TAKES CURE AT MARIENBAD
AND WALKS VIGOROUSLY
DANDIES COPY HIS CLOTHING
Immediately on Kings Arrival Each
Year He Borrows Weighing
Machine of Charming
Young Woman

Special Gable to The Herald.
MARIENBAD, Sept. 2.-King Ed
ward arrives at Marienbad on the
northwestern frontier of Austria in Au-
gust each year to undergo his annual
anti-fat cure. Marienbad is the last
refuge of thousands of persons all over
the world who cannot keep the rotund-
ity of their looks within reasonable
limits by other means.
King Edward is now regular visitor
at Marienbad, for in the course of the
year his corpulence becomes excessive.
He always contrives to arrive in Mar
ienbad late in the afternoon. Inn
machine is fetched from shop kept
by a charming young woman. Fraulein
Senfft.
There are plenty of other Weighing
machines in Marienbad but the king
always grants Miss Senfft the privilege
Of lending him her apparatus. The
king strips and places himself on the
machine in order that his medical at
tendant may ascertain his exact weight
at the beginning of the cure. This
weight, it should be added, exceeds 200
pounds.
Drinks the kreuzbrunnen Water
The cure itself begins on the follow
ing day and is continued for three
weeks. The king rises at a. m. and a
glass of water taken from the famous
Kreuzbrunnen we'll is brought to him
by his valet while he is dressing. The
king then proceeds to the public prom
enade and drinks a second glass of
Kreuzbrunnen water between $3.50
and z.
The promenade is crowded with visit
ors of all countries, who gather round
the monarch and stare at him with per-
sistency. The rules of the cure require
every patient to walk hard for two
hours before breakfast, so the king
PAGES up and down the promenade until
his set time has elapsed. After con-
suming the plainest Of breakfasts he is
obliged to walk hard all the morning,
ascending as many hills as possible.
Afternoon and evening are also devoted
to systematic exercises and plain diet
is strictly enforced from beginning to
end of the cure.
One curious feature of King Edwards g
annual visit to Marienbad is the in
fluence which it exercises on the fash
ions Of Europe. All the young dandies
of Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Budapest
swarm to Marienbad in order to ascer-
tain what the ruler wears. Large num-
bers of tailors and outfitters also jour-
ney to Marienbad to get tips for the
coming winter season.
Dandes Get Kings Fashions
On the second day of the kings visit
all the young dandies collected at Mar
ienbad appear on the promenade in
exactly the same costume as he HIM
self wears, with shirts, ties and socks
of exactly Identical color. The fashion
set oy King Edward at Marienbad thus
rapidly spreads throughout Europe.
At Marienbad there are also to be
found those members of English So
ciety who are not received at court in
England, but who hope to attract the
notice of the king amid the less formal
surroundings of the Austrian watering
place. They go to- Marienbad as a
social speculation and some of them
contriye to get into the royal circle.

collar of embroidered velvet and quaint
porcelain buttons.

sTITH G. sHURrLEFF COMPANY

There exists in every commercial center
today a branch of commercialism very
little known and appreciated by the gen
eral public but which is, of vast import
ance to the life Of trade. We refer to
men known as manufacturers' agents,
who sell to the jobbers direct from the
factories. A leader engaged in this line of
business here is the firm of Stith & Shurt-
left Co., who established themselves here
about two years ago at 100 Market street
They are manufacturers agents for gen
eral merchandise, representing all the
leading manufacturers of the Atlantic and
northern states; making a specially of
groceries and canned goods. and selling
throughout Southern California. The
secret of their great success is the fact
that they absolutely refuse to handle the
goods of any concern that do not measure
up to the samples sent out. In this way
they have gained the confidence of the
trade The firm is composed of Messrs. L.
w. Stith and Florel Shurtleff, both of
whom are up-to-date. and progressive
business men. Mr. stith was formerly in
many friends behind him.
