2 HERE'S THE REASON WHY YOU COULDN'T GO, KIDS Spokane's treasury' was enrich- ed by SI 00 by the Greater Sells- Floto Show Co. today. This is the sum charged for a license for one day's performance for all shows charging an admission fee of 50 cents or over and having a seating capacity of less than 6,000 people. Even at this the poor little fel- lows scattered all over the city, just hankering to get a look at the elephant squirting water in the arena and the monkey doing tricks at the side show, are all outcasts. Restrictions placed on children's public gatherings as a means of preventing the spread of scarlet fever contagion will not be re- moved till tonight at 12 o'clock. By that time the show will be gone and the only look at it the kids will have had was in this morning's parade. In explaining this action this morning Dr. Grieve, city health of- ficer, said: "There is still some scarlet fever about the city, and if a few children who are just get- ting it should go to the circus at least 40 or 50 cases would spring from it. There will be other cir- cuses here this summer and it will be better to use all possible pre- cautionary methods against the spread of the disease now than to take chances on being under quarantine the greater part of the summer." GREENMAN IS BEINGPURSUEO OFFICERS HOT IN PURSUIT OF THE WOUNDED CATTLE RUSTLER? HAS FLEO TO THE BIG BEND. With a number of deputies, in- cluding Clarence Long, J. T. Lo- gan. Howard Doak and S. D. Doak, hot on his trail, Tom Greenman, the wounded cattle thief, had suc- ceeded in evading capture up to noon today. There was a rumor afloat this morning that he had been caught at Coulee City, but at the office of Sheriff Pugh the rumor was stated' to be without foundation. It was also said that Greenman was wounded in three places and that his friends, of whom he has quite a number through the Big Bend country, are assisting him. The stolen cattle were brought to the city by Deputy Sheriff J. T. Logan, who participated in the gun duel, and they will be held here until the various owners can be located. DONOVAN IS 111 11 Deputy Prosecutor William C. Donovan today launched upon his investigation of county affairs with a view to presenting some light to the grand jury when it reconvenes September 1. Donovan will give his entire time to the inquiry while it is in pro- gress and will leave no stone un- turned to get at the facts. ?When it comes to handling mat- ters with figures Donovan is the sleuth of the prosecutor's office. He goes after a column of figures with about as much eagerness as some men turn in to a square meal. The farmers who have been clamoring for an investigation of county affairs heartily endorse the action of Prosecutor Pugh in pick- ing Donovan to go after the rec- ords. PETERS LOSES PROBATION JOO SAID TO HAVE BECOME TOO ACTIVE IN PURSUIT OF MIS- CHEVIOUS YOUNGSTERS. Earl Walton, a cattle man of Douglas county, who accompanied to Spokane the mother of Bascom Wallace, the slain rustler, has identified five of the recovered animals as belonging to him. He also was able to pick out others belonging to cattle men in his sec- tion. B. G. Peters, probation officer, in his activity in pursuing youthful of- fenders, is said to have run counter to the law, and as a consequence is doomed to lose his job. Peters is under appointment from the probation court, presided over by Judge J. D. Hinkle. It is said that in the discharge of his duties Peters made the arrest of a party outside the state without tak- ing the proper steps to make the action legal, and that this, in con- nection with complaint as to undue activity in hauling children before court, led to his undoing. Peters did not know of the change himself this morning, and was in the commissioners' room to make arrangements for a hearing tomorrow before the county board on the question of salary. Peters recently asked the county commis- sioners for an increase of from $110 to $125 per month, but the com- missioners adopted an order requir- ing him to show cause why his pay should not be cut to $100. The inquest over the body of Wallace was held at noon today Greenman, the escaped cattle rustler, has been wanted by of- ficers for three years. He is look- ed upon as a most dangerous man. HEARING DATE SET IN BIG LAND CASE June 25 Is the date set by Judge Hinlek when he will decide whether the temporary receiver- ship of Spokane Orchard Lands Co., asked for by Attorney W. ,7. Matthews, representing the North- western Engineering Co., one of tbe creditors of the company, shall be made permanent. The court has appointed Attorney Kenneth E. Hlgby temporary receiver. The proceedings were taken by local creditors to head off any ac- tion by the Lewiston National bank should they attempt to trace any of the $91,000 alleged to have been taken from the bank by C. W. Rob- nett, formerly president of the Spo- kane Orchard Lands Co., into the assets of that company. Robnett is now awaiting trial on a charge of embezzlement. Attorney Higby says the com- pany is perfectly solvent so far as the local creditors are concerned, and during his temporary control he will make arrangements for the taking care of the crops.

