Mrs. GEO. A. Foos, III S. 9th St,
Goshen, Ind.
The experience of Motherhood is a
trying one to most women and marks
distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not
one woman in hundred is prepared or
understands how to properly care for
herself. Every woman at this time
should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, a most valuable
tonic and invigorator of the female
organism.
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound makes women norma |,
healthy and strong and this good old
fashioned root and herb remedy con-
tains no narcotics or harmful drugs.

During the last few months the
press of many cities has carried an
occasional item to the effect that
Great Britain was turning from her
traditional policy of building with
brick because of great shortage
of material, and intended to use
wood as a substitute. According to
a recent consular report the story
has no foundation. The people Of
the old country have no intention
of abandoning their habit of build
ing with brick for permanenCy.
The report goes on to say that
English builders will undoubtsdly
take some of the American ideas
as to the plan of the small house.
modify them to suit their own
needs, and build in the main with
brick, because even with the pres
ent advantage in first cost brick
houses are cheaper in the long run
1t is interesting to compare the
main points of difference between
the American and English plan of
the small home. The rooms in the
English home are designed for
privacy, the living room and dining
room being closed off with ordinary
three foot doors, and are always
entered from a hall or corridor. In
the American plan the hallway has

Suggests Marine Abodes
To Solve Home Shortage

A writer in the San Francisco

why not convert them into float

For instance, bachelor hotels

$4,000 Fund Object
Of California Committee

With the hearty cooperation Of

the chamber of commerce has ap-
pointed a committee which will can
vass among the public-spirited cid-
zens for a nucleus fund Of s5o,ooo
to be used for the construction Of
suitable dwellings.
The plan was originated at a
meeting of commercial secretaries
held at Santa Monica, when fifty
chamber of commerce secretaries
agreed to devise some practicable
means Of solving the housing short
age which is keenly felt in all
Southern California cities. The plan
adopted locally contemplates the
borrowing of money at per cent
and loaning IL to a local building
association. The money will be en-
ployed for this purpose for ten
years, together with such added
units as may be gathered.

property together with increases in
assessments and Federal taxes on
real estate income all have been of
the discouraging nature. They have
not worked, for instead of improv-
ing the conditions they have made
them worse. New York alone fur
nishes a strong example of what
these laws have done to aEgravate
the housing situation. So bad has
it made it there, that the New York
Legislature now is sitting in special
session to see what can be done.
There is only one answer. Encour-
agement Give the realtors and
builders something to work for in
stead of mountain-high obstacles to
surmount. and they will respond
with a vim that will be surprising
In other communities, this is fully
realized. Chambers of commerce are

Doubled Pre-War
Realty Values to
Stay, Forecast

TT will be a long. long time
before we can buy houses in
Baltimore for less than double
the pre-war value" declares the
Real Estate Board Bulletin,
which continues:
The Bulletin takes pride in
the fact that it's observations re-
garding both rents and the SELL
ing price of real estate have been
substantially correct during the
past two years, and has no hesi-
fancy risking it's past reputa-
ton by predicting that it will
be a long, long time before we
can buy homes in Baltimore for
less than double the pre-war
value.
1T is possible, but not prob
able, that a few of the smaller
builders may be forced to the
wall and have to sell out at a
loss, and IL may be possible that
a few old houses will be sold at
a somewhat lower figure, but il
all the builders in Baltimore
were to give away ell. the houses
they have ii would have little
effect on the general conditions,
for the very simple reason that
no more houses would be erected
until there was a market for
them at fair prices based on the
cost of production.
There are thousands OF fam
lilies in Baltimore cooped up in
all kinds of fats and apartments
who want to buy homes. and as
fast as. they realize that il is
quite impossible for prices TO
come down to any extent they
will come out and buy, as they
are now doing every day, after
waiting from one to two years in
their unsatisfactory quarters for
what has not happened and what
seems to be quite impossible"
The Washington herald., 1920-09-26

California alone the chambers of
commerce have pledged themselves
to go out and find money to lend
for home building.
If the necessary encourag cement is
forthcoming in the way of repeal of
restrictive laws. and builders are
enabled to collect a fair interest re-
turn on their investments, building
will be resumed, the supply will
catch up with the demand and then
matters will begin to equalize them
selves. The sooner the people face
the fact that there is a shortage and
that it cannot be relieved by a con-
stant arraigninG of the realtors and
builders, the sooner the ways will
be CREASED for easy launching of a
home building movement that will
mean proper living conditions at Il
reasonable price for everyone.
The Washington herald., 1920-09-26

BaiIding Costs Going Up
Local realtors are awake to the
situation. They are trying to plan
ahead to handle the situation. But
with building at a minimum and the
cry for lower rents and lower costs
they are facing a big problem.
Prices of building material are
continually on the bound. There are
small reductions noted here and
there. but these are merely sporadic,
Labor costs are going up, for there
is hardly a day that some branch OF
urionism does not ask for an in
crease. So, in the face of these con-
ii luuus rises in cos, 1t is hard lci
anyone to see now rhece s. going &c
