Des Moines An IdealConvention City

The City of Des Moines haslong been known as the Conven-tion City and rightly, for DesMoines is prepared in every wayto meet the needs of any conven-tion, whether it be large orsmall, in a most excellent man-_ner. It is ideally located in thecenter of the Osteopathic profes-sion and as has been said is lessthan twenty-four hours fromninety per cent of the profession.

The first six months of theyear 1928 there were one hun-dred and five conventions enter-tained in this city, among whichwas the American Home Eco-nomics Association. The attend-ance was the largest to this con-vention that it has ever been andthey heartily endorsed DesMoines as a convention city. Thisconvention was of special inter-est to the Osteopaths in view ofthe fact that Dietetics wasstressed and it is of vital inter-est to both.

The week of July 10th willbring another convention herethat will number between sixand ten thousand visitors. TheLions International is known toall and when they choose DesMoines it is an added boost to besure that this is a real conven-tion city.

The American Association forthe Advancement of Science hasalready chosen Des Moines fortheir meeting in 1929. This willmean that there will be betweentwo and three thousand of theleading scientists of the world

,-meet here- to--place- before theconvention the modern progressand development of Science.

Considering the above there isno doubt that Des Moines offersan ideal place for the NationalConvention of 1929. But addedto this is excellent hotel accom-niodations, large and convenienthalls, golf courses, parks, andtheaters that offer you a com-plete and varied program, andgreatest of all a spirit of hospi-tality and co-operation.

Those in Favor Vote"Aye"

The other day I met DinkToles on the street here in DesMoines and we got to talkingabout the coming convention inKirksville. Dink said he thoughtthe Friars and Lucky 13 oughtto get together and if so hewould make a special effort tobe present.

New StudentsThe article entitled "Too Much

Work" in this issue, is one ofsound advice and is well worththe consideration of anyone whoanticipates the study of theScience of Osteopathy or theentering any school of highereducation in the preparation fortheir life work. It is well togive this a thought yet in thecity of Des -,Moines- 'there is- 'n-limited opportunity for the stu-dent to earn a large part of theirway without taking an undueamount of their time from theirschool work. The school hastaken this into consideration andhave arranged the schedule sothe classes are cut in time forthe student who finds it neces-sary to work for their meals canbe at the various places in thecity in plenty of time. There aremany opportunities to tend fur-nace, etc., in return for a roomin a city the size of Des Moines.The instructors and the officialsof the school are very consider-ate and will do all that they canin order to aid the student. Acollege employment bureau ismaintained and notices are regu-larly posted. The business menof the city are very helpful andgo out of their way in order toprovide odd jobs and employ-ment that the student can workpart time. When such openingsare created they call the collegeand notice is posted on the stu-dent board, although many whoare especially adapted along cer-tain lines of work go out and se-cure their own positions.

The college advises that thestudent have enough to care forthe payment of the tuition, 'thepurchase of necessary books, etc.,and with work that will utilizespare hours the student will notrisk scholastic standing butrather aid themselves both ma-terially and financially.

Prefers a Des MoinesGraduate

We are just in receipt of aletter from Dr. Louis Miller ofDeLand, Fla., asking for some-one to take over a practice thathe is familiar with and says: "Iwould prefer a Des Moines grad-uate on account of his experi-ence in looking after athletes. Ifyou know of anyone who mightbe interested, I would be glad tocommunicate with them."

Write him if you want to goto Florida and can qualify.

From the Field

A letter from Dr. ReginaldPlatt, Jr., who is with the Hous-ton Osteopathic Clinic states thateverything is coming along fineand that he has nothing to kickabout. He says that work is lin-ing up for the fall and that he islooking for more.

A man may go usefully abouthis work minus a leg, an arm,an eye, his tonsils, appendix,gall bladder, one kidney, part ofhis lungs and brain and as asmuch as twelve feet of his in-testines, according to a well-known metropolitan surgeon. Weare aware of this, but what wewould like to know is, how far adoctor can get along withoutmoney-and what he should usefor money when none comes in?

ObstetricsA physician in general practice

cannot afford to turn over hisobstetrical work to a rival. Thismust be the opinion of a largeper cent of our profession formore inquiries are coming in allthe time as to the possibility oftaking special work along thisline. Still College is not makingany special effort to establish aP. G. clinic along this line. Withthe growth and development ofthe college this department un-der the exceptionally able man-agement of Dr. Robert Bach-man has kept apace with theneeds of the student and the ob-jective of the college, that is, thecomplete clinical training of thestudent, is fully realized in thisdepartment.

'his last year we have had anaverage of four deliveries pergraduate. This means that eachstudent has been out on morethan four cases mentioned. Hispreliminary training up to thepoint where he is permitted tomake the delivery necessitateshis presence acting in a minorcapacity, advancing with each at-tendance until he is thoroughlyiamiliar with the routine o.ut-lined in this work. When hereaches that part of his trainingthat he must make the deliveryhe is not nervous. He knowswhat has been done and what isto be done and he is thoroughlyat ease. It is because of this sys-teim that the students of StillCollege leave the institution withthat feeling of confidence sojustly earned by their opportun-ities in this and other clinicaldepartments.

Let me look over the work ofthe department just a little. Onehundred seven boys and seventy-two girls have been brought intothe world this last year by thestudents of Still College. Ofthese eight, or four pair, weretwins. No mothers died. Nomothers were infected. Therewere no cases of eclampsia.There were no cases of post-partem paralysis. Fifty-two percent of the cases had been de-livered in the clinic during thelast three years. This is a not-able feature of our work alongthis line. We could not hope toplease everybody all the time.But since the department is con-ducted with the idea of effi-ciency foremost it is just thatfeature that holds the attentionof the patients and makes themrealize the service they are re-ceiving. They come back andthey bring a friend.

Nine inevitable abortions havebeen taken care of in the clinic.The causes incident to these havebeen listed as flu, injury due tca fall, sprain or being struck bya fond husband, and one casebrought on by shock upon learn-ing of the death of her motherThere were two stillbirths re-corded and three died soon aftefbirth.

Considering the environmentof most of the cases it is re-markable that there are no moreabnormalities develop in theprocess of labor. Our recordsshow one Caesarian, two instru-

mental deliveries, four breechpresentations and two cases onwhich a podalic was performed.

These records are accuratelykept and have been for years,even before the state requiredthe registration of such cases.Not long ago a boy eighteenyears of age and his father cameto the office to secure a copy oiour record of his birth whiciwas necessary in some businesstransaction. We were able togive him the date, time of day,address, student making deliveryand students attending the caseas assistants.

Surely you want the studentsyou are sending to colleges ofOsteopathy to have a trainingsuch as this.

One Way TrafficThere is only one road to the

town of "Success,"The name of the road is

work."It has room for only honest

guests,Traffic's blocked to those that

shirk.

The road is open all hours of theday,

It heeds neither timeSnor date,And now is the time to start on

your way,For tomorrow will be too late.

Nearly all of the way is an up-hill road;

It will seem like a tough oldfight,

But once on your way just bearup your load

And keep going with all yourmight.

You will pass through manytowns each day,

Such as Failure, Gloom andDespair;

At each of these stations justkeep on your way,

For "Work" does not tarrythere.

After you have entered the townof "Success,"

Though your load may havebeen hard to bear,

Once inside you will find bothcomfort and rest,

Just be thankful you startedfor there.

Osteopathy Without Limiitation

Too Much Work"Worked Five Jobs while at

College, Kentucky LegislatorDies."

"Benjamin Franklin wouldhave shaken his head gravelyand remarked that the youngman probably paid too much forhis whistle.

"To wait on table, tend fur-nace, sell papers, jerk sodas andat the same time study toward acollege degree is a life that manyAmericans will defend, for per-verse reasons, as ambitious anddeserving of credit. But quitebluntly it is a life both viciousand absurd, a life quite un-worthy of a free man's interestor devotion. Even TheodoreRoosevelt, most strenuous ofmodern livers, inveighed againstthe folly of trying to work one'sway through college. His adviceto the intellectually ambitiousyoung man was: 'Take a jobfor a couple of years, saveenough money to allow you tostudy leisurely until your fundsare gone, then repeat the pro-cess.' And until every'impecun-ious student can get a fat schol-arship, Roosevelt's counsel willbe the soundest advice a youngman can heed.

"College authorities know thatthe part-time student is a poorrisk, and that a high per cent ofundergraduate mediocrity andfailure is due directly to thestrain and worry of budgetarydifficulties. Why not put a lit-tle frankness into the college en-trance questionnaire by asking,'Have you enough money tocarry you through the rigors ofone academic year? No? Haveyou any money at all? No?Then go to work and get some.We shall honor your persistenceand good faith when you comeback with enough money to sup-port yourself decently for onecollege year.'

"Any one who has drudgedthrough college for his boardand room knows that under suchconditions, life, study, food,youth and happiness are sorrymyths. One job is enough forany man; two means a thinning-out somewhere; three meansslavery, and as the young Ken-tucky legislator shows us, fivecan result in death."

Dawgone a man that can'tlook you in the eye when you aretalking to him.

Time OutCall a halt in your daily work

and look over the young life ofyour community, those that comeinto your office and those thatyou meet outside.

Did you ever suggest the studyof Osteopathy?-Well, just men-tion it to them and notice theirinterest. That is your cue. Ifthey are interested in the slight-est degree, stir their interest andtell them about the future ofOsteopathy. If you haven't the"dope" to give them write to usor send in their name and wewill send the necessary informa-tion.

It won't be long now until youwill be going to the NationalConvention in Kirksville andthere you will learn a lot aboutthe modern progress of Osteo-pathy. Find out why Osteopathyis gaining strength with peoplefrom all walks of life. Get anew vision of Osteopathy, lookinto the future and after theConvention comes to an end gohome and talk Osteopathy.

"That Something"(Continued From Last Issue)Then I saw myself start, my

eyes opened and I dreamed thatI saw.

"What waked me?" I asked inmy dream.

"You waked yourself," ans-wered a voice nearby.

I turned about, but no onewas near.

"Who are you?" I asked."I am 'That Something,'"

came the reply."But where are you?""I am hidden in your soul."For some moments I thought

over what was said.* "How," I stammered then,

"how did you get there?""I was born there.""Why have I not known you

were there before?""No man knows it," answered

the voice, "until he awakes.""No man?" I asked. "Are you

in other men's souls as well?""There is 'that something' in

every man's soul, which canmove the mountains or dry theseas."

"Then you must be Faith.""Yes," came the answer, "I

am Faith, but I am more thanFaith. I am that which makesmen face the fires of hell andwin."

"Then," said I, "you must beConfidence as well."

"I am more than Confidence.I am that which makes the bab-bling brooks lift worlds upontheir wavelets."

"You are Power," I cried."I am more than Power,"

answered the voice. "I am thatwhich makes the wretched fail-ure lift up himself and rule theworld."

"You are Ambitiop. I knowyou now," I cried.

"Yes," answered the voice, "Iam all you say, Faith, Confi-dence, Power, Ambition andmore. For greater than all is'That Something." I am thatwhich every man must find in his

The Round-up"The Round-up" is right. Us

cow people have just ended thegreatest roundup that Texas hasever knowed. I have been astby your editor to give you all alittle dope on it "outside stuff"as he specified. Well for mypart it will be all outside stuff,because tickets were so hard toget, an 'even with tickets it waspretty hard to get inside.

As you all know the Demo-crats (an old Southern family ofthe first or second water) ropedand branded Al Smith an' Sen.Robinson of Arkansas, for firstan' second steers, to head theherd. Some of the boys throweda rope on Jim Reed, but theycouldn't run an iron on him.

We heard a lot of men talkingabout their favorite sons, I neverknowed before that one mancould have so many fathers.

The politest cussin' I everheard was done by Claude Bow-ers, when he talked about theRepublicans. I heard him overthe radio and at first I thoughthe was talkin' about the BlackPlague, until he mentioned Ham-ilton, the man cigars are namedfor.

The Houston police force wasenlarged even more than it waswhen I first came to town.

The downtown streets was allmarked off for "No Parking" andit gave the new cops somethingto do teaching people how toread. Some streets was marked"One Way" and it was alwaysmy luck to get on one headedthe wrong way from where Iwanted to go.

The only wet thing about thisconvention was the first day,when we had a good shower.

Will Rogers was here, with afaceful of chewing gum. Willshowed some of the local boyshow to play polo. He done agood job of it too.

There was also a Wild WestRodeo in town at the same time,and them cowboys acted as if thebovine quadrupeds were Republi-cans, the way they clammedthem around the arena.

"That Something"

(Continued from page 3)soul, or else he will be but aclutterer of the earth on whichhe lives."

"But how can a man findyou?"

"Even as you are finding menow," came the answer. "Firstyou must awake, then seek, andwhen you have found, you mustlearn to control "

"Control what?" I asked, con-fused.

"THAT SOMETHING," c a m ethe reply. "Borrow it from yoursoul and baptize your life withit. Anoint your eyes, that youmay see; anoint your ears, thatyou may hear; anoint your heart,that you may BE!"

"But tell me," I cried, fran-tically, for the voice was trailingoff to almost nothing, "how canit do this? How? How?"

"This is the secret," came thevoice to me as the whisper of agentle breeze of springtime, "thetalisman of success, which writeupon your memory in letters offire."

"Yes! Yes! What is the talis-man ?"

"These words, I WILL!"And then I awoke with a start.A man was shaking me

roughly."Clean out of here," he was

saying. "We ain't running nofree rooming house for bums. Ifyou want to sleep, take a sleeper,but get out of here."

"I will," I answered unthink-ingly, as I turned toward thedoor of the place.

"I WILL."My words brought the dream

back to me vividly.I stood in the doorway, peer-

ing out into the rain.A boy with a dozen bundles

stopped near me to shift his load."I'll help you son," I said, and

I laughed gaily as I took halfhis load and started with himdown the street.

"Gee, mister," he said, "dat'spretty square of you, all right.How far are you going thisway?"

"Where are you taking thesethings?" I asked.

He told me."Why that's right where I'm

going," I answered, in mock sur-prise. And so we hurried on ourway.

It was then the clouds over-head began to break.

Before we had gone half way,the sun peeped out, and the boyby my side laughed with the puredelight of it.

"By Golly, mister, she's goingto be some handsomer day to-morrow, ain't it?"

"I WILL," I answeredabsently.

He looked up at me, started tcask a question, thought better ofit, and giving me another queerlook, trudged on in silence.

When he had delivered hispackages, he turned toward thethoroughfare, and as I followedhe asked me, with the innocentimpertinance of boyhood:

"Say, mister, where do youwork?"

"Why. I'm working for you

right now. It's good to work,don't you think?"

"But ain't you got no steadyjob?"

"Yes," I answered firmly, "IWILL."

Again he cast at me his queerlook, and quickened his pace.

We went together to the storeat which he worked. It was thelargest in the city. We hurriedthrough a doorway at the rear,and I found myself in a largeroom.

A man stepped up to me andasked me what I wanted.

"I have come here to work.""W h a t department?" he

asked. "Who sent you?"There were many men in there

packing boxes.Before I could answer his

question someone called him, andhe hurried away.

I took off my coat and hungit on a nail near where the othermen had hung theirs.

I started to work, followingthe example of those near me.

A half hour later, the manwho first accosted me, passed.

"Oh," he said, as he pausedbehind me, "so they put you atit while I was gone, did they?"

"I'm doing my best, sir," Ianswered, as I drove a nail homewith a bang.

And so I worked until sixo'clock.

And the sun was very brightinside.

When the six o'clock bellrang, the men began filing by theclock.

"Didn't they give you a num-ber?"

"No."Then I told him my name, he

gave me a number and I punchedout.

The boy was waiting for me atthe door.

"How'd you get the job?" heasked curiously.

"Why, that was secured forme before I showed up there," Ianswered.

"Who got it for you?" heasked curiously.

"That Something," was my an-swer.

"Aw," he answered, "quit yourstringing me. How'd you geton? I seen a dozen men tryingto get in on that work thismorning, and they was all turneddown."

"But," I explained with asmile, "they had never found"THAT SOMETHING"

He again favored me with aqueer look.

"Say, where do you live?" heasked finally.

"I am going to find a placenow," I answered.

"Well, say," he cried, "mymaw keeps a boarding house,and it's all right, too. Whydon't you came to my place?"

There was but one otherboarder.

He was a professor of a num-ber of OLOGY branches at anearby denominational college.

Athletic ClinicsOne day last week one of our

best known coaches in DesMoines stopped the writer on thestreet and leaned him up againstthe corner of a building andtalked to him for nearly an hour.Ordinarily we do not like to beheld up for that length of timewhen we are on our way to doa little shopping, but cases likethis are gratifying. We could lis-ten for more than an hour to thiscoach and as far as that is con-cerned to the others who for thelast several years have had theadvantage of our clinic in thecare of the boys in the athleticdepartments of our public schoolsystem. Well, what did he talkabout?

Suppose you were sold on asubject that related closely toyour own specialty, so closely infact that your success dependedto a great extent on the co-opera-tion you could secure with thespecialists in that subject. Thatis the gist of the whole thing.Here is a man who is not only acoach but a research man in hisline. He is after that thing whatever it is that will help him inhis work and to good part of it isthat he gives credit where creditbelongs. Last year we kept twoor more of our Seniors workingwith this coach throughout hisfootball, basketball and trackseason and it took him the hourto tell us about the good workthe boys had done and how heappreciated it. He is going tostart his football work a littleearlier this next season and wasspeaking ahead for assistants inhis department.

This type of clinical work hasgrown greatly in the last severalyears so that at the present timewe have had to extend theamount of work allowed eachsenior student. We feel that itis mutually beneficial. We aregaining a prestige that otherwisecould not be secured. We areeducating the high school boyand girl along Osteopathic lines.Through this medium we arereaching the fathers and mothersof these same boys and girls.Last but not least we are givingour students a type of clinicalwork that will enable them tostep up to the coach of the highschool where they locate and talkto him convincingly. Our stu-dents can talk shop with thesemen. They know the languageof the gym and they are capableof handling the injuries that arebound to occur in this work.Best of all they can go to acoach and guarantee results.

Every senior graduating fromStill College this last year had atleast 150 hours work in thehandling of athletes.

In addition to the regularwork being done in the schoolsand colleges of our city we wereasked to send a squad of trainedmen out to the Drake Relays totake care of visiting teams. Thisyear we won over one of the bestknown coaches in track work. Hehas promised us a letter for pub-lication. Really we do not needit but it will be a fine thing tohave a sincere testimonial of the

Still College Clinic3 i HE LAST TWO YEARS of the student's training is intensively filled

with practical work. In order for this to be truly practical, eachstudent must put in a minimum number of treatments and hours

in actual attendance on cases. Many of these are in homes and are typical

of the general practice the physician meets outside his office. The pro-

portion of office to outside work is shown by the relative number in the

tabulation below.

Still College claims the most complete and efficient Obstetrical Clinicof any of our colleges. This service is extending each year. The care of

athletes is getting to be a real specialty, and eleven institutions in our cityavail themselves of this branch of our work. Our Osteopathic Hospital

offers the student contact with this important phase of Osteopathy:

Historical SketchBY DR. ELLA STILL

N THE SUMMER OF 1898 there come to Des Moines a group of

people who were imbued with the desire to spread the gospel

of Osteopathy and to choose for that purpose a place which should

afford all the advantages necessary. They had decided that two

of the essential things could easily be obtained in Des Moines-

unlimited clinical material and employment for those who wished to work

in 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 took

possession of the structure which now houses the Des Moine,s 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, who

were well known in the Osteopathic world, and thus was formed a facultywhich ranked among the best. The College was named the Dr. S. S. Still

College of Osteopathy. The only one to bear the name of STILL. The

growth 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 Dip-

lomats. 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 were

associated 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.

With the growth of the city and college, it was plain to be seen, a

number of years ago, that a new location must be secured. With this in

view, the college purchased a suitable tract some distance out on Sixth

Avenue. With a fine college building in mind, plans were made to move as

soon as the building could be completed. Consideration for the two main

factors in the development of the college changed the original plans, and

this year the trustees announce the acquisition of a building adequate in

every respect, and ideal for clinic and convenience. This is indeed what

we have been looking forward to for many years. It is a new beginning

for Still College.

The good work started in 1898 is still being carried on in the Des

Moines 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.

I'l The New Still College B building

HE DES MOINES STILL COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY is occupyinga new home. This is something we, as a group, have looked for-ward to for some time. O-ur new site and building is a great prideto us, and it has come to us at a time when most needed. Our old

i location on Locust Street has been over run for some time by theautomobile industry, the disturbing noises from which have at times causeda temporary suspension of lecture work. The new home is away from thisnoise and on a wide and newly paved street. We are indeed happy andproud to announce the acquisition of this fine building, which fulfils a long-felt want and meets our needs so, well in every respect. When you are inthe city we want you to visit us. Seeing is believing.

LOCATION: 720-722 Sixth Avenue. This is on the west side of themain north and south highway thru the city. Across the street to the eastis the new Consistory. Grand Avenue, the main east and west highway, isthree blocks south. The site is convenient for patients and for the studentbody, and yet away from the noise of the business district.

STRUCTURE: Steel and concrete forms the basis in the construction ofthe building, making it fireproof thruout. It is faced with white enamelbrick, five stories in height and constructed with the idea that two morefloors may be added. Alleys are found on three sides, insuring adequatelight and ventilation. 28,000 square feet of floor space is available, and asplans show, has been easily divided for our convenience.

OT ONLY DO THE STUDE.!NTS of the D)es Moines Still College ofOsteopathy enjoy the advantages of an extensive Osteopathic clinficbut in addition, they have offered to them every courtesy of theDes Moines General Hospital, which is under strict Osteopathicmanagement. Dr. J. P. Schwartz, president of the hospital and

surgeon-in-chief, also acts in the capacity of Dean of the College. Dr. t. J.Marshall, secretary of the hospital, is instructor, and at the head of the Eye,Ear, Nose and Throat department, Dr. B. L. Cash, of the hospital staff, isinstructor in X-Ray and Electro-Therapy. The two institutions are notoperating under the same charter, but there is co-operation in each depart-ment, which makes for the mutual benefit of all.

Extensive plans are under way for the erection of a new and strictlymodern building for the hospital which will replace the present structure.With the new college building a reality and prospects for a new hospital,the profession can be truly proud to point to Des Moines as a greaterOsteopathic Center.

The Des le8 Moine~s Genersal

Organizations

TUDENTS OF OSTEOPATHY have for many years supported several

organizations that are national in scope. Those represented at Still

College are Iota Tau Sigma, Phi Sigma Gamma, Atlas Clhb, Delta

Omega and Axis Club. The official honorary fraternity of the pro-

fession, the Sigma Sigma Phi, has established its Beta Chapter in

our college. The Sigma Chi Omega and several other organizations are local

but each fulfill a need in the activities of the student body.

Recently we have been honored by the installation of the Still Square

of the Square and Compass Fraternity, an affiliated organization of the sev-

eral Masonic fraternities. Still College is the only Ostcopathic College

having a chapter in this organization.

Thru the activity of these organizations, the social life of the college is

maintained. Numerous parties, dances and other events fill the calendar

thruout the year and assures the student adequate recourse from academicstaleness.

AthleticsUTTON, STILL AND SUCCESS are linked

together during the greater part of theyear. Coach Sutton is well known for

his work with the boys and has, even under ad-verse conditions, brought out teams that weresuccessful.

This next season in football promises to beone that will attract more than the ordinaryattention. The schedule is full and the materialis at hand. Our past basketball season speaksfor itself, fourteen games won out of twentyplayed.

The trustees of the college are fully awareof the effort the average student has to make tokeep up his work in the college and play foot-ball or basketball. In consequence, our athletesare allowed a credit that fully compensates themfor the time spent in this work.

Student ActivitiesS IN OTHER INSTITUTIONS of a like nature, student activities are

not limited to those related particularly to the fraternities. TheSigma Sigma Phi and Pan-Helenic Council, whose memberships are

made up of representatives of all organizations, initiate many functionswhere the entire student body takes part. In season, golf, tennis and base-ball tournaments are in progress and the winners are rewarded with suitabletrophies. The band and orchestra furnish an outlet for talent of that type,and the assembly held each Friday morning, brings out a vast amount ofstudent entertainment.

An important event at the graduation of each class i,s the presentationof the honor meldals furnished by the college by the Si Sia Sigma Phi. Aspecial icommittee selects from each class one who has proved himself mostsatisfactory in his Osteopathic work, and another who has shown particularirnterest in school activities. To each of these, a gold medal is awarded; onefor Proficiency in Osteopathy and the other for Exceptional Service.

Des Moines has a number of conveniently located parks and recreationgorounds, and it is not unusual for classes or other groups to gather at theseparks for breakfasts or picnics. Thru its theatres, the city offers the best inall types of entertainment, and theatre parties among the various groups

\ are quite icommon.

In Recognition of the Achievements of the

FOUNDER OF OSTEOPATHY

DR. A. T. STILLTILE ROYAL UNION LIFE INSURANCE Co. of Des Moines, appreciates his

contribution to science, and extends its best wishes to thosewho are following in his footsteps.

ACH YEAR that rolls by Osteopaths everywhereare continuing to build to the memory of the"Old Doctor," and if he were living today he

would be the most ardent and enthusiastic backer ofthe Endowment Fund being created for the DesMoines Still College. Dr. Still would be quick tocatch the vision of what this far-reaching Programwould mean to the General Profession and Science ofOsteopathy as a whole.

One of the giant Companies of the West, THEROYAL, UNION LIFE, is pioneering and backing thisnew idea. The plan is new, is perpetual, is original,is equitable, is practical, is uniform, unique and with-in the reach of all those interested in the bettermentof Osteopathy. i

It is a "double duty" financial investment where-by you may contribute towards this Endowment andyet receive property, the value of which is muchmore than your cash deposits, and the insurance fea-ture completes your contribution in case of your

premature death" and also pays your estate fivehundred per cent more than is paid to the Endow-ment.

The simple method by which these contractsare placed is a new departure in underwriting. Thetransaction is all handled by mail. There is no redtape; no chance of loss; no time-wasting interviews;no medical examination. The Company recognizesthe Osteopathic Profession by allowing Osteopaths tomake examinations when they are deemed necessary.

Our Mr. E. J. Strong will see you this year inKirksville. Your visit to our home office in DesMoines in 1929, is anticipated with pleasure.

A.O.A.-1929-DES MOINESAnnual Convention of

the 0. & 0. L.The O. & O. L. Society held

its annual convention the weekprior to the A. O. A. convention.About 200 doctors were present,although these were not all ear,nose and throat specialists.There are a lot of men and wo-men in our profession who arenot specializing but who are in-terested and are doing somenose and throat work and theyare invited to hear the papersand discussions and to attendthe clinics. There were abouttwelve of our specialists examin-ing and operating. The clinicswere so large that many of thedoctors had to operate every dayduring the week of the A. O. A.convention.

Dr. Edwards, the programchairman, arranged a, splendidprogram and everyone who at-tended said that it was one ofthe best programs that they hadever listened to. Eighty-five at-tended the banquet which washeld Friday night at the Trav-elers Hotel. Dr. T. J. Ruddyserved as toastmaster and youcan guess that it was some ban-quet. Everyone was impressedwith the new plans of not allow-ing anyone on the program, toread their papers. They wereonly allowed to talk on the sub-ject of the paper that they hadprepared.

Dr. C. C. Reid of Denver isthe program chairman for the1929 convention so prepare nowto be held in Des Moines nextyear and hear this splendid pro-gram and see the clinics.

Clark Elected President

Dr. D. L. Clark of Denver,Colo., was elected president ofthe American Osteopathic Asso-ciation at the thirty-second an-nual convention held at Kirks-ville. Dr. John A. McDonald ofBoston, Mass., first vice-presi-dent; Dr. Arthur Allen of Minne-apolis, Minn, Dr. Phillip Russellof Fort Worth, Texas, and Dr.Ray B. Gilmour of Sioux City, aformer president, were namedtrustees.

Most people think of it interms of getting, but success be-gins in terms of giving.-HenryFord.

The KirksvilleConvention

The Kirksville convention wasa success. Those attending werenot pleased 100 per cent butthose of us who attend conven-tions and have to do with themrealize that if 75 per cent of thecustomers are pleased we havedone a good week's work.

We might criticize the ar-rangements of the program. Ifwe did it would be the same oldthing that has been said foryears. There was too muchgoing on during the hours allot-ted to papers and discussions.Each year we have been tryingto benefit by the mistakes madein the past. It is to be hopedthat at this next convention to beheld in our city that there willbe some plan used that will doaway with the many conflictsalong this line. There is so muchto be done in the week that thisis a big job in itself.

The one thing that we canhighly commend was the spirit ofhospitality and good fellowshipshown by the people of Kirks-ville and Macon. It is true thatthere were many who were in-convenienced. We know of sev-eral cases where the individualwent out and found more con-venient and livable accommoda-tions. For the most part weheard little of this. Yes it washot. But what else would youexpect in August in practicallyevery part of our country. Wethink that the convention shouldbe held about the middle ofJune. Many object to that timeand say to have it in July andsome claim that August is thebest time on account of so manyvacations being taken then.Whenever it is held it will notplease all.

As a convention, consideringthe scientific worth of the meet-ing we would say that othershave surpassed it. As a reunionwe doubt if there will ever beanother such as this. The pro-gram was filled with memorialand commemorative addresses.It was an opportunity to showour respect for and allegiance tothose things that we associatewith our founder. To fail to bea part of these is indicative of asad lacking in an importantmental attitude towards ourscience. Sentiment is not an es-sential in business. It is a flavor-

We went to Kirksville withthe determination that the nextannual meeting of the A. O. A.would be held in Des Moines.After four years of concerted ef-fort this has been decided in ourfavor.

We went to Kirksville deter-mined to make a showing atevery opportunity. Iowa, underthe leadership of Dr. Harry Mar-shall attracted favorable atten-tion and won the prize for thelargest delegation in the parade.Harryus ability has been sus-pected in years past but it hasbeen proved now to the satisfac-tion of all.

Iowa went to Kirksville withspeakers of know worth. Dr. C.W. Johnson, president of the col-lege; Dr. Robert Bachman, ex-pert obstetrician; Dr. J. P.Schwartz, surgeon; Dr. HarryMarshall, eye, ear, nose andthroat specialist; Dr. Ray Gil-more, past president of the A. O.A.; Dr. H. V. Halladay of spinefame; Dr. W. C. Chappell, Dr.Rolla Hook and others left theirhearers deeply impressed withthe sincerity of these workers inour profession.

We went to Kirksville hopingto secure a president in sym-pathy with Iowa's plea for the1929 convention. We were de-lighted in the election of D. L.Clark of Denver. Dr. Clark, toyou we pledge our undivided sup-port so that when the conven-tion closes next year in DesMoines the profession will saythis has been our best year.

We went to Kirksville with thehopes that the program chair-man would be one with whomwe could co-operate. Chet, weare for you and we want to helpmake this meeting as near per-fect as such a thing can be.

We are happy and we have re-turned home with a determina-tion to makeo viou eauallv so.

Des Moines has been chosenas the 1929 convention city bythe American Osteopathic Asso-ciation. The vote to hold thenext meeting in Des Moines wasunanimous and the date of theconvention will be set later.

The decision to hold the con-vention came about after manyyears of work on the part ofthose interested in Des MoinesStill College and the city of DesMoines as a convention city. Wecannot say too much for Dr. H.V. Halladay of the faculty andGeo. Hamilton of the Des MoinesChamber of Commerce conven-tion bureau for their untiringefforts in working for the con-vention for this city.

Plans are all ready for theconvention and those that are incharge assures us that any con-vention in the past or any in thefuture will be judged by the onethat will be held in this city in1929.

As ceaseless as has been theefforts of those interested in se-curing the convention for DesMoines-so their activities willnot end until that day and thathour when the 1929 conventionhas been brought to a most suc-cessful close.

A Great ConstructiveConvention in- 1929

By G. E. HAMILTONSecretary Convention BureauThe action of the house of

delegates in selecting Des Moinesfor the 1929 Annual Conventionof the American Osteopathic As-sociation by unanimous vote, isindeed most pleasing and a ful-fillment, on the part of the As-sociation, of the recognition ofthe claims of Iowa, and its cap-ital city for this honor, expressedat the Denver convention in1927.

The large number of invita-tions that were extended by rep-resentative cities of the nationfor the 1930 convention is evi-dence of the reputation that A.O. A. has established.

Now that this outstandingconvention has been secured it isup to every practitioner in Iowato assume an active interest anda personal responsibility of mak-ing the event here in 1929 thelargest attended and the mostconstructive in the history of theassociation.

Des Moines is prepared tomeet every requirement of theNational Convention in a man-ner equalled by few cities. Iowawill be a garden of beauty inconvention time and will affordthe delegates and visitors an op-portunity of personal contactwith the great state that pro-duces one-tenth of the foodstuffs of the nation to visualizeits resources and attractions.

The convention bureau urgesevery member of the professionto BEGIN NOW to make use ofevery opportunity that will con-tribute in producing a recordbreaking attendance.

Chairman ofArrangements

As chairman of the arrange-ments committee for bringingthe A. O. A. Convention to DesMoines in 1929, I want to takethis opportunity to thank theprofession for accepting our in-vitation to hold the national A.O. A. convention in Des Moinesnext year. At the same time thesame committee in behalf of theprofession of Iowa, wants to ex-tend to you an invitation to bewith us in 1929. We assure youthat you will be given hospitalitythat you will not forget and wewill do everything in our powerto make you comfortable and en-joy every minute of your staywith us.-(Dr. Harry Marshall.)

Internship

Dr. Cecil M. Jones of the Jan-uary class of 1928 stopped tovisit the school on his way toCalifornia. He accepted an in-ternship at the Los AngelesOsteopathic Hospital and was on

L his way to report for duty. Hespent some time in Ohio withhis parents during the summer.

Great stuff "Deke" and goodluck on your trip. Let us knowabout the hospital and yourwork-yes and the wife.

Patient, (after having takentreatment)-"Doctor, how muchdo you charge?"

Doctor-"I charge nothing.Three dollars please."

The doctor found that thegrocery boy's ear, which hadbeen paining him, was full ofwater. "How did that happen,"he asked. "Have you beenswimming?" "No," replied theboy. "Been eating watermelon."-Progressive Grocer.

Mashee-"I don't know youfrom Adam."

Masher-"You ought to, I'mdressed different."

Hotel Clerk-"Have you a res-ervation?"

Lady Traveler-"Do I looklike an Indian?"

Visitors were present."Daddy, may I have a dime?"

asked little Georgie.Dad obliged, with a smile."This time you won't make me

give it back after the company'sgone, will you daddy?" was lit-tle Georgie's loud remark.-Legion Monthly.

The young son was sick andthe doctor was called. He toldthe boy he must go to the hos-pital.

Boy: "Oh, doctor, I don't wantto go to a hospital."

Doctor: "Why, a hospital's afine place - clean and con-venient."

Boy: "But, doctor, I don'twant to go there. I don't wanta baby. I want a pup."