TRAGEDIES OF ARMY LIFE ATFORT WRIGHT Even in these piping times of peace if you want to be a soldier brave, don't get married nor have a sweetheart. Out at Fort Wright Corporal Heaton of X company is lying in the hospital dangerously Wounded by a3B caliber revolver bullet He fired the shot himself last night and staggered out into the mess- room among his comrades, bleeding and crazed. The cause of his act was the fact that when the Third regiment leave* for the Philippine-, in August ,lt will take Heaton away from the girl he married since he became a non-commissioned officer. She had been living down at Oakesdale while her husband was Stationed here. You can't wife very successfully in the army unless you have a commission, and then it is more like a ghastly joke on family life than the real thing. Of course, Heaton's wife can come and see him, but unless head- quarters are unusually kindly dis- posed toward him he will have to fall in when the regiment marches. CUPID STILLVOING BUSINESS IN SPOKANE Coeur d'Alene or Wallace, Idaho are not taking any marriage li- cense business away from this county, according to R. H. Butler, the county auditor, when seen thus morning. On comparing the number of li- censes issued in the month of June, 1908, with the same number of days of the present month, the record shows there were issued 93 for 1908, and up to and including Saturday 97 for the same month In 1909, or an Increase tot tjae same number of days of foiy,, jj There is little or no complaint made as to the conditions reduired under the new law, says Audil&r Butler.

There Is another soldier, Wesley Lalsure, also at Fort Wright, who is facing the prospect of leaving a bride here when the regiment goes across the Pacific, and bis story Is one of the kind that calls tor offi- cial clemency. It was understood by the county officers who were in- terested in the case that Lalsure would be discharged if he confirm- ed to the legal requirements in the case, but the post commander changed his mind after the young fellow had done the right thing. The fact that the girl will be left as helpless as she Was before; of Auditor Butler says that most physicians are charging a ' mini- mum fee of $1 per head for t?he ex- amination. { : ? course, makes no difference ?unless Fit happens to be an officer concern- ed.

DEVOLD CLAIMS THE REAL "FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH" IS AN OVEN ?REPORTER SPENDS A PLEASANT HOUR IN A ROASTING CONTRI- VANCE WITH A PAN OF DOUGH FOR A COMPANION. "It Is unwise for people to die," said Professor Andreas H. Devoid, of No. 225 West Forty-second street, New York, to an Evening World reporter. "It Is unwise for people to die when by the new hot- air bath youth may be retained and old age indefinitely postponed. This sounds like an exaggeration. But it is the truth." Professor Devoid claims that hot air will drive all germs, including the germ of old age, from the blood. He roasts people in an oven so hot that bread would burn like shavings. He has been baking some of New York's most famous people in this way. He has taken 15 years off the age of a dozen actresses. New York millionaires have been baked in a temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Enjoyed a Baking In his laboratory yesterday an Evening World reporter was sub- jected to a temperature of 500 de- grees Fahrenheit, and enjoyed it. When he came from the oven he had lost four pounds by evapora- tion. A loaf of bread placed in the same oven was baked to an ele- gant brown in the hour that tho reporter lay In the intense heat. The new fad Is one that startles people. It appears to be a very odd and mysterious thing. And so It Is. The oven is shaped some- thing like an elongated barrel on legs, Into which runs a stretcher on trucks. The oven Is heated by a powerful set of gas burners un- der It. The reporter was shown to a dressing room where a Turkish bathrobe awaited him. Over his feet he was told to draw a pair of long Nansen leggings, made of toweling. When he appeared the oven was growing hot. The stretcher was drawn out and the patient placed upon It In a manner suggesting an under taker's operating table. Then he was wrapped In toweling. The stretcher was run Into the oven and the door drawn close about his throat so that only his head was out In tho cool air. This was an advantage over a steaming, murky. Turkish bath. At first he could not feel the heat. Then came a most delightfully warm and cosy sensation. Your American loves beat. It was five minutes before I began to be warm enough to perspire. Dr. Devoid stood near, talking entertainigly. He is an interesting story teller, and It makes the baking of New Yorkers easier. "Rare or Well Done" "How will you be