Osteopathy Without Limitation

Thank You!

We get a good many letters.Some of them tell of mistakeswe have made. Some voice theirappreciation of the Log Bookand compliment us on it. Someof you are thoughtful enough towrite us when you change youraddress and we thank you. Doyou know that it costs us twocents every time a Log Book isreturned to us if it cannot bedelivered? Uncle Sam is notquite as generous as he oneewas about this business of re-turning mail addressed to thewrong place. We thank those ofyou who have sent in your newaddress and we hope that youwill continue to like the LogBook. We thank those of youwho have written nice thingsabout us and we also thank thoseof you who have offered con-structive criticism.

Under this heading may wethank Dr. J. A. Van Brakle forhis nice letter and the informa-tion about legislative affairs inhis state. It is evident that Ore-gon is having the same internaltroubles that some of our otherstates are affected with. Dr.Van Brackles monthly bulletinsare well written. We will ven-ture that the Oregon groupreads every word of this inter-esting little publication.

We also thank Dr. MaryWalker for a copy of her Oste-opathic calendar sent to this of-fice.

The New Class

Somehow word got out thatwe would not matriculate a newclass in January of this year.Even with this rumor in circu-lation we have every indicationthat the in-coming students atthis time will exceed the num-ber that entered at the sametime last year. Already severalare here in town and correspond-ence indicates that the class willexceed our expectations. StillCollege will give these incomingstudents four years of work justthe same as classes entering inSeptember and no effort will bemade to cut their time of gradu-ation short by crowding thework in any way.

We are gratified to know thatthe profession appreciates com-pleteness of the work given inStill College and we thank youfor your efforts not only in ourbehalf but for Osteopathy.

Dr. Golden Entertains

The holiday season was notentirely devoid of affairs regard-less of the exodus of the major-ity of the student body. On De-cember 28th Dr. Mary Goldeninvited those of her Pediatricsclass who did not go home forChristmas, out to her lovelyhome for dinner and the eve-ning's entertainment. Her liv-ing room was decorated by abeautifully lighted Christmastree under which she had ar-ranged her gifts. Coziness wasproduced in the room by the logsburning in the fireplace.

At six thirty a real Christmasdinner was served to the twenty-four guests and was complete inevery respect. Those who didnot have the pleasure of a homecooked Christmas dinner at homewere treated to one at Dr. Gold-en's.

After the dinner Dr. H. V.Halladay arrived with his mov-ing picture outfit and showedmovies of his trips through thewest during the summers of '31and '32. They proved interest-ing as well as instructive.

Everyone 'left with the remem-brance of a very enjoyable eve-ning.

-A Guest.

The Past Semester

Beginning in September a fewchanges were made in the cur-riculum with the idea of improv-ing the work in several of thedepartments. This was empha-sized more in the line of Osteo-pathic Principles and Technic.Reports from the students andothers who have been makingobservations of the work are tothe effect that these changes area very great improvement overthe older method of teachingthese subjects. With the newplan in force the student nowhas added work in every sub-ject and this particularly alongOsteopathic lines. The presentday Osteopathic Student is notsatisfied with the statement offacts without knowing thescientific background.

F. A. Paresi--From Colgate,Harvard, U. S. Army and partsbeyond. Paresi knows Pathol-ogy and a number of otherthings. There were seven littleParesis in his family the lasttime we counted.

L. J. Phillips-From Chi. Heknows his stuff.

L. R. Sparks-From the EastCoast. We will trust him tocarry on for Osteopathy.

Soph: "Come on and getcleaned up and I'll get you adate."

Frosh (cautiously): "Yeah,and then suppose you don't getme the date."

The Christmas Vacation

This year the vacation periodstarted two days before Christ-mas and even that late date didnot cause the demise of morethan the usual number of rela-tives. Regardless of the lack offunds most of the students man-aged to go home and left veryfew to carry on the work of theclinic during that time. It isneedless to say that the variousdepartments were taken care ofbut some of our Seniors felt liketaking a vacation after the 9thof January.

Dean Schwarts then awardedthe honorary certificates for ex-tra work done in the various de-partments of the college, alsothe special awards of Sigma Sig-ma Phi and Dr. Marshall.

It being the birthday of theDean, Boatman deemed it properto present ur. n;cnwarLz WILIIsome new equipment for the op-erating room at the hospital.This was highly appreciated.

Miss Lillian Peterson receivedthe special Sigma Sigma Phiaward for having the highestscholastic average in the Fresh-man class.

This very interesting programsnapped through without a stopand was closed with a number bythe band. The majority of thestudents wish that we could haveclass day every Friday.

Basketball

The basketball tournamentsponsored by Sigma Sigma Phicontinues very much unabated.Below we list the results to dateaccording to the record handedthe editor. From certain post-mortem findings that have beenreported this may not be the lastword. One of the recent gamesdemonstrated not only the abil-ity of the players along the linesof basketball but according toeye witnesses tactics were bor-rowed from football, boxing,wrestling and even bridge. It isreported that one player made agrand slam. The original cardhas five games to go yet beforethe end of the series so evenwith the score looking a littleone-sided now the championshipis still open.

Even with the extra work inthe office during the vacation ofeveryone else, Miss FlorenceCrawford managed to find a fewdays available and made the tripto northern Iowa so as to behome for Christmas. She re-ports a gain of seven pounds inweight.

The Unusual Case

"Oh, Doctor Jones, I reallydoubt

If science ever will find out,Or learned men will ever seeThe reason for my agony.

My bed is soft, my pillow deep,I try so hard to woo some sleep.I guard me with the best of

careAnd still it never finds me there.

Food to me is quite a bore,It has no savor any more.I've eaten stuff in cans and tinsWashed down with oils of vita-

mins.

I'm wearing woolen underwearAnd still I have no pep to spare.I've purchased every kind of

lamp,And I still perspire cold and

damp.

One Doctor friend was verykind,

He worked on me with a Poly-sine.

He gave me fourteen kinds ofjuice,

But I think a kidney floatedloose.

Oh, Doctor Jones, how germsdefeat us!

My Grand dad croaked with dia-betes.

Small chance I have to get in-surance

I have, I feel, lost my endurance.

Oh, Doctor Jones, please takemy case

And face facts squarely in theface.

I'll gladly be a martyr to science,And even wear your latest ap-

pliance.

My money is gone, ah, but I havefriends,

And Doctor, think of the divi-dends! !

I'll tell them all I have you tothank! ! !

And they expect you to put itin the bank!George Edward Folkman, '35.

The New Term

The Spring term 'begins Janu-ary 23rd. Late registration ispermitted only in the FreshmanB class. Students who havebeen absent for one term mustbe here January 23rd. Makeyour plans accordingly.

Stude, looking for rooms: Doyou stand for smoking here?

Puzzled Old Lady: Why, no,we've never attached any pa-triotic significance to it.

The advertising man was pro-posing: "But remember, Lady,this is the last day, positivelythe last day, of this astoundingoffer."

The confidence which we havein ourselves gives birth to muchof that which we have in others.

New Dietetic PrinciplesFor Tuberculosis

(By Ava L. Johnson, B. H. Ec.,B. S., M. S.)

(Continued from Last Issue)

(3) Fresh meat foods are re-stricted to 600 grams weekly;Hermandorfer and Gersen wouldreduce that and give it only onceor twice a week.(4) One pint or more of fresh,uncooked milk daily, augmentedby sour milk, eggs, especiallythe yolk, oatmeal, whole wheatfreed and ferinaceous foods inrestricted amounts.

(5) The diet includes the useof various spices to improveflavor. And there are added tothe food list two medicinalpreparations. One, Mineralogen,is a special blend of mineral saltsof vegetable origin, the exactcomposition of which has not yetbeen published. According toHermansdorfer and Gersen itcontains potassium aluminiumsulphate, calcium phosphate;sodium silicate, magnesium sul-phate, sodium sulphate, bismuthsubnitrate, calcium 1 a c t a t e,strontium lactate, albumin, sodi-um acid sulphate and sodiumbromide. In addition to this, anabundance of vitamin is assuredby the use of a special phos-phoric acid cod liver oil prepara-tion.

Reports from the Sauerbruchhospital were enthusiastic. Useof the diet was followed by arapid increase in weight and aspeedy arrest of tuberculosis. Itseemed to be of especial value inthe healing of wounds. Gersonfeels that the nutritional state ofthe patient is profoundly influ-enced by the dietetic regimewhich restricts salt and is almostchlorine free; which is high invitamins largely from the freshfruit and vegetable source;which augments vitamins withthe use of phospherized cod liveroil and augments the mineralswith the vegetable Mineralogen.Reduced NaC1 plus Mineralo-gen, Gersen claims, affects thewater metabolism and reactionof the tissues so that the acid-base reaction is altered. Diure-sis results and the body cells de-pleted of water, are better ableto combat the bacillus of tuber-culosis.

The diet formula on a dailyintake of 3,000 calories shows99 grams of protein, 180 gramsof fat and 246 grams of carbo-hydrate. These figures are di-vided by 3 and one-third givenat each meal. The measure-ments are carefully made. Theprotein is chiefly from eggs, 500-600 grams of fresh meat beingpermitted weekly. Fresh fruitsand vegetables are kept abund-ant for-the vitamins. Forbiddenfoods include: NaCI, pickles,smoked and spiced meat, sau-sage, ham, smoked salted fish,vinegar, coffee, tea and cocoa.Fresh meat, fish, pepper andmeat extraicts are allowed insmall amounts. The permittedfoods include milk, 2-21 pints inany form, although as much ascan be taken easily should be

We have never at-tempted to offer to the profes-sion a periodical filled with sci-entific articles. We have felt allthrough the years that the estab-lished monthly publications ofthe A. O.

Thatyour college was continuing tomatriculate and graduate stu-dents who feel like you do, thatthose were the best four yearsyou ever spent . Just as some ofyou will look back to the goodold days, these who are now inschool will be doing the samething ten years hence. Collegedays are always the good olddays. The Log Book hopes thatit has kept you in closer touchwith the ,college and has triedto make you feel that the goodold days are still with us.

It may be of interest to you toknow that the Log Book doesnot accept any form of advertis-ing.

Birthplace of the Log Book

In Re New Orleans

Under date of February 1 theLog Book has received a letterfrom the editor of the Bureau ofNew Orleans News taking issuewith A. L. J. in regard to hiscity. This was expected since acopy of the last issue of the LogBook was sent to the Secretaryof the Chamber of Commerce ofthat city and we knew that areply would be forthcoming soonfor New Orleans has pride andreasons for it.

The letter is just a little toolong to publish in full but wecompliment Mr. Callender on hisefforts and feel sure that the cityis doing all in its power to main-tain its historic buildings andother distinctive features thatare to be found no where elsein the world. Since we cannotall see the same thing with thesame eyes it is refreshing once ina while to get a report contraryto the usual one of "Having agood time. Wish you were here."A. L. J.'s report of her trip willnot keep any one person fromvisiting New Orleans and as faras that is concerned a visitorfrom New Orleans could find sev-eral spots here in Des Moinesor any other large city that didnot agree with his idea of beautyor civic pride.

For the past several monthsthe Obstetrical Department ofthe College has been taking careof all 0. B. deliveries of thewives of enlisted men at FortDes Moines, through appoint-ment by the Surgeon's Staff ofthe Fort.

Last July while Lt. F. A. Par-isi, U. S. A. M. R. C. was sta-tioned at the Fort the NursingStaff of the Post Hospital wasdiscontinued, because of lack offunds, and sent elsewhere. Atthat time the Surgeon's Staff in-terviewed Dr. Parisi, facultymember of the College, and afterthorough investigation of themethods and ability of the Col-lege Clinic, the 0. B. Depart-ment of the College was ap-pointed to take over all cases offamilies of enlisted men.

Tuition Costs

Many professional schools willlist their tuition for students bythe semester and then- add suchitems as dissection fee, registra-tion fee, activities fee, breakagedeposit, clinic passes and hos-pital entry card fees, whichmakes tuition for a student agreat deal more than the some-what small appearing tuitioncost.

It has been the policy of D.-M.S.C.O. to list an all inclusivetuition fee which includes everydepartment of the College andevery course offered. Studentsat this College pay one fee whichincludes everything. All equip-ment is for the use of students.The hospital has no fees outsidethose covered by the regular tui-tion.

Dear Doctor:

By C. I. GORDON, D. 0.

There is the preconceived no-tion that Chemistry is one of thesubjects fostered upon the stu-dent by the colleges and stateboards.

How many times in the last sixyears have I heard students say,I don't care for chemistry; Doc-tor So and So has a good prac-tice, makes so much money andhe said he did not take chemistry.How many times has the samedoctor obtained results and didnot know why; and how manytimes did he fail to obtain re-sults and still he did not knowwhy? The body is a chemicallaboratory and if we knew allthe chemical reactions that takeplace in that laboratory therewould be no failure in treatment.

We have made use of chem-istry, however, in a number ofways; first, in diagnosis, thechemical analysis of urine; gas-tric content, feces, etc., is under-stood by all. It is within the

Athletic Care CourseAgain Being Offered

The College is again offeringthe regular course in the care ofathletic teams. The course cov-ers the general subject of Ortho-pedics, injuries to muscle, boneand ligamentous tissues, prophy-lactic care of athletes, and thegeneral treatment of injuries at-tending athletic teams. Thecourse has always been popularand is enjoying a large enroll-ment under the direction of Dr.H. V. Halladay.

The College Athletic Clinictakes care of six high school andacademy teams for all sportsthroughout the school year andevery student has a chance tocome in actual contact with vari-ous teams in all lines of sportand not only observe, but treat,all types of injuries.

Birh and death certifi-cates were distriubted through-out the assembly and then Dr.Steelesmith elaborated on theitems appeared on the sheets andwhy they appeared there. Hetalked further on the history ofmedicine and made an appeal tothe student body to not becomenarrowed in their viewpoint tosuch an extent that they wouldshut out the good of other typesof therapy beside their own.

This visit by the Health Com-missioner was the first in thehistory of the school. Every stu-dent enjoyed his views on thevarious types of therapy and hisclear cut grasp of the osteopath-ic concept, although from an-other school of therapy. Fac-ulty and student body alike en-joyed the talk and will welcomeDr. Steelesmith back at some fu-ture date for another speakingengagement at D.M.S.C.O.

M. 0. H. CelebratesFifth Birthday

According to the "M.O.H.News" published by the Massa-chusetts Osteopathic Hospital,Jamaica Plains, Mass., that hos-pital will soon celebrate its fifthanniversary as an osteopathic in-stitution. We quote from the"News":

"The record of achievement inthe past five years of the Massa-chusetts Osteopathic Hospital isan enviable one. The back-ground it has given, quality ofits professional service, and par-ticularly the splendid work donein the Out-Patient Department,have enhanced the prestige ofeach individual physician andthe value of Osteopathic proce-dure throughout New England.

"With two thousand more vis-its recorded in the Out-PatientDepartment in 1932 than in1931, we must expect a still fur-ther increase in 1933, due toprevailing conditions. The suc-cess of the Fifth AnniversaryBirthday Appeal is therefore im-perative."

New Dietetic PrinciplesFor Tuberculosis

(By Ava L. Johnson, B. H. Ec.,B. S., M. S.)

(Continued from Last Issue)

The results were given in con-siderable detail in the report,but may be itemized brieflly asfollows:

1. There was a substantialgain in weight which had notbeen accomplished before.

2. Alimentary disturbancescleared.

3. The treatment effectuallydiminished fatigue and pro-moted a sense of well being.

4. In some cases the quantityof sputum lessened, but nonecleared of bacilli.

Other effects varied with thepatients, a few showed a markeddiminution of cough, the hem-morhages were in some the sameas before. Chest pains disap-peared in a few who had com-plained of them before. Twocases of intestinal tuberculosiscleared while one of this formremained unchanged.

The conclusions adduced fromthese results by the members ofthe Saranac staff are important."Favorable results in one-thirdof the cases over a period ofsix months", the report reads,"may be attributed to diet. Butother factors too may have con-tributed to this outcome." Thepsychic element, enforced rest,occasional tendency of the in-fection to subside temporarily,wholesome f o o d, scrupulouspreparation, careful cooking, in-dividual service, all are men-tioned as factors which mayhave had significance aside fromthe rigid diet regime.

Volume 10 MARCH 15, 1933 Number 3

The Kirksville Trek

About fifty Stillonians made aweek-end visit to Kirksville re-cently. Two basketball contestswere arranged between the twoschools on the evening of March3. An Inter-fraternity Dancefollowed the basketball games.Visiting students departed intime to attend classes and clinicduring the day on Friday andreturned to Des Moines the dayfollowing.

Although D.M.S.C.O. was de-feated in both basketball con-tests the trip was voted a suc-cess due to the fine sportsman-ship and splendid hospitalityshown the visitors by the Kirks-ville student body-the DesMoines Osteopaths were "Kingsof the Day".

The Kirksville chapter of theAtlas Club won their local In-ter-fraternity Basketball Tourna-ment while the Still Chapter ofthe Atlas Club were equally suc-cessful in the tournament here.With two winners in the samefraternity at the two schools itwas decided to decide the cham-pionship and a contest was ar-ranged. The KEirksville quin-tet defeated the local boys 25 to18 in a fast, clean, hard foughtbattle on a mammoth floor.

After arrangements for theAtlas game had been made it wasdecided that a picked team fromeach Inter-fraternity Conferenceat the two schools should meetin a casaba tossing contest.Again the boys in the southernschool came out with the bigpointage to the tune of 27 to 17.Both games were well playedand enjoyed by a packed gym-nasium of students.

An unofficial contest was stag-ed during the afternoon in theform of a foot race when theclarion call of "O. B.! Seniorsto the pit" was sounded andabout 200 students engaged ina race to the scene of action.In this particular contest theStillonians seemed to be victori-ous. Following the case the stu-dents were invited to witness anevisceration of the eye.

Like the postman who takes along walk on his day off, localstudents making the trip spentthe entire day in Kirksville visit-ing classes and the clinic. Sat-urday morning, several of thevisiting aggregation drove on toMacon, Mo., to visit the Still-Hildreth Sanitarium.

The trip served to make newfriendships among future mem-bers of the same profession. Lo-cal students have been express-ing appreciation for the recep-tion and pleasure they receivedwhile in Kirksville and all en-

New Proctology BookOut

A new book on Colonic andProctologic Therapy has justbeen published by the FidelityPublishing Co. of Tacoma, Wash.The co-authors are Dr. B. R. Le-Roy, Bio-Chemist of Tacoma andDr. Mark A. Bauer, Proctologist,and former graduate of D.M.S.-C.O. in 1918. The 'book has al-ready met with a fine degree ofsuccess.

Many Pass State BoardsReports from various state

boards indicate that former stu-dents at D.M.S.C.O. have beensuccessful in passing state boardexaminations.

The South Dakota Board an-nounces that Drs. Donald Olson,Robert Hubbard and WilliamHinds of the '32 Class and LouisEske of the '23 class have beenadmitted to practice in thatstate.

The Ohio Board reports Dr.Justin Koch while the West Vir-ginia Board says that the foursuccessful passers of their 'boardwere all former students at thecollege. The following took theboard: Drs. Eugene Keig, JamesDonovan, Le Roy Sparks, Leon-ard Phillips.

All taking the Iowa Boardfrom the January class at theCollege were successful althoughfew have decided on definite lo-cations as yet.

joyed the trip to such an extentthat they are looking forward toanother one at some future date.Invitations were delivered to stu-dents of K.C.O.S. to come to DesMoines and see our College andextensive clinics and Stilloniansare looking forward to the pleas-ure of entertaining those visi-tors whenever they decide tocome.

Evidently Spring Is Here

If one were to judge by theconversation held in the hallsbetween classes these days onewould surely think that springhad arrived. Rumors of base-ball and tennis teams for theCollege are floating about-andseem to be well founded rumors.

Plans are now formulatingfor a baseball squad for the col-lege this spring. The team willbe composed of twelve men andtryouts will soon be under way.It is planned to meet other clubsin the vicinity and, if the earlyseason proves successful, to con-tinue the team throughout thesummer. In the summer otherteams will be met and the pro-ceeds from games will be splitamong the players, thus afford-ing summer employment for sev-eral students that might other-wise ,be unemployed during thevacation.

The inter-fraternity baseballseries will soon start and isplanned to pick the best playersfrom the various teams to makeup the summer-time squad.

Tennis enthusiasts are alreadylimbering up their serve for thecoming contests. While definiteplans cannot be announced at thepresent a few meetings havebeen held to get teams organ-ized for spring competition.

The College has not sponsoredPfhl pfion c f nr c!r,-lxlarn1 -xrnan a n dCt u ltL I UM3 LUl V t; y1C Y ACl Hi (UUI

both the above mentioned teamswill not be officially sponsoredby the College. Both teams willbe composed of students andmanaged by students for thepleasure they will derive fromthe sport. Further details willbe available in an early issue.

ATLAS CLUB

The big event of the monthwas our trip to Kirksville. Abouttwenty from the house made thetrip. We had the pleasure ofbeing guests of the Axis chapterof Atlas Club. We enjoyed verymuch our stay at their houseand were glad for the opportu-nity to get acquainted with ourBrothers in Kirksville.

Our Brothers in Kirksvillemay be able to teach us some-thing about Basketball but wefound that we could give themsome useful pointers in bridge.We hope they can use our Cap-tain's suggestions to a good ad-vantage, since they are trailingin the tournament there.

Something in Kirksville musthave proven very interesting toa certain group. Maybe it waethe Delta Omega house, anyway,they are planning another tripin the near future.

Pledge Stevens had some diffi-culty in keeping a certain Model"A" behind him on the returntrip, but he was traveling moreslowly than usual so pledge Fra-zier would be sure to get homesafely for his weekly trip.

Monday, February 20, wasgiven over to Stag Social hourwhich proved to be instructingas well as entertaining. Theevening was begun with Dr. Hal-laday showing us the pictures ofhis 1933 tour, after which every-one enjoyed a few games of crib-bage, bridge or rummy with ourAlumni and Faculty. The eve-ning ended with the serving of"Coneys" and coffee, picnic style.

Plans are being made for an-.-athoer At.l.as assembly, which we

hope will equal or surpass theone sponsored last semester. Wehave been fortunate enough toget the "Girl Friends", a vocaltrio from Drake, who were re-ceived with a great deal of en-thusiasm last year.

An ambitious pledge recentlygave the bust of A. T. Still agood cleaning. "Andy" nowseems to rival the sun in hisradiant light.

Since the call bell has beenplaced on the third floor. Somedrowsy brothers have had diffi-culty in distinguishing between itand the alarm cloks. Some sun-shiny morning we may find analarm clock scattered over thefront lawn.

PHI SIGMA GAMMA.

Brother Johnson wins the rub-ber cookie for having the bestname given to him this month.Some of the boys thought Delwas lacking an appropriate titleand so hung "Wampaloosa" on

him, which means "Big Swedefrom Fargo" or something tothat effect! !

Pledge Diekow is studying thehuman body as part of his vaca-tion but he still shudders whenit comes to even touching askeleton, especially when Blechput his pajamas in the thoraciccavity of the one at the house.That happened the other nightand Diekow went to bed "raw".

