kota, through mountain gates and along
crnon Drinks, you dart into Helena at

YOUR ROOM.

YOUR ROOM.
Straight to the Hotel Broadwater! You
can see the city some other time. "A ho-
tel?" you say. 'Why, this must be some
body's magnificent private residence"
feet. Forty acres of walks and flower
| beds and fountains and trees, for hotel
yard! One hundred and eighty bed
rooms and in every one hot and cold wa
ter for lavatory uses and spring water for
drinking and all at their natural temper

member this is Montana
BEAUTY AND HEALING.
Do you see that domed and minerated
building that looks like dream of the
Arabian Nights come to town and is as
oriental as Moslem? A few dervishes
your presence in the land of harems. If
you are to accept my prescription you
! will go thither for this is the aquatic
theatre" Just opposite the hotel. No
toy Tub, this. 1t is 150x320 feet and 100
feet high. This is where you make
rheumatism and other isms stake water"
and barter them off for sound body and
a serene mind.
THE WORLDS LARGEST.
The plunge bath-mark the dimensions
is lGOx3OO feet-the biggest to be found
anywhere.
That fortyfoot cascade yonder?
Hot water from Helena's hot springs,
splashing down into the bath and keep
Ing it full of the genial and health Civ
ing flood. There are million gallons
Of natural mineral water that flow daily
into this huge bath from the thermal
springs. There are 10000 square feet of
glass in this building. Electric lights
illuminate the bathing hall at night.
And here, in water at warmth of 800,
you may splash about and tell me wheth-
er or not you like my prescription.
Speak!
Then there are private baths, too. The
hotel and private baths cost 100000, the
natatorium 100000 and the furniture of
both $4,000. Nothing tedious about
that, is there?
The difference between the Hot Springs
of Arkansas and the Hot Springs Of Mon
tana is that the former are in Arkansas
and the latter in Montana. And that
means the difference between weaken
ing climate in summer, with damp and
chilly atmosphere in winter, and an air
that exhilarates like champagne and in
viEorates like an influx of righteous
ness.
Climate?
Montana has the lowest death-rate but
one in the union, and that one must get out
of the way. Mountain and ocean air-cur-
rents meet here at Helena. Montana was
built as an environment for lungs.
THEY ARE EyoTICs.
You can't raise diseased pair of lungs
in Montana. They are all exotics, brought
in from the outside. If they come early
enough they recover soundness; even If
they come too late, they are "let down
easy" tuberculosis does not thrive in
Montona, and even in hopeless cases this
rare, tonic air arrests the development of
disease. Montana is natural sanitarium.
Bathe in its hot springs and breathe its
air, and if there is life for you anywhere
on this round globe you have it here, in
these Rocky mountain heights. The
springs of Arkansas are 800 feet above
tide water. AT Helena you are 1900 feet
above the sea. The warmth of the Chi
nook wind robs winter of its strings, and
the dryness of the air gives health to ev
cry day.