One balmy night recently abeautiful young girl sat on thesands at the bathing beach. Herbashful swain was by her side.She cuddled close to him andlaid her head on his stalwartshoulder, but it brought no re-sult, except that he stealthilykissed her hair, of which she wasunaware. She sighed wistfully,and looking up at him with soul-ful eyes whispered, in a voicehusky with emotion, "Kiss me."

"I can't," he managed to artic-ulate, "some sand got into mymouth."

"Then swallow it, boy, swal-low it," she snapped. "If everanybody needed sand you cer-tainly are the guy."

Osteopathy Without Limitation

Why Osteopathy?

It is a youthful profession,growing rapidly, untrammeledby tradition, free to seek thetruth wherever the truth may befound; under no obligation toconform to beliefs and practiceswhose only sanction is age andrepetition.

The science and practice ofosteopathy is the first consid-able departure from the age-old,hackneyed approach to the prob-lem of the cause, prevention,and cure of disease. This alonewould assure to it the respectfulattention of future historians.To have given a new channel toany considerable body of thoughtis an achievement to the creditof only a few of the world'sgreat. Hence the strong hold ofosteopathy generally, upon theesteem and regard of scientists.

But here is a growing scienceand an enlarging practice. It isa constant challenge to the con-structive and creative to investi-gate and delve of its truths, andfind better ways of applyingthem to the relief of human suf-fering and the amelioration anderadication of disease.

And surely no young mandesirous of representing his age,given the choice between blindlyaccepting and weakly submittingto the conventional thought andaction imposed by the past, tak-ing the world as he finds it, anddeliberately setting to work tomake the thought and action ofhis day conform to the exigen-cies of reality to the new knowl-edge and understanding andneeds - would for a momenthesitate where to cast his lot.Men lead others follow.

And what young man in questof a career, having the wholeworld before him would not wanthis life to count mightily. It ismayhap in dilusionment thatmen come ultimately to see thatthere are but two things whichfinally we get out of life-theties of human love and friend-ship on the one hand and on theother the contributions we indi-vidually succeed in making tcthe actual progress of the humanfamily. These are the thingsmen live by.

The young man who takes urosteopathy will do so with thEconscious knowledge that he willtake part in the formative pro-cess out of which a greaiscientific, and humanely helpfulprofession shall grow as thEyears pass by.

The KirksvilleConvention

(Continued from page 1)

ing. Things taste better, thememory lingers, if we halt andgive thought to those who havecut the path and led the wayfor our progress.

The one outstanding featureof the week in the way of enter-tainment was the trip to theStill-Hildreth Sanitorium. Fromthe time we left our car until westarted it on the homeward tripwe saw exidence of co-operation,unity, unselfishness, hospitality,generosity, organization and allthose things that have to be inorder that a small communitymay entertain a large crowd incomfort and with dispatch. Wehad ample parking facilitiesnearby. We had room at thesanitorium grounds to sit, run,swim or do almost anything theheart desired. When it cametime to eat we had a mostgenerous barbecue lunch toppedwith ice cream and real homemade cake. Dancing was pro-vided in the evening at twoplaces and in spite of the heatboth were filled to capacity un-til a late hour. The ladies ofMacon deserve a word of high-est praise. It was not the ladiesof the Methodist church nor theMonday Bridge club but thewhole town working as one toplease the visitors. And theypleased them. We realize ofcourse that Dr. Hildreth was thepower in the lead but his ideasand efforts would have fallenflat without the unselfish effortsand perfect organization of thecommunity. We salute Macon.

We enjoyed the conventionthoroughly.

Clinics

Those who have remained atthe school during the summermonths and attended the clin-ice have been repaid many times.The clinics during June andJuly of this year have beenlarger than at any time duringthe history of the school. Thevariety of the cases that cameto the school have been verygratifying and has providedthose who remained with someunusual experience.

Many times during the sum-mer it was found necessary toask the patient to return thenext day as the time alloted wasinsufficient to examine all. Thisgives to the student, and thoseinterested in Des Moines StillCollege, ample proof that theclinics of D. M. S. C. 0. are thelargest of any of the Osteopathicschools.

The value of this experiencecannot be over emphasized foronce again we realize the factthat the students of D. M. S.C. O. go out into practice witha vast amount of actual experi-ence, and that they will meetthe same type of cases in the of-fice in practice. Such practicalwork is valueless.

Word From the Dean

It is hard to realize that aftermany attempts to secure the na-tional meeting for Des Moinesthat our hopes are finally fulfill-ed. This is something that wehave been anticipating for years (and while we have been pre-pared in the past, each year addsto our confidence in our abilityto give the profession what itwants.

We know that this opportun-ity will not come to Des Moinesagain for many years unless themeeting is of the type that callsfo ran encore. This is our ob-jective.

Osteopathy is well thought ofin the state of Iowa and especially so in the City of Des Moines.Even without the facilities of-fered through the college andhospital, Des Moines alone couldtake care of your needs in a sat-isfactory way. This will be yourfirst official visit to the state ofIowa. You will want to return.

The college has recently ac-quired a new building and is pre-pared as never before to assistin making your stay a success.The Des Moines General Hos-pital offers you an Osteopathicinstitution with every conveni-ence and need for surgical work.Our extensive clinic will beopened to you. The quantity andvariety of cases that you will beable to see will convince youthat we are performing a realservice in this community.

It is early to announce defi-nite plans, but we can assureyou now that your convention inthis city will be practical anddemonstrative.

We feel highly honored bythis decision of the associationand in the discharge of the obli-gation will sincerely work tomake it your most successfulmeeting.

J. P. SCHWARTZ, D. O.Des Moines General Hospital.

Iowa Wins AttendancePrize

I o w a Osteopaths swarmeddown on Kirksville and carriedoff the coveted honor of firstprize for having the largest at-tendance at the convention. Thisdelegation consisted of some ofthe most prominent men in thefield. Des Moines Still College isproud of the members of thefaculty who were speakers onthe program.

Upper Classmen

Plan on returning early for 0.B. and General Clinic for therewill be plenty for all to do withthe number of patients that arereporting daily.

"Jimmy" Shaeffer is lining upquite a few 0. B. patients andwill need someone to help himout. Those who are still herefound it necessary to do doubleduty very recently when therewere two cases in one night.

Word From PresidentJohnson

The decision of the AmericanOsteopathic Association to holdits next annual meeting in DesMoines is highly gratifying. Ourcity has been prepared for thisevent for many years. Our col-lege and hospital are functioningbetter than ever before and weare confident that we can givethe profession a convention thatwill be remembered for years.Des Moines will set a mark thatwill be followed in future con-ventions.

As president of the DesMoines Still College of Oste-opathy it gives me greatpleasure to offer every facilityof our college building andclinic. Every member of theBoard of Trustees and facultywill be at the service of the as-sociation and its members. Weknow what we have here in DesMoines. Very few of you realizethe important position we oc-cupy in the life of the city. Weknow that you will not be disap-pointed with your visit to thiscity.

To say that we are proud andhappy for this opportunity toserve you would be using a wellknown phrase. We are thesuperlative of all that.

We urge you to make yourplans early to attend. We wanta crowd here that their verypresence will overshadow thetall corn and everything elsethat has made this state famous.

Fraternally yours,C. W. JOHNSON, D. O.

President.

It Won't Be Long NowThe realization that the days

and weeks are rapidly bringingthe summer vacation to a closebrings us face to face with thefacts that in less than anothermonth school with start for an-other year. Some say "whymention it" while others areglad that it won't be long.

Many will return for theirfinal year and other will enterthe doors of D. M. S. C. 0. forthe first time. The Seniors re-turn to enter their final mile andthe Freshmen to enter a racethat will carry them far intolife's ways to chart unknownseas. Little do these new menknow how the four years aheadwill change their ideas and viewsof their chosen profession, yetwell do those who have clearedthe trails and gone before real-ize what it will mean. The other-students will return to carry ona work that has been well be-gun-to advance further in theknowledge and science of Oste-opathy.

Everything is rounding intoshape and those who have re-mained at school look forwardto seeing everyone and await togive them the glad hand of wel-come when they return.

Who says the soul of art isdead in an industrial age, whenevery other gas station is dolledup with whitewashed cobble-stones.

There isno present.T h e future

merges into thepast with a swiftness

that leaves no divid-.ing line. Things amust - -

be done now. To wait fortomorrow, to do that which

can be done now is to put a mort-gage on the future. Success comes

to those who know what to do and doit today. The only consideration that

should be given tomorrow is to plan for to-morrow. But today STUDY OSTEOPATHY !

House Cleaning

The passing of the summermonths have found manychanges taking place throughoutthe entire building. Mr. Thomp-son has been busy with thenumerous and varied work thatis always necessary around anyinstitution after the long winterand spring months. Starting onthe very top floor in the assem-bly room, the walls were cleanedand polished. The waiting roomand the office appear as if theyhad been completely refinishedand many have spoken of thisfact. After completing the en-^tire building it was- deid- ed thata wainscoating should be usedalong the stair wall and thehalls. This has been finished inan Olive Green and it vastly im-proves the appearance of thebuilding.

When the students return theywill find the rooms have beencompletely rearranged and thor-oughly cleaned. Mr. Thompsonis certainly to be commended onthe way he went about the workand upon the general appearanceof the building now.

Who's Who

Dr. Mark Herzfeld of Detroit,Mich., a graduate of the DesMoines Still College was appoint-ed to the Michigan State Boardof Examiners for a period of fiveyears.

Accept no substitute for workthere is nothing "just as

good."

O. B.Since the last issue of the Log

Book the O. B. department hashad their hands full taking careof the many calls that comefrom the various parts of thecity. As this issue goes to pressthere has been fifteen cases. Oneof the cases was a face presenta-tion which was handled in thevery efficient manner of all thecases that are delivered by thestudents.

The interesting part of all ofthe cases that are handled by theO. B. department is the praiseand satisfaction of the patientsafter delivery. -

McManus Tables Cleaned

Representatives from the Mc-manus Table Company of Kirks-ville were at D. M. S. C. 0. foralmost a week giving the tablesa complete overhauling andcleaning. There was no doubtthat the tables needed such agoing over and the work thatwas done has added greatly tothe appearance of the treatingrooms. It is planned in the nearfuture to cover the tables thatneed such attention. PercyWally has been placed in chargeof the tables to keep them inshape so that it will be but aminor job to place them in ex-cellent condition for the conven-tion in 1929.

Everything comes to him whcwaits, but to get it in time to beof any use to you, you have tcgo after it yourself.

Convention Preparations

The Iowa Osteopathic Associa-tion, host to the A. O. A. in 1929,has held its first official con-vention meeting. Dr. Ray Gil-more of Sioux City, former presi-

dent of the national association,presided. The association in the

state is indeed fortunate thisyear in having secured as its

leader a man who has had ex-perience and training along or-ganization lines. Dr. Gilmorehas already accomplished some-thing. The hub of an efficientorganization has been completedand you will soon see evidenceof the lines of radiation reach-ing into the various departmentsso that a complete and perfectmachine will be working for yourconvenience, instruction and en-tertainment at the next conven-tion.

The official executive commit-tee consists of Dr. R. B. Gil-more, president; Dr. Rolla Hook,vice-president; Dr. C. N. Stry-ker, secretary-treasurer, and Drs.Clow, Furnish and Kline, trus-tees. These men met Sunday,August 26th, and adopted plansand policies that will be carriedout during the year. The organ-ization plan called for the elec-tion of three Des Moines phy-sicians to be designated as alocal Executive Committee eachto act as chairman of a groupof activities and to become a partof the general executive commit-tee. Dr. H. J. Marshall waselected chairman of this groupwith the responsibility of organ-izing committees to handle trainreception, t-ra-nsportation -andautomobile service, decoration,entertainment, reunions, andgolf tournament.

issue. We await the return ofeveryone. We can say that thehouse is still upon the hill-highand dry.

The lawn has finally receiveda trim but it took some toughold swinging plus a few blisters.

To prevent a reoccurrence ofprevious years' experience thehouse has been thoroughly fumi-gated and now with a little workwill soon be in ship-shape forthe opening day of school. Westill need help.

Dr. Robert Ross has returnedto the house for a few days. Hehas been taking over a practicein Boone for the summer and re-ports some valuable experience.He has been looking over all theused cars in the city and laterexpects to leave for Elgin, Ill.,to visit his folks before definite-ly deciding where to locate.

Letters have been receivedfrom Gephart, Herrick and HarryKale. They all report a greatsummer and are now anxious tobe back.

last Friday. He said for a vaca-tion trip to the lakes???

Bro. Heinlen left Sunday tojoin Shaffer. We never expectto hear the last of the newBuick, suppose it's functioningperfectly.

Bro. Stone is suffering frompoison ivy as the result of aweek-end "fishing" trip.

A card was received from Bro."Tom" Clark who is spendinghis honeymoon up in the wildsof Minnesota. He reports thathe and the Mrs. are having agreat time. We feel for you,Tom, but can't reach.

according to the report of CoachFrank Sutton. There will beeleven of the regular lineup fromlast year, who will return to givetheir best for D. M. S. C. O. Twoof these men, Capt. D. N.Shaw, fullback, and Frank Dorn-bush, center, are three year men.Those of the regular squad oflast year are: James Shaffer andAllen Nelson, guards; Lee Lind-bloom and Donald Hughes, tack-les; Harold Davis and RalphLang, ends; Mikael Cronen andObie King, halfbacks. Thesemen will find it necessary to fightall the time and to be on theirtoes every minute when thereare such men from the squadavailable as Faus, fullback;Monger and Ward, guards, andSchwartzbaugh, end. Gill, quar-ter; Loftus, tackle, and Dye,halfback, are expected to be outand give a good account of them-selves.

It will be hard to replace themen lost last year by graduationin view of the fact that CoachSutton has scheduled ten of thetoughest games this year that hehas ever scheduled. The teamwill be light but we know fromlast year there will be plenty offight.

There no doubt will be somefinds in the freshman class andit looks like there will be plentyof weight according to lettersthat the coach receives regular-ly. Material that will add weightas well as power to the team isneeded and will strengthen theteam greatly, and aid materiallyin making for a great year forD. M. S. C. O.

The first practice is scheduledfor Monday afternoon, Aug. 10thand the coach is desirous of hav-ing all the men on the field andready for the first practice.Boost Coach Sutton, the teamand D. M. S. C. O.

Francis-Shideler

Of interest to the graduates ofD. M. S. C. O. is the marriage ofDr. Maisie Francis and W. Dur-ward Shideler which occurredFriday evening, Aug. 3, at 8:30o'clock. The ceremony was per-formed at the home of Rev. H.E. Hutchinson, pastor of GraceMethodist church at Morning-side, Sioux City, by Rev. A. J.Quirin, executive secretary of theMethodist hospital at Sioux City.

Mrs. Shideler is a graduate ofthe Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy. After completing hercourse she opened up an officein Storm Lake, where she buillup a large practice.

Their many friends join iiwishing them much happinessand success.

Moving PicturesThe pictures of practical Os-

teopathy that were shown at theA. O. A. Convention at Kirks-ville this year are being shownin connection with the educa-tional films at tie Register andTribune booth. This booth is inthe Educational Building, notfar from the College Booth, atthe Iowa State Fair. Those whosaw the pictures at Kirksvillewill have a better idea than thatconveyed by the article in theLog Book some time ago.

It is planned to add to thisfilm soon after school starts.Pictures of the football team,basketball team and variousother athletic teams and athleticactivities will be made. The vari-ous phases of school life asFreshmen-Sophomore activties,school parties, etc., will be film-ed, and later pictures of the vari-ous fraternity houses, and themen representing various activi-ties of fraternal life.

This will be used to advanceOsteopathy and to show studentlife at D. M. S. C. 0.

I. T. S. Welcomes A. 0. A.We too are pleased that the

A. O. A. has decided in favor ofDes Moines for the 1929 con-vention. We unhesitatingly saythat the convention decision tohold the 1929 convention in DesMoines meets with the heartiestapproval of every member ofIota Tau Sigma.

Our newly acquired house, ofwhich we are justly proud, willbe open to those of the profes-sion at all hours of the day. Weshall be more than happy to wel-come you to the convention andto help you in any way to enjoyyour visit here in 1929.

Branching Into Athletics

Many requests are constantlycoming to the Log Book in re-gard to the articles on Branch-ing into Athletics which werewritten by Dr. H. V. Halladay.Due to this fact that so manywant the back numbers sent tothem we are going to have themreprinted in the comin gissues.

When one reads of the inspir-ing work that is being done inKansas University along this lineit is an added incentive to themen in the field who are takingcare of athletes and athleticteams to carry Osteopathy far-ther into this field of work. Thestory shows to those interestedin this work what Osteopathywill do for the athlete.

According to those who havewritten in to the office it is oneof the finest series of articles inregard to the care of athletesthat has been published and theyvalue it highly in their treatingand caring for the athletic teamsof their town and vicinity.

"Let's get up a university,"said the enthusiastic organizer."I've got a philanthropist, acorner stone and a good half-back."

THE APPEALHe glanced at the beautiful

woman beside him, his lookheavy with anxiety and humblepleading, but she was un-conscious of his appeal. Forlong moments he watched her,struggling with his emotion, de-siring, yet afraid, to ask thequestion that trembled on hislips. At last he spoke, wistfully,yearningly:

"That Something"

It has been most gratifying toreceive letters from the practic-ing Osteopaths in the field in re-gard to their enjoyment of thearticle entitled "That Some-thing" that has been printed inthe Log Book. Such statementsas: "I enjoy your little paperand especially the article 'ThatSomething.' Be sure to send methe paper containing all of thatstory," and others to the effectthat they have either missed thearticle or it has not yet beencontinued. The fact is this, therewas so much news of the con-vention which the editor wantedto be "red hot" that it was im-possible to print any of the storyin the last issue. The remainderof the story will be printed atthe earliest possible convenience.

Illinois Public HospitalsCannot Bar Osteopathic

Physicians

Osteopathic physicians andsurgeons in every state must passsimilar or equal tests with theolder school of medicine. Ourstudents are required to take notless than four years of intensivestudy in order to graduate. Mostof these students entering ourschools have -had some collegetraining, many have degrees,none have less than a high schooleducation.

The second largest county hos-pital in the world, the one inLos Anegles, recently turnedover to the osteopathic profes-sion one complete unit of morethan two hundred beds. Allsorts of conditions of patientswill be cared for at this unit.

Our contention has alwaysbeen that osteopathic practition-ers who are legally recognized,and their patients, should havethe same privileges in any hos-pital that is maintained whollyor in part by public funds orcontributions.

The attorney-general of Illi-nois sustains this viewpoint in arecent ruling as follows:

"The hospital in question ismaintained in part by publicfunds. I am of the opinion thatif the governing body shouldadopt a rule refusing to permitregularly licensed physicians pro-fessing a certain system of treat-ing to practice therein, the samewould be discriminatory and un-lawful."

THERE IS NO DEATHBy Bulwer Lytton

There is no death! The stars godown

To rise upon some fairershore;

And bright in Heaven's jewelledcrown

They shine forevermore.

There is no death! The dust wetread

Shall change beneath the sum-mer showers

To golden grain, or mellow fruit,Or rainbow tinted flowers.

The granite rocks disorganizeTo feed the hungry moss they

bear;The forest leaves drink daily life

From out the viewless air.

There is no death! An angelform

Walks o'er the earth with si-lent tread;

He bears our best loved thingsaway,

And then we call them "dead."

He leaves our hearts all desolate,He plucks our fairest, sweet-

est flowers;Transplanted into bliss, they now

Adorn immortal bowers.

Born unto that undying life,They leave us but to come

again;With joy we welcome them-the

same,Except in sin and pain.

And ever near us, though un-seen,

The dear immortal spiritstread;

For all this boundless universeIs life-there are no dead.

IS LIFE WORTH1 WHILE?In a recent book, enittled

Twice Thirty, Edward W. Bokraises the interesting question,"Is life worth while?" In ans-wer to it, he says, "There canbe no question of the worth-whileness of life if one gets atit thoroughly and plays it true.But one must bear such thoughtsas these among others in mind:

"To work for the love of workand to finish what you start,while others idle around you andleave the day's job unfinished."

"To do the thing at hand thatis waiting to be done, instead oflooking around for somethingelse to do.

"To have the conviction andlet no one shake it, that there isalways one real factor in Life,and that is Truth"

Board of OsteopathicExaminers

(Continued from page 1)four year high school course orits equivalent and a professionalcourse of four years of ninemonths each year. An applicantfor the major surgery licenseabove, two additional years postgraduate work in Major Surgery,one of which shall be in collegeand one in a hospital equippedfor doing Major Surgery andhaving twenty-five beds.

The Iowa State Board of Os-teopathy have always prided it-self upon the fairness of thequestions asked in its examina-tions. Nothing catchy or unfairis intentionally asked of any ofthe candidates, and the generalcourse of study is covered in apractical manner, in an honesteffort to determine whether ornot the respective applicants arecompetent to go out and enterupon the general practice, andaccording to Dr. D. E. Hannan,who has been secretary of theboard for the past two years, itis certainly a pleasure to scanthe list of applicants during thepast few years and note the hightype of preliminary educationwhich they have pursued pre-paratory to taking the regularprofessional course, many ofwhom have college degrees.This type of preparation is sure-ly bound to react most favorablyupon the profession as a whole inyears to come.

Those About School

been gained in all the clinicsand many cases were in them-selves worth the time.

From the Field

The following letter was re-ceived from Dr. A. E. Welch ofMountain Grove, Mo.:

Dear Sir:You of course receive inquiries

regarding locations for practice.I want to move to New Mexicoand of course would like to dis-pose of my practice here. Itrust that you will put my propo-sition before doctors who may beinterested.

Mountain Grove is a niceOzark town of 2500. In fouryears I have established a gen-eral practice among a good classof people.

My office is simply but nicelyequipped and is in the house werent for our home. I will sellmy equipment and the practicefor $500 cash. Considering thetime and money it takes to buildup a practice to a paying basis,$500 is not much to pay to lo-cate here and do well at once.

Thanking you for helping me.I am Very truly,

A. E. WELCH

To whom it may concern.Will sell my equipment to a

good practitioner, I want to restfor two years. Have a fine prac-tice in the capital city of tenthousand. We have a girls'state college of three to fourthousand girls nine months ofthe year and summer school ofsix and seven hundred womenteachers.

I will work with new doctoruntil March, 1929, give him halfof what he makes, furnish every-thing, get him acquainted, andsell to him in March, or sell tohim before then and let him paya reasonable amount each monthon account. I believe this is theeasiest way I know of some onegetting started in a good practicewithout waiting to work up apractice. I am the only Osteo-path here and friendly with theM. D.'s and Chiro.

This is the best town in thestate of Florida and has neverfallen under a boom. Pleasewrite soon if interested. Wehave the best law of any state inthe Union.

Fraternally,DR. IVA CARR,

Tallahassee, Fla.

Gentlemen:I have an office in Toledo and

confine my work to diseases ofthe rectum. Would like to findsome good Osteopath wanting tobuild up a practice in Toledowho would share my office withme. I have an excellent locationand an Osteopath would do goodthere in a few months time.

Fraternally,R. 0. BUCK,

Call Issued for FootballMen

Coach Frank Sutton has issuedthe call for the candidates forthe ly28 season. rt was impos-sible to do anything before theopening date of scnool, but onMonday afternoon, September 10,he met the fellows in the lockerroom and issued suits and equip-ment necessary for men engagedin this sport.

About fifty men reported thefirst day and it certainly wasgratifylng to the coacn to see

ile large number of men out.The return of so many of lastyear's varsity and the amount ofmaterial available from thisyear's freshman class gives hopeof a team that will be able tocope with the strong scnedule

,that the coach has already signedfor this season.

The men are being put throughsoiiie narc paces eacn nlgnt, atiuthe coach is certain that the menwill De in shape wnen tne whistleblows for the opening play of the-arsons game, September 28th.

Realizing the fact that the firstgame is not far distant, tie menare getting down to business inevery practice and putting all thevim and vigor into the practicesthat they can muster.

The coach is anxious that eve-ry man that has played footballor thinks that he would like toplay to report early. If you havethe old fight and the desire toserve D.M.S.C.O. report at onceto the coach. The success of theteam and the coach dependslargely on the amount of mate-rial that is available and fromwhich the coach will select thesquad.

Let's all get behind the menand the coach. Boost the teamand support them in every gameof the year.

Student ContributionsAgain we make the annual ap-

peal for student contributions forthe Log Book. This publication isprimarily a student affair andshould be filled with student con-tributions, so don't be backwardabout handing in the articles thatcome to your attention.

Every class should have its re-porter who should be held re-sponsible for the publicity on theactivities of that particulargroup. The class functions, per-sonal activities of the membersof the class and the jokes andboners pulled by classmates. Itis such items as these that makeour paper interesting and trulyrepresentative of the studentbody. Your ideas on subjectsakin to our work are worthy ofpublication.

Soph-Frosh ActivitiesEarly Friday morning the

Sophomores invaded the quiet ofthe Freshmen lecture room tolay down the traditional lawsfor the Freshman class. The re-sponsibility is left to the Sopho-more class to see that these lawsare put into effect and they cer-tainly are not neglecting theirduty.

We have heard many reportsfrom the Freshman class as towhat they will and will not dobut then we will await the out-come of the activities which arebrought to a successful close onHomecoming day. We rememberthe past but now our eyes turnto future events and activities.Let's go Sophs and Frosh whathave you.

Almost the entire Freshmanclass gathered at the Shrine Tem-ple to enjoy the Smoker givenby Sigma Sigma Phi, nationalhonorary fraternity, in theirhonor as the new class at DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy.

Dr. H. V. Halladay delightedthe entire group of men by giv-ing a very interesting talk on thehistory and the principles of thefraternity, also telling the newmen what is expected of studentsof Osteopathy.

He especially emphasized thereasons of the founding andwhat the fraternity stands for asan organization.

1. To strive for a higherscholastic standing.

2. Service to and the better-ment of the profession.

3 Work for a better andcloser relationship between Fac-ulty and Student body.

4. Act as a medium betweenthe students and the board oftrustees.

5. Aid in promoting betterschool activities.

Dr. Paul Park gave a shorttalk following Dr. Halladaystressing the need of study fromthe very first day and the attain-ment of higher scholastic stand-ards.

The men then enjoyed an ex-cellent get-to-gether meeting.Smokes were liberal in amountsand many lasting acquaintancesand friendships were formed be-fore the meeting adjourned.

DES MOINES STILL COLLEGEOF ' OSTEOPATHY

President ---------- C. W. Johnson

Faculty Advisor -H. V. Halladay

Editor .-- -------------R. B. Kale


Welcome FroshThe faculty, the student body,

and all those connected with D.M. S. C. O. take pleasure in giv-ing a hearty welcome to the in-coming Freshman and all thenew students of the College.

All indications lead us to be-lieve that there will be a largeregistration. As yet no definitereport can be made. Everyonehas spoken very highly of thepersonnel of the Class of 1932,and they are a mighty fine look-ing group. The pleasing fact es-pecially is to know that such alarge percentage have had col-lege work.

The registration of the classbrings representatives from prac-tically every state in the union.A selective group of students.whose life aim is to take the Sci-ence of Osteopathy into the fieldof life to aid those in need of Os-teopathy.

Many of the men come to D.M. S. C. 0. with excellent repu-tations as football and basket-ball stars, and of the rest weshall hear later. As to those whoare not athletically inclined, weknow they will speak for them-selves and carry the ball over theline in school work.

But to all, whether from Eastor West, North or South, we areglad you are here; we are happyto have you in Osteopathy. Weextend to you the hand of fellow-ship. You are WELCOME.

The "Athletic Heart"Study at-the Gorgas Memorial

institute seems to maKe obsoletethe old belief that heavy exercisecauses an "athletic" or enlargedheart.

Not strain but disease antedat-ing the strain is responsible forthe heart troubles commonlyascribed to athletics, accordingto these late findings.

Experiment has shown thatstrenuous exercise does not makea heart enlarge but may actuallycause its size to be reducedslightly. Predisposition to en-largement is the result of in-fectious diseases, such as scarletfever, pneumonia, rheumatism.

If at the beginning exercise isended before the fatigue point,there seems later no reason foravoiding the most strenuous ex-ertion. Accelerated breathing ishighly desirable, holding thebreath while lifting or otherwisestraining is injurious.

The net result of all this is toemphasize the importance ofthorough physical examinationbefore exercise is undertaken. Ifthe heart is sound, go ahead.-so ,__Bar A - D ogre cifrDes Ivioines egsxIjLr.

OSTEOPATI

The booth at the Iowa State.Fair again attracted much at-

tention and comment as it didin the years past. Located in anexcellent place in the new Edu-cational building next to DrakeUniversity the booth of DesMoines Still College of Osteo-

pathy, as pictured above, placedOsteopathic literature in thehands of thousands as -theypassed and stopped to look overthe booth.

The walls of the booth werevery appropriately decorated inpennants, papers and cards tell-ing about Osteopathy and alarge picture of the new buildingthat now houses Still College.Chairs, a table covered withOsteopathic literature and atreating table completed the fur-nishings. The literature was se-cured through the A. O. A. of-fice, and that which was not allused was placed in the autos thelast day so there was not one

threatened and the sky was nonetoo friendly, a large number ofthe freshman class gathered atthe Iota Tau Sigma House to en-joy the hospitality of that or-ganization.

The members of the Iota TauSigma held open house in theform of a smoker in the honor ofthe incoming Freshmen of StillCollege, Tuesday night, Septem-ber 11th. Dr. J. P. Schwartzwas the speaker of the evening.Some well timed remarks and ad-vice in regard to Osteopathy andthe school work made the eve-ning a complete success. Dr.Schwartz expressed the idea thatthe standing of Osteopathy inany community was in proportionto the standing of the Osteopathsof that community.

Later the men fully enjoyedthe evening smoking and playingbridge and cribbage.

Two cases that were of inter-est to some of the students, whohad not witnessed cases of thisnature before, were a face pre-sentation and delivery, and achild with an incomplete closureof the foramen ovale.

The prospects for the 0. B.department lead us to believethat we are going to have thelargest number of cases for de-livery this year that we have hadin the history of the school.

"That Something"(Con't. From Previous Issue)

He was a little man, with un-reasonable hair on his face, andvery thin on his head.

He wore thick glasses perchedon a beaked nose.

His eyes were small and blacklike shoe buttons.

He watched me covetly as Iate.

When the meal was finished,he invited me to sit with him inhis room.

"I hope you don't think meprying,' said he, when we wereseated, "but I have been tryingto figure you out."

"Yes ?""Yes," he reiterated, "and -I

have come to the conclusion thatyou are a student of sociology."

I laughed."Bobby tells me you are pack-

ing boxes down at his store."I nodded assent."Then," he said triumphantly,

"of course, it is for the study ofthe conditions of the workingmasses that you are downthere."

"Yes," I admitted. "I amvery much interested in condi-tions of the masses right now."

"Then you can help me," hecried. "I am writing a series ofpapers on this very subject. Willyou answer me this, please?What is it that keeps the underdog down? What is it that theupper ten possess that the underten thousand does not have?"

"Why, it's 'THAT SOME-THING,'" I answered.

"What do you mean? Educa-tion? Environment?"

Before my mind was flashedthe picture of my boyhood. Isay my home, I remembered thetender care of my parents, thelove of a mother, the guidinghand of a father. I saw myselfin college, at the head of myclass. I remembered that daywhen I was given a sheet ofparchment, and was told that Iwas a Master of Arts. And then,in the twinkling of an eye, thescene changed, and I saw thatawful room, with a hundred menlying around me on the cold,hard floor.

"No," I answered thought-fully, "it is neither of thosethings. 'THAT SOMETHING" isdifferent entirely. I don't justknow what it is myself now, butI am going to find it, pin it downand then I will tell you more ofit."

And as I looked into his face Inoticed the same puzzled expres-sion as the boy had worn. Andso,, by mutual consent, the sub-ject was changed and we talkedof trivial things.

And for a week or more Ipacked boxes and drove nails.

I made 'THAT SOMETHING'work with me all the time.

One day I noticed the shippingclerk had ahead of him morethan he could handle.

There were men in the depart-ment idle.

They could do nothing until hechecked up to them.

I laid down my hammer andwalked over to where he stood.

"I am to help you this after-noon," I said simply.

He looked up with a start."Oh," he exclaimed. Then:

"Well, that's good. I'm gladthey have sense enough to giveme somebody to help out atlast."

He handed me a bunch ofpapers, and made room for me atthe desk.

The superintendent of the de-partment was out of the room atthe time.

"So they've got you helpingout Dickey?" he asked.

I shrugged my shoulders with-out looking up, and continuedfiguring.

When I left the room thatnight the superintendent of thedepartment joined me.

"Say," he said, as we turnedup the street, "I never did justget onto how you were put inthere. What's the idea? Work-ing to learn the business?"

"Yes," I answered with confi-dence, "just that. I am to learnevery detail of it."

"Well, I thought something ofthe kind. Which one of 'em areyou kin to?"

"I do not think it is wise todiscuss that at this time," wasmy answer.

"Oh, sure," he hastened tosay. "I don't mean to be in-quisitive. Anything I can do tohelp you, let me know."

And then he left me.The shipping clerk was a

bright young fellow.I liked him, and he liked me.One day, shortly after I had

received my first raise in wages,he came to me with a problem.

That night I stayed down withhim and we worked it out to-gether.

We soon got in the habit ofstaying down one night of everyweek, and working over his sys-tems.

He lacked originality.I helped him.He had been doing things just

like the fellows before him haddone them.

The business had been grow-ing rapidly-practically doubled.

We worked out an improvedsystem.

We drew up forms.We planned it out in every de-

tail.One day we carried our plans

to the man in authority.There came up a question that

the shipping clerk did not quiteunderstand.

And so they sent for me.I was a well dressed man at

this time.Nothing flashy, nothing loud,

but well clothed.That had been my first invest-

ment.My approach was far from

that of the sniveling beggar whohad asked the man on the streetcorner for food.

The man in authority lookedat me in surprise.

"Who are you?"I handed him my card.These cards were my second

investment.He thumbed it a moment in

silence.(To Be Continued)

Dr. W. 0. Kingbury, Gastro-Enterologist of New York Os-teopathic Clinic, 205 East 20thSt., New York City, visited DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy in the interest of Gastro-Enterology. He is travelingover the United States visiting

The work in this clinic is car-ried on by Osteopathic doctors ofthe city of New York, who do-nate their time four evenings aweek and on Wednesday and Sat-urday afternoons. This clinic isentirely charitable acceptingthose cases who are unable topay for Osteopathic care. Theclinic is organized with both gen-eral and special departments. Dr.W. B. Strong is associated withDr. Kingsbury in the Gastro-Enterology department.

Throughout the city of NewYork the clinic is recognized asan Osteopathic center and hun-dreds of patients are treatedweekly, averaging over one hun-dred a day. We realize the valueof such an organization and itsproficiency means much to theadvancement of Osteopathy. Wewill be interested in the reportof Dr. Kingsbury and the resultof the work in the clinic.

