THE GREAT BUILDING MATERIAL

Wood will always be the great build
ing material for the homes of the masses
in this nation. 1t is by far the cheapest
material used, and if necessary the aver
age man can build his own wooden house.
Wood has made it possible for persons of
most moderate means to own their own
homes in this country.
Lumber is TODAY one of the leading
commodities which have practically re-
turned to pre-war cost, and if taxes and
transportation charges caused bv the
war were deducted, humber in many in
stances would be selling at less than its
pre-war figure.

A BAD PROPOSITION

A movement has been started to raise
the interest rate paid by Postal Savings
Banks from 2 to per cent.
The Postal Savings Bank Department
OF the Post Office was originally started
primarily to furnish an absolutely safe
place for deposits of money held by for
eigners and people of small means who
either did not understand or feared for
the safety of their funds in private
banks.
1t was not intended that the Postal
Savings Bank should compete with or in
lure the American banking system. 1t
has served its purpose and has drawn
from hiding millions of dollars which
would otherwise have been kept in stock
ings tin cans, etc. The proposal to in
crease interest rates to 8 per cent would
however, disrupt our whole banking svs-
tenn, and especially the smaller country
banks.

compete in this manner as there is no
way in which private industry can meet
government competition, except at in
creased cost of operation which must
eventually be born by the public. If pri-
waite banks have to pay more interest on
savings accounts, they will have to
charge more on the money they loan.
The Postal Savings Bank in no way
takes the place Of the private bank from
the standpoint of business accommoda-
tion, but by raising its interest rates on
savings it can force the private bank to
meet these rates at the expense of tie
public.

Long Drive by Braid.

James Braid, English golfer,
recently drove the ball 1856
yards.
This comes near being a rec
ord.
Abe Mitchell, another Briton

In driving, frequently knocks
the pill from $50 to 800 yards.
This is nearly twice as much
mileage as Babe Ruth got out
Of his record homer drive Of 500
feet, or about 1876 yards.
But Babe Ruth drove the ball
$50 feet on the fly. If the
smash had taken place on the
golf course where the ball could
have rolled, 1t might have
bounded as far as Braid's long

PATIENT MUST COOPERATE

Did you ever try to lift yourself by
your bootstraps?
A whole lot Of the same result is OBJ
tanned in the meetings and programs to
discuss unemployment"
Behind the question of unemployment
are certain fundamental problems which
must be settled in order that conditions
may result which prevents unemploy-
ment, or rather remove the causes Of I'M
employment. Political remedies merely
stave off the reckoning, unless those
remedies are aimed to help create condi-
tons which will bring about ultimate en-
Dloyment through natural channels, ra-
Their than by the artificial stimulants of
bond issues and the like to create temper
airy employment for more or less unnec-
essary undertakings, which leave an I'LL
timately larger burden on the country
and the taxpayers.
Commenting on the situation, the Wall
Street Journal says: There is only a
relatively slow cure for unemployment.
This is increased production, out of the
surplus of which, and out of that alone
new employment can be found
"All the money in the savings banks
will not provide for the unemployed If
it were withdrawn and given to them to-
day, its withdrawal would cause more
unemployment in other directions There
is no sudden cure. There is none whatev-
er which does not involve cooperation by
the patient. He must change his habits.
He must quit lying to himself about his
standard of living. He must quit lying to
his employer about his capabilities. He
must quit lying about the work he turns
out. Our public departments must quit
encouraging him to lie The Department
of Labor must revise its cost of living
figures to date. To tell the unemployed
they can be helped by splitting the days
work between two applicants for employ
ment is cruel jest on consumer and pro-
Queer alike. The only result would be to
decrease production 40 per cent"
The consuming world is again demand
ing full service for its dollar and the
sooner this fact is recognized the soon

Doctors Declare
War on Cocktails
London Physicians Assert
Craze Running Stomachs
OF Nation.

London, Aug. 13.--An anti-cocktail
campaign has been launched by Lon
don medical men at the very moment
when sweltering heat is driving
thousands to their favorite bars ior
"clover clubs" "bronxes" and all
other brands of cocktails guaranteed
to brace and cool.
Mems stomachs are being ruined
by the cocktail habit, say the
medicos, and what is worse the ladies
are becoming addicts. The news
papers have taken up the discussion
pro and con and have discovered
that many a London drinker gets
away with six or eight cocktails ev-
cry evening before dinner. 1t was
not learned how many they get away
with after dinner -.
The doctors say that this is all
wrong-that it creates an abnormal
appetite and that the digestive organs
cannot take care of both the booze
and the extra supply of food. An
American physician agrees with them
in a letter to the Times, but another
American, writing from the bar OF
a London club, remarks that hun
dreds of thousands of Americans
have been licking up cocktails all
their lives apparently with no bad

Wv for women and men who
want to do small jobs of interior
painting, vanishing or refnishing
of furniture. floors, bath rooms,
walls, and bric-a-brac.
It's free service. You simply
tell us what you have to refnish,
how finished now and what effect
you want to get.
We tell you how to do tin
detail. What kind of material to
use. What kind of brush. What
method. Where to buy.
You can work transformations
in home things that will surprise
you. Old bedsteads, tables, chairs,
woodwork, floors, bath tubs, etc.
are old really, only on the surface.
Paint, varnish or enamel them,
and-they're neao!
We make a special line of paints,
varnishes, etc., for just this kind
of home work-Fuller's "Home

to use.
They dry perfectly, spread easily
and smoothly, and give every de-
