Still College of Osteopathy with the officials of the RoyalUnion Life Insurance Co., of Des Moines, the Still CollegeGroup Endowment Plan was discussed thoroly. We are happyand proud to report our unanimous approval of this policyfrom every standpoint. Our investigations show that it is

safe, sane, an excellent business plan and will prove a mutualbenefit to all concerned.

THE FUTUREA new light has appeared on

the horizon of Osteopathy. It isthe light of advancement, of co-operation, of good will, ofbrotherhood. It is the light ofprogress.

We have great plans ahead forStill College, and as Still Collegegrows and expands and its greatwork is fruitful, the general sci-ence of Osteopathy in its rela-tionship to the public is, ofcourse, enhanced. Only a lack ofappreciation on the part of thepublic is responsible for some ofour handicaps. But down at theroot of our problem is the basicfact that we must educate thepublic to the service of Osteo-pathy, and by closer unity andco-operation among ourselves,the great task of educating the.public can be accomplished. Wemust go about our work with amissionary zeal, realizing thatthe foundation of all success isbuilt upon service. Only thoseinstitutions that serve have theright to survive. Our constanteffort is to devise and adopt newmethods of gaining more pub-licity for the members of ourprofession.. We want your co-operation. We are doing our bestto deserve it.

WE ASSUME-We start with this assump-

tion, that you, as is the case withall individuals, desire informa-tion. In this particular instancethat information is relative to acertain plan, namely the Still

I

College Group Enadowment Insur-ance Fund. And being interested,either from an informative or a

purchase standpoint, you desireall of the related detail.

A BEGINNINGAll things must have a be-

ginning and there must be reas-on back of the beginning or theend will soon come. Osteopathyhad its beginning, it has weather-ed many storms and because ofits true worth has graduallyforged ahead. To maintain a pro-fession and to further its pro-gress there must be a source of'new members each year and thesemust exceed in numbers andknowledge those who for manyreasons drop from the ranks. Youare a member of a dignified and.useful profession and alreadyknow these facts. And you carlook back over the years, whetherthey be few or many, and offerconstructive criticism, which, iffollowed, would add strength toyour system. In tracing backthese weak factors in your edu-cation or your society, you findthat the basis is either a wrongpolicy pursued or the lack ofsufficient funds to carry out aconstructive program. This lastfact has held our profession incheck. Our schools, the sources ofnew energy and strength, havebeen handicapped. If some planis offered, that, with a minimumof expense to the individual willprovide a maximum of benefitsand results, that plan should beaccepted. Such a plan is offered.

One that will insure an institu-tion and assure the profession ofadded strength.

STILL COLLEGEThe college seeking this en-

dowment is, as you already know,the Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy. Founded in 1898 andchartered as a non-profit insti-tution. The first in our profess-ion to take out such a charter.The college is not seeking thisfund out of necessity. The planitself was suggested by the RoyalUnion Life Insurance Company ofDes Moines, from whom the col-lege is purchasing a new home.It was suggested and is put intoeffect in order that the collegemay be freed of debt at a timeearlier than anticipated underthe original contract. It has beenapproved by the Board of Trus-tees and the Finance Committeeand it is sound and safe and sen-sible. By it, you as an individualwill profit first. The college iscredited also, and in this act thescience as a whole is strength-ened. Still College is firmly es-tablished now, but if its prog-ress can be hastened, its sphereof usefulness and scope of ser-vice will be extended to the bene-fit of all.

THE ROYAL UNION LIFEINSURANCE COMPANY

The company, thru which ourownership of the new buildingis being made possible, is theonly one issuing this specialgroup endowment policy, andwhile the plan in itself is verysimple, yet.it is very unusual andit is a specially prepared copy-righted policy. The Royal Uniondoes business under the famousIowa Compulsory Deposit Law,Section 81741, Chapter 401 IowaCode 1924, which requires thatthe legal net value of the policyshall be invested in United

States, State, County or Munici-pal Bonds, First Mortgages onreal estate, or other approvedsecurities and deposited with thestate of Iowa. This statement ap-pears on every Still College En-dowment Fund policy and is aguarantee to every member be-hind one of those policies thatevery promise made in the con-tract will be fulfilled to the let-ter. There is no security evolvedby the minds of men more sureand certain than this specialgroup endowment policy.

YOU-Analyze your position. You are

a member of a community. Youattended and graduated from arecognized college of Osteopathy,passed your state board and haveestablished a practice. You areat the head of a family or per-haps expect to be. You seek anestate, for your protection laterand their protection at any time.There are various ways of secur-ing this. One of these is by in-surance, and this particular planshould appeal to you for severalreasons.

THE POLICYThis policy is a specially pre-

pared contract sold only to Os-teopaths and members of theirfamilies at a saving to the in-sured and for the twofold pur-pose of protecting the insuredand creating an endowment fundfor Still College. This specialpolicy and rates have been ap-proved by the Insurance Depart-ment of the State of Iowa.

The function of this plan,.briefly, is the use of life insur-ance as a means of accumulating:a sinking fund to retire first theindebtedness against the newStill College building, and sec-ondly, create an endowment fundfor Still College. The contract is

Osteopathy Without Limitation

The Still College Endow-ment Plan

(Continued from page 1)sold in units of $1,000. Each unitpays Still College a minimum of$200 whether you live or die dur-ing the first twenty year period.The face of the policy, or $1,000each unit, is payable to your es-tate or family as you designate.

Through the use of this en-dowment plan by individualmembers of the Osteopathic fra-ternity, substantial results canbe obtained at an individualsacrifice so small as to be hardlyworth mentioning. It is practic-ally certain that the sum involv-ed, owing to its smallness, wouldin the absence of the plan bewasted in daily expenditures fortrifles, and the large sum thatmay be secured through endow-ment insurance under this planmay therefore be ragarded as theutilization of a by-product-oddsand ends that possibly -would nototherwise be saved-for a noblepurpose.'

THIS INSURANCE PLAN ISSUBMITTED TO MEMBERS OFTHE OSTEOPATHIC PROFESS-ION AND MEMBERS OF THEIRIMMEDIATE FAMILIES BE-TWEEN AGES 10 ANDr 60. THISAPPLIES TO STUDENTS OFOSTEOPATHY AS WELL ASGRADUATES.

EASILY SECUREDAnother' advantage of this pol-

icy to the members of our pro-fession is that they can get ad-ditional life insurance for theirfamilies or- estates without anyred tape, 'without physical ex-.amination, if in good health andin States where the laws permit,and without any bother of per-sonal interviews with insuranceagents. This supplement you arereading is the agent. You willnot be annoyed by someone call-ing upon you and taking yourtime from recreation or work.You are selling yourself thispolicy.

THE LOW RATEIt is an important thing to re-

-member that the insurance pol-icy to be issued in this group en-'dowment fund is a standard oldline legal reserve life insurancepolicy under which the rate isextremely low, lower, in fact,than you could possibly buy inlike amount of protection andendowment from any other oldline company. The reason forthis is due to the fact that thispolicy will be sold by the Com-

pany direct to'you by mail andthrough the Still College, with-out the services of agents. An-other important factor in thereasonableness of this rate is thatit is being sold as a group prop-osition and not as an individualproposition such as it the casewith the ordinary purchase of alife insurance contract by theindividual.

This arrangement made by theinsurance company of sellingunits in this group endowmentfund through Still College savesthe commissions paid to agentsand other' agency overheads, thusgiving you individually the bene-fit of the reduced cost of thelife insurance.

AN EXPLANATIONThe plan briefly is this: The

policy is issued on the OrdinaryLife form. Much more than halfof all business placed in the Uni-ted States during the year 1926was on the Ordinary Life form.The policy is equipped with cou-pons representing the 'savings fortwenty years in stipulated guar-anteed amounts. The savings orcoupons are assigned in the appli-cation for the policy to StillCollege. The policies are issuedin units of $1000. One unit equals$1000, two units equal $2,000,two and one-half units equal$2500. Each member may buy upto two and one-half units, or$2500, without medical examina-tion, as above provided. Usingone unit as an illustration, thecoupons or guaranteed savingsare of such an amount exactly toaggregate, compounded at inter-est, $200 over a period of twentyyears. If two and one-half unitsare desired, the savings equal$500. Each unit represents aguaranteed savings of $200.

Should your death occur dur-ing the first twenty year periodwhile the policy is being main-tained in force, (using one unitas an illustration), your estateor family gets the face of thecontract, or $1000, and Still Col-lege receives $200, plus anamount equivalent to the ma-tured savings or coupons, andinterest. Under one unit, there-fore, Still College is guaranteeda minimum amount of $200-whether you live or die. At theend of twenty years all interestof Still College ceases and theguaranteed savings then can beused by you to reduce the prem-ium rate. You may change theprimary beneficiary from time totime as you ,see fit. The premiumrate is guaranteed. This policyis an old line legal reserve lifeinsurance contract and providesfor cash values, paid up and auto-matic extended insurance valuesbeginning with the third prem-ium paymeht.

ADDITIONAL POLICYDIVIDENDS

In addition to the annual guar-anteed dividends represented inthe coupons, there will be dis-tributed at the end of the fifthpolicy year, and at the end ofeach succeeding five year .period,an extra dividend direct to thepolicyholder.

PLEASE REMEMBER-

There are two important thingsto remember in analyzing thebenefits of the policy:

(1)-The death benefit (ex-cluding guaranteed savings) dur-ing first twenty year period is$1200 under each unit-$10100 toyour 'primary beneficiary, (yourwife, family or estate), and $200to Still College.

(2)-At the end of the twentyyear period all interest of StillCollege ceases, and the guaran-teed savings will be used to re-duce your premium deposits.(See page 3 for Table of Rates.)

Dear Dr. Johnson:Hurrah for Still College and

the new school. No news wasever more welcome to me thanwhen I heard about the newbuilding you had secured. Andno one cheered any louder thanI, when they heard it, althoughI do not suppose you heard meaway out there.

We had our state conventionlast week and Still College waswell represented by Drs. Walker,Bone, McNeish, J. P. Brown, Mar-quand, Jo Bowman and myself.Had a real good meeting andsome interesting and instructingwork. However, I fear my paperwas not altogether a howlingsuccess. Imagine me reading apaper on Obstetrics. Can you?

Here is wishing each and everyone of you a happy vacation inpreparation for the most glor-ious year in the history of StillCollege.

In case you find time hangingheavily on your hands, drop mea line and give me any availableinside information.

Fraternally,DR. W. E. MONTGOMERY,

Weston, W. Va.

When your work becomes atask, quit, you're in the wrongbusiness. Until your work is yourpleasure you can never succeed.

Editor The Log Book,Still College, Des Moines,

Dear Sir:Why all the glee?. Every ad-

vancement should be shoutedfrom the housetops. And I pre-sume a New College Building isan advancement. But it struckme an awful blow to think ofthe college not being on Locuststreet. And Sixth avenue. Whatdo we old timers know of it? Yes,I believe when I think of it, Idid go up Sixth once to put in awindow light for the Des MoinesShow Case Works (That was onSaturday-trying to make a lit-tle expense money.) Yes, itseems as though it was rathernice up there. But how are yougoing to get the soot? It seemsas though you all will be lostwithout that black soot driftingover from the railroad yards andthe factories. Let's see--I believethey made gloves just south alittle east of the old (there I amalready calling the present loca-tion in the past tense), Locuststreet building.

I guess the new location willbe nice and will mean as muchto the future graduates as theLocust street location means tome. But I must say that I ido feela great regret to think of thecollege moving from the oldbuilding. I remember how manytimes I have looked at the draw-ings of the building as it is andthe architect's drawings of thebuilding as it was planned to be.And I have regretted that it didnot develop as planned.

My hopes now are that in thenew location a greater buildingwill arise and the real collegewithin it will be the equal ofany.

Sincerely,DR. LEWIS BRUCE,

Lindsay, Calif.

You are not dressed for workuntil you put on a smile.

Win respect by being respect-able.

We have every right to brag from the extreme noise. It isabout our new location. Notice only a short walk from the Newon the map that the new home Still College to any one of the

big Des Moines stores.is more to the center of the Keep the little map for yourbusiness district and yet, away reference when you visit us.

This Ordinary Life policy gives protectionfor the whole lifetime of the insured withpremiums payable during the entire period.This contract carries cash values, paid up in-surance and automatic extended insurancevalues. It gives the maximum permanentprotection at the minimum cost.

Rates between ages 10 and 16 are as ofage 16.

Each member of the profession or his fam-ily, between ages 10 and 60, may .buy one ofthese policies in units of $1000. You maytake any number of units up to two and one-half, a total of $2500. If two units are de-sired, then the premium rate, of course, willbe twice the rate used in the illustrations.For two and one-half units, multiply rates bytwo and one-half.

Because the selling of this insurance ishandled';entiiel" yby the members of Still Col-lege, the savings thus created gives StillCollege a much larger amount of money oneach unit than could otherwise be obtained,and under the plan we expect to build up anendowment fund of $200,000 or more intwenty years.

N. B.ACH YEAR THE CONVENTION NUMBER OF THE LOG BOOK

and Little Stillonian seems to grow more popular. It is withpleasure that we are able to give you, in a small way, a report ofthe year's activities, and dare to make our predictions for the com-ing school year. This has been a history-making year for all of

the colleges. Still College has taken a big step forward with the others.

On pages three and four you will find practically the same familiar

faces as were present last year. The retention of the majority of the

faculty means a satisfactory and efficient group co-operating for the best

that all demand.

The same trustees who carried the college successfully last year, were

elected unanimously. No better recommendation could be asked. We are

also proud of our clinic record, which in every department surpassed that

of the previous year. These on page five.

graph relative to our New Home. This, is indeed, a -matter of history.

Pages seven, eight and nine, will give you something of our New Home.

To see is to appreciate. We hope you will visit us and be convinced.

Deviations from the schedule on page ten will be slight. Note the

Still College ClinicHE LAST TWO YEARS of the student's training is intensively filledwith 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 i,s shown by the relative number in thetabulation below.

Historical SketchBy DR. ELLA STILL

N THE SUMMER OF 1898 there came to De,s 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 Moines Still· College.

Those who were instrumental in starting this school were Dr. S. S. Still,

nephew of the "Old Doctor", Dr. Ella Still, Col. anid 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 faculty

which 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 degree

Doctor of Osteopathy, Up oa that timed the aates werenwn 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 the 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 aquisition 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.

The New Still College 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. Our new site and building is a great prideto us, and has come to us at a time when most needed. Our oldlocation on Locust Street has been over run for some time by the

automobile 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 aquisition of this fine building, which fulfills 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 busine,ss district.

STRUCTURE: Steel and concrete form 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.

FIRST FLOOR PLAN

The above illustrates the floor plan at the street level. This is mainly

devoted to laboratory work, with a pit in connection to enable the instructor

to gather the students together for lecture work. The shower room will

be completely equipped, an adjacent vault being used for athletic supply

room. The pit illustrated will easily handle seventy-five students.

SECOND FLOOR PLAN

In order to get away from the annoyance of passing traffic, the offices

and treating rooms have been placed on the second floor here shown. The

arrangement gives each of the officers a private office with reception room

and a general faculty room. Provision is made for thirty-two treating

rooms, four of which are to be equipped for special examinations. Ample

reception room space is planned adjacent to the offices.

This floor plan illustrates the lecture room arrangement which has beenplanned for convenience of the student. All of the main lecture rooms areon this floor, to avoid the confusion of passing on the stairway. Thesmaller rooms will accommodate approximately seventy students and thelarger ones about one hundred twenty. These six commodious rooms, to-gether with the pit on, the first floor and the laboratories on the first andfourth floors, provide us with double our former capacity for the accom-modation of class work.

FOURTH FLOOR PLAN

As shown, this floor is occupied mainly by the assembly room, the

capacity of which is over four hundred. Microscopic laboratories are placedon this floor on account of the light, and ample provision has been made fora library, book store and a room for the night aides, On account of theextensive work done by our clinic, it is necessary to have some one availableat all times to answer calls.

The Des Moines General Hospital

OT ONLY DO THE STUDENTS of the Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy enjoy the advantages of an extensive Osteopathic clinicbut 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. H. 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 and point to Des Moines as a greaterOsteopathic Center.

Athleticsx TILL COLLEGE is widely known for its Football and Basketball

teams, These two branches of Athletics are under the supervision

of Coach Frank Sutton, and this last season was closed in a mostsatisfactory manner.

Still's Football team played eight games, and altho they lost five ofthe eight, at the close of the season had accumulated 93 points to theiropponents 107. The most outstanding game of the season was with thecollege at Kirksville. The game being won by Still with a score of 21 to 0.The 1927 season promises well, with the new material developed this lastyear, as a background for an almost new team.

Still's Cagers showed excellent form thruout the season, playing atotal of thirty-two games, of which eighteen were wins and one a tie. AFreshman squad was developed, material from which will augment the lossof the graduating members, and we look forward to another big series inBasketball.

Organizations

There are numerous organizations in the college of an academic and social nature.

Men's fraternities represented are the Iota Tau Sigma, Phi Sigma Gamma, Atlas Club,

and the Sigma Chi Omega. The sororities having chapters in the college are the Delta

Omega and Axis. Des Moines Still College is the home of Beta Chapter of Sigma

Sigma Phi, national honorary Osteopathic fraternity.

In addition, there is the Masonic Club, the "S" Club, athletic organizations, var-

ious state clubs, musical organizations and the class group.

Through the activity of these organizations, the social life of the college is main-

tained. Numerous parties, dances and other events fill the calendar throughout the

year and assures the student of adequate recourse from academic staleness.

Student Activities

As in other institutions of a like nature, student activities are notlimited to those related particularly to, the fraternities. The Sigma SigmaPhi and Pan-Helenic Council, whose memberships are made up of repre-sentatives of all organizations, initiate many functions where the entire

student body takes nart. In season. ogolf.tennis and baseball tournaments are in prog-ress and the winners are rewarded with suit-able trophys. The band and orchestra furnishan outlet for talent of that type, and the as-sembly held each Friday morning, brings outa vast amount of student entertainment.

An important event at the graduation ofeach class i,s the presentation of the honormedals furnished to the college by the SigmaSigma Phi. A special committee selects fromeach class one who has proved himself mostsatisfactory in his Osteopathic work, and an-other who has shown particular interest inschool activities. To each of these, a goldmedal is awarded; one for Proficiency inOsteopathy and the other for ExceptionalService.

Des Moines has a number of convenientlylocated parks and recreation grounds, and itis not unusual for classes or other groups to

gather at these parks for breakfasts or picnics. Thru its theatres, the cityoffers the best in all types of entertainment, and theatre parties amongthe various groups are quite common.

DES MOINES"The Convention City"

DEQUATE TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES, excellent hotel ac-commodations, a friendly people and for Osteopathy, unexcelledclinics. These and other factors have made our city famous as a

convention center. These same features add to the desirability of

the city in your selection of a college. Des Moines can easily be

reached from any other large center of population. Accommodations are

reasonable and part time employment may be secured to assist in defraying

expenses. The people of the community are friendly to our science, as has

been demonstrated by the growth of our clinic.

The faculty of the college consists of a group or specialists, insuring

you the best didactic and demonstrative instruction.

Progress and success is the re-ward for honest effort and vigi-lance! Nothing should be mneoreinspiring to the Osteopathic fra-ternity of Iowa, and indeed tothe entire profession, negotia-ted for new College quarters.

Then the announcement of theGroup Endowment Plan for theCollege! Certainly this is a mas-ter stroke in placing the institu-tion on a permanently solid foun-dation. To my mind, insurancein its various forms is the moststabilzing element in the busi-ness world today.

I feel confident this plan issound; the Iowa Insurance De-partment would not sanction itif it were not. I am sure yourcampaign will meet with richsuccess.

My hearty congratulations forthe alertness and determinationof your Board of Trustees in ac-complishing a dream of years;and my confident best wishes forthe successful promotion of thiswonderful plan.

THE LOG BOOK

A Message from theDean

Dear Doctor:It has long been the aim of

the trustees of the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy tohelp our students in every pos-sible way. This has always beendone so far as producing men andwomen capable of going into thefield and caring for human suf-fering is concerned. Our exten-sive clinics and our efficient fac-ulty has always made this pos-sible. To this training with thenew building will be added, newand up-to-date equipment whichwill further elevate this stand-ard. We have also helped thestudents by making a singlelump charge covering tuition andall special fees as charged bymost all colleges. The studentknows what his expenses are tobe from the very first. Like-wise, we have placed tuition on amonthly payment basis for thosedesiring this convenient methodof paying. We have always main-tained an employment bureau forour students that they may se-cure work part time if they sodesire. One of the deciding fac-tors in the purchase of our newbuilding was that it is so cen-trally located and only about twominutes walk from the heart ofthe business center of DesMoines. This again is a great ad-vantage in the securing of parttime employment for the stu-dents. In this connection too, wecan not refrain from mentioningthat our clinics should bedoubled before the end of thisschool' year, because of this cen-tral location.

IF IT'S OSTEOPATHY YOUWANT, COME TO DES MOINES!

We quote from the A. 0. A.Journal for June, 1927:

MORE STUDENTS.How long can we expect those

who are bearing the burden ofcollege teaching and manage-.nent to carry on unselfishly, asmost of them do, when we give'them only half-hearted, meager:support in the way of studentrecruiting? For nearly everyone of our colleges could, thisnext fall, take care of twice-their present enrollment. Thesituation demands it. The op-portunity for these students wasnever so great, every state and:section of the country is callingfor new graduates. Why are wenot doubling our enrollment?Because we do not think aboutit. Because we do not workpurposefully to this end.A. S. O. in June, '24, and havesent four students this far, andhave prospects for three more.If we do not grow and grow soonwe will eventually be left to die

all my gratification that the DesMoines Still College has pro-gressed to the point where it hasbeen enabled' 'to acquire thissplendid property for the Col-lege. I am sure that this schoolwill result in a bigger and bet-ter institution every year.

I am happy to say that I amthoroughly enthusiastic over theplan to raise endowments for theCollege. I feel that one of thegreatest difficulties which everyosteopathic college encounters isthe lack of funds to adequatelyprepare in every way for our stu-dents. Any move for an endow-ment has my endorsement inevery respect.

After carefully considering theplan which is proposed by theDes Moines Still College I amsure that it is thoroughly practi-cal in every way and one whichshould meet the enthusiastic ap-proval of the entire profession.

I assure you that I shall be atyour disposal at any time to as-sist you in every way possible toraise this endowment to themark which has been set. Par-ticularly should this plan have astrong appeal to the members ofthe profession in Iowa. I amsure that every one of them willwant to assist in supporting thisinstitution which is doing somuch to develop our science inIowa.

With my sincere wishes forthe success of the endowmentcampaign, I am

For to these mengoes all of the credit for the pre-liminary conversations and thefirst draft of the propositionthat paved the way for the ne-gotiations which were latterlyto come to fruition.

It was this highly importantpreliminary work which won thesupport of the trustees, theunanimous approval and man-date of the members of thecorporation in annual sessionand which induced the financedepartment of the college to giveto the project, and it's subse-quent developments, enthusias-tic and wholehearted support.

But for Dr,. Johnson and Mr.Tucker, Still College would nottoday be occupying a quartermillion dollar property and belooking out upon the future withunwonted serenity and osteo-pathic education would be lessfirmly entrenched.

It, is a youthful profession,growing rapidly, untrammeled bytradition, free to seek the truthwherever 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 dillusionment 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 tothe actual progress of the humpn

family. These are the thingsmen live by.

The young man who takes uposteopathy will do so with theconscious knowledge that he willtake part in the formative pro-cesses out of which a greatscientific, and humanly helpfulprofession shall grow as the yearspass by.

Congratulations FromCalifornia

I note by the last issue of TheLog Book that you have secureda new building in a fine location,for a home for D. M. S. C. 0O.and am glad. Congratulationsare due the officers of the schoolfor putting this thing over.. Itwill be fine for all (teachers andstudents), to be so agreeablysituated.

The United States needs thekind of Osteopathic Physiciansyou will with more room andconveniences be able to graduate.I should very much like to at-tend as a student a full coursein your school.

After being in practice forover 20 years I am of the opin-ion that there is no professionthat will give more satisfactoryresults to young men and women.No man or woman has ever ex-hausted the resources of Osteo-pathic principles.

May you continue to prosper-so that still larger quarters willbe required. Best wishes.

ALBERT E. ELLIS D,. 0.Long Beach Cal,

Library

A really useful library andreading room is to be one of theattractions of the new building.And while the space devoted toit is not large it will neverthe-less accommodate the studentswho are likely to be at leisure atany one time. Perhaps in a yearor two more space may be avail-able and the library will growin volume, quality and patron-age.

A library is an intellectuallaboratory, as indispensable tomodern education as the lectureand science laboratory.

Periodicals, representing asthey do the very latest in cur-rent thought, practice and ex-periment will be most in evi-dence for the present. As theburden of the new obligation les-sens a generous collection ofscientific and other timely bookswill be added. It may be somepatron will hasten the day withan offer of the wherewithal topurchase. Stranger things havehappened.

Message from RecentGraduate

I am glad that the college isdoing so well and getting intomore commodious quarters. Itis great and I rejoice with youall. I am sure I hope to have asubstantial part in the further-ance of the old Alma Mater somefine day before long years havepassed.

The Royal Union Life

The thought has occured thatsome of the students of the col-lege, some of our alumni in thefield, and our friends throughoutthe profession might like toknow more about the RoyalUnion Life which issues ourgroup policy to osteopathic phy-sicians, osteopathic students, andto the immediate members of.their families, (which latter,however, must be good insurancerisks).

Questions naturally arising -inthe minds of those seeking in-surance are these: (a) Is thecompany financially responsible?(b). Is it likely to remain soover a period of time? (c). Whoare its officers, and (d). Whatis their attitude toward Osteo-pathy?

The Royal Union Life is an oldline reserve company. In assetsand insurance in force it ranksamong the first fifty of the greatcompanies on this continent. Itis growing rapidly, so rapidlythat, if it keeps its present pacefor ten years more, it will be agiant among the companies men-tioned. The sum of the assetsof this company is greater inproportion to its liabilities thanis found in many companies ofequal rank and class. And it isa matter of common knowledgethat big corporations, organizedas this one is, never lose moneyfor their policyholders, eventhough such a company should beunfortunate in some of its in-vestments, or suffer a temporarysetback through faulty businessjudgment.

Everything in and about theRoyal Union Life points to a per-- anriancy- -'and stability andgrowth throughout a long periodof time.

The writer knows personally,or by sight and reputation, thechief executive officers of thegreat Life Insurance Companiesof Des Moines probably thesecond insurance center of thecountry. For some of these menhe entertains great respect. Theyare good insurance men and realexecutives. But none surpass, inexperience, in thoroughgoingknowledge of insurance problems,in executive ability, integrity,and actual personal .success inmeeting difficult situations andbuilding a great and stable or-ganization, the present chief ex-ecutive of the Royal Union.

The other executives andcounselors of this company, notso well known to the writer, aremen of unusual ability somewith a long record of splendidresponsible public service to thestate-and with years of excel-

lent work and achievement in thedomain to their credit. That allappointive positions are filledwith highly competent men andwomen goes without saying.And at least one member of theBoard of Directors has beenprominently mentioned by hisparty as a candidate for thepresidency of the United States.Stranger things could happenthan his selection and subsequentelection by the voters of thecountry.

An insurance corporation is abusiness concern with a peculiarresponsibility, not to say asacred trust, to discharge. It

must conduct its affairs in keep-ing with the demands of soundbusiness. To write insurance,and ever more insurance and topay all of its legitimate claims,at all times maintaining a sys-tem of sound investment, is itschief concern. The Royal Unionis strong enough not to worryover the prospect of antagoniz-ing any considerable group andtoo big to need the patronageof a weaker group. If servingthe very real need of our pro-fession and our school in par-ticular, incurs enmity any-where, that will hardly be off-set by the gratefulness we mayshow, or the profits they maymake from our patronage. Butof, all insurance companies Iknow the Royal Union Life willcome nearest showing an abid-ing interest in Osteopathy.

That grows out of the per-sonal contact and experience ofthe officers with osteopathicpractitioners, extending over along period of time. They laborunder no misapprehension as tothe respective merits of osteo-pathic and medical physicians,either as family physicians or asmedical examiners. They arefamiliar, as laymen, with thework of our school and with thesuccess of our profession. Manyof them prefer osteopathic prac-titioners for both. self and fam-ily when sick or indisposed.Such an atmosphere is likely toresult in continued interest inand co-operation with our schooland profession.

The [profession in turn, andparticularly the alumni and stu-dents of D. M. S. C. 0., shouldreact to the generosity of theRoyal Union by seizing this op-portunity to purchase, to theirown advantage, the profferedsound non-medical insurance ata very low premium rate andat the same time, at no addi-tional cost, contribute to the en-dowment of one of the profes-sion's greatest schools. - E.

T'he Thrill That ComesOnce in a Lifetime

The D. M. S. C. O. students re-turning from their summer's so-journ elsewhere will experiencethe "thrill that comes once in alifetime." Not since the com-pletion in 1899 of the building cnLocust Street have Still Collegestudents had the luxury of en-tering a new college buildingupon their return to school. Andwhat the older structure was tothe "Ninety-niners" of a pastgeneration the new edifice willbe to the students of Nineteen-twenty-seven.

It symbolizes a generation ofOsteopathic progress, the begin-nings of a new generation, des-tined to make tremendous stridesin the advancment of the pro-fession. In possession of theoutstanding college building inthe city, possessed of the meansto a great endowment, withclinic facilities never surpassed,and a student body large andloyal and able, stimulated to ahigh pitch of endeavor, D. M. S.C. O. is about to experience thethrill that comes once every gen-ration-the second in the historyof the school.

THE CLINICNo great outstanding school of

the healing art was ever builtin a small center. No greattraining school for physicianswill ever be developed, and carryon all of its work, in a center ofmeager population. Good schoolsthere may be but not greatschools. Certainly not until theairplane gives cheap, safe, andreliable ambulance service; andeven then it is a serious ques-tion how far convenient andrapid transportation offsets theadvantages of propinquity ofschool and patient. Without asingle exception every greatschool of medicine, irrespectiveof where the early university in-struction is given, carries outthe instruction of the two clin-ical years-the Junior-Seniorpart of its course in somepopulous center, preferably thelargest city in the state. TheIowa legislature has made themistake of maintaining both theJunior College work and theSenior college work in medicineon the campus at Iowa City- asmall town. It has made rathergenerous appropriations for hos-pitalization, including every clin-ical facility of a physical na-ture, everything in short exceptthat sine qua non of modernmedical education-patients. Pa-tients to illustrate the processesof disease, methods of recogni-tion and identification, and thebest modern approach to thetreatment of disease. The re-cent troubles in the medical de-partment, culminating in thedisruption of faculty and disaf-fection and emigration of stu-dents, is the best commentaryon how the experiment hasworked.

The larger city affords notonly clinical material for illus-tration and instruction, but itusually offers to the school scsituated a higher class of dinical talent from which to chooseat least some of the clinical instructors.. Students of such X

school have the threefold advanage of (1) coming in contac'with and recognizing pathologyas it obtains in the living subject; (2) utilizing their own wit:and ingenuity in working outhe elements of effective treatment; and (3) gaining in confidence, knowledge and experienc,out of which proficiency growsby personally observing the manner in which clinicians of widexperience meet the problemof their practice. And no academic instruction whatsoevecan be successfully substitute(for actual experience in thproblems which confront thphysician.

In many states internship ser-vice and experience is demandedby statute of the medical appli-cant for licensure before he cantake the examination whichadmits him to practice. Thatdemand is to assure him ofgreater personal contact withpathological conditions on theone hand, and with the best ofroutine and emergency treatmenton the other. Only then is heconsidered a safe risk-safe forthe public and safe for himself.This period of "case teaching,"with the interne participatingin the care of the cases fallingto his department, will belengthened and not shortened astime progresses. There is a nat-ural limit however to all ap-prenticeships. The span of humanlife can not be made to coveradditional decades to suit theneeds of osteopathy and ortho-dox medicine.

Some compromise must bemade and it can best be made,and in the end will be made, bya change in the pedagogic meth-od or approach in presenting thesubject matter of the last twoyears. A better allocation oftime to special subjects no doubtsuggests itself. Lots of time iswasted today on specialties,which subject matter can bemastered in a fraction of thetime now allotted. And un-doubtedly there is much that isobsolete still encumbering thecurriculum. Practically every-thing now taught about reme-dial drugs will cease to clutterthe course of study two decadeshence. (And to think there areOsteopaths clamoring for the in-troduction of Materia Medica!)Whole subjects will be droppedentirely and more appropriateones substituted.

The emphasis will, in our ownprofession, as also in the medi-cal, come to be laid on athorough grasp of the funda-mental sciences: anatomy, phy-siology, biophysics and biochem-astry, as the indespensible foun-dation for the study and com-prehension and application ofpathology-dealing as it doeswith the cause, nature and pro-cesses of disease. The greatchange will come in the insist-ance upon undergraduate contactbetween student and patient. In-stead of a preponderance of di-dactics, as in the past, causes

tsymptoms, pathology, diagnosisand treatment will be illustra

- ted by and studied in the patient. To do this requires a con

-stant flow of clinical material o:a all ages and walks in life, anm-exhibiting a wide range of dis

t orders in all stages of developY ment. In short the student mus'- have in his undergraduate year

s the advantages which now act crue to interneship; and thegood derived from interneshi]- must be correspondingly ene hanced, or it will cease to be o3, practical, value.

- The student and prospective student of osteopathy who does not consider the clinical advan

tages and opportunities in hir choice of schools, is not alert td his own good, nor is he convexe sant with the verdict of long exe perience in the training and edu

cation of modern physicians.

Professional Education

Part OnePrimitive man encountered a

simple environment. To themodern man trained in the uni-versity to observation and therecognition of reality, the worldis bewildering in its complex-ity. It meets the modern mindin a thousand contracts where itmeets the primitive and un-trained mind once. And if thetimes are out of joint it is be-cause the world of modernityhas out-run the exteroceptorswith which the masses of man-kind are equipped, and with thelimitations of which they arenone too familiar.

And the university man, un-less he is intellectually as aptand alert in after years as dur-ing his period of intensive train-ing, will hardly keep pace withthe progress in his chosen field;and will find himself left behindthe advance in all allied fields.:If he happens to be a profes-sional man, he not uncommonlyfeels that the training demandedof the younger recruits of hisprofession is complicated andprotracted beyond what exigencyrequires.

But he forgets that the worldtoday is giving more of wealth,time, men, skill and thought toresearch and discovery and itsbearing upon the problems oflife than at any time in history.So that what seems an adequatefoundation today is little morethan morass tomorrow. And toregard the training of yester-day as adequate to tomorrow'stask is preposterous. Nothing inscience stands still; the horizonsof knowledge are daily beingpushed farther back.