Faculty Assembly

The first assembly of the yearwas held Friday morning at theregular assembly period. Dr.Johnson, president of D.M.S.C.O.opened the meeting with a fewintroductory remarks, afterwhich he introduced Dr. J. P.Schwartz, dean of the school,who took charge of the assembly.Dr. Schwartz immediately laun-ched into an explanation of theformation of the corporateboard and the choosing of sevenof these as a board of directors,emphasizing the fact that theschool is owned and run by theprofession. He explained in de-tail the financial status of theinstitution in an effort to clearup the "Whispering Campaign"that has gained impetuous lately.Let it suffice to say that D.M.S.C.O. at present enjoys an era un-known here-to-fore in the hist-ory of the school. The prophesyof Dr. Schwartz is: "In 5 years,8 at the most, D. M. S. C. O. willtake its place as the leading in-stitution of Osteopahy."


New Hot Water System

A complete automatic hotwater system has been installedin the basement of the college,which will supply the entirebuilding with hot water at alltimes. The tank is of 220 galloncapacity and has its own separ-ate heating system, but it is soconstructed that the main heat-ing system automatically heatsthe water through the coils as itheats the building.

The purchase was made from,the Kiwanee Boiler Co., and iscompact in its arrangement. Theclinics, and the showers for theathletic teams will now have aconstant supply of hot water. Mr.Thompson says "it works per-fectly and will save much fuel."

Always Another FightLeft

I have failed in a thousand cases,But I still have the heart to

try;I am scarred in a hundred places,

No darling of Luck am I!In many a crucial hour

I have hoped and been scornedand kicked;

But never has Fate had powerTo convince me that I am

licked.

I have trusted and been mis-taken

My friendship has been be-trayed;

I have struggled alone forsakenBy men who have had my aid;

I have listened to those whoflattered,

Their motive misunderstood,But my faith has remained un-

shattered;I believe in the ultimate good.

I ask for no unearned pleasure,No pathway through flowery

lanes;I offer a full, fair measure

Of effort for all my gains.I'll try, though the pace be grill-

ing,Nor whine if I'm tripped or

tricked,So long as my soul's unwilling

To let me believe I'm licked.

ImmunityFuture advances in the science

of immunity, which is the body'sresistance to disease, will bemade largely by chemists, eitheralone or in association with im-munologists, was predicted byDr. H. Gideon Wells, of the Uni-versity of Chicago, at the recentmeeting of the Institute ofChemistry of the AmericanChemical Society.

"Immunity may be appropri-ately called the chemical war-fare of existence," said Dr. Wells."The disease germs attack andkill us by the poisons they pro-duce. Our bodies are constantlyproducing poisons to defendthemselves by killing the germs.Through chemistry we can gainknowledge of just what thesemysterious protective agents arehow they act and how to producethem artificially. Then we shallnot have to depend on the dilutesolutions of these agents that wecan extract from a horse or cancause to develop in man's ownblood, such as our present serumsand anti-toxins, but can giveman as much as he needs of theactive agent that has been pre-pared by synthetic chemistry."

Faculty Assembly


The success of the Assemblywas practically assured from thestart, but was concluded certain-.y, when Mrs. Z. A. Innes readthe following poem:

THE DRAGON'S WAILI have only one word to say

To this class so young andfair,

[ have only one word to say,And that one word is-

"BEWARE."

so

Down in the dungeons belowIs a dreadful, direful lair,

Where a terrible dragon iscrouchesd,

Oh, my dear young friends, be-ware.

A dragon of ghastly white,With one rolling, fiery eye,

That eats young students alive.Friends, are you prepared to

die?

Sharpen the sword of your wits,Make your shield of attention

bright,So shall you pass to the depths

of that lairArmed and apparelled for

fight.

And when, the agony o'er,You rise to the upper air,

With a shining "100" on yourshield,

And your record writ large andfair,

You shall hear, if you listenclose,

The dragon's low, baffled moanAs it couches again at the door

of the lair,And waits-alone alone.

For other young victims ofwrath,

Who will come, as you come,, tothe fray,

And using their armor of youthand of bluff,

Make, as you made, a goodget-away!

Dr. Spring, the "Will Rogersof the faculty," according to Dr.Schwartz in his brief remarks,stressed upon the quality of theStudent Body. He told the stu-dents that as far as speech mak-ing, the only difference betweenZachius and himself was thatZachius was up a tree and hewas up a stump.

Dr. John Woods, next on theprogram, brought to the frontof the platform, a man whoweighed his words in advice. Hestated that the student shouldalways keep in mind one object,"to be Good Osteopathic Physic-ians," and further, that the col-lege is known by the quality ofthe practitioners they place itthe field, and the standing ofthe college in the city was ac-cording to the standing of thestudents.

From the sublime to the ath-letic, as Dr. Schwartz cleverlyexpressed it, Coach Frank Sut-ton who was next introduced, re-minisced for a short time on thepast football teams. Concerningthe team for the present season4-- -he4-4 A;n1 1-1,- ,t : otlIr Ullat4'VilCal iVVxI Vul I , J JVzI' -

.ng and there is a predominanceof experienced men. The entireteam will be composed of highcaliber men, who will climax theseason with the Kirksville game,;o be played in Des Moines onNovember 29th.

Next in turn, Prof. Gordon ex-tended greetings to all the newmen with the advice to "stick toit" even through the State Boardand to remember that what welo effects three-yourself, D. M.S.C.O. and the Profession.

Dr. Robert Bachman expressedhis enthusiasm on the outlookof the college,, both as to thenumber of the students and tothe excellent financial conditionof the institution. A fine spiritpermeated the whole studentbody with increased interest inOsteopathy. The phenominalgrowth of the clinic is duemainly to the patients realizingthe high grade work of the stu-dents.

Dr. H. V. Halladay made a de-lightful repartee to the intro-ductory remarks of Dr. Schwartz.Dr. Halladay commented on thefact that many come to D.M.S.C.O. from other schools, but thatno transcripts had been issued toanother school, also on the feel-ing of unity between the facultyand the student body and thedesire to advance the school. Theschool has much to be proud ofin regard to the fact that D.M.S.C.O. has the finest clinicalwork and 0. B. department ofany school, and in caring forathletes of the high schoolsthere is a high sense of appreci-ation. He emphasized the factthat the A.O.A. is to be in DesMoines in 1929 and that the stu-dents will share the large re-sponsibility.

The youngest member of the.faculty, Dr. Nowlin, left partingadvice to the students, to by allmeans avoid matrimony while inschool "and we ask, who is he,to speak!"

Miss Ava Johnson, our presi-dent's daugheter, brought theGreetings and Welcome of thefaculty to the Freshmen and newmen and we hope they won'tforget a nice red apple.

The final message of the fac-ulty to the students was givenby Dr. Groff who specificallycalled the attention to the factthat school prestige was rapidlyand surely losing ground-andthat D. M. S. C. 0. had advantagethat surpassed any school of Os-teopathy, in fact we should beproud today we were from DesMoines Still College.

Dr. Johnson now concludedthe faculty messages in explana-tion of the future assemblies. Hebrought to mind the fact thatD. M. S. C. 0. was the oldest con-secutive school of Osteopathy inthe world.

The singing of the Iowa cornsong and the'school song broughtto a close the most interestingfaculty assembly ever held in theassembly room of D. M. S. C. O.

Elbert Hubbard said that it isa greater disgrace to be ill tharto be in the penitentiary. Heshould have added that the dis--race is still greater when thesiclr fail to nDav the nhvsician.n

BRANCHING INTOATHLETICS

Chapter II.We left you with your shirt

off ready to go to work. Yourfirst job is to go over each boyand give him a thoro physicalexamination. Why? You know aswell as anyone that there arenany boys whose greatest desireis to play football or take partin athletics, regardless of beingphvsically fit for the game. Theyare runnng on pep and nothingelse. i iit;, ill hang on longeithan one who is not in quite asgood shape, but they will comeout of the game completely ex-hausted and are really doingthemselves a grave injustice, re-gardless of their enthusiasm.Also for your own informationyou want to know something inadvance about these boys. If youdiscover any conditions thatnay influence their work, reportit to the coach and warn the boy,himself. Watch -the boys inscrimmage. Try to figure whysome always lag. Your businessis to watch them, physically.

Your greatest number of in-juries will be of the musculartype and these will occur mostlyin the first ten days of practice.The most of the boys, have hadvery little, if any, summer train-ing, and here they come intostrenuous physical training -straining every muscle beyonditq power of endurance. The re-sult is a series of "CharleyHorse" cases. These will make uptwenty-five percent of your totalinjuries, so you must be preparedto properly take care of them.

This chapter will be devotedentirelv to the care of this typeof injury; the remaining seventy-five per cent will have to wait.

When we think.of the pathol-ogy of this muscle injury, wepicture a bruise of soft tissue.There will be the usual resultantinfiltration of blood around theDart, and consequent swelling.Nature has started the repairimmediately. But in the processNature takes her time, and thatmeans considerable loss of play-ing time to the boy. He resentsthis and uses the limb and ag-gravates the condition. Supposewe have a case here. A boy hassuffered a strain or trauma af-fecting the heavy muscle of thefront of the thigh. Get him tothe gym as soon as possible. Thesooner the better. If you can getthis case within twenty minutes,you will save hours of suffering.DO NOT start in by mrnipulat-ing over the injury. This willcause more contractions to startup. Leave the swelling alone asfar as manipulation is concerned.Apply immediately, alternate hotand cold packs. Two minutes hot-and we mean hot-followed byone minute cold, and keep thisup for about thirty minutes.These thirty minutes now willsave you hours later and will insome cases get the case up thenext day without much pain orsuffering. Following the packs,manipulte the muscle aroundthe point of injury to withinabout one inch of its margin. DO

Branching Into Athletics(Continued from page 3)

NOT start chopping the musclewith the edges of your handslike an old fashioned butcherchopping a piece of round steak.That is not considered good prac-tice now. Normalize the part ofthe spine that has to do withcontrolling the involuntary im-pulses to the arteries that inturn supply the injured muscles.

Try this once and you will besurprised at the results. The re-sponse is in proportion to theextent of the injury. The slightinjuries naturally respond muchquicker, but let one go for a fewhours without treatment andnote the results.

If you have an understandingwith the coach in the beginningand you say a boy will have tolay off three days, the coachknows you mean it and that itis best in the end. Don't letthem out too quick, and keepthem on light practice until youfeel- that they can go in withoutbeing carried off the field in afew. minutes. Repeats should berare unless acquired a&ccidently.If you are getting repeats, thereis something wrong with the waythat boy handles himself.

Also look for chronic lesionsin the area of the spine, associ-ated with the origin of the mo-tor nerves to those sensitivemuscles. Find it, fix it and letit alone. Watch for injuri'es` tothe abdominal muscles. A 'strain'

here, not always mentioned bythe boy, may lead to hernialater on. Study the leg muscles.They may contract, and whilenot completely disable the boy,may lead to foot trouble.

So far you have needed nothingbut your head, hands, towels, hotand cold water.

ceived from Dr. S. C. Reid ofBonaparte, Iowa:-Des Moines Still College,

value received. It is our opinionthat we could do more and bet-ter work if we would be there ontime and do what we are sup-posed to do in the time allotted.In other words just do what weare supposed to do.

We wanted to hear Dr. FrankMoon and Dr. A. E. Moss. Onewas cut out on account of histime being taken by a businessmeeting and the other was calledhome.

The one big outstanding fea-ture that appealed to the writerwas the fine work being done inLincoln by Drs. Shickley andMoon. Dr. Shickley has chargeof the treating of the NebraskaState athletic teams. It was agreat privilege to go with him in-to the training quarters of thiswonderful team and to come indirect contact with the boys ofthat big squad and to know thatthey know and appreciate thework of Dr. Shickley. There areonly a few of us who realize theeducational value of such workand the wonderful results thatare being obtained.

Another extremely gratifyingvisit was to Cotner College whereDr. Frank Moon is the coach andtrainer. Frank is the king ofthe camp. The college has im-proved the gym and built a com-pletely equipped office and train-ing quarters for Dr. Moon. Thefaculty, trustees and students arebacking him to the man. I hadthe pleasure of working withsome of his boys and talking tothem about the results obtainedunder Dr. Moon's direction.

Dr. Bolles of Denver conduct-ed a children's health conferencefor which she is so famous. Itwas unusually successful. Thehotel was crowded with children.Here is another Osteopathic spe-cialty that is educational andpromotes good will whereverit is used.

It was a good convention. Thebusiness crowded the program alittle too much but we need moretime for all this work.

New officers for next year are:Dr. Harold R. Shickney, presi-

dent, Lincoln, Neb.Dr. H. I. Magoon, vice-presi-

dent, Scotts Bluff, Neb.Dr. H. E. Lytton, secretary-

treasurer, Nebraska City, Neb.

"That Something"(Continued From Last Issue)

"You are packing boxes?" heasked in surprise.

"I am in the packing room-temporarily."

And then he went over theshipping clerk's plans in detail.

"1 think they are all right,"said the man in authority finally."I'll have these forms sent to theprinter in the morning."

As we turned to leave the of-fice, he called me back.

"How long have you been inthe packing rooms?"

"Sixty-three days,"I answered.

"You've been there longenough. There is nothing morefor you to learn there, is there?"

"No."He studied me for a while in

silence."Funny neither of 'em has

ever said anything about you tome," he said at length, speakinghalf to himself. "I suppose theold man's idea was for you towork out your own salvation. Isthat it?"

"In a way," I replied. "Whatany man accomplishes musteventually come from 'THATSOMETHING' within him."

He pondered this for a mo-ment.

Then he scrawled a few wordson a piece of paper.

"Hand this to Perkins in theauditing department tomorrowmorning, and we'll see how youshow up there."

I thanked him, turned to leavethe room.

"And say," calling me back asecond time, "better forget aboutmy having said anything aboutyour relations with the Old Man.After all, you see, it's none ofmy business."

''Certainly," I answered, andleft the room.

Three months later I leftBob's mother's boarding house.

It hurt me to do this.She had been almost a mother

to me.There was a home life about

the place that I had learned tolove.

Even the little hairy OlogyProfessor and his fancifultheories had become dear to me.

But "THAT SOMETHING" de-manded that I move on.

And so I moved on up the hill.I arranged for a small suite

of rooms at a quiet familyhotel.

t It was at the suggestion of theMan in Authority that I chose

-this hotel.It was where he lived.And so we became at first ac-

t quaintances.Then friends.

e He urged me to join his clubY I made friends of the righie sort there.1 All of these things were investments.

And never once did the Man iiAuthority mention the fact tha

s I was "learning the business."e And so a year rolled 'round.i It waT the time Perkins toolr his vacation.

I was given the place until hereturned.

OnI a h OdMncmOne day the Old Man came

into my office.He looked at me keenly.Directly the Man in Authority

came in.The Old Man called him aside.I overheard a portion of their

conversation."Who's the man at Perkins'

desk?" the Old Man asked.The Man in Authority men-

tioned my name."Funny I never heard of him

before," said the Old Man.The Man in Authority gasped.And the rest was spoken in

guarded tones, and I heard noword further.

That night the Man in Author-ity came into my sitting room.

"Say," he began, "you've cer-tainly got me locoed or some-thing of the sort. I have beenfiguring you out all along. as award or a long lost cousin of theOld Man's. Now, today he comesin and jumps on me about put-ting you in this place of respon-sibility without first knowing allabout you. Of course, I knowyou're all right," he added kind-ly, "but, by Jupiter, I'm placedin a deucedly unholy kind oflight, anyhow."

"What's all the trouble?" Iasked. "My work going wrong?"

"I should say not," he ex-claimed with enthusiasm, "butthat's aside from the question.What's got me going is how thedickens you did it. How youcould hold down the most re-sponsible job on the works with-out anybody knowing just whatyou really are. Tell me aboutyourself, will you?"

"Well," I began in a sing-song voice, "I was born of poorbut honest parents, in a quaintlittle hamlet of Virginia, wherethe rising sun-"

"Oh, drat the history and therising sun. Tell me who you arekin to, or who is backing youup? It's pull that counts thesedays. Who gave you your startwith the company?"

I leaned back in my leatherMorris chair. Memory broughtback the picture of that drab dayof just a year before.

And that brought to my mindthe card that had been given me.

I had not thought of it beforeuntil that minute.

I arose, and went to a closet,where hung the very suit I hadworn on that eventful day. Ihad kept it as a souvenir of myawakening.

And, as I had hoped, the cardwas in the pocket of the shabbyvest.

For the first time, I read thename engraved thereon.

Doctors Marshall,Caldwell and Halladay have metand corresponded with the re-sult that we have below the listof appointments that will func-tion under the stated headingsat the next annual meeting. Ithas not been the intention of thecommittee to slight any one. Werealize that this is just a begin-ning. There will be more mem-bers of the state association thatwill be drafted as the needarises, and at the next meetingof the committee as a whole weknow that items will .be broughtto our attention that will neces-sitate additions to the publishedlist. A general meeting of theentire roster has been called for1 P. M. Sunday, October 21st,at the Ft. Des Moines Hotel andthere will be a report of thatmeeting in the next issue of TheLog Book.

"Pep" Rally

Due to the fact that the dateof the game with Midland Collegewas changed to the fourth of Oc-tober, a "pep" rally was calledI.C e-- b1i IIce 1i i-C e h Un Au-U ir 4ini i)etiuor e Ilt: ImenII luiL u nl bll-u1i bI 1ip.

Dr. Halliday was in charge andhe gave a short review of theParsons game and the excellentbrand of football displayed bythe D.M.S.C.O. players. He ex-pressed confidence in the team,due to the fine teamwork thatwas demonstrated in the Parsonsgame.

Coach Sutton was cheered tothe platform and he immediatelyput some rosin on the bench.He then gave some inside infor-mation on the team. The teamthis year has more weight thanlast year, with five center menaveraging two hundred pounds.There is not one, but two teams,and one is as good as the other,which was evidenced by the factthat Still made nine to Parsonsfour first downs in their recentgame. He is more than pleasedwith the interest and the hardwork of the team.

Captain Shaw, the man withthe ability to lead a real fightingteam, was called on, and aftertelling of the men and the team,appealed to the student body forloyal support to the team. Heintroduced all the men as theycame to the platform.

Osteopathy at the Par-sons Game

Dr. Virgil Halladay walked outon his classes the day of the Par-sons game and stepped into alively osteopathic practice as theresult of injuries on the field ofvalor. Parsons was out to win atany cost, and at times got a lit-tle rough. Not so that there wasany hard feeling, but rememberthat the Parsons boys had theadvantage of us in about threeor four weeks of intensive train-ing before the regular collegework begins.

Aside from the usual numberof bruises, and sprains that areto be expected in any game, wehad a dislocated elbow, whichwas corrected one minute afterit happened, while the .patientwas sitting on- the bench. An-other player was out with a com-plete loss of memory, as a resultof a cervical injury. He later re-turned to the game and finishedthe last quarter OK.

Injuries of this type, while notcommon, do occur and are justadded items to the proof thatevery football team should carrywith it a competent physician,preferably of the osteopathicschool, who can appreciate meth-ods of taking care of traumat-isms. Our effeciency in this par-ticular field of practice is beingproved every day in all parts ofthe country and this work is justas much a specialty as any other.We hope that you are taking thetime this year to do some workof this kind.

Senior Class Elects NewStillonian Editor

A meeting of the Senior ClassThursday morning resulted inthe election of Leonard J. Grin-nell to the position of Editor-in-Chief of the Stillonian for 1929.This election was to fill the posi-tion made vacant by the resigna-tion of J. Lane Kendall.

A new plan is to be institutedthis year. A second associateeditor and a second associatebusiness manager is to be electedfrom the Sophomore class. Theidea of the plan is to take thegreatest part of the detailedwork of the Stillonian from theSeniors in charge. The plansare to put the publication of theyear book in the hands of theJunior and Sophomore classes ofthe future.

Freshman ReceptionDecided Success

The first social event of theschool swung into line with thereception of the school in honorof the freshmen and the newmen of Still College on the nightof Oct. 34. The reception linewelcomed all the students andtheir friends to the halls of theHoyt Sherman where the nightair was soon filled with dancemusic. What a night! What adance!

During the early part of theevening the Freshmen formed aline marching around the roomto the applause of the students,and faculty. This dance was forFreshmen only and some ofthem sure showed experience inhTn-nlin t +thir fotp sin the d+anep

floor, and many a fair youngheart beat rapidly during thedance. Dr. Halladay added spiceto the evening when he passedout horns and other variousforms of noise makers to theFreshmen and the rest of thosepresent, when they joined in thedance.

Later another specialty andnovelty dance was held for thefreshman. Dr. W. J. Nowlin an-nounced that another dancewould be held for Freshmenonly, and that it would be anelimination dance. The dancerswere gradually eliminated byhaving the orchestra stop sud-denly and those who did not stopwere to leave the floor. It wasa great dance and the competi-tion was very keen. Finallythere was only five couple lefton the floor and then four andthen the contest was on inreality.

DR. ALICE POTTER BAUER

Dr. Alice Potter Bauer, whosepicture appears above, graduatedfrom Still College ten years agoand since that time has prosper-ed financially and achieved pro-fessional success, all of whichshe credits to the scientific teach-ing of Osteopathy in the D. M. S.C. O.

A letter was received recentlyfrom Dr. Bauer inclosing a checkfor a large sum of money to beused by the school in any waythey desired for the further ad-vancement of Osteopathy. Thisshe has done to show her appre-ciation for what the collegemeant to her as a student.

Dr. Bauer has been honorednumerous times, having the dis-tinction of being president of the0. W. N. A., several times vice-president of the State Society ofOhio last year, and has been sec-retary of the Central Ohio So-ciety. She has had several op-portunities to enter politics buthas declined in favor of the pro-fession.

During the summer she spenther vacation in Europe, visitingEngland, France, Switzerland,Italy, Germany, Austria, Den-mark, Norway, and Scotland.Upon returning to her office shefound business so increased thatit was necessary to hire a trainednurse to assist her.

Closing her letter she sentbest wishes to Des Moines StillCollege and appreciation for Dr.Johnson as her instructor whilein school.

Happiness is not a matter ofage, but a state of mind. Enjoythings as they are.-ChaunceyM. Depew.

Homecoming Date SetNov. 29 has been definitely

decided upon as the day whenD. M. S. C. O. observes its an-nual homecoming. And whatcould be a better day-Thanks-giving and the annual Kirksville-Still game.

Plans are already under wayfor the social events of the day;fraternities are planning lunch-eons and the school is now com-pleting arrangements for the an-nual homecoming dance.

Being that this is a holiday itwill be an ideal day for the busydoctor to journey to D. M. S. C.O. to witness Kirksville go downto defeat under Coach Sutton'shard fighting team.

This has all been given thelast degree of consideration bythe committee in charge of theaffair so that no one would findit impossible to journey back totheir alma mater.

Glee ClubAbout twenty-five men of the

student body gathered in room302 to organize a glee club forD. M. S. C. 0. A general rolewas taken and there appeared tobe a well balanced number ofvoices, although more can beused in all parts. If plans thatare already formed are carriedto completion D. M. S. C. O. isgoing to have a fine glee cluband one of which they can wellbe proud.

This is a culmination of plansthat have been in process forsome years but there has alwaysbeen lacking that one to takecharge. E. V. Chance of theFreshman class has consented totake charge this year, having hadconsiderable experience alongthis line for several years.Music has been purchased andthe first practice will be heldTuesday afternoon.

The student body is lookingforward to a real treat from thisnew organization.

Sigma Sigma PhiSigma Sigma Phi, national

honorary fraternity, takes pleas-ure in announcing the pledgingand initiating of the followingmen: Harold Jennings, WalterHeinlen, Leon Nichelson, P. J.Gephart and John Martin.

The ceremonies were followedby a banquet.

The national business of thefraternity is now well under wayand much should be accomplish-ed in the future months.

Still Defeats NebraskaState Champions

The finest exhibition of schoolspirit that has ever been demon-strated in a Still College gamewas uncorked on the field at thePeru Normal game last Satur-day. Upsetting all the dope ofthe season and especially lastSaturday the Pirates defeated thePeru Bobcats 16 to 12 on theCatholic College field.

The visitors, although cham-pions of the Nebraska confer-ence last season and undefeatedbefore their setback against thelocal team, could not pierce theStill line, and were forced to relyon an overhead game duringmost of the contest.

During the first quarter Saut-ter, speedy Bobcat halfback,squirmed through the center ofthe line and shook off severaltacklers to get in the open. Hewas well on his way for a touch-down when Hyink, Still's safetyman, running up grabbed thepedals of the loost running backand gave him an upsetting onStill's 18-yard line.

Still stopped the invading on-rushes and held the Peru aggre-gation without a gain in threeattempts at the forward wall, buton the next play Sautter steppedback and heaved the ovalthrough Spencer's arms into thewaiting arms of Pike whostepped across the goal for amarker.

The Bobcat's second and finaltally came in the last periodwhen Zook and Clausen broughtthe ball from midfield to the 2-foot line on a series of off tackleplays and end runs, Zook scoringthrough the center of the line onthe next play. The attempt forthe extra point was ruined whenthe pass was knocked down.

Coach Sutton's proteges scoredtheir markers in the second andfourth quarters, the first camewhen the men in the backfieldcrashed through the openingmade by the front rank men,carried the pigskin across the

The Seniorsare much like the Freshmen.They may go as they please, butalways they must leave theirnumber so they may be calledat any moment, as the 0. B.must be taken care of. Becauseof so many activities we are justgetting settled down.

October 15, 1928.Dear Doctor:

We are arranging a most in-.teresting and instructive surgicalclinic to be held during the weekof November 12 to 19, 1928, atMercy Hospital, St. Joseph, Mo.

This is to be a surgical clinicfor the profession and we are ex-ceedingly fortunate in having onthe program Dr. C. C. Reid ofDenver, Colo., who will be incharge of all Eye, Ear, Nose andThroat operations. Dr. CharlieE. Still of Kirksville, Mo., Dr.Geo. J. Conley and Dr. John H.Styles of Kansas City, Mo., willalso be on the program as wellas many other prominent men ofour profession.

City, Mo.The clinic offers an unusual

opportunity to study and observefirst hand the technic and meth-ods of men whom we recognizeas foremost in their' specialbranches of our profession.

In addition to the vast store ofinformation and surgical knowl-edge to be gained from the clinicyou will have an opportunity ofobserving a vitally importantand intensely interesting branchof our profession. I refer to ad-ministration of anaesthetics, bothfor minor and major surgery.

For the past two years atMercy Hospital, we have beenusing the Hinkle Machine andAlkoform in all of our work,and we have had such gratify-ing results that I feel it my dutyas well as an extreme pleasure toacquaint others of my professionwith the remarkable advantageof this method, both to the pa-tient and the doctor.

I am sure this method of ad-ministering an anaesthetic in theform of a dry gaseous vapor willbe a revelation to you, as it wasto me when I first ogserved it.

No doubt you have failed toattend many clinics in the past,but I feel that this clinic will beof such unusual value to youpersonally, and to the professionin general, that you cannot af-ford to miss it.

Your co-operation by attend-ing, bringing or sending yourcases, both pay and charitable tothese clinics will be greatly ap-preciated.

I cannot urge you too stronglyto arrange your work so that youmay be with us in St. Joseph,Mo., November 12 to 19, 1928.

Viewing from Trinity's side ofYards Park, the team photog-rapher saw Trinity- kick off toStill at 3:00 P. M. The ballwas returned by the Pirates totheir 40-yard line and then thebattle began.

We can now see why Trinityis one of our hardest teams toplay, to say nothing of beatingthem. They are a team of hardand tough playing fighters,using everything and stopping atnothing.

From the time that Still re-ceived the ball from that firstkick-off until the last quarterhad ended the ball was almostcontinuously in or near the mid-dle of the field. At no time dur-ing the first three quarters wasthe Pirates' goal in danger. Bothteams were evenly matched.

The beginning of the lastquarter saw the Still aggregationbreak out with a new inspira-tion, an epidemic of that "OldStill Spirit" and start a push forthe "Irishers" goal. A punt byTrinity was blocked by Still andfrom then until the ball was putover by Bill Hinds was no timeat all. Hyink failed to kick goal.

At that point Trinity put in astar, "Buzz" Brown, who thoughcrippled, gave new life to theSioux City eleven. But evenwith this new added life andcourage the "Irishers" were nomatch for the Pirates who againmade first down after first downin a steady march down the fieldfor another touchdown by Capt.Shaw. Red Lang kicked thegoal.

T r i n i t y, now thoroughlyaroused by the scoring againstthem by a team that they hadbeaten for three years, started amad dash down the field towardour goal. They managed by fairmeans or foul to force down toStill's 15-yard line. But, hereagain Still regained the ball andthe Pirates were stopped in an-other steady dash down the fieldtoward a touchdown (by the re-port of the time-keeper's six-shooter.)

Another "Pep" AssemblyThe assembly on Friday, Oct.

19 was called by Dr. Johnson,president of the college, in an ef-fort to arouse school spirit forthe Peru State Normal game tobe held Saturday afternoon. Dr.Johnson asked for the support ofeveryone connected with StillCollege and emphasizing thefact that football at D. M. S.C. 0. was held in the balance inregards to its value in schoolactivities. He then reminded thestudents about the securing oftheir attendance tickets at theoffice and the Freshman Recep-tion to be held at the Hoyt Sher-man Place.

Prof. Huff of Drake Universitywas introduced to the studentbody and he spoke about thecounty Y. M. C. A. banquet heldat the Shrine Temple at whichDr. F. W. Norwood would speakon Youth and World Peace.

The band which has previous-ly gathered on the platform now-came into action. Under theleadership of "Bob" Herrick inthe absence of Dr. Halladay theyentertained those assembled in avery able manner. It is certainthat no apology is needed fromthe D. M. S. C. O. band for theirplaying was received with thehighest approval, which wasdemonstrated by the studentsgathered in the assembly room.

Following the yells whichwere led by Larry St Amant,Coach Sutton came to the plat-form at the call of the studentsand told about the Peru teamwhich had such a wonderfulreputation. He would make noprediction but was confident thatthe boys would give all to bringvictory to Still College for sucha victory meant much to anyteam.

During the entire evening thestudents were crowded aroundthe punch bowl in the hall to en-joy the further generosity of theschool officials in their desire tomake a night long to be remem-bered by the Freshmen, theother members of the studentbody and the faculty of the col-lege.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye!Alumni and former Students ofD.M.S.C.O. As you now know, the29th of November has been setaside by the Board of Trusteesto roast Turkey-and Kirksville.But that is only part of a bigday of entertainment and festiv-iMes ithat s: now pl anned:Star ting with early morning and last-ing until the night is well spent,will be hours of ceaseless activ-ities.

The first quarter of the activ-ities will start in the morning asearly as possible, visiting the var-ious fraternity houses that willbe appropriately decorated, theschool, visiting the old friendsand meeting classmates and the+, wei f-PrnM K i rlZi 1iTTn

Passes Upset StillTaking advantage of the breaks

of the game, the Columbus Col-lege gridders gave the Piratesone of the neatest upsets of theseason. Meeting what is recog-nized as one of the strongestteams Coach Sutton has ever de-veloped, this team from SiouxFalls, S. D., defeated Still 13 to 0on the Catholi'c College .field

"'Bth counters came from in-tercepted passes by the Col-umbus men. The first, when Ken-nedy intercepted Hyink's heaveand sprinted unmolested overthe Still goal line. Likewise thesecond, when the ball was downedon the twenty-three yard lineafter an intercepted pass. Linesmashes carried the ball to theeight yard line where Leahy shota pass to Kintz who downed theball for t.he nthr count.prt1 111 ai I lll .i.1.1 ¥ o v i ail.

The second quarter will beginabout twelve-thirty when thedifferent organizations will serveup turkey, cranberry sauce, andwhat nots-or perhaps many willjourney to homes of friends thatthey knew while students at StillCollege.

Now the biggest and best quar-ter of all when D.M.S.C.O. andKirksville clash on the footballfield in their annual classic. Bothteams are well balanced and itis going to be one of the finestexhibitions of football in thehistory of either school. Notuntil the final whistle blows willthe game be decided.

The final quarter of the activ-ities will be in the evening, withthe football banquet and danceas the main entertainment.

The banquet is to be given inhonor of both teams and manyof the alumni and students areexpecting to enjoy such a feast-for turkey will be served inplenty.

The dance will be sponsoredby the "S" Club and they arebusy at plans to ascertain thatit will be a success and a fittingclimax to such a day as Nov. 29,1928.

Sigma Sigma Phi ToGive Loving Cup

Plans have been completed forone of the biggest homecomingsthat D.M.S.C.O. has ever witness-ed. Stimulating further interest,3igma Sigma Phi decided to pre-sent a loving cup that will beproperly engraved with the dateand name of the fraternitv thathas the best decorated house.

This will be judged by a com-mittee selected by Sigma SigmaPhi and the award will be madeat the annual Homecoming danceto be held Thanksgiving night.The selection will be based on theartistic ability displayed and theOsteopathic interpretation andrepresentation.

Keen competition is expectedanrd it will be necessary 'or 'aclhfraternity to put forth theirbest ideas.

Cheer Leaders to GetSweaters

Another fine example of thework that the "S" club is doingaround the school is its effort toselect a cheer leader by- theirmerits in their ability to leadcheers.

The "S" club plans to awardthese men with appropriatesweaters as a reward for theirinterest and work.

To Detroit HospitalDr. O. H. Olsen, a recent grad-

uate of D.M.S.C.O. who servedan internship at the Detroit Os-teopathic Hospital, has been re-called to that institution toserve as house physician.

Dr. Olsen has been practicingin South Bend, Ind.

New Lockers PurchasedKeeping in step with the trend

of improvement around thebuilding, the college has pur-chased twenty-eight new lockerswhich are being installed in theplace of the old lockers, outsidethe treating room. These lock-ers were purchased from theBerger Mfg. Co., Canton, Ohio,under specifications that calledfor a locker 18x12x60 inches, sothat they would accommodate a17 inch kit without standing iton edge, as so many of the grad-uates remember of old.

The other lockers have beenplaced at the end of the hall onthe third floor to be used byunderclassmen. This makes atotal of almost one hundred lock-

Dr. Schwartz Takes TripDr. J. P. Schwartz, dean of the

school, has returned to the city,after a visit to Grove City, Pa.,where he visited Dr. Bashline,and to Detroit, where he at-tended the Michigan State Con-vention.

He reports very favorably con-cerning the work of Dr. Bashline,who has a forty-bed hospital thatis full all the time. Dr. Bashlinehas the complete co-operation ofthe field men of the vicinity andwith a mortality that is unusual-ly low, has developed an institu-tiont hat is a monument to Oste-opathy.

Wilsandt, a Columbus tackle,blocked an attempted kick in thefirst quarter and Columbus re-covered the ball on Still's thirty-three yard line. Shaffer in thefollowing play tossed the balltoter for a two yard loss, but onthe next play, a pass! netted thevisitors ten yards. Another passresulted in recovery of the ballwhen Shaw leaped high into theair and intercepted the heave.Shaw returned the ball to hisown twenty-eight yard line,where Hyink punted the ball outof danger.

