PALE AND NERVOUS SCHOOLCHILDREN Need Rich, Red Blood to Regain Health and Strength. Many children start school in excel- lent health, but after a short time home work, examinations, hurried meals and crowded school rooms cause their blood to become weak, their nerves over-wrought and their color and spirits lost. It Is a mistake to let matters drift jwhen boys and j the iJoniTand ot"her an'imlls'that" break girls show symptoms of nervousness from clrcug cages Notwithstanding or weak blood. They are almost sure thifl danger due to the great number Safeguarding the Community. The *>eape of a pair of untamed Hone from a wrecked circus train sug- gests to one's mind the organisation of the entire community to destroy a ( ,m>mon menace. The scratch of the lion's claw Is almost always fatal. This is due to the blood-poisoning germs that accumulate and develop on the claw as It remains within the moist and warm sheath. Yet that familiar insect bred in un- speakable Hit h and known to us as the common housefly carries a million dangerous and deadly germs on its hairy body and is a menace far more hazardous to the community than all to fall victims of St. Vitus dance, or drift Into debility that leads to other troubles. Regular meals, out-door exercise and plenty of sleep are neces- sary to combat the nervous wear of school life. But it is still more impor- tant that parents should pay attention to the school child's blood supply. Keep this rich and red by giving Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and the boy or girl will be sturdy and fit for school. The value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind is shown by the statement of Mrs. Watson, Grand Fallg, N.B., who says: "In the spring of these insects and to their pertina- tious habit to inspect, touch and taste every object within reach of their ac- tive wings, folks are not inclined to get together on a community program looking for the destruction of the eggs and maggots of this pestiferous in- sect. However, It la more than possible that in rural places individual effort with screens, traps, closed vessels for foods that attract these pests, sul- phate of iron for the manure piles, etc., will bring a sufficiently satisfac- tory return in the reduction of the Bits of Canadian News.

Patience w'ith a Limit. Dora has the common infantile com- plaint of wanting everything s*e can think of before she will condescend to go to sleep. "I want a drink of milk!" she an- nounced loudly one evening when Marjorie had already made several trips upstairs. "I lit the gas for you, didn't I?" de- manded Marjorie, standing accusingly by the bed. No answer. "And I've brought you your black doll?" Still Dora vouchsafed no reply. "And I gave you a piece of white paper and a pencil?' This time Dora pouted asent. "Well," decreed the big sister, with an air of finality, "just you take the pencil and paper, auu draw a cow; then you can milk it!'

Source A locality. These surnames belong to the classi- fication of th'ose which have been de- rived from places, their first applica- tion having been to distinguish the in- dvidual by reference to his place of residence or former place of residence, in addition to his given name. Had the name been an English in- stead of a Welsh development, It would have been "Hazelhill," and in the sense of meaning alone it would be put in the same classification with such English family names as Hazel- holt. Hazelhurst and Hazelton. The Welsh form of the name, how- ever, is neither Colburn, Colborn, nor Colbern, but "Colbrin" or "Cc-lbryn." It is a compound of the word "bryn," meaning a "hill," and "coll,'' which ! designates the hazel plant in the an- j cient tongue of the Cymric branch of ' the Celtic race. It is to be noted that a much heavier proportion of family names from the Welsh and Cornish tongues belong in the classification of place names than among the Gaelic branches of the | Celts; that is to say, the Irish and the ' Scottish. The reason for this lies in the higher development of the clan j system among the latter and a develop- 1 nwnt of clan nomenclature which was j virtually a system of family names. As early as the tenth century this sys- tem was crystal ized by royal-edict in Ireland. But In Wales patronymics held strictly to use as definitely des- criptive of the Individual's parentage, often becoming virtual genealogies of up to a dozen names, finally to be dis- carded for a place name. MacNAMARA Variations McNamara, Macnamara. Racial Origin Irish. Source A given name. Here Is a family name with a tang of the salt sea, and which, if you were familiar with the speech of the Gael, would call up visions of clashing arms and splintering galley/?, with Celt and Viking locked in deadly combat off shore. Nor, if you were familiar with the history of the Gael, would the lo- cality of the visions necessarily be off the Irish coast, for the Irish in the early Middle Ages, united under a single "high king," took the offensive as often as the defensive, and at one period their compaigns penetrated as far as northern Italy, as well as along the shores of the Baltic and Scandin- avia. The meaning of the name of the ancient Irish clan, or "Siol Conmara," or, to use the more usual and modern form, "MacConmara," is "descend- ants" or "followers of the sea pro- tector," and the clan derived its name at some point in medieval history from a sea chieftain to whom had been given the name "Cu-mara," derived from the combination of the words "cu" and "mulr," and signifying "pro- tector of the sea." With the passage of the Gaelic clan system many generations ago, under the pressure of English law and cus- tom, the use of the word "slol" and the designation of divisions of population by clans has been dropped. The Irish have not succeeded in preserving their clan organization as well as the Scots, though the prefixes "O" and "Mac" as denoting descent are still in wide- spread use with family names with hereditary connections strongly cher- ished. This family name is not Scottish, being found but Seldom in Scotland.

The Foolish Girl. An Irish priest was talking to his gardener, Pat, one day. Pat was an old servant, and it was the priest's custom to discuss with the man vari- ous items of news from the news- papers. "Tat," said the clergyman, "is this not scandalous?" "And what is that, Father?" asked Pat. "It says in the paper this morning that a large number of English girls are marrying Chinamen." "Slnire, and that's nothing, yer hon- or," replied Pat. "I know a handsome Irish colleen that's married an Eng- lishman." Mrs. Nelles Declares the Medi- cine Has Completely Re- stored Her Health.

I generally woke up in the mornings with a fearful headache and had such spells of dizzi- ness that I had to hold on to the furni- ture to save myself from falling. I was just tired out and weary all the time and every now and then had such a sinking sensation come over me that I thought my end had come. In fact, I was almost a confirmed invalid and used to lie awake for hours at night worrying about my condition, and never expected to be well again. "But the way Tanlac has built me up has been really wonderful. The first few doses seemed to do me good, for I began to sleep better and had less distress after my meals. After taking eight bottles of this medicine I can uones-tly say I am as well aa I ever was In my life. All my stomach trouble has disappeared, I sleep fine at ulfeht and am so much stronger that I can do my housework with ease.
