The folly Of taking medicine into

Breathing Hyomei thru the inhaler,

ORPHEUS' TRIP GIVEN UP
Club viii Remain Here to Entertain the

Luna SLuQSHIS.
Orpheus club has voted to reconsider
its former decision to go to st. Louis to
take part in the celebrations Of June "a.
sthe official Swedish day at the worlds
fair. The famous male chorus Of the
university Of Lund will be in Minneapo-
shs June 80 and in order properly to ar
range the big concert in which the stu
sdent singers are to appear. the Orpheus
5club will have to start work without
delay An absence from the city for
week Of more shortly before the concert
would be an impossibility for the local
singing club. Thus the Orpheus was
forced to give up the st. Louis trip. but
2did so gladly in exchange for the privilege
of being hosts for sixty postgraduate
student singers.
aS An executive committee on arrange
ments was appointed consisting of DR..
Victor Nilsson, August Ekman, Robert
fHolmen, John Bjorknan and Norman
sThone. It was decided to place proper
funds at the disposal Of the committee.
The Lund University chorus will not
carry a cent of United States money out
of the country. The proceeds Of the con-
cert tour, above the expense Of the trip
will be contributed to the fund for the
establishment Of memorial chair in
some exact science at the Augustana Lu-
Etheran college in Rock Island, Ill. The
student chorus has a reserve fund Of
some $4,000 but will demand that a
guaranty fund of at least $4,000 be raised
in this country. To this fund G. A. Smith
sof this city has literally contributed
$4,000. Other considerable contributions
ARE expected from Minneapolis citizens.
especially from the resident graduates of
the University Of Lund and from friends
