THE LUNCH QUESTION.

How a Big Chicago Firm Solved It.
So many employees 'bolt the lunch and
eat what they should not that they soon
show the effect in nervousness and dys-
pepsia. This has attracted the attention
of managers of the big stores and shops.
In ono Chicago firm an experiment on
some of the girls resulted in a complete
solution of the question.
Tho woman that made the experiment
tells the tale as follows: about year
ago became alarmed at the state OF my
daughters health. She was employed by
a bie- firm here and for some reason
steadily lost flesh, grew very nervous,
had no appetite and could not sleep.
Questioning her I found she ate but
little lunch for at that busy hour she was
seldom served promptly and the time De

A MODERN HOTEL
AN ASSURED FACT
Raleigh Will Get What it Has
Wanted.
THE MARLBOROUGH LEASED
Mr., Howell Cobb of the Carolina and Mountain
Park Hotels Will Remodel, Thor
oughlyEquip and Mod
ernie It.

modern hotel for Raleigh has passed
out of the realm of talk.
One is to be had here, and the man at
the head of the movement shows it will
be Grst-class in every respect.
Yesterday the Marlborough House was
leased to Mr.. Howell Cobb, proprietor
of the Hotel Carolina at Durham and
of the Mountain Park Hotel at Hot
Springs. whose reputation as a hotel man
tells the story of modern hotel for
Raleigh.
The lease of the Marlborough is for
term of years, and it will be opened
under the management of Mr.. Cobb in
the early fall, but when Mr. Cobb takes
charge it will be a new Marlborough.
Extensive changes and improvements
are to be made, and the Marlborough is
to be thoroughly modernized. In every
part of the building changes will be
made. An elevator will be put in, the
building will be equipped for steam heat,
the rooms will be re-arranged and there
will be bath suites. New carpeting. new
furniture and everything of the best will
be the rule.
A great deal of money will be spent in
making these extensive improvements.
and its use will not be stinted in making
the new Marlborough a modern, attractive
3nd first-class hotel
This is not talk. Yesterday the legal
documents arranging for the transfer of
the Marlborough to Mr.. Cobb were drawn,
signed, sealed and delivered They are
a matter of record and there is no mis-
take about it.
This paper is assured that it is the
purpose of Mr.. Cobb to give to Raleigh
hotel that its people will point to with
pride, hotel the equal of any in the
State. The plans for the changes are
in the hands of architects and these
changes will be such as to make the
Marlborough an attractive and modern
hostelry.
This will be gratifying news to the
people of Raleigh, and to the great num-
Der of visitors who come to this city.
When the new Marlborough is in operation
it will be the equal of the best, a hotel
that will be in keeping with the capital
of the State.

isfactory results. Running through the
experiments of Faraday, Andrews and De-
wer, he summed up the experiments lead
ing to the liquification of oxygen and
hydrogen. BY an irony of fate, Dewer,
the successor of Faraday, vitiliZed prin-
ciple of liquification of oxygen, using
the same apparatus with which Faraday
had failed. Up to this time America had
not shared in the glory of this research.
1t is, however, to Chas. E. Tripler, an
American, that all honor is due for the
discovery of the liquification affair.
Prof. Hunter then clearly illustrated by
diagram the process employed in Wash
ington for the commercial preparation of
liquid aid. Then followed series of
interesting experiments. Chief among
these We're the remarkably brittle condi-
ton produced in rubber, parafine, resin,
the soldifying of alchol whislley, ether,
chloroform, and mercury, which was rem
dered so solid that hammer was made
from it with which nails were driven.
The display of Raleigh beef with a
reference to it's tough condition called
forth some jocular comment. but when
frozen with liquid air it was passed out to
the audience in dainty morsels. Gran
berries were frozen in liquid air, while
at the same time they were stirred with
rod OF glowing carbon, the difference in
temperature between the two being more
than $1,000 degrees. Some of the most
pleasing experiments were the boiling of
liquid air on a block of ice and the re-
markable oxidiZing property by liquid
air as shown by the vigorous burning of
hair gun powder and iron when treated
with it.
A large and appreciative audience gave
the speaker undivided attention through
out the entire evening.
