PRESIDENT CONFERS
ON IMMIGRATION
Lecturer in Japan University Dis
cusses Question With
Executive
By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2.-Presi-
dent Wilson regards it as universally
agreed that there should be some re-
strictions to prevent what is known as
assisted immigration" He has not
yet announced his position on the lit
cracy test feature of pending immi-
grafton bills and indicated to-day that
he would not do so until consulted by
leaders in Congress. There Is said to
be some ground for the belief that he
may suggest certain notifications in
the literacy test as now proposed.
Secretary Wilson, of the Depart
ment Of Labor, informed Congress to-
day that he was not opposed to the
principle of the literacy test. He
recommended making the immigra-
ton bill more drastic in several par
ticulars, especially in regard to white
slavery" and that skilled laborers i'm
ported under contracts, as we'll as
unskilled laborers. would be barred.
Provision to bar aliens who have COM
mitted a crime or misdemeanor in
volving moral turpetude, whether con-
victed or not, and to deport aliens
committing crimes in this country also
was asked.
Lecturer i'm Conference
The Rev. Sydney L. Gulick, lecturer
at the Imperial University of Japan,
discussed immigration to-day with the
President.
Under arrangements made by the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America, which includes
thirty Protestant denominations, the
Rev. Mr.. Gulick has been visiting lead
ing cities, suggesting a new immi-
grafton policy. He suggested to the
President his plans to treat all ma
tions on a basis of equality, ire
nouncing all invidious legislation and
differential treatment" by allowing
only maximum annual immigration
of nationalities by fixed percentage
of those already here and naturalized.

30 COUPLES WANT

Many a Tale Of Marital Woe Re-
counted in Divorce Court
Today

Nearly fifty separate and distinct
tales Of marital woes were listed for
an airing to-day before President
Judge Kunkel and Judge Henry Leb-
anon, at the February session Of di-
vOrce court
Among the tales told in Judge Kun
kel's court was that of Mary S. against
Benjamin F. Davis, Jr. Two weeks
after they were married Mrs. Davis
said her husband went out to get her
some medicine-and never came back.
Another tale that was told Judge
kunkel was that of Pauline and
Ralph E. Brook. Mrs. Brook wanted
the knot united. They lived at the
foot of Mont Alto, she said. Brook
frequently liked to tease her until she
got angry-and then he'd lick her
with his belt and razor strap, she said.
Two years was as long as she could
stand for that sort of thing.
Over in Judge Henry's court the
tale Of the marital agreement between
Mary and Ignatus Mahoric was re-
counted. When they married Mary
agreed to help out in defraying the
family expenses by taking in wash
ing" Ignatius however eventually
WEIGHED on his part of the contract.

said, he only saw his five-day-old baby

Besides that he drank, gave her no
money and treated her in anything

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to flush Kidneys if
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers

If you must have your meat every
day. eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally. says a noted au-
thority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid, which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel 1t from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken. then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours. tongue
Is coated and when the weather is bad
You have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore ana irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
TO neutralize these Irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste. get four
ounces of Jad Salts from anv nhar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for n
few days, and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids In urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure. end makes delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.-Adv.
