whohave not had previous experiencein observing the results obtainedin infectious diseases under Os-teopathic management, the re-sults are most amazing.-Listen-ing In.

Modern Romance

From time immemorial, it hasbeen the custom in love affairsfor the man to craftily pursuethe apple of his eye according tohuman intellect, and the dictatesof his conscience. But Ted Fin-ney, having exhausted all his re-sourceful tact, and, to date, hav-ing been unable to capture oneof the fair sex, has now resort-ed to a correspondence course en-titled "Modern Romance," teach-ing how to make love, and howto find a wife. In other words,Finney has grown tired of theirksome routine of courting, andexpects to locate a missing linkby the up-to-date, 1926 Mode, ofpursuing the fair sex.

Finney did not carefully con-ceal one of the latest copies, andit fell into the hands of the cu-rious public. We herewith quotea few excerpts to show the valueof this kind of knowledge incourting, and safely inveigling,a member of the weaker sex,

One page of this mysterious pa-per is given over to a discussionentitled "A wife guaranteed toevery man who accepts this of-fer." Another column we finddevoted to the question, "Willyou get the wife you want?" Thefirst page of this unique publica-tion carries the request in largeprint, "Won't you write a lonelymaiden?", giving names, picturesand 'addresses of the lonely maid-ens fromt he four corners of theU. S. A. We cannot go into anyfurther detail here, but any oneinterested see Finney regardingthe school and fees.

Beauty Without, MeansHealth Within

Beauty must start with health,even if we consider only physi-cal beauty. The liver, the stom-ach. the whole digestive appara-tus, must be working beautifully,functioning normally, if beautyshall find its way to the featuresand grace to the form. Healthwill make a plain face whole-some and good to behold-espe-cially if the light of culture andkindliness shine out from it. Dr.C. J. Gaddis in Osteopathic Maga-zine.

Osteopathy does not teachthat each disease is due to thedisplacement of some particularvertebra. Structural derange-ment acts as the predisposingcause of disease by interferingwith the normal flow of bloodand of nervous impulses to thevarious organs and tissues, thusweakening nutritional processesand lowering the body's power ofresistance. - Osteopathic Maga-zine.

GOVERNOR COMMlENDS : D.: :M. S. C ,S PROGRESSIn an address before the stu-

He also stated that"today, Osteopathy is able tocope with the other professionsin the caring of the sick."

The Governor was introducedby the Dean immediately follow-ing the announcements regardingthe annual Interclass Track meetand stated he was' more thanpleased to see such an interestm anifested in athletics, becausethey were an essential part ofany college education. as the par-ticipation in athletic eventsteaches one "to be able to giveand to take," a necessary featurein the make-up of every individ-ual who is to succeed in his chos-en profession.

The subject of the Governor'saddress was "The Dominant Per-sonality." For a physician to besuccessful he must develop andmust become the dominant per-sonality in the community inwhich he is practicing. In orderto develop this necessary quality,one must first have the desire."Desire is a mighty power inprgi-sres;: nothing is imnpossibleto the Will."

Hot dogs and plen-ty of .pretzels with all-coloredpops, made up the refreshments.Plenty of signs by Spencer, notthe Spencer Sign Co., but ourown, entertained us on many andvaried subjects. Music was by"Ed Pillow's Nite Owls," and theywere even hotter than they werethe last time, which was plenty.

Sunday, the l1th, we had asguests at dinner Coach and Mrs.Sutton.

Steingrabbe, who has been hav-ing a lot of trouble with histhroat all the year, had his ton-sils removed the other day and isgetting along fine.

The ball team, after a littlepractice, got away to a flyingstart by defeating the Iota TauSigma team inthe first game ofthe series, by a score of 7 to 5.Some of the outstanding featuresof the game were, 1st, Weldon'shigh-class pitching, 2nd, Lashlee'shome run, and, 3rd, Cummings'great catch and peg to second,making a double. Sunday weplayed the 168th Infantry a prac-tice game, and won by the scoreof 8 to 2., Pelee was the sluggerof this game, getting a home runwith two on bases.

Charlie Johnson, along with allthe rest of his hard luck, now hasa large crop of cold sores, or, asCharlie, who always wants to beprofessional, insists, be called bythe proper name of herpes la-bialis.

With the coming of spring, JoeRader got the fever and hasstarted selling something, andfrom all indications business isgood.

Bro. Pelee let us in on a se-cret the other might when hetold us that he is and has beenfor some time a happy marriedman. Here's the best of luck toyou, Peelee.

The pledges have started wor-rying about spring house clean-ing, and it's just as well, as theyare sure going to be busy.

Spencer has become a real in-terested student of late in "Beau-ty Cultur," so if you see himsome day with nice curly hair,don't be surprised. Several ofthe rest of us are also much in-terested, but haven't been ableto get the inside dope on it, soSpence has the advantage.

It was a wise man who said:"A winner seldom ouits and aquitter seldom wins."


TUFF LUCK, WILLIEBill Russell recently enjoyed

his first 0. B. case blut was some-what chagrined when he wasmistaken for the child, and near-ly annointed with oil before the"consultant physician"' discover-ed his error.

NO DOUBTtSeveral years ago, before the

time of Osteopathy, an affidavitfrom a physician, was receivedby an insurance company in con-nection with a death claim. Un-intentionally, of course, he -hadsigned his name on the wrongline. This ordinarily would nothave been a serious mistake hadhe not signed his name to thequestion: "What was the immed-iate cause of death?"

SPECIALIZATIONVery Much Worried Man (run-

ning into office of throat spec-ialist): "Doctor! Doctor! comequickly! My little girl has swal-lowed a button."

Specialist: "What kind of but-ton?"

Very Much Worried Man: "Cel-luloid. It came from-"

Specialist (holding up hand):"You'll have to go to Dr. Wilkin-son if it's celluloid; I removeonly metal ones with an embos-sed design."

Knicker: "Who was that chapyou were just talking to?"

Bocker: "Oh, that's- .my oldfamily physician!"

Knicker: "And what did hesay?"

Bocker: ",No!"

We ought to make it plain that"knocking" Congress is distinctlya privilege of American citizen-ship, and is not to be toleratedin visitors.

THE LOG BOOK



President ---. ..--- S. L. TaylorEditor -.......-- ..... ---. -Don Baylor


HABIT

According to Webster the wordis defined as follows: A settleddisposition or tendency due torepetition. Then let us considerwhat the word means to us.

It seems as though it is a uni-versal practice for a certain percent of the student body to comelate to everything. Regardless ofthe inconvenience and handicapit works upon the one in charge,or the annoyance it creates tothe student body who is on time.It is true, a great many of theinstructors are late, but, in agreat many cases, their profess-ional work is the cause of it.This, however, cannot be used asan alibi, if such is necessary, forthe student body. They are justlate, because they went to lunchbetween classes, smoked an extracigarette, or just- didn't get upin time. Anyway, they were notthere when the class started.

This is a habit that is farfrom commendable, when a manenters the field. It is true, heoftentimes will be delayed, butthe general public does not un-derstand it that way. They wantservice, and if you don't give it,they are going to the man thatis on the job. Consequently, thehabitually late man, can soonsleep as late as he wants to inthe morning. His patients willnot disturb his peaceful slumber.

Then, again, we have the stu-dent who has the inattentivehabit. In other words, interestedin everything excepting the sub-ject at hand. Picture a fellowof this kind in the field. Perhapsthe very thing he should havebeen listening to, will come upin his practice, and then what ishe going to do. We all wellknow the inevitabl results. Henot only loses the patient, buthe also loses his good will, whichwill cost him many more.

