Styled the Karlsbad ol America and it is where the peo pie of every land find amusemenl and rest. Hot Springs is noted as a health resort but more people gc there for pleasure and recreatior than for medical treatment. Two of the finest plunge baths in the world are found here. The watei is 92 ° in the Mammoth and 9tt ° in the old plunge and is even tem perature the year around. Mag nificent scenery abounds. The green hills covered here and there with pine trees , and mountainous peaks alternating with valleys and canyons in the distance lend en chantment to the office prisoners who seek rest in sequestered shady nooks or a plunge into the limpid waters to drown care and smooth wrinkles. Wind cave is only a couple of hours drive from Hot Springs and everyone who has not been through it should go. Hotel accommodations are ample at any time and they take good care oi their guests.
