HOUSES FOR OMAHA PEOPLE Past Merely an Indication of Future Building Activity. COMING SEASON TO BE BUSY ONE Ilollders Fipect that Even More Money V. Ill Do Int Into New Homes Than Last Year showed. As a city that Is growing with a steady, nValthy, substantial growth, Omaha is now known throughout the T'nlted States. In (act the recent pcnlo and the present de pression which rules in many part of the country has been an HI wind which has blown nothing but good to Omaha. The conservative position of builders, business men and banks alike here and the sound common s?nse which hns been exercised by these Interests In the days when others Were flying r.leh on the precarious wave of prosperity bore fruit where,- tanlc came and Omaha found itself the .Spot In the United States practically unaffected ex cept aa It reflected the embarrassed con dition of those banks In the east which had borrowed a considerable portion of Its surplus capital. The building j-ecord of Omaha haa kept up since the panic sowed Its seed of diutrut has advertised the city throughout the country and mada Its position stronger and more secure than ever and given Increased confidence to those who are putting their money Into property here and helping to build up the city and participating In the benefits of Its substantial prosperity. So far this year the reports of the build ing Inspector show that the building being done and being prepared for Is not only equal to but greater than for the corres ponding period last year. Indications are that Omaha home builders will Invest mor than the 2,2S8,525 which was put Into sub stantial and beautiful Omaha homes last year. If you are waiting for Mr. Edison to Vyr feet his arrangements for building Mom fortablo home with all appurtenances thereto and a home which will never need painting and will last forever, all for the small and Insignificant sum of 11,000 you may not get the home you are planning for several years to come. Tills la what Omaha builders think about the plan of mjulded houitea anyway. "The moulds for one of those houses would cost at least S-'O.OCO," said one man. "A mould could not be used to erect more than ttoo houses each month. Therefore, It Is hard to foe tiow the profit for the builder la going to txt realised. A for of say ten men at the least would be needed to put up the moulds, mix the cement and noi.r It in on each house. These men at 93 a day would amount to a day for labor alone and they could not possibly put up the houte In leas than tan days. There would be a bill for 9300 for labor alone which Is on a very conserva tive, estimate. By the time the cost of tile cement and finishing materials Is figured, it amounts to more than 91.OU0 already. And where are you going to get the money for In terest on yvur $20,000 Investment la the steel mould Besides who would want to live In an ugly thing like one of those houses when It la finished?" An Omaha contractor haa completed a house on which ha placed a shingle roof. It is to all appearances just an ordinary shingle roof. But It Is expected to show what's In It within the next fifty year or bo. The shingles were dipped In the cresote solution recently experimented with by the United States foresting service. This solu tion la said to preserve the shingle by keep ing water out of the fiber of the wood. The experts who searched for and discov ered the solution say the shingle will last longer than three ordinary shingles. The cost of the cresote solution Is smaJl. The winter's cold haa not stopped work on' a line of five handsome flats which are being built on the northeast corner of Twentieth and Cass streets.. The excava tion and foundation work have been done during the last three weeks. The flats will set back from the street far enough to 'allow room for a cozy little grass plot in front, which Is a distinctive and decid edly pretty feature of Omaha flats and apartment houses. As a still closer competitor to clay brlok cement Is entering the field now In the making of brick. It is claimed that the cement brick Is superior to the brick made of clay for several reasons. In making the brick of clay considerable time and labor is required. It has to be burned for days. The brick made of cement, on the other hand, is met el y moulded pnl then set aside to dry. Within twenty-four hours It is ready for use. An Important factor In connection with this brick Is thf.t It can be made out of slag, ctone chirpings or even cinders. Apparently there is no rea son why it shouldn't be made out of Iron filings, tin cans, old bottles or broke i class with the help of the sovereign cement. TIMELY REAL ESTATE TALI Money to Loan on Town Lots and Farms is Plenty. SECURITY PREFERRED TO STOCKS MODEST MEALS FOR; HEALTH A Doetor SasKeals met far the Avrrnge Maw In All IV a lit a at Life. A doctor who thinks ho knows and cheerfully admits It, puts forth the prop osition that "the object of feeding is to give the body materials out of which to build and maintain Itself," and offers this choice of materials for "throe sensible meals:" A breakfast of fruit, cereals with cream, brown bread and ' butter, and a glaas of mUk will fulfill any requirement. Or a morning meal of two raw eggs, beaten up with milk, together with fruit and cna or two slices of hrywn bread aurh a meal Is equally nutrUlous and palatable. For dinner, fresh meat, roast or boiled; baked potato; plain salmi dress-d with olive oil ar.d a few drops of lemon Juice; perhaps