Let us not forget the "wise-cracker," who has the wise-crack-ing habit. Regardless of the em-barassment of the instructor, heinsists on shooting off every timethe wheels in his head move upanother notch. He isn't wise, hejust thinks he is, but he still in-sists on unloading his stale jokes,and the class must, at least, tol-erate them. He might not knowit, but this habit has kept a greatmany clinic patients from ap-pearing before the classes. Wemight class him among that classof people that talks incessantly,but not intelligently.

Intellectuality

It occurs to me that the morewe become intellectual, the lesscommon sense we are apt to pos-sess. Intellectuality is a beauti-ful thing, bright as sunlight, pureas moonlight, scintillating as therays of a diamond, but ofttimesas useless as a pearl to a drown-ing fisherman. An intellectualhorse trader would end up in thePoor House.

Intellectuality is a refinementthat often reduces forcefulnessand finds an excuse for inactiv-ity. Many a man is so intellect-ual that his wife has to earn therent.

Intellectuality has a smooth,high forehead; the bumps are allon top, thus draining the fight-ing protruberances back of theears. Round headed men withred hair can get the chores donewhile intellectuality is readingEmerson and planning the mil-lenium.

Schoolmaster Squeers in Nic-olas Hickelby has the right idea."Spell 'window' he says to theboys when the pupil had done so,he orders him to go and wash it.

Will the boy forget how hespelt "window?" Well, hardly.

"Yea, the work of our hands,establish Thou it."

In acquiring knowledge, thedanger consists in learning toomany things that are not so, andbeing unable to separate themfrom the verities.

In other words, intellectualityis something to admire, ratherthan marry.

A SPRING IDOLWalking among the flowers

one beautiful morning, I foundin the yellow heart of a lady-slipper a little brown bee. Myfirst impulse was one of mischief-to shake him out of the hon-eyed retreat but as I looked athis velvety body and sunlit rain-bow wings, a feeling of foolishtenderness surged over me. Per-haps there were dear little babybees at home that would starveif Papa Bee did not bring homethe honey; and how industrous,how useful the innocent littlecreature was, carrying pollenfrom flower to flower-and so Imoved on, leaving him unmoles-ted. But as I turned away, mymind suffused with these pure,sweet, noble thoughts-the darnthing stung me!-(Selected).

Post-mortem investigation isan excellent way to determinethe facts, but never yet has itdone the subject any good.

Who Reads Log Book?

Some time ago the question asto whether or not The Log Bookwas being read by a majority ofthose receiving it, and if it werethoroughly, or merely superfic-ially gone over, was the subjectof a heated debate at the college.

In order to satisfy both sidesit was decided, after the consid-eration of several plans, to pre-pare an article on a subject notclosely related to the college ac-tivities nor to the profession, andto determine the outcome of thecontroversy on the basis of thereaction to this erroneously com-piled story.

In due time there appeared anarticle under the head of "Pros-pects," which dealt with statisti-cal information relative to thefrequently of accidents. The fig-ures were jostled in some in-stances as in the following: "Oneperson is accidently killed everyday; 87,600 every year." Thecontention was that if the LogBook were thoroughly read by amajority of those who receive iteach month, a sufficient numberof letters would be received call-ing our attention to this "error"and in the event that the con-trary were true, nothing wouldbe heard of the matter.

The results were astounding.Not only did we find out that themajority are reading the paper,but we have learned that theyare vitally interested in it andits future sucess as well. Somepretty hot letters were receivedbut the sting was somewhat abat-ed when we thought of whatthese replys indicated. It is in-deed gratifying to know that theLog Book is being read and notconsigned to the waste basket.To those who were kind enoughand interested enough to writein, we wish to express our heart-iest appreciation of their co-op-eration in helping to solve thisquestion. Let us hear from youagain.

A Texas surgeon recently am-putated a leg by the light of hisautomobile. Some more recklessmotorists have done it withoutlights.


Dr. F. A. Parker, of Wingham,Ontario, is contemplating a P. G.course in the fall and is desirousof disposing of his practice. Thepractice is well established in atown of 2500 'which is pleasantlylocated in a prosperous farmingcommunity. Osteopathy has beenknown in the vicinity for a per-iod of over fifteen years, and hascome into its own steadily. Thefield is capable of larger devel-opment as there are ten thousandpeople withing a radius of fifteenmiles of Wingham, who have noOsteopath to serve them. Any,one interested in this opportun-ity may secure the details bywriting direct to Dr. Parker..

Washington offers an excellentopportunity in the form of thepractice of Dr. C. J. Ihde ofSoap Lake, who is retiring. SoaP-Lake is a well known health re-sort, one hundred and twenty-five miles west of Spokane, andaffords an excellent opportunityfor an enterprising Osteo who islooking for plenty of work. Forfurther particulars, write theDoctor at the above address.

A desirable practice that hasbeen established for twenty-fouryears is available in Ivesdale,Ills. Details may be had fromthe Log Book.

Beware of BarnaclesAbout the easiest things to ac-

quire are bad habits. They at-tach themselves silently, likebarnacles to the side of a ship,and they check your progress-just as barnacles check the speedof a boat.

Before a boat starts on a longvoyage she is hauled into dry-dock and her sides are scrapedand painted. When she arrivesat the end of the voyage twothings have happened. Her en-gineer's report shows that eachday a little more coal was neededto keep up speed, and examina-tion reveals the fact that hersides are covered with barnacles- little shellfish. These bar-nacles were responsible for theextra coal. Each day hundredsof them attached themselves tothe sideof the boat and inter-ferred with the speed. So grad-ual was their attachment to theship that passengers were un-aware of their presence.

Every bad habit that you ac-quire is a barnacle that in theend is going to prove costly. Soguard against them. Examineyour acts each day. This will as-sist you to be on your guard andto get rid of the bad habits be-fore they get a firm grip on you.

What a paradox that the veryman to whom the world looks foradvice as to proper food, restand exercise, must eat cold grubgrabbed on the wing, sleep hang-ing on a hook by the telephoneand depend for his exercise oncranking the flivver.

The ;Baseball Fan (ardently):"Darling, I love you so much, foryour sweet sake I'd leave a ballgame in the ninth inning withthe score tied and bases full!"

THE LOG BOOK

Phi Sig's Defeat ITSIn Baseball Opener

Phi Signa Gamma won the firstof the series in the competitionfor the Sigma Sigma Phi cup bydefeating the Iota Tau Sigma ag-gregation by the score of 7 to 5,last Friday, April 9th.

The ..game was ,played: in the"Still Bowl," and a large, enthu-siastic crowd witnessed the con-test. The game was well playedand closely fought throughoutthe entire nine innings. for theP. S. G.'s. Dale Weldon pitchedthe entire game, while for the I.T. S.'s, Russell started, and wasreplaced by Rorick, who resignedin favor of Loghry, who .succeed-ed in holding the opponentsdown. Circuit hits were made byLashlee of the P. S. G.'s and byLjoghry of the I. T. S.'s.

The crowd which attended thegame by far .surpassed all expec-tations, in both numbers and inenthusiasm and pep. No footballgame can boast of such backingas this opener received.

In the second game on theschedule the Non--Fraternityteam defeated the Atlas Club, 14to 4. Errors were responsiblefor the downfall of the AtlasClub's team.

