the same route as the sheep, which have
the right to Craze on all open and common

As to Hair.

From the New York Press
A child Of six died the other day Of -
known disease. 1t pined away. The doc
tors are puzzled. They did not take notice
OF the fact that the mother had persistently
refused to allow the youngsters hair to be
cut. Not many doors away a playmate
with similarly long hair began to fade. and
the sensible mother. listening to the advice
of her aged father-in-law. had her darling's
head clipped with a machine. The result
was astonishing. Within few days there
was rally. and now that child IL vigorous.
We have men Of all isms and lists. but the
effect of hair is not understood. While one
child may thrive with a shock Of 1t. another
will die In the case of Henry. age five, all
his strength seemed to go to his hair. The
instant the barber removed 1t the boy got
strong as a young bull moose. Samson's
case was that of man whose hair seemed
to absorb strength from the air: that Ia. he
breathed strength through 1t, and when II
was clipped he weakened. But that Is
fairy tale.

DICKSON ARRESTED

Information given by his step-brothel
and his own father led to the arrest ol
John Dickson early Thursday morning,
charged with numbering Thomas Green
at Willow Grove camp OH Sunday night.
Dickson is now locked up in Dover Jail
and will be confined there until he ia
tried for his life.
Detectives Francis and Ratledge, who
were notified of the case on Monday,
have been working hard on it ever since
their arrival. In some way the Whining
ton officials learned that Frederick Black
knew the whereabouts of the murderers.
When he WAS seen he said he did not
known where Dickson was hiding but
that the father of the fugitive did. Upon
investigation the detectives found this
to be true and arrested the aged colored
man. He was almost frightened to death.
Protesting his innocence he said he
would lead the officers to his sons place
of concealment if he, the father, would
be released. The detectives assented
and the old man took them to place
near the Maryland line where Dickson
was arrested.
Later in the day he was locked in the
Kent county Jail.

LEADERS HAVE FAITH IN HIM

Washington April 4.-Representa-
tive James Hay, of Virginia, one OF
the Democratic leaders If the house,
is personally in favor of Senator Cor
man for president, although admit:
ting that Judge Parker is quite avail
able Il think the Democrats of Vir-
ginia are now inclined to favor Judge
Parker" he said today, but my be-
lief is that if Senator German is a
candidate, or can be induced to be-
come one, Virginia would support him.
That the party leaders have confidence
in German is evident by his selection
to the Democratic leadership of the
senate I have heard it stated that
Mr.. German could not hold the party
together upon the Cuban treaty vote,
and that the division in that vote
proved that he could not hold the
party together: Fifteen Democrats
voted against the treaty. while seven
stood with Mr. German and voted for
it. Now, as a matter of fact. there
was an agreement in the Democratic
caucus that the Democrats should
unanimously support certain amend
ments to the treaty, but upon the ques-
tion of the adoption of the convention
the minority senators might vote as
Il y
nous agreement. The result, there
fore, is in no wise reflection on Mr..
Germans ability as a leader
Il believe the people of Virginia
would support Senator German at the
convention and at the polls, if he
should become candidate. | am firm
ly convinced that we could elect either
German or Parker.
81 believe that the Democratic plat
form should be as brief as possible,
and dealing with the tariff question
should advocate the removal of all
duties upon products made by the
trusts and a reduction of the tariff
generally, so as to meet the business
needs of the country The tariff
and the trust questions will come up
before the people in the next cam
paign as practically one subject. With
the tariff questions in the front, I do
not see why such states as New York,
Cnnnoofiout c1,n1,l1
not be won by our organization. The
money question, which has been a
bugaboo to those states. is now in the
background. | think that Roosevelt
has lost in popularity in those states,

publicans we could forge ahead

BRAIN FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous FOOD fad has
been branded by the most competen'
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind OF food Is
needed for brain. another for mus
cles, and still another for bones. A
correct diet will not only nourish Il
particular part of the body, but II
will sustain every other part. Yet
however good your food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indiges-
ton or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses OF
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates
the liver to healthy action, purifies
the blood, and makes you feel buoy
