The Russian Ministry of Finance has
just published an interesting descrip-
ton of the Russian silk industry. The
yield is not very great, hardly exceed
ing during the last few years 16 tons of
dried cocOons, representing a value Of
from 10000 to 10000 rubles ($16, 400 to
$2O,6OO). A Moscow mill buys up the
greater part of the supply. A small
part is worked up locally, but the small
local factories are gradually losing
ground in their competition against the
big mills. The production of the eau
casus amounted, during the last few
years, TO about 1853 tons of dried CO.
coons. Kutais and Elizavetpol are the
governments in which sericulture has
progressed best. In the towns of Nucha
and Schuscha there are about fifty fac
tories, which consume the whole cocoon
supply of the eastern part of Transcau-
casia. There is, therefore, no export of
cocoons from this district. Although
no reliable statistics are available re-
garding the cocoon of central Asia, it
is estimated at about 2,179 tons, Of a
value Of about 100000 rubles C$2,575,-

There will be rejoicing in France,
Germany and England over the failure
of the cotton spectators. Last year
there was a very bitter feeling against
those who manipulated the cotton mar
ket. 1t led to the formation Of those
societies which are now striving to
raise cotton in various colonies, so as
to be emancipated from dependence
upon the American cotton market.

WAS CURED QUICKLY
Rheumatism in Two Severe Cases
Mastered in a Few Weeks.
Public Interest Aroused by the Quckness and Complete
ness Of the Cures, and the Remedy Used by
Mr.. Schroeppel and Captain Balfour in Great
Demand in the Vicinity Of Their Homes.

In the winter of 1923 Mr.. Schroep-
pei was attacked by rheumatism of a
most pronounced and incapacitating
type. So severe was the, attack that
he was confined to bed and was unable
to help himself. The doctor was called
in and treated him, but without sue
cess. He subsequently regained his
health, however, by means which he
described with great enthusiasm in re-
spouse to an inquiry for particulars.
"After five or six weeks of helpless
inactivity and pain,' said he, during
which | was receiving visits at regular
intervals from the doctor, ! felt as bad
being we'll again. About this time my
mother, an old lady Of eighty years,
visited me and earnestly entreated me
to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for my
ailment. She declared that she had
received great benefit from their use
in Kidding herself Of rheumatic pains
even at her advanced age, and she was
confident they would help me. At her
treatment, reluctantly however, and a
member Of the family was sent to the
nearest drugstore for a supply Of the
simple and inexpensive remedy which
she so strongly recommended.

covered that the vacant space spoiled
the appearance Of the adjoining struc-
