ALGONQUIN PARK The Highway to Health and Happiness No better place could be devised for a real holiday for red-blooded men and women than Algonquin Park, situated about two hundred miles north of the city of Toronto. It is an unspoiled territory of nearly two million acres, starred with beautiful lakes and intersected by winding streams. No reserve in Canada can aii]'roach it in the wealth of attractions it offers to the lover of out-of-doors. Away up in the Highlands of Ontario, two thousand feet above the level of the sea, the Park is a wonderful spot in which to renew the energies of a tired body or refresh a wearied spirit. Its tonic air filters through hundreds cf square miles of pine, balsam and spruce; the days are unusually long with bright sunshine, while the cool evenings are a time of enchantment. The Park is a paradise for the fisherman and canoeist; the excellence of its sport draws _ anglers from every part of the Dominion and every state in the Union, while the canoeist ean travel ior hundreds of miles in his light craft and be in a veritable kingdom of his own. The accomodation in the park is such that the most varied tastes can be pleased. There are hotels for those who want to be in the wilderness--yet enjoy all the comforts that good service and social companionship can bring; there are groups of log cabin camps, comfortably furnished and ideal for family part-ies, with central lodges containing recreation and dining rooms where you may dine and find everything ready for you on your return from the tramp; or if you have planned to camp under your own canvas you may step into a canoe at one of the little railway stations, and after a short paddle find a site unmarred by the hand of man yet within easy reach of the Park outfitting stores. Many families now go into the Park expressly for the earn ping, making their headquarters at the hotels long enough to get supplies and camping outfit ready for the trip. Then in canoes, aud with guides or without liiem, they launch out into the deep wootls, camping where fancy prompts. A handsome illustrated publication leiilii* you ah about this famous park is issued by the Grand Trunk Railway and a copy can be had free on application to C. K. Horning. I'nion Station, Toronto.
