Apparatus For Process Cost $50,000; Will Treat Thirty-
Six Patients
A system of treating diseases by air pressure has been recently perfected by Dr. O, J. Cunningham, associate professor of surgery at the Bell Memorial Hospital at Rosedale, Prof. C, F. Nelson has been Doctor Cunningham on the metabolism and research side of the work.
The apparatus used consists of a steel tank eight feet long and ten feet in diameter. The tank has thirty six compartments each of which is equipped with a standard sleeping car equipment furnished by the Pullman Company. The tank has shower baths, wash rooms and four clothes closets The cost of the equipment was $50,000.
Numerous diseases are to be treated by this air pressure system according to Doctor Cunningham. These include rheumatism, neuritis, gout and osteoarthritis due to the presence of irritating substances in the blood. The theory is that increasing the amount of oxygen in the lungs by pressure causes the body to take oxygen into the lungs it impossibly lives on the anaerobic germs.
Thirty-six patients may be treated in the sthank at one time. Already Dr. Cunningham has more than d* humour for the air pressure treatment.
The person undergoing the treatment does not notice the increased air pressure according to Doctor Cunningham. The patients may read or amuse themselves in the tank while the air pressure is increased.
"The system of air treatment has been developed to a large extent during the past eight months at the Bell Memorial Hospital. The idea was tried over years ago, for permanent oncology only in recent years has it been used on recent hashes", said Doctor Cunningham.
This is the only apparatus of its kind in the United States, and its development is being watched by all the great medical experts of the present day according to Professor Nelson.

"Salads, salads, salads, girls are forever eatin' salads," said one sorority cook when asked what University girls liked to eat. "Girls are more f尼nky about their eatin' than boys. I used to cook at a fraternity. It was good, common, substantial grub, and plenty of it. They don't care what they'e eatin' so long as it's food, but girls like dainty fix's."

Sororities Are More Finicky Than Fraternities Says Cook
"I've been cooking at the clubs so over twenty years," said Mrs. Emma Hagan, cook at the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house. "I've cookel for both sororities and fraternities and they're both just alike as we do." But it's not that they can get. There isn't much difference, but of course, girls like dainty things more than boys. They like salads and chocolates—that's their drink, and ice-specially at this time of the year. Girls eat an awful sight of sweet stuffs" she says. The Kappa house fixin' sweet things. My! but those girls are sure to eat a lot of sweet things. They are crazy about desserts. Boys like the same things too. They'll eat salads and sweets too, if you give it to them. People think that boys don't like anything better. They will eat the dainties too, if the housemother orders them.
"I know all about them, I've been cooking at sororites and fraternities ever since there were any, and before that I cooked at boarding clubs, I used to cook at the old Praser club down on Tennessee and I cooked at Pi Phi seven years, and I used to cook for the Theta girls and for the Pi Phi girls. If I remember correctly the Pi Phi's were the first sorority in town, and I was their first cook. I cooked for them before they were organized, when they were just a club down on Tennessee street.
"Times certainly have changed since then," she said, "why, when I first started out cooking I got four dollars a week for cooking for twenty people and doing all the dish washing. Just think of it, four dollars a week. But law, I could do more with that four dollars then, than I can do with twice what I'm getting now.
"It wasn't as hard cooking and washing dishes for those twenty people then as it is just cooking for this bunny now. They didn't put on much style then. I didn't have for me a few, but every meal the way these dishwasher do now. We served everything family style. We put everything on the table at once, and let them themselves. And one good thing about them was that they were all allowed to eat. But they weren't get anything."
"It it doesn't make any difference at all." Mrs. Hagan said emphatically when asked if the high cost of living made any difference in the sorrow they felt; "they want they have, when they want it and the way they want it."
Now-days it's difficult for a girl to decide whether she would rather be fascinating enough to get a rich husbond or to get to get a fascinating one. The State.