The second quarter found Stillin possession of the ball on theColumbus twenty-six yard line.Failing to gain through the line,the Still team resorted to passesand their chance of scoring wasended. forthe- time being, _whe.ntle first pass was intercepted onthe fourteen yard line. Anotherchance to score slipped when thePirates received a fifteen yardpenalty, after they had workedtheir way down to the seventeenvard line, which they failed toregain.

The thrill of the game cameat the start of the third quarterwhen Stritmatter took the kick-off and started on his way to atouchdown. Only one man was be-tween him and the goal line. Butthe Columbus safety proved equalto the task and dragged himdown on the visitors' thirty-fiveyard line.

The play of both forward wallswas the feature of the contest.

SQUARE AND COMPASSVery little has been heard

about the Square and Compassso far this year. This is becausewe are still in the stage of or-ganization Installation of StillSquare came so late last springthat little was accomplished be-fore the close of school. We arehandicapped, waiting for suppliesfrom national headquarters. Asplendid spirit has been showngand before the end of the pres-ent school year, Still Square willassume its rightful place in thelife of Still College. Our localorganization is being completedwhile waiting for material fromthe national office.

Bro. Kivit was elected lastspring as our first president. Be-ing a member of the graduatingclass, his resignation followedsoon after his election. Bro.David Shaw was chosen to com-plete his term. As president ofthe Masonic Club, while changingfrom a club to a Square of Squareand Compass. Bro. Shaw accom-plished a great deal and is ex-ceptionally well fitted for hispresent task. Bro. L. S. Hugheswas elected first chaplain of StillSquare. As he did not return toStill College this fall. anotheroffice was left vacant. We regretlosing Bro. Hughes, who was ahard worker in the Masonic Cluband an exceptionally well in-formed Mason. Bro. Harry Skin-ner was elected to fill the chap-lain's office. On Oct. 16th, Bros.Shaw and Skinner were installed.

Election night, Nov. 6th, StillSquare was the guest of Zag-Ga-Zig Shrine at a smoker. A splen-did entertainment was presentedwhich was greatly enjoyed by themembers. For details, ask any ofthose present. We certainly ap-preciate the many kindnesses ofthe Shrine. It is a considerablehonor for us to count their Re-corder, Bro. C. C. Nye, as a mem-ber of our Square and a fraternaladviser. Zaz-Ga-Zig Shrine hasdone everything possible to ex-tend a helping hand to us.

The first regular meeting washeld Nov. 8th. Meetings will beheld hereafter every third Thurs-day. A splendid meeting has beencalled for Nov. 15th to considerimportant business. All meetingsare held at the Shrine Temple.

-~ ~ ~ ~~~nte IntresinAnother Interesting

Assembly

The Band, under the directionof Dr. H. V. Halladay, startedanother assembly on the road toone of the pepiest meetings ofthe student body this year.

Capt. Shaw being called upon,stated that Trinity had a realfootball team but if the studentswould back the college team, themen would give their best to re-main undefeated for the rest ofthe season.

Coach Sutton appeared andwas immediately called to thefront. He told the team and thestudent body that it would notbe an easy game, and due to thefact that the team was outweigh-ed, it would be necessary for themen to be on their toes everyminute of the game. He compli-mented the 'S" Club on their finespirit in extending a welcome tothe visiting teams by meetingthem at the train and in otherways to give a good impressionof the school. It is his wish thatthe entire student body back thisorganization in their efforts.

Following another selection bythe band, Grinell, editor of theStillonian, announced that itwould be possible to secure acopy of the Convention number ofthe Stillonian for only four dol-lars, if the money was paid be-fore January first.

Al Nelson then asked for thesupport of the merchants thatmade possible the programs atthe football -game.

The band again favored thestudents with a selection thathas become a favorite with all.

Dr. Wade of Winterset gave afew words in regard to the sup-port of all Osteopathic Conven-tions.

Dr. Jones, instructor of Obstet-lrics at Kansas City, was a visitorof D.M.S.C.O. and complimentedthe school very highly on thespirit of friendliness that pre-vails at Still College. A few wellselected words advised the stu-dents to train themselves to bea credit to Osteopathy. Further,that the death rate in Obstetricswas a challenge to Americanyouth, and Osteopaths especially.And in view of the fact that fiftypercent of the deliveries aremade in the home, every Osteo-path should make O.

(Dueto the fact that such a largeamount of Obstetrics is handledby the Clinic of Des Moines StillCollege, this should be especiallytrue of our graduates.-Editor'sNote.)

Dr. Carpenter, a former in-structor of D.M.S.C.O., was pres-ent at the assembly. He waselected coroner at the last elec-tion.

Following cheers lead by Stew-art and Reeves, the studentssang the school song, which wasplaved by the band.

Health ReportMeasles, whooping cough, di-

gestive ailments and other dis-eases attack more boys than girlsunder 10 years, according to thesurvey made by the U. S. PublicHealth Service. However, afterthe boy is 10 years old, unless hebreaks a collar bone or suffersother injury in the course of hismore venturesome activities, hewill spend less time in bed sickthan his sisters of the same age.This bears out the previous mor-bidity and mortality experienceof health officers which givesmale infants a handicap over girlbabies, but reverses the condi-tion during adolescence and ma-turity.-(Science.)

the Charley Horse cases. So farwe have not mentioned the useof rolling, ironing, diathermy,quartz or other type of light,mud packs, taping, etc. Each ofthese will be taken up now withthe stress on results rather thanpopularity. There are somecoaches and trainers who willnot change their old methodsand while each of these have aplace in the care of muscle in-juries they should be made tokeep their place and not try todo their turn whe nthe curtainhas. been rung down on them.

Rolling is a method employedby some to aid in the relief ofcongestion following musclestrain. The method usually em-ployed is to. secure a mediumsize ordinary rolling pin, thetype that is so popular with Mrs.Mutt. The injured part is placedupward on the table and the roll-ing begins. Back and forth overthe area parallel to the fibres ofthe muscle. Rolling done prop-erly will do no harm and usuallyhelps as it is intended to do. Thebad feature is that an inexpe-rienced hand is usually given thejob and the rolling process con-tinues for too long a time orthere is too much pressure ap-plied and the end result is ad-ded irritation. Rolling shouldnot be done first. If used at all,it should be done the followingday when most of the acuteswelling has disappeared.

Ironing is just as the title im-plies. An ordinary electric ironof about five pounds is used. Useover several thickness of clothso that the patent will not beburned. This dry heat appliedover the part with pressure isvery beneficial in some cases. Besure that the pressure is not toogreat: andnot continued too1 long.This ,treatment is good in cases,where the injury is no longerthan the iron and if used follow-ing the, packs will be very bene-ficial.

THANKSGIVING

Thankful for the plenty that our peaceful land hasblessed,

For the rising sun that becons every one to do hisbest,

For the goal that lies before him and the promisewhen he sows

That his hand shall reap the harvest, undisturbedby cruel foes;

For the flaming torch of justice, symbolizing as itburns:

Here none may rob the toiler of the prize he fairlyearns.

Today our thanks we're giving for the riches thatare ours,

For the red fruits of the orchards and the perfumeof the flowers;

For our homes with laughter ringing and our hearthfires blazing bright,

For our land of peace and plenty and our land oftruth and right;

And we're thankful for the glory of the old Red,White and Blue,

For the spirit of our fathers and a manhood that istrue.

Tape used judiciously is an-other essential. Remember thattape is use dto provide the play-er with a support that aNturehas not furnished or that has-been weakened. Tape has an al-most unlimited number of usesalong these lines. In these casesof injured muscle we many timeswant to reinforce the area, pro-tect it or limit its use. To ap-pi.y tape properly with the ideaof doing something for the mus-cles,-:the muscles involved havet'o be studied. Briefly our expe-rience has been this. For pro-tection, where the player hasbeen injuredad and is still subjectto a return of the condition, alattice taping is best. Stripsabout an inch wide are put overthe parts as if woven. -A smallspace should be left between thestrips 'so that small squares ofskin: are visable. For reinforce-ing run the strips paralled to thelong axis of the muscle, and ex-tend the tape across the jointand below for a short distance.Tape is attached to the skin andcannot aid a muscle much unlessiti goes beyond the normal at-tachments of that muscle. Usethe opposite plan for limiting amuscle's action. Put the stripscrossways of the long axis andeQimpletely encircle the area iw"~sibl. Putt the strips on aboutan, inch apart using care not tocompress any arteries or veins.

Putting the strips on at rightatgl!t 'to' the long axis will pre-vent -'the muscle from contract-ing to its fullest extent. Re-member that when a muscle con-tracts it becomes shorter andbulges in the center. Our ideahiere is to keep the bulge down.The tape should be put on with

Keep this in.mind, that when you take thetape off there will be the ten-dency to overdo. This can beguarded against by a gradualcutting down of the number of'stips used or the size.

Don't Worry-Come

The intensive program begunin Toronto, continued in Louis-ville and Denver and culminatedin Kirksville, to secure the na-tional meeting for Des Moines,has borne fruit. Our first wishis that after you have attendedthe 1929 convention you willwant to return soon.

As early as it is we can giveyou reasons.

Don't worry about transporta-tion. We have good roads andfive main trunk lines enter DesMoines.

Don't worry about rooms. Wehave five thousand rooms withbath available for visitors.

Don't worry about conven-ience. Our convention headquar-ters was built especially for theaccommodation of conventions.

Don't worry about practicalwork. The clinic departments ofboth the college and the hospitalare to be placed at your com-mand.

Don't worry about t h eweather. Charles D. Reed, ourlocal government forecastertakes Osteopathic treatment andhas promised ideal weather thatweek.

Don't worry about anything.Just start to make your plansnow to attend your first conven-tion in the state of Iowa, wherewe have had an Osteopathic col-lege and hospital for thirtyyears.

The cornerstone of the origin-al Still College building was laidthirty years ago.

Nothing is longer than time,because it is the measure of eter-nity. Nothing is shorter, becauseit is insufficient for all our plans.

Programs at GamesThrough the efforts of Allen

Nelson and William Hinds, whosolicited advertising from severalof the merchants and businessmen of Des Moines, programswere provided for those who at-tended the game last Saturday.

We appreciate the work ofthese men and the generosity ofthe merchants who made theseprograms possible.

Those who advertised on theprogram, were:

Brown Drug Co., 1505 Grand.Sam's System, 219 Grand.Earl Rarick Barber Shop, 502

Fifteenth.Johnson's Clothing Co., 413

Seventh.C. H. McClintic's Cafe 17th &

Woodland.Jewett Dress Club, 902 Grand.Truman's Shoe Repair. Shop,

618 Grand.Patronize these men whenever

possible.

Sophomores IssueWarning

One morning, following assem-bly, the Sophomores issued aneddict to the effect that all fresh-men must wear their green capsin accordance to the rules laiddown by the sophomores earlierin the year. We noticed thelarge number that appeared atthe football game but since thattime they have been few and farapart. It looks like some of thesophomores have been asleep atthe switch in regard to the en-forcing of the rules that havelong been traditions around theD. M. S. C. O.

It should indeed be a pleasurefor the freshmen to wear thesecaps that represent Still Collegeabout the city of Des Moines.Other schools require the Fresh-man and if the sophomores don'tsoon get busy it will no doubtrest in the hands of the studentbody to see that these traditionsare continued down through theyears.

Mrs. Dewie MichaelSpeaks At AssemblyFollowing several band selec-

tions that "went over big" withthe entire assembly, Dr. H. V.Halladay introduced the speakerof the morning, who is a gradu-ate of the school of Life andHealth of Chicago.

Her message to the students.was timely and full of interestfrom beginning to end, for shehas lived among Osteopaths andknows Osteopathy. Her adviceto the students was to take lifeplus for a time would come whenthey would need it.

A brief history of the life ofDr. G. Houser, the founder ofthe Life and Health School wasfollowed by a description of thesystem that they employ andthat is taught in the school. Itis entirely based on the chemicalneeds (not bought in a drugstore) of the body. First theremust be a complete cleaning-outof all the clinkers or an elim-inative system is employed for aperiod of seven days, before thebuilding process is started. Ofcourse this is to be modified bythe types of individuals withwhich one has to deal. She clas-sified these types as Vital,Mental, Muscular and Calcium.

She further explained thattheir system needed Osteopathsto care for the physical mal-adjustments, and would co-operate for with the Osteopathsthere were no drugs to combat.She contended and advanced theidea to "eat what you want butto take it in a clean body-givenature a chance."

Announcements and a finalband selection brought the as-sembly to a close for anotherFriday morning.

"S" Club Sponsors YellSheets

Friday morning at assemblythe "S" club, composed of theathletes of D. -M. S. C. O. thathave won their letters in ath-letics, distributed printed sheetsof the yells of the college. Thiswas to enable the Freshmen andthe new students of the collegeto become acquainted with thewords of the yells and the col-lege songs. It certainly was afine idea and the "S" club is tobe congratulated on their effortin increasing t h e o d Still"nen."

Atlas Club Wins SigmaSigma Phi Cup

Homecoming thoughts arestill fresh in our mind and wecannot think of anyone who didnot have a good time, in fact tothe appearance of things no-thing was left undone.

At the annual Homecomingdance at the Cotillion ball roomanother year of football for StillCollege which in our considera-tion was a successful year, wasended. . The Knouf-Livingstontwelve piece orchestra furnishedthe music for the festivities ofthe evening. The faculty waswell represented among the twohundred students that attended.It is the consensus of opinion ofthose that attended the affairthat others missed a real Home-coming dance and much credit isto be given the "S" club for itssuccess.

During the intermission ArchBlakely, chairman of the com-mittee on decorations, presentedthe Atlas Club with the SigmaSigma Loving Cup for the bestdecorated fraternity house. Theaward was made on the artisticability displayed and the Osteo-pathic interpretation and repre-sentation and judged by a com-mittee selected by Sigma SigmaPhi.

Just before the bell soundedfor the last half of the dance Dr.H. V. Halladay livened up theparty by tickling the keys, ren-dering the grand old tune of ourcollege song. Everybody clearedtheir throats and sang as theynever sang before which assuresus of plenty of material for ourglee club.

The sounding of twelve gongsbrought the dance and the day'sfun to a most successful end.

Dr. C. N. Clark VisitsD. M. S. C. 0.

Speaking at the assembly Fri-day morning, Nov. 25th, Dr.Clark, business manager of thenational Osteopathic conventioninformed the students thateverything was set for the big-gest and best Osteopathic con-vention ever held. Plans havebeen completed for a programthat is scientific throughout, em-


Addresses Fifth DistrictConvention

Dr. R. B. Bachman, head ofthe Obstetrical department of D.M. S. C. 0. attended the fifthdistrict convention which washeld in Sioux City Nov. 15th andreturned with a very fine re-port of the convention. It wasunusually well attended and fineinterest was shown throughoutthe entire program.

Dr. Bachman spoke in themorning on ,"The Effects ofSacro Iliac Lesion in Labor andon Offspring" and in the after-noon on the "High Points of De-livery from an OsteopathicStandpoint." Those attendingthe convention were greatly im-pressed with his Osteopathic in-terpretation and realized moredeeply the value of Osteopathy inthis field.

The many courtesies thatwere shown Dr. Bachman weregreatly appreciated, and espec-ially those extended by Dr. RayGilmore.

Dr. Woods Speaks InNebraska

Dr. J. M. Woods journeyedintv Nebraska the fifteenth ofNovember to attend the NorthEastern Nebraska OsteopathicAssociation convention whichwas held at Columbus, Neb.

Dr. Woods appeared on theafternoon program and addresseda large assembly of Osteopathson "Common Respiratory Dis-eases." His remarks were veryenthusiastically received, thisbeing an assured fact in view ofthe high type of his work andteaching in D. M. S. C. 0.

Many of those attending wereStill graduates and they appre-ciated the opportunity of listen-ing to Dr. Woods again. Dr.Oscar Meyer and Dr. LymanJohnson asked to have theirgreetings carried to Still and themembers of their class.

More Osteopaths are neededin Nebraska, and many fine loca-tions are yet available. The basiclaw which is in effect, is thatthe state should not discourageany Osteopath who desires agood state in which to practice.

dent of Des Moines Still Collegewho was forced to leave schoolon account of sickness is improv-ing rapidly according to word re-ceived. We expect to see himwith us in the fall.

Homecoming Big Success

Meeting the train Wednesdaynight bearing the Kirksvilleteam and the few members ofthe student body who loyallysupported the team, Still Collegelit the torch of Welcome tousher in the Homecoming cele-bration.

The team, after being safelyquartered at the Chamberlainhotel, was left to secure rest forthe fray, most 'of those accom-panying the team were taken tovarious fraternity houses while afew sought rooms in hotels.

T h e morning brought asteady drizzling rain and a pene-trating wind which lastedthroughout the day and finallyterminated in a heavy snowstorm in the evening. This didnot interrupt any of the plans sothrough the entire programeverything was well attendedEspecially was this true whenthe two teams were so royallyentertained with a Thanksgivingbanquet at the Fort Des Moineshotel by the board of trustees.The band furnished the musicfor the occasion and were theguests of Dr. H. V. Halladay atthe banquet.

The "S" club dance was themain attraction of the eveningand was well attended in spiteof the snowstorm. Most of theKirksville team and those whovisited Des Moines returned onthe special train, but a few re-mained for the entire dance,leaving early Friday morning forKirksville. And so ends anotherHomecoming.

AssembliesStarting the assembly of Nov.

16th with practically every mem-ber of the band present the stu-dent body enjoyed a real musi-cal treat. The entire programwas interspersed with selectionsfrom the band and the overturewhich was rendered in such anexcellent way drew much ap-plause from the student body.We cannot give the band toomuch credit for they have an ex-cellent organization. Followingthis, announcements were madeby various members of commit-tees, on arrangements for thehomecoming celebration. Cap-tain Shaw spoke in regard to theteam and their hopes for victory.He assured the assembly of a vic-tory if they would back theteam. The tryouts for cheer-leaders was held by popular voteand C. A. Reeves was electedcheer-leader. Without a doubt

Tears As Germ-Killers

Tears are not merely a signof sorrow in him who weeps, buta symbol of distress and deathfor any germs that chance to belurking in the crying eye, saysDr. E. E. Free in his Week'sScience (New York). He goeson:

"Of all germ-killing chemicalsknown to biologists it is prob-able that the most effective, andperhaps the one which will provemost useful practically, is thatwhich nature manufactures foruse in tears. At a recent meet-ing of the Section of Ophthal-mology of the Royal Society ofMedicine, in London, Mr. Fred-erick Ridley described experi-ments with this remarkable sub-stance, named lysozyme by itsdiscoverer, Dr. Alexander Flem-ing. One teaspoonful of puresubstance, extracted from humantears, would be enough to im-part antiseptic powers againstcertain eye bacteria to over onehundred gallons of salty water.This same antiseptic has beenfound, Mr. Ridley stated, in thebodies of the white corpuscleswhich circulate in human blood,and which destroy germs that in-vade the body. It has also beenfound in the secretion of the hu-man nose and in other bodily se-cretions, in white of egg, in tur-nips and a few other plants, incertain kinds of fish and in thetears of animals. In many casesof infected eyes, Mr. Ridley re-ported, it has been found thatthe amount of this antiseptic inthe tears is below normal, whichsuggests that eye infections maybe allowed to start by some de-fect of the tear gland resultingin lessened manufacture of theprotective antiseptic. Accordingto Dr Fleming, who was alsopresent at the meeting, it mayprove possible to extract lyso-zyme commercially from white ofegg, so that physicians may useit as a general antiseptic."

We must work happily,through the bitter and the sweetand not fuss so much when sur-rounded by worries. These wor-ries are just busy ant hills afterall. The time always comeswhen a man discovers himself.And then nothing else mattersmuch for it's a splendid world.

Character is made up of smallduties faithfully performed-ofself-sacrifice, of kindly acts oflove and duty. The reward ofone duty is the power to fulfillanother.-(George Eliot.)

CHAPTER IVIn looking over our notes on

the foot and ankle it seems thatwe have almost enough to writea fair sized book. There is thismuch about it. The foot and an-kle are just as important in ath-letics as the brain at the otherend of the body. Many a gameor record has been lost becauseof discomfort in the region ofthe foot or ankle. Oftimes theathlete is not conscious of thecondition, his enthusiasm makinghim temporarily forget it. Theseare the cases that we always ex-pect to come under the wire firstand when we wake up we findthat a dark horse has taken thehonors. The loser has to fallback on the "not-up-to-form" ex-cuse, the real reason being thatthere was some slight foot orankle trouble that held him backjust enough to lose. We mustgive detailed attention to ourathletes' feet. They use them al-most continuously.

Let us first look over the con-ditions we have to meet in thistype of work. Many lesions oc-cur that seem of little impor-tance yet they put a brake on aquick get-a-way. We refer toskin lesions and toe nail condi-tions. Corns are troublesome,painful and often stubborn. Cal-louses come in the same class.Only last week I saw a callous asbig as a dollar and fully a quar-ter of an inch thick on a play-er's foot. He told me he couldn'tmake a quick start on that footat all. He is a high school boy,seventeen years old. Unless hegets rid of the callous he willhave trouble with that foot allthe rest of his life. Blisters be-long in the same class with othermentioned skin conditions. Theseare easily handled if done right.Watch for small pustules appear-ing on the dorsum of the footwhere there are hair follicles.See that the boys take propercare of their nails. An ingrownnail can easily lose the game.Bunions are not so-common inthe young players, but they arenot difficult to acquire and youwill be surprised if you closelyexamine the feet of a group. Ihave seen quite a few cases of"hammer toe" in the young play-ers. These sometimes causetrouble. They should be operat-ed upon at least six weeks be-fore the season begins.

The main cause for these su-perficial lesions is improperlyfitted shoes. There is no use forus to go into a long argument asto the best type of last. Themain thing is to see that theshoe fits well. Not too loose nortight. In either case we knowthat a damage will be done. Lastyear's shoes may still be fairlygood and will perhaps do forpractice or for some of the subs.Beware of last year's shoes. Theinsoles are warped and the coun-ters are broken. They are thebig cause of blisters. corns, cal-louses and bunions. Better givethem to your opponents.

(Continued from page 3)Now let us look under the skin

and see what we are up against.Foot and ankle injuries of themore violent type can be classi-fied into three groups. Sprainsfirst, because in every injurythere will be some sprain. Frac-tures next. Not so common, butpresent often when least sus-pected. Dislocations last. It isunusual to find a dislocation.They occur, but they are rarenow, when we usually go into agame prepared, so that they arealmost unknown. Minor disloca-tions occur in the form of fallenarches or deviations of the tar-sals and occasionally of the in-ferior tibio-fibular articulation.

We must give considerablethought to sprains. It we picturethe sprained ankle we may nothave a very definite idea of whatis wrong. We will have to con-sider first what has been injured.Eliminating bone, for that wouldbe a fracture, we have left liga-ments and muscles with theirtendons. Ligaments come firstbecause of greater frequency.What has happened when we saya ligament is sprained? We havevery few elastic ligaments in thebody. They are placed where acertain amount of rebound isnecessary. The ligaments aroundthe ankle and foot region are hotelastic. The elastic step we liketo refer to is due to perfect re-sponse of muscles. The liga-ments in this region are for thepurpose of holding the bones to-gether. Remember that the as-tragulus, the largest of the tar-sal bones has no muscles at-tached to it. These ligamentsalso prevent movement beyondthe normal range. As soon asyou try to force a joint beyondits normal range of motion some-thing has to give. Ligamentsstand first in line.

Ligaments receive their bloodsupply from the lymph. Wheninjured, Nature's reaction is toforce quantities of lymph intothe tissue so that repair may behastened. Examination of asprained ligament under the mi-croscope shbws separated fibersfloating in lymph. The lymph in-cites the growth of new fiberswhich splice the torn ones, be-come shortened by absorbtionand leave us a thick, short liga-ment. Our first responsibility isto get the proper idea as towhat has gone on around thejoint and then to prevent if pos-sible any marked abnormality inthe hearing process.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOUFootball Abolished At

Still CollegeAt the close of the football

season each college sponsoringthis major sport looks backover the past few weeks withthe object of rating the "time-effort-money" outlay. If footballis a good thing for the institu-tion, at the end of a series ofseasons it should show (1) anincreased interest in the collegeevidenced by a marked additionto the enrollment; (2) either asubstantial balance in the ath-letic fund or a deficit not exceed-ing a sum apportioned for thepurpose. No college will con-tinue a major sport if it costsmore than it is worth.

Football at Still College hasbeen put to the test and hasfailed. There are more thantwo reasons. The first and mostimportant is that in a collegetraining students for a profes-sional life there is too little timefor the active participants tocover the work necessary andtake out sufficient time duringthe four years even though theseason is short, to train, prac-tice, and play the game. Ourstudents haven't the extra timeto play the game and of thosewho do not play, many do nothave the time to attend even thehome games.

Still College has no moderngymnasium. This has been ourgreatest handicap in the develop-ment of a team. Our boys de-serve great praise for theirwork considering our facilitiesfor taking care of them beforeand after their games and prac-tice.

Still College has no athleticfield. We have had to dependon the kidness of the city com-missioner of parks or the super-intendent of the public schoolsfor a place to practice and havehad to pay a fee to some one forthe use of a field for each homegame.

The above facts certainlyshow that the time and effortnecessary to maintain this sportis more than should be required.

During the six years of foot-ball at Still College it was ex-pected that it would cost money.Whatever is figured in the begin-ning of the season has to beamended before the end is insight. The secretary of the col-lege has these figures. It is a

Winter DissectionBegins

Once again the familiar smellpremeates the halls of D. M. S.C. 0., and daily Dr. Halladay in-structs the students in the in-tricacies of the art of dissection.

About sixty of the underclassmen are now busy in thedissection laboratory, securingthe practical knowledge of thebody structure that is so valu-able to the Osteopath.

The class for winter dissectionstarted a week ago and is nowwell under way to the satisfac-tion of the students of the col-lege, for the present system en-ables the students to observe asthey study.

Another valuable asset of thesystem that Dr. Halladay has in-stituted, is his lectures coveringthe day's work which. precedethe actual laboratory dissection.This method has proven to bevery successful through theperiod of years that he has beenin charge of the work at D. M. S.C. O.

Ohio Bound

Plans are now being com-pleted and many of the studentshave signed for the trip that willcarry them home for Christmasvacation. Determined in oneway or another to secure roundtrip advantages, the failure tosecure a bus has not deterredthese men. They are nownegotiating with the Rock IslandLine to secure a special coachfor the trip. If negotiations arecompleted the train will leaveThursday evening bound forColumbus, Ohio. It will returnin time for classes on January 3,1929.

Dr. Schwartz AddressesCedar Rapids OsteosDr. J. P. Schwartz has re-

turned to Des Moines after ashort trip to one of the mostprogressive cities in Iowa wherehe addressed a large assemblyof Osteopaths of the Fifth Dis-trict on the diagnosis and treat-ment of common fractures. Ex-cellent interest was shownthroughout the meeting andOsteopathic enthusiasm was inpredominance.

Dr. Schwartz expressed hispleasure in regard to seeing somany of the recent graduates ofD. M. S. C. O. attending andsupporting such meetings.

It is interesting to note thatwherever our faculty speak orwherever there is an Osteopathicgathering, the graduates of DesMoines Still College are behindthe program striving in everyway to build and advance thescience.

Dr. Halladay Speaks AtMilwaukee, Wis.

Accepting the invitation of theMilwaukee Osteopathic Associa-tion to speak at the districtmeeting Dr. Halladay visited thatcity on Dec. 8th. He spoke atthe afternoon session on Technicusing his flexible spine skeletonto demonstrate and in the even-ing he gave a very interestingtalk on Osteopathy and its rela-tion to athletics.

The meeting was very well at-tended, there being about fiftyof the doctors from the districtand surrounding territory. Theevening program was attendedby several athletic coaches fromvarious parts of the state whoexpressed their pleasure in lis-tening to the possibilities and thesuccess of Osteopathy in ath-letics. During the entire daymany of the attending doctorsexpressed to Dr. Halladay thefine reports that he heard ofD. M. S. C. 0. and said that theywere proud to say that they weregraduates of this college.

A general discussion amongthe Alumni of this school pre-vailed in regard to the A. O. A.convention and practically every-one is making plans to returnfor the convention the thirdweek in June.

Still Outclasses Univer-sity of South DakotaThe basketball season was of-

ficially opened at D. M. S. C. O.Monday night, Dec. 10, when thesmooth running Still college fiveoverwhelmed the South Dakotaaggregation on the Y. M. C. A.floor by a final score of 41-26,

Although this was the firstgame of the season for Still, theteam displayed mid-season form,outplaying the university teamfrom the beginning of the game.

Steady shooting by Benz,Davis, and Hyink gave the Stillteam a 21 to 14 lead as the halfended.

Continuing t h ei r winningstreak in the second period, Stillincreased their lead 31-17 beforethe Coyotes were able to stopthem.

Lang, along with ·the otherguards, presented few opportuni-ties for the South Dakota for-wards, keeping them closelyguarded at all times and forcedthem to hurry their shots.

Jagnow, a new man on thesquad, performed well, and willprove to be a valuable man onthe team.

Every man on the Still teamplayed a stellar game of ball onboth the defensive and the of-fensive, maintaining the leadthroughout the game. Davis,Hyink and Benz proved to be ascoring trio that baffled the uni-versity team.

Pan-Hellenic CouncilThe Pan-Hellenic Council has

held three very satisfactorymeetings this semester, October2, November 22, and December4. At each of these meetingsmatters pertaining to the better-ment of the activities in andabout the college were discussed.Excellent speakers were obtainedto our mutual satisfaction.

The October session was heldat the Phi Sigma Gamma houseon October 8. Joe Lilly, ofLilly's Funeral Home gave us aresume of his big game hunt inAfrica. He included some veryinteresting remarks as to theconditions obtaining in some ofthe European countries, particu-larly France, Spaif, Italy, Greeceand the African countries.

THE IDEAL OF THE BOOK- To know God and do His will;

to accept gratefully what Hesends us and do faithfully whatHe bids us; to pray as we wouldtalk with a friend; to trust wherewe cannot understand, and to be-lieve Him even in things thathurt; to keep unspotted fromthe world's sin and unselfish to-ward the world's need; to lovethose whom we cannot like andto hate no one; to be true whenothers are false, brave in themidst of cowardice, and kind inreturn for injuries; to pity ourenemies, enjoy our friends, andserve our Heavenly Father aboveby Helping His children onearth; in fact to be like Christin love and life, in service andsacrifice-that is salvation thatis Christianity and that is theideal toward which the Book ofBooks ever leads us.

Football Abolished AtStill College

(Continued From Page 1)sum that we can publish but wedo not like to. To be brief, ithas cost more than we expectedand consequently more than itwas worth.

Perhaps we expected the pro-fession to take a greater interestin the college on account of foot-ball. We notice that profession-al schools of our own systemthat do not sponsor football areincreasing their enrollment. Wehave more students than lastyear but we know it is not dueto the fact that we have had afootball team. There may be afew students that select a col-lege on account of the majorsports at that institution, but weare sure that does not applywhere a professional training isparamount.

The most important factor inour college is the student. Ifwe have to take a little fromeach department in order tomaintain a football team, we aretaking a little from the trainingof each student. We are an in-stitution teaching a highly spec-ialized science. It should be andwill be our business in the fu-ture to seek greater prestige anda higher degree of efficiency inOsteopathy rather than in foot-ball. We are not against foot-ball, but we are strong forOsteopathy..

We cannot predict the effecton the enrollment, but if pre-cept and example may be used asa basis for observation we antici-pate a larger student body nextyear.

What about basketball? Wewant to keep it. The trusteesfeel that it can be continuedwithout being detrimental to thebest interests of the college.·Time will tell and we hope thatthe balance will show in itsfavor.

In closing may we offer twoarticles taken from the localnewspapers relative to thischange. The first is from theDes Moines Morning Register ofDecember 11th, the second aneditorial which appeared in theEvening Tribune-Capital of De-cember 13th. They speak forthemselves.

Still Abolishes GridironSport

Believing some athletics ontoo large a scale interfere withthe exact routine characteristicof classes and school room con-duct, in a medical institution oflearning, the board of trustees ofStill College of Osteopathy yes-terday made public an announce-ment that football as a sport forlocal Bonesetters will be abol-ished.

Inadequate gymnasium facili-ties. too much financial expendi-

ture and little or no income fromthe sport were other reasons ad-vanced by the trustees for theiraction.

On top of the announcementcame last night the informationthat Coach Frank Rainey Sutton,doing his seventh year of tutor-ing here, will sever his connec-tions with the Osteopaths a ndseek duties elsewhere, probablyin the east. Sutton, a graduateMarietta, 0., college, has been incharge of football and basketballat Still. In addition, he was re-quired to teach a few of the ex-act sciences.

Sutton, like some othersamong the student body, was ofthe opinion that the edict likelywould effect enrollment at thelocal school in the future, par-ticularly discouraging the scien-tifically professional mindedwho took to football and basket-ball for benefit o fexercise.

Basketball, too, it developedwas on trial but the trustees de-cided, it was said, to maintainthe indoor sport for another sea-son, at least.

One thing about football atStill during Sutton's regime wasthe unusual number of Mariettacollege men who captained thevarious elevens. First, it wacPaul Howard Sweyey. Then,came Robert W. Murphy andonly during the season justclosed David N. O. Shaw servedas pigskin pilot. All, eithergraduated from Marietta collegeor attended classes there.

The EnrollmentStill college has abolished

football. It will be interestingto see how the experiment worksout.

The sports followers and ath-letic officials predict that therewill be a falling off in enroll-ment. It is yet to be proved thatthis will result, and certainlywhether any students who do notreturn will be such as ought toremain, after all.

We suspect that the value ofathletics as advertising for col-leges is overestimated. Surelybut few come to spend severalyears at a school because of afew months of football, and littleis claimed for any other sport inthe way of publicity.

The classic example is Colum-bia university, which did nothave football for many years.During that time it grew to havethe largest enrollment in theworld.

Take the championship foot-ball teams this fall. For almostthe first time in history CarnegieTech, New York university, andseveral others have the strongestteams. How in the world didthese ins titutions exist at allwhen their teams were not win-ning?

Enrollments do not growwhen teams win, and they do notdecrease when they fail. If ourcolleges prospered on athleticsand fail when athletics fail,something would be wrong withthem.

In Still's case, the reasoning is

sound. Still is a strictly techni-cal school. There is no time forfooling in an institution that istraining men for a profession. Notime can be wasted, and most ofthe students are there for theimmediate purpose of acquiringcertain knowledge. Probablynone of them were attracted byfootball except some of the play-ers, and if there are any of thesewho are not in school to learnthe school is well rid of them.

Brown Derby Missing?

All the students will remember the merriment that heldsway a few weeks ago when Dr.Halladay "Our Master of Cere-monies" was presented with aLITTLE Brown Derby at an as-sembly.

Many of the students, especial-ly a certain few, have been de-cidedly disappointed in it's con-tinued absence. Dr. Halladaysays the political race (not theKentucky Derby) is over andanyway he prefers a black one.

Mrs. Carney rushed into herliving room. "Oh, Walter," shecried as she panted for breath."I dropped my diamond ring offmy finger and I can't find it any-where."

