The Exeter Times, 1920-3-11, Page 7WINTER . SPORTS OF OLD QUEBEC 'WEN FROST REIGNS AT T 41/HISTORIC CITADEL Dufferin Terrace Toboggan. Slide is a Brilliant Spectacle These Nights. Quebec le beautiful both in winter and summer, but possibly its cham. is greatest when King Winter has spread hie ermine over the historic heights, and the Citadel and when the great ice fleets flow and ebb each day in the majestic St.. Lawrence. For a month Quebec hoe been re- veling in winter sports', of all kinde. The old city has real winter weather, with dry, hard snow, On Saturdays "and Sundays particularly thousands of its citizens don their skis' or snow- shoes, and take long trips through the picturesque country or throng the great toboggan slide oai Dtrfferin 'Ter- race. Here they enjoy the wild rush from the top of the slide, near tb.e king's bastion of the famous bid fort which Montgomery and Arnold vainly endeavored to capture away back in 1775. Although the Norwegian std has be- come very popular in Canada during the Last few years, the snowshoe still `)Albers its. devotees by thousands, The American' ` Indian is generally credited with having devised the snow- shoe; the. early French Canadians. were not slow in adopting it as a means of crossing wide stretches of. deep snow, and their numerous des- cendants in Quebec are experts in its use to -day. Two Thousand Snowshoers, One of the most flourishing organi- • eatlons in, Quebec devoted to winter sports is the Union Canadieune dos Racquetteurs, which was a conspicu- ous feature of the. great "parade through the city on February 14, when. two thousand snowshoers weroan line, and of the church parade 'February 15. The sport loving people of Quebec; like those of other cities, have their work to do,ea,ch day, and such big snowshoe parades as that of February 14 are staged at night. On this oc- casion an army of satowshoers formed In line at the drill hall and, drestssd in their ni _huresque costumes, paraded through , •ate, principal streets. One of tate favorite resorts is the Dufferin Terrace togoggan slide. The big slid' is a beautiful spectacle at night" n it is thronged with pie- , ture. 11queYiy`cios�tun2ed tobogganists of aeatett. sexes and when the brilliant lights are reflected from snow and ice, The fotal length of the slide from high up on the shoulder of the Citadel to the snow embankment terminus near the Chateau is a quarter of a mile. There are three tracks, be- tween which are partitions of ice six. inches high, so that no [natter if the tobogganist does the quarter of a mile in twenty seconds there is no danger of collision or of being thrown out of the particular groove in which he is sliding. Every day eighteen barrels of Water ,are sprinkled upon the tracks, so that each one is a glare of• ice, and very swift. The toboggans line up three abreast at the top of the slide, where they are held by steel triggers. When all are ready the triggers are released, and down the eteep descent the three toboggans rush at -forty miles an hour. !dear Place For Skiing, Because of its hilly character Que- bec is an ideal place for ski running and jumping. The glacis of the old Citadel is high and steep, and_on Sat- urday afternoons and Sundays w is a favorite rendezvous for lovers of this thzatlling sport. The pretty, red-cheeked .Pt, ach-Canadian girls are clever and daring skiers, Four of them abreast, holding hands and looking like colored paper dolls against the white snow, glide down the long slope of the glacis at high speed without mishap.. Now and then they get tangled up at the bottom of the slope and tumble in a heap, but this only adds th the fun. The only really difficult thing about skiing is getting up after a spill into the deep snow, for skis are very long and unwieldy, and in .the language of the old song When you're up you're., up, ,A.nd when you're down, you're down, &[tit when you're only half -way. up °t'ou'rs neither up nor down! Envied by all the other entaus[asts pare the ski junipers, 'who make long ,and hazardous flights through the air from some high take -off and even loop the loop on sone slide particularly iltt6d "for this thrilling performance. .

