RHEUMATIC PAINS |A DANISH COLONY HAVE DISAPPEARED IN WESTERN CANADA 'As a Result of Treating the Trouble Through the Blood. The chief symptom of rheumatism Is pain. The most successful treatment Is -the one that most quickly relieves and banishes the pain. Many rheu- matic people suffer pains that coukl be avoided by building up the blood; when rheumatism Is associated with thin blood It cannot be corrected until the blood Is built up. Mr. Ed. Hall, Main-a-Dieu. N.S., suf- fered from rheumatism for years, but was more fortunate than many vic- tims of the disease for he found a remedy that so built up his entire sys- tem that he Is now free from rheu- matism. Mr. Hall says: "I was taken down with rheumatism, and at times was under the treatment of several of the best docnti* In Cape Breton, but they held out no hope for my re- covery from the trouble. I was con- fined to bed for three years and a help- . less cripple from the trouble. I could not move, and had to be turned in sheets. My legs and fingers were drawn out of shape, and sores devel- oped on my body aa the result of my long confinement In bed. I was in this serious condition when a friend ad- vised the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I began taking them. The first benefit I felt from the pills was an Improved appetite, and then I be- gan to feel stronger, and was finally able to get out of bed and go about on crutches. I continued taking the pills for months, slowly but surely getting new strength, and finally I was able to lay the crutches aside. I will always be lame, as the result of my long stay In bed my left leg has shortened somewhat, but otherwise I am feeling fine and able to do my work as Fishery Overseer. I may add that when the rheumatism came on I weighed 140 pounds, and when I be- gan going about on crutches I only weighed 67 pounds, and now I am at normal weight. There are many hero who know and can vouch for the truth of these statements." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockvllle, Ont. Mammoths Were Starved. Many of the mammoths found frozen in Siberia have broken bonea or show signs of other injuries, sug- gesting that they were killed by land- slides or falls into 'T"v, , It has long been accepted a fact that those huge proboscidians were special!)- fitted by nature to withstand ap-yesc cold. But a newly published Smithsonian report offers a different theory. The idea it advances Is that in the days when the mammoths flourished In Siberia and Northern America the climate of those latitudes was com- paratively mild. It was a great inva- sion of cold that destroyed them. If they had been able to migrate south- ward into warmer regions, they might have survived even to the present time; but, as it happened, they suc- cumbed to low temperature. AJI iiicideutai effect of the change of olimate was to impoverish the vege- tation on which they relwd for food. Cold rains converted their bristly fur into cloaks of ice. Thy starved and froze, and so they passed away. When they perished, conditions were such that their carcasses im- mediately froze solid, and in that state they are found to-day the most re- markable example of cold storage on record, inasmuch as not fewer than 150,000 years have passed since the beasts died. The tusks of the mammoth were huge, even out of proportion to the iize.ot the animal, and so curved that in many im 1 ' victuals the tips were di- rected sidewlsc or backward. Thus they could not have been efficient as weapons, and it is hard to imagine what use they really served. NEAR TOWN OF STAND- ARD, SOUTH ALBERTA. i Interesting Account of a High- ly Successful and Prosperous Settlement of Hardy Danes. The Scandinavian people, Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes, are noted for their pioneering instinct, and it la therefore not surprising to find repre- sentatives of these races in the van- guard of settlement In Western Cana- da, in which especially Danes have taken a prominent part. The Danish people, due to the limit- ed area of agricultural land in the country of their birth, are keenly ap- preciative of the value of land and its proper cultivation; indeed, they are very good judges of soil and agricul- tural conditions and make few mis- takes in .selecting locations for settle- ment, and where they settle together and follow agricultural pursuits pros- perous farming communities soon de- velop. Individual Danish farmers have located in various parts of the Prairie Provinces of Canada and in some cases, where the first families settled a few years ago, very fine settlements of these thrifty agriculturists have sprung up. Markerville, Alberta, an early and successful Danish settlement in a tine dairy and mixed farming district, named after Mr. C. P. Marker, on of (he first Danish settlers there, wJio is now Dairy Commissioner for Alberta, and the Innlsfail district, may be men- tioned. The latter district has become noted for its dairy products owing to the fact that in their homeland the Danish settlers soon discovered the advantages of dairy farming and it \va.