At Prescott we transferred to the
bohemian" smaller vessel that
could pass the rapids. 1t was most
comfortable, but must be staunch
and sturdy ship to stand the strain of
the succeeding rushes of water, the
Long Sault, the Coteau, the Cedar, the
Split Rock and the last and most ter
rife of all the Lachine rapids. Moth
ing can be said or written to exceed
the reality of these rapids. Almost
between walls of stone, barely cov-
cred with rushing water, with vast
masses of rock on every side, over
which the waters tumbled and dashed
with foam and spray thrown high,
the vessel was taken until it plunged
over what was nearly water fall,
while five strong men hung to the
wheel and every one inwardly prayed
the good ships harness might prove
fault!ess in it's strength and take us
safely through. Finally we swept
around the bend and the grand city
of Montreal, the commercial center OF
the Dominion, came in view. We left
the boat only regretful that we could
not again transfer to one of the boats
still larger than the ''Toronto" ard

Norway Bay, which, with the Lauren
tian mountains just back, rivals
scotland's highland beauties, and is
region renowned, too, for it's attrac-
tions of mountain lakes and streams.
And then Tadousac, another of the
continents famed summer resorts,
just at the mouth of the Saguenay, up
which the boats pass to Chicontimi,
I4.rc connections are made for the
Lake St. John region. 1t is a great
trip, this offered by the Richeleau 6:
Ontario Navigation Company, one that
for scenic grandeur certainly is un-
rivaled in any land.

remarkable about the atmosphere in
the Canadian lake region. In a few
hours it will cure any cold in the

vigor comes to the tired body and
brain, and the water, pure and wholly
free from alkali, has strong medicinal

That night, which was Saturday, we
were taken via Toronto to Thousand
Island Junction on the Grand Trunk
where, by courtesy of the Thousand
Islands Railway, short but very I'M
portant train link, we were landed at
Gananoque on the St. Lawrence. Here
we left our train with all heavy bag

were transferred to the care of the

this one of their regular stopping

Travelled over 5000 miles. From the
windows OF the rushing train they
saw as a continuous panorama the
southern parts of their own state, the
splendid states of Iowa, Illinois, indi-
ana, and Michigan before entering
Canada. Then passing through the
Port Huron tunnel under the St. Clair
river, remarkable example of en-
gineerng skill, we entered the coun-
try of our neighbors. Through much
of the best of Canada's farming coun-
try we went into the Muskoka lake
region, that glorious haven of the
sportsman and the pleasure seeker;
down the beautiful St. Lawrence,
through the Thousand Islands, to
Montreal and on to Quebec, the New

then to Ottawa, the seat of the Do

the engineering wonders of the land.
We were accompanied by many of the
roads officials, including Assistant
Engineer McNabb, who most enter
tainingly told of the bridge built in
the sos in the tubular form. It was
opened officially in 1860 by the Prince
of Wales, who drove the last rivet. It
was then a wonder. but the traffic
over it so Increased that it had to be
rebuilt in 1878. It was not closed
for minute, and so thorough was the
first structure that the old piers did
not have to be replaced, the super
structure alone being replaced by
open steel pans on which is a double
railroad track, and on either side, sep
arated from the railway tracks by
stone walls, is a roadway. There are
"a piers, and the bridge is $500 feet
in length. 1t is no wonder the Grand
Trunk is proud of their splendid
structure on which, in all, $9,OO0,OOO
has been expended. Little souvenir
books, picturing and explaining the
bridge and printed for the occasion,
were given each guest.
Again that night we took our train
and the Grand Trunk whirled us to

we were at the, Frontenac, as nothing

accompanied the party on the entire
trip. None but ladies were permitted
to contribute. On reaching St. Paul
handsome and commodious travel
ing bag with toilet utensils was pur-
chased and all of the party still in the
city gathered at the ladies' parlor at
the Windsor hotel at p. M, where
the gift was presented. Mr.. White
made handsome acknowledgment,
expressing his pleasure at the cordial
relations existing between the associ-

He not only proved most enter

editorial party long to thoroughly di-
gest.
For it the editorial thanks are due,
first, to the Grand Trunk Railroad,
whose officers made it possible. Never
in the history of the association has
such care and attention been extended
to it by any railroad. The editorial
train passed over part of all four of
its passenger divisions, and every
where the arrangements for handling
it were made with the thought only
of having every detail of the service
conduce to the pleasure of the excur-
sionists and their convenience. The
Grand Trunks passenger department
is both family and machine. There
is the strongest possible personal
fealty between the members of the
force, from the humblest clerk to the
head, of this branch of the service
Not only is there obedience to instruc-

O. n. Co., to whom we all were great
ly indebted for his kindly attentions
and care. The R. & 0. N. Co. is to
Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence
what the Grand Trunk is to eastern
Canada, and they make close mutual
connections at all the principal lake
and river points. From Niagara Falls,
Hamilton and Toronto at the end of
Lake Ontario, their lines of boats, that
in size and appointments rival ocean
vessels, reach every important town
and city on both the American and
Canadian sides, to the Saguenay river
and up that to Chicontimi. There
could be no more delightful trip than
all of this route or any part of it. The

WILL IT BECOME POPULARr
How Do You Like This New Fad2

Negetarlans, anti-coffee drinkers and
food cranks of every description must
now take back seat for new fad
has the floor.
A society has recently been formed
the members of which pledge themr
selves to eat no food whatver that has
been cooked. They claim that uncooked
food is the only rational healthful diet;
our remote ancestors ate no cooked
food and therefore If we do the same,
vlgor and health will be our reward.
Raw meat, raw potatoes, raw wheat,
raw eggs, raw everything, is the cntic-
ing bill of fare held out TO the enthus-
iastic food crank of the future and the
society proposes to establish restau-
rants in the larger cities where this de-
lightful menu may be served daily.
Modern cooking is often dyspepsia
producer, because we fry so many
foods which should be baked, roasted
broiled or boiled; fried food Is indigest-
ible because each particle of food is
lncased IN hot grease which the diges-
tive juices of the stomach can not cas-
lly penetrate; but properly cooked food
is more easily digested than the same
food uncooked, and we predict for the
new fad n very limited following.
, The real cause of indigestion Is the
lack of Hydrochloric acid and peptones
in the stomach so that no matter how
well cooked the food, it can not be
well dlgested unless the gastric Juice
Is abundant and contains the necessary
amount of peptones to dissolve the
food.
Therefore the most sensible cure for
poor digestion is to take after each
meal some safe and reliable digestive
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
supply peptones to digest the meat and
eggs and diastase to digest the bread,
potatoes and similar starchy foods.
Laxative medicines never cure indi-
gestion because they have no digestive
effect whatever upon the food; on the
other hand If the food is properly di.
gested there will be no need of laxa-
tives; good digestion does away with
constipation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
pure aseptic pepsin government tesO
diastase and the digestive elements
which weak stomacns lack and they
cure Indigestion by assisting the over.
worked, rundown stomach in its hard
work, until 1t is restored to its normal
condition, when the tablets are no
longer needed, but there are thousands
of robust men and women who never
ent meal without taking one or two
of Stuarts Tablets, because by so do
ing they can eat what they please and
when they please and be free from any
bad after effects.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by druggists every where in the Unit
ed States, Canada and Great Britain.
