this nature. t 'ssSsstton Of the defn-
ition Of the praee>p = ~ come promi-
nently up for attentr> t Sere is the
definition included in the> cathic
bill Of that practice:
THE term naturapathy as emp
ed in this act, means any form On
treatment, adjustment or any means
whatever, intended for the relief or
cure Of human beings. who are sick
or injured, or who are suffering from
any mental or physical weakness or
disease, by any means other than
drugs, medicine or surgery. A person
shall be regarded as practicing natu-
rapathy within the meaning Of this
act who shall engage In or publicly
hold himself or herself out as en-
gagged in the treatment or adjustment
without drugs, medicines or surgery,
Of human beings suffering from any
form of mental or physical injury,
sickness or disease, receiving therefor
or intending to receive therefor, any
fee or compensation whatsoever.
Nothing in this act, however, shall be
construed to affect duly qualified
naturapaths from other states or
countries from collaborating with
naturapaths in this state; or duly
qualified osteopaths practicing under
chapter 172 Of the laws of 1909; or
Christian Science or other. religious
ministrations or treatment, when the
persons employing or making use Of
such do not employ physical means;
nor shall 1t be construed to affect
domestic ministration or acts of mer-
cy. Any person practicing natura-
pathy shall be exempt from the PEN
alties prescribed in this act until aft
er the first meeting of the board Of
examiners has adjourned"
Where Objections Come
The bill also sets forth the subjects
on which the examinations shall be
given, these being on diagnosis,
anatomy. physiology. pathology, psy-
chology and hygiene. He shall also
be- examined IN subjects pertaining to
the school or method Of treatment or
adjustment designated as the one he
or she desires to practice.
The movement placing this bill be-
fore the legislature Is traceable back
to the medical measure, and natura-
paths not being entirely satisfied with
that measure and seeking to have a
board of their own because of such
dissatisfaction.
Objection to the bill will very like
" be made on the ground that It
fails to require any preliminary edu-
cation for those who wish to practice
naturapathy, while the range Of sub
jects covered in the proposed examin-
alton is too limited and not in ac-
cordance with the examinations that
must be passed by the medical prac-
tftioners or the doctors Of osteopathy
as provided in their board of control
bills.
Two Fights Disposed Of
In the disposition Of the Garden
drug permit bill in the senate yes
terday afternoon another fight that
has been causing no little trouble, is
done away with. The drug permit
problem, as proposed for settlement
In the Garden measure, has been be-
fore two legislative assemblies, the
measure killed yesterday being iden-
ttcal with that of Senator Macarthur
over which there was big scrap two
years ago.
Az a result of yesterdays action
the drug permits during the coming
two years will remain under the juri-
diction Of the supreme court, which
is the same as It has been during the
last two years. 1t is contended by
nany that they wish to see how the
McCrea law. as the present drug per-
NIT measure Is known, works out and
they believe that insufficient time has
been given in which to demonstrate
its good qualities.
The killing Of H. B. No. 46, the
Dean anti-discrimination bill, is an
other act that removes trouble for
the upper house as that bill has been
the subject Of no little discussion
since Its passage by the house recent
~.
Babc0ck Before Committee
Thorough explanation of the work
that is being done at the Hebron ex-
perimental station was given to the
appropriations COMMITTEES of the two
houses at q joint meeting held this
week by Dean e. f. Babcock of the
school Of mines. The discussion by
the dean Of the work has resulted
in very favorable comment among the
members Of the two committees and
there is very favorable feeling to-
ward the appropriation that has been
asked for to carry on, the work.
In reporting out bill providing
for an annual appropriation Of $10.-
900 for the public health laboratory
at the state university, the senate
appropriations committee is follow
Ing the recommendations that have
been repeatedly made during the last
two years on that subject. This is
an increase Of $4,000 annually for the
important work in question
Apportionment Fight Confusing
With the action of the senate ap-
portionment committee in bringing all
congressional division bills into the
senate with recommendation that
they go into the committee of the
whole, the outcome of that fight is
