JAPAN WANTS MORE
FROM THE CHINESE
Preparing to Ask China for a Large
Concession in Colony Seized
BY Germany.
0By United Press.)

TOXIC, March 5 (by mail.)-
Much conjecture is being made here
today to how much Japan will add
to her already large interest in China
as a result of the war, but Baron
Hayashi, Japanese minister to Pek-
ing, here to confer with his govern
ment, does not hesitate to make it
plain Japan is preparing to ask
China for a large concession at
Tsingtau, the colony seized from Ger
many.
Japan can dispose of the Shang-
tung railway without waiting for the
peace conference, and it is absurd
to doubt that this railway line will
not come under Japanese influence"
Baron Hayashi todd the newspaper
men.
Japan will also ask China to
agree to the, establishment of a Jap
anese concession at Tsingtau," he
continued. "But whether other for
eign countries will be permitted to
establish settlements at Tsingtau, as
in other Chinese ports, is a question
which l cannot discuss now

HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very care
fully, If you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and grease
less), and is better than the
most expensive soap or anything
else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family
