departure of Councilman Bridges for
an extended trip east few days ago
have anything to do with the intention
to present them tonight?
These are few of the questions be-
ing asked these days by some of those
who keep an eye on things municipal.
Repeal of the ordinances passed last
November would mean that the city
would be left holding the sack in the
injunction suit brought against it by
the property owners of South Second
street. Walla Walla would be forced
to allow a dismissal of the case and
pay the good round sum already piled
up as costs in the action.
For Better Opportunity.
Failure of the council to meet tonight
means that the "made-by-Reese" Ordi-
nances will repose quietly in the peck
ct of Captain Mexican of the bitulithic
squad, until February 5, unless the
mayor calls a special meeting sooner
If things had gone according to alleg-
ed schedule tonight it would have
meant the present contracts for $780,
OCO worth of paving which the Warren
people now refuse to do because of the
shakiness of the authorizing ordinan-
ces would have been doctored up in &C.
cordance with the description of Doc
tor Frank Reese
Bachtold is the Pivot.
What attitude Councilman Bachtold
will take is the absorbing point of in
terest in the whole question now, say
those best informed.
His recent stand on the 1-4-7 spe-
cification ordinance won him warm
words of commentator from friends
of square deal in the city affairs 1t is
freely predicted that the boast of the
bitulithic squad that they will whip
him back in line is bluff and that when
the roll is called on the paving ques- |
tino hereafter the sturdy "landsmann"
from the Second ward will be on the |
side of the people.

THE HIRSUTE RIGHTS OF MAN.

The primal and incalculable right OF
a man to wear whiskers in any style
he pleases, always provided that ma
ture has been kind enough to make MS
hirsute ambitions possible, has been
called into question in France. The
EMPLOYERS association of Paris has
set forth the dictum that all servants
must be clean shaver. The result OF
this unwarranted invasion of the
rights of man in supposedly free
country has been a storm of protest
from the SNUG mugs. They have held
great mass meetings to assert anew
their right to wear whiskers if they
want to and as they want. Walters.
coachmen footmen and Wallets have
become wildly gesticulating orators
for the nonce. Was this the boosted
liberty, fraternity and equality OF the
republic? A bas the smooth face!
Vive the mustachio, the imperial, the
muttonchop. Shall a patriot, who
stormed the Bastile and roared the
.'Marseillaise" while arstOcrats trem-
bled, be forced now to advertise by his
face his servitude? A thousands thun-
ders, no!
The whisker controversy has be-
come so fierce that it bids fair to
become a political issue. If the pro-
letariat of walters wins its point and
garcon grows beard, there will be
nothing for the fashionables to do but
adopt the American custom and Og
clean shaver. There must be a differ
ence somehow The waiter already
has the dress suit and with fierce mus
taches he will look like the real thing
from the Fauborg ST. Germaine. The
aristocrat may find balm for the sac
rifice of his whiskers in that classic
American epigram:
of man is bald. it is his mis-
fortune; if he wears a beard, it's his
own fault"

Heppner was compelled to lay off a
few days on account of his injury.
The injury is alleged to have been
received September 5. 1905, while at
the fair grounds in this city. while a
labor celebration was being held. WAL
ter B. Moore. the defendant, after hav-
ing finished a 6-mile race with an
automobile, was leaving the track
when a small boy ran in front of the
machine and to keep from running
over the boy Moore made a sharp turn
to the right. The turn was made with
such abruptness and violence that a
bolt in the steering apparatus was
broken and the machine could not be
turned back to the track and before
the car could be stopped it ran into
the fence. Heppner was sitting on the
fence at the time and in trying to get
out of the way he was injured in the
left leg near the ankle.

ADJUSTMENTS
BLANCHE WALSH SCORES.

Blanche Walsh has scored heavily
in THE Straight Road the new
Clyde Fitch play that has been pro.
duced under the management of Wag-
enhals & Kemper, at the Astor thea
ter, New York. Some of the New
York newspapers have criticised the
play as being sensational, but the
majority of them are unanimous in
their opinion that it is the greatest
play that Clyde Fitch has yet written,
and that Miss Walsh has made the
success of her career in the part of
Mol O'Hara'
The Straight Road" is conceded
to be play written on unconven-
tional. lines, and one that will live,
because of the vital human interest
of it's scenes, and the naturalnesS of
its characters.
In commenting on the play the
New York Press says: "One of the
most remarkable plays Broadway has
seen in many years." The Herald
says: 1T is a stirring play of human
emotions" The Sun says: Powerful
and convincing throughout intensely
dramatic situations The Telegraph
says: Smart, brilliant and daringly
original" The Post says: "The real
ism of Miss Walsh was undeniable."
The World says: 1T is a live throb-
bling thing. It's paved with the right
sort of stuff and is interesting every
step of the way"

