Girl Charges That Suitor Broke Engagement on Ground That Brother Had Tuberculosis. CHICAGO, Sept. 8.—The first suit to test the law of eugenics has been brought by Miss Rose Markewsky, of No. 907 Myrtle street. She filed, through her attorney, Clarence A. Toolen, a bill for $25,000 against Charles F. Drucker. of No. 92s South Ashland avenue, charging that he broke their engagement on the ground that her older brother has tubercu losis. “This so-called chivalrous excuse of Mr. Drucker may be eugenics, but I can not see it,” declared Miss Mar kewsky. “The very idea of his resorting to these tactics is not only contemptible but ridiculous. Why did not he show a spark of manhood and ask to be released from his engagement with out trumping up such an absurd ex cuse. “If eugenics enters into the case at all, 1 feel confident that any jury would make the breaking of the en gagement optional with. me. I can play better golf and tennis than Mr. Drucker. In fact, I think any vio lent exercise test. He could not even stand the physical test for the police department. “Wait until my so-called invalid brother hears about this—that’s all.

Young American Undergoes Third Degree Preparatory to Being Put on Trial. Send for a Sample Bottle of maim Special Cable to The American. COMO, ITALY, Sept. 6.—Some thing of the cheerful indifference of Porter Charlton seems gone. The young American, awaiting trial on the charge that he killed his beauti ful wife shortly after their marriage three years ago, has grown nervous under the strain of the exacting third degree of the Italian police. More than once the delicate-seem ing youth has been on the verge of collapse when the police remorseless ly plied him with questions, and, in the sinister way that belongs to no one else but Italian police, sought to break his nerve. But only when his father entered his cell, a day or two ago, did any thing like an actual break of nerve occur. Then the young man threw himself on his father’s breast and cried like a baby. The father. Judge Paul Charlton, was shaken also by the demonstration, but not to such an extent as was his son. Away from the police, however, Charlton seems to collect himself. He has made himself as comfortable as possible in his cell in St. Domi nick prison, laying in a supply of his favorite tobacco, obtaining a book in which he purposes to keep a diary, and devoting himself to the study of Italian. His father has joined him in learning the language, that the two might easily follow the course of the trial. Charlton will be put on trial in No vember, until which time he will be | forced to undergo the fearful ordeal j of an Italian police inquisition. The refinement of cruelty, it is said, at- I I tends this experience, and every pres- I sure is brought to bear on the prls- | I oner, from the gantlet of a thou- I sand questions to solitary imprison ment in dingy, filthy dungeons. Many prisoners have been known become raving maniacs under the system. During all his three years of con- | finement in a New Jersey jail Charl ton w’as building up his health by careful living and frequent exercise. He seemed all the time to be obsessed by the fear of the ordeal in Italy, al though none except the most careful observers could observe the dread. Newbro’s Herpicide We want everyone to become acquainted with a hair preparation that not only promises to do certain things, but does them. We want every person having trouble with their hair to t>ecome familiar with the merits of Newbro’s Herpicide, to experience its subtle but ex quisite odor and to see the beautifying effect which it 1ms upon the hair. There is a germ or microbe which lodges in the scalp and the result is the scale-like accumulation we call dandruff. That dandruff is due to a germ is no longer a theory, but a scientifically established fact. The existence of this germ was proven by M. Sabouraud, an eminent French scientist, who inoculated a rabbit with human dandruff, causing the rabbit to become denuded of hair in six weeks. A similar demonstration with a guinea pig was later made by Drs. Lesser and Bishop in England. The fact that Newbro’s Herpicide is compounded in harmony with the germ theory of dandruff accounts for its extraordinary success in the treatment of this ailment. Thousands of users have found Herpicide most dependable for the eradication of dandruff, to stop itching of the scalp and to pre vent falling hair. It receives the highest endorsements. The re sults attending its intelligent use are a revelation and stamp New bro’s Herpicide as wonderfully reliable. Newbro’s Herpicide is always positive in its action. Every promise made for it in the advertising, on the label or by the dealer who sells it, is backed up by one hundred per cent of the most pleas ing and satisfying efficiency.
