HOTEL AT MIAMI BEACH

Miami. June 16.-The first step to-

under way. Particular attention Is
to be paid to the foundation of this
structure, and big drilling machine
is now on the site taking soundings
and securing samples of the soil at
various depths, and from the analysis
of this soil will be determined the
kind of foundation that will be nee
essary to bear the weight of the
structure and Withstand the ravages
of the elements.
Active preparations are also under
wav for securing and assembling ma
terial to be used in the construction
Of the hotel. Several big sheds for
housing and protecting the material
will be built, and by the first OF

that there shall be enough material

SILK AN INDUSTRY OF INDIA
ern Country Engaged in Its
Production.

There are 1,0O0.OOO people in India
engaged in the production of silk. Cat
erpillars and moths of the mulberry
silk industry of India are entirely do
mesticated creatures. The Indians
collect the cOcoOns spun by caterpil-
lars and allow them to hatch, an ex-
change states. The females are kept
until they lay eggs and when the cater
pillars are large enough they are placed
on trees to feed. When a tree
is stripped piece of cloth is hung
from limb and the caterpillars crawl
onto 1t and are moved to another tree.
Tasar or tussor silk comes from
China and Japan. Muga silk is prod
uct of Assam. Fri silk comes from
caterpillars which feed on the castor
oil plant. 1t is of great value in In
dia. because it Is the only silk that
can be spun from cocOons without kill
ing the insects in the cOcoOns and is
therefore the only silk that can be
worn by a strict Hindu.

Film Stars Mustn't oscuIate.

The police of Japan do not like to
see kissing in public and therefore
film stars are not permitted to oscu-
late on the screen. In six months up
to March 1 the police censors removed
1850 kisses from films. Only one kiss
was allowed to remain. 1t was kiss
granted to Columbus by Queen Isabel
In and was shown in Tokyo only, as
the censors deleted 1t before permitting
the photoplay columbus" to discover
the provinces.
Three hundred and fifty-three en-
braces were omitted from films, states
the Far East. The titles Of 2,144 pho
toplays were altered by the censors
and 1877 murder scenes were killed.
Reels entirely prohibited numbered 81.
Most films shown in Japan are from
America and large proportion of them
originally contain a little kiss or so,
showing the difference in standards be-
tween east and west.

Trying to Kid Him.

Down at Kelly field IN instructor
left on Though and his cadets were
assigned to other flights" for their
flying practice. By mistake one was
attached to "circus" squad.
When his turn came he climbed into
the rear pit and the instructor took
him up to 5000 feet swung the ma
chine into spiral nose dive. and
waved his arms above his head to In
dictate that the cadet should right the
machine.
When the machine had dropped to
$500 feet, gaining momentum rapidly,
the instructor became alarmed and
looked back Mt the cadet, who waved
his arms above his head and grinned.
The pilot grabbed the controls and
made safe landing.
The cadet explained that this was
his first flight, and he thought the in
structor was trying to kid him when
he waved, so he pretended he wasn't
scared.

Tall Palmyra Palm Growing on Top

Every one has heard Of small trees

1t Is, in some parts, fairly common to

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro.P Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vioor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people feshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency SO well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate which is mex
pensive and Is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements. bitro-
phosphate should produce welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease In weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with II
n general Improvement in the health.
Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
with the bloom Of perfect health:
CAUTION: Although bitro-phosphats
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.

FEED ABUNDANCE OF GREENS
Where Chickens Are Confined to Bare
Yards II Is Important They Have
Ample Supply.

Where one has shady yards or can
give the hens range where they can
seek shade and have mellow earth to
wallow In there need be no serious
thought of green food, but where the
hens are confined in bare yards it is
quite important that they have an am
pie supply. For feed very little
scratch feed and a large measure Of
green's will make morning feed. Dry
mash can be kept before them and this
should contain fair supply of meat
and bone. Before going to roost the
hens should have another and more
liberal feeding of grain.

For the average farmer whose Or

most desirable. 1t can be bought and
maintained at comparatively small
cost. while the initial cost Of the large
power sprayer is so great as to make
the owner Of the small orchard hesi-
tate about it's purchase. In some cases
Q neighbor or one who makes a bust

be engaged to do the work with the

even under such conditions, 1t often
happens that one is unable to get the

Killing the ants, Of course, by de-

the control Of the corn-root aphids in
gardens, and this is about the only
way 1t can be controlled, since, living
underground, 1t cannot be reached by
sprays. The simplest attack on the
ants is to scald their hills with boil

pour little carbon disulphid into the
entrance to the hill and Immediately
cover the entrance with earth in order

Spraying with nicotine sulphate. how

found to be present, as they increase
very rapidly and unless checked soon

REDUCE RAvAGES OF
CUCUMBER BEETLES
Many Farm Crops Are Attacked
by Injurious Insect.
Il Is by Far Most Common and De-
structive Cucurbit Pest Farmer
and Gardener Have to Fight
-Larva Is Small Worm.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Garden gumption" will do more to
reduce the ravages of the striped Gu
cumber beetle than open warfare
methods. In other words, prevention
is again more effective than cure.
Cucumber, watermelon, squash, can
talOupe, beans, peas and other crops
are attacked by the cucumber beetle.
1t damages crops in all parts Of the
United States east of the Rocky Noun
tains, and is nearly always present
In the gardens and on the farms Of
this area. 1t Is by far the most COM
mon and most destructive cucurbit
pest the farmer and gardener have to
fight.
This insect Is destructive in two
stages Of its life-the larva or worn"
stage and the beetle stage. The larva
Is small threadlike white worm with
dark-brOwn head and tail, which works
underground and tunnels the roots and
stems of the plants. 1t is by no
means as destructive as the beetle.
The beetle has a black and yellow
striped back when its wings are fold
ed, black abdomen, and yellow neck
and legs. 1t eats the leaves and stems
of plants and later gnaws the rinds
of the fruits and renders them I'M
arketable.
The principal injury Is done by last
years beetles that have wintered in
the trash left in gardens and fields
and in dense weeds along ditch banks
and river bottoms. These beetles de-
YOUR the tender stems and leaflets Of
plants not yet fairly started. The
beetles are also carriers of some plant
diseases.
There Is no specific remedy for the
striped cucumber beetle. Spraying will
destroy the beetles when they occur
in moderate numbers, but is not effec-
tive against large numbers. Since
the larvae live in the roots and stems,
principally underground, spraying will
not get them. Hence preventive meas
ures must be practiced.