The same enthusiastic crowdattended this second game, andit is hoped that the interest man-ifested by the student body andfaculty in the two opening gamescan be continued throughout theentire schedule. In another col-umn of this issue is printed theentire schedule of games, andeach student is urged.to arrangehis work ahead of time, so thathe may attend. There is no ad-mission charge, and the fun youwill have will more than offsetany loss of time you will suffer.Let's make the attendance 100per cent for the next game.

Throughout the entire addressthe one point stressed was HardWork, and in completing the sub-ject, the Governor made the fol-lowing statement: "Nothing Su-preme can be accomplished with-out Supreme Work."

Irl his closing remarks, hestated that the student body,drawn as it is from thirty-threestates of the Union, the Dominionof Canada, and the British Em-pire, indeed speaks well for theorganization, and is indicative ofthe great stride the professionis making.

Award Athletic LettersThe assembly of April 2nd waS

devoted to the athletic depart-ment, and Dr. J. P. Schwartz,the athletic manager and CoachFrank R. Sutton spoke on theprogress D. M. S. C. 0. teams hadmade.

The chief feature of the pro-gram was the awarding of thecollege letters won in footballand basketball. Letters werepresented to the following forfootball: Graham, Jones, Thomas,Dornbush, Benein, Myers, Walk-er, Lillard, Parks, Sheetz, Ross,Williams, Brown, Stafford, Shaw,Davis, Russell, Platt and HannanFor basket ball: Hannan, H. Da-vis, Springer, Myers, Smith, Or-tal, Van Ness and Friend.

Some Things I HaveFound Out

Leslie S. Keyes, D. 0.No system of healing is come

plete.There is some virtue in all, or

they could not exist.The Osteopathic School of Med-

icine has demonstrated that :itcan cover a larger field moresuccessfully than any other.

It has been the most stable ofany recognized school of healing.

We are still finding new truthsin Father Still's teachings whichhave been sadly unnoticed intimes past.

A literal "ten fingered Osteo-path" is a rare bird.

Such boasts are usually madeto win applause from the gal-lery.

Glandular therapy is physio-logical and worth study.

It explains why we get resultsfrom treating the nerve andblood supply, to some of theductless glands. .

Why the removal of lesions af-fecting the supra-renal glandshas helped cases of eczema.

Consultation with fellow Osteo-paths, surgeons and specialistspays.

It is better to share responsi-bility in serious cases.

Should results prove fatal thefamily does not feel that oneman's opinion may have erred.

You sleep better with a physi-cian's protection policy.

The Non-Fraternity team isholding down the top-notch pos-ition in the Baseball series forthe Sigma Sigma Phi cup. Theirrating now is two wins out oftwo games played and they haveone to go to qualify for thechampionship game that is to beplayed Stillonian Day. The pitch-ing of Facto and Walker and theinfield support of Mann, MacIn-tosh and Walker are responsiblefor their lead.

The Phi Sigma Gamma andIota Tau Sigma teams are tiedfor second place, each havingwon one and lost one out of twogames played. The Atlas Clubis holding down the cellar, hav-ing dropped both games played.

Two games have been playedduring the past two weeks. TheITS defeated the Atlas Club 18'to 10. Errors at inopportunemoments -were responsible forthe high scores to both teams.

The Non-Fraternity team wal-laped the P.. i. G.'s to the tuneof 14 to 3. The boys from Cen-ter Street seemed unable to con-nect with the twisters and whenthey did, someone invariably gotin front of the ball and succeed-ed in stopping it.

Two games remain on theschedule before the champion-ship tilt between the two highteams. The I.T.S. are listed toplay the Non-Fraternity team onApril 30th and the Atlas Clubgoes against the P. S. G.'s on May3rd. Both should be good gamesand everyone is urged to attend.

Fraternity Notes

PHI SIGMA GAMMADr. and Mrs. Robert Bachman

and children were guests at din-ner Sunday, April 18th. The Doc-tor played us a couple of cornetsolos, which were greatly enjoyedby the fellows.

Bro. "Rocky" Stone has beenvery busy of late thinking upquestions to stump the instruc-tors.

Someone caused Stew Greinera good deal of embarrassment bycalling up and asking to borrowhis golf clubs. What are they,Stew, hiking knickers?

Peelee has again changed hiscar and now it is either the"Blue Streak" or "Blue BirdSpecial."

Hummer Thomas, who gradu-ated last spring, was with us dur-ing the Drake Relays, also threeof his friends. Hope you comeback again soon, Hummer.

Pledge Johnson is at last aboutwell again and is showing signsof being the same old jolly Chas.as before his illness.

Wop Chambers of Kirksvillepaid us a short visit Sunday the25th. He was up for the relays.

Conn will be with us this sum-mer, as he is to be in charge ofO. B. Clinic during the summermonths.

The baseball team has been re-cuperating the last few daysfrom the thrashing handed themawhile ago by the Non-Frats.

Much commotion is causedaround the house by Spencer--hunting for a real sharp razorwith which to cut that terriblebeard of his. I'm sure you haveall of our sympathy, Spence.

Conn has traded off his bigblack Dodge and is now drivinga shiny enclosed job.

ATLAS CLUBBro. Wise recently made a fly-

ing trip east, spending the week-end in Chicago. We wonder why?

At a recent meeting, The So-ciety of Yellow Dogs, branchedout, and markedly increased thesize of the pack. From the re-ports, a good time was had by all.

Bro. Voss recently made a tripto the home town. Business, wepresume.

With the advent of spring,everybody seems a bit active.Various out-door amusementsseem to have taken the place ofthe books.

Dr. Marshal recently favoredus with an excellent talk on fin-ger surgery. Thanks, Doctor,call again.

Bro. Voss has received an in-ternship in the Osteopathic Hos-pital in Detroit, and will assumehis duties there June 1.

It has lately come to light thatBro. Bill Ghost, for no reason atall, barely escaped doing a day'swork. His first exposure in threeyears. To date, we have noted noill effects, and hope that thecomplications will be few, if any.

To date, most of the trainingof the track squad has been donevocally.

Bro. VanNess, at last, admitsthat he didn't know how to rura Ford, is the reason he desertedhis near Grinnell, Iowa, last fall

We note, without any difficultyat all, that Bro. Trimble is sport-ing a new spring jacket, that isplenty loud.

The baseball team is doing finefor the shape it is in.

IOTA TAU SIGMAThe spirit of spring has pre-

dominated the atsmophere 'roundthe chapter house ever since thesubject of housecleaning wasfirst mentioned. That dread taskhas been quite efficiently takencare of and the premises are nowshining again after a long hardwinter.

Baseball and training for thecoming Inter-Fraternity relayrace has kept the chapter ath-letes busy for the past severalweeks. Some difficulty has beenexperienced in the matter ofturning the boys out for track,but that has been eliminated,and now the whirlwinds purralong at 6:30 a. m. like Cad-8's.

Brothers Wadkins and Nowlinpurchased for themselves a "bigpowerful black touring car"which ran spasmodically, now andthen. The grade was not quite totheir liking so they exchangedit for one of the kind that doesnot require a horn as a safetyappliance. It has a sign on theradiator that reads, "DODGE-BROTHER" according to Chirp.

The annual Relay Dance heldat the chapter house, Saturday,April 24th, proved to be one ofthe best parties of the year. Themusic was "plenty hot" and thecrowd congenial-the two mainrequisites for a good party.