Pledges Irvin, Owen, andStorey have become real devilishlately. Last Thursday nightthey took in the mid-night partyat one of the local cinemas andhad a very wicked time-butwere sore all the next day formissing out on the schnappsgiven away.

Pledge Storey seems to havethe edge in the ping-pong tourna-ment to date-but is closelypushed by Brother Blech andPledges Bartram and Owen.

Pledge Jurgensen still thinksMinnesota is in America, butwhen it comes to card tricks andwomen he gets it. Earl doesn'tseem to like Des Moines becauseeverybody doesn't turn out forthe fires like they do in his hometown.

The fraternity was very pleas-ed to have Dr. Parisi at thehouse for an interesting lectureon "Preventative Medicine". Alight lunch was served and anenjoyable time was had by all.

Dr. and Mrs. Kline were hon-ored guests at dinner Sunday.

Brother Noible was a visitor inSt. Louis over the week end andcame back with a SouthernBrogue.

Brother TLon estenbnaum rle-livered his first baby last weekwhich accounts for the expandedchest. One would think he wasthe father.

Brother Hecker, has takenover his position as assistantPathology Lab instructor and isalmost overcome by the addedwork.

Bill Rees arrived back atschool from God's country earlyin February. He says it is thefirst time he has been in DesMoines since the Greeks took itover.Brother Naylor had the pleasureof spending a few days withDave Graw in Chicago and ap-parently had a good time.

IOTA TAU SIGMA

It seems to be just a matterof time now until that lovelyspring weather will be with usagain bringing on those everpresent symptoms of a certaintype of fever which tends tomake students just a bit slowand lessons hard to absorb.However as a compensation wewill soon have the great oldgame of baseball which after allmakes life worth living.

At present we seem to be do-ing fairly well in the bridgetournament being approximatelyclose to the top and chances ofdoing better. Brother Herdseems to be getting lax in histraining rules by allowing theplayers to stay up at night aslate as ten o'clock and eatingbetween meals.

Brother Hurd, Herbert, andGerow had the pleasure of trav-eling down to Kirksville to playbasketball. They representedpart of the so-called "All Stars".Might add that the game wasclose and very interesting butKirksville did manage to win.Everyone had a great time andmade many friendships whichmade the trip very much worthwhile.

It has just been brought toour attention that we have aNomad in our midst. BrotherHobbs has again made that tripback to Ohio. There certainlymust be some sort of a verystrong attachment iback there tonecessitate all these trips. Thatmight also account for all thosespecial delivery letters receivedhere.

Brothers Whetstine and Mc-Laughlin seem to have isolatedthemselves from the rest of theworld since they have started tostudy for State Boards. In thiscase however, it is not so muchof a study as just a review sincethey have both been very goodstudents.

DELTA OMEGA.

The Detlas here at school metwith the alumni group at the Dr.Harry Marshall home on Tues-day evening, February 28. Alovely dinner was served at 7:15to a group of about 25.

The early part of the eveningwas then given over to businesssession. Miss Vienna Hall wasinitiated into active membership.

We were glad at this time toentertain Miss Helen Butcher ofthe January class.

Better late than never-wehave not made the announce-ment in this column of quite anhonor to one of our girls. MissLillian Peterson won the scholar-ship award offered by Sigma Sig-ma Phi for the May class of '35.More power to you, Pete.

Rachel Hodges visited the Al-pha chapter at Kirksville March3 and 4 and reports a verygood time. The girls have anice house now, and its hospi-tality was royal. We wish therecould be more visiting betweenthe two chapters-and betweenthe two schools.

SIGMA SIGMA PHI

The schedule of the bridgetournament has been rearrangedto allow the non-fraternity teamsto compete for the cup also.

We are glad to announce theformal initiation of the follow-ing men into active membership;Delbert Johnson, Louis Carleton,Albert Dennis and Bernard Her-bert.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

An AppreciationAfter the basketball trip to

Kirksville recently, a letter ofappreciation was received fromRobert H. McDowell, editor inchief of the "Stilletto", officialpublication of the Kirksville Col-lege of Osteopathy and Surgery,for the fine spirit exhibited be-tween the two colleges duringthe visit of the Still students.We quote from the letter:

"On behalf of the Stilletto andthe Kirksville College of Osteo-pathy and Surgery, we wish toexpress our sincere appreciationof the fine spirit between the twocolleges. The students herehave expressed their hearty ap-preciation so many times and be-lieve that the two colleges shouldcome closer together in allevents and activities. To reallytry to express their attitude isfar beyond my thoughts. Thestudents regret that getting to-gether is not more often accom-plished and that a much greaterrespect and co-operation couldalways Ibe maintained '. .. Wetrust that more and greaterevents, social or otherwise, canbe established between the twocolleges."

British Put Up FightIn a recent communication re-

ceived from the British Schoolof Osteopathy they inform usthat they are engaging in a vig-orous scuffle to have Osteopathyplaced on a par with other medi-cal sciences in that country.

The British School was organ-ized in 1917 and has been theleader in the fight for recogni-tion of our profession through-out the British Empire and theyare to be congratulated on theirapparent success thus far. Sev-eral pictures of the Collegeshowing the clinic and classrooms have been received andappreciated by this College.

Medical Aid for 3 PerCent of Income

A plan whereby families withincomes of $2,700 or less mayreceive all needed medical at-tention for a yearly charge of 3per cent of incomes-came be-fore the Omaha-Douglas CountyMedical Association for decisionrecently.

The proposal provides that allmembers of the medical society,hospital and nurses, offer theirservices to the group of familieseligible for the "health poli-cies." It is provided that thesepolicies be cancellable only ongrounds of "deceit or fraud."Size of the family would haveno bearing on the fee.

An executive board composedof members of the society wouldhandle the medical end of theplan and the financial part wouldbe handled by a financial com-pany. Members of the organiza-tion would be permitted to selecttheir own doctor, nurse and hos-pital, and each physician or sur-geon would be required to list aschedule of fees for patients inthe $2,700 class.

Total receipts and bills wouldbe pooled each month. Each doc-tor would receive from the poolthe same percentage of theamount he billed his patients asthe pool received in receipts.

It is estimated by sponsorsthat 10,000 families would besigned as members of the planwithin two years.

New Dietetic PrinciplesFor Tuberculosis

(By Ava L. Johnson, B. H. Ec.,B. S., M. S.)

(Continued from Last Issue)According to the Saranac re-

port analysis shows that the nu-tritive elements which were par-ticularly effective were the in-organic salts and the vitamines.The inorganic mixture was pre-pared of alkali forming salts andblood tests showed a shift to thebasic re-action during the feed-ing. This shift in re-action wasan important factor the investi-gators feel. But even so, theinorganic substance was not soimportant as the vitamines. Thefavorable results, they con-cluded, depended upon the baseforming carriers of vitamines:milk, vegetables, fruits. Thesefoods carry both inorganic sub-stances to shift the blood re-action to the basic side and thevitamines which regulate cellu-lar metabolism. In fact, the ab-sorption and utilization of theminerals depends upon the vita-mines. The NaC1 significancewhich was so stressed by theGermans, the Saranac workerscould not duplicate. To themthe acid-base factor is the im-portant one in the salt feeding.Pursuing that though they ran

His-tories showed that the calorieintake of the majority of theindividuals for one to two yearsprior to the occurrence of de-monstrable tuberculosis was un-usually low. Frequently this in-take would run less than 800calories with a striking reauc-tion of fresh vegetables anddairy products. Meat, fish,bread and pastry would runfairly high. Such habits were

The Trek to Dunkerton

The truth being stranger thanfiction we propose to tell in asfew words as possible the rea-sons why Dunkerton High, locat-ed in a community of 327, wenthome with the bacon and every-thing else at the state basketballtournament. There follows ex-tracts from the detailed reportof M. J. Schwartz, Senior studentat Still College who had the im-

-portant job of taking care of thisteam at the meet. We quote:

"Coach Hartman and. his bas-ketball team were in Des Moinesto take part in the State HighSchool Basketball Tournament.Dunkerton was conceded but lit-tle chance in the tournament, asit was a Class B school with anunimpressive record before com-ing to the meet. There are but90 students in the entire highschool, and the population ofDunkerton is but 327. Here wassmall and insignificant Dunker-ton meeting the biggest and besthigh school teams in the state.Truly, another David and Goli-ath story.

After being introduced to themembers of the team, I immedi-ately got to work. While theCoach had brought some ten mento Des Moines, there were onlyfive men, one complete team, thathe could rely on, and it was upto these five men to fight to thefinish, as there would be no re-placements or substitutions. Themen were told to undress andeach was given a thorough in-spection. This elicited one weakknee, two bad feet, one weakankle, and several minor bruisesas well as two or three toxiccharleyhorses of thigh and legmuscles. From 12 to 1 I work-ed on these men. Then theydressed and went to the DrakeUniversity Field House and inone of the dressing rooms thereI completed the work of gettingthese men ready for their par-ticipation in the semi-finals ofthe tournament. The Halladaymethod of knee taping and sup-port was applied to the weak-ened knee, giving the playercomplete support and full rangeof motion. The toxi charley-horses were cleared up, tape ap-plied to support the weakenedfeet and ankles, and the teamwas all set to go.

Let me say here that thesefive boys were in the acme ofphysical condition. Coming froma small town, they were remov-ed from the big city temptationswhich usually besets boys oftheir age, and their bodies re-sponded most eectively and beau-tifully to the Osteopathic careand attention I was able to give

Iowa Legislation

By P. L. Park, Vice President,Iowa Society Osteopathic Phy-sicians and Surgeons; Chm.Legislative Commn.

Because so many requests havecome to the College concerningthe legislature, I have been ask-ed to write a brief history of therecent session; pertaining to theOsteopathic Bill (H. F. 255) andMedical Bill to regulate osteo-pathic practice (H. F. 273 andS. F. 248).

I presume practically everyoneknows we were offered a com-promise last October, which hadfor its purpose, the absorptionand ultimate elimination ofosteopathy in Iowa. This wasreceived by the legislative com-mittee 'but was rejected becausewe felt the price we had to paywas too high for the smallmount offered those now in

practice.From that proposed compro-

mise, the legislative committeeformulated the bill that was in-troduced and known as H. F.255. Principally ibecause we feltthat there would not be any ar-gument offered by the medics onthe part of it that was used,thereby making the chances ofpassing the bill that much bet-ter.

This much done the next thingwas to find someone we feltcapable of passing our bill. Af-ter careful consideration and sev-eral interviews, it was decided toretain Mr. Frank Comfort to dothis work for us. He is a Dem-ocrat and influential in the statein'Democratic circles.

This brings us up. to January2 when the Legislature conven-ed. The next problem was toget the right man to introduceand father the bill in the houseand also in the Senate. This isa more difficult job than it wouldappear. The old members willremember the fight we had twoyears ago and we were not anxi-ous to enter into it again-andthis word travels fast in the Leg-islature.

The Honorable Mr. Crouch ofGreen County, finally consentedto introduce our ,bill by request.This he did aJbout the 20th ofJanuary and the ibill was refer-red to the Health Committee;almost immediately the! medicsintroduced the companion billsH. F. 273 and S. F. 248 to regu-late the practice of osteopathythe contents of which you areall familiar.

A'bout this time we were ap-proached again with the idea ofcompromise and meet the medi-cal committee in an effort to set-

THE LOG BOOK

The Trek to Dunkerton

(Continued from Page 1)them. Let me also add, that inmy senior athletic clinic work atStill College I had been teamphysician to all the teams of Val-ley Junction High during thefall and winter of 1932-1933. Ihad taken care of their football,wrestling and basketball teams,and had accompanied them onall their games, at home andaway. This experience, preced-ed by the excellent classroom in-struction by Dr. H. V. Halladay,of the Still College faculty, en-atbled me to be of maximum as-sistance to the Dunkerton HighSchool basketball game.

Dunkerton played BurlingtonHigh School at 1:30 and sur-prised the spectators, press anddopesters by winning this gameby the score of 26-19. This wassuch a decided upset of the dopethat Dunkerton was given theheadlines in the daily newspa-pers of Des Moines, Dunkertonhad made basketball history thatafternoon, being the first classB high school to reach the finalsin Iowa high school basketballannals.

After the game, it was verygratifying to have the Coach tellme, "Doctor, please take the boysback to the hotel. I am goingto see the second game of theafternoon. From now on, youhave complete charge of theteam; I don't even want to seethem or go near them."

Arriving at the Hotel, the boyswent to their rooms, and I toldthem to undress and go to bed.It was comical to hear them pro-test and say, "Aw Doc, we don'twant to go to 'bed." However,they obeyed and within five orten minutes, all five of themwere sleeping like babies.

At about 4:15, the Coachcame back to the hotel, accom-panied by two reporters and twonewspaper photographers, whodemanded, as newspaper menusually do, pictures and inter-views with the members of theteam. The Coach referred thenewspaper to me, saying that theboys- were under my care . I in-formed them that the team wasasleep' and could not be disturb-ed, but they could see them andget their pictures at 5:30. Thenewspaper men said they wouldreturn at this time. The Coachwas well pleased with the way Ihad handled the boys, and thenewspaper men, and repeatedthat I was to have charge of theteam and that they were undermy orders from then on.

At 5:00 p. m. the men wereawakened, each man reportingthat he had slept soundly.Again, they were given a minuteexamination and a general oste-opathic treatment.

Then they had their picturestaken by the press and wentdown to eat. Here again thecoach asked me to prescribe adiet for the team. They weretold they could have poachedeggs, toast, fruit, and milk. Af-ter supper, they were taken tothe Drake Field House and be-fore putting on their uniforms,

each man was again carefullygone over and weakened parts,such as knees and ankles, sup-ported by tape applied according;o the Halladay method.

Then, the final game for thechampionship of the state wason. The outcome of the gamewas in doubt until the final sec-onds. With less than a minuteto play the score stood at 20-20;then another basket for Dunker-ton and the game ended 22-20,and Dunkerton High School hadaccomplished the impossible bybeating the Roosevelt HighSchool team, last years all statechampions.

After the game, the Coach toldme they could not have won hadit not been for my care andtreatment. Naturally this pleas-ed me, but all credit should goto the team and coach, and thenOsteopathy should be creditedfor enabling those boys to playat 100 per cent capacity."

On Wednesday following thisremarkable series of games thecommunity of Dunkerton stageda celebration in honor of theboys. It was the pleasure ofSchwartz and your reporter tomake the trip as guests of thecommittee. We arrived in timefor the banquet and were shownthrough the high school which istruly the largest structure formiles around and well equipped.The basketball court is not up tostandard in size and one remark-able feature of the playing ofthese boys is the ease with whichthey adapted themselves to thelarger standard court and theenormous crowd. Accustomedto playing to two hundred andat the most they went into ac-tion before a rabid mob of nearlyseven thousand and on a courtthat looked nearly twice the sizeof the home one.

The preliminary festivitiesconsisted of a real banquet en-joyed from every standpoint byall of us for we were seated di-rectly across from the team andthe well known radio announcer"Andy" of Ames was between us.Following the feed we adjournedto the school auditorium whichis supposed to have a cap'acityof about seven hundred. Con-sideralbly over a thousand foundseats and standing room. Thestage displayed the boys and thecommittee for which the super-intendent of the school acted asspokesman. Appropriate re-marks were made 'by all calledupon and near the last the realhero of the game, Wally Gaddes,arose to tell his impressions ofthe trip. Wally got started onthe Osteopathic care that theboys received and the chairmanalmost had to knock him out toget him to stop. Never in allof our repertorial experiencehave we heard such a genuineextemporaneous eulogy as Wallydelivered to the assembled crowdin praise of his Dr. Schwartz andOsteopathy. We were stunnedand more so when he called uponSchwartz to stand near the cen-ter of the audience. Previous tothis meeting we had been intro-duced to his Mother and to theparents of others of the teamand it seems that the whole com-

munity had been told why theteam won and the reason upper-most seemed to be the care givenby Dr. Schwartz. Altogether itproved to be one of those affairsthat start off to be one thing andend up by being something verydifferent. Least of all had we ex-pected to hear such compliment-ary remarks made from the plat-form and, from the applause,with the full approval of thelisteners.

It is quite natural that weshould like Dunkerton. Ourpersonal knowledge of the vil-lage up to the time of the gamehad been limited to the first syl-lable of the name. The Dunker-ton boys will dunk again nextyear and the last thing we heardas we left was "We will be downnext year and will be lookingfor you to take care of us again."

Boys, the pleasure was allours.

Iowa Legislation

(Continued from Page 1)tie our difficulties outside theLegislature. We agreed, to dothis during the Recess, the ap-pointment was made, but whenwe called on the gentlemen whowere to meet us, they were notinterested and refused to carrythrough the idea. For one thingtheir bill 'had Ibeen referred outof the Senate Health Committeewith a recommendation that itbe passed.

After Recess we tried to intro-duce our 'bill in the Senate butour friends were reluctant to doso and told us that the medicalbill would not come up for avote, and the best thing for usto do was to work on the Houseand get our bill out of theHealth Committee there. Ofcourse'we followed their adviceand after several days work theyvoted it out with a recommenda-tion for indefinite postponement.This was just a few days afterDr. Swift, a member of theHouse, had pulled H. F. 273 outof the Health Committee, by in-voking Rule No. 35. We couldnot use the same rule becausethe author of our bill refused todo so. This put the medical billon the calendar in both housesand our bill indefinitely post-poned.

About a week later the Sift-ing Committees were appointedand both medical bills went tothem, as did everything else onthe calendar, with the few excep-tions of a few at the head of thecalendar. The Sifting Commit-tee in the Senate referred S. F.248 out and that placed it on thecalendar again.

We then tried to pass a motionto refer it to the Sifting Com-mittee in the Senate. After sev-eral physicians had expendedseveral days here and securedenough promises to do so, butwhen the motion was put it fail-ed 30 to 18.

Since that time on it was onthe calendar until last Friday(April 18) when it went back tothe Sifting Committee alongwith a few other bills, after amotion was nassed to refer all

bills to that committee. Afteradjournment Friday, also Fri-lay after the above motion waspassed, a motion was made tohold S. F. 248 over and make ita special order for the followingmorning. This motion failedimmediately. Following this amotion to adjourn was carried.

In the House the followingMonday morning a motion topull H. F. 273 out of the SiftingCommittee lost by a majority of64 to 16.

Both bills are now in the Sift-ing Committee of both housesas near as the writer can learn,they will stay there because ofthe unwillingness of any mem-ber of either house to cast avote for or against either schoolof therapy and practice.

The writer fully realizes thatthis is not a satisfactory reportand cannot be detailed becauseof the time and space such areport should take; also, I thinkit may cast the wrong reflectionon the efforts of the LegislativeCommittee. However, I wish tourge every Osteopathic physicianin the State to attend he StateMeeting at convention time-May 23 and 24 at the Ft. DesMoines Hotel, at which time aminutely detailed report will begiven.

Seek Equal Rightsin Maine

A committee of Maine Osteo-paths, with Judge Benjamin F.Cleaves of Portland as theirspokesman, asked the State Ad-visory Budget Committee towithhold State aid appropria-tions from Maine hospitals un-less they stop "their presentpractice of barring osteopaths".

Governor Gardiner suggestedthat it was a matter for the leg-islature to consider.

"An institution receiving pub-lic money should not render aservice to one class of people andbar another," Cleaves said. "Asit stands now an Osteopath-and they are recognized in Maineon an equal footing with medicalphysicians--can take a patientto the doors of hospitals andthe patient is told, 'you can comein but your doctor can't'."

He said the city physicians ofBath, Rockland, Biddeford, andWestbrook are osteopaths, and"like all the other osteopathsare not permitted to attend evencharity patients in a hospital.They can't take charity patientsinto a hospital and give them thetreatment they need," he said.

In answer to Governor Gardi-ner's suggestion that it was amatter for the legislature to con-sider, Judge Cleaves suggestedthat the budget committee, co:.u-posed of Senator Blaine S.

Of the Seniors sent out on thework Gene Winslow leads thefield in the number of schoolshe worked with. Gene musthave been all over the trainingquarters as he worked with uni-versities, colleges and highschools. Nelson was assigned toNebraska but managed to dipinto Kansas and reach over intoIndiana. All of the remainingboys worked hard and havehanded in a very satisfactory re-port. Poundstone, Graney, Law-rence, Withrow, Agnew, Cooper,Kessler, Schwartz, Gulden andBleck all enjoyed the contactsand had the privilege of meetingand working with some of thenationally and internationallyknown athletes and coaches whoattended the relays. Metcalf ofMarquette and Brooks of Chi-cago, the two outstanding negroathletes were taken care of thisyear again. Both expressedtheir appreciation of the treat-ment given. Nelson, the highschool flash having a record of9.7 for the 100, was taken careof by Dr. Rober t Herrick ofClinton. Here in Des Moines atthe relays he requested that noone but an Osteopath treat him.

G(ratifying results were ob-tained in all cases handled bythe special methods originatingin this department of Still Col-lege and we are proud of thework done by our Seniors inthis, the supreme test of theirability. Reports already receiv-ed from several of the visitingcoaches indicate that they arenot only highly appreciative ofthe service but want it each yearthat they visit Des Moines. Thecollege considers it a pleasureand a privilege to be able to ex-tend this work of the depart-ment outside our own publicschool system and other localschools.

This is just another proof ofthe superior advantages of StillCollege and the efficiency of theinstruction. Facts and nottheories should be considered inselecting the college to whichyou send your students. Con-tacts were made by our Seniorsat the relays that would be im-possible under any other circum-stances. Not only is this workvaluable to our students but thework that the department is do-ing spreads since the boys whohave been taken care of will re-member Osteopathy and in thisway the field benefits.

South Dakota Board

The next examination of theSouth Dakota Board will be heldJune 15 and 16 at Huron, S. D.Applications should be made toDr. C. Rebekka Strom, 321 So.Phillips Ave., Sioux Falls, S. D.

Heigh Ho! Come to theFair In July

The Chicago Osteopathic As-sociation invites all who are inattendance at the A. O. A. con-vention in Milwaukee to be ourguests at Chicago's Century ofProgress Exposition immediatelyfollowing the conventions.

In spite of the depression,moratoriums, and everythingelse, this City by the Inland Seais putting on a show differentand more elaborate than anyattempted before. It will be putthrough completely as plannedand will open on time.

Our plan is to gather the at-tendants of the convention assoon as it is closed, Friday, July28, at 3 p. m., and whisk it onehundred miles south. ThQwhisking will be accomplishedin not more than two hours byspecial trains or busses or motorcaravans according to individualpreferences. Extremely favor-rates are available for eachmethod of transportation.

The Drake Hotel will be yourheadquarters in Chicago and canaccommodate the entire conven-tion. A room and bath for threedollars a day at a hotel of thequality and prestige of the Drakeis something to talk about. Abuffet dinner will be served Fri-day evening, July 28, at theDrake which should be a happy,informal affair and will help toease up the tension incident to astrenuous week of convention-ing.

