the coming back OF the medicine that
a young doctor gave TO a love-sick
patient and soon the physician finds
himself affected by the same love
malady.
And yet "The Boomerang" is a boom
erang in another sense. That is the
fact that after having already been

SILK AN INDUSTRY OF INDIA
One Million People In the Great East
ern Country Engaged in Its
Production.

There are 1.00O.00O 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 caterpiI-
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 n limb and the caterpillars crawl
onto 1t and nre moved TO another tree.
Tasnr or tussor silk comes from
China and Japan. Mugn silk is prod
uct of Assam. Fri silk comes from
caterpilars which feed on the castor
oil plant. II is of great value In In
din, because 1t is the only silk that
can be spun from cocoons without kill
ing the insects in the coeoons and is
therefore the only silk that can be
worn by a strict Hindu.

for some time enrolling new members
throughout the East, according to
statements contained in a report pre-
pared by Lieutenant Commander Van
Amherst of the naval intelligence
service. Propaganda activities of Boil
shevists in the East, according to the
report, are shown in the fact that
numbers of lecturers had been arriv-
ing in Philadelphia, Pittsburg, New
York and Boston from l. w. w. head
quarters in Chicago and from the Pa
cific Northwest. The report quoting
from Nova Mira, the Russian radical
newspaper published in Chicago, says

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vieor
and Nerve Force,

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
Ing advertised for the purpose of making
tni9 people neshy; developing arms. neck
and bust. and replacing ugly hoilows 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
gfsts as bltro- phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding tho 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
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with 1t
a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness. should disappear dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
rs unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. 1t
should not. owing to its tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
coer not desire to put on flesh.

10 Export Gold.

New York.-With the removal by the
government of restrictions on gold ex-
port, preparations are under way for
movement Of the metal into foreign
fields. 1t is estimated that banking
houses here which were accustomed to
export gold are undertaking the trans
mission of from s10.000,000 TO S15.000,-
600 worth soon, and it was believed the
greater part of this would go to Buenos
Aires, and the effect would be to equal
lze exchange between South American
countries and the United States.

Would Void Prohibition.

Washington.-Appeal was made by
Representative Dyer, Republican of
Missouri, in a cablegram to President
Wilson, to issue a proclamation declar-
ing wartime prohibition void, in view
of the apparent determination of Con-
gress to let the law stand. The Mis-
souri, representative in his message
stated that public hearings had gone
far enough to satisfy him that repeal
measures had no chance with the
House judiciary committee. Hope was
expressed that the President would
take action.