roasted, rare or well done?" asked the professor laughingly. "What is the highest record?" "I believe somebody took 450 de- grees here In New York the other day." "Well, give me 500." Again the scientist laughed and turned up the lights. I began to feel a delicious sense of restful- ness, drowsiness, and nearly fell off to sleep. The doctor awoke me packing my head In Ice. He put my head on an air pillow fill- ed with ice water, and fanned my face with an immense palm leaf It was delicious! I could feel that I was perspiring prodigiously. Ev- ery pore of my body became a brooklet. The professor remarked that this perspiration was carry- ing away the germs that had lurk- ed in by blood for months. And yet I did not feel the heat. I drew my arm from the oven to al- low the doctor to count my pulse beats. The arm had been swatchod In toweling, else It had been baked. Mrs. Devoid came In with a bak- ing tin half full of dough. "I'll show yon how hot It is in there," said Dr. Devoid, and he put the tin Into the oven beside me. The toweling was soaked with persplr ation, but the Intense heat dried it as the sweat worked through to the outer layer, and the moisture escaped to tbe room through a vent in the oven. It Grows Warm "How hot is it In the oven?" I asked. He removed the Retz thermo- meter and said: "Two hundred and forty nine Fahrenheit." I did not believe It till he held the instrument before my eyes. And all the time the oven was growing hotter. "I have treated many nthletes. fighters and strong men with this process. It Is the best way to re- duce weight. If the prlne fighters would only take more of this pro- cess and less of their racking exer- cise they would get on better. 1 can pull down weight at tbe rate of 10 pounds a week. We havo made slender nnd girlish forms for some of the fashionable middle- aged women of this city. "I think that this Is all the medicine that an ordinary man needs. 1 can prolong life for an indefinite period if one will only do just as I tell him. Look at the animals! In their wild state they do not die of disease. They die of old age. We are but animals of a higher nature. When an animal feels bad ho lies In the sun and sleeps and sweats. When he has a fever he creeps off In some cool, dark place and lies still. That Is the best medicine." I was now treated to fresh chunk! of ice on my head and given lee'water to drink. "Professor, what is the tempera- ture?" "Four hundred and fifty-seven!" The doctor told me a story about the life he led as a student In Paris. There was another good one about Bishop Lafavour of Can- ada, who used to love a Joke, and when next we looked at the ther- mometer it was 510! I was now beginning to feel the least bit tired, though the heat affected me no more thau that. The smell of the scorching bread reminded us of the loaf and It was pulled out with a wire. It had risen and had filled the pan, and was a deep brown alt over. "That Is the color you would be If it were not for the toweling, said I>r. Devoid. Gradually the heat began to decrease, though the perspiration increased. My pulse had been examined from time to time, and now ranged at 136. "It would be a pretty high lever," said the professor. The cooling off process was gradual. I was pulled out of the oven little by little, the hot outer wrap removed and the inner ones nllowed to stay. Then I was treated to an alcohol bath and rub- down, and when at last I stepped upon the scales I had lost four pounds and a half. "Four pounds and a half of water and germs have dried out of you," raid the scientist. "A lady that my wife treated the other day lost six pounds in an hour, and went away with her step stronger, her head higher and mjart stronger. "I think that within 10 years tho means of Increasing life from three-score years and ton to two or three hundred years will havo been discovered along these lines. Let's 'all hold on till then. "Tho great treat- ment Is that the heat Is Indirect In the face of some hot fire \u25a0 dozen firemen will take rcfugn behind a board fence which, they push ahead of them close up to the Arc, escaping the direct heat and getting only the Indirect. Tho principle Is the same." Professor Devoid and his assist- ant have been making experiments and claim that he is on the verge of more startling things. The Washington sanitarium, which is located at suite 306 Rookery building, has Just Install- ed a complete outfit of hot-air ap- paratus or bake oven and It has been a curiosity for many callers to see how a person can stand 500 degrees of heat without causing an 111 effect. We invite all who are interested in the new treatment to call at the office and we will glad- ly show and explain the working! of this wonderful invention.

