A COMPLETELY UN- PROVOKED ASSAULT,

Convicted on a charge of as sault on two Chinese women at Lalchikok on Tuesday evening, Chula All, assistant warder of the Lalchikok Prison, was sentenced to two months' hard labour by Mr. W. Schofield at the Kowloon Magistracy this morning.

Mr. J. W. Franks watched the proceedings on behalf of the Prison Department.

The defendant pleaded guilty. Inspector MeWalter said that the defendant was walking along the Castle Peak Road, near Laichikok, The warm bath cleanses the on Tuesday evening and seeing the body, draws the blood to the sur-complainants sitting on the door fact, increases perspiration and steps of their house, he flashed his has a soothing effect.

Atmosphere Values.

Baths in which all sorts of materials are placed in the water have little special effert, since most of these materials cannot be absorbed through the skin. The real value of salt water baths must be credited to the atmosphere and surroundings in which they are taken. Sen salt in bags does not carry with it the sunlight, the buffeting of the waves, the brisk ocean breeze, the running and playing on the beach, or the pleasant observance of the sur- rounding company.