At 8:30 p. m. we board thesteamer Roosevelt for a nightview from the lake of the spec-tacular Exposition illumination.We have already reserved thebest portion of the boat for ourexclusive use. If enough willcome, we will commandeer theentire ship. This trip will bebeautiful beyond words yet rest-ful or stimulating according toyour individual mood, on thatevening. After a panorama ofChicago's night skyline we re-turn to the Drake.

Busses will pick us up at theDrake on Saturday morning andtake us directly to the Exposi-tion. Here we will be officiallywelcomed by the Exposition offi-cials and then the Expositions isyours to do with as you prefer.

At the Milwaukee convention,the Drake Hotel will be repre-sented so that you may registerand forward your baggage sothat it will be in your roomwaiting for you and you needsimply to call for your room keyon arrival. The various trans-portation methods also will berepresented so that on your ar-rival there will be no time-con-suming details to bother you.

We will have a wonderful Ex-position in a wonderful city.The Chicago Osteopathic Associ-ation wants and urges you to en-joy both and we want to makeyour enjoyment even more near-ly complete.-E. R. Haskins, D.0.

New Dietetic PrinciplesFor Tuberculosis

(By Ava L. Johnson, B. H. Ec.,B. S., M. S.)

(Continued from Last Issue)Returning to the discussion

of the Jefferson Hospital re-search, the workers found thatin handling cases in which mal-nutrition had proceeded the oc-currence of definite tubercularsymptoms for about one year,increase of caloric value in thetreatment diet favored a gain ofweight. In malnutrition oflonger duration before the treat-ment began, supplementary feed-ing of cod liver oil in some con-centrated form influenced thedeposition of fat. They also re-ported that there was a reducedincidence of intercurrent respir-atory infections in the majorityof tubercular patients whogained weight.

The effect of minerals on thenutritional level and manifesta-tions these workers found in-constant, except in the cases whocould not take milk. In thesethe use of the mineral com-pounds seemed to decrease thecoughing and expectoration. Itis the conclusion of Gordon andTai that just so much mineralcan be used and feeding morehas no physiological value.

There was no indication inany instance that a high caloricintake influenced specifically thedeposition of lime salts or offibrous tissues.

Yeast had no effect upon nu-trition.

Those who gained in weightsuffered less frequently from un-toward accompanying manifesta-tions. For instance, an under-nourished woman, when thesurrounding temperature in-creased 40-60 degrees with anincrease in humidity, wouldwithin 24 hours show markedincrease in sweating, decrease inurine, decrease in expectoration,rise in temperature, pain inchest, weakness, etc. Sixmonths later, after she hadmade a 19 kilogram gain, sherarely showed any of those man-ifestations upon similar changesin environment. There was nomarked change in the tubercu-lar condition accompanying thisgain, however.

From their study Gordon andTai decided that induced over-nutrition is helpful in carryingthe infection, perhaps only be-cause it provides the body withinsulation and greater fluid re-serve with which to meet ex-ternal variations.

Last spring Dr. Hildebrand ofMilwaukee, Wisconsin, made areport of findings relative to theuse of fat in the tubercular diet.He concludes it should bestressed, because the tuberclebacillus does not grow well inorgans which are rich in un-saturated fat. E. Wolfe has con-tributed that in addition to the'important role of fat in specificand non-specific immunity, theliquid bodies bind toxins, destroybacteria, stimulate fermentativeprocesses, favor the depositions

of proteins and increase blood

liquids. The relation of cholest-

erol metabolism to the tubercu-

lar condition has been suggestedand it is true that blood cho-lestrol is low during the infec-tion. Furthermore the greaterthe resistance to tuberculosis,the greater the cholesterol con-tent of the blood. Racial historyshows that those people on ahigh fat diet whose living condi-tions also include out door lifeand sunshine, have low tubercu-lar history. Rickets and tuber-culosis occur together in a highpercentage of cases and animalsin which the rachitic conditionhas been induced show a highsusceptibility to tuberculosis.Weston, after making a thoroughsurvey of the subject says thatprotein and animal fats are im-portant in rickets and he hasrepeatedly observed that wherethe diet predominates in animalfood, rickets is rare or non-ex-istent. McCollum reads the his-tory of foods and civilizationand says, "Where meat anddairy products make up' thelarger proportion of the diet, thephysical development is excel-lent When people become agri-cultural: when cereals. grains.

tubers, become the most profit-able form of food, there is phys-

ical deterioration, s t u n t e dgrowth, bad teeth and bones,susceptibility to tuberculosis andso forth." Such studies lead usto believe that restriction of ani-mal foods and stressing thevegetable can be and perhaps hasbeen overdone. For physicalwelfare it is better to eat suffi-cient quantities of animal pro-tein and fats at least until theage of 35. After that age per-haps because of the easy assimi-lation and deposition of fat inmost individuals from that timeon, the susceptibility to and in-cidence of tuberculosis dimin-ishes markedly.

In the Archives of Podiatricsof the spring of 1932, Peterman,Hug and Calusen give a de-tailed report of nutrition of sickchildren. With regard to tuber-culosis in children their studyleads to the following conclu-sions. The diet for childrenshould exceed the basal require-ment as calculated upon thebasis of normal or expected aver-age weight, about 50%. It isbest supplied in concentratedfood. The ideal diet gives abasic ash, high vitamine and

ligh mineral content and is at-ractive in every way possible.The NaCI allowance, these menind, is not important.

Late in the summer of '31Graysel, Thear and Kramer re-ported to the American Reviewof Tuberculosis a study upon theeffect of vitamine D in bone tu-berculosis. They studied 18children of the average age ofeight years. All were given awell balanced diet, adequate inall of the food essentials includ-ing vitamines. The daily menuran: 1 egg, 75-100 grams ofmeat or fish, a minimum of onequart of milk, 30 grams of but-ter, at least 220 grams of cookedvegetables, 100 grams raw veg-etables in salads, etc., 3 fruitsone of them an orange, a bowl ofcereal, bread or crackers, soup,50-100 grams of potatoes and achoice of one of the following:macaroni, spaghetti, creamed po-tatoes, sardines, salmon. All ofthem had daily 2 tablespoons ofprepared maltine and cod liveroil.

Nine of the patients weretreated in addition with irradi-ated ergosteral. Four milli-grams were given daily forfour mlonths, 7 milligrams dailyfor 3 months. This preparationin oil is equivalent to about 130ccs of potent cod liver oil. Atthe end of the year, those whohad been treated with the con-centrated D vitamine showed nostriking improvement in the con-dition of the bone. The additionof vitamine D to an already wellbalanced diet.showed no appre-ciable effect. Nor did it effectthe patients adversely. Therewas no toxic reaction which isoften reported for viosterol;there was no increase in the nor-mal concentration of serum cal-cium and phosphorus. Their re-port leads to the conclusion thatwith vitamines as with minerals,enough is enough and more iseliminated.

The compelte study of the sit-uation leads to some such sum-mary as follows: Diet in tuber-culosis must vary with the pa-tient and his nutritive history;it must be governed by the phy-sicians clinical judgment; whilevalue is to be found in a slightgain of weight, nothing in casehistories justifies over-stuffingjust for gain of weight; vita-mines, fats alkaline and productfoods are important; and onemust never forget that diet isbut one phase of the treatment.Rest, psychic content and thevery great value of osteopathictreatment in stimulating repairand improving resistance allmust come in for their appropri-ate and important share of con-sideration.

Why Not?"By the way," said a lawyer

drawing up a will, "I notice youhave mentioned six bankers aspall bearers. Wouldn't yourather choose some friends withwhom you are on better terms?"

"No, that's all right," was thequick reply, "Those fellows havecarried me so long they might aswell finish the job."

LOG BOOKPUBLISHED MONTHLY BY THE DES MOINES STILL COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY

Volume 10 JUNE 15, 1933 Number 6

The Log Book and TheI. 0. A. Bulletin

With this issue of the LogBook we begin the publicationof official news of the Iowa Os-teopathic Association. The LogBook feels as if it has acquiredjust a little more dignity andresponsibility with this addition.It came about this way.

For some time the "Bulletin"has been extremely difficult toassemble. Until you edit such apaper you have no conception ofthe amount of real work involv-ed. It is an expensive processand a thankless one even whena success. With the past diffi-culties of the association in mindthe Trustees of the college inregular session May 5th, 1933,recorded the following on itsbooks: "It was moved and sec-onded that the services of theLog Book be offered to the IowaOsteopathic Association as theirofficial Bulletin for such time asthey see fit to use it."

This was unanimously accept-ed by the Association in regularmeeting Wednesday, May 24th.Dr. Paul French was continuedas editor and each month willfurnish such news as will be col-lected, edited and approved bythe association.

By this arrangement the en-tire mailing list of the Log Bookwill know officially what is go-ing on in the Iowa State Associ-ation. Iowa has had legislativetrouble, and more is to come.You will be informed each monthas to the progress made alongthis line. You will also knowwhat Iowa Osteopaths are doingalong other lines. The state as-sociation can use the money pre-viously spent for a "Bulletin"for some other cause but witha continued news service ex-panded to every state in the

Fraternities Close Year

The closing days of the pastsession were busy in many waysPacking, studying, cramming foifinals, banquets, picnics, fare-well parties, and what not wereexperienced at every fraternityhouse connected with the Col-lege.

Annual Senior banquets wereheld by the honorary fratcrnities as well as all the social fraternities. Spring dances werEheld by some and a few held picnics. Those staying behind fo:summer clinic bid farewell untifall to those going home-an<the Seniors bid all goodby untitheir ever welcome return t(their Alma Mater.

A Year of Progress

Another college year has clos-ed and we hesitate for a momentand look back to see just whathas been done during that time.We have at hand two reportsthat are too lengthy to be pub-lished in full but are and shouldbe interesting to the profession.

The certified Public Account-ant has finished his inspection ofthe books of the College and inhis resume at the close of thedetailed report he complimentsthe work of the trustees veryhighly. The College did notlose money during the past year.This is indeed a remarkablerecord as compared with the ma-jority of colleges here in Iowasome of which have had to closetheir doors and others have hadto appeal to the alumni andother sources in order to con-tinue.

Consider this with the factthat every department of thecollege has improved, added toits equipment, extended thehours of work and paid its fac-ulty each month.

We have never had a yearwith fewer complaints. Thoseof you who know nothing aboutthe management of a studentbody and a faculty cannot real-ize the satisfaction the trusteesfeel at the end of this year'swork. It has been a hard yearon the students, for Still Collegedoes not accept notes for tui-tion and we wish to complimentthe student body for their loyalefforts and many sacrifices theyhave made to fulfill their obli-gations to the college.

Even with the fact of a re-duced income for the year thetrustees have several times exer-cised their perogative in the se-lection of students, some beingrefused registration. Still Col-lege is proud of its student bodyand is making every effort tcproduce Osteopaths who willpractice Osteopathy and prove tobe a credit to the profession.

t Still College has met and wil- continue to meet the require-rments of the A. O. A. and the

State of Iowa. It is your col-lege. What constructive criti-cism have you to offer?

Corporate Board Meets;Re-elects Trustees

The business of Still Collegeis conducted throughout theyear by seven trustees. How-ever these are elected each yearby the Corporate Board of theCollege at a meeting held nearthe close of the school year.This year the Board convenedthe 29th of May.

The routine business of re-ports of officers was given closeattention by all present. Thefinancial report was of specialinterest and highly gratifyingfor the treasurer's report show-ed that the College camethrough an extremely difficultyear with the balance in favorof the College.

To summarize the reports ofthe year we might say that theywere .all very satisfactory andshowed plainly the sincere workof the trustees individually andas a group. As a reward forthis service they were re-electedfor the coming year with theunanimous approval of theboard. A few minor changeswere made and suggested at themeeting which will be carriedout during the coming year.

The control and selection of-the student body was discussedand the past actions of theboard in related matters wascommended highly.

Still College has been a suc-cess this past year and looks for-ward to greater success in thefuture. Sincere, unselfish, realwork on the part of the trusteesand the faculty together with aresponsive student body hasmade this possible.

We know that those of you.who have sent students to StillCollege are glad to have thisgood report. The trustees inturn are appreciative of yoursupport and will continue to im-prove the college as rapidly as

t funds will allow. More studentsmean a greater college in its

s ability to serve not only locallybut the entire country with whatthe people want, Osteopathy.

THE LOG BOOK

Tigers-White Sox Clash

An exciting event of the clos-ing week of the past semesterwas the annual Tiger-White Soxbaseball series. Each year Dr.L. L. Facto gets together base-ball aspirants and forms theWhite Sox team which then andthere issues a challenge to anyor all-and then the fun begins.

This year the Tigers, a teammostly composed of members ofthe Iota Tau Sigma team, metthe White Sox in a two gameknock down and drag out atBirdland Park. The Tigers wonthe first game 7 to 5 while theWhite Sox more than got theirrevenge when they pounced onthe Tigers two days later to thetune of an 18 to 3 win. Dr.Facto still has his wrist in abandage as a result of a pitchedball but says that the fun wascertainly worth the effort. Ofthe dangerous positions held byvarious persons, the two um-pires most certainly held theprecarious positions-it is ru-mored that insurance companiescancelled several policies on as-piring umpires.

The White Sox team was com-posed of Dr. L. L. Facto, W.Facto, Douglas, Niehaus, Steph-ens, D. Johnson, Frasier, Crewsand Gulden.

The Tigers were representedby Hubbard, Beghtal, McLaugh-lin, Herbert, Potter, Johnson,Pohl, Whetstine and Gerow.

Both teams substituted liberal-ly from the bleachers when ne-cessity demanded. Even thewater boy got to bat in the sec-ond game of the series. Witha win apiece, the two teams de-cided to argue it out in a vacantclass room while nursing soremuscles rather than have a showdown game on the baseball dia-mond. Perhaps the real champ-pions will never be known-'tisbetter so-this way each feelssuperior and no one is disap-pointed.

Marriage

At least one of our May grad-uates believes that a wife is anasset to a young physician juststarting in practice. Dr. Har-old Withrow of the May classand Miss Frances Barnes of Mil-waukee, were married Gradua-tion Week here in Des Moines.The ceremony was performedMay 29, in spite of the efforts ofhis fraternity brothers, whose"helpful" actions were many andvaried. The College wishes theDoctor and wife every success.

I W. -A. uiktinBy DR. PAUL FRENCH,

Sec.-Treas. I. O. A.To Still College, Dr. Halladay,

and the Editor of the Log Book,the Iowa Osteopathic Associationcan only say, "Thank you" fortheir gerous offer of the LogBook as official Bulletin of theSociety "for such time as theysee fit to use it." We trust thisspirit on the part of the Collegemay be returned in full by theSociety and that the two workingtogether can, in the spirit of co-operation, do much for the ad-vancement of Osteopathy in thisstate.

No Society news would at thistime be complete with a fewwords concerning the 35th an-nual convention held at the Ft.Des Moines Hotel, Des Moin'es,May 23-24. The attendance wasexcellent, better than last yearand the Banquet was better at-tended than last year. To. Dr.F. A. Gordon of Marshalltowngoes the credit for a well-ar-ranged program and one carriedcout on schedule. Many were thecomments heard of his programand, the way he introduced hisspeakers. More power to theDoctor and may his services bein demand in the future. ToDr. S. H. Klein of Des Moinesgoes the credit for the splendidbanquet program and arrange-ments. Dr. R. B. Gilmour, SiouxCity was toastmaster and in hisshort and witty introductions thespeakers took their "tip" anddidn't talk themselves to bore-dom and all that goes to make abanquet a "Real Banquet."

The Business Meeting andelection of officers should re-ceive careful attention and theattendance this year was indeedencouraging of the interest tak-en in Society matters. In thespirit of the "New Deal" ofwhich we are hearing so muchlately the Trustees informed theretiring president, Dr. R. R.Pearson of Muscatine, that theywould not make nominations butwould have all nominations forofficers come from the floor ofthe Convention. This resultedin Dr. A. W. Clow of Washing-ton being elected president andDr. Laura Cousins Miller of Adelbeing elected vice president. Thesecretary-treasurer being elect-ed by the Trustees, they saw fitto again inflict our services uponthe Society. Outside of the usu-al routine business before theConvention perhaps two majormotions we're carried at thebusiness meeting. One that thenewly elected president be em-powered to appoint a committeeto either revise or amend thepresent state constitution. Atthe time of this writing we havenot been informed if such com-mittee has been appointed or not.The other thing of importanceand interest is that copies of allTrustee meetings be mailed .toMEMBERS of the Society.

The chairman of the Legisla-tive Committee gave a detailedreport and the future programof the Society was explained in

full detail both by the chairmanand by the man hired to repre-sent us. This man will call onthose in the state in a short timeand if unable to have attendedthe Convention will give a re-port of the Society activities.The Society at the Businessmeeting sanctioned his activi-ties and we would bespeak ut-most co-operation upon our part.

Thanx!To have a successful college

year it is necessary to gain theco-operation of every man inevery department of the school.The Board of Trustees and theadministration in general feelthat student assistants in thevarious departments have con-tributed in no small degree tothe splendid showing and ad-vancement the College has madethis past year. Therefore theywish to thank the following peo-ple for fulfilling their positionsin such a fine spirit of co-opera-tion.

Laboratory assistants Owen,Irwin, Morgan and Hecker.Anatomy assistant Allen. Thetwenty-four hour service offeredobstetrical patients registered inthe Obstetrical Clinic has madeit necessary to keep four stu-dents in constant attendance inthe telephone room of the Ob-stetrical Clinic. Those servingthis past year have been Moore,Baird, Wooster and Morrison.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

Why Not?Dr. Charles A. Champlin,

chairman of the Committee onEthics of the Arkansas Osteo-pathic Association, in his annualreport at the 1933 convention,said:

"I find the osteopathic physi-cians of- the state in general,ethically loyal to each other ingeneral conduct, but ethicallyloyal to the state ossociation inso far as they support it by theirmemberships. In other wordsa practitioner can scarcely beconnsidered fully ethicallv lovalto his profession and the advanceof that profession unless he sup-ports it both morally and finan-cially in legal, legislative andassociational matters.

"The main objects of state andnational associations are the fos-tering of social and professionalcontacts of colleagues. Thereshould be only two reasons thatcould ethically excuse an osteo-pathic physician from member-ship in a state and national or-ganization, namely, financial in-ability to pay, or retirementfrom practice. In either in-stance, I would suggest that sucha doctor be placed either on thecharity roll or the honor roll athis request without payment ofannual dues."

D. M. S. C.O. ClinicsTHE CLINICAL DEPARTMENT is one of the most important

departments of any school of therapeutics. In this city of150,000 people, Osteopathy is kindly received and our clinics arefull the year around with patients receiving treatment in the var-ious clinics of the College. Here our students are taught how toexamine, diagnose and treat under the supervision of the heads ofthe various departments. It is in these clinics that the studentlearns to corelate theory and actual practice . . . . actual cases, nottheoretical cases. We are justly proud of our clinics. The specialclinics include Gynecological, Obstetrical, Surgical, Practice, Eye,Ear, Nose and Throat, Nervous and Mental, Cardiovascular, Respir-atory, Renal, Athletic, and the Out-Patient Department.

The Obstetrical Clinic averages about 250 cases yearly, inwhich the student has a minimum of seven cases he must attendpersonally. Deliveries are made by the student, under the super-vision of the head of the department.

The Athletic Clinic takes care of all athletic teams in all thecity high schools and one academy located here. Athletic injuriesare treated at the time they occur by the student assigned to thatparticular team.

The Out-Patient Department trains the student in the care ofacute cases and is conducted under the supervision of one of thefaculty.

THE FACULTY of this College are selected yearly by the Board of Trustees and serve on a salary basis.They are, therefore, regular in their work, prepared and present at each class meeting. We boast of

specialists in each department who devote the major portion of their time to the College and not to outsideinterests. In keeping with customary practice, the Trustees have approved a number of Associate Profess-ors, members of'the profession in the city, who offer occasional lectures and conduct special clinics. Thefact that our faculty has been practically intact for a number of years is conclusive evidence that they aregiving the utmost in service and satisfaction.

ORGANIZATIONS of an academic and social nature are to be found in the College. Men's fraternitiesrepresented are the Iota Tau Sigma, Phi Sigma Gamma, and Atlas Club. Delta Omega sorority has

a chapter here. Honorary professional fraternities here are Sigma Sigma Phi and Psi Sigma Alpha.

Last year the Clinic examined368 patients during the weekand early indications demon-strate that a great number ofthese same people will returnfor a check up this year. TheAssociation has obtained thesame rooms held last year, inthe Exposition Building.

Departments included in thisyear's clinics are Eye, Ear, Noseand Throat, Thoracic, NervousDiseases, Abdominal and Pelvic,Structural and Feet, DiagnosticEvaluation, Laboratory, Surgery,and Records from cases handledlast year.

History sheets of regulationA. O. A. will be used during theclinic. Physicians desiring toregister patients are asked to ge,in communication with Dr. F. A.Gordon at Marshalltown so thata day may be assigned for thepatient's examination.

Pledges have been generallyreceived, overhead has been re-duced and many appointmentshave been made, but there isstill need of pledges before theactual budget is assured. Thisclinic is a part of your profes-sion and deserves your support.

Babies

The Obstetrical Departmenthas just hung up a record theCollege is well proud of. SinceJanuary 2 to August 7, the De-partment delivered 182 ;cases,four of which were twins.

From July 7 to July 13, inclu-sive, 16 cases were deliveredwith one of the total a twin case.Between 5 a. m. and 11:30 p.m. the department delivered 6cases on July 9. During themonth of July the departmenthandled 36 deliveries.

Students staying over the sum-mer have been mor than re-warded for the time they havestayed. General Clinic has beenrunning to capacity as well asthe Obstetrical Department. Stu-dents have seen a wide variety ofcases during the summer months.

The Milwaukee Meeting

To me the most outstandingfeature of the 1933 conventionwas the work done by 'the com-mittee on technic terminology.It was my pleasure and privilegeto act on this committee and therest of the convention. was .rou-tine to me. This work was real-ly inspiring and it would havebeen a fine thing for 'the wholeprofession to have been thereand listened in on the two daysof real labor and effort given bythis group. Each college wasrepresented and when the clos-ing hour came we were unani-mous in our ideas and all happyin the thought that perhaps wehad really accomplished some-thing.

The arrangements at the con-vention proper were satisfactorybut there seemed to be a lack ofbreathing space. If many morehad attended, the place wouldhave been a jam. The localcommittees were on Ithe job allthe time and are to be congrat-ulated for their constant effortsto please everyone. The pro-gram was too heavy. Entirelytoo much was undertaken andthose attending were dizzy bymidafternoon. Instead of ourconvention program being a postgraduate course it seems to methat it should be resumes ofadvances .made during the yearand talks stressing the principlesof Osteopathy as applied tothose things that are of mostinterest to the profession. Thisapplying principally to the vari-ous sections.

The program for the collegeswas entirely itoo heavy. Un-doubtedly there is much to bedone along this line but it can-not all be done in one year.

I heard many complain aboutthe entertainment offered. Witha better balanced program andwith a little more time forbreathing some outside air I amsure that more will be pleased.

