MANY PEACH
BASKETS HATS
IN CITY Jv|L

Tacoma people are either i'm
proving morally or the city has
not had so many undesirable visi-
tors this month as during the
month of June. The police sta
ton blotter shows that up to noon
today 461 arrests were made dur
ing the month of July. while in
June $40 persons were booked.
Within the past few days the
department has been unusually ac-
tive in rounding UP undesirables.
During the week number of
men have been brought in and
booked on vagrancy charges.
The list also shows the names
of many women who have been
charged with being "disorderly. !"
The shelves back of the jailer's
desk are beginning to look as
though there was fire sale of
millinery on, peach basket hats
|predominating in the collection.

THE TRIAL Of
WIFE-DES[RTER

(By United Press Leased Wfre.)
ABERDEEN, July 31.-The ar
rest of Edward Lowe, jr., the son
of wealthy Michigan parents. on a
charge of wife desertion, has
caused a sensation here.
Mrs. Lowe says that the par
ents of her husband came half
way across the continent to induce
her husband to desert her. When
they refused to give her $4,000
and place $4,000 in trust for her
unborn babe she says that trouble
started, eliminating in her deser-
ton. She says that she was very
happy with her husband until her
parents came from Grand Rapids.
When she saw that they were de-
termined to separate them she
made up her mind to secure am
pie monetary provision.
Young Lowe asserts that he
gave at least half his earnings to
his wife, but that ne has not had
regular employment and has been
handicapped by his allowance
from home being cut of. He has
been released ON bonds.

About ten days was added to
the jail sentence of Memnon Ste
fanivitch Friday when Justice Ora
ham fined him $25 and costs for
provoking an assault upon the
part of Nathon Levin. The court
held that to convict the defend
ant upon this charge 1t was not
necessary that an assault must
have been made, II the proyoca-
tion was sufficient.
Levin. who brought the charge
against Stefanvitch, accuses him
of having made love to Levin's
wife. The attorney for the de-
PENDANT attempted to show that
Levin and his wife were never
married and that they were mem
bers of the home colony at Joes
Bay. but he was overruled by the
court. Levin was informed by the
court that he need not answer the
questions along this line and he
chose not 20 do so.

COAL COMPANY
LOSES APPEAL

OLYMPIA, July 31.-The SUI
preme court yesterday upheld a
verdict rendered in the superior
court of Pierce county awarding
A. F. Blair and. w. B. Van Grea-
son $1,263.50 from the Wilkeson
Coal & Coke company. The men
were employed as engineers by the
coal company and designed coal
washer for which they were to re-
ceive $500 month for four
months for operating, $1,000 hav-
ing been paid for the machine.
After the first two payments had
been made, the company ordered
them to stop work and they sued
to recover the balance due.

from undue fatigue is probably
much greater than the waste from
serious illness.
PREVENTION is the first step
in increasing the breadth of life.
Ideal conditions for health and
long life comprise pure and dis
ease-free atmosphere; pure food
and a pure water supply; protec-
tion from accident, and a proper
adjustment of work, rest and
amusement. Human beings are
as easy to cultivate as other ami
mails and plants.
People who have lived to be
over 100 have usually been per-
sistent followers of some rules of
rational hygiene-personal health
even though they took care of
themselves unconsciously.
Recent examples of men who
have heightened their lives may
be mentioned; young doctor
who was given up to die five
years ago, but who today can run
25 miles without rest; and DR..
Horace Fletcher, who, at As, was
rejected for life insurance, but
who later got his insurance and
celebrated his fiftieth birthday by
cycling 100 miles.
The air a man breathes should
first of all be pure-free from in
furious microbes, dust, smoke and
gases.
The ideal conditions of health
require perfect balance of work,
play and sleep. The growing
practice of sleeping out of doors
is one of the most significant
signs of the times. The windows
of working and living rooms
ought to be opened in summer
and somewhat in winter, provided
a window board is used to drive
the cold air upward from the sill.
Air baths are as important for
bodily health as water baths.
Tight shoes and tight eorsets
ought never to be worn.

Committee.)
What is the normal human
lifetime? Many estimates have
been made, based on all sorts of
reasoning, the figures extending
from rs to 200 years. The me-
dunn age at present for death
from old age is SO. We may con-
clude that the normal life at pres
ent is over 83.
1t would be surprising IL the
future should not witness fur
Their frightening of human life
and at an increasing rate. OF
course, there is limit to the in
crease of human life, but there is
good reason to believe that the
limit is still far off. Pure water,
pure milk, pure air and protec-
ton from accident are the chief
means known at present to pro-
long life.
When the public makes up its
mind to endure no longer impure
light, air, milk and unreasonable
danger to life and limb, life will
lengthen eight years and prOba-
bly, god deal more.
My estimate Of 10 years as the
possible prOlongation of life
merely is a minimum estimate.
"Old age has been assumed as
unpreventable. Yet Metchnikoff
maintains, with. reason. that old
age is a malady that can be post
poned.
In Portland, Ore, Mrs. Mary
l.. Wood died recently at the age
of 40 years. From this we may
conclude that If today notwith-
standing all existing chances of
death, it is possible for some per-
sons to live to 100, the chances
in the future If with better care
and more knowledge for a large
proportion of persons will be i'm
proved.
The practice of medicine which
for many years has been known
as healing art is undergoing a
radical revolution. The change is
based on the conviction that an
ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure. The people them
selves are learning to ask their
family physician to keep them
we'll rather than to cure them aft
er they are sick.
we must conclude that the
length of human life is dependent
on certain definite conditions and
can be either increased or dimin-
ished by changing these condi-
tions.
In three or four centuries we
may see an increase in the span
of life of 100 per cent. When a
person is free from all ailments he
usually calls himself well" En-
durance, however, is measured by
the slowness with which strength
decreases through exertion.
OF all poisons in ordinary use
alcohol and tobacco are the most
common. Poisons also may enter
the system through food.

REPORTED RESUMPTION.
Rrom rhursday.s Daily,

Information from McCabe yester- day was to the effect that work on the Gladstone mine at that place was to start up immediately and that John R. Davis would be entrusted with the management of the property. Up to August 1st it was operated by Mas sey, Hammer & Co.,, who surrendered it at the expiration of their lease to the Ideal Mining company. The statement is also made that the prop erty is to be equipped with machinery that will afford deeper workings than are at present available, the intention being to sink to 2,OO0 feet and to follow out an extensive system of un- derground exploitation from this main working shaft.

 On his person were several small business cards that had his name to- gether with Prescott, Arizona" t" thereon.
 The body was so badly deeomposed that it was impossible to identify the features. Nearby were his two mules, also dead.
 The last seen of Bisbee alive was three weeks previous to the finding of his remains, and it is said that he had gone to locate at another point and prospect the country adjacent.
 He was about 62 years of age, en- tering the army when very young. He was a native of Tennessee.

BODY OF B|SbEE FOUND IN
 DESERT Former Prescott Resident Meets a Terrible
 Death
(From Saturdays DaiIy)

What is believed to be the body of George Bisbee, was found recently on the desert that borders on the Pana- mint range of mountains in southern California, and the supposition is that he perished from thirst.
 MT. Bisbee several years ago was resident of Prescott, following vari- Ous lines of trade work, and was gen. orally recognized as an advanced man in mining and milling. He was a member of the c. A. R. and on en- tering the army of the union adopted the name of Bisbee to conceal his identity from relatives. His real name was Taylor. He was a contributor to the Arizona Miner on mineralogical subjects, and was eonversant with the mechanical end of the printing busi- ness. He made quite fortune in
