RESORT OF XING EDWARD
Conservation of the Bohemian Forests?-Beady
Acquiescence by the
Farmers in the Regulations.
BT WILLIAM E. CURTIS.
Written for The Star and the Chicago RecordHerald.
While many people go to Carlsbad to
get thin, more go to Marienbad for that
purpose, and there melt off their surplus
tissue by energetic application to the
rules laid down by specialists.
Marienbad is about forty miles from
Carlsbad, on the other side of a ridge,
and may be reached by railway train or
by a carriage road, which is about as
perfect as a carriage road can be. Those
who have automobiles are running over
to Marienbad every few days, and it is
a delightful excursion, and one usually
has fat friends at the latter place. The
road winds through the canyon In which
Carlsbad nestles, and along the banks of
the Tepl river, which grows in size and
spirit as you pass along, and you finally
come out into a lovely valley, every Inch
of which is utilized and cultivated with
the greatest care.
One can see illustrated along that road
the perfect forestry systems of Bohemia,
under which not a shrub is wasted and
no man is allowed to cut down a tree
without the permission of the authorities.
Forest owners submit to that arbitrary
regulation without a remonstrance, for
the experience of centuries has demonstrated
that it is a good thing for the
owner of the timber as well as the public
at large to have some one say which
trees shall be cut and when it is lawful
to cut them.
Trees are planted like corn and potatoes,
and they are harvested when they
are ripe, although it takes them much
longer to grow. But the value is commensurate
with the length of time required
to reach maturity, and while the
man who plants does not always live long
enough to derive the benefit, every year's
growth adds to the value of the timber.
A grove is as good an Investment as a
savings bank. It usually pays much
larger interest, compound interest, and is
therefore encouraged. Farms seldom
change hands in this part of the world;
they are passed down from generation to
generation through the oldest son, and
when a farmer plants a grove of trees
he is practically taking out a- life Insurance
policy in favor of his successor, only
he is not required to pay any premiums,
for a forest will take care of itself better
than any other kind of a crop, and the
value of such an Insurance policy increases
year by year without any further
investment or expenditure.
Conservation of Forests.
The average forest will mature in fifty
years, which, to the impatient American
disposition, seems a long time, but it
Is not so considered over there. A,
forest of quick-growing trees will mature
within twenty or thirty years, perhaps
within the life of the man who
planted them, but the timber is not so
valuable as that of slower grrowth. The
be6t authorities agree that the longer
it takes for a piece of timber to mature
the more money it is worth.
Furthermore, timber will grow where
grain and vegetables will not, both where
the soil is too dry or stony or where
it is too wet and swampy?the farmer
only hae to select the proper sort of
trees Hundreds of thousands of acres
of land in Bohemia are producing valuable
timber today which would lie entirely
idle and be wasted by the farmers
of the United States. For example, if
the owner of one of the "abandoned"
farms in New England or New York
were to plow up the ground and plant
timber, and go away and leave It for
twenty or thirty years. It would be as
good as a life insurance policy for his
children, and even better, because there
would be no premium to pay, except for
taxes.
The American farmer may be a very
intelligent, enterprising and progressive
person, but he can learn a lot of things
from the European farmer which have
been developed by the experience of ages.
Culling the Trees.
Every year and sometimes twice a
year the official ofrest inspector, if called
for, will go through a farmer's timoer
patch and select for him without charge
those trees which may be or should be
cut down?those which have reached maturity
and will not improve, or for other
reasons will deteriorate if they are left
standing. This is usually done twice a
year, in the winter and the fall, after
the harvest is over. If a farmer wants
lumber for any purpose he asks the official
Inspector to pick him out a tree,
and after It is felled and cut he hauls
the logs to the nearest sawmill to have
them sliced up in such shape as he desires.
The inspector will aiso advise him
which trees to cut for fuel and that
gives the farmer and his boys something
to do In the w'nter.
The large estates have their own foresters.
It Is a profession in that part of the
world, and they are kept busy thinning
out and replanting, for wherever a tree
is cut down a sapling is get out in its
pia *.
Tho practical operatic of this system
and its great advantages can bo seen in
every direction in the neighborhood of
Carlsbad and especially by a motor trip
to Martenbad, besides the profit and pleasure
that will be derived from the Journey.
A public automob le, like the "rubberneck
cars" which are now in use In every
important city in Europe, as well as the
United States, for the entertainment of
tourists, runs back and forth between the
two resorts every day. Tho ride costs a.
dollar.
Marlcnbad is not so large a place as
Carlsbad, having only about one third as
much population and about one-third as
many v.sltors, perhaps 25,<W0 In all. Its
situation and environment are not so
beautiful, but the architecture and the
parks, the hotels and restaurants are
. much more imposing and luxurious, and

