Charles Frohman and Al Hayman-

The stimulating effect Of a

during the past several weeks.
The city's real estate men coll

The house was unique in ap-
pearance. The entrance was on
the side through a portico. A
wide enclosed porch extended
across one end affording oppor-
tunity for both inside and out
side fireplaces.
The contractors and material
men worked at cost and many
donations were received for the
home. Four hundred dollars was
spent in advertising and many
thousand people f1ocked to the

Real Estate Editor, Washington Times:
Some time ago my landlord brought suit

for homes is going to continue, and it
will be at least FIVE years before the
supply of homes equals the demand.
THE answer is. further increase the
salaries of our municipal and Federal
employees to meet the present-day cost
OF living.
AT this point it is opportune to re
mind our trust companies. savings
banks, building associations, and
those private individuals engaged in
the business of loaning money on
homes to be more generous in making
loans, otherwise even with a large
amount of ome-building going on it
will be next to impossible for the
greater part of our Government en-
pIoyes to buy homes, because the cash
payment that will have TO be eXacted
will be so large they will not be able
to pay it.
From knowledge which 7 have ac-
quired recently from the heads Of the
building industries engaged in the
sale and manufacture of building ma
terials of all kinds in the District OF
Columbia. ] am able to state that the
margin of profits that they now figure
to make on the prices given is con-
siderably less than during the war

at is a matter of public record that
wages since the arTnistice was signed,
have been increased many millions OF
dollars throughout the country and
large part OF this increase was made
bv our United States Government and
on the advice of our United states
Government"
'sTbe time to build is now, not after
tho SsuIsburv resolution becomes in
operative, because with possession,
the price of house already built will
equal the cost Of the new house, and
as most people want new houses, the
demand will be so great that the
builders will go ahead and build on
a very large scale because in Wash

where the population has increased
enormously, we must have more

BOSS HAS PLAN TO
SPEED Up BUILDING

Harry X. Boss, president OF Boss &
Phelps, is keenIy interested in the re
construction problems affecting the
building industry. Queried concern
ing the causes that are delaying the
resumption Of building in the District
snd asked for a solution of the diff
culties, Mr.. Boss said:
Go to it: prices will adjust them
selves with the enormous volume Of
business that will be produced, to-
gether with the competition and
rivalry Of the manufacturer Of raw
and finished products. the jobber, re-
taller, and contractor.
The cost of labor and materials
taken together ere higher today than
they were in January. 1919, when per-
mits for the building in the District
or Columbia aggregated 5000, 1000. In
February, 100000, while last month
they had increased to SSOO,OO0. The
prices of material Of every description
nave been, are today, and will in the
Iuture be regulated by supply and
oemano. As a usual thing. volume
reduces cost, and in my opinion il it
doesn't produce reduction in the
future ii will be the greatest medium
IN the stabilization Of the present day
seems TO be the main obstacle in the
way Of progress.
Mistake to Lower Wages.
During the war our country re-
ouired both materials and labor, and
the prices paid at that time are partly
responsible for present-day prices
Labor Is by far the more important
item, as IL enters into the cost Of
everything made. The greatest mis-
take this city or country can make
today is to attempt to reduce wages.
AdVtng costs in Washington and
throughout the country have in
creased about 80 per cent since Feb
/ ruary, 1913, according to statistics
furnished by the Department of Labor.

Home Health Club

AUTOTFrCRAPY:- Somewhat over year ago told you just a little about the wonderful results that were being secured by the doctors that were not htde-boundi and so narrow that they could sec nothing good or true fin. therapeutics unless 1t origi hated in or was taught by the partic- ular school from which they received their diploma.
 Following the publication of my ar ticle I had reports from various parts of the UniteT States and Canada and some of the doctors were very vigor- ous in their condemnation. One doc tor, In an eastern state at that, told a member of the club that such method of treatment would kill the patient every time. but the club mem Der studied the matter carefully from all standpoints and concluded that if pus taken from an infected cows ud- der could be safely used to inoculate a human being against smallpox, there woutd be but little if any risk In the use of a serum made from his own eputum.
 He was suffering with a chronic bronchitis and chronic constipation and had suffered with several attacks of appendicitis. He wrote to the Home Health Club about his condi- tion and I advised him to give the autotherapy a. thorough trial. He did, and 1t only required three treatments to complete the cure of all of his ail- ments.
 I have watched the results of many cases of autotherapy during the past year and have only found one person that did not appear to have received any benefit The most pronounced improvement over any other form of treatment that I have ever observed has been in cases of epilepsy, and the next best results were in chronic throat and ear troubles and constipa- ton.
 Very aggravated cases of pimples, acne vulgaria. have been completely cured in a few weeks.
 The treatment of a still greater number of ailments is successful with autohemic methods; that is, by mak- ing a serum or highly alternating and sterihzing the patients own blood and administering it to him in small quan- titles. both by intravenous injection and buccal doses. It has been dem onstrated that even so small a. quap- tity as half a teaspoonful of the pa tient's own blood, reduced by the homeopathic method of attenuation to one part in ten thousand parts of ster- ilized water will have such dynamic power as to change an indoIent, lazy, shift1ess vagabond into an energetic. active and successful business man or mechanic.
 In other cases---and if 1t had ac- complished nothing moro 1t would be a splendid achievement---it has cured the most. aggravated cases of morn ing sickness or persistent nausea in pregnant women and carried them through with remarkable success and with vast benefit to the baby.
