WORLD'S LARGEST RAILROAD STATION New York Central Depot in New York Almost Ready to Be Used.

(National News Association) NEW YORK, Dec. 20. The new Grand Central Terminal, which, in a few weeks, will take the place of the old Grand Central station of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad, is nearly completed and may be considered In the nature of a magnificent and princely holiday gift to the city. When fully completed the station, with the additional improvements in the form of office buildings, hotels, 'etc., will represent a cost of $180,000,000. It will be by far the largest railroad terminal station in the world and will be able to accommodate without congestion 70,000 outgoing passengers per hour. I The gigantic work now almost com-

Benefited Many Who Had Lung Trouble Those who suffer from Consumption are generally troubled with night sweats, fever, loss of strength and little or no appetite. Fresh air, good food and the proper care of the body are essential to a recovery, but in many cases something more is needed. Eckman's Alterative is a medicine which has been most successful in stopping night sweats, reducing fever and promoting appetite and many who have used it, declare it saved their lives. Investigate what it did in this case: "Gentlemen: For four years I was troubled with cough, which gradually became worse. 1 had night sweats and pains in my chest. I was losing my appetite and had become so thin and weak I could not attend to my household duties. A physician pronounced my case Consumption. Not being satisfied, I was examined by the physicians of the Polyclinic Hospital. They also pronounced the disease Consumption, which was proven later by an examination of sputum, as Tuberculosis Bacilli were found. I was ordered to a Consumptive Hospital. My nephew would not allow me to go until 1 had tried Eckman's Alterative. Before I had taken the medicine three weeks, I had marked relief, night sweats ceased, pain in the breast relieved, cough became loose and easy, fever left me and I commenced getting well. My health became normal. I am In excellent health now and have been completely cured for ten years. I strongly recommend it." (MRS.) MARY WASSON. Care Ed. Green, 1722 S. 17th St. Phila., Pa. Eckman's Alterative is effective in Bronchitis, Asthma, Hay Fever; Throat and Lung Troubles and in upbuilding the system. Does not contain poisons, opiates or habit-forming drugs. For sale by leading druggists. Ask for booklet telling of remarkable recoveries and write to Eckman Laboratory, Philadelphia, Pa., for additional evidence. (Advertisement)

pleted was begun in the Spring of last year and constitutes a remarkable triumph of engineering skill and enterprise. It would have been a comparatively simple matter to tear down the old terminal station and the buildings connected with it and to erect on the same site the new terminal with all its magnificent concomitants in the form of sky-scraper hotels, office buildings, etc., had it not been imperative to do the work without interruption of or interference with the traffic of the railway. To replace the antiquated

structure with a new one, however, without the slightest interference with the enormous traffic everlastingly going on at this terminal required engineering skill and ingenuity of the highest order. The completion of such a tremendous task under the given conditions would .probably have been considered impossible anywhere else. The preliminary work was begun several years ago, when part of the passenger traffic was transferred to a temporary station on Lexington avenue. Then several of the auxiliary buildings and the office building on Forty-second street were built and the Grand Central Palace building, north of tho Terminal, begun about three years ago, was completed. The work on the terminal proper was not begun until the Spring of last year, when the old terminal was torn down to make room for the new structure, now almost completed. In its outward appearance it is an imposing structure.

facing Forty-second street and resembling more a public museum or library building than a railroad terminal in its architectural beauty and magnificent proportions. The terminal building is located on the North side of Forty-second street, between Vanderbilt Avenue and Depew Place, rests upon a terrace elevated above the level of the street and its main floor is reached from the street by means of numerous inclined planes. The structure, above the ground, has a length of 600 feet, a width of ."00 feet and rises to a height of 105 feet. But only a small part of the entire terminal structure is above ground. By far the largest part of the terminal is underground, distributed over seen different levels, the lowest at a depth of more than fifty feet below the street level. The old terminal with its office buildings?, sheds, etc., covered an area

of 23 acres, while the new terminal with its additional improvements will cover seventy-nine acres with a trackage of seventy acres. For the construction of the building and substructure, 118,600 tons of steel and more than 050,000 cubic yards of concrete were required. The terminal building was planned with a view of facilitating as much as possible the tremendous passenger traffic going on there at all seasons of the year. V.'ith that object in view the express train service and the suburban train service were placed upon different levels, with separate waiting rooms, each large enough to accommodate from 8,000 to 15,000 persons at one time. The tracks are located on levels below the levels of the waiting rooms and are reached by 3 to 4 per cent, inclines. Steps are avoided in every part of the terminal which is used by the traveling public find this constitutes a remarkable feature of the new building. Below the general concourse, which is upon
