An interesting sidelight on the League of Nations
controversy is found in a statement issued by the League
to Enforce Peace, of which former President Taft has
long been president and active leader.
It had been reported that there was considerable dis
satisfaction and rebellion in the organization, owing to

WHAT KATY REALLY DID.
At last v. e know what Katy did. False, fleeting, per
jured Katy! Of whom Dr. Holmes complained years ago,
''Thou sayest an undisputed thing in such a solemn way!"
All these years she has borne the reputation of a song
stress, when as a matter of fact all she did was to rub
her wings together and make a pale green noise.
The movie camera operated by Dr. Raymond Ditmars,
of the New York zoo, is responsible for proving how false
ly Katy posed as Mary, queen of garden song. Patiently
he watched and waited, camera set for hours at a time to
make the slow-moving film which tells the secret.
This is only one of the bits of nature lore which his
camera has betrayed, from a faithful record of the antics
of a nine-foot cobra to the slow development of frogs and
toads from egg to maturity.
There is a fascination as well as education in these
illustrations straight from the great story-book of na
ture, whose power, for those who will look and listen, will
"sing a more wonderful song, or tell a more marvelous
tale."
The senators who advocated rejection of the League
of Nations pact are trying to find a soft place on which
to light. They say they are willing to stand for the
League of Nations provided it is amended in certain im
material ways. Of course, it will be amended, as every
body knows the first draft given out was merely a work
ing plan' to be thoroughly gone over and perfected after
full discussion. Nobody who favors the League idea is
opposed to making amendments provided they tend to
make the plan more workable.
The Grants Pass boy who captured single-handed a
machine gun and twenty Germans has reached New York,
on his way to Oregon. Seems like there should be a re
ception coming to a fellow like that, when he gets off the
train at his old home town. Since this hero's father is a
resident of Salem now, the Capital City ought to watch
for his coming also, and make a day so big they will print
it in red letters on the olandars hereafter.
the League's direction. The statement adds:
"Mr. Taft's attitude, which is substantially that of the
League, is that he would accept the Paris covenant as it
stands, and thank God for it; that it does not, however,
fully meet his ideals, not being as strong in some respects
as the plan we have been advocating; that he would like
to see amendments that would strengthen it, and thinks
it wise to make changes that will make still more clear the
meaning which we understand it to carry. He is also
favorable to making changes that will placate opinion,
especially in the direction of definite acceptance of the
Monroe Doctrine, which we understand is already the
basis of the instrument."
It may be added that this also represents the attitude
of large numbers of people who have never had anything
to do with Mr. Taft's League.

The possibilities of the flax industry are shown by
the prevailing high prices of flax fiber. Mrs. W. P. Lord,
uf this city, tells the Capital Journal that she has just re-
ceived a copy of a Belfast, Ireland, trade journal which n. i would suggest they buy the iun.i,

the deal states that the quality of the fiber was "almost
as good" as the Belgian-grown product. Here in Oregon
we can produce a flax fiber equal to, if not actually super
ior to any grown in any part of the world, and the straw
from three acres will yield a ton of fiber. The possibilities
for profit in flax growing may be seen in a study of these
figures.
Ocly those who are afflicted with
Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas boils and
similar so-called skin diseases eaa ap
preciate the real terrifying discomfort
thst comes from these disorders.
The constant plea cf those afflicted
is the oft-repotted question, "How
can I find relief from this constant
torture?" Xot palliative, temporary
relief that causes tho terriblo itching
to abate for awhile, but real genuine
relief that shakes off the shackles uf
tho disease and restores tho skin to
its former healthy condition.
And temporary relief is the most
that can be expected from local treat
ment, such as ointments, salves, lo
tions, etc., which U one reason why
these diseases seem to hold on with
such tenacity. It is not because they
are incurable, but liecause they are
improperly treated, that they apnear
to be to stubborn uuu so difficult to
cure.
The real eaiue of the disease is a
6erm ia tho blood, which multiplies
by the million, and sets up an irrita
tion in some tender location of the
delicate skin.
You must locate the headquarters
of the disease germs, and cut off
their base of supplies. Tho blood ia
saturated with them, and they will set
up their attacks' on the surface of
the skin as long a they remain ia
the blood, no matter how much local
treatment you take.
A million gallons of local treatment
applied to the surface of the skin, will
not eliminate the germs of the disease
from the blood, and until they are
eliminated your skin will never be
free from the itching and burning
discomfort.
If yon want relief that is perma
nent, then take a treatment that goes
right to the seat of the trouble and
removes it cause. Such a remedy is

purifier that so thoroughly cleanses
the blood, that every trace of disease
