other property owners on Beach street

I own less than one-tenth, and
should say a great deal less than that
proportion of the water front on

If the city should at any time ques-
ton the title to this water front, the
city would be in the same position as
an individual who took valuable con-
sideration from a person in return for
a Quit-claim deed to a piece of real
estate, and then later appeared before
the court claiming that the quit-claim
which he himself had given did not
convey any title whatever and was
worthless, for in the majority Of cases
where 1 have purchased water front
the title goes back to a quit-claim
deed from the city of Daytona.
j The city and the board of trade
have set an example OF making use OF
the water front for purposes of bene

Make Your Back Yard Profitable.

Today, in the United States, thou
sands of people are making money
from the back yards, asserts a writer
In Opportunity.
Some are making their entire liveli-
hoods firm few hundred feet of
ground, while in other instances in
comes are doubled and even trebled
by the judicious farming of small
patches of ground as side line or
odd-time job. Investigation has
proved, In fact, that 1t Is not only pos
sible, but profitable, to conduct a
small-lot farm and In hundreds of In.
stances people In all sections of the
country are earning incomes direct
from the soil of their home acre.
The reason SO many people who
have the opportunity to grow vegeta-
bles and other crops for their own use,
as well as for SALE do not do SO Is due,
no doubt, to the fact that they fail to
understand the real profits that can be
derived from a small plot of ground.
AS a matter of fact more vegetables
can be grown In the city or suburban
back yard than the average family can
eat, with good quantity to spare.

Tho French "Brulot.u

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD HUMOR

don't mind 1t so much. He comes in
contact with the Office force only, and
II he Is a good bookkeeper we can get
along with his sourness; but of course
1t Is important to have men of good
humor at all points where they come
in contact with the public. don't
mean joky, foolish men, but men of
natural good humor and the friendly
spirit and courtesy that commonly
goes with 1t.
Il regard it as of high Importance
to have such men at the counters,
where they deal with people coming
In, regulars and strangers. People In
stinctively Judge of an blishment
by the first person they meet in It,;
If he is man of courtesy they feel
like coming again; If he is cool and
Indifferent to them they feel like stay
Ing away.
I'VE aim to have good humored men
for shipping clerks Such man can
expedite work lot; his spirit is con-
tagious. puts everybody in good hui
NOR; every truckman likes him, cot
tons to him, and will move faster and
do more for him than he would for a
sour, grumpy man. And It's 30 all

where they come in contact with peo-

THE RUINS OF MEXICO.

The prehistoric ruins of the ancient
peoples Of Mexico are of great num-
Der. Palenque, in the southern state of
Tabasco, is of vast scope, and students
suggest that it was the site of an an
cient capital city of likely a million
inhabitants. The savannahs sloping
eastward from this bear evidence of
promitive farming for generations.
The University of Berlin recently sent
one of her professors to this region,
and President Diaz gave permission
for digging which engaged seventy
men some six months. They first re-
moved mahogany trees Of large size,
and then after working some months
reached building which they entirely
exposed, covering an area of approx
mately 100x300 feet. The walls are
in fine state of preservation, the
frescoes, buried for centuries, remark
ably clear. A bath of concrete mate
rial occupies about two-third of the en-
closure. At one enda stream runs thru
the arch made to guard its waters.
The building entrances bear inscrip-
tons not yet deciphered. Surrounding
the bath and Its corridor is double
wall rooted over by a concrete arch
Our guide, as we lighted our candles
to explore this dark chamber, cautioned
us not to reach out to feel the walls
We held our lights toward the face as
we made the trip and saw centipedes
scamper along. Elevated stone slabs
at one portion indicated the offering
up of captives taken in war as sacri-
fees to the gods.
To visit This norton of tho ruins
federal guide is required by the Mex
lean authorities, and our guide said
the records showed only seventy white
people had ever penetrated the forests
to look upon these interesting remains
of once mighty people. Among this
seventy there was but one white wom-
an, and she was the wife of the Ber-
lin archaeologist who had directed the
excavation.

General Trade Conditions.

steady, more orderly and yet very
large volume Of business, and the vir-
tual arrival Of the between-seasons Pc
riod sees trade as we'll as industry
moving along at a rate far above the
seasonal normal. Neither the reduced
domestic buying of steel nor the weak
ness in southern pig iron, old mate
rails and such metals as copper, spell
ter, lead, tin and anthony loom large
in an otherwise strong situation.
Optimism, though tempered by high
prices, is not one whit less marked
than 1t was at the height of the boom,
the plain fact being that the country
Is sold up, and therefore can afford to
sit back for breathing spell. Indus
try is working at an unwonted pace,
diminished new buying of domestic
steel Is offsetby foreign demand, the

Potash Shortage Affects Matches.

The match makers are trying to
find substitute in the way of potash
which has been sent from the great
deposits of Germany and other for
eign fields. No relief is in sight as a
result of the shutting off of these
sources of supply, and with prices go
ing higher the manufacturers have
turned their attention to obtaining
chemical salts from the heavy brine
Of the Great Salt Lake and from kelp
on the Pacific Coast which also con-
tains a phosphorescent quality. says

Pearl Button Industry.

The Pacific Northwest might easily
become an important factor in the
pearl button trade, if it would give
attention to the propagation of the
pearl mussel in it's fresh waters, ac-
the University of Washington. Seat
tie, in particular, because of it's fresh
water lakes, is admirably adapted to
the development of the industry and
could become the pearl button port of
the world.
"All the factors that have produced,
in the Mississippi valley, the enor-
nous quantity of mussels whose shells
are suitable for button making are
found here" he said. 1.-THE pearl mus
sci of North America is fresh water
creature and could be propagated
ideally in the lakes and rivers of this
section"
Professor Kincaid has suggested to
various eastern button manufacturers
the transplanting of the Mississippi
mussel, and they have considered it
feasible. The present fields are being
rapidly exhausted, due to extensive
dredging. On the other hand, the
muSSel udLlV6 W ILLS COdSI Is uuuI
for use because of it's thin shell.
Transplanting seems necessary.
"The manufacturers realize that
something must be done Immediate
ly," Professor. Kincaid said, land it is
probable that before long they will
use our lakes and streams for their
supplies. The economic Importance
of such step would be considerable"
The federal government now has a
station where experiments connected
with the raising of mussels fit for the
button industry are being conducted.
The scientists engaged in the work
have had much difficulty because Of
the peculiar life history of the mol
lusk. The embryo must live as a
parasite in order to develop. Fish,
principally the trout, are found to be
the hosts of the embryo mussel, which
attaches itself to the gills, dropping
off to lead an independent life upon
reaching maturity

AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH!

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and

of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience as DR.. Pierce of the
