The distance from Eugene to Granger City, Wyo., by way of the Central Pacific after the completion of these lines will be 4!0 miles shorter than . by tho Southern Pacific route through Roseville near Sacramento.

E 10 TEST IGAL Give Public Real and Unbiased Report Oppose Cultists Who Cure By Medical Gym nastics Must Be Able to Recognize Disease. . : CHICAGO, June 21. A commis sion of unbiased scientific investiga tors to make a critical study of all systems of medicine and methods supposed to cure people to analyze the claims of each, then give the public the truth about the art of healing was proposed today by Dr. David A. Strickler of Denver, president of the federation of state medical boards in the United Stales, before the 7Sth an nual convention of the American in stitute of homeopathy. .. Dr. Sti'lckler pointed out difficul ties of establishing high educational standards of persons who are licensed to practice medicine or the various healing arts. - "The cause of this difficulty of es tablishing a high educational stand ard is mainly duo to the opposition by cultists, who without basic training in science or adequate knowledge of the structure, functions and disease ot the hitman body, yet contend for the right to practice a system of heal ing which they have conceived or learned in a short time, oven by some system of medical gymnastics known only to tho teachers of that particular cult," he said. Many of our legislators are them selves without education or know ledge of any ot the sciences, hence, have no comprehension of the need of basic knowledge in the study of anatomy, physiology and pathology XXo one is safe in the. interest of public health who cannot recognize j tne more common contagious and I communicable diseases. rnereiore, the least that the state should re quire of the applicant to practice the healing art Is to show a knowledge of disease which Is deemed necessary to recognize it in its common forms..
