Palmer Fare Will Mark
Menus of Diet Squad

Chicago, Nov 29. - Palmer fare
will mark the menus of the diet squad
of the Chicago Health Department
during the remainder of the attempt
to demonstrate how to live we'll at
reasonable prices, the second week of
which began to-day. DR.. John Dill
Robertson, health commissioner, ex-
pressed the hope that in the final week
the cost of feeding the twelve dieters
might be cut to about rs cents a day
per person. The cost for the first
week was 33 2-3 cents, exclusive of
allowances for fuel, light, heat, service
and other overhead expenses.
Only two dozen eggs were used in
the first week, these costing 40 and
A cents a dozen. Thirty-five quarts
of milk, at nine cents. were used,
chiefly for cooking. Economics were
made, 1t was pointed out, by purchas-
ing in large amounts thus saving ffac-
tional weights and "split nickel"
charges, although all goods were pur-
chased in downtown retail stores
DR.. Robertson said he expects to
cut down the daily ration slightly and
to substitute less fattening and less
costly foods, pointing out that in the
first week the members of the squad
made g. total gain of 26 q pounds and
that the average had increased from
152,0S to 15431

ANNEXATION OF
RIVERSIDE MAY
GO TO PLANNERS
Commission Not Invited to At
tend Councilmanic Confer
ence on Ordinance

While no invitation has been ex-
tended the City Planning Commission
to attend the councilmanic confer
ence Friday evening relative to the
Riverside annexation, it is the belief
in city circles that the Bowman an
nexation ordinance will be referred of
course, to the planners.
For weeks the planners have been
busy plotting out the streets north of
the city with the sole purpose of es-
tablishing uniformity of line, and
otherwise solving the highway prob
valuable in tnsuring convenience and
efficiency in the development of the
section in years to come.
When the ordinance authorizing the
annexation was read for the first time
yesterday Council decided to consider
the measure in conference and s
o'clock Friday was fixed for the pur-
pose.
No request for the attendance of
the city planners was included in the
motion, however, and unless an in
vitation is extended without formal
action, the planning commission will
not sit in at the meeting. Naturally
this oversight caused some surprise
in municipal circles but the opinion
was advanced to-day to the effect that
the ordinance might be referred to
the commission afterward.
City Commissioner w. H. Lynch,
superintendent of streets and public
improvements said he favored refer
ring the ordinance to the planners.
ITO my mind this measure could
go to the planning commissioners"
said he. Personally l don't know
how I'll stand on the question yet: I
am surely for Riverside coming into
Harrisburg but if it is going to cost
us in the neighborhood of ten thou
a,AI ALL 1,,xr
TEN why think the whole plan should
be given careful consideration before
we agree.

TEN, some provision must be made for
taking care of the drainage along the
river. The proper method would be
to continue the river front intercept
tor from Division street northward. a
distance of $500 feet, and this will
cost from $25,00O to $4,000"

vestibules have marble floors and
wainscoting. The choir rooms and
pastors office are at the rear of the
building and over the pastors room
is a meetingplace for the official
board.
The basement of the new church
provides rooms for a primary school,
gymnasium, dining hall and stage
for entertainments. A kitchen, locker
rooms, shower baths and retiring
rooms make the church equipment
among the most up-to-date in the city.
A low pressure airline steam sys-
tenn is used for heating, and one of
the most approved systems of ventila-
ton has been installed.
The exterior of the edifice is Ro-
manesque in outline with an Italian
feeling in it's detail. Its parts are
massive in outline and simple in de-
tail. The exterior is faced with buff
