YOUR BACK YARD.

Do you remember or have you heard
ft-Dr. Conwell's lecture on Acres OF
DiamondsT'
Conwell tells this story:
A man Of South Africa wandered for
several years. prospecting over veldt
and kopje, searching for diamond
mine. Discouraged by his failures. he
settled down in house.
One day while digging in his back
yard he came across a find which on
development resulted in the discovery
Of rich mine of diamonds.
And the moral?
Plainly enough, what Conwell makes
1.-THE need of conserving and using
all your resources, however small. ''In
your back yard," says the lecturer,
"are acres Of diamonds"
While the prospect of finding literal
diamonds in your back yard is rather
farfetched, nevertheless there is wealth
to be had.
Take look at II.
Have you made Of your back yard a
dumping place for refuse, cluttered ii
with offensive rubbish? IL SO clean ii

he is amazed at the neglect of ouI
premises. In Japan every inch of the
little holdings, however small. is cult
waited. The front yards blossom as
the rose. and the back yards grow hall
the living of the household.
Do you waste your back yard?

comes it has big possibilities of garden

forth an astonishing quantity Of table

One Of the River and Harbor Sights Of

One Of the sights of the harbor

boat is to the people on the shore.

Those are the replies to two recent

report was merely founded upon the

great art to learn TO shut Off power

greasy, sallow look and make it APP
pear charming and youthful, you can
use nothing better than a lotion made
by dissolving ounces spurmax in II
pint witch hazel cor hot water). then
adding teaspoonfuls gIycerine. This
lotion will clear and whiten your skin,
make it smooth and velvety, and give
you a beautiful complexion. Ii costs
very little, will not show on the skin
like powder does. and. when you wear
a veil, viii not rub off so easily. This
is really wonderful complexion beau

DEAD SEA WATER.
Its Buoyanoy Not So Great as to Make
Swimming Impossible.

swimming Impossible.
In Jerusalem ridiculous stories are
told of the impossibility Of bathing
in the Dead sea. and it is even said
by the superstitious that no animals
or vegetation can exist near it. The
truth is that if Palestine belonged to
any other power but Turkey the north
ern shore of the Dead sea would prob
ably become popular bathing station
and health resort, as the chloride of
magnesia which enters so largely into
the composition of the water would
be found to have medicinal and cura-
tive properties. says the Zion Herald.
So far as swimming is concerned
the excessive buoyancy Of the water
of the Dead sea simply renders it diff
ficult for the swimmer to make much
Roadway. but if care be taken not to
allow the salt water to get into the
eyes a swim is both feasible and en-,
joyable.
The Dead sea contains % per cent
of solid matter, and is. bulk for bulk.
heavier than the human body. In a
