AVOID ALL FANCY FOODS;
STICK TO PLAIN EATING

Special CaDle 10 liS IiSi "io'
LONDON. June 15.-"The man who
enjoys plain food is miles ahead.
physically and physiologically speak
ing. of the man who would leave the
meal untouched If it were, not that
every item of it was calculated to
tickle the palate F"
This is the. conclusion Of writer
in the Lancet, a medical journal of
first rank, in an article on the price
we pay for flavor. 1.-THE human race
is wickedly indulgent, caring more
for the palatable than the nutritious
quality of food" he says.
Men will pay 81 for pint of turtle
SOUP which, from a strictly nutritive
point of view, is not worth twen-
tieth part of that sum. oysters are
an extravagant form of food, since
fourteen of them do not contain as
much nourishment as single egg.
while it would require the ingestion
of no less than two hundred good oys-
ters before the protein equivalent of a
pound of beef was reached.
"There are, however, clearly in
stances in which in no sense can the
nutritive equivalent of food and bev-
erages be summed up in so much
money. How often is it found, for ex-
ample. that the invalid may be tempt
ed to take a few oysters in prefer
ence to a small beef fillet or some
turtle soup when calves head, the
basis of mock turtle, would scarcely
appeal to him, even although it may
be more than equal in nutritive value
to the only reptile used to any extent
as food in this country"

Col. Astor is on his wav r. New

alone here. Only few visitors are
admitted to the sick room. One of
tnese is the duchess of Marlboroueh
who is at Mrs. Astor's side aln1ost
constantly. She appears each aav
roses. 'Ae' VI
This is the very height of the Lon
don season, and Mrs. Astor is we'll
nigh disconsolate because of he,, W. ,,
forced absence from the gaveties in
served. iiio'' W
UP to the time of her illness she
was subjected to tremendous sooi,I
strain. Her popularity is greater than
ever. since the beginning of the sea-
son she has gone the rounds of tba
smartest functions, day and night.
She was seized with a chill at the
royal party given by the Cavend;sb1
Bentincks for King Edward last
week. The wintry summer has been
especially trying to those women who
wear particularly decollete evening
gowns. Two physicians were suns
moned for Mrs. Astor, and she was
oroered TO her hotel and forbidden to
leave her bed
She was therefore unable to attend
tne Duchess OF Devonshires royal
dinner and ball on derby night. She
had ordered special gown from
Worth for this occasion.
Her friends say she has a nositive
genius for dress. Some new idea in
the costume, in the manner of dress-
ing her hair, or in jewelry, is always
observed.
She was absent, of course. from
Thursdays court function, where She
had planned to appear in a maryel-
Gus creation of gold d-embroidered
satin with cloth -of-gold train which
deepened from the waist line. The
gown is cut with very low " at the
back, like all of her evening cos
tunes. The corsage is sewn with un.
mounted stones, especially backed
with gold eyes, which insure the safety
of the gems.
The embroidery has as a feature
Jeweled shoulder straps to keep the
dress in position. From the bebe
sleeves fall fringe made for the oc-
casion of real pearls with here and
there a ruby or an emerald.

THEY LOSE JEWELS
FOR A LIVELIHOOD

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, June 15.-Those gentle
men who have fallen into tie unfor-
tunate habit of losing bank notes and
jewelry at hotels, and "dunning" the
proprietors for compensation, are like
ly to meet with very decided check.
The newly-formed National Hotel
Keepers association intends to put
stop to their eccentric behavior.
Those also who have made it a sort
of second nature" to leave without
paying their bills are also to receive
attention from this combination. A
"black list" distributed throughout
hotels in the United Kingdom, will be
quite as interesting as the publicants'
catalogue of habitual drunkards.
At the inaugural meeting of the as
ISOLATION the chairman, Dudley James
of Morley's hotel, pointedly alluded to
the lost jewel pests. 1--WE should be
ready to assist with advice and to pro-
tect hotel proprietors and inn keepers
from unjust actions for compensation,
he said, and added, especially those
arising from that class of people who
seem to stay in hotels to lose valuable
jewelry."
81 had in mind the case of gen
tleman who, while staying at a Lon
don hotel, insisted that banknotes had
been extracted from his bag in his
bedroom" said Mr.. James 1T was
afterward found that there never had
been any notes in the bag"
Several hotel proprietors in London
who were interviewed on the subject
yesterday were fully in agreement
with the aim of the new association.
Many had emselves been victimized.
1--WE had a notice in every room dis
claiming responsibility" said the man
ager of leading West End hotel. But
it is we'll known that any similar es-
tablishment yould rather suffer a loss
of hundred pounds or so than let II
be generally known that thert hau
occurred on the premises.
''Take a case that occurred recentiy

HENLEY MAY BAR
AMERICAN ATHLETES
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, June 15.-The decision of
the Henley stewards that the American
sculler Titus should be disqualified
from competing for the diamond sculls
at Henley this year is drawing atten-
tion to very vexed question as to
whether foreigners be allowed to COM
pete at all.
Some years ago a young American
sculler, Ten Eyck, son of a professional
rover, come over here to compete for
the diamonds, and carried foff the
trophy, out his victory was probably
the most unpopular here on record. The
following year there was no question as
to whether he should BE admitted or
not, for he was then an avowed pro-
fessional
Since then the Henley stewards have
attempted as far as possible to dis
countenance foreign competitors, not
indeed on the ground that they will
prevent legitimate competition. they
aver but because they feel that the
conditions of racing at Henley are al
together unsuitable for serious inter
national contests.

