Source â€" A place, also a nickname. The manner in which such a family nam* as Crane could have originated Is likely to bo puzzling to the casually curious, for certainly the crane was not a eonimou enough bird in England of the middle ages to have occurred to a man's associates in that period when various descriptive phrases came into use to differentiate one in- dilvtdual from others bearing the same giv^n name. Th«re might have been exceptional cases here and there of dealers in rare animals who couldn have gotten the saraaoie from the fact that they sold cranes. But that would not account for the very many families which to- day bear the name. It might also â€" and undoubtedly was, in some in- stancesâ€" be conferred upon a man as a nickname, and from this develop in- to a family name. But the explanation, in the vast ma- jority of cases, lies in a custom quite Why Creâ€" ea Mean KiMes.

Here is a group of family names | which are the equivaleat of the name j of Hill. They all trace back, of course, ! to the Latin root "moat" Though the name appeared at an early period in Eugland, it had no very wide development there, for in the ! amalgamation of the Nonnan-French > p A REUABLElONlC FOR SPRINGTIME I and the Anglo-Saxon tongues into the : mixture that has become modern Eng- 1 lish, the word "mountain" was used very little in application to gecgrapcl- 1 cal features of Eugland. To-day even the English speak rather of their hilla than of their mountains. The more ancient French form, that is "Montaigne," was introduced into England by the Normans. The more modern form of "Montaine" appears quite widely in France, and more fre- quently than the older spelling, the wid€.sprcad in the middle ages, and I r^^" °' ^'^^ influences; one that the now all but forgotten, except where ! meaning of the name was less quickly the owner of a little inn, restaurant | submerged in England, where the vse or curio shop desires to lend an air °f French rapidly died out, and the of quaintnes and antiquity to his busi- ' other, that family aames^ere of some- ne£3. The custom was that of placing what later formation in France than outside the door a sign bearing the picture of some animal or article. Let- tered signs were little used because in England. Montani, of course, is an ItaJian form of the name, whereas Mountz the bulk of the population could not may be regarded as a Teutonic de- reaid. But the picture was a distin- guic-hing mark to the uneducated as well as the educated eye. It was not uncommon, on busy streets, to see a veritable menagerie on the signs of the shops and inns of a single square. It was much easier to refer to a man simply as "Geoffrey Crane" than as "Geoffrey at the sign of the Crane." Hence the modern form of the name. though at one period it was preceded by"de la" (ot the). velopment of the Latin word in south- ern Germany and Austria, where the cultural influence of Latin wus great- er, and where it was quite "the thing" at one period to Latinize one's name. Originally these names were pre- ceded by some such phrase as "de la" (according tx> the language in which they developed), with a meaning of "of the," indicating that tlie bearer lived in or came from the vicinity of some hill or mountain.

Easily tired, appetite fickle, i sometimes headaches and a feeling of depression. Pimples or eruptions may; appear on the skin, or there may be ; twinges of rheumatism or neuralgia. â-  I Any of these indicate that the blood is ] i out of orderâ€" that the indoor life of â-  I winter has left its mark upon you and . i may easily develop into more serious i trouble. j Do not dose yourself with purgatives, ' as many people do, in the hope that, you can put your blood right. Purga- tives gallop through the system and weaken Instead ot giving strength. ' Any doctor will tell you that this is ' true. What you need in the spring is i a tonic that will enrich the blood and! build up the nerves. Dr. Williams' i Pink Pills do this speedily, safely and; surely. Every dose of this medicine helps to enrich the blood, which clears J the skin, strengthens the appetite and j makes tired, depressed men, women : and children bright, active and strong, i Proof of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills when the system is run down is shown by the case ot Mrs. Lil- lian Lewis, South Ohio, N.S., who says: â€" "About a year ago I was badly run down. My appetite was poor, I did not sleep well and my nerves were all unstrung. I could not go upstairs without stopping to rest. As I was a long way from a doctor I decided to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and in the cottrse of a few weeks I felt like a new person.

Canada has, acoording to the latest newsipai.'er directory, 114 daily papers, with a total average daily circulation of 1.646.000 copies. With a population cf 8,T.Tu,8;:!, as shown by the last cen- sus, this gives a daily newspaper for every .'. 1 of iho population. The Unite! Staties haa 2,300 daily paipors, with an e;tima.ted aggregate daily circulation of 33,000,000 copies. On th* basis of the population figures for Dhe 1920 censes, 105,711,000, a daily newspaper is provided for every 3.2 of t'n« population. Per capita consumption of newsprint also shows a much higher ratio in the United StatKs as compared with Cana- da. In 1924. using census figures of population, the Canadian consumption of newsprint was 30.3 pounds, as com- pared with 53 pounds in the United States This greater per capita con- sumption can be accounted for largely by the larger number of pages con- tained in the United Statec5- metropoli- tan daiili?s United States newspapers with circulation ia excess of 100,000 average 28 pages in daily editions and 103 pages in Sunday editions. In Canada the average size of the daily papers would not exceed sixteen pages although in Uie larger cities this is consider? bly exceeded. Thus it will be seen that we have fewer daily papers per capita, our papers are of smalHer size, our con- sumption of newsprint is less, yet last year we caane within 118.000 tons of equalling United States production. In addiUcn to the 1,192.699 tons of newsprint we supplied to take care of their huge consumption, Canada's for- ests provided 1,330,250 cords of pulp- wood, and 691,443 tons of mechanical and chemical pulpwood.