In the practice of osteopathyas of medicine, how far wouldwe get without a profound graspof what modern bio-chemistryand the physics of atoms, elec-trons, and radient energy haveto contribute. What would weknow of physiology without aknowledge of the role played bycolloids: their physical and chem-

* ical properties and modes ofbehavior. The why and where-fore of the function of a cellwould be as inexplicable today

-as it was when some who findfault with modern curricular

, complexity went to school. Whr, would get anywhere in explana

nation of enzymotic action, anc-hence of living cellular pro

cesses, save as he recognizes itfas a phenomenon growing out o:i the essential colloidality of th(- cell! What we know of function represents what we knovt of ultra-modern chemistry an<s physics applied to the problem

of living matter.e The student aspiring t,p physician-hood who feels that h,

-may safely skim over the greaf fundamental sciences is not onli

badly counseled, but there is lite tle within to respond to counsel

windows await their final "soapand water," before the halls re-sound to the tread of hundredsof student feet, and echo thevoices of a multitude of in-structors.

The fourth floor is tenantedover a greater part of its ex-tent and will remain so for awhile. Two comparatively smallrooms are available and will beused for school purposes.. Thefifth floor has been altered bytearing out some partitions andputting in others, making a verylight, airy and cheerful assemblyroom, capable of seating thewhole student body and suchvisitors as are likely to be inattendance. The old assemblyseats occupy their place of honorhere and will continue to creaktheir approval of student orches-tration, enthusiasm and applause.

And while the innocent andnaive are assembling from thefour corners of the building, thebookstore bandits will reap theirharvest as has been the jollycustom from time immemorial.Enshrined in a crystal (silica)palace, at the back of thebuilding, the embryo microscop-ist will soon focus his all-seeingeye on the remains of the deni-zens of those great internationalcommunities, the tissues andorgans of men and animals andplants.

Just off the elevator thelibrary and reading room, solong in incubation, gives somesigns of growing into a sturdyyoungster, given proper care andcoaxing. And at the foot of theelevator, out in front, workmenhave removed plate glass anddoors and have bricked in frontand side, in keeping with the de-sign with which all are familiar.This change is not only utili-tarian, keeping the young chem-ist's mind in the vicinity of histest tube (a slight distractionhaving been known to emptyboth); but it enhances markedlythe outward appearance of the

Fund is growing by leaps andbounds. Inquiries are coming infrom all over the United States.Let us give you at this time, inbrief, the high lights of the planand the policy provisions.

This is not a selling scheme-there are no strings tied to theplan. It is a straightforward offerof insurance, without red tape,;an^:withoeut : dicalle : exaamn-inaien-at an extremely low rate.

The policies are issued in unitsof $1200. One unit is $12.00; twounits equal $2400; one and one-half units equal $180,0. You maysecure up to two units withoutexamination.

The policy per unit of $1200,in the event of your death, pays$1000.00 to your family. Eachunit guarantees a minimum of$203.00 to the Still College En-dowment Fund, whether you liveor die.

The policy is an old line con-tract. It provides for cash loan,paid-up and extended insurancevalues beginning with the thirdpolicy year.

The policy is incontestable aft-er one year from date of issue.

The policy is free from allrestrictions as to residence ortravel. It contains no militaryclause.

The policy participates in thedivisible surplus of the Companyat the end of the fifth policyyear and at the end of every fiveyears thereafter.

The selling of the insurancethrough Still College. saves thecommissions paid to agents andother agency overheads, thus giv-ing you, individually, the benefitof the reduced cost of the lifeinsurance.

The offer is made to all mem-bers of the Osteopathic profes-sion and members of their fam-ilies, also to students of Osteo-pathy and members of theirfamilies.

Next to the favorable premiumrate here is perhaps the mostimportant feature of this re-markable plan: while applicantsfor life insurance generally arerequired to submit to a medicalexamination, no medical exam-ination is required of applicantsfor these policies. This saves youthe inconvenience of a physicalexamination. It enables you tosecure one of these policies con-veniently by mail.

The matter of taking the en-tire group of Osteopathy underthe plan submitted is anotherfeature. The plan offers greatadvantage to Still College, but


Come In-The WaterIs Fine!

The Iowa Osteopathic Women'sAssociation has been functioningfor a little over two years, andin that time, its accomplish-ments have been such as to just-ify a feeling of pride in thisorganization.

We have maintained a boothat the State Fair for two years,f-rom -wh ih hu, ndre4:ds-f f:piece-sof osteopathic literature havebeen distributed and inquiriesfrom every section of the state,and some of the' surroundingstates, have been answered tothe credit of Osteopathy and thebenefit of our college. The wo-men of our *profession in DesMoines, each gave a day of hertime to assist the regular at-tendant at the booth.

We have placed the Osteo-pathic Magazine in every publiclibrary in the state, where thereis a member of our organization,when not otherwise provided.

We have sponsored public lec-tures, as well as held many so-cial meetings.

With the acquisition of a newcollege building, a greater fieldof service is opened to us in sup-iplying needed books, etc., to itslibrary. Hence, we are appealingto each physician to help in this.:work by taking out a member-ship for his wife, and to each:wife to help us with suggestions,:as well as by creating an interest:;in our work in her home town.

We are a federated club -city,state and national-which givesus the driving force of 30.0,000club women. If each one of yougives us your financial support,as well as moral support, we canand will accomplish more in thefuture than in the past.

The membership fee is only$2.50 a year-the magazine inyour library is worth that toyou the cause is a good one-there is work to be done-we areready, with your help, to do thework. It will take money to sup-ply the reports of our researchinstitutes to the library. It will-take money to put osteopathic-books and magazines on the,shelves of that library.

We appeal to you, as, good,.loyal Osteopaths, to co-operatewith us in this splendid .pieceof work by sending your checkfor $2.50 to our treasurer, there-by joining the ranks of the I. 0.W. A. for the purpose of ad-vancing Osteopathy.

It is hoped that this issue ofThe Log Book reaches all of youreturning students before you de-part for Des Moines.

Another thing that -has beenpreying dpon the mind of theEditor is this: "Have you enjoyedthe summer editions? What haveyou thought of the material andthe arrangement of it? Have wekept our College and the stu-dents who remained in town forthe summer, on your minds? HasThe Log Book fulfilled its re-quirements?" These are all ques-tions that the Editor would liketo know the answers for.

In the new building, beside thedoor of The Log Bood room, willbe a box, into which please putany and all suggestions, corplaints and contributions. Forall this, the Editor will be dulygrateful.

If this issue lacks "dope" ofinterest, bear with us, for whenyou all return YOU will makeplenty to write about. Thankyou.-The Editor.

Of Interest

Dr. Ralph E. Davis, Class ofMay, 1927, successfully passedthe Wisconsin State Board Ex-amination, including the BasicScience exam, and has receivedhis certificate.

We are pleased to note thatour graduates have been so gen-erally successful, and wish tocongratulate one and all.

The final proof of friendshipis to forgive him for makingmore money than you do.

The Value of ThoroughExamination

The osteopathic professionlacks business training and sales-manship. Except in isolated in-stances the general tendency isfor the individual .practitionerto blunder in blindly on a case ora consultation and trust to luckto get out with credit to himselfand satisfaction to the patient.

There is no definite method ofapproach; no attempt is madeto impress the patient with theimportance or value of the ex-amination, the manner of con-ducting the examination, or con-sultation (even though it divul-ges the correct information),fails to inspire the patient withconfidence. Conclusions drawnand recommendations made, toooften convey an idea of indefi-niteness and indicision, and theentire seance weakened, or 'hope-lessly ruined, by the statementthat the examination was free,or, if a charge was made, thesum was so ridiculously small,considering the services render-ed, that the patient, measuringsaid value by thq terms of theprice, considered he had at bestonly the most mediocre of ser-vice and gauged the individual,together with his profession, ac-cordingly.

The first impression of an of-fice, or a doctor, very ofter deter-mines the subsequent course ofthe patient. Neatness, cleanli-ness, refinement, and taste in of-fice furnishings, with attention,courtesy, tact, dignity and a gen-eral air of efficiency on the partof the personnel, will go a longway toward landing the prospec-tive patient's confidence.

The routine of the examinationmust of necessity suit the needsof the examiner. No attempt willbe made here to outline same.Sufficient to say, the case historyshould be carefully taken andpermanently recorded. A generalphysical examination should bemade and such laboratory ad-juncts resorted to that will amp-lify or disclose effects suggestedby said examination. This exam-ination should not be hurried to

the extent that the patient feelsthat you have not given sufficienttime or consideration to his case;neither should it be marked byimbecile procrastination or delaywhich may engender a feelingthat it is caused by indecision orlack of ability. The patient willthink none the less of you shouldyou say, "This is all I can do to-day. Please return at -hourtomorrow, or day after tomor-row, at which time I can giveyou the completed findings."

The legal profession never pre-tend to pass upon a case in-stantly. They must consult theirbooks and their authorities; theytake plenty of time for maturedeliberation and when they dodeliver a decision, it is with duesolemnity and elaborateness thatnever fails to impress with itsprofundity of detail, breadth ofinvestigation, time consuminglabor of arrangement and diges-tion of facts and the positive con-clusions that convey the impres-sion that they are the master ofthe situation. And the fee iscommensurate with the servicerendered!

They have educated the publicto that idea. The public expectsit, likes it, and pays for it ac-cordingly.

Verily, the followers of thehealing art could emulate withadvantage the business methodsof the legal cult.

It may look like a hard-heartedproposition, a retrogression aftera fashion, but in the end, thegood people would learn to ex-pect it, love it, magnify its vir-tues, and pay for it accordingly.

(G. J. C.)

Dr. and Mrs. Paul C. Marquandof Grove City, Pa., announce thebirth of a son on August 17. Wewelcome this new addition tothe Osteopathic family and wishhim and his family "Good Cheer."

In a Clinical Laboratory"How can you do this nasty

work," they ask, the dainty vis-itors, shuddering as they lookalong my table, where 'midshining glass and strange, fineinstruments are laid, bottles andjars of all the body's waste, atube of blood, a bit of putridflesh the materials that I workwith.

Listen, it may well be, when Ihave done upon this liquid here,the task my senses turn from,some new soul building in warm-th and darkness of the flesh, itshouse of life, may hear the word,"Pass, traveler, safely on yourjourney. All is well."

Or, when this tube of bloodhas yielded up its chemic secrets,one by one, some man worn withlong sickness, and blank hope-lessness, turning and turning inhis heavy mind always one ques-tion: "But the wife,. the child,how can they go on, and I notthere to help them," may see thewise, kind doctor smile and say:"Courage, this is not mortal.You'll still care for them."'

Or, when this bit of putridflesh has been frozen, cut, stain-ed, its structure all revealed andsearched through, cell by cell,some gray-faced woman, cower-ing in despair, under the awfulfear of eating death, that tor-tures long and long before itkills, may hear like clashing mu-sic on her ears, like burst ofsunlight on a darkened room:"Look up. Take heart. Thatdeath is not near you."

"Nasty?" This is God's work.

greater values to the individualOsteopath himself. His interestsare by far greater interests inthe individual policy issued.

Every Osteopath owes greatresponsibility to his profession.Every Osteopath owes some helpand assistance to the profession'sschools even though the contri-bution be small. The small con-tributor must not be forgotten.His share in the support of theprofession often represents agreater sacrifice than the largegifts of the most successful phy-sician.

This is the reason why so manyOsteopaths are welcoming theStill College Endowment projectwith such enthusiastic approval.It is a plan whereby you can addto your life insurance estate andat the same time help the pro-fession.

Our New School

When school opened on Sept.6th, Still College had realizedits long cherished dream, and,that was a 'new school, a com-modious structure, which, indeedis a wonderful improvement overthe last year's quarters.

A clean, bright, airy building,complete in everydetail,greetedthe students as they returnedfrom their vacation. By the

,,,,n n i thei;r 2facies, as ,then ew' 'ahd old students exchangedgreetings, everybody seemed ascheery and bright as our newhome. An improvement of thiskind has long been a cherisheddesire by the faculty, as well asthe student body.

Let us now recall the old ad-age: "Cleanliness is next to God-liness," and call attention to thecare of our commodious home.Remembering the much discuss-ed question of smoking, let usrefrain from communing withLady Nicotine at any time dur-ing our stay in the building. Ifsome one starts it, it will onlybe a matter of time until every-body-will be smoking every place,and all the time. So leave thesmokes in the "Tin Lizzie," untilthe "Halls of Learning" are for-saken to pursue an avocation onthe outside.

Again, let us be careful aboutdiscarding waste material, inplaces other than receptaclesprovided for same. This will, atall times, insure a clean, neatappearing home that we canpoint to with pride, and one towhich we can bring our friendsand patients at any time, with-out apologizing to them for the

. unkept, untidy- -condition of oursinstitution.

Are You Looking Fora Location?

Dr. H. A. Northrup of Bemidji,Minn., writes that for reasons ofhealth he wishes to dispose ofhis practice there.

Bemidji is a city of 8000 pop-ulation and is the trading centerof a hundred mile territory. Ithas several factories, a StateTeachers' College and is in theheart of Minnesota's Ten Thou-sand Lakes District, with threerailroads and three bus lines.

Dr. Northrup is the only Os-teopath within a hundred milesand is offering his lakeside sum-mer home with the practice.

Anyone interested in purchas-ing this practice, communicateimmediately with Dr. H. A.Northrup, Bemidji, Minnesota.

1927 Football ScheduleSo far, our very promising

team has a very short schedulefor this Fall. Of course, two orthree schools usually write forgames during this month, afterthey open and get their schedulearranged.

Coach Sutton desires and de-mands, this year as every year,rigid observance of practice per-iods. He also expresses his beliefthat our team should have, ifnot ' its most successful, at 'leastone of its most. successful sea-sons.

On September 24, Parsons Col-lege will invade the "City ofCertainties" where they certainlywill get some rough treatmentat the hands of our Pirates.

Then, nearly a month later, asour schedule is now, we journeyto Sioux City to give Trinity areal run for their money.

The following week, WesternUnion comes to Des Moines fortheir annual walloping, we hope.

On November 12, the Piratesagain leave their home watersand will try to raise their flagover the Buena Vista team atStorm Lake.

November 18th is the day wetravel to Indianola to attemptto beat Simpson.

Then on November 24, Thanks-giving Day, we, not only theteam, but the student body, too,travel to Kirksville for the an-nual clash with K. C. O. S., ourbiggest rivals. Remembering thebeating they received at ourhands at Homecoming last year,they will undoubtedly be aftersweet revenge. As Kirksville hasa very strong schedule this, year,ithe Pirates will have a rear gameto play on Thanksgiving Day.

With the new fresh blood onthe team and no false teeth, ouroutlook is the brightest in years.

Let's go, team!

To forget that is what weneed. Just to forget. All the pettyannoyances, all the vexing irrita-tions, all the mean words, all theunkind acts, the deep wrongs, thebitter disappointments-just letthem go; don't hang on to them.Learn to forget. Make a study ofit. Practice it. Become an expertat forgetting. Train the facultyof the mind until it is strongand virile. Then the memory willhave fewer things to remember,and it will become quick andalert in remembering the thingsthat are worth remembering. Itwill not be cumbered with dis-agreeable things, and all its at-tention will be given to the beau-tiful things, to the worth whilethings.

Endow Still CollegeProbably no subject in Osteo-

pathic circles in recent yearshas created more genuine inter-est than the Still College GroupEndowment Fund project.

Still College is one of the out-standing schools in the Osteo-pathic profession. It is the sec-ond oldest school in the profes-sion. It is a non-profit, purelyeducational institution. The col-lege is now housed in its beauti-ful: new home on- Sixth- Avenuein Des Moines. The new homeoffers greater facilities for labor-atory, lecture and clinical work..The purchase of the new homeby Still College marks the big-gest advance for Osteopathy inthe history of our profession inthe state of Iowa. It is, naturally,.also a big advance for the pro-fession itself.

You have not been asked to,contribute to the purchase of thenew building; in fact, Still Col-lege has never asked for anyfinancial support of any naturewhatsoever from the profession.

We must all agree that thereis nothing more important thatmeans so much to the welfare ofOsteopathy and its well beingand growth than our schools;and yet, notwithstanding thisgenerally accepted fact, thereare no institutions that stand somuch in need of adequate andproper financial support as ourschools.

The Still College Group En-dowment Fund is most uniqueand unusual. A special policy oflife insurance has been issued bythe Royal Union Life InsuranceCompany available only to Os-teopaths and members of theirfamilies;._.and.. stu dents of- Oste -pathy and members of theirfamilies. The policy is sold inunits of $1200 each. Each unitpays to your family or designatedbeneficiary, $1000 in the event ofyour death, and each unit guar-antees to Still College a mini-mum of. $200, whether you liveor die.

The policies are written by theRoyal Union Life Insurance Com-pany without medical examina-tion at an extremely low rate,and without the services of sales-men.

The plan offers you the op-portunity of increasing, undermost favorable conditions, yourlife insurance estate, for the pro-tection of your family and lovedones, and each policy so takenhelps Still College.

The policy is issued by theRoyal Union Life Insurance Con-pany of Des Moines, Iowa. Noother company issues this par-ticular contract. It is a special

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


Editor ....................... L. J. Grinnell


Welcome, Freshmen!Once again we have our own

horde of Freshmen with theirGreen Caps-and sad to relatenot a single bobbed-haired orlong-haired heart breaker in it.

According to a time-honoredcustom, these men should havetheir Green Caps and wear themat all times. Undoubtedly thelordly Sophomores will issueother orders and edicts within avery short time. And, of coursethe Upper Classmen are awaitingeagerly, the usual outbreaks andclashes, which annually happen.

This year's class appears tohave a certain air of solidity andstrength about it. Frankly speak-ing, it is, in all minds, a mightyfine appearing collection of menfrom all parts of the country.In a short time this conglomer-ate mass will feel at home, willfeel that they, too, are reallya part of this, the best dispen-sary of the world's greatest pro-fession Osteopathy!

It gives the Log Book thegreatest pleasure to extend toeach and every one of the mem-bers of the Class of 1931, a mosthearty welcome to Still College.The Editor hopes to have theadded pleasure of meeting andshaking the hand of each indi-vidual Freshman.

If any of us can help you-come to us and ask.

"Tell me truly, does the babyrePllv take after his father?"

"Yes, indeed-why, when wetook the darling's bottle away,he tried to creep down the cellarstairs."

The Means of Endow-ment

The need of endowment is un-questioned. The future of ourschools, hospitals and other in-stitutions is largely dependentupon attracting endowment.Hitherto, bequests and financialaid of any kind have been theexception rather than the rule.

Drives for money are costly,large sums being required to payfor the services of promoters,and usually a considerable per-centage of the pledges are nevercollected. Other devices for rais-ing endowments often fail be-cause of some inherent weakness,usually the burden, ' howeversmall, which is imposed upon theprospective d o n o r. Workableplans, wherein the donor partic-ipates in the benefaction, indeedgets the lion's share of benefitout of the transaction, and yetcontributes a material sum, areas rare as they are ideal.

From the standpoint of prac-ticality it would be hard to im-prove on the Still College Plan.It is based on the purchase ofgroup insurance by the profes-sion and its friends. In the bene-fits of this insurance the Collegeparticipates. It is an OlrdinaryLife policy. It has been preparedand issued for us by the RoyalUnion Life Insurance Company.For convenience, it is issued inunits. As many units may be pur-chased as the assured can use.No limit is set, save that set byyour income and by underwritingprudence and experience. Eachunit represents a total insuranceof not less than $1200. For this,the assured pays a premiumwhich represents the standard (atrifle less, in fact), premium hewould pay on One Thousand Dol-lars. His beneficiary (e. g. widow)receives this $1000. The D. M. S.C. 0. endowment fund at thesame time receives $200. Theassured has carried protectionin a good company at a low cost,all benefits he had any rights toexpect from such an investmenthave been forthcoming. He wasout nothing during life; his es-

tate is out nothing now. Buthaving carried this particularpolicy, has placed him on theroll of contributors to the en-dowment.

But why die to contribute?Why not live? On the expiratiorof twenty years, each unit irforce will enrich the endowmenteven more than would the demiseof the holder at any time withirthat twenty years. Thereafter theendowment ceases to participateall claims to any earnings on thepolicy terminates by terms oithe contract at the end of thetwenty year period. Dividendsthereafter accruing redound tcthe holder of the policy exclusively. So whether as individualswe live or die and we herebyresolve to live we may protectour dependents, build our estateand in addition -without spenny's outlay-endow D. M. SC. 0. and through it, Osteopathic education and progress.

The family also and friends ofthe profession and the collegewho are of insurable age, occupation and state of health, maytake advantage of the rate underthis Group Policy and therebyserve the college, as well asthemselves. And Still College ishappy in the possession of manyfriends who are doing just thatthough they are not themselvesphysicians. Some, indeed, are go-ing so far as to make the D. MS. C. O. endowment the beneficiary of the face of the policyWe are, certainly deeply gratefulto them for their generosity tcour college and their loyalty tcand confidence in the science ancpractice of Osteopathy. But irgeneral, we are not urging youto such liberality. We trustrather, that the inherent advan-tages to you as purchaser of theD. M. S. C. 0. Group Policy willmake you a contributor to thecollege, and thru it, to the pro-fession.

The number of units which maybe carried by Osteopathic stu-dents and practitioners as non-medical insurance (i. e. withoutphysical examination) varieswith the laws of the severalstates. Space forbids such a tabulation here, but a request to

It should be borne in mindthat this insurance must sellthru the mails no such rate andbenefits are possible if the cus-tomary commissions must be paidto solicitors.

A Trust arrangement exists, inand thru which all monies so re-ceived must be set aside and canbe used only for the endowment;save that certain obligation con-tracted in and growing out ofthe actual purchase of the newcollege property, may and shallbe liquidated in part by moniesaccruing to the Fund. Both bythe articles of incorporation (A.D. 1911) of D. M. Still College,which makes the college corpor-ation strictly eleemosynary, andby the Trust instruments cover-ing the present endowment inparticular, no individual, as such,can lay hands on a single dollarnow in, or hereafter to be con-tributed to the Fund. It may beused only under proper safeguardby the duly constituted Officersof the Corporation of D.M.S.C.O.for the one specific purpose i. e.the maintainance and develop-ment of Osteopathic educationand educational hospitalization;and the furtherance of scienceand of the theory and practice ofscientific Osteopathy.

The profession may rest assuredthat in lending wholeheartedsupport to this project they arenot contributing a single cent tothe enrichment of any individualnow or hereafter; but that all ofit goes to make for Osteopathyits rightful and permanent placein the sun.-(E. E. STEFFEN.)

A banquet, given in honor ofthe Freshman class, by the or-ganization, the night of Septem-ber 19th, at the Y. W. C.

Marshall gave the main ad-dress of the evening and hechose an interesting subject,"The Progress of Osteopathy Dur-ing the Last Fifteen Years."

Several guests, Drs. Johnson,Nowlin, Groff and Gordon werecalled on to make a few re-marks. Naturally our good friendDr. Johnson wasn't going tomake a speech, but-you knowhow 'tis.

Co-operation WithNature

We often speak of man's con-flict with Nature. Sometimeswe boast of man's mastery ofNature. When the human ma-chine gets out of order andtrouble ensues, the osteopathicphysician does not try to fight ormaster Nature. In the name ofOsteopathy he says to her, "Letus get together and work forhealth." And Nature is ready torespond. Osteopathy is just co-operation with Nature.-C. H. M

The EndowmentIn each issue of the Log Book

the past sixty days we have beendevoting some space to an ex-planation of the unusual andunique service offered by theStill College Group EndowmentFund policy underwritten by theRoyal Union Life InsuranceCompany of Des Moines, Iowa.

We have explained the policyplan and the various features ofthe project. Next to the favor-able premium rate here is per-haps the most important featureof this remarkable endowmentplan: While applicants for lifeinsurance generally are requiredto submit to a medical examina-tion, no medical examination isrequired of applicants for thesepolicies in such States where theRoyal Union is permitted towrite a non-medical business.This saves you the inconveni-ence of a physical examination.It enables you to secure one ofthese policies conveniently bymail if you are in good health.

The Still College Group En-dowment policies are issued inunits of $1,200. One unit is$1,200; one and a half units equal$1,800; two units equal $2,4100.You may secure up to two unitswithout examination.

This offer is made to all mem-bers of the Osteopathic profes-sion and members of their fami-lies; also to students of Osteo-pathy and members of their fam-ilies.

The insurance company re-serves the right, of course, to re-quire examinations of applicantsin such States where the law re-quires a medical examination orwhere the risk is substandard.

However, where the Royalrequires an examination, we arepleased to tell you that the Com-pany has agreed to have that ex-amination made by one of themembers of our own profession.

This concession on the part ofthe Royal Union is a very for-ward step in the onward marchof our great science, because asyou know, up to this time oldline legal reserve life insurancecompanies have steadfastly re-

fused to accept medical examina-tions made by Osteopaths.

But now we are establishingintimate relationships with theRoyal Union Life InsuranceCompany, and the action of theRoyal Union Life InsuranceCompany in accepting examina-tions from Osteopaths in all poli-cies issued in the Still CollegeGroup Endowment Fund is veryimportant to our profession andmeans much to its future.

In the United States there areapproximately 350 old line legalreserve life insurance companies.It will be of more than passinginterest for you to learn that theRoyal Union ranks among thefirst fifty of the great life in-surance companies in the UnitedStates.

We earnestly recommend. thatyou join in the Still CollegeGroup endowment Fund move-ment and pledge yourself for oneor more units,. This Endowmentproject means much to you pe-^.sonally and your family, to StillCollege, and to the profession it-self. You owe a duty to theOsteopathic schools, you owe aduty to the progress of our pro-fession and you surely want toprotect the future of those de-pendent upon you.

Act now. Send the attachedcoupon at once.

You cannot afford to delay.Take two units, or one and a half,or simply one. Insure yourselfand every member of your fam-ily in the Still College Endow-ment Group, thus adding to yourpersonal life insurance estate andat the same time helping one ofthe profession's foremost schools,and the profession itself.

Consume Your OwnSmoke

Courage!-be neither whiner-ior quitter. To whine is a piti-able confession of weakness-to.quit the ranks means the n. g.tag double-quick with all trim-mings. Stick! And though heart-sick and sorely tired, it is writ-ten that you'll get well.

The world has neither ear noruse for the kicker, the lonesome,nor the quitter. The grouch habithas been sent to the dump withgarbage cans and ash barrels ofeternal shiftlessness. 'Tis true,there are a few dead ones peram-bulating among us, but as a peo-ple we are learning that lifemeans work, and desire, andhealth, and happiness.

Life is a tragedy wherein redblood is shed and tender heartshurt. But the murmurings andwhimperings over non-essentials,by small and jealous souls thatsneer and sulk in the shadows ofirrelevant, unnecessary and un-called-for-and for those who in-dulge therein it is fearsome fail-ure here and a hot griddle at theright hand of Beelzebub beyond,the which is reversed for horri-ble examples.

We have buried doubt and fear-it is no longer to whine, butto do. Things cannot always goyour way. Learn to accept insilence the minor aggravations-cultivate the gift of tacitur-nity, and consume your ownsmoke with an extra draft ofhard work, so that those aboutyou may not be annoyed with thedust and soot of your complaints.

Happiness is the master-questof mankind-for us to seek insuch a manner as to help our-selves without injury to others.We are here not to get all wecan out of life for ourselves, butto try to make the lives of othershappy. And to benefit others, weourselves must be reasonablyhappy; there must be animationthrough useful service, goodcheer, kindness and health-health of mind and health ofbody.-(The Orange Highball.)

When to Start the Day

The best time to start the dayis the night before. For themorning-a clean shave, a bath,a clean shirt, a clean collar, anda clean conscience. For the eve-ning-a little self examination-an interesting game, or a goodradio program, or conversationwith friends, or reading.

The rest of the day? Oh! thatWill taKe care ol liseli.

Acid For Throat andLung Troubles?

From Germany comes the newsof a treatment of throat and lungaffections by means of acids in agaseous form. Dr. C. Thomalla,writing in Reclam's Universum(Leipzig), tells us how a certainphysician noticed that the work-men in departments of a factorywhere the air was saturated withvaporized acid had such an ex-ceptional feeling of well-beingthat other employees in the fac-tory made it a habit to go tothese rooms to eat their lunch.The factory employed acid tocleanse rags from adulterationwith cotton, which is disintegrat-ed by acid fumes. Closer investi-gation showed that workmen inthe acid rooms had remarkablysound respiratory organs andwere free from grip and coldseven during epidemics. It waseven observed that mild cases oftuberculosis were healed whenexposed to such an atmosphere.The observations thus made weretested by experiments with ani-mals which yielded excellent re-sults. We read:

"It was thus proved that airimpregnated with acid in gase-ous form exerts upon the bron-chial tubes and the lung tissue aslightly irritating and subse-quently hardening effect.

"Guinea-pigs were placed inan acidified atmosphere withcontrol animals in ordinary air,and both groups were infectedwith tuberculosis bacilli. Theanimals in the first group re-mained healthy, while the lattersuccumbed to the disease."

The experiment was then re-peated with human beings, and,after a Iperiod of observationcovering several years, it wasfound that vapors of acid simi-larly distributed in living-roomsand bed-rooms protected thedwellers therein from infectionof the respiratory passages andfacilitated recovery, this beingnoted especially in hospitals. Toquote again:

"Upon this experience is basedthe 'acid therapy' of Dr. vonKnapf, of Munich, which offersa simple method of curing colds,hay-fever, etc. The specially pre-pared acid is merely put in anevaporating dish and placed atthe bedside of the patient, sothat the air becomes chargedwith the vapors, which are thusdrawn into every crevice of thelungs and bronchial tubes at eachbreath."

Photographing theStomach

The interior of the stomachmay now be photographed, as an-nounced at the Congress of Meta-bolism, held recently in Berlin,by one of the delegates, Dr. Els-ner. Hitherto the examinationof this organ has been possibleonly by X-rays, but this is farfrom satisfactory since the radio-grams present only an outline.

According to a writer in Rec-lam's Universum (Leipzig) Dr.Elsner inserts a stiff tube suchas that which has been used inexamination of the bladder. Infront of the upper end of thistube is placed a tiny camera con-taining seven fims. Within four-teen seconds photographs of theinterior of the stomach are re-corded upon these, the stomachmeanwhile being kept in constantmotion.

The entire process, from thetime the patient is placed uponthe operating table requires onlyfive minutes and it is entirelypainless.

Detroit Osteos WinDrug Tilt

Federal Judge Ben Dawkins'opinion, made public yesterday,allowing Walter P. Bruer, De-troit osteopath, to prescribe anddispense narcotic drugs, estab-lishes the right under whichevery osteopath in Michigan willgain similar privilege, accordingto officials of the Michigan StateOsteopathic association.

Judge Dawkins' ruling result-ed from Dr. Bruer's demand fora writ of mandamus to compelFred L. Woodworth, collector ofinternal revenue, to issue a nar-cotic permit to him. CollectorWoodworth previously had re-fused Dr. Bruer, and all otherosteopaths, drug licenses, on theground that the state attorneygeneral had ruled that osteopathswere not physicians, and there-fore not entitled to dispensedrugs.

C00 Osteopaths AffectedEighty- seven Detroit osteo-

paths and close to 600 scatteredthroughout the state of Michiganregain their former powers underJudge Dawkins' decision. Imme-diate steps are being taken bylocal practitioners to obtain per-mits for the year 1927-28 and atleast a score of osteopaths willapply for drug licenses today.

Judge Dawkins' interpretationof the act of congress coveringdrug permits is that a permit isissued primarily as a tax and itis not within the powers of aninternal revenue collector to de-termine who can or who cannotobtain a permit. He cited sec-tions of the state law to sub-stantiate his conviction that anosteopath is an accredited physic-ian and therefore entitled to allthe rights of those practicingmedicine, so far as narcotics areconcerned.

Dr. Bruer's request for a writof mandamus was in the natureof a test case, sponsored by thestate association of osteopaths.Action was started in federalcourt in July, less than a weekafter Collector Woodworth de-clined to issue a drug permit toDr. Bruer.

Reverse for PotterCollector Woodworth's refusal

to issue permits to Detroit os-teopaths was based on a circularissued by Attorney-General W.W. Potter, who refused to recog-nize them as practicing physi-cians. Attorney-General Potter'sruling was a complete reversalof the view held by Daugherty,who had allowed osteopaths allrights accorded doctors of med-icine.

Judge Dawkins' opinion servesto quash the ruling of the state'sattorney general, which went in-to effect shortly after he tookoffice last January. Michigan os-teopaths first were given theright to prescribe and dispensenarcotics in 1903 and since thattime only three state administra-tions have declined to recognizeosteopaths as physicians.

Once the hard job was to letit alone; now the hard job is todrink it.

THE LOG BOOK

New Phases of the StillEndowment Project

The Still College Endowmentplan underwritten by a life in-surance company is possibly theonly plan ever devised by whichthe graduates and friends of aninstitution can endow the insti-tution, and while doing so, in-crease their own estates.

The possibilities of our endow-ment project are absolutely un-limited and we are advised bythe Royal Union Life InsuranceCompany that since the introduc-tion of the Still College Endow-ment project, a great number ofinstitutions, and even churches,have asked the Royal Union LifeInsurance Company to sponsorsimilar endowment projects forthem.

This great plan has been ap-proved not only by the Actuariesof the Royal Union Life Insur-ance Company, but it has alsobeen approved by the various In-surance Departments of the six-teen States in which the RoyalUnion Life Insurance Companyoperates, including the State ofIowa. This proves conclusivelythat the plan is mathematicallyand scientifically correct.

We are pleased to tell you thatthe campaign introducing theendowment fund continues togrow apace. A great many of theleading Osteopaths of the coun-try have already taken out poli-cies in the group. The variousStates represented are Vermont,New Jersey, New Hampshire,Michigan, Texas, Kansas, Minne-sota, Wisconsin and Iowa..

An ExampleThe policies are issued in units

of $1200. One unit is $1200. Sup-pose you are 30 years old. Underone unit you guarantee to yourimmediate beneficiary- yourwife, any member of your fam-ily, or your estate-$1,000.00 inthe event of your death. Secondly,whether you live or die in 20years, Still College receives aminimum of $200. At age 30 theyearly deposit required is only$25.91-which is less than 50ca week.

The policy is an old line legalreserve policy that provides forincreasing cash, loan, paid-upand extended insurance values.The deposit is a guaranteed fixeddeposit which can never be in-creased. The policy also partici-pates in the divisible surplus ofthe Company at the end of thefifth policy year and at the endof every five years thereafter.

Every one of the policy pro-visions is absolutely guaranteedin the contract backed by theRoyal Union Life Insurance Com-pany, an institution with morethan $24,000,000.00 of assets, fur-ther secured under the Iowa De-posit Law, which requires thatevery dollar of the cash value ofevery one of those contractsmust be secured by a deposit ofapproved securities with theState of Iowa.

As previously told you, theselling of these policies in theStill College Endowment Fund ishandled by the college and theRoyal Union Life Insurance Com-pany, without the services of

agents. Policies in the group areavailable to all members of theOsteopathic profession and mem-bers of their families; also tostudents of Osteopathy and mem-bers of their families. If you arein good health and a standardrisk, no medical examination isrequired for one of these policiesup to two units, or $2400. Youcan conveniently secure one ofthese contracts by mail.

Important ConsiderationIn every phase of the endow-

ment project the Royal UnionLife Insurance Company hasdemonstrated its willingness toco-operate. Here is the latestsuggestion by the insurance com-pany. If it is not convenient foryou to take care of the first yeardeposit under one of these con-tracts immediately, the Company,because no agent is involved,stands ready to arrange for thepayment of the first year depositto meet your convenience.

