Aware of I—th Position Though His Memory Has Gone. SPECIAL CABLE TO THE CALL. BERLIN, June 16.—It is only once a year that the public hears anything of the insane King of Bavaria, and that is when his loyal subjects celebrate his birthday, as occurred this week. “If vour Majesty will graciously permit.” Herr von Redwitz, the guardian of the King, must so address him, for this ourt etiquette requires. The ‘majesty” bestowed on the unfortunate man is indeed a travesty, although, strange to say, while his memory is gone, he is still conscious of his high R position. A question which some years eports at Monarce S!ago he addressed to a servant proves his. Believing that he spoke to one his ministers the King said “Are the people satisfied? ow tell me what time will the people sk to be entirely happy?” When the servant answered, “I do not know, your Majesty,” the King looked at him as graciously as if he had received a proper answer. His health not good, and his passing away can only be a question of time. Everything has, of course, been done to make the life of the King comfort- able.

On returning to England Miles, after curing himself of indigestion, began giving advice to others on how they should eat and what they should do in cases of disease arising from digestive disorders. “It may sound more or less incredi- | ble,” said Miles, speaking of some of his cures, “but I have positively treated Bright's disease—in its early | stages—quite successfully, without any | other remedy but diet. Several persons | who came to me with this disease were | cured, while the lives of others have beén undoubtedly prolonged. Before very long I found that I had nearly a thousand food pupils, who put them- selves under my care. I had thorough- ly worked out by this time my theories of food, and I was able to accomplish some remarkable results on persons who had been practically abandoned by regular medical men. “The proteid substance which I have discovered—or rather, to be more ac- curate—extracted from substances containing large amounts of proteid— enables one to do an immense amount of work without feeling the least fatigue. For instance, I take a cup of this substance on awakening in the morning. 1 then lie in bed and write sometimes two or three newspaper or magazine articles. Facility of compo- sition seems to be so much stimulated that I can often turn out two news- paper articles in an hour's time; and I never feel any brain fag after these efforts. I can write steadily three thou- sand words an hour and the writing will be legible and accurately worded. I attribute nearly all my success to the systematic use of the food substances 1 have discovered. “Of course, I never eat meat, but I have found certain substances, such I have mentioned, to contain more nourishment than meat. It would be illogical, therefore, to stick to thi old diet after finding something better. Mr. Miles was asked to give som idea of the amount of work he had been able to accomplish through hi food products. ““Well last year I coached no less than 200 students for Cambridge University, ing gesture of his stick, indicating the half-demolished structure. “They have | fallen from the faith, and they have | been punished.

LONDON, June 16.—Henry Labou- chere’s suggestion that all anarchists be locked up finds considerable sup- port here. He argues that the reasons which compel the secret police to keep (all anarchists under constant surveil- !Iance equally warrant their arrest and | restraint as criminal lunatics. Sir Howard Vincent, M. P., formerly chief of Scotland Yard, contends that each country should keep its own an- ‘archists. He says deporting them is a |criminal error and a policy which should be correeted by other countries refusing to receive them. Sir Howard notes that both Ttaly and Spain drive 'but instead a concoction which ! - TENNIS CHAMPION THRIVES ON A REMARKABLE DIET = which I did not find the least arduous, I kept up regular instruction to 1500 food pupils who came to me for advice, to say nothing of writing one or two books and quite a large number of magazine and newspaper articles. This was the brain-work part. Besides this I kept up my tennis practice and took other forms of regular evercise. My food “enabled” me-to remain ‘fit’ for all these tasks, and never once did I feel worn out or exhausted. “That is saving a good deal for a food, in my judgment,” he added. The record of Eustace Miles up to this time has been one of brilliant success in various fields of endeavor. He won early honors as a classical scholar at Cambridge; then became a master at the famous Rugby School, and followed this up with being lecturer and coach at Cambridge, undertaking some of the most difficult branches. Owing to his accomplishments as a scholar and ath- lete at the university he was appointed a member of the executive council of the National League of Physical Edu- cation and Improvement, and edited the “Physical Educator” magazine. In 1898 he won the English amateur tennis championship and also the cham- pionship in racquets in 1902. Miles is the holder of the Gold Prize amateur championship for tennis in America, which he won in 1900. His recent vic- tories make him the amateur tennis champion of the world. Recently Miles started in London a large restaurant for the express pur pose of supplying the “Eustace Miles" proteid lunghes” to nerghboring busi- ness offices. These lunches are war- ranted to do away With fatigue and to enable business men to deuble their capacity for toil. The expert, moreover, has meals for sedentary folk, meals for business men, meals for the strenuous and meals for the hurried. He can put up a substan- tial meal that can be gulped down in three segonds and is warranted to be free from injurious effect. To business men in a hurry this should be a veri- table godsend. You can obtain, for in- stance, all the essential qualities of a full course dinner, ranging from fish to nuts, and yet dispose of it while running to catch a train. With even more leisure you can ob- the professed beef-eater or the vege- tarfan. And in this Ites, more or less, the secret of the Miles diet—the com- bination of the qualities of meat with the advantages of vegetables. Mrs. Eustace Miles married the ama- teur tenmis champlon and food expert only a short time ago. The circum- | stances were romantic, for their first meeting was brought about by an arti- cle by Miles which Ris future wife then Miss Hallie Killick, happened to work and it indpired Miss Killick, who also possessed literary gifts, to write a little book which she called “Life’s Orehestra.” Published, it made an uncommon hit, especially when it became known that the Queen herself had praised it. and so it is not surprising that its author- ess promptly wrote another book re- garding which she wrote to Eustace Miles. She told him how her first vol- ume came to be written, and asked his advice about publishing the second, with the result that the athlete came to see her—and that their engagement followed. Needless to say, Mrs. Miles is a firm bellever in her husband's dietetic doctrines, as, in the face of his accomplishments, she has every reason to be. SEIRE NS S Germans right Higher Beer. BERLIN, June 16.—Great excitement has been caused by the announcement that the brewers of Germany h de- cided to increase the price of beer. The brewers claim that they are forced to this action on account of increased taxation, which on the year's brew amounts to five millions of marks. The increase in price is 60 cents per hecto- litre. g An attempt was made this week at Bonn and Heidelberg to increase the re- tail price, but the students of both uni- versities held mass meetings and de- cided to boycott the beer saloons unless the old prices were adhered to.