Baked in Oven at *500 Degrees Fahrenheit
By I. Otis Swift
DR. DEVOLD CLAIMS THE
REAL "FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH"
IS AN OVEN ?REPORTER
SPENDS A PLEASANT HOUR
IN A ROASTING CONTRI-
VANCE WITH A PAN OF
DOUGH FOR A COMPANION.
"It Is unwise for people to die,"said Professor Andreas H. Devoid,of No. 225 West Forty-secondstreet, New York, to an EveningWorld reporter. "It Is unwise forpeople to die when by the new hot-air bath youth may be retainedand old age indefinitely postponed.This sounds like an exaggeration.But it is the truth."
Professor Devoid claims that hotair will drive all germs, includingthe germ of old age, from theblood. He roasts people in anoven so hot that bread would burnlike shavings.
He has been baking some ofNew York's most famous people inthis way.
He has taken 15 years off theage of a dozen actresses.
New York millionaires havebeen baked in a temperature of300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Enjoyed a BakingIn his laboratory yesterday an
Evening World reporter was sub-jected to a temperature of 500 de-grees Fahrenheit, and enjoyed it.
When he came from the oven hehad lost four pounds by evapora-tion.
A loaf of bread placed in thesame oven was baked to an ele-gant brown in the hour that thoreporter lay In the intense heat.
The new fad Is one that startlespeople. It appears to be a veryodd and mysterious thing. And soIt Is. The oven is shaped some-thing like an elongated barrel onlegs, Into which runs a stretcheron trucks. The oven Is heated bya powerful set of gas burners un-der It.
The reporter was shown to adressing room where a Turkishbathrobe awaited him. Over hisfeet he was told to draw a pairof long Nansen leggings, made oftoweling. When he appeared theoven was growing hot.
The stretcher was drawn outand the patient placed upon It In amanner suggesting an undertaker's operating table. Then hewas wrapped In toweling. Thestretcher was run Into the ovenand the door drawn close abouthis throat so that only his headwas out In tho cool air. This wasan advantage over a steaming,murky. Turkish bath. At first hecould not feel the heat.
Then came a most delightfullywarm and cosy sensation. YourAmerican loves beat. It was fiveminutes before I began to be warmenough to perspire. Dr. Devoidstood near, talking entertainigly.He is an interesting story teller,and It makes the baking of NewYorkers easier.
"Rare or Well Done""How will you be roasted, rare
or well done?" asked the professorlaughingly.
"What is the highest record?""I believe somebody took 450 de-
grees here In New York the otherday."
