 ARESKIN DISEASES

come from a germ which is in the blood. You must remember that the skin is fed by the blood. and these disease germs find some weak point on the surface of your skin where they multiply and set up their local habitation. This takes on the form of irritation, pimples, scaly rough ness, redness, sometimes sores, each of which has some medical term un- der the classification of skin diseases
 The itching and burning and irri- tation produce so much discomfort and suffering that you are willing to resort to anything for relief. But the salves and ointments and washes and lotions that you use are only temporary in their relief, and you never yet knew of case being cured by them.
 Why? Just as explained! The source of the trouble must be reached. The eczema, scrofula, tet- ter, pimples, blotchy, irritated skin are afflicted with come from a germ eliminated, driven out of your blood. And you cannot reach the blood with remedies applied to the surface.

Itching and Burning Ofttimes Almost Unbearable in its
 Intensity

On the lips of those afflicted with skin disease is the eternal question, 'EHow can I find relief from itching and burning and fiery irritation that keeps me in such constant torture?"
 This pitiful appeal will continue to come from those who have been mis-. led into the entirely erroneous method of using treatment that is at best only palliative and can have no curative ef- feet because it does not reach the source of the trouble.
 In severe cases where a person is suffering intense pain that is unbear- able, physicians find it necessary to administer an opiate to give tempo rary relief. They do not, however, expect to cure the pain in this way, but seek at once to locate it's cause and direct their treatment at it's source.
 A fire may start in the basement of 2 house, and the flames break out through the roof Water thrown on the roof will not extinguish the fire, but the intelligent fireman will To- cate the source of the fire and soon put it out.
 Just so with disease. Tha intelli- gent physician will tell you that the place to stop any disease is where it starts. Find the location of it's origin, or it's starting point, then you can ap- ply treatment that will get results.
 So-called skin diseases are improp- erly treated in nine cases out of ten, which is one reason why so many people think them incurable. The real source of the trouble is over looked.
 Whenever you see person with a clear, ruddy complexion, with a healthy skin entirely free from pin- pies or blotches, you may be sure that their blood is free of all imp, sies

QUITE SATISFACTORY.

The kaiser made a peace speech the other day. 1t
was in response to an address delivered at a meeting IN
celebration of the conclusion of peace" with. Ukrania.
The emperor was in good form. He told his hearers that
peace had been concluded with people with whom the
whipped, that they admitted it, and that in the status
peace. The German government had magnanimously
granted peace, and now friendship existed between the
two peoples. = @sass -. - .a#
1t is on that basis. said the kaiser, that peace must
be concluded with other nations. I'VE desire to live in
friendship with neighborhood peoples" said he, but the
victory Of German arms must first be recognized"
That is the most satisfactory statement that has come
that has characterized most Of his other utterances. Ger
many must whip her adversaries, and they must ADMIT it.
Then there may be peace. Naturally, peace concluded
under those conditions will be a German peace, one in
which the German ideals will be recognized, and in which
a triumphant Germany will be left free to continue the
imposition Of her peculiar plans on the world. ..
The statement is satisfactory because it is inca pable
Of misconstruction and because it sets forth correctly the
real issue in this war. Germany must conquer or Ger
mise. There is no middle ground on which an adjustment
is possible. Germany must whip the rest Of us, or we must
whip Germany. That is the whole issue in a nutshell.
And there is nothing for US to do but go at it and keep
at it until Germany is whipped, until she knows that sne
is whipped, and until she is 40 badly and hopelessly whip
ped that she will be willing to consent to the only cendi-
tons Of peace which will make this even a tolerable world
to live in.

THEY DON'T FEEL IT

We live and learn. Even the people Of New York.
who have at times appeared to assume that they had
learned all that there was to know, are adding to their
store Of knowledge. How many times have the eastern
press and people hcaped ridicule on us Of the west for
qualifying the statement of an occasional low reading of
the thermometer with the statement that Its so dry
that you don't feel it," And yet New York has discovered
that the thing that she has ridiculed is a truth, and that
temperature taken alone is no trustworthy indicator of
weather conditions. Witness this from the New York
Times:
Great numbers of people, on coming out of their
homes yesterday morning, at once had the feeling that
tho day was particularly fine and the temperature en-
tirely comfortable. Yet the thermometer stood only a
fov degrees above zero, and that, for New York city, is
cold weather-weathcr SO cold that in most winters we
call it severe.
1T was merely in contrast with preceding days that
yesterday seemed almost springlike. We have an iuea
that our temperature sense is fairly acute, but 1t is not.
and it is still less accurate than keen. When the Their
'nometer marks below freezing we are cold if it has been
warmer and warm if it has been colder, and always our
rea1ion to a given temperature is at least as much to
Kind. and humidity as it is to the simple condition which
the thermometer records. That instrument pays no at
tention at all either to movements of the air or to Ns
content of humidity. 1t is, therefore, a poor measure
of temperature from the human, standpoint, and only
very roughly does it tell whether We are to be happy or
unhappy out Of doors.
For us, too, wont and custom count for much in
this matter. We read not long ago of Antartic explor-
es who found their outer clothing oppressive and threw
it off when the thermometer rose to 20 degrees below
zero, and in the southern states people begin to SILVER
and fret long before the mercury in their thermometers
