Commercial Department, Junior
High Athletics Also to
be Discontinued

S. w. Limburg, music instructor In
Redwood Falls schools and leader OF
the city band for four years, will not
be member of the faculty or lead
er of the city band after August l,
1892.
This was decided Monday night af-
ter the board met with taxpayers to
discuss the expense of the music de-
partment.
When the committee members
stated that they were not represent
ing anyone but themselves, the board
expressed its regret in not having a
representative group from the 1UO
petition signers and told the commit
tee that it was doubtful if the plan
should be changed to meet the wishes
of II taxpayers.
A heated discussion arose when one
of the committee members inquired
about the expense of running the
athletic department. Several MN
utes were spent in arguing which is
the more important, athletics to some
SO boys or individual lessons to ap-
proximately 80 students.
Corbett Opens Meeting
Joseph M. Corbett, president of the
school board, opened the meeting by
explaining to the committee the pur-
pose of the gathering. He said that
the boards purpose was to explain
the situation and ask for comments
and advice from the body. He ex-
planned the plan which the board
adopted in February in regard to the
music, commercial and Junior High
athletic departments.
Before the committee voiced opin-
ions, DIR. J. w. Inglis, secretary. read
the minutes of the three previous
meetings. The meeting of February
8, showed that the board entered a
discussion, but no definite action was
taken. The meeting of February ID
revealed that the board made the
motion to save the desired $4,000,
but as some of the members were alb
sent, again the decision as to where
the ten thousand could be saved was
withheld.
The third meeting was held Feb
ruary 10 when the board announced
its intention to save through the
elimination of the commercial depart
ment, the Junior High athletic coach
and plan to have music instructor
who would teach academic subjects as
we'll as orchestra and band. Other
recommendations included putting the
school on a more stringent economy
basis, cutting the teachers salaries
five per cent and limiting the use OF
the school for night entertainments.
Smith Speaks for Committee
w. M. Smith acted as chairman for
the committee and spoke to the board
on it's behalf. He told the board the
committee accepted it's invitation to
come to the meeting as it felt that
steps which the board members had
taken were serious ones which need
ed correcting. He said that both the
committee and he would appreciate it

DIET VERY IMPORTANT IN
WINTER.
wv. D. Brown, MD

Experiments in nutrition during the
last twenty years have brought to
light many scientific truths. Eating,
if done properly, is not just matter
of quantity but rather proper bal
ance of quantity and quality This
means that the body is machine
which requires several different ele-
ments to make 1t run properly.
During the summer time when fresh
fruits and vegetables are easily avail
able, every one eats them freely al
most to the exclusion of meat and
fatty foods. In the winter most every
one thinks that all he needs is plenty
of meat, potatoes, and bread, believ-
ing that the energy from these sub
stances Is all that is necessary for
the body.
Nothing is farther from the truth.
Whereas these articles of food in suf-
ficient quantity do give the calories,
nevertheless they are wanting in min
erals and vitamins which are just as
necessary in body maintenance.
Minerals such as calcium, iron, mag
nesium, manganese are obtained
chiefly from the green vegetables.
The vitamins necessary are obtained
in butter, fresh fruit, milk, uncooked
green vegetables.
Of all the elements of food, the Wit.
amins are the most interesting. Elk
act analysis of them has baffled every
one, but we know from feedig expert.
NETS that there are at least five of
them, the lack of ay one of which
over a period of time, will cause some
body disorder.
Therefore pick your fods not only
for their energy value but also for
their mineral and vitamin value.
