It Is Impossible to put nut the rat and
lock the front door at 11 o'clock at
nl(tht and retire to undisturbed slumber.
These wise men have devised various
Improvements and conveniences and lu
iirtrs and Ingenuous devices to minister
to the pleasure and comfort of those who
are deprived temporarily of their per
manent abodes, who are slumbering; In
stranxe beds surrounded by strange as
sociations. The body machine under these circum
stances requires the greatest possible
conformity to the ordinarily accepted and
physiologically and psychologically cor
rect conditions which shall conduce to
slumber at the earliest possible moment

Scientists have demonstrated that Hirht
Is the enemy of sleep. The world pro
claims the truth of this tenet. Nearly
all animals sleep In the n1ht time and
so do the birds and fishes and Insects.
Man sloeps at night like the rest of
creation. His habits today are somewhat
modified from hos, of the cave man.

and awoke at dawn precisely as the sun

less of a nlKht animal. Home Irke to be
"members cf the midnight crew" and a-o
about the t'rwn with the boys until "all

also the privilege of the others to retire
to slumber when they please.
All of which Is a prefaoa to the state

ENTIRE HOTEL IS FIREPROOF
Ite-List-Nlght wants to go to bed he
can put his room Into perfect darkness
when he puts out the light In It. He
will not be disturbed by the vajrrant light
rays which formerly used to shine In from
tho ever wakeful hallway.
Llkewlso Jack-the-Peeper will be un
able to satisfy any prurient curiosity In
the Castle with Its wooden transoms pro
tecting guest from unwelcome Intru
sions. This small detail which may seem
a very large detail to any guest who
seeks privacy and slumber simply show
Fire and Flames and Conflagration
and Holocaust No Longer Are
to Be Feared.
GUESTS IN UTMOST SAFETY
Tlmegeire getting harder and harder for
fire and flames and their offspring,
conflagration and holocaust.
The new Hotel fastle simply marks
another hard obstscle placed In the way
'if those four once hated and feared
enemlos of mankind.
They amused themselves by burning
down hotels and other buildings Inhabited,
by human beings and burning up the
human beings with them.
Rut their day Is rapidly passing.
The Hotel Castle Is absolutely fire
proof. From basement to proof there is hardly
a splinter In the construction that ca?i
be consumed by fire.
The doors of the rooms are about the
only Inflamable things, the rest being
concrete and marble. From the second
floor to the top of the building they are
Iron.
Hven the window sashes are pressed
steel. And all glass Is wire glass.
Tea, It la a discouraging outlook for
old Conflagration. It can never hope to
get Into this hotel.
"Safety first" to the watchword of the
Castle, officially adopted, signed and
sealed.
The biggest step toward hotel safety
Is hotel flreproofness.
The Castle's watchword Is more than a
mere watchword. It Is a concrete fact
It Is a "concrete" fact In two senses
of that word. It to also a brick fact, a
marble fsct, an Iron stairway fact. In
the whole building.
What Is a poor, hard working flame
to do with such discouragement? In
the old times It used to be able to give
an account of Itself almost every day.
It was a hard week, Inleed that It
could not point to some hotel destroyed
probably In the dead of night when the
guests w-ere In their beds and were
burned like rats without any chance to
get out.
Hut what can It do with a hotel like
tho castle?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It la
useless to try. You run no danger of
burning tho building down.
The walls are all brick and hollow tile.
The floors are concrete.
The stairways from the basement to
the second floor are pressed steel window
sash fact, a wire glass fact.

Csstle hotel?
ManHger Castle believes he has a
"world-beater'' in price
He exhibited a Mg front room with
private bath and beautiful furniture.
"Two dollars " he said. "Can you beat
It?"
He shewed one slightly smaller, also
with private hath.
"One seventy-five," he declared. "Ain't
It a dandy."
Another sire smaller and also with
private bath.
"One fifty. Won't they go for 'em?"
Then he showed a room with private
bath, but facing on the court Instead cf
tho direct open air. This Is .X.
There are l.'o rooms altogether In tho
hotel. Of these 1 have private baths
and the rest have private toilet and h"t
and cold running water.
The whole hotel is lighted by electricity
and there is a telephone in every room.
There arc five bedroom floors. The
rooms are arranged In tiers, a room on
the second floor being exactly like tho
rooms directly over It on the third,
fourth, fifth and sixth floors.
