| Missouri Less Scholarly? - The
Kansas state board of medical regis
tration in session at Topeka adopted
resolutions severing all further re-
ciprocal relations with the registra-
ton board of the state Of Missouri. A
Missouri doctor must get Kansas
certificate before he can practice in
this state. DR.. G. +. Johnson, chair
man of the Kansas board, says that
the standard of scholarship generally
is not so high in Missouri as required
in Kansas, and assigns that as the
reason for the separation.

substitute corporation" 1t gave its
earnings in Kansas for the year as
$23,243, with gross operating eX-
penses $29G,343.
No More misleading Labels. -

Val Blatz Brewing Company repre-
sentatives had a conference with
Secretary Cfumbine, of the state
board of health and agreed to obey
the Kansas pure food laws explicitly
regarding the labelling Of liquors.
Beer will be branded as beer" malt
must be so labeled and its exact alco-
hoic contents noted. No more liquor
will be sold in Kansas under the
name of chop tea or kindred titles.
The Helm companies agreed similar
ly with DIR. Crumbine, which means
that the pure food law in Kansas re-
gardng liquors will be obeyed with

smaller packages exactly like the