-i not long before a good creamery was in operation at Innisfail. creating a >taple industry and a retrular income to the iMt>rs. and through the main- tenance of a good nu in be~* of stock ar.d careful cultivation of the land, a very solid farming community had been es- tablished. An Outstanding Example of Success. Probably the most outstanding ex- ample of Danish pioneering and agri- cultural success, however, is that of tlif Danii-h settlement at Standard. Al- berta. It was in 1900 that J. H. Myrthii and Jens llaaiuusstn tirst heard of the fertile lauds of Western Canada, and whilst they were farming high-priced land in Western Iowa, where their ancestors had pioneered before them, tliey were beginning to feel the call of the Canadian North- West. Then the desire to investigate the opportunities in the Canadian West grew into a determination and crystal ized in the spring of the year when these two prominent farmers de- cided to make a trip to Canada. After travelling over various parts they de- cided that t.he undulating pmiries of Southern Alberta was the right place for them ami their Danish friends. Returning home they talked to their neighhcrs and friends about t';:eir plans, with the result that in the fall of the sam<> year a party of about some thirty people arranged to make the trip from Iowa to the new land in Alberta. These men were of the sturdy Danish-American farmer cl.iss. and as socn as tiie C'anadian border wns crossed were at once interested to see everything and miss nothing. No doubt there was a thought in some minds that a trreat change would ap- pear when they created from the land of the Stars and Stripes to the Land of ti:e Maple Leaf and Union Jack, but there seemed no great difference except that the fields of golden gr.rr. were larger and the stooks of grain were thicker. Their keen appreciation of the pro- ductive soil was at once aroused to the opportunity presented to the farm- er to make the rich prairie acres pay a handsome dividend, while at the same time the home life for their families would not be materially changed. On every hand they saw progress and prosperity. Big farms, fine buildings, progressive cities and towns, good schools, everything much as they had left in Iowa; the people .spcke the same language and many had preceded them from "back honi." When the train reached Gleichen, Al- berta, a budding Western town, the end of their railway journey, flhey pro- i ceede'd by democrat thirty-five miles across the prairie, everyone enthusi- astic over the promising future which the new land offered. To Spy Out the Land. Early the next morning the thirty pioneers, in six double-seated rigs packed with provisions and feed, set out to "spy the land" on their seventy- mile trip. Reaching the site of the prospective colony and whilst dinner was being prepared, the Danish minis- ter, who had been invited to join the party, formally dedicated the settle- ment the "Standard Danish Colony," after which the teams were again re- quisitioned, the party piled into the wagons, and every parcel of laud w.is carefully inspected and allotted. This then was the nucleus of the present very successful and prosper- ous Danish settlement which has won for the district an envied position among the many progressive grain ' and stock-raising districts which have ' sprung up during the past decade. ' Here now are to be seen the comfort- able hornet and big red barns of j wealthy and contented farmers, and the undulating unbroken prairie of 1909, with its picturesque winding trails, has given place to the mile long furrows, the woven wire fence, and the graded road with the railway pene- trating the settlement and the town of j S'ar.dard at their door. No Vacant Land Remains. The original settlement, which, through its wonderful record of suc- cess, had drawn their fellow country- men from all directions, has long since overflowed the original township boun- j claries, extending in all directions, has ; crossed the Rosebud River to the ' north, where at Wayne an extensive .settlement has rapidly grown. .Many j of these settlers came with limited means to take up lund at from $15 to ' <l'."i pur aiTe, while to-day, through their energy and determination and the Inherent fertility of the soil and favorable climatic conditions, they have built up a community in which their land is in demand by new set- tlers at from $75 to $100 per acre, i There is now no vacant land in Uia Standard Danish Settlemtrt. t'rohably no more persistent a:ui un- interrupted record of progress in col- onization and agricultural develop- ment can be instanced, and the mil- j lions of bushels of wheat, cats and other grains, and the thousands of' head of livestock produced in this , settlement have already created sub- j stantial railway traffic duch as few dis- ! trkts attain. When this condition is attained 1 throughout the West generally, one can only imagine what Canada's an- nual agricultural returns will be.

An arrangement by which an ordin- ary motorcar may be converted into a s'eigh is the invention of William B. Jenkins, of Idaho. The front wheels of the automobile are taken off and the rear wheels so positioned with re- ference to a supporting-sled contriv- ance as to be lifted slightly above the ! ground. The rear wheels, however, are required to propel the motor- sleigh, and so are provided with trac- tion rims having ralks to engage the | ground. The rear end of the vehicle ; is elevated upon the rear sleig-h-run- nera just high enough to enable the calks to catch the ground and give the requisite drive to the car. MONEY ORDERS.