the encircling lillls are dotted with
splendid villas where bankers and merchants
and manufacturers and members
of the nobility of Europe spend their summers
and reduce their dimensions. That
is the chief object of going to Marienbad.
Resort of Xing Edward.
The late King Edward VII of England
did more than any one else to advertise
Marienbad, for he was a high liver and
like his esteemed mother had a tendency
to weight. He went there every season
for three or four weeks, and always occupied
the same room at one of the principal
hotels, where a balcony, buiit especially
for him. Is the first thing pointed out to
new arrivals. You can see his rooms if
you wish to. They are seldom occupied,
because the proprietor of the hotel considers
them sacred. None but guests of
the loftiest rank and reputation are allowed
to sleeD In the king's bed, or sit in
the king's chair, or cat in the king's
private dning room. The man who used
to maseage his sacred person If one oi
the notabilities of Marienbad; the apparatus
which he used at the gymnasiums is
an object of veneration, and his golt
sticks are hung up in a conspicuous place
In the clubhouse. Many people who
went to Marienbad because they could
have an opportunity to bask in the sunshine
of the royal presence go elsewhere
now, which is a serious financial loss tc
the community. Multitudes of sycophants
used to follow the king from London tc
Marienbad and then to Homburg, but 1
have never been able to find out whal
good it did them.
An Expensive Place.
A visitor to Marienbad would naturally
expect to meet crowds of fat people on
the streets, but there do not seem to be
as many there as at Carlabau. The averago
individual appears to be ot normal
weight and girth. The visitors are better
dressed as a rule, and show greater evidences
of prosperity than the habLues of
Carlsbad. It Is only people of mea :s who
oan afford to pay the hotel bills and othei
expenses which attend the "cure." At
Ca.lsbad all one has to do is to drinlt
tt-ater exercise and diet, and pay the
cure tax, but at Marier.bad a patient
must patron ze the gymnasiums and iht
mechanical exercising apparatus and all
that sort of thing, which costs more thar
his board. The regimen is very much
the same as that of Carlsbad. The only
way to ; educe the tissues of the human
body is by dieting and exertion. Hence
people who go to Marlenbad starve
themselves and get as tired as they can
every day. They keep doing something
all the time, and, while they nvght dc
the same things at home, and derive the
same benefits, if they made the effo-1,
there Is an inspiration and moral encouragement
in the knowledge that everybody
else in town is eating the ?am?
kind of food and going through the same
kind of mechanical movements, taking
the same kind of baths and go>ng to cd
at the same hour.
The bill Of fare, as provided at all the
hotels and restaurants of Marlenbad, excludes
everything that contains starch 01
sugar, and everything that makes fat,
and is limited to starchless bread, swelbach,
cold ham, boiled beef ariv. stewed
fruits, with coffee and tea for beverages,
and the medicinal waters, of course, civerybody
gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning,
drinks three or four glasses of watei
and exe.clses like a trotting norse for an
hour or two; then it is pioper to drink a
cup of coffee and eat a caust of bread.
Massage and Exercise.
Next comes the gymnasium, where ail
kinds of apparatus are provided to exercise
the muscles of the abdomen particularly,
and othe. parts ef the body generally.
After a light dinner of the ediblee
I have ment oned, the patient can rest a
little while and then have massage tr atraent,
which is rough and severe, because
it la intended to loosen the tissues ft on
the muecies and melt the tallow that liei

the sewe: s of the body.
A great deal will be endured of tha
sort of treatment by a woman who 1
protpd of her figure and a man who li
afraid of apoplexy. The patient is likel:
to be black and blue for the first week
but there is nothing so sublime in hutnai
experience as to suffer to be strong.

vapor ba'hs, and every other kind of
bathe that will start the perspiration, are
used to melt the flesh. By diligent app'ication
of these remedies people take
off twenty, fortv and often sixty pounds
of weight in a month, but as soon as they
; resume their ordinary diet and abandon
their exercise and return to their ordinary
habits of life they gradually get
their weight back and recover everything
they have lost at Marienbad. Thus, it
seems hardly practical to go to such an
expensive place and pay so much money
for something that can be had just as
well at home, and which the average person
does not value enough to preserve
when he gets it. Notwithstanding this
fact hundreds of people go there every
season, the largest number from Germany.
the second largest from England, ]
and there are many regular habitues, both J
women and men, from the United States, j
They have the same apartments, the same j
doctor, the same masseur, the same seats *
in the dining room every visit and the !
same attendants at the gymnasium and {;
bathrooms, and it is a very expensive j
; place.
The altitude is higher than that at '
! Carlsbad, being 2/103 to 1,165 feet; the ?
' water is cold instead of hot, but contains \
mos* of the same ingredients and has the *

! of the human system, partlcu'arly the
11 kidneys and the liver. The springs at
' j Carlsbad belong to the municipality; the
! springs at M&rienBad belong to the monks
in the neighboring monastery of Tepl,
seven miles distant, whg have owned them
and have sold the waters since 1133. About
a mil'ion bottles of the water are shipped
to different parts of the world every year,
and, as a doctor told me, "it never does
any harm, but it does no particular good." 1
Any cathartic water, he said, would an'
swer the purpose. Many springs in the
United States have the same virtues, and
I would accomplish what people go to Ma- r
. rienbad for. if they would limit them
selves to the same diet and take the same
; amount of exercise.

The British steamship Trongate, which gj
