Latest Thing in "Quick Lunch" Restaurants. In the opening of their cafeteria rcxt Veek the Youn Women's' Christian Association are inaugurating a scheme which is new to Montreal, and one which they' feel will fill a long-felt want. The plan commends itself especially to business women and girls and others whose time is limited and who find it an annoyance to wait for fifteen or twenty minute for a lunch order to be served, necessitating a rush through the meal, Mrs. Belle C. Ransori, of Rochester, who has come on here to take charge of the cafeteria and under whose supervision the installation of equipment is beins made, is a graduate of the Domestic Science section of the Rochester Mechanics Institute, She has studied the cafeteria system from a practical standpoint, and is optimistic of Its -oving here, as it has elsewhere, a gret success.

The system is self-serving ani simple In Its arrangement: The bill of fare will be printed on e. blackboard, the price of each dish stated. Each customer, on entering. will secure a tray. mke her selec tion the menu and help herself to dishes required, and sit down at once to her mml, which she may eat at leisure, any spare time being spent in the rest room which is in connection with the eaifeteria, If she so desires.

Ac no waiters are required, expenses are lessened and meals c-in be served at reasonable rctes. The-e can be greater variety of choice. The customer pays only for what Rhe gets, a decided advantage for those who under ordlnirv "so much a mouth, or week," system, frequently have to pay for meals for which they do not care, and sometimes do not mve el all. The installation of t'ie necessary tquipmtnt has proved expensive, but a share of the expenses have be.r. mat through the generous contributions of friendB of the association, including: SiJ'-scrlptions to Onfetterla: Miss Alice Maclennan.

jamu ul R. THt BRcAKiNG OF WINitR OSTKK KbSDLTS IK SOME BkKAKB I Methodist Edifice on Coursol Street Was Badly Damaged. A FIREMAN INJURED. New Deaconesses' Home Next Door Was Imperilled Books in Church Lost. Damabe estimated at $10,000 was done by fire late yesterday afternoon in the West End Methodist Church, corner of Canning and Ooursol streets, and while assisting in fighting the flames Fireman Lacroix, of No.

10 station. West St. Catherine street, was injured and had to be taken to the General Hospite.1. The outbreak originated in -the basement of the church, from an overheated furnace, and before it was discovered, the lire had spread up through the front wall of the edifice nd got between the roof of the building. When the western division of the brigade, under District Chiefs Briero and Lubslor arrived on the scene, the flames wer.

shooting tltrough the basement -windows Into Coursol street, and smoke was pouring from under the roof. Three lines of hose were carried In through the main door of the church, while ladders were raised on the Canning street side to fight the fire in Wie roof. While the firemen were at work, an explosion of confined smoke between the ceiling and the roof, blew a ton of stone and bricks from the top of the side wall into Canning street. In their hurry to get out of the way of the falling stones and bricks, the firemen jumped from the ladders. One of them landed on top of Fireman Lacroix, dislocating his bnouiner and Knocked him out.

Can- tain Prevost and Lieut. Collins, of tne beigneurs street police station. pulled Lacroix out of danger, and Captain Prevost rendered first Bid to the injured, pending the arrival of an ambulance from the General Hospital. It was a difficult Maze for the firemen to handle, as the fire threatened to spread through the walls and burn out the whole interior of the build ing. It was necessary for the Are men to get their ladders inside the church and tear down, a considerable portion of the ceiling in the front part of the building before they could check the outbreak.

BUILT 22 YEARS AGO. I The West End Methodist Church was built twenty-two years ago, the corner stone being laid in June, 189'), when Rev. Dr. Flanders was pastor. It cost about and only insured for between $18,000 and $19,000.

The church is a substantial and imposing looking edifice, built in grey stone, with a wide facade, flanked by two towers, one of which w.is completed. The entrance is on jCour. sol street, and the east side overlook Canning street. The basement i used as a Sunday School and ths church itself is above this, and Is reached by two flights of stairs. Th minister's and other vestries are also in the basement.

The basement practically escaped harm from the flames, but wap flooded, and the fittings and furniture of the Sunday School and vestries will probably be found to hav been destroyed by water. Rev. El-wood James, the pastor, had installed his study in one of these vestries only a day or two back, and" had carried ihis library and papers there. He. was fortunately next door at the time the fire broke out, and was able to get In and save his books and effects.

Less fortunate were the deaconesses, who had stored a quantity of books in a vestry on the Canning street side. It was impossible to. got in, ana it was assumed Vast night that these books had been rendered worthless by water and smoke. The deaconerses had, In fact, a real house-warming. They have taken possession of the parsonage adjoining tho church and a house next door, the property having been acquired with the proceeds of the recent whirlwind campaign when over $25,000 was raised as an endowment fund.

The pastor, Rev. Elwood James, had bachelor quarters in the parsonage, but was preparing to quit. The gallery ir. the rear of the parsonage also suffered through the explosion of flames and smoke, which hurled several stones with force sufficient to smash tho woodwork and break some windows. The organ appeared to be Intnct, but it will doubtless be found to have suffered from smoke, heat and water.

Trustees of the church were unable last night to estimate the damage sustained, but one estimate was In tho neighborhood of $10,000. Arrangements Ireve been made for the holding of divine service tomorrow In the Royal Arthur School, Cunning street, between Workman and Albert rtreet. Afternoon Sunday School, ns well as morning and evening service will be held there. PART FOR MILK STATIONS. Fund Gets Third of Tag Day Proceeds.

However small may be the allotment of Tag Day funds for other purposes, the babies are to be remembered. The Local Council ami Confederation at a Joint meeting held this week, decided that one-third of the total proceeds of the campaign should be devoted to the milk station fund, the sum not to be less than three thousand dolllars. If the proceeds of the day amount to mere than $9,000, go much the letter for the babies. The public has realized In the past tho Immense benefit the milk stations have been to the city in the preservation of Infant life and health, particularly during the hot weather, and not only among the very poor, but also in the case of many families obliged to remnln In the city during the greater part of the summer and having neither knowledge nor facilities for the proper treatment of the milk. In recognition of this the City Council has voted a grant of fifteen hundred dollars towards the support of the milk stations Each station requires one thousand dnllars' a year to keep It running There are three stations In operation, one of which was kept open all winter.

Last summer was especially heavy In Its demands on the funds and supplies of the eta-tkina, hence i Paris YOUR ROOF We make quick and eipert repairs at moderate price. Just 'phone to Westmount Plumbing and Heating Limited E. C. MOUNT, Manager, 4278-80 St. Catherine St.
