Protection of the investing public
against danger of illegitimate real
estate propositions in southeast Flor
ida is offered by the Miami Realty

Miami Board states.
"In view of this fact whenever a
promotion proposition for the pur-
pose of selling lands in the southeast
section of Florida is launched in a
community where there is a member
board of the national association, we
will, upon the request of that board,
be pleased to make Investigations
concerning the proposition and report
our recommendations Immediately to
that board. Our knowledge and ex-
perience may, in some cases, be val
liable to the community in which the
inquiring board is established" states

BOOM IN HOME BUILDING
IN EVERY CITY SECTION
Local Housing Shortage at End of Last
Fiscal Period Greatly Reduced,
Recent Surrey Sho,cs.

A large number Of dwellings were
built in the District of Columbia last
Year. Every section of the city at
the end of the fiscal period of 192324
found itself in much better condi
tion with respect to the relief of the
local housing shortage, which treats
particularly with respect to the mod
crate priced home.
In the territory north of Rock
Creek Park between Piney Branch
pathway, Spring road. Rock Creek
Church road, Riggs road and the Dis
trict line by far the largest amount
of dwelling construction took place.
In this section of the city $40 permits
were granted, which is 2f.6 per cent
of the total number issued from the
office of the building inspector last
year for residential buildings

A survey by the local Board of
Trade shows that tho cheaper type of

lnGS with an estimated value of from
$1,000 to $4,000, 13 per cent from
$4,000 or over and only 81 per cent
under $4,000.
The area from the District line at

Says Piles Heal Up and
Disappear Forever
Seldom Fails to Give Absolute
Relief from All Pain and Suffer
ing. Guaranteed by Loynd's and
All Good Druggists.

Many sufferers from Piles or
HemOrrhoids have become despond-
ent because they have been led to
believe that their case was hopeless
and that there was nothing in the
world to help them.
TO these people we say, eco to
your druggist and get an original
box Of MOAVA SUPPOSITOR-
lES." One of these inserted Q into
the rectum according to directions
will be found to give immediate re-
lief. They reach the source of the
trouble and by their soothing, heal
ing, 2ntiseptic action first allay the
pain and soreness and then by di-
rect contact with the ulcers and
piles cause them TO heal up aud dis
appear forever.
It's simply wonderful how speedi-
ly they act. Blessed relief often
comes in two days. Even in eases
that have steadily resisted all
known treatments, marvellous re-
suits have been obtained. MOAVA
is one of the wonderful discoveries
of recent years and any sufferer
from Piles or Hemorrhoids who is
disappointed with its use can have
their money refunded. adv No 4

Boxing, Klamath
River Question
Carried in State

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.--Of
the four amendments on which fig
ures have been compiled covering
practically two thirds of Che state S
vote the ten round boxing bill and
the klamath River game district
seemed to be safely carried while
the poll tax and the water and pow
er act appeared defeated.
The boxing bill, which polled n
heavy majority in the large centers,
had its majority cut down in the
outlaying counties but this morn
ing was leading by approximately
$4,000 votes.
The klamath River game district
measure, despite the hard fight
made against it, apparently car
ried all counties and today's figures
give it a majority of over 100000.
The. poll tax was $4,000 behind
today.
The water and power act was
overwhelmingly defeated, with to-
days compilations showing mar
gin of 100000 against it.
