Camp No. 75. 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 .

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.

Now, dear Blr. in justice, to your do
