WILSON MAY VETO
TEST ON LITERACY
President Directs Opposition to
Restriction in immigration
Measure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-President
Wilson yesterday took an active part
in the work for the defeat of the lit
eracy test in the immigration bill now
pending before the Senate. The Pres
ident has said publicly that he dis
approved the 1iteracy test, but de-
clined to say whether he would veto
the bill on that account If 1t reached
him carrying the clause. He discussed
the measure with Representative Bur-
nett. of Alabama. chairman Of the
committee on immigration, and SEN
ator Lewis, of Illinois. Democratic
whip in the Senate. On leaving the
White House Mr.. Lewis said that If
the bill carried the literacy test when
1t got to the President he probably
would veto 1t.
Apparently the President converted
Mr.. Lewis on the subject of the literacy
test because, although the senator,
1t was understood, favored the pro-
vision, no sooner had he returned to
the Senate from the White House
than he announced his intention to
offer an amendment striking the
clause regarding the test from the
bill. Inasmuch as to the rank and file
In Congress the hteracy test means
the bill itself, 1t is not apparent how
this amendment can prevail. unless
the President takes extraordinary
measures in its behalf On Saturday,
with the opponents of the test fight
ing for delay, the Senate proceeded
with the bills consideration by a vote
of 80 to 10. The bill with the test
clause included already has passed
the Senate twice, once even overrid-
ing President Taft's veto by a two
thirds vote.
The Presidents opposition to the lit
eracy test brings him the support of
the two men who are fighting him
most aggressively on the subject of
appointments to office. Mr.. OGor-
man, of New York, and Mr.. Reed, of
Missouri, are leading the fight against
the literacy test, and everything the
President does against that provision
will help them, but it was on Mr..
O'Gorman's motion that John r. Lynn
was rejected unanimously as Federal
district attorney for the western dis
trict of New York, and on Mr.. Reed s
motion that W. N. Collins was re-
jected as postmaster of Kansas City.

LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
HERES THE REASON


The fact that there is less dyspcp
STA and indigestion in Wills communi.
ty than there used to DC is largely, we
believe, due to .he extensive use OF
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, hundreds
of packages of which we have sold.
NO wonder we have faith in them. No
wonder we are willing to Offer them
to you for trial entirely at our risk.
Among other things, they contain
Pepsin and Bismuth, two of the great
est digestive aids known to med al
science. They soothe the inflame d
stomach, allay pain, check heartburn
and distress, help to digest the food,
and tend to quickly restore the stom-
ach to its natural, comfortable, healthy
state.
There is no red tape about our
guarantee. 1t means just what 1t says.
Wen ask you no questions. Your
word is enough for us. If Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets don't restore your
stomach TO health and make your iii.
gestion easy and comfortable, we
want you to come back for your mon
ey. They are sold only at the 1000
Rexall Stores, and in this town only
by us. Three sizes, &c, sec and $l.r1.
