LEAGUE WOULD
TIE GOVERNMENT
HAND and FOOT
Maj. John Maher Says Ratifi.
cation Without Changes is
Endorsement of the
Shantupg Affair.

Lincoln, July l7.-Maj. John G.
Maher has sent the following letter
to former Lieut.. Gov. Edgar
Howard, covering the present situa-
ton as regards the league OF
nations.
u have been reading your editor
ials in opposition to certain features
of the league of nations, and l
heartily agree in the main with what
you say. As view it, if the league
is approved as now presented be-
fore the senate, it will be endors-
ing the Shantung affair, and will in
deed be black page in our nations
history.
II feel this is time for all men
and women who believe in keeping
aloof from entangling alliances in
Europe, to get together and disprove
of any attempt to entangle our gov
ernment with European or Asiatic
governments. If this league be
ratified without amendment, it will
tie our government hand and foot
to the imperialism of Japan and
England, and we will no longer be
free to stand for liberty, justice and
right in the world.
Urge Nation to Protect Spells.
1T seems to me that the govern
ments who were our associates in
the war, at it's close, attempted to
grab as much of the spoils as pos
sible, and after getting what they
wanted, they urge this nation to
enter INTO an agreement to protect
them and their spoils. Let US not
forget that our forefathers left
Europe to escape the persecution of
kings, and we should be slow to
enter into any covenant with these
governments whereby we agree to
send our troops anywhere in the
world by the vote of any European
or Asiatlc country.
1--WE have enough over here to
attend to at this time. Let the ex-
ecutive, in all its branches, get it

How Much More Tobacco
Will My Heart Stand?
A Vital Question for Every Man Who Smokes
or Chews to Answer

to most men-even to those who know that
tobacco injuries them-and to really quit
takes more will power than they have and
causes more suffering than they can vol
unfairly endure. To quit the habit, make
it easy for yourself by getting Nicotol
tablets and taking them as directed. The
habit really quits you and its departure is
pleasure equal to it's indulgence.
If you want to know how much easier it
is to quit the habit with Nicotol than with
out it, go twenty-four hours without to-
bacco and note what an effort it costs you,
then begin using it as usual and take,
Nicotol tablets. At the end of a week dis
continue smoking or chewing for day
and it is probable you will have no desire
to resume. At least your desire will be.
greatly diminished and another week or
two should make it not only possible. but
a pleasure, to quit.
Manufacturer Note: Nicotol is sold under the
positive guarantee that 1t is not injurious; that 1t
contains no habit forming drugs: that 1t will help
any man to throw off the tobacco habit. and that
druggist will refund the entire purchase price
IL 1t fails. 1t is dispensed In Omaha under this
guaranty by the Sherman 4 Mcconnell the Beaton
and the Merritt Stores, and other good druggists
