fore local doctors would feel inclined to give very much assistance to any advertising fund, and c. c. Lemley, the well known druggist, outlined his idea of how the advertising should be placed. He suggested the printing of Boltwood's analysis of the hot springs and the publication of the statement that the local waters are radioactive, and then tell what radium was good for; that we ask residents of those cities in which the advertisements are placed to look about them and ask some one in their town who has been to Hot Springs what they think of this resort and the hot baths. He said that Hot Springs should raise an advertis- ing fund of at least $5O00O, and that the railroaods should be asked to give their share.
 Orr. E. Holland seconded MT Cal lahan's motion, and Captain C. N. RiX, upon being requested to address the meeting, said that he agreed with Messrs. Waters and Little, and that conditions here at present were such as to make all realize that something must be done to get visitors to this city. He praised the Little Rock-Hot | Springs highway and claimed that it would be of great advantage to this city, and that when it came time to 1 frfh ht4fn fn h,, oHr yfuip h,a would give his share, as he has always | done in the past.
 Gus Strauss suggested that it might be well to eliminate in the advertising the fact that the local waters are a cure for a certain disease and to ad- vertise that the baths will cure rheu- matism and Kindred diseases and not advertise the other one too properly. 1 Mayor McClendOn referred to local conditions at the railroad stations and 1 said that something should be done to remedy the drumming evil and that part of the advertising fund raised should be spent in this city for the protection of visitors and their enter tainment.
 1 James Martin, manager of the I'm perial bath house, made one of the most emphatic addresses of the eve. ming, in which he stated that when "the man on the train" is stopped 1 from making the announcement as at present, Hot Springs will have taken decided step forward in the enter. tainment of it's visitors. As matters I now stand, said Mir. Martin, visitors are scared before they reach the city and he put this proposition up square ly before the meeting; that Hot | Springs is in a serious predicament when representative of the United States government tells visitors not to take the advice of any one in the city; that such statement was in the nature of blanket indictment against every resident. Mr. Martin claimed that if every visitor who came to Hot Springs bathed under the direc. tion of a physician that they would | stay here longer. He said that he was | compelled to refuse a man the baths | because of his condition and the fact that this particular visitor had not seen a physician, and he illustrated | the i'll effects in the case of malaria
 when a visitor bathes who has not pre- yiously seen a doctor His remarks were right to the point, loudly ap- | plauded and decidedly appreciated.
 Simon Cooper closed the speaking with an old-time boosting address for Hot Springs, pointing out it's many
 beauties and claiming that the resort
 was decidedly in class by itself and possessed attractions and assets, es- peciahy in the world-famous hot baths, that no other resort had.
 The committee appointed last night will meet this afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Business Mems League, at
 which time they will select the as sessment committee.