Certainly you will now under-stand that you have possiblynever before been offered a lifeinsurance policy under such fa-vorable circumstances, and pleaseremember, that each policy takenin the Still College Group En-dowment plan, besides increasingsplendidly your own insuranceestate, also helps to build theendowment fund for Still College.

There are no strings tied tothe plan. It is a straightforwardoffer of insurance, without redtape. If you have not alreadysent in your pledge, will youplease do so now? Insure your-self and every member of yourfamily in the Still College En-dowment Group, thus adding toyour personal life insurance es-tate and at the same time help-ing one of the profession's bestschools.

A man should. hear a littlemusic, read a little poetry,and see a fine picture everyday of his life in order thatworldly cares may not oblit-erate the sense of the beauti-ful which God has implantedin the human soul. Goethe.

Knowing When as Wellas How

Have you adopted the "dualsystem" of invoicing your pa-tients? It works. A surgeon whohad presented a bill for $300 forremoving a steel splinter fromthe eyeball of a patient was vis-ited by the aforesaid patient,who strode into the surgeon'soffice with malice in his treadand ire in his glance.

"Three hundred for a minute'swork! You must be crazy!"

The surgeon grabbed the state-ment, wrote for a minute andhanded another to the man. Theinvoice read, "To removal of onesteel splinter, $10."

"That's more like it," grinnedthe patient, pleased.

But the surgeon wrote again."Here's the rest of it,"' he saidsolemnly, as he handed the per-plexed man another bill, "Toknowing when to stop, $290."

The North Pole Special

Journey Number Two of theNorth Pole Special was made onthe event of the Minnesota-IowaHomecoming football game atMinneapolis, on October 22nd.

Doctor Halladay, his wife andtwo children, "Red Maxfield andArt Lyddon, constituted thetravelers who made their wayfearlessly into the far north.

They left at one o'clock onFriday afternoon, took time outat Owatona to eat and arrived atMinneapolis at nine-thirty. Lookslike a few speed laws must havebeen slightly fractured, but atany rate, they got away with it.

At Minneapolis they went theirseveral ways, after agreeing on aten o'clock start for home onSunday morning.

About the game-(but whytalk about that?) As you alreadyknow, Iowa got her usual sounddrubbing, to the tune of 38 to 0,from the "Giants of the North."

The gang all must have cele-brated a little, because Vergesaid that he thot that he wasdriving a hearse on the returntrip. All his passengers went tosleep. But he must have stayedon the job, because his drivingtime on the return trip wasnearly as good as that goingnorth.

Next year, Maxfield, ex-aviatorof the British Royal Air Force,says that he'll be "In the Air'again and that the North PoleSpecial will fly in 1928. Vergeand Art have applied for morelife insurance and are rarin' togo. So look for the next episodeof the N. P. S. entitled: "NowWe're in the Air."

Field NotesDr. Arnold Schneider, of Ro-

chester, Minn., writes that he hasa Taplin table, used 1% years,which he wishes to dispose of.

Anyone interested, write him,care of The Brown Hotel, Ro-chester, Minn.

Doctors Lilla Davidson and Le-ota Grosjean have rented a suiteof six rooms on the second floorof the Lindaman building, cornerof Main and Ferguson streets,Charles City, Iowa.

Dr. Davidson has practiced inthat city for a number of yearsin the Ellis apartment on EastClark street, which apartmentshe retains for living quarters.

Dr. Grosjean moved to CharlesCity from Des Moines last sum-mer and took over Dr. Davidson'spractice while she took a much-needed rest.

Infantile Paralysis

Interesting details of the man-ner in which infantile paralyiscases respond to osteopathictreatment were developed duringthe course of addresses and dem-onstrations held at the semi-annual meeting of the WesternPennsylvania Osteopathic Associ-ation, in Grove City, recently.

While the prograia-for fi the dayincluded a surgical clinic in theGrove City Osteopathic Hospital,and a number of addresses andpapers on matters of general in-terest to osteopathic physicians,during the afternoon and eve-ning sessions held in the Penn-Grove Hotel, from the viewpointof the general public the state-ments made with reference tothe success made in coping withinfantile paralysis based upon anexperience of several years, wasranked in importance with thevariety of surgical work dem-onstrated at the hospital clinics.

Speaking under the heading of"Infantile Paralysis," Dr. O. 0.Bashline, who with Dr. W. W.Rossman, conduct the Grove CityOsteopathic Hospital, developedmany interesting facts in con-nection with the disease.

Dr. Bashline stated that out-side of the osteopathic methodsof treating infantile paralysislittle progress has been made incoping with the disease.

The speaker traced the courseof various epidemics in the past,and pointed out that the diseaseprevailed frequently in limitedareas, citing as an illustrationthat in 1910 to 1912, thirty-twocases of infantile paralysis oc-curred within a three-mile radiusof Grove City. Of these cases, Dr.Bashline said, twenty cases weretreated by the osteopathic meth-od, with excellent results.

The origin of infection ininfantile paralysis, said the doc-tor, is unknown, but it is be-lieved that it might come fromnasal secretions, due to thefact that running colds oftenprecede the disease.

A demonstration of treatmentof an infantile paralysis suffererwas one of the features of themeeting, a child that had beenunable to use any part of thebody having been brought to thepoint where it can raise its head,its arms, and slightly move itsfeet. The opinion was expressedthat the child is progressing ata rate that indicates its recovery.

Uneasy lies the head thatwears a frown.

Do the best you can-that's allthe angels are doing nowadays.

AssembliesAt our assembly on Friday,

October 14th, we were againgreeted by our Band. The prog-ress that they have made in theshort time that they have playedtogether is remarkable. Betweenselections by the band, a readingby the versatile St. Amant andsome songs by Hubbard, roundedout the program.''.'The fodlowing week the Assemn-

The neces-sity of not only tolerance, butthe willingness to look at theother person's view of life withan open, unbiased mind, wereparticularly stressed.

Judging by the applause, thelecture was greatly enjoyed bythe students and visitors. Wehope to have more programs ofthis type, for they are wellworth while.

Review Course Begins

Dr. Samuel Fomon of Chicago,is again with us and started hislectures, Monday, October 31st.

Practically every student, withthe exception of the Freshmen,knows the nature of this MedicalReview Course given by Dr. Fo-mon. It is undoubtedly of valueto any and all undergraduates-and graduates, too.

With the thirty-eight studentswho registered for the Courselast Spring and the new registra-tions, there are over fifty takingthe Course.


Dr. S. J. Gilmore of Knoxville,Iowa, writes that the town ofBagley, Iowa, has no Osteopathand needs one badly. There is awonderful opportunity for someDoctor to get a good practice inthis town, as Osteopathy is invery good repute.

Dr. Gilmore will gladly givemore information to anyone in-terested, if you write him atKnoxville, Iowa.

It is all right to pray for thethings you want-but don't for-get to work diligently for thethings you need.

A Worthy Movement

DR. H. J. MARSHALL

A subject creating much in-terest and comment in osteo-pathic circles is that of :theS-tillCollege Group Endowment Policyas underwritten by the RoyalUnion Life Insurance Companyof Des Moines, Iowa.

To beat their best .our collegesshould always in a sense be inneed of money.

Every well-meaning Osteopathwho has the interest of the pro-fession at heart owes a duty toour schools. We owe it to theprogress of our profession.

There is the need uof the Col-lege itself for more funds thanit dare ask of its students, lestit discriminate, and there is thelatent, but poignant, desire ofthe loyal graduate and the out-standing Osteopath to -have hisname go down through the yearsto the sons of the College.

The Still College Endowmentis most unique; plausible andappealing. It has tremendouspossibilities.

The Still College plan is vastlydifferent from any other Endow-ment project we have ever ana-lyzed. Under this plan the prin-cipal recipients of the benefitsgained are the members of ourown families or our estate.

The Endowment interest of theSchool is very secondary. A lifeinsurance policy is issued in unitsof $1,200.00 at an extremely lowrate, on account of the groupnature. In fact, the annual de-posit for one $1200 unit is aboutthe usual rate for $1000 -of ordi-nary insurance.

In the event of death, $1000goes to your family and -$200 toStill College. In the structure ofthe policy, if you live for twentyyears, Still College receives ::$200as an endowment.

Sleep

"Sleep is the most important tthing in the world, more impor- Itant even than food. For we eatto sleep-but we sleep to live. cMen have gone sixty-three dayswithout food and a week withoutwater-but they cannot last morethan ten days without sleep.

"Loss of sleep causes a formof starvation, for the food we eatis digested and transmitted intonew muscle, brain, blood, andnerve cells only while we areasleep. Endurance-racers provethis. Those engaged in six-daybicycle races and other witlessforms of diversion eat four orfive times as much food as doesthe ordinary man. Yet the end ofthe contest finds them hollow-eyed and cadaverous from theloss of sleep more than from thephysical exertion.

"Sleep recharges the exhaustedbody-batteries and fills the or-ganic furnace with fresh fuel.Sleep is a positive process-nota negative one. It isn't merely astopping of bodily activity. It'sthe substitution of a constructiveprocess for a destructive one.

The study of geriatrics, whichteaches the care and treatmentof diseases of old age, is very lit-tle known to many of our medicalprofession, says Dr. Nathan H.Hornstine, of Philadelphia, writ-ing in The American Physician(New York). It has, he believes,been sadly and unwisely neglect-ed. The general cry today is thatwe must exercise all our care inbringing up a healthy and sturldyyoung generation. It is all goodand well.

Prolonging Life At ItsEnd

(Continued from page 3)weakness, apathy, defects ofspeech, vision and mentality, im-potence, hardening of the arte-ries. He goes on:

"Another theory is that whichis based upon a slowing down ofthe process of regeneration ofcells in the body that have beendegenerated and destroyed. Ithas been generally conceived thatthe body is constructed of indi-vidual cells, and as life goes on,the, cellular elements keep onchanging, becoming degenerated;new cells appearing to take theirplaces. This process of regenera-tion is more active in the young-er and greatly lessened in theolder individual. As an illustra-tion may be given the process ofrepair in the healing of wounds,when new cells replace the onesthat have been destroyed. Weknow, as a fact, that a wound ina younger man is healed fasterthan in the older man.

"The cardio-vascular apparatusundergoes marked changes in theaged. The muscular structuresof the heart and blood-vesselshave less elasticity. The vaso-motor centers are much less act-ive, thus affecting the blood-pres-sure. The blood supply is greatlyimpeded, which affects the vagusand accelerators, lessening theactivity of the aged. Upon thecardio-vascular changes depend agreat deal the blood supply tothe extremities, and the impedi-mnent of this supply causes senilegangrene.

"The respiratory apparatus un-dergoes many changes. The aircells become atrophied, the pow-er of oxygenation becomes im-paired, air impurities find accesswith consequences that lead tobronchitis, asthma, and pneumo-nia. The latter condition, if de-veloped, becomes more dangerousand fatal than in the younger in-dividual.

The cerebral changes and thoseof the central nervous systemplay a great part, affecting thepsychic and intellectual powersof the old individual. Thesechanges in the course of infec-tious diseases lead to such mani-festations as delirium, coma, andmeningitis, and in many instancesendanger the prognosis in a giv-en diseases.

"Again, other authorities claimthat senility is due to a degen-erated process in the nerve cellsof the brain and spinal cord. Ithas also been stated that a de-generative process in the vaguscells causes a lessened functionof the organs that finally leads toa general standstill.

"It is, however, a proven factthat old age begins with a gradu-al process of change in everyglandular structure of the bodydue to a lessened intake of nour-ishment and a greater excess ofwaste, which results in the de-struction of tissues.

"Aging may be different in dif-ferent individuals, races and oc-cupations. In a good many in-stances it has to do with personalpsychic conditions and with theenvironment.

"We must bear in mind that in

many instances the cause of ag-ing quickly is due to the factthat certain individuals retirefrom active life and start 'takingit easy' too soon, whether it isthe rich who can afford it or theworkman who retires on a pen-sion. In these retired people themortality of old age is greaterthan in those who remain longerin active life. I believe the ageof retirement should be from sev-enty to seventy-five.

"It must, however, be borne inmind that the activites of theaged should not be too strenuous.It should be measured propor-tionately with the strength ofeach individual, taking carechiefly of the strength of theheart muscle and the arterialtension.

"Height and weight show vari-ations in the aged. It has beengenerally accepted that thegrowth of a man proceeds untilhe reaches the age of thirty andremains stationary until fifty,then it shortens as age is pro-gressing by small fractions. Thesechanges are due to a senile ky-phosis of the vertibrae and pel-vic bones.

"The loss in the general bodyweight depends upon the robust-ness of each individual. The in-ternal organs, however, lessen inweight very markedly."

Is old age a disease or a natu-ral sequence of life's existence?Can we compare life to a lampthat burns oil, which as soon asthe oil givesout, begins to flickeruntil it dies? Can we not addmore oil and keep it burninglonger? Dr. Hornstine believesthat we can, by carefully watch-ing and not letting the oil godown very low. He proceeds:

"The old Roman philosopher,Seneca, wisely said: Old age is it-self a disease. Yes, and it mustbe treated as such. Just as weare anxiously concerned for thelife of a -patient while treatinghim for pneumonia or typhoid fe-ver, so must we be concerned intreating the aged by instructingthem in the care and mode of liv-ing after they attain the age offifty.

"We'must teach that it is nec-essarv during the years of young-

er manhood not to spend all oflife's resources and energy, butto save and store away enough tocreate a reserve force for the lat-er years of life; like the mer-chant who arranges that his ex-penses shall not exceed his in-come and provides for a reservefund in case of necessity.

"By keeping the body and mindactive, by constantly watchingthat the organs of secretion andexcretion are performing theirproper duties, and mainly bykeeping the head cool and thefeet warm, death can be deferredfor a long while.

"They are to be taught whenand what and how to eat. Whena man is hungry he will relish aplain slice of bread more than afull course meal, when he is nothungry. The sensation of feel-ing hungry is better than an ap-petite. Very rarely men grow illor die of hunger, while most ofthe ailments and even death aredue to overeating.

"Light, digestible, nourishingfoods are to be partaken of at thefollowing intervals: eight, twelve,six, ten. The last meal at ten P.M. should consist only of a cup ofweak tea or skimmed milk, aslice or two of toasted bread, anda small dish of stewed prunes.Avoiding at all times overeating.It is best to leave the table withone bite less than one bite toomuch,

"Plenty of fresh air and sun-shine, frequent warm baths, andlight exercises, being, however,careful not to overtax the heart.Elimination of waste must bewatched with more rigor thaneven the intake of nourishment.The penting up of waste productsin the intestinal and urinarytracts leads to a great many seri-ous consequences in the aged.

"As to the treatment by medi-cation, there are no specific drugsthat could be used to preventold age. As I have stated, allthese balsams and elixirs of life,the transplantation of animalglands, will not keep any oneyoung. Only such drugs are to beused as are indicated by the con-dition of the individual patient.

"There are, however, a fewglandular products (endocrines)

which may be given in conjunc-which may be given in conjunc-tion with other drugs in manyasthenic conditions, and onlythen when such drugs are calledfor in each individual case.

"It has been asserted by manyinvestigators, and also proven inmany of my own cases, that theendocrine glands, by their directaction upon the cellular ele-ments, exert a stimulating effectupon the reconstruction of thesecells, facilitating their activityand greatly increasing their toneby a catalytic action upon thesecells.

"This is one important reasonwhy these endocrine glands maybe advised in the treatment ofasthenic individuals to overcomethat post-toxic, infectious, oremotional stress in influenzapneumonia, typhoid fever andmany other inflammatory condi-tions that leave the individual ina state of fatigue,."-(LiteraryDigest..)

Homecoming as a FroshSees It

The arrival of Homecoming atanytime is an auspicious occasion,but this Fall it assumes evengreater significance than ever be-fore. Homecoming holds a placein the heart of the alumnus.Graduates from all parts of thecountry will visit their AlmaMater.

The purpose of Homecoming isto renew the friendships thathave been made as a result of as-sociations made at Still. To thegraduate member of a fraternity,it.means an opportunity to bringto mind the many happy eventsthat took place "in the good olddays."

Still College today occupies amodern building, complete withthe best of facilities, for thefurthering of the science of Os-teopathy. It is the realization ofa dream, further proof of the in-tegrity of Osteopathy. To thepublic, it means greater facilitiesfor the better handling of theclinics.

The Freshman at this timemeets a physician that has beenout in the field. At once he re-alizes that before many years, hewill be one of the many in thefield. This meeting :is of greatvalue to the Freshman, becausethe inevitable feeling of skepti-cism has left him once and forall.

The annual Homecoming gamewill give the graduate an oppor-tunity to give vent to his feel-ings, and to bring to mind theyells that at one time were ut-tered in token of some feat byan old classmate.

This year, Homecoming occursone week before the invasion ofKirksville. Thus, we have two bigevents in successive weeks. Itshould be the duty of every stu-dent of Still to help make thesedays the red letter days of theschool year. We have a new build-ing; why not show a new spiritcommensurate with the advance-ment of Osteopathy in the cityof Des Moines?

Come on students and gradu-ates-let's go! Be at the gameand when it is over, be at thedance-it is for the entertain-ment of all students and gradu-ates-not for the few, alone, whoare in evidence at these func-tions, usually.

If you have something to sayworth saying the grammaticalconstruction is of secondary im-portance.

If laws really made peoplegood, you couldn't hear a cannonfor the rustle of wings.

AssemblyThe Assembly on Friday morn-

ing, October 28, was turned overto the 1928 Stillonian Staff.

Each member of the staff andhis assistants was introduced tothe student body and had a fewwords to say as to the qualityof the 1928 publication. From allindications, it will be the bestyet published,. The fact that eachand every student from Fresh-man to Senior, could ill affordnot to subscribe for a Stillonian,was stressed by all.

Dr. "Virg" spoke in much favorof the desirability of the YearBook in the years to come, whenwe get out into the field.

The "Musical Ramblers" fromthe Iota Tau Sigma House, en-tertained with several "hot"selections. They are to be con-.gratulated for the talent shown.

Due to the failure of appear-ance of the entertainers on Nov.4th, the Assembly was dismissedand classes were held as usual.

Proctology ClinicRectal diseases have for many

years been looked upon by thegeneral practitioner as not with-in the. limits of his legitimatefield, although it seems difficultto understand why this should be.Surely it i,s not that they lackin importance, nor, indeed, thattheir prevalence is so sporadicas to render their study and ef-forts, toward their alleviationunprofitable, for every physicianin practice is fully conversantwith the misery and torture rec-tal diseases inflict upon those un-fortunate .'enough to .have ...devel-oped- them.

Realizing the responsibility ofthe Osteopathic physician to hisclientele, we have opened ourclinic to those affected with var-ious rectal diseases. This depart-ment has examined and treatedby ambulant methods, some fortycases. The calls for this class ofwork are increasing, therefore,the Seniors are all enthusedabout the amount of relief theyare able to give these hithertoneglected ones.

Case reports will be given inan early issue.

October 0. B.Forest Schaeffer, assistant ob-

stetrician, reports sixteen casesduring the month of October.These cases were all normal.

There were eighty students whoobserved these deliveries. Therewere 42,. points credit given oneach, with the after calls bring-ing the credits given to 3360points.

Pan-Hellenic Hop

On Friday evening, Nov. 11th,the Pan-Hellenic Council of StillCollege, -held an- informal. danceat the Commodore Hotel ball-room.

Each of the three fraternitieswas very well represented, abouteighty couples being present.

During intermission, a malequartet, from Roosevelt Highschool, entertained the restingdancers with several selections.They were pronounced good byall.

After intermission, dancing re-commenced, continuing until theclock struck twelve.

The entire faculty was invitedto attend, but we regret to saythat Miss Ava Johnson, the pa-troness, was the only one able tobe present.

The committee in charge ofthe dance was composed' of Ray-mond Kale, chairman, Iota TauSigma; Harold H,. Jennings, PhiSigma Gamma; Russell Wright,Atlas Club, and are to be compli-mented.

The music was dispensed byPaul Christensen and his Ft. DesMoines Hotel orchestra.

Osteopahy Without Limitation

Twenty-Five Years AgoThe red-nosed toper never even

.dreamed that his favorite loafingplace on the corner would be con-verted into an entirely differentkind of filing station.

Nobody in need of medical at-tention had to have his familydoctor paged on a golf course.

Young women wore "rats" intheir hair, and hurried past thebarber shop for fear of beingstared at by the men.

Nobody but dictionary-makersand a few returned missionariesknew a word of six letters mean-ing a Polynesian soup ladle.

Hardly any woman would godown town on a windy day with-out putting on a couple of extrapetticoats.

Young men's trousers were cutbig around the hips and tightaround the ankles-and only lab-orers wore workingmen's socks.

Flesh-colored stockings in ac-tion could be seen only in bur-lesque shows.

Women were 'fraid as death ofa loaded gun, and could betrusted not to hit anything withit smaller than a barn.

If somebody had uttered theword "neutrodyne," others wouldhave thought he was referring toa patent medicine.

But often mother would say:-"Elizabeth, dear, pull down yourskirts, your ankles are showing-and don't cross your knees; itisn't lady-like."

Sigma Sigma Phi MakesImprovement

A lot of complimentary com-ment is being made in regard tothe improvement made on a hun-dred chairs on the third floor.

Saturday afternoon, November5th, after Dr. Fomon finishedlecturing, members of SigmaSigma Phi had a "Bee" in Room306, placing rubber feet on allthe class chairs in that room,Since that time, the remainderof the hundred chairs have beenoutfitted with "overshoes," also.

One cannot appreciate the trueworth of this improvement, un-less he has been present at class-es, when the chairs are movedabout by more or less nervousstudents.

The student body joins withthe Log Book in congratulatingSigma Sigma Phi on their initia-tive in this matter, as well asmany others.

Fraternity NotesMASONIC CLUB

The first meeting of the schoolyear of the Masonic OsteopathicClub of Iowa, a member of theNational League of MasonicClubs, was held Wednesday eve-ning, November 2nd, at the AtlasHouse.

Officers for the' ensuing yearof 1927-1928 were elected asfollows:

David N. Shaw, President.Leon Nicholson, 1st Vice Pres.Leonard J. Grinnell, 2nd Vice

Pres. and Scribe.Paul J. Gephart, Secretary.Norman B. Welch, Treasurer.Llewellyn S. Hughes, Guard.Among other matters discussed

were a dance; several entertain-ments to be held this winter; aninvitation to visit Pioneer Lodgein a body late this month; andthe Annual Winter Farewell Ban-quet to the Senior Brothersgraduating in January.

Much interest was shown inall discussions and many spiritedentertaining meetings are beinglooked forward to by all themembers.

A cordial invitation is extendedto all Masons not now membersof the Club, to join us in ouractivities. It will be both advan-tageous and pleasant.

Vitamin CVitamin C, the substance that

wards off scurvy, is present inmilk as well as in the fresh veg-etable,s usually relied upon tosupply it, and included for thisreason in all standard diets forchildren.

Prof,. L. F. Meyer, of the Uni-versity of Berlin, states this ashis conclusion after an extendedseries of experiments. Prof. Mey-er was led to undertake his re-searches by the high occurrenceof scurvy among the children inGerman cities during the periodof hard times just after the war.

Not only the fully recognizabledisease but also such partialforms as arrested growth andsub-normal development amongchildren were distressingly mani-fest. While the supply of freshvegetables was not up to stand-ard, the German scientist sus-pected that the milk shortagealso had something to do with it.

Tests on guinea pigs kept on adeficient diet have shown thatmilk can prevent scurvy, he says.Human milk stands at the top ofthe list as a source of vitamin C,thus explaining the, fact thatbreast-fed babies rarely or nevercontract the disease. On the otherhand, Dr. Meyer found that goat'smilk, much used in Europe forinfant feeding, is quite deficientin this necessary substance. Inthis respect cow's milk is muchsuperior to that of goats,.(Science.)

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF WHATIS COMMONLY KNOWN AS 'FLAT FEET'

In this article I will not go intodetails as to the exact musclesaffected or the general knownsymptoms of flat foot, taking forgranted that all who will read itwill know them.

In order to take up this subjectin the proper way, it is necessaryto make divisions and classifica-tions. From experience and forconvenience, I have divided allflat feet and all fallen arch casesinto the following classes:-Strained foot, weak foot and flat-tened foot or fallen arch, rigidand non-rigid. In discussing thesecases I will disregard the minorsymptoms such as corns and cal-louses and metatarsal depres-sion. Each type will be consideredseparately as far as pathologyand diagnosis is concerned, butthe etiology and treatment arevery closely related and will betaken up under one head.

Strained FootIn this condition the patient

will complain of cramps of thefoot and leg muscles,. They saythat the pains are more severe inthe ,legs and often go as high asthe knees. They will tell of sore-ness of calf muscles. The feettire readily and often have aslight burning sensation.

Objective SymptomsOn palpation you will find

soreness directly under the an-terior portion of the cuboid bone,also under the external cunei-form bone and the bases of themetatarsal although you do notoften find this soreness under themetatarsal until the weak footstage is reached. You will findlittle or no soreness of the legmuscles on palpation when theyare relaxed, but if palpated undertension they will be found to besore and slightly contracted. Inmaking this part of the examina-tion, you put the foot underforceful extention, flection, ab-duction and adduction and pal-pate the muscles that are undertension. This is a very importantpart of the examination, as ittells what muscles are affectedand to what degree. On havingthe patient .stand, you may ob-serve that the arch apparentlyholds its normal contour, butthere may be a slightly pronatedankle. They will walk and standwith the toes pointed out or ab-ducted. The patient should bethoroughly questioned and ex-amined as to constitutional con-ditions, as follows: Age, weight,occupation, diet, urine and thecondition of the pelvic organs,circulation, change of life, bowelaction, menstrual periods, ner-vous conditions.

Age plays an important part,as the patient may be undergo-ing one of the following con-ditions: Chaage of life, adoles-ence, or be gaining in ,weight.

WeightThe patient may be gaining in

weight, which would throw astrain on the arch.

OccupationThe patient may be standing

for lnnor neriods of time. or may

be walking too much, carryingheavy loads.

DietThe patient may be eating too

heavy a diet or improper foods.The diet should conform to theoccupation and age of the pa-tient. Most people eat too much,especially those raised on farmsor those who have performed alarge amount of hard manuallabor and are now doing seditivework.

UrineThe Urine should be examined

for the following things: Specificgravity, amount, color, consist-ency, oror,. acidity, qualative,quantitative (30 being normal),Indican, Skatol, Diacetic Acid,Beta-Oxybuteric, bile, albumen,sugar, salts, Microscopic tests forpus cells, blood cells, casts. UricAcid Crystals, Epithelial cells.The urine will tell a good manythings about the general condi-tion.

CirculationFirst, look for general circula-

tory disturbances and if none arefound, then look for local mani-festations of poor blood supply.You may be sure that if thereis any impairment of the bloodsupply, it will manifest itself inthe lower extremities.

Pregnancy often affects thefeet through the circulation orthe nervous centers.

AdolesenceSometimes you will find a

strained or weak foot conditiondue to nerve and metabolicchanges that sometimes takeplace during this period of fe-male life.

Change of life often effects inthe same way, but more oftenthrough the circulation and thenerves. It causes more foottrouble of this type than doesadolesence. Always rememberthat if there is any trouble dur-ing this period, that it is abnor-mal and should be properlytreated. Improper bowel action,nervous diseases and a sluggishliver, and poor circulation willdo more to weaken the musclesof the lower extremities thanany other.physiological conditionsof which I know.

Nervous DiseasesNervous diseases will some-

times prevent proper digestionand metabolism, and circulation,thereby causing weakness of thefoot muscles. They may alsocause pains in the feet and legs,especially of the cramping tpyein popliteal space.

Focal InfectionA careful check should be made

for Focal Infection, as the symp-toms produced by it are oftenmistaken for those of weak feet.In Focal Infection there is greatpain when weight is first placedon the foot. After resting awhile, if the pain is purely inthe arch, the pain subsides some.After rest also note whether thetemperature of the foot seemsraised and also if the pain seemsto shift from place to place atdifferent times. If the latter is

4 THE LOG BOOK

EndowmentsWe have great plans ahead for

Still College and a's Still Collegegrows and expands the generalscience of Osteopathy is, ofcourse, enhanced. Early in Julywe announced in the Log Bookthat we had adopted a plan ofcreating an endowment for StillCollege and we then urged everymember of the profession to in-vest in at least one unit inthe plan. From time to time wehave been outlining, briefly, thenature of the contract. The planhas been'hailed with enthusiasmand each and every week thesponsors of the endowment areincreasing splendidly in number.We believe that we should atthis time stress again the pointsthat led us to the adoption ofthis most unique plan.

A 'NecessityWe are fully aware of the ne-

cessity of our Osteopathic col-leges. We all know that the col-leges must go on. We all realizethat it takes money to keep ourschools running at top speed andexpanding.

Plan AdoptedWe adopted the Still College

Group Endowment plan for thefollowing reasons:

1st-Easiest PlanBecause it is the easiest plan

for the members of the Osteo-pathic profession that we havebeen able, so far, to find thatwould accomplish our aim andprovide an endowment.

2nd Wisest PlanWe are sure that every mem-

ber of the Osteopathic professionwill agree that it i's the wisestplan, because under this plan,every member of the professioncan do for one of the profession'sschools what his heart wants himto do, and while doing so, in-crease his own estate consider-ably. It is, therefore, the onlyplan by which you can give toStill College and by giving, havemore for yourself and your fam-ily, the beneficiary, than yougive.

Taking the profession as awhole, if 1000 units of this planare applied for, Still Collegewill have an endowment createdover the twenty year perioid, of$200,000.00, and the individualmembers of the profession whowill have contributed to the en-dowment will have accumulatedestates for themselves of $1,00,0.,-000.00. Any man with vision cansee the tremendous possibilitiesof this endowment plan, andeveryone must agree that it is atruly marvelous project.

3rd-Safest PlanIt is the safest plan, because

it is underwritten by a legal re-serve life insurance institution.The Royal Union Life InsuranceCompany, with offices in DesMoines, Iowa, ranks among thefirst 50 of more than 30,0 old linecompanies operating in the U. S.The Royal Union has more than$24,000,000.0,0 of assets. Everypolicy contract issued by theRoyal Union Life Insurance Com-pany is guaranteed by a depositwith the State of Iowa.

4th-Because It Is AnInvestmnent

There is no doubt about it but

that it is an investment, becausewhen you deposit the small sum,of money for each unit, you areinvesting in a $1,200.0.0 unit,which provides-First, that yourwife, or beneficiary, is to receive$1,000.00 at your death; and sec-ondly, that Still College is guar-anteed an amount of $200,.00-whether you live or die. The pol-icy, being of old line legal re-serve life insurance contract,provides for cash values, paid-upand automatic extended insur-ance values, beginning with thethird policy year.

Each member of the Osteopath-ic profession may buy up to$2,500 of the College EndowmentFund policy, without the incon-venience of a physical examina-tion.

The insurance company re-serves the right to require ex-amination in states where thelaw compels them to do so, orwhere the rish is sub-standard.In other words, this is a kind ofgroup insurance, on a StandardSelect Risk basis.

Where the Company requiresan examination, we are pleasedto tell you that the Royal UnionLife Insurance Company hasagreed to have that examinationmade by one of the members ofour own profession. This is a veryforward step in lthe onwardmarch of our great science, be-cause, as you know, up to thistime, old line legal reserve lifeinsurance companies, such as theRoyal Union, have refused to ac-cept medical examinations madeby Osteopaths.

This plan is available to Osteo-pathic physicians and the mem-bers of their families. It is alsoavailable to students of Osteo-pathy and their families.

Increase in PellagraInvestigations covering Tenn-

essee, Arkansas, Mississippi andLouisiana by Dr. Joseph Gold-berger and Edgar Sydenstricker,under the auspices of the U. S.Public Health Service, indicatean increase in pellagra due tocauses related to the recentfloods,. From the survey made, itwas estimated that pellagra, dur-ing 1927, will cause from 2,300to an estimated total of about2,500 deaths, with from 45,000 to50,000 cases, as compared with1,020 deaths and 20,000 cases re-ported in 1924.

In the course of the survey,these investigators visited Dyers-burg and vicinity, Tenn.; LittleRock, Pine Bluff, Marked Treeand vicinities, Ark.; Jackson,Greenwood and Indianola, Miss.;and New O'rleans, Baton Rouge,Alexandria and Monroe in Louis-iana.

Conferences were held withstate and local health officials,some of whom do not seem tohave definite information con-cerning the pellagra situation.The information obtained wastherefore of a very general char-acter with regard to some com-munities, and in at least onecommunity, very definite. Theauthorities are satisfied that inthe places visited the incidenceof pellagra is abnormally high.

Foot Diseases(Continued from page 3)

true, you can be most certainthat there is Focal Infectionsomewhere in the body.

PathologyYou will find in a strained foot

condition, improper posture, sore-ness of the calf and leg muscleson palpation of them when undertension. Soreness under Cuboidand Internal Cuneiform bonesand possibly the external Cunei-form, soreness directly below theinternal malleolus, with possiblysome relaxation of ligaments andsome, of the above mentionedconstitutional conditions. Strain-ed or weak and flattened feet areusually caused by some of theabove mentioned constitutionalconditions or a traumatic con-dition causing the subluxation ofsome of the bones of the foot,thereby causing a strain on cer-tain foot and leg muscles. Mytheory of the cause of longitud-inal arch trouble is that someconstitutional condition causinga weakness of the muscles, there-by allowing one or more bones tobecome partially dislocated orsublaxed, or it may be caused, asmentioned before, by Trauma.

Another cause which I thinkplays an important part is shoes.When we put shoes on our feetwhich have heels, we remove theweight-bearing surface from theouter border of the foot. Theouter border of.the foot shouldcarry the weight from the heelto the fifth metatarsal. By remov-ing this weight-bearing surfaceallows the cuboid to rotate andthe fifth metatarsal to'sag,. Thisthrows a strain upon all thestructures of the foot. Mostshoes have a two narrow shank,which does not give us weight-bearing surface along the outerlongitudinal arch of the foot.Another point to be consideredis the fact that when we walkwithout shoes, over rough ground,the arch joints are placed totheir full limit of motion manytimes a day, but when we incaseour feet in shoes we take thismotion away from the joints.They become inactive and thenwhen we get a weakness of theleg muscles, allowing the arch tosag, or when a sudden strain isplaced upon the foot, movingthese joints beyond the range ofmotion to which they are usedto being placed, they lock in thatposition. This is a partial disloca-tion or subluxation and causes astrain to be placed upon practic-ally all structures of the foot,thereby causing pain and sore-ness of the tissues. These lastmentioned causes are-to mymind-the most important to beconsidered, and the only correctway to correct them-in my mind-is to manipulate and bringback these joints to their normalfunction. It is this strain placedupon the soft structures thatcauses them to weaken. I thinkthat it causes more weakness ofmuscles and ligaments than allother conditions combined.

The Medical SituationIn Illinois

So much misinformation isadrift in regard to the practiceof Osteopathy in Illinois that afew statements on this all-im-portant matter should be made.

First- Osteopathic physicianslicensed to practice Osteopathyin Illinois may sign death certifi-cates.

Second-Osteopathic physicianslicensed to practice Osteopathyin Illinois may sign birth certifi-cates.

