1t May Cost a Precious Life to
Find Out by Experiment.

4 z
The heart Of every user of to-
bacco bears double burden. 1t
does it's allotted task and then fights
nicotine for supremacy. AS long
as the heart wins he lives; when it
loses, he dies, but before the final
victory of nicotine you pass through
many stages of decline and decay
and suffer many pangs. Hearts
are like human beings-some are
stronger than others, therefore,
some hearts will stand more to-
bacco than others, but there is a
limit to what any heart can stand.
The man who puts this additional
strain on his heart a dozen times
a day by smoking cigarettes, a
pipe, or cigars--or chewing tobac-
co.'s taking a madman's chance
with health and life to lose and
nothing to win but the chance that
he may lose them. He Is indulg-
| ing in costly habit at the ex-
pense of precious health. Ask any
doctor anywhere, and he will tell
you that using tobacco Is injurious
and that it is far better to quit the
habit than to experiment to find
how much tobacco your heart Will
stand without serious results.
But the thought of quitting is
unpleasant to most men-reven to
those who know that tobacco in
lures them and to really qui'
takes more will power than they
have and causes more SUFFERING
than they can voluntarily endure
To quit the habit make It easy foi
yourself by getting Nicotol tablets

H.-How the League Is Organized ana
Operated

fore resort to arms
(1) If any serious dispute arises
hatween members of the league
which they recognize as sultaple
.(?) for arbitration the members
agree to submit the matter TO arpl-
tration.
f2) The members Of the league
agree to submit to the council ror
Investigation and report any as
mite which Is not submitted to ar
bitration.
f3) The members of the league
agree not to resort to war over
such dispute until three months az
ter the decision by the arbitrators
or after the report of the council.
AS the council has six months IN
which to make it's report and as
the arbitrators would probably
take as long, this would delay war
at least nine months.
@. How would this provision
have operated in 1914?
a The crisis leading to the war
became acute about July l, l9lf.
War was begun on August l. IN
der the conditions imposed by the
,aapue If could not have begun un-
til March /, 1915. AS March Is
tha season of slack food supply,
and the central powers would
nrobably have waited fol- their
harvest before attacking, they
| would doubtless have delayed ac-
tion until July or August, 19l5--
a period of one year from the oe-
ginning of the crisis.
