Des lMoines, March "a slight mis-
understanding has been given as to
what is proposed by the state board
of health in regard to the distribution
of anti-toxin serum in the state. The
first suggestion, and this came from a
member of the board, was that they
would do as they do in Illinois and fur
nish anti-toxin free. There was much
protest on the part of druggists and
this plan was abandoned.
what the board will undertake to
do said Secretary Sumner, is to sup
ply anti-toxin for 'diphtheria ito all the
people of the state at cost just as 1t
can be secured by county boards and
hospitals from the manufacturers. II
you go ITO a drug store and buy say
5000 units, which is an ordinary dose,
it will cost you $3.50, and a second dose
will be necessary If it is to do good.
That makes SIS for a single case. Now
it is well within the knowledge of
everyone that great many poor peo-
pie would feel keenly the effort to pay
out Sis for medicine in a single case.
There is a way to get 1T from some OF
the county boards thru a contract they
may have, at 50 for each dose-but this
is not always possible. So we would
like it if we were in the same fix as in
Illinois where the legislature makes an
appropriation and anti-toxin is free to
all patients; but we have undertaken
to make a contract by which we can
get it at the wholesale price of So per
each 5000 units, and will distribute it
at cost thru sub-stations in every
county seat"
The state labor organizations have
become interested in the movement to
checkmate the white plague and will
join the state of Iowa in the effort to
arouse deep interest in how to prevent
and combat tuberculosis. "A series of
meetings is being arranged by the fed
Grafton of labor in each of THE labor
certers of the state to be addressed by
DR.. Kepford, the state lecturer, and by
others. The movement may take a lit
tie broader scope in the labor unions

discussion of sanitary and healthful
conditions in factories and homes and
to encourage better homes.
Which one of the Judges of the SUI
preme court is slated to resign? Who
is going up higher or to retire to en-
gage in other business? The two judges
whose terms Of office expire with this
va will hnfh ho candidates for
nomination before the republican state
convention. These are Evans and
Deemer, the one having longest served
and the other served shortest time But
as matter of fact a movement is al
ready we'll under way and political in
fiuences are being lined UP for the pur-
pose of having appointed certain
popular judge of the district court liv-
ing not very many miles from the cap
ital of the state, a man of experience
and high qualification, and it is being
done with an understandings
there is foundation for 1t or not is an
other question-that one of the SUI
preme judges will voluntarily retire
before the end of this year and leave
the governor to appoint. There may
be nothing more in this than desire
on the part of admiring friends to COM
pliment a good man, but it is causing
some surprise.
It is now an open secret that two
years hence Judge Roberts, of Ottum-
wa, and Judge Bollinger, of Daven-
port intend to be candidates for judge
of the supreme court.
J. w. Rowley, editor of the Keosau-
qua Republican, one of the staunch
standpatters of the state, has received
a letter from Senator Cummins which
shows the eminent fairness of the jun
Tor senator which has been such a con-
scipuous feature Of his whole public
career. Rowley was named as census
supervisor. Some one sent Cummins
clipping from a newspaper purportlng
to have emanated from Rowley in
which the latter was supposed to have
stated that Cummins and Dolliver were
not republicans. Whereupon Senator
Cummins said if it proved to be true
he would try to prevent the confirma-
ton Of Rowley. But he also said he
would investigate, which he did, and
finding the whole thing fake he wrote
Rowley that he would gladly aid his
confirmation.
Clifford Thorne will be the only per-
son in any way connected with the re-
sent litigation over Iowa, stock rates
who will be put forward as a candidate
for railroad commission, and his candi-
dacy is being urged because of his
great familiarity with the rate cues
ton. There has been talk of others
with the Corn Belt Meat
Producers Association. but none OF
them will be candidate It is doubt
full if there will be any additions to
the list as at present made up-Thorne,
Wilson, Stern, Ferguson. Palmer.
Senator A. b. Funk for chairman Of
the republican state convention is
which has been made here.
Another suggestion is that Of Judge
E. E. Nichols, of Dallas county, bril-
liant orator and a man OF excellent
