SPRING FEVER
IS A WARNING
Dull, Worn Out Feeling
Shows Vital Organs Are
Sluggish
PLANT JUICE is
A POWERFUL TONIC

At this season OF the year, the
system needs general "houseclean-
ing" The long siege Of winter. with
indoor living and lack of invigorat-
Ing fresh air, insufficient exercise
and lack Of vitalizing green foods in
the diet, leaves most people in
sluggish condition and dullness. lack
OF energy and dlsordered organs are
usually the results.
II this condition is allowed to con-
tinue, poor health may remain
throughout the pleasant summer
months. What is needed is a revital-
izing, building, cleansing tonic med
icine, and Plant Juice is one of the
best for this purpose because It has
an effect upon the entire system.
This has been proved by the
signed testimonials OF many Will
mington people, another of which
was given recently by Mrs p. O'Con-
nell, OF 1908 Union street, Whining
ton. who said:
For years I had suffered from
constipation and a bad stomach.
Food would ferment in my stomach,
gas would form and then 1 would
bloat terribly. 1 got so dizzy some
times that I could hardly stand on
my feet. I had terrible pains in my
back and my Joints were stiff and
sore. And my stomach was so sore
at times that 1 could not touch II. 1
went TO bed at night feeling miser-
able and woke up the next morning
feeling the same way. In fact. 1
was completely run down.
Il never felt so well in my life as
now, since taking Plant Juice. 1
have a good appetite and do not suf-
fer from gas, bloating or pain. Ny
nerves are eoothed and quieted. and
I go to bed and sleep the whole
night through. Words cannot tell
how thankful I am that I took Plant
Juice.
And besides, Plant Juice helped
my husband. He had such terrible
rheumatism that for three months
he was laid up and could no do a
stroke of work. Plant Juice COM
pletely relieved his rheumatism, and
he Is now up and going to his work
daily"

LAW CRITICIZED
Murray lie Vine Sees Many
Hardships Under Present
Forms
WOULD EXAMINE
IN HOME LANDS

Speaking before the members Of
the Tiffereth Zion Club in the Y. M.
II. A. last evening. Murray Levine.
Of Philadelphia, maintained that the
present immigration laws are unfair
ana work great hardships on per-
sons wishing to come to this coun-
try. Mr.. Levine. who is business
manager for the Has" the Jewish
Sheltering Immigrant Society with
headquarters in New York, answer
ed questions after discussing the
various phases OF the immigration
situation.
Hardships often attend strict in
depreciation OF the immigration laws.
the speaker declared. He said that
In too many cases immigration has
degenerated into a race between the
ships of the different steamboat lines
to get their loads OF immigrants to
this country before the quota has
been admitted. The decision as TO
whether the immigrants should be
admitted should be made on the
other side before they are brought
over, the speaker said.
Mr.. Levine cited many examples
OF immigrants who spent the earn
ings OF years to get to this country
only to be sent back because the
quota was filled.
He also cited examples where fam
lies had been broken up on account
Of questions OF citizenship. One case
was of man and his wife who were
born in Russia. They went to Ru-
mania where a child was born. They
then came TO this country ana were
admitted because the Russian
quota was not filled. The child.
being a citizen OF Rumania. was sent
back because the quota from that
country was flled.
Everything possible was being
done by officials he said, 10 relieve
the hardships OF the situation but It
was difficult to do much in such
cases without violating the strict
letter of the law.
Mr.. Levine also attacked the lit
eracy test and said that often the
persons who made the very best sort
OF citizens could not speak our Ian
guage and could not read and write,
but they sent their children to school
and became very proud of their
adopted country.
Some OF the worst crooks in Eu-
rope were highly educated and
spoke a number OF different Ian
guages and came here not to settle,
but to carry on propaganda for So
cieties in Europe whose principles
were directly opposed to American
ideals. often these persons, through
] their intelligence and shrewdness,
were able to come IN easily when
others, honest, but not shrewd, were
excluded.

Special to The Evening Journal.
SMYRNA. April 1o.-A member
OF the Smyrna Fire Company has is
sued the following statement relative
to the part Wilmington fremen took
in the Middletown fire last Wednes-
day night:
There appears to be a grave
error in the news item concerning
the fire at Middletown on Wednes-
day night where It would appear TO
the reader that the Wilmington COM
pany did all the work
Whereas the facts are that they
did not arrive on the scene until
a. m. at which time Smyrna, Clay
ton, Dover and Newark volunteer
companies had the fire we'll under
control
The water supply was such that
'ree Wilmington company was ad-
vised that Il would be useless to con-
meet where there were more lines
working than could get a sufficient
supply OF water.
These volunteers are not IN any
way deslrous OF robbing Whining
ton OF any honor due their fre de-
partment, but since they did not ar
rive until a late hour, and could not
be OF great service at that time the
volunteer FIRE companies are full,
entitled to the credit as they were OF
the scene early and did the work"
