THE CHARGES AGAINST JUDGE WILFLEY.

President Roosevelt's defence of Jadge Willy, based on su analytical review by Secretary Root of the charges against him, was preferred by Lorin Andrews, and have basa made public on March 2nd. The charges were reposted by bim before the House Committee on Judiciary as the basis of impeachment pro- coedings. They relate to Jadge Wilday'e ministration of the United States Court for Chins at Shanghai.

After disposing of wich of the seven charges by showing that none of them ie. the proper basis of criticism against Judge Wild by, Secretary Root reviews conditions in the foreign quarters of Shanghai, showing that istration of justice the affairs had grown dis-- because of the heretofore lax American ndmin- graceful, Judge Wilday was sent there for the express purpose of reversing these condi- tican. Secretary Root concludeé:-

"The circumstances thus presented "exbibit s motiva for the attempt to drive Judge Willey from his position. They present strong probability of misjudgement, exagg**- tion and distortion of facts on the part of the lawyers who have personally suffered from the obanged conditions. They make it clear that apon no trifling grounds should our Govern mont incur the public misfortune which would a involved in putting the stamp of disapproval the United States Court for China has done.

y opinion is that Jodge Wilday is entitled, not to condemnation, bat to commendation and high credit for his conduct in office and thet President Roosevelt's vindication is contain the charg s against him should be dismissed." .. ed in a letter to Seérolary Root.

Are We Becoming

Bald-Headed?

Baldness More Prevalent Abroad than in England.

Are we becoming a bold beaded race? That is tus question which thrusts itself into the mind of the inquiring ob server after an evening at any place of -sunsement or public assembly. Bald neas is undoubtedly largely on the increase, and the number of bald heads to be seen is quite alarming.

Somewhere in the Western interior of Australia, the Scottish explorer Mckay says that there exists such a race of people. They are not only de void of hair upon their heads and faces, but there is alaplutely no trace of hirsutic growth upon their bodies. They are, in consequence, a feeble people. stunted in stature, and particularly liable to bronchial and chest diseases.

The fact of the matter is, that when shroad we do not, as a role, devote the same care and attention to the cultiva tion of a good head of hair as the average foreigner, and we think that if we dash cold or hot water over in regu larly, we are doing everything that we can do to preserve it. But this is wrong Excopt in a few cases, where there is a naturally vigorous growth, the hair

requires quite a different style of treat- ment. There is no doubt that the lime in ordinary hard water is a depilatory, whereas what the hair requires to keep it healthy is a non-barsh preparation (like "Harlena") that will prevent the scalp from becoming hested and dry, and also prevent the hair falling out. There is no better preparation of this kind on The market than the many years old, tried-and-true favourite of Royalty, namely, "Harlene, which is very similar in quality and character to the natural oil of the hair, and the absence or poverty of which is the direct cause of nearly all baldness.

"Harlenc" is both cleansing, tonic, and preservative, and may be used safely by people of all ages. It may be obtained direes from the manufacturers. Messrs. Edvards' Harlene Co., 5-6, High Hol born, London, W.C.,and from any ebernist or stores in the Colonies.
