The Itching Torture
Of Skin Disease

1t will not be so difficult to
rid yourself of skin diseases If
you will but realize that these
troubles originate in the blood.
and if you expect real substan-
tial relief you must treat them
through the blood. Millions of
tiny disease germs find lodg-
ment in the blood, where they
multiply rapidly and attack
some part of the surface Of the
skin where there can be no re-
sistance.
Realize, then. that you can
know no real and genuine relief
until these germs are eradi-
Gated from your blood.
SIS. has given great salts
faction in the treatment of skin
diseases. because it is such a
thorough blood purifier. 1t
cleanses the blood Of all accu-
mutations and thus frees it of
the germs that attack the skin.
Why not use this intelligent
method of treatmentp Begin

relief. SIS. is sold by all

the average person afflicted

ture.

Mr.. Taft Wanted
As PencemQker

The movement in the Senate to
petition Mr.. Taft to- enter the scene
as a peacemaker and engineer COM
promise upon the league comes as
consequence of Mr.. Taft's con-
sistent support Of the principle Of
the league from nonpartisan view
point. He has not hesitated to blame
Mr.. Wilson or the Republican lead
ers OF the Senate as he deemed just.
His latest utterance, an editorial
in "The Philadelphia Public LEDGER"
is chiefly practical plea to the
Republicans to take the initiative
and obtain compromise, thus re-
moving the league issue from the
1920 campaign. His argument is as
follows: '''.'se
"From the Republican partisan stand
point, the reasons for compromise and
ratification Of the treaty are strong.
The prospects Of Republican victory in
the next Presidential campaign are. ex-
cellent. Indeed, this is what has made
the bitter enders so truculent and
boastful. The anti-league meetings
which Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Borah sad-
dressed were very enthusiastic and
were mistakenly supposed to indicate
strong general opposition to the treaty

his hands Of the treaty, Bryan has
been deputized to aid in the settle
ment." 1t may be, thinks "The
Boston Globe" chat he has only
come for this end, but there is
ground for the belief that he has not
entirely relinquished his interest In
the Democratic councils" There
may be some significance in the
summons Of Bryan's paper, "The
Commoner," for the Democratic
aspirants to advance and give the
cpuntersign. Mr.. Wilson, con-
tinues "The Globe" has led the
Democrats since 1912, but since his
illness the country has been without
leader, and it would not be sur
prising for Mr.. Bryan to decide that
his own services were necessary to
marshal the Democrats for the COM
ing campaign.

nitely sustained. There is much rea-
son to believe that they will Decline"
Relief may come through natural
recovery from the effects of war
and economy and cooperation by thr
public, but few papers hope for any
results from heroic and spectacular
attacks on the profiteers. The stu
ton, reminds "The Kansas City
STAR" is not one for St. Georges
methods:
"Probably it would be too much to
ask of our political dragon slayers to
come out and tell US frankly that what
the world needs is production and not
tournaments. The form of entertain
ment the world needs just now is the
interesting and absorbing one of work

quantity Of the things the world needs

No Surrender

Inc President was defeated in his
plea to the country for approval before
ne went to Paris. At every Congress
slopai election since that time the peo-
pie have spoken strongly against the
proposal to surrender American sover-
eighty to foreign tribunal. In spite
OF the pressure for party regularity
only small minority Of the Senate
voted to approve the treaty without
change.
There can be. no surrender to the
minority now. If Senator's are contem-
plating anything SO foolish they will
invite the reputation Of their con-
stituents. This country will not stand
for minority rule"
Similarly "rhe Pittsburgh Ca
zette-Times' declares that there
is no possibility Of compromise.
Either we agree to surrender to
the league authority over our army
and navy in certain cases, or we re-
fuse to give a pledge that we will
not Keep" However, "let the Presi-
dent attempt to draw q reservation

front that resembles in any manner the
death gurgle of dragon. If there has
been anything at all to indicate that
Mr.. Palmer and the dragon had even
seen each other, it is distant commo-
zion suggestive of a gentleman in sheet
iron trying to climb tree"
Mr.: Palmer is dubbed "a dis
credited soothsayer" by "The Buff
falo Express" He has advised the
American people not to be too much
shocked if a drop in prices should
occur between January and
March !, but the American people
would be more sanguine if previous
prophecies Of this kind had been
borne OUT 1t is wondered if, be-
hind his confident statements,
Palmer has. much faith in his own
efforts. "The Des Moines Register"
takes us back to last August, when
he predicted relief in the course of
thirty or sixty days, but prices only
rose, and have done so ever since
SO that, to most of the American
people, "the curve Of living costs

These meetings merely indicated the
intense. purpose and interest of pro-
Germans andqextreme Irish revolution
lists to beat the league.
Should the league issue be projected
into the next national campaign, the
Republicans would be seriously divided
over the issue. There would not be
enough of dissentient Republicans to
defeat the Republican candidate for the
Presidency;l but the issue would mod
crate the party enthusiasm and pre-
vent the overwhelming Republican vote
which must be had to promote Repub-
lican purpose and plans.

MIR. Wilson in a Hole

that President Wilson, having put the
Senate and the country into hole by
his peculiar treatment of the. issue,
has disclosed his inability to. get out of
that same hole. 1t would be equally
unkind to suggest that MIR. Bryan,
surveying the impossible predicament
in which the President has landed, has
in mind way out which would leave
him in control Of the Democratic stu
alton. Yet, whether it is kind or other
wise, Mr.. Bryan's part is clear, and it
Is plain enough that he thinks that
Wilsonian policies have degenerated to
the point where he is called upon to
intervene. ~ ..s
"Mr. Bryan, to be fair to him. is not
the only Democrat who has been run
ming around in circles in the, effort to
save something out Of the mess into
which the treaty has fallen under the
Presidents leadership"
"The Wichita Beacon" (Rep.) also
believes that Mr.. Bryan has come
to demand new deal and break

wants his party to face realities and
get back to business. After all, he
is the obvious Democratic candir

The Republican Latest

The latest addition to the collec-

Professor Butler, the president Of
Columbia University. Republican
papers agree that he may be very
good man, and "the more the mer-
rier," especially since this latest
"favorite SON. is from New York.
"The Hartford Courant" compares
the list Of Republican candidates,
Wood, Lowden, Coolidge, Butler
and Harding, to the Democrats,
McAdoo, Palmer, Bryan, ETC., to
show the superiority Of the former
over the latter. But few
believe that Butler, in spite Of his
virtues, will be nominated. "The