It is said that the population of Iceland is wholly literate no small accomplishment in a country so sparsely settled. The outstanding fact of the educational system is that parents are responsible for teaching i!i-ir children the eliuentary subjects. All t-hlldren from ten to fourteen years old must t.ike, examinations every spring to show that they have completed the work of one jjrude, re- ! gardless of who has 'aught them. If they do not pass, the odticatlona com- j mittee may have tC-.em taught at the expense of the parents or guardians. Boy Didn't Kick. "I'm sorry, y<>ung man," said the druggist, as he eyed the small boy over the counter, "but I can only give you half as much castor oil for a dime as I used to." The boy blithely banded him the coin. "I'm not kicking." he remarked. "The stuff'.* for me." Seniority. A small boy, aged 4. had just com- municated the fact to his uucle that he had started on hit school career. "Indeed," said his uncle; "why, you must be the youngest there." "Oh, no," answered the youngster in a very lofty manner, "there's an- other gentleman who conies in a per- ambulator." Too Busy. "Mamma." asked Freddie, "are we going to heaven some day?" "Yes. dear. 1 hope so." was the reply. "I wish papa could go, too," con- tinued the little fellow. "Well, and don't you think he will?" a.-iked his mcther. "Oh, no," replied Freddie. "he couldn't leave hia business." Outcast. The profiteer's wife wa dining ont. During the evening the conversation turned on Dean Swift. After some time she turned to the man at tier side, who happened to be uu author, and said : "\Vho is this Dean Swift, who is so amusing?

"Some years ago stomach trouble came on me and I got in a general run- down condition. I got to where I felt tired all day long, tired when I went to bed and just as tired when I got up. I had a persistent cough like bron- chitis. that kept me awake much of the night. My stomach was so dis- ordered my appetite was almost en- tirely gone and all the food I ate gave me Indigestion. I had severe pains in the pit of the stomach, and could hard- ly stoop over, the distress was so bad. I was badly constipated and would get dizzy if I stooped over suddenly. At times my head hurt so bad it seem- ed that it would split open, and noth- ing would do me any good. My wife commenced taking Tanlao and it helped her eo much that I de- cided to try it myself.

Surnames and Their Origin GARFIELD. Variation Gear, Geer. Racial Origin English. Source A locality, also an occupation. The Hrst syllable in this family name is related to that in our modern word "garment." and also in our word ! "gear," which anciently meant trap- i pings or apparel, principally war ap- parel. It conies from the old Anglo-Saxon word "garwain" or "gearian," which meant "to procure," and it ia related also to the French word "guerre," j which is really quite similar to the j English "war," if you remember that ; the "g" has been eliminated from the latter, and that the "u" in the former was more anciently pronounced some- thing like a "w." The garfleld or "gear-Held," was what the name implies, a training or ] preparation field set aside for the use j of the lighting men ot the feudal com- munity. In the period when family names J bgan to take shape Individuals living j such places naturally received surnames as "de la CJarfleld" or ffttte Garfleld." "John o' Gear" would have been the 'N John who had charge of the war gear, V*. Ttrtually an armorer, and from this I -'"-- have been derived the family 1 of Gear and Geer. DAY Variations Daye. Dey, Deye. Dayman and Deman. Racial Origin English. Source An occupation. The family name of Day is really traceable to several different sources. One of these already has been dis- ciifised. the origin as a variation of the given name of David. Another is Irish, when Day is a shortened form of the name of O'Day. The third is English, and an occu- pation. Older forms of the surname, in that period when surnames were purely descriptive and had not yet become hereditary family distinctions, are met with constantly as "Le Deye," "Le Dugh." "La Deye" and "Le Dayman." Translated into modern speecJi. all of these names meant simply "the Dairy- man" or "tho Dairymaid, according to the s*x of the person to whom the name was applied. These family names therefore, take their place in the large classification of the original bearers, and which be- come hereditary at a slightly later period than surnames, which were de- rived from place names. If you bear one of these names it might trace back in your particular case to the twelfth century, or maybe only to the fifteenth or sixteenth. Hut h.trdly later than that, or the form of the uuuu- would have becu different. Get It Done. It isn't the job we intended to do, Or the labor we've just begun.
