I January. In this district the figures
are: First week in February, $15,OOO,-
600; second week, $9,000,OO0; third
week, $46,OOO0O0; fourth week, $780,
100000.
Private Work e1R Per Cent.
In the middle West 911s per cent OF
the construction contracts for Febru-
ary were for private construction,
per cent state and municipal work and
one-half per cent government construc-
| ton.
!. New York and New Jersey also show
important increases in February, and
in these two states residential building
made UP only 10 per cent of the total.
Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania
also show a slight Improvement over
the January figures, and 50 per cent
of the total was for residences.
Minnesota and the Dakotas report
ed contracts OF about $1,OOC,OOO. as
against 100000 for January.
These facts show that the hesitancy
about starting construction projects be-
cause of the high cost of materials is
apparently being overcome all over
| the country.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have 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 plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to 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,
preparation / 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
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of Thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
SO 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 sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

WHOLE SIBERT
FAMILY IN WAR

Washington.-Should Maj. Gen.
William L. Sibert, director of the
chemical warfare service of the United
States army, ever decide to write his
autobiography he can, like the late
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, his warm
personal friend, tell what "my five
sons and T. did to lick the kaiser, for
every one of the male members OF the
Sibert family is in the service, and
every one has an excellent record OF
achievement behind him.
An interesting question around the
Army and Navy club and in army
circles generally just now is: what
do you suppose will be the next as
signment of General Sibert?" for this
distinguished son of Alabama. is rec
ognized as one of the big men of
Americas fighting forces, and it is
generally conceded that he will be
picked for some important place, even
if the chemical warfare service is
not perpetuated.
General Sibert's work as the build
er of the Gatun dam in Panama is
known all over the world. 1t is also
generally known in this country that
he carried the first expeditionary
forces to France, where he and his
engineers paved the way for Per-
shing. Owing to the necessity for Sc
crecy in his latest command, however,

CRAWLED WITH LEG BROKEN
Crippled Youth Went Two Miles. for
Fear of Being Frozen
to Death.

Pueblo, Colo.-With death from
freezing staring him in the face and
suffering from a broken leg, Roland
Devore, sixteen years old, crawled two
miles to a neighbours home to obtain
assistance.
The youth had been on an errand
and was on horseback. The horse fell
and crushed the boys leg. A foot of
snow was on the ground and the wind
was bitter cold.
Knowing that he would freeze to
death if he remained, the boy dragged
himself along with his hands and
arms and pushed himself with the leg
that was not broken. Several times
the pain overcame him and he sank
exhausted into the snow. The skin on
his hand was worn off and the flesh
bleeding when at last he reached aid.

Business Shown to Be Slowly Re-

Federal Reserve Board Gives Result
of Inquiry Made by Its
Agents.

Washington, D. C.-The federal re-
serve board made public summaries Of
reports from federal reserve agents
throughout the country in answer to
a QUESTIONABLE recently sent out to
ascertain the extent Of business and
industrial readjustment. The reports
showed in general large stocks on
hand by manufacturers and dealers
and lessened demand, with prices de-
creasing in many cases.
A typical example of the reports
from Industrial districts was afforded
by the tabulation of replies TO ques-
lions from business concerns in the
Philadelphia federal reserve district.
These questions and classified replies

by executive order. It's function was
to manufacture gas, to load it into
shells, devise additional appliances for
delivering it, and to provide defensive
appliances for protection of the troops
against similar devices on the part OF
the enemy.
That this function was fulfilled is
shown in the fact that on November
II, the day the armistice. was signed,
standard plants were in operation
with production capacity greater
than that of France, England and
Italy combined, and we were turning
out ten times more gas than Germany.
We kept our allies supplied with toxic
gases, and while very little exclusively
American equipment got to France,
every American soldier at the front
was wearing a mask that was wholly
American in make.
While America, under the direction
of General Sibert, produced ten tons
Of gas to Germany's one, the surface
of production had hardly been touched
when the armistice was signed, and
had the war lasted until the spring
of 1919 Germany would have been
flooded with toxic gases such as the
world never dreamed of before.
Only five men in the world know what
the composition of this gas is, yet it
is said to be 20 times more power
full than mustard gas. SO great was
the secrecy in its manufacture that
the men at the plants were carried to
and from their meals under guard
and kept under constant surveillance.
Built Up Big Army.
Within less than six months, in o..
dition to the building and equir .lng
of the big manufacturing pla- ;, the

BUILDERS FACE
RECORD SEASON

westinghouse decided revival of
building all over the country, but par
ticularly in the middle West, is report
ed by Henry T. league, field agent for
the United States department of labor,
who has just completed a six-weeks'
tour from coast to coast.
"There will be a great deal of public
building during the next six months"
says league "The public improve
ments program for 1919, I am con-
WINGED, will equal that of any five
years in the country's history, and the
road-building activities from the At
lantic to the Pacific, once they are I'M
der way, will be tremendous.
''The scope of improvement work is
much larger in the West than in the
East.
'There is much criticism in the West
of the governments failure to go ahead
with it's own building operations. In
many localities federal buildings, for
which sites, plans and appropriations
were made before the war, are held up
because the original appropriation is
not high enough to cover the increased
cost of construction and additional
money has not been granted.
New Orleans, says Mr.. league,
shows more building activities than
any city he visited. The city is spend
ing $14000,000 on the municipal docks,
employing more than 10000 men.
South Bend, Ind, is developing a
model industrial residence section, CIV
ing homes to $4,000 new employees of
the Studebaker corporation. which is
to build a new $S,OOO,OOO factory.
Here's Building Program.
Other important building projects re-
ported by Mr.. league are:
Newark, N. J.-$3,O00,00O depart
ment store by J. L. Bamberger.
Kansas City, Mo.-$2,000,000 inter-

alton.

Detroit, Mich.-$35O, 900 department
store.
Cleveland, O.-$3OOOOO store and

tracts were reported to it in Febru-
airy. The total Of the January con-
tracts was only half that sum.
Nearly all the states showed an in
crease from week to week during last
month in private construction work.
The New England states, for instance,
in the first week of February reported
contracts awarded to the amount of
100000; in the second week, $3.50, 900 !;
third week, $66O,OOO, and fourth week,
100000. OF this construction, % per
cent was of an industrial character, 80
per cent business and 46 per cent resi-

tons of it never will be productive.
Another category of agricultural
damage is that caused by lombard
ments or the cutting up of the land
for defensive purposes. Under this
heading comes 100000 acres of agrl-
cultural land which cannot be restored
to cultivation for three years.
Equally serious is the loss of live
stock. Even after the signing of the
armistice the Germans drove all of the
cattle into Belgium and then when
the fighting was over left them to
starve by the thousands.
