Hoc the president bore up under the continual r.lraln of his taj-k at this time with nil the other I. rnands upon him incident to his iat portion, was truly a mystery. Sometimes when I went up to .see him, in the evening', he looked ut-
way the president s-tood for a full hearing of the Chinese by the council of ten; and a notable presentation of the Chinese case was t;iven by Mr. Wellington Koo. On thf oth-r hand, it was he, beyond any other, who Has most anxious tn

I fancied sometimes that he

fore, on April T.'! th.- hiph council had been hopiessly deadlocked on the Italian question. The president had issued his bold messape to the world regarding the dlspositon of Fiume (as describetl in another article) and the Italian delegation departed from Paris with the expectation that their withdrawal would

Hut the Chinese as a whole lacked experience; for the scarcity of men in China, educated in the west has made It necessary to pick joung college graduates for highly responsible diplomats positions; and they are not yet the- equals in experience to the trained and very able Japanese. The Japanese felt strongly regarding the defeat in their effort to obtain the racial recognition clause in the covenant, and at once, in some of their extreme newspapers, there began a sharp attack on Pres't Wilson as the cause of their discomiiture. The Osaki Malnichi Deupos. for example, referred to the president's "dangerous justice" and charged him with having a "female demon" a term vividly denunciatory to the oriental mind. Whatever happened at the conference, the president had to take the lion's share of the blame for it. OetorniiiKMl to Win Seiend. Ilaving lost out in their first great contention the Japanese camo to the settlement of their second demand with a feeling of irritation but with added determination. The Japanese delegates were the least expressive of any at the conference; they said the least; but they were the firmest of any in hewing to the line of their interests nnd their agreements. It must not be forgotten also. In all fairness, that the Japanese delegates, not less than the British, French and American, had their own domestic political problems, and opposition, and that there was a powerful demand in Japan that while all the other nations were securing some return for their losses and sacrifices in the war, Japan should also get some return. At the same time Japan was in a stronger position than any other of the allies except the United States. She had been little hurt, and much strengthened by the war.

Will Never Come From Salves, Ointments, or Other Local Treatment. Usually those who continue to suffer from stubborn ailments are those who refuse absolutely to heed the teachings of medical science. New discoveries are being constantly made, and those who fail to take advantage of the wonderful accomplishments of men of science are standing in their own light, and will continue under the handicap of disease. A million gallons of lotions, ointments, salves, or other forms of local treatment will not give any real permanent relief from skin diseases. Get this fact firmly in your mind, and
there is hope for you. If you have ever been afflicted with eczema, tetter, boils, eruptions, or other similar skin irritations you can appreciate the real terrifying discomfort that comes from these disorders. And what ycu are looking for is not merely temporary, palliative relief that may cause" the terrible burning and itching to abate for awhile, but real genuine relief that shakes off the shackles of the disease, and restores the skin to its former healtfty condition. But your eczema, tetter, boils pimples, ache, scaly skin erup
tions, and burning fiery irrita
tions that cause so much dis
comfort by their terrifying itch-j feel that
ing, come from a tiny disease renn in vour blood, which mul
tiplies by the millions. These! writing to Chief Medical Ad
the skin and set up their attack, and if you have ever had any form of these skin disorders, you know what real torture is. Follow the teachings of science, and you will learn that the skin is fed by the blood, and naturally, then, the condition of your skin will depend upon the condition of your blood. If the blood becomes infested with millions of tiny disease germs that attack the skin, then the fiery irritation and intense itching will remain with you until these germs are attacked at their source and removed from the blood. Genuine relief, therefore, can only be expected from a treatment that goes right to the seat of the trouble, and strikes at its cause. Such a remedy is S. S- S., the reliable old blood purifier that kills the germs of disease, and sends a new supply of rich red blood coursing through the veins. S. S. S. has been used successfully in some of the worst cases of eczema and other skin disorders, and it can be relied upon to cleanse the blood thoroughly of the germs which cause these complaints. S. S. S. is also a splendid tonic and systembuilder, and it builds up and adds new vigor to the whole system. Go to your drug store and get a bottle of S. S. S. today, and begin the right treatment for skin diseases. Then if vou
vour case requires
special medical advice, you can obtain same without cost, by
