leaving Germany the American million

factories and prosperous farms" and
added that they were deeply impressed
by his wonderful efficiency as practical
business man and his abilities as a sci

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, July 27.-Beauty specialists
here are trying to kill the women's so"
called cart wheel hat, which mas reacheu
enormous tentlike dimensions. The spe-
cialists say the wearers are crushed by
these monstrosities, which are running
their figures.
To sit in a carriage with comfort
woman would be obliged to put the
feather of her hat out of one window, the
bunch of flowers out of the other, and the
bow of ribbon through the trap door in
the roof. AS she cannot do this, she sits
crouched up with her shoulders huddled,
her neck bent, and that expression of
patient resignation on her face which Is
a sure forerunner of wrinkles.
Double chins, bent backs, unsightly
necks and figures robbed of their natural
poise will be the result If this ridiculous
headgear is not modified The great ma
iority of the men of the present day,
however, want the women to keep them.

GOOD FOR AMERICANS
WHO GO TO VIENNA
A "Tip" Nuisance That Is About to
Be Done Away Wlth-Count
kieImannsegg Approves
Change
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
VIENNA, July 27.-Another time-hon-
ored Vienna institution is threatened
with extinction and very few people
would mourn its passing 1t is the cum
bersome "three-waiter" system which Is
particularly perpleXing and annoying to
foreign visitors. In every restaurant
from the most aristocratic down to the
cheapest "gasthaus," one cannot get the
simplest meal without the aid of three
waiters-the head waiter, who only
brings the bill; the real waiter, who
takes the order and brings the various
dishes, and the "piccolo." or boy, who
brings the wine and beer. The first of
these, who does the least, gets the larg-
est tip; the second gets a little smaller
one, while the "piccoo" in ordinary cases
is content with less than two cents.
The nuisance is not that the aggrc-
gate tips amount to so much as it is the
bother of having to deal with three per-
sons when one would be enough. But
nothing is ever done in Austria by one
person If it can be done by two or more.
What is now proposed is that each
waiter shall be given entire charge of a
smaller number of tables instead of all
| the walters looking after a whole room
indiscriminately. And also, as nothing
can be done in Austria without the gov
| ernment, the statthaltcr. or governor of
| Lower Austria, Count Kielmannsegg, has
been asked to approve the change. And,
as the count has always shown a lively
| interest in everything connected with
the development of tourist travel in Aus
| tria. it is probable that he will gladly
assist in the abolition of such antiquated
customs. Not long ago he expressed his
! ideas as to what constituted comfort in
hotels before a gathering of hotel keep
| ers, who were somewhat surprised at the
keenness of his criticisms.

Hindhede, Denmark's Latest Hero,
Has FireC All ScandinaVians
with a Desire for His
Simple Diet
Snecial Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark. July 81
Copenhagen and indeed all Denmark is
i'm a fever of excitement about the latest
national hero. DR.. Hindhede of Skander-
borg He published lately book deal
ing with diet reform, and already MS
adherents are numbered by tens OF
thousands in the capital and in every
village of the little kingdom. His repu-
taton is spreading to Norway, Sweden
and Germany, and especially in Germany
the number of "Hndhedianer" is rapidly
increasing.
In his book Hindhede answers the
questions. What is the best and cheapest
way of living? and. secondly, What are
the most nutritious foods which human
being can consume?
Practical experiments which have ex-
tended over years have forced him 10
the conclusion that the most nutritious
food is at the same time the cheapest.
He makes three tables. The first is a
luxurious one which II a man indulSes
in he will have too much, but which
costs only 10 cents a day. The second
is very substantial and works out cents
a day The third is an ordinary working
mans fare at cents a day, or frac-
tion more.
The theory that albumen is needed in
food in large quantities Hindhede knocks
on the head The healthiest food, he
says, is bread with a little butter or
lard This might be supplemented by
potatoes, fruit and some cheese, with
various kinds of cereals and vegetables.
But under no circumstances meat, alco-
hol coffee, tea or "other poisons." On
that diet Hindhede and his family have
lived for a long time and have been
before.
Living on cents a day Hindhede rides
a bicycle thirty-three miles. His food
is black rye bread, a little cheese and
now and then an apple.
The doctors book gives many authen-
tic cases of men engaged in the most
onerous mental and bodily work who
eat a little bread, palmin, margarine,
milk. potatoes and beans, and enjoy life
as they never enjoyed it when they
were indulging in poison" His system
has been introduced into the army on
trial.
He contends that the new food doc
trine should be taught in the schools,
as it IS a pitiable thing to have to learn
how to live when one is too old to
enjoy life.
Accompanying the doctors book are
several hundred recipes, and as they are
admirable every housewife in Denmark
is buying a book.
All over Copenhagen the visitor will
see in staring letters: lodgings and
pension a la Hindhede," where the cost
of the food is only SO a month. Students
of both sexes, poor and enthusiastic food
reformers, are fiocking to these estab-
lishments.
The doctors of Denmark are silent,
but it is believed that they approve a
reform in land where nearly as many
people eat themselves into their graves
as die from drink. Hindhede's friends
are proposing to erect a statue of him
in one of the principal city squares.

Former Minneapolis Chorus Girl Wins

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, July 27.-The countess Of
Rosslyn, formerly Anna Robinson of Min
neapolis, was granted divorce today at
Edinburg from the earl of Rosslyn. The
suit was filed July 8 and the granting Of
the decree in eleven days almost creates a
British divorce record.
This is the earl's second experience in
the divorce courts. In 1902 he obtained a
decree on the ground of desertion from
Violet Viner, whom he welded in 1890 A
son by the latter union bears the title of
Lord LoughborouCh.
Lord Rosslyn (James Francis Harry st.
Clair Erskine) has had a picturesque ca
reer as soldier, journalist, actor, gambler
and adventurer Formerly he was a lieu
tenant in the Royal Horse guards He
served with Thornycroft's horse in the
Boer war, was made prisoner few times
and then acted as correspondent.
Also Known as Actor
Rosslyn also has figured on the stage as
"James Erskine" His first appearance
behind the footlights was in Australia and
he is said to have worn skirts on the occa-
sion, doing a fancy dance. Subsequently
he appeared in regular drama, but failed
to make hit.

her.
Won by Chorus Girl
1t was after Rosslyn had quarreled with
his British fiancee, pretty Beatrice Irwin,
that he became acquainted with Anna
Robinson, daughter of George Robinson
of Minneapolis. Twelve years ago, with
her sister Marguerite, she went to New
York and at once got position as chorus
girl. Within two months she was a SOU
brette and she made her regular stage
debut in 1.-The Governor of Kentucky"
She had many admirers, and when subse
quently she went abroad she also attracted
much attention in Paris and is said to
have become a favorite of hing Leopold
of Belgium whose guest she was on
famous yachting cruise. Miss Robinson
found no difficulty in winning the affec- I
tions of Lord Rossyn. whose family and
relatives bitterly opposed the union but
unavailingly and now the actor-peer is at
liberty to SEX another mate.
Miss Robinson secured her divorce on
grounds of desertion, misconduct and cru
city. There was no defense. The woman
in the case is said to be well known in
London and her husband is in the United
States navy.
