FOR YOUR HAIR
Here Are Facts We Want You TO
Prove Mt Our Risk.

When the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, we do not believe that
anything can restore hair growth.
But, when the hair roots retain any
life, we believe there is nothing that
will so surely promote hair growth as
will Rexall "93' Hair Tonic. To prove
that statement we promise to prompt

Rexall 49, Hair Tonic, should it not

germs which are usually responsible
for badness. 1t penetrates to the roots
of the hair, stimulating and, by pro-
noting circulation, nourishing them

Plan to Stop Hunter Deaths.

Discussing the number of shoot
ing accidents in the Maine woods.
where many men have been
mistaken for deer, the Hon. John f.
Sprague of Dover, president of the
Maine Sportsmen's Fish and Game AS
ISOLATION, declares that there is but
ono real preventive for them.
His REMEDY Is the enactment of a
law which will create a perpetual
close time upon doe deer. In support
of this he calls attention to the fact
that there is not on record case
where hunter has been shot through
mistake for a moose. This he attri-
butes to the fact that it is illegal for a
hunter to shoot a COW moose.
He takes the position that the fact
that it is illegal to SO kill causes the
huntsman to unconsciously take pre-
cautions to ascertain that he is shoot
ing at bull moose before firing
the fatal shot.
This, it seems to him, makes it a
practical impossibility for them to kill
a man by mistake, for the reason that
they would see the moving object was
man and not a moose. The same,

he feels sure. would apply in the event
that 1t was against the law to shoot
doe deer.
This idea was first advanced by Mr..
Sprague at a meeting of the New Eng
land Sportsmens Association hold in
Portland in January, 1904. II was not
we'll received at the time. BY most of
those present it was not considered
practicable Since then a number
have become converted to the plan
and recent information obtained by
the United States government. goes to
show that Mr.. Sprague Was correct in
his position.
About four years ago the bureau OF
biological survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture began an
investigation of the subject, and Mr.
Sprague has just received a commune
chief of that bureau. in which he says
that the records for the four years
show that in the period but four fatal
shooting accidents OF the kind where
the victim was mistaken for a deer
have occurred in the II states which
forbid the killing of does, while in the
four leading hunting states which do
not SO protect the female of the species
Maine, Michigan, New York and
Wisconsin-there have been "a fatal
cases of this kind. In compiling
these statistics no record has been
kept of the number of cases of men
shot by being mistaken for a deer,
but not fatally injured.

ALLEGED CONFESSIONS
OF BEATT|E
An Outline of What Is Said to be
Beattles' Private Confession.

A Richmond, Va, paper has recent
~ printed an outline of what is said
to have been detailed and private
confession left for the perusal of his
family alone, by Henry Clay Beattie,
Jr., who was recently electrocuted for
the murder of his wife.
1t was stated that one of the detec-
tives who worked on the case was per-
mitted to see the confession, which is
more cireumstantial than that made
public the day Beattie was executed.
According to this alleged confession
Beattie decided two weeks before the
crime was committed, to kill his wife
The details of the murder, coineident
almost precisely with the theory of
the case set out by the state at the
trial. Beattie induced his cousin Paul
to buy the gun and hide it behind a
stump on the Midlothian turnpike. He
is said to have stated that he shot
his wife full in the face as she was
stepping from his automobile and that
she fell backward into the road. Beat
tie denied that he first knocked his
wife down, a story which gave him
much annoyance implying coward
ice Beattie is also said to have de-
MED that he sat upon his wfes body
during the wild drive into Richmond.
He is said to have asserted that his
marriage was comparatively loveless

Inspector Van w CARL, DR.. Achille
Jolly of Watervlle and DR.. H. B. F.
Jeryis of Houlton were recently in
conference concerning the relations of
the department with the veterinarians
and as result the two forces will
henceforth work together better for
the advancement of cattle interests.
The purpose of the meeting was to
obtain right Interpretation of the
livestock sanitary laws and to come
to some understanding as to how these
laws should be carried out, it being
the desire of the department of
agriculture and the Maine Veterinar-
ian Medical association to work in har
mony as far as possible"
The first topic discussed was the
appraisal value to be put upon animals
other than cattle. 1t was finally
agreed that the maximum should be
500 and that the state should pay
half. 1t was suggested that rule
might be promulgated by the govern
nor providing that the Department
should be notified of the arrival of
every shipment of horses into the
state. 1t was decided to draft some
such rule and submit it to the COVER
nor for his approval.
The meaning of the expression

and Mr. CARL said that he understood
it to mean any man who knew how to
do the work He spoke of the COM

of the tuberculosis and mallein test
sheets were not properly filled out and
stated that of the eleven names of
veterinarians mentioned, eight were

SOME EXCITING RACES.
During the Hagenbeck- Wallace Shows Are Featuring, As
 In Former Years.

