VACATION DAVS. In the Lake Regioos of Wisconsin, Northern Michigan, Minnesota, lowa and South Dakota, along the lines of the Chicago, Wilwaukee & St. Paul Railway, are hundreds of charming localities preeminently fitted for summer homes, nearly all of which are located on or near lakes which have not been fished out. These resorts range in variety from the “full dress for dinner” to the flannel shirt costum for every meal. Among the list are names familiar to many of our readers as the perfection of Northern summer resorts. Nearly all of the Wisconsin points of interest are within a short distance from Chicago or Milwaukee, and none of them are so far away from the “busy marts of civilization” that they cannot be reached in a tew hours of travel, by frequent trains, over the finest road in the Northwest—the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. Send a two cent stamp for a copy of ‘•Vacation Days” giving a description of the principal resorts, and a list of summer hotels and boarding houses, and rates for board, to Geo. H. Heafford, General Passenger Agent, Chicago, 111. To Cure Constipation Forever. Take Cascarets Candy Cathartic. 10c or 25c. If C. C. C. fail to cure, druggists refund money.
