7 , \ A POPULAR TONIC One That Enriches the Blood and Strengthens the Nerves. Proper food, fresh air and a good tonic will keop most people in good health. Hurried meals, Indoor con- 'flnement In badly ventilated rooms and lack of exercise causes anaemia. Jn this condition Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a popular tonic. They con- tain no habit forming drugs, and al- ways have a beneficial effect through enriching the blood and strengthening the nerves. For growing girls, who become thin and pale, for pale, tired women and for old peopte who fall in Btrength, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an ideal tonic. Their benefit in anae- mic conditions Is shown by the case ol Miss Lucy A. Sleeves, Hlllsboro, N.B., who says: "Last spring I was In poor health, and completely run down. I had severe headaches, the least ex- ertion would cause my heart to palpi- tate violently, my appetite was poor, and 'it times I had fainting spells. TThis went on for some months, and al- though I was taking medicine, I seem- ed to be growing weaker, and the least exertion would leave me worn out. ^hen on the advice of a friend, I changed the treatment to Dr. Williams' "Pink Pills, and I have great cause to ,be thankful that I did so, as they have Ixnade a wonderful Improvement In my (condition, I can now work without Ttatlgue, go upstairs without becoming breathless, and have gained In weight. I think these pills are an ideal medi- cine In cases like mine." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any medicine dealer or by mall at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Distances.

One small girl, who evidently had 'experience in such matters, replied promptly " "Ow much d'yer want for the lot?' " Minard's Liniment Lumberman's Friend Flies' Funny Feet. Have you ever wondered how it is that a fly can alight on a ceiling and walk upside down last as easily as we walk on the ground? Some books say that the fly is pro- vlded with small sharp hooks which are able to hold on to the slight rough- nesses of the ceiling's surface; others state that each foot has a hollow pad which acts like a schoolboy's leather "sucker." Neither of these explana- tions 1& correct. Examine a fly's foot through a mag- nifying glass and you will find that It Is covered with flne hairs. At the end of the foot you will see amidst the mass of hairs two little pads shaped like tiny pears. At first these were thought to be suckers, but we know now that they act in quite a different way. Each of the pads contains a supply of a sticky substance; when a fly alights on the ceiling every one of his twelve pads he has a pair on each of hi six legs excretes a tiny drop of glue, which holds the unmerou; hairs that fringe each foot. The fly thus glues his feet to the ceiling, or to any smooth substance on which he walks. An oire deposit discovered in Sweden Js about 90 per cent pure copper. Surnames and Their Origin GORMAN Variations O'Gorman, MacGorman. Racial Origin Irish. Source A given name. M'Gotnain" is the Gaelic form of this family name, the Anglicized de- velopmeut of which vary from the original principally by the elimination of the "I" and in most cases the drop- ping of the "Mac" or the "O." The given name from which the |mmily name was formed, at first as a clan name, was "Gorman," exactly the nann- as the form of the family name most frequently met with to-day. The ending "main" instead of "man" in the Gaelic clan name is merely inflection. The possessive case of the given name. of course, had to be used In connection with the prefix "Mac" ("son of"). The given name had a meaning of "illus- trious." One of the most powerful i-lans of ancient Ireland, from both the in- fluential and numerical point of view. was that of the "O'Connors." and a great many of the Irish claas formed t a later period were branches of the O'Connors. The MacGormains were one of these. It was formed, apparent- ly, about 650 A.D., and its founder was a direct descendant of "Cathair Mor," an O'Connor who was King of Lein- Bter and the 109th monarch o all Ire- land In 119 A.D. The MacGormains themselves, how- ever, became a very powerful clan throughout the Middle Ages. POWERS Variations Person. Racial Origin Welsh. Source A given name. No. The first bearers of this family name were not necessarily powerful men. The name is a Welsh one., and has no connection with our English word "power." "Powyr" was a given name of rather widespread popularity among the > Welsh of the Middle Ages, having been | the name of a famous 1 chieftain, a des- i cendant of the "Leod," who was the father of the leader "Mandebrog" of j Welsh tradition, and the "Mandebratl- us" of the Romans' British history. The endings of both forms. Powers ! and Person. Indicate English influence. I and more than likely developed, for the most part, in England at first, where the natural procedure was to refer to the son by the name of his father with the suffix "son" added. It Is to be noted that in the case porson, where the pronunciation was not diiB-l cult, that the Bending has been pre- served. But "Powyrson" is a little clumsy, and where "Powyr" was not elided to "Por." all but the "s" of the i "son" has been dropped from the end- 1 | iug of the family name at some period ; after it ceased to be truly descriptive and settled down into a sort of "tag" for the family with the original mean- ing overlooked. In some instances, too, the name un- : doubtedly came into being- in Wales at A Just Judge. In the early mining days of British Columbia the administration of the law. though crude, had its good points. The trials were short and to Che point. There were none of the "law's delays." for generally, being