Why Colds are Dangerous.

You are often told to beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia first take cold.
The longer a cold hangs on, the great
er the danger, especially from the
germ diseases, as cold prepares the
system for the reception and develop
ment Of the germs of consumption,
scarlet fever and whooping
cough. The quicker you get rid of
your cold, the less the danger of con-
tracing one of these diseases. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has great
reputation as q cure for colds and can
be depended upon. 1t is pleasant to
take.

PLAN TO HASTEN
BUILDING OF HOMES
Builders Congress in Chicago
Orders Survey to Harmonize
All Factors.

Chicago-With $5O,O0O,00O worth Of
building tied up in Chicago, $10O,00O,-

$500, 100000 throughout America, the
National Building and Construction
Congress here set in motion machinery
for scientific survey of the entire in
dustry, it's problems and possible
remedies.
A steering committee of six was
named to start things moving through
local groups, and the Congress fixed
June l, 1921, as a good time for
another Congress, when E. M. Craig,
secretary Of the Building Construc-
tion Employers Association of Chi
cago, demanded immediate action to
bring relief to the nation.
"Why delay eight months?" said Mr..
Craig; "June is a long way off. Mean
while the people need more houses.
Let's start something. Let US stin-
ulate building before spring building
starts. We know what's the matter.
Factors have been thoroughly dis
cussed.
"I've been telling the contractors
that now Is the time to build. Prices
are lower than a year ago, and right
now, with things slowing down, the
builder can get the best Of men, the
pick of the workers
"The National Board of Awards Is
now functioning in jurisdictional dis
putes, which means fewer chances Of
structures being tied up by such dis
putes. We ought to tell the public this
and start something that will restore
public confidence. We ought to have a
meeting in January instead Of June to
stimulate building in the spring"
The Steering Committee decided to
follow Craig's suggestion. Mean
while local committees are to be FORM
ed in each community to make full
study Of conditions. On the steering
body are II. c. Knowles of the en-
gineers. Thomas H. Breeze Of the
building trades, Wharton Clay of the
material men, Louis K Comstock Of
the sub-contractors, Robert D. Kohn
Of the architects, and General r. G.
Marshall of the general contractors.
The object as set forth in, resolutions
adopted by the meeting is:
''To bring together in cooperation
every element contributing toward or
concerned in the building industry in
a movement intended to promote the
efficiency and improve the quality and
extent of the service rendered for the
public good by that industry, and to
develop an understanding Of interde-
pendence within the building industry
so that each part Of the industry will
work with every other part for the
benefit of the nation"
