IMMIGRATION BUREAU
WANTS TO SHUT
DOOR ONE YEAR

Washington, Nov. 29.-The Bu-
reau if Immigration will recommend
to Congress that all immigration, ex-
cept of persons who come of "com-
pelling necessity" be suspended for
at least a year, it was learned Satur-
day. Chairman Albert johnson OF
the House Committee on 1mmigra-
ton, said if bill is not passed by
Congress before March a. it will be
necessary to suspend immigration
until formal action can be taken by
the bureau.
The reasons advanced for such
radical action are the ever-growing
wave of extremism, increasing un-
employment in the United States,
the menace of the housing shortage
and the danger of lowering the Am
erican standard Of living which in
heres in the present practically unre-
stricted immigration Of European
peoples, especially from the coun-
tries of Southern Europe.

Reese's own case.
The Reese Formula R-11 is not a
"cure- 1t is not even recommend
ed for any disorder not due to the
stomach, liver or kidneys. But it can
not be equalled for ailments of these
organs. Any doctor will tell you that
indigestion, nervousness, dizziness,
rheumatism, backache, sleeplessness,
tired feeling, sour stomach, urinary
trouble, female weakness and kidney
trouble are due to the stomach, liver
and kidneys. It is for this reason The
Reese Formula R-11 will give relief
in any of these cases.
The McMurray Drug Company of
this city, as well as every other deal

mand for The Reese Formula Ri by
purchasing it in larger quantities
than any other preparation they have
ever handled. Their good judgment
has been proven by the enormous
sale they have enjoyed since it was
first introduced.
Anyone suffering from disorders of

TWENTY YEARS AGO DIR. H. v.
REESE WAS TOLD BY SToM-
ACH, LIVER AND KIDNEY SPE-
CIALISTS ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY THAT HE MUST DIE.
Resolved To Devote Remaining Days
To Experimenting on Himself in
An Endeavor To Find a Remedy
For Such Ailments, and Finally
Perfected R-11, Which Completely
Restored His Health.

Necessity is the mother of ipven-
tion. It was necessity that caused DR..
II. v. Reese to perfect the wonderful
stomach, liver and kidney remedy
known as The Reese Formula R-11.
No better evidence of the success he
attained can be cited than to take his
own case. The greatest specialists of
the country had told him there was no
hope, he was too far gone. That was
tusnty years ago. Today he does no:
have. a symptom of stomach, liver or
Kidney trouble, and at the age of
aeventy-four weighs forty pounds
more than he did at fifty. He is as
active as a boy.
Never has any scientist had a bet
ter subject to experiment on than did
DIR. Reese. To begin with he had the
united opinion of great specialists that
his case.was an extreme one and was
ineurable. Therefore, he knew that
xnything that would relieve him
would be of untold value to the world.
It is not necessary to describe the
Doctors feelings as one treatment af-
ter another failed to give him the
slightest relief. Finally he arrived at
= combination of drugs that seemed
10 help him. With this encouragement
DR.. Reese set about eliminating some
Ingredients and adding others, al
ways taking those various improved
formulas uptil at last he hit upon a
osmbination that began to work like
magic upon him and in less than six
months he was in a normal physical
eondition and has remained so for the
past twenty years or more.
It is this perfected formula that DR.
Reese now is placing on the market
under the name of The Reese For
mz1a Ri, and which is creating such
a sensation in this city and all over
Che country, because Of its great mer-

Men From Branch OF Cotton Indus
tn Meet-Condition Of Trade

New Orleans, Nov. 30.-A large
aumber of managers of cotton seed
oil mills from all Southern States
met in conference here today to dis
euss the serious condition of their
trade due to the general business
and industrial depression and lack
of outlet by export of their pro-
ducts.
During the discussion it was
: brought out that present prices OF
cotton seed and cotton seed prod
vcs are much below the cost Of pro
duction. Many oil mills throughout
the South have already closed and
others are forced to consider taking
similar action, according to those
present.
In an effort to realize the present
situation, strong resolutions were
adopted setting out that the entire
agricultural and industrial life Of the
country is seriously threatened by
she low price that now prevails that
The edible oil mills should continue
70 operate to afford the farmers a
ready market for their products, and
that congress should be urged to
proceed in the proper but most d.

yened in December to direct the va

mont to perform those duties for
which they were created.

TOTEM POLES TELL HISTORY
Have Peculiar Significance Among
the Uplcoast Indian Tribes OF
British Columbia.