There was some discussionaround the house as to the ad-visability of buying more coalso late in the year, that was set-tled by Peel Loghry's big-heartedoffer to split the wood in theback yard and eliminate the ex-pense of the coal.

The Seniors around the placethat are living in hopes of se-suring the coveted sheepskinnext month, are already begin-ning to assume that "profession-al dignity" that marks the newlygraduated physician.

Have you seen Gephart's hat?


Phi takes pleasure in announcingthe pledging of Jack Swanson,Paul Park and Floyd Lindbloom.

The chapter wishes to expressits appreciation to the studentbody for th enthusiastic mannerin which they have responded inthe competition for the BaseballTrophy.

The annual Farewell Banquetin honor of the graduating mem-bers of the chapter will be heldat the Grant Club, Tuesday eve-ning, May 18th.

My mother's mother, which ismy wife, must be my grand-mother and I being my grand- :mother's husband--I am my owngrandfather.

DI)sclaimned OwnershipA steward stood at the gang-

way of a ship and kept shoutingfor the benefit of the arrivingpassengers:

"First-class to the right! Sec-ond-class to the left!"

A young woman stepped aboardwith a baby in her arms. As shehesitated before the steward, hebent over her and said in hischivalrous way:

"First or second?""Oh!,' said the girl, her face

as red as a rose. "Oh, dear, it's-it's not mine."

Got That Member Yet?Over at the Tappa Nu Keg

house they have several humor-ists who make life bad for theSwedish cook.

The other day while servingbreakfast she dropped a soft-boiled egg on the floor.

"Oh," she wailed, "vat shall aybane do?"

One of these sarcastic brotherssmiled and said, "Why don't youjump up and down, flap yourwings and cackle?"

He Had the Wrong ManiA mountaineer of one of the

Why, Do You Do That?

How many times since you firstentered D.M.S.C.O. have you beenasked that question by some lay-man? Too few of our friends, thepublic, fully realize the scope ofOsteopathic training, and arelaboring under the delusion thatour science consists of "Rubbingthe Back."

The following article, takenfrom the Iowa Osteopathic Bul-letin, will give you some inform-ation and help in explaining tothe layety that according to thelaws of the State of Iowa, you arelicensed and trained to renderthe same service as the medicalman.

What is meant by: "A Physic-ian Licensed to Practice Medi-cine in the State of Iowa."

The Osteopathic physician andthe M. D. are licensed to andpractice the following:

Obstetrics.Perform minor surgery.Treat acute and minor diseases.Give antidotes for poisons.Give parasiticides.Use antiseptics.Give anesthetics.Make complete physical ex-

aminations.Make laboratory examinations.Use narcotic medicines.Sign death certificates.Sign birth cettificates.Prescribe diet.Advise sanitation and hygiene.Prescribe nursing.Have fully equipped hospitals.The D. 0. does not. but the M.

D. does-Give internal curative medi-

cine.Present day medical literature

and opinion is to the effect thatthe giving of medicine for cur-ative purposes is becoming asmall part of the medical doc-tor's practice.

There is no drug recognized asa cure for T. B.Discussion-What then constitutes the prac-

tice of medicine that it shouldnot give the same privileges andobligations to the Medical doctorand the Osteopathic physicianalso.

Mother's Day

Sunday, May 9 will be Mother'sDay. This custom was first orig-inated a few years ago by a Phil-adelphian and since has spreadthroughout the entire UnitedStates. The second Sunday in Mayof each year is the time set forthe observance of this event, andeveryone is urged to wear thecarnation in honor of his or herMother.

Next Year's Prospects

At this early date, the office isbeginning to receive letters from,prospective students for thenext fall term.

A number of high school stu-dents who are members of Junegraduating classes have writtenrequesting information relativeto our institution, and a majorityof these letters expressed a deepinterest in Osteopathy. Withthis beginning, coming as earlyas it~ does, the outlook for nextyear is exceedingly good. Al-though we are keeping in mindthe old "saw" about countingyour chicken before they arehatched, we cannot help but feelthat the incoming class next fallwill be a record breaker.

The Field men and Alumni ofthe college are the ones that willmake a successful year for theschool. They are in direct con-tact with the seniors of the highschool graduating classes in theirlocality and can bring the storyof Osteopathy to them. The Col-lege is more than willing to co-operate with the alumni in anypossible manner in the securingof new students. We need them!

Catalogs and any informationthat may be desired will bepromptly sent on request..

Remember-The Value of Time.The Success of Perseverence.The Pleasure of Working.The Dignity of Simplicity.The Worth of Character.The Power of Kindness.The Influence of Example.The Obligation of Duty.The Prudence of Economy.The Virtue of Patience.The Wisdom of Temperance.The Joy of Service.

THE LOG BOOK

Don't Call Me "Doc"!What physician likes to be

called "Doc"? Answer, from aloud and ever-swelling chorus-"NOBODY!" How many medicalmen are called "Doc"? Answer-sotto voce "all of them."

The late Doctor Phineas L.Conner, of Cincinnati, was wontto tell his students that "Whena man first calls you 'Doc' or mis-pronounces your name, reprovehim gently. When he repeatsthe offense, reprove him profane-ly. If he does it the third time,knock him down."

Don't Call Me "Doc"!I am a Doctor of Osteopathy.

My title is DOCTOR.The word doctor means a teach-

er a learned man- one schooledin a learned profession.

The degree of Doctor is thehighest given by any university,and indicates that its owner isto be classed with the mosthighly educated men.

Any man should be proud topossess this degree and to bedesignated as "DOCTOR," but noself-respecting professional mandesires to be called "Doc," whichis a despicable mutilation of amost honorable title.

No other title is similarlyabused. Does one ever hear theposessors of these titles calledby an abbreviation-Pres(ident),Gov(ernor), Sen(ator), Cong-(ressman), Gen(eral), Col(onel),Rev(erend)?

Cultured people never addressa physician as "Doc," and otherpeople should not do it.

No man is harmed by being soaddressed, but when a personcalls a physician "Doc," the doc-tor's opinion of him is lowered.When a physician is addressed as"Doctor," he recognizes thespeaker as a person of superiorintelligence, who respects him-self, and honors the profession.

Please drop "Doc" and culti-vate DOCTOR.

New Journal Appears onOsteo Horizon

Child Welfare

How to develop and rear ahealthy race of infants andchildren is the great questionwhich is being attacked by manyorganizations, both professionaland otherwise, writes JeanetteH. Bolles, D. O., in the Osteo-pathic Magazine.

There was a time when thechild welfare movement was di-rected largely to the study oftreatment of sick children. Alsothere was a time when babyshows were in vogue, with prizesgiven for the best physical spec-imens of babyhood. That methodreally militated against the re-sults we were striving to attain,because only the best childrenwere entered and those in needof advice and help stayed away.

Today we use what may be cal-led the educational method. Thisincludes the holding of children'shealth conferences and children'sclinics, where the sick or defec-tive child may receive assist-ance and treatment, and wherethe parents of the well child aretaught how to keep him well.

Fifteen Minutes a DayWill Do It

If you will consistently andpersistently exercise fifteen min-utes every day, it will mean notonly better posture, but also bet-ter health and longer life. Butyou must do a good job of it -exercise from toes to scalp. Walk,

run, stretch, twist, breathe -breathe deeply, widely, thenblow the breath out; keep thatdiaphragm moving, expanding,doming. Keep the circulationfree about those vital organs-the liver, spleen, stomach andkidneys. A little upside-downexercise would help lots of folks.Keep your abdomen in and yourchest out. It's fifteen minutesevery day-no less. And no ex-cuse accepted if results are ex-pected. O. M.

