CEDAR LAKE FRESH AIR CAMP.

Big Conference Grounds Many Joys for Little Falks of Congested Cities. The many changes wrought in the surroundings of Cedar Lake, that picturesque body of water in northern Indiana, have made it popular as a fresh air camp and playground for little folks, who accompny their parents to the big Bible conferences every summer or are sent there by philanthropic organizations. As a recreation place for little children the Chicago Chamber of Commerce has endorsed it heartily. Cedar Lake has proved a paradise to the kiddies of the city. It must be a real work of mercy to take them from their drear surroundings, give them a chance to romp on the grass, play In the sunshine and for once in their lives get all they want to eat. There are good times for the boys and girls on rainy days in the cozy playrooms of the new children’s building. It costs about $3 to pay a week’s outing for a child. The Cedar Lake Conference is planning to take a thousand children out of Chicago this, summer and give them the time ol their lives. The children’s building was erected at a cost of $2,500.
