THE HEALING STRENGTH
OF MINERAL WATER
In Cases of Dyspepsia, Rheumatism,
Gout and Nervous Breakdown,
is Marvelous.
Upon recent investigation by eminent
physicians, chemists and scientists it
has been demonstrated that natural,,
earth flowing mineral waters are the
most beneficial means for the cure of
organic maladies. . :
Paso Robles Hot Springs are at this
time the point of interest to most in
vestigators, as receVit occurrences have
attracted the attention of the thinking
world to these springs. .
One of their chief points of interest
to medical men is said to be that which
proves ' that a pre-eminent- chemical
action rests in the waters which flow
from the earth at Paso Robles, Califor
nia. '
Paso Robles Hot Springs is making
cures daily of rheumatism, gout, stom
ach trouble, neurotic diseases, kidney
trouble and general breakdown, which
proves almost . beyond question to
medical men that there is some quality
in these waters superior to any in this
country and probably in the world.
It is also claimed for Paso Robles
that the air conditions are perfect. 5 It
Iie in a small; Valley protected ; by
mountain ranges; is 720 feet above sea
level and is not assailed by too much'
sea moisture or an ' abnormal tempera
ture from the hot land winds.
.( This air condition is thought by some
to have almost, as much to do with its
cures as theVaters themselves. ,
The town, like all health resorts, is
filled with boarding houses of all kinds,
so that every purse will be pleased, j
There are hotels for the rich, where
any luxury may be had. Private baths
for exclusive patrons who wish to be
to themselves.
These springs have been known for
centuries, for they were used by the
Indian to cure his sick and later the
Franciscan fathers performed wonder
ful cures here, but it is only recently
that the really marvelous powers of
these waters were made known to the
world at large.
Nearly every form of organic trouble
is treated, at these hot springs, for the
authorities welcome all- except those
who have tuberculosis or unclean dis
eases. For the man who suffers from
over-eating or from alcoholic excesses
there is nothing in the world to equal a
week spent at Paso Robles. It straight
ens him out with a rapidity that is won
derful, and the best recommendation is
that they do away with the nerve-crav
ing for stimulants because of their
peculiar soothing effects upon the nerv
ous system. ''..- ., ' ',;
Truly speaking, the study of Paso
Robles Hot Springs is one which is
giving the medical ' fraternity abroad
and at home much interest, and is pro
bably directing more attention to Call
fornia than any other of her natural
gifts man.
A small book, neatly illustrated, has
been recently published by the manage
ment telling the story of the Hot
Springs in a most interesting manner
and giving complete information. Send
for it,, either to Wm.' McMurry, Gen
eral Passenger Agent of ;the O. R. &
N., Portland, Ore., or Dr. F. W. Saw

WHITE PLAGUE WAR.
Billboard Fight on Tuberculosis to Bo
Nation Wide.
Preparations have been nearly com
pleted for a national $1,000,000 poster
campaign against tuberculosis, wtfieh
will be substantially supported by bill
posters and persons interested In the
ever growing fight with the disease.
The National Association For the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis,
the Associated Bill Posters and Dis
tributers of America and the Poster
Printers' Association of the United
States have united in the distribution
and putting up of large posters 7 feet
wide by 9 feet 4 inches high. . Three
smaller posters which will be put out
are labeled as follows: "Remember.,
consumption kills one in every ten iu
this district," "Consumption can be
prevented" and "Cause of consump
tion." Each of the three smaller pos;t
ers has rules inscribed for the preven
tion of the disease.
The campaign is an outcome of the
last convention of the billposters, at
which time a resolution was adopted
granting free of charge to the National
Association For the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis space on all the
billboards controlled by the organiza
tion, located In 3.400 towns and vil
lages of the United States. ,
The national association was con
fronted then with the difficulty of get
ting funds to print the posters and was
aided by the poster printers, who of
fered to do the printing free. Paper
manufacturers then were appealed to,
and this resulted in enough paper be
ing secured to start the printing of 15.-
000 posters. The sketches for the de
signs were solicited from artists in and
around New York.
Through the generosity of the differ
ent groups the national association is
able to inaugurate one of the largest
billposting campaigns ever undertaken
by a philanthropic organization. . Phil
B. Jacob, assistant secretary of the as
sociation, says that 1,000,000, posters
will be pasted on billboards in every
state of the Union. , The posters are
designed to show graphically how con
sumption can be cured and prevented.
It is expected that the poster cam
paign will stimulate interest in every
locality in the United States for the
prevention and cure, of the disease.
The association intends to put out
other designs later.
Association members argue that per
sons who should take an interest in
the campaign against tuberculosis are
not attracted by small pamphlets upon
the subject, so must be attracted in
this striking manner. The undertak
ing has necessitated a large outlay to
cover mailing expenses. ' ;
AT J. P. MORGAN'S COMMAND.
Vast 'Banking Capital and Resources
. ' Controlled by the Great Banker.
. The enormous banking - capital, and
resources 1 Controlled by J. Pierpont
Morgan, the noted financier and bank
er, who recently bought the stock of
the' Equitable Life Assurance society
held by Thomas F. Ryan, who pur
chased the Equitable's stock control
from James Hazen Hyde in June.
1905, are. shown in the following table:
Equitable Life Assurance so
ciety : 1462,000,000
New York Life Insurance com
pany . 557,000,000
National Bank of Commerce.. 244,000,000
First National bank 184.000,000
Guaranty Trust company 100,000,000
Mercantile Trust company ,000,000
Equitable Trust company ..... 62,000,000
Bankers' Trust company 48,000,000
Astor Trust company 17,000,000
Total $1,749,000,000
Commenting on this financial deal, a
leading New York paper in an edito
rial says: - .
'What J. Pierpont Morgan bought
from Thomas F. Ryan was not a ma
jority of the stock of the Equitable
Life Assurance society, but the privi
lege of controlling over $460,000,000 of
other people's money. The Equitable
stock that Mr. Ryan originally owned
could pay only $3,514 in legitimate div
idends under the 7 per cent clause in
the society's charter. Mr. Ryan paid
James Hazen Hyde $2,500,000 for this
opportunity to earn $3,514 a year.
What Mr. Morgan has paid to Mr..
Ryan is still a secret, but Mr. Ryan is
not in the habit of selling anything for
less than he paid for It.
"The Morgan interests- have long
dominated the New York Life. Now
with the assets of the Equitable in
their possession they wield what is
probably the most tremendous finan
cial power concentrated in the' hands
of any set of 'private individuals in the
world."
Airship Symphony. . '
August Bungert's new symphony,.
"Zeppelin's First Voyage," which was
recently produced under the direction
of Professor William Res at Coblenz,
Germany, is dedicated to Count Zep
pelin. .It .introduces the automobile
horn as an orchestral Instrument. ' The
theme describes the preparations for
the count's ascent in his first dirigible
balloon, the smooth flight, the applause
of the multitudes as the airship passes
over the plains, the mountains, the
valleys and the- cities, the- thunder-.
storm, the landing and finally the de
struction of the aerocraft by fire.
The, New Goethe Museum.
"Twelve years have passed since the
Goethe . museum at Frankfort was
opened as an annef to the Goethe-
naus, ana in the meantime the library
has grown to 40,000 volumes, together
with a precious ' collection 'of manu
scripts and drawings. Now it has been
decided to replace the unstable struc
ture with two fine flreprobf edifices in
the style prevailing in Frankfort in
1790, to be erected in the Grossen
Hirschgraben and the Salzbaus, ad
joining the birthplace of the poet.