The reunion was a very pleas--ant one and memories of pastcollege days were discussed. Wewere especially happy to see thegraduates of 1901 and 1902 and1910 and 1911; these elumnimembers continue -to show theirdeep regard for their alma mater.Plans were made to have a muchlarger reunion at Wichita in1934 and arrangements for thealumni breakfast will be made inadvance of the convention withthe pubishing of the same in thecollege Log Book.

Following the breakfast Dr.L. Verna Simons of Grand Rap-ids, Mich., gave a very fine re-view of a case of Acrodynia re-cently treated in her practice andan informal discussion followed.

In going over the alumnimembers present at the break-fast we find that everyone ofthem are listed in the A. O. A.directory as members. This cer-tainly speaks well for the alum-nus ef D.M.S.C.O.

The College ExpandsUrged by the need of more

space and with the opportunityoffered this year,

J AY,: tth.e college is in" \ t he midst of an ex-

pansion programthat will add muchto the advantagesof Still.

WE DO OUR PA The first floor isto be rearranged enlarging boththe Chemistry and Anatomy lab-oratory. In order ito do so thePhysiology laboratory will bemoved to the fourth floor.

Additional space for treatmentrooms will be taken over on thesecond floor.

The Projectoscope room willbe enlarged on the third floorand the coat room placed here,which will make it much moreconvenient for the student body.

THE LOG BOOK

Dr. J. B. Eades Dies

"Editor, The Log Book,Des Moines, Iowa.

Dear Sir:My brother Dr. James B.

Eades, Bluefield, W. Va., passedaway June 19th at 12:30 p. m.,in St. Luke's Hospital, Bluefield,death being attributed to ab-scess of the brain. Funeralservices at 9:30 a. m.,, BlandSt. Methodist Church, Bluefield,Wednesday, June 21st, intermentin Fairview Cemetery, Roanoke,Va., with Masonic rites.

Dr. Eades was born in Roan-oke, February 7th, 1892, 41years of age, and leaves his wifeand two children, James B., Jr.,age 9, and Betty Belle, age 6,also six brothers and three sis-ters, and father who has beenbedfast for over four months.

After attending church Sundaymorning Mrs. Eades left forRoanoke for a few days visit andDr. Eades accompanied by hislittle girl and her playmate, vis-ited J. B., Jr., who was in aScout camp. He played differ-ent games with the boys and latein the evening started for home.A few miles out of Bluefield heparked the car and told the girlshe would be back in a few min-utes. The minutes passed intoseveral hours and his little girlbecame alarmed after no re-sponse from her calls and shehailed a passing motorist. Af-ter a long search he was foundsemi-conscious in a ruggedthicket about 300 feet from themountain road. He lost con-sciousness a few hours after ar-riving at ithe hospital and re-mained unconscious to the end.

Brother is a graduate of theA. S. O., Kirksville, and the At-las Club, being a graduate ofclass of 1918.

After leaving college he en-listed in the navy and served forthe duration of nearly a year,later entering college in Chicagofor one year's work in Eye, Ear,Nose and Throat. He visited D.M.S.C.O. in 1924 while I was astudent there, and is well knownto Drs. Joe and J. P. Schwartz,H. J. Marshall and H. V. Halla-day.

Besides his affiliation inKirksville he is a member of theabove church, the Masonicbodies, American Legion, the A.O. A. and the West Virginia Os-teopathy Society, being a pastpresident and trustee of the lat-ter. He took an active part inLegislative affairs, and is par-ticularly responsible for the goodlaws pertaining to Osteopathy inthis state. He is known through-out the state, having practicedin Bluefield for the past twelveyears. He was loved and re-spected by all that knew him andI'm sure he will be greatly miss-ed.

His death was a great shockto us because he was a devotedhusband and father, and verbclose to his father, brothers andsisters. Our mother precededhim to the grave in 1916. Ma]God Bless him.

Sincerely,Dr. Ernest T. Eades."

edition. The many advantagesof such a system need not bementioned.

Students returning to StillCollege or entering for the firsttime will find a very different ar-ranigement from what they ex-pected. 'The work of all depart-ments will be facilitated and im-proved. This applies particu-larly to the laboratory work thecapacity for which will be twicethat of last year.

The prospects for the comingyear are very encouraging andwe realize ;that we needed moreroom. Still College is now in abetter condition than ever be-fore ito serve the profession inthe teaching and demonstratingof Osteopathy. With these add-ed features of expansion youcannot help but appreciate theadvantages of new and betterequipment, a stable, efficientfaculty and clinics unsurpassedin all departments.

Round Trip Fares For

College Students

The railroads operating in theterritory west of Chicago, St.Louis, Memphis, Vicksburg, andNew Orleans, and east of theestern boundary lines of Cali-fornia, Nevada, Oregon andWashington, have adopted a newplan, which, it is believed willbe of particular interest to stu-dents, teachers and others at-tending universities, colleges,preparatory schools and othereducational institutions-com-nencing with the Fall term of1933.

The plan provides for the saleof round-trip excursion ticketsfrom any home station to anypoint at which a university, col-lege, preparatory school or othereducational is located; tickets tobe sold on basis of one and one-third fare (of the one-way faresin effect May 1, 1933) for theround trip, or, approximately2.4c per mile in each direction.

The fares will apply for first-class tickets, and will be hon-ored in sleeping cars and par-lor cars, upon paymnt of theusual charge for accommoda-tions occupied in such cars.

The new plan provides, forexample, that round-trip ticketsmay be purchased prior to theopening of the educational insti-tution, commencing the latterpart of August and continuingthrough the month of Septem-ber, and round-trip tickets soldat that time will be good for re-turn passage at Christmas-time;or, if not used at Christmas-time, at spring vacation time;or, if not used at spring vacationtime, will be good for return pas-sage at the close of the schoolin June.

In those cases where ticketspurchased at the opening of theschool are used for return atChristmas-time, the students,teachers, etc., may obtain otherreduced-rate-return tickets onbasis of fare and one-third whenthey are ready 'to return toschool at the close of the Cris-t-mas vacation, and the ticketsthen purchased will be good forreturn at spring vacation timeor, if not used at that time, willbe good for return at the closeof the school year. Should thestudent or teacher use the re-turn portion of his ticket atspring vacation time, reducedrate of fare and one-third willagain be available from the per-son's home to 'the city in whichthe educational institution is lo-cated-tickets being on sale atthe close of *the spring vacationperiod, and such tickets will thenbe good for return when theschool closes.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

Can Doctor Be Alert andStill Do His Duty?

To the Open Forum Editor:To the average doctor engag-

ed in active practice, discussionon the "high cost of medicalcare" must appear more or lessirrelevant if not altogether iron-ical. From all the fuss made inthis connection, one might drawthe conclusion that doctors areactually paid in full for the workthey do.

The high cost of productionwithout realizing 5 per cent onthe investment is not cbnfined toagriculture. Parents who havefinanced a son through a mod-ern medical school will also ap-preciate the full significance ofthis fashionable phrase. 'More-over, they are probably notaware to what extent they areindebted to a tax burdened pub-lic.

In your issue of May 21,Charles Mayne, Griswold, ad-vises members of the medicaland dental professions to imitate"alert business men." In otherwords, he proposes to reduce thepractce of medicine to a soundeconomic basis. That is a fineidea but it will not work.

With "alert business men,"the primary consideration isprofit. The recovery of his pa-tient is a physician's first con-cern. According to Oliver Wen-dell Holmes, whenever this prin-ciple is reversed, the transac-tion amounts to nothing morethan quackery.

"Alert business men" insist onsecurity for number one. Cashon or before delivery is theiraxiom. But how can a doctorask for his fee in advance whenthe situation involves the reliefof pain and the saving of humanlife? When a joy ride ends intragedy, is it feasible for thesurgeon to wait with his minis-trations until the proper finan-cial arrangements have beenmade?

As a matte of fact, here wehave 'to deal with factors thatsimply can not be reconciled withany scheme based on sound busi-ness principles. A patient can-not balance his account with adoctor who has saved his life.Obviously, the scientist who pre-sumes to prolong life or to al-leviate human suffering, assumesresponsibilities that transcend alleconomic calculation.

Consequently, there is no log-ical escape from the "high ideal-ism of service to suffering hu-manity."

We wonder if "the teaching

profession in public institutions"has not been seriously handi-capped by lay dictation and po-litical interference. Is state con-trol of education such a howl-ing success? The socializationof medical practice has beentried on the continent and inEngland. It has not promotedthe best interests of patients,Bureaucracy is a poor substitutefor private initiative in any lineof endeavor.

"Alert business .men" do notlook so good just now. Greedand disloyalty as exhibited evenby international "big shots" haveabout ruined the country.

Observers whose conception ofvalues in everything is deter-mined exactly by the cold logicof dollars and cents are in noposition to give sound advice tothe medical and dental profes-sions.

While insisting that the prac-tice of medicine should, be placedon 'a sound economic basis, thesecritics resent the suggestion ofdisinterested motives and unsel-fish actions.

The less a doctor thinks aboutbusiness, so-called, the better itis for his patients and for him-self. In decent medical prac-tice, pain and despair cannot beexploited for personal gain.

We submit the propositionthat the average regular medi-cal practitioner will stand formore imposition and abuse thanany other rational creature.-(Des Moines Register.)

Dr. Pieron Capturesthe 'Sandman'

Chicago, Ill.-When your eye-lids begin to get heavy and youyearn for a comfortable bed-it means that "hypnotoxin" isgathering in your brain.

This strange substance, "hyp-notoxin," which seems to bebuilt up by the body as a re-sult of sleepiness, was explainedSunday by Dr. Henri Pieron, sci-entist of the University of Paris,France, here for the two weeks'summer meeting of the Ameri-can Association for the Advance-ment of Science.

Dr. Pieron has succeeded inisolating "hypnotoxin" from thebrains and spinal fluids of ani-mals after they have gone forsome time without sleep. It ap-parently accumulates in the brainas a result of lack of sleep.

The qualities of hypnotoxin asa sleep producer were proved byDr. Pieron by injecting some ofit into both sleepy animals andanimals 'that had just awakenedfrom a sound, refreshing sleep.The wideawake animals weremade sleepy at once; those al-ready sleepy became more so.

When a sleepy animal is al-lowed Ito sleep, the hypnotoxindisappears. Apparently it is oxi-dized or "burned up" duringsleep.

Monday Ithe association opensthe second week of its 12-daysummer session here, probablyone of the largest gatherings ofscientists ever held.

The vacancy on the Board ofTrustees caused by the electionof Dr. Clow ito the Presidencyhas been filed by the officers andTrustees of Ithe Third District inthe appointment of Dr. J. WRhinsbarger of Keosauqua to fillout 'the unexpired term of DrClow. Dr. Proctor of Ames hasreconsidered his resignation andwill fill out his unexpired itermon the Board.

Word has been received of theappointment by Governor Her-ring of Dr. H. B. Willard ofManchester to 'his second termon the Osteopathic Board of Ex-aminers. The other members ofthe Board are Dr. Sherman Oppof Creston and Dr. C. W. Gordonof Sioux City.

The following opinions fromthe office of the State AttorneyGeneral may prove of interest tothe state. The first dealing with"Health officer of local board.(Section 2231) Each local boardshall have a health officer whoshall be a physician, or one spe-cially trained in public hygieneand sanitation. In cities andtowns the health physician shallbe such health officer. In everyother case Ithe local board shallappoin't said health officer whoshall hold office during its pleas-ure." The office of the Attor-ney General states, "You willnote that the health officer shallbe a physician or one speciallytrained in public hygiene andsanitation. In the opinion of thewriter, relative Ito the clause re-garding training in public hy-giene and sanitation, it is broadand would undoubtedly allowthe appointment of an osteopath-ic physician to ithis position."

Again- ("Section 8671) Pol-icy Provisions for Medical Exam-ination. The Commissioner ofInsurance shall decline to ap-prove any such form of policyor contract of insurance unlessthe same shall, in all respectsconform to the laws of this state,applicable thereto, and unlessthe issuance of the same is basedupon a satisfactory Medical ex-amination of the applicant by aphysician duly authorized topractice medicine or an Osteo-pathic Physician duly authoriz-ed to practice Osteopathy in thestate of Iowa, or the state whereexamined, and no policy or con-tract of insurance shall be issuedby any insurance company to anyindividual in this state unlesssuch examination shall have beenpassed and duly approved by themedical examiner or medicalboard of such company."

PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY THE DES MOINES STILL COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY

Volume 10 SEPTEMBER 15, 1933 Number 9

Our Athletic (linicI have just made the annual

fall trip around the circuit to seesix football coaches in DesMoines and vicinity. They tellthe same story this year that Ihave heard now for severalyears. "Certainly we want yourboys out here working with ourteam. When can you send themout? Yes, we already have sev-eral cases of Charlie Horse and.some- other' things for :'yoU totake care of and be sure to getsomeone out here tomorrow forwe have a game Saturday."

Nine years ago we started theorganization of the AthleticClinic at Still College. We soonfound it necessary to add to ouralready crowded lecture list acourse in the diagnosis and treat-ment of injuries peculiar tosports of all kinds. The successof Osteopathic treatment first ap-plied to football quickly extendedto the other sports in highschool and in local circles.

In 1930 in Philadelphia wehelped in the organization of theAthletic Section of the A. O. A.and the attendance at its meet-ings since has proved the inter-est of the profession and theneed for more service along thisparticular line.

During the past week I haveseen over 500 high school boyswho are out for football. Seniorstudents are assigned to Itheseteams and take care of the in-juries that we know in advancewill result from their scrimmageand play. Nine years of workwith these boys have taught ussomething and we hope we willcontinue to learn. The reallybig feature of this work is thefact that every Senior graduat-ing from Still College can spendas much time as he desires gain-ing experience in this specialty.One of our Seniors last yearspent the entire year with oneof 'the teams. From football hetook the boys through wrestling,swimming, basketball, track andbaseball. He gave over onethousand treatments along withhis minor surgery and emer-gency cases of many types. Ifyou could buy this student'sknowledge it would be cheap ata thousand dollars and many ofyou would be glad to give thatsum for such an experience ashe has had.

Suppose you were attendingschool again. Where would youattend college and why? To usin Des Moines, a course of Oste-opathy without adequate clinicsof this type is an incompletecourse. The popularity of thiswork is spreading and in the

Fair Clinic Successful

Again Osteopathy gainedstrides in the minds of the publicwhen the Iowa Osteopathic As-sociation held its second annualadult health clinic at the IowaState Fair, just closed.

Hours of examination wereshortened this year by an houreach day and with that in mindthe 322 patients examined showsthat the staff was more thanbusy the seven days of the clinic.Of those examinations 185 pa-'tients had never had any pre-vious contact with the osteopath-ic profession. Those people leftthe examining rooms well satis-fied.

A fine exhibit of all the va-rious schools in the professionwas shown as well as photo-graphs of the exteriors and in-teriors of various hospitals andsanataria. The exhibits werecrowded with interested specta-tors at all hours and questionsasked were answered by thechairman of exhibits.

Visitors of national promi-nence during the week includeDr. George Laughlin, Kirksville,Missouri, Dr. A. D. Becker, pastpresident, A. 0. A., Dr GeorgeConnelly, first vife president,A. O. A., and Dr. Margaret Jonesof the Kansas City College ofOsteopathy.

Every patient was given acomplete physical examinationand thoroughness was the key-note of the entire clinic-everydepartment making a thoroughdepartmental examination. Di-

agnostic evaluations were thenmade and the patient advised asto treatment.

Practically every member ofthe faculty of 'the College par-ticipated during the week, withDr. L. L. Facto acting as Chiefof Staff of the entire clinic. Stu-dents were chosen to act as con-ductors and were amply repaidfor their work by the number ofunusual cases they noted.

Many patients that attendedthe clinic held last year returnedfor a thorough check-up thisyear. It is the plan of the IowaAssociation to make- this clinican annual affair. Many patientswere anxious to make appoint-ments during the session thisyear for the anticipated clinicnext year. Many patients wereturned away because of theshortness of the time-manymore patients than could pos-sibly have been taken care ofwere in attendance.

Approximately fifty Iowaphysicians attended the clinicand were more than repaid fortheir work in the vast quantityof various types of cases ob-served. These men and womengave their time from their of-fices and had a good time doingit and all returned to theirhomes feeling more than everthat the public is day by day be-coming more sold on' the factthat an osteopath is a full fledgedphysician whose therapy giveshim just a little more than anyother school of therapy-barnone.

School OpensAgain D.Vg.S.C.O. is favored

with a fine fall enrollment. Thenew registration shows a fineincrease over that of last semes-ter. The new class even have afine group of co-eds in theirroster.

Quite remarkable to school of-ficials is the number of studentswho have returned after havingbeen out of classes for severalyears-one- returning after anabsence of six years. Thisproves conclusively that our stu-;dents are satisfied with the in-struction that they receive herein our classes.

A larger number of transferstudents from other OsteopathicColleges are in attendance thisyear showing that the fame ofour clinics have reached fromcoast to coast. The majority ofthese students are upper divisionmen who have come here to takeadvantage of the extensive clin-ics maintained by the College.

In the new class Iowa leadsas usual with Michigan runninga close second and of course wealways have a fine representa-tion from Ohio. California isrepresented this year and geo-graphically speaking, the otherextreme-the State of Maine.

Old students are enjoying theadvantages of the recent im-provements-in the building. Thefirst floor has been rearrangedand enlarged for chemical andanatomical laboratories and thephysiology lab moved to thefourth floor. The new recreationand locker room is a big im-provement.

The second floor has moretreating rooms and a new footclinic established on Thursdayafternoons. The projectoscoperoom on the second floor has alarger seating capacity.

The fourth floor has been en-larged for a large technic dem-onstration room with a completeset of new treating tables. Thephysiology laboratory occupiesthe entire west wing of this floor.Two new class rooms have beenopened on this floor also.

The fifth floor will house apathological specimen museumof interesting specimens whichwill be on display at all times.

The anatomical laboratory hasinstalled a complete new refrig-erating plant at a cost of nearly$1,000 which makes the labor-atory one of the most modernlyequipped dissection rooms in theentire country. The capacity inall laboratories has been increas-ed over twice that of previousyears. Laboratories in all de-partments are much closer to theteaching work of the departmentthan heretofor.

The Atlas Club smoker, wel-coming the new men of the col-lege, was held at the chapterhome, Monday evening, Septem-ber 11th.

Drs. Halliday, Marshall,Woods and Campbell were thespeakers of -the evening andtheir discussion of college workand freshman problems provedvery interesting to all present.

The Halliday trip into thewestern states and World's Fair,as shown by movies, was a popu-lar event of the evening.

Xiphoid Chapter of the AtlasClub enjoyed having the newmen with them and wishes tocongratulate them for choosingthe Osteopathic profession fortheir life work.

IOTA TAU SIGMA

Iota Tau Sigma wishes to takethis opportunity to welcome ev-ery one back for the comingschool year. We sincerely hopethat you had an enjoyable va-

-..cation and wish you success inthe future.

We wish to welcome back tothe fold Brother Richardson ofMinnesota who is returning toschool after an absence of sev-eral years.

Brother MacIntyre has alsoreturned from that wild andwooly state of Massachusetts.Watch out, girls.

Permit us to welcome backBrother Hall of Dayton, thethird of our returning prodigals.Bud has only his senior year tocomplete, so let us all wish himgood luck for the final stand.

The other day the quiet andpeace of the afternoon was shat-tered by a clanking, rending,tearing noise followed by a cloudof steam and dust. As the dustsettled and the steam clearedaway, Brother S. G. Beghtol ofDeKalb stepped from his pant-ing steed. Gne claims he madethe trip in four days, but thenthe rest of us have our doubts.

Brother Hubbard rolled up tothe house last week in a nice

shiny Chevrolet. We have beeninformed that the car has an ex-ceptionally fine CLUTCH.

We hope by the end of thismonth to be situated in a newhouse, our present quarters be-ing inadequate due to the factthat so many of the brothershave returned this year.

Brother Gerow returned fromthe wilds of northern Michiganlooking rather frail, having fall-en away to a mere 195 pounds.The rigors of the far north evi-dently to much for his afterspending nine months in the city.

Brother Herbert, the Daytonprotege arrived in town at10:31 P. M. Saturday last;dashed madly into the house,brushed his teeth and was lastseen at 10:34 careening wildlydown the street in the directionof Twelfth and High. Thebrothers are at a loss to explainthis sudden hurried departure,but then we have ideas on thesubject.

The boys are enjoying thebenefits of a new home locatedat 2142 Grand Ave.

The fraternity is pleased toannounce the acquisition of twonew members sent from theGamma Chapter at Chicago.They are B. Wayland and J.Hoose.

The fraternity sends its con-gratulations to its new pledges:John Wilkes, Harold Morgan,Bob Gibson and Emyl Braun-schweig.

It has been noticed that Dr. H.Toepfer, an intern at the DesMoines General Hospital has notforgotten his fraternity brothers.He is a frequent visitor at thehouse.

It may be of interest to anyalumni brothers to know that Dr.M. C. Beilke, of Chicago, is thepresident of the National Chap-ter.

The members wish to extend ahearty welcome to all the newstudents, and they will be will-ing to offer any services whichwill benefit the newcomers inbecoming acquainted with theroutine at Still.

The word sleeper is defined as:1. One who sleeps; a drone, orlazy person. 2. A beam, used onor near the ground to support astructure.

According to the definition,we may have various kinds ofsleepers. To the carpenter itmeans one thing, to the bridgeman another and to the steelconstruction worker somethingelse. While if you were to aska poker player his conception ofthe word, he would, no doubt saythat it was a high card in thehole. This short discussion takescare of the second part of thedefinition. Since the last shallbe first, and the first shall belast we shall now attempt toanalyze and apply the first part.

Here at Still College, we findthe sleeper to which the firstpart of the definition is applic-able. Rightly, they should beclassified under two heads.Those who sit and those who re-cline.

The sitting kind can be class-ified as: 1. Those who attemptto approximate the clavicle andthe anterior superior spine of theilium. Those whose chin ap-proximates the patella. 3. Thosewith head erect and moutheither open or closed. 4. Thosewith head reclined and moutheither opened or closed.

The reclining type can beclassified as: 1. Those who lieon their side. 3. Those who lieon their back.

The number of chairs such anindividual occupies depends on,the availibility, his classification,the length of time he expects tosleep, and his size, whether hebe tall, short, or intermediate.The length of waist line not mak-ing any appreciable difference.

Picture, if such a thing ispossible, a man of this kind inthe field, always asleep. Imag-ine a patient coming into his of-fice disturbing his peaceful slum-bers. He will portray a startledlook, and begin rubbing his eyes,in an attempt to correlate hismental faculties, to, at least, talkintelligently. After profuse apol-ogy, he will be in a position to,at least, look at the patient, andwill make a blind attempt to se-cure the symptoms, and diagnosethe case. May we here be per-mitted to quote from a recent ad-dress in Assembly, when thespeaker made the statement thatsuch a man will not be muchcompetition for the one who isalert, and wide-awake.

