a YEOMEN SANITARlUM j.
Judge Cook Has "a Good Scheme on Foot
for One at Hot Springs.

The Brotherhood of American Yeo-
1900, and it has had a slow but sure
growth since that time, SO that today
it is OH firm footing and is here to
stay. 1t is one of the fastest growing
orders in the United States today. 1t
is one of the fraternal insurance orders
that was sensible and far seeing enough
to start with reserve fund. The writer
would kindly ask every reader of this
paper to read this article for it is of
the utmost Importance to every bust
ness man, every property holder in Hot
Springs as we'll as every man or woman
that wants to see our little city grow,
and the members of the Yeomen order
respectfully ask the whole. hearted
support of ali the citizens of Hot
Springs.
The Yeomen of this town are going
to take off their coats, roll up their
sleeves. put their shoulders to the
wheel and push, haul, spit on their
hands and yell, ''get up and get" And,
too, we are not going to quit until we
accomplish our ends. We Yoemen
mean business from the word go. We
expect to live in Hot Springs until we
die, and our bodies will still stay here
for ever and ever aterwdrd.
\ short time ago two of the board of
directors of the Yeoman order we're
here to investigate the claim of Mrs
M. d. Anderson for disability Said
claim was allowed and Mrs Anderson
was paid three hundred aud fifty dol
lars in cash. w. w. Forney belonged
to this order when he died and his
in just twenty-one days after he died
These gentlemen, Mr.. Henry Lehman
and William Koch, we're greatly taken
with our beautiful city, our fine hotels,
bath houses and business places, and
were sorry their business would not
allow them to remain here for month.
While talking with these gentlemen
Judge Cook who, by the WAY is secre-
tary of the 1eomen lodge here-brought
up, under the head of "Anythimg to
offer for the Good of the Order" the
idea OF the Yeonen building hospital
and senitarium in this city, The visit
ing gentlemen both Thought it was :.
grand idea and one OF the best things
ior the good aud benefit OF the ORDER
that could be thought of. Therefore
the writer is we'll satisfied that if the
citizens of Hot Springs Will heartily
support 1his enterprise, that the grand
lodge or ''Head Castle" OF Teolnen or
Ger. which is located at Des Moines.
Iowa, can be induced to build and
maintain d hospital and santarum
here. Such an institution would be of
untold benefit to our city and would
be the means of compelling other lodges
and orders to build sanitariums here,
which is just what the citizens of Hot
Springs want. for sanitariums are what
will make our town grow.
Hon. s. r. Wilson and Judge Cook
will be a committee to look after and
take care of all advertising matter, etc :,
and respectfully ask Commercial club
to see that they are provided with
, plenty of it, SO said committee can send
he same to the board of directors at
Des Moines, Iowa. The committee
wants to make a big showing with the
first lot sent in and will call upon our
business men and ask them to write
personal letters inviting the Yeomen
order to locate sanitarium here.
Now, citizens of Hot Springs, what
think you-will you give this thing
your hearty support and thus make it
a success? 1t is in your hands. The
Yeomen order has plenty of money to
build sanitarium for the members of
their order. 1t is we'll known that all
insurance lodges and orders are start
ing new things as an inducement for
people to join them. The Ancient
Oorder of the Pyramids is building an
Orphans Home in Kansas at the pres.
ent time.
1t would not be a bad idea for our
prominent business men and women to
join the Yeomen lodge here, thus show
ing the order that we as citizens of Hot
. Springs appreciate the order.
The committee would like advertis-
ing matter, photos, etc. in fact any
and every thing to advertise Hot
Springs in its brightest and best colors.
You will hear from us again in this
matter. EMMETT b. Cook
