some reason. But To those whose lives are
cramped or crowded into narrow
quarters, back rooms over stores,
dark and, oftentimes, unhealthy tenement
houses, there must be some resort
furnished them where they can, now and
then, get a breath of fresh air and 4 free
and health renewing sun bath.
And then there is the tired brain and
body OF the merchant, the lawyer, the doc
tor. the clerk, the mechanic and the house
wife. which must be relieved of the con-
slant strain put upon them or they will
soon rest I'm a premature grave. These re-
sorts, sprInging up all around the suburbs
of the cities ol the land, are evangels of