Even assuming Hack should be licked
the world will still regard him as the
greatest wrestler.
But that is not enough for Hack He
fears defeat like the smallpox and vii,
hardly risk fight with O'Brien until
he has convinced himself at the ex
pense of some lesser light that he can
beat him.
Surprising. now. that after severa'
private trials with others than Gunner
NOR Hack fOOzles as a fighter what
is to become Of him, seeing that almost
every one abroad has seen him wres-
tie, and there are no more fields in the
grapple game for him to conquer?
The resourcefuI Cochran has provid.
ed for just such an emergency. and the
plan looks so good that it will probably
be carried out whether or not Hack
weathers the trial as fighter
In October and November of 1907
Cochran has Hack booked for si1
weeks at the Alhambra, London. in an
entirely new repertory of physical cul
ture thrillers. You must know Hack
Is an all around athlete Of the first wa
ter, and as Sandow, Macfadden and
others have accumulated riches on the
physical culture bunk Cochran sees
several millions in 1t for Hack, who
will depart from the usual custom by
really delivering the goods.
His act will consist of some difdlcull
stunts on the bars. both horizontal anG

GREETING.

Thrice welcome to Walla Walla YOU
OF the lively towns, the busting cities
and growing county seats, where men
are noted for their dash and business
ability, where the women are beauti-
full as well as virtuOus and industrious.
Welcome to this garden spot where
the snow falls twice and the chinook
comes three times in a day; where
clearance sales are the fashion and
piercing arrows and yellow tags the
fads: where ice cream is fifteen cents
dish and whiskey ten cents a drink:
where the street cars run on Sunday
and prayer meetings are held every
other night.
Come unto US you live. hustling
business men and jolly. good fellows.

Nor, Thank 1ou.

Eyes, Hackenschmidt may some day
enter the prize ring. but his first fight
will not be with Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien, I'll promise you that
That was the gist of a line Of most
interesting conversation banded to the
writer recently by Charles 3. Cochran,
manager of George Hackenschmidt,
the worlds greatest wrestler. Coch.
ran is in this country for few weeks
to look after some business affairs.
Hack will never go wrong if he sticks
to Cochran. Cochran has Billy Nolan
beaten to death as 'getter." But
don't infer from this that he's another
rough, arrogant grabber like Bat Mel
sons manager. No; Mr.. Cochran is the
polite, suave, polished English gentle
man. And he's long on brain. If you
doubt it you ought to see the plans
he's got mapped out for Hack. He's
booked up solid for two years in the
foreign playhouses for never less than
$1,000 week.
Unfortunately. however. Hacken-
schmidt is in the same predicament
as Jeffries. There is not a man on
earth who can give him a tussle ON the
mat, and consequently all his stage
work-he meets all Corners each night

So Hack is taking up boxing.
When be was in this country year
ago last winter he had already had
about a years instruction with Gunner
Moir, considered one of the best heav-
les in England and who made the trip
around the world with Hack.
Hack was then an enthusiast on box.

to Cochran. He spends all his spare
time boxing with Gunner Moir.
In fact. Cochran and Hack have
adopted Moir and backed him for ST..

