BUILDING STUFFS WAVER DOWN, BUT ALAS, UP AGAIN Building material prices have shown a slight tendency to slide, but Richmond dealers predict that decreases will be. only temporary and that in a short time It will resume its former niche. The kind of lumber known as "dimensions," namely, two by fours, two by sizes, two by eights, etc., have had a gradual decrease amounting to approximately five percent. Lath has Bhown the greatest drop of any of the material. The dealers attribute the fall to the embargo. Shingles are strong and higher, and phow no tendency to come down from the top of the scale. Flooring and siding remain about the same and show a steady sale. The better grades of lumbers and hardwoods are higher. Cement Steadily Going Up. Cement shows a continual advance iiv-price and is now selling at $3.40 net, or $4.40 a barrel including sacks. Dealers predict that cement will continue on the upward trend. Lime, plaster, cement, wall-board, etc., are Advancing in price. According to the lofal firms an increase in freight rates would advance all prices about five percent and will bring the Items that have come dowu back to their former price.

Limbs got stiff and back ached. Since taking Dreco, the rheumatism has been entirely relieved. "I could always tell when we were going to have a bad spell of weather by the way my rheumatic joints and muscles aoted." said Mr. E. M. Miller, who lives at 222 S. 12th St., Richmond, Ind. "I have- been a patient'sufferer from this dread disease for years. My muscles would bcome sore and drawn, especially the muscles in - my shoulders and, limbs; my joints seemed stiff and dry; you could hear them pop and crack at times and my back was so stiff I couldn't bend over to the floor nor turn around quick; looked like I was full of rheumatism all over. I took a lot of medicine for this trouble, which must have been hard on my stomach, for it got weak so that it did not digest my food, but lay heavy and formed sour gas that bloated me terribly. My bowels were constipated and my kidneys often had me up several times during the night. "Dreco sure has knocked the rheumatism out of me. My muscles no longer feel drawn or tight; my joints are free from pain and I stoop over, bend about and climb steps without any difficulty at all. I no longer have gas to bloat me; my bowels act regular and I haven't had to. get up one time with my kidneys since I started taking Dreco. This sure is one grand medicine." Dreco is composed of the juices and extracts of many different roots, herbs, barks and leaves, which act on the stomach, kidneys, liver and bowels and purify the blood. It relieves constipation, prevents gas forming in the stomach, increases the appetite, insures sound, refreshing sleep, banishes catarrh of the head and takes the pain out of rheumatic joints. Dreco is sold by all good druggists and is highly recommended in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's Seven Drug Stores. Advertisement.

' Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor. sMrs. Clara Sears Taylor, writer and publicist, is the second woman recently . pointed by Preside t Wilson to a re .joi-sible position. She has been made one of the thr members of the District of Columbia rent commission, a body to which congress pave considerable authority. The other appointment was that of Mrs. Helen Hamilton Gardiner as a member of the U. S. civil service commission. Mrs. Taylor was formerly director of the women's division of the committee on public information, was later with the department of labor and is now writing a 6tory of women's work in the war. MAKE TWO ARRESTS IN SECOND PROHIBITION RAID CLINTON, Ind., May 14 The second raid in two days, on the mining camps in this vicinity, made by the federal prohibition agents, resulted in the confiscation of four stills, more than 100 gallons of liquor, several hundred gallons of raisin mash and the arrest of two alleged violators of the liquor law. The raid was at Universal, eight miles northwest of Terre Haute. GOOD DIGESTION MEANS HEALTH Last time we talked about the appetite. Digestion is just as important. Even if the appetite is good you still lack strength and health if the digestive organs do "faulty work and do not properly take nutrition from your food to keep the organs and tissues of your body strengthened and built up. If you have poor digestion begin today to correct your trouble! Digestion is the process whereby nutrition is taken from food. Nutrition keeps the organs and tissues of the body strengthened and built up keeps you healthy. If you have good digestion, nutrition is properly taken from the food you eat and the organs and tissues ot your body remain in healthy condition. But if your digestion is faulty i you bloat and belch, have pains in stomach and chest, have coated tongue, sour stomach then nutrition is not being taken from your food properly and the organs and tissues of your body grow weaker as your system gradually becomes run down all over. One of the most-talked-of things about Vo la-Tonic, "Builder of Strength," is the manner in which it corrects faulty digestions. Vola-Tonic first brings a good appetite and then helps the stomach take strengthening nutrition from food to nourish the organs and tissues of the body. In addition. Vola-Tonic builds up the blood and soothes the nerves and as a result, full strength and health come to the weakened, run-down man or woman. In cases of a weakened, run-down system where extreme nervousness is present Vola-Tone Nerve Treatment should be taken along with Vola-Tonic or, if there is extreme constipation, Vola-Lax Candy Laxative should be taken with Vola-Tonic. Vola-Tonic, "Builder of Strength," Vola-Tone Nerve Treatment and VolaLax Candy Laxative are sold in Richmond by the five Quigley Drug Stores, and are sold by one leading druggist in cities and towns everywhere near here.

