TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN

class must be more careful to retain

velops the information that In hair
care they find 1t dangerous to sham
poo with any makeshift hair cleanser.
The majority say that to have the best
hair wash and scalp stimulator at a
cost OF about three cents, one need only
get a package Of canthrox from your
druggist; dissolve a teaspoonful in a
cup OF hot water and your shampoo Is
ready. This makes enough shampoo
liquid to apply 1t to all the hair instead
of Just the top of the head. After Its
use the hair dries rapidly, with uniform
color. Dandruff. excess oil and dirt
are quickly dissolved and entirely dis
appear when you rinse the hair. After
this your hair will be so fluffy II will
look much heavier than II IL. Its luster
and softness will delight you, while the
stimulated scalp gains the health which

At the Peace Conference
More Than Fifty Treaties Will Be Signed

More than fifty treaties of peace will be signed by the conference
being held at Versales-for more than fifty declarations of war were
made during the course of human events since that memorable day in
1914 when hoshlites were declared. The exact number of treaties to
be promulgated is hard to estimate, says a writer in LesGes, for the crum-
bling of Austria Hungary and of the German empire into segments and
fragments may necessiate the drafting of extra treaties, unthought of
when President Wilson stated his fourteen points in his address before
congress.
AS the matter stood then Austria Hungary had declared war five
times, Brazil once, Bulgaria once, China twice, Cuba once, France four
times, Germany five times, Great Britain four times, Greece four times
Italy four times, Japan once, Liberia once, Montenegro twice, Panama
twice, Portugal twice, Roumana once, Serbia twice, San Marine once,
Siam twice, Turkey twice and the United States twice.
But since these declarations were made the whirligig of time and
the pranks of fate have changed the aspect of things materially. Baden,
Bavaria, Wurttemberg, Saxony, Hungary-and perchance a dozen other
entities may demand and receive separate treaties. The Czecho-Slovaks
and the Jugo-Slavs, Armenia, Palestine and the disintegrated parts OF
Russia from Esthonia to the Ukraine, may obtain separate treaties. So
that when the gigantic labors of the Versailles conference are done more
than seventyfve distinct international peace agreements may result.
When all the treaties III completed they will be submitted to the
treaty-making powers of the respective governments. In the United
States the president is empowered to make a treaty which must be ratl-
fed by two-thirds vote of the senate.
In Great Britain the p~eace-making power is a crown prerogative, sub
ject to the assent Of the prime minister acting on the collective advice OF
the cabinet.
In France the president may negotiate and ratify treaties, according
to Article 8 of the constitutional law Of 1875, subject to the sanction of
the chamber of deputies.
In Italy Act 5 of the fundamental statistics of 1848 empowers the
king to make peace, communicating this fact to the chamber but not
requiring its sanction.
In Belgium, under Article 60 of the constitution of 1888, the king
makes peace treaties.
Who will accept the peace terms for Germany and for Ausria-Hun-
gary it is difficult to say. In Germany in worse days, now happily ree-
gated into history, the kaiser had boundless powers, under Article II of
the constitution of 1871. But the bundesrath was required to give assent
and the richsag had to validate treaties.
In Austria, under Act 6 under the constitution of 1867, the emperor
was the sole treatymaking power.

Banyan Tree of India Will
Shelter Thousands of Men

The most remarkable tree In the
world. perhaps, is the banyan Of In
dia. A tree of this species. on an
island In the Nedbudda river, Is be-
lieved to be the same one that is men,
toned by Alexander the Great. The
branches send down numerous "aerial"
roots that grow down to the soil and
form props or additional trunks. until
a single tree often overs so large an
area that it will shelter thousands Of
men. At the time Of Alexander the
Greats visit, 1t sheltered 10000 men.
Under the protecting shade Of these
trees the Indian merchants still con-
duct their markets. The merchants
are known as "banians," because they
abstained from meat for many CEN
turtles, but modern customs have
driven out many Of the Hindu's ira
ditions.-People's Home Journal.
