the few institutions of its kind in the
United States. 1t is the settlement
n college of the Sevcn-day Adven-
lists, and is the only school of its kind
between Battle Creek, Mich, and Cali
fornia.
The main objects of Interest in the
village are the sanitarium, q branch of
the Battle Creek restitution, the sani-
tarium bakery and the college. Upon
entering the sanltarium the first thing
That lmpresses one is the neatness and
cleanness of the place. The doctors
in charge ate cordial, and will gladly
show II over the building.
On the ground floor is situated the
parlors, consultation room, private
Office, business Office, dining room and
kitchen. On the second floor are the
sleeping and surgical rooms. The
basement is occupied with bath rooms;
one side for men and the other for wo-
men. Trained attcn, ants, dressed in
suits like those worn for bathing, are
busy giving baths of all kinds. Through

In the basement, with other appa-
ratus for giving the various treatments,
IS a queer looking cabinet or closet.
Although it occupied a humble corner,
1T is something that the sauitarium is
proud Of, for it is something new. 1t
Is where they give the electric light
bath. The inside of the cabinet is not
as plain looking as the outside. When
tho door is thrown open one sees a
pretty sight. The inside of the cabi-
net is lined with heavy plate mirrors
and has rows of i~ncandesccnt lights
running up and down its sides.
When a patient needs an electric
light bath he is placed in this cab :
on a stool, and the lights turned vA.

that there a be a division made il
the cabinet so that the patients heat
may be outside, breathing the air o.
normal temperature, if so desired
while the body is undergoing the heat
ing process.