another cooked vegetable, such as turnips, spinach, or parsnips; fruit, and brown bread will prove in every seiise a wholesome and acceptable meal. The third meal, if such be taken, may be similar to breakfast, or It may consist of merely fresh fruit and a glass of milk, with perhaps a cracker or a bit of bread. These meals are not all vegetarian, or all raw. or all fruit; but they are simple, they are moderate, and. If taken in proper quantity, they will solve the question of diet, so far as It la ever likely to be solved by erring man. Conditions Locally Are Moat F.nceur agiag In Thla Reitard and Busy Season ta Anticipated by Dealers, Along with the statement of the banks that loans In Omaha exceed, by almost n,000,000, tre figure of the December state ment, comes the news that the east has returned to the west to place loans, and prefers the securities on real estate whlcb are offered to the stocks and bonds offered In the east. An Idea of the desirability of western loans may be gath ered from the statement Issued by the state of New Hampshire, which shows thut fifty-two savings banks of that state have $7,668,6C1 loaned in the west. A large part of it Is in Nebraska and west ern Iowa. This Is 1,000.000 more than the holdings of New Hampshire savings banks last year and $2,000,000 more than the amount held in 1902. The maximum of eaatern loans on western real estate was probably reached In 1896. At that time New Hampshire alone had almost $10,000,000. The amount has never been as large since, though the savings banks of the state have signified their willing ness to place larger amounts. One Vermont Insurance company has made $10,000,01)0 of Nebraska farm loans and has a large amount on Omaha city property. While the national banks of Omaha have lltureased their loans during the last ninety Uays, when "hard' times" has been the cry, the savings banks and loan ami, sav ings associations, have been making every t effort to secure money to muUe more Joans and have been supplying money to keep the present building operations going. One of the largest building assuciatlons hud $212,000 loans contracted when the national banks put the lid on. This as sociation has rut the amount down in sixty days to less than $50,000 and will be In a position to furnish ready money within a few weeks. The company has made a few loans in advance, agreeing to supply money during the early uprlng. It is said by the officials of the association that by May 1, enough money will be paid into meet every requirement and building operations and home builders will not be delayed by the inability of tile loan and savings association to supply ready money. One of the firms which has had Increased Inquiry for city property is the Shinier & Chase company. Beside the score of seii ous""nqulrles which the company has had the last week, the firm haa sold the home of John R. Rylen at Thirty-third street and Grand avenue to Oeorge Marshall for $2,0i The property consists of a six-room house and two and a halt acres of ground. The eight-room modern home at Eighteenth and Sprague streets, which was built last year by Bhlmer Chase, was sold to H. Ximui sen, cashier of the lirug Brewing company, for $3,500, while Charles H. Poore of Hay den Bros., sold the five-room houBe at 1608 Maple street to Harry Dunn of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company for $1,800. E. T. Heyden of Hastings & Heyden and William T. Norrls have returned from a two weeks' trip to southern Texas and Gulf of Mexico points, where they have been looking over truck garden, fruit and farm lands. A. I Reed, president of the Byron Reed company, will leave during the coming week for a trip through the south, which will Include Cuba. Mr. and Mrs. Reed started for their trip several weeks ago, when scarlet fever broke out In their home and postponed their visit to the south. "Consider a potato," said A. L. Reed. "See how It grows. It tolls not, neither does It make any noise about the city of Omahtl yet I know a Nebraska potato, ex hibited In Australia, which caused an east ern capitalist to buy 640 acres of Nebraska land. That Is why I believe that an ex hibit of Nebraska products, shown In the east or In foreign countries, would bring the citizens we desire to the west. They do not know the possibilities of the west ern soli or they would be out here with ua I favor the form of advertising which will carry the exhibits back to the people who are always out of work. Factories are shutting down there, while the factoriei of tho west cannot get the help they need in normal times. Carry the message to the east so they will believe It back there and we will increase our population." 8. Il Miller has sold the residence at 014 Miami street to F. W. Hopper, who will j occupy It aa a home and Charles Crary i of tho American Radiator company, has sold his home at Thirtieth avenue and Poppleton street to Ethel Mick, the con sideration being $3,400. One of the largest farm sales of the year was made by John McCague when he sold, during the week, the 312 acres In Sarpy county, known as the Jacob Rblner farm, to an Iowa farmer for $25,000 cash. The farm Is near "Walnut Lodge," the farm of Guy C. Barton, but the purchaser de clined to allow his name to become public, paying the price In silence and taking possession of the farm at once. , A Pleasant Sarprla follows the first dose of Dr. King's New Life Pills, the puinless regulators that strengthen you.