a miner himself, the judge did not like any too well to leave his gold sluice and sit in court. The crown officer appointed the Jus- tices of the peace; and in more than one camp the "boys" asked that the office be given to some man whom they counted on to provide not only justice but some entertainment. So the trials were ofteifcemusing as well as short. In Cariboo a miner whom we shall call Smith was appointed Justice of the peace who, whatever his failings, had wit and a sure sense of right and wrong. One day a drunken Siwash named Yakum rode his cayuse wildly up and down the street, shouting at the top of his lungs. After a lively fight the men succeeded in locking him up in jail. The next morning the policeman told Judge Smith that he held the Siwash for further orders. Now the worthy justice of the peace, who had also been drinking, was in no condition to hold court. "Send him home." he said thickly, "and tell him to come back to-morrow." "Why. judge," objected the police- man, "he lives^ four miles out of town." "Don't matter; tell him to return for trial to-morrow." The next day the Siwash reported. but the judge had not recovered and repeated his order. On the third morn- ing the court opened, and the judge heard the charge. With an air of dignity he gave hia decision : "Yakum, you have broben the law cf the land and offended against the laws of Her Majesty the Queen and got disgracefully drunk. But I think you are punished enough, waUein' in two days to get tried. I discharge you." Then, to the astonishment cf every- one, he exclaimed sternly, "Now, then, Richard Smith, stand up." He rose. "Here you are," he went on. address- ing himself, "an officer of the law sworn to keep the majesty of the law of Her Majesty the Queen. Here you get drunk and disgrace your high of- fice. You're a flne bird of a J.P. I flne you five dollars and costs, seven dollars and fifty cents in all." Turn- Ing, he paid over the seven dollars and fifty cents to the clerk, resumed his seat, and said: "The tine is paid; the court's adjourned." With huge enjoyment and. let as hope, some admiration, the clerk wrote the whole proceedings into the records. Christ Didn't See the Leper. Christ believed that every man was a God in the making. That was the secret of His healing. He didn't see the leper; He saw the perfect man, the God-made man who wa.s intended to be happy and successful, the man who came on earth with a mission. If He hud seen the leper, visualized him in his horrible symptoms, had seen the flesh falling off his bones, his fingers and toes becoming unjoiutcd, He could never have healed him. He did not see the outer man: He looked beyond that to the reality of him. the wonderful man God had made. The greatest mental healers could do no healing if they closed their eyes and visualized their patient's illness, the cymptoms of some horrible dis- ease. How could they cure a cancer by visualizing the awful physical octo- pus spreading its poison tentacles to every part of the body, and gripping the very vitals of life? It would be impossible. No. the healers do not see cancer, or tuberculosis, or any other disease in the sufferer. They see the perfect man. God's child, per- fect and immortal. They know that health is the everlasting fart, and that disease is only an appearance. WHEN BABY IS ILL When the baby is 111; when he cries a great deal and no amount of atten- tion or petting makes him happy, Baby's Own Tablets should be given him without delay. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which re- gulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus drive out constipa- tion and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers nd make teething easy. Concerning them Mrs. Desire Theberge, Trois Pistols, Que., writes: "I am well satisfied with my use of Baby's Own Tablets. I have found them of great benefit to my baby when he was suffering from constipation and I cau strongly recommend them to other mothers." The Tablets are sold by all medicine dealers or by mall at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Plague of Muskrats. An American official at Prague re- ports that muskrats are overrunning Czecho-Slovakia and have become a frightful plague. Sixteen years ago a sporting noble- man of Bohemia, the Prince of Col- leredo Manustield. while on a. shooting trip in Canada became so interested in muskrats as fur-bearing animals that he took four pairs of them back home with him. Knowing no method of breeding them in captivity, he set them at liberty. To the business of propagation they proceeded to attend with extraordin- ary celerity. Whereas !n Canada the female muskrat rarely produces more than one litter a year, of about six off- spring, in Bohemia .she gives birth to three or four litter of eight or nine young. Consequently, the species over there has multiplied at an almost fabulous rate, and the muskrats are doing enormous damage. They honeycomb the banks of canals, raid vegetable patches and fruit orchards, and where maize is grown they cut down th stalks and carry away the ears bodily. In Czecho-Slovakia the raising of carp and other fishes in fresh-water inclosures is of great Importance. Likewise the growing of crayfish for market. Both of these industries have been largely ruined by the mutkrats. which eat the fish eggs and gobble up the crayfish. The muskrat is native exclusively to America. Transplanted to Europe, it seems to have changed its habits al- together, becoming a marauding ani- mal. One might imagine that its value as a fur-bearing animal would to some ex- tent offset the damage it does, but, sad to say, In Czecho-Slovakia its fur has become less thick, much coarser and of small market worth.

