WIFE CHOKED AND BEATEN
Janet Mathews Files Divorce Com
plant Charging Husband With
Inhuman Treatment.

Janet Mathews asserts that ever since
she married Albert j. Mathews, five
years ago, she has been treated most
cruelty by him. and as a consequence
she is now asking for a divorce
The complaint which was filed yester-
day details at length some of the al
legged inhumanities of the husband, and
as climax to five years of abuse the
wife says that on Sept. last Mathews
attacked her. and grabbing her by the
throat, almost strangling her. She tried
TO scream for help, but she was only
choked harder. her husband sayinge
yell, you ignorant old fool"
He then put his hand over her mouth
Knocked her head against the wall and
seizing her by the feet. dragged her to
the door and threw her outside. She
alighted on her head on the doorstep
and as a result suffered from a hemor-
rhage. All the next day she suffered
severely from her injuries
Other charges against Mathews are
that he has pinched. choked and beaten
his wife continually since their mar
riage, and without the slightest provo
cation has hurled cooking utensils,
lamps and dishes at her. sworn at her
and called her most vile and obscene
names.
They were married Dec 81. 1903 and
the trouble started soon afterwards.
Last winter Mathews is said to have
complained because his wife used too
much coal. and fearing his anger she
was afraid to use enough fuel to prop
erly heat the house. and as a result suf-
fered from cold and exposure.
There are no children.

DENVER MAN SUGGESTS
JOINT TRAFFIC BUREAU
Secretary Scott Would Like to Divide
His Time Between Denver
and Salt Lake.

Union of Salt Lake and Denver BUSH
ness men in the work of securing salts
factory rates from the railroads is pro-
posed by Secretary Scott of the Colorado
Manufacturers association. Mr.. Scott.
who is said TO have met with success in
negotiations with the railroads as the rep
resentative of shippers, wishes to divide
his time between Salt Lake and Denver.
spending fifteen days here and fifteen in
Denver
The Colorado Manufacturers association
was organized in Denver manly for the
purpose of taking united action in mat
ters relating to freight rates. Mr.. Scott
was given the management of the affairs
of the association. and, it is said, allowed
a salary of about 5000 year.
The freight bureau of the Commercial
club will attend TO work similar to that
which is transacted by the Colorado as
sociation.
When o. II. Hewlett was in Denver a
short time ago. Mr. Scott talked to him
about the proposed Salt Lake-Denver COM
bination, and also spoke to Lon J. Had
dock, secretary of the Manufacturers and
Merchants association, when he was pass
ing through Denver last week on his way
back from the inspection of the iron and
steel plant at Louisville, Ky.
A few days ago Mr.. Hewlett received
a letter from Mr.. Scott concerning the
Haddock, who will present il at the next
meeting of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers association.
1t is considered improbable that Mr.
Scott's plan will be adopted. as it is
not believed that the secretary of the
Colorado association could satisfactorily
manage freight bureaus in two cities.

HOT WEATHER HARVEST
OF DEATH AMONG BABES
Statistics Show Larger Percentage Ct
Infantile Mortality This Year
Than Last.
%%%%%A% \ 4 4 y 4 \ \ y
Infants Deaths Compiled. y


From the monthly reports of the local
department of health 1t is shown that
more children under the age of two years
died during the months of May, June, July
and August 1908. than during the same
period for 1867.
The above table shows that the deaths
for these summer months this year NUM-
bered 81, while last year they were but 10.
During these months in 1907 there were
a total of 342 deaths in the city, making
the percentage of deaths occurring in the
ranks of children under the age OF Two
years about p per cent.
In 1908 there were SO deaths all told
during this period, but the percentage or
children who died to the whole is 26 per
cent. or per cent more than in 1907.
According TO officials of the board OF
health. the increase in the death rate for
is due to the long period of hot weather.
This condition did not exist in 1907
The records show that August has been
the most fatal month, % being claimed III
1907 and IS during the month just past.
That June Is the healthiest OF the TOUR
months is shown by an examination OF
the table.
During 1908 there were ~ deaths of babes
under one month old. 81 among those be-
tween one month and one year and be-
tween one and two years.
During 1907 there were % of the first
class, 80 of the second and IS of the
third.
Salt Lake Is much healthier than most
cities for the raising of children, and sta
tistics show that in most places the aver
age death rate of children under the age
of two years during the summer months
is from 81 to 40 per cent of the total num-
Der of deaths during that period

BIG SHIPMENT OF PEACHES
Utah Growers Deriving Advantage
From Intelligent Methods in
Marketing Produce.

Heavy shipments of Elberta peaches
are now being made from Provo, Og-
den, Brigham City and other points in
Utah. 1t is said that trainloads OF the
peaches are leaving Utah for the east
ern markets every day.
j. Edward Taylor. secretary OF the
state board of horticulture. in discuss
ing the Utah fruit crop yesterday, said:
The Fruit Growers associations at
Provo. Ogden, Brigham>and Salt Lake
are doing an excellent business. The
fruit from these associations is all
being distributed by the Grand juno
ton Fruit Growers association OF
Grand Junction, Colo. which associa-
ton has had expert fruit men in each
of these districts for the past three
weeks educating the growers as to the
proper packing and grading of their
fruits, and the Utah peaches being
handled by the associations are going
on the markets in first>class shape.
Report has been received by the
managers OF these associations advis-
ing that the liberia peaches in the first
cars to reach the eastern markets from
Utah are being sold 10 net the growers
from As to so cents per box. and indi-
cations favor a better market.
THE markets in all parts of the
fruit. most of which is not bringing
transportation charges. The above
prices realized by the Grand Junction
association for the stock under their
control are made possible by the fact
that their inspectors have insisted on
a grade and pack equal TO that from
Colorado. and the Utah growers who
are fortunate enough to have associat-
ed themselves with these different or
ganizations will realize very satisfac-
tory prices on their shipments, besides
receiving the benefits of the education
OF packing their peaches in system
attic manner. which enables them to re-
ceive satisfactory returns, even though
the markets are flooded with fruit.
Utah fruit growers are waking up
to the fact that a systematic method of
packing and selling their fruits is the
solution of the problem of securing
profitable returns from the fruit bust
ness"

MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts.

The value of this famous food is
shown in many ways. in addition to
what might be expected from its chem
ical analysis.
Grape Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these cereals.
1t contains also the phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains. which Nature
uses to build up brain and nerve cells.
Young children require proportiOnate-
ly more of this element, because the
brain and nervous system of the child
grows so rapidly.
Virginia mother found the value of
Grape-Nuts in not only building up her
own strength. but in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:
After my baby came I did not re-
cover health and strength. and the doc
tor said / could not nurse the baby as
did not have nourishment for her, be-
sides l was too weak.
HE said / might try a change of
diet and see what that would do. and
recommended Grape-Nuts food l
bought package and used it regular
ly. A marked change came over both
baby and I.
