BRIGHT PROSPECTS
IN IMPROVEMENTS

Chicago April S.-Prospects for
building are improving, due to lower
priced materials and an abundance of
labor. Brick and lumber are cheaper
than last year. Cement is off 30 cents
per barrel, and structural steel s.
per ton lower. 1t is easy to secure
money with which to build, and in
certain quarters there is a disposition
to erect new structures. 1t is est-
mated that over S3,000000 Of new
structures have been planned and fig
ured on for the business district.
Architects make cheerful reports,
having orders from Kansas City.

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON POSTOFFICG5

Washington, April S.-The Senate
Committee on postoffices and post
roads has ordered favorable report
this week on composite measure
made up of bills introduced by Sem
ators Knox and Garter for the estab-
1ishment of system Of postal savings
banks. This action was due largely
to the energy with which the subject
has been agitated by the new post
master-general, George Won L. Meyer,
who has made postal savings banks
and parcels posts his two pet hobbies.
There is a reason to believe that
the bill will pass the Senate at this
session. the ease with which it Slip
ped through the postoffice committee
being a good indication that it will
not encounter serious opposition on
the floor.

the number OF people who have been
crippled In health for years after an

hear people date various ailments or
chronic tl-health from an attack OF
influenza.
The real danger from the grip is
during convalescence. when the cha

leaves behind It weakened vital pow
