REAL. ESTATE NEWS

Increased sales in real estate during
the past week indicate a remarkable
building spirit that prevails through
out the city. Available building lots
are being sold at a good price to in
VestOrs and home builders, who in near
ly every instance are buying lots in
order to improve them. The erection
of dwellings in the residence portion of
the city is indicative of growth and
progress. Residences in all stages OF
construction may be found almost ev-
erywhere in the city.
During the week the sale of lots in
the subdivisions has been especially
good. On Federal Heights the work
on two large residences has been start
ed, and several choice residence lots
have been sold. Popperton Place is
drawing the attention of those seeking
an excellent location for a beautiful
home. and as soon as it has been re-
plated it is believed that the sale Of
lots will be heavy. At Westminster
Heights many of the For Sale" signs
are disappearing, because the lots are
being purchased rapidly. Tower
Heights is demonstrating that it is one
of the city's most desirable residence
districts, and lots in that district sold
at large prices last week.
A few sales that were made last
week by some of the real estate men
follow:
Through Dowse & Morris, a lot was
sold by J. c. Whitaker to Edward
Schaffelburger for $4,000 a house and
lot by Henry Elder to H. B. McCabe
of Illinois, for $780, a residence by
David Benson to Theodore A. Peter
of Los Angeles, for $3.50; a residence
by the Thompson estate to Mrs. w. NJ
Young, for 81 200: a residence by Rich
ard Cranes to Sterling & Brown, for
81 600; a house and five lots by r. s.
Olson to G. F'itz of Chicago, for $3.50;
residence by James Kennedy to w.
Widner, for $500: a residence by DR..
Broadbent to ]. Pierce, for 81, $50.

ing the week ranging in acreage from
twenty to 100 acres, and declare that
they can trace these sales directly to
their advertising in The Herald.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY.
New Drug, Poslam, Now obtainable
in Small Quantities.

Since it's discovery one year ago, the
new drug, poslam, has successfully
cured thousands of chronic cases OF
eczema and other distressing skin af-
fictiOns. Heretofore poslam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit of ecZe-
ma patients in large jars sufficient for
a months treatment. This was found
to be an inconvenience to many thou
sands who use it for minor skin trou-
bles. such as pimples. blackheads,
herpes. acne, scaly scalp, complexion
hlemishes, itching feet, piles, etc,
which require but small quantity TO
cure. To overcome this, and in re-
Spouse to urgent appeals, the dispens-
ers of poslam have been obliged 10
adopt, in addition to the regular two
dollar package. a special 50-cent size,
which in future may be found on sale
at the F. J. Hill Drug Co. and other
leading drug stores in salt Lake City,
or may be ordered direct from the
Emergency Laboratories. No. 80 West
Twenty-ffth street, New York City
In all eczema cases pOslam stops itch
ing with first application. and proceeds
to heal Immediately; chronic cases be-
ing cured in two weeks. In less seri-
GUS skin troubles. results are seen after
an overnight application.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had, free Of charge, by
writing to the laboratories for them.

Repair Shop for Stomach.
Stomach Doesn't Fear 1t.

Nine-tenths Of all stomachs in Christen-
dom would not fear being sent to re-
pair shop; in fact The treatment that they
would get from a blacksmith would be
mild compared TO the inhuman treatment
that they get at our hands. This was
said by man who does not write medi-
cine ads, but who knows nevertheless
what he is talking about. He is one of
the kind of men through whom this old
world occasionally makes a little pro-
gress- His name, what's the difference .
it's ordinary enough. and ne was formerly
only an ordinary miner. but he mined
out something besides a days wages. 1t
was he who led others to do away with
the barbaric measures and ready-made
stomach dope. Ask a druggist about Pro

CITIZENS MAKE PROTEST.
Frame a Strong Paper Setting Forth
Their Objections to Be Presented
to County Commissioners.

Park City, April 25.-Relow is a copy OF
the protest to be handed to the county
commissioners at their regular meeting
next month. against the consolidation of
the Summit county schools. list of
names of the local taxpayers will accom-
pany the protest and 1t Is expected that
the contents of this petition will be well
considered before any attempt will be
made to force this consolidation scheme
through.
ITO the Honorable Board Of County
Commissioners of Summit County, Utah.
Gentlemen:-
City school district No. r. representing
the district containing As per cent of the
school children and paying So per cent or
the total school taxes paid In Summit
county. having been advised that an effort
is under way to consolidate all the school
districts of Summit county, making same
unit, we hasten to protest most Wig
orously against such consolidation and
earnestly pray that should your honorable
board De petitioned 90 effect such CONSOLE
datioI;, YOU will decline to pass the neces-
sary ordinance to consummate such.
We are moved to make this protest be-
cause conditions existing between Park
CITY and other sections of Summit county
are different from those which obtain in
many of the otheS counties of our state.
In the first place, district No. u not
only includes Park City, but all of Park
Citys mining district as well, and whilst
the population embraced in said territory
Is not equal to the numerical require
ments exempting the district from consol-
idation with other sections of the county,
our community nearly reaches the re-
uuired number of residents and taking
into consideration the fact that we are so
distantly located from about one-half of
Summit county that a consolidation such
as proposed would bring upon grave and
most serious injury as much as it would
take from US the control of our own
schools and thereby prevent us from ex-
ercising that circumspectiOn. vigilance and
watchful care natural for parents to ex-
ercise over their own children.
Second-Our district schools would not
be benefited by such consolidation. be-
cause a majority Of the school board, or
