Pneumonia Menace

This dreadful sickness has
claimed thousands of victims every
winter. 1t usually is an after eff
feet Of cold and naturally is most
common at this time of year when
colds are prevalent.
People are careless. They think
they have to have colds and so take
them as a matter of course. But
colds indicate q serious situation.
They show that the lungs, kidneys
and skin pores are being OverwOrked
to dispose of poisons created by fer
menting food-waste due to cOnstipa-
ton. If they only would keep the
bowels active and open this condi-
ton would not exist and the danger
would be vastly less.

LEAGUE PLANS
MEET APPROVAL
OF HITCHCOCK
New Institution Not "MOn-
ster" Nor "HeIpIeSs Sewing
Circle" Predicted, Says
Nebraska Senator.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, chairman Of
the senate foreign relations com
mittee, in a formal statement TO-
night said the proposed constitu-
ton Of the league Of nations inn
pressed him very favorably." He
declared that il was mot the mon
ster that those who have attacked
the plan predicted" nor was it "the
helpless sewing circle that one
sneering critic predicted it might
be-"
Aside from Senator Hitchcock,
senator's declined to make formal
comment on the league constitution
until they had more time in which
to study it and most of them were
most guarded in their observations
in cloak room and Office discussion,
The plan was read with the great
est interest, however, and there was
evidence that there would be free
discussion in the senate beginning
within a day or two.
Has Element of Permanently.
Senator Hitchcock said control Of
the executive council, to which
would be entrusted the real power
Of the league, would always be in
the hands Of the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy and ia
pan. This element Of permanency
and strength in the executive coun-
Gil he said, is "a highly important
feature"
"In some respects" said the sena-
tor, "the covenants, which nations
make when they join the league, re.
semble existing arbitration or peace
treaties. They agree never to go
to war without submitting differ
enees to arbitration. the arbitrators

not even then for three months after
the decision. This pledge guarau-

Another important covenant is
the agreement to make reductions

"While this draft Of the constitu-
ton is not final it constitutes, in
my opinion the greatest internation-
al document ever produced. The
nations that enter into this league
get an enormous benefit from its
relief from enormous expenditure
for war"
The articles dealing with arbitra-
ton and disarmament were read on
the house floor during consideration
Of the army aviation bill by Repre-
sentative Harrison of Mississippi,
democrat, and were greeted with
scattering applause.
