the head, and the creased portion rubbed.
until the scalp has absorbed the appli-

This treatment should be given daily

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
RESTORE FALLING HAIR

From the Philadelphia Star.
Hair could be made to appear better.
I think, il women would observe that
portion of the scalp which seems to be
weakest and treat it accordingly. There
can be no difficulty in knowing which
section lacks strength, for 1t demon
strates itself by the way hair comes out
on these spots.
Generally speaking, it Is at the tenn
pies that vitality first leaves the hair
follicles and this is especially true when
a woman suffers from nervousness. Hair
will fall from both sides of the fore
head before it does at any other place,
and with such scarcity there increases

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. who "ft in the

the historians of the time has been dubbed the
hero of San Juan, is now leading the charge on
the proposed treaty Of general arbitration. now

THE QUESTION or JUDICIAL APPOINT.
stIJNTS.

Congressman William A. Jones, Senator Mar
tins vigorous opponent Of senatorial honors. is
quoted in IA newspaper interview as saying:
Il propose to take the hide off Senator Mar
tin for encouraging the practice of having those
who seek places on the bench in Virginia go to
him for Endorsement.
Mr., Jones has placed the judges of Virginia
In the attitude Of suppliants for favors at the
hands of the senior senator. His allegation
Is, TO our mind. a reflection upon the judiciary,
aud the public wants the facts. The selection
of judges Is a function of the Legislature. which
body usually follows the recommendations of
the bar Of the various judicial circuits. 1t is
50 entirely remote from the duty or privilege
of a congressman or senator, except as he NAV
be a member of the bar. to participate in the
selection of a judge that, if a United States
senator is, as MIR. Jones suggests. taking part
in such selection. the public will be pleased to
probe the proposition to the bottom.
Come on, Mr.. Jones. with your facts, The
people are selecting q Legislature now and they
want to be in a position to name men who are
capable of performing all duties incumbent on
Legislators without the need of a mentor to
guide them.
