10 Good Reasons
Why We Should Make Millions of Dollars
Stockholders

have patented processes for utilizing millions of
tons of sugar cane waste and rice straw now re-
garded refuse by tn. sugar mill and the rice
planter.
we can get thi. raw n Ierial at very low cost.
our processes are so inexpensive that taking raw
material labor and overhead together the estimated
cost is only $3.50 per ton of raw material handled.
the products we make should be worth at least
$3.50 per ton. a net profit of $23 per ton of
raw material handled. the very lowest estimates.
FIRST mill will ultimately be able to handle 300
tons per day. There are 300 working days in the
year. Figure it out for yourself what our net
profit should be on each mill at an estimated profit
of $23 per ton And so mills could be established
and kept busy.

Here 1t Ii, TabuIated

The changes in the value of the dollar
are due to the conditions of foreign ex-
change. The balance OF trade is now all
In favor Of the United States, owing to
European imports into this country being
cut down, and the European countries
have to pay the United States in gold or
float loans here. Hence the value Of the
dollar abroad has increased.
Different with NeutraIs.
The decline of the dollar in the money
of neutrals is another story. The Grip
pling of the trade of the belligerents by
the war has resulted in a greater demand
for exchange through neutral countries,
especially by the central powers. Securi-
ties which were owned in Germany, Tor
example, have been sent to the United
States to ,be sold on our exchanges Pay
ments for these are made usually through
Spain and Sweden.
The demand for exchange on the neu-
trail exceeds the supply, with the result
that the money of the neutral as meas
ured in terms of the American dollar ad-
vances.

Against Expenditure for Erection

position to the expenditure by Longport,
small resort as population and area go, or
more than s3so,000 for the erection OF a
huge sea wall of re-enforced concrete TO
protect its beach front, target for de-
structive attack by coast storms. loomed up
today when Louis u. Champion, an at
torney, filed n protest on behalf Of the Will
liam Disston estate, Of Philadelphia, which
has large holdings on the Longport front.
The protest Is based upon the heavy cost
of the proposed scheme Of beach defense,
the Philadelphians maintaining that a sea
wall with jetties adequate for Longports
needs can be built for a sum approximatlng
so per cent Of the proposed expenditure. The
Longport plan is based upon defensive
system adopted for the Pacific coast at San
Francisco.
II provides for n series of gigantic steps
with a curving overhang, designed first TO
break up the batterlng force Of the waves
and then to throw them back upon incoming
rollers. II is estimated that two years VIII
be required to complete the structure.
The contract awarded on Saturday
last to sutton & Corson, of ocean city. for
$383. 900, but under the law execution of
the award must be deferred for two weeks
In the meantime the project is open to at
tack by any property owner. IT Is asserted
that Longport's last great storm. which de-
molished the boardwalk and wrecked several
cottages, affected confidence in the resort to
the extent of at least s1,000,00o.

poorly. I was so bad off, that l
thought I would die. My back was
very weak and I couldn't bend over
without being in agony. The kidney
secretions were scanty and contained
sediment My breath came in gasps
and I often felt as though I was
smothering. My whole body bloated
and often lay awake half the night,
gasping for breath. I was so dis
couraged that thought death would
be relief. Nothing helped me and
