have already found business lively
enough to warrant the forming of two
chains of restaurants. Others who have
started recently with one establishment
are planning to extend their businesses,
Unless the boom fails within a short
time other chains will be added to the
first two, and eventually a combination
of all will be made That Is the view Of
restaurant men of long experience.
Market and Chestnut streets from
Broad street to "a are the principal
fields invaded by the new industry. The
two chains have opened eight lunch
rooms on these thoroughfares within six
months. side streets have also given
way before the onslaught and accommo-
date nearly ten more establishments one
has been opened in West Philadelphia
and others probably will follow.
Besides the need for replacing the OBJ
solete lunch box the steady increase of
transient population of the city has pro-
vidcd the new restaurants with business.
Various predictions are made for the flu
ture of the new lunChrOomS. Those
whose experience has been the longest
forecast the extinction of many, but a
hghtIng chance for at least 10 of the new
establishments.

Others with n long experience in feed
ing Philadelphians at the lunch hour
agreed with this diagnosis of the s!tua-
tion. There were a number of factors,
but the passing of the lunch box was at
the foundation of the increasing quick

LUMBAGO-DONT DEPEND
ON FRIENDS TO CURE 1T
By WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. D.

LIE WAS 81 years old, rather too stout,
l. i bookkecper heavy smoker,
flabby, disinclined to walk to and from
hIS work. For six weeks he had suffered
with lumbago and had been compelled 20
give up work. The man was damned with
too many friends. and every friend had
remedy which the poor fellow had to
try in order to keep peace in the COM
munity Among other things he tried
three kinds of plasters, two kinds OF kid
ney cure" electricity, Turkish baths, as
pir!n, chiropraCtic adjustment and blis-
ter But the back remained "about the
same"
Finally some one had brilliant
thought. Why not go down and see the
family doctor. 1t might be something
growing in the spine!
Sure enough. The patient called on the
doCtor-after six weeks of misery
The doctor ordered him to strip off every
stitch of clothing. That was II good be-
ginning.
The spine was not tender. There was
no muscle spasm Seated in n chair the
patient could easily bend forward, so
that the spinal vertcbrae were probably
not inlamed With his knees stiff he
could bend forward and touch the floor
with his fingertips, showing that the sac
roilac Joints were probably not at fault
Sciatica was ruled out because there was
absolutely no tenderness to pressure along
the course of the sciatic nerve.
You see the doctor was trying to find
out what was the matter before attempt
Ing treatment
The hip movements were unlmpaired.

To the valleys of Vardar

From a PATRIOTS soul OF flame,

We fight and we ask not why.
