SICK TMBEIST
Gently cleanse your liver and

bile from the liver and carry out all

During all the years of the salmot
Industry there have been millions ot
tons of salmon roe thrown away.
American puckers could find no use for
the roe, and like other “waste” product
It was dumped Into the rlfers to lie
carried out to sea. Now a newly ar-
rived Russian Immigrant who was fa-
miliar with the processing of sturgeor
roe In his own land has proved that tin
salmon roe may lie made most de-
licious. According to epicures who have
tried the new product It far surpasses
Russian caviar, and next year It Is
expected the former “waste" product
will become one of the most Important
packs at the salmon fisheries. There

five o'clock in the morning when til

tangled In the nets protecting tlie ship.
Evidently three nets protected Un-

third prevented the torpedoes from
striking tlie hull, und their propellers
kept going outside tlie water with 11
loud noise resembling that made by the
propellers of an airplane.
In fact, the Austrians on hoard the

other ships and on shore, mistook the
noise and took it for granted that I’ola
had been attacked by hostile air cruft.

Berne, Switzerland.—According to
l Swiss law in general and a special or-
! diimnce of tlie federal council dated
! August 4, 11)14, in particular, espionage

been forbidden.

day in Switzerland, and most of them
are tried and convicted. In some enses $100 because the police found out that

plicated in a famous case of espionage
as the principal accomplice of her son
and also the notorious German secret
service spy, Adolf Walker.
The lady and her son were tried anil
sentenced to three months’ Imprison-

Old Lady Returns.
Four months after the trial the old
lady was again in Switzerland, on the
sly, of course, and this time she es-

Miss Wright admitted then thnt In

In such cases the Swiss police In-
variably accompany the spy to the fron-
tier and there let him loose, and ufter
his repatriation nu official announce-
ment Is made to the effect that he 1ms

Ordinary spies are Instead tried and
sentenced to a term of Imprisonment
and a heavy tine. They are moreover,

ing their sentence, of course, and
threatened with immediate arrest If
they come back.
Espionage Flourishes.
As a rule spies of Swiss nationality
are more severely punished than for-
eigners, ns Switzerland Is determined
on absolute neutrality, but ull the same
espionage flourishes everywhere to
such a great extent that practically all
the foreigners in Switzerland, neutrals
or belligerents, are spies or dabble in
espionage or counter espionage.
Comparisons are odious, but It Is n
fact thnt out of 425 cases of esplonnge
brought before the Swiss courts during
the last six months 350 dealt with Aus-
tro-Germnn spies or with people who
were working for the central empires,
and the charges In these latter cases
were not of espionage, pure and simple,
| namely, the securing of Information
about the enemy, but of a criminal nu-
considerable.
The latest esplonnge ense now going
on in Switzerland relates to Heinz

burenu, n French deserter named An-

who served both France nnd Germuny
