be spoiled in the preparation. We
have tried TO pick the kind of food
we want and have passed certain
laws restricting immigration. We
have barred some brands entirely.
But the man who wakes up 10 the
fact that there is something wrong
with his system and confines his in
vestigation to the food he is eating.
is lacking in judgment and common
sense. A blood test should be made.
In Panama, regardless Of the all

hospital, a blood sample is taken
on his entrance and a test is made.
l knew of an instance where a man
was brought in with u broken leg.
Word was sent from the laboratory
that there was no hope for him, as
the number of diseased corpuscles
were too many. The man did not
know anything allied him except the
broken leg. He died the following day
from Chagres fever. Unless the blood
test is made in our body polite, and
the diseased corpusces treated, we
cannot expect to keep the rich red
American blood from being contarni-
mated, or make good blood out OF
our foreign food.
On the anniversary Of the signing
Of the Armisuce, number Of the
men who had returned from the
World War were shot down from
ambush while marching in the cele-
bration Of the victory Of Right over
Might. They were shot down by citi-

foreign agitators, (the undigested
food. Following this act, diseased
corpusces from all over the system
were concentrated for treatment and
the foul food was sent to the dock
to be shoveled aboard ship and sent
back to the place where it was grown.
Like the seeds Of the Russian thistle,
the seeds Of Russian bolshevism had
been scattered all over our country
and the crop was flourishing. The
dock tender, Mr.. Louis f. Post, an
official and employe Of the govern
ment assistant secretary Of labor
disregarded the orders Of his super
iors-congress and the courts of the
country-and on his own authority
shoveled this pile Of filth, not over
board, but back on the shore again,
where 1t was scattered broadcast by

in accordance with orders he had re-

ericanism! Is the work confined to
the foreigner alone? A committee
appointed by the national executive
committee Of the legion is now in
Washington insisting on the removal
and punishment Of the man who is
bigger, in his own estimation, than
the will of the people as expressed
through congress and the courts.
The work among foreigners has re-
ceived the attention Of the Red Cross,
Salvation Army, American Legion
and other organizations. The field
is so large and the work being done
is so comprehensive that space for
bids more than touching on the SUBJ
ject, as it is being treated more in
detail by those actively engaged in
the work. Do you know there are
100000 people in this country who
cannot read or write English? That
100000 must learn about this coun-
try, our laws and customs through
the medium Of their native tongue,
their knowledge Of our language be-
ing SO limited? That Is only a part
Of the problem we have to solve, but
the work Is being carried on by Sc
lected agencies along well defined
lines. never losing sight of the well
fare OF our country or that Of the
newcomer.
One phase Of the problem would
not exist were our own citizens thor
oughly Americanized. So-called good
citizens, holding public office, appeal
for the votes Of the foreign born by
furnishing them with some grievance
which the opposition is supposed to
have done to the mother country.
These seeds Of hatred once planted
often result in hatred of our govern
ment and instead Of having material
for good healthy blood, we add to
the number Of diseased corpuscles.
You often wonder why certain
Statesman took the stand ne did
on foreign question. From all data
obtained, and for the good of our
own country, he should have taken
the opposite stand. Turn to census
Of his district (you will mind it in
the World Almanac) and you will
likely find that the controlling vote
in his district is cast by natives of
the country favored. He is simply
paying off a campaign debt, and if he
refused to vote the way he did. he
could count on being defeated in his
campaign. And he calls himself an
American and shouts America first."
