VIRGINIA HOT SPRINGS.

NJ AZURE was in very lavish
M mood when she distributed
so many attractions in the
immediate vicinity of the Hot
Springs in Virginia. The wonder
full health giving qualities of the
springs attracted many thousands of
tourists long before the coming of the
railroad, even a century ago. The beau
tiful pnickly wooded country of the re-
gion is set amid some of the finest
mountainous scenery in the world.
great variety of outdoor sports may be
enjoyed here TO the full. The visitors
attracted to the Hot Springs regularly
from all parts of the country will be-
sides find hotel accommodations where
every conceivable luxury has been pro-
vided.
The famous medicinal springs Of the
region have lost none o. their potency
in more than a century. The resort
was we'll known even in Colonial days.
To accommodate its visitors a hotel
was built here as early as 1856. 1t was
found necessary in those early days to
maintain outposts for miles about to
give warning of possible Indian attacks.
The old records Of the Springs show
that in the season of 1888 more than
6, 900 people visited the resort, although
the nearest railroad at the time stopped
at Philadelphia. The journey was made
by coach AMI on horseback. The visitor
of the present may make the journey
with less effort. A single nights ride
from New York brings the visitor to
the Springs in time for breakfast.
The curative waters of the springs
flow from the ground at a temperature
of l06 degrees Fahrenheit, thus giving
the region its name. The arrangements
for taking the waters are perfect. The
water other than the medicinal springs
near the hotel are piped from springs
on the top of a mountain eight miles
away. 1t is conducted by gravity to the
bath house and distributed fresh from
the ground TO the bathing apartments
on different floors without loss of heat
fully charged with the gases which
work such marvellous cures, There
are a variety of baths, the most popu-
lar being the so-called spout bath
which combines the mechanical or mas
sage effect with the medicinal qualities
Of the water itself,
The region is especially fortunate in
it's climate. The Springs are situated

The waters at Hot Springs are bene-
fetal not only for bathing but for
drinking. In addition to the hot springs
which are found so beneficial as drink
ing waters there are a series of springs
known as magnesia, sulphur and soda
springs within the grounds. and in the
vicinity an alum water spring. The
water from the soda springs flows from
the ground at uniform temperature
of "a degrees. The warm sulphur
springs are situated five miles from
the hot springs at about the same ele-
walton. A fine boulevard leads 20 the
sulphur springs, and guests are accom-
modated by an excellent hotel. \ pop
ular drive from both resorts leads to
the famous Flag Rock" the highest
point of the mountain range where
at an altitude Of 1000 feet one may
enjoy a marvellous panoramic view for
more than a hundred miles

during the hot days of August. Any one watching the crowds of people thronging the swimming pool these af- ternoons and evenings can almost lnl- agine they are watching a beach scene at some California resort. A short ride on MaxwelTs auto bus takes one from the heated city streets to this cool shady resort with it's immense rock walled swimming pool and constantly running fresh water where one can swim and dive to their hearts content and soon forget all about there being such a thing as warm weather in Phoe- nix in the summer time. Eastern peo- ple would hardly believe. bat It Is Q fact nevertheless. that the water in the pool has to be heated even in August before it acceptably warm for Phoe- nicians The bathing never was finer than it is now and hundreds are talk ing advantage of the nearby oppor- tunity to cool off and freshen up. A bath at Riverside every afternoon or evening. will make anyone feel more like working or playing and makes the summer seem shorter and much more pleasant The picnic grounds are at tracing many people from the country as well as from Phoenix, and It IS common sight to see picnic parties from Mesa, Tempe, Glendale and other valley towns all at nearby tables en-
 toying themselves ard satisfying their appetites after a swim. In the evening the cool outdoor seats at the picture show attracts the crowd until the dane ing starts in the nearby pavilion. An unusually fine program will be shown tonight, seven full reels. including that wonderfully interesting serial feature, 'The Goddess" which has attracted so much attention and favorable comment. The new dancing music has made a hit with the younger set and even made some of the older ones feel younger and the evenings ct Riverside are get ting cool enough to make dancing one of the attractive features.
