H- PEAREs LtADING AND PIONEFR JEWELER disease 'AM:i WHAT'S IX A NAME? While time-honored names of dis ease are taught in our colleges, yet the practitioner as he gnlns in experi ence. Is very apt to adopt a nomencla ture depending upon the findings of a physical examination. When a putlent comes In with a pain In the lumbar re gion and down the leg, the result of a sarco-lllac lesion, we sum it up very succinctly, "slipped Innominate," and not rheumatism, as would be the usu al diagnosis. A rib is turned, and the patient Is told that fact, and not that he has in terposal neuralgia. Another comes with a pain In the head and Is Inform ed that he has a third cervical or oc-clpito-atlold lesion Instead of facjal neuralgia. This means something to him. and he usually appreciates It, as his former physician, for the very good reason that he did not know, has not Informed him of the cause of his dis trens, but talked vagucsly of uric acid and the weather. And it is right for us to so take our patients into our confidence after all the centuries of mystery which has surrounded the practice of medicine. It emphasides the physical condition; also the absurdity of treating with drugs. However, the osteopath does not let it cause him to fall to make a diagnosis by name whenever possible.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE (Continued from pago 7.) they would have gained if they had stayed In the Atlantlo waters. The American people have cause for pro found' gratification, both in view of the excellent condition of the fleet as shown by this cruise, and In view of the Improvement the cruise has work ed in this already high condition. I do not believe that there Is any other service in the world in which the av ersg? of chai sever hnl tfflctancy In tht enlisted men Is as high as Is now the case 'in our own. I believe that the same statement can be made ar to our officers, taken as a whole; but there must be a reservation made In regard to those In the highest ranks as to which I have already spoken and In regard to those who have Just entered the service; because we do not now get full benefit from our excellent naval school at' Annapolis. It is absurd not to graduate the mid shipmen as ensigns; to keep them for two years in such an anomalous posi tion as at present the law requires If detrimental to them and to the serv ice. In the academy tlself, every first classman should be required in turn to serve as petty officer and officer; his ability to discharge his duties as such should be a prerequisite to his going into the line, and his success In commanding should largely determine his standing at graduation. The board of visitors should be appointed in January, and each member should be required to give at least six days serv ice, only from one to three days to be performed during June week. which is the least desirable time for the board to be at Annapolis so far us benefiting the navy by their ob servations Is concerned.

That the Central Railroad of Ore gon, now operating between Union and Cove, will build to La Grande next summer and in the near future complete the entire proposed network of railroads in the Grande Ronde val "ey, slightly modified, Is the optimls ilc view held by T.

(instruction work will begin as soon as the road gets out of receivership, which will be early next spring.' While the company Is planning on doing this .vork, it can take no definite action with a receiver In charge of affairs.
