CALL OF THE NORTH WOODS
The Adnondacks Restore Health and Vgor Thousands of
Visitors Every Summer.

The lover of the forest of simplicity
that may still be enjoyed in comfort, OF
roushing it without the toughest OF
edges, Will find just what he is looking
/ for in the Adirondacks Indescribably
bracing is the air. full of never ceasing
| delight is the scenery. Mountain and
/ forest, stream and lake. have been put
within the reach of those tired out by
months of business activity and in the
wonderful woods there is to be found
every attraction that a summer resort
can offer
! The whole region is covered by the
northern forest. SO much of it is parked
! land, set off either by the state or by
private ownership, that the lumberman
can never ruin the beauties of the do
main. It is q public heritage. saved in
time from the sawmill and the plough
set apart to form a great storehouse OF
! fresh air. of natural medicine, of zest in
/ life
! The land, much of il, is free Private
rights are not often insisted upon if the
/ tramper behaves himself. He must stick
to the rules Hunting and fishing out OF
season are taboo. Playing with fire is a
practice sternly froWned upon. If the
visitor is there for sport he must be a
sportsman. He must not use dogs TO
| hunt his deer. He must live up to the
canons of fair play, but these are rules
that should deter no one really fond OF
the great life that lies out of doors.
The Adirondacks are not hard to reach.
No great vacation country. no summer
playground. IS easier Of access. one
may go TO sleep in New York on the
hottest night Of summer and awake in
the morning as the train is climbing up
into the woods TO draw a blanket up in
the berth to make comfortable the last
nap before the final station is reached.
Easy Climbing Is the Rule.
The Adirondacks, high as they are.
present no great feats Of mountain
climbing, because the whole country is
high and single peaks do not stand out
much. The lover of the strenuous can
get all the activity his soul Graves for.
He can go on long tramps over the beau
tifll wood trails, with a camp fire and
a supper cooked by himself to break the
trip before he starts back to his own
Camp or hotel, taking a different route,
perhaps.
AT most of the summer settlements
that thickly dot the woods there is a
chance for exercise of a different sort
on cultivated land. There are several
good golf courses, and excellent lawn
...;- courts a bound But golf and ten
mis- are not as necessary for diversion in
the woods as in other places less di-
verse in their interests There is no
vacation territory in the world that has
so many natural attractions The
u,aters the lakes and little streams, are
nm of fish in the season, and some Of
tho finest trout in the world ave t. be
caught in these rushing forest brooks.
m. fish are not as a rule, very large.
h,t the angler can get all the sport he
.,.s and those who have the eating
