Snperfluous Hair.

would kindly tell me how L
can remove hair from the
face and what causes same.
1t keeps on getting thicker
all the time and 1 am become
ing annoyed as it looks very
badly. Does powder or cold
cream encourage the growth
of this fuzz? HARRY.
A.-Cold cream containing any
grease or oil promotes the growth
of hair If 1t is inclined to grow.
The electric needle when used
by first-class operator, destroys
the hair bulbs. If this method is
used, be very sure you have a re-
liable operator.
You may also pull the hair
out with a very sharp pair of
tweezers; but this is a painful,
tedious method.

A.-There are no typical
ranches of this kind in Washing
ton. The growth of population
has gradually overrun these vast
areas and greatly reduced their
former size. The largest of these

there are some of fair size in

morning by Illinois Central railroad
men in a car of potatoes. He ship
ed Saturday night from Sioux Falls,
bound for St. Louis, ignorant that
he could not live five hours in an

Edwards is reported to have told

car was loaded that he would go to
the car to adjust the burner. He
went in, it is said, and also took
some quilts with him.
Sioux Falls reported to the local
division officers that a search had
been made for him by the men who
helped load the car. When the men
returned from the search. 1t was
said, the car was sealed. Orders pre-
ceded the car to Cherokee to break

following statement:


"The propositions of the Ottoman
delegates do not correspond with
the demands formulated by the al
lies in the former sitting. The me-
gotiations on the new proposed basis
not being of such nature as to lead
to an understanding the allies see
themselves Obliged to suspend the
sitting of the conference"
Rechad Pasha protested energeti-
cally against this procedure, saying:
when M Novakovitch sits In
that chair he is not the president Of
the allies, but the president OF the
whole conference, which includes
the Turkish delegation. Therefore
the simple decision of the allies is
not sufficient to suspend the sitting.
without the opinion of the Turkish
delegation first being heard"
M. Novakovitch answered:
1T takes two to make a bargain.
If one side declines to enter into q
discussion it is useless to continue
the sitting"
The general hope now is that IN
the next three days the olive branch
will be offered in the shape Of offic-
ial or unofficial Intervention by the

PEACE ISSUE
HANGS ON AC-
ton OF POWERS
Turks Offer Crete, But They Insist
on Retaining Adrian
ople.
ALLIES ARE DISSATISFIED.
Declare Terms are Not Acceptable
and Suspend the
Sitting.

London, Jan. THE first stage
of the peace negotiations, which was
regarded by diplomats largely as one
of pretense on Turkeys part to
avoid the appearance of yielding to
the demands of the allies without
pressure from the powers is now ov-
or. 1t is expected that the second
stage now will soon begin, with the
powers behind the scenes pulling
the strings which will compel Tur-
key to concede the bulk of the allies
demands.
Turkey renounced in favor of the
allies her rights in the island OF
Crete at the conference, yesterday
and promised further notification OF
the Thracean frontier, but insisted
upon the retention of Adrianople.
The allies declared that this was not
satisfactory and suspended the con-
ference.
The conference may be resumed
either by notification from Turkey
that she has fresh proposals to sub
NIT, or by the allies on the ground
that they have communications to
make to the Turks. 1t is expected
that the work of the conference will
be taken up again at the end of the
week.
Rechad Pasha. before reading his
statement yesterday, made brief
speech, saying that Turkey was pre-
pared to give further proof of her
spirit. but he regretted
that the allies seemed determined to
concede nothing on their part.
He then read the following:
eff we refuse the cession of Ad-
rianople, 1t is because it's cession is
impossible for the security of Con-
stantinople and the Dardanelles.
eve still are ready to discuss the
frontier line between Turkey and
Bulgaria, but this frontier must
leave Adrianople in Ottoman terri
tory. Wishing to give new proof Of
our spirit of Cancellation We consent
to desist from our rights over Crete
on condition, naturally, that the al
lies do not claim the cession OF any
other islands in the Aegean sea.
''If, Notwithstanding this enor-
nous sacrifice. the allies reject all
idea of entering the road to conces-
sions, wishing to break the negotia-
lions, the whole responsibility for
the consequences OF this rupture
will fall on them. In this eventual
ity we declare all of the concessions
made until today null and void"

could not conceal their dissatisfac-
ton with the statement.
