NATURE SPARES


What a fortunate provision of nature
1t is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover, in the height of its
blooming glory, that a oanker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
.store-house Of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast q gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women. but thanks to the in
designations of scientists the true causc
of hair destruction Is now known to be
q germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's HArpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading drug
gists. Send Toe. in stamps for sample

Chicago Judge Holds That
Millionaire Must Pay His
Former Wife $33,301

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-George T. Hard
ing, Chicago millionaire and clubman,
has lost his contest over the payment
OF $500 a month alimony to his wife,
Mrs. Adelaide Nj. Harding, and in an
opinion given to-day Judge Gibbons
found Harding not only responsible for
future payments, but in contempt OF
court for arrearages to the amount
of 3,201. This amount Harding must
pay within ten days or he will be
lodged in the County Jail. according TO
The decree.
After bitter contest and AN appeal
to the Supreme Court, Harding brought
suit for an absolute divorce in San
Diego, Cal. charging desertion. He
was granted the decree originally, the
decision being sustained by the Su-
preme Court of California
In a decision here to-day, however,
Judge Gibbons holds that the separate
maintenance decree of the Cook Coun-
ty court is still binding upon the real
estate man, Notwithstanding the di-
vorce granted by the San Diego court.
Judge Gibbons says:
II is claimed by Harding that the decree Of
divorce granted by the Superior Court of San
Diego County and affirmed by the Supreme
Court OF that State absolutely severed the rela-
lions Of and wife between himself and
stitution this court is bound to give the same
force and effect to said decree as If the decree
had been rendered by the Circuit Court OF the

would probably be substantially correct, but

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 15.-Hurling a
curse at his divorced wife, ]. w. Car
roll cut his throat with a razor in the
Police Court this afternoon and fell
dead, almost at the woman's feet.
Carroll was arrested yesterday on
complaint OF his wife on charge of
having used abusive language. The

when the Judge asked Carroll if he
wished to cross-examine the witness.
YES" cried Carroll. rushing toward
the witness stand and leveling a finger
at the woman. Il told you what I'd
do"
He drew a razor from his coat sleeve
and savagely slashed his throat, almost
decapitating himself.
Mrs. Carroll stood quietly for an in

Carroll continued to annoy her and the
children by calling at her house when

of Salt Lake. He was the father of four
small children.
