Des Moines. June 19.-According to
the state board of health, death and
destruction Turk in the favorite summer
indulgent, ice cream. This coming al
most on the eve of Fourth of July may
cause some commotion in ice cream
parlors. According to the Iowa Health
Bulletin, a monthly publication by the
state board of health, ice cream Is q
dangerous thing. The Bulletin states
that cream is excellent for food and
ice is good for refrigeration, but thai
the stomach is not a refrigerator, and
that the combination called ice cream
is not a good thing to put into the
ach are not to be preserved. There
fore" says the Bulletin, under normal
conditions, ice and iced foods should
NOT be eaten. However, If some peo-
pie are still living to eat and will
persist in using this luxury, to such
ones we would give the following sug-
gestion: Ice cream mixtures (sugar
cream and f1avors) should be- boiled
before being frozen. The boiling ster-
lilies the mixture, and thus reduces
the chances of fermentation, and con-
sequent poisoning, to a minimum"
The attempt to do away with the
college of Homeopathic medicine at
the State University of Iowa will be
renewed by the regular doctors at the
next, session OF the legislature and
the graduates of the last year will be
pointed to as an argument to that
end. There were just four graduates
from the homeopathic college and
there were tifty-tWo graduates in the
college of medicine better designated
as the aleopathic college. The propo-
2sition was presented in bill at the
last session of the legislature. The
bill went down to defeat. 1t pro-
posed to abolish both medical colleges
and establish the college Of medicine
with chairs Of homeopathy and the
regular school,
The argument is that the state is
maintaining two big colleges Of med
icirle $at.s4owa City at double expense
where one college at single expense
would do just as we'll. The double
expense. it is claimed would not he
so noticeable if there were more grad
yates from the homeopathic depart
ment. This Year there were just four

doctrines is favored by the regular
school. Surgery is the same, 1t is ar

difference is in the giving Of medicine
and in reasoning from the symptoms
as to the disease of complaint of the
patient. Separate professors, 1t is

differences of opinion are arguing that
these opinions can be taught with
greater economy to the state. While the
regular school of physicians sanction
the change the homeOpaths see in it a
scheme to wipe them off the map and
they object.
If the next legislature should make
the change 1t would give a big fine
building for other purposes.
Lawyers are watching for the argu-
ments to be filed in the case of the
state against F. NJ. Hubbell Sons Com
pany, appealed from the district court
of Polk county. A considerable part
of the revenue on which the Hubbell
millions are based is derived annually
from the rental of dwelling houses on
Cherry street in this city to women
for immoral purposes. This has gone
on for years till some time ago extra
lucretive high rents were cut off by
a grand jury that got busy and indicted
the owners Of the houses. The houses
were owned by F. M. Hubbell origin
ally. Since the Hubbell fortune came
to be counted by the millions Mr.. Hub
bell Incorporated aud made all his
children stockholders in the corpora
ton. The entire estate was tied up in
a sort Of entailing arrangement similar
to the law in the old countries.
When the grand jury indicted the
F. NJ. Hubbell Sons Company the at
torneys for the corporation pleaded
and argued that corporation could
not be indicted under criminal stat
ute Of that kind. The argument was
quite fine but led in the end to the
conclusion that tho the houses were
rented for the illegal purpose the COM
pany could not be punished by law.
The district court decided for the state
and the F. M. Hubbell Sons Company
has appealed. The cases were to have
come up at the last term Of the SUI
prene court but We're continued over
till the September term. Lawyers are
waiting with some interest to see the
line Of argument that will be made to
the supreme court and the question at
issue is one Of considerable interest
