"On ringing steel we rush or wildly
wheel.
And who can tell. Oh. who can tell the
joy we feel?”
—From "The Skaters’ Song."*
When King Winter holds both town
and country in his frosty embrace
the lover of the great outdoors must
find some outlet for his energy
What could be more fitting than a
trip to Quebec, the historic Ancient
Capital, where skating, skiing, snow
shoeing and tobogganing are at their
very best from Christmas until well
into March? No city in the wide
world is more Ideally situated than
Quebec: no city possesses hpr nat
ural advantages lor winter sports
Beautiful In summer, In winter she
Is dazzling! With countless hills serv
ing as toboggan slides, with skating
rinks and gentle slopes for skiing;
gleaming roads and glistening snow
fields, the city Itself seems fashioned
oy nature for winter play and spec
tacle. From far and near, winter
sports enthusiasts gather at the Cha
teau Frontenac, Quebec’s medieval
hostelry, there to participate In all
the glorious winter pastimes for
which Quebec is known the world
over. Descending frem the shoulder
of the Citadel to DuiTerln Terrace Is
the famous Quebec toboggan slide,
which runs the length of Dufierm
Terrace and past the Chateau. A*,
night the slide is decorated w.ui
i multi-colored lights, and the breath
taking descent from the Citadel to
the protective bunker beyond the
Chateau is an experience never to be
forgotten.
One of the great attractions dur
ing Quebec’s winter season is the
International Dog-Sled Derby, a clas
sic of the snows usually held late in
February. Well known ‘•mushers•,
and their teams of "huskies” gather
from all parts of the United States
and Canada to take part in this race
which is one of the best means of
ascertaining Just what breed cf dog
Is most suited to stand the gruelling
hardships of running mall and sup
plies to Isolated lumber camps and
trading poets.

then his first request—
a (Carbonated
CD rink
The illustration shows how the news camera caught Lou Meyer, the
noted racing driver, at the finish of the International Sweepstakes at
the Altoona, Pa. speedway. His first impulse was to call for a Carbon
ated Bottled Drink because it not only quenches but refreshes and
"picks up" exhausted nerves and body.
v v
Whenever you feel fatigued—at 3 P- M., or at the
end of a hard day’s work—you can t find a better,
quicker “pick-up" than a Carbonated Bottled Drink.
Scientists and physicians will tell you that the
organs of circulation and digestion, as well as the
whole nervous system, are invigorated by carbonic
fas. Nature provides it in Mother s milk as a mild
igestant and body stimulant for the nursing babe.
It's Carbonic Gas that gives Carbonated Beverages
the life, snap, and sparkle that make them so
delicious and refreshing. And its germicidal action
helps purify the drink.
During cold weather, when vitality is a.pt to be
low and the blood stream thick and sluggish,^Car
bonated Beverages are especially beneficial. 3 ou II
find it an excellent health idea to have a case of
your favorite flavors always on hand at home.
