MEDICAL MEETING
Iowa and Illinois Central District As
ISOLATION in Interesting Session
ut Rock Island Club.

The 50th annual spring meeting OF
the Iowa and Illinois District Medi-
cal association was held last night at
the Rock Island club A dinner was
served at $50, at which time the
members met Dr. E. H. Post, Chicago
the speaker of the evening. Mr.. Post
substituted for DR.. Frank Billings, who
was unable to attend.
The program was given at s o'clock,
DR.. Post reading a paper on General
Infections From Focal Diseases" il
Illustrated with lantern slides. Two
local cases were also used to illus
trate the lecture. For the benefit OF
the laymen DR.. Post stated that focal
diseases were generally assesses in
the roots Of teeth or in the tonsils and
that a great many ills throughout the
body originated from this source. At
times, he explained, these assesses
were so small as to cause the patient
no trouble at all, making it difficult
to trace the source of the infection.
The X-ray is used to a great extent
in this work.
Plans for a semi-centennial celebra-
ton were also discussed by the men,
bers. The association is so years old
and a fitting celebration is to be held
in June. A committee Of five will be
named to arrange the details Sew
eral minor changes in the constitution
OF the society were adopted.

Regarding Popular
Dances This Year

The statement IS authoritatively
made that the oId-fashioned dreamy
waltz will supplant the -acrobatic tango
in the bathrooms Of the nation If the
National Association of Dancing Mas
ters has any influence. In convention
at Chicago the dancing professors de-
creed that the tango must go. The
waltz, the one-step and the fox trot
will be the fashionable favorites this
season.
The New York Sun comments on the
dancing outlook as follows:
"One hundred and fifty dancing
teachers at the opening session of the
convention of the International Asso-
citation of Masters of Dancing in the
Hotel Martinique launched a vigorous
boom for safer and saner dancing,
simpler steps and less mental effort in
learning, while at the same time max
ing no move to decry the dance as now
praCticed.
Reports from all sections of the
country as far west as California indi-
Gated that dancing is by no means on
the wane. Individual dancing teachers
reported good business in their differ
ent sections. 1t was almost unanimous
ly voted that the One-Step, the fox trOt
and the waltz are still the most popu-
lar dances in existence. That the mod
ern dance steps, however, have less of
the vulgar about them, than at any
other previous periods seemed to be the
consensus.
but in order that the dance craze
shall not have chance to wane in pop-
ularity the dancing masters saw to it
that number of new steps should be
invented, just to be sure to keep alive
the interest in that favorite indoor
sport
"One of these steps is called the
scissors three-step', the creation of
Miss Cecilia Fleischer, of Pittston, Pa.
Another, called the j. K three-step, is
named after ]. Killgallen. Charles A.
McCrea, of Philadelphia, was RESPONSE
BILE for the introduction Of one called
the 'Redomac' three-step. P. H. Kelly,
who had charge of the demonstrations,
introduced on his own account some
So did Charles Bruneel, of PlattsbuTg.
Most of these steps were rehearsed
in one of the small bathrooms of the
hotel. All that was vouchsafed as to
their nature was that they were in
to learn without exerting ones gray
matter too much and very undoubtedly
would become popular when disclosed
to a waiting public. Printed descrip-
tions Of the new steps will be distrib-
uted to members of the association as
soon as they have been adopted by the
convention.
"While p. H. Kelly was leading the
delegates through the mazes of the new
steps. Miss Hilda Hanker, of San Diego,
Cal, was giving demonstration Of
arm movements in dancing which in
way to hold ones partner.
"At business session 1t was decided
to lend further encouragement to
cleaner dancing and to put ban on
bunny hugging' and such forms Of
suggestive dancing. 1t was indignant
made to eliminate fox trotting and
one-Stepping."
