TIIE SUXDAT OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, 3IARCII 1G, 1919. 19 T i mm Ministers Are Interested Home Building. in SCRIPTURAL TEXT QUOTED Onn-Your-IIoni" Campaign Com' mandi Interest of Property Own er Residing In Alberta. Tr. Clarence True Wilson, formerly prominent clergyman of tbia city and now the general secretary of the board of temperance of the Methodist Epis copal church with headquarters In Washington. D. C. writes to the secre tary of the "own-your-bome" campaign that he will be glad to prepare an article or a sermon on the "own-your-horne" movement. "A year or so ago." writes Dr. Wll ' son, when this movement started. I prepared a sermon on a striking scrip, ture text. 'If any man provide not for his own. especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith, and Is worse than an InfldeL' "I have that discourse and want to revise it slightly and bring It up to date and make an additional point or two. and believe It will serve your pur pose pntuae of the oddity of putting it In sermon form on a scriptural text." Saggratlea 'Well Received. The local "own-your-horae" campaign Is planning to ask the preachers of the city to set aside one Sunday on which to deliver sermons on the importance of home ownership The suggestion has been most favorably received by the preachers, and It Is considered that no more practical message could be de livered from Portland pulpits at the present time In the interests of good citizenship than to urge everybody to become owners of their own homes. It has been suggested that one of the essential weaknesses with Russia was the fact that only B per cent of her population were owners of homes or lands. Bolshevism dies hard where the DeoDle have no home responsibili ties or any attachment to the soil. It Is the intention to counteract radical ism and the dangerous revolutionary tendencies of the times by creatini loyalty to the fireside and to the high rst interests of family life. In this the pastors of Portland will render a most important service. Caaadlaa Premises Aid. Mrs. L. P. Livesley, connected with the department of the Interior at Ed monton. Alberta, has become interested in the local "own-your-horn" cam paign and claims that she Is diligently reading the news of the campaign, as she Is interested in. Portland from the standpoint of a property owner. When the slogan was first suggested. "This homestte needs a home." Mrs. Livesley Immediately thought of a large number of lota which she owns in the Peninsula district and declared herself quite willing to place Individual signs on each one of these lots and would offer them at very reasonable prices. "I have been reading about your campaign for home building." aaya Mrs. Uvesley. "which Interests me, as I am the owner of quite a few small. Inex pensive lots on the Peninsula near the manufacturing plants, which I would be glad to dispose of. as I have held them for a number of years and paid taxes on them. I would be very glad to list them with you. and am perfectly willing to go to the expense of havins; the sug Kested sign. This homestte needs a home, placed on pome of these lots." For Constipation! Physic Purge or Laxative? Everyone sow and then becomes constipated, and tafl Bona are chronically in that.. condition. The perplexing question arises what to use. Porgathrea and cathartics axe drastic and tonally came a reaction. Saline waters are rapid in action bat do no mora than empty the bowels. Just as certain an effect, and certainly a mach pi resent one, can be obtained by the use of a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It acts gently, without griping. It la an especially ideal medicine for children; women, old people and others who find purges too powerful.

In Only 36 1 0 Houses Constructed Five Years. With Annual De mand of Upward of 2000. Tortland should build some 6000 houses this year if it is to catch up with the shortage that resulted from the stoppage of construction during the war and keep pace with the natural Browth of the city. This estimate m considered a fair one by the t'nlted States Department of Labor, which has been making a nation-wide survey of building condi tions, through the public works and construction development division of its information and education service. Spe cial studies have been made or certain cities selected so typical, there being no attempt to choose those that might furnish startling facts. In the year 1911, homes wre built for 3214 families in Portland. The num ber In 1913 was 2760. and In IS 13. 1817. The average for these three years was 3509. Since the population during the period since 1910 w estimated to have increased steadily by over ten thousand a year, it is evident that about :oUU families have been added each year, which would make It necessary, rn order to accommodate them properly. to build this number of dwellings. The fact is. however, that In 1911 Only 1439 houses were built; In 1915. 90S: in 191$. 473: In 1917. 334. and In ISIS. 668. The total for the five years was only JS10, as compared -vith a normal and proper averaae of 2500 or even 2000. This would make a theoretical defi cit which makes the statement of the president of the Portland realty board. Paul C. Murphy, appear con servative when he says that there Is a shortage Of at least 4000 or C00O homes In the city. The result Is said to be. not that people ere homeless, but that many are living In old. wornout. unsuitable quarters. Taking minimum figures and supposing that 4000 homes were buiit to make up the deficiency and 3000 to house the natural Increase riurlnr the present year, the result mould bo the erection of 00 homes This would certainly go a long way toward solving the question of unenv nlovment during thk critical year in industrial life. publio market, as well as a consider able amount of garden peas and other vegetables. They expect to market their berries at outside markets until Raymond builds a cannery or fruit ulce factory, or until they can erect their own cannery to can their ber ries on the farm. They will plant other five acre tracts of berried as fast as they can bring the land into shape. COUNCIL; CREST HOME IS SOLD Seven-Room Honse on Hillsdale Ave nue Acquired for $4500.

