Officials Of the state board Of health
are anxiously awaiting the applications
of the "chiropractic" and "neuropath
healers of Burlington for examination
as doctors or as osteopaths, with ami
davit of their having passed thru COM
petent medical schools. The board has
carried on quite a correspondence with
lawyers who are trying to stave off
prosecution, but nothing definite has
come Of it. The claim is now made that
the irregular doctors are entitled TO the
protection Of the Iowa law because the
state board has refused TO permit them
to take the examination. But applica-
tons were sent them and If they can
qualify they will be examined in due
time as to what they know about
anatomy and such things.
When the secretary Of state finished
sending out all the automobile numbers
for the cars on which taxes have been
paid the total Of numbers was not
quite $4,000. 1t is expected that prob
ably 1000 more Will be issued before
the close Of the year. The record Is
evidence that a great many of the cars
are going out of commission and are
abandoned.
Secretary Sumner of the state board
OF health and Dr.. B. l.. Eiker, presi-
dent of the state board, paid a visit
yesterday Sunday, to the state prison
at Fort Madison, this being a second
trip to that institution On the former
trip OF inspection they We're given a
card OF general admission and told to
go thru and see everything and to go
alone, which they did. They talked
freely with conV;cts and Went into the
cells and every place and saw just
how the whole prison was conducted
They made It n point to ask the in
mates as to their views Of the prison
management and to gather from them
vast amount Of information. They
were asked to express themselves free
ly on any and every subject and did
So 1t is not intended that the In
spection shall in any way take the
place of the one Instituted by Attorney
General Cosson, assisted by Judge Rob-
erts and Mayor Sheldon: but it will be
a valuable aid to the same when made.
Much of the complaint at the outse.
was against the sanitary conditions at
the prison.
At last the work of the Iowa con-
servation commission is bearing fruit
in the organization Of $4,000 900
company to take advantage of the in
formation acquired by the Investigate
ors. 1t was believed al the very outset
when the Legislature was being urged
to appoint such a commission that the
originators Of the project had it in
mind to develop the water power Of the
state and this now proves to be true
Dams will be constructed along the
river and water power be developed for
the use Of the cities.
