The United States Bureau Of Ma

Offices. industrial establishments, pub
lie schools. and the like throughout
the land. More than 100000 of these
posters have been distributed up TO

Many interesting letters have been
received in response to the invitation
at the bottom of this poster. not few
OF which are written in the native
languages of the immigrant. One and

acid gets into the blood through some
