polltan, and in its halls will be found
the experienced travellers from every
country of the world
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence 1t has
one of the few spring floors to be found
IN the country, making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful. 1t is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. Its walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franciscans
ords of the ballroom show that it is
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps, held more distin-
guished company than any other room
of its kind west, of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. 1t is
the best illustration of a hall of the
Norman period. Even the tesselated
floor is made of special design, char
acteristic of the Norman times. From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers of
quaint design, made of hand-wrought
| iron in Paris especially for this room
The long French windows, which cover
| the entire north side of the Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, a broau
| tagged promenade, which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city.
Upon special occasions of large enter
tainment, the terrace is canvassed in,
making another hall, almost as large as
the Norman Cafe itself. On warm days
the terrace presents an animated scene,
reminding one largely of Paris or the
embankment in London. Here parties
of convivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
lair, overlooking the most beautiful
panorama of mountain and sea.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted is the number and
variety of it's different dining places.
In them one may find place to dine
as suits his convenience. The Laurel
Court, which is Immediately behind the
lobby, offers convenient grill for
ladies and gentlemen. Further on is
the main dining salon, with accommoda-
| tions for three hundred people. This

Two years ago, when the fire was rag
ing at its worst, the sight of the classic
outlines of the Fairmont Hotel, stand
ing out white against the black clouds
of smoke, lent hope to the anxious thou.
sands. When the flames swirled fercely
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was just about to open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings of its in
terror. How well the building was con-
|structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial of both
fire and its Accomplishments without a
single injury other than. the complete
destruction of everything 1nfammable
to be found inside of its walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced to rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at a cost of over two
million dollars, the work of reeonstruc'
ZION went on. over million uOlarS
was spent in interior fnishings and fur
niture, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
speak well for the care and taste used
in the selection. The formal opening
of the hotel to the public took place on
the 18th of April, 1907, just one year
after the catastrophe, at which time the
Chamber of Commerce gave banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
21st of April, 1907, the doors were
thrown open to the public with SPLEEN
did reception, to which nearly all San
Francisco came.
The hotel was not fully complete at
that time. Some of the rooms on the
upper floors were not ready, but when
the Palace Hotel Company, which for.
merly operated the old Palace Hotel on
Market street, took hold, determined to
push things through, the work went on
with amazing rapidity. Today, more
than any other building in San Fran
cisco, the Fairmont stands monument
to the energy and determination Of her
citizens.
In it San Franciscans have hotel

quets. In other parts of the same floor
are found the special tea and card
rooms set aside for the use of guests
who wish to entertainsin a less formal
way. Then there are private dining
rooms, where organizations may meet
around friendly board. On floor A
is found the crypt, one of the most
unique cafes in existence. It is in the
corner of Mason and Sacramento and
is extremely popular with the business
men of San Francisco. 1t offers a COM
Portable grill and bar for men, where
special attention is paid to the cook
ing of steaks and chops and old coun-
try dishes. The service here is swift
and efficient, and it is immensely popu-
lar as luncheon place for business
men.
The Fairmont, as it stands today, in
the epitome of hotel excellence. The
vast experience which the Palace Hotel
Company had in the celebrated Palace
Hotel has been utilized in this house.
To Colonel John c. Kirkpatrick, General
| Manager of the Palace HOTEL Company,
was given the task of Installing into
a brand new house the spirit of hos
pitality which made the old Palace Ho-
tel celebrated in two hemispheres. How
well he has succeeded in doing this is
evident the moment one enters the
doors of the Fairmont. For the Palace
Hotel spirit of hospitality enfolds one
like a garment, making his visit one
of delight, his leave-taking one of re-
greet, and his memory of the time so
spent one of great pleasure
The Fairmont Hotel offers to the
traveller all the eonveniences and luxu-
ries known to the best modern hotel,
together with many exclusive features,
some of which we have spoken of above.
Every room in the entire hotel has
bath attached. For $3.50 one may thus
enjoy pleasant room, beautifully fur
nished in mahogany, with dainty
white-tiled bath; or, for as low as ten
dollars, suite of rooms. Visitors to
San Francisco may rest assured that at
the Fairmont Hotel they win find only
the best of accommodations and service.

Things He Thought of While

(On the Train from Chicago to New

next year. By the way, Thielen was
in San Francisco the other day. I met
a railway lawyer bearing his name, to
whom Thielen had introduced the Ha-
wallan pine, and the prominent law
yer I met in Southern California was
singing the praise of Hawaiian canned
pines, which he declared to be better
than any fresh fruit he had ever tasted.
Thomas tells me one pineapple planta-
ton raises 300 tons of ripe pines in
day, and it costs SO a ton to ship them
by the Alameda to San Francisco.
Wouldn t it be well to make con-
tract with Brother Cockroft and the
selling firm to ship 1000 tons once
every thirty-fve days, by the Mari

Railroad Needs Completion.
If the railroad from Hilo to the

would mean that the Clark cruisers
would spend one more day in the Ha-

this road will positively be completed

ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP?
It Has Been Proved that Microbes
Cause Badness

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
microbe causes badness. Their
theory has Tune and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation of
eminent scientists. This microbe LODI
ges in the Sebun which is the natural
hair oil, and when permitted to -four
ish it destroys the hair follicles and
in time the pores entirely close, and
the scalp gradually takes on a shiny
appearance. When this happens
there is no hope of the growth of hair
being revived.
Dandruff is a contagious disease,
which is largely due to a destructive
microbe, which when left to pursue
it's course causes itching scalp falling
hair and badness. Dandruff is caus-
ed by the microbe affecting the glands
which produce the sebaceous matter,
which latter then unnaturally dries up
and scales off.
We have a remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff. ex-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around
the hair roots, tighten and revitalize
the hair roots and overcome badness,

hair roots
We back up this statement with
our own personal guarantee that this
remedy called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
will be supplied free of all cost to the
user if it fails to do as we state.
It will frequently restore gray and
faded hair to its original color. pro

these results by making every hair
