 There has come into prominence 3 prescription used by a leading Ohio physician that is certainly one of the most timely events in recent years. 1t is called Reolo, and it hits these nerve less, blOodless cases exactly.
 In one of the prominent drug stores it has completely superseded all other preparations variously called tonies. The clerks see it's marvellous benefits daily. Men and women who have come in sick, unhappy, discouraged and de- feated, and again seen in a week or 9 month after using Reolo are not the same people either in appearance or action. They have. gained flesh and strength, real conscious strength; their blood is rich and red; they walk and talk with animation, there is a tinge of color in the cheeks; a snap to the eye that shows the vital processes have been enhanced to their full natural activity. Ask any clerk at James c. Mara's. or any leading drug store about Reolo, They win recommend it as the greatest reeonstructiye medicine that ever went over their counters.

PRICES OF LUMBER
DROP TO Tsp. c.;
AID TO BUILDING
Large Shipments Over Water
Routes Declared Chief Factor
in Declines.

According to authorities, whole
sale prices of most lumber in New
York to-day are from 80 to 10
per cent. lower than they were
on Sept. !, 1920.
1t is generally admitted that with
the price of lumber so low the
building boom now on should be
aided. One of the reasons for the
drop has been the difference in
rail and water routes forcing all
rough shipments by water. The
result IS "A reduction in rail rates,
effective in the fall.
Some of the declines in prices
based on delivery in New York
by rail are: Yellow pine flat grain
