WATER At CARLSBAD
GREAT BEAUT|F|ER
Viennese Women's MatchIess
Compilations Due to Fa-
!. nous Springs. -

Among the most beautiful women of
the world it is generally conceded that
the Viennese take very high place
This fact is the more remarkable when
one considers the life of the average
Niennese lady.
In carnival, or "fasching" as it is call
life is very gay one, and we need only
remembc the name of Strauss to believe
that dancing is one of her chief amuse-
ments. nay. one might almost say occu-
pations, for in Vienna ball does not
last from II till 3 o'clock, but from
8 till 6. I and even 8 o'clock in the
mornings. t
Nevertheless, nowhere does one find a
above all such wonderful compilations
and bright eyes. What then is the Sc
cret? Has she discovered some magic
pigment, is it artificial. or is 1t the work
of the beauty doctor?
To find the truth you must ask the
lady herself, If you prefer you may
watch her when she has temporarily put
aside her gay life and is devoting her
attention to her health by taking a
cure
At any time during the season at Carls-
bad you will find the "Sprudel' sur

gay throng as you find at Vienna,

slipping their 'Bechers" of the mineral
waters, and for the time being lost to all
other occupation than the recuperation
of health and strength the leading for
some weeks of a regular and hygienic
life, and the exercise Of habits Of mod
eratiCn in diet.
Carlsbad differs from most of the con-
tinentdl watering places in that while
amusements and distraction are properly
provided for, the first consideration is
the cure
"Curen Comes First.
Here you have your golf links, your
tennis courts (second only to those of the
He des Puteaux), your theater, your
horse racing, ETC. but here first and
foremost you. have the cure

the town. 1t takes possession of you

special trains from Paris. Berlin. Peters,
burg or Vienna. and you find your life
arranged for you upon well thought out
principles of health.
You are not called upon to make any
special effort for as everybody is doing
the same thing you would find 1t an effort
to do otherwise. You are required mere
~ to fall into line; the rest is done for
you.
At your hotel you will not need to wor-
ry as to whether you may eat this or
that; the kitchen Is under the control of

the Medical Society of Carlsbad. AS

Diet Supervision.
Is there too much starch in the bread
you eat? If there were and the doctor
discovered it that bakery would be
closed Besides you have another protec-
ton Your rolls are each packed and
appear at table in a separate tissue paper
bag, with the composition of the bread
printed on the back.
Are you doubtful about the milk ?
There is an inspector stationed on every
road leading into Carlsbad, and it would
not be good business for that dairyman
whose milk or butter was found want
ing Nor is this inspection confined
merely to dairy produce. Fruit, vegeta-
bles and meat must all undergo the
strictest examination.
And so throughout your three or four
week stay you will be unconsciously the
object of a thousand little attentions.

experience and exercised only after that
experience has proved them to be bene-
fetal to your health.
Prospect of Brilliant Season.
The season at Carlsbad this year prom
Uses to be an exceptionally brilliant one.
especially with regard to American and
English visitors. Never before, accord
ing TO hotelkeepers, have SO many adj
vance orders been received.
AS early as last Christmas rooms had
been booked for the 1913 season. The
fact is that Carlsbad has made such
strides in the matter of architectural and
or three years that when it is made
ready for the rush of the season it pre-
sents a spick and span appearance that
makes special appeal TO those two ma