Third - Osteopathic physicians'licensed to practice Osteopathyin Illinois may practice obstet-rics and use the surgery anddrugs necessary incidental tosuch practice.

Fourth-Osteopathic physiciandlicensed to practice Osteopathyin Illinois may practice the sur'gery they are qualified to do anduse the drugs necessary inciden-tal to such practice.

Fifth-The Illinois Medical Ex-amining Board reciprocates withpractically every state in the,Union, as, for instance, an Osteo-pathic physician practicing Os'teopathy for one year in thestate of Missouri, holding a li-cense from that state,, may re-ceive reciprocity with Illinois bytaking the Olsteopathic subjectsonly in Illinois.

Checking Cholera

How the British hold the chol-era situation in hand when tenmillion Hindus set out on a pil-grimage is one of the dramaticepisodes revealed in a report justissued of the tenth extraordinarysession of the health committeeof the League of Nations.

Approaches by rail and by roadto the districts of Hardwar andMuttra where pilgrims by themillion concentrate on the occas'ion of the Hardwar Fair, wereprotected by inspection posts andfirst aid stations. Barbed wire endtanglements barricaded ponds ofstagnant water from the on-slaughts of thirsty travelers. Safesupplies of drinking water werestationed along the route, whilethe river water at Bhimgodatemple where the pilgrims bathewas purified by chloride of lime,

Cholera innoculation, free ofcharge, was provided for at hos-pitals along the way. The projectof compulsory inoculation of allpilgrims for Asiatic cholera hadto be abandoned as impractical5on account of the vast numberSof individuals involved..

As a result of these precautionsonly 38 cases were notified afterthe fair, according to the report,Of these, 36 were imported frornother provinces; some so far awayas Bengal and Assam.

Generally speaking it is thefellow who fails to make goodwho is convinced that this is anunjust world.

The Kirksville Game(By Lee Lindbloom)

And here we are once againat the close of a football season.Though the season has been veryunsuccessful and at times heart-breaking for us all, we relishwhat has been gained throughdefeat for us. The schedule has

team, but they gave all and thebest that they could, to win.

Last week we journeyed downto Kirksville to battle our rivalOsteopathic college there andlost the game by the score, butdid not feel bad about it. Why?

A man can only tear down amountain by continuous workingon it, and then after years oflabor he may find his task un-completed. It was that way atKirksville. These boys were allgiants, compared with out men.They outweighed us 19 poundsto the man and towered aboveus about six inches.

The first half of the gameKirksville outplayed us easilyand it was only through contin-uous fighting and sprints thatour boys kept the score as lowas it was. Even with, this handi-cap, our men gave their line allthe trouble it cared for in oneafternoon. The half nearing itsend found the mountains of fleshgradually giving in and beforethe half was ended our boys hadpossession of the ball and wereon their way toward the Kirks-ville goal. But as it goes, wewere too late and the half endedwith the ball on their thirty yardline, in our possession.

After a brief rest our boyscame back on the field with, morefight and pep than all Kirksvillecombined, and it was not longbefore the whistle called theminto the final play of the game.

We received the ball and Cro-nin returned it to our own fortyyard line. A very beautiful re-turn. After fighting in midfieldfor most of the third quarter wefinally got a good break. Davisrecovered a fumble on Kirks-ville's thirty yard line and thenit was just too bad. After twoline plays had failed, Davis wascalled back to pass-and pass hedid. Loghry, the opposite end,slipped down behind the quarterand Davis heaved that pill rightinto his arms and we chalked upsix points. Davis then kickedgoal, making the score at theend of the third quarter 12 to 7in favor of Kirksville.

During the fourth quarter themountains gradually wore away.Our bays kicked off and theRams returned ten yards and on

LUThe boy, who with Davis, put theThe boy, who with Davis, put thescore across at the Kirksville

game on Thanksgiving Day

the next play fumbled and wegot the ball. After the line playswere found useless, the airialbrigade started and they were"hot." Davis was called out ofthe line and the passing he un-covered was startling to all. Thehardest part of the game camewhen they advanced the ball tothe three yard line and thenwere penalized, which left justtoo much ground for Still tomake up. That's the way it con-tinued until the whistle blewand the score ended 12 to 7 infavor of Kirksville.

Sports writers and the radioannouncer at the game gave ourboys credit for outplaying andoutsmarting the Rams in allbranches of the game. It wasgreat to see such a light teamwith such quality and quantityof fighting spirit. It is a case oflosing a victory. Such praisewould not be given our boys ifthey had not deserved it. Itmakes us feel much better toclose our school football seasonwith these words of praise forsuch a good fight.

Galli Curci

At the moment of going topress, we have the informationthat the local division of the 0.W. N. A. is taking steps to en-tertain Galli Curci when shevisits our city December sixth.The mention of the name of thisfamous singer brings to everyOsteopath's heart deep appreci-ation of what she has done forour profession. Galli Curci shouldbe shown every courtesy we maybe privileged to extend to her.

In Anticipation

The football season has closedand we are turning from the ex-citement of this outdoor sportto just as interesting a featureof our schedule-the basketballteam. We are fortunate in hav-ing for this year's team a strongnucleus to build upon. Davis,Friend, Smith, Weldon and Langare with us and will be assistedby the Freshmen developed lastyear, together with several mem-bers of the new class, who havealready voiced their intentionsto enter the game. We anticipatejust as great results this year aswere shown by the Pirate teamof last season.

Let us remind you that otherthings are anticipated at Still.We are nearing the close of thefirst half of the first year spentin a new environment. The newbuilding has changed the entiretone of our college. The addedfacilities for the handling ofdidactic and laboratory work inthe college have raised the workto a higher plane and a greaterappreciation of our possibilities.Each member of the faculty hasassumed greater responsibilitiesand has met them. We anticipa-ted this and are gratified withthe results obtained. We ask youto ask our students.

This question comes to ourmind: Have we anticipated yourwishes in policy, managementand educatidn? If so, do we notmerit your support? May we re-mind you that now is the timeto take a little time from yourregular routine and secure theinterest of the young people ofyour community in the study ofOsteopathy. Our schools all needmore students. Osteopathy needsmore representatives in the field.

Matriculation for the nextclass starts January 21st, 1928.

Announcement

Dir. and Mrs. G. J. Howland an-nounce the arrival of GordonKay, on Saturday, November 19,at 1 a. M., Decorah, Iowa.

Gail Smith is thelatest victim!

Co-ed? Yes!

Where are the girls of yester-year? What change has comeover the business life of ourgirls that they are not taking toOsteopathy as they did a fewyears back?

One of our co-ed graduatesasked about the present percent-age of girls in the school. Therewas a time when the co-eds werethirty percent strong. Fifteenyears ago the percentage droppedto about half of that, and ifpresent figures may be reliedupon, the percentage has againbeen halved The answer is notdifficult. Osteopathy is hardwork. The Osteopath has to useboth brain and brawn. The pres-ent-day girl has a great array ofopportunities offered her, themajority of which require verylittle brawn. Of this she is highlyappreciative. We do not mean toinfer that the present-day younglady is lazy. Far frdom it. Sheis merely expressing her prefer-ence for a work that requiresthe minimum of physical exer-tion. So would we all.

But this is not satisfying thepublic. Those who have favqredOsteopathy in the past, and thatmultitude of new believers thatare growing into manhood andwomanhood each year, are de-manding on certain occasions theservices of the women in ourprofession.

May we ask you to take aspecial interest in this featureof our future and interest girlsof the right type, assuring themof the greater success they maysecure in our type of professionalwork. We need more girls in ourprofession.

WHAT IS SUCCESS?Eldon L. Carlson

Not so long ago, one of the-leading magazines of the countryoffered prizes for the best essayletters on the subject. One ofthose offered, defined Success as"The conquering of the environ-ments of life and making themcontribute to the upbuilding ofour character and service tomankind." In other words, Suc-cess is to overcome and achievea worthy goal in spite of life'shandicaps and misfortunes. An-other writer said: "Success is toleave your wealth in the heartsof your fellowmen that it mightlive on down through the agesand cause good to come to othersbecause of the good that youhave done."

It is the effort to assist theyoung men and women of the

The Missouri Limited

Toot! Toot!--and we were off.Time, 8:30 a. m. Place, Iota TauSigma House. And a goodlycrowd was there.

In all, there were twenty-fiveof us, travelers into the South-land to try to beat our greatestrivals of the grid-the Kirks-ville Osteopaths. It was a fairlyrepresentative crowd, each Fra-ternity being represented.

A few miles out of the city avery necessary stop was made-and then on again. The milesswiftly followed one another fora time until the town of Munroewas reached. Here it was decidedthat all and sundry should par-take of solid nourishment, andit was done. After a half hour ofrepast, the Limited again gotunderway. Up until this timethe college cheers and singingrent the air, but now, havingmore or less full stomachs, peaceand quiet reigned above thejourniers.

The brakes squealed and wewere at Oskaloosa. We needsmust stop for water and fuel.This chore completed, on again.And then Ottumwa. Alas, thiscity was the end of sleep andpeace, for just outside, we cameupon the far-famed Iowa gumbomud. And it was MUD and ournames were nearly 'mud', too,.It was necessary to get out andpush, with mud, not ordinarymud., but MUD, up over ourshoes. Finally, about an hourlater, having reached the top ofthe mile-long hill, the chainswere put on, to much advantage.

The next stop was Bloomfield,still Iowa, where, stopping forgas, we were appraised of thefact that our Football Team washoled up in the only hostelry thecity afforded, having arrivedthere about 8:00 p. m., all faggedout after a much harder timethan that experienced by us.This was 4:00 a. m.

But nothing ventured, nothinggained, and on we went, slowlybut surely, reaching Kirksvilleat 8:00 a. m., to the tune ofsongs, cheers and noise.

The weary travelers made theirway to the various Fraternityhouses to clean up and rest upfor the festivities, the parade at2:310 a. m., the Football game at2:30 p. m. and the Dance in theevening at 9:30 p. m. Of all, theGame was the most satisfactory.All were agreed that the Piratesoutplayed the Rams in the lasthalf, but it was then too late toremedy the 12 point lead they.held over us.

The dance was attended by the,entire Des Moines delegation andapparently all were enjoyingthemselves.

At 11:00 p. m., the bus withthe football players left for anuneventful trip home, with onestop at Oskaloosa for nourish-ment. The other bus left at 1:00a. m. and they, too, made onlyone stop to eat. The first busarrived in Des Moines at 6:00a. m. Friday, while the other onearrived at about 8:30 a. m. Theonly noises on the return tripwere snores and other stertor-^,ci lhrpathingr s.ounds.

Thus ended the trip of theMissouri Limited, with each andall of the explorers having hada most enjoyable trip. May therebe more of them and more menon them.

0. W. N. A.The November social meeting

of 0. W. N. A. was held on theevening of the sixteenth of atthe new college building. Therooms stood open for inspectionand the various departmentswere visited while preparationsfor the supper were being made.A gas plate and the laboratorytables of the physical diagnosisroom made a splendid equipmentfor dispensery and the foodswere served cafeteria style acrossthe tables of the histology labor-atory. Then the members retiredto the comfortable chairs of theassembly to eat.

During the evening, music wasprovided by the school orchestraunder the direction of Mr. EarlShaw, and following a toast ofcongratulations and best wishesto the school by Dr. Mary Gol-den, each member of the facultyresponded with a sketch of thehopes he holds for developmentin his line of work. The newspirit shown in the school, thenew opportunities for develop-ment and the ever present needand desire for field support wereall touched upon.

The party was accomplished bythe successful co-operation of Dr.Avis Payne, president,; Mrs. ZoeInnes, director of laboratories atthe college, who made arrange-ments necessary there; Dr. FernMcLaughlin Woods, in charge ofthe serving; and Mrs. H. J. Mar-shall, who arranged the menus.

The women students of theschool were guests.

ProctologyEvery function of our bodies

that requires constant, sleeplessvigil and untiring energy, hasbeen placed in the care andkeeping of the autonomic nerv-ous system. From the momentvital processes are placed withinits guardianship until life ceases,this system is steadily and cease-lessly endeavoring to operate thebodily function, and only wheresufficient nerve waste occurs todeprive the -parts of the fullenergy, to be derived from thiswonderful system, do the variousorgans go on a strike or lag intheir work, therefore, functionalactivity s impaired.

Fibers from the autonomicsystem connect every organ inthe body, essential to life of theindividual. If the energy for anyorgan becomes wasted or reducedby continual irritation some-where along the course of thenerve, that organ will suffer inproportion to the amount ofenergy lost. Associated organssympathize in the general dis-turbance brought about by thissympathetic nerve loss.

In view of this interdepend-ence of all organs for functionalactivity upon this form ofenergy, is it surprising, then, theamount of nervous exhaustior

Physical Righteousness

Man, 'tis agreed, is the noblestwork of God. He was created inthe image of God-that is, in theimage of health. The whole morallaw is laid upon health, and Ifail to see how it is possible forus to be moral beings while weare recklessly disobeying thelaws that make us vital and ableto accomplish something worthwhile.

In truth, any waste of physicalenergy is sin. A healthy body isthe proper shrine for the idealsoul a truth that has yet to beeducated into modern religiousconsciousness. Righteousness andhealth should go together.

I fully agree with PhillipsBrooks, who said, "The duty ofphysical health and the duty ofspiritual purity and loftiness arenot two duties; they are twoparts of one duty, which is theliving of the completest lifewhich it is possible to live."

Many believe that our life hereon earth is purely transient-consequently they regard healthand happiness here as unimport-ant, but are looking to an eternalbliss hereafter.-(Dr. Leon Pat-rick.)

Go forth into the busy worldand love it, interest yourself inits life, mingle kindly with itsjoys and sorrows, try what youcan do for men, rather than whatyou can make them do for you,and you will know what it is tohave men yours-better than ifyou were their kind or master.

Life affords no higher pleasurethan that of surmounting diffi-culties, passing from one step ofsuccess to another, forming newwishes and seeing them gratified.He that labors in any great orlaudable undertaking has his fa-tigues first supported by hope-and afterwards rewarded by joy

Assemblies

On Friday, November 18th, Dr..Johnson opened the assemblywith a few pertinent remarks,-telling us that the purpose ofthis one was two-fold; to makearrangements for the footballgame with Simpson at Indianolaand to learn more about the Still,College Endowment.

Dr. "Virg" and his Band playeda difficult selection and then wewere entertained by our visitors'The Cotton Blossom Singers"from Piney Ridge, Miss. Theirprogram included several oldplantation melodies, among thembeing "Seek and Ye Shall Find";and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot."The director of the Piney RidgeSchool then gave a short historyof the school and outlined itsaims.

Mr. William Koch, Vive Presi-dent of the Royal Union Lifeiext spoke on the EndowmentFund for Still College. In tenmninutes he gave us a very clearidea as to just what it means tous as students and as future prac-titioners in the field.

Coach Frank Sutton, after afew selections by the Band, madea talk about the football season,about to close, and stressed par-ticularly his reasons for notplaying several men. He was giv-en as courteous attention as hasever been given any speaker atthe college. We might say thatthe Coach was too full of feelingfor words and we are certainlyfor him.

On Monday, November 21st, anAssembly was called for the pur-pose of considering the purchaseof a Micro-projectoscope by thestudent body for the school. Themeeting was presided over byour always amiable Dean, Dr. J.P. Schwartz, who called on themembers of the faculty for theirviews as to the efficacy of theProjectoscope. The response wasgratifying, indeed, as all the in-structors were highly in favor ofit. The plan was and is for theStudents, and instructors too, tobuy a tag for not less than $1.00,this fund to be used in the pur-chase of a Projectoscope. Therewere also special mention tagsfor those who donated more than$1.00, and these were much inevidence, as well as the "dollartags." Last reports have it thatthe Projectoscope is assured.That's the old Still Spirit!

He hastalked to so many organizationssince he returned, that we con-sider ourselves very fortunate inhaving the opportunity of listen-ing to his many interesting ex-periences.

Are You Looking Fora Location

Dear Editor:It has been my intention to

drop you a line in regards tolocations in the state of Mich-igan,.

Below you will find a list oftowns, which I looked over hur-riedly, in which I think there isa demand for Osteopaths. I be-lieve that a good, live, wideawake D. 0. could make a verygood go of it, in a reasonablyshort length of time in:

laylord, Michigan.Cheyboygan, Michigan.Mackinaw, Michigan.Escanaba, Michigan.Munising, Michigan.Marquette, Michigan.Ishpeming, Michigan.Wakefield, Michigan.Bessemer, Michigan.Some of these towns may al-

ready have an Osteopath, but Iknow that most of them do nothave, and think it would payanyone looking for a place tolocate, to look them over.

Trusting that D..M.S.C.O.' willhave the most successful year inits history, I remain

Sincerely yours,DR. C. MASOiN CONN.

If it is a severe case, Iuse a muslin figurate bandage,padded with cotton, to supportthe relaxed tissues. The cottonprevents the stoppage of the cir-culation. I also give a slight mas-sage to all relaxed or stretchedmuscles. It is also beneficial tostretch and massage any con-tracted muscles. The musclesthat need particular attentionare the leg muscles, as the footmuscles, themselves, have verylittle function as far .as supportof the arch is concerned.

I always give a very light mas-sage afterwards to stimulate cir-culation and relieve any pain orsoreness which the treatmentmay have caused. I have neverhad any complaint of pain orsoreness in the arch, due to thetreatment, if a light massage isgiven following it. The only ex-ceptions would be where there isa rheumatic or Arthritic con-dition present. The patients,after these treatments, have im-mediate relief and the cure iseffected in a short time, provid-ing the treatment has been car-ried out properly and weakfootexercises given to the patient.

This is my theory of the causeof longitudinal arch trouble.This is a treatment which I haveworked out to overcome these

WHAT IS SUCCESS?

(Continued from page 1)world to see the value of a life'of service. To assist them to see,the things which are worthwhile, and know the joy whichcomes in serving others.

If we consult the dictionaries,they will give us the etymologyof the word as being derivedfrom the French and Latin, andgenerally speaking, as meaning-"The prosperous termination ofany enterprise" or "The accomp-lishment of a purpose."

Success to all men does notmean the same. One type of manhas a different idea of successthan another. As for instance, alaborer's conception differs fromthat of a writer. Oftentimes wehave heard of successful boot-leggers, gamblers, and manyothers, but there is no successthat disregards the laws of Godand man.

To have the success whichleaves your wealth in the heartsof your fellowmen that it mightlive on down through the agesand cause good to come to othersbecause of the good that youhave done-we must begin theconflict with a high purposefever keeping in mind the char-acters and principles of thenoble men who have succeeded.

The first condition of successin every vocation is earnest de-votion to that call. As Carlylehas said: "The secret of successis to do one thing only and do itwell." You must make your call-ing the one life purpose to whichevery other, save the develop-ment of character, must be sub-ordinate.

Success cannot be made unlesswe have faith in ourselves thatwe can and are succeeding. Itis as old Admiral Farragut-heof true heart and iron will saidto another officer of the Navy:"Dupont, do you know why youdidn't get into Charlestown withyour ironclads?"

"Oh, because the channel wasso crooked!",

"No, it was not that.""Well, the rebel fire was per-

I do not expect every-:one to agree with me, but if Ihave given you a new idea andcaused you to think and develop'yourself in any way, I will feelwell repaid for the effort I haveput forth in preparing this arti-cle. Read it over, take what youthink is worth while, and disre-gard that which you think is ofno value, and I will be satisfied.

TEN YEARS AGO

The Twelfth of December, 1917, is a date to be remem-bered by all of us. It marked the passing of the Father ofOsteopathy. After a little more than eighty-nine years ofintensive and productive living, our first teacher and leaderleft us with a most important heritage.

This is a time that we should hesitate for the minuteand consider the things that he stood for and accomplishedduring his span of life. From an idea which was the resultof profound thot and the attempt to analyze experiences theredeveloped with him a science. The result of these observa-tions put into practice has erected schools, hospitals, sanitar-iums and health centers in all parts of the country, based onthe findings of this one man.

Do you, as a practitioner, realize that what you are youowe to the "Old Doctor"? D'o you as a student of Osteopathyrealize that the opportunities before you would not be poss-ible without the early investigations of Dr. A. T. Still?

It is fitting and proper that in our mad rush of every-daylife that we should pause for contemplation of these truths.The memory of his early struggles should be the incentivefor greater effort on our part to carry on the science he gave.

in the newspapers that GailSmith did take unto himself abetter half. It is noticeable thathe is beginning to study consid-erably. A lot of others shouldhave some such inspiration.

Dr. M. E. Bachman, otherwiseknown as "Daddy" to some of theolder students, gave us some veryinteresting case reports at thelast meeting. He gave a completeoutline of the treatment, includ-ing the diet used in each case.He also initiated a number ofmembers into the methods oftaking blood-pressure and whatpathological conditions to searchfor in the variations of pressure."Daddy" puts out a lot of Osteo-pathy, and we want to see moreof him, for it seems that a goodlyshare of us are losing sight ofthe fundamental principles ofour profession.

"Nick" Gill relinquishes thelead in the letter league. Heseems to be striking out withthe bases loaded. "Nick" is alittle bashful about leaving thehouse on these frigid mornings,but he has taken this unfortun-ate circumstance in the properspirit, and unlike some of thebig shots, he rides the hoof,rather than the Yellow Cabs.

Dr. Johnny Woods informedhis classes Monday that havinghad two babies over the week-end, he must be excused for any"wooziness" evidenced duringthe day.

"Doctor," asked the invalid,"don't you think a change to awarmer climate would do me lotsof good?"

"Heavens, man!" replied thedoctor, "that's just what I'm try-ing to save you from.."

"Why didn't Noah smoke morewhen he was on the Ark?"

"Because he only had two'Camels,."

A little girl was once told thatpolite people did not talk abouttheir ailments in company oroutside the family. So when a vis-itor asked her if she was wellshe said: "Well, in the family Ihave a stomach ache, but in com-pany I'm quite well, thank you."

The boat was sinking. Theskipper rushed up to a crowd ofscared passengers.

"Who among you can pray?"he asked them.

"I can," answered the minister."Then pray, mister," ordered

the skipper. "The rest of you puton life preservers. We're shortjust one."

A young man consulted a phy-sician about "tobacco heart,"which he thought he had con-tracted by excessive smoking.

"Doctor," said he, "do you be-lieve that the use of tobaccotends to shorten a man's days."

"Do 1," exclaimed the doctor,"I know it does. I tried to stoponce, and the days were ninetyhours long!"

PHILOSOPHY(How to Learn to be a Great

Thinker)

Now I will make a philosopherof you if you will obey and fol-low the rules I give you, if youhave the germs of reason withaverage culture.

Rule first is the machinery ofthe object; then the duty eachpart is to perform. Now I willtake as an example to explore orknow what this machine is de-signed for, a hog for our subjectof explorations. For conclusionas to the design nature had in itsconstruction. Now the first orderI give, you must obey, or fail.Look at the hog's snout. I meansnout and nothing else. Now letthe tail alone, I said snout; notfoot, but snout. You have nothingto do with the hog's foot. I toldyou to look at the snout. Whatdo you see about the snout? Lookand get its form and let its usesalone. I want you to know asnout first. Its form is all I wantyou to look for. Now you see thesnout do you? You must not thinkof anything about which end ofthe hog the snout is on, or itsuse or attachments. You cannotsucceed as an investigator if youleave that snout before you get,the form in your mind. Now youare master of the form of thesnout; you can look how it isattached to the end of somethingby this time. You see a plow toturn over the ground. Now gofrom your discovered plow toattachment to head, which is fastfn nckr.knek r to hodv till hogis complete.

Moral: When you wish to learnanything take some part tostudy and stick to it until youmaster a part at a time, untilyou know all parts. Then putthem together in their placesany your work is done. Naturedoes the rest as is indicated byall forms of animal life. Learnthe parts and places and theywill show their uses; if not, youhave failed to use your reasonand are lost; time spent and youare none the wiser. Study thesnout or you will forever fail-(A. T. STILL).

Osteopathic Clinic OpensIn New Home

New quarters of the MariettaOsteopathic Clinic which Dr. H.L. Benedict and his associateshave founded at 304 Putnam St.are completed and thrown opento the public, and afford the cityan institution that ranks withthe best of its kind to be foundin the country.

Associated with Dr. Benedictin this venture are Dr. L. M,. Bell,Dr. J. E. Wiemers and Dr. J. D.Sheets. They have founded a 22-room clinic, equipped on modernlines. It is designed and fittedto afford a new service to Mar-ietta and the surrounding coun-try.

The building that has been oc-cupied by Dr. Benedict and Dr.Bell, and in recent months by Dr.Sheets as well, has been modern-ized and enlarged. Dr. Wiemershas joined with them in makingit a complete Osteopathic Clinic.The four owners will share thework of the clinic, dividing theresponsibilities and each followa special service-

The main entrance is fromPutnam street, leading directlyinto an attractive suite of recep-tion rooms and offices, with acorridor leading to the officesand consultation rooms. The newquarters at the left of the cor-ridor are given over to physio-therapy department, over whichDr. Wiemers will preside. Thisdepartment is fully electricallyequipped along modern lines.

Dr. Bell, who is the eye, ear,nose and throat specialist, isquartered across the corridor atthe rear of the reception rooms,while the offices of Dr. Wiemers,Dr. Sheets and Dr. Benedict aregrouped about the rear of thecorridor, all having outside of-fices.

Dr. Benedict will have chargeof diagnosis and will specializein handling gastro - intestinalcases. Dr. Wiemers will handlediseases of children, and Dr.

practice, will be in charge of X-ray and laboratory work.

The second floor affords spacefor operating rooms, nurses'quarters, and for the nine bedsthat will be used for clinic pa-tients. Dr. Sheets will live in theclinic and will be the night phy-sician in charge. There are clubquarters, porches and sun roomsfor patients on the second floor.

The basement of the buildingprovides the X-ray rooms, thelaboratories and treating rooms,for certain classes of diseases,and are as elaborately equippedas are other departments.

Modern heating, lighting andventilating systems have beeninstalled and the whole buildingis of neat appearance and con-venient arrangement.

The men who are associated inthis clinic have devoted a num-ber of years of effort and muchexpense in bringing it to itscompleted state, and feel thatthey are contributing in no smallway to the comfort and well be-;in ? Nf the nublic'.

Five Years Ago

DT. A. T. Still was the"Father of Osteopathy." An-other Still trained in thescience of Osteopathy wasborn later to demonstrate tothe world the value of thatscience in surgical work. Wepause again in reverence tothe memory of Dr. George A.Still, son of the founder ofStill College and at the timeof his death, President of theA. S. 0. and Surgeon-in-Chiefof its hospital. Only thosewho have worked intimatelywith the man can appreciatethe true character and worthof such an artist. The passingof George Still on November23rd, 1922, marked the end ofa brilliant career. 'One thatcontributed more than hisshare to a great science.

Gambrusia

Gambrusia, the little fish thatbefriends man by devouring mos-quito "wigglers," is finding manythings even more to his liking inthe ponds and ditches of Italythan in his native Americanhome, according to reports re-ceived from Rome. Carried firstto Spain and thence to Italy tocombat the malarial mosquitoes,this hungry little minnow hasmultiplied enormously through-out the region around the mouthof the Tiber, where it was firstintroduced, and has also beentransplanted into shallow watersthroughout the peninsula andalong the Dalmatian coast.

lTTnor -fT.vorahle foonc and other

environmental conditions, andprobably the absence of naturalenemies that take toll of its num-bers in America, are creditedwith the gratifying abnormalrate of increase.

A young wife of Bristol saidto her husband one night: "Mydear, there is a gentleman inthe .parlor. He wants to speak toyou."

"Who is it, do you know?" thehusband asked.

"Dear," said the wife, "youmust forgive me, but thatvcoughhas bothered you very much oflate; and though spring is com-ing on, it still clings to you. Oh!if you knew how worried I'vebeen about you." and she threwher arms around his neck. "Whatwould I do if I were to lose you,dear?" she moaned.

"Come, come!" said the youngman, patting her shoulder ten-derly; "men don't die of a slightcold. So you have called in thedoctor, eh? Well, I'll see him,gladly, if it will make you feeleasier. Which one is it, Squills?"

"It isn't the doctor, dear," wasthe answer; "it's the life insur-ance agent."

They who make the best outof their time have none to spare.

Girls who have no diamondssay that it is vulgar to wearthem.

See Him Today

Jack and Jim were school boysIn a little country town,

Shared their troubles and theirjoys,

Freckled kids, both sunburnedbrown.

Went a-swimming in the summer,Went out nutting in the fall,

Shared their skates and sleds inwinter,

In the springtime played base-ball. '

Grew from boys to youth andmanhood,

Side by side and heart to heart,And in every little plan stood

In close union taking part.

Came the time when* to the cityiJack and Jim were called away,

Severed ties, and, more's the pity,Separated more each day.

Jack became a leading power,Lived in luxury and style,

Built a castle with a tower,Growing richer all the while.

Hard Jim worked from dawn tosunset,

Striving cheerfully to float,Daily wage was all he could get,

In life's game he was the goat.

Jack and Jim ne'er met each oth-er,

Each one knew the other'sstate,

Just around the corner, brother,Neither passed the other's gate.

Came the day when Jim was bro-ken,

Fever wrecked his sturdyframe,

Jack, too late, saw Jim there ly-ing

Calm and peacefully at rest;Chums they had been, no deny-

One ortwo individuals in each backcorner of the room, and at leasttwo on the front row are openlycommuning with Morpheus sev-eral others are flirting with him."What does it matter?" is easilyread on most every face.

A Christmas Thought

Can you think of a betterChristmas present than addition-al life insurance, sufficient toprovide an adequate income forwTifT anrl childreln?

Can you think of a better in-rance proposal than a unit orvo in the Still College Groupidowment Fund under the spec-1 copyrighted policy issued bye Royal Union Life Insurance)mpany?Let us briefly review a fewtstanding features of our En-)wment Policy:1. It is a special contract pre-Ired only for Osteopaths, Stu-rnts of Osteopathy and imr--ed-te family members.2. Each unit gives $1200 pro-ction $1000 to your principalmneficiary (wife or children)-ad $200 to Still College.3. Because it is a group con-tract.. wrteihottesrtract written without the ser-

vices of agents, the rate for a$1200 unit is about the rate youpay for an ordinary $1000 con-tract.

4. It is easy to get if you area standard risk. No red tape. Youcan secure up to $2400 withoutthe inconvenience of a physicalexamination.

5. It enables you to partici-pate in the creation of an En-dowment Fund for one of theprofession's foremost schools -without any burden to yourpocketbook.

6. It increases your personalestate. Adequate life insurancemakes today's happiness last for-ever.

7. By request you can secure aDecember 24th or December 25thdating for your contract if youact now!

THE LOG BOOK

The Milestone

One year ago we were in ourold building. Today we are inour new home. One year ago wehad but little thought that todaywe would be housed in a five-story, fireproof building, ade-quate for every need and fittedwith every convenience. Thispast year is truly a date to beengraved in bold faced figures inour history. For many years wehave been promised a new build-ing. It was from all appearancesonly a promise. But, the ideamust be born first, and as theconstant dripping of water wearsaway the stone, so the continu-ous pounding of the idea finallylifted the curtain and our eyesbeheld the actual.

During the first three monthsof 1927 we constantly repeatedthe old, worn slogan, "We musthave a new building." About thefirst of April a weak hint of theseemingly impossible filteredthrough. Two or three locationswere available. Which wouldserve us best in the many wayswe must be served? Which couldbe handled without loss? Whichwould mean greater and assuredsuccess? All of these things mustbe thought of, and plans wereconsidered and reconsidered un-til the minds of those intimate-ly associated with the adminis-tration of the affairs of the col-lege were almost blank from plan-ning. Nothing definite could begiven out even at the close ofthe school year, but by the firstof July all the various papershad been signed, blue prints offloor plans had been O K'd andthe actual work of moving hadbegun.

1927!!! We the Alumni, theCorporate Board, the Trustees,the Faculty, the Student Body,and we hope the entire Osteo-pathic Profession, salute you.You brought us an opportunity.We grasped it. You have passedto us an obligation. If any oneof us fail in the duties before us,let him be stricken from the roll.1927, you have passed into realhistory.

Already the new year with newopportunities is before us. Whatwill 1928 offer us and what willwe offer 1928?

The Alumni. You can write uscheering letters. You can passthe good word along when chanceoffers. You can send us studentsto fill our new home. You canbe proud of the advancementmade by your college during thepast year and take a greater-pride in the support you give.

The Corporate Board. It isyour good judgment in the selec-tion of Trustees and in the form-ing of policies that will insurea continuation of the excellentmanagement of our college.

The Trustees. You have donewell in 1927. You are to be con-,gratulated by the entire profes-sion. 1928 offers you the opportunity for greater service ancyou must give it. Every moveyou make must be deliberatecwith the single objective ofgreater Still College.

our faculty. A chain is no strong-er than its weakest link. Your

work this last year has offeredlittle for criticism. If you havebeen weak, strengthen your linkin the chain and during 1982 ex-tend your influence for the goodof Still Colle,ge and Osteopathy.

The Student Body. Your re-turn to a new home in Septem-ber. 1927, made a great differ-ence in your individual attitudetowards the college. May youexpand this enthusiasm to coverfriends that you will interesteither in the study of our sci-ence or in treatment and mayyou stand firmly behind the bet-ter things for the profession.

The Osteopathic Profession.Another year dawns. Take an in-ventory of your work in 1927.Did you support, in the severalwarys that you can, our osteo-pathic institutions in the man-ner that you should? If so, youhave every reason to be proud ofyour past year. If not, then youhave another chance. W¥e askthat you continue to work for thegood of our science. Exert what-ever influence you may have tosecure new students, better legis-lation, and make for greater op-portunities for Osteopathy. Ifwe deserve a part of this sup-port, we are thankful and willfeel that our work has not beenin vain.May we extend, to all. our wishesthat everything good may cometo you during our new year 1928.

A Big Year Ahead!

Nineteen twenty-eight will bea stirring year. A presidentialcampaign; a national businessand financial situation that willbe watched with keen interest;foreign affairs; aviation; sports;the Olympic games; radio; fash-ions; science-all these fields willengross the attention of everypracticing Osteopath.

In looking forward eagerly andanxiously into the New Year, itis a wholesome thing to give athought to the achievements ofthe past year. 1927 was a goodyear for Osteopathy. The pro-fession continues to make' prog-ress apace, aided by an ever in-creasing appreciation on the partof the public.

As we look back and in marsh-alling forth the high points inthe year's work, we are forciblydrawn to the introduction ofthe Still College Endowmentmovement. Undoubtedly t h eStill College Endowment projectis an item of great moment inthe history of Osteopathy. Inthe plan offered by the RoyalUnion Life Insurance Company,if 'it is carefully analyzed andweighed strictly on its merits,there is the germ of the financialindependence of one of the pro-fession's foremost schools.

Repeatedly in past issues of theLog Book it has been our privi-lege to review with you, variousfeatures of our unique Endow-ment Plan. The project is a copy-righted plan for Osteopaths andmembers of their family, forstudents of Osteopathy and mem-bers of their family. In suchStates as permit, the policies areissued without the inconvenienceof a physical examination. Re-member, too, that the Endow-ment is incidental to a life in-surance policy. For instance oneunit is $1200 of life insurance.It pays to your wife or familyor estate in case of death, thesum of $100,0.00 and Still Collegereceives a minimum of $200.00.

