Financial Statement of the Home Builders Accompa- nied by a Dividend for Stockholders in Three fourths of the States

The 1914 financial statement of the Homebuilders has just been issued to the stockholders, showing not only the growth of the company but is accom- panied by substantial proof of its pros perity in the shape of the usual divi- dends:
 Home Builders was organized in January, 1910, with d paid capital ofj $l0,0G0. Its capitol and surplus now amount to S339, l2S.G3, with assets of $53S, 362.4S. During these five years We have paid to stockholders in dividends $6S,96S59 The last years dividend paid amounted to $26.9637S. The com pany constructed 133 houses. 107 con tracts now in force, the original price being $406367.62 now reduced to $313,- 366,30. of the 153 houses built and sold under contract. there have been but four forfeited and taken back by the company. Three of these have sold at more than cost and but one is now unsold.
 In addition to building onder contract on monthly payments. the company does general construction. With it's equipment of blaming mill (one of the best in the state), an architect, and building superintendent, and with am ple funds to carry any contract, it is in a position to compete with anyone. During the past year it built, under contract for cash, Dr. R. W. Craigs home in the state.
 Since the first of the year there has been marked improvement in finan cial conditions here. and similar re- ports come from the east. It is the general opinion that the war scare is over and that the United States is going to have a great business boom very soon.
 In the five years passed the Home builders has never failed to earn and pay it's regular quarterly diVident of per cent on preferred and S per cent on common stock and surpuls It has in addition. added 25 per cent to the value of the stock and the stockholders who purchased at par are now receiV- ing TO per cent interest on their in Vestment.

DRINK STATISTICS.

Figures showing an increase since 1904 of three gallons per capita in the nations consumption of alcoholic drinks need a footnote
 While the average consumption for 1913 was 22.6S, the average in 1907 and again in 1911 was 22.79 This gives the Prohibitionists a fair argu- ment for the success of their labors in at least preventing an increase
 What is more. the actual consumers of alcohol are estimated to be about 255 per cent of the total population, with an average of S9 gallons each. Of this 25.5 per cent it would be inter- esting to know what proportion do the heavy drinking
 If hard drinkers drink more but grow fewer. while the number of those who drink little or nothing keeps fair ly steady, totals and averages need not cause much worry to temperance workers.-New York World.

LIQUOR AND HEALTH.

LIQUOR AND HEALTH.
 Important evidence with regard to liquor and the public health was brought before the committee on the regulation of the liquor traffic in the District of Columbia by Prof Irving Fisher of Yale university. Professor Fisher showed
 That the lowering of the death rate i'll London has been exactly parallel to the lowered consumption of liquor in that city.
 That the lessening of liquor con- sumption in Sweden has been fol- lowed by a remarkable lowering of it's already low death rate.
 That alcohol, even in moderate quantity, actually lessens efficiency, mental and physical
 That alcohol greatly increases the susceptibility to disease
 That alcohol is an important cause of insanity.
 That alcohol lessens the average length of life, as shown by the re- ports of insurance companies and friendly societies.
 That alcohol increases poverty.
 These are the findings of cold science, not the testimony of anti alcohol enthusiasts.

FORMER CO. WORKER
ACCUSES DIR. ELY
Mismanagement Is Charge of
Ex-Trustee of Lemon Hill
Association.

Mismanagement and a disposition upon
the part Of Dr. James b. Ely to hire
other ministers to do the work he was
paid for doing caused tho resignation
of several of the members OF the board
Of trustees and the dlsbanding of the old
Lemon Hill Association last October. ac-
cording TO the statement of former
trustee today.
This former trustee, who desired that
his name should not be used, was seen
upon the suggestion of Ell X. Price sec
retary of the Fairmount Park Commits
sion. who suggested that perhaps some
of the old trustees of the Lemon Hill
Association could give some Information
on the refusal of the commission to grant
a license to Doctor Ely TO conduct serV-
icob at Lemon HILL"
Doctor Ely's method OF evading the
ruling OF tho commission which prohib-
its the collection OF funds nt the Lemon
Hill services" said this ex-trustee, may
be the reason why license was refused.
On one occasion Doctor Ely was going
to ask for a collection to atd my branch
of the work and / said to him when he
told me, I refuse TO allow you to use
my branch of the work as a lever to pry
money from the pockets of the public.
This man then explained the methods
by which Doctor Ely obtained funds at
the Lemon Hill services. He said collec-
ton plates were placed near the en-
frances, and that Doctor Ely would an
nounoe to the audience that he was not
permitted to take up collection, but II
any one felt 30 inclined, they could de-
posit whatever they felt like giving In
the plates as they passed out.
It is said that this practice. among
other things, caused the resignation Of
several Of the trustees OF the old associa-
tion last October.
Doctor Ely then formed his own asso-
citation, OF which the Rev. ]. Lincoln
Hall is president and Mr.. Walker sec
retary and treasurer Mr.. Hall was for
merly employed TO lead the choir at the
Garrick Theatre at $40 per night. while
Walker was former clerk at s25 per
week.

GREAT ARMS FACTORY
RUSHED TO COMPLETION
Remington Plant at Eddystone
Will Cover 100 Acres of
Ground When in Full Force.

EDDYsTONE, Pa, July H-Workmen
in the employ of one OF the 2S con-
tluctors now working OH the giant rifo
factory for the Remington Arms Com
pany. on the property of tho Baldwin
Locomotive Works. In this borough, said
that excavating has been going on for
the last several days for building that
will rival the structure now being built.
This building will cover "a or 25 acres
of ground and will be similar in con-
struction to the 20-acre one, which is
between Chester pike and the tracks of
the Philadelphia, Baltimore and WASH
ington Railroad. The now structure
will be on the opposite side of the rail-
road, and between the latter and the
Delaware River.
Work Is being pushed and tons Of
earth are being removed daily. The
chief complaint OF the contractor is that
he cannot obtain sufficient labor to hurry
the excayating as much as he desires.
The new building will be the largest
shop under single roof in the world and,
with the 20-acre and other smaller
buildings previously reported to be under
construction, will give the Remington
Arms Company approximately 100 acres
of floor space.