The Still college basketballteam won its second game of theseason, defeating the Penn col-lege five of Oskaloosa on the DesMoines U court Dec. 17th by thescore of 49- to 28.

Still took the lead from the be-ginning toss and maintained itthroughout the entire game. Atthe .end of the first half Still led27-14.

Fred Benz and Capt. HaroldDavis led the attack, both play-ing a splendid floor game. Davisand Benz counted eight fieldgoals. The former also droppedin five throws from the foul lineto annex the scoring honors ofthe evening. Still, on the mostpart, presented a fine defenseand displayed some excellentguarding.

Still's dribbling attack mademany openings for the forwardsto sift through and with Benzdriving in for repasses the Stillattack was relentless.

Hyink proved a capable floorman and the other two players,Jagnau and Lang completed awell balanced team that broughtanother victory to D. M. S. C. O.

Michigan State Board

The mid-year examination,given by the Michigan StateBoard of Osteopathic Examiners,will be held in the City Hall, atBattle Creek, Michigan, on Jan-uary 29, 30 and 31.

The secretary of the Board isDr. H. Conklin, City Bank Build-ing, Battle Creek, Michigan.

Vacation Clinics

The various clinics of the col-lege are working overtime totake care of the vacation rush.The abundance of new patientsseeking Osteopathic care neces-sitates the holding of specialclinics to care for them. Theclinic sessions are held on Mon-day, Wednesday and Friday andmany of the students have foundit advantageous to remain intown during the vacation.

The work in the obstetricaldepartment has given many ofthose who remained several un-usual cases. These have provenvery instructive to the studentsand they feel that their time hasbeen repaid by experience thatwill prove valuable as practicingOsteopaths.

Gift To Dr.. S.S. and EllaD. Still

A unique Christmas gift hasbeen given to Dr. S. S. and EllaD. Still by the students of D. M.S. C. O. as a momento to thefounders of the Still College. Itwas a book of parchment boundin sheepskin in the colors of thecollege, and containing the sig-nature of every student, the fac-ulty, the board of trustees, thehospital staff and the members ofSigma Sigma Phi.

This gift was sponsored bythe members of Sigma SigmaPhi, national honorary fraternitywith Ray E. McFarland incharge of the arrangement of thebook.

Mid-Year ClassThe graduation date for the

mid-year class has been definite.:ly set for Jan. 17th. Plans arerapidly nearing completion forcommencement exercises whichwill be held in the Hoyt ShermanPlace.

Most of the class have re-mained at school during the va-cation completing arrangementsand studying for state boardexaminations. Every member ofthe class has completed all therequired treatments and neces-sary work to graduate.

Future plans of the class roleinclude internships, while somewill go direct into the field.

Mfchigan Decides inFavor of Osteopaths

The decision in favor of theOsteopaths in Michigan entitlingthem to possess and dispensenarcotics is clearly set forth inthe following decision by JudgeTuttle:

Myron A. Hostetler, plaintiff,a duly licensed osteopathic phy-sician under the laws of Michi-gan, on September 17, 1928,made application to respondent,the Honorable Fred L. Wood-worth, Collector of InternalRevenue of the United States forthe first district of Michigan, forregistration under the HarrisonNarcotic Act, so-called, and of-fered to pay the federal taxtherefor. The Collector declinedto receive the money or to allowthe registration of the Relatorand to issue a permit to him todispense narcotic drugs upon theground that Deputy Commission-er Nutt in charge of the NarcoticDivision at Washington, D. C.,had refused to recognize the de-cision in this court of Dawkins,District Judge, in the case ofWalter P. Bruer, Relator, vs.Fred L. Woodworth, Collector ofInternal Revenue, Respondent.(Bruer vs. Woodworth 22 Fed.)2nd 577, as the law affectingosteopaths other than Dr. Bruer,in the District of Michigan.Thereupon Relator filed this suitfor a writ of mandamus to com-pel the Collector to comply withhis demand.

The record in the instant caseis identical with the record inthe case of Walter P. Bruer, Re-lator, vs. Fred L. Woodworth,Collector of Internal Revenue,Supra, except a difference inparty Relator, who is also a dulylicensed osteopathic physicianunder the laws of the State ofMichigan. In the Bruer case,supra, my learned associate,Judge Dawkins, in a well consid-ered opinion held that the Re-lator as a practitioner of osteo-pathy is a physician within themeaning of Act No. 92 of thePublic Acts of the State of Mich-igan for the year 1923 (StateNarcotic Law) entitling him topossess or dispense the narcoticsmentioned in Section 1 of saidact in the course of his profes-sional practice. This Court be-lieves that the opinion of JudgeDawkins in the Bruer case cor-rectly states the principles of lawinvolved. I adopt and follow thatopinion.

Since the decision by JudgeDawkins in the Bruer case, the

NEW USE FOR SUNLIGHTThe modern use of sunlight

as a healing agent is a re-discov-ery of knowledge which at oneperiod of history was widely dis-seminated. Nevertheless, themodern use of sunlight is en-titled to rank as in some waysa new departure, for it is basedon observation and on studywhich belongs peculiarly to thepresent stage of the evolution ofscience. The story is among themost interesting and romantic inthe annals of medicine. Someten years ago, when Europe wasengaged in the final struggles ofthe great war, the discovery wasmade that the lack of animalfats, which had resulted fromthe enormous consumption of fatin the manufacture of high ex-plosives, had reduced human re-sistance to a number of diseases.Rickets was widespread through-out the central empires; tuber-culosis was taking a greatly in-creased toll of life in all the bel-ligerent countries. When thewar ended efforts were made tosupply fats, in the form of codliver oil, to the children ofVienna and other stricken cities,and then the strange observationwas made that this supply,though apparently essential dur-ing the winter months, becameless necessary as summer ad-vanced. The first glimmeringswere received of the truth thatanimal fats are, in some re-spects at any rate, an equivalentof sunlight in the balance ofhealth, or, in other words, thatlight is a food. Only eight yearshave passed since the first an-nouncements of this discoverywere made, yet in these eightyears a new science has beenestablished and a new therapyintroduced.

A New YearThe advent of a new year is

singlely of the utmost import toDes Moines Still College and toOsteopathy.

Based on a history of ascientific training in Osteopathyunequaled by any college thathas been established for theexpressed purpose of perpetuat-ing Osteopathy, Des Moines StillCollege has advanced steadily tothat high level that its foundersintended. It has ever been theavowed purpose of those whoteach in the college to place D.M. S. C. 0. to the fore.

It is well to look back, as ameans of measuring our progressand development, but it is everour purpose to advance keepingthe ship of the school on an evenkeel and the sails unfurled tothe winds of a broad and truescientific Osteopathic viewpoint.Time in itself is but a measure-ment of space and never one inthe history of Still College canit be said that a radical movehas been instituted that woulddeter the future of the school.

Today Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy stands on a parwith an institution established totrain men and women to carefor and to aleviate human ills.Thinking not of yesterday butof the tomorrow those at thehelm advance the needs, meetthe requirements of a greaterOsteopathy in a manner that ismost pleasing to every one inter-ested in this institution.

Each week brings reports fromevery state in regard to the finework the graduates of thisschool. They are progressive inevery phase of the science andare ever ready to serve thosethat seek their services no mat-ter from what walk of life.

Osteopathy is advancing andwill advance until that day whenit is universally recognized.

The whole modern trend is to-ward a broader understandingof every science, accepting thatwhich has received the acid testof time and has proven its worthin its specific place. Enhancedby a view such as this Osteopathywill grow even beyond the fond-est hopes of the "Old Doctor"yet be founded on his funda-mental and basic principles.

So with the advancement ofthe new year let it be said thatDes Moines Still College has con-tinued to progress and Oste-opathy has accepted its respon-sibility to mankind and has ad-vanced according to the truescience that it is.

The following is a letter re-ceiveu by one or tne stuuents otthe college:

December 13, 1928Dr. Lillian B. Tracey,c/o Still College of Osteopathy,Des Moines, Iowa.Dear Doctor:

Your letter of December 10 re-ceived and contents noted.

In answer to your inquirieswould state that there are atleast fifty cities within a radiusof fifty miles of Detroit, thatwould welcome Osteopathic Phy-sicians and Surgeons. In fact,the city of Detroit could veryeasily take care of all the mem-bers of the graduating class. Theprofession in Detroit would bemore than pleased to welcomethem.

I would advise you, one andall, to come to Detroit and lookaround.

If Detroit is too large a city, Iwould then advise Flint, Pontiac,Royal Oak, Lansing or Saginaw.The principle industry in thesecities just mentioned is that ofthe automobiles.

Michigan wants Des MoinesStill College graduates for thereason that they are progressiveand aggressive. They alwaysmake the grade.

Enclosed please find a copy ofJudge Tuttle's decision, regard-ing the Narcotic situation inMichigan. I would like for youto give same to Dr. J. P.Schwartz.

Kindly remember me to Doc-tors Schwartz and Marshall.

If there is any way that I canbe of any service to you in thefuture, or if you want any addi-tional information, kindly let meknow. I remain,

Fraternally,Mark Herzfeld, D. 0.

Chapter VIn taking care of ankles in

athletic work we have two kindsof treatment to consider. First,protective and second, curative.In enlarging on the first let mecall your attention to the factthat while you have perhaps notnoted it, there is as much varia-tion in ankles of the male of thespecies as there is in the fe-male. Some boys or young menhave ankles built to withstandthe extra strain put upon themin vigorous contests. Otherscan take part in one type ofathletics and no other, the rea-son being in their physicalmakeup. Babe Ruth recentlyvisited ues vioines ana went outto Drake and took a light work-out with the Drake footballsquad. Ossie Solem, the coach,said afterward that Babe as abackfield man was a fine batter.Babe's ankles couldn't stand thestrain. There are many BabeRuths playing football whenthey should not be. Now whenwe look over the gang that hasresponded to the call for foot-ball men we look them over.With half an eye you can pickout the ones that will sufferfrom ankle sprains through thewhole season. These men maybe necessary on the team and ifso we have to meet the condi-tion with an outside aid of somesort. Don't pass over this ankleinspection lightly. Your pre-game work will save you a lotof post-game worry. Two yearsof carefully kept statistics provethat fifteen percent of footballinjuries are to the ankle and

circumstances are not sufficientlyheavy to stand the violence ofsudden stops and twists thatcome in football. We must pro-tect the outer part of the anklejoint more on this account. An-other thing to think of is thatthere is only one muscle thatcrosses the ankle externally thatadds strength to this side of theankle. It is the peroneuslongus. The joints between thetalus, calcaneus, navicular andcuboid are secured by strong lig-aments that need very little aidand this small amount of protec-tion they do need is taken careof in the proper application oftape primarily intended tostrengthen the ankle joint. Writeto Johnson and Johnson at NewBrunswick, N. J., and ask for acopy of "Adhesive plaster ban-daging in Athletics," and turn topage thirteen. This type of ban-dage is used a great deal butwith a modification that makesit better. Do not let the ends ofthe tape overlap along the dor-sum of the ankle. Leave an openspace to prevent the compressionof the blood vessels along thedorsum. This is an excellentbandage to use in the care of aninjured ankle. There is anotherbandage illustrated on page fif-teen that is best in the caseswhere the lateral ligaments areweak.

We do not like the use of thethird strap put on in the figureeight style. This binds the endsdown, but prevents free circula-tion. If used it should be puton with the idea of holding num-ber one in place and not for thepurpose of binding the ankle.The double bandage as shown onpage sixteen is used in the thinligament and muscle cases.

Volume 6 January 15th, 1929 Number 131.i r --Student Body Favors

AssembliesThe first assembly after

Christmas vacation was of de-cided importance to the studentassemblies of the college. Dr.Johnson, taking charge of theprogram spoke of the assembliesof the past semester, but ques-tioned the advisability of takingthe students' time for an assem-bly on Friday mornings nextsemester. The decision of thequestion was left to the studentbody, who voted unanimously infavor of the continuance of as-semblies. Dr. Jmented on the fine conduct of thestudents as a self governing bodyand later spoke about the goodstanding enjoyed by the studentsin the city, of which he and thefaculty are proud.

Regarding the assemblies ofthe new semester, a program isto be outlined and a member ofthe faculty will have completecharge. This will assure the stu-dents of a different type of en-tertainment each Friday yet aprogram that they will' not wantto miss. The whole idea will de-pend on the co-operation of thestudents, and the interest of thefaculty in their desire to makethe assemblies a success.

Dr. H. V. Halladay told aboutthe letter received from Dr. S. S.Still in regard to the book sentas a momento from the college.All were glad to know that itfound such favor and of the joythat it brought to Drs. S. S. andElla Still.

Reverting to the band inwhich we know that Dr. Halla-day is deeply interested he ex-plained his plans for a futuresaxaphone sextet and the secur-ing of more music for the band.We indeed look forward to theirappearance and anticipate futuremusical programs.

Senior AssemblyChanging the custom of pre-

senting the special awards ongraduation night to the SeniorAssembly day has added much tomake the assembly a success.

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, dean olthe college, made the awards fol-lowing the reading of the classwill by C. V. Moore. Those olthe class receiving special award'were Lillian Tracey, Ray E. MeFarland, Carl Seastrand, C. VMoore, C. S. McMurray, Roy ALypps and J. R. Shaffer.

Mid-Year Class Banquet

Realizing that graduation wasbut a few days away thi entiresenior class gathered at theGrant Club Friday evening at6:30 o'clock in response to theinvitation issued to the class bythe faculty and the trustees ofthe college.

The entire scene was repletewith joviality and festivity, eachtrying to outdo the other in re-partees and non-commitals of theevening's occasion. A group ofmusicians from Lincoln highschool furnished delightful en-tertainment during the program.

The faculty, with Dr. J. M.Wood officiating in the capacityof toastmaster, provided an even-ing that will long be remembered

l by every member of the graduat-ing class. Coach F. R. Sutton

) appeared on the program, speak-ing on the subject "Before Grad-

for graduation are that a student inust actually deliver two cases, lrAct as assistant of fiveo or- more-and have one hundred fifty 1credit points. Each member of lthe outgoing class have deliveredan average of four cases, hasassisted in eight cases and hastwo hundred forty-three creditpoints. Statistics in themselvesare a proof and especially is thistrue in the consideration of theobstetrical department of thecollege.

During the Christmas vacationall who remained were busy,many on two and three cases inas many days. Two days foundthe assistants of the obstetricaldepartment on seven cases, fourof them being within six hours.This is a record of which anyschool can be justly proud, tosay nothing of the variety of thecases.

The January class of 1929 ap-proaches the final day of theirstudent life at D. M. S. C. 0.and with it comes the annualselection of two members for theSigma Sigma Phi awards for ser-vice and proficiency, the formerbeing awarded to Roy A. Lypps,and the latter to James R.Shaffer.

To qualify for either awardthe student must have spent hisor her entire four years at D. M.S. C. 0.

The basis on which the pro-ficiency award is made shall bethe individual's high degree ofproficiency from all standpoints,such as: general attitude, per-sonality, attentiveness, adapta-bility, courtesy, osteopathic tech-nical efficiency, and loyalty.


New Students

Mid year class enrollment hasstarted and the school looks for-ward once again to a new classvithin its halls. Several studentsare in town and some have visit-ed the school to make arrange-ments for enrollment.

Correspondence from othersand from the alumni indicatethat more will arrive within theweek.- This- ill not be a recordbreaking class but it is expectedthat there will be more thanenough to replace those that aregraduating in the January class.

Not only the alumni of D. M.S. C. 0. are sending in new menbut other field members as well,and the school officials appre-ciate their efforts and interests.Every one knows that the moreOsteopaths there are in the fieldthe stronger the profession.

Don't wait, send in your pros-pective names and let us knowwhen the men will arrive so wewill be able to meet them at thetrain.

Registration for the mid-yearclass will be January 18th and19th with class work beginningon the 21st.

Review Course

Dr. Samuel Fomon of Chicagohas returned to D. M. S. C. O.and is again conducting theFomon Medical Review course.The class started on the after-noon of Jan. 4th and will con-tinue until the subjects are com-pletely covered in every branchof the Medical Science which willbe after February 1st.

Class is held every Monday,Wednesday and Friday evenings,for those who cannot attend theafternoon sessions, all day Satur-day and Sunday. Some take ad-vantage of both sessions andthereby derive a more thoroughreview.

The class this year is large andthose who are taking the coursevalue it not only for the knowl-edge derived but it also enablesthe student to see each subjectfrom a different angle as it ispresented. So, too, the student isable to study each subject as awhole and as related to othersubjects.

have finally gotten back. BillMcKinley, who was last to arriveas usual, finally peeled in lastnight three days late for school.Taylor had a hard time tellingwhether Bill was a colored orwhite boy. We took a vote anddecided if we scrubbed hardenough we might make Bill cleanagain. "Cookie Moore" wasmuch relieved to see Mac comein as "Cookie's" feet were sosore he walked like he had rheu--matism.

Thanks to brother "DukeWire" for the bobcat skin.

We are in doubt as to whetherMcDonald is really Scotch or not.You know he got himself a derby,I wonder if he counts his moneytowards him.

Ken Ward received a cardfrom the following boys whowere in Canada: Cecil Mussel-man, Frank Dornbush, EddieRickenbacker, Harold McDonaldand Jack Campbell. 'We wonderwhat they were doing when theysent the card.

Ask Dornie about the inspec-tion office.

Ed Swartzbaugh is still enjoy-ing the food that he broughtfrom home.

John Anderson has been in avery humorous mood, I wonderwhy?

Mikan, will you ever forgetNew Year's Eve?

Nosseck is still trying to tellthe boys just what to do. Morepower to you, Turk, old boy.

Jack Campbell is still in doubtas to the truth of WarrenSwartzbaugh's statement aboutNew Year's Eve.

The Atlas Club boys are en-joying a banquet at YounkersTea Room in honor of Dr. Lipps.Dr. Campbell was toastmaster.The program consisted of talksgiven by the following: Dr.Johnson, J. P. Schwartz, Marsh-all J. L. Schwartz, HalladayParks, Trimble, Lindbloom. Dr.Lipps spoke to us. Then a fewremarks from the toastmaster.

The holiday season addedmany new members to the wellknown "spat" club of which KerWard was the originator. Thefollowing members are: GrancMogiel, Ken Ward. Other active,are: McDonald, Wright, Campbell, Harmon and Fedson.

Most of the boys had the op-portunity to go home during theChristmas holidays, while somemore chose to stay in the villageand "make their Whoopie." Ap-parently St. Nick knew whereeach of them were by the dis-plays of socks, neckties, etc.around the house. But nobodyis devoid of forgetting somethings and Santa surely madeone bad omission when he neg-lected to include boxing glovesfor Spaulding and Routzhan anda bicycle for John Wright.

"Hart Schaffner & Marx Cud-den" and Red Lang were alsoamong those who remained here.Suppose they don't like to rideon trains, loved school too muchto leave, (OR) possibly there'sanother reason. Now I'll askyou one.

Anybody want to buy any livestock? See Nick Gill; he bringsthe latest report on the Ohio livestock commission. But whereis the man that wanted to sell"that duck"? He must havea proposition or two as the "oleB. R." is plenty obese.

IS IT SAFE TO HAVE TONSILSREMOVED?

This question was asked notlong ago in a meeting composedmostly of women. The questionis frequently asked and deservesa careful consideration answer.It is neither fair to patients norto physicians to answer such aquestion. yes or no.

Improvements in surgical tech-nique during recent years havebeen mostly in matters that per-tain to safety rather than meresurgical results. As an example,consider the operation for Goitre,thyroidectomy. A decade agothis operation was attended by avery high mortality. Now it isquite exceptional that a fatalityresults from the procedure. Thislessened mortality has not beenbrought about so much by im-proved operating technique as bybetter preparation of patients foroperation. There has been muchresearch into the causes of theformer high mortality attendingthyroidectomy. Now patientsoften undergo weeks of prepara-lion before the operation is per-formed.

In all surgery other thanemergency, careful attention isgiven to putting the patient inthe best possible condition be-fore operation. Even in emer-gency surgery precautions aretaken, such as, the more frequentuse of transfussions, limiting theamount of work till later, etc.,that increases the safety for thepatient to a wonderful degree.

Now specifically as to the re-moval of tonsils (tonsillectomy):The same degree of carefulnessabout preparation of the patientis customary. In children, whoare anaemic, preparatory medi-cation is often given. In personswho may have a tendency tobleed freely, coagulation test ofthe blood is made before opera-tion. Treatment may be givento lessen this tendency. In manyother ways, precautions aretaken to lessen the actual dangerof operating.

It is wrong to tell a personthere is absolutely no danger inany surgery. In even the leastimportant operations there is al-ways some little element of risk.In tonsillectomy, as well as in

- other surgery, this element hasbeen reduced to the minimum.

So in answering the questionas to the risk in removing ton-sils, one can say the risk is re-duced to approximately onechance in a thousand. Comparedwith the danger of not removingdiseased tonsils the operation for+Iiniv -rnmh· rvu-l SC ciminontiv irnfin

(Continued from page 1)The basis on which the service

award shall be made is the in-dividual's loyalty to the collegeand to the profession from allstandpoints, such as participa-tion in college activities, leader-ship, initiative, constant strivingfor the betterment of the collegeand the Science, interest in thework of the American Osteo-pathic Association, must haveexerted himself in the develop-ment of a harmonious atmos-phere between the powers of theinstitution and the student body.

The committee on Awards con-sisted of Dr. J. P. Schwartz, rep-resenting the Board of Trusteesof the College, Dr. C. W. John-son, as Clinican of the College,Dr. John M. Woods representingthe Faculty of the college, and aSenior B member of the fra-ternity.

These awards were presentedin Senior Assembly Friday morn-ing.

A new use for the "zipper"arrangement that has become sopopular on tobacco pouches,overshoes and traveling bags, issuggested in the news that awoman on Long Island has justreturned home from her fourthCaesarian operation. The fouroperations have been performedduring the last six years and thefour children are living. Thesurgeons should seriously con-sider the application of "hook-less fasteners" to save time andt.rnllbhi.

The Inventive Age

"The Scientific American"states that a person poring overthe old files in the United StatesPatent Office at Washingtonfound a letter written in 1833which illustrated pretty well thelimitations of human imagina-tion.

The letter was from an oldemployee of the patent office of-fering his resignation to thehead of the department.

His reason was that, as every-thing inventable had been invent-ed, the patent office would soonbe discontinued and there wouldbe no further need of his serv-ices or the services of his fellowclerks. He therefore decided toleave before the blow fell.

As we look back in review ofthe many inventions which havecome into use since 1833 we real-ize the limitation of human im-agination and in our musing wewonder what the next ten yearswill bring forth in the way of.new inventions.

It almost seems to us as it didto the old employee of the patentoffice, that the saturation pointhas nearly been reached, but wehave only to look about us a bitor scan the magazines and pa-pers to learn that there are newand wonderful inventions comingout every day.

The tired business man camehome tired after a long day atthe office. The tired businessman bowed his head to ask theblessing and all was quiet.

"This is Mr. Jones speaking,"he began.

In all those things we hear?Why rip the lining out of Brown

And make Smith look soqueer?

You cannot always tell, my boy,It may be all a lie;

So just step around behind sometree

And watch yourself go by.

You'll find that things look dif-ferent

And crooked p a t h s seemstraight,

late.Perhaps your wife's own hus-

So just step around behind sometree

And watch yourself go by.

THE LOG BOOK

"THE OFFICELABORATORY"

Compiled ByZOE ALICE INNES

INTRODUCTIONThis manual has been pre-

pared for the use of physicianswho would like to have readilyavailable the aid which simplelaboratory procedures can givein establishing diagnosis.

The work is intended to sup-plement standard texts with in-formation condensed and classi-fied for quick reference, and hasbeen compiled with the needs ofthe busy general practitioner inmind, rather than from thestand-point of the biochemist.

The tests given comprise thosewhich have been found most use-ful in practical work, and willpoint the direction in which fur-ther search should proceed, but,it is conceded, should not betaken as a basis for researchwork.

The quantitative estimationswill enable the Doctor to checkthe progress of cases in whichsugar, albumin, acidosis, orhydrochloric acid deficiency arefactors, with sufficient accuracyfor all practical purposes.

Clinical application is omitted,as being beyond the scope of amanual of this nature. For thisinformation refer to standardtexts. Todd's "Clinical DiagnosisBy Laboratory Methods," pub-lished by W. B. Saunders Co.,Philadelphia, is recommended.

Blood chemistry, serology, andbacterial culture are higherbranches for which the generalpractitioner usually has neithertime nor equipment, and shouldnot be attempted, in any case, ex-cept by trained workers. Wheresuch procedures are indicatedby the findings from tests heregiven, they should be sent toproperly equipped and staffedlaboratories.

This is only a framework, the"bare bones," as it were, of officelaboratory work. It is believed tosupply a class of informationwhich has not, to the writer'sknowledge been compiled in justthis form hitherto.

GENERAL DIRECTIONSMost laboratory workers know

that accurate technique is essen-tial for dependable results, butthe need for laboratory cleanli-ness does not seem to be so gen-erally understood. Each is awaste of time without the other.

The laboratory should be(lusted daily. Dirty glass, inwhich the remains of old testshave dried, will vitiate all find-ings and make the work done notonly useless but frequently detri-mental, as it will give false in-formation. Thorough washingand rinsing in running waterBEFORE glass has dried wilkeep it in condition to be usecat all times, and take only a fenseconds. New glass should bEwashed in hot soap and water, t(which a little ammonia or washing soda has been added, thoroughly rinsed in running waterand dried. Drying may be don(by putting the wet glass in -

COLD oven, and supplying low uheat for an hour or more. Avoid vletting a draft of air strike the chot glass and do not remove tfrom the oven until partly cool. bVery dirty glass or that in which gchemicals have dried should be acleaned in Chromic Acid Mixture. t

Dust should be wiped from the ulip of regent bottles before pour- 1ing, and care taken that the Pcorks are not interchanged, a

Contaminated glassware and Einfectious material should be im-mersed in 5% Phenol or Bi-chloride for at least two hours vbefore cleaning or final disposi- stion. This applies also to con-tainers and apparatus used forurine showing pus, since, untildiagnosis is made, the cause is rnot known and may be virulent.Do not use bichloride for' spiturn.

In cases where definite meas-urements are given, they should lbe accurately followed, as thereagents are standardized to re-spond in that proportion.

Laboratory findings should al--ways be considered in connec-tion with the facts brought outby the physical examination. 1Negative laboratory results,while the symptoms point per-sistently to a certain condition,should be disregarded, as indi-eating either an anomaly in thecase under consideration orfaulty laboratory technique.

Pathologic findings in randomspecimens of urine should bechecked by the examination of amixed 24-hour specimen beforedrawing conclusions.

Urine which cannot be exam-ined immediately should be pre-served, as it begins to changesoon after voiding. The mostpractical preservative is BoricAcid, a large pinch, (approxi-mately 5 grams) to each 4ounces. For a 24-hour specimenthe patient should be instructedto mix a heaping teaspoonfulinto the first voiding. This willpreserve chemical values and in-hibit bacterial growth.

A routine urinalysis, a hemo-globin estimation, and a whitecell count should be done foreach new patient. Much infor-mation as to the general condi-tion of the system will be ob-tained, and the whole can be car-ried out in twenty minutes if thework is well systematized.

URINALYSISA routine analysis should be

made on a freshly voided speci-3 men where possible, and shouldL include Color, Transparency, Re-s action, Specific Gravity, Albumin,

Sugar, and Microscopic exam-t ination.

In making tests, unless defi-- nitely instructed to "overlay,", see that all ingredients are wellr mixed.1 Quantitative determina-1 tions must be made on the mixedv 24-hour output. Patients shoulde be given definite instructions aso to time of taking, measuring and

Dr. D. L. Clark VisitsD. M. S. C O.

Dr. D. L. Clark of the A. O. A.spoke at the assembly on themorning of January 18th andbrought a message of value tothe student body that was re-ceived with true Osteopathic en-

' thusiasm.'2& __Di p _Are-marks in regard to the studentsand their future professional at-titude he advised the students totake advantage of all subjectstaught in the school. The pres-ent requirements and-the betterequipment gives every studentthe chance to go into the fieldwell rounded in the science andable to compete with others inthe healing art. There is no rea-son for anyone failing to makegood. If the Osteopaths, he con-tinued as a matter of co-opera-tion had twenty-five percent co-operation they could accomplishmore in the next five years inthe upbuilding of Osteopathy inevery phase of the work thanthey have done in the pastthirty. This of course is basedon the modern trend and advanc-ing knowledge in the science-and all due credit to the pioneerswho have worked so faithfully.

He stressed the fact that suc-cess depends largely on servicerendered. A doctor should joinvarious organizations and at alltimes be an asset to the com-munity in which he lives.

Announcements and the schoolsong brought the assembly to aclose.

Mid-Year Enrollmenmt

Once again the new replacesthe old and with their comingthe new freshman class brings afine group of students to thehalls of D. M. S. C. O. We areproud of this new class and ex-tend them our warmest welcome.

The class this semester willreplace the graduating class inan excellent manner, in as far asnumbers are concerned. Andtoo, many of the class have hadprevious college work whichmakes it a certainty that muchwill be expected of them.

Many of the old students whofound it necessary to drop outfor a year have returned so withthe registration of the old andthe new students the office forcehas had many rush hours.Everything was handled in a finemanner and the new semester isnow well under way.

Effects of the new words arewearing away and the new stu-dents are gradually acclimatingthemselves to the surroundings.

Class of January, 1929The graduation exercises of

the mid-year class was held atthe Hoyt Sherman Place on theevening of January 17, 1929. Anunusually large number offriends and relatives attendedthe exercises.

Judge Utterback GivesSenior Address

The address by Judge HubertUtterback was one of the bestever heard by a graduating class-of-D M-S,. --C. 0. - The simplicity_of the delivery, yet explicite inits phrazing commanded the at-tention of everyone that attend-ed this mid-year graduation.

Judge Utterback has been aninstructor in Still College foreighteen years which he hasthoroughly enjoyed, stating thatit has enabled him to come incontact with youth of courage.He expressed the desire of leav-ing one thought with the Janu-ary class that would carrythrough the future and so chooseas the main theme of his address"Children of Fortune."

Referring to our nation andstating what it meant to many,first liberty and second opportun-ity and education.

He continued saying that allhould strive to reach a useful)lace in the world and to aidthers whenever it is possible.Ve should at all times hold our-elves above reproach for there:an only result a wreck on theea of life if the moral laws arelisobeyed.

Closing his address he told theclass that success is the rule andnot the exception. It is the ave-rage man who will make the suc-cess for he works and applies thefundamental ideals of life.

Irrevocable MistakesA young man was taking a

medical examination. The ex-aminer asked, "How much is adose of croton oil?" "A tea-spoonful," replied the candidate.The professor said nothing, butafter a while it struck the stu-dent that he had made a mistake.He said, "Professor, I want tochange my answer to that ques-tion." "It's too late," repliedthe instructor, looking at hiswatch. "Your patient has beendead fifteen minutes."

Our greatest glory is not innever failing, but in rising everytime we fall.

The Wisdom of Lincoln

What constitutes the bulwark ofour own liberty and independ-ence?

It is not our frowning battle-ments, our bristling seacoast,our great army and our navy.

Our reliance is in the love of lib-erty which God has planted inus.

Our defense is in the spiritwhich prizes liberty as theheritage of all men in alllands everywhere.

Destroy this spirit, and we haveplanted the seeds of despotismat our own doors.

Those who deny freedom toothers deserve it not for them-selves, and, under a just God,cannot long retain it.

This country, with its institu-tions, belongs to the peoplewho inhabit it.

Why should there not be a pati-ent confidence in the ultimatejustice of the people?

Is there any better or equal hopein the world?

-Abraham Lincoln.

A serious person reminds meof a car that is geared too high.It's difficult to handle in con-gested traffic.

Lincoln's associates couldn'tunderstand him at those terriblemoments when the fate of a na-tion hung in the balance-be-cause he would so many timesabruptly break into a seriousconference with a funny story,or some reading from the bookof some current humorist. Butwe can all understand now.

Eventually we can all under-stand the one who bravelylaughed and lifted us up whilehis heart worked out its task be-hind the stage.-Mathews.

I like to see a man proud ofhis city, and I like to see himlive so that it is proud of him.-Lincoln.

'Tis the human touch in thisworld that counts,

The touch of your hand andmine,

Which means far more to thefainting heart

Than shelter and bread andwine:-

For shelter is gone when thenight is o'er;

And bread lasts only a day,But the touch of the hand and

the sound of the voiceSing on in the soul away.

Good HabitsInstead of constant nagging,

so ruinous to the child, why nottry a personal efficiency game,asks Mrs. Maude L. Smith inChild Welfare Magazine. Mrs.Smith has found the game towork with great success. Shemakes ten points count as anickel and, if at the end of theweek the chart is 100, she adds aslight bonus.

For prompt rising in themorning she gives 10 points;teeth brushed, 10 points; shoesshined, 10 points; hands andnails cleaned, promptness atbreakfast, promptness to school,care of rooms, promptness tosupper, 10 points each; cheer-fulness, 20 points.

Each child keeps his own rec-ord. The benefit, the writer de-clares, is threefold; orderlinessbecomes a pleasure; the child isearning his own spending money,which must cover all his littleexpenses; and a friendly spirit ofrivalry is created among thechildren.

There are many thoughtfulhousewives who are convincedthat it pays to buy pasteurizedmilk to make delicious cottagecheese, skimming the extracream for cereals, desserts, andthe like. There is nothing morehealthful or better to eat thanhomemade cottage cheese. Makeit a game to use cottage cheese.

The growing child must havelime. Cornell Extension Bulle-tin No. 105 gives this compara-tive statement: The followingamounts of foods are required togive the same amount of lime asis furnished in ONE GLASS OFMILK: 9 potatoes (73 ounces);36 apples (146 ounces); 5/6loaf of graham bread (20.2ounces); 5 and 1/3 uounds beef(85.2 ounces); 24 shreddedwheat biscuits (24.9 ounces); 1and 7/12 loaves of white bread(37.8 ounces); 54 prunes (18.94ounces); 24 small onions (30ounces); 8 eggs (15.1 ounces);4 large carrots (18.2 ounces).Make it a game for the childrento learn food values.

Musical AssemblyOnce again the band of D. LI.

S. C. O. appeared at assembly todelight the student body. Theselections that were playedbrought round after round of ap-plause after each number.

During the course of the pro-gram Fred Benz of Still Collegebasketball fame spoke in regardto the basketball game to beplayed the following night. Con-cerning the Marshalltown teamhe stated that it was an inde-pendent team, but most of themIen were college men, and itwould prove to be a great game.He requested the student bodysupport, explaining what itmeant to the team.

Following several rousingcheers led by Reeves, the bandentertained the students withfurther selections. The schoolsong closed the first faculty pro-gram.

The band of D. M. S. C. O. un-der the direction of Dr. H. V.Hlalladay's baton is to be con-gratulated on the progress theyhave made and the high class ofmusic that is provided for thestudent body.

