with upraised hand waving them back to the lands whence they came, lands in which many dismantled their old homes to provide passage money to America. And worse, if possible, than the lot of those held on the is land, is that of hundreds of others in the steerage quarters of several yes sels in the hafbor. They too have given up hope of being admitted to the country and face the prospect of spending Xmas on ships carrying them to the countries they had grown to think of no longer as home.
 Robert E. Tod, commissioner of i'm migration, said it would be impos- sible to estimate how many would spend Xmas on the island waiting to be sent back, but sustaining them selves from day to day with the thought that appeals to Washington might open the doors of the United States to them after all
 "I know this,' Mr. Tod said, 'the island will be filled beyond capacity, and there will be a thousand or two on ships waiting to get to the island. There will be no Xmas holiday for the immigration men, but on Sunday afternoon we hope to have little en- tertainment to brighten things, if we can, for those who are to be turned back"

Nearly all rheumatism, headaches. liver trouble, nervousness constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in q glass of water be- fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine This famous. salts is made from the acid Of grapes and lemon iuice combined with lithia and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disor- ders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can not iniure; makes d delightful effer- vescent lithia- water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

New York, Dec. 20.-In contrast to the joy with which nearly everybody else in the metropolis is looking for ward to Xmas more than 1000 men, women and children here are prepar- ing for day made only more bitter by the realization that they are un- happy in the midst of rejoicing.
 These are the vast majority of Uncle Sans temporary guests at the Ellis Island immigration station who are awaiting deportation because quotas permitted their countries are exhausted.
