has been provided on which the time
of arrival of all incoming trains will
be posted, while glass -covered bulle-

special announcements and posters.
On the right hand side of the con -

• N., . ..x
while at each end is a handsome
faience dial clock. Comfortable seats
have been provided, as the concourse
serves also as the main waiting room
of the station. The men's smoking

the North or far end of the concourse
wing. The women's rest room is at-
tractively furnished with rugs, table,
chairs, and couch, and is conveniently

Company's offices and a museum in
which an interesting and instructive
exhibit of Canada's natural resources
will be open to the public. The office
corridors and museum surround the
ticket lobby and are separated there-
from by open arches and oalustrades
which afford a splendid view of the
lobby as well as provide an abundance
of light and air. Rooms for the con-
ductors and trainmen with stairway
direct from the midway are also pro-
vided on this floor. The decorative
scheme of the interior is simple and

ed by a glass and iron milrquise the

main entrance is a large window,
above which is an illuminated clock
with a seventy-two inch dial, which
'forms one of the principal features
of the facade. The pediment over the
clock bears the arms of the City of
Quebec. a
window over the main entrance,
which helps to light the ticket lobby
contains the arms of the seven great
men of Canadian history, viz.:—Mont-
magny, the first Governor of Canada
—1636-1647; DeTracy, Viceroy of Can-
ada -1665; Beauharnois, Governor of
Canada —1726-1747 ; Montcalm and
Wolfe, the famous French and English
generals whose names are familiar to
all; Frontenac, Governor of Canada -
1672; and Talon, the first Intendant
of Now France -1665-16
The building was designed by H.
E. Pringle, architect, of Montreal, and
erected by the Downing Cook Com-
pany of Montreal, under the super-
vision of D. H. Mapes, Engineer of
Buildings of the C.P.R. In the con-
struction of the building, which rests
on 430 concrete piles, 400 tons of
structural steel, 2,000 yards of re-
inforced concrete, 400,000 common
brick, 75,000 exterior face brick, 125,-
000 interior face brick, and 10,000 cu-
bic feet of exterior cut -stone, were
used. Local labor and materials have
been employed wherever possible;
the concrete pile foundations •were
driven by the McArthur Pedestal Pile
Company; the structural work was
furnished and erected by the Eastern
Canada Steel Company; the exterior
face brick were made by the Citadel
Brick Company; the granite came
from the Argenteuil quarries and the.
limestone from the Deschambault,
quarries. The interior marble and{
terrazzo work was done by 4the
Mississquoi Marble Co.; the orna-
mental iron by the Dominion Archi-
tectural Iron Works. The plumbing
and ;seating were installed by Vandry
and Matte, the electrical work by the
L. K. Comstock Company, and the
clocks by the Self Winding Clock
Company. The woodwork throughout,
of which, however, there is but lit-
tle, is Canadian birch, the railway
company having recently adopted the
policy of using Canadian woods ex-
clusively for the finish of its build-
ings and cars. While the Station is
the dominating feature of the improve-
ments made by the Canadian Pacific,
notice should be taken of the new
freight office building and sheds con-
structed north of the station last year,
the new power house located just
west of the station and the re -arrange-
ment of the yard, and all of which
has been done on the same compre-
hensive scale as, and in keeping with,
the station building. Quebec can well
be proud of its new station, which in
design, finish and appointments is
•
second to none in Canada. -M
trance is a series of seven doors open-
ing into the concourse.
The concourse, 125 ft. long x 62 ft.
wide. and 40 ft. high, is similarly fin-
ished with grey brick walls, with fai-
ence inserts, marble wainscot, faience
cornices and tinted ceiling, while the
huge iron trusses, elliptical in form,
which support the roof, spring from
ornamental faience cartouches. On
the left side of the concourse three
sets of gates open to the midway and
track platforms. On either side of
each gateway is a mechanical incat-
or, which shows the track number,

A Sluggish Liver
CAUSES LOTS
OF TROD'=.LE.,
Unless the liver is working properly
you may look forward to a great many
troubles arising, such as constipation,
severe headaches, bilious headaches, sick
headaches, jaundice,. sick stomach, etc.
Mrs. J. Shellsworth, 227 Albemarle
St., Halifax, N,S., writes: "I take
pleasure 'in writing you concerning the
great value I have received by using your
Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills for a sluggish
liver. When my liver got bad I would
have severe headaches, but after using 'i
couple of vials of your pills I have not
been bothered with the headaches any
more."
Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are, with -
rat a doubt, the best liver regulator on
the market to -day. Twenty -Ave years of
a reputation should surely prove this.
Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are 25 cents
nor vial, 5 vials for 81,00; for sale at all
dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of

