LEND 75PER CENT
ON NEW HOMESN NOW

Building associations are lending as
much as IS per cent of the cost OF
building new homes in meritorious
cases now. witch fact has greatly aid
ed the building boom in the District
in the past month, it was learned to-
day.
Such amounts. however. are not al
lowed in speculative building, bit
only where a man of good character
is building a home to, live in, and
owns a site in a good neighbOrhood.
According to an estimate of Ed
ward H. Mealy, secretary of the
Builders and Manufacturers EX-
change, 100000 worth of building
has been on small jobs, and includes
$50 homes and 355 garages, a healthy
indication for the building situation
in Washington today.
Mr. MeaIy believes that the recent
building sterilization conference has
gone a long way toward helping. the
increased activity of the, past month.
The conference eliminated the I'M
certainty in the minds of builders"
he said. "They know they can buy
material now as cheap as they can
possibly get it this year, and If there
is any reduction in prices, the deal
ers will give them the benefit of the
decline. Labor has also indicated
scale above which they will not go
this year, at least"

If YOU Need 4 Medicine
You Should 6aye the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says Take for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
Suits as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact
30 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post Address
