:a ra4w MAKES AFFIDAVIT.
Says He Has Threatened Her Life and
Sac Dent Want Him Liberated.

New York, July 1.-THE principal
barrier to the liberation of Harry K.
Thaw from the MatteaWan asylum,
for criminal insane, it became known
today is his wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.
Young Mrs. Thaw has made remarka-
BILE allegations against her husband
in an affidavit now in the possession
of District Attorney Jerome, and if
necessary will go on the witness stand
against him.
In her affidavit Mrs. Thaw swears
that her life would be endangered by
| Thaw's release. She sets forth that
on the occasion of her last visit to
| said to her:
81 will be out in a little while, and
when I am, 1 am going down to New
York and kill you"
He repeated his threat in various
forms, Mrs. Thaw swears, and she is
fearful that if he is set free would
carry it out. She says further in her
affidavit that Thaw's insanity is inter
mittent. At times he appears to be
perfectly rational, but he has his bad
days, and on these days he is beyond
control.
Young Mrs. Thaw confides her fears
to her lawyer, Daniel O'Reilly, and it
was finally decided to lay the facts
before the district attorney. They
will be used in an effort to prevent
his release.
Mrs. Thaw has been served with a
subpoena requiring her to appear al
White Plains today and she announc-
ed her readiness to go. The question
of Thaw's sanity is all that will be
touched pom in the present hearing.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED.
Badness Is Too Generally Considered
a Sign of Advanced Age.

a Sign of Advanced Age.
A bald headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
a healthy head of hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an
indication of age. Many large corpo-
rations have established an age limit,
and refuse to take men over 35 years
of g as new employees.
Almost IS per cent. of bald headed
people may regain a good head of
healthy hair if they will follow our
advice and accept our offer. We have
a remedy that we positively guarantee
to grow hair on any head, unless the
roots of the hair are entirely dead,
their fOllicles closed, and the scalp
has become glazed and shiny. We
want people to try this remedy at our
risk, with the distinct understanding
that unless it does exactly what we
claim it will. and gives satisfaction
in every respect, we shall make no
charge for the remedy used during the
trial.
w hAAO SAoSSAy ma we L Iolh
ing about, and with this offer back of
our statements no one should scott,
doubt our word or hesitate to put our
remedy to an actual test.
We want everyone in Goldsboro who
is suffering from any sclap or hair
trouble, dandruff, falling hair or bald
ness to try our Rexall "93" Hair Ton
ic. We want them to use it regular
ly-say until three bottles have been
used-and if it does not eradicate
%dandruff, cleanse and refresh the
scalp. tighten the hair in it's roots, and
grow new hair, we will return every
cent paid us for the remedy for the
mere asking. There is no Formally
expected, and we exact no obligation
from the user whatever.
We are established right here in
Go~ldsboro, and make this offer with g
full understanding hat our business
success entirely depends upon the
sort of treatment we accord our Gus
toners, and we would not dare make
the above offer unless we were posi-,
lively certain that we could substan-
tiate it in every particular. j. Fl. Hill

Facts About Women.

Here are some statistics which will

authorized, but the source from which
they are obtained states that they are
approximately correct: One woman in
FIVE in the United States has aban-
doned the domestic life and has be-
come wage Garner. In country dis
tricts only two women out of every
eleven are at work, but in cities-that
is. wherever Industrial opportunities
are present-two women out of every
seven are at work, nearly one-thfrd of
the total population. How far the IA
ther of the family has ceased to be the
sole supporter thereof is shown In the
statistics gathered in twenty-seyen cit
les and tabulated by the census bu-
reau. The total number of women at
work in the twenty-seven cities is
964, sos. OF this number $4,000 are
boarding or living In the families Of