All this at age 30 calls for anannual premium deposit of only$25.91-just about what you payfor a policy in any old linecompany.

Every Osteopath owes it tohimself and to the profession tolend some financial support toour schools. The Still College

Christmas Party

The Assembly Thursday morn-ing, December 22nd, was in theform of a Christmas party, as us-ual. Earlier in the week, eachstudent drew the name of someother student and purchased forhim, or her, a gift, the cost ofwhich was not to exceed a dime.

A great many laughswere evoked by some of the gifts,and some embarrassment causedsome of the recipients. It wasall in fun and was so taken by all.

The greatest laugh of all wascreated when the first studentcalled was requested by Larry tosit down on a previously preparedchair to open his gift. Much tothis student's horror, astonish-ment and embarrassment, thechair collapsed, letting him downnone to gently, on the floor.

After all of the gifts had beengiven out, Dr. Johnson, on behalfof the Board and Faculty, wishedall "A very Merry Christmas anda Happy New Year." With thesewords, the Christmas holidaysbegan.

Basketball(By Harold Davis)

Still 25-Central 22Coach Sutton's men opened the

season January 6, winning fromCentral College, 25-22. The teamplayed basketball as a unit, eachman playing his part well, andas a result, the baskets wereevenly distributed, with Friendand Davis leading the attackscoring three each and Hubbardclose behind with two.

However, our team has plentyof room for improvement, butthe Central game brought outthe fact that our boys are co-operating better, which meansthat our offense is not going tobe held up because one man isnot hitting them.

With the offense we have work-ing successfully, we seem des-tined to turn in a majority ofvictories for Coach Sutton, asCaptain "Red" Smith, aided byWeldon and Lang, are takingcare of the back court in bigleague style and opposing for-wards are in for anything but asocial hour when they try tosqueeze thru.

Still 25-Des 3Moines U. 26The second game of the season

found Still against Des Moines U.January 7, losing by a one-pointmargin.

Our defeat can only be attrib-uted to ourselves and not to thesuperiority of the Des Moines U.team, although they played goodbasketball and have a well coach-ed team.

We did not at any time duringthe game play like a Still Col-lege team, and by correcting themistakes of this game, we willbe working smoothly for our nextencounter.

The forwards simply could notfind each other, and as a result,had to resort to long shots, butmanaged to keep within a fewpoints of the lead, and with thescore tied at 25 all, a foul byWeldon gave Ullrich two throws.missing the first but winning thegame on his second attempt.

Our defense functioned betterthan our offense, but we couldnot keep their score small enoughto allow us to win.

Sutton took his team to Lamonito display some basketball tech-nique to the Graceland boys. Theteam duplicated its first night'sperformance, passing accuratelyand playing a strong defenseivegame to hold a 17-14 lead at thehalf.

The boys came back even more(Continued on page 3)

Put the Young Doctorson the Job With You

This is something for our old-er and well established physi-cians and surgeons to consider-for three reasons: To save them-selves for longer and finer serviceto their community; to .helptrain these young graduates andgive them the benefit of their.skill and experience; and becausethey owe it to their practice andthe community to provide thatenough skilled osteopathic phy-sicians shall be kept on the jobfor ministrations in time of need.

The physician who is in a po-sition to do these things and doesnot is shortsighted, selfish andunfair. When his skilled hands,with their years of experience,stop for a rest, who will continueto care for his friends, his neigh-bors, his own family, and evenhimself?

There is plenty of work forevery one in every community, ifthe profession in that commun-ity will cooperate in a friendly,educational way for the largestinterests of that center. This isnot theory. We can name manycenters where it is working outsatisfactorily, with everybodybusy and happy and the com-munity growing osteopathicallystronger each year.

It is our competitive spirit,our own selfish selves who get inthe way. We must sow if wehope to reap. We must givelargely if we expect to receivelargely. This is a law of life, alaw of the universe-the law ofcompensation which we may obeyand in obeying succeed.

Our young doctors need moreexperience in acute practice.Even a year's interneship doesnot fully suffice. Let them go tothe bedside with you in hospitalor home. Dr. Cabot declares that

Obstetrical ClinicGrowing

Have our Clinics been growing?Just place your name on the ob-stetrical list for a few days andmuch to your surprise, the storkwill keep you up most of thenights, taking care of the visitshe makes.

The past month of Decemberwas probably one of the busiestin the last few years of historyof the Obstetrical Clinic. Amongthe many cases were two ofspecial interest, the first one be-ing a breech presentation whichgave the students an opportunityto see an actual demonstrationof a breech extraction. The sec-ond case was a forceps delivery.The one great ambition of everystudent in school is to witnessa forceps delivery before com-pleting his obstetrical career inStill College.

During the month of Decemberthere were twenty-three deliver-ies with thirteen of these duringthe Christmas holidays. On eachcase three students assisted theAccoucheur, which gave every-one a great scope of experience.

The Clinic has been increasingin size rapidly and at the pres-ent rate of increase each studentwill have the opportunity to de-liver three cases and assist oneight cases, in addition. With thepresent enthusiasm and goodwork, the Obstetrical Clinicshould grow to be the greatestin the history of Still College, ifnot the greatest in the historyof anyOsteopathic College.

A Large or SmallSchool?

The choice between a small anda large school is an age-old one.There are arguments on bothsides and there are times whenthe large school seems to havewon. These are cases, however,in which standardization ofschools of the same type is diffi-cult or impossible. To have re-moved the argument of greaterstanding and better professor-ship from the discussion in favorof a large school is to haveweakened its contentions de-cidedly.

Thru the activities of theBureau of Colleges, the Osteo-pathic colleges are approachingan era of standardization notbettered in the schools of anyother profession. An Osteopathicschool which is recognized is aschool of certain sound standingboth as to reputation and tomaterial offered. There is noquestion of attending largerschools for greater standing inthis profession.

What, then, are the reasonsfor smaller schools? Outstand-ingly the advantage in a smallgroup is a personal one. Thecontacts in a school of two tothree hundred cannot be imper-sonal. They are bound to be theindividual reactions of person-ality against personality. Thisapplies between student andstudent and between student andinstructor. That the latter con-bination shall be an advantageto the student presupposes adistinction of personality in theprofessorial staff. All schoolsmay not attain this, but any sin.-cere board of trustees willstrive for it. A student enter-ing a school of smaller enroll-ment may feel assured somesincere attempt has been madeto select for HIS, benefit andsatisfaction a group of men andwomen sufficiently equipped in-training and experience to buildinto his life. Such a standard isset for the selection of any in-structing staff, but it is only inthe intimate associations of thesmaller classes that the studentreaps the full benefits of suchcare on the part of the board.

Given a curriculum of standardrequirements in every line; afaculty meeting all requirementsof preparations; equipmentwhich is requisite for under-standing work; a sincere interestand faith in the profession andthe student, who, in addition toall this, comes to know his fel-low students and faculty notjust as associates but as friends,cannot but gain thereby.

marriage to Miss Isabelle Deal,"God's Masterpiece," which tookplace last summer. Our congrat-ulations are in order as soon aswe see the cigars.

We are not just certain yethow many of the boys marcheddown the aisle during the vaca-tion. But we have our suspicions,however. Sigourney and one ortwo other towns have been re-ferred to the vigilance commit-tee for investigation.

Shaw, Smith and DuBois areunanimous in claiming that"Nick" Gill is the best cook inPolk County. He can do it likeMother used to.

"Peel" Loghry had his tonsilsremoved during vacation and isnow fully recovered. In a way itwas a tough break for him.

Put the Young Doctoron the Job With You

(Continued from page 1)after years of experience andconsiderable opposition in theearlier days they have deter-mined that not alone in the in-terests of the new or youngerdoctors, but in the interests ofpatients and in the further inter-ests of the physician in charge,this method of taking the younggraduate into the hospital andto the bedside works. The physi-cian in charge will do muchbetter work, he declares, be morecareful in the little details,where these younger confreresare observing. The patient getsbetter service and the young doc-tor is getting a first-hand con-tact and training that cannot beduplicated elsewhere. It is thisintimate contact with one or twoat the bedside or by the table,closely watching the skilled ex-perienced physician and surgeonat work. that makes for keenerwork and more success.

OLD MAN KNEW HISSYMPTOMS

t doctors on the slightest provoca-ition Recently he called in ayoung physician who had gained

My vacation? Did I? I'll say Idid. It was just marvelous you'llperish with envy when I tell you,I n a l k I a b u y o u r w o w_ o_ a- t i eTalk about your wow of a time'

Well, here's the dirt. We tookthe boat for Duluth and I hadno sooner touched foot to thegang plank when I saw twodresses exactly like that littleblue frock that I had purchasedespecially for the ride. Well,there was another good piece ofstitching gone wrong. And, mydear, would you weather it?-there wasn't a man on the boatunder 50. We were bored totears.

We did manage to egg out adance or two in the evening. Oneold Romeo, especially - whosewife left him for a bridge game-took rather a fancy to me.And do you know, I thought Inever would ditch him. My dear,after the first dance with himmy dogs started to bark in pro-test. And as for silly chatter-I know his mind would have lefthim long ago if it hadn't beentoo weak to travel.

Well, the boat trip was a totalloss as far as Romance was con-cerned-if you get what I mean.

At the resort there were justoodles of trees, mosquitoes andbugs. The mosquitoes simply de-voured us alive. I know I didn'tsleep a wink the entire time.

The first day on the beach weacquired such a sunburn that wewere in agony.

However, it rained the rest ofthe week, so it didn't matter somuch. It just slays me to thinkthat I was unable to wear mynew imported bathing costumemore than once.

Of course, one can't have allthe comforts of home at a sum-mer resort. I mean, of course,that shower baths and maids areutterly impossible, but I DOadore roughing it.

Looking ForwardAny ambitious young man

looking for a career naturallywishes to know whether, shouldhe choose to follow a given pro-fession, it will, in the days tocome, give the largest scope andopportunity for the service he isprepared to render. He shouldike to be a part of a movement

that keeps pace with the everchanging needs of the world-amovement that keeps abreast of,if it does not initiate, the prog-ress of the world in a given field.

To devote one's youth to prep-aration and then find the time,energy and money wasted, be-cause in the meantime the worldhas advanced, is to make a fail-ure of life at its very outset.Time is a most relentless thingand tarries not at all. And in nolife may time be profitably lostin pursuit of an unworthy ob-jective.

Long before Plato. men real-ized that only in devotion togreat ideals is there happiness,and only in service to, mankindis there hope of immortality.

Perhaps in no field of individ-ual endeavor are opportunitiesgreater than those which cometo the physician of scientifictraining and pro-social tenden-cies. And among physicians, noneare so fortunately placed as arethose with the newer and broaderperspective of Osteopathy acontribution of the modernworld to the science and practiceof healing.

Osteopathy has everything tooffer that may be found in medi-cine, and very much which med-icine has thus far signally failedto either grasp or utilize. ToOsteopathy falls the credit forrecognizing the determining rolewhich structural integrity playsin the maintainance of bodilyfunction and of devising ways ofapplying this knowledge to theexigency of disease.

There was a young couple namedSlightem,

Who were afraid that diseasegerms would bite 'em.

They ate an apple a dayTo keep the doctor away.

3ut he came and brought twinsjust to spite 'em!

Hobson-Why do you call yourhouse a bungalow?

Dobson--Well, the job was abungle and I still owe for it.

"How about some nice horse-radish?" said the grocer to thebride.

"Oh, no, indeed! We keep acar,"-( Forward).

With "Red" Smith doing allthat can be asked of a guard inthe way of defensive basketball,it seems up to the front line toturn in the victories. "Mac"Friend, who has been known forhis great all around play, is go-ing "hotter" than ever, and stillhas his eye for the ones thatcount. DuBois, King, Hubbardand Kendall are dependableplayers and can be sent into thegame at any time to relieve theveterans.

Coach Sutton is spending lotsof time with each man this yearand before the season is ended,should present the greatest teamin the history of the school.

Still 3- -0maha U. 34Playing the second home game

of the season against Omaha U.,Wednesday evening, January 11,Still found its opponents playinga slow deliberate type of basket-ball, and with Freddie Benz inthe lineup, it was not until thelast minute that the game waspulled out of the fire. Still wonby a two-point margin.

With Freddie Benz startinghis first game for Still, CoachSutton's men started off with abang, scoring a basket on thetip-off, but the lead did not lastlong. as Schneider, the cool-headed Omaha center, directedhis team into scoring positionfor two easy shots, and OmahakeDnt thP IPP -1 4l i-fil fn lns ;-I

ute, excepting two even countsat 24 all and 28 all.

With Smith and Benz startingthe driving attack, Still usuallyhad several shots at the hoopbefore the apple was recoveredby Omaha, but the boys justcouldn't "hit 'em"7 and as a re-sult, trailed the Omaha team17-11 at the half.

The second half brough Benzup to center, giving Still controlof the tip-off and strengtheninga weak defensive spot, forcingOmaha to shoot from mid-court,with the result that Still keptwithin two or three points ofthe lead and tied the score onseveral occasions, due mostly tothe bullet passes of Benz to theforward under the basket, foreasy shots, and finally with thecount even at 34 all, with lessthan a minute to go, Benz de-cided the game in Still's favorby cleverly sidestepping a fast-charging Omaha guard and thendropped the ball through thebasket for two points as the gunsounded.

Benz gave a great account ofhimself in his first appearancefor Still, and with such men asFriend, Davis, Smith and Wel-don to co-operate with him,Coach Sutton has about all hecan ask for in the way of ma-terial, and with the student bodybehind their team, they are go-ing to be hard to stop.

Basketball(By Harold Davis)

Still 43-Buena Vista 40Still found Buena Vista a tough

team to beat and it required twoovertime periods to win. Hub-bard coming thru with two bas-kets in the second overtime per-iod, did it.

Still started the scoring firstbut Buena Vista came right backand took the lead for most ofthe first half, while Benz keptStill in the running by executingaccurate passes and gettingmore than his share of the bas-kets, the half ending 23 to 22 inStill's favor-largely because ofthe great work of Benz at centerfor Still.

Coach Sutton made some shiftsat the half and his men enjoyeda ten-point lead, which was cutto seven near the end of thegame and finally evened up asthe gun sounded.

At the beginning of the firstovertime period, Benz was eject-ed because of fouls and the gameseemed lost, but due to thefighting spirit of the team and.their will to win, Hubbard putthe game on ice by droppingtwo thru the loop to end thecontest.

Still 50-TrinIity 34Against Trinity, Benz again

played the stellar part in theone-sided victory at Sioux City.His bullet-like passes being con-verted into baskets, and his de-fensive opposition proved toogreat for the opposition, andtheir attempts to get aroundhim turned out to be a completefilbrp

At the half, the Still boys heldonly a one-point lead, but theycame back with new life andplayed the victory march onTrinity's basket to gain a six-teen-point decision.

Still 40-Western Union 43A week's rest did not seem to

help Still in their battle againstWestern Union, as the boys dis-played some listless basketball,forgetting they were ever in-structed in defensive tactics, andas a result, lost by a three-pointmargin.

Benz, however, played greatbasketball, scoring 14 baskets,but the other men expected toomuch from him, seemingly sat-isfied to let him do the scoring,and 43 points was just a littletoo big for him to hurdle. As aresult, our moral victory wasn'teven encouraging.

With the defense perfected toco-operate with the offense-Coach Sutton is going to presentone of the strongest teams inthe state.

Hospitals Opened to AllPractitioners

On the ground that the orderof the board of county commis-sioners, allowing all licencedpractitioners to practice in theTwin Falls county general hos-pital, is not illegal, the Idahosupreme court affirmed the ac-tion of the Twin Falls districtcourt in removing restrictionsagainst the use of the hospitalby osteopaths and chiropractors.

Twin Falls county commission-ers adopted resolutions "restrict-ing membership of the hospitalstaff to the 'regular' school ofphysicians and surgeons and ex-cluded the so-called 'irregulars,'chiefly the osteopaths and chiro-practors." Later the board res-cinded the order and removedthe restrictions. The trial court,however, vacated the first orderof the commissioners.- (IdahoFree Press, Jan. 11.)

President ---- G. 0. SmithVice President C. C. DeLongSecretary -- Frank DornbushTreasurer ----- Raymond KaleOther officers of more or less

minor importance were alsochosen. The retiring officers whoserved the fraternity during thepast, after making their partingremarks, were permitted to re-tire from their positions.

On January 17th a banquet inhonor of the departing brotherswas held at the Kirkwood Hotel.On this solemn occasion BrothersLyddon, Devine, Kramer andLindbloom were the guests. Itseems that Brother Mac bore thebrunt of the remarks made dur-ing the evening, about table andotherwise. We don't know exactlywhy,. except that he put awayquite a lot of food. We had withus, and it was indeed a pleasure,Drs. Woods, Halladay and Parks.

The Sigma Sigma Phi medals-for Proficiency and Service were:awarded as usual to the two menwho most deserved them. Themedal for Proficiency was givento Forest Schaeffer; the one forService to Arthur W. Lyddon,It seemed that the extra awardscrowded conditions and his ex-graduating exercises meant morethan the sheepskins-to the aud-ience as well as the graduatesEvidently the diploma didn'tmean so much after all.

"Hap" Nowlin is now singingthat popular ballad-"BrokenHearted." It is a true exampleof his ol' Pal stealing his ol' Gal.We extend our heartfelt sym-pathies, and have a gun on theshelf, which you are welcome touse at any time.

We're rather short on "newsynotes" at this time; haven't hadtime to get a line on all the boys-as yet.

Bad news about Dr. I. J. Now-lin, interning at the PolyclinicHospital. Just before going topress we were informed, from areliable source, that he is con-templating marriage.

"Red" Smith, due to over-crowded conditions and his ex-treme carelessness in throwingabout his clothes, was forced tovacate his quarters (in Room208). He has located in our"Ladies" room . for the presentWe trust he will be comfortableand not suffer from the cold anymore.

We wonder what took placewhen "Buddo" Gephart was homefor the Xmas holidays? It musthave been something unusual, be-cause he has refrained from"stepping out" of late. We hearrumors!

Brothers Rohde and Smith ex-hibited an excellent street clean-ing squad on the Grand Avenuehill. We wonder where theseBrothers got their experience?Anyhow, "Fruit" DuBois realizesthat Des Moines is no "one-horse town!"

:DES MOINES STILL COLLEGEOF OSTEOPATHY

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

Faculty Advisor ....- H. V. Halladay

Editor i............- .- L. J. Grinnell


Where Are the Doctors?

Instead of the old inquiry,-"What becomes of all the pins?"it would seem that one might-well ask the ultimate fate of allthe doctors. Year after year a cry-for medical help comes from.every rural community because.of the lack of physicians. The.old-time doctor whose faithful.old Dobbin drew the buggy orthe cutter thru the countryroads at all hours of the day ornight, and who was ever readyto respond to the call of the suf-fering, has vanished completelyfrom the world. In his place isthe physician living in a com-fortable home in the nearby vil-lage, whose office hours are setrigidly, and who is more likelyto prescribe over the telephonethan to risk his automobile inthe highways covered with snow.

Yet in spite of the increasingdemand for doctors in the ruraldistricts and apparent short cropof medical graduates, there ap-pears to be no falling-off in thenumber of young men who arealways ready to matriculate inthe medical departments of theuniversities.

There are today no fewer than80 medical schools in the country-the graduates from which arepermitted to practice the heal-ing art in any state wherein theyy-ay choose to locate. During thelast college year the aggregatenumber of students enrolled inthese colleges of medicine was18,690 men and 964 women, andenrollments have steadily in-creased since the closing of thewar.

It is safe to estimate that witha total student body of 20,000the annual crop of doctors is notfewer than 25 per cent of thatnumber, or 5,000 each year, andas the medical profession is notclassed as especially hazardous,most of them probably live tothe average age allotted to man.

What, then, becomes of thedoctors, and why is the shortageso acute in the rural districts.-(Washington Post.)

A priest offered twenty-fivecents to the boy who could tellhim who was the greatest manIn history.

"Christopher Columbus," saidthe Italian boy.

"George Washington," answer-ed the American boy.

"St. Patrick," shouted the Jew-ish boy.

"The quarter is yours," saidthe priest, "but why did you saySt. Patrick?"

"Right down in my heart Iknew it was Moses," said the boy"but business is business!"

The Nasal Turbinates

The function of the turbinatebones in the nose is that of airfilter, lubricator, and warm airradiator.

Because these three finger-likestructures are composed of aform of erectile tissue, capableof varying in size with heat, coldand other stimuli, they wereformerly often though of as agrowth in the nose and frequent-ly operated. Today their functionand necessity to health is recog-nized and respected.

One either side of the septumthere are three structures aboutthe size and appearance of achild's little finger. These arethe turbinates, sometimes calledthe "swell bodies" or air filters.They filter the foreign particlesfrom the warm air we breathe,thereby protecting the lungs.

If too much of the turbinateis removed there is not sufficientair radiation surface left to pro-tect the lungs or prevent a hot,harsh, dry and scaly feeling inthe nose. Because of the useful-ness of the bodies we have learn-ed to look elsewhere when pos-sible for a correction of troublein the nasal passages.

Disease of the turbinate isusually caused by a "deviated,"that is crooked or deformed, sep-tum pressing against the tur-binates and irritating them togrow and remain enlarged to theextent of causing sinus troubleor catarrhal dripping.

The correction for this is theremoval of the septum by skill-fully slipping it out of its en-closing membrane. This is a ted-ious operation but one of theleast distressing of the nose op-erations. When the irritation isremoved, the turbinates will re-turn to their normal size andfunction.

While an occasional turbinateoperation is necessary, it is sel-dom that the turbinate itself isthe primary cause of disease.Narrowed noses with frequenthead colds may give rise to apermanent turbinate obstruction,necessitating reomval of one ofthe turbinate structures to affordnormal breathing and drainage,even though the septum isstraight and normal.

Whatever the cause of ob-structed nasal breathing, a cor-rection is imperative because ofthe serous consequence to thebody from lowered vitality thruinsufficient oxygen supply.

The mouth when not clean is amost perfect place of culture forgerms and second only to a filthycolon.

Many eye and ear troubles aredue to want of care of the teeth.Root abscesses are a real menaceto health,.

Teeth not properly cared forand decayed may be a contrib-uting cause of cancer in thestomach.

Faulty positions weaken theimportant abdominal muscles,and lessen chest expansion, in-duce constipation and bring onflat foot.

Good posture means a wellbalanced body.

Many cases of facial neuralgiaare due to the teeth.

Faulty positions of standingand sitting cause sagging of thevital organs which is calledptosis.

With bad teeth the food can-not be properly masticated andproper mastication is an import-and safeguard to health.

The man who masticates care-fully soon loses all desire forhighly seasoned or rich foods.

Breast milk is nature's food,but even this form of nourish-ment can be spoiled if the babyis allowed to nurse whenever hecries.

Feed the baby by the clock andwake him regularly in the day-time to take nourishment.

Fruit juices should be given tobottle babies once a day afterthe third month, and may begiven to breast-fed children bythe second half of the first year.

All that is good in life insur-ance is combined in this Endow-ment contract. It carries cashvalues, paid-up insurance valuesand automatic extended insur-ance values. It provides for adividend at the end of the firstfive years and at the end of eachfive-year period thereafter.

The contract, therefore, is notan expense, but an investment.The investor of one or more unitsis not only contributing to anendowment fund for one of thebest schools in the professionbut is also depositing each yearon the best investment that it ispossible to make.

One of the most interestingfeatures at the laying of thecornerstone of the Hospital wasthe presence of the Color Bearersof the Veterans of Foreign Warsbearing the State and Nation-colors. A group of twenty-fiveCamp-fire girls marshalled to-gether for the purpose of singing"America The Beautiful," whichadded to the impressive settingfurnished by the massing of thecolors.

Stations WNAC and WEEIbroadcasted the day's proceed-ings and every daily newspaperin Boston gave an unprecedentedamount of space to the day's ac-tivities.

A great celebration of theevent took place at the Copley-Plaza in the evening when about850 osteopathic physicians andtheir friends enjoyed a mam-moth banquet which was follow-ed by speaking and dancing.

Dr. Frank M. Vaughan, Vice-President of the Hospital andSecretary of the Mass. StateBoard of Registration in Medi-cine, presided. Among the speak-ers were J. Weston Allen, formerAttorney-General of Mass., whospoke on the contribution theOsteopathic Hospital was goingto represent to the communitywelfare. Dr. C. D. Balbirnie ofPhiladelphia, told those presenthow he succeeded in raising onemillion dollars for the Philadel-phia Osteopathic Hospital. Otherspeakers were Dr. Geo. M. Laugh-lin, Dr. Geo. V. Webster, and Dr.Geo. W. Riley, Ex-President ofthe A. 0. A.

The hospital will ever stand asa fitting memorial to the dis-coveries of Dr. Still and to thesplendid work of the New Eng-land profession and will enablethe osteopathic physicians ofGreater Boston to give greaterservice than heretofore to theunder-privileged, as it is plannedto establish a large clinic as soonas the hospital is ready for use.It will also enable the professionof New England to look after thesurgical needs of their patientsand provide hospital care to allpatients in need of it.-(BessieJ.

Celebrates Twenty-FifthAnniversary

Dr. J. A. Nowlin of FarmerCity, Ill., is this year celebratinghis twenty-fifth anniversary inthe practice of Osteopathy inthat city.

Dr. Nowlin says, in part:-"Twenty-five years ago Osteo-

"My first rooms were in theCommercial Hotel, as no onewould rent me an office for theythought I would only be here afew months and starve out. Iam free to admit that for sev-eral months it did look like 'slowstarvation' but 'I stayed with theship' and what Osteopathy ishere today and what I have, Iowe to Osteopathy and my manyfriends who realize and are freeto discuss what Osteopathy hasdone for them.

"I have been prosecuted and'persecuted' but my friends stoodby me and we won out, and todayit is a pleasure to be able to re-lieve suffering humanity of manyof their ills.

Our Next Issue

Theblue envelope that you

The _blue envelope that you'have een receiving the LogBook in, is to be discarded forthe conventional white. Thereare reasons. The main one is thatyour address is not plainly seenon the darker color. This has inthe past caused the loss of aconsiderable number and if thestamping machine does not strikefirmly, the imprint is too dimto be read.

We realize that habit is hardto break, but ask you to changeyour habit of looking for theblue envelope every two weeksand in the future, save the whiteone. It will be the same size andwill have the same imprint inthe upper left corner. This is tobe printed in royal purple, whichwith the white, will display ourcollege colors.

Look for the white envelope-not blue. We hope its contentswill be read not red.

NOTICE!Of late, we have been the

recipients of returred LogBooks, for the reason 'Moved."We also have receiVed somenotices of Change of Address.Some of these Addresses havewritten in two or more timesrequesgting change -f address.In reply, we might say thatat |times the envelopes aremade up for several months inadvance. The Editor wishes toexpress his regrets for the in-convenience caused some ofthe readers and to assure themthat this matter is beingtaken care of.

If there are others whoseLog Books are being forward-ed from an old address, orwho are not receiving theircopies at all, please drop usa line and we will be glad torectify the mistake.

The Log Book is sent with-out charge to Practitioners,Hospitals, Organizations andto prospective students, andit is hoped that each copymay contain something ofvalue, or something of inter-est to each and all of itsreaders.

Let us have any suggestionsyou may have--The Editor.

News of Recent Grads

Dr. Leroy 'Skidmore, Class ofMay, 1927, who is interning at theDetroit Osteopathic Hospital,writes in to say that he is notonly enjoying his work there, butlearning a great deal which willbe of great value to him in hiswork when he opens his office.

Doctors F. E. Schaeffer, Stan-eyJ Evans, J. Hayward :Friend

and L. R. Morgan of the Class ofJanuary, 1928, were successful inpassing the Iowa State Board ofExaminations held last month.The others have not been heardfrom as yet. We will look for-ward to hearing from them attheir earliest convenience.

Announcement

Dr. W. C. Holloway of Thomas-ville, Ga., announces his marriageto Miss Kathryn Davidson ofMenlo, Iowa, on January 17, 1928.

Dr. Holloway states that Geor-gia is a wonderful state for Os-teopaths, that the ExaminingBoard is very fair and that thereare many good towns and citieshaving no Osteopaths at all, andthat there are many others hav-ing only one or two, which needmore. He wishes that anyone de-siring to know about the' law,board, and anything pertainingto Osteopathy in that statewould write him. Also he wouldlike to hear from his friends inand out of college.

It has just been discoveredthat Dr. L. H. Loghry, Class ofJanuary, 1928, is married and hasbeen since November 10, 1925.Dr. Loghry deserves a medal forkeeping a secret.

We offer our congratulationsto him and his bride, whose namewe are anxious to know.

Of Interest

Dr. R. R. Peckham, Professorof Anatomy at the Chicago Col-lege of Olsteopathy, was a recentvisitor at D.M.S.C.O. Dr. Peck-ham was shown about the build-ing by Dr. Halladay, and leftwith an excellent opinion of ourCollege.

Expelled

At the end of the mid-yearterm, one of our colleges expelledthree students. And for goodreasons. This action on the partof the college deserves our at-tention. It has been known formany years that undesirable stu-dentsi are attending our colleges,and yet as all know who are as-sociated in this work, it takes agreat ideal of will power and de-termination to call a student in-to your office and tell him thathe will not be accepted after acertain date. These things mustbe done. It is but one step inthe making of a profession ofwhich we wish to be proud, evento each individual member.

These same three students pre-sented thmselves at another col-lege for matriculation. Theywere not admitted. This is an-other step in the elimination ofa type. Would you not have moreconfidence in the students ofthese two colleges in the future?The loss of three students doesnot mean much financially, or innumbers, but in a case of thiskind it means something that isgreater than anything we can ex-press mathematically.

These two colleges are to becongratulated.

YOUR PICTUREA Grand and Glorious Feeling

it would be if you could look atyour picture as you will be tenlor twenty years from now. Es-pecially if this picture couldshow your professional standing,

Lyour s'oci'a anl d '- 'ancial ... i-ing, and last, but not least, yourphysical condition. Wouldn't thatbe wonderful-but wait a minute-it might be a shock or a chill,instead of a "Grand and GloriousFeeling" and a thrill.

Maybe after all, it's just as wellwe can't see ourselves, ten ortwenty years from now, but any-way, that ought not keep us from"Dreaming" of what we want tobe, or how we will put in ourtime "when we can retire."Dreaming is the finest thing inthe world, so long as we "Strive"incessantly to make our dreamscome true. And of course, youknow, we each of us have tomake 'em "come true, else theyjust burst like a bubble" and noone suffers but us, individually-(of course, including the wifeand kiddies and our other de-pendents.)

According to Dr. H. V.

So far, he does notseem to be in such a bad humor,so there must be a few scatteredover the country that have opin-ions similar to his.

Maybe we can get him to ex-press a few truths for the read-ers of the Log Book. Virg says hehad no idea so many of the pro-fession could read and write.That was a dirty dig and we hes-itate to pass it on.

Pternalgia-PainfulHeel

By C. I. GROFF, D. S. C.Professor Foot Orthopedics,

D. M. S. C. O.

Part 1Pain in the heel is a condition

which those treating feet com-monly meet. It is. due to severalcauses, or is of several types; thecommon ones being due to (1)injury to traumma; (2) spurs;(3) neuralgic or toxic, (4) TendoArchilles bursitis.

Those conditions of traumma,spurs and neuralgia must be dif-ferentiated from each other.Pain due to Tendo Achilles bur-gitis being rapidly recognized.

Spurs:-Pathology. There is avery definite and sometimes sur-prisingly large exostosis present.It may be located at any pointon the calcaneaus bone, but usu-ally is directly on the plantarsurface at the attachment of thetendon of the gastrocnemiusand soleus muscles. The exostosisis usually sharp and pointed, andusually curved forward, forcingits way into the dense fibrousheel pad in that area.

Symptoms,: Excruciating painwhen weight is borne on the heel,usually relieved when the weightis removed. The onset is usuallygradual, but may appear spon-taneously with the changing ofshoes. (By the previous statementI mean changing from an oldshoe with a hollow or cuppedheel, to one that is flat).

Diagnosis: This condition iseasily diagnosed by taking a leadpencil and pressing the rubberof it against the heel at differentpoints until the painful area islocated. When that area is loca-ted, it will be. found to be nolarger than the end of the pencilland the least variation in thelocation of the point of pressurewill show either pain, or no pain,depending upon whether or notthe pressure is being applied di-rectly to the end of the spur.When symptoms such as theseare encountered, an X-ray shouldALWAYS be made to confirm thediagnosis and to note the amountof pathology present and also tonote whether or not there isother extensive pathology pres-ent.

Etiology: The cause of such acondition is not definitely known,however, it sometimes follows.direct injury to the heel, strainof the Tendo Achilles at its at-tachment.; gonorrhea is some-times blamed for the onset.

Treatment: (1) Paliative. Re-lief may be had by strapping or

padding. A pad may be made bytaking /-inch mixed wool andcotton chiropody felt of suffic-ient width to cover the inside ofthe heel of the shoe and longenough to extend forward almostto the cuboid bone, and then cut-ting out a depression at point ofthe spur to prevent it from forc-ing its way farther into the softtissues. The same results may behad with adhesive tape. Tapefour inches wide is used and ofsufficient length to pass from apoint slightly posterior to thebase of the 5th metatarsal, backof the heel and thence anteriorto the scaphoid area on the inneraspect of the foot. The tape isextended up on the posteriorpart of the heel about two in-ches, leaving about two inches ofthe width unattached. You cansee now that you have a Uformed by the adhesive aroundthe heel, with a free edge. Nowtake your scissors and at a pointmidway between the anteriorend of the adhesive and the cen-ter of the U, cut at an angle, sothat the tape will be cut up andback to the posterior lateral as-pect of the heel, where it is ad-hered to the foot. Repeat theprocess on the inner side. Thetwo cuts extend about half waythru the tape and come withinone inch of meeting. To com-plete the strapping, be sure thetape now in contact with thefoot is well adhered, grasp withone hand the free edge of one ofthe side flaps and pull it firmlyacross the plantar surface of theheel. Do the same with the op-posite side. (It will overlap theone from the opposite side).Grasp the remaining free flapwhich hangs from the posteriorborder of the heel and bring itfirmly forward over the two prev-ious flaps. A considerable amountof tension should be used indrawing the flaps of adhesiveacross the heel. The tape on thesides and back of the heel canbe prevented from pulling loosewhile fastening the others bygrasping the heel in the freehand.

It should be understood thatthis is only a palliative treat-ment to be used only until suchtime as to be convenient for thepatient to have the spur re-moved.

(2) Surgical Treatment: Anincision is made on the lateralor medial border of the heel,medial preferred, unless the spuris near the outside, and the tis-sues resected from the heel tothe point where the spur is lo-cated. A bone forceps or a chiselis then used to remove the spur,care being taken to remove itsmooth with the bone, The spur,when severed from the calcan-eous, is then retrieved and theincision closed. Recovery is quiterapid and re-occurance is almostunknown.

It is advisable to make the in-cision on the side of the heel,rather than the plantar surface,in order to avoid having a scarwhere pressure is applied to theheel.

Injury or Traumma: This con-dition may arise from strikingthe heel a severe blow or by con-stant walking or standing; cer-

3

tain occupations predisposing toit. If the condition should arisefrom striking the heel a suddenblow, as in falling, etc., the his-tory will be an indication of thenature of the pathology.

