LONDON, Jan. 17.--It is estimated
that London is short OF 150. 900 houses
and premier Lloyd George, speaking in

total house shortage for the whole OF
the United Kingdom at roughly L.

Housing is department Of the
ministry of health and, by legislative
act, local authorities are required to
submit housing schemes. Thousands
OF schemes have been submitted, but
progress has been very slow.

has been the economic factor. Houses
which cost three or four times as
much to build as before the war, cam
not obviously let or sell at pre-war
figures.
Nevertheless, according to govern
ment statistics some 10000 new
houses were started in 1920 and the
number contracted for has risen dur

 Workers go to the drug store and get Gude's Pepto- -Mangan when they feel weak and run down. They take 1t in either the liquid or the tablet form. That makes the blood rich and red and drives out the poisons. Life giving oxygen, carried by the little red cells, renews the strength and builds up the entire system.
