-~O those who are in the habit OF

Georgian banker, y. Sanders Walker,
who died as the result of swallowing
tablet of corrosive sublimate by mistake,
has greater meaning than the usual news
paper tragedy. The thought of accidental
poisoning is far from pleasant, but this
IS an age of poisons, and several Of the

now to be found in the average medicine
chest in the form of salves, disinfectants
and lotions. The very poison from which

and pathology.
Twelve years ago Professor
Migge, then baeteriologist at the
University of Berlin, began
study of the cause of badness
and other hair troubles, and this
study verified the fact, then ac-
cepted by theorists in e-bacterielogy,
that infinitesimal bacteria. infesting
the hair roots and It's hollow canals.
were responsible for the breaking,
falling and destruction of the hair
thus causing badness. With this
discovery verified the scientist con-
tinued his researches until he had
found an application of chemistry TO
destroy these bacteria without harm
ing the hair itself For more than
FIVE years Professor Migge kept his
secret TO himself. While he demon
strated his method 10 his own salts
faction upon hundreds of subjects
whom he invited into his laborato-
ries. Tt was only when he had con-
vinced himself that his method was
infallihle wherever nature itself had
not made 1t impossible for restora-
tion of the hair by any method that
he introduced 1t to the world and in
vited the public to avail itself of its
benefits.

Evans, according to her suit for di-

rior court against Herbert Wilmer
Evans, owner of a Butte county ranch,
worth about $40. 900 Mrs. Evans SAYS
that for three years her husband had
treated her with extreme cruelty, ap-
plying epithets frequently in the pres

causing her mental anguish and hu-
initiation. Other allegations are also
made.
Reciting her claims to the commu-
nifty property, Mrs. Evans asserts her
interest IN the Evans farm at Honcut
Butte county. She also declares that
he is entitled to half the money they
have ino the banks Of Marysviile and
other counties. They were married In