Confined To Hospital

Ernest Thie of the senior Aclass, who is in the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital, is graduallyimproving in health.

He was removed to the hospitallast Thursday night, after a finaldecision had been reached. Hispresent condition and the loss ofschool will necessitate his re-maining out of school for the en-tire semester.

His general condition has im-proved much and with his fatherand sister, from Sidney, Ohio,with him, we expect a continuedimprovement.

The senior A class extend theirbest wishes for his speedy returnto health.

Health Improved

Robert Bryson, former studentof D. M. S. C. O., who was forcedto drop out of school and go westfor his health, is believed to bewell again.

His father, C. A. Bryson, hasjust returned from Tujunga, Cal-ifornia, where he has been visit-ing his son. Mrs. Bryson will re-main with her son for severalmonths, until they are assuredof his permanent return tohealth.

Hart-Dye

An event of the new year hascome to our notice in the mar-riage of Miss Dorothy W. Hartand Kenneth E. Dye of the seniorA class.

The ceremony was performedin Cleveland, Ohio, on January 1.Many intimate friends were pres-ent to share the joy of this youngcouple.

They included a trip to Chi-cago in their return to D. M. S.C. 0.

Marietta OsteopathicClinic t

The first year of the Marietta 'Osteopathic Clinic has been one :of decided success and advance-ment. Holding forth the idea lthat the profession has a deepresponsibility for the publichealth, they have taken it astheir duty as well as a pleasureto advise the community as tothe Osteopathic progress and ac-complishments, and have main-tained the desire to bring to thecommunity the greatest economicdevelopment in the medicalworld-group practice.

The founding of this institu-tion was the first comprehensiveeffort to establish the advantagesof clinical practice in or nearMarietta, although the plan isbeing advocated generally bywriters and authorities on medi-cal practice and is in growinguse throughout t h e UnitedStates.

It is interesting to note thatover ten million Americans arenow treated in clinics-a millionin New York City alone.

The experience of the MariettaOsteopathic clinic with the groupplan has so far proved more thanthey had anticipated. Duringthis year they have been able byreason of their organization tohandle many operations and com-plicated cases which would havebeen beyond the facilities of anymember, if in individual practice.They have further been. able togive every patient the advantages

Interesting Article

The following article was for-warded to us by the Forum. Theclipping appeared in the Forumof February, 1929, and is of in-terest to us, not in the fact thatit mentions osteopathy as a pro-fession or any certain osteopath,but rather that it refers to StillCollege of Osteopathy as an in-stitution.

Feg. Murray, writing in theNewcastle (Pa.) News of No-vember 26, said: "What this de-partment would like to see is afootball game between SlipperyRock Teachers and CharlestonTeachers. I have never taughteither dance, but I imagine itwould take a referee from theStill College of Osteopathy to dis-entangle the footballers."

announce the pledging of RayLamb of Des Moines, Iowa.

February 16th the boys en-joyed a most delightful housedance. The house was decor-ated with hearts and streamerswhich would denote Valentine'sDay. Music was furnished byWalt Woods. There was onefeature dance of the evening,which was given by the pledgesBoatman and Homan.

It seems that long distancecalls are hard on Brother MikeCaldwell.

The Fairy Queen doubtlesslyhas captured our last hopes dueto the fact that Brother Dorn-bush has yeilded.

Another Dynamite Dunn hasbeen found, I suppose you won-der who? Well, it is none otherthan Pledge McDonald.

Cookie Moore, after staying infor several months has started tostep out. It looks rather bad forsomeone.

We received a letter from Dr.L. E. Schaeffer who has locatedin Detroit. He is getting alongjust fine and the boys are mightyglad to hear it.

Since Pledge McDonald senthome for his boxing gloves allthe boys have been going aroundnursing black eyes and bluenoses.

Say fellows, if you want tohear a good story, get SnookumsHoman to tell you the one aboutHoop Snake Basore.

Dr. Harmon - AHEM. Hispractice is so large that it isnecessary for him to leave histelephone number whenever hesteps his foot outside the house.

Brother Rusty Wright has de-cided to take up Asthetic danc-ing. He has promised the boysthat in the near future, he willgive us the dance of the mid-night fairies.

Pledge Boatman vs. a darkhaired girl in a red dress meansco-operation.

We wonder, Anderson, wh3your nose is so red? It is thatyou are punch drunk or someother kind of drunk?

Dr. Campbell gave us a veryinteresting talk last Mondaynight on the subject, "Am I aPhysician?"

We are still wondering whoplaced all of the comic valentineson the desks about the house.

We will close with the littleballad entitled, "If you are thegood girl that you claim you are;why is it that your heels are notrun over?"

happy gang to be out of "bond-age" again and able to enjoy ourfreedom. Brother Nick Gill wastaken with scarlet fever Satur-day, Feb. 14, and was removedto the Detension hospital for re-covery. This made it necessaryfor every one of us to remain inthe house for one week to see ifany more were to follow Nick tothe "Pest House." Fortunatelythere was no more of us to getit. This made it possible for ourrelease on Feb. 23. One grandsigh of relief was heard all overthe house when the city healthdepartment came up and tore thebig yellow and black sign off thedoor.

Anyway it was SOME week.Brother Wigal worked in capac-ity of the steward with PledgeRoy Sparks as first assistant,these boys deserve a greatamount of credit for we hadsome real meals and what morecould we wish? We regret that"Nick" has to miss school butare hoping that he makes anearly recovery and is back withus real soon.

P 1 e d g e "Les" Spaulding,Brothers Stenninger and Cuddenhave all recovered and are feel-ing back to par again after beingon the "out of order" list for afew days.

A letter received from Dr.Hovis, who is serving his intern-ship in the Detroit Osteopathichospital revealed the fact that heis doing fine and likes his workthere very much. Glad to hearfrom you "Hoops" and writeoften.

The house has been made"Merry" by frequent appearances

-of "Hap's Whoopie Band." This-is a new creation around school

and we wish "Hap" a great suc-1 cess in the work. This band- consists mainly of "Still" men

and are going to furnish somec real music.

Rather unusual that BrotherPeterson has not taken advan-

The cups haven't been award-ed yet for the different contests.Walt Madson, Leighton Long,and Kenneth seem to be the cardsharks, while the checker cham-pionship goes to Hen Scatterday.The old southern sport cham-pionship hasn't been awardedyet.

Pledges Toepfer and Armburstwere the chefs, and believe methey certainly did their stuff.

Dick Stritmatter and PledgeStoike seem to be the boxersaround the house. Talk aboutslug, Dynamite Dunn isn't in it.

Rocky .Stone was the housephysician. He saw to it that weall took lots of precautions toavoid getting a longer rest.

Pledge Grau had his atomizercontinually going from morningtill night, and some nightswould get up in the middle ofthe night and use it.

We never realized that BostonPatterson drank till we saw himsober during the week. Worehis Chapeau all the time forluck. It really was quite becom-ing to him.

Dusty Dorwart was our offi-cial bugler, only we didn't liketo be awakened at 3 A. M.Also see him about that newsong that he composed duringthe week.

Red Stewart is the only manknown that can drink Chartexand live to tell the tale. He saysit kept the little germs awayfrom him.

What Dixie Reeves wants toknow is who the guy was thattook the chandelier off the ceil-ing and hit him in the head withit. Darn mean trick, especiallywhen he practically had his manlicked.

Pledge La Chance gave hisusual little evening songs. Mostof us learned the new song hitsfrom him.

Pledge Perry needs glasses orwas it lack of sleep. Probablyhe liked the design on the rug.Anyone that can stare at the rugfor 3 hours wins the green derby.

Chuck Auseon started to boxone morning, but the minute hegot his glasses off, he had to feelaround for his opponent. Hethinks he is the logical contend-er for the heavyweight crown.We'll let Strib decide that.

Walt Heinlen was very sad fora few days till that letter fromTexas arrived, then you shouldsee him brace up.

Pledge Allen has just decidedthat he should be awarded themedal for reading the mostmagazines.

Pledge Stivenson tried to makeit hot for us, but we can't yetfigure why he went to bed soearly the first night.

During the week we discov-ered lots of talent that we didn'tknow existed. Too bad Ziegfeldcan't see some of the boys inaction or Sousa hear some ofthem.

Your Nose KnowsH. J. Marshall, D. O.

Very few of us pay attentionto our noses and yet it is one ofthe best barometers that wehave. You no doubt have hadpatients come into your of-fice stating that they feel meanall over and want a treatment.When you question them regard-ing their condition, they will re-ply, "Yes, I have had a headcold for several weeks, but itdoes not amount to very much."On examination, you will find abadly inflammed and congestedmucus mebrane of the nose, withsometimes both sides closed, alsoa history of first one side closingand then the other. In manycases, history of a watery dis-charge and again a muco-pure-lent discharge, with headachesoccasionally. A feeling of full-ness in the head and as men-tioned above, does not seem likeit amounts to very much, becausethey are able to be about.

Nasal diseases may extend tothe pharynx, the ear, or thelarynx, due to the fact that themucus membrane of the upperresperatory tract is continuous orthe resperatory organ may be-come involved by impairing thefunction of warming, moisteningand filtering the inspired air sothat the air entering the pharynxis cold, dry and dust laden. Asthe result of nasal diseases, thereare often produced, certain re-flex phenomina such as nasalcough, nasal, asthma, nasalchoria, hay fever, neuralgia,headache, affliction of the eye.Suppuration of the orbit.

Other reflexes which originatein nasal or nasopharyngeal ir-ritation, are coughs, laryngealspasms, or asthma.

Many cases that are spoken of"just a bad cold," or a stuffynose, are the beginning of sinu-sites, otitus media, deafness,chronic rhinitis or ozena.

Again frequent attacks ofacute rhinitis are sometimes thesymptoms of some systenic path-ology.

of modern scientific equipmentand apparatus far beyond indi-vidual feasibility. Each patienthas had the benefit of four medi-cal opinions each specialized inhis line, and they have had im-mediately at their disposal acomplete and intensive labora-tory with all that this means.Group practice has also made itpossible for each to spend con-siderable time in post-graduatestudy and research. And withal,they have served patients withgreater promptness and lesswaiting for them, yet with lesshurry, confusion and irregular-ity to the doctors of the clinic.

At a recent combined meetingof the Marietta Rotary and Ad-vertising Club it was noted thatall but three of the eighty oddmen present were users of Oste-opathy and had been treated bythe doctors of the OsteopathicClinic.

This interesting fact led tosubsequent similar observationswhich show that 73% of theKiwanians, and 70% of the Civi-tains have employed Osteopathythrough this institution.

Osteopaths Fight RulingThe ruling that bars Osteo-

paths from treating patients inthe Levering hospital and the us-ing of hospital equipment isbeing contested by the Osteo-paths of that vicinity in the Han-nibal court of common pleas.

The suite is attracting consid-erable attention as it is consid-ered to be one of the first testcases of its kind brought in aMissouri court and the outcomeof the case if taken through thehigher courts of the state mayestablish law that may effectpublic, and certain classes of so-called private, hospitals in thestate.

The osteopaths in their actionare seeking a restraining orderprohibiting the board of controlof the hospital from excludingthem from treating patients inthe hospital and from preventingthem from using the hospitalequipment, X-ray machines, op-erating room, etc.

The Osteopathic profession asa whole are interested in the out-come of this case. D. M. S. C. 0.as an Osteopathic institution,backs these men in their firmstand for the rights of Oste-opathy and Osteopathic phy-sicians.

BLOOD COUNTINGA hemoglobin estimation by

Tallquist, and a white cell countshould be made for each new pa-tient.

Hemoglobin of 80 or below in-dicates the need for a red cellcount.

White cell count of 9,000 orabove indicates the need for adifferential count.

Since a full account of themethods of taking blood andmaking cell counts would undulyexpand this manual, the workeris referred to any standard textfor these directions.

Normal red cell count: Male,5,000,000 to 6,000.000; female,4,500.000 to 5,500,000.

Normal white cell count, 6,000to 9,000.

N o r m a 1 Differential count.(Endothelial leucocytes includeall cells formerly called largemononuclear, large lymphocyteand transitional.)Polymorphonuclear 65% to 70%Endothelial

leucocytes --------- 6% to 12%Small Lymphocytes 25% to 30%Eosinophiles .---------- 1% to 3%Basophiles .--------.---5% to 1%

Diluting fluid for red cellcount may be Toisson's, Hayem'sor 1% sodium citrate in physio-logical salt solution. All of thesefluids grow molds on standing,and should be frequently filteredto prevent clogging of pipettes.

Diluting fluid for white cellcount is 1% acetic acid. As thisalso grows mold which uses upthe acid, it is better, where onlyon occasional count is made, toprepare a fresh solution eachtime by adding 3 drops of GlacialAcetic Acid to 10cc distilledwater.

Differential StainingThe stain now most used is

Wright's. This is a developmentof the Romanowsky and Ehr-lich's tri-acid stains.

is contained in the stain.Directions for staining are

given on the bottle and shouldbe followed since the timing de-pends on the particular lot ofstain used. If, in spite of exact-ly following directions, the stainis unsatisfactory, make the fol-lowing changes in timing.

If red cells are too dark, de-crease the time of using the un-diluted stain.

If red cells are too light, in-crease the time of undilutedstain.

If white cells are too dark de-crease the time of using distilledwater.

If white cells are too light, in-crease the time of distilledwater.

If all of the cells appear moreor less blue, interspersed withblank or very faintly stainedareas, the stain has been spoiledby acid either in the bottle or onthe slide. Stain a fresh slidewhich has been neutralized withalcohol. If the condition still per-sists the stock of stain is spoiled.

Take care that no stain is lostfrom the slide before adding dis-tilled water, as good results de-pend on the accurate mixture ofstain and water.

After washing with tap waterallow to air dry. Do not blotRemember that the stained filncan be rubbed off before it ihcompletely dry.

Word From OurPresident

We are all more or less inter-ested in taking a measure of theprofessional mind with respect tothe coming events in the near fu-ture in Des Moines. After manyyears of solicitation we have at-tracted the National AssociationConvention to Iowa.

Iowa has been in a receptivemood for over thirty years. Ithas harbored and supported oneof the earliest organized schoolsof Osteopathy, which in itsthirty-first year is showing anadvancement and a support fromthe field and from those who areunbiased in the advancement of ascience.

It is the purpose of the schoolto open its doors to any of theprofession who care to do ad-vanced or post-graduate workthe week preceding the conven-tion.

Des Moines offers opportuni-ties for advanced investigation,which no one can fail to appre-ciate. The members of the fac-ulty have declared their purposeto give freely of their time andefforts in making the course pre-sented not only worth while, butto better fit the recipients formore effectual work after return-ing to their home practice.

While the college plays but aminor chord in the National As-sociation arrangements and af-fairs, yet we expect to play it soeffectually that the conventionauthorities will have no occasionto regret their coming to DesMoines for the 1929 session.

The college on behalf of DesMoines and the Association urgesthe most hearty co-operationwith the convention authoritiesin making the coming conven-tion one of the outstanding inthe history of the Association.We pledge ourselves to be alertduring the entire period in mak-ing our visitors feel that they arenot only welcome but are alsobeing furnished with the bestthought of the foremost leadersin the Osteopathic profession.-Dr. C. W. Johnson.

Strive not to banish pain anddoubt,

On pleasure's noisy din;The peace thou seekest from

withoutIs only found within.

Alumni News

We are glad to receive this let-ter from Dr. Gladieux and ac-cept the suggestions and advicegiven in a most open-heartedmanner. Realizing that the con-vention is not far distant manyof this class have already com-pleted plans to visit their AlmaMater in June.

Grand Rapids, Mich.,2021 Division Ave. S.,

March 4, 1929Editor "Log Book",Des Moines, Ia.

The "Log Book" reaches mydesk twice monthly to remindme of the "good old days" inDes Moines. I hope this notewill partly repay for the pleasurethat the school paper gives me.

This state of Michigan is afertile field for Osteopathy.There are many Des Moines menhere and they all do well intime. There is plenty of roomfor more good Osteopathic phy-sicians in Grand Rapids and Ishall be glad to reply to any in-quiries for details.

I should like to point out afactor often overlooked by thestudent looking for a locationand that is the importance of awell organized agressive stateOsteopathic association, a n dMichigan has such an associationas proven by the good fight putup during this present legislativebattle, a battle which we havewon according to present indica-tions.

We are looking forward to at-tending the convention in DesMoines next June and hope tosee you then.

Fraternally,Dr. R. V. Gladieux.

Theory and PracticeC. F. Spring, D. O.

Every fact was first a theory,;hen a proven fact. Every theorytaught and used should be a fact;but as one looks back over thehistory and development of medi-cal science, it is clear to be seenthat many theories were taughtand believed to be true, but after-wards proven to be untrue. Whilethis is to be regretted, yet it isunavoidable, due to the idiosyn-crasy of the human entering into such an extent that the theoryapplied seems to be effective onthe first few, but when appliedto the masses, is found to be un-reliable or untrue. Yet with carethis mistake can be reduced tothe minimum; and today in ourschools very little indeed, istaught that has not been provento be facts.

Before one can get a clear ideaof Osteopathy, he must firstlearn the theories and principlesupon which it is based, then byapplying these theories in thepractice on the patient he is ableto prove the theories true andeffective. So theory and practiceare so closely related that it isimpossible to separate them.

A treatment which is not basedon sound theory is of no valuebecause it will not hold true inpractice; and when we say thatthrough the spinal nerves prac-tically every part of the bodymay be reached and influenced,we are merely stating a fact thathas long been known and provenin the treatment room by everyOsteopath.

Osteopathy is based upon thetheory that disease is caused bysome interference to the blood ornerve supply, and these interfer-ences are so often found to bestructural lesions that the find-ings of these lesions, therefore,constitute the most importantpart of our physical examination.

In studying structural lesions,we may divide them into threeclasses; a change in position, achange in size and a change inkind. Under a change in posi-tion, we have dislocation, (luxa-tion) subluxation, displacementand muscular contraction. Un-der the second classification, wehave overgrowth, a s s e r t e dgrowth and atrophy. Under thethird, or change of kind suchthings as prevented growth as toshape and replacement processes.

Many of these lesions may becorrected and very many more

School Talent AssemblyTaking charge of what proved

to be the most delightful assem-bly of the year Mrs. Z. A. Innis,our laboratory instructor, main-tained her belief that D. M. S.C. O. talent was unsurpassed.

The opening number on theprogram was the famous StillCollege Band with Dr. H. V.Halladay weilding the baton.Each selection was greeted byriotous applause which shows thehigh favor accorded the group ofmusicians by the entire school.

Howard Cook and Earl Hew-lett pleased the student body ina very fine manner with a violinduet. Miss Genevieve Stoddardaccompanied them at the piano.

Next in appearance was JuddKoch with his Xylophone. Thenovelty of the instrument andsuch delightful entertainmentmet the instant approval of thestudents. Only the upraised handof Mrs. Innis could bring orderso that the program could con-tinue.

Following a tap dance by C. A.Reeves in which he demonstratedhis ability as a master, Dr. H. V.Halladay entertained with sev-eral numbers on his eight stringguitar. Both numbers addeddiversity and entertainment.

Featuring Fred Stewart at thepiano as in previous numbers byReeves and Koch; Delmar Sten-ninger at the saxophone; JuddKoch at the Xylophone and MissGenevieve Stoddard manipulat-ing the spoons this final numberclimaxed the program for it wasclever and unique throughout.Miss Stoddard won the handpainted tie for her dexterity inhandling the "Kitchen Spoons."

Mrs. Innis and those that con-tributed their talent to makingthe program a success are to becomplimented.

Buena Vista DefeatedThe Still college basketball

team came through with a 20 to19 victory over Buena Vista ina fast and exceptionally cleangame on the Des Moines univer-sity floor Wednesday night.

The close guarding of bothteams kept scoring at a minimumthroughout the game. During thefirst half the Still team gaineda 10 to 5 lead.

More than half way throughthe last stanza the Beavers tookthe lead. With a three point ad-vantage Buena Vista attemptedto use a delayed offense but theStill team intercepted passes tobreak up the stalling. One bas-ket by Benz from out of abunched defense under the bas-ket and a longer shot by Jagnowgave Still the one point advan-tage which Sutton's team main-tained through the last two min-utes to win the battle.

Benz packed the scoring punchfor Still, shooting five field goalsto register half of his team'spoints. Davis, Hyink and Langalso played excellent ball.

The best use we can make ofgood fortune is to share it withour fellows.-Julian Hawthorne.

SPUTUM STAININGThe sputum discharged the first

thing in the morning is the best.Instruct the patient to clear thethroat, rinse the mouth out withwater and cough, saving thesputum raised from the lungs.Throat sputum may be mixedwith foamy saliva, and is ratherthin and clear. That from thelungs is thicker and is fromdirty-white to green.

The tuberculosis organism be-longs to the group known asacid-fast bacilli. The body con-tains a fatty substance which onwarming takes up the stain andcannot afterward be decolorizedby any simple means.

In making the smear take upa small amount of sputum on anapplicator, selecting a caseousparticle if one can be found, andcrushing on the slide. Spreadthinly. Air dry and fix as usual.Since old distilled water growsan acid-fast bacillus which muchresembles B. tuberculosis inmorphology, no distilled watershould be allowed to come incontact with the suspected ma-terial.

1. Cover slide completely withcarbol-fuchsin.

2. Warm gently over flameuntil it begins to steam.

3. Continue for 4 minutes toapply just enough heat to keepit steaming, being careful not toboil which will ruin the smear.

4. Wash with tap water.5. Apply acid alcohol till

smear is colorless in some spotsat least. Will take about 30 sec-onds.

6. Wash with tap water.7. Stain with Loeffler's Methy-

lene Blue for 3 minutes.8. Wash with tap water anc

blot dry.Organism is a slender red rod

slightly curved sometimes beaded, lying singly or in bunchesand clusters on a blue ground.

Since the organisms encaseat<and are not found unless a caseation has broken, releasingthem, negative results are noconclusive. As they are widel:scattered in any case, carefusearch of several smears shoulbe made before any conclusion ato negative results is drawn.

To Detect B. tuberculosis inUrine

Since the Smegma bacilluswhich is acid-fast and resemblethe tubercle bacillus in morphology, is always present on thgenitals, urine which is to be examined for tuberculosis shoulbe taken by catheter. If this iimpossible prepare the urine afollows:

Acidify 100cc of urine wit30% acetic acid, add 2cc of 5atannic acid solution and mithoroughly. Place in the rEfrigerator for 24 hours. Centrfuge all of it at high speed, bpouring off the supernatant fluiand adding more of the uncen

rifuged urine until the sedimentfrom the entire specimen is col-lected in one tube. Dissolve thesediment in dilute acetic acid.Centrifuge thoroughly o n cemore. Decant the supernatantacid, and make smear from thesediment, adding a little eggalbumin to make the smear ad-here to the glass. Air dry for 3hours and fix as usual. Followthe method of staining givenabove, up to and including step6. At this point soak the slidein 95% alcohol fifteen minutesor longer. Wash thoroughly andfinish stain as directed. Thisshould decolorize the smegmabacillus.

The court of last resort is toinoculate a guinea pig with someof the sediment. This shouldalso be done with sputum aboutwhich there is any uncertainty.

B. DiphtheriaSmears made direct from th.

throat are unsatisfactory, thedelicate organism being overlaidwith extraneous material so thatit cannot be distinguished withcertainty. A culture from thethroat should be made on Loef-fler's Blood Serum medium andgrown for 12 hours at 37 de-grees C. If grown longer theother organisms which are al-ways present will overgrow andkill out the diphtheria.

1. Make thin smear from cul-ture with distilled water, dry bygentle heat and fix.

2. Stain 3 minutes with Loeffler's Methylene Blue.

3. Wash with tap water.4. Decolorize w it h dilute

acetic acid until film is gray.5. Wash and blot dry.Organism is a delicate, round

ended rod, showing an alternation of deeply and faintly stainedbeads and bands, which is th<diagnostic sign. Some are clubshaped and a branching form ioccasionally seen. Psuedo-diphtheriae shows no beads or bands

Dr. Schwartz Visits OhioDr. J. P. Schwartz has re-

turned to Des Moines after anextended trip throughout Ohioduring which he spoke to Osteo-pathic groups in various cities.Following his visit in Toledo hejourneyed to Cleveland, thence toWarren, Columbus, Dayton andCincinatti speaking in the after-noon on the subject of "LocalAnesthesia" an in the eveningon "Emergencies of GeneralPractice."

Dr. Schwartz reports that ineach city he visited he was re-ceived by unusually large groupsand with a spirit of true Osteo-pathic fellowship. And furtherthat the Osteopaths of Ohio area very progressive group sup-porting the best of OsteopathicScience and accepting every op-portunity of placing Osteopathyon its highest plane.

Many letters have come fromthe district secretaries congratu-lating Des Moines Still Collegeon having a Dean of the caliberof Dr. Schwartz and each onevoicing the praise of the OhioOsteopaths and their thanks forthe time devoted by Dr. Schwartzto the furthering of Osteopathy.

Change Of Address

During the course of eventsand the year many changes aremade. The office and the con-vention committee are especiallyinterested at this time in thechange of the address of thosewho receive the "Log Book."Many new doctors have locatedand many others have movedinto new offices. When the ad-dress is not changed many of thebooks go astray and some are at

t a loss to know why they do nolI receive the publication. It is im-

perative with the conventiornews of the next few month,that we have the correct address of everyone.

An InspirationalAssembly

Perhaps the most inspirationalissembly address of the yearwas given by Rev. E. G. Williamsof the Westminster PresbyterianChurch at the assembly of March15th, which was presided overby Coach Frank R. Sutton.

Preliminary remarks follow-ing the appearance of the D. M.S. C. O. band gave Coach Suttonan excellent opportunity of in-troducing Rev. Williams whocommended the band very high-ly and stated that with such aband we should broadcast theschool and Osteopathy.

Choosing as the basis of histalk the subject "Standing Firmfor Our Beliefs and Seeing ThemThrough To the Finish," he al-luded to Daniel who stood forhis belief and his ideals for alifetime. Today there are mill-ions of starters but few finishers,many wearing out physically inthe middle of life, always thelack of balance with the spirit-ual and as with drugs the bodymay be whipped for a time butthe result is worse as a final.

He stressed the speed of thepresent generation which soonconsumes the reserve energy andleaves a broken body to try andcompete with the fit. The mod-ern "Pep Age" he strikingly ex-emplified by campaigns for newprojects with much ballyhoo andband playing with resultant en-thusiasm on the part of the peo-ple, but as soon as the campaign-ing stops, enthusiasm alsowanes.

Citing Col. Lindberg as theoutstanding American boy whostarted what he desired and fol-lowed through and who gradual-ly gained fame by hard, strenu-ous and never-ending determina-tion to succeed and gain his ob-ject by constantly pushing for-ward and firmly believing in hischosen work.

During his closing remarks heonce more emphasized the deter-mination in adhering to the be-lief and ideals of our professionand that success depended on ourability to carry through.

New York and Return

The annual trek to li'l ol'New York is over and all wehave left is the usual pleasantmemory of meeting old friendsand greeting new ones. Wethink that it is an honor to makethe Eastern States Convention.It is more than that. It is anevent, for it is a real conven-

ATLAS CLUBJ. P. Campbell

The members of the AtlasClub enjoyed themselves Mon-day night, March 8. The reasonfor the enjoyment was the factthat initiation took place.Therefore the club wishes to an-nounce the following new mem-bers: George Basore, ClaireMcKinley, Venzil Mikan, HaroldMcDonald, J o h n Anderson,Harry Taylor, Dene Moore,Charles Swartzbaugh, and JohnCampbell.

Baseball seems to be the gameof games according to the view-point of a number of the fellows.As yet there have been nobroken windows, looks like goodcontrol.

The new style for the clubseems to be glass coverings foryour desks. I wonder what willcome next?

Letters from men out in thefield are full of the coming con-vention. Many are planning onreturning at that time.

Dr. Halladay who is in chargeof the convention, is puttingforth all his efforts to make thisthe largest convention ever.Success to you, Doctor. We areall behind it.

Many of the fellows are get-ting their old Leaping Lena'srunning again. It is mightyfunny what spring will do to afellow.

We are looking forward to aninteresting talk which will begiven by Dr. Sandy, Monday,March 25.

Larry St. Amant was calledhome due to the illness of hismother. We wish her a speedyrecovery.


The chapter extends deepestregrets to Pledge Koch who wascalled home Friday, March 15,as a result of the death of hisfather. Mr. Koch had enjoyedperfect health but was strickenwith apoplexy which proved fatalto him. However "Judd" has re-turned again and ready to takeup his work.

"Nick" Gill has received anhonorable discharge from the de-tention hospital where he has"enjoyed" himself for threeweeks fighting the organisms ofScarlet Fever. He had an ex-ceptional opportunity to raise amustache and took advantage ofit. Have you noticed it? Weare glad to have the "blondestick" with us again.

Spring: "That gives us athought. Have you noticed howall the boys are succumbing toit's magic? It is almost impossible to get a davenport in thE

afternoon unless reservations aremade early.

Bro. Quartell has some verygood technic, but usually takesanother of his class mates withhim to treat. Well, he shouldhave, he is the world's best"Griper."

"U" Du Bois, the big hot shotfrom OH-10, models what thewell dressed college man shallwear this spring. Hair cut andeverything. It's a hit and missproposition, "Dewey."

Bro. Morgan, the Bobby Jonesabout the house, may be seenmost any afternoon in his golftogs trotting out to the links, toget in trim for the spring tour<naments.

Pledge Spaulding is one of thebest little pitchers we have. Butno wonder, he's in love with thegame.

Preparatory work for thebaseball series are beginning toappear, as the boys are gracingthe yard with the necessaryparaphenalia. Obituary: Onelarge window and two smallones.


Phi Sigma Gamma welcomesthe new members, Donald Perry,Jay Stivenson, David Grau, Ed-ward La Chance, Walter Arm-burst, Fred Schaeffer, Ells-worth Stoike. A big feed wasserved after the degrees.

The old house looks much bet-ter since the boys cleaned upboth inside and out. Madsonsure knows how to get the boysto work.

Jennings returned from Madi-son. We hope he was successfulwrith the board.

The Seniors all seem to bepretty busy these days. Every-thing from Fomon to Goepp andFreshmen review.

By the looks of most of thefellows these balmy days, Springis here. Well ,it can't come anytoo soon for us. In the Spring ayoung man's fancy lightly turnsto Oh! well what's the use.

Some of the boys were foundout looking for dandelions forthe femme's for Easter. Littlebit early yet isn't it, boys?

Delta Chapter extends a wel-come to all Alumni to make thehouse their headquarters duringtheir stay in Des Moines duringthe convention. We assure youof a good time and a real placeto stay.

The boys are discarding theirfur coats for the lighter topcoats these days. Moth ballsare in great demand at present.

Why, some of the boys areeven homesick already. Perhapsit's the feminine magnetism ofthe girls back home, or is it theold wanderlust? I ask you?

Robert Allen, one of the Jan-1 uary class, underwent a mastoic

operation. We extend our sympathy to you, Bob.

S.C. 0. CLU.JB~1 E. E. Perry

On the eveiiil.Lo ui March 4t1and 18th the S. C. O. held its

-regular meetings at the Y. We C. A. building. Both meeting,

were well attended. At the firsta talk on "The Osteopath As aPhysician" was given by Dr.Parks. Among the many im-portant factors relative to aphysician's success, diagnosiswas especially emphasized. Atthe second Dr. Helebrant told usmany interesting facts concern-ing the various countries hevisited while touring Europe.We wish to thank the doctorsfor their efforts in our behalfand hope to hear from themagain.

Victor Reeder says that thesecret of maintaining an equilib-rium in a stuffy dissection lab-oratory is to sit high and nip the"cut plug" profusely.

We would like to know SteveHenry's method of obtaining ad-dresses of week end fudgemakers.

For information concerningup-to-the-minute technique onposterior innominate lesions seeStan Pettit.

Wanted: Shorter and sweet-er dancing partners. HaroldKinney.

Our next regular meeting willbe on April 1 at 8 o'clock sharp.Let's all be there on time andevery one come, as we are goingto discuss a matter which is ofinterest to every member.

SIGMA SIGMA PHIAt this time the Sigma Sigma

Phi takes great pleasure in an-nouncing the initiation of thefollowing men: H. H. Cudden,R. R. Lang, Bernard J. Fry,William Clark, Burns Scott, andKenneth Ward.

After getting better acquain-ted with the new brothers wejourneyed down to King YingLow's for the evening's repast.Lang could not eat Chow Meinbecause he never ate noodles,only in noodle soup. They slidebetter when they are wet, hesays. What about it Lang?

It was a great pleasure to haveour field members visit us onsuch an occasion. They wereDoctors Paul Parks, Ray McFar-land and Halladay. Such an af-fair would not be complete with-out them. Come visit us againand make it often.

tion and the group is the mostfriendly in the country.

We left here a day early inorder to spend it in Chicago go-ing over some of the details ofthe coming convention. Theday's work smoothed over a lotof little things and if the con-vention is better than the aver-age, you can credit it to thefact that there is perfect co-op-eration between the committeeshere in Des Moines and the cen-tral office. They are a goodgroup with which to work.

Arranged my time so as tomake a short stop in Syracuseto see Ken Howes and family.Ken and Tib, whom many of youknow were students of mine inKirksville and later in DesMoines, and much to the sur-prise of all of us got married,now have a family, a dandy boy.The visit with them was muchtoo short.

Arrived in New York in timeto help Roxy celebrate his sec-ond birthday in the Roxy The-atre. I was in New York twoyears ago when the show wasopened and last year attendedhis first birthday party andthis year his second.

The convention opened withthe usual New York pep. In-stead of about a dozen beingpresent at the first lecture, theseats were nearly all filled andmore chairs had to be broughtin before the morning was over.That is the way they attend inthe East. That is why I like togo there. You have a crowd totalk to, not just a handful.

And another thing. They al-ways have a good banquet andsome real speakers. We alsohad the pleasure of hearing Mr.Olsen who put across the drivefor the Philadelphia college thatwas recently completed with anover-subscription.

It seemed to me that therewas a larger crowd Saturday.They come to this meeting andthey stay. It was all over abouthalf past four, but the crowdwas still there. This is the lastmeeting to be held in the oldWaldorf-Astoria and all of ushesitated about leaving, for weknew that even tho we metagain next year in New York, itcan never be the same at an-other hotel.

Saturday night I stayed overto see Will Rogers and DorothyStone in "Three Cheers." Willsteals the show. It is the com-mon garden variety of musicalshow, with a lot of pretty girlsand two or three good songs,but the thing that puts it overis Will Rogers' apparent im-provision of his lines. Willcannot resist the temptation tooften step out of character andbe himself, for which the audi-ence is truly thankful. We allhope that Fred Stone comesback, but not until Will getstired of his present role. It wascertainly something to comehome and tell the natives about.

We arrived home OK.DR. H. V. HALLADAY.

"Voyages"A tired old doctor died today and

a baby boy was born-A little new soul that was pink

and frail and a soul that wasgray and worn,

And-halfway here and halfwaythere-

On a white high hill of shiningair,

They met and passed and pausedto speak in the flushed andhearty dawn.