SENATOR SOUGHT BEAUTY
BUT FOUND GREEN HAIR
speclal cable to The Herald.

PARIS, June 15.--Very amusing is the
story related about senator, who, in
the effort to beautify himself. met with
the same sorry experience as nearly
drove Tlttlebat Titmouse to destruction.
And his locks were grown prematurely
white, the worthy legislator had re-
course to a hair dye, with the result
that he presented himself one fine day
at the upper house with profusion of
yellow curls. Eagerly questioned by
his colleagues, he laid the blame on his
barber, saying that he must leave him
for another one. But he Jared even
worse, as some time afterwards he re-
turned to the senate with bright green
hair. Such, at least, is the funny
story, it being added that ever after
ward when the word Chemistry" was
uttered amid lobby gossip he invariably
exclaimed with Bitterness that it was
an invention OF the evil one.

CROWNED HEADS EXHIBIT
AT PARIS FLOWER SHOW

PARIS, June 1.-THE flower show on
the Cours des la Refine has been great
success, principally because several
sovereigns have contributed to it. The
king of the Belgians sent a magnifi-
cent collection of flowers from his cele-
brated gardens at Laeken The new
shah of Persia caused many of the
florists OF his kingdom to send to Paris
wonderful exhibits of roses from Te-
heran and its vicinity. Queen Wilhel-
nina of Holland contributed plants
from her hot houses. The German em-
peror provided remarkable display
that excited the admiration of every
visitor.

LONDON, June 15.-The Duke of
Nrarcbester' who now lives in London,
is coming here to work in the railroad
abons controlled by his father-in-law,
III, GENE Zimmerman of Cincinnati.
# is not because his grace needs the
money that he will resort to this man
nal labor, but because he is anxious
to get a thorough knowledge OF the
railroad business
Some say that the duke contemplates
stepping into his father-in-law's shoes

yond.
That the duke will become one of the
1aborers in the railroad shops was an
nounced by Eugene Zimmerman, his

some extent is matter Of usage, or
subject to manipulation by those who
command influence. The laws against
methods in restraint of trade have been
on the statute books long time. Mer-
gers and rebates have been forbidden
by law for years, but many acts have
been committed at variance with 1T.
Lack of knowledge can not be pleaded,
but there was prevailing belief that
the enactments would not or could not
be enforced, and the glamour of big OPP
erations induced carelessness. New
schemes in millions and billions sprang
up freely, and visions of vast wealth
resulted in a careless, if not reckless,
spirit.
A day of accounting has arrived.
Those who have genuinely observed the
laws are on solid ground, while those
who have tempered with them are call
ed upon to square their conduct if they
can. Many new laws were passed at the
recent sessions of Congress and the
state legislatures. What individuals
may think of them gives no prescription
for their violation, and those who ig-
more them in letter or spirit will find no
sympathy when summoned to defend
themselves in the courts. The trust
laws, rate laws, pure-food law, and all
the rest of the statutes must be re-
spected, or worse will come to any who
fancy that they mean less than they
say, or that there are subterfuges by
which they can be nullified.

LsFoiieffe was Righf.

Milwaukee Free Press
A few years ago, when Gov. LaFol-
lette in his speeches about the state
was urging the necessity for public su-
pervision of freight rates, he presented
mass of comparative figures which, if
correct, conclusively showed that the
railroads operating in Wisconsin were
charging much higher rates than they
were charging in Iowa and Illinois for
similar service. The railroad companies
by their attorneys and in their news
papers denied that there was discrlm-
ination against Wisconsin. A mass of
figures was compiled and printed in a
"Red Book" widely distributed, pur-
porting to give the Truth About Wis
consin Freight Rates, and designed to
convince the people of Wisconsin that
Mr.. LaFollette's figures were garbled
and untrue.
The state railroad commission has
now concluded thorough investigation
of the live stock rates in the state and
reaches the conclusion that the Wiscon-
sin rates are not only higher than those
of Iowa and Illinois, but that they are
excessive, after giving the railway
claims the benefit of every doubt The
commission says: at is our opinion that
the rates charged by the respondent
railroad companies for the transporta
ton of horses and mules, cattle and
calves, hogs and sheep, between Mil
waukee and other stations on their lines
in this state, when these classes of traf-
tic are taken as whole, are unreason-
ably high and they should be readjusted
in accordance with the order in this
case.
This report is signed by John Barnes,
who has just retired as chairman of the
commission. and to whose integrity and
ability the press of the state has paid
high tribute. 1t fully sustains the facts
and figures presented to the people of
the state by Mr. LaFollette.

button before the middle of September,
according tc information given out by
the bureau of labor and statistics. The
book is compiled in this department and
the commissioner has been compelled to
have the material which formerly went
into the publication. greatly cut down
to get it into one volume. The book two
years ago contained ll66 pages, and an
attempt is being made this year to keep
it within 1900 pages. The large increase
in election statistics and the census fig
ures gathered by the state department
in 1905 are the main things that cause
the voluminousness of the record.
