INFLUX OF ILLITERATE
ALIENS TOO GREAT
Commissioner General Sar-
gents Plan to Check 1t.
STATED IN ANNUAL REPORT
Scheme Outlined to Distribute Great
Body of Immigrants to Localities
Best Suited to Them.
STATED IN ANNUAL REPORT

In order to prevent the present great
influx OF illiterate immigrants into the
United States, Commissioner General
Sargent. of the Bureau of Immigra-
ton, recommends In his annual report
made public today. that Congress enact
a law requiring the ability TO read and
write on the part of aliens seeking al
mission to the country. The Commission
er General bases this recommendation
on the fact that no less than 1900 Hit
crate immigrants or % per cent OF the
total. entered the United States in the
twelve months ended June 30, 1903. Italy.
and Russia provide US
with the great bulk OF these illiterates.
Physical Examination.
The Commissioner General also strong
ly advises a physical examination of i'm
migrants at foreign ports of embarka
ton by skilled physicians representing
the United States Government.
The great problem presented TO the
United States. says Mr.. Sargent is the
proper assimilation of the vast body of
aliens, virtually a million in number
that enters this country each year. In
order that such assimilation may go on,
Mr.. Sargent recommends the enactment
of laws providing. as far as possible.
for the distribution Of immigrants to
the locations best suited TO them, and
the enactment of styicter naturalization
Jaws He suggests ihat the Govern
ment maintain agencies Cor the infor-
nation Of immigrants arriving here.
which shall aid them in the selection OF
proper homes.
Identification of Immigrants.
Within the past year the Bureau OF
immigration has established n card sys-
tenn at different ports of entry whereby
the time of arrival and identity of i'm
migrants can be readily verified. The
Commissioner General advises that can
didates for naturalization be Required to
present these cards as evidence.
Mr.. Sargent points out the fact that
the law of March 3. 1903. had beeN in
effect such a short time at the concIu-
sion of the fiscal year 1t was impossible
to state many results of the law in This
report. He says, however. the new law
will undoubtedly aid greatly in the cor
rection of certain abuses among which
are the violation of the contract alien
laws and the Chinese exclusion laws

The most potent factor Of good breed
ing, the prime element, the first prin-
ciple, is nothing more CT less than q
condensation Of the Golden Rule-un-
selishness, kindness Of Heart. Nothing
else can ever gain superiority over this
great and noble trait of character. and
without this no person can possess real
refinement, perfect dignity and truly
good breeding. Nothing can supply it's
loss, and nothing can buy its posses
sion. Unselfshness is inherent innate
and Unborn. It is mysterious some
thing that cannot we'll be defined and
yet may be found in the poorest and
humblest as we'll as in the loftiest and
noblest of all Gods creatures.
Good breeding is plainly matter Of
instinct, an Unborn possession that is
one Of the greatest of treasures. Many
possess it, but a great many more fail
to attain it through lack Of the neces-
sary qualities essential to it's acquisi-
tion.-Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
Of
Headaches as rule, result from dis
ordered condition of the nervous system
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. If the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows:-
GO have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for number of years. About
every week would have bad spell of sick
headache, but since I began using Paine's
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
I do not have any more headaches. I feel
better than have for years"
