The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
in the heart of the Sierras, almost at
the foot of Mount Shasta. and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery

The Tavern of Castle Crag. with its
splendid environment. it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
sumemr resort for health, recreation.
outdoor sports. sympathy with nature
and informal socia bility. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
of invitation extended, the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial Journalism, and to realize this orig
1nal conception, the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively a family resort; and
especially attractive to those to whom
health, recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.

rate of S6o person; and rooms on the
third floor with board at a monthly
rate of $50 person.

parlors and halls are elegant and spac-
ious. Its verandas are cool and invit-
ing, placing the guest always in the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
balcony of any tavern in the world.
The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting, fishing, riding b-
cycling, walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads. The
Tavern is located Immediately on the
main trunk line of the California &.
Oregon Railroad and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours

ing early the following morning for

train time affords equal accommoda-
tion Thus both in going and in COM
ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy of his time have been
studied. In brief, the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to it's guests the perfect
ideal of that spring time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer. and is the COM
Portable home of pleasing recreation
and reStful repose.

HE COULDN'T SWIM.
But He Kept Hold Of the Anvil When He
Went Down.

They were talking about swimming at
the city hall the other day, and among
those engaged in the discussion was jim
Springman the well known deputy mar
shall. Springman has charge of the cage
at the city hall where the prisoners are de-
tanned before being taken into court, and
also has charge of their transportation to
and from the jail. He is a man of many
stirring adventures and of remarkable
physical powers. Therefore his remark
that he cannot swim his own length was
heard with not little astonishment
"But although / can't swim I've been
overheard several times" explained
Springman, "and have yet to be drowned.
"Howeyer, 1 came pretty near it one time
during the war, when l was employed as

EDGE ON FOOD AND DIGESTION.

The real cause OF most of our diseases Is
simply an inability to digest food. This
induces thinness, weakness, loss Of flesh
and tat, loss of vitality, wasting away.
Loss OF flesh and vitality means constant
liability to sickness. Wasting away Is
consumption.
IL getting thin is what ails you, there Is
only one thing to do-get fat. The only
way to do IL Is to take something which
will help your stomach and stimulate II to
do its work.
II you are tired out you do not like to
move your legs or arms. III your stomach
is tired 1t does not like to digest; it cannot
do its wosk.
MTo eat, or even to eat with relish does
not necessarily mean that enc IN being
nourished. Strength, vitality and flesh
are the true indications.
Getting thin Is a sign that you need the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. You would not
be getting thin II you could digest your
food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only
contains artifcially digested food, but II
will digest other foods In the stomach.

A Wonderful Faculty of the Triton.

The triton, a spotted, lizardlike reptile
found in almost every state in the Union,
has most wonderful power of reproduc-
ing amputated parts. Bonnot, the great
French naturalist; experimental on the
little creatures by amputating their legs
and tails and by SO doing found that their
powers of reproduction were almost un-
limited. In one instance an amputatcd leg
was reproduced IL times in three years,
and in another an eye was gouged out and
reproduced in less than IL months. The
loss of a tail does not appear to discom-
mode triton, except to give him u sort OF
unbalanced gait Tails clipped from the
specimens Bonnot kept to experiment on
were invariably reproduced in from five to
nine weeks.-St. Louis Republic.
