ANTI. TOXIN FOR ALL
Health Department Arranges to Sup
ply Persons of Small Means
at Reduced Prices. -a:'.

The losses of the lie Brun family. in
which four chilren recently died Of diph
iberia, has impressed upon the health de-
partment the necessity Of providing anti
toxin at greatly reduced cost for the ben
eft Of families in ordinary circumstances.
The very poor have been supplied
through the city physician and the city
hospital, but there is a class of persons
not considered poor upon whom the eX-
pense of purchasing anti-toxin has been
a heavy burden. ----
The health department has now ar
ranged to supply anti-toxin at All excep-
tiona]Iy low price to this class of patients,
through the physician in charge. In re-
turn for this concession. the members of
the family, through their physician. must
agree to use the anti-toxin, not only upon
the sick but to immunize themselves as
well.
The drug will be supplied i'll all
strengths from 500 to 1000 units. each
package containing sterilized needle and
syringe ready for use. 1t is believed that
| the resulting greater general use of anti
| toxin will materially reduce both the NOR
! tality and prevalence Of diphtheria. ~.

.CORSETS In. The Gym.
Miss Butner Says They're Worn
Only in Violation of
s,tI Strict Rules.
University Girls Not Given to Wear
ing Injurious Stays With
Any Costume.

Miss Anna Butncr, director of the phys
ical culture department of the university,
was asked to-day about Professor Maria
l.. Sanford's statement of the extent to
which the girls of the physical culture
classes wore corsets during their drills
and exercises.
That is one Of the greatest difficulties
we have to contend with said Miss But
ner. although it is an infieSible rule that
no one shall come into the classes except
in regulation gymnasium suits, -heelless,
low. roomy shoes and without corsets.
However, 1t is one thing to lay down. a
rule and quite another to enforce it strict
ly in classes Of seyenty-f1ve coming for
only about half an hours work at time
1t is quite impossible for my assistant
Miss Barbour, or myself to make a per-
sonal inspection Of over 300 girls daily.
We give great prominence to the rule and
to the reason for it and see that the girls
live up to it as far as we are able.
LAS YOU observed in the class just
now the prescribed costume is a full
blouse with sailor collar. giving the neck
complete freedom, and full boomers gath
cred at the knee. The blouse is so loose
and full tina no ordinary inspection would
enable the director to tell whether the
girls had removed their stays or not The
same is true in many of the exercises, for
In many of the arm and the ma rching eE-
erclses corsets as commonly worn would
not impede movement sufficiently to be
noticeable to any one watching large
class The one Kind of work in which the
breaking of this rule is revealed plainly is
in the bending movements. :.-....t.
Il nave no doubt that in spite of our
vigilance. considerable number of girls
do attend the classes in corsets: I don't
suppose that many of the girls make a
regular practice Of doing so, but if they
are hurried or a little lazy and think we
are not going to have any work in which I
| can find them out, they take advantage of
that fact to slide into their gymnasium
costumes without removing their stays
When we find a girl with a corset on, she
is at once sent from the class and such
occurrences are frequent, but, as not all
OF the girls take the work voluntarily,
there must be a considerable proportion
that readily shirks bother
we Go not stop with regulating the
oress IN the gym classes; We try to in
fiuence the dressing Of the girls for all
occasions. and especially for school. The
hrst three weeks of work in the gym
naslum is given wholly to lectures on
personal hygiene, III Which dressing has
an important part. l think on the whole
| that the students dress comfortably and
sensbly. Some of them wear no corsets
at all and a much larger mum Der wear
soft loose corset waists instead of stiff
stays Indeed, ] know of only one uni
Versity girl who wears stays Of a kind
and III a manner that think are posi-
lively Injurious But the question of the
degree of injury possible through cor
sets is never considered in the gynlna
Fslum, for there they are strictly for

Austin. Mimi, Feb. 14:---Austin is cham
pion Of the first, congressional district in
the high school debate and is ready to
meet the winners in other districts Large
delegations from Spring Valley, Blooming
Prairie and other towns were here last
evening for the final contest between Aus
tin and Spring Valley. Austin had al
ready beaten Owatonna and Spring VAL
ley had won from Blooming Prairie and
Stewartville. T.. --r--.-.. =
The debate last night was on the ques-
ton: Resolved, that United States SEN
ators should be chosen by direct vote of
the people, Spring Valley had the af-
firnative and Austin the negative. Spring
Valleys team was composed Of Carroll
Kitchener. Sever Ness and Lyle IIanlin
Birkett and Roy Adams.
Austin made decidedly the best show
ing in the main arguments, while Spring
Valley was the stronger in rebuttal.
The judges We're President c. H. Coo

B. Mclean Of Dodge Center. ...-.. .
! The principal arguments of the affirn1a-
tive dwelt on the changing conditions anc
demands for a popular expression on al
public questions. The negative emplla
sized the conservative character of the
senate as a balance wheel and check OF
llasty legislation. The decision of tn,
judges was in favor of Austin and tn,
negative.
! This was accounted a great victory. a.
the, affirmative has usually won in othe
contests over the state.