Totem poles of the up-coast Indian
tribes Of British Columbia tell the his
tory of that race. The poles are of
ethnologic and folklore significance
have legendary symbolism, and carry
details Of the tribe, clan, family and
individual Their painted grotesques
Of birds, beasts, fish and men are done
In blue, red and white upon a black
background.
The right to use the totemic crest
always descends through the woman.
A tribesman uses the tribal crest Of
his clan group In addition to those of
one or more guardian spirits he may
have acquired. If he is easy in max
ing friendships with birds. beasts and
fishes he may have Noah's ark of
them on his pole. The crests are also
carved on canoe prows painted on
house fronts and woven into baskets
and blankets OF goat hair or cedar
bark.
A man gets his reputation and
standing in the community. among
the up-coast tribes, not by what he
Owls, but by what he gives away. If
he wants to be regarded as a ''hiyu
tree" or person of special conse-
quence, he aims to do it by giving
away more blankets than anybody
else on the coast.

LEFT REST OF TRIBE IN CAVE
Mandsn Indian Legend Says Fat

The fundamental simplicity of the
American aborigine is illustrated best
In the Indian myths and legends which
have come down to US, asserted DR..
Rudolph Rieder in an address before
the Wisconsin Archaeological society.
"These myths Doctor Rieder said,
~cannot be translated into pretty
phrases, as in that case the simple
beauty Of the original is lost.
'gThere Is a rather interesting leg
end concerning the origin of the Man
dan tribe. 1t says that once the Man
dams lived underground in cave from
which large vine grew. One young
warrior climbed up this vine one day.
and liked the country so well that he
Induced several Of his tribesmen to
follow him up the vine into the world
outside. Several chiefs and warriors
did so, as well as many women, but
when a fat woman tried to climb out
of the cave, against the counsel Of the
chiefs. the vine broke and the rest Of
the Mandan tribe had to remain under
ground. This fable may account for
the fact that the Mandans were rel
atiTely small tribe and also for their
Rntipathy to fat women"

Ancient Crane sirun.

That the making of grape sirup is
not a new thing is shown by the writ
ings of ancient historians. Galen, the
Greek physician and writer, who lived
In the second century after Christ,
says that a good many Asiatic wines
were stored In bottles which were
hung in the corner of fireplaces, where,
by evaporation, they became dry. This
process was called fumariumn The
Greeks had two kinds of wine, "pro-
toplon," or first juice of the grape be-
fore pressing, and 'deuterlon," or
pressed juice. The Romans called
them ',vinum primarium" and "viHum
secundaridm." The juice before fer
mentatien had started was called
'.mustum." After this must, or juice,
had been through heating process,
# was known as ''fruitum," and when,
after long heating, it was reduced to
one-haif or one-tird its OrigiHal vol
ume it was called "sapa" This was
equivalent TO grape sirup and was
used by the Romans on their bread.

Make Friends with Horses.

One reason given why native Arab
horses are generally exceedingly
{riendly ana fearless is that they are
often brought up almost in the midst
of their owners children, and.are used
to being handled and petted from the
time they are tiny foals. Whether this
is true or not, it is certainly good
plan for anyone whs has pony to
make friends with him. 1T is worth
while spending lot of time In the
stable talking to him and getting him
to have perfect confidence in you. 1t
should be. remembered in handling
horses and ponies actions should be
quiet and deliberate. Once% pony and

CEDARS MARY CENTURIES OLD
That Much Sure but It Is Impossible
10 Tell Age Of Lebanon's
Famous Trees.

The age of the famous cedars OF
Lebanon has long been in dispute. Lo-
cal tradition says they We're planted
by God at the creation of the world
and that they win endure until the last
day.
That there was a great grove Of
cedars on Lebanon in the days of King
solomon there can be no doubt, as it
was from them that he obtained the
wood for building the temple. Whether
any of those now standing were there
IN Solomon's time is a matter of specu-
lation.
At the present day the grove con-
tains $50 trees. of which only Is are of
large size. 1t is in the center Of a great
basin in the mountains, 5000 feet
above the sea. A Maronite chapel is
on mound in the shade of the trees,
and here mass is said and on the feast
of the TRANSPORTATION a great festival
takes place.
Several efforts to calculate the age
of the cedars now standing have been
made by counting the rings in the
heart wood of those that have fallen.
These estimates, according to Prof.
A. Henry of the Royal College of Sci
ences for Ireland, in an article In Coun.
try Life, vary from 2,230 years to 2,5O0
years, although it may be that they are
of slower growth than the specimens
tested in other countries.
The largest of the cedars Is Is feet

Chinese Paradise Fish.

A little Chinese fish known as the
paradise fish is remarkable for its
brilliant coloring of crimson and blue.
In the sunlight it shines in rain
bow glow of color. The dorsal fin ex-
tends from near the back of the head
to the tail. The paradise fish was
first brought to France from China
by NJ. Simon in 1889, having been
found in a brook near Canton. The
most interesting thing about this little
fish is the nest made by the male for
the reception Of the eggs. It makes a
little floating nest of glutinous bubbles
below the surface of the water, and
measuring up to six inches across.
Here it places the eggs, some 200 in
number, and mounts guard over them.
