Bryan llrires U. S. to Call Halt on Rum Smuggling Commoner Advocates That Government Enforce Pnv liihition Law Beyond 3-Mile Limit. By GEORGE F. \I TH1I-.K. \\ a.tiinxtnn (iirrruiimidpnt The Omaha Bee. Washington, Fel). 1L—(Special.)— Bi ealilng up the. sw™ms of rum smugglers outside the three-mile limit Is advocated in a statement made public here tonight by former Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan. Tlie “Prince of Peace” assumes a militant attitude and urges that the authorities set about enforcing the law courageously. “Prohibition Is of no value,” he said, “unless It is enforced. If we are going to enforce prohibition, we might just as well take up the w-ork courageously and we will do it when ever those in authority shill resolve, that the law Is to be enforced, both as against those vwho hover about the three-mile limit and those who bring their store of liquor into our har bors. * “What reliance," asks Mr. Bryan, “can be placed upon any nation that puts its interest in the liquor traffic above its respect for the laws of a friendly nation? Would a foreign shipowner he allowed to throw up an 0. island at some shallow spot just out side the^hree-mlle limit and open a bar there? The three-mile limit was Intended for the protection of legiti mate trade, not for the protection of criminals. "It is worse than mockery fop the authorities to retrain inactive while this open defiance goes on every day. “Suppose our nation prohibited the I sale and carrying of firearms under the American flag. Would the majors of Europe be permitted to open up gun shoos along our coasts and seli to smugglers? Alcohol is more of a menace than a pistol or gun in the lianas of a sober man. “It is time to quit looking for ob jections and begin enforcement of the law in earnest.” Commenting upon the right of the government to fix-the conditions un der which foreign ships shall enter American ports, Mr. Bryan says: “The right of the United States to fix the terms and conditions upon which foreign ships can enter our harbors can hardly he disputed, unless a nation loses irs sovereignty when it goes dry. After a struggle of near ly 50 years the nation. In obedience lo an aroused conscience, prohibited the manufacture and sale of Intoxi cating liquors as a beverage. This law extended not only to the laud of the United States but to American 'ships. The United Stales has a flght to protect its homes from the invasion of alcohol as much as It has the right' to exclude the slave trade and exclude piracy. “No nation would have attempted to force slave trade upon the United States after it was abolished. It is ! *' hardly likely that a slave ship sailing j under another flag would have been i permitted to crime in and out of our ]‘ort3 with slaves aboard, even though the shipmasters were to agree that Old Fashioned Fruit Cake —with the rare flavor of de licious raisins and piquant spicc. —an almost juicy fruit cake, just the kind you like— Get it from a bake shop or confectioner, made with ten der luscious Sun-Maid Raisins You can serve it often when you can buy such good fruit cake and save baking at home.

Mothers Know That Genuine Castoria % A Quarter Century Of Service % *‘lf a man write a better book I or preach a better sermon or build a better mouse-trsp Tho ht live in the depths of the forest The world will beet a path to his door." —EMERSON 25 years ago a small druggist—in a small town—discovered a new way—an ‘‘external" way—to treat colds. So Vicks was born. And for a quarter of a century, in ever in creasing numbers, the world has beaten a path to its door. Until today more than 17 million jars go out yearly to serve the people of this land. Avoid Influenza—Grip—Pneumonia How To Apply Vicks To Help Avoid These Infections .How To Use Vicks In Case You Are Attacked DEEP, grippy colds—frequently leading into pneumonia—have been unusually prevalent this winter. Some authorities insist that they are a form of influenza, not so virulent as the influenza during the first epidemic, though they are worse than ordinary colds. Vick* As A Preventive. Mojjt medical authorities now agree that thes^“t roubles are germ diseases—commonly spread by breathing in the germs. If the system is in good shape —the membrane of the air passages in a healthy condition— these germs do not ordinarily breed. Keep a little Vicks rubbed up the nostrils at all times, particularly when exposed to crowds. At night melt Vicks in a spoon and inhale the vapors, or, better still, use Vicks in a teakettle ns directed below. This treatment helps to keep the air passages in good condition. The Danger li From Pneumonia. The chief danger lie* in tile development of pneumonia. What is needed therefore is something to decrease the congestion of the lung*. For this purpose there is nothing like a rubefacient or counter-irritant, as witness the use of blisters, poultices and plasters for many generations. This irrita tion reddens the skin—draws the blood from the congested parts to the surface; the cir culation is improved; there is a sensation of warmth and the possibility of pneumonia is greatly lessened. A "Quick” Rubefacient Needed. The value of this counter-irritant effect is greatly increased if it is produced quickly. Nearly every family has Its favorite method onion poultices, turpentine stupes, mus tard plasters and poultices of various kinds all are good. A very simple method is to apply towels wrung out in hot water, ns hot as the patient can stand. This not only reddens the skirl quickly, hut also opens the pores so that more Vreks can he absorbed. Some, how ever, prefer to use an ordinary mustard plaster, as the reddening effect lasts longer. Get Skin Thoroughly Red. Whatever method is used, the application should he applied over the throat and chest until the skin is thoroughly reddened. In very deep colds, the sides and especially the back from the middle of the shoulder blades to a point just above the waist should also be treated. The patient should be given a good pur gative and, if convenient, a hot mustard footbath for ten minutes—one tablespoon of mustard to a gallon of water. Than Massage Willi Vicks. After the skin is thoroughly reddened it should he dried lightly ami immediately the patient should he given a brisk massage with Vicks all over the parts. Continue this for five minutes. This increases the counter irritant effect. Then apply Vicks thickly over all the parts; that is, spread it on as you would a poultice about one sixteenth of an inch thick or more and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Vicks' Double Action. Thus applied Vicks has a double action, hirst, Vicks is so made that the body heat cradually releases the ingredients in the form of vapors. The more Vicks applied. the stronger "•III be the va pors and the longer these vapors will last. The night clothing should always be loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel. These va pors, being lighter than air. rise up from the cheat and, if the bed clothing is properly arranged, pass by the nose and mouth and Hre thus in haled with each breath, carry ing the medication directly through the air passages to the lungs. The second action of k icks is external — by absorption through and stimulation of the skin. Repeat Treatment. When the vapors begin to lose their strength, fn It k irks should be applied over the throat and chest. This to keep up the continuous supply of vapors. When the redness of the skin dies out, all the Vicks remaining should Ice wiped off and the en tire treatment repeated. That is. the hot wet towels or fmistard plasters should be used until the skin is again thoroughly red dened, then massage with k icks, spread on thickly and cover with hot flannels, just as previously done. Steam and Vapor Method •Sometimes when the patient is badly choked cVp, the vapors from the application on the ohe t nre not sufficient to make the breathing ca-ier. In thi e eases drop a table -pnonful of Vicks into a kettle of bulling water and allow the patient to inhale the warm steam and vupors combined for about 10 minute . I)o thi“ several times a day if needed. Keep the water boiling and put in additional k icks whenever the vapors de crease, Put. a sheet over the patient and the teakettle, making a kind of a tent. Take no chances with these grippy colds. Remember, k irks most be used frre(y to be effective and always call a doctor.
