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.

The Lyric.
Those who attend the Lyric this

see the famous box mystery as per
formed by the two Hoyts. This is one
of the best feats of magic ever shown
in a moving picture theater in this
city. The pictures are bright , and
fresh. There are several numbers
which are sure, to please. A trial visit
at the Lyric will surely make a regu
lar patron of the house.-

1. Hutchinson and N. Skoonover;
recorder, W. D. Hanks; treasurer, C.

BUILD IN THE SPRING.
Manager Davidson Optimistic Over
Quick Completion of Cove Road.
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. W. Davidson, di
rector and general constructing man
ager of the road, who Is in La Grande

. (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