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE If there is any person who thinks a woman is incapable of making an audience laugh, we would suggest be see Miss Orma of DeLea and Orma an act which is now playing this last half on the new bil which opened yesterday at the Jiarray. When it comes to being tall and stately this lady overdoes it, and it is from her physical structure that 6he gains her! comedy, combined with an unusual sense of refined humor and a knowledge of knowing how to read lines. Theirs Is without a doubt the biggest laughing act of the season, and we have had some real comedians, but no comediennes like the elongated Miss Orma. Collins and Dunbar are a classy young team who make many changes of wardrobe, and offer a very neat dancing act. Rawson and Clare present their offering in a full stage setting representing a flower garden' in Maytime. and their characteriza tions of two youthful lovers is exceptionally well done,, The dialogue is bright and is interspersed with several 6inging numbers. Alice Joyce in the six-reel Vftagraph feature "Dollars and The Woman" is an unusually good picture. The Btory is strong and the picture well produced completing a bill which should play to capacity business during the last half.

One of the pathetic situations in '"The Family Honor," which picture will be shown at the Murrette theatre for the last time on Friday, is that in which a youth in his teens loses all of bis money in a gambling hell, secretly run by the mayor of the town. Not only does he lose his own money, but some entrusted to him by his employer. Fearing jail, he pleads with the dealer to return his money, but inThe Secret of Keeping The Skin Wrinkle-Free The great secret of keeping the face smooth, wrinkle-free and refined in texture is to use an effective astringent when the skin shows a tendency to become loose or the pores to enlarge. The best thing of the kind is a simple solution made by dissolving an ounce of pure powdered saxolite in ; a half-pint of witch-hazel. Used as a j wash lotion, this promptly, tightens I the skin, which of course smooths out the lines and wrinkles and rej duces too-large pores. I Large pores, by the way. encourage I blackheads, being so easily clogged with dirt and grime. The lotion referred to therefore serves as a black- ; head preventive. It is also valuable i in cases of sagging cheeks and chin, the astringent action of course serving to "draw In" the folds and oblit- ; crate the creases. Powdered saxolite 1 now being sold by druggists generally in this country, any woman can make this lotion herself. Advertisement. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday Ulioma?K7nce presents M-LEAN -y-k rV?

stead, the dealer has him thrown out of the place. Desperate, he decides on burglary, and goes to the home of the gambling sharp. He is discovered by a small boy, however, and though the youth tries to strike the child, his better self stays his hand. Finally the sister of the gambler comes into the room and the youth breaks down and tells her the whole story. She is horrified to learn of the occupation of her brother, but pays the money back to the boy and then rushes to the gambling den to try to persuade her brother to quit the place forever. There she is nearly caught in a raid, in a scene that is vibrant with action and filled with thrills. This is the story of a beautiful young southern girl who tries to make a man out of her blacksheep brother; her struggles with poverty until an unusual event occurs that changes the whole itsuation for her and makes lossible a wonderful love that she was struggling to stifle.
