STRAUS INSISTS JAPS ARE LEAVING Writes Senator Flint Defend ing His Statistics of Immi gration and Emigration. VERY FEW SMUGGLED IN Quotes Figures to Show Effect of Restrictive Laws Decrease of 1542 Japanese Residents. In Four Months. WASHUsTlTON. Jan. 2S. Secretary Straus forwarded a letter to Senator Frank P. Flint, of California, discussing the statistics of the Department of Com merce and Labor covering the Immigra tion of Japanese to the I'nited States and the emigration of Japanese from the United States. Mr. Straus seys: "You will observe that the entire num ber (Japanese) admitted was 12,413 for the calendar year 1W7, whiio the antlre number admitted was but 44n for the calendar year 1S"W. Ton will also bear in. mind that the executive order of the President was Issued on March 14, l!n7, but It took a considerable time to pre pare regulations and put them Into ef fect and for the Department of State, both here and through our Ambassador to Japan, to arrive at a definite under standing with the Japanese government More Going Than Coming. "I desire furthermore to direct your at tention to the fact that the entire immi gration for tlie year beginning with No vember 1. 1907, and ending with October SI, 19uS, was 6017, while tho departures for the same period were 6S32. leaving an Increase of immigration of Japanese for that year of 15. "It Is further to be observed that, be ginning with the month of June, 1908, to October, 1908, the emigration of Jap anese from the United States exceeded the Immigration to the United States by 1M2, showing distinctly that the trend of the migration of Japanese is from the United States. It Is further shown by the marked decrease of Immigration during the months referred to of ll8 as compared with the 'same months of 1907. Few Are Smuggled In. "The press reports which I have seen contain statements made by some of your people in California that these fig ures are inexact I desire emphatically to state that they are absolutely correct, and the proof thereof, which is on file in the Department, clearly demonstrates the accuracy of the figures. "It haa further been Intimated, as I see from reports, that there is a large surreptitious influx of Japanese over the Mexican and Canadian borders. I am Justified in saying that this Is not true, for obvious reasons.- That there are some few scattered surreptitious entries Is quite probable, but the sum Is so email that it cannot be consequential." "Finally I wish to call your attention to the fact, which the statements above are forced to indicate, that the arrange ments which have been called the 'gen tlemen's agreement' we have with Japan, In my Judgment, are working more effect ively than would result from any re strictive laws, because of the effective embargo Japan haa placed on the depart ure of her subjects from Japan." CEXSTJS BILL FOR JAPANESE Stanton Move9 to Carry Out Gil left's Suggestion. SACRAJIKNTO, Cal., Jan. 28. In ac cordance with the suggestion of Presi dent Roosevelt and Governor Gillett that the State Labor Commissioner be given money for the collection of data regarding the number and occupations of Japanese in California, In order that the Governor may make a report to the President and Congress, Speaker Philip A. Stanton introduced a bill in the Assembly this morning appropriat ing $10,000 for the purpose. A similar measure will be presented to the Sen ate, and It Is believed by the Speaker that the Governor will have signed It within a short time. Mr. Stanton's bill provides that the Governor shall direct the State Labor Commissioner to undertake Immedi ately and complete as soon as possible the gathering and compiling of sta tistics and such other Information re garding the Japanese of the state as may be useful to the Governor In mak ing a proper report to the President of the United States and to Congress, and In furnishing to the people of this state and elsewhere a comprehensive statement of such conditions as actu ally exist.- Upon the order of the Gov ernor such statistics and information shall be printed and distributed. The' bill appropriates 110,000 and is to take effect immediately. Assemblyman A. M. Drew, of Fresno, author of the bill prohibiting aliens owning land in the state, received the following telegram from President Roosevelt today: "Hon. A- M. Drew, Assembly Cham ber, Sacramento, Cal.: My letter to Governor Gillett about proposed leg islation is on the way. Have sent you copy. Earnestly hope you will wait until It comes.

"The taste is the direct guide to the stomach; and the taste buds are con nected by the nerves with the stom ach itself, so that they represent Its health or disorder. If the stomach or Its Juices are out of tone, the blood Is fermented bv a change In the alkaline or acid condition, and these reach the mouth both directly and indirectly. "The taste buds are in the tongua, and are mounted by halr-llke projec tions called papillae: they cover the surface of the tongue. When you taste these buds rise up and absorb the liquid; Inform the nerves; the nerves tell the stomach, and the food Is acceptable or not. Just as the stomach feels." The above remarks on taste corns from an eminent authority and sim ply explains why. when one smells cooking or sees food one thinks he can eat, but when he tastes he learns the stomach Is out of business. To the person who cannot taste aright, who relishes no food and sim ply forces himself to eat, Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets hold the secret of en joyable eating, perfect digestion and renewed general health. Most men wait until their stomachs are completely sickened before they think seriously of assisting nature. When your taste for food is lost It is a certain sign the stomach needs attention. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure such stomachs. They restore sweetness of breath, renew gastric Juices, enrich the blood and give the stomach the strength and rest neces sary to general duty.

DANGERS OF CHILDHOOD THE WOEST OF THESE IS THE NEGLECTED COLD. Health Commissioner Reynolds of Chicago Issues a Bulletin to the Public. From the Chicago Tribune. "Health Commissioner Kenolds of Chi cago, in his latest bulletins of the depart ment, ears that the worst danger to which the children of Chicago are no if exposed is the neglected cold. If your baby has a cold don't say 'it will wear off and let it go at that If your children have the snuffles, or sore throats or watery eyes, don't hesitate to take them from school for a day or two so that you may break up the colds they have. Every parent can add to the healthy con ditions of the city and to his or her own peace of mind by guarding against any and very kind of a cold. Generally the child doesn't know It caught cold. It may be impossible to prevent it from exposing its sensitive body to those dangers which older persons shun. But the chances of contracting colds can be easily diminished by a little care and foresight. If the children get colds don't waste any time. Don't trifle with a cold." This warning, coming from bo prominent an official and one whose position enables him to know the real danger, should be heeded by all.