The man looked down at the soft,small thing with wise andweary eyes,

And the little chap stared backat him with startled, scaredsurprise.

And then he shook his downyhead-

"I think I won't be born," hesaid.

"You are too gray and sad!"He shrank from the pathwaydown the skies.

But the tired old doctor rousedonce more at the battle cry ofbirth,

And there was memory in hislook of grief and toil andmirth,"Go on!" he said. "It's good-and bad!"

"It's hard! GO ON! It's OURS,my lad!"

He stood and urged him out ofsight, down to the waitingearth.

Physical BankruptcyAt Fifty-Why?

DR. M. E. BACHMANMany requests have come to

the office of the Log Book aboutthe address given by Dr. M. E.Bachman at the assembly on themorning of Feb. 1. Believingthat it would be of interest tothe field members also, thearticle will appear in this issue.

The two most expensive thingsin this world are crime and dis-ease; the more crime the moredisease and the more disease themore crime.

Dr. Homer Folks, secretary ofthe New York State Charities As-sociation, says: "Sickness anddisease cost the United Statesover fifteen billion dollars an-nually; ninety-three percent ofthis is borne by the patients andtheir families. Physicians get$745,000,000; unlicensed people$120,000,000; and hospitals get$404,501,572. The cost of drugsand medicines is $700,000,000;Loss of wages because of illness$1,245,000,000; permanent dis-ability causes of loss of $12,000,-000; so the total cost of illnessin the United States is $15,729,-825,376 annually. The averageper capita cost of disease is$31.08 and we paid in 1928sixty-three cents per capita forprevention."

Sickness and poverty are arti-ficial and unnecessary, and canto a large extent, be eliminatedwhen we learn how to live andare willing to live right.

Disease takes our best menand women at a period in lifebefore they have reached thezenith of their ability and use-fulness. The community is de-prived then of their contributionto society at a time when it ismost valuable. This manhoodand womanhood, this leadership,this contribution to society mustbe conserved, and there is noclass of men and women who cando more toward this conservationthan those who I am addressingthis morning. Our professionstands in a class by itself and ourtraining fits us for this greatwork of conserving the physicalpowers of manhood and woman-hood.

During the past year some ofthe most useful men of our cityhave dropped out of the race tooearly for the good of the com-munity, and society is deprivedof their quota of service.

Most men who become phy-sically bankrupt at fifty have laidthe foundation for their failuresin the late twenties or the earlythirties.

The man who feels himselfslipping at from thirty-two toforty years of age should heedthe warning, stop, look and lis-ten, and lower his speed. Naturegives us warnings which some-times are not understood; butsome understand yet do not heedthe signals. You will get valu-able information in taking casehistories by learning of thehabits of your patients between

Crete, Neb.March 22, 1929

Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy,Des Moines, Iowa.Dear Doctors:

As I am retiring from mypractice within a short time, Iam wondering if you know ofany Osteopath that is looking fora good location in Nebraska.

Crete is a town of about 3,000located in a rich farming com-munity in eastern Nebraska,about 25 miles from Lincoln,and is the home of Doane Col-lege.

Osteopathy is well establishedhere in this vicinity, there hav-ing been an Osteopath here atCrete for the past 20 years. Iam the only Osteopath within20 miles and I know of no rea-son why this should not be asplendid opening for someone.Will sell for the price of theequipment. If interested, writeLOLu

Dr. G. L. Rumelhart.

Cleveland, Ohio,Editor the Log Book,Des Moines Still CollegeDes Moines, Iowa.Dear Sir:

I wish to express, on behalf ofthe local district, their extremeappreciation of Dr. J. P.Schwartz' recent visit and lec-tures before our district society.It was the unanimous decision ofall present that his lectures werethe finest that we have had theopportunity of listening to for avery long time and our sincerewish is that he may be with usagain next year. In one shortafternoon and evening he wasable to get in as much instruc-tion as ordinarily would takemany, many days of study incollege. We can only wish thatthe profession develops moremen like Dr. Schwartz. Inci-dentally I might mention thatDr. Schwartz' lecture broughtforth the biggest group for ameeting here that we have hadin many years. That is indeeda compliment to our opinion ofDr. Schwartz as well as to thecollege.

Yours fraternally,Chas. A. Purdum, D. O.

Ensminger-Sprague

Dr. Homer Sprague of the classof 1925 and Miss Hester Ensmin-ger were united in marriage inCleveland, Ohio, on March 9th.Dr. Sprague is now practicing inLakewood, Ohio, and plans to at-tend the National Convention inJune.

Until that time, we send ourcongratulations to this youngcouple, and best wishes for theirsuccess.

Dr. Medbury AddressesStudent Body

The assembly of March 21st,which was in charge of Dr. M. F.Golden brought to the platformof D. M. S. C. O. one of the fore-most speakers of Des Moines,Rev. C. S. Medbury of Univer-sity Church of Christ.

Preceeding his address on the"Persistance of the Spiritual" heexpressed his delight and pleas-ure of speaking to the studentsof the college in view of the factthat he knew Dr. A. T. Still andhe knows Osteopathy for it is anOsteopath that cares for his fam-ily whenever there is such aneed.

Following a discussion of mod-ern thought both in books andbusiness he stressed the fact thatthere was a continued appeal forthe better for at the grilling pacethat everyone lives they must de-fer to some ethical consideration.The present materialistic tend-encies necessitate a spiritualforce to penetrate so that manwill be able to handle modernmachinery.

Quoting Steinmetz he broughtto the students the thought ofthis genius, that the greatest de-velopment in the next fifty yearswould be in the spiritual field.The weight of this thought car-ries its full force when we real-ize that this statement comesfrom a man of science.

Concluding he stressed fur-ther the fact that faith holds aman steady in sustaining hisstandards. So too, every Osteo-path needs such a faith as willbe necessary in the further un-folding of life. Each must ad-vance in spiritual force andcarry such an influence into thefield and into Osteopathy.

Convention News(Continued from page 1)

ture is one that you will appre-ciate during your visit here inJune.

Dr. Halladay expressed somenew ideas about registration andsome of the other departmentshe is responsible for. His chair-men are working hard and havemade reports already that haveappeared in the Journal.

Dr. Chet Morris of Chicagowas present and made a talk rel-ative to the program. Dr. Morrisstated that the program wasplanned and most of the speak-ers selected and their time al-lotted. The plan calls for anintensive five day program withthe sectional work being givenin the morning and the generalprogram in the afternoon. Dr.Morris expressed complete sat-isfaction with the arrangementsmade by the local committeeand stated that the accomoda-tions here were better than eventhe eventful meeting in the Wal-dorf in 1923.

Make your reservations nowor you will be sorry. Remember,it is only ten weeks until themeeting-June 17 to 23.

GENERALTo Make Percentage Solutions

Take same number of ccs ofliquid, (grams of solid) as thepercentage desired, and add sol-vent QS to 100cc.

To Make Lower PercentageSolutions From Higher

Volume desired times percentdesired divided by percentage onhand equals amount of percent-age on hand to be used.

Example. To make 50cc of a4% solution from 30% solution.

50x4=200200 - 0--6.6.6.6cc of 30% solution plus

43.4cc of solvent makes 50cc of4 % solution.Chromic Acid Cleaning Mixture

This should be prepared andkept in an earthenware crockwith cover. (A plate may beused.) Keep covered when not inuse, and do not allow any metalto come in contact with the mix-ture. Protect the hand with ahousehold rubber glove whenputting in and taking out glass.Be careful not to get any on theclothing, as it will eat holes. Ifthe table is not acid proofedstand the crock on a piece ofglass extending at least sixinches all around.

Dissolve 10 ozs. PotassiumDichromate in 1 /2 pints ofwater.

Allow to get completely cold.Add very slowly stirring with

a glass rod, 1 quart of SulphuricAcid. (The commercial qualitymay be used.) When the smallcrystals which precipitate whenthe acid is added are all gone,discard.

Acid proof dressing for labora-tory tables, with directions forapplying may be procured fromany chemical supply house. Itcan only be used on new wood,which should preferably be soft.Hard wood may be used butshould have an extra coat of thedressing and a double oiling. Ifthe table has been oiled or paint-ed, have it planed off until anentirely new surface is exposed.The time and trifling outlay ofmoney will be well repaid, as thetable is then proof against acidsand alkalis, unaffected by stains,fire-resistant and can be cleanedwith soap and water.To Remove Adhesive PainlesslyEther ................................. 30 crAlcohol, 95% -----. -------- 30cclodin tincture 8----------..----. 8ccGlacial acetic acid ------------- 8cc

Thoroughly wet the outside ofthe plaster and remove by peel-ing. If it sticks at all, wet theoutside again and wait until ithas penetrated. Adhesive markson the skin may be removed withXylol. (Do not use near theeyes.)

(7 /2 grains)Methyl Alcohol ------- 100cc

(31/3 ozs.)Alcohol must be that prepared

especially for blood stain. Puta little of this alcohol in thestock bottle to be used (whichmust be perfectly dry) rinse itabout, cork with a new cork, andlet stand for some time. Drainout this alcohol, put in theweight of Tetrachrome desired,add the necessary amount of thealcohol and shake vigorously.Let stand a few days before us-ing. The stain improves withage. Always mix further suppliesin the same bottle. To stain,place 30 drops of stain on slideand leave 30 seconds. Carefullyadd 30 drops of distilled waterand leave 1 minute. Wash withtap water and dry in air.

APPARATUS & REAGENTSIn response to numerous re-

quests, a list of the apparatusand reagents necessary to equipa small laboratory has been pre-pared. This includes everythingneeded to do the work given inthe manual except microscope,centrifuge and haemocytometer.The reagents are all stable ifkept well corked and not con-taminated. In a few instancesthe basic material has been in-cluded in the list and directionsgiven for preparing the reagentfrom it, this being more eco-nomical.

Water solutions for reagentuse should be made with distilledwater, which can be procured atany battery station. It will benecessary to get a quart of so of95% (190 proof) alcohol. Neveruse denatured or rubbing alcohol.Lower percentages may be pre-pared by the rule given above.Alcohol for germicidal purposesshould be 60%. It is much moreeffective than higher strength.Slides may be kept in 80% alco-hol in a pint Mason jar andpolished as needed. They willthen be free from acid andgrease. Slides that have beenstained may be cleaned for useagain by immersing in the acidbath for 24 hours. (Remove im-mersion oil with Xylol beforeputting in the bath.) Afterthorough rinsing leave in the al-cohol over night before using.

(Continued from page 3)twenty-five and thirty-five yearsof age.

There is an analogy betweeninancial and physical bank-ruptcy; wrong investments andoverloading do not work well inbusiness nor in matters of health.

The words "successful busi-ness" are very alluring to many.We want to succeed in our un-lertakings whether they besocial, political, professional, orbusiness.

To be successful requires everyounce of energy that can bemustered. Many whose vitalityis low to start with drop out ofthe race early. Those who re-main, give all their thought andtime to the promotion of theirbusiness. They try to meet thecontingencies and make approp-riations for enlargement and newequipment but forget to providefor the body and mind that arecontinually at the breakingpoint. Should they run theirbusiness on the same plane thatthey care for their health theywould be financially bankrupt ina short time.

Suddenly they discover thatsomething is not right withthemselves; nature has thrownout danger signals in the form ofthe morning headache, moretired when they get up thanwhen going to bed; loss of appe-tite; food lies heavy like a stonein the stomach; wakefulness atnight, so they stay up late in thehope that they can sleep fromsheer exhaustion or weariness;shortness of breath when goingup stairs or hurrying which is asign of a weak or fatty heart.

Whenever there is a pain be-tween the chin and stomach thatcomes from exertion and makesyou feel like stopping; betterstop, for this is a forerunner ofangia pectoris, a heart troublethat will stop you short if youdon't heed. That irritable crabbyspirit that finds everythingwrong is a sure sign of failinghealth and a shattered nervoussystem. Puffy eyelids are warn-ings of kidney trouble, pulsatingheadaches and ringing in theears may point to high bloodpressure; pain under the leftshoulder blade point to hearttrouble; under the right shoul-der to liver trouble. Sharp painin the middle of the back maymean ulcers of the stomach.

When all these signs or someof them are manifest we go shop-ping for health, and we seek tobuy health as we buy commoncommodities. We go bargainingfrom Excelsior Springs to Ro-chester, Minn. We are some-times willing to pay enormousprices for health. We try mudbaths, sun baths and otherbaths; we try everything fromyeast to sauer kraut, and branto Pluto water. We buy some-thing for the kidneys, and an-other for the heart. We pay fromfive dollars to three hundreddollars for the privilege of park-ing our tonsils or appendix in ahospital.

Baseball

A year ago the newspaperscame out with a cartoon en-titled, " Life is Worth LivingAgain." The significance of itwas that the baseball season wasthen opening. Another year haspassed and we are glad to startthe ball rolling again. The IotaTau Sigma boys are the defend-ing champions, and are slightfavorites to repeat last year'sperformance. The loss of a starbattery must be reckoned with,so the other three teams feelthat they are very much in the

Our Opportunity andResponsibility

The special featuring of a"Saxophone Sextette" composedof the following students, Sten-ninger, Taylor, Mikan, Brudder,Brace, La Chance and Utterbackadded "pep" and delight to theassembly of April 5th.

Dr. Marshall, who presidedover the assembly commendedthe band highly as the finest inthe state, in quality if not inquantity. Following this he in-troduced the speaker of the oc-casion, Attorney Henry E. Samp-son, local advisor of the IowaOsteopathic Association, who ad-dressed the students on the out-standing subject, "Students To-day, Osteopathic Physicians To-morrow, Opportunity and Re-sponsibility."

Mr. Sampson compared Pike'sPeak and Osteopathy as lying un-discovered to humanity for years.Dr. A. T. Still was the trailblazer who climbed the peak andopened the view in all direc-tions to see the need of the peo-ple of coming generations. Hestands there beckoning us toclimb to the peak, assume ourresponsibility, mount to the topand get the vision, so service tomankind can be rendered withefficiency. We are climbing thatsteep pathway, that has beenworn from ruggedness tosmoothness and we can be moreto mankind because our work iscut out and the pathway mapped.Sacrifices made by the "old doc-tor" were beyond men of theaverage endurance, but encour-agement and help put Osteo-pathy on the top of the peak. Weare almost at the top standingwith Dr. Still to realize the un-usual opportunities.

Our last regular meeting washeld at the Y. W. C. A. on theevening of April 1st. A muchappreciated talk on the tech-nique of finding and correctingbony lesions was given by Dr.Robert Bachman. Many of theapparent complicated bony de-rangements were located andcorrected with surprising easeby Dr. Bachman. We had noidea that so much clinical ma-terial was available in our ranksuntil the doctor called for sub-jects on which to demonstrate.

A special meeting was calledon April 8th. The speaker forthe evening was Mr. C. D. Samp-son, who talked on precautionsthat a beginning practitionershould take in order to safe-guard from malpractice suits.Later he enlightened us by giv-ing some specially requested in-formation on professional insur-ance. We wish to thank Mr.Sampson for the favor he has ex-tended us and hope to hear himagain.

The next regular meeting ofthe S. C. O. will be on Monday,April 15th, instead of meeting atthe Y. W. C. A. building we areto assemble at the PolyclinicHospital on Tenth and GrandAvenue at 8 o'clock sharp. Thispromises to be one of the bestmeetings of the season and wehope that everyone will make anextra effort to be there.

Ode To a Bus Boy

He was only a bus boy in a tearoom

Working faithfully day afterday,

He worked with a will, his ex-penses at Still

In an effort to defray.

Time after time he threatenedto quit,

But faith held him steady andtrue;

So he labored on, later to re-spond

To the field of Science heknew.

And so four years have passedaway,

He has gone from his AlmaMater halls

To return now and then, fromthe work of men,

With deaf ear to worldly calls.

Now out of the gray mist of theearly dawn

Comes word of success andfame

Of the bus boy, who each daycarried the tray

Ton raonh his goal in life's

From the Field

J. P. Schwartz, Dean,Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy,Des Moines, Iowa.My Dear Sir:

You have undoubtedly learnedof the death of one of youralumni, Dr. John H. McDowell,who had a very large practice inthis city.

I am taking this liberty inasking you whether you have inmind a graduate of good abilitywho would be desirous of comingto Troy and establishing him-self here as the opportunitiesare very good for either a manor man and wife who are Osteo-paths. The few already practic-ing here are "Penn" graduatesand are doing well, but thelargest practice was carried onby the late Dr. McDowell andhis wife.

Should you have in view any-one, kindly inform me at yourearliest convenience or havethem correspond with me di-rectly.

Capt. Davis to Graduate

Playing his last game in theD.M.S.C.O. uniform, when Kirks-ville suffered two successive de-feats, Capt. Harold Davis addedvery materially in the buildingof one of the smoothest workingteams that Still College has everdeveloped. Throughout the work-ing of the Still College five, theoutstanding feature of the sea-son was the fine individual play-ing of Capt. Davis, who wasselected as all-state forward, andin addition, he has the honor ofbeing the high point man of theworld in 1927.

It was this rangy dribbler'suncanny ability to hit the loopfrom all angles, at critical times,that gave Still College the ex-cellent record for the past fouryears. His sensational dribblingand pass work will be missed byevery member of the team.

The team and the college wishCapt. Davis success in his chosenwork and his new enterprise.

Varied Talents

Throughout the years at DesMoines Still College many anddeverse talents have been shownby the students. The latest ofall is in the dramatic abilityshown by a member of the SeniorA class, Wm. Hensch, who tookpart in the "Spider," a play pre-sented at the President theatrewhich featured Wm. Courtney asguest artist.

Equal Privileges forMaine Osteopaths

An ambition long cherished bylaine Osteopaths reached itsruition the 12th of March whenxovernor William Tudor Gard-ner signed an act granting)steopaths equal privileges withhysicians and surgeons in theractice o f obstetrics an durgery.

The act, one of the most far-eaching in its effects of anyneasure brought before thategislature, had passed through)oth houses without the sem-lance of opposition. It will be-ome law in July.

Licensed By StateUnder its authority practit-

oners of Osteopathy who haveDeen graduated from accredited)steopathic colleges after fourrear courses, may apply to theState Board of Osteopathic Ex-Lminations and Registrations foricenses to use antiseptics, anes-thetics and narcotics necessaryto the practice of surgery andOsteopathy. Any person soicensed shall be designated anOsteopathic Physician with hisright to prefix the title "Dr." totheir names when accompaniedby the word "Osteopath." Allreports and health certificatesmade by such Osteopathic Phy-sicians shall be accepted byHealth Departments on equalbasis with like reports from doc-tors of medicine.

No provision is made in theact that the patient of Osteo-pathic Physicians may be ac-cepted in medical hospitals orthat Osteopathic Physicians andsurgeons may enjoy equal priv-ileges with surgeons and doctorsin such hospitals. It is under-stood to be the intention of theOsteopathic fraternity to main-tain their own hospitals in Maineas in many other states.

Wekill the watch dog that warns usof the approaching burglar, andlet the thief steal our health. Wetry X-Ray and other rays; thistreatment and that treatment;here one week and there the nextweek. Suddenly we discover thathealth cannot be bought eitherwholesale or retail and becausewe can not buy health and haveit delivered by air mail we be-come skeptical and distrustful ofeverything and everbody, neverstopping to think that this phy-sical bankruptcy is the summingup of the prodigal waste ofenergy and strength that hasbeen going on for twenty-five orthirty years.

Scientists tell us that it takesfrom twelve to fifteen months torebuild this body. If this is truewe will not be very successful inthe form of treatments, pills,capsules, bottles or surgery.

What we see of a man is thesum total of what he eats,drinks, and thinks. There is anold German saying that too muchand too little spoil everythingand this applies to health also,especially to eating and drinking.

Heart failure, Bright's disease,apoplexy, diabetes, etc., follow inthe wake of juicy steaks unitedwith sauces, French fried, coffee,tea, rich deserts and tobacco.They may well be named theUnited Steaks of America.

Many people eat too much ofthe concentrated foods likecheese and eggs. It takes twentypounds of chicken feed to makeone pound of eggs, and eggs runfrom seven or eight to a pound.So the person who eats foureggs, eats the equivalent of tenpounds of chicken feed. It iseasy to overfeed on concentratedfoods. Most of us are familiarwith the carbon knock in ourautomobiles. Carbon is the re-sult of too rich a mixture in thegasoline. The symptoms I havedescribed are carbon knocks inour bodies; the result of a diettoo rich in carbon.

We have on our statute booksthe eighteenth amendment andthe Volstead act which are sup-posed to regulate the intake ofliquid carbon; but the Volsteadact does not apply to the homebrew made in our stomach fromsolid foods. There are peoplewho think a person who drinks aglass of wine is eternally lost,yet these same people makealcohol in their stomachs daily,by the use of pastries, candy,rich and fatty foods. We needanother Volstead act to coverthis popular method of makinghome brew.

Let us roughly analyze theaverage meals and see what weeat. Breakfast consists of oat-meal with sugar equals carbonsdoughnuts equal carbon, bakedin lard equals carbon, coveredwith sugar equals carbon; cakes

equal carbon covered with but-,er and syrup equals more car-bon; eggs fried in lard equalscarbon eaten with bacon equalscarbon; to this we add a halfgrapefruit covered with de-natured sugar, more carbon; to;his again we add coffee withmore denatured sugar and againwe have carbon. Fruit juice andsugar are a good combination tomake alcohol; the result isenough gas to fill a Zeppelin; wetreat this gas with baking sodaand again repeat the brew pro-cess the next morning. At noonour lunch consists of a sugarroll, equal carbon; pie ala mode,more carbon; pork and beansequals more carbon; sweet pota-toes or mashed potatoes withgravy equal more carbon; whitebread, butter and jelly equalsmore carbon. At night we havethe United Steaks of Americaand more carbon and to top thewhole mess with a cup of consti-pation in the form of tea. Wethen congratulate ourselves onhaving good nourishing food.

When we have heaped wrathagainst the day of wrath and theday of visitation has come, weask the doctor or the good Lordto help us and deliver us fromthis awful punishment. Even theLord is blamed for the sicknesswhich was brought on by violat-ing the rules and laws of health.

There is one phase of your lifethat will receive more attentionin the future. I refer to ourhabits of thinking and our emo-tions. No one can remain wellwho is in a negative mood andwhose emotions are destructive.We must learn to banish fear.MI n e- -- I , - --g o-00 K s a y s _ e a n a tn' - - -The goo DbooKS says "-rear natntorment," and this is true inwhatever sphere fear is found.The best remedy for fear is faithin God and obedience to His will.Man is incomplete without Godin his life; and I am very posi-tive that he who spends sometime each day in meditatingupon divine things will enjoy bet-ter health and live longer, forGod said "With long life will Isatisfy him." Our emotions area powerful factor in our healthor unhealth.

We must not overlook recrea-tion in God's out-of-doors. Every-body should have some hobbyand ride it freely and often. Weabsorb sixteen per cent moreexygen and exhale fourteen percent more carbon dioxide in thesun and we assimulate morecalcium in the sun than in theshade. The sun has healing inits wings and those who wouldhave good health and long lifemust not neglect to spend muchtime out of doors and be filledand thrilled with God's wonder-ful creations.

Receives Gift

Miss Genevieve Stoddard, aJunior in D. M. S. C. O. is theproud owner of a new Chevroletcoach which was presented toher by her uncle. It all cameabout as a big surprise as shestates. Her uncle who is deep-ly interested in Miss Stoddardand Osteopathy decided that sheshould have a car to assist herin the discharge of her practiceand obstetrical work and so theresulted gift.

"Knowledge MeansCaution"d

The most advertised and per-haps the most used drug isaspirin, for all sorts of condi-tions. Usually those who aretaking it and prescribe it knowvery little of the deleterious andoften dangerous effects thatcomes from its constant use.

From a medical book entitled,"Pharmacotherapeutics, MateriaMedica and Drug Action," bySolis-Cohen and Githens (D.Appleton & Sompany, 1928), wetake the following paragraphs,which may well arrest the atten-tion of many who use aspirin oradvertise others to use it.

"Aspirin, although commolywell borne in moderate dose, isdistinctly depressant to t h eheart. Great cardiac weaknessand a tendency to collapse, mayfollow the administration of adose representing less than halfthe quantity of sodium salicylatepreviously and subsequently wellborne by the same patient. Chil-dren are particularly subject tothis cardiac depression; thus, ina girl of twelve years withscarlatinal arthritis; alarmingsymptoms were caused by 9grains of aspirin given in thecourse of 15 hours, althoughthere was no evidence of endo-carditis or pericarditis, and re-covery of cardiac vigor ensuedon withdrawal of the drug. Thecardiac depression may not beimmediately evident; but con-tinued resort to aspirin may soweaken the heart, that in anemergency, or under the addi-tional depression of an acute in-fection, as influenza or pneu-monia, it fails to respond. Deathmay thus be an indirect effect ofaspirin poisoning. Moreover, anaspirin habit is easily set up byits use for relief of recurrentheadaches and neuralgic pains.The same things are to be saidof emperin, which is also anacetylsalicylic ester."

These are reasons why everyperson needs to understand allthe facts regarding such much-used drugs.

Aspirin-A salicylic acid, awhite crystalline compound. In-compatible with alkalis and mustbe given in dry form. Soluble inone hundred parts of water andni alcohol.

Depressant-A drug which re-duces functional activity and thevital energies in general by pro-ducing muscular relaxation andsweating.

Cardiac - Relating to theheart.

Sodium Salicylate Whitecrystalline drug used in rheu-matism, neuralgia, etc.

Arthritis-Inflammation of ajoint.

Endocarditis-Inflammation ofthe lining of the heart.

Pericarditis Inflammation ofthe covering of the heart.

Ester-Any compound formedfrom an alcohol and an acid bythe removal of water.

Convention Advice AtAssembly

The assembly of April 12 waspresided over by Miss Ava L.Johnson who introduced thespeaker of the occasion, Dr. EllaCaldwell who is in charge of thewomen's program at the NationalConvention in June. The band,which preceeded the speakerwith several delightful numberswas greeted with a hearty ap-plause from the student body.

Dr. Caldwell's subject of"Spirit and Organization at Con-vertions" has been, she main-tained, the factor in puttingOsteopathy where it is today.The trail blazers of the past whoworked diligently to upholdOsteopathy and its principles,won its prominent place in theScience of Healing through Or-ganization and Spirit with dueconsideration to sacrifices madeby all.

Doctors and Students of Os-teopathy must keep the enthus-iasm running high, she added. Ilis essential and vital, along withco-operation, to make any convention successful and beneficiato all.

The arrangement of the Convention is splendid, sectional arrangement will give all attendingthe opportunity to attend programs in which lies their greatest interest. The benefit whiclyou receive from this wonderfuconvention depends upon you:attitude and broadmindedness t,


Students Enroll For

September, 1929

An enrollment which passesall in the previous history ofD. M. S. C. 0. points to a record-breaking class for September,1929.

The office reports they haveanswered more inquiries, writ-teni -more-- letter-s, -and se-it -otmore information than in anyother year. The school board iselated and a general feeling ofenthusiasm premeates the at-mosphere of the school. Suchoutlooks give every member ofthe faculty, the alumni, and thestudent body, the knowing feel-ing that Des Moines Still Col-lege is on the way to meet pre-dictions and determined to takeits place as the leading school ofOsteopathy-truly the Profes-sion's school.

Many of those now enrolledare planning on attending theconvention and many will visitD. M. S. C. 0. at convention timewith doctors of the field. It isespecially interesting to notethat the alumni and many of thedoctors of other schools areboosting for D. M. S. C. 0. andsending students to Des Moinesknowing the vast amount ofclinic material available and thevalue of practical as well as ex-cellent instruction in the theoret-ical and book knowledge.

Senior Day Plans

r During a recent meeting of theSenior class plans were discussedin detail as to the program forSenior Day at D. M. S. C. 0. Theplans that culminated will result

, in new ideas and features beinginstituted that will make the day

, one long to be remembered bythe class and every other studentof the school.

Instead of usual "class will"and other non-descript foolish-

t ness the Seniors will present ai program of talent which will be- a delight to everyone attending.1 Awards and presentations will be

made at this time which will- leave graduation night open to- the conferring of degrees andgthe presentation of diplomas.

Following the Senior programthe rest of the morning will be

Junior-Senior PromThe success of the occasion

was assured with the first danceof the evening as members ofboth classes started on a whirlof dance and frivolity. TheSeniors, guests of the Juniorclass, gathered early in an effortto show their appreciation of theextended courtesies of the class.Practically every member of bothclasses attended and with excel-lent music there was not a dullminute during the entire even-ing.

During the intermission theJunior class arranged an addedfeature and attraction for thegrand march, which resulted in agift of a beautiful rose to eachof the girls. This, in addition tothe clever programs and the ballroom of the Hotel Savery madethe evening a closing feature ofthe four years spent at D. M. S.C. O.

The Senior Class takes thismeans of thanking every onewho was instrumental in pro-viding such an occasion. Theywill soon leave D. M. S. C. 0.and go into diverse fields, butthey know that as Seniors theirplace will e well taken by the

Non-Frats Take LeadIn Baseball

"Judge" JohnsonThe opening of the Still Col-

lege baseball series were thrill-ers, one game being won by alone tally while the other was aslugfest with a three run marginfor the victors.

The Atlas Club played. IotaA--Tu igm· a atc +thbe^ -m i-tbegrounds and defeated them in afree hitting game 10-7. The vic-tors surprised the champions oflast year taking the lead at thestart. Long hits coupled witherratic fielding featured thisgame.

The memorable Still Bowl hasagain been remodelled and theother game of the double headertook place when the Non-fratsdefeated Phi Sigma Gamma by aclose score. One marker in thefirst inning was the resultingmargin of victory. Toepfer forthe losers and Hyink for thewinners each allowed only threehits.

The Non-frats continued theirwinning streak by defeating theAtlas Club and emerging victors.The game was featured by thefine pitching of Hyink, who hasnow won two shut-out games andhas a string of ten consecutivescoreless innings to his credit fora record performance. Longand timely hits were made byClark, Benz, Hyink, Cronin,Baldy and Reynolds for the Non-frats in a third inning rallywhich netted six runs. "Ole"Nicholson made a circus catchfor the Atlas Club, as he speareda seemingly home run. -- A --dou,-bleplay resulted.

A double-header is to be pre-pared for Stillonian Day. Thechampionship game is to beplayed between the two teams infirst and second place.

The arrangements for the An-nual Atlas Club picnic have beencompleted. The date has beenset for May 12, and we hope thatmany of our field men will findit convenient to attend.


Several things are quite ques-tionable around the house oflate, among them are: Why Bro.Peterson did not take the ad-vantage of the excursion thisweek and go to Malta. It mightbe that he is unusually busywith his school work and thereis a possibility of some domes-tic trouble at home with the fairone. Another is: Why Bro. Gep-hart wears a beautiful whitegold wrist watch and still in-sists upon the "pocket Ben".We wouldn't care so much ifeveryone was not- awakenedwhen he winds it before retir-ing.

The house is rather lonely attimes due to the many springdances and parties but with,careful planning the boys mightfind time to write home, andother necessary activities.

Nick Gill has taken a greatdeal of interest in his profes-sional work of late and we thinkwe know why. Being closely af-filiated with a "said" sister ofmercy he has to be wellinformed. In fact, we think heis in love. Bring her up, Nick,and let us meet her.

Now about the big time thissummer. ALUMNI! ALUMNI!Last call! Write in and makeyour reservations for the con-vention. Several of the boys cannot be here at all and others seeit necessary to return home andcome back, but it depends upon

how many plan to attend andstay at the house as to the num-ber of us to stay and make finalarrangements. You know thestreet and number, so drop acard and we'll be seeing you.

SIGMA CHI OMEGAC. D. Parry

The Sigma Chi Omega heldits last regular meeting at thePolyclinic Hospital on the even-ing of April 15. A much en-joyed meeting was held in thelibrary room, with Dr. R. R.Morden as speaker. Informationconcerning the past and presentpolicy of the Polyclinic wasgiven and nteresting facts onfoci of infection was includedin Dr. Morden's talk. He furtherstated that one of the largestsingle factors of disease was dueto these focal infections.

A thrill that comes once in alifetime was experienced whenthe elevator in which the entiremembership of our organizationwas crowded accidentally buthastily slipped downward andstuck between the first floor andthe basement, making it neces-sary for us to exit via the base-ment door leading to the alley.

We expect to hear Dr. SamuelMorphin, of the Flink-Eaton Co.,of Lecatur, Ill., talk on the pro-ducts of his company very soon.

We regret the recent illness ofParkinson and Somers and trustthat they will be able to be withus at the future meetings.

Our next regular meeting willbe on April 29 at the Y. W. C. A.

We will be glad to be of ser-vice to any of the graduatedmembers of our organizationwho are contemplating on at-tending the National Conventionin June, so feel free to write usand make your wishes known.

Brisbane Comments OnNormal Spine Week

"This is 'normal spine week',osteopaths will tell you,and thoseinterested in human welfare,old fashioned doctors especially,.should pay attention.

"The spine is as important tothe body as are columns support-ing the roof of a temple.

* * *

"The American Osteopathic.Society renders public service inmaking people think about thebackbone.

"Consider that long string ofnicely adjusted little bones, ofwhich the topmost, highly de-veloped, is the skull. Running,down from the brain, sendingout on both sides nerves thatfeed energy to the body, car-rying back warnings to thebrain, the spine is the mostimportant part of our physicalmachinery, excepting, perhaps,the heart and lungs.

* *

"Thousands of children arehandicapped by twisted spines,often slight curvatures, caus-ing pressure on importantnerves, reducing efficiency notconspicuous enough to causealarm in parents.

"Nothing is more dangerousthan reckless manipulation ofthe spine, by quacks; nothingmore important than carefullywatching the spine of a growingchild and remedying promptlyany defect.

"Some old-fashioned doctorsunfortunately adhere to the be-lief that no matter what iswrong, the only remedy is somekind of a medicine taken in-ternally.

"As regards spinal adjust-ment, you might as well give in-ternal medicine to an office build-ing with its steel frame workout of gear.

"See that your children sitstraight, that they do not leanover while reading to get a bet-ter light. Teach them to holdtheir shoulders back, use theirdiaphragms and keep the weightof the ribs off of their lungs.You will have healthier children,and do the same for yourself."-From "Today" by Arthur Bris-bane.

When a man is no longer anxi-ous to do better than well, he isdone for.-B. R. Haydon.

Better be overstocked withfaith than weighted down withskepticism.-Uncle Philander.

"The Best Prescription"

Wilfred J. Nowlin, B. S., M. D.The question as to what the

best prescription is, would de-pend upon the individual andevery man would have a differ-ent one and probably would beright. However think that theone I'll give is the best one forthe student now in school.

This subject is one which youwill hear all during the fouryears in school and we all laughat it until we get out in thefield, when our first case comesto the office and we are baffledas to treatment or diagnosis,then we think back at the advicethat this or that instructor hadgiven us in class when we hadsaid: "Oh, well, I can get thiswhen I get out."

