INCREASED SHORTAGE OF
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY
Decrease Throughout U. S. and the
Causes Therefor Discussed
by S. w. Straus.

| Increasing shortage of residential
property in all parts of the United
| States. and causes contributing to a
continuance of existing aggravated
| conditions are subjects of comment in
| q statement by S. w. Straus of S. w.
| Straus & Co. Even with new build
| ing projects for the first quarter of
| the year showing a substantial in
| crease over the first quarter of 1919
and an agere gate of approximately a
billion dollars, the situation remains
complicated by material shortages,
| la Dor disturbances, poor weather con-
ditions and other disturbing factors.
Substance Of Statement.
The statement says:
| 1T is apparent that the lack of ac-
icommodations for residential purposes
throughout the nation is growing
more acute Total building operations
| for March approXimated $3S5.00O,0oO.
tof which a comparatively small per
| centage represented projects which
| will mean more homes for the peo-
| pie.
! AN encouraging feature in the sit
ration is the fact that many large
industrial concerns are beginning to
realize that the provision OF homes
| for their employees is as essential as
adequate plant facilities. Nothing
! has a more stabilizing effect on any
man than the ownership of his own
home 1t is one of the most practical
and beneficial manifestations of thrift.
and, therefore. the development of
home building projects by large en-
ployers Of labor will go a long way
/ toward alleviating social unrest and
4 increasing the mass production OF the
| nation's Industries.
| Gain shown In March.
! While new building projects in
| March showed substantial gain owe:
1.-THE previous months of the year, and
drought the grand total for the first
quarter of 1920 to approximately one
!bi1lion dollars, labor disturbances, un-
| favorable weather and acute short
lage Of building materials were re-
tarding elements.
| TT must be remembered that while
the statistics compiled at this time
show a continued gain in building
investments from month to month,
these figures do not reflect the actual
| increase in building facilities as costs
| have been constantly increasing.
| Taking into consideration the growth
Of many of our larger cities and the
expansion Of business enterprise 1t
seems obvious that the building dencit
! Is not decreasing materially. This is
particularly true in the case of home
Il accommodations.
Building Costs Advancing.
| 'Bulldlng costs continue 10 advance
and there Is no element in the situa-
Il ton that gives indication of imme-
date change in these tendencies
What is needed is broad under

dustry that all must meet ON the COM
j mon ground of increased production.
i This should be possible, MS 1t repre-

Lakeside Church
 Building Debt of
 $8,O0O Wiped Out

A church debt of S8,000, the re. mainer of the indebtedness contract ed when the new Lakeside church was built several years ago, was erased when S7,000 was raised at the morning service Sunday, with the as surance that the remaining SI,00O will be subscribed by members not at the service yesterday. The sums guaranteed Sunday ranged from s1O to Sl5OO, the latter being pledged by D. B. Niven. There were several $500 pledges and many more S250 pledges.
 Subscriptions began after short sermon by Rev. H. B. Trimble. pastor of the church, who described several needs of the church, stating that none of these could be realized un- less the debt was paid off. Judge W. B. Sorrells was called to the front and after tetlling the congregation that they had to pay the debt off now or quit talking about it, he started selling" them. Within little more than 30 minutes about S7.O0O was raised, and with the assurance that the remainder from absent mem bers, the debt was declared erased. and dedicatory service featuring a sermon, by Bishop Muzon, will be held shortly.

MANY CASES OF
 RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid Exposure and Eat
 Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of salts occa sionally to keep down uric acid.
 Rheumatism is caused by poison ous toxin, called uric acid, which is generated in the bowels and absorb cd into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine, The pores of the skin are also means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin ports are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumu- lating and circulating thru the sys- tenn, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness sore ness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put table spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morn ing for week. This is said to elim- mate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus rid ding the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a nleasant effervescent Whitewater drink, which oyercomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well

MAY OPEN BANK.

At a meeting Saturday of the
depositors of the Grangeville
Savings & Trust company, a plan
was developed ard is now receiv-
ing attention which contemplat-
es the early opening of the insti-
tuition. The plan provides for the
depositors agreeing to permit
their monies to remain on time
deposit for a stated period, pend
ing the time that the bank may
liquidate some of its assets.
Some of the depositors signed
such an agreement and effort
will be made to carry the plan
to success. State Bank Com
missioner Fralick was present at
the conference of the depositors
but later made no comment on
his opinion as to the success OF

MIST BRING OWN CHAIR.

When the lawmakers, OF the
state of Idaho for 1921 meet IN
Boise on January 8, 1921, they
will enter one of the most mag
nificent state capitols in the
country, completed in time for
the coming session at cost OF
approximately S2,000,O00. With
a capitol building costing this
magnificent sum the state OF
Idaho spared no effort or money
to provide for the comfort of its
legislators, but nevertheless the
comforts of Senator Seth Jones
of Idaho county will be sadly
neglected, according to the Boise
Statesman if he does not take
with him his own special chair.
Think of it a $4,000, 900 capitol
building but still Senator Jones
must provide his own chair. The
reason why, the Statesman ex-
plains as follows:
"Seth Jones, Republican senat.
or from Idaho county, is coming
to the senate from the house
but he will have to bring his
chair with him as he always has
to have a special chair. Senator
Jones weighs between 300 ant
400 pounds and in looking ovel
the space allotted to each senat
or on the floor of the upper
house, it is evident that thu
architect forgot about Senator
Jones.
