The IMIGRATloN BILL.

The Washington correspondent of

statement thu several mcmbn s Of tho

grafton bill, which passed Tie senate
some time ago and which probably
will be called mp in the House in Il

ton. have influenced members Of Con
sress to have Congress pass a bill that
would have the effect of making ,ht
Immigration laws prolihitory.
The Senate bill as 1t was reported
from the Immigration Committee by
Senator Dillingham; did not carry an
educational clause. II was regarded as
conservative measure STRENGTHENING
the present immigration laws clml-
mating defects here ana there. and
making some desirable improvements $.
one of which was the Simmons soc.
ton providing for distribution bur.

to the agricultural sections of the
South anu Southwest. where their
labor is greatly needed. The bill as
II passed the Senate minded an ctllc;i.
tional amendment offered by Senator
Simmons Of North Carolina. amended
by Senator Lodge, Of Massachusetts.
The distribution clause was practical-
ly annulled by limiting the funds for
the maintenance of the bureau TO $40
900 annually.
While there can be no reasonable
objection to proper immigration, The

in placing something like 1000 for.

WHATS n Good potnto,

Most people, ! suppose. take 1t for
granted that the best potatoes are tho
ones that contain the most starch. On
the contrary. 1t is the ones that con-
tain the most gluten. because gluten
is an albuminous food, and starch Is
much cheaper than albumen First
comes the skin of the potato. In new
potato it is thin and clear. while Il
corky skin indicates n mature potato
and one more likely to be mcnly. Sec
ond Is thin layer varying from one
eighth of an inch to half an inch In
thickness. This Is the gluten. Third
comes the largest part of the potato,
the starch. If this is very dense the

Fourth is the very center of tile tuber.
