Emery Olmstead, Elected Presi dent of the Northirtaten Na tional Bank Yesterday. tional Bank, has been identified with the Institution since its organization. He began his banking- career when 18 years of age in the Northwestern Na tional Bank, of Minneapolis. In 1907 he was offered an official position in the National Bank of Commerce at Seattle and came to the Pacific North west to assume the duties of the post. His aggressive spirit of progressive banking conduct attracted attention, and in 1911 he was induced to come to Portland as vice-president and gen eral manager of the Portland Trust Company of Oregon, which under his management grew in two years from resources of about $1,500,000 to $4, 000.000. The Northwestern National Bank was organized in January, 1913, and took over the commercial business of the Portland Trust Company, when Mr. Olmstead became vice-president and manager and has continued in the re sponsibilities of the dual position since. The remarkable growth that has characterized the history of the bank is a testimonial to the fine discernment and acumen of the man who has di rected its management. On January 2, 1913, the total resources were J2.473, 926.82 and had increased to $20,943, 049.67 on December 31. 1918. "There will be no change in the policy of the institution." said Mr. Olmstead last night "Mr. Pittock's policy to develop a. bank that would be of the greatest benefit poss.'ble to Portland and the Northwest will be continued. It has been built up on the principle that a bank should be a vital factor in the constructive devel opment of the city and state. Com mercial and industrial progress of any community is dependent in a large measure upon the breadth of vision of its bankers. It is the aim of the man agement of this bank to keep pace with the steady advancement of the financial and commercial interests, and to render the assistance to enterprise and benefits to the community that are within the power of a sound, progres sive bank." Mr. Olmstead has served the public in various public activities. He was chairman of the Liberty Loan cam paign committee for the Portland drives In the Third and Fourth loans, and is now state president of the War Camp Community Service. He is presi dent of the Portland Clearing-House Association, to which he was elected at the annual meeting last month.

RHENISH BATH NOTED ONE 1 5 Oth Field, Artillery Has Howitzers and Mules Parked In Scenes Of Splendor. BY CYRIL BROWN. (Copyright 1910. by the New York World. Published by Arrusemeat.) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION. Jan. 6. (MaU.) The competition for softest billets, open to all members of the American Army of occupation, appears to have been woh by the 150th Field Artillery of the Rainbow Division. Its members are leadlnir near-mil lionaires' lives, when not otherwise occupied by military duties. In Bad Neuenahr, "the Rhenish Karlsbad." This "world-famed cure and bath re sort" (according to the guide books) was before the coming en masse of the Americans, visited annually by 22,000 guests, not counting transients: and though the Teuton sick, who suffered from ailments for which Bad Neuen- ahr"s hot spring waters are vouched sure specifics by legions of long bearded German professors, are giving the Rhenish Spa a wide berth Just now. It is probable that between the 150th Field Artillery's Missouri mules and mixed personnel and the bathing fans flocking In from neighboring ear risons, the Karlsbad of the Rhine never enjoyed a more lively or picturesque season. Hall la Crowded Dally. From rooming till night the grand hallway of the bath hotel Is well filled with men and officers, wait ing their turns to take hot mineral baths. The establishment boasts 100 private bath establishments and as one of our medical officers from the Mid dle West put It contains every bath fake known to science for parting the idle rich from their money, including radium baths, light baths and mud baths: but our military Kur guests wisely confine their activities to the straight hot water variety. There are no bathtubs. The in dividual bathrooms, averaging 10 or 12 feet square, are done in spotless white tiling, sometimes frgured in Pompeiian blue. And the marble baths are sunk below the tiled floors, Roman style, with marble steps for the buck privates and visiting doughboys to de scend into. the hot mineral waters. Attendant Service Good. Bustling German worflen attend ants draw these, regulating the tem perature electrically. .When the rush 13 on, the men bathe in batches of three. After the bath, there are couches In each room on which they may recline. The German women at tendants, accustomed to playing mil lionalres in unoccupied times, may have been Inclined to be a bit snobbish at first, and sorai seemed still to wear an air of suppressed resentment but our military authorities see to it that they give efficient service to the buck privates and doughboys, who. after all. are distinguished bath guests of the German government which foots their bills. From the bath hotels your trail nat urally leads to the Kurhaus, with its reading and conversation rooms, its theater and concert hall and, above all. the springs that made Bad Neuen ahr famous. Here the signs of Amer lean military occupation are quite un mistakable, for certain heavy field mortars are drawn up in line In front of the Kurpark. while along the fa vorite walks of wealthy valetudina rians are picketed flocks of Missouri mules and long lines of artillery horses, mostly unappreciative of the Rhine land legends and scenery and all long ing to get home. Water Hardly Drinkable. You pick your way Judiciously through the park between the mules and horses and arrive at a large struc tural iron shed, with its front open and sides done in stained glass, mostly cracked or broken. Over the entrance arch stands the inscription in Latin. "For the Edification and Benefit of the Sick," while among the mules across the pathway is a granite monument surmounted by the bust of the discoverer of these alleged alkali sulphurous hot springs. Mules and M. P.'s permitting, you climb down Into the structural Iron shed or pavilion to drink the waters, if you dare. More sensible was the solitary artilleryman whom I found on the premises. He was squatting beside a spouting fountain labeled the "Vik toria Spring," and using its pleasantly hot alkali water, reinforced by a bar of American soap, to scour his spare shirt on top of a marble slab. On the same premises, you note the equally famous Augusta Spring, while In a marble ba sin on one side bubbles the so-called "Little SprudeL" I gathered that both men and mnles found these medical waters little to their taste, and after some initial ex periments now shied off from them. A tour of the principal hotels of Neuenahr showed that every man Jack of the garrison had drawn a bed: In many cases, the artillerists were billeted in expensive suites with private baths. In the garden of one hotel, the regimental band, was giving an afternoon concert and buck privates could be seen sitting on their private balconies with their feet on the rails, smoking and resting after their mid day "chow." It's a great life at Neuenahr, but after Its fighting record. It is gener ally agreed, the regiment is fully en titled to this break of luck. Portland Editor to Speak.

I couldn't eat the very lightest kind of food without suffer ing tortures for hours afterward. I could hardly eat enough to keep me alive, and I Just lived on milk, and occasionally an egg, all the time. It looked like everything that could pos sibly be done for a man was done for me. I was given the best medicine known In the treatment of cases like mine, but I gradually got worse all the time. Then, to make my condition worse, I was taken with rheumatism in my right arm, and the pain I suffered from this was almost enough to kill me. There were times when I couldn't raise my hand to my face. "I saw a good many statements in the papers about Tanlac and decided to give it a trial. Well. sir. It would just do my heart good if I could meet face to face everybody who suffers as I did and tell them about the good Tanlac has done me. I am as well and strong today as I ever was, and my appetite Is simply fine. I eat just anything I want and It doesn't hurt me a particle, and the war I have gained in weight and strength is noth ing short of a miracle. Why, I have actually gained sixteen pounds al ready, and the rheumatism has left me entirely, and I never miss a day from my work now.
