Sun-Maid Rabins [lad Your Iron Today? Movement on Foot To Broaden lT. S. Immigration Act House Committee Considering Bill to Reduce Total Quotas and iden Exemption Clauses. Washington. Jan. 20.—Reductions In ( the quotas of immigrants admissible ] to the United States, hut a broaden ing of the classes exempt from the ! quotas is in contemplation by the house committee on immigration, which expects to report a bill to the house this week. Sentiment iri the committee, which had been working on the bill in cx : ocutive session for several days, srems to favor a reduction in quotas from 3 per cent to 2 per cent along the lines provided in a bill recently introduced in the house by Repre sentative Vaile, republican, Colo rado. The hill as finally reported will include features of bills introduced by Representative Valle and Representa tive Johnson, republican, Washing ton, chairman of the committee. The Vaile bill provides that the quota of each nationality shall he 600 plus 2 per cent of the number of foreign persons of such nationality resident in the United States under the census of 1310, The bill provides for the admission of needed laborers, of wives, minor children and other relatives of citizens or declarants and of various other classes outside the quotas. The broadening of exemptions is intenedod to improve the adminis tration of the law which, in its pres ent form, has resulted in dividing families and in keeping out various classes not intended by framers of the act. The Vaile bill groups immigrants in two classes, Class A and Class R. Class A immigrants are ad missible outside of quotas, while Class R immigrants are subject to the quota restrictions. • No immi grant shall be admitted unless he has a consular certificate. Consular of ficers may isue certificates to Class A immigrants without limitation as to the number of such certificates up on a showing satisfactory to each rase, according to regulations of the commissioner general of immigration that the applicant is entitled to be regarded as in such class.

Maude Adams Retires Finally from Stage New York, Jan. 20.—The last notes of (he swan sung of Maude Adams, the Peter Pan of the American stage, have died away and their echo Is silenced. Though there has been every reason to believe tills since Miss Adams an nounced her definite retirement sev eral years ago, not until now has the world of make-bellevo-admitted it. Re gretful admission came yesterday in the announcement that Billie Burke will succeed to tlie Christmas pre mieres at the Empire theater, where Miss Adams trod the hoards for nearly two decades and where she intro duced Sir James Barrie's "Peter Pan,” written especially for her. Florena Ziegfeld, jr„ announced yesterday that Miss Burke, his wife, who had a Christmas premiere in "Rose Brier” at the Empire last Christmas, will appear next Christ mas in a play that Sir James will write for her. A series of five Christ mas premieres is being arranged for her by her husband. Grudging confession that Mis3 Adams will not return to the stage world, she made so real, came last week when she failed to appear at the anniversary dinner that was held hack-stage of the. Empire and none, though virtually all there were inti mately acquainted with the theatrical world, knew' her address or where find her. Maude Adams came to Omaha dur Three Things Should be considered when you buy grapefruit: Has it , abundant juice? Has it a fine flavor? Has it a ripe, tender pulp?

Many people find harm to health in the seeming friend liness of coffee and tea. They first notice the unfriendly side of their table drink in sleeplessness and nerve irritation—signs that health is being disturbed by the drug, caffeine, which these beverages contain. It pays to face the facts when health is in volved. It's a good plan to look for the cause of restless nights and nerve-fagged days. Postum is a safe and satisfying mealtime drink for everybody. It meets every demand of taste, and it con tains nothing which can disturb health. The children may safely share it with you—as many cups as desired, without risk of disagreeable after-effects. There's charm without harm in Postum—the famous cereal beverage. Your grocer sells Postum In two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) prepared in stantly in the cup by the addition of boil ing water.
