THE Hygeia Dining Rooms, located conveniently near the University of Chicago for the benefit of the students and members of the faculty of this educational center, are enjoying fair success; and the patrons, as they come and go, speak words of appreciation and praise for the good meals, which are in every way up to the standard of what a wholesome and hygienic meal should be, and for the attractive manner in which they are served. To supply the frequent demands for health foods, a small stock of these has recently been added, and it is believed that they will meet with a ready sale.

The Chicago Life Boat Rest for Girls, located on South Clark Street, has proved a blessing to many a friendless girl who has become weary of her life of sin and misery. It requires great patience and faith in God successfully to carry on a work so fraught with discouragements and hardships as is rescue work in a large city, yet here and there are some encouraging results, which testify to the fact that the efforts of these workers are not in vain. During a short time last year, eight girls were brought into the Life Boat Rest, as a place of refuge; and out of that number, all but two are to-day living upright Christian lives.

The Chicago Sunday morning jail services, which are carried on by some of the students of the American Medical Missionary College, and other gospel workers of the Chicago Medical Mission, are showing some encouraging results, several converts being reported every Sunday. As these cases are followed up, as well as they can be consistently, it is a satisfaction to know that at least some of the seed sown has fallen on “good ground.”