The most fascinating subject that
can present itself to the human mind
is the one that deals with the extern
sion of the span of life. Mankind,
reasoning, conscious of it's power,
! self conscious so to speak, shrinks
| from the immutable law that DEGREES
an end to all organisms. In former
ages, impelled by this deep-rooted in
stinct, men lent willing ear to fantas-
| tic stories of eternal life. Such an
one was the Greek legend of Tithonus,
and for such an one Ponce de Leon
spread his sails to search for that
fountain whose magic waters were to
restore his youth.
Science and a deeper knowledge of
| the facts of existence have driven us
beyond the point where unlimited NOR
tai life can longer seem a possibility.
But to that same science we have
turned for a crumb of comfort. Death
is inevitable, but can we not increase
the days of life? Is there not some
method of attaining longevity? Is it
not possible, moreover to avoid that
dreaded condition that we call ''old
age" with its attendant loss of the
faculties? To these questions the an
swer until recently was a categorical
no.
Within two years, however, M.
Metchnikoff, Of the Institute Pasteur
in Paris. probably the most eminent
biologist Of the time, has come for
ward with the startling statement that
the infirmities of old age are no ma
tural phenomena, not compulsory, that
"old age" is in reality a disease, and
that a hundred years from now physi-
clans will treat it and cure it as they
now successfully cope with typhoid or
whoOping cough. The result of this
new attitude and the accumulation of
medical skill through the years, will
be to increase materially the average
length of life.
This theory advanced by NJ. Metch-
nikoff is the outcome of the police
man corpuscle' theory or explanation
of disease promulgated by the same
ClhiiCht oSiChtiSI oCNSAe'i ySOA c0O'
By this the function of the white COR
puscles Of the blood is defined to be
to attack invading microbes, Destroy
ing them and thus maintaining bodily
health, or being themselves destroyed
when disease results. He now goes
further and says that 'old age" is
brought about by the gradual increase
Of disorganizing elements in the sys-
tenn due to the weakening of the It's
sues by the continual combat between
cOrpuscle and microbe. The defensive
elements in their normal condition Sc
crete protective substance which
guards against the voracious bacillus.
This protective substance has ten
dency to be nullified by the poisons
secreted by the bacteria of the great
intestine.
This brings the point of the theory.
If the intestinal bacilli can be lessened |
in number and virulence the effects of |
their poisons can be largely dis |
counted by the ordinary protective Sc
cretions of the defensive elements. |
This will tend to maintain the. organs |
in a normal state and the faculties |
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-01-22
SAYS OLD AGE is DISEASE

will be retained until the vital force
runs out. In other words, if the bac-
terra generated by unnatural ferment-
alton during digestion can be reached
we can live to ripe and active old
age.
M. Metchnikoff thinks the auto-in-
toxication due to the presence of bac-
terra can be reached in the most eff
fective manner by the use Of a GER
tain preparation Of curdled milk. OBJ
servation told him the bacteria exist
more readily under alkaline conditions
Alkaline centers, are present under the
ordinary diet of meat and vegetables.
Following this he found that the ac-
ton of certain calculating bacilli is
fatal to the germ of putrescence. and
particularly valuable in this connec-
ton is the Tactic bacillus found in
"yoghourt" the almost exclusive diet
of the Bulgarian and Roumanian
mountaineers.
tistics of Europe will show how
completely these significant discover
les fit in with actual results. Out of
fifty-five millions persons in Germany
there are fewer than eighty that are
more than hundred years old. Among
the forty million in France are 213
persons that have passed the century
mark. In Spain, with eighteen mill
lion inhabitants, are 40 centenarians.
Coming to Roumania, with six and a
half million, there are 1884 that nave
seen their hundredth birthday, while
in Bulgaria. with less than four mill
lion population, there are 1888.
The astonishing figures bear out ex-
actly NJ. Metchnikoff's idea of the
dietary causes of long life. The Ger
mans are large eaters, consuming
quantities of heavy meats and vege-
tables. Further south the national
diet is larger, including a larger
amount Of healthful green vegetables,
such as garlic and salads. In the
mountains of the Balkan peninsula the
diet Of the natives consists almost
wholly of "yoghourt,' declared by NJ.
Metchnikoff to be the ideal food To
it is undoubtedly attributable the re-
markable health of the people that
use it, as we'll as to the high average
of age obtaining among them.
1t is NJ Metchnikoff prediction
that the first step toward general and
healthful old age will be made by
the widespread adoption of "yog
hourt'' as a food, with the cOnsump
ton of little or no meat, and more
fruits and vegetables. This diet, he
holds, will diminish abnormal ferment-
alton, abolish the destructive bacteria
and be conducive to health and long
evity.
Among the Bulgarians "yOghOurt"
is prepared in the following manner:
A small quantity of milk is curdled at
a temperature of SIS degrees Fahren-
heit, until it is acid. The cream is
then removed and put aside as a fer
menter. Milk in large shallow bowls
is then placed over a fire and kept at
a temperature of 145 degrees until 1t

Changes His Mind at State Line.
Baker City Herald.

Will the Oregon passholder who is
bound for Walla Walla or Boise from
Portland buy through ticket to his
destination? OF course he will-nOt.
His little game will be to use his
transportation to the state line, then
change his mind and his destination
to the point on the other side to which
he will buy a ticket from the station
where the value of his pass expires. Of
all the farcical rulings ever made
everyone must take off his hat to this
one.