The fire Thursday in the basement of the Corbett building was directly due to a collapse of a large corrugated furnace tube, located In the center of the boiler, which produced a crack in the boiler plates. The small tubes in the boiler were pushed through the plates, allowing steam to escape and resulting In a terrific explosion which caused the death of three men. Such la the report submitted by H. E. Pluramer, chief building Inspector, after a thorough investigation. The collapse of the tube, he reported, might have been due either to low water or to a misplaced oil flame. Following careful Investigation, local officials of the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection Sc. Insurance company will submit a report oh the causes of the Corbett building fire. Proposed amend ments to the building code will not he submitted to the council by City Com missioner Barbur. who has charge of the department of publio works, until this report haa been made. As a direct result of the disastrous fire Thursday every boiler In the city will be inspected by employes of the city, according to City Commissioner Barbur. In addition, it Is probable that s permanent boiler inspector will be employed by tbe city to examine all the boilers of the city frequently.

There were possibilities for romance and adventure in the tim ber of Oregon which eastern authors bad wholly overlooked. In their zeal to portray Washington and New York as the centers of all things. Mrs. E. T. Allen of Portland, whose pen name is known to the magazine world as Maryland Allen, and whose forte Is unusually interesting plots delineated with the deft touch of an actual genius for story-telling, is the author of- "The Wolf of Kahlolus." a serial novel now appearing in Muneey's magazine, and featured as the current first offering of that periodical. Not only are the opening chapters of the tale rising to a flood-tide of an ticipatory Interest, but the character delineations are remarkably well done. So much so. In fact, that Portland people, aa well aa others of the north west, should experience little difficulty in recognizing at least one or two of them from their counterparts In real life. The story Is essentially of the mys tery variety, and whoever hears "The Wolf of Kahlotus" howl once or twic for there is a creature to correspond to the title will not lay down the yarn until the to-be-continued' line Is reached. Many of the scenes are fa miliar. There Is the old federal build ing, the Portland hotel, and the fa miliar foreata of Oregon and the north west. Mrs. Allen has written many short stories, and not a few novelettes, until her pen name Is thoroughly familiar to magaaine readers. "The Wolf of Kah lotus" betrays no tendency toward a lessening of the keen Interest that awakens with each story that Mary land Allen tells so well.

"I have actually gained twenty-seven pounds by taking Tanlac, and while I am now past seventy-nine years of age I declare I don't feci that old by forty years," was the remarkable statement made by Mrs. Mary K. Burr of Brad ford. Illinois, R. P. D. No. 1, recently. Mrs. Burr relates some very trying experiences of civil war days, one of which was the loss of her first hus band, who was killed in the great con flict. At the close of the war she moved to Illinois with her parents in an "old covered wagon." and remained a widow until November of last year, when she was happily married again, becoming the wife of a prosperous farmer of Bradford. "Those civil war days certainly were dark ones," said Mrs. Burr, "and if 1 should live to be twice as old as I am now I could never forget the terrible suffering and sorrow so many had to go through. I feel sure the nervou strain and hardships that came to me was what caused my health to break down later on. But while I have seen the dark and bitter side of life, I have also enjoyed the greater part of It. had always been blessed with fairly good health until about thirty years ago, when all of a sadden I just seemed to collapse almost completely. This was about the hardest trial of my life as I had always been in the habit of getting out doors, raising chickens, gathering frudt and doing lots Of out door work. "I commenced first to be bothered with my stomach. Every little bit ate would sour and form a sort of gas which caused me the most awful suf fering. This gas would press against my heart and I would be so short of breath for hours that I could not walk If I even, tried to walk I would get so dizzy, weak and trembly that I would lose my balance. My nefves got in such a bad shape that I could hardly sleep and would just roll and toss all night long. 1 lust couldnt stand i bit of noise. Just the chickens cack ling would almost drive me distracted. I had no appetite and what little I did eat' caused me bo much pain that would almost die. I kept going down until I was almost a comiplete wreck. I had lost so much ih weight that none of my clothes fitted irae and I was so weak that I would hardly walk across the room, let alone do my work. I tried most everything, but noth ing helped me and 1 Had given up nearly all hope of ever being well again. While I was on the lookout trying to find something to help me a friend of mine who had taken xaniac with wonderful results advised me to try it I Started on Tanlac, and the way it helped me right from the start was almost like a miracle. I have taken twelve bottles now and have not only been relieved entirely of all my sufferings, but I am enjoying bet. ter health than I have In thirty years. My meals taste as good to me as they did years ago. I can eat just any thing without the slightest trouble afterwards and- I simply sleep like a child. I can now easily do all my work. Including my washing, and my strength for a woman -of my age is just remarkable. I am perfectly well and enjoy life as well as I ever did. Just lots of people have asked me what I have been taking to make me look so well, and it's a pleasure for 'me to tell them Tanlac. I know as well as I know I am here that I owe my health and happiness to this grand medicine, and I will always praise it."
