Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. Con
gresham Thomas W. Miller has writ
ten letter to Secretary of Commerce
William c. Redheld. because Of the
statement issued by the Department
of Commerce today. relative TO the
closing Of the government fish hatch
cry and cultural station on the Sus-
quehanna river, at Havre de Grace.
Nd The Secretary Of Commerce is
not permitted to expend any OF the
appropriation unless the laws OF the
State in which the hatchery is located
are sufficient, in his opinion, for the
protection Of fishes. In this case he
has ruled that the laws OF Maryland
are inadequate.
As bill has passed the House OF
Representatives at Washington, pro
viding for q government hatchery
along the Delaware river In the state
of Delaware. a measure which Repre-
sentative Miller introduced and aided.
and there is a possibility OF its becom-
ing a law Mr.. Miller thought II
good idea 10 learn from the Secretary
of Commerce whether In his opinion,
there is any need of additional legis-
lation in Delaware before the estab-
lishment of the hatchery would be
permitted.

WINTER AND SPRING TONIC

Winter is hard season for those who
have no stored up reserve OF strength.
The coming of trying spring weather
means sickness for many because de-
bility robs the system of its power to
protect itself.
One person may suffer exposure to
cold and wet without any ill effects
while another whose blood is thin and
whose nerves are rundown will be con-
fined to bed after sitting in a draught.
Keeping the blood built up is the
secret OF keeping well in winter and
spring. DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People are the best and most con-
venient tonic for the blood. Put up
with complete directions for use they
are a family remedy that can be de-
pended upon in conditions of thin
blood, debility and many common
forms of weakness.
The blood goes to practically every
part of the body and if it is rich and
red it carries health and strength to
every organ. The digestion is toned
up, the nerves are strengthened and
aching muscles are made strong. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are especially USE
full to rundown women who worry
about their daily tasks and duties.
A few weeks treatment has in hum
dreds of such cases brought the most
rem. .rkable improvement.

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut Gil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any,
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance or rich.
creamy lather, which rinses out easily.
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can. get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.

THREE MURDER TRIALS
ON In COURT AT ONCE


Jamestown, accused of killing Joseph
Tuchiz.
Just as the Commonwealth opened
its case against Misko, with Assistant
District Attorney Frank b. Wicker
sham in charge of the prosecution, the
jury on the Yovonovic case reported
to the court that a verdict had been
reached. Shortly after this was given,
both sessions adjourned.
Mislxo Jury
The jury in the Misko case follows:
Ralph Shearbocker, of Harrisburg;
Frank e. Lingle. South Hanover town.
ship; Jonathan PotteIger, Lower Pax
ton township; George b. Shaeffer, Up
per Paxton township; Elmer Swell
gard, Susquehanna township; William
b. Kaylor, Highspire; Walter E. Wal
born, Millersburg; Harry j. Peflsy,
South Hanover township; Albert w.
Mehaffie, Harrisburg; Charles w.
Hartwick, Harrisburg; Glen p. Shell
ley, Harrisburg, and William A.
Adams, Harrisburg.
Two veniremen who were called for
service declared they had conscien-
tious scruples against capital punish
ment. When the challenge for cause
by the Commonwealth was oVerruled
by Judge Henry, the jurors were chal-
lenged peremptorily.
The White case was resumed in
courtroom No. l, before President
Judge George Kunkel, shortly before
noon. District Attorney Michael e.
Stroup declined to accept a plea of
guilty of murder in the second degree
in the case, and j. Rollin Bennett at
torney for White, opened the defense.
1t is probable that the jury may be
charged late this afternoon.
The next defendant who will prob
ably be called of the nine listed for
murder" week will be William c.

down small boy, Joseph Husek, last
october, in an auto accident near Jed
