FROTEST BURNETT LITERACY TEST] Camp No. 75, Order of Sons of Zion, of this city, has registered its protest against the Burnett immigration bill, which Includes the literacy test. They have sent the following tele- gram to S Cgunp Clark of the use tatives: By °rq4-‘ Sister our protest against the Burnett immigration bill, or any simi- lar regtriction upon new settlers, as un-American.” Letter to Legislators. Noti Senators Brandegee and McLDe‘ssnyi:gd Representative Mahan of this telegram to the speaker, they have also sent the following letter to the senators and congressmen: To you also we earnestly enter our protest against the Burnett bill, a bill that is lax to close our gates against anyone that is criminal, crazed, dis- eased or defective, but it does close its aates against the honest home builder and the honest laborer, all because he was a native of a country that was uncivilized and deaf to education. The literacy test, were it applied 150 years ago, would have turned Dback some of the progenitors of our ablest and foremost statesmen and humani- “tarians. Those people in their day were not called foreigmers, but colonists and settlers, and they were gladly received with open arms. Now we have no pioneers—only foreigners! Should the measure become a law, then the most dangerous type from Europe to America are perfectiy quali- fled to pass a test in reading and writ- ing, can come and go at will, while tens of thousands who seek only an opportunity to apply their industry in wholesome labor will be sent back with hopes and ambitions erushed from } the supposed land of refuge, oppor- tunity and equahity. What we want are menr of will, en- ergy and industry, and these are not dependent on spelling and writing a line or two. Barring these from this country will deprive the naiion of the rich blood that is needed if the coun- try is to grow as it has grown in the past. Senators and Congressmen—Style Proposed Measure as - Un-American—Receive Replies From Legislators. e \ Now, dear sir, in justice to your de- serving constituents, we beg of you to exert your very best efforts to de- feat the proposed bill, and your name will be dear to all hearts.

Isn't it a real joy to see children eat? There is almost a ridiculous hu- mor about it. The same joy that a child feels at meal time should be ex- perienced by “grown ups” and would Pe if they would only do as children 0. The work, worries and woes of adult life exhaust the digestive apparatus @nd nature very often is not allowed dme or opportunity to remew or re- pair the exhausted organs and de- Pleted digestive juices. “Well Whata You Think o’ a Big Feed ‘ Without Pain?” A Stuart’s tablet goes ifito the stom- ach like food. It contdins nothing but natural digestive elements and when at work in a weak stomach it aids the worn-out gastric glands, sup- plies the right mixture of stomach juices and under the action of the stomach it thoroughly permeates all the food. Thus when the stomach work is done the meal goes into the small intestines in better shape to be assimilated by the system. One element of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is so strong and efficient that one grain of it will digest 3,000 grains of mixed food such as meats, vege- tables, grains, fluids, etc. The simple habit of eatinga Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet after each meal will readjust your digestion in a very short time so that you will no longer need assistance.
