Is reported by Henry T. Teague, field agent for the United States department of labor, who has just completed a six-weeks' tour from coast to coast. "There will be a great deal of public building vdurlng the next six months," says Teague. "The public improvements program for 1919, I am convinced, will equal that of any live years In the country's history, and the road-building activities from the Atlantic to the Pacific, once they are tinder way, will be tremendous. "The scope of improvement work Is 'much larger In the West than in the Bast. / "There Is much criticism In the West ,Af tho fs!!ur^ to with Its own building operations. In many localities federal buildings, for which sites, plans and appropriations were made before the war, are held up because the original appropriation is1 not hsgh enough to cover the Increased" cost of construction and additional money has not been granted. New Orleans, says Mr. Teague. shows more bufrding activities than any city he visited. The city Is spending $14,000,000 on the municipal docks, employing more than 10,000 men. South Bend, Ind., is developing a model industrial residence section, giving homes to 12,000 new employees of the Studebaker corporation, which Is to build a new $8,000,000 factory. . Here's Building Program. Other important building projects reported by Mr. Teague are: Newark, N. J.--$3,000,000 department store by J. L. Bamberger. Kansas City, Mo.--$2,000,000 interurban station. Sioux City, la.--$2,000,000 grain" elevators for the Terminal Grain corporation. Milwaukee--$1,000,000 apartment hotel, $750,000 hotel and $250,000 department store.

" • The department of labor's division of public works and construction development reports that approximately $100,000,000 In private building conttn& ctsSrrf* reported to it in February. The lota) of the January ooo* tracts was only, half that sum. Nearly all the states showed an Increase from week to week during last month in private construction work. The New England states, for instance, in the first week of February reported contracts awarded to the amount of $330,000; In the second week, $550,000; third week, $660,000, and fourth week, $700,000. Of this construction, 22 per cent was of an Industrial character. 32 per cent business and 46^per cent residential. New England's showing, however, Is far behind that of the Western states, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Kansas show a fivefold increase In February over January. In this District the figures are; First week in February, $15,000.- 000; second weetr, $9,000,000; third week, $46,000,000; fourth week, $30,- 000,000. | * Prlfate Work Per Cent, In the peddle West 91% p*?r cenH&f the construction contracts for February were for private construction, 6 per cent ittste flm) mtltricipnl work and one-half per.cent government construe- i tion. New York and New Jersey also show important increases In February, and In those two states residential building made up only 10 per cent of the total. Ohio. West Vhfjtnta and Pennsylvaniaalso show a slight Improvement over the January^ figures, and 38 per cent of the total was for residences. Minnesota and the Dakotas reported contracts of about $1,000,000, as against $T>00,000 for January. These facts show^that the hesitancy about starting confmietion projects because of the high cost of materials is apparently being overcome all over the' countiy.'

Made In the form This Is clearly explained by the fact Gf tablets--they pre good to eat--Just that an acid-stomach cannot properly digest food. Instead of healthy, normal digestion, the excess acid causes the food to sour and ferment. Then when this mass of sour, fermented _ food, charged with excess acid, passes ^*1 Into the intestines, it becomes the breeding place for all kinds of germs and toxic poi&uus, which in turn are absorbed into the blood and in this way distributed throughout the entire body. And that is exactly why It Is that so matiy thousands of people eat and eat and keep on eating and yet are literally starving in the midst of like a bit of candy.

Gen. i William L. Sibert, director of the chemical warfare service of the United States army, ever decide to write his autobiography he can, like the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt, his warm personal friend, tell what "my five sons and I" did tg lick the kaiser, for | every one of the. male members of the Sibert family is in the service, and every one has an excellent record of achievement behind him. An interesting question around the Army and Navy club and in army circles generally just now Is: "What do you suppose will be the next assignment of General Sibert?" for this distinguished son of Alabama is recognized. as one of the big men of America's fighting forces, and it la generally conceded that he will be picked for some important placer even If the chemical warfare service la not perpetdhted. General Sibert's work as the builder of the Gatun data in Panama Is known all over the world. It is also generally known In this country that he carried the first expeditionary forces to France, where he and his engineers paved the way for Pershing. Owing to the necessity for secrecy in hts latest command, however, his work as director of the chemical warfare service Is not so familiar to the American people.

France. by executive order. Its function was to manufacture gas, to load It Into shells, devise additional appliances for delivering It, and to provide defensive appliances for protection of the troops against similar devices on the part of the enemy. That this function was fulfilled Is shown In the fact that on November 11, the day the armistice was signed, standard plants were In operation with a production capacity greater than that of France, England and Italy combined, and we were turning out ten times more gas than Germany. We kept our allies supplied with toxic gases, and while very little exclusively American equipment got to France, every American soldier at the front was wearing a mask that was wholly American in make. While America, under the dlrectton of General Sibert, produced ten tons of gas to Germany's one, the surface of production bad hardly been touched when the armistice was signed, and had the war lasted until the spring of 1919 Germany would have been flooded with toxic gases such Inb the world never dreamed of before. Only fl^e men in the world know what the composition of this gas Is, yet it Is said to be 70 times more powerful than mustard gas. So great was tbe secrecy In its manufacture that the \nen at the plants were carried to and from their meals under guard and kept under constant surveillance. Built Up Big Army. Within less than six months, in addition to the building nnd equipping of the big manufacturing plants, the location of training camps, proving grounds, etc., General Sibert had built up an army of about 2,000 officers and 20.000 enlisted men, nearly every man in the organization being above tbe average In Intelligence.

The reports showed In general large stocks on hand by manufacturers and dealers and a lessened demand, with prices decreasing In many cases. A typical example of the reports from Industrial districts was afforded by the tabulation of replies to questions from business concerns in the Philadelphia federal reserve district. These questions and classified replies^ were as follows: Are the quantities of materials, supplies, and goods as shown by your last Inventory larger than usual? Yes, 114; no, 129.

The youth had been on an errand and was on horseback. The horse fell and crushed the ooy's leg. A foot of snow was on the ground and the wind was bitter cold. Knowing that he would freeze te death If he remained, tlie^oy dragged himself along wltlf his hands and arms and pushed himself with the leg that was not broken.