The Modern Woman

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes saidNature is in earnest when shemakes a woman. Confucius andLessing declared woman Nature'smasterpiece. There is nothingtoo difficult for her. Whetherbusiness, profession, or the artof home-keeping, woman is afactor to be reckoned with. Ouronly concern is that she do notdespise or turn aside from hergreater role for the lesser.

The arts have not found her astranger, science has made roomfor her, and even politics hasopened its door. No more theclosed fields; but will woman,conscious of the infinite rangeof her power, awakening to newknowledge and new freedom, willshe :in her ambition choose thelesser service to the race? Shouldthe fittest of the type so choose,the world might well be con-cerned. This could hardly be,for the finest instinct in womanmust prevail. The laws of life

PDES MOINES STILL COLLEGEOF OSTEOPATHY

president --.-.-- S. L. TaylorJlEditor .....-- .. - Don Baylor


Another Year Completed

Commencement, Thursday, May27th will place the period at theend of the record of another yearof success and accomplishment inthe history of the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy.

1925 and 1926 have indeed beengood to D. M. S.. C. O. Duringthe past nine months the studentbody of the college has enjoyeda healthy substantial growth-the clinics have experienced alike increase-the faculty of thecollege is larger and strongerthan ever before and the finan-cial status of the institution isthe soundest it has enjoyed sincethe war.

The progressive spirit that hasbeen in evidence throughout theyear is to continue. D. M. S. C.0. is going forward by big strides.The coming years will bring evengreater accomplishment and suc-cess than the one just completed.

A fair degree of advancementof the college depends upon theattitude and activities of the stu-dent body. During your comingvacation, work' for the good ofD. M. S. C. O. Interest and bringback at least one new studentwhen you return next fall!

It never hurts my feelin's, noraffects my mortal pride to havea feller-traveler sorter nudge mein the side; when my corns hasgot rebellious, or my breath's a-gettin' short-the little nudgereminds me that I've got to bea sport . . .

Dates Changed on StateConvention

The dates as announced for thecoming state convention havebeen advanced one day and themeeting will open on Tuesday in-stead of Wednesday. Due to con-flicting engagements, it was alsonecessary to change the place ofthe meeting from the Hotel Sav-ery as originally announced, tothe Hotel Fort Des Moines.

On Thursday afternoon,- Dr. H.J. Marshall of Des Moines, willspeak on the subject, "The As-sociation and the New Doctor."This address is directed particu-larly to the upper Junior andSenior students at the collegeand they are all urged to bepresent for this paper. DoctorMarshall is probably one of thebest qualified men in the stateto speak on this particular sub-ject and it will be well worth thewhile of every student to hearhim.

Faculty Start DefeatCollege Champs

Extra! Extra! The augmentalFaculty nine defeats the cham-pion Non-Frat team. Special cuppresented at Stillonian Dance.

Yea Bo! Your eyes don't de-ceive you! The staid and digni-fied faculty of the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy re-verted back to the days of theiryouth and cavorted around thediamond in true manner midstthe plaudits of the applaudingmob.

The outstanding features of thegame were Bachman's fielding andsensational batting-Hurt's elev-enth hour home run and Woodsbase running. The real kick ofthe engagement came from theDean's umpiring. Scouts fromthe Big Leagues that were in at-tendance have already approachedDr. Johnson with tempting of-fers of big time and money butthe Dean is true to his first loveand will not desert the cause ofOsteopathy for glittering fameand a few paltry dollars. Newand startling were the decisionsrendered by "Charley."

On the serious side, this ballgame is the best thing that hasever happened to the faculty andto the student body. It givesthe Doctors an apportunity todrop for a time that iron linedcoat of professional dignity andpermits them to cavort about andkick up their heels as desiredwithout fear of criticism and italso impresses the students withthe fact that the Faculty are hu-man the same as thmeselves, afact that is, no doubt, some timesquestioned.

On with the ball games! Letshave one every year.

Dr. Axham Dies

In England last week Dr. F.W. Axham died of bronchitis, inhis 86th year. Two days beforedeath he whispered haltinglyover the rales: "Let us forgive.I speak generally. For myself Iforgive, as I hope to be forgiven."

Thus he completed a 15-yearunmitigated professional outlaw-ry imposed on him by the Gen-eral Medical Council for sinningagainst its established fiats.

Dr. Axham was one of thefamed of British physicians, al-most adored by the poor whomhe attended without fee. Duringthe Chinese war on board an oth-erwise doctorless ship he single-handedly cared for 300 fever-stricken patients. For that QueenVictoria personally thanked him.

Some 20 years ago he becameconverted to the remarkablemanipulative surgery of the thenyoung Herbet Atkinson Barker(Knighted in 1922 for his as-tounding work with War wrecks.Now in his 57th year he makeshis home at Alassio, Italy) whowas not an orthodox surgeon,whom the medical profession con-demned for "irregular" practices.Dr. Axham served as his anes-thetist.

For five years, until 1911, theirrelations were scanned but notdisturbed. That year the GeneralCouncil acted, forced the surren-der of Dr. Axham's license, os-tracized him. He could not prac-tice at all, although he could anddid continue to act as anesthet-ist for Osteopath Barker, whothrough the years acquired moreand more fame, until his knight-ing. That event gave a spurt tothe propaganda of laymen forthe restoration of Dr. Axham'sdignities. The press assumed in-terest. Parliament heard of thecase. Yet the General Councilremained obdurate.

The campaign continued so wellthat three months ago the Col-lege of Physicians of Edinburghrestored to him his diploma.Friends urged the General Coun-cil for immediate restoration. Itmight consider the matter at itsnext semi-annual meet in June.Last week Dr. Axham died inold age, and posthumous re-estab-lishment would be unprecedentedin England.

D.M.S.C. Grad HonoredDr. J. C. Humbert of the Jan-

uary, 1926 class was signallyhonored at the recent Minnesotastate convention, when he waselected a Trustee of the state as-sociation. The college wishes tocongratulate Dr. Humbert uponhis election and to wish him suc-cess in his association work.

Other officers of the associa-tion elected were: Dr.. . J.Turner, pres., Dr. S. M. Stern,secretary treasurer. The othermembers of the Board of Trus-tees are, Drs. H. C. Edmiston, R.M. King, C. E. Meed and SelmaQuade.

Dr. A. E. Allen was elected esMinnesota's delegate to the Na-tional convention.

If you blaze your own trailyou'll reach a desirable goal.

Stillonian Day Was BigSuccess

The second Annual StillonianDay was observed by the collegeon Friday, May 7th.

The morning started with theregular class sessions and at thecustomary chapel time all metin the assembly room. The pro-gram for the morning was con-ducted by Lois Irwin-Richardson,the Editor-in-Chief of the yearbook. After a brief resume ofthe trials and tribulations of an"editress," Mrs. Richardson pre-sented copies of the 1926 Stilon-ion to the president, Dr. S. L.Taylor, and to the Dean, Dr. C.W. Johnson, who each made ap-propriate speeches of acceptance.

The 1926 Stillonian was dedi-cated to Dr. J. P. Schwartz, oneof the most popular members ofthe famous "D.M.S.C.O. All-StarFaculty." The dedication to Dr.Schwartz was most appropriate,as it was through his influencethat the first Stillonian was pub-lished. The Doctor was a littlelate in arriving for the presenta-tion ceremony but delivered him-self of a speech of acceptancethat amply made up for his tar-diness.