Mediterranean Blue.
The extraordinary blueness ,of the
Mediterranean has two causes. One is
that very few large rivers of fresh
water run into this sea; the second
that the Mediterranean is practically
landlocked and, being exposed to a
powerful sun, evaporation is great. By
actual test the waters of the Mediter-
ranean are heavier and more salt than
those of the Atlantic.
KEEP RECORDS ON YOUR FARM
The easiest, quickest, and best way
of doing things is sometimes the way
which is hardest.
The baseball pitcher comes off the
diamond wringing wet with sweat. He
works hard, but that was the easiest,
the best, and the quickest way for him
to win.
You get pneumonia. The doctor
says, "Take quinine." You hold up
your hands in holy horror at the
thought of its taste. You say, "No,
give me a lump of sugar, or a bottle
of pop—something ea9y to take." Do
the latter and you may be across the
River Jordan before you know it; do
the former and you will be back at
work again in a few days. The way
was hard, but it was the best, the
quickest, and the easiest way to get
well.
Someone asks you if you keep re-
cords on your farm. You give him to
understand that you haven't time for
such foolishness. Too much work!
Too busy for that! Remember, that
may be' the easiest, the quickest and
best way to your success. Business
men have sometimes increased their
profits as much as 300 per cent. by
knowing what they were doing.
What does it cost you to grow a
bushel of oats or a ton of hay? Are

better feed it to live stock? Keep
some records. If you find this to be
true, feed your neighbour's hay and
make a profit on two crops instead of
one. That is business.
Some methods of farm bookkeeping
are easier than others. Get a good
method and enjoy keeping records.

He Was Always Tired and Nervous and Had Pains in Feel
and Legs—Dr. Chase's Nerve Food Cured.
The heart is a wonderful worker. nerves are soon restored and bodily
plodding away year in and year out,
forever pumping the blood through
the boy. So long as the blood is rich
and nourishing it renews its own
waste and keeps up a vigorous circu-
lation of the blood through the arter-
ies and veins of the human system.
But when the blood gots thin the
nerves are starved, tnotive power IS
lacking, the heart's action weakens
and the circulation is slow. The
hand:; and feet feel cold, there are
cramps at:d +rains in the legs and
through the body, digestion fails, you
become nervous and irritable, and do
not rest or sleep well.
This Ietter will give you some Idea
how admirably Dr. Chases Nerve
food Is suited to overeoine derange-
ments of this nature. It is, above all,
n creator of new, rich blood. and with
the blood in good cond.don the
organs resume their natural !Unc-
tions.

band had tried almost every remedy

LITTLE THINGS
The Expert Witness.
Mr. Justice Scrutton's criticism of
handwriting experts in a recent case
recalls a story of Hawldns cross exam-
ining an expert. He handed the man
three sheets of paper on which were
three signatures. "Were these written
by the same man and at the same
time?" he asked. "Certainly not," the
witness declared. "Odd," said Haw-
kins, "for I wrote them myself at this
desk with this pen and not half as
hour ago."—London Standard.
Honest.
"Why did yon give up your last po-
sition?"
"I didn't give it up, sir. I was
tired."
"Oh, in that case take off your hat
and coat and go to work. We can use
a man as honest as you."•
A good-bye kiss is a little thing,
With your hand on the door to go,
But it takes the venom out of the
sting
Of a thoughtless word or a cruel fling
That you made an hour ago.
A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare
After the toil of the day,
And it smooths the furrow ploughed
by care,
The lines on the forehead you once
called fair,
In the years that have flown away.
'Tis a little thing to say, "You are
kind;
I love you, my dear," each night,
But it sends a thrill through the heart,
I find—
For love is tender, as love is blind—
As we climb life's rugged height.
We starve each other for love's caress,
We take, but we do not give:
It seems so easy some soul to bless,
But we dole the love grudgingly, less
and less,
Till 'tis bitter and hard to live.
