Another Letter From Mrs. Kate
Strong at Sulphur, Oklahoma.

Sulphur, OKLA, June 80, 1918.
Well l visited one place where l
shall not visit again-the Deaf and
Dumb school, for two meals. I fail
ed to hear the dinner bell. This city
is divided into two parts, East Sui
phur and West Sulphur. East Sui
phur has paved streets and several
large business houses, also very
large hotel with bromide bath
house. The blue, white and black
Sulphur springs are near this hotel.
If all this town was together instead
of being so widely scattered it would
be a much better and prettier town.
It is situated at the foot of the Ar
buckle mountains, on both the Santa
Fe and Frisco railroads. Many In
dian legends surround the country
$40 acres is in this reservation, it
was ceded to the government in a
treaty with the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw tribes, the Indians bequeathed
the land that comprises the Plat
National park to the government. 1t
is said great benefits are derived
from the waters at Sulphur but IT
they do fail to cure, the outing is a
great pleasure. Over 80 mineral
springs are to be found in the reser-
walton. The bromide is said to be
the best and only one where the sup
ply is limited. The hours are from
a. m. to 6 p. M, two gallons per
day to each person. A doctor from
Oklahoma City drinks five gallons
per day-he weighs 240 pounds.

predominates in all the waters. l