Staff heads for the comingyear were then introduced, andafter the retiring editor's "speechof thanks", that was nearly for-gotten, the gang was turnedloose to get their books. Theplatform was mobbed and it re-quired some time to get themsettled down so that the booksmight be delivered. Everyonewas well pleased with this year'spublication, and registered a voteof thanks to the staff for theirefforts.

No · more classes were held inthe morning, and following thenoonday hash slinging contest,everyone gathered at the WestHigh Stadium and witnessed theInter-Class track meet and thechampionship baseball game. De-tails of these events are givenelsewhere.

In the evening, Goddess Terp-sichore held court at the MasonicTemple, and the dulcet strainsof the sax and violin wound upthe most successful "StillonianDay" in the school's history.

Everything went off-without ahitch, and everybody had a goodtime! The student body are al-ready looking forward to thenext observance of this gala daywhich will be held the first Fri-day in May, 1927.

SPEAKING OF A HORSEA man drove into an old-fash-

ioned hotel yard and, addressingthe ostler, said:

"Extricate my quadruped fromthe vehicle and give him an ade-quate supply of nutritious ali-ment, and when the aurora ofmorn shall illuminate the hori-zontal horizon I will award youa pecuniary compensation foryour amiable and obliging hos-pitality.

Thg groom thought for a mo-ment, then rushed into the hoteland said: "Hi, Bill! There's aforeigner wants to speak to you.

Juniors Cop Inter-ClassTrack Meet

(Continued from page 1)last minute from the medley tothe quarter, each man going 220.Throughout the entire race themen were evenly matched, andit was only the last few feet ofthe race that determined thewinner. Loghry, anchor man ofthe Juniors, crossed the line onlya fraction of a second ahead ofKale, who traveled the laststretch for the Frosh. Wadkins,Davis, Cummings and Loghryrepresented the Juniors, whileWright, Heinlen, Myers and Kalecarried the Frosh colors.

On the day of the meet, it wasdecided to add two field eventsto the program. In the polevault, unexpected talent was dis-covered in Smith, Friend andWadkins, who finished in the or-der named. The shot-put was theother added event and was alsotaken by the Frosh, when Slussstepped up and heaved the ironpill for an even forty feet. VanNess, Walker and Lashlee, allJuniors, took the remainingpoints.

A summary of the points wonby the competing classes will befound on page four.

A Hot OneA little man, swelled up with

a pleasant sense of selfimpor-tance, stopped me on the cornerand insisted on telling his story.

He said that he genteral man-ager of the corporation whichemploys him had sent a letter ofinstructions through the office,and that there was somethingwrong about it. Just what waswrong I could not quite makeout, but it provided the littleman with an opportunity.

"Believe me." he boasted, ex-panding his chest, "I shot himback a hot one."

Giving himself a pat on theback, he proceeded up the street,looking for another sympatheticlistener.

It was amusing to watch himon his triumphant way, and towonder how much energy is con-sumed each twenty-four hours inthe private game of shootingback a hot one. How many scath-ing letters are composed in men'sminds; how many imaginary con-versations are carefully workedout to a devastating climax; howmuch verbal shadow-boxing goesto the endless tune of: "I says tohim, 'Look here,' I says "

Every man who holds a posi-tion of responsibility expectscriticism. It is a part of the dis-cipline. Said Gladstone to JohnModley:

"Take lit from me that to en-dure trampling on with patienceand self-control is a bad elementin the preparation of a man forwalking firmly and successfullyin the path of public duty."

If you are doing work thatseems to you important, waste notimei n winning verbal victoriesor answering petty criticism.Adopt the motto of the greatEnglishman: "Never explain, nev-er retract, never apologize. Getit done and let them howl."

Let the little folks amuse them-selves by shooting back hot ones.

Musical ProgramsFeature Assemblys

For the past three or fourweeks, music has been the pre-dominating feature of the week-ly assemblys. Sufficient varia-tion as to the kind of music hasbeen exercised, and as a resultit did not become monotonous.Jazz orchestra, instrumentalnumbers, vocal solos in nearly allranges of voice and specialtieshave all helped to furnish a di-versified and entertaining pro-gram. The return engagementof Ab Gaham, and Angus wasprobably the most outstandingprogram of the group. This time"Ang" had a little support in thepersons of an additional mando-lin and a guitar player whose ac-tivities added greatly to the in-terest of the numbers. In par-ticular, the manner in which themandolin player handled the tam-borine will remain for some timein the minds of the students.

The Women's Pan-Hellenic As-sociation arranged a very pleas-ing program for the fifteenth.Several vocal and instrumentalnumbers preceded a group of ex-cellent reading by Mr. H. D.Bruner.

Only one more assembly re-mains on the year's schedule andin view of the precedent estab-lished by the Senior classes ofthe past, it should be the best ofthe lot.

SOME OSTEOPATHICFUNDAMENTALSBY DR. LESLIE S. KEYES

Do we think in terms of Osteo-pathic fundamentals when weoutline treatment? Do we takeproper thought, after our exam-ination of the patient, to defi-nitely outline what we hope toaccomplish by our correctivework? This question does not re-fer to the ultimate results whichthe patient is looking for, but toour own method and details ofapplying the basic scientific prin-ciples of Osteopathic technique.

While a member of the Minne-sota Examining Board for overfifteen years, I have been aston-ished, times without number, atthe answers given as to the mod-us operandi of treatment. Mosteverything in therapeutics wouldbe mentioned but the real basicfactors that would make an Os-teopathic treatment produce re-sults.

If a medical man examines apatient, he invariably writes aprescription, which requiressome sembbance of study and ac-curate combination of differentdrugs, to make up a formulaethat will have some particularaction upon the human system.In prescribing for a patient un-der Osteopathic care, we shoulduse just as much, and more, defi-nite thought as to what thispatient is going to require ofour technique.

As a basis for discussion, I havedivided the Osteopathic prescrip-tion, or aim of treatment, underfour general headings:

First-An attempt at correct-ion of lesions.

Second-The removal of ob-structions to the blood andlymph flow.

gans.Fourth-Stimulation, or inhib-

itions of nerve centers.I.

My observation has been thatthe average Osteopath often failsto find the primary lesion, andmany secondary lesions present,in a given case. He fails in thisfrom the lack of making a care-ful diagnosis and a failure to rec-ognize points of immobility inthe spine. He also fails to as-sociate the recognized nerve cen-ters with the organs involved,and fails to hunt out lesionswhich invariably are present,either as primary or secondarycausative or reflex, as the casemay be.

In making an examination ofthe spine one should satisfy him-self that every spinal segmenthas a normal range or motion, orseek a cause why such motion, isrestricted. Regardless of whatour interpretations of lesionsmay be, we must establish mo-tion in a spinal segment beforewe can be satisfied that a com-plete correction is really made.

We all realize that in some in-stances even partial mobility isimpossible, or should not be at-tempted; but when indicated,each treatment should be direct-ed in a specific way to create mo-tion where sub-luxations arefound.

We should differentiate, too,when a lesion may be caused bya reflex condition and perhapsneeds rest, instead of motion.The point of treatment is, how-ever, to seek to accomplish some-thing definite along the line ofcorrection at each treatment and3 nt, ',, -rJI Olaie 4L;mi In n1 "r- -IIell enot penuvileS bone i so-nl

Don't be satisfied withyour work unless you know thatyou can correct any correctablelesion. If you cannot do this, seek -.someone, some school, or somepost-graduate course that canmake it possible. Too many todayare satisfied with a job half doneand then wonder why the otherfellow gets ahead and gets re-sults. Nothing less than "findingit and fixing it" should satisfy.

