N0N.T|PP|NG HOTEL
Makes Success, and Another win
Be Erected.
Public Likes Idea and New Hostility
Will Be Largest In WorId-con-
tains 1000 Bedrooms and Has
Roof Garden.

London.-When Sir Joe Lyons, Eng
lands newest knight, opened a big
hotel on The Strand about Is months
ago and announced that there would be
no tips in the new hostelry. most old
Londoners laughed. They predicted
that within year either the servants
would be accepting tips In the time
honored way or the hotel would be
closed.
Neither has happened. The hotel has
not closed and the no-tipping system
has proven such success that the d.
rectors are going to build the biggest
hotel In England and probably in the
world. where the same system will be
practiced. II will contain 1000 bed
rooms, and its total dimensions will be
over 10000 cubic feet It will have
large roof CARIBBEAN innovation in
English hotels-fine smoking and bill
lizard rooms. libraries, and. in fact,
every modern convenience.
What the exterior of the building Is
to look like has not been quite de-
cided, but from a hint dropped by Mr..
Salmon It may be assumed that 1t
will be distinctly impressive in ap-
pearance.
The site intended for the hotel Is the
old world neighborhood which lies be-
hind Regent street and Piccadilly cir
Gus. II Is within few seconds walk
of each. yet quieter or more easily
settable spot could hardly be imagined.
A number Of very interesting old
buildings will have to be demolished
to make room for the hotel, and a
whole block of houses will have to
come down. In one of the streets
which are going. the undertaken who
made Nelson's Aboukir coffin had his
shop, and a number of other venerable
old business places will disappear The
cost of the site has probably been
high. as a great many leases must have
been bought up.
The rates at the new hotel will be
six shillfngs a night ($1.50).
i asked about the success Of the no.
tipping system.
The system has been complete
success" said one OF the directors.
How do the public fall in with the
regulations?" ! asked. do they ever
attempt to evade them?"
They do occasionally" he replied.
But it's only occasionally. As a rule
they fall In with the system at once"
And you find the servants Just as
ready to oblige as when they had

Quite" was the answer.
The servants themselves seem to
consider the system a success from
their point Of view. for Mr.. Salmon

er who depends on tips.
Many people here are Of the opinion
that such places as their hotel are
quickly bringing about the death of the
boarding house keeper. 1t stands to
reason that II for a price so low one
can get all the high-class hotel COM
forts not many are going to remain in
the boarding house.

This bed bath is the invention of a
southern physician who designed II pri-

other diseases where the full or plunge
bath is indicated. In administering
the full bath in typhoid fever cases

that the rubber bed bath, which does
away with this difficulty. will be hailed
as one of the greatest medical inven-
lions of the age.
According to medical statistics. the
death rate from typhoid fever, which
has increased in the United States to
an alarming extent in the last few
years, has been reduced from so to 100
per cent. when the Brand treatment
was used. the only objection to the
Brand treatment being the necessity
of lifting the patient from his bed
