Parties coming to the United ST
ates who object to paying the head
tax and who intend to return to
Canada, should bring some evidence
of their standing in business at
at home, such as a card, letter
from Post Master, Mayor, Magi-
strate, have return ticket TO
Canada, and be able to give a log
ical reason showing that they will
return. 1t may be interesting to
know that already at certain points
thirty per cent of aliens entering the
United States from Canada claiming
to be going back, have not returned
to Canada. Aliens coming to the St.
ates for the purpose of going to the
Drs. Mayo at Rochester, Minn., or
other physicians at other places,
should be supplied with ample funds
to guarantee payment of all their
expenses in the States, so that assur-

not be there in the hospital and with
out funds and a public charge. TIL
ere are certain diseases that manda-
torily exclude aliens from admission
to the United States, viz: Tubercu-

tion in the States, and upon arrival
at Duluth are required to appear be-
ffore the immigration inspectors on
the boat, answer questions, and sign
their cards, when, if passed, they
will be given a ticket to present to
the watchman at the gangplank,
which will entitle them to leave the
boat. Without this ticket none
may leave the boat, not even an AM

identifying him.
Persons bringing children under is

children should have some affidavit
from the parents of the child show
ing the willingness of the parents
that the child shall go. Otherwise
there is nothing to indicate that the
child may not be kidnapped. The
law is strict about children under 16

neither parent in the United States.
1t must be shown that the children
are strong and healthy; that they
have not been the object of public
charity while in Canada; that they
are going to close relatives in the