It is indeed with regret that w;report the resignation of Dr. Geo,E.. Hurt; from the faculty of theDes Moines Still College of Oste-opathy.

George has only been with u1for a brief two years, but duringthat time has endeared himselfin the hearts of the student bodyas a "square-shooter" and a wooodinstructor. He is planning onopening an office in his home city,Dallas, Texas.Dr. Hurt had charge of the lab.oratories and to quote PresidentJohnson, made more progress indeveloping this important branchof our education as Osteopathicphysicians, than had been madesince the college was organized.

Good luck to you, George!

The program for the meeting iswell diversified and the men ap-pearing are the best the pro-fession has to offer. Word fromthe central office indicates thatthe convention will enjoy a rec-ord-breaking attendance.

The morning sessions will bedevoted to the general programfeatures and the afternoons towLie --Vc*l'rixcu itl poglliza.

The general trend of the entireprogram is towards diagnosis-all papers stressing that all im-portant factor in a physician'sultimate success. Dr. Carl John-son of Louisville, who has shoul-dered the gigantic task of pro-gram chairman, is indeed to becongratulated upon the attrac-tive list of speakers that he hassecured.

Immediately preceding the A.0. A. convention the AmericanOsteopathic Society of Opthalmo-logy and Otolarngology will con-duct their annual meeting. Thedates for this gathering are June23rd to 26th and the program forthat group is under the able di-rection of Dr. J. B. Buehler.

Taylor, presided at themeeting which was exceptionallywell atttended. Throughout theentire meeting a spirit of enthu-siasm and accord with the poli-cies of the administration pre-valed and a decidedly optimisticoutlook for the future of the in-stitution was manifest by allpresent.

Dr. C. W. Johnson was unam-iously chosen as President of thecollege for the coming year andMrs. K. M. Robinson and Dr. E.E. Steffen were re-elected secre-tary and treasurer respectively.

The most outstanding featureof the entire meeting was the re-port of the Treasurer, coveringthe past year, which was readfrom the report made by the au-ditors. The report disclosedthat during the past year, in ad-dition to the payment of currentexpenses of the institution, a sumof over ten thousand dollars hadbeen expended on past obliga-tions. Never before has the man-agement been able to make sucha vast reduction in a single yearof the old accounts.

Stryker Heads StateAssociation

At the recent annual conven-tion of the Iowa State Osteopa-thic Association, held in DesMoines, Dr. C. N. Stryker of IowaCity was chosen as president forthe ensuing year. Dr. R. B. Gil-mour of Sioux City was re-elect-ed secretary-treasurer of the as-sociation.

Dr. Stryker has been active inthe association work in the statefor a number of years and hispast successes more than qualifyhim for this new position. Hiselection as president of the stateassociation comes as a well meri-ted reward for the years offaithful service he has renderedthe Osteopathic profession.

President ....-.-.........C. W. JohnsonEditor.....-....,.- .......... ...- Don Baylor


Behold the ManHe loved the poor, not for

their poverty, but for their ob-vious helplessness.

There can be no virtue in pov-erty, but there need be no vice;therefore he poured out hisblessed wealth of love into theirnot too receptive hearts. Oft didhe beat with tired hands andbruised knuckles on the fast-bound door of prejudice and un-belief, but wearied not in histask. He could despise the rich,pot for their rches but for theirbase forgetfulness. Well did heknow the emptiness of thisworld's vain possessions, for hehimself had .more than once re-fused great power and affluence,preferring the lowliness of hu-man servitude, the toiler's home.

He smote, with all the acidtaunt of his sharp tongue, thewily hypocrte who, under thesheltering robe of sanctimoniouspiety, played false with life andhis poor guileless brothers. Hetore away the mask and showedthe world the shame of all de-ceit, whether of wealth or van-ity.

He made his ways with all theworld's outcasts; the weak andfoolish ones whom life hadwrecked on its hard test of rightand wrong. Many the time hisgentle hands did grasp, either thesure hold of faith, the frail andfeeble one that had perhapstaken its owner into the depthsof earthly hell; with the faiththat asks no questions, seeks notto probe the guilty heart of sin,but lifts up the stricken one tothe very gates of heaven.

Co unted his friends wereshameless women, schemingrogues, the blasphemous, thefalse, the very flotsam of humanfailure; but he awoke, in what-ever hearts they had, a responsethat echoed the divine chord inhis soul.

He could forgive the wrong,but could not forget the right;his path did lead into new worldwhere faint-hearted man daredhardly follow. He was a flamethat scorched only to purify nev-er to destroy. He knew no fearfor he was born to suffer and inhis suffering to find his own sal-vation.

Dauntless where other menwould have been filled withdread, he challenged authority orits very doorstep, blazing withwrath to see the world he lovedbeing made the dupe of despoticsuperstition.

He followed the fixed star of hisintent,

Whether it lead to happiness orwoe;

Do Not Judge Too Hard

Pray don't find fault with theman who limps,

Or stumbles along the road,Unless you have worn the shoes

he wearsOr struggled beneath his load,

There may be tacks in his shoesthat hurt,

Though hidden away fromview,

Or the burdens he bears placedon your back,

Migh cause you to stumbletoo.

Don't sneer at the man who'sdown today,

Unless you have felt the blowThat caused his fall, or felt the

sameThat only the fallen know.

You may be strong, but still theblows,

That were his, if dealt to youIn the self-same way at the self-

same time,Might cause you to stagger

too.

Don't be too harsh with the manwho sins,

Or pelt him with words orstones,

Unless you are sure, yea, doublysure,

That you have not sins of yourown;

For you know, perhaps, if thetempter's voice,

Should whisper as soft to you,As it did to him when he went

astray,'Twould cause you to falter,

too.

THE LOG BOOK

Valleys and ChildrenHills and sea floors tell interest-ing tales, but valleys speak a moreintelligible language, says LouisaBurns, M. S., D. O., in the Osteo-pathic magazine. The GrandCanyon of the Colorado illus-trates the marvelous power oferosion by water during centu-ries of time. In Utah there is abroad and fertile valley boundedby shelf-like terraces on themountain sides. These shelves arethe shores of ancient Lake Bon-niville, never seen by human eye,but described to us by the struc-ture of the valley and by theshells of the salt-water animalsand the fresh-water animalswhich occup the alternatingshore lines, still visible in theterraced mountain sides whichbound the valley.

In mucn the same mannerstructural changes in the humanbody tell a certin story of thepast. Knob-like masses on theends of the ribs, a depressionalong the side of the breast bone,a keel-shaped chest and otherstructural peculiarities tell of achildhood lacking in sunshineand in proper nourishment. Cer-tain curvings of the spinal col-umn tell of depletion of alkalireserve of the body in childhood;other types of spinal curvaturetell of long-continued hip bonelesions. A peculiar gait, an oddtwist of the shoulders, thesethings tell very plainly of ine-quality in the length of the legs,of bad habits, of carrying heavyloads or of sitting in improperlyselected desks or chairs, or ofother unwise conditions of child-hood.

