"In ifiy opinion It will take at IcuMt five ywu-K to catch up and get back to normal."

Iti'llef Far off Kurthermose, the housing corpora tion head has tried to keep In close touch with the building situation in Strong Women By. Dm. Valentine Mott. Women and men too are just as strong and healthy as their blood. Vigor and health come with good blood. Without good red blood a woman has a weak heart and poor nerves. Iq the spring is the best time to take stock of one's condition. If the blood is thin and watery, face pale or pimply, if one is tired and listless, generally weak, a Spring Tonic should be taken. An old fashioned herbal remedy that was used by nearly everybody M years ago is still safe and sane be cause it contains no alcohol or narcotic. It is made of roots and herbs and called Dr. Pierees Golden Medical Discovery. If druggists do not keep it in tablet form, send 00 cents for a vial to Dr. Pierce's Invalids Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y. every big town and city In (he counlry. Here is his verdict. "Only In Washington does there stem to bo even the beginning of relict from the tromend-oun pressure of liio Hhortugc of dwellings that grow up during the war period," ho said. "I n ChUaffo, New York and other big citica the shortage of dwellings seems Just as acuto as ever. "The cost of labor and building ma terial IioUIh little promts of going lm'u.

To gel the nation's housing situation back to normal we must build at a rate calculated to keep . abreast of I be normal Increase in de-' maud for dwellings plug an additional rato which will make up the shortage1 of i ($00,000 homes now existing. So' far as T can see now, wo are not build ing even at a rate fast enough to take ca re of the n at u ral lnc r flit to in d c hiand. "liy normal conditions I moan con ditions similar to those prevailing In1 pro-war days when in every big city I thero was a general exchange ofWen- ! ant a every spring. In some citfes it alw 'was the custom for landlords to j givo 0pm month's rent free to incoming, tenants. Such conditions Indicate a j nearly emial balance of supply and demand. This Is normal. It will be at least five ycais before this condition is restored, I think. . (hi- Hopeful Sign "There is one hopeful sign that nitildlng costs will be reduced even- j tually. Architects and contractors everywhere are working continually to devise new and short processes of j building. They also are experiment- j In with new materials. Thus many builders recently uttended - national j convention called to discuss the pro positi of building concrete houses J which are poured Into mould and ban be turned out much more quickly than the average brick or frame house j can 1m completed. "Another hopeful lgn is the com- biuation of representative citizens in many localities to building houses In cooperation, charging a fair rate for tho money advanced. Quantity pro duction of this kind makes for econ omy in construction."
