OSTEOPATHS IN SESSION
IMPORTANCE OF CLEAX TEETH
EMPHASIZED.
Dr. Hubert 1eonard Advocates Sur
gical Intervention to Improve
Condition of Pelvis.
With a tribute to Dr. A. T. Still,
founder of osteopathy. Dr. W. W.
Howard of Medford, president of the
Oregon Osteopathic association, opened
the annual convention in the assembly
hall, 325 Morgan building, yesterday
afternoon. About 30 members of th
association were in attendance, at th
meeting, which will close this evening,
and much Interest was taken in the
papers presented yesterday.
Dr. Charles Petheram of Portland
gave a paper on "The Relation of Local
Infections to 'Systematic Disease," and
the discussion was led by Dr. Mar)
Howells of Albany. This brought out
the fact that the osteopathic profession
is making an effort to teach people
the importance of keeping their teeth
in perfect condition, and in such cases
as found necessary, to have tonsils re
moved, rather than allow the body to
continue to absorb poisons, even from
a small diseased area.
"Common Surgical Conditions of the
Pelvis'" was the subject of an address
by Dr. Hubert Leonard, who emphasized
that there are many abnormal condi
tions of the pelvis which can be re
lieved only by pnrriral intervention
and that certain nervous conditions alsc
can be relieved only by that method.
Today's session will b opened at
9:30 o'clock this morning with a paper
by Dr. Ralph Walton of Salem, on "Ob
servations of Military Hospitals," with
discussion led by Dr. Orville Waller of
Eugene. "Infant Feeding" will be the
subject of a paper by Dr. Ruth Eaton
of Oregon City, with discussion led by
Dr. C. L. Whitney of Portland. "The
Seauollae of Influensa" will- be dis
cussed by Dr. John Talbot of Portland.
followed by open discussion.
Luncheon will be served in the Port
land hotel at noon, to be followed by
the business meeting at which officers
will be chosen.
The afternoon programme will be
opened with a paper by E. R. Lyda of
The Dalles, on "Osteopathic Technique":
and other numbers are: "Methods of
Conserving Operator's Strength." Dr.
Rhoda Hleks of Astoria: open discus
sion; "Treating on the McManus Table."
Dr. John Simons. Eugene; discussion
led by Dr. D. D. Toung, Portland.

We call attention lo excerpts from summary of a letter from Mr. Edward Morris,
president of Morris and Company; :
These bonds are secured by a first mortgage on all the company's properties, lease
holds, rights, etc, and constitute its only funded obligations outstanding in the hands of
the public Under the terms of the mortgage deed of trust, the company covenants, among
other things, that:
It will not, so long; as any of the bonds of this issue are outstanding, make
or place or allow to exist, any mortgage lien other than the lien of this
mortgage npon any of the land, buildings, machinery, fixtures, rolling stock
or car equipment now owned by it, or upon any packing houses hereafter
constructed or acquired by the company, or upon the machinery, fixtures, or
apparatus of such packing houses.
It will at all times maintain net current assets in an amount equal to at
least the aggregate amount of bonds then outstanding.
It will pay into a sinking fund annually on July 1, in cash or bonds
of the company, an amount equal to, and not less than 1.6 per cent of
the aggregate amount of bonds certified to by the trustee, including cancelled
bonds, and m no year shall the' amount be less than $200,000; cash in tha
sinking fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of bonds at not
over 103 and interest, and bonds so acquired to be cancelled.
The proceeds of this issue will be used, at the rate of 75 per cent of cost, to
replace in current account part of the earnings placed from time to time in fixed assets
for the increasing of plant capacity.
The business of the company has been conducted for more than sixty years. It
is today the third largest packing business in the world.
The net current assets as at November 2. 1918, not including the proceeds of