Etiology: Traumma, long stand-ing or walking in conjunctionwith poor circulation or a gen-eral debilitated condition, un-even tread surface in the heel ofthe shoe.

Pathology: If due to direct in-jury, the heel will be sore topressure. The soreness is deep,seeming to involve the perios-teum of the bone. The sorenesswill cover a considerable area ofthe heel. There may or may notbe perceptible swelling.

In the chronic type the denseheel pad has lost its firmness andseems to be forced to the sides,bringing the heel bone (calcan-eous) into too close oppositionto the shoe. There is a generalsoreness over the entire heel,which is sometimes associated-with a burning or tingling sen-sation.

Diagnosis: Diagnosis is madefrom the history and clinicalfinding, as history of injury, con-dition of heel pad, and locationand size of the sore or painfularea.

Treatment: The treatment usedis the same as for spur. Thestrapping given for that condi-tion should be applied for fromone to three weeks, or until thesoreness is relieved, and then apad made from chiropody felt 14-inch, fitted into the heel. Thepad should extend slightly anter-ior to the anterior margin of thecalcaneous and a depressionskeived into it at the pointwhere the prominence of the cal-caneous rests. The strapping andpad have a tendency to replacethe displaced fatty heel pad. Theresult s are very satisfactory inthe majority of cases. A shoewith a cupped heel should be ad-vised at the completion of thetreatment to avoid further oc-curance.

Stlli 30-Nebraska Wesleyan 33Still fell under a concentrated

attack of the determined Nebras-ka boys and lost a close game,after holding the lead severaltimes during the game and neverbeing behind more than a fewpoints, finally losing by a closemargin, due to the stalling tac-tics employed by the invaders,after getting a lead in the finaltwo minutes of the game.

Still 30-Parsons 25Still upset Parsons College,

Iowa Conference Champions thelast two years, by a 5-point mar-gin. Playing without the servicesof Fred Benz, because of a pro-test by Coach Devine of Parsons,the Still boys understood theirhandicap, and from the firstwhistle played such defensivebasketball that Parsons did notget one short basket during thegame.

No individual efforts stood outas every man played his partwell, with the team reaching itsclimax of the season.

Homer Friend, following in thefootsteps of his brother, madegood on three attempts out offour, and sunk one free throw intwo attempts, and played like aveteran during his stay' in thegame.

Coach Sutton has several goodfirst year men in Dubois, Friend,Gill, Hubbard and King, and ifthey properly develop, shouldform the nucleus of a great teamnext season.

Still 34- -Platt 50Platt College of St. Joe found

Still College an easy prey to itsfast driving and breaking offense,piling up a 11-point lead at thehalf and coming back strongafter the intermission, to in-crease their lead.

With Benz out of the lineup,due to a severe leg injury, theStill team found itself unable toconcentrate its attack to any onedirection and consequently hadto be satisfied with shots far outinto the court, and only connect-ing a few times, just managingto keep Still in the game andproviding what seemed to bepassive opposition for the in-vaders.

the Still boys swamped Lehox bya heavy score and were never indanger of losing the lead.

At the assembly on Fridaymorning, February 17th, we wereentertained by two Drake Univer-sity students, who ably attractedand held our attention with sev-eral musical selections and read-ings.

Miss Wilma Raynor performedat the piano for many minutesbefore her appreciative audiencewould allow her partner to havehis say. These readings, given byMr. James Hooper, and in severaldialects, were highly amusing andalso appreciated. In fact, we al-ways enjoy these programs puton by students from both Drakeand Des Moines University. Thereare many very talented musiciansand readers at both of these in-stitutions. We will always wel-come any of them at our assem-blies, and hope to see more ofthem take advantage of our al-ways open invitation.

The balance of this period waswell taken care of by our own"Virg," who, at the behest of theStillonian '28 staff delivered anultimatum to the student body ingeneral, to wit: All subscriptionsto the 1928 Stillonian MUST bein and paid for not later thanMarch 15th, if there is to be aYear Book this year. Big resultsare expected from this talk.

I Knew Him When-

This last week I received a cardstating that Dr. John Deasonwassoon to retire from practice. Be-ing of a selfish nature, I am notworrying about what will happento you, but I would like to knowwhat will happen to me when heretires. John has been occupyinga large spot in my vision forquite a few years. I knew himwhen he was a student and tootedon a silver cornet leading theband as a side line to his manyother activities at the school. Iknew him as an instructor, andsince his entrance into practiceI have known him as a friend andco-worker in several things. I donot want to see him drop out. Itis perfectly all right with me forhim to retire. I wish that I coulddo the same thing. But John Dea-son has a lot more years ahead ofhim that I hope he will devoteto the work he has been so vital-ly interested in for more than fif-teen years, and that is Osteopa-thy.. His future plans have notbeen announced. I shall not guessat them, but knowing him just alittle, I imagine that he willspend part of the year huntingin the Nforth. Another part ofthe year I am sure he will use insome way for the good of man-kind. Where, what, or how, Idare not hazard.

May I close by quoting fromthe 1913 Osteoblast:Who leads our band with such

dash and dareThat drives away all blues and

care? John Deason.

Who labels his jokes before theycome

And bids us laugh when they aredone? John Deason.

Of whom should cats and dogsbeware

And think his pat a loving snare?John Deason.

Who is our friend when we aredown

And laughs at us when we ouldfrown? John Deason.

tTake It Seriously a

An undeniable tendency exists tmong undergraduates to scoff at rhe student who takes his education seriously-who makes a con- icientious effort to gain a thoro i:nowledge of the subjects he is n

tudying, instead of devising ineans to "get by" with a mini- j

num amount of effort.The majority of students come 1

o college with some idea, surely, if obtaining an education. Many,,s soon as they arrive, try tolodge as much of it as possible. lf a professor has not arrived at

class by two and a half min-ltes after the hour, the whole*lass departs precipitately, pray-ng that they can get down theback stairs of the building be-fore he can get up the front ones.If a few students evince a desire;o wait until the entire threeminutes required by universityrulings have elapsed, they be-come the objects of scorn andderision.

If it is worth while to spendfour years in pursuit of an edu-cation, surely it is worth theextra effort necessary to get thebest of it, not a superficial smat-tering of miscellaneous informa-tion. The student who is covertlylaughed at now for his conscien-tiousness is likely to have thelast laugh in the years to come.-- (Indiana Daily Student.)

Collegiate EnglishStudents indulge in' slang as if

Students indulge in slang as ifit were the standard of excell-ence. The process continues tothe point of complete renuncia-tion of the standard for the ver-nacular. That is when slang be-comes boring and tiresome. Itscharm, if there was any, has beenlost by making it a rubber stamp.The same process makes somepeople positively undesirable inso far as speech relationship is

eld with them. They seeminglyre unable to go beyond element-ry language, and leave the rest

slang. The time and the effort>ent in gathering the slang andsseminating it for the delec-ition (presumably) of others,)uld just as well be turned toie more commendable task ofarning to speak the convention-

tongue with correctness andise.There is a literary language

Lst as lively as the vernacular,nd more pleasing, both in formnd content. The "You're allet" clan, the "cute" girls, andhe "bull shooters" ought to goito the question sometime andnd out that there is an Englishinguage with some 450,000ords.-(Ohio State Lantern.)

,Osteopathy Without Limitation

Exposed At Last

If the medical trust is allowedto continue its law-making pro-gram, practically every right pos-sessed by the citizens of thiscountry in connection with thephysical care of the body will betaken from them.

The allopathic doctors, throughtheir societies, have built up one,of the most powerful lobbies thathas ever been known in the his-tory of this country. One of thegreatest evils that this age facesat this time is the constantlygrowing political influence of thecommercial side of the doctoringprofession.

Our best doctors do not needprotection of this sort and theydo not want, it. We have nothingagainst doctors as individuals-regardless of the school they rep-resent. Doctors are good, bad andindifferent, the same as otherpeople. Many of them are wonder-ful men. They spend their livesbenefiting humanity.

But those whose abilities havenot enabled them to build up afinancially lucrative practice areturning here, there and every-where to increase their income.And they are backing all theselegislative efforts to force peopleInto their office. We look up toour medical men as health au-thorities.

Pternalgia- PainfulHeel

Part 2Neuralgic or Toxic Heel: This

condition is peculiar in that thecause and the pathology can notalways be definitely determined.

Etiology: not definitely known.It may be a nervous disturbanceor it may be due to a focal in-fection located in some otherpoint in the body.

Pathology: There is no definitepathology. There may be a slightswelling or hyperemia but theyare usually absent.

Symptoms: The patient willcomplain of spasms of pain in theheel. It may occur when walk-ing, standing or resting. The painmay shift from place to place.In palpating the heel you mayfind that pressure to a point willgive pain and that pressure im-mediately applied a second timewill not give a symptom of pain,while pressure at another pointnot previously painful, will be as-sociated with a very sharp laci-nating pain. The patient maygive a history of considerablesoreness immediately upon aris-ing. Many variations of thesesymptoms will be met with.

Treatment: local treatment intrue neuralgic or toxic heel seemsof little or no avail. Generaltreatment should be directed tothe nervous system and to re-moval of any focal infection ifsuch can be located. Elimina-tion of waste products should bespeeded up in any way possible.A diet not too high in proteinsand other acid forming foods canbe used to advantage. A largevariety of fruits and vegetablesare to be desired. Spinach is ofparticular value if there is a ten-dency to acidosis.

Tendo Achilles Bursitis: Thisis a condition of inflammation ofthe bursa between the TendoAchilles and the calcaneous bone.

Pathology: Inflammation ofthe Tendo Achilles and calcaneousbone. The inflammation is usu-ally quite severe and may extendalong the tendon, giving tendosinovitis. In the acute stageswelling is pronounced.

Etiology: Strain due to chang-ing from high to low heel shoes.Strain due to exertion as, trackmen, especially sprinters. It mayalso be due to the pressure ofthe counter of the shoe, forcingthe tendon into too close apposi-tion to the calcaneous, imping-in,g the bursa, thereby setting upthe inflammation.

Symptoms: Severe pain on theposterior aspect of the heel witha highly inflamed swollen area.The pain is augmented with use.When recumbent the patient ex-tends the foot on the ankle andflexes the knee on the thigh torelax the gastrachnemius and so-leus muscles, one of which is at-tached above the knee and onebelow-both being inserted onthe planter surface of the calca-neous by the tendo achilles. Thishas a tendency to relieve thetension on the tendon and also toincrease the space between thetendon and posterior surface ofthe calcaneous, thereby relievingthe pressure on the bursa. Press-

ure of palpation causes greatpain.

Diagnosis: Diagnosis is easilymade from location, swelling andpain.

Treatment: Rest if possiblewith ice packs. If the conditionis not severe and it is desired tokeep patient on the feet, treat-ment as follows may be used:

Increase height of heels /4 inchand then strap with adhesive.The strapping is made by takingadhesive two inches wide and ofsufficient length to reach fromwell forward on the planter sur-face of the heel to a point threeor four inches below the knee onthe posterior surface of the calf.

The tape is to relieve the ten-sion on the tendon and it alsohas a tendency, due to the con-tour of the leg, to pull the ten-don away from the affected bur-sa, thereby relieving the pressureon it.

The tape should be put on sothat there is a moderate amountof tension on it when the patientis standing erect with the shoeon.

Several trials may be neces-sary in order to produce the cor-rect amount of tension. Whenthe tape is finally applied cor-rectly it should be anchored withone inch strips at several pointson the calf of the leg; also at theheel in such a manner that it willtend to pull the tendon awayfrom the bursa. It should alsobe well anchored on the plantersurface of the foot. The tapeshould be made of two thickness-es of adhesive stuck together, inall cases except small children,when one thickness will be suf-ficient to hold. Considerationshould also be given to the coun-ter of the shoe. If it seems tobe placing undue presure on thetendon it may be necessary toplace chiropody felt /8 inchthick in the counter of the heelin such a manner as to place thepressure low down on the heeland relieve the presure higherup.

There are other conditionswhich may cause pain in the heelbut which are not commonly metwith. The most common are T.B. and syphilis. One should al-ways be on the lookout for suchconditions and when in doubt usethe X-ray.

Advice to Fledglings

(By One Who Knows)Don't write for information

about locations or other matters,without enclosing a stamped,self-addressed envelope, other-wise, the recipient checks theinquirer as a moocher, a deadbeat or wholly ignorant of bus-iness civilities, any or all ofwhich does not cause the inquirerto vault in the estimation ofstrangers.

Don't try to open an office ifyou are "broke"-go back to theposition you formerly held, tillthe wardrobe is replenished, thedebts paid and a nice little cred-it in the bank.

Don't believe that "two canlive cheaper than one" and rushinto matrimony to prove it;no crying demand for domestic,dishwashingdoctors, whether menor women.

Don't credit the fallacy that"folks give the married doctorpreference." Sick folks are want-ing skill, efficiency, results, andhealth, not hunting places togive charity, so the well groomed,detached doctor is called.

Don't be in a tearing hurry tostart rearing a family; somebodymay, in times agone, have hireda longshoreman because he wasragged and "had a wife and ninechildren." That plea never nevercaused anyone to employ a manas a physician.

Don't ask your colleague or theestablished physician to give youa loan after you choose your lo-cation. Take your financial prob-lems to the pawn broker or thebanker they Specialize in suchmatters.

Don't forget to call on all theestablished Osteopathic Physic-ians in the towns where you lookfor locations. Oh no, they arenot a bit jealous of you or theleast afraid. They know you forjust what you are-a fledgling-trying his wings. If asked, theycan give you a million helpfulthings. Every city or town hassome third rate locations andbuildings, (hoodooed), in whichno newcomer can succeed. Incertain sections of the United,States, physicians can office suc-cessfully in their homes, in otherlocations the best doctor whoever lived would never receive acall if he tried to office in hisresidence. No beginner can affordto buck established customs andprecedents-each locality hascertain beliefs and customs thatMUST be observed and respected,The established physicians willkindly point these out to thefledgling, if he will listen, andthereby save himself much time,heartache, and disappointment.

Don't forget to consult the es-tablished physician in the townyou choose for your practice,concerning the best localities foryour residence, your office, yourannouncements cards, your plansfor advertising-in short, every-thing. Oh, yes, it takes his timeand thought to thus advise you,but he would rather do it, thanhave you fail and thus hurt Os-teopathy-your interests are Mu-tual, not individual.

Advice to Fledglings(Continued from page 3)

Don't forget after you are lo-cated, to send your cards to allOsteopathic Physicians in a ra-dius of one hundred miles-fail-ure to do this will retard yourbusiness at least two years.

Don't neglect to join all yourlocal professional organizationsand attend every meeting, nomatter if you do not like thefreckles of some of them, or ad-mire the voice of another; thecommunity is taking their meas-ure of you by your attitude to-ward those who have made yourpractice possible, the laity havetheir own ideas about thesethings.

When asked to talk before someP. T. A. or other organization,don't rise up and give some ex-temporaneous, puerile comments.Choose a good topic, then read,think, write, think, rewrite andthink some more, put the best inyou in that talk and every othertalk you make before the public-do not do a single professionalthing of which you are not justlyproud.

Don't fail to keep case recordsof every patient you see. Startright, and continue on the sameline.

Don't adversely criticise anyreligion, political party, othertherapies or practices. Be posi-tive about Osteopathy; that isthe only thing you are paid to do-and in the ratio that you arepositive about Osteopathy, yourpractice will grow. Above allthings, never so far forget your-self as to make a disparaging re-mark about a colleague. He hashis friends, and many acquaint-ances who are neutral, but whowill straightway become positivefor him if you make derogatoryremarks. He is a taxpayer-adefinite asset to the communityany you hope to be.-(Journal ofA.O.A. 1923. Dr. Roberta Wimer-Ford).

Modern MedicineI went to a modern doctor to

learn what it was was wrong. I'dlately been off my fodder, andlife was no more a song. He feltmy pulse as they all do, he gazedat my outstretched tongue; Hetook off my coat and weskit andharked at each wheezing lung.

He fed me a small glass pen-stalk with figures on the side,and this was the final verdict-when all of my marks he spied.Do you eat fried eggs? Then quitit. You don't? Then hurry andeat 'em, along with some haythat was cut in May, there's noother food to beat 'em.

Do you walk? Then stop in-stanter for exercise will not dofor people with whom it doesnot agree-and this is the rulefor you;just quit whatever youdo do, and begin whatever youdon't; for what you don't do mayagree with you-as whatever youdo do don't.-(Selected).

Basketball

Coach Sutton's basket ball teamclearly demonstrated its superi-ority over the Kirksville five,winning three of the four-gameseries played this season. Theywon the first of the two gamesplayed at Kirksville, and lost thesecond largely because of an in-jury tA'6 Fred' Benz, which forcedCoach Sutton to change his line-up. This proved too much of ahandicap for his men to over-come, and they were beaten by aclose margin.

During the two weeks of restand the recovery of Benz, CoachSutton outline an entirely dif-ferent style of offense, and de-fense which proved its success inthe last two Kirksville games.

The laurels of success, however,are not all bestowed upon ourmodest Coach Sutton, as our slim,titian-haired captain and centerclosed his Still College basketballcareer by playing one of the mostbrilliant passing and floor gamesever played by a purple and whitecager.

"Red's" playing will long beremembered in the history ofStill College basketball, and hisloss by graduation will be feltkeenly by the team next year.

Another individual, in the per-son of Fred Benz, deserves morethan ordinary credit, because ofhis playing determination on thefloor, and versatility of handlingany position assigned to him.Benz is- regarded by many to bethe greatest basketball playerdeveloped at Grinnell College, andwill be a big asset to Coach Sut-ton in building up his team nextyear.

The spirit of Still College isevidenced in Coach Sutton, whohas overcome the obstacles andhandicaps which face him everyyear because of the lack of a gym-nasium and athletic field, by hispersistency and undying efforts

to co-operate with his men.Our school is fortunate in hav-

ing such a man as its athletichead, and Coach Sutton's highcharacter is carried out by theclean and sportsmanlike playingof his athletes.

As a word of praise to theKirksville men, who deserve a lotof credit for their clean, hardplaying we want them to knowthey have the hardest fightingteam that played against'our boysthis year.

Dr. H. V. Halladay ToVisit East

Dr. H. V. Halladay left Satur-day night for Philadelphia, wherehe is invited to talk to the stu-dents at the Osteopathic Collegein that city. The officials of thePhiladelphia College have forsome time past been trying toget Dr. Halladay there to talk be-fore the student body, and at thistime he will spend three dayswith them-Tuesday, Wednesday,and Thursday.

The subject of Dr. Halladay'slectures will be "Principles ofTechnique." On Wednesday nighthe will talk to the local associa-tion and their friends on "Princi-ples of Osteopathy."

Immediately after this session,Dr. Halladay will leave for theEastern States Osteopathic Asso-

ciation s annual convention atthe Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Heis on the program both days ofthe meeting, Friday and Satur-day. His subject at this timewill be his two favorites, athleticwork, and the Sacro-iliac. Ath-letic coaches will be present at aluncheon on the first day, to whomDr. Halladay will speak on whatOsteopathy does for athletics.

The Eastern States Associationnever fails to invite Dr. Virg,and insists upon his attendanceat their meetings.

While he is gone, our tempo-rary loss is their permanent gain.

O. W. N. A.

The O. W. N. A. chapter of DesMoines has had a busy and pros'perous year. At the regularluncheon and business meetingheld the first Tuesday of eachmonth at the Hotel Savery, therehave not been as many of ourmriembers from over the state tojoin with us as we could hopefor, but all who have come havebeen most heartily welcome.

The third Tuesday of eachmonth seems to be the most con-venient time for all the Osteo-paths of the city to join with thewomen's organization for the so-cial evening. These meetingshave been held every month. InOctober was the clinic, a mostsuccessful day, fully appreciatedby everybody and generally feltto be just a paving of the wayfor a number of other such pro-grams.

In November the evening meet-ing was a housewarming at thenew college, with a splendid sup-per, followed by a varied and in-teresting program.

The December meeting datecame into the busy holiday sea-son, and so was postponed untilJanuary. On January 17, dinnerwas held at the Y. W. C. A. Fol-lowing the dinner, Dr. Fred Camp-and Dr. J. P. Schwartz presentedgroups of case histories, their di-agnosis, treatment and outcome.These talks were of extremevalue and interest to members ofthe osteopathic profession.

The February social meetingfell on the twenty-first, and againdinner was enjoyed at the Y. W.C. A., followed by an Osteopathicprogram. Dr. D. W. Robertsspoke most entertainingly and in-structively on "Observations Aft-er Twenty Years of Practice."Dr. C. I. Groff, a member of theDes Moines Still College faculty,spoke upon some painful footconditions and what may be doneto correct them. His talk in-cluded a very instructive demon-stration of a heel strap of valuein certain forms of painful heel.

Dr. A. W. Clow of Washington,Iowa, closed the evening's pro-gram with a pep talk on what theIowa Bulletin can mean to theOsteopaths of this state, and asprightly appeal for their sup-port.

The March meeting will beheld on the Twentieth, with din-ner at the Y. W. C. A., followedby an Osteopathic round-tablediscussion. Every Osteopath iscordially invited to be there.

Vox Prof.Dear Editor: In the last issue

(Feb. 15th) I read with interestand approval your article en-titled "Expelled." I think everycollege, especially of Osteopathy,should guard well the moral aswell as the intellectual qualifica-tions of its graduate, for cnehesitates to associate profes-sionally, in consultation or in as-;sociations (local) with disreput-able confreres. I have alwaysbeen strong for discipline.

Fraternally,T. G. Phelps, D. 0.

Dear Editor: I don't know howyou get that way changing thecolor of our envelopes, but thenyou know we are glad you havean eye for economy. We are al-ways glad to get the Log Book,though it will lose a lot of in-terest for us when the boys weknow have graduated.

Fraternally,L. S. Schaeffer, D. 0.

May we not hear from you ifyou have any words of praise, orof criticism. The Log Book ispublished for you and it is de-sired that it be of the type thatwill interest and entertain you;to help you to recall your daysin college, wherever they were.

Send 'em in, those criticisms.We wish to improve and grow.

Take Your Pick

A case has been cited by Dr.C. E. Walton, a prominent home-opath, of a wealthy Europeanwhose attending physicians dis-agreed over his disease, where-upon he resolved to consult sev-eral doctors and to take theirtreatment, provided any coursewas agreed upon by three ofthem.

He consulted many, keeping anexact account of every consulta-tion in a book for that purpose,resembling a ledger in largefolio. However, he did not suc-ceed in finding any two whoagreed respecting his case andaccordingly, did not follow anyadvice, but remained withouttreatment.

The number of doctors he con-sulted was 477, and the numberof prescriptions received was832, containing in all 1,097 rem-edies.-Take your pick, is right!-(Stilletto).

Almost OsteopathyThe following item is an ex-

tract from an article which ap-peared in a French medical jour-nal recently. The article wasbriefed and the following reportpublished in the A. M. A. Journal."Gastric Phenomena Connected

With Yertebral Lesions"Zahradnicek describes four of

his twenty-six cases in whichgastrointestinal disturbances wereconnected with lesions of the ver-tebral column. Some of the pa-tients presented stubborn diar-rhea, others gastric atonia, painin the stomach, and vomiting. Innone of the patients did Roent-gen-ray examinations or chemicaltests reveal any changes in thestomach. On the other hand,there were always lesions in someof the vertebrae. Tuberculousspondylitis was the most fre-quent. This causes chemical andmechanical changes in the bloodcirculation which reflects on theganglion cells of the sympathetic.Irritation of these cells increasesthe inhibiting action of the sym-pathetic on gastric motility. At-omy and reduction of gastric se-cretion result. On the other hand,the spinal lesion may, occasionparalysis and suppression: o6f theinhibiting action of the sympa-thetic on gastric motility. Thisenhances the activity of the para-sympathetic, resulting in exag-gerated intestinal peristalsis anddiarrhea. The gastric phenom-ena disappeared as soon as the le-sion of the spine had been im-proved."

It looksas though they were be,ginning to discover a few thingswhich osteopaths have known forso long. Whether or not thesefew leads they have discoveredwill take them very far in theright direction is, of course, im-possible to say. What osteopathymust do is to nail down our pri-ority in these matters so thatthe public will not let the medi-cal men push us aside. Hurrythe work of the Research Insti-tute and give it wide jublicity.H. E. L. in Journal of Osteopathy.

Duboiswas developed from a forwardinto a guard, and turned out tobe a big cog in the defense to-ward thb season's close. Weldonand Lang also performed well inthe back court, and Weldon'spresence will also be missed bygraduation next year.

(Continued from page 3)two respects it may be likenedto electricity. In the first place,we are fully aware of how eachworks, but we do not know whateither is. In the second place,each possesses great potentialpowers, worthless unless broughtinto action. Electricity gives uslight and motive power, schoolspirit keeps the school movingupward and onward, and it doesnot doe when adverse conditionscome in the way. "Per aspera, adastra." School spirit is a sub-jective attitude toward yourAlma Mater, manifesting itselfin what you do for her. It doesnot consist in mere words, butinvolves constructive action. Thestudent who tears down andfails to build up again is not per-vaded by School Spirit, neither ishe filling the gap, for the studentwho does what he ought to do al-ways strives to build up.

that we have four kinds of stu-dents; namely, the Jerkers, theShirkers, the Sleepers and theWorkers. The Jerkers-who arethey? The name implies theircharacter. No matter what thestudents decide to do, the Jerk-er finds fault with it. He has no-thing but cynical criticism to of-fer, seldom, if ever, permittinga constructive word to squeezethrough his lips. His lips areturned down, his forehead frowns,and he sees no good in anything.Such students criticize for thesake of criticizing, it appears,and fortunately there are notmany of them. They have neitherschool spirit, nor do they fill thegap.

The Shirkers are a class anala-gous to the Jerkers, in as muchas they never do anything buttalk. They do not have the Jerk-er's cynical attitude, but saymany fine things. They talkabout what they are going to do,but they never do it. They ad-vocate, for instance, that the ten-nis courts be put into shape, butwhen the tennis committee seeks

The Sleepers 'can be dismissedwith a word. They are altogetnertoo numerous on our campus.Behold them waddle along, list-less and without initiative. Theyneither do nor say anything.Wake up!

The Workers! Pray God formore of them. They are the saltof the school, and upon their con-tinued willingness and untiringefforts depend, to a large extent,the success of the school. Theysee their field of duty not onlyin the sphere of outside activi-ties, but feel it incumbent uponthem to study as well, and thushelp to maintain a good generalscholastic standing. They actwhen they are asked to act, anddo all within their power to helpthe school-to make her whatshe ought to be, to spread hername and fame.

Prevalence of Communi-cable Disease in Iowa

Aside from influenza, there hasbeen no material change in thenumber of communicable diseasesreported during the past week.

Influenza of a rather mild typeprevails in a number of places inthe state. Reports indicate thatit is highly contagious and onceit gets started in a community,it spreads very rapidly.

A number of cases of pneumo-nia following influenza have beenreported.

Scarlet fever, which is on theincrease in many portions of theUnited States, shows a decliningtendency in Iowa.

Diphtheria is also showing adecline. Last week only 12 caseswere reported. This comparesvery favorably with the 28 caseswith the corresponding week lastyear. This favorable showing isno doubt due, in part, if not en-tirely, to the campaign of diph-theria eradication by meansof toxin-antitoxin immunizationnow being carried out in manyparts of the state.


Interneships Awarded

We have learned since the lastissue that three of the January,1928, graduates have been giveninterneships at the Los AngelesCounty General Hospital. Thedoctors, namely Luther Drabing,Arthur Lyddon and Harold De-vine, have left for Los Angelesto take up their various duties.

Success to them in a large way!

The Foot Department

The Foot Department insti-tuted for the first time this yearunder the direction of Dr. C. I.Groff, has made a very satisfac-tory start.

Lectures and demonstrationsare given to the Seniors on Tues-day and Thursday of each week.

The lectures are of such a na-ture as to give the student agood basic foundation and knowl-edge of the more common footconditions met with in practice.Particular emphasis is placed onthe Osteopathic or manipulativeside of the work. The clinic ma-terial has been of sufficient quan-tity and the variety of casessuch as to give the students thenecessary practical experiencenecessary to a proper understand-ing of the work and the ability togive relief or effect cures-

The department is growing andmore interest is constantly beingshown. Another year should showa marked growth of the depart-ment.

Speaking of versatile per-sonages, the way he "puts away"the food at dinner, plus sororitysauce, would bring joy to theheart of any mother, but it hasa decidedly different effect onthe stability of the commissary.The fellow who drank 100 cupsof coffee hasn't a chance.

Brother Peterson has a veryobnoxious habit of late. That ofwaking certain parties up in the"wee sma' hours". We feel thathis good intentions do not com-pensate for the subsequent lossof temper of the boys.

THOUGHT NUGGETSBy Jean Rich

Think much for yourself, nottoo much about yourself.

The sentiment of even thesmallest gift often runs far in-to one's heart, just as a drop ofink from a pen runs far overthe paper and into sentimentsand good cheer.

"Back talk" rarely sends a manahead.

Spend little effort and you willhave little less to spend.

The best place to live in: Otherpeople's hearts.

A minute is the biggest littlething there is. Save it! Use it!

You cannot travel within andstand still without.

Success comes from pleasing. Saturday.

ToleranceI do not believe in permitting

every barber or organ player whowants to hang out a shingle topractice medicine or attemptcures, but I do assert that thereis room for those who believe inscratching the muscles and read-justing the backbone and givinginternal baths and in proper dietor the use of water in ill-health,as well as for those who rely onnostrums and drugs and pelletsand pills and serums. I havebeen treated by allopaths, natu-ropaths, hydropaths, osteopaths,in my time, and I have foundthat the best man is the one whoaids Nature to a readjustment ofyour body that it is Nature her-self who does the heavy work.Give her a chance, boost her overthe rough places, provide herwith a certain amount of rawmaterials, and don't hamper herwith your obstinacy or hamstringher with your bad habits, andpresently she will be running thejob at the old stand, and doing itpretty efficiently, too.-LutherBurbank, in "The Harvest of theYears."

Keeping Clean

God loveth the clean, the Ko-ran says.

Soap, clean water, air, and sun-shine are all that good plumbingneeds to keep it in condition.

Because warm baths are sooth-ing in their effect, they are ap-propriate at bed time. They arevery beneficial to persons in-clined to sleeplessness.

Soap bubbles are like littlefreight cars that load up withwaste matter and dirt. That iswhy lather should be rinsed off inclear water when you are bath-ing, not left on the skin or wipedoff on the towel.

Towels, whether for the personor the dishes, must be hung apartto dry and changed frequently.If left in a damp, dark place,they may foster the growth ofbacteria picked up at the time ofuse.

A simple answer to that puz-zling question, "How often shouldI wash my hair?" is a look atyour hair brush. When it needswashing your hair needs wash-ing. Every two weeks, at least,is a sensible rule.

Cleanliness was simpler in theold days when men roamedthrough the wilds, exerting them-selves strenuously, perspiringfreely, wearing few clothes, andplunging occasionally into a-tro+nm 1 TnixI tw W rtr m rn

Blames Fruit ForInfantile Paralysis

Germs on fresh fruit, particu-larly apples and berries whichare eaten with the peelings, havebeen advanced as a cause of in-fantile paralysis by Dr. C. S.Betts of the Betts Osteopathicclinic in Huron.

Dr. Betts has asked to have histheories, gleaned through 25years' observance of infantileparalysis cases, thoroughly in-vestigated by the South DakotaState Board of Health.

Dr. Betts has summed up someof his more important observa-tions as follows:

"During 25 yeads of practicewe have treated a goodly num-ber of acute cases of infantileparalysis and have also treated agreater number of cases in theearly chronic stge.

"I do not recollect a case thatoccurred in the winter or earlyspring. All cases occur after theberry and fruit shipping seasonstarts.

"Chickens usually run in orch-ards during the spring and alsoin berry patches. Barnyard lit-ter is generally used both forwinter cover and spread on berrypatches in the spring for its fer-tilizing proprties. The berriesare contaminated with such sub-stances and early apples are gen-erally those picked off the ground(windfalls).

The first case of infantile par-alysis comes on in the summerand increases in numbers as theshipping season advances.

"Infantile paralysis is notedfor its occurrences in families ofthe well to do or those in moder-ately financed condition. It bearsno relativity to dirt and pov-erty, those people being remark-ably free from the disease. Webelieve th germ is on the freshfruit.

"Children eat the fruit un-washed, peeling and all. The pre-valence of the disease ceases withthe fruit shipping season. Ap-ples picked from trees and keptin cold storage are apparentlybut little contaminated. It isprobable the vitality of the germis killed by drying and loweredtemperatures." - Huron S. D.,Huronite.

NoiseThere is a class of men that

gets along fairly well for years bymaking an impression upon theimpressionable, whose whole stockin trade is noise. They do notlast forever, but some of themlast an astonishingly long time.Like -toy balloons these wind-in-flated beings make a gaudy ap-pearance for a while, but in timecollapse.

The Low-Down On Man

Man can't ,sleep out of doors without freezing todeath or getting rheumatism; he can't keep his noseunder water over a minute without being drowned.He's the poorest, clumsiest excuse of all the creaturesthat inhabit the earth.

He has to be coddled, swathed and bandaged to beable to live at all. He is a rickety soirt of thing anyway you take him-a regular museum of inferiorities.

He is always undergoing repairs. A machine as un-reliable as he is would have no, market.

The lower animals appear to us to get their teethwithout pain or inconvenience; man's come throughafter months of cruel torture, at a time when he isleast able to bear it. As soon as he gets them theymust be pulled out again.

The second set will last for a while, but he willnever get a set that he can, depend on until the dent-ist makes one.

Man starts in as a child, and lives on disease to theend, as a regular diet.

He has mumps, scarlet fever, whooping cough, ton-silitis, and diphtheria, as a matter of course.

Afterwards, as he goes along, hi,s life continues tobe threatened at every turn by colds, coughs, asthma,bronchitis, quinsy, consumption, yellow fever, blind-ness, influenza, carbuncles, pneumonia, softening ofthe brain and a thousand other maladies of one sortand another.

He's just a basketful of pestilent corruption pro-vided for the support and entertainment of microbes.Look at the workmanship of him in some particulars.

What's the appendix for? It has no value. Its soleinterest is to lie and wait for a stray grape seed an.dbreed trouble.

What is his beard for? It is just a nuisance. Allnations persecute it with a razor. Nature, however,always keeps him supplied with it, instead of puttingit on his head.

A man wants to keep his hair. It is a graceful orna-ment, a comfort, the best protection against weather,and he prizes it above emeralds and rubies, and halfthe time nature puts it on so it won't stay.

Man isn't even handsome, and as for style, look atthe Bengal tiger-that ideal of grace, physical perfec-tion and majesty.

Think of the lion, the leopard, then think of man,that poor thing.

The animal of the wig, the ear trumpet, the glasseye, the porcelain teeth, the wooden leg, the silverwindpipe, a creature that is mended all from top tobottom.

Eastward Ho!The annual trek to our na-

tional metropolis mlis year in-cluded a stop at the far famedcity of Brotherly Love. Lastyear we had the opportunity ofmeeting the student body of thePhiladelphia College but thisyear we enjoyed the honor ofspeaking to them for severalhours spread over a three 'dayperiod.

