NOT ALARMING
Despite the bodeful clamoring of League op posers that the great United
States will lose its precious independence and become in some sort a pliant
tool and accomplice of the scheming diplomats of Kurope if the treaty is
accepted in its original form, the rejection of all but one of the four reser
vations so far considered by the senate body suggests that the undesirable
prospect is apparently frightening no one, unless it be those among the small
group of republicans who first discovered the allegedly deadly flies in the
League ointment.
After all the frenzied denunciations uttered by this wonderfully dis
cerning bunch, it would seem that not even the most thick pated Senator in
congress could fail to realize the frightful; danger of accepting the treaty
without first subjecting it to a liberal doctoring and shearing to remove the
snares which the puissant I^odgc, the ambitious Hiram and others have as
sured their less endowed compatriots are concealed beneath the fair seem
ing provisions composing that seemingly beneficent document. After having
the cunningly concealed pitfalls laid hare before their very eyes and after
having their auditory nerves strained to the point of debility by the warn
ing floods of oratory loosed by the self annointed seers on the republican
side, it is passing strange that every man jack In the senate has not joined
the chorus of treaty denunciation and lent his assistance to the noble and
vociferous effort to save the country made by the several republican gentle
men whose Solomonesque discernment has enabled them to spot the hidden ,
dangers and reveal their portent. One would think that even the benighted
democrats who accept the Wilsonian dictuins as the last word in earthly
wisdom would conceive at least some apprehension over the revelation that
unreserved acceptance of the treaty will permit others to monkey with our
independence, drag our sons, willy nilly, off to foreign wars, etc—even tho
the mighty Woodrow has himself assured them that it is “all right."
It appears, however, that there are few out3?de of the Argus-eyed
Txxlge. the perspicacious Cummins, the discerning Simmons, the aspiring
gentleman from California and a few others of lessor eminence, who are suffi
ciently alarmed at the dangers to hasten to the task of rendering the treaty
innocuous to America by the simple process of shattering the traps with an
amendment and nailing a reservation over the holes where some venemous
danger may lurk concealed. Rejection of three out of the four reser
vations so far presented seems a plain indication that the calamity howling
of the Lodge group has left no deep impression on the minds of the njajorlty
and also suggests that the treaty is due to receive a fair hearing and a
square deal. This is as it should be.
Signs are not wanting that a large portion of the treaty opposition is
simply an attempt on the part of certain republicans to play politics without
regard to consequences. The dis|K>sition to adopt a course of rule or ruin
with respect to tin* League, of Nations is also so palpably apparent in the
nttitude of many of its opponents that it is a matter for sincere congratulation
that the bulk <>f the senate membership has not permtted itself to- he stam
peded l>y the ill sustained objections of the opposing elements.
Regardless of defects, the league should not *>e discarded until it is
proven to be unalterably inmical to our interests—something that the re
publican opposers have so far failed to do despite five months of continuous
denunciation.

Doctor Says Ordinary Nuxatod Iron
Will Make Nervous Rundown Peo
ple 100% Stronger in Two
Week’s Time \it Many
NEW YORK, N. Y.—"One glance
la enough to tell which people have
iron in their blood,” said Dr. E. Sauer,
a Boston physician who has studied
widely botii in this country and
in Great European medical Institu
tions, in a recent discourse. They are
the onee that do and dare. The others
are in the weakling class. Sleepless
nights spent worrying over supposed
ailments, constant dosing with habit
forming drugs and narcotics for ner
vous weakness, stomach, liver or kid
ney disease anil useless attempts to
brace up with strong coffee or other
stimulants are what keep them suffer
ing and vainly longing to be string.
Their reel trouble is lack of iron in the
blood. Without iron the blood has no
power to change food into living tis
sue and therefore, nothing you eat
does you any good; you don’t get the
strength out of it. The moment iron
is supplied the multitude of danger
ous symptoms disappear. I have seen
dozens of nervous, rundown people
who are ailing all the time, double
and eveu triple their strength and en
durance and entirely get rid of every
sign of dyspepsia, liver and other
trouble in from ten to f urteen days*
time simply by taking iron in the
proper form. And this, after they had
in some cases been doctoring for
month without any benefit.
If you are not strong or well you
owe it to yourself to make the follow
ing test: See how long you oan work
or how far you can walk wlthcut be
coming tired. Next take two five
grain tablets of ordinar) nuxated Iron
three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Than test your strength
again and see for yourself how much
you have gained. There Is nothing
like good old Iron to put color In your
cheeks and sound, healthy &lesb on
your bones. But you must take iron
in a form that can be easily absorbsd
and assimilated like nuxated Iron 1
you want It to do you any good,
otherwise It may prove warse than
NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. E. Sauer, Is one of the
newer organic iron compounds. Un
like the older inorganic Iron products.
It is easily assimilated, does not in
jure the toetii, make them black, nor
upset the stomach; on the oontrary. It
is a most potent remedy, lu nearly
all forms of indigestion, s well ss for
nervous, run-down conditions. The
Manufacturers have such great sonfi
dence in Nuxated Iron that they of
