This sum includes the cost of the new dormitories, the stadium, the science hall and various minor im- provements. Difficulty in supplying jobs for stu- dents is being experienced by the sec- retaries of both Union and Y. M. C. A. employment bureaus. "Only five men. have been given jobs since the Christ-a mas vacation, and there are a hun- dred men on our waiting list," is theI statement made by Carl Guthe, sec- retary of the Union bureau. After-' noon and Saturday work is particu- larly in demand. Two of the students seeking employment stated that if nothing could be found within a few weeks they would be obliged to leave college.

The stomach is more often "insult- ed" through carelessness and misuse, probably, than any other organ of the body. The general factors productive of gastric disorders are by no means few. Those relating to the nervous' system stand at the head of the list. Meals must be taken amongst pleas- ant surroundings and with an easy mind. If the individual eats at a time when he is worrying or with his eye on the clock, having an 8 or 1 o'clock class in view, it is pretty certain that he has not obtained much benefit from that meal. On the other hand, attend- ing an elaborate banquet with too numerous courses and yet because of the hour:s at the table being hours of pleasure and good fellowship, what- ever harm follows is purely mechan- ical from overloading the stomach. The influence of mental process over digestion is found in th gastric dis- comforts ensuing upon a fit of anger during or shortly after meals, or loss of appetite following upon bad temper before meal time. Tobacco, tea, coffee, and alcohol tak- en into the body are capable of disorder- ing the stomach. Coffee used in mod- eration, once daily as a rule, is not to be prohibited, since the morning cup oft times promotes regularity of stool, thereby being beneficial. Indulgences in pastry, sweet and highly seasoned foods, the productsof the frying pan, and foods which are notoriously difficult of digestion, are responsible for many cases of stomach derangement. Imperfect mastication is probably the most frequent cause of gastric dis- order among the American people. The causes leading to it are "the habit of being in a hurry" and defective teeth. The influence or rapid eating is made still more pernicious by the free drinking of water at meals to wash down imperfectly salivated or masticated food. The dangers done by rapid eating are varied. It introduces into the stomach pieces of food of sizes larger than that organ should receive or can expect to manage properly. Necessar- ily, the lining of the stomach is ex- posed to "mechanical and even chemi- cal irritation (if food is retained and decomposes). Exercise in the open air is an im- portant aid to digestion in the healthy. Hence it is that persons who lead se- dentary lives are not infrequently dys- peptics. This does not furnish good and sufficient reason for ordinary ac- tive exercise for all victims of gas- tric disorders. Violent physical exercise after eat- ing is almost invariably bad. Patients who are much under weight are bet- ter suited to rest than exercise, is like- wise certain. In the majority of cases, rest in a horizontal position, for a time, at least, after eating, is advis- able. The average man requires food hav- ing a heat value of 2720 calories per day. This should consist of fats, al- bumin and carbohydrates. Fats have a nutritive value far greater than that of any other class of foods. Fats are difficult of diges- tion. Some are difficult of digestion. Some are made so by processes of cooking, as by frying. Butter is a fat- ty food which even a delicate stomach can tolerate. It can be used with other easily digested foods, as bread. By judicious training in butter eating, we can do more than any other way in maintaining the individuals general nutrition. Olive oil has obtained great merits as a food, but it is over done and disturbs digestion and taxes the digestive powers when taken in quan- tities. Nurses Must Get Permission to Coast. Nurses at the University hospital have been forbidden to go coasting, without obtaining permission from Miss J. M. Pindell, superintendent of nurses. The nurses will only be al- lowed to coast on hills that Miss Pin- dell believes are safe, because many injuries to the nurses have resulted- in past years. Will Exhibit Illustrations in March.