Be careful how you grasp a red-hot op portunity. A pretty girl always Inspires more envy than a cllver one. Sometimes an exploded theory doesn't even wake up the theorist. The philanthropy of some men consists of a willingness to pass the hat. It is not until a man becomes wedded to his art that he feels he can neglect It. Many a man puts his property in his wife's name, including his happiness. When a girl goes bark on a fellow It Is generally because he is miss-understood. The trouble with some people is that they believe twice as much as they hear. New CREIGBTOiYS GREAT OUTLOOK Father Mageveny Says Omaha is an Intellectual Gateway. NEW PRESIDENT BEACHES CITY Tells of . Favarable Impression of Omaha and Predicts New Depart- " mcnte for University to Meet Demanda of the West. Rev. Eugene A. Mageveny, who succeeds Rev. M. P. Dowllng as president of Crelgh ton university, arrived In Omaha Saturday morning from Detroit, where he has been professor of philosophy, and when seen at the university gave his opinion of his new field of labor and the outlook for the great university. "As Omaha Is a gateway' and great center commercially, so it will be Intellectually, If It Is not already," said Father Mageveny. "I have been here before and I know much of "the Institution by a personal acquaint ance with members of the faculty. "I do not know of a city In which we have a college or university which had the advantages offered by Omaha. In the first place I understand the city is back of ;he .Crelghton university. This is of great Importance and Is a great help to any col lege. Then the university has been con ducted on broad lints, and has friends In every denomination as well as among the business and professional men of tne city. The faculties of the medical and dental colleges are not tied In any way. They are broad men and have made many friends because of their breadth of view. Miking Friends for Omaha. "The city is making life-long friends of the students who are going out from ftie college and In years to come they will be a great source of stn-ngth to Omaha and the west. All over the west they will take their places, some of them as members of faculties in other colleges, Just as the pro fessors fn our universities are men trained at Yale and Harvard and the eastern col leges. The intellectual centers are moving westward. Just as tho commercial centers are and Omaha is here In a position which cannot be equalled. "The outlook Is for continued growth. Who can say what this university will be in fifty years, as it expands to meet the nted of an aggressive and bounding city. An engineering department may be added, and the outlook Is for a strong agricultural college and other departments, which will not be inferior to any similar departments in the country. When I first knew Crelgh ton It consisted only of the college course. Since then it has expanded and added the law, medical, dental and college of phar macy. Support of the City. "Compared with other schools which we have In the country Crelghton stands high. While the city of Omaha contributes some 3o0 students to the enrollment of the uni versity, Detroit contributes but 200 In a city of 400.OU0. This shows the friendly feeling which exists In the city for Crelgh ton, and I am glad to come here to take up the work In a city which Is so loyal to the university." Father Mageveny was trained la t)U Louis, completing his studies in a Jesuit school. He has been identified with many lines of church and school work, but has spent most of his time In the class rooms of Marquette university at Milwaukee and Detroit college at Detroit. HELPFUL TIPS FOR EDITORS Correspondence Course Designed to Lend Variety to Their Declines." It Is generally agreed by the writing craft that the current magazine methods of de clining manuscripts aro tlrosomely anti quated. Editorial rejection slips are no toriously humdrum, and even In written correspondence the autocrats of the month lies show nothing like the versatility and bonhommle of their contributors. Why, it occurs to us to ask, should not these dull persons freshen up a bit and attack the re jection problem In a way that will at least attempt to Justify their own literary preten sions? Why, for Instance, should they not undertake to decline In kind, limericks with limericks, sonnets with sonnets, etc.? For their consideration, we venture to append a number of forms that may easily be printed In that nicely deceptive typewrit ten fashion thut looks so convincingly per sonal. Models merely, gentlemen ; adorn them as you will: I. Sir (or Madam), your versified trick la biilliaut and witty and quick, And yet we are under (With heart torn aaunder) A bond to print no lim-cr-lck. II.

(The Mivsus likes to hear us have our fling At all the wlahy-washy, woful, weak And weary versi'i thut our suffrage seek) Oh, yes, we'll chortle of your work, and sing! Nevertheless, to our lmmenso regret, We find that at the moment we've on 'hand So many contributions of this kind That we can't use one single fresh sonnet; With sorrow you can scarcely understand. We send you back, then, yours "WUU thanks declined." III. Your bright triolet Has turned up dulyT'- 'Tls the editor's pet.