"Well, give me 500."Again the scientist laughed and
turned up the lights. I began tofeel a delicious sense of restful-ness, drowsiness, and nearly felloff to sleep. The doctor awokeme packing my head In Ice. Heput my head on an air pillow fill-ed with ice water, and fanned myface with an immense palm leafIt was delicious! I could feel thatI was perspiring prodigiously. Ev-ery pore of my body became abrooklet. The professor remarkedthat this perspiration was carry-ing away the germs that had lurk-ed in by blood for months. Andyet I did not feel the heat. Idrew my arm from the oven to al-low the doctor to count my pulsebeats.
The arm had been swatchod Intoweling, else It had been baked.Mrs. Devoid came In with a bak-ing tin half full of dough. "I'llshow yon how hot It is in there,"said Dr. Devoid, and he put the tinInto the oven beside me. Thetoweling was soaked with persplration, but the Intense heat driedit as the sweat worked through tothe outer layer, and the moistureescaped to tbe room through avent in the oven.
It Grows Warm"How hot is it In the oven?" I
asked.He removed the Retz thermo-
meter and said:"Two hundred and forty nine
Fahrenheit."I did not believe It till he held
the instrument before my eyes.And all the time the oven wasgrowing hotter.
"I have treated many nthletes.fighters and strong men with thisprocess. It Is the best way to re-duce weight. If the prlne fighterswould only take more of this pro-cess and less of their racking exer-cise they would get on better. 1can pull down weight at tbe rateof 10 pounds a week. We havomade slender nnd girlish forms forsome of the fashionable middle-aged women of this city.
"I think that this Is all themedicine that an ordinary manneeds. 1 can prolong life for anindefinite period if one will onlydo just as I tell him. Look at theanimals! In their wild state theydo not die of disease. They dieof old age. We are but animals ofa higher nature. When an animalfeels bad ho lies In the sun andsleeps and sweats. When he hasa fever he creeps off In some cool,dark place and lies still. That Isthe best medicine."
I was now treated to fresh
chunk! of ice on my head andgiven lee'water to drink.
"Professor, what is the tempera-ture?"
"Four hundred and fifty-seven!"The doctor told me a story about
the life he led as a student InParis. There was another goodone about Bishop Lafavour of Can-ada, who used to love a Joke, andwhen next we looked at the ther-mometer it was 510!
I was now beginning to feel theleast bit tired, though the heataffected me no more thau that.The smell of the scorching breadreminded us of the loaf and It waspulled out with a wire. It hadrisen and had filled the pan, andwas a deep brown alt over.
"That Is the color you would beIf it were not for the toweling,said I>r. Devoid. Gradually theheat began to decrease, thoughthe perspiration increased. Mypulse had been examined fromtime to time, and now ranged at136.
"It would be a pretty highlever," said the professor.
The cooling off process wasgradual. I was pulled out of theoven little by little, the hot outerwrap removed and the inner onesnllowed to stay. Then I wastreated to an alcohol bath and rub-down, and when at last I steppedupon the scales I had lost fourpounds and a half.
"Four pounds and a half ofwater and germs have dried outof you," raid the scientist. "A ladythat my wife treated the other daylost six pounds in an hour, andwent away with her step stronger,her head higher and mjartstronger.
"I think that within 10 years thomeans of Increasing life fromthree-score years and ton to twoor three hundred years will havobeen discovered along these lines.Let's 'all hold on till then.
"Tho great treat-ment Is that the heat Is IndirectIn the face of some hot fire \u25a0dozen firemen will take rcfugnbehind a board fence which, theypush ahead of them close up tothe Arc, escaping the direct heatand getting only the Indirect. Thoprinciple Is the same."
Professor Devoid and his assist-ant have been making experimentsand claim that he is on the vergeof more startling things.
The Washington sanitarium,which is located at suite 306Rookery building, has Just Install-ed a complete outfit of hot-air ap-paratus or bake oven and It hasbeen a curiosity for many callersto see how a person can stand 500degrees of heat without causing an111 effect. We invite all who areinterested in the new treatment tocall at the office and we will glad-ly show and explain the working!
of this wonderful invention.
