Resumption of normal activity in
building is regarded by the depart
ment of labor as the first step in tran
sition from war to a peace basis.
The war practically ended building of
all sorts not connected with the gov
ernment's program, thru restrictions
on CONSTRUCTION and movement of
building material. At this time, build
ing of economically sound projects
will benefit not only the building in
dustry but industry as a whole, and
will smooth the pathway from war
time conditions to the normal. More
over, building remains a permanent
betterment to every community. The
pivotal nature of the building industry
and the fact that building materials
have shared less in the general infIa-
ton of commodity prices than almost
anything else, make stimulation of
building the most feasible means of
aiding industry.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By AIRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson Some time
ago 1 had a boil on my face. 1t was
on my left cheek and left a very ugly
scar. What can 1 do to remove it?
ROSE GERANIUM.
Scars will often disappear with time,
but If yours proves obstinate, make a
lotion of sixty grains of boric acid and
eight ounces of witch hazel. and see if
this has any effect. Massage will aid
considerably the passing of scar.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
corresponding with young man in
camp for about nine months and 1
knew him for about three years before
he was drafted. He is just an old boy
friend of mine. He is coming home
soon and will be here for his birthday
Please tell me if it will be all right to
give him a little present? NJ. j.
1t will be better not to give him a
birthday present. If you want him to
know that you remember the occasion.
send him a birthday greeting.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is it proper
now for a young man to smoke in a
girls company without first asking
her permission? DOUBTFUL.
He should first ask the girl if she

had to begin a half year ago. 1 put
cold cream on my face every night.
Please tell me how to get rid OF them.
SWEET SIXTEEN.

YOU can better the condition by watch

or fried foods. pastries or candy. Ex-
ercise great deal and sleep with your
windows wide open at night.
| Dear Mrs. Thompson: Should boy
have the. permission of the girls par
ents to marry her before giving her a
diamond as an engagement ring?
| THANK YOU.
Out of courtesy to the girls parents
the man should mention his intentions
to them before he announces his en-
| gagement by presenting the ring.

1t is unfortunate that the railroad
muddle has been brought into prom

every wheel in our industrial machine

conducted on the scale to meet up-to-

A sink cared for in this manner will
never be stopped up or have dis
agreeable odor.
At least once a week flush the tot
let with a boiling hot lye solution and
rinse. This will keep it sanitary.
Sprinkle lye around rat and mouse
holes and in damp and musty cellar
corners to drive away troublesome ro-
rents.
Care of Hands-Purchase four
ounces rosewater. four ounces orange
flower water, one dram spirits of
benzoin, one ounce bruised almonds,
one-half dram borax.
Put the almonds in the orange flow
er and rosewater and let stand
borax and shake until dissolved. Final
ly put in the benzoin, a drop at time,
constantly shaking.
Before putting this on the hands
wash them in very warm water and
dry lightly. Gently massage the To-
ton in several times in the evening,
then coat the hands with cold cream.
Slip on a pair of loose gloves before
going to bed.