What will the patient think ofsuch a man? ' Will he call again,or refer any of his friends tosuch a doctor for treatment?The question need not be dis-cussed here, as we all well knowthat such a practitioner soonfinds the element from which hecame, and reverts back to it,whether it be, carpenter, boilermaker, garage helper, or whatnot. Water seeks its own level.Regardless of the business orprofession. with which he is af-filiated, the man who makesgood, is the one who improvesevery minute of his time. Sleeps

0. B. StatisticsIn a report recently compiled

by Dr. V. A. Newman of theObstetrical Department of theCollege, several interestingthin e. are noted. TProm Ma.v 27

Dr. v. A. nrewman

to September 7 of this year therewere 95 cases delivered in thedepartment, of which 52 weremales and 43 females. In thegroup are included 3 sets oftwins and one set of boys andone girl and one set of a boyand a girl.

The report shows 7 breech de-liveries, 6 forceps, 2 compoundpresentations, 1 cardiac compli-cation, 2 preeclamptic condi-tions, 1 short cord complication,1 hydromnic complication, 9posterior occiput, and 1 placen-tal curretage.

The foregoing report showsconclusively that students in thedepartment receive ample ex-perience to make them practicedphysicians. Students staying forsummer clinic were rewarded fortheir sojourn in Des Moines. Stu-dents in our clinic make the de-liveries 'themselves under the su-pervision of a registered physi-cian. Men and women comingout of the O. B. Departmenthave had sufficient experience 'togive them confidence and assuresuccess in actual practice.

when he should, and works ac-cordingly.

To date, we have not observedmany snorers, but should thesleeping continue, and many newrecruits be enlisted, we, nodoubt, will soon have a choicenumber of stertors, who willmake their presence known bytheir sonorous emanations. Per-haps we might be able to de-velop a few of the hen-cluckingtype. If such should be the case,we might be able to use them inthe clinic.

Local Association Meets

The Des Moines OsteopathicAssociation wil hold its firstmeeting of the year the eveningof September 29, at the HotelChamberlain, at which time Dr.John Woods, faculty member,will talk on "Blood Pressure."At this coming meeting plans forthe ensuing year will be dis-cussed and committees ap-pointed.

A Still College Senior has beentaking car of the Des Moinesbaseball team of the WesternLeague all season. If such teamsdid not find a need for Oste-opathy we coudl not last throughthe season with them. As it is,the demand is greater than thesupply. We could keep twicethe number of Seniors busy asare available in Des Moines justnow. If you feel pessimisticabout the future of Osteopathycome out to Des Moines and talkfor a few minutes with one ofour high school coaches. Youwill go back home with a newlease on life.-H. V.

There is a story current con-cerning the fraternity man whowas killed in a train wreck. Itseems that when the coronertried to identify him by hisclothes, his first impression wasthat there had been a massacre.

Don't Call Me "Doc"!What physician likes to be

called "Doc?" Answer, from aloud and ever-swelling chorus-"NOBODY!" How many medi-cal men are called "Doc?" An-swer-sotto voce-"all of them,"

The late Doctor Phineas L.Conner, of Cincinnati, was wontto tell his students that "Whena man first calls you 'Doc' ormispronounces your name, re-prove him gently. When he re-peats the offense, reprove himprofanely. If he does it thethird time, knock him down."

Don't Call Me "Doc"!I am a Doctor of Osteopathy.

My title is DOCTOR.The word doctor means a

teacher-a learned man-oneschooled in a learned profes-sion.

The degree of Doctor is thehighest given by any university,and indicates that its owner isto be classed with the mosthighly educated men.

Any man should be proud topossess this degree and to bedesignated as "DOCTOR," butno self-respecting professionalman desires to be called "Doc,"which is a despiable mutilationof a most honorable title.

No other title is similarlyabused. Does one ever hear thepossessors of these titles calledby an abbreviation-Pres (ident),Gov(ernor), Sen(ator), (Cong-(ressman), Gen(eral), Col(on-el) Rev(erend) ?

Cultured people never addressa physician as "Doc," and otherpeople should not de it.

No man is harmed by being soaddressed, but when a personcall a physician "Doc," the doc-tor's opinion of him is lowered.When a physician is addressedas "Doctor," he recognizes thespeaker as a person of superiorintelligence, who respects him-self, and honors the profession.

Please drop "Doc" and culti-vate DOCTOR.

In August I sent out a letterto every I. O. A. in the statewhose address I had obtained,asking for state dues and wehave had a very fine response.

I have had a number of let-ters returned to me unclaimed.Will give the names of returnedletters so as to get the correctaddresses.

Why, Do You Do That?How many times since you

first entered D.M.S.C.O. have youbeen asked that question bysome layman? Too few of ourfriends, the public, fully realizethe scope of Osteopathic train-ing, and are laboring under thedelusion that our science con-sists of "Rubbing the Back."

The following article, takenfrom the Iowa Osteopathic Bul-letin, will give you some infor-iaation and help in explaining to

the layety that according to thelaws of the State of Iowa, youare licensed and trained to ren-der the same service as the med-ical man.

What is meant by: "A phy-sician Licensed to Practice Med-icine in the State of Iowa."

The Osteopathic physician andthe M. D. are licensed to andpractice the following:

Obstetrics.Perform minor surgery.Treat acute and minor dis-

eases.Give antidotes for poisons.Give parasiticides.Give anesthetics.Make complete physical exam-

inations.Make laboratory examinations.Use narcotic medicines.Sign death certificates.Sign birth certificates.Prescribe diet.Advise sanitation and hygiene.Prescribe nursing.Have fully equipped hospitals.The D. 0. does not but the M.

D. does-Give internal curative medi-

cine.Present day medical literature

and opinion is to the effect thatthe giving of medicine for cura-tive purposes is becoming asmall part of the medical doc-tor's practice.

There is no drug recognizedas a cure for T. B.Discussion-

What then constitutes thepractice of medicine 'that itshould not give the same privil-eges and obligations to the Med-ical doctor and the Osteopatihcphysician alto.

Nomenclature for Osteo-

pathic Technic

The work done by the Com-mittee on Technical Nomencla-ture under the direction of theAssociated College marks an im-

portant advance toward definitescientific thinking and discus-sion of osteopatnlc tecnnc.Heretofore, various individualsand colleges have worked outtheir own methods of expressionwith the result that misunder-standing resulted. "Flexion"meant one thing to one groupand another to someone trainedin another college or at anothertime.

The Committee was appointedat the Seattle Convention andcarried on the first part of thework at Detroit last year. Itwas arranged to meet for threedays prior to the Milwaukee con-vention so that the task couldbe prosecuted without interrup-tion. The plan proved a wiseone for it permitted completionof all areas excepting the ap-pendages. Dr. W. W. Pritchard,of Los Angeles, is chairman ofthe group with Dr. Russell Peck-ham, of Chicago, acting as sec-retary. Other members wereDrs. C. H. Soden and GeorgeRothmeyer, of Philadelphia; Dr.H. V. Halladay, of Des Moines;Dr. C. A. Tedrick, of KansasCity; and Dr. H. E. Litton, ofKirksville.

The Committee's report, adopt-ed by the Associated Colleges, isas follows:

Definitions and nomenclaturewere accepted as follows-(ineluding corrections and defini-tions prepared by this committeeat the Convention in Detroitin 1932)

An Osteopathic articular le-

sion is any alteration in ctheanatomical or physiological re-lationships of the articular struc-tures resulting in local or re-mote functional disturbance.

The term "Flexion" when usedwith reference to spinal jointsindicates the position assumedby the joint in forward bending.

The term "Extension" whenused with reference to spinaljoints indicates the position as-v,,mrnr hv tfhi ioint in hbakwardc

bending.The term "Lateroflexion"

when used with reference tospinal joints indicates flexion tothe right or left of the middle.

The term "Rotation" whenused with reference to spinaljoints indicates direction ofmovement around an axis.

A "Primary Lesion" is onewhich arises independently orany other osteopathic lesion orvisceral irritation.

The term "Acute" as appliedto the condition of lesion indi-cates the presence of active in-flammatory process.

Secondary Lesions:(a) A secondary reflex lesion

is one resulting from remote ir-ritation.

(,b) A secondary compensa-tory lesion is one of static origin.

The term "Chronic" as ap-plied to the condition of lesion,indicates the presence of tissuechanges in which active inflam-matory process is no longer pres-ent.

The term "Compressed" as ap-plied to the condition of chroniclesion indicates abnormal inter-osseous approximation.

The geographical location ofthe lesions of the spinal columnare designated by numbers thus:

The lesion is named from theupper of the two bones enteringinto the lesion.

Types of lesion (Positional) of

typical intervertebral articula-tions.

Positional types of lesion maybe classified according to thepositions permitted by the me-chanical arrangement of anygiven joint.

Typical invertebral joints per-mit the following typical move-ments and lesion types arenamed therefrom.

1. Flexion.2. Extension.3. Lateroflexion (If appreci-

able lateroflexion occurs, acomplement of rotation will bepresent.)

4. Rotation (If appreciablerotation occurs a compliment oflateroflexion will be present.)

Occipito-atlantoid lesion types:1. A Flexed occipito-atlantoid

lesion is one in which occipito-at-lantoid articular movement isbilaterally restricted in positionof flexion.

2. An Extended Occipito-at-lantoid lesion is one in whichoccipito-atlantoid articular move-ment is bilaterally restricted inposition of extension.

3. Lateroflexed and rotatedoccipito-atlantoid lesions arethose in which the occipital con-dyle on the side of the producedconvexity passes supero-laterallyand posteriorly and the occipitalcondyle on the side of the con-cavity passes infero-medially andanteriorly.

Atlanto-axial lesion-is one inwhich rotation of the atlas uponaxis is abnormally restricted.

Sacral Lesions-A. Sacro-iliac lesions:1. A Flexion lesion of the sac-

rum (Flexion Sacro-iliac lesion)is that condition in which theproximal sacral segment approxi-mates the symphysis pubis, withconcurrent increase in distancebetween the distal sacral seg-ment and the symphsis pubis.

2 A .LIae. +Od -0i ii lnioin"

torsion sacro-iliac lesion) is thatcondition in which the sacrumrotates between the ilia aroundan axis which approximates thelongtitudinal avis of the sacrum.

B. Sacro-coccygeal lesions:1. A Flexion sacro-coccygeal

lesion is that condition in whichsacro-coccygeal articular move-ment is restricted in position offlexion.

2. An Extension sacro-coccy-geal lesion is that condition inwhich sacro-coccygeal articularmovement is restricted in posi-tion of extension.

3. A Latero-flexed sacro-coc-cygeal lesion is that condition inwhich sacro- coccygeal articularmovement is restricted in posi-.tion of latero-flexion.

Temperomandibular Lesions-A temperomandibular lesion is

one in which there is restrictionof the normal movement occur-ring between the articular discand the mandibular condyle.

Clavicular Lesions-A. Sternoclavicular lesions.B. Acromioclavicular lesions.Clavicular lesions are primar-

ily rotations of the claviclearound its long axis. They arenamed:

1. Anterior-when the super-ior aspect of the clavicle is ro-tated anteriorly.

2. Posterior-when the supe-rior aspect of the clavicle is ro-tated posteriorly.

These terms anterior andposterior apply to both sterno-clavicular and sacro-mioclavicu-lar lesions.

3. At the acromioclaviculararticulation an additional lesionoccurs which consists of medialcompression of the articulationWvith clavicular elevation.

Terminology for lesions notincluded in this report shouldbe formally studied at some fu-ture -time.-Journal of Oste-UJrsdLTh.

Dean Receives Degree Our Summer Miles

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, dean ofthe college, was recently awardedthe degree of Fellow of theAmerican College of OsteopathicSurgeons at the annual meetingof the college recently held inSt. Joseph, Mo.

The degree is the highest hon-or the organization can awardand went to Dr. Schwartz for his"superior skill and attainments"in the field of surgery. Facultyand student body join in con-gratulating the dean.

AssembliesWeekly assemblies were again

instituted ,at the college ,thissemester. The opening convo-cation of the year found the an-nual introductions of freshmenthe order of the day. At thissame meeting, Dr. Tasker of theLos Angeles college talked tothe student body.

The next week Dr. H. V. Hall-aday introduced the new mem-bers of the orchestra-betterknown as "Halladay's Stillon-ians." Dr. Halladay then gavea talk on the new terminologyof osteopathic lesions and ex-plained the work of the nationalcommittee of the A. O. A. to theassembled students.

Assemblies are proving as pop-ular as ever this term and at-tendance at the weekly meetingshave been more than gratifyingto the school officials. Definiteplans have been made to carrythese meetings throughout theyear and programs have alreadybeen arranged for the students.

Dr. Facto presented MissJohnson, principal of the SmouseOpportunity School for Physical-ly Handicapped Children, in theOct. 13th assembly. Miss John-son illustrated the lecture on themethods of teaching the childrenwith demonstration slides of theschool and explained the splen-did work being accomplished by+thl oc-+otff nf tha in'tiflftifnn

Certainly we took a trip thissummer. We went to the con-vention in Milwaukee and afterthat drove out to Arizona andback. In order to keep ourlungs in a fairly good humorduring the winter we have togo somewhere for a while duringthe summer where the air is not90 per cent soft coal smoke.

The kids and I made the con-vention and enjoyed above every-thing else the drive across south-ern Wisconsin on the return.Some beautiful spots there andit would be much nicer to takemore time and run up a littlefarther north than we did.

Starting west, we drove fromDes Moines to Colorado Springs,740 miles in one day. Left homeat 5 a. m. and arrived at thehome of Drs. Givens and Givensat 9:30 p. m. Roads were fineall the way and the weather per-fect after we got past Lincoln,Neb. We took a day off anddrove up to Denver. Had lunchwith Bob Starks and stopped atthe P. G. Course for a few min-utes. Dr. Reed made us promiseto -come back in the evening andgive the bunch a talk so hurriedon up to Boulder and had din-ner with cousins there and thenback to 1550 Lincoln to greethis class. Enjoyed every bit ofit and met some old friends fromall over the country.

Our objective was Mesa Verde,of course. I go out there everyyear for about a week to getaway from osteopaths. This yearwas a bad year for no sooner didwe get our tent up than Lairdof Ponca City, Okla., appeared onthe scene. He promised to comeback and talk osteopathy butwhen he did I was gone. Thenext day who should step outof a car right in front of thetent but Moco Elsea of Detroitand both of us skipped a coupleof heart beats. It took me twodays to get rid of him so I couldenjoy a little peace and quiet. Ihave always praised Mesa Verdeand have always urged any ofyou who were out that way tomake the park but please dont'come in August. It is really avery bad time to be there. Therains are drenching and thenights cold. The little blackgnats fill the air and coyoteshowl all night, so please stayaway from Mesa Verde duringAugust and let me have a littlevacation without having it mixedup with the same fare that Ihave all the rest of the year. Iam very fond of osteopathy andosteopaths most of the time, but

Attends Meeting

Drs. L. L. Facto and J. L.Schwartz, faculty members, at-tended the convention of theAmerican College of Proctologyrecently held in Chicago, wherethey were in attendance at themorning discussions of variousphases of the specialty and after-noon clinics and demonstrationsof surgery.

According to Dr. Facto thereseems to be a definite trend to-ward surgery in place of injec-tion methods of treating rectaldiseases if the demonstrationsheld at the meeting are a criter-ion of modern procedure. In-teresting topics observed includ-ed the theory of infiltration oftissue in the treatment of pur-itis ani-a motion picture. Aslide demonstrated lecture on"Cancer of the Rectum" was alsomost interesting. Several majoroperations were observed at theAmerican College Hospital.

Frosh Reception

Western League TeamsReceive Student Care

(By Wendell Kessler)

Osteopathy is not new to thebaseball world because almostevery league team of importancehas osteopathic care throughoutthe year.

This summer the Des MoinesWestern league team receivedthis care and by the number ofverbal praises received, successwas ours.

The players that had been infaster .leagues wanted a treat-ment every day that time wouldallow and if any injury happen-ed to them it was osteopathythey wanted. The new playersor younger men did not paymuch attention to the serviceat first but it did not take themlong to turn to the osteopathiccare.

I found that the greateststress, strain and pain in a base-ball player's body is the deltoidmuscle of his throwing arm.

Good results were receivedwith this injury. Most everycase of sore arm had a third orfourth dorsal lesion.

There were all cases possiblein athletics, only one, a knee in-jury, that caused a player to re-main out of the game the restof the year.

One player recovered from aninjury of last year that had beengiven up as impossible. Afterthat happened I had all that Icould take care of.

The record of the team wasvery good, especially at home,where they received osteopathiccare.

The home record was 46 winsand 14 defeats, compared to 29wins and 29 games lost awayfrom home and osteopathy.

The team finished just one-half a game behind St. Joseph,the champions. The visitors alsoused the service when there wasan injury.

A bit of humor. One of theplayers demanded that a visitingpitcher who had beaten themseveral times before.

I enjoyed the work, the gamesand would advise any underclassman that would care for thiswork to be on hand next springas the team asked for us backand you will gain some worthwhile knowledge plus the en-joyment of the grand old game.

PSI SIGMA ALPHA

Psi Sigma Alpha takes pleas-ure in announcing the initiationof Zimmerman, Hobbs, Rankin,Owen, Erwin, Jungeman andBerck.

It has been felt by Psi SigmaAlpha that some definite stimu-lus along individual scholasticlines would be welcomed by theschool body. Therefore, we feelit our honor and privilege to an-nounce the establishment of aplaque to be hung in the generalclinic room with the student'sname engraved thereon who hasattained the highest scholasticaverage during his matriculationin the school of osteopathy.

It is our belief that this in-dividual designation of the honorstudent will fulfill the presentneed of a valedictorian and inaddition the student's name willbe perpetuated in the annals ofthe school.

In Re Case ReportsFrom time to time we hear

discussions about the reportingof cases. We quite often seecopies of case reports from va-rious parts of the country andnote the pages of case history,laboratory findings and down inthe corner we find some mentionmade of something that mightbe construed to mean that it wasan osteopathic examination andreport. The editor had thepleasure recently of looking overa copy of the Atlas Club Bulle-tin dated June, 1901. On page33 we find a department con-ducted by Dr. Charles Hazzard,now of New York City, then amember of the faculty of theold O. S. O. The first case re-port is one sent in by one of thegrand old men of osteopathy, Dr.F. R. Booth, who was then inpractice in Cincinnati, Ohio. Itis copied 'below.

"The patient was a woman of22; stenographer, and the amen-orrhea was of thirteen monthsstanding.

"Lesions: Atlas to the left;third, fourth and fifth cervicalto the left; posterior cervical tis-sues all thick and tense, especial-ly on the left; seventh dorsalspine to the right, and the wholespine rather irregular. The pel-vis was twisted, with apparentlengthening of the right limb,and the abdomen was full andtense.

"The greatest gynecologist inCincinnati said that the uteruswas atrophoid, and that the pa-tient would never mensrtuateagain.

"The case was cured in fourmonths, having showed improve-ment from almost the beginningof treatment.

"The treatment was donewith the object of removing thelesions and of stimulating thecerebro-spinal and sympatheticsystems.

"The menses returned slightlyabout six weeks after beginningtreatment."

Oh me, oh my. Dr. Boothstarts out by finding lesions. Ifyou count the words you willfind that ninety per cent of thereport is osteopathic, purely so.How much osteopathy can befound in your case reports to-day?

All In A Name.An old lady in 'Amstead 'Eath

was taken with pains on the ap-pendicitis side. A new osteowas called in, made examina-tions, quieted fears, and wenthis way. That evening the oldlady remarked to her daughter:

"It was nice of the new vicarto call."

"But, Mumsie, that wasn't thevicar; that was the doctor."

"Oh," said the old lady, mus-ing, "I thought he was a littlefamiliar for a vicar."

Movie Actress: "I'll endorseyour cigarettes for no less than$50,000."

Cigarette Magnate: "I'll seeyou inhale first."

Osteopathy Without Limitation

D.M.O.S. NewsWith the adoption of an en-

tirely new Constitution, By-Lawsand Code of Ethics, and the sub-sequent organization of severalStanding Committees, the PolkCounty Osteopathic Associationhas arranged a program of activ-ities for the winter, that prom-ises to be even more successfulthan previous years.

A noon luncheon on Thursdaysis encouraging social contact,and regular monthly meetingsare held on the second Friday ofeach month, beginning with adinner at 6:30 at the Chamber-lain Hotel.

The Des Moines group are par-ticularly fortunate in havingcollege faculty members andhospital staff physicians amongtheir membership, and thesemen are giving generously oftheir time and talents in thewinter's program of speakers.

Dr. Woods spoke at the Sep-tember meeting on "AbnormalBlood Pressure," and Dr. Halla-day at the October meeting onsome original research work hehas recently done on "Interverte-bral Disks." In November, Dr.J. P. Schwartz will talk on "Thy-roid Dysfunctions," and in De-cember the membership will beguests at the College when "TheKidney" will be discussed inbrief talks by the faculty mem-bers, each one speaking in hisown department.

Dr. McBain, of Chicago, hasbeen invited to give two address-es on January 12th, separatedby dinner. Mr. Welch, a psycho-analyst, will speak in February;Dr. Facto, in March; Dr. R. B.Bachman, in April; and Dr. Cashat the final regular meeting onMay 11th.

ten the six district meetings areso near at hand it will do littlegood to urge attendance. Veryimportant state 'business will bediscussed at these meetings andit is at the fall meetings that theelection of state trustee andmember of the legislative com-mittee are elected. If you wanta voice in your representativeon these groups always plan tohelp elect him at the fall meet-ings.

Perhaps a goodly number ofyou have missed the secretary'sletters urging payment of dues.Dr. Laura Miller, chairman ofthe membership committee,wrote you recently urging pay-ment of dues and mentioning thefact that the secretary was inan embarrassing position withbills and no money to even paya bit on each of them. If eachof you sent in a dollar or twodollars a week it would help.Those in practice three years orless the dues are five dollars-otherwise ten a year.

Starting in the next issue ofthe Log Book we intend to pub-lish the names of those membersthat are paid in full. We willalso list those that are payingpart at a time, and many of theseundoubtedly are making morereal sacrifice to do it than someof the others that pay in full inone payment. This notice givesyou a month or until the 8th ofNovember to send in your dues,either in full or in part, to belisted-and we know you wantit listed. Soon the A. O. A. willbe getting out their directory andyour names will bear a star if astate member-does it pay tohave that star? One week lastmonth we did eight dollars worthof business referred by doctors-we were out of the office oneday and afterwards learned wecould have raised that eight toten-state dues in one week'stime-money which would other-wise not have come to us in allprobability. Again, does it pay?There are far too many osteo-paths in Iowa who consider thestate society as something foronly a few or something entirelyforeign to their needs or deserv-ing their cooperation. The so-fiety is for every one and ifthings don't go as they should,don't stand at the door and yell.get in and clean house.

There is- always room for hon-est workers in any organizationbut knockers that don't workshould be enlisted in the inter-est of their own profession. Inthis era of "new deals" isn't ittime for everyone practicing un-der an osteopathic license tojoin forces and work for the in-terests of the profession? Doyou realize it was only throughthe efforts of the state societythat you were permitted to takean impartial examination underan osteopathic examining boardin this state-and thait it isthrough the work of the statesociety that you are now in prac-tice in the state?

