lesser amount. it not bound to accept the work
of the architects when 1t is demonstrated that their
plans contemplate an unauthorized addition Of 30
per cent to the cost.

Causes of Stomach Troubles.
FOUR PROFESSORS CLAIM THAT QUICK
LUNCHES BRING ON DISEASES.

The "buSiDess lunch" threatens to
accomplish the destruction Of the
human race-or so much of it as
dwells in large American citieS-if
the statistics abducted by eminent
physicians and surgeons, at the meet
ing of the Chicago Medical Society,
are found tc be the unfailing mirrors
of destiny that the doctors promise.
In the alarming increase of inteSti-
nal or gastric" ulcers such eminent
medical practitioners as DrS. N. S.
Davis, Jr., W. A. Evans, j. B. Her
rick and E. w. Andrews announced
in a symposium that they feared the
American stomach would give out in
the course of time unless the public
becomes wise enough TO curb and
regulate the lunch counter method Of
hasty eating.
1t would seem that danger from
gastric liberation is not confined
alone to the men, who are the con-
sumers of the business lunches, but
that women are also threatened. To
the womens habit of eating few
bites at many hours of the day their
eminent peril is ascribed.
Everyone should counterfeit the
danger brought about by too haSty or
overeating by taking at meal times
