PROFESSOR WILL USE KNIFE
TO MAKE AMERICANS YOUNGER
Eugene Steinaeh Coming to Reopen
Fountain of Youth.
Vienna. July 10. —Prof. Eugene
Steinaeh is soon sailing for New York
to "regenerate aged America." Prof.
Steinaeh is the surgeon of whom en
thusiastic medical disciples say he can.
with a painless li’ttle incision with a
knife, reopen the fountain of youth in
aged men and revise the old wrecks who
have lived too rapidly, permitting them
to once more not only dream, but real
ize their happier hours.
Professor Steinaeh is accepting the in
vitation of a number of prominent
American physicians to come to the
United States and give demonstrations
of his painless and bloodless method of
restoring youth and giving back to the
aged the joy of living.
He may be accompanied to America
by Dr. Robert Lychtenstein, a Vienna
surgeon, his chief assistant, who has
promised ail the operations here for
Steinaeh. the latter not being a sur
geon.
Steinaeh has no hospital or clinics,
patients, and visitors unless they are
newspaper men. They will find him in
his private house on the edge of famous
Prater park. Interviewers are not re
ceived. and if you so unfortunate as
to be a newspaper man. only the recom
mendation of some one he knows will
get you to him. 4
This rejuvenator of the aged is an el
derly man himself with thick white hair
combed straight back, and a flowing
beard. He is very active and registers
great irritation if- newspapers are men
tioned.
He fulminated against the “sensational
press of the world for having fun with
the subject of rejuvenation of old men
who have had their day, and for the re
fusal of treating serious the efforts of
medical scientsis to restors the joy of
life to the aged,”
Steinaeh lias little sense of humor iu
this respect. He cannot understand
the frivolity of newspapers on so serious
and important matter to every man. He
is very emphatic that it is not a male
beauty treatment. But he does claim
that it puts new fire into old veins and
rouses the heart to new hopes.
Out of an old man “capable of regen
eration'* Steinaeh says that he can
make a fresh, vigorous old man full of
life and energy. Out of a prematurely
aged, younger man his operation makes
a regenerated young man.
Sixty is the normal limit age at
which the operation is effective but a
number of 70 years have been operated
upon with amazing success,

FOR TW O WIVES TO A MAN
But Plan Offered Parliament of Czecho
slovakia Starts Riot.
Prague Dispatch.
Compulsory bigamy, proposed as a
means of making up the losses in popu
lation caused by the war. Baused a riot
when it was debated in the Szeelio-Slo
vakia parliament.
Mile. Betta Kerpiskova, a woman depu
ty. introduced a bill to compel men to
take two wives, whatever their personal
inclinations might be. Heavy penalties
were suggested for men who shirked
their duty.
In presenting the bill, she explained
that the war had weakened the Czecho
slovakia nation and that great gaps in
the population were waiting to be fill
ed.
“How are we to do this?” she asked.
“It is quite simple. "Distribute the sur
plus women in the proportion of two to
every man and the problem is solved.”
Great enthusiasm in the chamber
• greeted Mile. Kerpiskova’s remedy. Men
deputies stood on their chairs and cheer
ed long and vigorously, but other quar
ters were to be heard from.
Hardly had the men's cheers subsided
than there came loud and angry pro
tests from the gallery, where the wives of
the deputies were sitting.
These married women shouted indig
nant denials that the nation would bene
fit by the granting of two women to ev
ery man, and demanded that the presi
dent of the chamber call Mile. Kerpiskova
to order.
\\ hat had been merely confusion then
became riotous pandemonium.
Mile. Kerpiskova. shouting- above the
tumult, again urged support for her
bill
* -“Every moment lost is a crime against)
humunny,’ sue cried.
Several orators of both sexes heatedly
aired their views on the subject of trying
to support two wives. The speaker sum
med up what appeared to be the opinion
of the majority when he deprecated
Czechb-Slovakio taking a step that would
expose her to the ridicule of the world.
“Cowards! Retrogrades!” shouted
Mile. Kerpiskova iu a last despairing
gesture.
The President suspended the sitting.
Czecho-Slovakia, it will be recalled, is
tiie post-war political name for Bohemia.
New Orleans Cotton Review.
New Orleans, .July 15.—Up to the
middle of last week the price of cotton
was inclined to sag but in the last half
of the week fairly strong upturns oc
curred. highest prices coming on the
closing session. Here the new crop po
sitions were 82 to 92 points higher
than the close of the preceding week :
at the lowest the list was 30 to 52
points lower than the close if the pre
ceding week. Closing prices were 32
points down to 48 points up, net July
showing a net. loss at 20.05 cents a
pound while the new crops were at. net’
gains. O-tober closing at 23.38. In the
spot department middling closed net un
changed at 2t.G3 cents a pounds', which
Price compared with 22.50 on the dose
of this week last year. Favorable
opinion of weather conditions over the
belt, more or less uneasiness over polit
ical conditions abroad and the continued
quiet of trade were the main selling
reasons, but after the middle of the
week the droughts and high tcmi>eratures
in the western section of the belt, com
menced to dominate the market. Many
private reports claimed that over large
areas of Texas crop was deteriorating—
because of lack of moisture, while many
traders considered maximum day temper
atures of around 100 against the best,
progress of the crop. Complaints of