Along with the state societywe would like to speak agoodword for the State Auxiliary un-der the capable and untiring1 rlederhin nf Mrs. J. K .Tohn-IvU.A,.sV I 0 z1, ,*,I ,L As .v. v. v , v_ -

son, Sr., of Jefferson. Thesewomen can do many things forosteopathy that we cannot do-at present they are entering acampaign for osteopathic stu-dents, The wives of all osteo-pathic physicians in the state areeligible and it is certainly ourduty to support and encouragethem in every possible way-first by urging our own wives tobecome members. Again, how-ever if you as a reader of thesewords don't think enough ofyour profession to join up it canhardly be expected your wife willjoin forces and fight your bat-tles for you.

Whatever you do or howeveryou feel don't get the idea thatthe society is out for anybody,it is out to protect the interestsof all and the sooner we realizewe must work together the bet-ter off we will be. If I wererunning this society we would doa good many things differentlyand if you were running it youwould do a good many thingsdifferently-so lets all work to-gether for the good of all ofus-the profession of osteopathyin Iowa.

THE LOG BOOK

Congratulations, A. 0. A.

The editor of the Log Book is

in receipt of a group of letters

from the A. O. A. office in

which Dr. Ray G. Hulburt carried

on a dogged fight with the edi-

tor of "Time" magazine concern-ing recognition of osteopathicpractice and the requirementsscholastically; also correspond-ence relative to a review of theMilwaukee convention. The cor-respondence started some yearsago and was a nip and tuck af-fair from beginning to end. TheA. O. A. office is to be con-gratulated on this victory. Toquote from the final letter re-ceived by Dr. Hulburt from the"Time" editor:

"You seem to have me lickedon arguments. For I certainlyhave been under misinformationabout allopathic schools.

"Many thanks for your leaflet"Osteopathy: the Science ofMedicine," Besides the clear,brief exposition on osteopathy.

"'As for replying in detail toour lengthy, long time corre-spondence, the idea appals me.I beg off."

Thanks, Dr. Wilson!

We are in receipt of a fine let-ter from Dr. John H. Wilson ofAuburn, Calif., in which hecompliments the Log Book onits September issue. In the let-ter Dr. Wilson promises to visitus. He says: "I was born Jan-29, 1859-no spring rooster anymore. I'm the youngest man inPlacer County for my years. I'mgetting a little too old to putthe gloves on with the boys asI did in 1883." We are alwaysglad to hear from men in thefield and thank Dr. Wilson forhis interest.

Our Summer Miles(Continued from page 1)

I do not like them when I amtaking a vacation.

From the Mesa we took theusual route to Zuni and visiteda number of places in the vicinitythat we kad missed before. Wentdown to Inscription Rock overthe worst road in the countryand had to have help to pull outof a bad slide that nearly putus in the ditch. Partly my fault.With the help of Mr. Voght ofthe park service and an Indianwho could push if you said theright word to him we got backon solid ground again. Weeventually reached Tucson,where Frances is attending theuniversity and from there wentc.n down to Nogales to seeSmockie again. Some of you re-member Anna M. Smock. Shehas a big place in Nogales andshe and Jakie, her secretary,make you feel so at home thattoxins acquired by long drivinghours immediately disappear.Maybe it is Tequila but Smockieand Jakie have my vote. Go overinto Nogales, Sonora, and at theopen air cafe of Maria and enjoysome real Spanish food and somedecent beer. This ended our va-cation for we parked Francesand Morrie and I hurried back toget ready for our own schools.Morrie is attending Iowa Statecollege at Ames this year. Weare still looking for the cabin inthe mountains but found outthis year that they still want theUnited States money for one andwill not accept promises noreven second hand shirt buttons.

Some day we are going tohave a cabin out there some-where and there will be a ma-chine gun in the front yard withan occupational - selective - auto-matic-firing-control on it and thedial will be set on the word os-teopath.-Virg and Kids.

THE

LOG BOOKPUBLISHED MONTHLY BY THE DES MOINES STILL COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY

Volume 10 NOVEMBER 15, 1933 Number 11

Dr. Russell PeckhamDies

The entire profession will beshocked to know of the suddendeath, November 3rd, of Dr. R.R. Peckham, of Chicago. In tenyears time he has made for him-self a name and reputation inthe science of Osteopathy thatwithout his great brilliance couldnever have been accomplished.He leaves us at a time when weneeded him most. His activitiesin the several capacities in whichhe served in such a constructivemanner will suffer for some oneto replace him.

*Since his graduation in 1923from the Chicago College he hasbeen intimately associated withit in the capacity of teacher andmediator on many questions. Hehas spoken before many of ourassociations and has been veryactive in national osteopathicwork. He leaves to mourn hisdeath a wife and small son, hisfather, a sister, and three broth-ers, graduates in Osteopathy,many friends and the entire Os-teopathic profession.

Polk County Association

There was a large attendanceat the October meeting of thePolk County Osteopathic Associ-ation to hear Dr. H. V. Halla-day's talk on the "IntervertebralDisc." Those who had heardDr. Halladay's paper at the na-tional convention at Milwaukeelast summer arranged to haveit included in this year's pro-gram. Using a stereoptican thespeaker clearly presented themany new facts on the physiol-ogy and' anatomy of the discsome of which was the result oforiginal research by Dr. Halla-day himself.

Mr. William Welch will be theguest speaker in November onPsyco-Anaytic Methods," and inDecember the association will bethe guests of the faculty of StillCollege. Dr. J. M. Woods ,willbe chairman of the program atthat time.

Dr. E. R. Booth Very IIIWord has been received at the

college from Robert Booth, sonof Dr. E. R. Booth, that hisfather is becoming weaker rap-idly. It will be rememberedthat Dr. Booth retired early lastspring and since that time hasnot been in good health. It isour hope that he rallies and willbe able to yet contribute fromhis experience to the history ofOsteopathy.

Basketball

Sigma Sigma Phi has theseries started already and thefirst game was played Wednes-

day evening at the Jewish Com-munity Center. Games sched-uled were between the I. T. S.and the P. S. G followed by theAtlas playing the Non-fratgroup. The I. T. S. won the firstgame by default but were soanxious to put on an exhibitionthat they recruited some rivalsfrom their subs, together withJay Fink a local star, and withnine men on the floor put on arapid fire show that indicatedthat they have plenty of mate-rial and will prove real conten-ders for the crown.

The Atlas game with the Non-frats proved the guesses of theearly part of the week. Atlaswon 33 to 21 but the Non-fratboys put up a game fight handi-capped by lack of material butnot by any inferiority complex.

Having only five men, BennyDevine and Doc Hurd subbed forthem in the pinches and we wantto say right now that these arethe things that show real co-op-eration and sportsmanship. Thewhole gang is out there just tohave a little fun and break themonotony of the regular sched-ule and no one really cares whowins or loses. The main thingis to be a part of the whole andall have a good time. The crowdwas too small considering theprice of admission and this di-version for the students benefitshould be better attended andsupported.

Of course, there will be a lotof old men in school for a dayor two but there will be smilesand friendly kidding enough tomake up for the stiffness that thelack of training will bring on.Next game next Wednesday andbe there.

Tag Day

Sigma Sigma Phi memberssuddenly slipped up on the stu-dent body not long ago with atag day. It's a grand idea ancwill do a great good. It seemsthat this year we have a livewire doing some work along leg-islative lines and the frat withthe idea of helping a good causealong took it upon themselves tcuse this method to show thecommittee that the college wagback of the work 100%.

Freshman Reception andDance

The annual reception anddance given by the trustees ofthe college in honor of the fresh-men was held October 27th at.the Hoyt-Sherman Place. Mem-bers of the faculty and trusteesl e d b y Drs. Johnson andSchwartz greeted the arrivingguests. The parlor was soon fill-ed with those preferring conver-sation while the card room of-fered entertainment in bridgeand rummy. The dance floorwas filled with the majority en-joying music furnished by San-diens Melody Masters. Punchwas served throughout the eve-ning.

Approaching Hallowe'en fur-nished the inspiration for thesouvenirs presented to the fresh-men during their special danceand which consisted of rattlesand horns. Several groups ofearly Hallowe'en pranksters wereseen outside and much to thesurprise of the dancers a mem-ber of the faculty secured one ofthem, brought her into the danceand finished a numbed with her.This settled the mischief withthe kids, furnishing them with agreater thrill than the businessof letting air out of all the park-ed cars in the neighborhood.

The freshmen reception anddance was a complete success.Everyone enjoyed 'the eveningand many expressed the wish tohave it repeated in the early partof the Spring term.

Visited by Dr. JohnRogers

Dr. John Rogers of the wellknown town of Oshkosh, officialrepresentative of the A. O. A.,has made his annual visit to thecollege. This 1trip was sand-wicnea in between otner import-ant work of Dr. Rogers and itseems he is busier than a onearmed juggler. With the im-provements made in the collegethis year and some constructiveshifting on the faculty we fee]sure that Dr. Rogers appreci-ated the changes at the college

Scotty Russell, famed Osteo-pathic fan, entertained Dr. Rog-ers when he was taken to EastHigh to observe the work of theSeniors in care of athletes.

Born Where?'A couple of weeks ago one of

the groups in the OB clinic wait-ed on a case that for the timewas living in a shack on an is-land in the middle of the DesMoines River. In order to getto this place the students had todrive a rather tortuous route tothe bank of the river and thenwhistle across for Charon tocome over in his trolly. Thisaffair being a box suspended ona cable with a couple of wheelsarranged so you could navigatethe distance by hand power.Unique if nothing else. Thebabe arrived and all went well.A question now comes up. Is-lands are the property of thegovernment. In signing thebirth certificate should the doc-tor say that the baby was bornin Iowa or just in the UnitedStates?

AssembliesThe extremely interesting pro-

grams presented to the studentbody recently have attracted re-newed attention. Dr. Gordon in-troduced the Rev. Stoddard LaneFriday, October 27th. Dr. Lanevery ably handled the difficultsubject of "Science and Reli-gion." Without offense to eith-er side it was pointed out that avery intimate and necessary rela-tion exists between the two.

Dr. Robert Bachman provedhimself capable of doing theright thing at the right time bypresenting Mr. R. M. Miller ofthe General Electric ResearchLaboratories. Mr. Miller has amanner of speech that holds yourattention but with such an in-teresting subject he would neednothing else. The entire studentbody was surprised to learn ofmany new applications of oldprinciples, several applied totherapy. Mr. Miller also broughtout the fact that there is stillplenty of room of improvementin the electrical field and manythings yet to be done.

Dr. Glen Fisher provided anhour of entertainment by turn-ing back the pages of time. Ithas been years since we heardand saw an old time chalk-talk-er work. The old jokes, the oldpictures and the old patterbrought back many fond memo-ries. It was excellent entertain-ment and fully appreciated.

Chas. Gnau has put the musi-cal group through a dry clean-ing process and has alreadyshown the effect of renewal ef-fort applied in the right direc-tion. We hear rumors of a GleeClub, perhaps we will here morethan rumors soon

IOTA TAU SIGMA

To say the least, we were abit disappointed with the firstshowing of the basketball tourn-ament. It seems that the broth-ers were all pepped up for thatfirst game and then to have itfall through the way it did wastoo much. However, we did

make the best of the situationand the result was a quite livelylittle game, you know one ofthose inner fraternity affairs.

The conditions of the broth-ers, the day after the night be-fore, who participated in thegame is quite surprising. Onthe whole they are in fairly goodshape considering that the ma-jority of them if they were as oldas they act sometimes, wouldhave one foot in the grave andthe other slipping in the samegeneral direction. Neverthe-less brother Gerow, and as weunderstand Brother M a 1 o y,couldn't take it at all and as aresult the former is all brokenup now, while the latter is asgood as could be expected. Well,that's the way it goes with theseathletes.

Bro. Nowlin, '30, having com-pleted his work in Des Moineshas returned to his home inCedar Rapids. Although he wasunknown to the brothers before,he soon grew in a few days, tobe one of the best all aroundmen in. the house. To say thatwe're sorry to see him leavewould be putting it mildly.

During the past month as aresult of the new deal, the fra-ternity has been going on quitea buying splurge, nothing elab-orate so to speak, just a fewarticles of furniture which wewere sadly in need. And nowone would experience difficultyin recognizing the old place ifhe hadn't seen it since last year.All in all we're quite proud ofour work and feel sure that thenew furniture will come in veryhandy when we move into ournew house next semester.

There comes a time in everycolumnist's life when he mustdish out a little dirt on the sideto keep things interesting forhis readers. One does get tiredof all this cut and dried stuff.So to start, -Bro. S. G. Beghtol,our big game hunter is staringout this P. M. in quest of therather elusive canvas back.Gene has promised to invite usto a duck dinner and he'll bringthe ducks. However we feelthat he couldn't be depended onunder those circumstances, so nodoubt the ducks will be enjoyeddown at B. & H. (do you wannabuy a duck).

PHI SIGMA GAMMA

The end of the harvest wascelebrated with a Fall Festivaldance at the house on Friday,November 3. The event wasgraced by the presence of sever-al members of the faculty.

October 30th, "open night,"Dr. Gladstone addressed thegroup. His topic concerned therelationship of the Osteopathicphysician to the optometrist.

We were honored in havingDr. John Rogers as a guest atdinner during his stay in DesMoines.

The chapter announces thepledging of G. Folkman, G. Nie-house and K. Dirlam.-

To watch the members attiredfor sleep in the dorm one wouldthink that they were going to a

skating party. "The Professor"has been seen retiring in asweater labeled with three X's.We presume that it indicates hisderivation from "rare old stock."

It has been suggsted that thenext time Bill steps into an ele-vator shaft, he wear a "light fallsuit."

SOME OVERTURE! !

Phone conversation picked upby our wire tapper.

Virg: How about that meet-ing tonight, Harry?

Harry: Can't possibly makeit. We're having company fordinner tonight, tomorrow nightand the next and the next. Youknow I just got back from hunt-ing pheasants.

Virg: What about the Poets?Harry: Huh, oh, I didn't see

any.(Bang goes the receiver, An-

other good one wasted.)

The Medics Failed

Cases cured by Osteopathicmethods have ceased to be spec-tacular. In the early days ofthe science the boldness of theOsteopath in taking and curingcases given up by regular physi-cians attracted considerable at-tention and was responsible forthe large student body consistingof many middle-aged aspirants.Today these cures are no longersurprising due to the frequencyof them. The clinic of .Still Col-lege offers many of these cases.The following reports is not pad-ded. The names can be furnish-ed to anyone sincerely interestedand the patient will be glad toaffirm any of the statements.

Mrs. G .W. of Des Moines is62 years old and a housewife.Nine months previous to her in-troduction to Osteopathy shehad an accident that resulted infracture of the tibia near theknee. She was taken to a localhospital (not the Des MoinesGeneral) and the leg was placedin a cast. She had the best ofmedical care and was discharg-ed later with the informationthat the limb would probablyhave to be amputated and thatshe would always be a cripple.After she was settled in bed athome some friends prevailed onher to try Osteopathy. John Ag-new, then a Senior in the col-lege was assigned to the case andreports the following: "Left legflexed at knee and toes dorso-flexed. Muscles weak. Kneestiff. Limb cold. Patient un-able to help self in any way.General health good. Had beenslightly lame from injury earlyin life. Lesions in lower dorsaland upper lumbar affectingblood supply. Adhesions caus-ing stiff knee. Lesions at 4thand 5th lumbar affecting Sciaticnerve."

In five treatments Dr. Agnewhad the patient up and support-ing weight on the affected limbnd as far as the patient was con-

cerned was completely cured.Regular treatment was continu-ed until at this writing the pa-tient walks with the aid of acane and crutch but can easilysupport herself and take stepswithout any aid. Her health isexcellent and she is doing all ofher own work. The circulationis normal in the affected limband the muscular strength isequal to the unaffected one. Itis needless to add that her men-tal state has improved alongwith the physical improvementand she radiates happiness as shegoes about preaching Osteopathyto all her friends.

The remarkable features ofthe case are that with the bestmedical advice in the city shewas offered nothing more than abedfast existance the rest of herlife with nothing said about thepossibility of manipulative ther-apy. Also, in spite of the ageof the patient she responded totreatment immediately. Thefirst treatment effected consid-erable improvement both in posi-and comfort.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

Well, Well, Well!!!How long has this been going

on? For years we say, but someare just finding it out. We re-print below from page 591 ofthe November issue, 1933, ofPhysical Therapy and Radiology.

Spinal Manipulative Treatmentin General Practice

Pointing out the values ofspinal manipulative methods (asnow mostly used by unqualifiedpractitioners), in such conditionsas dyspepsia, chronic cough,backache and insomnia, Dr. L.Capper-Johnson, in Brit. J; Phys-ical Med., Aug., 1932, remarksthat he knows from experiencehow often the general practition-er's reputation suffers from ap-parent inability to clear up whatthe public call simple com-plaints, which disappear rapidlyunder unorthodox treatment,and how excessively annoying itis to find a v.alued family con-nection thus severed. The mereassertion that such methods arenot recognized in orthodox medi-cal circles, in this day of skepti-cism makes the family doctorlook foolish and out of date,Surely, the way to meet this newattitude is boldly to investigatethe reasons for their success andtry to add to our therapeuticequipment technic which, per-haps, has not yet been includedin the syllabus of the medicalschools.

Athletic ClinicThe football season is about to

close and the basket ball prac-tice and training will soon be themain topic among the Seniors.With our four local high schools,Valley Junction and the Catho-lic Academy on the list the Sen-iors have been kept busy. Some-thing like 700 boys have beenunder the care of these studentsduring the past several weeks.The rivalry among the teams iscarried to the Seniors and BudCooper and Louis Kestenbaumwill win the pot for East highis almost certain to win the citychampionship.

Considerable excitement wascaused not long ago when eigh-teen girls from the A. I. B. cameover to the college for their ex-amination so they could qualifyfor basketball. Every studentin the college wanted to assistbut Virg, the old meanie, con-fined his aides to the officiallyappointed Senior for the team.Applications are on file from six.Freshmen for this job threeyears hence.

Help!! Help!!In our several years experi-

ence in the care of athletes andin all of my correspondence inregard to this work this is thefirst letter of this kind I everreceived. Something is surelywrong here and it is not clear inmy mind just why there has beena failure here. I know the phy-sician well and know the terri-tory. This will require morethan a thought or two . Haveany of you in the field had asimilar experience and are just alittle shy about saying so. Ihave so many letters that areexactly opposite in type that Ifeel sure that the fault is notwith the Osteopathic end of thework. Have you any sugges-tions? If sn helDn us with thiscase.-H. V. H.Dear Virge:

For years I have been readinga good deal about osteopathichandling of athletic teams. Myexperience has been that this isusually a thankless job. Theathlete is temperamentally in-clined to accept favors easily.The Athletic Association is per-ennially without money. Theadvertising obtained has been al-most nil. In other words, thefinancial aspect of the care ofathletes is apt to be a sad story.I treat a few glass arms, stiffknees and busted backs for pro-fessional athletes temporarilyflushed with money. My regu-lar patients send me their injur-ed sons and daughters.

However, I may have missed avital point in the whole matter.I wish in the near future youwould make some public pro-nouncement along the lines of"How Athletes Can Assist in theN. R. A. Program,' 'or some suchappropriate topic.

I always enjoy reading of yoursummer sojourns.

Your old friend.

We Cannot Accept Ads But-if anyone is interested in pur-chasing an Albright table com-plete with all attachments writeto Mrs. A. Wilson, CommodoreHotel, Des Moines.

The Oregon Bulletin.Thanks, Dr. Van Brakle, we

enjoy your bulletin and willchange your address.

Did You?See that cartoon by Webster

showing the "card" kidding Dr.Shambaugh an Osteopath? Weare not sure but think this maybe intended for the real Dr. D.A. Shambaugh of Norwalk,Conn. Knowing him personallywould say that the picture hardlydoes him justice but yet thereseemed to be a slight resem-blance especially the nose. Howabout it, D. A.?

Did you hear the broadcast ofMarie's birthday party? Maywe add our humble congratula-tions and good wishes to thisartist who has so freely givenof her vitality to make us allmore appreciative of life.

iut of course von did-ex-

perience that new emetic-"Wyncha come up some time?"

Hear the Carefree CarnivalSaturday night, October 3rd? Ifso you must have heard Dr.Fishface the Osteopath in hisextremely funny part especiallyat the end where he succeededin rendering the patient uselessfor further broadcasting pur-poses. Some will disagree withus but since the whole programwas made of fun being poked atdoctors, it was no more thanright that Osteopathy should beincluded with the others. Weget a big kick out of this pro-gram every Saturday night, andthe Senator is always good. Theannouncer slipped once and call-ed him Senator instead of Doc-tor.

Know that one of our stu-dents has Vet tendencies? Wemust get a case report on thisfour legged patient who has beento the Vet college at Ames andto various places for treatmentand finally comes to one of ourSeniors.

Notice that when anyone wantsJay they yell "Dr. Halladay?"

After Eight YearsI had the pleasure and advan-

tage in October of returning toDes Moines after eight yearsand visiting Des Moines Still Col-lege of Osteopathy . Also forthe first time in twelve years, ofvisiting- Des Moines General Hos-pital. Like my visit eight yearsago, I was only able to stop offin Des Moines for a few hoursand could not visit all I wished.I had to pass up the hospital be-fore.

Eight years ago, Still Collegewas in the old building. Now Iwas shown through a buildingof up-to-date structure, fireproof,roomy, well supplied with win-dows with no obstruction ofhigher buildings near to shut outair and light, and although thestudent body still get the ad-vantage of exercise on the stairs,for visitors at least there is agood elevator service.

It was interesting to gothrough the college and try torecognize some of the old equip-ment. It is difficult to identi-fy much of it. There are toomany new incubators, labratoryutensils, cases, tables, desks, spe-cial examining rooms, clinictreating rooms, etc., to be ableto see any of the less plentifulequipment we worked with yearsago, if indeed any of it is stillretained.

Fo- example, those old semi-circular straight-backed woodenseats in the old pit, where onecould wear callouses on the kneesagainst the edge of the seat infront! Not a sign of the many-where now. Also those oldcreaky seats we had in chappel!Now one sees fine new comfort-able theatre seats in the assem-bly room.

The chemistry laboratory looksfamiliar. But then all such labsresemble each other with the re-agent bottles on the shelves andthe bunson burners, sinks, retortracks. etc. But the chemistrv

laboratory stock room and pri-vate office is double the size ofthe one in the old college build-ing, and it looks to be doublystocked with utensils and sup-plies.

The biology lab and the his-tology and pathology labs are ar-ranged quite differently from theold ones, and they are biggeraad much more complete. Thesenew ones look as if students andfaculty members spent manyhours outside the regular classperiods. It makes an old timerfeel as if he might better comeback and a spend a while andbe taken into the secrets thesenewer students in our osteopath-ic colleges are having revealedto them in these labs.

Then Des Moines General Hos-pital has also changed, althoughfrom the outside it looks like thesame old familiar building. Whenone enters the front door hefinds himself in a rather largepleasant sitting room where dur-ing clinic, the hour (I was a visi-tor) the persons accompanyingthe patients are made comfort-able. The business office win-dow opens into this sitting room.The old hallway is gone. Thestairs seem different. They arecarpeted and silent. A maid wasgoing over each step with a handelectric vacuum cleaner.