:! During the history of the Great Wallace Shows that enter.
 prise was noted for putting or
 the most intensely realistic rae
 ing in it's hippodrome contests that were ever witnessed under canvas. B. F. Wallace, referred to by intimate friends as "the Hoosier Snowman" was always fond of fine horses and especial ly those of the speed ring. Ev- cry horse of the four hundred used by these shows is purchas- ed personally by MT. Wallace, most of them being bought on the horse markets of the big cit ies or in Missouri, Iowa or Ken lucky.
 When the Carl Hagenbeck Trained Animal Shows were combined with the Great Wal lace Show, it was feared that it might be necessary to shorten the circus programme on ac- count of the many acts given by the wild beasts. When it was suggested that the hippodrome races be cut out, MT. Wallace was up in arms. To him that is the best part of his show, and since he has taken an interest in the racing contests and puts on the hippodrome in manner that distinguishes the races from the farces of racing with other shows. MT. Wallace said the hippodrome would not only be continued but he would have even better racing than hereto fore. By q great deal of schem- ing the combination of the two performances has been secured without losing any feature.
 By means of cash prizes to the lady and gentleman winning the most of the races during the week, the show has caused a real rivalry to exist between the con- testants, and though the racing

THE CIRCUS THRILL.
Visions of Paradise For Little Folks By the Hagenbeck-
 Wallace Shows.

What thrill the simple word |
 circus" sends through the
 heart of the man who is still a boy beneath the shell that lis battles with the world have giv-
 en him. That the circus of the
 past generation has yecorae the
 gigantic moving city of canvas
 covering myriad of features is
 exemplified in the Hagenbeck- Wallace Shows which exhibit l here September 23, and what 1 vision of paradise and joy su- preme are these greater amuse- ment enterprises. Sweet memories of childhood how oft recalled, and among
 them stands out prominently in the minds eye the circus day as I the star of all gIadsome holidays
 that passed. Do you remember 1 how you watched the men put
 ting up the posters, those facin-
 ating announcements of the joy| to come? Do you remember how you fell over their buckets of paste in your desire to be the first to see what the aerial ar tist on the next sheet was going to do? No fairy story ever ap-
 pealed to you as did those bril-
 liant pictures on the billboard,
 fence or barn. To be spoken to
 by one of the actors was glory
 enough to offset the securing of
 any job that would allow you to walk into the tent without pay ing your money for the priyil-
 edge. You were proud of your
 distinction and you hugged it to your bosom as you joined the 1 procession and trod the 5anbark lpath into the big show. Peanuts
 and pink lemonade was food for
 the gods combined! You went
 to the circus expecting to be
 reckless spender and no petty 
 economy could hold you. Out in-
 to the glare of the sunlight you
 came after the concert was over, blinking. like an owl in the day time. Of course, you walked, yet you felt as though you were floating on wings through | crowds in dream. The lot on which the circus had spread it's 1 tents was transformed into some thing new, and strange, and fas- cinating. You forgot that you had ever played ball on it; you did not recognize anything about it; even the streets in the dis tance seemed unfamiliar or turn ed around. But joy complete, | and permeating every fibre of your being, was yours. Though | you must go back to a humdrunl 1 existence tomorrow to school, or doing the chores about the house i this they could never take away from you. You had seen the cir GUS and for days after you would live it over again and ! again, waking or sleeping. You probably attempted some of the less difficult feats in your own back yard with long stockings for tights and a trapese made of a broomstick and the clothes line, to keep the dream from fad ing; but this was only fun and but the shadow of the glorious reality that had gone before. The circus had come and gone, and dizzy with happiness that you would never know again you went slowly into the house.

Sporting Editor EVENING JOURNAL.
Referring 10 the ARTICLE under the
caption. "wagging fan pokes fun at
Dagsboro ball tossers." dated Seaford,
July q, will say that the Seaford team
has had a challenge issued to them
ever since that article made its ap-
pearance in your columns, and we
have been prepared to make short
work Of these boasters ever since. II
was only a few days ago that we tried
TO make arrangements with the Sea-
ford crack nine CD for a game on our
grounds during the series of games
that are TO be played with different
clubs of the county this week For
the benefit Of the readers OF The Jour
nal. we will say that they need not
be surprised that Toby Thompson does
not know where Dagsboro is situated.
Notwithstanding all the fun-poking
that has been made Of little Dagsboro
by the news writer, we state that we
have so far been unable to hear from
any of them since we issued the chal-
lenge, and we have gotten to believe
that they have died since that wal
Looping administered to them by Sails
bury the other day. II they can't put
up any better game with a club like
Salisbury we don't know that it's
much use for them TO come to little
Dagsboro for we might make them go
away looking worse, and possibly they
would be sorry that they ever found
out where this township is situated.
The writer stated that "early In the
spring the Dagsboro club defeated

ford club on neutral grounds, and as
Georgeotwn is centrally located and
just as near for Seaford as the Days

hereby challenge them for a game to
