NEWARK, N. j., July 12.-John
Pakarek has been notified that the
authorities have overruled the immi-
grafton officials at Ellis Island and
that he will be allowed to bring his 12-
year-old daughter into this country.
Pakarek, who is a naturalized citizen
of this country, went to Hungary about
two months ago to settle up the es-
tate of his mother, who had just died.
When he returned he brought back
his daughter Bessie, who had remained
with her grandmother when the other
members of the family came to the

The girl has been mentally and phys

Hungary made her condition worse. At
Ellis Island the officials refused to al
low the child to enter this country.

BOON TO MANKIND
Neal Institute, Davenport, Offers to
Perfectly Cure Drink or
| IiouOr Habit.

Their attention having been at
tracted by the great success achieved
by the Neal Institute for the treat
ment and cure of the liquor and NOR
phine habits, a number of business
men and physicians have associated
themselves and have assumed con-
troll of the many institutes through
out the country.
Those who have had these insti-
tutes in charge point to hundreds
of cures in cases which had been
pronounced incurable. The alarming
growth of the abuse of intoxicating
liquors has created pressing neces-
sity for such an institution for the
benefit of the thousands of sufferers
whose numbers increase daily.
The management of the institutes
will take the most complete mental
and physical wrecks and promise to
restore them to conditions normal
and healthy. The tenacious hold of
these habits when once engrafted in
the human system makes it practic-
ally impossible for the victim to
cure himself, but under the regime
of the Neal institute. together with
the remedies applied, 1t is claimed
that the death grip of the appetite
may be speedily and permanently
broken.