In the operating rooms, Dr. J.L. Schwartz was quietly and ef-ficiently doing tonsillectomiesunder general anethesia, with thecall rPid E 1 n ilrzp n rig fn-na iiiftorn oo LIJL 611 Uli 11 UHl O aIIU U llt llLt 11 l

to assist. The two patients heoperated while I watched, werechildren. Dr. Schwartz had themother of one child to look in tosee how clean and complete wasthe removal of the tonsils whenhe was finished.

In the other operating room,Dr. H. J. Marshall was doingtonsillectomies under local an-estesia. Another interne was as-sisting him. I watched while heoperated two patients, bothadults. I had the temptation tosit down there and have Dr.Marshall dig out some old rem-nants of tonsils from my ownthroat, he seemed to do it soeasily and with so little discom-fort to the patients. Of courseI knew what a contract the nextday or two might bring in dis-comfort to the throat.

Then a very hurried visit downto the laboratory where Dr. Cashwas surrounded ;by all mannerof equipment for diagnostic andresearch work, completed thevisit to an institution that everyosteopathic physician should beproud of, and where any studentcan receive instruction and train-ing he need never make apologyfor.

DR. SMOCK VISITS IN DESMOINES

THE LOG BOOK

Being ever conscious of thecourtesy extended by the LogBook and the Des Moines StillCollege in extending the IowaSociety free space in their pub-lication, we are a loss sometimesas to what to say and yet notconsume too much of the spacefurnished and paid for by theCollege. We are grateful for thecourtesy and trust we may nevercrowd over on to the other fel-low's territory.

All Iowa Osteopaths are mind-ful of the fact that the SpecialSession of the Legislature is nowin session and under the capabledirection of our workers, whohave charge of affairs, we trusteach and every one will respondin every way asked and do itRIGHT NOW. Yes, that meansmoney donations, but it meansin a much larger way active co-operation and assistance and ifyou are asked to do somethingthat our Legislative Research Di-rector asks you to do, do it ashe has a definite reason for ask-ing you and not someone else.

Just recently the last issue ofthe Buckeye Osteopath reachedour desk and the Ohioans areseeking an independent exam-ing board in their state. If therank and file of the Ohio Osteo-

.... ~__ 1 ... A<. -; _ r-'

paths are half as entnusiasticand osteopathic as the editor ofthat publication, they cannothelp but go over the top in theirattempt. We are not acquaintedwith the editor of that publica-tion, but it is the most inspiringand peppy publication we haveseen in many moons.

In last month's issue of theLog Book we mentioned publish-ing the names of the membersof the Society. This idea waspresented by one of those who islisted as partially paid. Wethink it has its merits. There isstill time to pay your dues andsecure the star in the new A. O.A. directory, but the dues willhave to be paid this month. Per-haps some of you think yourdues are paid and will be disap-pointed not to find a star in theDirectory when it comes out.Look over the list as submittedto the Log Book and governyourself accordingly. This listwas sent in the afternoon ofNovember 9th. Last year a veryprominent member of the So-ciety and one who has contrib-uted heavily in time and moneydid not receive a star and didwe catch it. Fact of the matteris he absolutely forgot the dues.

There will be some names noton this list that haven't been onthe Society rolls for severalyears-there will lbe others thatthus far have neglected to pay.We are not saying, "Thou shalt"as we do not know the condi-tions, perhaps some of you arehelping out other members ofyour family and haven't themoney right now, we are not at-tempting to pass judgment-BUT we do feel professional ob-ligations are as much a duty andobligation as the office rent andshould receive like consideration.

The following are taken fromthe Society files by districts. Wewon't attempt to give the num-ber of practicing doctors in eachdistrict as that would make therecord look quite embarrassingindeed. If your name isn't here,send in your dues and we willlist you next month. It has beensuggsted we publish non-mem-bers-but that would take theentire Log Book-so we can't dothat but we will publish newmembers from month to month.

Iowa Adult Health ClinicThe second chapter of the

work being done by the IowaAdult Health Clinic is almostcompleted. The personnel andthe officers of the committeewere the same as last year, butmany new faces were seen onthe examining staff. The inten-tion is to change about half thestaff each year to give as manydifferent doctors as possible theopportunity to attend this inten-sive post-graduate course.

If you have read Dr. Becker'sarticle in the October Journal,you have a splendid word pictureof this clinic, and I can proceedto give an account of the actualwork done.

But first let me tell you thatone of our delightful experiencesthis year was meeting the newmembers of our staff, and findingthem doing such splendid work.Some of them were strangers tous all, but in that short weekwe became friends. It was a joyto find them, to be able to givethem this clinic evperience, andto widen our friendships andtheirs. But for the clinic wemight never have known themin this intimate way.

The conductors were most ef-ficient and generous in theirservice, and anxious to returnagain next year, because of theexperience they receive.

The number examined thisyear was somewhat reduced be-cause one hour was cut fromthe examining time for each day.The number was still quite siz-able, being 324, the most in anyone day being 56.

This year we secured the dataas to those who were havingtheir first contact with Osteo-pathy. The records shows 185with no previous contact, andmany others who only had one ortwo treatments. When you con-sider those facts you can see thetremendous influence of thisclinic on educating the publicosteopathically. The quality ofthat education is well illustratedby a letter I received from aCounty Superintendent, who withhis family have passed throughthe clinic last year and this. Hesaid, "I want to say that I hadone of the best examinations atthe Clinic held at the State Fairthat I have ever had. I wasvery much pleased with the ex-aminations given the other mem-bers of my family. These ex-aminations were very thoroughand satisfactory."

Every osteopath of the Statecan be proud of the type of ex-aminations given at this clinic.The full scope of osteopathicpractice is clearly shown. Thediagnosis and recommendationsare sound. The A. O. A. caserecord was used and no partialexaminations were made.

To make the clinic of the mostpossible service to the profes-sion, each record is copied. Thiscopy is sent to the osteopathic

doctor requested by the patient,are in case no request is made,to the osteopath in that local-ity. A postcard is also sent tothe patient saying the doctor hasthe record. This means extraexpense for records, postage, andcards, but comes as near puttingthe patient on your treatmenttable as it is humanly possibleto do. You can complete thetranaction by writing the patientyourself, that you have theirrecord and will be glad to beof service to them. Will you doit?

A clipping service this yearthrough the month of Augustwas maintained and furnishedsome interesting information.During that time 18 inches ofdisplay advertising appeared, 50inches of readers, doctors leavingon vacations, etc., and 75 inchesof Clinic readers, which did notcost one cent. This was partlysecured through the publicityman for the Fair Board, butmost of it came through the useby the doctors of the article sentthem for their home papers. NoClinic publicity was of the dis-play type.

I contend that the type andkind of service this clinic af-fords is certainly worthy of thesupport of every doctor, andshould be put into every statewhere possible.

We were greatly honored byseveral distinguished visitors,men and women of affairs in ourprofession ,whose judgment weall respect. Dr. Geo. Laughlin,Mrs. Laughlin and Mary Janecame up on one day. Dr. A. D.Becker, Mrs Becker and son, an-other day. Dr. Geo. Conley,and Drs. Margaret and J. L.Jones, another day. We weredelighted to have them here be-cause we like them personallyand we appreciated the interestin the clinic that these visitsshowed.

Dr. Della B. Caldwell,C airman.

Sixth District Meeting

A brief report covering theSixth District meeting at Boone,October 19th, indicates thatwhile the attendance was not ashigh as expected the programwas highly appreciated.

Dr. F. A. Paresi of Des Moinesspoke on "Comparative Thera-peutics," Dr. Harry Gamble ofMissouri Valley covered the.question, "What is Osteopathyand What Osteopathy is," andDr. George Conley of KansasCity addressed the meeting onthe subject, "The Old Time Re-ligion." Following a businessmeeting Drs. Conley and Gamblecontinued on the program.

The meeting next year will beheld in Adel with the followingofficers presiding: Dr. Laura E.Miller, President; Dr. A. D.Craft, vice president; Dr. RalphBrooker, district trustee and Dr,L. L. Wade, secretary-treasurer.

The January GraduatingClass

Another example of "Quality,not Quantity" is found in goingover the roll of candidates forgraduation the 19th of January.As the following list indicatesthey are few in number but ifyou had the opportunity of con-tacting this group you wouldknow that they have been ex-ceptional students and leaveStill College with a thoroughtraining. The small number inthe class has made it necessaryfor them to do more than doublework in the clinic and this hasof course been to their advan-tage. These boys are truly"Trained in Practice."

At the present writing wehave not secured the detail ofwhere they will locate but wecongratulate the community inwhich they decide to practice thescience of Osteopathy.

Remember these names: 0.L. Cooper, Homer Fredricks, H.L. Gulden, W. Lawrence, Wen-dell Kessler, Louis Kesten, H. L.Stevison, and E. J. Winslow.

Dr. Don M. Lewis Dies

We quote below from a letterreceived from Dr. H. V. Glen,president of the Arkansas Osteo-pathic Association:

"I notice in your issue of No-vember 15, 1933, an article byDonald M. Lewis, titled, 'AfterEight Years.' This served to re-mind me as to just how uncer-tain life is, since I attended Dr.Lewis' funeral in Little Rocklast week and thought you wouldappreciate the information con-cerning his death.

"Dr. Lewis died at his homein Little Rock, Tuesday, Novem-ber 21, shortly after having eat-en a hearty dinner. He was rest-ing before making some calls anddied suddenly while reading. Hehad been secretary-treasurer ofthis association for a number ofyears and was one of the bestknown Osteopathic physicians inArkansas. His passing leaves avacancy in our ranks in Arkan-sas that will be hard to fill. Hiswork as secretary was perform-ed so efficiently that few of usknew the tremendous amount ofwork he did. We feel that wehave lost a friend as well as anassociate."

Since not all of the fraterni-ties are participating as origin-ally planned, the schedule hasbeen changed. It has been nec-essary to bring in outside teamswhich helps to add interest tothe evening's entertainment.

Effective the next game thecontests will be played at 9o'clock on Tuesday nighit in-stead of 8 o'clock on Wednesdaysas in the past.

The students so far haveshown very little interest inthese games and do not appreci-ate the good time they can haverazzing their best friend.

We would certainly like to seethe students show a little inter-est in these games at the JewishCommunity Center and at thesame time receive a little diver-sion from their usual routine.

They Keep You Busy!

Closing his roll book at noonof November 21, Ye Editor hop-ped into the chariot and sped toK. C. This was at the kind in-vitation of Dr. C. A. Tedrick ofthe staff of the college and chair-man of the program committeeof the local association. We metin the fine newly remodeled col-lege building and it is somethingto be proud of.

The local group had just thekind of a crowd present that welike to talk to. Coaches, andthose in the city interested inphysical education. Many Osteo-pathic physicians and a scatter-ing of friends. To us it was atreat to talk about the value ofOsteopathy in the care of Ath-letes.

An added pleasure was theopportunity the following morn-

Student Loan Fund

Since the inauguration of theStudent Loan Fund by the Amer-ican Osteopathic Association twoyears ago, fourteen senior stu-dents, representing the six rec-ognized Osteopathic colleges,have been granted loans, withoutwhich they could not have grad-uated. All colleges participateequally in sharing the advan-tages of this fund.

The sale of Christmas Seals,

together with several very sub-stantial gifts, has made this wor-thy enterprise possible. TheLoan Fund Committee is verygrateful for the generous andhearty support given by the' pro-fession. The same gratefulnessis apparent in the whole studentbody of every Osteopathic col-lege. This movement was initi-ated and its activities are con-ducted by the American Osteo-pathic Association which spon-sors the fund for the AmericanOsteopathic Foundation.

Only a small percentage ofthe eligible and needy candidatesare granted loans because of thelimited amount of money avail-able. Your donation and those ofyour friends will meet thiscrisis. Why not give to a causewhich is purely Osteopathic?

Do not limit your donation tothe number of seals you can use.Perhaps you can stimulate someinterested friend of Osteopathyor some club or group to make asubstantial gift to this fund. Seeany of the following students:Cooper, Halladay, Devine, Ryan,^1 T1' El T A 4i n fv

Dr. Perrin T. Wilsonto Visit Us

Word has been received fromDr. Perrin T. Wilson, presidentof the A.O.A., that he will makeus a flying visit, January 4.

Plans have not been completedfor every minute of his stay dur-ing the day, but we will guar-antee that he will not have muchtime to shop. Our observation isthat if he keeps up his scheduleof visiting during the next sixmonths as strenuous as the past,that his practice will suffer, butwe, as a profession, will beahead.

Students Banqueted

Monday evening, Nov. 20, Lin-coln High School's football teamwas awarded for their servicesduring the past football season.

A wonderful dinner was serv-ed and you should have seen theboys go for it. (Ask Houpt andSchwartzbaugh if they did jus-tice to a free meal.) To top offthe dinner, they served ice creamand cake for dessert.

Following the dinner, Mr.Hutchins, vice-principal of theschool and chairman of the ban-quet, gave a short talk. He thencalled on certain members of thefootball team for short talks.

Having called on the boys, hecalled on parents. I must addhere that there were some nicethings said about the boys ,theircoach, and the two Doctors thattook care of their boys through-out the season.

The greatest surpise of theevening came when the chair-man called on Houpt and Swartz-baugh for a short talk. They gotalong in great shape, but theirfaces were as red as the faces ofthe boys who had talked beforethem. (Ask Houpt he was call-ed on first.)

Coach Arden McClain was thelast to speak. His talk was shortbut he brought home his pointin fine fashion.

His subject was, "ControllingEmotions on Any Team." Ateam, he said, cannot expect tobring home a victory unless theyhave the full co-operation ofevery individual playing on thatteam. He praised our Doctorsfor their work with the boys.Here he added that during thefull season only one boy waskept from any game on accountof injuries. That being a brokenclavicle, sustained in the Lin-coln-East game.'

THE LOG BOOK

ATLAS CLUBThe house was the scene of a

Freshman Class Dance Saturday,November 25th. From all re-ports the event was a decidedsuccess.

Many of the fellows werehome over Thanksgiving vaca-tion. Now we are all lookingforward to a good visit at Xmastime.

Recent purchase of a pingpong table and equipment hasenlivened the evenings aroundthe house. All of the membersare enjoying the sport exceptCasy Kessler. His waistline can-not stand bending over chairsand looking under davenportsfor the elusive celluloid ball.

Basketball was resumed thisweek after a few weeks lay off.A game with the Non-frats wasplayed Wednesday and anyonewho thinks modern wrestling isrough should have seen thatgame.

Bro. Scheffold claims theduck-eating championship of theclub. After eating Thanksgivingdinner he claims that 34 duckbones remained on his plate. Ifhe ever gets to Perry again hecan take his own ducks.

Bro. Forbes, at present out ofschool, drops in quite often atthe club. His vocabulary seemsto increase with time.

Bro. Hickey moved into thehouse recently. He has the mis-fortune of sharing a room withBros. Scheffold and Bigsby. Theclub extends its sympathies toBro. Hickey. His case is indeeda very trying one.

For information regardingmarriage call Ed Lodish. Heassisted very nicely at a recentwedding. His name was men-tioned in the Sunday paper butno picture accompanied thewrite-up. How about it Ed?Wouldn't they accept your pic-ture?

Pledge Harry Stimpson hasbeen quite often of late in thecompany of a very nice Irishlass. You had better changeyour nationality Harry becausethe English won't rule over theIrish in all cases.

We were honored at our lastmeeting with the presence oftwo alumni members of the At-las Club, Dr. Virg Halladay andDr. Harry Marshall. In behalfof the Grand Council of the clubthey presented the Xyphiodchapter with a jewell designedaround an original Atlas pindating back to 1900. We wishto take this opportunity ofthanking the Grand Council forthe jewel and assure them ofour appreciation of this gift.

IOTA TAU SIGMADefinite information is not

available yet, but the evidenceis that all of the brothers had agood time Thanksgiving.

Brother Beghtol reports flattire trouble as part of hisThanksgiving program, but wedon't believe brother Pohl wasbothered that way.

The house was very glad tohave brother Irwin, of Corning,Nebraska, as a guest for a fewdays. Field members returningfor visits always have an inspir-ational influence. We believe allof the brothers feel "pepped" asa result of his visit.

We note that Brother Maloywas "here' with a bang in dis-section the other day.

Pledges Yukl and Dresser maybe seen nightly going into a hud-dle and whispering earnestly.Xmas is coming and that prob-ably accounts for it. After in-specting the picture on Frannie'sdresser we're sure Santa isn'tthe only reason for the enthusi-asm.

The juniors are all gettingtheir kits together ready forclinic next semester. "The thrillthat comes once in a lifetime,"or something.

Brother Gerow is having somereal trouble with impacted wis-dom teeth. Our sympathy, Bob.

Brother MacIntyre is going tostay in Des Moines over Xmas."My Gracious."

The chapter announces thepledging of Robert Hoefer, ofDayton, Ohio.

Brother Hobbs cheerfully re-linquishes his crown in favor ofbrother Pohl. We suggest a robeof "Brown" for our conqueringhero.

The chapter wishes everyonea Merry Xmas.

PHI SIGMA GAMMAKey-holes: Put my ear to the

keyhole of 304 the other dayand heard Miss Johnson ask BillMoore where his vaso, constric-tor center was. He answered,absent mindedly, "Oskaloosa."The change in blood pressure oc-casioned by his visits there areobvious.

Sports: Earl Jurgeson hasbeen crowned "HamburgerKing" in the 165 pound class,but it is reputed that as soon as"Whimpy" Irvin can reduce suf-ficiently tb enter that class, Earlwill need intensive training toretain his position. Irvin saysthat it isn't in keepng wth hisdignity to be a "paragrapher" sonext time we will give him acolumn.

Cupid Shoots Another Dart:One more victory for a perfectmarksman-Cupid. On Novem-ber 23rd, Cal Haupt gave abirthday surprise party to honorhis fiancee. Betty Ford. The

fraternity members and theirweaker moments were entertain-ed royally with a dinner, a danceand bridge . The Don Juan ele-ment at the house hopes Cupidagain shoots straight and soon.

Dr. Glen Fisher and wife weredinner guests at the house No-vember 12th.

The week-end parties are fun-aren't they, Joe and Gibby?Every other week, the radios andbridge table get a good workout.So do about twenty pairs ofshoes and two hardwood floors.

Hell week has conle and gone.Eleven men can inform you asto whether this should come un-der "Fun" or "No Fun."

Diekow always says he is go-ing to study over the week end.Of course Henry, you alwaysstudy over the weak end.

Alumni-Dr. H. Kesten, classof May, 1933, visited Des Moinesrecently.

Phi Sigma Gamma actives andpledges take this opportunity towish all who read this a MerryChristmas and a Happy NewYear.

DELTA OMEGADelta Omega wishes to an-

nounce the formal pledging onDecember 7 of Misses HelenButcher of Des Moines, DorothyFailing of Oxford, Michigan,Evelyn Ketman, Des Moines,Clarise Kieft, Muskegon, Michi-gan, Wilma Westfall, Indianola,Iowa, and Marybelle Ziegler,Cincinnati, Ohio.

The meeting was held at thehome of Dr. Genevieve Stoddard.After the business of the eve-ning the girls enjoyed bridgeand dancing.

The holidays were enjoyed bythe group in various ways. Somewere out of town and othersused the time to advantage herein the city.

Christmas bids fair to givemore and better good times. Thebig question is-going home.

The Delta girls enjoyed thehospitality of Phi Sigma Gammafraternity in their invitation ex-tended for the Fall Festivaldance, November 3.

A bit of work that we appreci-ated was the meeting at the At-las Club on November 20, 1933.Dr. Gladstone gave some inter-esting material, and practicalpoints on the Eye.

The Senior DanceAt the time of the publication

of the Log Book we are hearinggreat lot about a Senior Dance.From the preliminary informa-tion it is to be held at ParkView and will assume all of theappointments of an elite affair.The most important feature ofthe dance is the idea back of it.The Seniors feel that we do nothave enough get-together af-fairs. It is their idea to merelysponsor this as a gesture indi-cating their willingness to do agreat deal of work for the pleas-ure of seeing the student bodyhave an enjoyable evening. TheSeniors are to be complimentedon their efforts and every stu-dent in the college should sup-port this dance.

Good News!The Massachusetts Osteopath-

ic Hospital News of November,1933, carried the following itemthat should be of great interestto the whole profession. The col-lege situation in Boston has notbeen satisfactory for a numberof years. There is no reason whywe cannot have a strong collegethere. Osteopathy has enjoyedan excellent reputation in Bostonand vicinity and with the facil-ities of the hospital available,there is every reason to believethat the proper kind of a collegewould be an asset in many ways.

We congratulate those behindthe movement and urge those inthe immediate territory to sup-port this new institution. Asystem of therapy without strongcolleges back of it will eventu-ally die and the Osteopathic pro-fession must appreciate this factas a basis for the perpetuationof our science.

The item referred to above isas follows:

New CollegeOne of the interesting an-

nouncements made at the recentNew England Convention inWinchendon was that of an at-tempt to start a new college forNew England.

On the 18th day of July, 1933,a charter was granted by theCommonwealth of Massachusettsto the New England School Os-teopathy for the purpose of thefollowing: To establish andmaintain a school for the pro-motion and practice of, and in-struction in, the science of Os-teopathy including medical, sur-gical, anatomical and physiolog-ical knowledge and such othersubjects as may be deemed nec-essary and proper by the Boardof Directors; and maintain ahospital and dispensary depart-ments and conduct clinics there-in.

The incorporators were, Dr.Philip S. Taylor, Dr. Charles R.Wakeling, Dr. William T. Know-les, Dr. J. Harold Evers, Dr.Frances Graves, Dr. Paul G. Nor-ris, Mr. Orville S. Poland, attor-ney.

The permanent trustees are:Dr. J. Harold Evers, President;Dr. Charles R. Wakeling, VicePresident and Dean; Dr. WilliamT. Knowles, Treasurer; Dr.Frances Graves, Secretary; Dr.Perrin T. Wilson, Dr. Mark Tor-doff and Orville S. Poland.

Plans are being shaped nowwith the view of starting a fresh-man class next fall under therequirements of the Board ofAssociated Colleges of the Amer-ican Osteopathic Association.

Dr. Charles R. Wakeling, whois acting as Dean, will be gladto hear from any member of theprofession in regard to this newmove.

New Students

The publication of a list ofgraduating Seniors must againremind us that a new class is tomatriculate very soon. Wewonder if you in the field real-ize that at this time there is aremarkable opportunity for youto contact some prospective stu-dents of Osteopathy. Many ofour colleges have had their pre-liminary exams and have on ac-count of the low grading elim-inated many students who wouldbe a success in another line ofwork. The fact that a studentfails to come up to standard in asubject in college that he is notreally interested in does not nec-essarily bar him from work ofanother kind. Also we havemany young men and womenwho have not definitely decidedwhich college they will attend.Get in touch with these and tellthem of the opportunities of Os-teopathy.

