FEDERAL LICENSE.
Secretary MetcaIfs Plan for Controll'
ing Corporations.

Washington.-victor II. Metcalf. sec
| retary of commerce and labor, in his
| annual report saws: 1.-THE work of the
| Bureau of Corporations has developed
along the lines indicated in the first
| annual report of the commissioner. lts
most important work OF regal nature
mas been the further study OF the plah
proposed in the first report Tor the SUI
pervision and regulation, by 1ederai
lcense,' of corporations. engaged IN IN
terstate and foreign commerce. The
inadequacy of state legislation to reg
ulate or control in any proper measure
the corporations engaged in interstate
commerce has been most clearly DEM
onstrated. The great railway systems
and the greater industrial corporations
extending their operations through
many states. some through the entire
United States, are but nominally SUI
pervised or controlled by the states
from which their charters were OBJ
tanned. Some of these corporations
have shown not only disregard for
state laws, but have become potent fac
tors in directing the political policies
of the state.
"The federal license plan recognizes
that real supervision, real regulation,
can only be enforced by a government
whose jurisdiction and power are great
enough to cope with the corporations
to be supervised or regulated.
THE number of aliens who applied
for admission during the year, ,02G,-
499-is in excess by 237.507 of the
number reported for 1882. the arrivals
during which year were in excess of
those during any year prior to 1903.
and 213,629 in excess of the arrivals in
1904. With respect to the sources from
which those immigrants are derived.
1t is interesting to note that, compared
with the corresponding figures for the
last year. the quota from Russia in
creased 39,75G; from Italy 2S,1S3, and
from the United Kingdom 45,544. The
total number of Chinese admitted to

Tennessee Praise.

Dayton, Tenn. Dec. 11th Especially
Among many prominent residents
to praise Dodd's Kidney Pills is Mr..
N. r. Roberts of this place. He tells
of what they have done for him, and
his words will go deep into the hearts
of all who are suffering in the same
way. He says:
II was martyr to Kidney Trouble,
but Dodd's Kidney Pills completely
cured me. l shall always keep them
on hand in case there should be any
return of the old trouble, but | am
thankful to say they did their work

HOW TO PRoLoNe LIFE.
Testimony of Healthy octosenarian
Vegetarian.

Our vegetarian friends are getting
fat, healthy and saucy. They eat no
meat and wax strong, and in athletics
they win prizes The other night the
London vegetarians met at Memorial
hall, and the bills announcing the
meeting bore the legend: Not too old
at Forty! Still Young at Eighty"
The chairman was Mr.. c. p. New
combe, aged eighty, and around him
were gathered seven other octogen-
arians, blooming with health and
wearing buttonholes of carnations"
MIR. Newcombe was wise and clipper.
He drew vivid contrast between veg
etarians and flesh eaters. The latter,
he said, were screwed up with gout
and bent down by rheumatism, while
their excited hearts gave them fiorid
compilations which an exasperated
liver turned yellow and green.
DIR. Mayor, professor of Latin at
Cambridge University, a sprightly lad
of eighty, said he never sat down at
the ''groaning board" laden with meat
dishes but that he felt as if in a pill
lory. He had not touched tobacco for
seventy-two years, some cigars which
he essayed at the tender age of eight
years effected a permanent cure of the
tobacco habit for him. tt \ arose Mr..
T. A. Hanson, aged eignty-seven, a
younger looking man, and related that
when seventy-two years he broke
leg. 1t was the opinion of the doc
tors that his advanced age" would
prevent the bone from knitting. But it
did, and the injured leg is now the bet
ter of the two. When eighty-two he
broke two ribs. but they were right in
two weeks. He was sure his vege
tartan life was to be credited with his
vitality.
Miss Warlow, aged eighty, had found
that when she became a vegetarian all
desire for wine left her. She did not
miss it the least in the world.'