Dr. Holden, Dean, and Dr.Soden, one -of the instructors,had written ahead several weeksand asked that we stop and dem-onstrate. With apologies to thefamous Col. Lindberg let us statethat "we" in this case refers tothe spine and its pilot.

Tuesday was spent with theclasses and in the evening wemet with the city group andfriends celebrating NationalSpine Week. Wednesday wentmuch the same as Tuesday witha meeting with the Atlas Clubin the evening and a trip thruChinatown and some of thestreets and alleys in the roughpart of the city. Thursday wefinished about noon and leftsoon after for New York.

I want to say that I was veryfavorably impressed with thePhiladelphia College. They arestill in the old building but havedefinite plans for the construc-tion of a new College and Hos-pital in a very fine location. Thestudent body is enthusiastic, theteachers are all working hardand while I did not have time tolisten to any of the lectures Ifound that the work is satisfac-tory in all departments. Dr.Drew proved his skill as a sur-geon on Thursday by perform-ing a Caesarian Section withcomplete histerectomy. It looksto me as if the Philadelphia Col-lege will make rapid strides inthe next few years. They havethe support of a large numberof influential men and they arelocated in a very advantageousposition in many ways.

The New York meeting is al-ways a bright spot in Osteo-pathic work. The bunch therealways seem glad to see you andit seems to me there is an en-thusiastic atmosphere every-where in the meeting. Fridayevening we were treated to two

Iowa OsteopathicBulletin

We note with pleasure the waythe Bulletin handled the articleabout the Des Moines GeneralHospital. The Hospital certain-ly deserves all the advertisingthat may be given it through thepages of the various professionalpublications in the state. Thehospital is worthy of all the finethings that may be said of it andits 'staff of surgeons, dotors, in-ternes and nurses. To spend aday going through it is an edu-cation in itself. More of the pro-fession in the state should availthemselves of the first opportun-ity that presents itself and visitthe Des Moines General Hospital.

A Question

If you flatter a woman itmakes her unbearable; if youdon't, you bore her to death. Ifyou believe all she tells you, shethinks you are a fool, if you don'tshe thinks you are a cynic.

If you are a henpecked typeshe doubts whether you havebrains, and if you are a modern,advanced and independent manshe doubts whether you have aheart. If you are silly she longsfor a bright mate, and if youare brilliant and intellectual shelongs for a playmate.

If you are popular with theother women, she is jealous! andif you are not, she hesitates tomarry a wallflower.

If all this is true about womenmay I ask, what is a college

man to do? Clipped.

The Printer's Mistake

Typographical errors are oneof the chief banes of a news-paper man's existence.

The story is told of an editorwho recently wrote a "puff" forthe belle of the ball, saying:"Her dainty feet were incased inshoes that might have been takenfor fairy boots."

Malvern Doctor Keeps800 Stork Dates

Many of the medical maga-zines of today are Demoaning thepassing of the old time- familydoctor. This is an age of special-ization. The physician, with hisfamiliar Dobbin and shay, is be-moaned as a relic of the past. Nolonger can one man treat every-thing from sore toe to pneu-monia.

But has he gone? We thinknot. We can find you any num-ber of good, honest, hard work-ing family physicians who areskilled in treating anything be-tween the cradle and the grave,and who out of their crowdedlives are the sympathetic soulswho share willingly, your mentalor physical woes. Old Dobbin,it is true, has given way to moremodern methods of travel, andthe doctor has modernized, but isstill the same dependent familyphysician as in days of yore, andwho, in the midst of his manyand diverse duties, cheerfullytakes the time to lend a sym-pathetic ear to both your sor-rows and your joys.

Iowa Osteopathy boasts of anumber or these all-round com-petent men and Dr. Kline of Mal-vern is a splendid example. Thegood Doctor started out in Mal-vern some twenty-six years ago;started with the proverbial Dob-bin and one horse shay. But astimes changed, so has Dr. Kline.In his day and night journeysover the territory surroundingMalvern and the town itself, hehas worn out a couple of Jack-sons, one Flanders, two Dodges,two Buicks, and three Fords. In-deed he should, by this time, bea competent judge of just whattype of automobile a doctorshould drive.

Dr. Kline's is a general prac-tice. Not that every case ishandled by himself. Those thatneed treatment or examinationwhich is to be had only in spe-cially equipped hospitals andclinics are so referred. Whenthe question is asked, "Do Osteo-pathic physicians handle obstet-rical cases?", you may referthem to Dr. Kline's record. Re-gardless of roads and regardlessof the hour the good Doctor haskept faithfully at his work andcan boast the proud record ofover eight hundred baby caseswith the loss of but one mother.This one happened to be atwelfth hour case when otherphysicians had refused to go.

Along with his busy practiceDr. Kline has found time to dohis bit for the community inwhich he lives. As chairman ofthe finance committee for thepast seventeen years and as amember of other committees hehas upheld his obligations to theFirst Baptist Church in Malvern.Several years have been servedon the Public School Board ofwhich he is now a member.Other community organizationshave always found him a reliableand trustworthy worker.

The old time "family doctor"may have passed, but in his steadwe have the modernized, up-to-

Of Interest

. ThecountyOwens

selection by Fillmoredemocrats of Dr. Claireas their candidate for

state representative carries asignificance which is not all re-lated to partisan politics. Dr.Owens is an intelligent womanand a doctor of the osteopathicschool. Althougii physicallysightless, she is anything butblind mentally. Being activelyengaged in the practice of herprofession it would appear thatall doctors should take specialpride in helping to place one oftheir tribe as a member of thestate's lawmaking body. Ofcourse the doctor of the regularmedical school will vote andboost for Dr. Owens. Like Kelleywill.

My Dear Log Book: I stillhave the very best practice inCalifornia. The reason is that itis all cash always and always hasbeen. The reason I want to quitis that I am 73 years old and Ihave practiced here 28 years. Icould have sold dozens of timeson tick or so much a month, butnothing doing, I want to quit.

Spot cash $1,000 will takeeverything and practice. Busi-ness, practice, furniture, goodwill and all. But it must becash. The practice is worthdouble that. A six room houseat $25 a montn. So please don'tbother me if you are broke andif you don't mean business.Yours very truly, but tired,

had our Spring Frolic. Dr. JohnVoss and Miss ZecK were thechaperones. The Hepatic Triofurnished the music. During in-termission, Mr. James Corbett,recently of Chicago, entertainedthe frolicers with several classi-cal numbers on the piano. Asusual, a good time was had byall.

However, our new mascot wasa bit lonesome. It was observedthat he made himself at homeafter a fashion. We are mostgrateful to Dudley for the dog.Dud claims that said quadrupedto be very intelligent. As a con-sequence he named him Mutt.Ole claims that a better namewould be "Carpenter."

Which leads up to the import-ant question that "Cec" Mussel-man would like solved "Whoput the junk in my bed?"

IOTA TAUI SIGMAAWell, we've left 2007 and are

now located up in the hills at692 17th street. We have plan-ned "Open House" for SundayMay 6th, and we hope to havemany visitors.

The baseball team started offon the right foot, and after open-ing the season with a tie gamewith the Non-Frats, the team ex-hibited some real baseball in thegame with the P. G. S. The suc-cess of this game was due to thepitching of Bob Ross and theheavy hitting of thie majority ofthe team.

Bro. Rhode seems to have thepropensities that few men pos-sess. He is efficient at many ofthe fine arts; parlor games andball games. His sterling perform-ance on first, coupled with hiscircuit drive helped materiallyin tne P. S. G. game.

Bro. Gill made a very impres-sive appearance in his snowwhite uniform. The drawers fit-ting his frame in "good shape."We were not aware that Indianswere so fond of white, we do re-call your vocation before cominghere, and we do understand thatyou were among the leaders inyour calling, you still have thatability.

Bro. Hovis may be called"Hoopy" for obvious reasons, buthis bowed legs are far from slow.His work behind the plate, on thepaths ,and with the stick werevery gratifying.

"Divy" Du Bois must havebeen dragging a ball and chainbetween first and second. He didsucceed in double crossing S. S.Hubbard of the P. S. i-.'s muchto the amusement of the throng.

Playing real baseball since thevery first day, "Red" Lang hasbeen a big factor in our successthus far. Besides being a goodthird baseman, "Red" relieved"Old War Horse" Ross when thelatter had to leave for work. TheDayton boy handled the situationvery cleverly.

Bro. Cudden leads the housein batting, he has delivered incrucial moments, a n d hassnagged flies in the outfield withregularity. His worn on themound as a relief pitcher wasgood also.

The diminutive "Runt" Rus-sell on second and "Long John"Smith make a smooth workingcombination for the pivot sack,on several occasions they haveeiAhibited real team work, and de-spite some very noticeable differ-ence in height they played to-gether as twins might. LongJohn makes a good short stop.

So much for the baseball.Bro. Sluss has been away a

greater part of the time. Wherewere you Sunday-not playingbaseball and the alibi that Sun-day was a day for the religiouslyinclined did not go over so bigeither.

"Mopey" Hewlett blossomedout in his new spring togs Sun-day. The "Beau Brummel" ofIota Tau "has IT" as his datebook indicates.

Bro. Gephart is contented now.With his new room-mates andnew chamber maids he is show-ing his usual agreeable natureagain. We suspect that there aremore reasons -she lives inSpringfield, Ohio, and "Buddo"will be traveling eastward soon.

We are pinning our hopes onBro. "Maniac" Morgan for su-premacy in the gentlemans' past-time. He has the best of supportfrom everyone in the house. Goto it, "Maniac."

"Nightwatchman" Herrick iscontinuing his mad pace. He didsurprise us by staying home onenight not so long ago. His pleais "Working." We wonder.

Judging from the activityamong the students in our base-ball team and gold tournamentsone would inter that our athleticcalendar does not stop with base-ball. As usual we have fourteams out for the inter-fraternitynon-fraternity baseball cham-pionship which the non-fraternitymen are defending again thisyear. Should they win again thecup that tney have won twice al-ready it will be their permanentpossession. However one wouldhesitate to guess what the out-come will be.

Twenty-eight men are out forthe tennis crown-the first timeto our knowledge that we haveever had a tennis tourney. Per-haps the reason we have neverhad one before is that it is a hardproposition to get suitable courtson which to play. This yearRusty Wright has scouted about

Golf has lagged behind a bitthis year, yet tnere are eighteenmen who are contesting Hyde-man's right to the championshipwhich he won last year. Severalvery promising men are in thatgroup and we are looking forsome good competition.

It was thought unwise to holda track meet this year on ac-count of the increased interestshown in other activities withdecreased time and interest intrack work. So no track meet

Organs One Can LoseAddressing the Interstate Post

Graduate Association at KansasCity, Dr. John F. Erdmann, ofINew York, said:

Decades ago man discovered hecould lose an eye and still livehappily. Man also could lose aleg or an arm and still be useful.

But now, Dr. Erdmann contin-ued, a man could go about hiswork minus a leg, an arm, aneye, his tonsils, appendix, gall-bladder, part of his lungs, andbrain, and as much as 12 feet ofhis intestines.

This was made possible, hesaid, by standard sterilization foroperations, by the use of modernanesthetics, and, most important,by the increased Knowledge asto the function of the human or-gans and experience in surgery.

"Since the war," he said, "thegall-bladder has been found to bepractically unnecessary so far asmaintenance of health was con-cerned. Persons with gall troubleare better off without the organ.

"And in recent years entirelobes of lungs have been takenaway with beneficial results.Surgery of the chest ,for thatmatter, is one or the newer de-velopments in the field. Theheart has been cut into and ad-justments made."-Med. Insur-ance.

Statistics of Vitality"Some Statistical Aspects of

Livingness" is the title of an in-teresting discussion by ProfessorD. Fraser-Harris in the Augustnumber of Scientific Monthly,from which we quote the follow-ing:

"The more sluggish a muscleor other organ is the longer itcan survive after the death ofthe animal of which it was apart. For it must be remember-ed that an animal can die as awhole (somatic death) and yetits various tissues, for instance,its muscles, can live for longeror shorter periods.

"Thus, whereas the muscle ofthe human heart is alive twohours atter bodily death, thebody muscles are alive five to sixhours thereafter. And whereasthe muscles of a rabbit will livefor eight and a half hours afterthe death of the animal, those ofa sheep will survive for ten anda half, those of a dog for elevenand three-quarters, those of a cattwelve and a half and those of afrog for from twenty-four toforty hours."

An Inquiry IntoOsteopathy

In a letter to the LondonTimes, Sir Montague Cotterill, asurgeon, points out that thereare a certain number of dulyregistered physicians in thiscountry who, in addition to theirordinary medical qualifications,have taken an opportunity of be-coming conversant with themethods and the practice of Os-teopathy. It is said that thesemen have thus cured or relievedailments that had failed to besuccessfully treated by the ordi-nary methods in vogue in medicalpractice. Before coming to theconclusion that these cures havebeen really due to some specialosteopathic treatment, one mustcarefully bear in mind that, con-trary to the general public opin-ion, the medical profession isfully aware of and sets a greatvalue on the curative potentiali-ties of what is commonly called"suggestion," which it prefers todescribe as "possessing the con-fidence of the patient," with allthat that entails. To what extent,then, does "suggestion" play apart in the reputed success ofOsteopathy? In ordinary medi-cal life any man fortunateenough (as Lister and othershave been) to make a discovery,or become possessed of knowl-edge in any spnere of the healingart which we deem would be ofservice to the medical world inits important services to the pub-lic he would consider it not onlyimperative but also his greatestpleasure and privilege to imparthis knowledge immediately, in allits details, to his medical breth-ren. One would have thoughtthat the osteopathic registeredphysicians in this country wouldin like manner have taken everyopportunity of imparting in thefullest way,and at the earliestmoment, the details of the spe-cial lines of osteopathic treat-ment which they claim to be ofsuch extraordinary value. Butno offer of this kind has beenmade.

Sir Montague Cotterill sug-gests that there be appointed acommittee consisting of authori-ties in anatomy, physiology,pathology, medicine and sur-gery. After an exhaustive in-vestigation of all the mattersconcerned (and this could not bedone except by a visit, extendingover several weeks ,to the chiefschool of Osteopathy in America)these men would give a report,which would be accepted by theprofession.-The Osteopath.

An American was prowlingaround a Scottish churchyard.His eyes caught an epitaph,"Lord, she was thin."

"Say, sexton, what d'ye makeof that?" he asked.

"That's a' richt sir; the sculp-tor went over near the edge of;he stone and didna leave roomfor the 'e."

The faults we see in otherswould seem small to us if wecould but see our own.

3A Trial Trip With

TraceyThe car has arrived! On Sun-

day, April 15th, a party of thegirls, with Tracey at the wheel,went to Greenwood Park for asteak fry.

We drove out in two batches.Leaving the first party under thecare of Miss Crawford with in-junctions to peel and prepare theonions, Tracey returned for theremainder. Mrs. Robinson wasallowed the front seat so thatshe might get a iew hints ondriving her new Pontiac, whileCowen sat in the back seat sur-rounded by pots and pans thatjingled so that it was unneces-sary for Lillian to "sound thetooter."

The supper was a sizzling suc-cess and there was keen compe-tition to see who could eat themost. Miss Crawford won aneasy first over'the meat, Traceyover the salad, but it would behard to say whether Mrs. Robin-son, Susan or Gladys ate themost onions, though a few weresatisfied with just the smell.Perhaps it was owing to this lastthat we soon had the cabin toourselves. Afterwards we madecandy, sat around tue fire, and(don't tell Dr. Halladay)"chewed the rag."

The greatest fun of all wasgetting the car started for thereturn home. We were near theentrance to the cabin, just on thehill ,and a drizzling rain wasfalling. First we lurched for-ward-then suddenly we werebumped backward-then anotherlurch-then a bump, and wewere so hysterical with laughterthat for a time we made poorTracey helpless, but she finallymade it. We all feel, however,that she is to be congratulatedfor her skillful and level headeddriving after suce a short timeof probation. We thank hervery much, and look forward tosome more enjoyable rides.

An Old Prayer Still Good(Here is an interesting old

prayer in verse, which dates fromthe eighteenth century at least.It is of English origin, but itsauthor is unknown. It is as ap-propriate today as when written,as a petition for divine help inLiving a happy, healthy and use-ful life here on earth.)Give me a good digestion, Lord,

and also something to digest,Give me a healthy body, Lord,

with sense enough to keep itat its best.

Give me a healthy mind, goodLord, to keep the good andpure in sight,

Which, seeing sin, is not appalledbut finds a way to set it right.

Give me a mind that is notbound, that does not whimper,whine or sigh.

Don't let me worry overmuchabout the fussy thing called I.

Give me a sense of humor, Lord;give me the grace to see ajoke,

To get some happiness out of lifeand pass it on to other folk.

THE LOG BOOK

Osteopathic DiagnosisBy JOHN M. WOODS, D. 0.

It is possible for an expert (juggler to balance himself upon a rone legged stool with both feet (raised from the floor; it is eveneasier for him to sit in compara-tive security upon a stool with '

two supports. When we are f"roughing it" we take delight, if iwe are not too exhausted from tpulling in Minnesota pike or 'some other foreign fish, in bal- ]ancing ourselves upon some old,decrepit, three legged chair ifthe back is securely propped (against the wall of the cabin.However, if we want perfect sup-port we choose a chair with fourstrong legs of equal length.

When an osteopathic examina-tion is made we have at our com-mand four methods: The casehistory, physical examination in-cluding the use of the X-ray,laboratory examinations and last,'but not least, our special osteo-pathic examination of the spinalcolumn and various other partsof the. body. In many cases itis possible to make a correctdiagnosis and properly treat thecase even though we use onlyone or two of the above methods.In other cases the failure to em-ploy all of the above methodsmay result disastrously for the,patient and make quite a dent inthe reputation of the physician.

Taking a good case history re-quires time and considerable un-derstanding of human nature,yet in some ways this history isthe best way of approaching thepatient both as an individual andas a case. Many times we cannotobtain the entire history at onetime but the patient will later ad-mit certain facts which at firsthe did not mention or denied.The patients' feeling that we mayattempt to act as a moral judgeas well as a physician must beovercome in many cases, so, byadvising rather than condemn-ing we can usually overcome thisfeeling and cause the patient totalk freely and fully. Other pa-tients are like the little brookand talk too funy and perhapstoo freely. Well directed ques-tions are probably our bestmeans of defense. Finally, theevaluation and summary of thefacts thus obtained completesone leg of our diagnostic stool.

Physical diagnosis is a very in-clusive term covering a largenumber of diagnostic procedures.However, the statement has beenmade that "not looking ratherthan not knowing" is responsiblefor most mistakes in diagnosis.A more or less routine method ofexamination for all patients withthe employment of special pro-cedures when indicated is themethod which will give tnesmallest percentage of .error.Common sense tells us that it isnot necessary to X-ray a patientwith acute tonsillitis; yet we maytreat a case of neuritis for weeksto have the condition improveonly after the A-raying and ex-traction of abcessed teeth. Otherspecial methods may be employedas indicated to complete the phy-

sical examination of each individ-ual case.

In laboratory work it seemsdifficult -to keep in the happymedium between the doctor whoconsiders laboratory work awaste of time and the technicianwho thinks diagnosis begins andends in the laboratory. Possiblyfor the experienced physician itis the least important of thethree methods we have discussedyet even for him it is invaluablein many cases and absolutelyconclusive in a few. Even thoughthe practitioner does, or hasdone, only the simpler proceduresin his office he must know theindications for the more elabor-ate tests ,the methods of collect-ing the specimen and the signi-ficance of the reports he receives.The Wasserman or Kahn test, theWidal and blood culture intyphoid, the estimation of bloodsugar in renal glycosuria are ex-amples of tests which the busypractitioner may have done andbenefit greatly thereby. Labora-tory reporLs are rarely final bythemselves but are valuable fac-tors in building a trm founda-tion for our diagnosis.

In reaching a diagnosis wemay utilize the above methods asfully as any other school of heal-ing and in addition use thestrictly osteopatnic findingswhich we may secure during ourexamination of the patient. Dueto the variations in the involun-tary nervous systems these find-ings may not be quite as valuablein diagnosis as in directing thetreatment. For example while agiven condition will usually pro-duce a spinal lesion in a givenarea or vice versa there arecases where an atypical lesionwill produce the same symptoms.The correction of this lesion re-lieves the symptoms but wouldbe misleading in diagnosis. How-ever, in most cases the spinalfindings play a very importantpart in helping us make ourdiagnosis. They furnish thefourth leg to our diagnosticstool and we can place our diag-nosis upon such a support know-ing that it can not be easily up-set by the next diagnostic passer-by.

To Be Well ShakenA prominent city man who is

as mean as he is wealthy, relatesan English paper, is fond of get-ting advice for nothing. Meetinghis doctor one day, he said tchim, "I'm on my way home, doc-tor, and I feel very seedy andwornout generally. What oughtI to take?"

"A taxi," was the curt reply.-Boston Transcript.

Mess of JunkDismal Patient: "Yes, doctor

my head is like a lump of leadmy neck's as stiff as a drainpipemy chest's like a furnace, and mlmuscles contract like bands oliron."

Doctor: "I'm not sure yotshouldn't have gone to the hardware dealer."-Good Hardware

A Keg of Wine

There is a story told of a coun-try village. Many years ago thecity fathers decided to have acertain celebration. In orderthat good fellowship and goodfeeling might prevail each invit-ed individual was requested tobring along a bottle of wine andto empty it in a cask at the dooras- they entered. At that partic-ular time and season wine wasrather scarce and consequentlyof great value. One enterprisingindividual conceived the ideathat he could fill his bottle withwater. He passed in, emptied itinto the keg with the rest of thewine. When the time arrivedand all the guests gatheredaround, the spigot was openedand nothing but water flowedforth. Each one had decidedthat his contribution would notbe missed and the cask wasfilled with water.

In connection with our StillCollege Endowment Fund, beingunderwritten by the Royal UnionLife Insurance Company, it ishoped, of course, that each andevery practising osteopathic phy-sician would promptly identifyhimself with the movement forthe benefit of the profession asa whole, but if each osteopathfeels that his participation in theplan will be more or less like thebottle of water emptied in thekeg, then you can readily seethat the progress of the Endow-ment plan will be extremelyhandicapped.

Life insurance is love triumph-ant. It lives because some manloves some woman, some littleboy, some little girl. Under theStill College policy each osteo-path himself receives the great-est benefit. Every member ofthe profession who has alreadysecured one o0 the contracts ismost enthusiastic. In a letterdated April 14, 1928, Dr. A. E.MacGilliard of Granite City, Ill.,says:

"Your insurance policy on mylife came this morning, and aftercarefully reading it I want to tellyou that I am very well pleasedwith the policy and wish thatevery osteopathic physician couldread one of them over, for if hedid he would want one."

Remember that the endow-ment for Still College is inci-dental to a personal life insur-ance policy. For instance, oneunit is $1,200.00 of liLe insur-ance. It pays to your wife orfi H niiltr n v-li7 r t.-dcq.t. in case of

leath $1,000.00 and Still Collegereceives a minimum of $200.

All this at age 30 for only$25.91 per year - just aboutwhat you pay for a $1,000.00policy in any old line company.

If you are in good health youcan privately and' convenientlysecure insurance in the Still Col-lege Group without the red tapeof a physical examination. Tellus to send you a questionnaire.Use the coupon attached hereto.

Cause of uost AppetiteProf. J. C. Drummond, well-

known vitamin specialist, and Dr.S. K. Kon of University College,London, have found that there isa close relationship between theamount of vitamin B in the dietand the total amount of foodtaken. Pigeons fed a diet ade-quate in all respects except thatit lacked vitamin B lost all ap-petite for the meals presented tothem. Another group of pigeonskept under observation as con-trols, fed as much food as theywanted along with an ample ra-tion of vitamin B, grew healthilyand retained normal appetite. Athird group, fed only the amountof food that the first group ac-tually ate plus a plentiful supplyof the vitamin in question,showed loss of weight due toslight starvation.

From their results, ProfessorDrummond and Dr. Kon con-cluded that tne loss of weightthat is always associated withlack of vitamin B is simplycaused by partial starvation; thepigeons lose their appetites andrefuse to eat the deficient food,and hence lose weight.

Since vitamin B occurs in onlyminute quantities in differentfoods, its presence becomes ofincreasing importance. Conse-quently, an elaborate study ofthis question has been taken inhand at the Chemical Depart-ment of St. Thomas' HospitalMedical School, London, by Dr.R. H. A. Plimmer and his col-leagues. They tested a numberof cereals by feeding them topigeons for a long period. Theyfound that none of the cerealsexamined contained such a richamount of vitamin B as driedyeast. Wheat, barley and ryecontained more vitamin B thanmaize or oats. 'Iiiese investigat-ors, like Professor Drummondand Dr. Kon, found that younganimals need more vitamin Bthan adults ,and that the firstimportant symptom is loss of ap-petite, which leads to loss ofwxvi pht Science News-Letter.

Another Round TripAt the invitation of three

groups the writer arranged foran assistant in the college so asto make the final round of con-ventions this school year.

Dr. Schoolcraft, who was inDes Moines on business con-sented to accompany us and atthe end of the trip to SiouxFalls, S- D., we were certainlyglad tohave someone to con-firm our findings in regard tothe activities of the Milwaukee.Leaving here at 1:20 a. m. witha load of vaudeville artists fromthe Orpheum, we were entertain-ed the early part of the trip bywhat appeared to be an attempton the part of the low comedyto break down the oppositionoffered by a pair of Japtumblers. The conclusion thatDr. Schoolcraft and myself cameto in the morning was that thecomedian won on falls, as noone except a Jap tumbler couldstand up or assume any desiredposition on the Milwaukee. Docsaid the next morning that hehad 37 new lesions in his spineand that it would break asnake's back to try to ride thattrain. If you are looking forcurves try it.

We arrived late in Sioux Fallsand after being settled in theCascade took a ride around townand out to a golf links thattakes you across the river 11times in the eighteen holes. Itis a wonderful club and all thatany keen golfer would desire.

Monday morning opened upwith a good showing and let ussay right here that South Da-kota has set a mark for you toshoot at. The state memberswere there 86% strong and itwas a good meeting from startto finish. Our past president,Dr. Gilmore, made two excellenttalks, Dr. George Laughlin wasin his usual form. We witnessedan excellent clinic with some ofthe unusual cases that often puz-zle us a good deal. We havenot heard where it will be nextyear but think from the trendof thought that it will be in theBlack Hills and you will all wantto go. Dr. Valier must havebeen schooled in California. Hegot started on the Black Hillsand we had to use dynamite tostop him. We are for you. Wesaw the Black Hills last sum-mer and they offer all you sayand then some.

We grabbed the I. C. for arun into Chicago and picked upthe "Pensy" there for Columbus.The big event on thisjump wasthe meeting with Tom Mix who


"Still" in OhioIt was good for any kind of

eye trouble to glance over themeeting at the Deshler Hotel inColumbus and see the familiarfaces that have passed throughthe mill at Still. At random andwithout a real check of thebunch, we thought of the follow-ing: Baker, Purdom, Elson,Weimers, Gebhart, Walker, Gra-ham, Sprague, Scatterday, Van-Ess, Siffling, Greig, Monger,Deitz, Clybourn, Lydig, Heckert,Grossman. We had a luncheonat some cafeteria, the Green MillI believe, and Elson carried offthe honors as he had to have twoof the waiters help him carry histray. Baker is recovering froma slight indisposition and will beout soon. Gus Weimers is sport-ing a blond hair-lip. Wally andAb looked happy. There was areport out that they had sleptin the park the night before butboth denied the story. Spragueand Scatterday took us aroundto see "Bake" and left us at theUnion station trying to boardthe N. Y. Central. We just hadtime to catch a taxi and makeit to the Broad street station andhop the train. It was notSprague's fault. I gave him thewrong tip. Van Ess has quiteating gravy. Van looks like hehad had enough for a while any-way. Siffling says he hasn'tmuch time to fiddle. We hopehe does not give it up. Greigonce played with B. A. Rolfe.We were glad to know of thiscontact. Deitz and Munger to-gether for a change. Both seemto have lost a little in weight.Try to separate ham and eggs.Si and Lydig slipped by me butI know that they were there.Heckert still sports the littledark eyebrow. Gene Grossmancomplains of being busy in Cleve-land. All wanted to know aboutthe new place and how thingswere going and also all will beback here next year when theA. O. A. meets in Des Moines.You fellows will see a lot moreof the gang that want to see forthemselves the big improvementthe college has made.

Stillonian DayFriday, May 18th, has been

designated Stillonian Day. Thisis the day that the Stillonian,our Year Book, is issued. Theassembly will be turned over tothe Stillonian Staff who willhave charge of the various exer-cises and the passing out of theStillonians.

In the afternoon, the FacultyBaseball Team will play the vic-tors of the Fraternity-Non-Fraternity series, who by theway, are the boys from thehouse of Iota Tau Sigma. Thisevent is always of great inter-est to the onlookers from sev-eral points of view.

At 8:30 p. m. the StillonianDay Dance, sponsored by theSigm Sigmsa Phi fraternity, willbe held at the Hoyt-ShermanPlace. The music will be rend-ered by the "Romancers" whoplayed for the Junior-SeniorProm at the Commodore Hotel.

Everybody is bound to haveone grand time on this day as itis practically the last day ofclasses, and the function the lastof the college functions exceptgraduation, until next fall.

Osteopathy As aProfession

By DR. S. L. TAYLORBy a profession, we mean the

direction of our forces on cer-tain lines. There are two ele-ments involved in the word pro-fession. First the mental, sec-ond the physical. In a profes-sion the mental predominatesthe physical. In a trade the phy-sical is the more active and pre-dominates. The primary ques-tion which every man ought toput to himself is which elementof his nature does he wish tocultivate to ascendency.

Nature has already solved thisproblem for many young menby far overbalancing them in thedirection of the physical. Theirphysical element is often superb,but their mental element is de-ficient. In such cases ordinar-ily it is evident, even to the in-

Congratulations Iota TauSigma. We enjoyed our visit onyour open day.

How to Prevent Studentsfrom Cheating on Exams

Each student should be thor-oughly examined at entrance ofexamination room by detectives.All notes, books, writing onhands and cuffs should be re-moved. Students should betreated with a special mind-raymachine to remove all possiblethoughts of cheating. Studentsshould be taken into a room,single file escorted by policearmed with tear gas, riot guns,etc., to prevent any possible re-bellion.

Only one student should siton a seat, with obstructions onthree sides and only straight-ahead view of questions onboard. Sensitive detectors shouldbe stationed at various points inroom to catch slightest murmors,and two teachers, one on eachside, should be stationed in seatwith each pupil. Pencil andpaper used will have been thor-oughly examined beforehand.Students should be hustled homein closed cars to prevent anypossible spreading of the natureof the exam taken.-Lo-Life.

Etiquette is a form of conductwhich, if carefully learned, willenable one to conceal the absenceof natural good manners.

To spend my time in dancing Iconsider utter waste of it,

And as for petting, why, I'venever even had a taste of it,

I never ride in autos; I'm averseto their rapidity;

I seldom read the newspapers, Iquestion their validity.

I disapprove of bridge; in fact,I'm utterly opposed to it,

My personal engagement book isabsolutely closed to it.

You ask me where I keep myselfin this broadminded century?

I'm serving a life sentence in thelocal penitentiary!

FarewellThis is the time' of year when

the editorship of The Log Bookchanges hands. So it behoovesthe present incumbent to makehis fare-thee-well.

It is with much regret, thoughsome relief, that I relinquish thewheel of our good ship, The LogBook. There has been much ofwork, and much of pleasure inmy association with those whohave contributed to our col-umns; with the printers, whoget the paper out, and last butnot least, I have enjoyed the fewletters of criticism and praisethat have been sent.

My successor, Raymond Kale,is a senior of much literary abil-ity. He has many ideas and will,I am sure, instill a new life andpep into the pages of The LogBook, whose readers are to becongratulated upon their goodfortune.

May all success be the lot ofRay Kale. I am sure that allwill be satisfied.

A Noble Quadruped

*

*

*

*

The following composition waswritten by a Bombay high schoolstudent and appears in Sher-wood Eddy's book, "India Awak-ening":

"The horse is a very noblequadruped, but whenhe is angryhe will not do so. He is riddenon the spinal cord by the bridle,and sadly the driver places hisfoots on the stirrups and di-vides his lower limbs across thesaddle, and drives his animal tothe meadow. He has a longmouth, and his head is attachedto his trunk by a long protuber-ance called the neck. He hasfour legs; two are in the frontside and two afterward. Theseare the weapons on which heruns and also defends himself byextending those in the rear in aparallel direction toward his foe.But this he does only when in avexatious mood. His food is gen-erally grasses and grains. Hehas power to run as fast as hecould. Also there are horses ofshort sizes. They do the same asthe others are generally doing.They have got tail, but not solong as the cow and other suchlike animals."

Unexplainable FatigueMay Have Many Causes

BY EDNA KENT FORBEScFatigue which you can't ex-

Diet and tonics and medicinesare good for the first of theseailments, and a good doctormedical or osteopathic can curecases of prolapsis without surg-ery. A good osteopath can dowonders for you, too, if you haveinexplicable aches and pains.And nowadays the prejudiceagainst this form of health giv-

ing is dying out, many doctorshave taken up osteopathy fortroubles that medicine won'tcure and which surgery eithercan't help, or makes the curingtoo long and expensive a process.Many osteopaths are also gradu-ate doctors and all know a lotabout medicine. Once theyclaimed osteopathy cured every-thing, but I think many nowsend patients to medical doctorsor even to surgeons where thatform of cure is easiest and leastexpensive.

The nerves center in thespine. Should a bone be slightlyout of place and few of us havereally perfect spinal columns-pressure against a set of nervescentered near it can cause any-thing from mild indigestion toparalysis. Manipulation of themuscles and tendons around thispart, a general "loosening" ofthe spine, bringing blood to it,clearing congestion, and so on, ispart of the osteopath's work. Ithink a good osteopath can dowonders to help a delicate ma-turing girl over a trying periodof her life, for instance. Osteo-pathy can be magical in its goodeffects on liver troubles andcases of chronic indigestion andconstipation that will not yieldto diet and medicines. Besidesclearing up backaches and head-aches and making the complex-ion better and the eyes brighterand the whole mind clearer as aresult of increased health. DesMoines Register.

Rickets in BirdsFeathers may be still another

source or the much-discussedantirachitic vitamin D. Hawksand owls raised by Dr. WilliamRowan, of the University of Al-berta, Canada, in captivity andfed on "livers and lights" fromthe butcher shop developed rick-ets and in many cases died be-fore reaching maturity. His ex-periments are reported in Nature.Two young owls, however, thathad been fed mice and sparrowsalmost exclusively, were not af-fected. This suggested the addi-tion of chicken heads with feath-ers and an occasional sparrow tothe menu of the rest of the sur-vivors. Thereafter rickets ceasedto give trouble.

The preen gland of the do-mestic fowl, Dr. Rowan pointsout, is known to be a rich sourceof cholesterol, one of the parentsubstances of vitamin D, a condi-tion that may apply to featheroil. As further evidence for hissuggestion, he cited the case of amerlin under his observation sev-eral years ago that fed her off-spring on birds thaL were pickedbefore they were brought to theeyrie. Only occasionally did shebring home a victim with thefeathers still on, from which shefed the young birds mouthfuls offeathers only. Her offspring ap-parently objected to the "dose"because it had to be thrust welldown their throats before itwould go aown.

