This is one of the best prepare
tions made by the American Drug
gists Syndicate at its laboratory
in New York, and it has proved to
be the greatest tonic for the hair
ever compounded by modern phar-
macy.
1t is guaranteed to contain moth
ing that is in any way injurious to
the hair or scalp, but is simply a
scientific preparation which, when
faithfully applied, does away with
dandruff, cleanses and heals the
scalp, strengthens the roots, slim
ulates the growth and ads beauty
and lustre to dull, dry, lifeless hair
which is fading in color and slowly
dropping out.
A. d. S. Hair Reviver aims to
prevent badness by removing the
disease germs which affect the
roots and vitality of the hair. In
short it revives. 1t acts as nour-
ishment as well as a germicide,
and has a tendency to produce a
thick head of beautiful hair, full
of life and color, which greatly
adds to the attractiveness of any
man or woman.
A. d. S. Hair Reviver is not an
experimental is not an ordinary
mixture of merely pleasant smell
ing ingredients-it is not wash
which removes the dirt and grease
and stops there, but it Is medici-
nal remedy which protects the hair

they grow, and it is sold to you by
the 10000 responsible druggists
who compose the A. d.. s., with the
distinct understanding that If 1t

Eva Swan died in a delirium She not
only fixed the presence of Parker AT
the sick bed Of the dying girl, but
also placed him in close conference
with Thompson about two days before
the girls high fever ended her strug-
gle. This, If true, places Parker in
touch with the acucsed murderer at
about the time the latter rented the
Eureka street house and prepared to
dispose OF the girls body. though at
this time she was not dead
After fixing April Is as the day the
girl tame to Thompson's office alone
and was operated on, the nurse recited
the circumstances under which the girl
made three subsequent visits, finally re-
turning on the 2Oth and being placed
in bed with a burning fever. At this
juncture Parker appeared, but from

GOT NAME FROM EVA SWAN
Establishing the fact that Parker
made no effort to conceal his identity
when he called at the office, Detective
Ed Wren interrupted the examination
by asking the nurse how she knew his
name was Parker, and, as a matter of
fact, if she did not get the name from
Eva Swan, to which the nurse replied
that she did get it from the murdered
| school teacher. Parker's anxiety and
his information with relation to the
girls condition were next gone into
Fickert-Q.-Did you ever tell him
that there was no great danger? A.
Not that / remember.
O-Now when he came there he
would naturally inquire what A. (in-
terrupting)-He could have in this way

was feeling. I told him, She is not
very well this evening; don't stay very
long" or something of that kind.

him Miss Swan would die, but Parker
insisted that both the nurse and doctor
told him that she was getting better
all the time.
Following the examination, Parker
was returned to his cell at the city
prison, where he will be held pending
further developments in the case.
The San Francisco call., 1910-09-27

also brought out that Miss Swan had
told Parker on one of his visits to the
Grant hospital that she was not be-
ing treated very well, and that the
nurse had stated that Miss Swan was a
very hard patient to handle. Wren
pressed Parker again in trying to
make him admit that the nurse told

the doctor. and he said she would be
all right.
GIRL WAS DELIRIOUS
Il called again the next day. She
would be all right for a minute and
then she would be seeing things. She
imagined that she could see something
crawling across the ceiling. She rec
ogntzed me at this time also. When l
called again the following day the doc
tor told me that Miss Swan had been
taken to private hospital and that
her sister had sent her 5000. I asked
what hospital she went to, but the doc
tor told me / did not want to know
that and for me to call up in three or
four days and he would let me know
about, her condition. called up, /
think it was twice, on the following
days and the doctor told me she was all
right. Then L called up one day and /
could not get the doctor. A man an
swered the phone and said that neither
the doctor nor the nurse were there.
II never went to Grants place again,
but 1 became suspicious and I went to
the morgue and 1 thought, If she had
died, there would be a death certificate
there. There was no death certificate,
and then Mrs. Ware insisted that go
to the hospitals. / went to the Lane
hospital personally and called up Zion's
hospital or the phone. 1 then went to
see Mr.. Bryan, my attorney, and asked
him his advice in the matter. The doc
tor never told me that he thought she
would die and, as was not responsible
for her condition, Mr.. Bryan said. You
don't want to get mixed UP in this at
ALL You can explain it to the authori-
ties when the time comes If there is
anything wrong"
QUESTIONED BY DETECTIVE
AT this point Detective Wren took a
hand in the questioning.
Didn't you tell me last night you
were satisfied the woman died in the
hospital" queried Wren.
mo. | did not say she died in the
hospital" answered Parker.
Didn't you tell me you were salts
fed she was Jead?" asked Wren.
"Yes, after it went for months and
months and months l was sure she was
dead. Before that I thought she was
probably getting along all right in this
private hospital she was supposed to
have gone to-"
The subject of Parker's silence fol-
lowing the complete disappearance of
the girl was again brought up. In an
swers to questions by Fickert and
Wren along this line, Parker said:
Mr.. Bryan told me that 1t was
nasty mess and for me not to mix up in
it. After / could not find any death
certificate Mr. Bryan told me that 1T
would not be right to get Miss Swan
into any notoriety as she might turn
up and that 1T would then be bad for
her,
In a cross examination by Wren and
Fickert, Parker reiterated that he
knew a criminal operation had been
performed, but continued to declare
that he did not know who could be re-
sponsible for the unfortunate girls
plight.
Parker denied that he was ever en-
gagged to marry Miss Swan. He denied
having paid the doctor any money for
the operation or having given Miss
Swan money for that purpose 1t was

A Healthful Costume.

When the Fraser highlanders landed
IN North America in 1857, it was pro-
posed to change the dress on account
of the cold winters and hot summers.
The officers successfully opposed this
and were ultimately justified by the
highlanders being the healthiest sol
diers in the army. In the campaign in
Holland in 1874 some regiments lost as
many as 300 from disease, but the
Black Watch, which had 300 recruits
in its ranks, had only twenty-five cas-
ualties, including the killed in battle.
