RETURNS FROM ALL PARTS OF COUNTRY
SHOW PRESENT LOW COSTS OF BUILDING

The following is an extract from an ed
itorial appearing in a recent issue of the
American Lumberman:
Statements have been received from
manufacturers, builders and contractors
in all parts of the United States These
statements go to show that the present
cost of building ranges from 10 to % per
cent below the outlay required last year.
No flat statement can be made as to the
relative cost of building this year and
last that would apply to all parts of the
United States. The build now cam
paign is making wonderful progress. 1t
has received the approval and indOrse-
ment of practically every newspaper to
which it has been submitted and of thou
sands of lumbermen and commercial and
trade organizations throughout the coun-
try. The statements made appear to
have aroused a general desire to get
busy and one of the best known means
is to go to work. This may sound whim-
steal but it is not so intended man
with idle money can find employment for
himself and his capital by improving va
cant property and his determination to
get busy will result in putting a score or
more people to work.
THE experience of thousands has dem
onstrated that all classes of buildings can
be put up much cheaper now than at any
time within the last five years. Those to
whom employment is given will do more
and better work for the same wages or
for less pay than was demanded last year
promptly and experienced builders know
that promptness on the part of material
people in delivering what is required has
much TO do with determining the final
cost of a structure.
1.-The American Lumberman this week
has secured from representative dealers
in Chicago close estimates showing the
relative costs of materials this year and
last. Among the items showing the heav-
lest decreases are the following:
Common brick 50. 10 to $5.25 in 1907; s.. 50
to So. IS in 1905
Portland cement domestic. now 34.6 per
cent less than in 1907
General mill work. now 10 to II per cent
less than in 1907.
with reference to mill work, prices
were secured from a local house and the
estimates made in 1904, 1905 and 1906 are
contrasted with the prices on the same
mill work during the years first named
was s901.5a At the present time the ma
terial would be sold for $3.50. 20, decrease
in the value of 1913 per cent
MANY well known men of conservative
dispositions have stated that building
can be done now at a less cost than at
any time within the last five years. Some
of those reporting go far as to say
within the last eight years. 1t is but ma
| tural to conclude that as soon as activity
| throughout the country becomes general
and the demand for labor and material
| increases there will be return to the
| basic values which prevailed during and
prior to 1907. 1t may take some time to re-
| cover the ground lost, but the people of
| the country should understand that the
| depression which lately has shown dis
| position to say good-by was not brought
about by reason of or supported by poor

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY.
New Drug, Posiam, Now obtainabie
in Small Quantities.

Since its discovery one year ago, the
new drug. poslam, has successfully
cured thousands of chronic cases OF
eczema and other distressing skin af-
fiictions. 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 il for minor skin trcu-
bles. such as pimples/ blackheads,
herpes. acne, scaly scalp. complexion
blemishes, itching feet, piles. etc,
which require but a small quantity to
cure. To overcome this, and in re-
Spouse to urgent appeals, the dispens-
ers of poslara have been obliged to
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

In all eczema cases poslam stops Itch

ing cured in two weeks. In less seri-
Gus skin troubles, results are seen after
an overnight application.

Mrs. M. J. Roland at Wells, New.
Captain William Driver at the
Right.

Captain William Driver. the man who
christened the American flag "Old Glory
was born in Salem, Mass, March Il, 1903.
At the age of IS Driver was apppren-
ticed to a blacksmith. Instead of max
ing plows and shoeing horses, however.
the blacksmith's wife set him at work
milking ccwS and doing light chores. In
order that he might surpass the other
boys of the place in personal appearance
the blacksmith's wife clothed him with
shirt waist of unbleached goods, with
great rows of ruffles down the front
Driver demurred. but the blacksmith's
wife insisted that the shirt must stay on
However, when Driver was going out
through the. gate it was noticed that he
rolled up his sleeves; he knew that he
was in for fight with every boy in town.
When he gQt around the corner he care
fully cut away as much of the ruffleS as
he could. but he had to fight. neverthe-
less; and he came out of it all triumph
ant though somewhat diSfigured. as
might be expected of a lad that has to
lick the whole crowd just because some
woman puts a ridiculous costume on him
So he ran away and went to sea.
During his first voyage at sea after a
severe storm. which caused the shin to
spring leak, the men refused to work
the pumps unless their wages were raised.
The old captain of the ship sent Driver
below for his pistols and pipe When
he brought them on deck the captain cut
the boats loose, lit his pipe, sat down and
or AL hands would go to hell together .
They returned to the pump, and saved
the ship.
He sailed with this captain for five
years, who soon afterwards made him
mate. and from him he learned many
valuable and useful lessons. He left him
to become mate on another vessel and
soon afterwards trading master At the
age of q he was made master of ship
in 1924.
1t was about at this time that he chris
tened the flag "Old Glory" as he and his
old captain had seen some stirring times
under its folds and considered no name
too sacred for IL. He commanded differ
ent ships from that time on until he left
the ocean and settled in Nashville, Tenn.
in 1887. He passed through many thrilling
and perilous adventures after he became
captain, was chased by a heavily armed
Yankee pirate in the Caribbean sea for
six hours. He outsailed and lodged him
in the dark, and saw the pirate hanged
afterwards, much to Captain Driver
satisfaction.
He had considerable experience with
Malay pirates and South Sea cannibals. TO
say nothing of the ocean storms. He left
Salem once in company with six other
vessels They were caught in one of
the worst snow and wind storms ever
known on the New England coast His
ship alone escaped; the other six and all
on board were lost He stood at the