"Possibly," said Dr. Rowan,"it is true that there is nothingnew under tne sun, and we mayhere be witnessing a crude meth-od of administering the antira-chitic vitamin D that has, nodoubt, been in practice for count-less centuries."-(Science).

Tom was some-what indisposed but did shakehands and promised us a picture.There must have been sevenmillion kids at the train in Co-lumous to meet Tom so it waswith considerable difficulty thatwe finally landed at the Deshler.

The Ohio meeting was well at-tended and from the talk, wasa success. The main issue waslegislation and in order to short-en what would have been a longdrawn out discussion they tookthe easy route and passed thebuck to the trustees. The Ohiosituation will have to bewatched. Its solution may do usa great harm or a great good.We will have more to say aboutit in our next issue. It wasgratifying to meet again manyof the old gang and to note thatregardless of the restrictionsthey are having to suffer in thestate, they seem to be gettingalong well.

From Columbus we jumpedto Flint, Mich. The local groupled by Jeff Still booked us for ameeting in Dr. Tracy's office inthe p. m. and held a big get-to-gether banquet in the evening.We have never had a more at-tentive audience than the onethat evening and those of uswho do a little talking now andthen surely appreciate such.Again it was a pleasure to meetold friends and to know thatsome of our former students aretaking the lead in things thatare for the good of the profes-sion in this state. Sorry that wehad to hurry away but we hadto run along and after a brieftop in Chicago, at which time we

Osteopathy As aProfession

(Continued from page 1)dividual concerned, that hisforces should be directed to-wards the professions.

While Nature has so inexor-ably settled this question formany, she has failed to do sofor the great majority andtherefore to this latter classcomes the inestimable privilegeand grave responsibility ofchoosing a profession. It is thatdelightfully pleasing momentand opportunity of meeting theissue. All true men welcome it.How essential it is, therefore,that this choice shall be a de-liberate one. The whole futuredepends upon it. Almost anychoice may weather the first fewyears of life when ever very im-portant matters are screened byyouthful enthusiasm and themore serious affairs of men arenot so clearly defined; but whenthe verities of life are confront-ed, when the obligations of hu-man relations are to be met,then it is that men falter andare undecided and ofttimes losetheir interest in the professionwhich they have chosen and inwhich they have given the bestof their lives.

This is a tragedy, and has itssettings on many stages, and it,pathos deepens with the addecyears. Notwithstanding the factthat the mental element predominates in the professional lifestill it is necessarily grounderupon the physical state of thEindividual. When the naturaphysical energies begin to waneit is too late, ordinarily, t(choose one of the learned professions, for mental activitiesare a great strain upon the bod:and such persistent processeshould be supported by the recuperative powers of youth.

How naturally it followsthen, that an early professionachoice is highly desirable; an(this is especially so since it takea long life of preparation an(practice to acquire an adequatknowledge and skill to measurup to the high degree of efficiency demanded of professionsmen. It is one of the lameniable observations of the presenday that too many men imaginthat a two or three or five year:preparation for entrance intsome field of activity is a firished education and that the r<mainder of their lives is simplputting into application thknowledge which they have aready acquired. These men aistatic from the moment they eiter professional life. So farthey are concerned it makes ndifference whether they ha-many or few years before thenthey make no progress.

If th<are preachers they are dogmtists, if they are osteopaths theare wholly specific lesionists ar

if medics they are wholly scien-tific therapeutists. They arepeople who know. They knowbecause their knowledge is solittle they do not recognizeantithesis. They only see oneside of the question. They aresimply fanatics or pseudo-scientists.

In making an early choice ofprofessional life, everything is inone's favor. There is youth,energy, years, enthusiasm and alaudable curiosity, all of whichsurge and impel one onward, for-ever in the lines of progress.

One may have his likes anddislikes, one may have his am-bitions, one doubtless has, forhis highest interests he must de-cide now, for his mental andphysical forces are either har-nessed and directed or they areleft to run riot and to be dissi-pated or weakened by the in-dulgence and the misdirection ofthe sensual influences of humannature, not only that, but addedyears say the recuperative pow-ers and consequently diminishesthe energies for application orshortens the time for repetitionwhich is so essential to the ac-quirement of adequate knowl-edge and skill.

Osteopathy asal system is simply a radical pr,r- test against the unnatural, tts. useless and the harmful in tlve old medical systems. It emphk-sizes the natural forces of therey peutics. It never leaves tha- field of service and we speak (ey it, therefore, as the scienceidosteopathy.

Medicine is at best an artifi-cial method of treating diseases.It is putting into the system sub-stances which are for the mostwholly incompatible with the tis-sues of the body and is alwaysadministered when a man is sick;in other words,, when the tissuesare engaged in a death strug-gle with disease and least ableto bear it. Not only is thattrue, but medicine is also worth-less with the exception of thefew analgesics, anesthetics, afew home remedies and four orfive specifics. This is a severe,yet true, arraignment of theoldest system of practice knownto man.

The world has been friendlyto medicine. It has taken it andbelieved in it and donatedmoney to a thousand sorts ofinstitutions to perpetuate it.Even today, almost the entireworld is being taxed to buildhospitals and schools in whichto teach and practice it. Itwould, therefore, be unfair tosay that the increasing unbeliefin medicine and the markeddiminution in its practice is inany sense due to wild and un-

-founded propaganda against it.The least that can be said is thatpeople have just begun to arouse

i themselves from the long spellof drug therapy which has heldthem body and soul for the many

I centuries.In contrast what can be said

e of osteopathy? It has beeni practiced for many years. Itss inception, its development andits practice has met with they most hostile opposition. Many

attempts have been made to out-elaw it and in some few statesf the opposition has been reward-r ed by a temporary success. Ine every instance, however, the- battle has grown warmer and

since I am now considerin

osteopathy as a profession.Every man must give this fea-ture of any profession some con-sideration if he contemplates en-tering the field. I don't knowof a single profession which onecan enter without means inwhich one can more quickly es-tablish his credit. This hasbeen done in so many instancesand, seemingly, so almost uni-versally that to enter the prac-tice of osteopathy is to be as-sured of success.

This is of no small considera-tion, for the future almost sure-ly brings family responsibilitiesand educational demands. Ifone can follow his professionand keep his credit and meetthe demands made upon him, hewill be happy. If he cannotmeet his obligations he certain-ly cannot keep his credit and itwould not be honorable in himto stay in a profession in whichhe cannot support his familyand maintain his social stand-ing in the community in whichhe has cast his fortunes. Themarvelous success of the practi-tioners of osteopathy bespeaksmore eloquently than anythingelse the virtues of osteopathy asa system of therapeutics.

The one thing every man mustbear in mind in choosing hisprofession is, what is the out-look? Is the field limited?Does it lead into a blind alley?Everyone has seen such busi-ness and almost every commun-ity affords some examples of oldmen who were following, for in-stance, certain trades which byreason of modern developmentsand inventions have been thrownout of their lifetime employ-

-ment. Every community affordsother examples of men of abil-ity having gone up in their par-ticular lines to the top, but

s when they reached the peak ofthat business they have neither

-fortune nor further opportunitys for development. The inevitable- result of this misfortune is stasis

-mental and physical. If thereis any one thing which is ai nightmare to the real, virile and- active young mind, it is limita-- tion. Osteopathy without limita-etions is the slogan of the profes-s: sion. If one wants to practice- surgery, what better prepara-t tion can he get than that obtain-- able in a good osteopathico school? The same is true of

obstetrics and gynecology ande any of the specialties of the pro-t fession. As yet there are butg few good surgeons and special-w ists in the practice of osteo-e pathy. The field is open and un-d limited and many communitiesi- are now calling for men of abil-L. ity to take these places. Osteo-1- pathy has no blind alleys. Itn sets no limitations on men's am-ct bition. Its boundaries are ase limitless as men's activities. Ita- fills an increasing demand in ay field where other systems ofIt therapeutics have failed. It af-y fords hope to millions of suffer-o ing humanity. It gives mentalrsfreedom from drug thralldomn and inculcates the natural suffi-ie ciency of body tissues to disease.I Young men and young ladiessoyou can do no better than choose

osteopathy as a profession.

GraduationThe class of May, 1928,

brought their course in the studyof Osteopathy to a close on theevening of May 24th, when thedegree, "Doctor of Osteopathy"was conferred upon them by Dr.C. W. Johnson, the president ofDes Moines Still College of Os-teopathy.

Twenty-seven members of theSenior class of Des Moines StillCollege marched to the platformof the Hoyt Sherman Place asLeonard Kirkwood played theprocessional march. The hallwell filled with parents andfriends, was very quiet untilthat moment when all were as-sembled and then a great ap-plause broke forth. The invoca-tion by Dr. M. E. Bachmen wasfollowed by two very pleasingvocal solos by Miss Marjorie Gil-lam who was accompanied at thepiano by Mr. Kirkwood.

The address of the occasionwas given by Dr. L. Myron Boos-er of the Presbyterian CollegiateChurch of Ames. During his ad-dress he stressed the idea tha,a doctor should keep himself se-cure from the material tempta-tions of life and avoid thetendency of the professional manto capitalize his skill. Continu-ing he stated that every doctorshould have a philosophy of life


Senior BanquetThe annual Faculty-Senior

banquet was held at the YounkeiTea Room Thursday, May 17that 6:30 p. m. A most delight-ful dinner was provided and theappearance of the table provedthat none of the faculty were ofScotch ancestry.

The table was very cleverlydecorated in the class colors.

Dr. Robert Bachman was theable toastmaster and told of theability of the various membersof the faculty and especially ofDr. J. P. Schwartz, who as avery fine surgeon even removedthe appendix from his Anatomybook.

Dr. Virge Halladay gave abrief summary of the variousOsteopathic schools as he foundthem during his travels east-ward. He later demonstratedhis second spine.

Edgar Hubbell gave the classhistory and as the other speakershad forgotten to say anythingabout Dr. Bachman he told avery interesting story of hiscareer while in school.

It came as a delightfulsurprise to the entire studentbody and the graduating class iscertainly to be commended fortheir foresight. The clock is awhite Telechron electric, whichadds much to the appearance ofthe waiting room and certainlyis advantageous to the studentsas well as the patients. We thankthe class of '28 for this gift tothe school.

Stillonian DayThe last assembly of the year

was a combination of StillonianDay and Senior Class Day. Thethird period of the day the en-tire student body and many visit-ors gathered in the AssemblyHall on the fifth floor. A pre-liminary program opened the as-sembly and this was followed bythe reading of the "last will andtestament," by G. O. Smith ofthe class of May, '28. It wasfilled with many amusing inci-dents and the assembly was in aroar of laughter most of thetime.

This part of the program wascut short by the arrival of theStillonians for everyone wasanxious to secure their copy andso the rest of the day wasturned over to be celebrated asStllionian Day. The staff haddevised a very clever way of giv-ing out the cards in the assem-bly room and then the bookswere secured at the Log Bookroom on the third floor and soall confusion was avoided.

The baseball game was calledoff on account of the impossibil-ity of playing on a wet field.School was adjourned for therest of the day.

The Stillonian Day Dancewhich was held at the Hoyt Sher-man Place was the main eventof the evening following thevarious organization banquetsand meetings. The "Romancers"furnished the music for the oc-casion and it was one of thefinest dances that has been heldthis year. The baseball cham-pionship cup was awarded toIota Tau Sigma fraternity andthe H. V. Halladay Golf Medalto M. V. Hydeman, the winnerof this year's golf tournamentduring intermission. The dancewas very well attended and allthat were there had an excep-tionally fine time. The "HomeWaltz" brought the day to aclose and Stillonian Day of1928.

Dallas Osteos EntertainDr. John P. Schwartz, chief

surgeon of the Des Moines Col-lege of Osteopathy, was honoredby Dallas osteopaths with abreakfast Sunday morning at theJefferson Hotel. He stopped inthe city on his way to the annualconvention of the Texas Osteo-pathic Association which openedwith a banquet Sunday night atMineral Wells. Thirty attendedthe breakfast.

While in the city Dr. Schwartzwas the guest of Dr. H. K. Mc-Dowell and Dr. Celia McDowell.He left after lunch for MineralWells.

You field men arethe ones who come in contactwith the young life of your com-munity and you are in a positionto talk to many, so with yourhelp, your loyalty to Des MoinesStill College we can grow evenbeyond our hopes. Our newbuilding located in the heartof the city gives exceptional ad-vantages to those who find itnecessary to work. An unsur-passable clinic and a faculty ofwhich everyone is a specialistin their subject assures us thatOsteopathy is taught in its finestsense.

The Atlas Club pried the lidoff the Interfraternity baseballleague by defeating the PhiSigma Gammas to the tune of12 to 3. Dornbush and Wardcomprised the Atlas batterywhile Weldon tailed for the PhiSigma Gammas, with F. Shaef-fer on the receiving end. Dorn-bush also proved to be the hit-ting star of the game by polingout a home run on his first tripto the plate and followed withsingles on his next two attempts.Weldon and Dornbush bothpitched a nice game, the formerallowing nine hits and the latteronly four, however Weldon'ssupport was rather erratic, andwas guilty of six errors. Taylorproved to be the fielding star ofthe game.

The second game proved to bea close and exciting game be-tween the Non-Frats and theIota Tau Sigmas, and was playedunder very unfavorable weatherconditions. The game ended ina deadlock of three all after sixinnings of play. Ross and Langperformed on the mound for theIota Tau Sigmas while Baldiworked for the Non-Frats.

Further, a doctor can-not settle down, but he must con-tinue to grow, he cannot be nar-row in his science but should al-ways work for the good of hispatients. In closing he said thatthe doctor had it within hispower to bring a new and finerunderstanding of life to his pa-tients-he should be a true ser-vant of God and a true servantof man.

Miss Marjorie Gillam againdelighted the audience with sev-eral solos after which Dr. J. P.Schwartz presented. the graduat-ing class to Dr. C. W. Johnson,president of the college, whoconferred the degree of "Doctorof Osteopathy' upon the class.The diplomas and special de-grees were then presented.

Hospital for Niles, 0.,Assured

Through the efforts of theBoard of Trade of Niles and Dr.H. E. Elston, who is a memberof the board of trade, Niles is tohave its long desired hospital.It will be under the managementof Mrs. Caroline Mahood, a grad-uate nurse who received hertraining at the Allegheny Gen-eral hospital, Pittsburgh.

The location will be one of thelargest private homes in Niles,the E. A. Gilbert home at 611North Main, which will be re-modeled and ready for occu-pancy in six or eight weeks.

The building will have 15 pri-vate rooms for patients and oneward which will have six beds.It will be completely equippedfor emergency cases, maternitycases, and general cases. Localmedical and osteopathic phy-sicians unanimously have ex-pressed their enthusiasm andagreement to co-operate and it ishoped to make the Niles hospitalone of the most efficient of itssize in the state.

This accomplishment is notsomebody's snap judgment, butthe result of month's of effort inwhich many details had to beironed out. Considering themany years during which a hos-pital has been wanted in Nilesthe community undoubtedly willgreet the achievement with en-thusiasm and give it a heartysupport.

Deceased

The Osteopathic profession inOntario has suffered a severeloss in the passing of one of itsmost beloved members, Dr. Rob-ert Newton Pincock of St. Cath-arines, Ont., who died on Friday,May 11th. of nephritis.

Dr. Pincock was born in 1882,and prior to studying Osteo-pathy was a civil engineer. Hegraduated in 1917 from the DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy, and established himselfin practice in St. Catharines. Hewas a member of the Iota TauSigma fraternity.

His genial disposition and lov-able nature won for him a hostof friends, and his conscientiousand painstaking work built upfor him a large and successfulpractice.

Unfortunately he was not ro-bust, and during the last fewyears, as his practice increased,his health decreased. His pa-tients invariably spoke well ofhim, as also did his fellow prac-titioners, by whom he wasgreatly respected.

His passing is a severe blow

Iowa ConventionThe 30th annual convention of

the Iowa Society of OsteopathicPhysicians and Surgeons met atthe Hotel Fort Des Moines, DesMoines, Iowa, May 24-25, 1928.

The program chairman, Dr.Rolla Hook, did himself proudfor there never was a bigger andbetter program presented to astate convention. The conven-tion was called to order Thurs-day morning at 9:30 and the in-vocation given by Dr. M. E.Bachman. Mr. George Hamiltonof the Chamber of Commercegave the address of welcome forthe city of Des*Moines and Dr.H. J. Marshall for the professionof the city. These were re-sponded to by Dr. Rolla Hook.

The president, Dr. C. N.Stryker then gave his addressand if the profession of Iowawill follow his suggestions forthe future, Osteopathy in thisstate will advance many times.As president for the past twoyears, Dr. Stryker has donemuch when one considers thedifficult times through which heserved.

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, Surgeon-in-Chief of the Des Moines Gen-eral Hospital then gave a splen-did talk on "Peptic Ulcer." Sogood was Dr. Schwartz's talkthat when it announced that Dr.George Laughlin could not be onthe program that morning, Dr.Schwartz was asked to continuehis talk and discussion on "Pep-tic Ulcer" for another hour andit was an hour well spent.

We then adjourned for lunchto meet again at 1:15. For thepreliminary_ b-usin ess session at1:45 the Hon. Henry E. Samp-son, General Counsel for theProfessional Insurance Corpora-tion gave us a most instructivetalk on "Legal Hazards inPractice."

Dr. Della B. Caldwell then en-lightened us on "The Opportun-ity of the 0. W. N. A.." and Ithink most of us men little real-ized what the women of our pro-fession are doing for Osteopathy.

Dr. J. L. Schwartz then gaveus a splendid paper on "OrficialPhilosophy in General Practice."This is work we should pay moreattention to.

In the evening all the phy-sicians attending the conventionwere invited to attend the grad-uation exercises of the 1928 classof the Des Moines Still Collegeat Hoyt Sherman Place.

Friday morning there was abusiness session at which timeDr. R. B. Gilmour was electedpresident for the coming year,

Registration

The Freshman class of thecoming school year looks asthough it will be a recordbreaker as far as we can judgeof those who are sending in theirnames and others who are mak-ing inquiries as to when theschool year opens. The office iswell pleased and are workinghard to care for all the detailedinformation that is necessary.Those desiring any informationin this regard will be taken careof as quickly as possible andshould address all their mail tothe secretary of Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy, 722 6thAve., Des Moines, Iowa.

New CatalogThe Catalog of Des Moines

Still College of Osteopathy isnow available to all that are in-terested in the school either as aprospective student or as a fieldmember who desires to securesame to interest new students inthe college.

The book is most complete inevery way, containing a full pic-ture of the new building, pic-tures of every department of theschool and a diagram of the in-terior of the building. It alsocontains pictures of .the _varionusfraternity houses of the institu-tion.

A short write-up on the his-tory of the college is given andthis furnishes interesting dataconcerning the school. A list ofthe entrance and graduation re-quirements are listed followed bythe rules and regulations of theschool. A schedule of the classeswith a most complete descriptionof each department, what istaught in each department and adescription of the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital complete thebook.

It is without a doubt a valu-able book to the field doctor insecuring new students and to thenew students too that they maygain a better knowledge of theschool that takes its rightfulplace as leader in the teachingof Osteopathy in its truest sense.

Were it not for lowered re-sistance, disease would soon be-come an unknown quantity.

DissectionA few days after the doors

closed on another school year anotice appeared on the board tothe effect that the summer classin dissection would start on Fri-day. Previous to this announce-ment there had been a call madein assembly and later a sheetwas posted for those who desiredto take the summer course indissection to register. The mostsurprising thing was the num-ber that signed as it was aboveall expectations. There wereclose to seventy-five that signedbut when roll was called in thedissection room it was foundthat many could not resist thecall of home and those in variousports.

Dr. H. V. Halladay, head ofthe anatomy department, hascharge of dissection. Work wasstarted at once and all assign-ments were made so that thosewho stayed knew that they werethere for business. There areover fifty taking the summercourse and with Dr. Halladay incharge we are assured of a mostthorough and complete course.

The class proves to be a regu-lar dissection gang and dailythe passers-by can hear the chantof melodious melodies (?) Theyare getting in good practice forthe Fourth of July for Dr. Halla-day promises them all that theywill be able to go home and cele-brate the Fourth.

Married

The marriage of Dr. W. E.Russell, of the Class of May andMiss Helen Cissna took place atthe home of the bride Saturday,June 2. To them we extend ourbest wishes and congratulations.

Dr. Mabel F. Martin of theclass of 1923 and Mr. T. A.Gwillim were united in marriageon January 22, 1928, at herhome in Weslaco, Texas. Wesend our congratulations andwishes for happiness.

Summer Clinic

The clinic for the year 1928opened May 28 with an enroll-ment of thirty-two students whoremained at the college for spec-ial summer clinic and its advan-tages in the different cases thatcome before the summer session.There is a great variety of caseson each clinic day including bothacute and chronic types. Manyexceptionally rare cases havecome before the group to be ex-amined and each day has beenone filled to capacity, in fact itis often necessary to ask them toreport the next day as it is im-possible to care for them in the'time alloted to the examinations.

Plans for a change of routineare now under way whereby thepatient is first assigned to a stu-dent who makes all preliminaryexaminations and secures a com-plete case history. The patientis then asked to report the fol-lowing day at which time thestudent is able to make a reportof his findings to the studentbody and to the examining phy-sician. The examining physicianthen checks over the case, know-ing the laboratory findings andgives the Diagnosis, Prognosisand Treatment. This method willeliminate much otherwise wastedtime and will bring out pointsthat are valuable aids in diag-nosis that the patient would nottell before the students in theclinic room.

New clinic sheets that aremore complete in every import-ant detail are being planned andwill be ready for use soon. Thesexwill show all physical andstructural changes, completefindings of analysis, all heartconditions, reflexes, etc., makinga most complete and thoroughexamination in every way. Arecord of the progress of thecase will be kept by the studentand will add greatly to his in-terest in the case.

This promises to be one of thelargest in the number of cases,variety and treatments given ofany summer clinic in the historyof Des Moines Still College.Assistant Clinician, R. A. Lypps.

Gorgas Idea"As a part of its work in

carrying out the Gorgas idea ofpersonal health, a phase of ourcampaign is to urge people toobtain an annual health exam-ination from their family phy-sician. Many dangerous diseasescan be reached and controlled inthis manner and the annualdeath rate thus lowered."

The causes of premature deathamong the middle-aged, placeworry first as a prime factor.Worry does two things; it de-presses vitality by opening theroad to disease; and it predis-poses to failure. The worriedman is a fearful man; he hasself-doubt, and often what thepsychologists call an inferioritycomplex follows. With the vastmajority of men, it is as it waswith the warrior who, on his pre-mature death-bed, observed tohis physician: "I have hadmany troubles, but most of themnever happened." Economicpressure must plead guilty forthe high death-rate of the middleaged in that it has made hardwork and long and arduoushours necessary for the major-ity. High pressure consumes thevital forces of a man. To livestrenuously, which is the ideal ofthe times, is to burn out prema-turely. Akin to the foregoingcause must be reckoned the de-pressing and thus devitalizing in-fluences of failure. Men withoutmental or spiritual resiliance docasts them down; and it keepsthem down. The secondarycauses of the soaring death-rateof the middle-aged are physical.Civilization has put into thehands of men many exotic pleas-ures. They are safe enough forthe wise; but they are pitfallsfor the weak. The best andgreatest factors towards long lifeare high aims and the develop-ment of the capacity for love.There are many instances wherelove has shielded the waveringflame of life from the cold blastsof pursuing death.

"That Something"

In the next issue of The LogBook the first part of a contin-ued story called "That Some-thing" will appear. It is wellworth every reader's time to se-cure each copy of The Log Book,so that you will not miss a partof it, and read and ponder for awhile.

Ultraviolet Ray Enemyof Germs

That the rays of the sun havea very definite therapeutic valueis common knowledge. That thisis due to the presence of ultra-violet rays, and that these raysare at once a great curativeagent and a decidedly seriousmenace is not quite so wellknown.

Practically all of the danger-ous common germs may be killedby direct exposure to ultra-violetrays. The infantile disease, rick-ets, practically is unknown in tiletropics where the suns' rays aresufficient to provide plenty ofultra-violet: that the disease iscommon in northern areas wherechildren do not receive ultra-violet. He continues:

"In our large cities sufficientsunlight to prevent rickets comesthrough only during the hoursfrom twelve to two, and thenonly during the summer months.The ultra-violet rays do not passthrough window glass unless itis very thin or specially pre-pared. Therefore special typesof glass have been providedwhich will permit passage of thesun's rays. But if there are notenough rays to get any effectswhy provide the glass? Perhapseven the little that does getthrough may be worth while.Then too, there are advantagesin the heat rays and in the light,and these things come throughany type of glass.

"The effects of ultra-violetrays on general health have al-ready been mentioned. Theyseem to have certain well-established powers in relation tonervous tissue and to nervoussymptoms. They are known toaccomplish definite effects ontuberculosis glands, on tubercu-losis joints, and on tuberculosisinfections of the superficial por-tions of the body generally. In-deed, experiments made uponrats indicate that regular ex-posure to ultra-violet rays maybe of value in building up re-sistance against infections of thebreathing apparatus, includingthe lungs, sinuses, nose andthroat. Some diseases of theskin seem to respond definitelyto ultra-violet radiation. Theaction of the ray in stimulatingdifferentiation and growth of tis-sues has been used as an argu-ment for their use in causing thegrowth of hair on bald heads."

From the FieldA very interesting letter

comes from Dr. Mabel M. Gwil-lim, formerly Dr. Mabel F. Mar-tin, of Weslaco, Texas. She wasmarried on Jan. 22 to Mr. T. A.Gwillim. Congratulations. Shehas lost track of some of her oldclassmates and would like to getin touch with them.

Legislative ProgressThose of us in the college

game look with interest on thevarious legislative programs asthey are announced or as our at-tention is called forcibly to themby letters from some legislativecommittee. We try to analyzethese progressive attempts guess-ing as to the probable effect onfirst, those who will study Oste-opathy in the next twenty-fiveyears and second, those who arein active practice in the commun-ity. So far we have not seen anylegislation that was primarily in-stituted to encourage young menand women to study our science.Legislation is put across with oneidea in mind only and that is topermit the individual practit-ioner to do as he pleases. A gooddeal has been said and writtenabout the subject and as perhapsin this case, by those who knowvery little about it. But here isthe point-How do you apply theword "progress."

If we expect the Osteopathicprofession to progress one thingwe know must happen is an in-crease in numbers. We cannotgain strength by reducing ournumbers even though everygraduate had several college oruniversity degrees. In order togain this much needed strengthwe should keep our preliminarydown to a sane level. Some ofour states are worth nothing tothe colleges if we figure the pos-sibility of securing students fromthat state in any number. Thenby the same sign that state isworth little to the profession forit is not producing Osteopaths.Progress in legislation should ac-complish two things. It shouldgive to the Osteopath those priv-ileges that he is entitled to re-ceive. An Osteopath should bepermitted to practice Osteopathyas it is taught in all qualifiedOsteopathic colleges. This sameprogress should encourage ouryoung people to take up the'study of Osteopathy in prefer-ence to the study of Medicine.Now, have we any legislationwritten with the two ideas inmind? To be absolutely frankabout the question the most ofour-so-called progressive legisla-tion has resulted in reducing thenumber of students from thesestates.

Every one of our recognizedcolleges is asking for more stu-dents. In your state there aremany boys and girls that havejust now completed their coursein the local high school. Howmany of these boys and girls canstep into an Osteopathic Collegeland begin the work and at the

The Summer Clinic Seasonopened with t he State Conven-tion Clinic, May 22nd. DuringConvention week we did twenty-two major operations and somefifty minor operations. Many ofthe Field Doctors took advantageof the Diagnostic clinic, and anumber of patients were sent infor complete examination. Wefeel well paid for the effort madeby our staff to take care of theextra work, as the letters of sat-isfaction received have been verygratifying.

The Minor Surgical clinic hasbeen running way in advance ofprevious years, and without adoubt this year will establish a

Summer Dissection Ends

The summer course in dissec-tion is finished and most of theclass have returned to theirhomes in the various parts ofthe country. Due to the factthat summer clinic is large manyhowever decided to stay and takeadvantage of the possibility offinishing their treatments.

The past class in summer dis-section was the largest in thehistory of the school and underthe able direction of Dr. H. V.Halladay some, excellent work indissection was accomplished. Thelast couple weeks he devoted toa very fine review course in theform of quizzing over the entirecourse, in addition to the dailydissection work.

Why Not Write

Many inquiries come into theoffice in regard to the location ofthe graduates of the college.Some want to know the addressand others want to know howthey are getting along.

Now if the alumni will dropus a line and give us their cor-rect address and tell us allabout their successes we will beable to answer all the questions.

We especiall-y watrt- to- hear.from the recent graduates thathave not written. Tell us whereyou are located and what you aredoing.

Don't wait, but take a fewminutes now so we at least willknow where you are and whatyou are doing in Osteopathy.

THE BUILDERBY GERRIT A. BENEKER

I am the Builder; on my throneOf iron and wood and steel and stone,I stand the Builder, but not alone:-In God's own image, frown God's own planFrom common clay, He built Me, Man.From common clay, He raised the banThat I might live-but not alone.

From God's own earth I scoop the ore,The coal I mine, the rock I bore,The lightning's flash from the air I store:This clay fuse I-with fire to mockThe Ancient Gods; their temples rock,Crash back to earth; tongues interlockTo build no Babel as of yore.

Where once a hillock was but small,I build the city towering tall,The peasant's hut, the marble hall:-With men from many a foreign strand,I build with heart and soul and handAmerica-the Promised Land!

Legislative Progress

Legis-lation should be planned on abasis of future expectation aswell as present individual needs.The interpretation of the term"progress" may mean letting thebars down for those who are inpractice and putting them upagainst the future of the profes-sion. In all these matters thecolleges, representing the futureof the profession, should begiven equal consideration withthe active practitioner.

Any form of legislation thatyou can put across that will tendto limit the number of studentsfrom your state and limit thenumber of graduates enteringyour state is retrogressive andyou can make nothing else outof it.

"Sandy"

A few days ago the editor dis-covered that Mrs. Robinson call-ed her new Pontiac "Sandy." Sheinforms us that she has so namedit because it is Scotch. Onemight judge this to be a goodScotch joke but being that thewriter has enjoyed the privilegeof riding with the owner he isat loss to verify the statement.The car has a very excellent pick-up which would lead to the be-lief that it might be Jewish orhave such tendencies. Again itmay be English for it has beencalled a "bloomin' good car."And too, it might be a Yankeewith all its "pep and speed"-and so I ask you why should shecall it "Sandy?"

ImmortalityImmortality is a word that

Hope, through all the ages, hasbeen whispering to Love. Themiracle of thought we cannot un-derstand. The mystery of lifeand death we cannot compre-hend. This chaos called "World"has never been explained. Thegolden bridge of life from gloomemerges and on shadow rests.Beyond this we do not know.Fate is speechless, destiny isdumb, and the secret of the fu-ture has never yet been told.We love; we wait; we hope. Themore we love the more we fear.Upon the tenderest heart thedeepest shadows fall. All paths,whether filled with thorns orflowers, end here. Here successand failure are the same. Therag of wretchedness and the pur-ple robes of power, all differenceand distinction lose in thisdemocracy of death. Charactersurvives; goodness lives; love isimmortal.-R. G. I.

"That Something"

This happened a long, longtime ago.

I never see a man limp with-out thinking of that day.

The sky wept.No rift of brighter color broke

the drabness of it.I thought the universe wept.That was my outlook.The very times were in misery.Men were out of work.I was one of them.I had slept the night before on

the cold, cement floor of thecity's jail. I slept as a tired dogsleeps, a dog worn out with afruitless chase. All of the nightbefore, I had walked, walked,walked,-my pride keeping mefrom this place. And so the dayhad found me walking, aimless-ly, looking only for food, shelterand work. This could not lastforever, so that night I hadstumbled down the long, narrowhallway of the jail, and been letinto a barred cell with a hundredothers. And there I had lain asone dead, on the cold, hard floor.

But it is of the day that fol-lowed that night in jail that youshall hear.

For that was the day of mylife.

It was then that I found "ThatSomething."

My feet were very tired.My soul wept with the sky.I stood, as in a wilderness

alone, on the corner of a greatthoroughfare in a great city.

And then a man stopped bymy side.

He was of my height andbuild.

I caught a glimpse of his face.I thought that this man might

have been myself, ifBut my present need drove

out reflections.And so I laid my hand on his

arm."I am hungry," I said simply.He turned slowly and looked,

at me. First his gaze took inevery detail of the outer man,from my water-soaked cap to mypoor, cracked shoes. And then,through my eyes, he seemed tosearch my soul.

I stood there abashed.I laugh when I think of that

now.But then-it was different."Well," he said presently,

"suppose you were fed. Whatthen?" I shifted my weight fromone tired foot to the other.

"I'd try to get a job some-where," I muttered after a mo-ment.

"You'd try?" he asked."Yes, try," I answered, "al-

though there is little chance.Nobody wants men now. But Idon't care for that now. It'sfood I want. I'm hungry. Canyou help me?"

"No," he answered, a note ofpity in his voice. "I cannot helpyou. No man can."

"But you could feed me," I

said, with some petulance in myvoice.

"It is not food that you need.""What then?" I asked."That Something," was his re-

ply.A man joined him. They be-

gan talking of matters of mutualinterest. I was shuffling awaythrough the drizzling, miserablerain, when he called me back,and handed me his card.

"Man, go find 'That Some-thing,'" he said, "and whenyou've found it, come to me."

"Come to you for what?" Iasked.

"To thank me," was hisanswer, and he and his friendpassed on.

I believe in miracles.There used to be such things.Man has been taught to work

the miracles of today.He gives them another name.But they are miracles just the

same.There were two words that

stuck in my memory."That Something."I fell to wondering.I turned into a pool room, and

found a seat.I sat there thinking.The balls on the table before

me clicked nickels away frommen who could ill afford thepleasures of the place.

I sat there a long, long time.There was nowhere else to go.Ahead of me I saw another

night in jail.Yet the day seemed longer

than the night.It was warm in there. The

hum of voices, the regular click,click, click of ivory, the occa-sional thumping of cue onmarble floor-all this in time de-veloped into a dull chorus ofmonotony.

And then-I fell asleep.I believe in God.I believe in miracles.I believe in visions as well.But it is only natural that I

should have dreamed of "ThatSomething"-so perhaps it wasneither miracle or vision.

You will think it a foolishdream.

Yet it changed my life.That's reason enough for the

telling.You may laugh at it scorn-

fully.Then my dream will do you no

good.You may see in it what I saw.Then you will take your place

with the masters of men.There were once two men who

went out to find gold.TFach found what he sought.The one threw what he found

back into the muddy stream.The other recognized the gold

for what it was.The one was a failure.The other a success.It is so in life.And this was my dream.I dreamed that I awoke.That is the most wonderful

part of the dream.For in my dream, I realized

that I had been asleep.A long, long sleep, from the

very beginning of things.And I saw myself, there in the

pool room, asleep.(To ho» enntinirail\v\(v Hai A Vir l-lln UUJ