These structural peculiaritiescan be changed and the health ofthe child be greatly benefitted bythe correction of such lesionsearly in life and by avoiding thecauses of them afterwards. Butthe persistent use of the improp-er desks, of carrying too heavyloads, or living with too littlesunshine and of other incorrectcustoms finally leaves an incur-able defect of body and a ten-dency to certain diseases laterin life.

Are You "Level-Headed?"

You have perhaps glanced inthe mirror half a dozen times to-day to see if your hair lay prop-erly or if your powder was onstraight, but have you everlooked to see if your head wason straight? Maybe the last timeyou went to the photographer'she finished posing you by tiltingyour head at what seemed to be amost awkward and strained angle,but when the pictures came outyou found yourself uprightenough instead of looking likethe dog in "His Master's Voice"as you expected. Or. possibly,you are aware of the rakishangle at which you carry your"upper story" and pride yourselfin a certain pert cockiness whichit imparts to your bearing.-Dr.H. I. Magoun in OsteopathicMagazine.

People Siould Walk

Walking is an art that mostmen and women are able to ac-quire or recover, and withoutserious trespass upon the voca-tions of life, if only they do notyield to the softness of .moderncomforts and convenience ofwheels. The women who in cer-tain parts of the world stillcarry their burdens for miles ontheir heads have kept a carriagewhich queens must envy. Themen who walked or ran in theprimitive chase had a physicaldevelopment which 10,000 yearsof civilization have not improvedupon.

Walking is the one universalart to save the race from physi-cal degeneracy. Millions aredaily yielding to temptation ofwheeles when they would be bet-ter off physically, not to sayfinancially, if they accepted thetransportation of their own feet.

AIN'T MEN AND WOMENQUEER?

"Call a girl a chick and shesmiles. Call her a hen and shehowls. Call a young woman awitch and she is pleasant; call anold woman a witch and she is in-dignant. Call a girl a kitten andshe rather likes it; call a womana cat and she hates you. Womenare queer.

"If you call a man a gay dog,it will flatter him; call him a pup,a hound, or a cur, and he will tryto alter the map of your face. Hedoesn't mind being called a bullor a bear, yet he will object tobeing mentioned as a calf or acub. Men are queer, too."-Ex-change.

Causes of StomachUlcers

Ulcers of the digestive trat;can be cured, but it is muachmore sensible to prevent them.One cannot continue to overeat,become constipated, overwori-ed,or wearied without invitingtrouble, and ulcers are amongthe most common results. Iflong neglected they may beconmeserous matters.

There are other predisposing'causes-congestion in the duo-denum, stomach, or other part ofthe long tract; a dropping down,of the parts so as to interferewith the drainage and blood sup-ply; a disturbance in the part ofthe spine which controls thatsegment.-Dr. G. J. Gaddis in,Osteopathic Magazine.

Value of Training"Every time you make a boy a-

trained worker," a prominent-banker remarked, "take him outof the unskilled class and put him.into the skilled class, you morethan double his earning and pro-ducing power. For that reason,"he said, "the money we put into'education is the best investment,on earth."

We are spending more moneyon our penal institutions than weare spending on education. We,are faced, too, with the appallingfact that nearly three-fourths ofthose confined in the penal insti-tutions of our country are undertwenty-one years of age, youngpeople who should just be start-ing out on their life careers; and-we must not forget that "thefinest prison conceivable is onlya monument to neglected youth."-Selected.

Historical SketchBy DR. ELLA STILL

N THE SUMMER OF 1898 there came to Des Moines a group ofpeople who were imbued with the desire to spread the gospelof Osteopathy and to choose for that purpose a place which shouldafford all the advantages necessary. They had decided that twoof the essential things could easily be obtained in Des Moines-

unlimited clinical material and employment for those who wished to workin order to help meet their expenses. The first year the school was con-ducted in a reconstructed building just opposite the school grounds. In

the fall of the second year, a very joyous faculty and student body tookpossession of the structure which now houses the Des Moines Still College.

Those who were instrumental in starting this school were Dr. S. S. Still,nephew of the "Old Doctor", Dr. Ella Still, Col. and Mrs. A. L. Conger, Dr.

W. L. Riggs and Dr. Helm. To this group, were soon added many more, whowere well known in the Osteopathic world, and thus was formed a facultywhich ranked among the best. The College was named the Dr. S. S. StillCollege of Osteopathy. The only one to bear the name of STILL. Thegrowth of the institution was phenomenal.

In a short time it absorbed the Milwaukee, Northern, Fargo and South-

ern colleges of Osteopathy. It was the first college to confer the degreeDoctor of Osteopathy. Up to that time the graduates were known as Diplo-mats. It is interesting to know that every instructor was a thoro Osteo-path and in every class the subject was emphasized. One could write

volumes on the early days of this college and then not tell of all the

wonderful things accomplished. I should like to name all those who wereassociated with us but space forbids; suffice to say that there was never a

group, faculty or students, more enthusiastic, all working together for the

advancement of the science.

The good work started in 1898 is still being carried on in the DesMoines Still College. May there be no wavering of faith; may we not lose

sight of the fact that we owe much to Dr. A. T. Still, who had his dream

come true-the benefits of which we share.

in all major athletics. Under the mentorship of Coach Frank Sutton, thecollege has acquired an enviable reputation throughout this section of thecountry for turning out hard-fighting, square, clean athletic teams. Foot-ball, basketball, track and baseball are the four major sports in which"Still" participates. Besides the athletic teams, every student has an op-portuni ty to- participate in whatever athletic diversion they prefer. Golfand tennis courts are found in every section; of the city and the studentsparticipating in these sports have plenty: of keen competition.

One of the most popular features of athletics is an annual inter-classtrack and field day. All the Classes prepare for some time previous for theseevents, and the friendly rivalry in competition makes a worth-while holiday.

The Des Moines GeneralHospital

The institution has been under Osteopathic control for the past seven-

teen years and today is the only Osteopathic hospital in the state of Iowa.

The present scope of the Des Moines General Hospital is a very broad one.

Every recognized therpeutic method is thioroughly covered. The laborato-

ries for diagnosis are unexcelled. The clinical laboratories cover all reliable

methods of examination, including blood and urine chemistry, basal meta-

bolism, serum reactions and tissue diagnosis. Physio-therapy equipment is

up to date and complete. X-Ray treatment is covered completely and ra-

dium therapy is used where indiacted. The hospital owns sixty milligramsof radium.

The upper classmen of Still College soon learn to appreciate the value

of a hospital associated with the college. The surgical clinics are held at

the hospital each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Senior students are

privileged to attend regularly to observe and to assist in all kinds of sur-

gical operations. During the year 1925 over 1,850 patients were operated

upon in the minor surgical clinics. These operations consisted of circum-

cisions, removal of small tumors, opening of abscesses, turbinecomies, sub-

mucus resections, drainage of sinuses, removal of polypi, adenoidectomies,

tonsilectomies, and hemorrhoidectomis by different methods. In the major

surgical clinics students have witnessed nearly every type of major opera-tion.

The obstetrical department brings in numbers of patients so that the

students are taught how to conduct a delivery in the hospital.

-Senior students are entitled to have. X-Ray and laboratory work done

on their patients in the clinic for one-half of the regular charge. No stud-

ent of-the college need- to ever neglect- diagnosis inasmuch as all facilities

for examination under competent supervision are always at hand.

The hospital is invaluable to the students of Still College in preparing

them for the future. The scope of osteopathic practice is greatly broad-

ened by hospital affiliation. It's practitioners are fully versed in hospital

care and ethics when they graduate from the Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy.
