SALEM WOMEN
MIGHT TELL
4 HAIR SECRET

A great many Salem women, who
have an abundance of beautiful hair,
know about q remarkable hair formula
which every woman ought to know
about For number of years Salem
druggists have been continually called
upon to mix this formula. Undoubtedly
the use of this formula is largely the
secret of the beauty and luxuriance of
the hair Of very many Salem women
and men too. The formula consists Of
six ounces of bay rum, two ounces la
vona de composee, and one-half drachm
of menthol crystals. Some people add
a teaspoonful of perfume. A New York
physician and New York chemist were
recently consulted regarding the eff
ficacy Of this mixture and they both
say they know of nothing better to de-
stroy dandruff, stimulate hair growth,
cleanse and invigorate the scalp, stop
falling hair, and to make the hair fluff
fly and give it lustre. Any druggist
can furnish you the ingredients which
you can mix at home or will mix them
for you. Apply to the scalp night and
morning and rub in with the finger tips.

New York, Sept. 9.--WorkiRg on the
battling murder of Mrs. Elizabeth
Nichols, millionaire widow, the 30.
lice today took into custody, Onncy
Tails, her second man.
Mrs. Nichols, aged so, widow of
James W. Nichols OF the grocery firm
of Austin Nichols & Co., was strangled
to death in her palatial home by mask.
ed men last night. Jewels, valued at
many Thousands of dollars, are miss.
ing, giving tae motive efor the attack.
Inspector Faurot and the best de-
tectives of his staff are engaged ON
the case.
According to the story Tails told to.
day, the basement bell rang at clock
last night. He and the maid answered.
Three masked men jumped into the
house, ne said, grabbed the two ser.
wants and bound them. Later, Tails
said, he heard shrieks up stairs where
Mrs. Nichols was. The other servants
were out.
Struggling free of their bonds, Tails
said he and the maid dashed up stairs,
found the aged widow with a sheet
knotted about her throat, and deer
finger marks showing livid on the
flesh.
Her clothiEg was torn, her hair dis.
heveled, her side combs broken and
bits of her spectatles were scattered
over the floor, showing that she had
made a desperate fight against her as.
sailants.
The police, however, are suspicious of
Tails story He declared the crime
was committed at 8 o'clock, wnde
nour after he admitted the cmaske e.I
men. Physicians arrived ut $3.50 and
asserted Mrs. Nichols had then been
dead an hour and half, slain at tho
time when Tails said the men were ad
mitted to the mansion.
Servants interviewed by the police
this forenoon swore that they had seen
tGree men, friends of Tails, lettering
arond the mansion about s o clock last
light.
Confronted with this evidence, Tails
gave the authorities the names of scv.
eral pool room habtues and accom-.
panied Inspector Farout on tour of
Harlem poo rooms to pick them out.
Nothing, however, resulted from this
investigation.
Mrs Nichols had a passion for rare
gems, and had fortune of them in
her home.
