The Tooth of Buddha.

The "Dalads' Malisawa,- or Tenn
pie Of the Tooth, at Handy. is one
OF the most SACRED of many sacred
spots in Ceylon-so sacred that one
even acquires virtue from sitting in
the gutter outside its wall and
pouring over his head the dirty
water that runs there. Behind the
wall is a grassy court, dotted with
trees, and in the midst Of the court
is the temple.
If you visit the temple on a holy
day you will be greeted by the per-
fume from ten thousand blossoms.
Flower vendors offer jasmine, olesn-
der and the fragrant Plumiers,
creamy white with yellow heart.
and every worshiper strews sweet
flowers before the seven shrines.
The seven shrines are of pure gold,
blazing with rubies and emeralds,
lustrous with cat's-eyes and pearls
One within another they stand, and
the innermost shrine is solid with
rubies. 1t holds, as you may see on
holy days when the seven doors
stand open, the tooth of Buddha-
rising on a wire stem from the
heart OF a golden lotus flower.
1t is said that the tooth was
brought to Ceylon in the fourth
century A. D., smuggled in from
India hidden in the hair of a prin-
cess. In the thirteenth century IL
was carried of by Indian invaders.
Later it was recaptured and
brought back to Ceylon. The Portu-
guese asserted that they burned IL
publicly at Goa in the sixteenth
century. But the Buddhists say
that the yeliowed ivory relic at
Randy is the true tooth Of the true
Buddha. The temple where IL rests
was built in the early eiehteenth
century. 1t contains a famous Ii
brary of oriental manuscripts, kept
by yellow-robed priests, and is rich
with the gifts of kings and princess

WHATS YOUR HURRYY
THRILLING REID PICTURE

Plenty of thrills are in Wallace
Reid's latest automobile romance,
whats Your Hurry?" which will
again occupy the screen at the Elko
theatre tonight. The star is an auto
driver and in several scenes in the
picture is shown competing with pro-
fessionals in a slashing race. Later
he transfers his talents to motor
trucks in order to win the good
graces of the father of the girl he
loves. The sensational climax OF the
picture comes when Mr.. Reid risks
his life to drive a truck down a
steep embankment and plug the
breach in a big irrigation dam.
Pretty Lois Wilson plays opposite
the star as leading woman and Clar-
ence Burton and Charles Ogle are
also in the cast.

AN OLDRECIPE
TODARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glo4sv

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back theN natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle Of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition Of other
ingredients, at very little cost. Ev-
erybody uses this preparation now,
because no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
50 naturally and evenly. You dampen
q sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at q time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark
thick and glossy and you look years
younger.

POSSIBILITIES IN
SILK CULTUREH HERE
FASCINATING INDUSTRY CLAIM
ED TO OFFER OPPORTUNITY
FOR SOUTHERN FARMER

The vast possibilities for the intro
duction of a new and fascinating in
dustry in Louisiana one that win far
surpass in its financial returns to the
4 farmers those of cotton, sugar or rice,
is now being demonstrated over the
state by DR.. Vartan K. osigian, crea-
tor of the new Osigian silk tree and
/ the super-siIkworm. which weaves silk
I finer and better in every way than the
best silks produced by China, Italy or
France.
/ DR.. Osigian is the president Of the
Osigian Silk Corporation Of New Or
i leans, a concern organized with the
object of encouraging the raising Of
silk worms in the southern states; to
grow silk trees for distribution to
4 farmers engaging in the raising Of silk.
to distribute the eggs Of the worm
(for limited time free of cost, and to
buy the cocoons from the farmers.
DR.. Osigian is now building in New
Orleans a hosiery factory where the
finest Of SIX hose viii be made from
! Louisiana grown silk.
/ For several weeks past DR.. 0sigian
has been appearing in lectures and
+ demonstrations before civic, CONNER
ciaI and educational institutions. in
GLIDING the Rotary club and the high
school at Lake Charles; the Southwes-
tern Institute at Lafayette; the fairs
at Hammond, DonaldsonvilIe and Gov
ington, and will establish an instrue-
tive exhibit showing the entire pro-
cess Of the industry, at the state fair
to be held in Shreveport.
The possibilities of the cultivation
of the silkworm in the southern states
reads like fairy tale. There is some
thing about silk, with its romantic
history, that equals the tale Of the pur-
suit Of gold. 1t is filled with adven-
ture and fires the imagination. Its
financial returns are like to golden
dreams.
1t is now the consensus of expert
opinion that the cultivation Of the
silk worm may go far toward offering
a practical solution to the problem of
/ the cut-over lands of the state, now
lying fallow and unproductive. DR..
/ Osigian says that his silk tree viii
florish on almost arid land, and these
trees might well take the, place of the
great forests of pine which once flour
ished in Louisiana until the ak of the
i Iumberman stripped them bare.
At very small initial expense it is
possible for the farmer in small way
to engage in this new indutry. A few
acres Of land planted at small expense
with a few Osigian silk trees, viii
yield returns that viii surpass any ag-
riculturaI experiment ever tried in the
state. Statistics furnished by silk
raisers show that an acre planted to
silk frees vii yield a net profit the
first year of Extraordinarily more
than most cut-oYer lands are sold for
