SELDOM ENDED BY NEUTRALS
Great Majority of Big Wars Of the
Past Have Been Fought to
Complete Finish.

Just how much ice does a neutral cut
with the belligerents at war? Open
your history and see.
Only one great war in recent times
was ended by neutral No neutral
ever ended one of Frederick the
Greats conflicts.
The Napoleonic wars ran over q
period of 20 years. No campaign had
period inserted after it by a neutral
power.
We fought the American Revolution
to conclusion, as the seven years
war and the accompanying struggle be-
tween France and England had been
fought to finish, never needing the
word of a neutral.
Bismarck engineered three impor-
tant wars against Denmark, Austria,
and France. He Won all, and stopped
when he was ready, but not when q
neutral suggested it.
Neutrals talked and suggested an
end of the Civil war long before Lee
and Johnston surrendered their armies,
but Lincoln's idea was that q peace
that left the real issue unsettled meant
that tens OF. thousands of soldiers
would have died in vain.
The Crimean war ended when the
belligerents got good and ready. So
did the Boer war end when one COM

WHY HAIR CHANGES
Turns White Because of Air in
the "C0rtex."
Expert Gives Some information About
the Human Head Covering-QuaI-
ity of Hair Remains Same
Through Life.

There are very few people whose
hair begins to turn gray before they
are twenty-five years old, but there is
scarcely anyone whose hair does not
show some trace of gray by the time
he has reached fifty.
Generally the first signs of grayness
appear about the temples and then
gradually spread through the whole
hair. Gray hair comes from the eternal
change of things and is merely indica-
tive OF age and the passing of time.
You may say this cannot be so, be-
cause you have had gray hair. That
is all well and true, but the passing
of time and the changes which come
with age begin the moment a person is
born. The losing of your baby teeth
is nothing more than the sign Of age,
remarks a writer in the Brooklyn
Eagle.
From generation to generation
patches of white have appeared in the
hair of different members of a family.
This is due to heredity, but further
than that no one knows.
Severe head wounds, long sick
nesses, chronic dyspepsia, malaria,
fevers, anemia, violent headaches and
almost any facilitating disease will be
apt to bring on gray hairs.
One theory advanced by large hair
dressing establishment In Chicago is
that gray hair comes from an impov-
erished condition Of the blood.
Another theory is that the change Is
based on the quantity of blood. 1t is
true that persons hair has instantly
turned white from being suddenly i'm
mersed in ice-cold water. The reason
given for this is the basis Of the
quality" theory.
A third and new theory is based on
the fact that the color Of the hair is
influenced by the amount of air which
is in the cortex, the outer covering of
placing one of the hairs which has
turned white into ether or turpentine,
which expelS the air, the hair re-
sumed it's natural color. Why air in
cOrtex should make this change no one
knows. 1t is on the same principle
that the egg turns snow white when
air is beaten into it.
The air theory is that which is held
by the best dermatologists. Hair grows
in little scales closely fitted one upon
the other. Once these scales get sepa-
rated, the air comes in and forms eth
err rounded separated globules or
groups by themselves. When the air
bubbles get between the hair cells and
the cortex the pigment is obscured and
the hair straightway loses it's color
and appears white.
This theory by all odds seems the
most acceptable. The reason other
theories about the quantity and quality
of blood supply to the hair cells do not
hold as much weight is because white
hair is generally as healthy and of the
same texture as the hair before, and,
in fact, is practically the same hair,
differing only in color. If the blood
had much effect it would not only in
terfere with the coloring matter, but
would also change or weaken the hair
itself.
Then, too, these theories do not ex-
plain what has happened to make the
color change. The air theory explains
this, and also gives you logical rea-
son why the quality of the hair re-
mains apparently unaffected.
