Considers Harry Thaw A Persecuted Man NEW YORK. June 2t Harry Thaw (s sane, and he Is being kept in Mattea kan State Hospital solely through ofti tial vanity, Is the opinion of Dr. Brltton p. Evans, the noted alienist and medi cal director of the Morris Plains Hos pital for the insane "I consider Harry Thaw a persecuted man," said Dr. Evans "If I thought 1 could be of aid lo him 1 would cross Into New York or any other State In Ihe Union. Jerome Is posing for the hewBpapeis. I would go on the stand K Jerome really wished It, but he soesn't. I have no wish to cater to the ranlty of an already Inflated prosecu tor, who, would abrfdge the Ten Com mandments to make a minor law point. "Three elements are at work against BThaw's release. One Is judicial courtesy. Budges dislike to overrule each other's Judgments. Another Is official vanity. Another is tho professional sensitive ness of a group of alienists who would rather see a sane man end his life in a Refuge for the criminal insane than re verse their opinions and acknowledge themselves wrong."

"1 nm not anxious to discuss what happened," she said today, "but 1 will say that I cared for some one else more than I did for Captain Alleyne, and that some one else Is my husband. "I guess all of my friends know this, and I cannot see why anyone , else should be at nil interested. Perhaps It was not oulte the ordinary thing to do, but then Detroit Is a part or the West, at least I hao always ben taught so. nnd Western girls feel they should marrv tho men the. love and take the other matters Into consideration later Was this a romance? Well, I hardly know. Perhaps It might bo called that I am not telling what I think It was. I nad known Mr. BrookH for a long time, and I had known the captain a com paratively short time.

When you comb and brush your hair in tho morning, watch for the "TRAILERS" that turn grey, fall out, and comb out with the first morning brush. You MUST know that there's something wrong. If your hair was in good health, it wouldn't fall out, nature never intended that. There is something wrong at the root of things-the hair needs a tonic-a restorer. When you are sick you take medicine. That is your first thought. Its turning grey, falling out, are both ways the hair has of "complaining of illness." It can't do it in any other way. Do YOUR part.
