Perfect Adjustment Eleans If you've ever had the misfortune to own a cheaply constructed sewing machine, you'il know what it means to have parts constantly breaking, or the machine refuse to run for some seemingly unaccountable reason. Singer quality and the perfect adjustment of every Singer machine save you such discouraging experiences.

Every Singer runs so light and easy as to require practically no effort on your part to do the heaviest sewing. Many women use a Singer who haven't strength enough to operate ordinary machines. The Singer does all the work, runs noiselessly and does not easily get out of order. I Should repairs or new parts, needles, ever be needed there's always a Singer store nearby to save you annoying delays. ttems of Interest in ito.d Around the City.

Sunday witn tne unristian Kndeavorers was a change from the four busy days that preceded it, and appeared to give great pleasure.

The rallies in the Auditorium and Central Presbyterian Church were curtailed, and a score of churches, whose pulpits were occu pieJ mostly by visiting ministers or laymen, invited the delegates to their societies. But most of them, even if they were in their places in church, did more or less of sight-seeing, and not a few took journeys to Lake Min-netonka or elsewhere. Today was the last day of the convention. Sessions were held in the Auditorium and in several churches in the morning and afternoon, witn a noonday rally in the Metropolitan Opera House. Many prominent speakers them Delng representatives of the were heard during the day, among Christian Endeavor society in Mexico, 'Japan, Africa, China and other parts of the world.

The principal to the liberation of Harry K. Thaw from the Matleawan asylum for criminal insane, it became known today is his wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.

Young Mrs. Thaw has made remarka ble 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 amaavit 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 Matteawan to see her husband.

Thaw said to her: "I will be out in a little while, and when I am, I am going down to New York and kill you." lie 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 intermittent. 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. haw has been served with a subpoena requiring her to appear at Whit-2 Plains today and she announc ed her readiness to go. The question of Thaw's sanity is all that will be touched upon in the present hearing EARLY RECEIVES FRIENDS. North Carolinian Who Was Isolated as Leper Is Declared Untainted.

New York, July 9. John R. Early, the young Southerner heralded about the country as a leper, gave a reception tonight to prove that he is untainted. It was held at the New York Skin and Cancer Hospital, and was attended by medical men, a number of Early's friends, and a sprinkling of the general public interested in the case. Early, who lately came from Washington, where he was quarantined for nearly a year, received his guests cordially and discussed his recent isolation.

The reception was arranged by Dr. Duncan Bulkely, the specialist who brought Early here, to show that there is nothing leprous about the man. Early related a humorous incident at the expense of the Washington authorities: "hat did you do when they had you shut up?" he was asked. "I raised chickens," he said, "and both the chickens and their eggs were sent into Washington and sold in the open market." What Early has. Dr.

Bulkely ex plained, is a simple inflammation of the skin, caused by the alkali used in the pulp mill where he formerly worked in North Carolina. Dr. Bulkely says that after a care ful examination not the slightest trace of the bacillus of leprosy was found. But as a precaution, he said, Early will probably be kept at the hospital for a week or so more, so that the diagnosis may be confirmed by other dermatologists. NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED. (la hlness Is Too Generally Considered 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 baldness is too generally accepted as an indication of age. Many large corporations have established an age limit, and refuse to take men over 35 years age as new employees. Almost 65 per cent, of bald headed people may regain a good head of healthy hair if they will follow our nlvice and accept our offer.

We have a remedy that we positively guarantee to grow hair on any head, unless the oots 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 tke remedy used during the trial. We know exactly what we are talk ing about, and with this offer back of our statements no one should scoff. 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 "98" Hair Tonic.

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 its roots, and grow new hair, we will return every cent paid us for the remedy for the mere asking. There is no formality expected, and we exact no obligation from the user whatever. We are established right here in Goldsboro. and make this offer with a full understanding that our business success entirely depends upon the sort of treatment we accord our customers, and we would not dare make the above offer unless we were posi tively certain that we could substantiate it in every particular.