The influenza convalescent who has apparently recovered from the disease and is yet •in a strangely weak and de- presse l condition should be the object et particular care, according to Dr. Louis, 1, Barris, director of the Bureau of Preventable .Diseases of the New York Health Department. In the opinion of Dr. Harris the after care. of the influenza patient is most tm- portant. The co-operation of the pa- tient, coupled with the willingness to see that the weakness and depression are a part of the nines's, though cfoi - ing after the disease itself has spent its force, is a big factor- In effecting, a complete return to full health. On the. other hand, the determination to ig- nore this debilitated condition and to fight against it, will, Dr. Harris says, frequently bring serious consequences upon the patient. After Effects Bad. "The subject of the after effebts of influenza," said Dr. Harris, "is one of Particular interest to "the scientist at the present time, "First, and perhaps the most "no tnentous condition to be considered i the striking depression, mental, ner. taus, and physical, complained of b most patients Those attacked by th disease with moderate severity are al moot' . always afflicted with this de pression, which should be recognize and dealt with. Those. who have ha mild cases of the epidemic are little affected by depression, and their quick return to health and strength gives rise to the belief that influenza is trivial. On. the contrary, influenza in its after effects is anything 'but tri- vial, and cails for the application of rules of common sense and sanitation which are the fruit of years of ex- perience, ""Tonic treatment, well chosen diet, and great ,care in not becoming over- tired or allowing the body tp be chilled are necessary. Eggs may be eaten,• but not more than two a day, for the average adult: Of course, it must be remembered that in many' cases this disease tends to direct its force against the kidneys, and therefore we instruct patients to avoid eating a great amount of meat, eggs, or beef extracts. Eggs, soboiled, poached, or beaten, raw," are advisable in limit- ed nulnber. The raw eggs should al- ways bo well agitated before taking. • When Good Food is Bad. Fate of $ea Cows. Tho last Aretio "sea` cow'" was seen in 1854 --about a century after the Are, didcovery. of the spates by white Men, Merl full grown, the creature weighed as numb as 8,000 pounds. These animals frequentedshallows at the mouths of rivers in herds; and while feeding they drove before them. their young, to protect the latter from danger. So tame were they that one could stroke their backs without any objection on their part, Unfortunately, their desh was good to eat, resenibling beef.. 'GViialel's got in the way of depending upon them for stores of fresh Meat; and so, in the natural. course of events, they users wiped out. Gesture of the Tongue.The tongue hasp a single gesture, and everybody knows what it means, It is thrust out to express contempt. The Little girl who "sticks out her tongue" does not realize that her ac- tion, so unladylike, harks back to the prehistoric, It. is undoubtedly a most ancient mode of conveying the idea of inteneifled disrespect. Everywhere in the world, among savage and civilized peoples,, the lingual gesuro has the same recognized significance. it Touched Her Hear -t. . Naturally, when Ethel' went 'on a first visit to some distant cousins in s the country, she didn't want to die- - play her lack of knowledge of country Y Rte. So she asked questions which e she -thought "knowing,'" put which - nearly made her hosts laugh out loud. One evening, just at dusk, as' Ethel d stood at the open door of the farm - d •house talking to, one of the sons of the family, there came to thein. the Law mournful note of a cow. "rust listen to that poor cow," afgh- ed Ethel; tenderly, "mewing for her lost colts" MONEY. ORDERS. A Dominion Express Money Order for five dollars costs three cents. "With milk and eggs as a founda- tion the patient should eat good nour- ishing food, including meat; fish; and vegetables, simply. prepared.:' Frying, for instance, is 'out. of the question. Good -food •prepared in an unassimil- able manner becomes had food; es- pecially is this• to be noted in cases of convalescence from influenza, -for the disease often manifests itself in vomiting, -and in intestinal and gas- tric disturbances, and it is 'important not to weaken the digestive function by the eating of poorly prepared food, or even the hest of food in ill-advised quantities. The quantitative distribu- tion of foodstuffs should be so adjust- ed as not to overtax the stomach, but the patient should eat generously and frequently." ' As a tonic to build up the blood and stimulate the shattered nerves, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are unsurpassed, These pills actually :make new, rich,' red blood, which reaches every organ and every nerve in the body, improves the appetite, strengthens digestion and. drives away 'the feeling of weariness and depression _always following an attack of la grippe or influenza: Those who give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial will be amply repaid by the new health and strength this tonic medicine always gives. • Inntimation. • Here where the sunlight makes more strangely fair The little street, each steeple where it stands, Something like spring is blowing down the air, Touching the town with dear, trans- forming hands, • Half shy and hesitant, a something stays Ono trembling instant, where the sun is. sweet, A quickening preemie° on these win- ter ways, Haunting and swift—and. gone on shining feet.
