The Army and Navy hospital is sup
piled with water from the springs. II
is administered by the war department
for the benefit OF officers and enlisted
men of the military and naval service
OF the United States, ana for honorably
discharged soldiers and sailors of the
regular and volunteer army, but ad-
mission here is reserved for diseases of
a serious and obstinate character such as
these waters have an established rep
utation for beuefiting.
The government free bathhouse for the
poor, estab lishtd in 1878, gave t01, 255 free
baths in 1917. But there are no hospitals
in the city of Hot Springs to which
patients can be admitted free OF charge,
nor any funds from which relief can
be given or railroad transportation
furnished. This statement appears to
be necessary, as many destitute invalids
come each year from far and near, believ-
ing that the government maintains
free institution.
The waters range in temperature from
102 to 147 degrees. The city OF Hot
Springs is governed under state and mu-
| nicipal law. Ii spreads beyond the
narrow valley in which the springs are To-
Gated, out over the open plain to the south
and east. There are churches of many
| denominations, fine public ana private
| schools, hospitals, theatres and other
places of amusement. The resident pop
ulation is about 5000. There are many
hotels, boarding houses, cottages and
| apartments for housekeeping. The eli
mate is good throughout the year. At
present we are enjoying Minnesota's late

we have had for two weeks are not always

The bluebirds, redbirds and catbirds
are out around in the suburbs, and even a

Indians long before the coming of the
Spaniards. 1t is told that the various
tribes battled from time to time for con-
troll of the hot waters, in which they be-
lieved'the 'Great Spirit" dwelt, but finally
a truce was declared and their benefits
were given to the sick OF all tribes.
The earliest white settlement was made
about the year 1900. An open log csbin
and few huts built OF split boards, evil
IDENTIFY erected by persons coming with
the hope of regaining their health, were
found about 1904. One hundred and twelve
years ago the first permanent cabin was
built. In 1892 the hot springs and the
four sections of land surrounding them
were, by act OF Congress, set aside for the
future disposal OF the United States, not
to be entered, located or appropriated for
any other purpose whatever, thus mskIng
the first national park reservation of the
country and keeping the water free from
monopoly and exploitation.
The springs are all grouped about the
base OF Hot Springs mountain, their COM
bined flow being over $4,000 gallons per
day. The hot water is supplied to the
various lighthouses, and the receipts from
this source are expended, under the direc-
tion of the Secretary of the Interior in

reservation. There are more than eleven
miles of well-built roads and footpaths
over the mountains.

Old friends are best
Old forms, old hearts, old faces
That haunt the memory OF the passing

And seem to dwell among deserted places,

Close by the door, they always seem to say

Brings back the faces that we used to

And in the winter of the heart are ring

Brings respite from the daily toll ana care
