Builders Waiting V for Lower Price Are Decreasing c9 Contractor Says Cost of Ma terial, Freight and Labor Prevent an Early Drop. Now is the time to build if best prices for material are to be obtained in the opinion of A. C. Busk, con tractor. "Spring building promises to be good.” Busk said, "but there are a number of prospective builders who have expressed a determination to postpone btiilding until after a drop in the price of material and labor. “There is no hope of such a drop soon. Things can't be judged now on their former co^t. It wan possible to buy lumber at a fairly low figure, but that was before it cost so much for freight, when there was a greater supply of timber and when it cost much less to produce and handle the material. "Just now It costs more for freight than it did for the lumber in. those days. Labor is higher, and should be. All things taken into consider ation It Is evident that prices are not going to be less soon. "X have known people to refuse te build until after a reduction in the price of material and later wish they had not waited.” Busk declared that builders are rapidly becoming more willing to build, regardless of price, than at any time for several years.

Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize Its value.when properly prepared and taken into the human system for the ssme cleansing purpose. Charcoal is n remedy that the more you take of it the better; It is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the systerp. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, and after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gases which soiled In the stomach and bowels; It dis infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form er another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest quality Willow charcoal powdered to extreme fineness, then compressed in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being sweetened to be smooth and palatable. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty nt it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. Many physicians advise Stuart’s Ab sorbent Lozenges to patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, hiouth and throat. They are also believed to greatly benefit the liver. These loa enges cost but thirty cents a box at drug stores. For a free trial send your nams and address to F. A. Stuart Co., 10 Stuart Bldg., Marshall, Mich. You get more and better charcoal In Stuart’s Absorbent loz enges than in any of the ordinnry charcoal tablets. / Women Make Good Realtors, Say Four Omahans / MABEL G. CLANCY AUCS F- NEI/jtoH SARAH tf'KORTOl?"11 LYDIA £ buck. Gone are the days of “real estate men.” Now it is a "real estate dealer,” because women are in the business. Omaha boasts four of them: Sarah O. Norton, Mabel Q. Clany, Lydia E. Buck and Alice F. Nelson. All of the women are active, and long ago the men learned to respect their selling ability. Some of the men say it is not "selling ability.” But be that as it may, the women sell. Sarah Norton has centered her ac tivities on farm lands. The first at tention she paid to real estate was in 1910, when she homesteaded a place in Colorado. She was teaching school at that time and sold real estate dur ing the vacation period. Later she began to devote all her time to the projects. She now owns, and man ages, a big ranch in Holt county and three farms in Iowa. "it's no different for a woman to succeed .in the real estate business titan a man,” she declares. "There is only one thing to do and that is to work hard.” She believes farm land the best In vestment available today. Prices, she declared, have reached the bottom and success Is within *reach of any In vestor. Mable Clancy, another of the women dealers, has not entered busi ness for herself, but Is a member of the sales staff of tho C. P. Armstrong company. She declares that the op portunities of women In the business are unlimited. ‘‘Women should be In the real es tate business,” she declared. ‘‘It Is the women who should have the most to say about a home and a woman Is bound to know what Is necessary In a home that Is for sale." Lydia E. Buck. the third of the women realtors, is the "company" pf V. E. Buck & Co., She Is the wife of D. E. Buck. Mrs. Buck looks on the real estate business as a liberal education. Alice F. Nelson left her place In the county clerk's office to enter the real estate firm of Gallagher 4 ^f>'!son In 1908 and has been selling every kind of real estate since. She has specialized in homes, hut often turns to business properties and farm lands. • "People are coming more and more to want to save steps in a home,” she said. "No man can ever imagine what those stops are and would never eliminate them. That Is where the woman comes in In this business.” All of the women declare they will stay with their work and will "give the men a good race.” Ford Band Will Play at Omaha Automobile Show John Monnicli, Ford dealer of Fremont, Neb., plal.s to brine his own bund to the Omaha automobile show.

Express and Mail Orders Filled Promptly Coal Dealers Sav Strike in April Doubtful Operators Are Not Expecting Trouble in Signing New Con tract—Industry ^ ould Suffer Most. Omaha coal dealers are not suffer ing qualms just over the possibilities of a strike on April 1. when the con tracts between mine owners and workers will expire. The general opinion seems to be that there will be no strike. In any event, the dealers are not borrowing trouble. The mine owners recently held a conference in Florida and considered the probability of the men demanding a five-year contract on the present scale. The owners will propose a re newal of the contract for another year and feel confident the men will accept. No Strike K\ported. Randall K". Brown of the Coal Hill Coal company, who has watched the situation closely, offered this state ment yesterday: "The general opinion of the oper ators is that there will be no strike. The price of coal at the union mines Is too high because their operation is based on a week’s wage for about half a week's work. The nonunion mines in Kentucky, West Virginia and' other states are operating on gull time and are able to undersell ■the union mines. The result is that the nonunion mines are getting a steadily increasing percentage of the busines. It is my belief that the union miners realize they are being paid the highest possible scale.” Brown added that Omaha dealers nr* not loading themselves with un usual quaintities of coal, because they do not believe they will have to face a strike situation. “No One Knows.” Ray Goddard of the Goddard Fuel company is of the opinion that no one knows Just what may occur in the coal situation on April 1. “There are as many opinions about the coal situation as there are about Teapot Dorqe,” Goddard said. “It is impossible to tell in February what may happen in April. A strike in Apr;I would have little effect on the domestic supply of coal, hut would affect the industrial supply.” Goddard indicated that coal men are not manifesting any anxiety over the coal situation that may develop on April l. 400 Little Hands Fly Girls Lse Patterns; ire Guests of Stars 1 at Doll Dressmaking The hands of 200 little girls were busy yesterday at the Burgess-Nash auditorium making new dresses for their dolls.

Stornuzing Method .* Renews Cylinders The cylinders may truthfully »><* said to be the most important pait of a motor ear, for in them is pro duced the driving force that propels the car. No matter how carefully Other service work Is done, if the cylinders remain In their worn or scored con dition or if they are improperly re paired, oil will leak by and the com pression will escape leaving the motor weak, wasteful and unsatisfactory. The Stormlzing method introduced by the Storm Manufacturing com pany of Minneapolis Is the latest de velopment In this field and marks an epoch in the manufacture of cylin der renewing equipment. It brings to the service shop latest approved factory methods and pre cision. It gives the shop a precise method of gi eaten possible efficiency for handling any and all classes ol cylinder renewin gat minimum laloi cost. Balloon Tires Do Not Cause "‘Shimmying" Due to Vibrating Action of Front Wheels at Various Speeds—Easily Remedied. In spite of the fact that balloon tires accentuate •'shimmying" of front wheels, these tires do not cause the shimmy, according to J. E. Hale, engineer of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company. "It is merely a vibrating action which takes place in the front wheel* at various speeds, and is due either to loose joints or worn bushings in the steering linkage or an unbalanced condition of the wheels. "The former takes place at any speed 10 miles an hour and can be removed by overhauling and adjust ing the steering linkage. Shimmying above 30 miles an hour may be remedied by putting the wheels in proper balance and alignment.” ai»\ ekti'Ement How to Have Soft, Fluffy Hair | The soft, fluffy hair we all admire is nine times out of ten the result of a woman's learning the right way to shampoo it.
