osTEoPATHs ARE ADMITTED.
Attorney General MuIian Holds the
New Law Went Into Effect July 4.

Des Monies, Aug S.-The state
board of meaical examiners admitted
to practice yesterday 27S osteopaths.
Certificates were granted to all appli.
cants under the new law of the TWEEN.
ty-ninth general assembly. This Law
permits the registration of all osteo

citation, and in practice before July 4,
the date the measure went into effect
lwo legal points were involved in
dealing with the osteopaths and ON
these the board of medical examiners

whether the words, passage of this

when the new law went into effect
AS persons in practice before the pas.
sage of the act were entItled to certi

ter was important for the osteopaths
Attorney General Mullan neld it meant
July 4. Consequently the graduates
Of this year at Still college and other
institutions were entitled to certi.
ficates without examination.
The other question was whether the
board of examiners had the right te
disregard the recognition of the Iowa
Osteopathic ASSOCIATION and determine
whether a school of osteopathy was
living up to the requirements of the
statute as to course of study. Attor
ney General Mullan held that whether
school complied with the provisions
of the statute in maintaining the
course of study demanded by the Law
was to be determined by the board oi
medical examiners and, IL a school
did not, the fact it was recognized by
the Iowa Osteopathic association did
not make it a school tie graduates q

POTATO CROP LARGE.
Freight Agent Brooks Says the Yield
This Year Will be Extraordinary.

Des Moines, Aug. 11.-General
Freight Agent S. o. Brooks of the
Chicago Great Western says that Iowa
and Minnesota will week after next
begin harvesting the largest potato
crop grown in years. Minnesota shows
an increase in acreage of Is per cent,
he says, and while last year that state
shipped 5000 cars of tubers, the ship
ments this year will probably aggre-
gate 10000 cars. He says:
THE Minnesota crop is almost en-
tirely shipping crop, and while Iowa
raises more potatoes than her neigh
Dor on the north, the Hawkeye state
ships almost nothing. and Minnesota
is given a clear field in the potato
business. Minnesota potatoes will be
shipped this year to Texas, Oklaho-
ma. Kansas, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Ohio and other sections south and
southeast, Colorado being Minnesota's
only active competitor" 1t seems
strange that Iowa does not do more
in the way of raising potatoes for the
general market.