Always remember that thereare always some good qualitiesin every man and even if you dis-agree part of the time, rememberthis is a free world and we havea right to think as we please, butalways believe a man untilproven wrong. Just because aman does not believe as you do,then do not condemn him for hehas as good a right to his opin-ion as you yours and in fact heprobably has had more experi-ence than you.

Every man who enrolls atStill College is here for the onepurpose of preparing himself forhis life work and he must cramin the four years all the knowl-edge that prepares him to startout into the field. Then whereshould he spend most of histime, in school, working for hisliving or in his efforts trying tomake the society column of theDes Moines Register and Trib-une? By far the most should bespent at school or working on thebooks. No, do not believe thatone should be a book worm foras the old saying goes, "All workand no play makes Jack a dullboy." The same applies verymuch while in school. Wouldadvise all to sit down and figureout what percentage of your timeis spent for different activities.

There is not a man in schoolwho would not like to see theOsteopathic Schools put on thesame basis with that of the Med-ical Schools of the country andit will never become so if thestudents do not co-operate withthe School Officials and attemptto master the "Art of Studying."

Which is best for the instruc-tor in a course to give the a b c'sof a certain course in completeform for the student so he willnot have to do any collateralreading or for the instructor todepend upon the student to getthe elementary work and he at-tempts to organize the work andclear up the difficult parts ofthe subject and give his own in-terpretation of it. It is utterlyimpossible for any instructor tolecture for 5 hours a week for 18weeks and give such completenotes that is unnecessary for thestudent to do any collateral read-ing. Another thing is that it isimpossible for any man to keepin his head the four year's worktaun'ht and what the main o.nhic

in teaching is, "Where to find,the stuff and how to find it." Onecannot keep complete enoughnotes which will suffice for suf-ficient reference when out in thefield for they are out of date ina short while. It takes the fouryears in school to find the key.to how to study, so my advice toevery man is to find the solutionas soon as possible. What is theuse of complete notes to use asa pony in an examination for youare not cheating the instructorbut yourself for when you meetup with an emergency in practiceyou will not be able to run toyour notes but you will have toreason it out for yourself. Whenlooking for the treatment of anycondition, you will want thenewest possible and not the oldobsolete treatment which youwill find upon leafing back overyour notes.

Start your library now andnot wait till out in the field,even though they tell you thatthey change nearly every year,it is worth a lot to know justwhere to find that which you areseeking.

Convention Advice AtAssembly

(Continued from page 1)all facts stated and then selectwhat you think best.

Accepting these few sugges-tions in every individual's mindand all carried through it will inno doubt make the most success-ful year for Osteopathy and thegreatest Osteopathic Conventionin Osteopathic history.

Following this splendid ad-dress the Harmonica Band fromLincoln High played many de-lightful numbers, which were re-ceived with much applause. Theband is made up of young boysof the junior grades and they de-serve much credit for their ac-complishments which were madepossible through the efforts oftheir director, Mr. Pollard.

The assembly closed with theschool song, and enthusiasm run-ning high to make this the big-gest year for Osteopathy.

Band Plays At A. I. B.The D. M. S. C. O. Band vis-

ited the American Institute ofBusiness of Des Moines, Fridaymorning and entertained thestudents at their assembly withsome of the fine music that thestudents of Des Moines Still Col-lege enjoy every Friday.

Dr. H. V. Halladay receivedmany compliments on the splen-.did organization that he has de-veloped. The band was receivedwith a fine spirit and reportsfrom the students say that theyenjoyed every minute of the en-tire forty-five minutes that theband played.

We, too, as a school, are in-deed proud of the organizationand earnestly look forward totheir staying for the conventionthat the alumni and the otherdoctors that attend the conven-tion in June may enjoy themusic of the D. M. S. C. 0. band.

My crown is in my heart, noton my head; not decked withdiamonds and Indian stones, noris it seen; my crown is called"Content."-Shakespeare.

Public Protection ByFingerprinting

The assembly of May 3 being-Judge Hubert Utterback's day topreside over the assembly wasfulfilled by Dr. H. V. Halladaydue to the fact that Judge Utter-

)ack was called out of town.The band introduced the assem-

bly with several delightful andpleasing numbers, one which

vividly recalled to Dr. Halladayscenes of his youthful days.

Harry J. Passono, fiinger printexpert of the State Departmentof Justice praised the band andaddressed the student body onthe subject "Finger Prints," thepublic safeguard. Mr. Passonoproclaimed that finger prints notonly helped establish the guilt

of criminals but protects the in-nocent. He exemplified the valueof finger prints of every indi-vidual and the consolation itwould bring to the vast numberwho are inquiring and answer-ing constantly about their lovedones who have wandered and areseemingly lost in the vast throngof the human race. Many aresaved from Potters field and thenumber would be increased if thefinger prints of every individualwere made an essential factor atthe time of birth.

M a n y interesting incidentswhere guilt or innocence wereestablished by the lone factorfingerprints, from some file of astate department of justice wascited as convincing facts to thestudent body. The check systemused in the police departmentwas also explained and provedto be of great interest.

In concluding the valuable ad-dress a demonstration was givenon the technique of taking thefinger prints of individuals. Theassembly closed in the usualmanner and the students left thehall with the importance of posi-tive identification impressed up-on their minds.

As You ThinkIf you think you are beaten you

are,If you think you dare not, you

don't;If you'd like to win, but think

you can'tIt's almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you'velost,

For out in the world we findSuccess begins with a fellow's

will,It is all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed,you are;

You've got to think high to rise;You've got to be sure of yourself

beforeYou can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always goTo the stronger or faster man;But soon or late the man who

winsIs the one who thinks he can.

Success is sweet: the sweeterif long delayed and attainedthrough manifold struggles anddefeats.-A. Bronson Alcott.

Editor ------- R. B. Kale


Editor's Farewell

The final entry has been made-the ship has run its course andit is with a deep regret that theeditor closes another journeyover life's sea. It has been asource of joy to keep the "log-gings" and to record them in theschool paper for the students,the profession and their friends.

Turning the ship and its paperover to the new editor, La VerneUtterback, who will record itsjourney for another year I do soknowing that he will guide anddirect his energies and thoughtsto a furthering of that whichwill build a better paper, a finerschool and a greater profession.

Time alone will tell but it ismy earnest hope that I some daywill find a new work to con-tribute to Osteopathy and dowhat I may to build a sciencethat will abreast the finest andhighest ideals of its founder, Dr.A. T. Still.

So with this issue I bid a fare-well to all who have helped andwho have so faithfully aided, es-pecially Dr. H. V. Halladay, thefaculty advisor who so generous-ly gave of his time and advice.

Now I turn to the new editorand bid him God speed.

R. B. KALE.

Our Ideas and ArtsIn every act of ours, in every

feeling and every violation andevery thought, we are consciousof a self which expresses its aimsand meanings, every idea ofours points beyond itself, everyviolation binds us in decisions,and every experience gets mean-ing by our attitudes. The mostimmediate task which life de-mands from us in the under-standing of ourselves and ofothers is, therefore, to interpretour ideas, to draw the conse-quences of our will, to appreciatethe attitudes, to measure themby higher standards.

From the present out-look -it will be a record crowdand you will be taken care ofbut perhaps not in the way thatyou would if you had made areservation earlier.

The ProgramThe program plan is unique

and you will enjoy it. From thevery start it will be a big circusfor you. Look it over carefullyin the June issue of the Journaland notice the carefully plannedarrangement of the sectionalwork and the general program.Dr. Chet Morris is setting a pre-cedent in program arrangementwhich already has brought outmuch favorable comment fromthe field.

EntertainmentMonday you will attend the

reception and dance in honor ofthe president. This is to be heldin the Grand Ball room of theHotel Fort Des Moines and withthe entertainment features addedwill start your recreational per-iods with the proper tone.

Wednesday is a gala day forrecreation. In the afternoon ifyou wish to cut the program youmay follow the A. 0. A. golfersaround the course. Or, if you arenot so interested in golf thelocal baseball club has recog-nized the meeting and is makinga remarkable offer to those wholike a good game of ball. DesMoines will be playing Wichita,Kan., that day. We do not knowwhether the staff of the DesMoines General Hospital will bepitted against the staff of theSouthwestern Osteopathic Sani-torium or not, but both had bet-ter be on the field to take careof the battery if for no otherreason. The local managementhas made a special rate for theOsteopaths that day and you areasked to bring your whole fam-ily. It is very likely that theband of the college will furnishmusic for the occasion.

The StillonianThe Stillonian for 19,29 is

here, and too much credit cannotbe given the members of theStaff whose untiring efforts madepossible the publication of thisannual.

This book gives a complete re-view of the administration andclasses, activities, organizations,hospital and clinic, athletics andthe various humorous incidentsof school life.

It is dedicated to Dr. J. M.Woods for his work of advance-ment of the science, the profes-sion and the school and hisgreat interest in the class ofMay, 1929, with whom he startedhis first class work in thecollege.

The book contains pictures ofthe building, the entire studentbody, the athletic teams, thevarious organizations about theschool and interesting descrip-tions of the departments in thecollege.

The book is one of which thestudents may well be proud, andwill serve in the years to cometo recall old memories of life asa student at Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy.

To the field doctors there area few Stillonians left and arebeing held for the conventionwhere they will be disposed ofand we hope that as many aspossible will get one of the mostoutstanding books ever put outby the Staff. They are few innumber, so get here early so youcan get one.

A Hint To Obstetricians

All ye who wisdom's courseperuse

Should hear of Dr. Brown,Who pellets grand with lavish

handDispensed about the town.

No winds, nor rain, nor gloom ofnight

Were bar to his appointments;For miles he'd go through driv-

ing snowTo ply his lance and oint-

ments.

Now in this town a matron lived(To see this ballad through

with)Who had more chills, and aches

and illsThan she knew what to do

with.She called the DR. twice a day

To treat some fresh disorder;Oh endless grind! to try and find

The germs that got aboardher.

But virtue was her middle name,Unselfishness her banner.

No matter what her dreary lotShe bore in Spartin manner.

The doctor mailed his monthlybills

To pay his daily hire;And then with nice self sacrifice

She tossed 'em in the fire.It chanced one day a stranger

cameA-seeking sanctuary-

The story (gay clown) had writher down

In his itinerary.

On Dr. Brown the task developedTo handle her confinement.

"If I'm not quick, she'll wantthis chick

Delivered on consignment!"

"Oh Doctor, is my babymarked?"

The anxious Ma inquired,"Or has he got some beauty spot

At that the doctor's color rose-He thought him of his fee.

"You bet!" he barked, "the in-fant's marked:

Therapeutic Use ofUltra-Violet Light

(An abstract of a paper by Dr.Edwin T. Wyman, read before theNortheastern Section of AmericanChemical Society).

Ordinary window glass almostcompletely cuts out all the bene-ficial rays and exposure out-of-doors is out of the question inmost cases because of the cold.Mercury arc and carbon arclamps have been used With goodsuccess to provide the curativerays. The exact effect of the dif-ferent wave-lengths is not knownwith certainty but the indicationsare that wave-lengths shorterthan 302 millimicrons are thoseof antirachitic value. It is be-lieved that the light used for thetreatment should approach asclosely as possible that of natur-al sunlight and for this reasonthe carbon arc is favored overthe mercury arc lamp for futureuse. Dr. Wyman found also thatthe sun's rays in Boston in thewinter months contain sufficientultra-violet to cure rickets ifwindows of quartz or Corningglass G980 are used for theirtransmission. "Vitaglass" hasalso been tried but the resultsare inconclusive. Recently ahouse was built on the roof ofthe hospital, and a large windowof "Celloglass," a compositionmaterial which has a transmis-sion of about 30 per cent of theultra-violet, installed so as to re-ceive the maximum sunshine.The results were entirely satis-factory and the slides showedthat sufficient rays passedthrough to cure rickets and givethe children a decided coat oftan.

Cod liver oil has been foundto have a decided antirachiticvalue and severe cases aretreated by light and cod liver oil.It is recommended that cod liveroil be used in moderate quanti-ties during the winter monthsas a prophylactic measure.

The efficiency of tne light as acurative agent has been studiedby X-rays of the bones, analysesof the blood for phosphorus andcalcium content and clinical ob-servation. All methods confirmthe value of the agent. Controlexperiments and tests have beenmade on rats and the resultsagree in all cases with those onchildren.

In the discussion of Dr. Wy-man's paper it was brought outthat the most plausible theory isthat cholesterol present in theskin is activated by ultra-violetradiation and this activated ma-terial is carried by the blood tothe various parts of the body. Asa proof of this, experiments havebeen performed showing that ir-radiated food materials contain-ing cholesterol and phytosterolwill cure rickets whereas the un-treated products will not.

Dr. Wyman expressed theopinion that much work must bedone before we can say that ul-tra-violet light is an importanttherapeutic agent for other dis-eases.

Contempt is a kind of gan-grene which, if it seizes one partgets the rest by degrees.-Dr.Johnson.

The Still CollegeAthletic Policy

The corporation of the DesMoines Still College of Oste-opathy met the 23rd of May. Atthis annual meeting of the execu-tive body of the college all mat-ters are taken up which pertainto the conduct of the institution.The past year was a successfulone as was shown by the re-elec-tion of the trustees having servedduring the past twelve months,but there was one fly in the oint-ment. Some of the departmentsof the college were suffering atthe expense of the Athleticteams. Following a discussionwhich brought out pros and consa motion was passed unanimous-ly striking athletic activitiesfrom the schedule of the college.

At the present writing we donot know just what this willmean. From the general tone ofthe student body since this wasfirst recommended we believethat it will strengthen the collegemore than weaken it or the movewould not have been made. Aresume of the detailed report ofthe athletic department bringsout some very salient facts, themain ones of which are that thestudent body as a whole is get-ting more interested in theirwork in the college than in at-tending and supporting eitherfootball or basketball. With theexception of those playing on the


How To Get To theCollege

To reach Des Moines Still Col-lege of Osteopathy when leavingthe Hotel Fort Des Moines comestraight down Walnut streetfrom the north entrance of thehotel four blocks turning to yourright on Sixth avenue and gostraight north up Sixth avenuesix blocks and you are right infront of the college. The collegeis a white brick front on thewest side of the street and facesthe east. It is the next build-ing directly north and on thesame side of the street as theChamberlain Medicine Company.The address of the college is 722Sixth avenue, if you cannot suc-cessfully locate it ask anyoneand they can tell you where StillCollege of Osteopathy is located.Be sure and be at the P. G.course and National Conventionbecause this will be the mostsuccessful and paramount con-vention of any ever held in thehistory of the Osteopathic pro-fession.

Resume Of College Year

The resume of the school yearshows the year of 1928-1929 wasthe most successful since thefounding of the college. The re-ports show that the financialbasis are the best that they haveever been and we are justlyproud to say that the D. M. S.C. O. is not in debt for anythingor to anyone and this is due tothe careful and diligent work ofMrs. K. M. Robinson, secretaryof the college, with due respectto the rest of the corporation.

Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy is the only school ofits type that is making its ownway without aid from the publicand doing it successfully. Thefaculty of the college is thehighest paid of any of its kind,they also stand superior to anyof the other faculties. This hasbeen proven by impressions madeat conventions, the ability of the"Doctors" graduated every yearis another convincing factor thatD. M. S. C. O. is superior to all.

Many additions have beenmade for the benefit of studentbody, faculty and the science ofOsteopathy as well as for the ad-vancement of the college. Oneof the recent additions to thecollege was the purchase of 200new class room chairs withbroad arms braced with steel forthe convenience of the studentbody. The college paid twelvehundred dollars ready cash forthese chairs which will be appre-ciated and enjoyed by all for thecomfort they will derive fromthem. The chairs are in transitnow and they will be here forthe P. G. Course and conventionso comfort and ease can be as-sured to all attending.

The reports of the Auditor,Dr. Gilmour, shows the school ison superior financial basis to anyother of its kind and the ad-vancement that has been made isdue to the diligent and constantwork of the members of the fac-ulty and student body.

The reports and progress forthis year are very gratifying andthe years to come will be su-preme even to this splendid year,not only in finance but studentbody and faculty.

Endowment Plan

Nearly two years have passedsince the college moved into thenew building. We are so firmlyentrenched now that it seemsyears since we were out on Lo-cust street. Years since we heardthe creak of the old woodenstairs and smelled the stenchfrom the basement after a heavyrain. One factor in making ournew home possible was an en-dowment plan offered by theRoyal Union Life Insurance Co.,of Des Moines. To date many ofour alumni and others of theprofession have taken advantageof this most generous policy andwe believe more would do so ifthey could be brought into closercontact with the Royal Unionand the college. It is to be hopedthat those who will attend theconvention will take advantageof the opportunity offered by theRoyal Union and get first handinformation in regard to thisgenerous offer and the greatgood it will accomplish. Thepolicy is mutually beneficial. Itprotects your family and at thesame time aids in more firmlyestablishing a most deservingcollege. When you add strengthto any of your colleges you areguaranteeing the perpetuality ofyour profession. If you have notdone anything in this line it isyour duty and should be yourpleasure. Your contribution willbe spread over a period of twentyyears and is incorporated in yourannual premium payment whichin the "group plan" is reducedto the minimum and you aregiven every advantage. Learnmore about this policy beforeyou invest in life insurance.

The New Healing

Last year we were informedthat a book was being written inEngland, based on the develop-ment, growth, trials and experi-ences of Osteopathy. We havejust read this book and feel thatit comes at an opportune timefrom an opportune source. Dr.Streeter, known in England asMr. Wilfrid A. Streeter, has writ-ten a most readable text. It isuncommon to find a book of thistype interesting. It is intended,of course to be instructive andis, but the personal touch makesit rise above other books of itskind. The price is 7/6 and it ispublished by Methuen and Co.Ltd., London. When copies areoffered for sale in this countryyou should have one in yourlibrary and read it. You willthen pass it on with pride toyour patients.

As a final urge and invitationto Beta's Alumnae, we again re-mind you that your home duringconvention time, is the ITSHouse, located at 692 Seven-teenth street. It is easilyreached by taking the Universitystreet car from the downtowndistrict - and getting off atSeventeenth and Woodland ave-nue. From there, walk one blocknorth, up the mountain.

We would appreciate a linefrom you, letting us know whenand at which station you willcome into, if traveling by rail.

Scandal about the house hasbeen greatly decreased sincemost of the brothers have re-turned to their distant homesbut nevertheless, there still area few things that need explain-ing.

Why does Brother Petersonwho is timekeeper at the HotelFort Des Moines, work overtim(so much?

How did Brother Hewlett losSeight pounds of "excess baggage'in one week?

Why doesn't Brother Gill con-fess that he is married?

Is Brother Morrow trying tobeat Dr. Bachman out of hispractice? Three cases in fourdays means little sleep.

When is Brother Steningergoing to attempt a duet on hissax?

How Brother Hewlett and Bro-ther Peterson got the ambition tomow the lawn?

Why there are so many ITSpins left in Des Moines, aftermost of the brothers have re-turned to their respective homes?

Brother Wigal, better knownas "Boston Charlie," was the last,to fall at the point of the "dart."

Any helpful answers to theabove questions would be greatlyappreciated.

The house seems like a morguesince Brother "Noisy" Herrickhas checked out for the sticks ofIllinois.

A letter from Brother Morganreports that St. Ansgar is still onthe map, and that the onion cropis a promising one.

More letters from the variousactive members would lightenthe burden of housekeeping, soget busy and do your duty.

If at all possible, be with usduring the convention.

Sigma Sigma Phi AwardsThe awards given every year

to the graduating class to the twooutstanding all-around studentsof the class were awarded toHarold H. Jennings for Profi-ciency, and Frank D. Dornbuschfor Service to the school.

Osteopath's Testimony IsAccepted Over That Of

Three M. D.'s

On May 14, Pasquale Capaldo,a hod-carrier for a contractingfirm in Providence, Rhode Island,fell fifteen feet, landing on hisleft chest, resulting in a shockto the sympathetic nervous sys-tem. Until September 6, the in-jured man received sixteen dol-lars per week from the AetnaLife Insurance company, whichthen acting upon the testimonyof three M. D.'s declared thatCapaldo was able to resume hiswork and discontinued payments.Suit was brought against thecompany. The case was pleadedbefore Presiding Judge Tannerof the Superior Court. He de-cided in favor of Capaldo, basinghis decision upon the testimonyof Dr. Richard E. Martindale,K. C. O. S., '28, who declared theinjured man ought to return towork, but should take up lightwork and gradually work intohis former employment.

When the counsel for the in-surance company demurred atthe acceptance of testimony givenby a newly-graduated Osteopathagainst that of three physicians,Judge Tanner replied that he hadonce had an accident of a similarnature and knew the effects ofsuch an injury might last formonths. He added, "Many peo-ple don't think much of Osteo-paths, but I believe they are ex-tremely useful persons!"

Thinks Silence DelaysSpread of Health Aids

By A. M. SMITHDetroit (N.A.N.A.) - Detri-

ment to the health of the peopleis a direct result of the "ethicsof the medical profession" as ap-plied to publicity, in the opinionof Henry Ford.

"It is all right for scientificallyqualified men to avoid quack ad-vertising, but there is a vast dif-ference between that kind of ad-vertising and the legitimate pub-licity due the public," Mr. Fordsaid.

"People depend on good doc-tors and the progress of medicalscience for the correction of athousand ills and accidents. Thepublic has the right to know whocan help in a given case, andwhat doctors, if any, have madereal progress in the treatment ofspecific ailments. Who will tellthe public?

"The doctors of the regularschool have made a fetish of pro-fessional silence, the purpose, ofcourse, being the prevention ofpersonal exploitation. The rea-son for this originally was good,and remains so. The purpose wasto prevent sensational quackerymisleading the people, and toavoid deception of the people bypremature or unproved claims ofnew discoveries.

Public Hears Nothing"So far as 'professional ethics'

protect the people they are good.But when they are used to pre-vent the people from gettingproved and tested information,'professional ethics' do not lookso good.

"Nearly every day sees somenew method of surgery or medi-cal treatment which is an im-provement on the old. :But thegeneral public hears nothing of itunless a controversy is stirred upabout it.

"It is true that marked prog-ress in medical science is prompt-ly reported by regular doctors totheir technical journals.

Who Is Responsible?"How shall the public be in-

formed promptly of improvedmethods of attack on disease, orof better methods of preventionof disease? Whose is the respon-sibility for getting the informa-tion across to the public?

"It seems to me that one ofthe first duties of the professioris to see that every step of prog-ress in medical science is giverto the public, promptly and fullyand in terms the average marcan understand, for the averagereader could not understand thetechnical language of the medicajournals even if he had access t(them.

Let Folks Know"If the 'ethics of the profes

sion' close the mouth of any doctor who has proved a new methoeof treatment, then let somebrother physician tell the goo(news. Let everybody know thawhen a certain ill befalls there ione man-at least one who caido the very best for it, or ca.! direct where it can be done.

"It was by a gossip method o

THE LOG BOOK

propaganda that I heard a fewdays ago of a remarkable sciencein the treatment of a certain dis-ease generally considered incur-able. I knew a person who hadbeen a long sufferer from thisdisease. I took the name andaddress of the doctor at once.

Publicity Needed"I contend that the fact that

he had made this discoveryshould have been given to thepublic immediately. It wouldhave saved much suffering andprobably many lives, for Ilearned that this doctor was ofthe highest standing in his pro-fession, and had described thenew method of treatment monthsbefore, in the medical journals.

"The company that holds thepatents, however, makes no se-cret of the product -where toget it, how much it will cost,what it will do, etc. The publicand the producer both rely onthis publicity as the avenue bywhich they can come together.

"In what respect do doctorsstand in a different relation tothe public?

"I see none whatever."(Copyright, 1929)

Now we make our debut to thepublic and doctors of the Osteo-pathic profession: "If Mr. Fordis such a firm believer in educat-ing the public to the advance-ment of the Science of Healingand the truths in our Medicalbrethern why doesn't he urge hisproject to bring to the humanrace the truths and advancementof the Osteopathic profession,that they may know and can de-pend upon real physicians whocan offer as much and more thanour "Medical Brethern" can everoffer. He should bring- forthfacts and achievements of theOsteopathic profession whichhave been intentionally misin-terpretated to public by men whodo not understand the theoryand principles upon which theScience of Osteopathy werebased.

"The Science of Osteopathyhas slowly and steadily advanced

-to an equal basis with the Medi-I cal profession without the aid ofr slander upon the other alliedL professions."

Questions Theory Thaif Disease Begins With1

Irritation1

New York - Statistics thaii show cancer to be on the in-e crease among human beings are

"at least open to question," Dr1 William J. Mayo of the famouso Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn.

argues in an article in the American Journal of Surgery.- "Reliable computations," Dr

- Mayo writes, "show that a greatd er number of people are living t<e reach middle or later age, ad which time cancer is more comt mon."s Dr. Mayo's first argument in that cancer may be the result o- agencies acting from within th

body, not, as once supposed, thIf result of an external agenc:

"which enters into the body at t:the point of least resistance, such sas a lesion caused by chronic irri-tation." a

There has been too little em- yphasis, Dr. Mayo says, on thefact that individuals "vary intheir susceptibility to the causeor causes of cancer, whateverthey may be."

"In no other way," he said, I"can we explain why 90 per centof persons do not have cancerous odisease and why 10 per cent ofthem die from it. It is as logicalto accept the hypothesis that the s90 per cent of persons havegreater resistance to cancer than 3the 10 per cent, as to attempt toforce an explanation of why only D

10 per cent come in contact withhypothetic canceri agents."

He classifies cancer into fourgrades, from the mildest to themost severe form and contends Tthat treatment of severe caseswith radium and the X-ray has vreduced them to grade one ortwo cases, which were amenable ]to operation.

PUBLISHED SEMI-MONTHLY Y THE DES MOINES STILL COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY

Volume 6 JULY 1ST, 1929 No. 24

P. G. Review

It has been the policy of StillCollege throughout the years toconduct its affairs on a conserva-tive basis. It has ever been opento advanced ideas along thera-peutic lines. The school hasmade a study of all proposedproblems of advancement andhave been open to any theoriesor procedure that would makefor the advancement of Oste-opathy as a science.

The question of post-graduatework, which has become a popu-lar notion with all schools, hasbeen considered by Still Collegefor a number of years. As theresult of careful observation andinvestigation the school becameconvinced that there was consid-erable merit in such a course,therefore, the innovation wasagreed upon and an intensivecourse was planned. It was putinto operation the week com-mencing June 10th, and provedto be one of the most interest-ing and successful adventuresever attempted by Still College.The number attending exceededby many fold that of our mosthoped for attendance. It wasmade up of about one hundredand fifty of earnest and enthus-iastic osteopathic physiciansfrom all points of the UnitedStates and Canada. Being con-vinced that the unanimous ex-pression of the doctors in attend-ance is a measure of the successof the school's venture. It is asound basis on which we makeour estimate that the post-coursewas a success from all view-points.

We can not but feel that itwas worth the time of those inattendance, and that they werethe recipients of much practicaland valuable information. Thecollege is fully convinced that itis a worth while venture and ex-pects to offer such a course eachsucceeding year.

DR. C. W. JOHNSON,President of Still College.

New Law in Maine

Many times have the oste-opathic physicians of Maine goneto the legislature to ask the priv-ilege of practicing surgery. Eachtime the medical men havefought them and won. This yearthe medical men made no oppo-sition of any kind to the requestof the osteopaths and Maine nowhas an osteopathic law that givesdoctors of medicine and doctorsof osteopathy equal rights.

Annual Still CollegeReunion

On Wednesday, June 19th, theannual gathering of Still Collegegrads was held at Younkers TeaRoom for all those wishing to at-tend. Dr. C. W. Johnson, presi-dent of Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy introduced thetoastmaster for the occasion, Dr.L. Verna Simmons of Grand Rap-ids, Mich.

Dr. Simmons called roll forthe past graduating classes andpractically every class was rep-resented by several members.The toastmaster then called onDr. G. H. Carpenter of Chicago,the past president of the ChicagoSchool of Osteopathy and Dr. C.W. Johnson. The Doctors ad-dressed the group on the sub-jects of Osteopathy and theschools as a whole. The meetingadjourned to meet next year inPhiladelphia. Let's see every-one there.

The following doctors andguests were present at the break-fast held at Younkers Tea RoomWednesday morning, June 9th.

P. G. Course Excels AnyPrevious Course

The first post-graduate courseof Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy excelled any courseever given of its caliber. Thecourse was compact, concise andto the point and was conductedby Doctors noted for their ac-complishments and ability thru-out the country.

The lectures were practical,applicable and invaluable to thebusy Osteopathic physician andwill aid in endeavoring them tostrive for greater advancementsof the Osteopathic Science in thefield and colleges.

Each lecture room wascrowded beyond its capacity witheager physicians attending thisunsurpassable course.

The praise and appreciationswere unlimited by all those at-tending, for the lectures wereflawless and invaluable to theOsteopathic Physicians all overthe country.

A nice sum of money was(Continued on page 4)

A Trip To Omaha

Dr. C. W. Johnson, prescidentof Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy made a trip toOmaha, Neb., where he was in-vited to-attend and give a gen-eral address before a gatheringof six thousand business and pro-fessional men of which the Ak-sarben Club of Omaha is com-posed. The club is an organiza-tion for the advancement of thecity and has accomplished manycommendable achievements. TheDoctor complimented the clubupon their progress and interestin the advancement of the city.

During the session the pro-gram consisted of many vari-eties of entertainment. We con-sider this an honor to have ourpresident address a group of thistype and feel sure it is of mutualbenefit not only to the men priv-ileged to hear him but to the pro-fession as well.

Convention Compliments

To the Osteopathic Physicianswho attended the National Con-vention and those who were affil-iated with this excellent conven-tion we extend congratulations.The Fort Des Moines Hotel hashad the privilege of being theheadquarters of many fine con-ventions, but never has anygathering ever excelled the Oste-opathic group.

The conduct at the conventionwas without a flaw, the manage-ment surpassed all previous at-tempts by any of the other com-mittees of preceding gatherings.The interest shown by all attend-ing this national convention wasappalling, the gatherings of oldclassmates and greetings ex-changed were as sincere as theentire work and entertainment ofevery section of the meeting ofthis outstanding convention thatwas ever held in the city of DesMoines.

We again extend our compli-ments to every individual whotook part in this Osteopathic con-vention and hope we have theopportunity in the near future ofhaving your great gathering andwonderful Science of healing asour guest.

Yours Truly,Hotel Fort Des Moines

ManagementMr. Northington.

DR. CHURCH ON RADIODr. M. E. Church of Calgary,

who formerly practiced at Water-ville, Wash., has given a talk onosteopathy over the radio eachweek for six months.

Post-ConventionalitiesA long time ago some one told

us that if one can please seventy-five per cent of the people, suc-cess is assured. Taking that fig-ure as a basis for observation wefeel that the convention was bet-ter than a hundred per cent suc-cess for the complaints were fewand far between or we had amost forgiving crowd to dealwith. Let us go over some ofthe divisions of' the executiveplan and see how they came out.

Registration. 755 Osteopathsregistered. More were there butsome objected to the $5.'00 feeand either "one-eyed" their wayin or stayed out of the entertain-ment altogether. Some who camefor Friday only were not chargeda fee and did not register at all.202 guests were registered. Moreguests were present but somethought that their wife was notworth $5.00 and did not registerher. Others thought the samething of the husband or other"distant" relatives. 96 studentsand 1929 graduates paid a fee.This we feel is a record. We hopethat future conventions will betimed to make it convenient forstudents to attend.' With the ex-ception of California each of thecolleges had representatives atthe meeting. 37 Juniors attend-ed the Junior banquet. This wassomething entirely new andshould be repeated. It gave theyounger crowd something to doall to themselves and they likedit. 84 exhibitors registered forthe banquet. This is a recordalso. That makes a fotal of 1174for the convention officially reg-istered. 1046 sat down to thebanquet table Thursday night.This beats New York and its rec-ord, at a national meeting. Maywe add a word of advice to someof you and yet it is hardly neces-sary. When you register nextyear see that you get your tick-ets and do not lose them or sendthem to the cleaners with yourother suit. Keep them handy allthe time. It will be harder foryou to get by next year on ac-count of your own negligence.

Reservations.

Halls. Here is where most ofthe complaint came in and themain trouble was with the sizeof the room. We have advisedthe next Halls and Furnishingscommittee to secure rubberrooms for the sections so thatthey may be made larger orsmaller as the need arises. Dr.Green of Philadelphia has as-sured us already that they willprovide such rooms for the nextconvention. Another thing; yousectional chairmen, write to thechairman of that committee andask for a room with the capacityyou will need. We heard allabout what was needed in theway of equipment but did not getone note as to the approximatesize room required.

Reunions. Strange, but weheard nothing but praise fromthe groups that met as fraterni-ties, sororities, etc. And thoseof you that do not belong to anyorganization missed a wonderfulentertainment Wednesday nightwhen you did not attend theFree-Lance dinner and show.

We were happy to have you.We are sorry it is all over andwe are already begging you tocome back again. Those of youwho missed the Des Moines Con-vention missed a real one andwill want to come the next timewe have the privilege of enter-taining you.

Pan-Hellenic Activities

The closing of the past schoolyear marked the end of anothersuccessful period of activity ofthe Pan-Hellenic organization.

During the past year, thecouncil purchased f o u r t e e ngowns to be used in the clinicaldepartment of the college. Theaccommodation offered by theuse of these gowns was gratifyingenough to repay the council forthe effort required to supplythem.

During the early part of theyear, the organization took anactive part in improving the pro-grams for our weekly assembly.Again, successful results wereobtained.

To further the interest of in-ter-fraternity athletics, a silverloving cup was purchased by thecouncil and offered as a prize tothe winner of one of the variousathletic tournaments.

The final act of importance forthe past year was the acceptanceby the council of a petition pre-sented by Square and Compassfor membership in the Pan-Hellenic organization. We feelthat this last step will be themeans to an end of accomplish-ing greater things in our profes-sional college activities.

The following is a letter of ap-preciation from all attending theStill C ol 1 e g e Post-Graduatecourse preceding the nationalconvention.

Des Moines btiii Collegeof Osteopathy,722 Sixth Ave.,Des Moines, Iowa.To the President,Dr. C. W. Johnson,

We, the members of the firstpost-graduate c 1 a s s of DesMoines Still College of Oste-opathy wish to convey to thefaculty and trustees our sincereappreciation for the splendidcourse of lectures made avail-able to us through your kind ef-forts.

The all around practicabilityand applicability makes it invalu-able to the busy physician andmakes us strive for greater ad-vancement of the art of oste-opathy in the field. This youcan be assured, your college andfaculty has impressed us with itsefficiency in didactic, as well assound osteopathic principles, inits application to the art of heal-ing.

It is to be hoped that thisfirst pre-convention post-grad-uate course, which in itself isan historical event, will be fol-lowed each year by greater andbetter classes for the promulga-tion and perpetuation of oste-opathy and surgery.

We, as a class feel that weshould show our gratitude in an-other humble manner, and there-fore, wish that Dr. Johnson inbehalf of the college please ac-cept a sum of money to be usedas they see fit. Given as a kindremembrance from the class.
