Order of Sons of Zion, of thta city, has registered its protest against the Burnett immigration bill, which includes the literacy test. They have sent the following tele gram to Speaker Champ Clark of the house of representatives: "Wo register our protest against tha Burnett immigration 111, or any simi lar restriction upon new; settlers, as un-American." Letter to legislators - - Notifying Senators Brandegee and McLean and 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, crazsd, dis eased or defective, but it does close its antes 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. Tha literacy test, were it applied 150 years ago, would have turned back . some of the progenitors of our ablest and foremost statesmen and humani tarians. Those people in their day were not called foreigners, 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 perfectly quali fied to pass a test in reading and writ ing, can come and go. a 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 equality. . - What we want are men 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 nation of the rich blood that is needed if the coun try is to grow as it has grown in the past . OPPOSED TO 'GAMBLING AT STATE FAIRS.

My Meals Don't Hurt a Bit A Little Stuarfs Dyspepsia Tablet Will Aid Your Exhausted Stomach to Digest Any Meal. , Isn't it a real joy to see children at? There is almost a ridiculous hu. mor about it. The same joy that a ehild feels at meal time should be ex perienced by ''grown ups" and would be if they would only do as children do. The work, worries and woes of adult life exhaust the digestive apparatus and nature very often is not allowed time or opportunity to renew or rer Pair the exhausted organs and de pleted digestive juices. wsVssi"''R "Well Whata You Think o a Big Feed Without Pain?" ' A Stuart's tablet goes iko the stom ach like food. It contains 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 eating a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet after each meal will readjust your digestion in a very short j time so that you will no longer need assistance.
