Des Moines, Aug. 15.-The state au-
thorities are getting ready to again de-
fend the code of Iowa from the attacks
Of those who want to open the doors
for the napra pthaers and the chiro
| practors, ETC., whatever that may mean,
| because Secretary Sumner, of the
state board OF health. has been noti-
| fed that they are going to upset
things generally.
| Four or five years ago Dr. Kennedy,
! then secretary Of the state board of
| health and medical examiners. receiv-
ed complaint from Burlington Of the
| irregular practice of the art of healing
| by one H. Walter Harmer. whose dis
| play advertisement was enclosed. The
i matter was filed and it appears no &C
! ton taken. Nothing further was heard
of it until this month. when Secretary
Sumner received from Ex-senator
| Harper. Of Burlington. a request that
| he send to DR.. Harmer application
| blanks and fix a time for a special ex-
| animation for admission as doctor.
Then started a correspondence which
| probably will lead to court.
| Secretary Sumner referring to the
law which provides that before an ap-
plicant sholl be admitted to examine
tion he shall file his diploma for ex-
animation, asking for the same The
attorney came back with statement
that this is not necessary and de-
manded the blanks. Yesterday DR..
Sumner forwarded the application
blanks. One is for osteopaths and the
other for medical practitioners. If
either one is filled out 1t will include
| Il Ill TO I,,a$ a
medical or osteopath college.
! DR.. Harmer's attorney states that
Harmer graduated from what was
known az the American School Of
Chiropractic, now known as College
of Naprapthy. Senator Harper desires
TO appear before the board and show
that this college is entitled to recogni-
tion for giving the necessary instruc-
ton in the art Of healing. He will
probably be given opportunity to
make the showing.
| A bill was introduced in the legisla-
ture and strongly urged some years
ago to give special recognition to
"chiropractic" methods Of healing. but
the legislature turned it down.
| Prof Fred Maha nnah is in SOUTH
eastern Iowa and while there will in
|vestigate the old Denmark Academy in
Lee county, which has made applica.
ton to be recognized AS one Of the
state high school normals. Some time
ago Denmark Academy abandoned Its
Independent character and was turned
over to the township to be operated as
a township high school. AS a private
institution it could not be given any
state aid for this normal work but II 1t

school 1t may be named as a normal
school Only a few more are to be
named this year as the funds available
are limited. For one thing the effort
/! has been made to place these normal
schools not too near to colleges and
private schools that are capable OF
giving normal instruction.
Judge E. NJ. Carr, Of Manchester.
| whose standing among the democrats
| of the state is high. was in the city
yesterday. When asked if he was still
| shouting for Woodrow Wilson for
president he said:
Eyes, indeed: he's the coming man
for the place and sure winner if he
is nominated. He is a man in line with
the sentiments Of a majority Of the
democrats Of Iowa."
Judge Carr stated he had Just re-
ceived letter from Cato Sells who is
starting movement in Texas for Gov
ernor Wilson and has stirred up things
| beautifully.
| 1t is entirely probable that an inde-
pendent and volunteer movement in
favor Of delegation that can at least
vote for Wilson if occasion arises will
be started among Iowa democrats.
| There are great many Of them who
do not relish the idea Of confining the
choice to Clark or Harmon and who
! believe that Wilson is the man who
| would get most votes.
