barber assured me that this immunity from gray hair is, in great measure. due to the excellent care bestowed upon celestial heads by native shampooers. Seldom 1t is that an American patronizes a Chinese barber to test the beneficent properties of his touch. but those who have so experienced agree with the Chi nese patrons that he has a way about him that puts new life and Wgor into a mans scalp. The efficacious massag- ing together with a certain oriental tonic. with which the water is perfumed. constitutes the secret of his trade and preserves the locks of Chinese customers in their pristine duskiness.
 After I had parted from the gray headed Chinaman< poked around the streets of the colony for an hour or more on the lookout for another of his kind, but my search was vain. However. there may be more gray heads on Mon- golian shoulders hidden away In remote corners of the city. If so l wish their owners would stand up to be counted"

His letter is written by his interpreter and signed with his Chinese signature. It recites, For three years I wAs under the care of the Best physicians ivR Russia, Germany, France, America, asSNell as my own country. I had tried baths and water cures almost without number. I grew worse until finally my physician pronounced me incurable and l was doomed to die in from three to six months.
 "A friend prevailed upon me to change my food and take up Grape-Nuts. This did more to gratify my friend than from any benefit I expected. but within as to astonish and delight myself and family.
 My improvement continued without re- lapse until at the end of three months was well and sound, weighed more and was stronger and had a better appetite and more perfect difestion than at any other time in my life.

VOTE ON oLEoMARaARINE BILL
 TODAY.
Southern Members Make a Fight Against the Neasure-Richard- son, Wood and Clayton De-
 liver Speeches.

Washington. Feb. 11.-(SpeciaD-In the heated debate today in the House on the oleomargarine bill. which seeks to de- stroy the industry of oleomarsarine and thereby seriously cripple the cotton seed oil and cattle raising industries of the South and West. the Alabama delega- ton showed up with considerable strength.
 Early in the day Representative Rich- ardson, under the five minute rule. made a powerful attack on the bill. Represent ative Underwood harrassed the advocates of the bill continually with pointed ques- tions and finally made a speech against the measure, one of the ablest argu- ments of the entire deDate. Representa- tive Clayton. who has been a constant interrogation point in the way of the measure. since the debate started. lifted his deep voice in a short but telling ad- dress during the afternoon.
 In spite of these valiant efforts to shield the South from the threatened danger in such legislation. 1t Is predicted generally that the bill will pass tomorrow. The Southern Representatives believe. how ever. that the Senate will kill the bill. Mit Saul,

CRAY QUEUES VERY RARE.
Immunity Said to be Due to System
 of Massaging.

New York Press.
 T saw a Chinaman in Mott Street yesterday whose queue was getting gray. said the man of experience. T consider those silver threads among the black quite a phenomenon, and in my surprise at their appearance. stopped the old fellow and asked him how in the world he ever happened to get them. He could understand but very little Eng fish, however. and speak less, and as was equally deficient in a knowledge of the Chinese tongue, we didn't make much progress In the matter of explanation. Finally went into barber's shop near by and sought to satisfy my curiosity there. Somehow l faneied the man must be an octogenarian at the very least. but 1 learned that he was still in his prime, and had, unlike the majority of his countrymen. turned prematurely gray. This phase of the matter con- founded me all the more. In all ~ trav- els he was the first gray-haired China man I had ever seen, and l had met many of them here and in the far West.
 Ut really Is a curious thing. when you come to think of 1t, how rarely a Chi naman shows his age. at least so far as his hair is concerned. l have seen many of them who had turned slightly gray around the temples, but I had to wait tili yesterday to find plgtail ,Streaked with white.

CT out of 1t, not otherwise" replied Mr.
 The Allen amendment was carried amid
 considerable display of enthusiasm. ls7
 MT. Henry, in charge of the bill, offer
 ed an amendment which was adopted. to
 provide . that the bill should go into effect Mir. Richardson CTenn) offered an amendment to place an internal revenue tax of 10 per cent on the products of steel corporations. and on all that of other corporations known as 'trusts' 5 per cent fsa
 Mr. Henry made the point that the amendment was not germane, against which MT. Richardson argued that the bill was brought in under the guise of q bill to raise revenue and that as such his amendment was germane.
 The point of order was sustained. MT. Wadsworth thereupon offered the substitute for the entire bill which had
 been prepared by the minority of the Az In explaining its provisions Mir. wads- worth displayed at his desk the form of packages in which oleomargarine would be sold hereafter If the substitute were adopted. The members congregated about
 him while he made his exhibit. Samples of the product was placed on 2 l saiver and handed around the House Many of the members tasted of 1t. A
 breezy debate followed, notwithstandina vote was taken the substitute was de- | feated-115 to '46.
 When the Committee rose Mir. Tawney Rep., Minn.) demanded a separate vote on the amendment relating to ssoovatet | butter. but he described the amendment | by the wrong number and discovered hia error only after that amendment witF | others of a minor character, had been adopted in gross. The exposure of the mistake tickled the enemies of the bill. but MT. Tawnev proceeded to retrace the parliamentary trail by moving a recon. l sideration of the vote. It took some | time to strai9hten out the tangle but thtl was accomplished finally and with thil
 amendment pending the House at .s:1b ad' iourned.

SCHOOLS IN PHILIPPINES.

Governor Taft says they VIII pc Gs-
 tablished at Once.
 New York. Feb. Ex-Governor Taft oi the Philippines has arrived in this city from Washington.
 My visit to this city is purely 6 family affair."" he said. ''We have ar. ranged a kind of reunion-my mother and aunt and my brothers family. probably shall consult my physician within the next few days, but nothing will be done toward an operation until the Philippine commission has finished with me. Meanwhile I am under orders to say nothing about the Philippine situation"
 Governor Taft consented. however, to talk about native education. He said: You will remember that 1t was proposed to educate a few young Filipinos at Yale as an experiment and perhaps initiative. So far nothing has been done. But had a talk with President Hadley the other day in Washington. and I may run up to New Haven soon as the matter is of importance. Of course the difficulty is that a native cannot be suddenly i'm ported to this country and thrust into the higher education. He must be taught young and adequately prepared. Looking to this end we shall have high schools in the island that will be step- ping stone to our universities.
 But Mir. Atkinson. superintendent of these schools, tells me that high schools will not be possible until next year at least. In the meantime, he Is pushing ahead with primary schools" l."

 and Others.

Washington. Feb 1i.-Generai Davis. Judge Advocate General of the Army said today in regard to the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis In the case of Captain Peter c. Demins. formerly q volunteer officer in the Sub sistence Department. who was court martiaied for alleged financial irreguiari- ties and sentenced to dismissal and im- urisonment. that the United States still has the right of appeal to the United States Supreme Court.
 According to General Davis there is comparatively few prisoners whose eases involved the principle determined in the Demtng case that is that q militarS court composed in whole or In part of ofioers of the regular army has no juris- dfction oyer offenses committed by vol unteers.
 A case involving the same legal ques. tions reached in the Deming case is that of Captain James c. Read convicted In the Philippines some time ago of com. plicity in the commissary frauds in Ma. nifa. Another similar case Is that ol Lieutenant Boyer. alleged to have been connected with the same transaction.
