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

Compound
Washington, D.C.—“Lydia E. Pink

irom an operation
which a physician
said I would have
to have for a very
bad case of female
trouble. My sys

down fort woyears
after my little girl
was born. Then I
read of your won
derful medicine
and decided to try
it. I could hardly
uragone toot after the other, and af
ter taking six bottles of the Vegetable
Compound I felt like a new woman.
I now do all my house work, also wash
ing and ironing, and do not know what
real trouble is. My health is fine, and
I weigh Impounds. When I started
taking it I weighed 97pounds. I gladly
recommend LydiaE. Pinkham's Veg

suffering from female trouble or ia
run down. You may use this testimo

Make-Believe StageBecomes
Reality for Nebraska Girl
Miss Who ‘'Played Show"’ at
Home Appears Here on
Orpheum Bill.
Once upon a time—only a few years
ago. in fact—a farmer's daughter at
Alvo, Neb., played before a mirror
that she was an actress, before a
make believe audience and upon a
make believe stage.
"Gladys is going to be an actress,"
vouchsafed the mother one day at
table,' while the father grimly re
signed hfhtsMf. He wanted his daugh
ter to be a school teacher. v
Sunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. I,
B. Appleman of Alvo occupied scats
at the Orpheum theater where they
observed their little Gladys as Nita
Leslie in the farcical skit, "Parlor,
Bedroom and Bath."
This young Nebraska ingenue is
Gladys Mann on the program and in
private life she is Gladys Appleman, a
Nebraska farm girl.
"There isn’t much that is thrilling
or romantic In my career as yet,” she
said Sunday afternoon as she was
starting to Intake up for the opening
performance.
“I attended the Sacred Heart con
vent in bntaha," she continued. “I
graduated from Nebraska university
in 1918 and then 1 directed high
school plays in Nebraska and Iowa
for a year through the university ex
tension department. In that manner
I saved money and went to Los An
geles. I was lucky in obtaining an
engagement as ingenue with Harry
Carson Clark, who was appearing

Rotters'.”
fcthe showed an autographed photo
graph of Air. Reid.
After appearing on the Pacific coast
with Mr. Reid and Air. Clark, she
filled an engagement with the Tra
hern stock company in California.
This is her first season in vaudeville.
Next year she expects to appear in
her own vaudeville act.

Underground Streams May
Give Nebraska Cities Power
l.ineoln. Neb., Feb. 12.—Millions of
dollars worth of wasted energy will
be harnessed and put to work in the
vicinity of College View and Nebraska
City if the plans of business men
of those communities do not go a'gley.
Engineers employed by citizens of
College View have reported that dis
triet is underlaid by swift subterra
nean streams of pure water. It is
not impossible, the engineers said,
to harness these underground cur
rents and convert their energy into
sufficient power to light every city
and run every trolley car in the state.

five in quick succession. Self s pistol
with five discharged cartridges lay in
the snow beside him. Police worked
all night trying to find the slayers.
Middleton, a member of a leading

*‘lf a man write a better book

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.
