Sellers Last Year.

The states, cities, towns and villages

seals per capita will be given pennants
in their respective classes by the
American Red Cross and the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. Last years com
petition was limited to cities, towns
and villages, but for the 1915 seals

states as well.
To avoid pitting villages against
large cities, they have been divided

less than 600; from 600 to 1900; from
1900 to 1900; thence to 5000; thence
to $4,000; thence to $4,000: thence to

A handsome silk banner in red and
white will be awarded to the city, vii
lage, town or country anywhere in the
United States and territories which
shall make the highest score in sale
per capita in its class. The populations
considered are the Federal Estimates
for 1915.
The states with Hawaii-which is a
strong competitor-are likewise group
ed in classes. Glass A, population
up to 100000; Glass B, 1,256,000 to
100000; Glass C, 100000 upwards.
OF the 10 "A' states, Rhode Island
led last year with a sale of 2.1l2 seals
per inhabitant. OF the II ''B' states,
Minnesota led with $50 seal per in
habitant. Of the - states with popula-
tions G9l5) more than 100000, Wis

New York state by n-thousandths
of seal, although New York state out
side New York city won out over Wis
consin, with 1870 seals per capita
In the 1914 competition staid cities
bestirred themselves in rivalry to be
published as the most generous support
ers of public health work through pur-
chase of the Red Cross seals. In other
places the anti-tuberculosis workers
started the selling campaign up again
between Christmas and New Year to
get their town in the Honor Roll for

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid
neys if Bladder Bothers You
Drink Lots of Water.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness. bladder and urinary irri-
tation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
ncys aren acting right or if bladder
bothers YOU, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
news and stimulate them to normal ac-
tivity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer initiates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes n delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

LOOKING FOR WORK

Everywhere men complain about
work; even boys and girls in school or
business find work tedious and irk-
some, but it ism 1.-THE work half so much
as their own lack of physical strength
that makes it hard
Rich blood, strong lungs and health
full digestion make work pleasurable
in business, in school or even house
work, and if those who are easily tired
who are not sick, but weak and ner-
vous-would just take SCOTS Emul-
sion for one month and let its pure
concentrated food create richer blood
to pulsate, through every artery and
vein-let it build a structure of healthy
tissue and give you vigorous strength
you would find work easy and would
look for more. Insist on SCOTS.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur
Makes Streaked, Faded or Gray
Hair Dark and Glossy at Once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and sulphur, properly compounded.
brings back the natural color and lus-
tire of the hair when faded, streaked or
gray: also ends dandruff, itching scalp
and stops falling hair Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth S Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get a large bot
tie for about so cents. Everybody
uses this old, famous recipe, because nc
one can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge OF
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger.

United States in 1910, and therefore
2o0,400 could be admitted from that
country annually under the 10 per
cent limit until the census of 1920
furnished a new basis for computa-
ton. But as the normal immigration
from Germany is now only about 49,
500 annually it is highly improbable
that the limit would be reached in
any year. On the other hand Tiers
were only 1,672, 900 natives of Austria
Hungary here in 1910 and the number
admissible from that country until
1920 would be 1917 200 annually. or
about $4,000 less than the average in
recent years. immigration from Italy
would be cut down considerably more.
and that from Russia somewhat less,
while the normal immigration from
Greece would be reduced more than
one half.
1t is provided that transportation
companies shall be subject to a fine of
800 for each alien brought to the
United States in excess of the max
imum number allowed.

TO RESTRICT
IMMIGRATION
Purpose of Bill introduced
by Senator Dillingham;

WASHINGTON. Dec.

w -ASI1lNO1ON, Dec. ,.
Senator Dillingham; of Vermont.
chairman of the former immigration
commission which strongly recon-
mended that immigration be restricted
has introduced bill which provides
that male aliens over Is years of age
who can not read in some language or
dialect shall be excluded from the
United States. The bill also provides
that the number of aliens of any ma
tionality who may be admitted to the
United States in any fiscal year shall
not exceed 10 per cent of the number
of persons of such nationality resident
in the United States at the time of
the federal census next preceding
Temporary visitors, returning aliens,
and aliens coming to join relatives al
ready here may be admitted in excess
of the per cent limit and the secre-
tary of labor is authorized TO admit
aliens without reference to the per
cent provision or the reading test when
such action is justifable as a measure
of humanity.
new feature in the bill is the pro-
vision that neither the per cent limit,
the contract labor law, or the reading
test shall be applicable to aliens com
ing as actual agricultural settlers I'M
der conditions prescribed by the sec
rotary of labor. Unlike the bills We
toed by Presidents Cleveland, Taft and
Wilson, in which the reading or liter
acy test applied to both sexes, the Dill
bingham bill provides that such test
shall apply only to males.
| The per cent limit, which was first
proposed by Senator Dillingham; in the
last congress, definitely limits the num-
Der of immigrant aliens who can be
admitted from any country, and its eff
feet would be TO reduce immigration