On To WichitaThe Log Book is in receipt of

a letter from Dr. J. Deason ofWichita relative to the nationalconvention to be held there nextsummer. Early returns from acanvas made of the adjacentstates indicate an unusual inter-est in the program and all otherfeatures Ibeing offered by Wichi-ta. The committee is preparingto take care of our largest con-vention for many years. Theprogram and entertainment plansare well under way. Announce-ments will be made each monthin the Log Book regarding prog-ress along this line.

Thanks, Dr. Slater!Last summer, Dr. Slater stop-

ped in Des Moines, on his wayto Arizona, to inspect the college.We are pleased to know that hiswestern trip was successful andthat he has returned to his officein Wayland, Michigan.

Dr. Slater has the distinctionof being Health Officer in hishome city for the past eightyears and it would indeed be in-teresting to hear of his exper:iences.

Assemblies

On November 10, Dr. Cash in-troduced Mr. Wilson, who hasbeen working with the State leg-islative committee. Mr. Wilsonhas made it his business to con-tact the majority of the profes-sion in the state and he knowswhereof he speaks on both sidesof the question. It is very evi-dent that the legislators willhave a much better idea of Os-teopathy when Mr. Wilson getsthrough with them and it mightbe added that some of our ownprofession have learned a thingor two. We would rate Mr. Wil-son as a very high class educa-tor.

Miss Ava Johnson managed todrag Dr. M. D. Kramer awayfrom his work, November 17.We all know of the excellentOsteopathic training all Drakeathletes have had under the careof Dr. Kramer. In his talk heexplained methods of diagnosisand treatment for the more com-mon knee injuries. At this timeof the year it was especially ap-preciated, since our Seniors areworking with several footballteams and will soon start withbasketball.

Dr. Mary Golden brought anationally known speaker to usNovember 24. Mrs. Max Mayerof our city, has for many yearsbeen interested in world prob-lems and has been called to allparts or the country to serve asa speaker. Our objection andhers was that the time was toolimited. It was a real pleasureto hear her. Mrs. Mayer wasgiven the city award in 1932 forservice to the community, dueprincipally to her work at theJewish Community Center.

Belated BroadcastDon. M. Mills of the Senior

class, kept this a secret for sometime but finally had to tell. Heand Miss Romaine Croil motoredto Conception, Missouri, July26, and were married.

Hunters!! Oh, Yeah?If we had all the ducks, pheas-

ants, etc., that were promisedthe office during the late season,some of us would not be waitingfor a way to weigh more. Maybeit is better for some of the fac-ulty that these students failedto get by the game warden. Buthow about the grade warden?

We Cannot Accept Ads But-write to Dr. J. S. Baughman atBurlington if you are interestedin purchasing a large home suit-able for a hospital.

And-We know where you can buy

a disarticulated skeleton.

The Only Hope.Vaudeville Singer: "And for

Bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay medown and die."

Listener (rising): "Is MissLaurie in the audience?"

Speaking of OperationsWe often get an inquiry as to

just how much surgery studentsof Still College see and get totake part in. Those of you whohave attended Still know the ad-vantages of the surgical clinic,but some who have never beenin Des Moines have of course noidea of the extent of this divisionof the work.

The following cases have beenoperated before the surgical clin-ic at the College since the be-ginning of the semester.

1 Ectopic pregnacy.5 Appendectomy.3. Cases of pus tubes requir-

ing double salpingectomy.2 Large ovarian cysts.4 Perineorrhaphy.7 Cervical Cautery.1 Herniotomy.4 Abdominal hysterect o m y,

three sub-total and one total.258 minor surgical cases, most

of which were tonsillectomies,adenoidectomies and several cir-cumcisions.

In addition to this abscessesof a minor nature were operatedat the college clinic and in thesurgery class.

During the past month thestudents have had an opportun-ity to observe four blood trans-fusions and several blood injec-tions, three senior students be-ing used as donors in thesetransfusions.

We feel that this is quite anadequate variety of both minorand major surgical cases for aperiod of three months and thatthe student body should receivesufficient instruction in this widevariety and volume of cases nec-essary for the average clinicalpractice.

Death of Dr. DavidsonThe death of Dr. Lilla R. Dav-

idson of Charles City, came as asurprise and shock to the hun-dreds of her friends in the pro-fession. To the Iowa professionshe was known by all as an ac-tive hard worker and a loyalsupporter of organized Osteo-pathy. Dr. Davidson was thisyear serving as President of theT-%-v Tn n -ria nr +o-f th TT W NJ A

and only recently wrote the Sec-retary concerning her plans forthe convention next May. TheO.W.N.A. and the profession atlarge have lost a real workerand a sincere friend.

Graduating in 1922 from theDes Moines Still College, she re-mained for a time serving in theObsterical Department of thatinstitution. Before locating inCharles City in 1925, she prac-ticed for a short period of time-in David City, Nebraska.

Dr. Davidson had a very pleas-ing personality and this coupledwith a thorough preparation forher life work, she had establish-ed a most successful practice atCharles City, who as we of theprofession, will mourn her lossas a friend and an Osteopathicphysician.

Drs. Marshall and FactoGo to Cedar Rapids

On October 19, Dr. H. J. Mar-shall and I motored to CedarRapids to attend the O'steopathicconvention of the fifth district.

We left Des Moines aboutseven o'clock and arrived at theRoosevelt Hotel in Cedar Rapids,about ten o'clock and had timeto visit with some of the Doc-tors before the convention wascalled to order at ten thirty.

The morning program waschanged to permit Mr. Wilson,our legislative research man, togive his talk first, in order thathe finish in time to drive toBoone, and attend the meetingof the sixth district that after-noon. Following Mr. Wilson'stalk the meeting was adjourneduntil after lunch.

About thirty or thirty-fivewere present at the luncheon andthe Roosevelt Hotel should becomplimented for the type offood and service they gave usduring the convention.

After the luncheon, the con-vention was again called to or-der ana the business session tak-en up in which the officers forthe coming year were electedand other business transacted.The business session out of theway the regular program wastaken up. I was first to speak,giving a discussion on diagnosisin acute respiratory diseases.Dr. Marshall then gave a talk onacute and chronic deases of theear, nose, throat and paransalsinuses the diagnosis and treat-enmt. Many questions were ask-ed about treatment and Dr.Marshall always answered themto the satisfaction of all. I thentalked about ten minutes on thevalue and importance of takinga case history when making acomplete examination. This wasfollowed by a round table dis-cussion which lasted for aboutthirty minutes and was enjoyedby all.

We left Cedar Ra!pids at four-thirty and arrived home aboutseven-thirty, a little tired buthappy because we had met andtalked with those Doctors whomwe see once or twice a year.

THE LOG BOOK

The last issue of the LogBook carried the names of thosehaving paid dues to the IowaSociety for the year 1933-34.The Society year, just as theAOA year, runs from June firstto June first. This we can't over-emphasize as we have found agoodly number, four or five thathave paid since last January firstand were laboring under the im-pression their dues were paid forthe year. The Society year 1933-34, started June first and runsuntil next June first. Below aregiven the ones paying state duessince the last issue of the LogBook.

President Clow's active cam-paign for members hasn't start-ed as this is being written but isscheduled for the week of Dec.11th.

We have been asked why wehaven't published the names ofthose subscribing to the Legisla-tive Fund. This fund, our Legis-lative Worker is collecting inperson and makes reports to theLegislative Commitee and un-doubtedly will make a final re-port at the State Conventionnext spring. We have had no re-port given us of this and henceare unable to publish such.

As the Iowa profession knowsfrom a recent letter from theChairman of the LegislativeCommittee, our bill is now in-troduced in both houses of theLegislature during this, theSpecial Session. It is the respon-sibility of everyone to help thiswork and as our Legislative Re-search worker is extremely busynow that the legislature is insession, if you will send yourcontribution either to Dr. Park,400 Capitol City Bank Bldg.,Des Moines, or to myself, we willsee that it reaches the propersource. Don't hesitate, - do itNOW.

It should be remembered thisLegislative Research Workerwill carry through to the nextregular session of the Legisla-ture, if for any reason he doesnot accomplish his work at thissession. He is very confident ofsuccess and has many timesstated to the Committee he hasnever failed to achieve his objectin any legislative attempt he sawfit to enter. Let's each and everyone support him in this work.

President Clow and the Secre-tary have both had letters mis-interpretating the doctor's state-ment made in his letter tothe profession under date ofNov. 4th. Since at least threemembers of the profession havestated their reaction, we wouldtake the space here to clear upthe matter, so if by possiblechance anyone else is laboringunder a false impression it maybe cleared. It is too bad the let-ter was misunderstood and mis-quoted, as Dr. Park in his let-ter under date of Dec. 7, quot-ing from a personal letter fromDr. Clow, states, "There isn't asingle one in the profession more

sold on the present plan of legis-lative activity than I am."

Dr. Clow's statement in hisletter to the profession has beenmisinterpretated in respect tothe Legislative Program to read:"It is going to be a dud," "callsthe program a dud." Dr. Clowstated, "Our legislative program,speaking frankly, looks like adud thus far." Dr. Clow had nothought of casting any reflec-tions on the Legislative Commit-tee, or upon the work of ourLegislative Research worker. Hegoes on in the same paragraphdeploring the lact of supportthis legislative program had hadat the date of writing and urg-ing the supporth and co-opera-tion within our own ranks.

Dr. Clow IS most heartily infavor of this plan and in his let-ter of Nov 4th devoted an entireparagraph to our LegislativeWorker, urging his support:-"please give him your undividedattention and assistance."

If by any possible chance anyof you have held beck as indi-cated in the letter from yourLegislative Chairman, from sub-scribing to this work on accountof any remarks in the President'sletter, please again read his let-ter over carefully and then con-tribute to the work-it is yourwork and my work. I have con-tributed and the committee hascontributed-have you?

Dr. R. K. Homan, Sec.

Polk County OsteopathicAssociation

The Polk County OsteopathicAssociation met Dec. 8, 1933, attheir regular dinner and meet-ing in the Chamberlain Hotel,with an excellent attendance.

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, Dean ofStill College, spoke, and the sub-ject was "Treatment of Burns."

The doctor, in his discussionemphasized, first, the seriousnessof second and third degreeburns. Second, he pointed outthe pathology of burns to bemarked engorgement of the ad-renal glands, loss of body fluids,diminuation of blood, concen-tration of hemaglobin and ana-phylaxis due to the absorption ofthe foreign protein produced bythe burn. Third, he said thetreatment of choice today wasbased upon the pathology; thenexplained that the primary shockmust be controlled with opiates;the systemic conditions by theuse of adrenlin chlorides; byputting at least two quarts offluid into the patient's body eachtwenty-four hours, and to pre-vent anaphylaxis by sprayingthe burned area with tannicacid.

These are only a few of themany helpful things brought outby Dr. Schwartz.

The Association has invitedDr. P. T. Wilson, President ofthe National Osteopathic Asso-ciation, to be our guest on Jan.4, 1933. This will be Dr. Wil-son's only stop in the State ofIowa and the local associationwishes to extend to every Osteo-pathic physician in Iowa an in-vitation to attend this meeting.It will be held at 6:00 p. m. atthe Hotel Chamberlain and res-ervations must be in by Jan. 1st.Those of you outside the city ofDes Moines, address your reser-vation to Dr. C.

As you know, one of the chiefpurposes of the Foundation is toadminister funds to help sustainOsteopathic institutions. Themembers of our profession arenot themselves financially- ableto satisfy the imperative needsof these institutions. We mustseek aid from the host of kindlypeople who have received bene-fit from Osteopathy. There arethousands of laymen who wouldbe willing to make direct giftsor bequests to our cause throughthe Foundation if they wereproperly informed as to what weare doing for humanity.

The Secretary of the Founda-tion has been requested to se-cure from our members severalthousand names of the better-to-do friends of Osteopathy. Wewish to cultivate in them a de-sire to assist Organized Osteo-pathy to carry on its wonderfulwork.

Please put on yQur "thinkingcap" and send in the name of atleast one individual who mightrespond favorably to our educa-tional campaign. Be assured ofone thing-your friend will notbe solicited for funds in thiscampaign. He will be given dig-nified literature from time totime, calculated to make him aneven more enthusiastic support-er of Osteopathy, and of you ashis practitioner.

We plan to mail to this pre-ferred list Osteopathic statisticalrecords in the treatment of var-ious diseases, records of ourhospitals, clinics, and the Re-search Institute. Also occasionalcopies of the Osteopathic Maga-zine containing articles of spec-ial interest.

A list of several thousandnames will be a definite step to-ward eventually securing theendowment so necessary for theperpetuation of our institutions.

We know you will do yourpart. Send that preferred nametoday to the Secretary of theFoundation.

Everybody knew "Hub," that1 funny little fellow with the en-- gaging grin, whose secret am-

Everybody knew him andeverybody that knew him likedhim-they couldn't help it. Itwould be of no use to try andbe him enemy-it just couldn'tbe done.

But "Hub" is gone-gone forgood. He'll never be back. He'llnever run another slide-neverbe able to go out of his way foryou again. Death has caught upwith him; overtaken him andpassed on.

Is it any wonder that sorrowprevails throughout this placehe called his home while atschool? Is it any wonder thatwe just can't realize what hastaken place -that "Hub" willnever be with us again-neverjoin in those bull sessions thatare so much a part of fraternitylife? But there will always bea spot for him in our hearts-not just deep down in one littlecorner; he meant more to usthan that.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

To the Ladies-(andGentlemen)

With this issue of the LogBook we initiate a series of ar-ticles intended to inspire you towork harder for Osteopathy. Tothose of you in the field we callyour attention to the special ar-ticles by the named authors andwant you to use these to inducemore young women to enter thestudy of Osteopathy. To thoseof you who are contemplatingthe study of Osteopathy we wantyou to feel more assured of theplace you will occupy in collegeand your field work.

The late depression has cer-tainly brought out one fact aboveevery other. It is that your fu-true is more secure in profes-sional work than in any othertype of employment. The nextseveral years will prove that in-tensive college training alongprofessional lines is a certainasset.

Every girl should have acourse in therapy even if shenever intends to become an ac-tive practitioner. As the head ofthe home she assumes responsi-bilities that in their fulfillmentshould have basic instruction inthe training and care of the bodyand mind of her children.

At the present writing none ofour colleges have as high a per-centage of young women stu-dents as they should have to fillthe vacancies made by retire-ment. This is not adding to thefield and every active Osteopathshould make a special effort toincrease this number. The timeto begin this campaign is now.Make it a point to meet and talkwith young women in highschool or college and aid themin their decision to study Osteo-pathy.

Even taken from a cold mone-tary standpoint, an investmentin Osteopathy will pay dividendsif its influence is never extendedbeyond the home.

We need more students, bothyoung men and women, in Osteo-pathy, BUT at present the menare keeping up their percentagedue to the absence of the youngwomen and this condition shouldbe corrected.

Team PhysicianThe Wisconsin News recently

grave of each individual. Forsuch is the scope of this sciencethat there is no place to stop.The person who ceases to go for-ward will invariably slip back.

I am going to take part out ofthat field and give some impres-sions of what goes on right herein school. To begin, each onemust have his candle of enthus-iasm lighted, and that is up tous here in school and to thoseother students who are severaljumps ahead of us, out practic-ing. This can't be done too thor-oughly-for the more determi-nation the student starts outwith, the better will be his work,for the academic course is exact-ing and at times a bit hard tosee around.

The first years are essentiallythe foundation. The sciences ofAnatomy, microscopic and gross,of Physiology of the human or-ganism, various forms of Chem-istry, etc., are to fix a normal onwhich will soon be laid Pathol-ogy in the more or less abstract.Then, joy of joys, as a Junior A,the actual problems must befaced, pathology in clinic form.

The curriculum has been ar-ranged to give the embryo doc-tor something to work with be-fore this time-training in theuse of these "ten fingers" wehear so much about. It is wortha lot of the effort already put inwhen a patient responds, as mostof them do, under carefully su-pervised treating, and you hon-estly know they feel better. Theworld looks bright now becauseyou are a useful part of it, andno one is so grateful as the illperson whom you relieve of pain.

Then one settles down to pol-ish that ability and to add thefiner points. Laboratory work isemphasized and different clinicsare set up for additional work.Lines especially interesting towomen students are the Pediat-rics division, the Gynecology,Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, etc.It need not be narrowed to thesebranches at all, but there is abig field here for women. Workin Obstetrics rather combinesthose first two, and surely betterclinic facilities than we haveright here could not be found.

About the time this gets set-tled and running smoothly, ath-letic work looms up. Osteopathyhas a big place in keeping teamsand individuals fit, and as atrainer you work into homes,gaining confidence for yourselfand your profession. Osteopathyis not so widely known that weshould miss any chance to makeit friends and supporters. Com-petitive athletics is quite a ques-tion, especially for girls, and weCAN minimize any bad after ef-fects. This care is becomingmore and more popular. Follow-ing teams through a completeseason gives a liberal educationin acute injury work.

Surgery, to watch others, andactually to assist at times, teach-es technic and adds something alittle hard to define to our self

confidence. We all respect anoperating room and the calm,cool-headed surgeon. A sense ofpower is carried over to otherwork that only asepsis can teachas well as necessity for routineand co-operation.

So, in my Senior year, I lookback a bit to wish I had studiedharder so far, and forward witha bit of panic sometimes, wish-ing experience came bottled up,but determined to make the mostof the advantages offered righthere at Still College. It is a full-time proposition leading, I amsure, into a useful life-andthere is room for more studentsright here.

Practicing Osteopathy(Continued from Page 1)

ture there has been some formof battle but always the Osteo-pathic profession has come outmore or less on top. Quite likelythis struggle will continue to goon for many years to come. Itcertainly adds a little spice toprofessional living. With all thisfight for legal life the professiongrows in the good old State ofIowa. Each year splendid youngmen and women are being add-ed to our ranks. The laboratorytraining in our Osteopathic col-leges will equal that of some ofthe best universities. The collegeclinical experience is exceptional.The doctors out in the field areindeed glad to welcome the newworkers in the profession. Sev-eral strategic locations for Os-teopathy have been vacated thepast two years in Iowa by thehand of death. It is to be hopedthat strong fine young men andwomen may be located in theseseveral communities. When oncewell established in a neighbor-hood it is a double loss for anyOsteopathic practice to be closedin that community.

Never has there been such abrilliant outlook for Osteopathyas at the present time. Osteo-pathy challenges the ingenuity,the mentality, spirituality of thephysician who would make hisprofessional living a success.

During the past few years ofdepression there has been nofield of work that has offered ahappier outlook. There is noprofession that offers more possi-bility of extending help to one'sfellow man, whether rich orpoor, than Osteopathy.

Youth looking forward toyears of service, community con-sciousness, means of building upan estate and providing forthemselves an adequate income,would do well to investigatetraining for an Osteopathic prac-tice. As in all professions, therehave been those who have come,stayed a short time and driftedinto other lines of work, but thebig majority of Osteopathic phy-sicians in Iowa have stood byand are outstanding communityassets in the cities where theyhave made their homes.

If looking forward again to abusiness life, there would be nohesitation in choosing the Os-teopathic profession. What moresatisfactory tribute can one payto the choice of a life work?

and each will in shaky voice andknees get up and tell how theyhave been looking forward tothis night especially because theycan eat for once without payingfor it.

Regardless of the dangersahead, as they are thrust outinto a cold (look at your ther-mometer) world, each memberof the class has plans and someof them very definite. At thetime of going to press we werehanded a rather brief outline ofthis class and a word about each.This is offered for your informa-tion.

Dr. O. L. Cooper will take theIowa board and remain in DesMoines for the time being.

Dr. H. M. Fredricks will do thesame.

Dr. H. L. Gulden will take theIowa board but is undecided asto his location.

Dr. W. F. Kessler will takeIowa and S. Dakota boards. Hislocation has not been definitelysettled. Probably wait and seewhat happens to Babe Ruth.

Dr. L. R. Kesten will returnto Michigan, taking the boardthere and locating in Detroit.

Dr. W. E. Lawrence will ac-company Dr. Kesten to Michiganto take the board but is not cer-tain as to his ultimate location.

Dr. L. H. Stevison will takeIowa and Kansas boards and willinterne at the Southwestern Os-teopathic Hospital at Wichita,Kansas.

Dr. E. J. Winslow will takethe Iowa board and will interneat the Des Moines General Hos-pital.

Class Day will be Friday, Jan-uary 12. The only advance in-formation we have on this pro-gram is that Bernie Lowe willbring his Savery Hotel Orchestrato the college in honor of thisclass. Bring your asbestos ear-drums.

The trustees, the faculty andthe student body of Still Collegeextend to this class every goodwish for their success. We canrecommend each and every oneto the profession and hope thatwe will hear of them and fromthem.

THE LOG BOOK

At the time of going to pressthe editor has not received anytext from the state editor forthis issue of the Log Book. Thelast issue in December carriedsome statements under thisheading sent in by the state ed-itor that should have been mod-ified, but due to the fact thatthe forms were closed, it wasimpossible to make any changesat the time the request wasmade. We regret this very muchbut at the same time feel thatthe expressions were not reallyas serious as might be thoughtat first inspection.

We know from experiencethat officials are often misunder-stood and yet they are workingwith all of their energy to getthe best out of the associationand for the associati n. You inthe field little realize the vastamount of work a state office re-quires and it must be done alongwith keeping up a practice. Ourofficers are elected with enthus-iasm which as a rule dies assoon as the ballots are counted.State officers are expected toperform miracles over night andfor every dollar paid in to thestate treasury we want one hun-dred out or no more dollars.

The state manuscript receiveda day late will embarass usagain but we will continue tocarry this space as long as thestate society wishes to use it andwill offer no more excuses.

Below we add the names ofthree state members who havepaid their dues since the publi-cation of the last list.

Dr. Wilson's Visit(Continued from Page 1)

Moines General Hospital and atrip to find a coach of one of ourathletic teams. Unfortunatelythe public school system had notopened since the holidays andthis proved futile. Two consul-tation engagements were filledand then at six p. m. Dr. Wilsonmet with the Polk County Osteo-pathic Association.

Forty-three were present atthis meeting, including two visi-tors from out of town. Dr. RayGilmor made the trip from SiouxCity and ably introduced thespeaker, Dr. Wilson. F. A. Gor-don drove through from Mar-shalltown and deserves a medalfor the feat, for the wet snowwhich was falling made drivingeven in town dangerous.

In each of his talks in DesMoines Dr. Wilson left no doubtin the minds of his listeners ofhis stand on Osteopathy. Ireach case he cited patients whchad been under his care and inmany instances under the previ-ous care of medical physicians.He brought out in a very forc-ible manner the need for closeradherence to Osteopathic prin-ciples and offered the results ob-

tained as sufficient proof of thisneed. The undergraduates in;he college and the visitors at theevening meeting had no difficultyin understanding his meaning.It was indeed a pleasure and aprivilege to have Dr. Wilson withus, not only as the presiding off-icer of our national associationbut as the man we know him tobe.

The staff trailed him to theRock Island and supervised thebusiness of getting him tuckedin for the night ride to Chicago.We will welcome him back inMay when he meets with us atthe state convention.