Grease and Greece. As the steamer was moving out of tie harbor at Athens a well dressed lady approached the captain and pointed to the distant hills. "Could you tell me what is that white stuff over there?" she asked. "That is snow, madam," replied the captain. "Well. I thought so myself." agreed the lady, "buf a gentleman just now informed me that It was Greece!" Health, He Says. "I want to give a little history of my case just to let the public know what Tanlac has really done for me," said Edward White. 27 Caroline St., : South Hamilton. Ont., a foreman for , the Dominion Steel Company. "Several years ago I suffered a com- plete breakdown and it was only when I got Tanlac that I recovered my health. We were making engines and were anxious to turn out as many aa possible, so lots of time I worked night and day. "Well, this finally got the best of ' me and I just had to go to bed and stay there for a number of days. Thia . left me in such a bad condition that I had no appetite at all and was so weak that when I walked around I would just stagger. I tried treatments and all kinds of medicine, but failed to get any better ami I began to think noth- ing would help me. "However, Tanlac has bui'.t me up so in every way until I feel like an en- tirely different person now. My ap- ' petite is flne and I eat hearty at every meal. Why, I've gained eleven pounds I in weight and am back on the Job every aight working aa good as ever." Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere.

To have sound, healthy nerves, completely under control, digestive organs that are capable of absorbing a hearty meal, means you have a strong constitution! Your general attitude is one of optimism and energy. But an irritable disposition, frequent attacks of indigestion, and a languid depression, indicate your system is not in correct working order. Probably you are not eating the proper food. Probably the nutritious elements are not being supplied to your system in the proper way. Grape-Nuts is the wholesome, delicious cereal that promotes normal digestion, absorption and elimi- nation, whereby nourishment is accomplished with- out auto- intoxication. A mixture of energy-giving wheat and malted barley comprise the chief elements of Grape-Nuts. A dish at breakfast or lunch is an excellent, wholesome rule to follow. You can order Grape-Nuts at any and every hotel, restaurant, and lunch room; on dining cars, on lake boats and steamers; in every good grocery, large and small, in every city, town or village in Canada. Grape-Nuts the Body Builder "There's a Reason" Making Violins Talk. To be able to play ou a violin with- out strings, the violinist being in a distant room, is one of the marvels of a new discovery by two Danish scientists. Briefly, the principle discovered is that when an electrical "pressure" is applied between certain substances they will adhere firmly. Thus a cur- rent applied in this way to a litho- graphic stone and a piece of metal will cause one to stick firmly to the other. Besides this stone, some kinds of slate, lime-stone, flint, agate, skin, and paper show the same results. Effects can be got even with gelatine and bone and animal membranes, but there ia no attraction in the case of true insulat- ors. The violin used is an ordinary In- strument with the strings removed. It is clamped high up to a table, and In front of the instrument is placed a rotating cylinder cf agate rubbing against a piece of metal, which is the direct player. The real violinist plays in another room, and the reproduction control is perfect. On this principle the violin can reproduce the human voice. "Writing" by Wireless. If it had been forecasted a few months ago that the words one writes could at the same moment be read in America as if by someone looking over one's shoulder, in the very shape In which the pen traces them; If it had been said that a diplomatic signature, for example, could be appended to a treaty by wireless, or that a treaty or cheque could be signed three thous- and miles away, the reply would have been that one spoke of a fairy tale. Yet all this is possible now. says an English writer. The future opened by the triumph cf a French idea is un- bounded. Net only will there be no impossibility as to the transmission of judicial documents, autographs, manu- scripts .designs, and works of art. but the very authenticity of the message acquires fresh guarantees by their autographed transmission. Speed of transmission, too, should be increased, for while currents in the earth or atmospheric conditions may render Morse signals ./illegible and necessitate re-trajisinissiou, that is not the case with the new type of mes- sages. Interfering currents can only ren- der the letters a little irregular with- out altering their form. The inventor of the new wireless Is .V. Helin. 5,000- Year-Old Trees. No form of life Is as long-lived as the tree. Tradition, says that the ce- dars of Lebannon were planted at the creation of the world, and that they will endure until the last day. Of the three or four hundred cedars now standing in the grove at Lebanon, only flfteen are of very great age. Pre- sumably all are descendants of earlier tries in the same grove. Professor A. Henry, of the Royal College of Sciences, Dublin, estimates that these cedars live from 2.300 to 2.500 years, and possibly longer, for they may be of slower growth than cedars in other countries. A still greater antiquity is claimed for the Sequoia pigantlca. or "Big Tree." of California, which attains a height of 400 ft, and a girth of 90 ft. at the base. Sections of comparative- ly youthful specimen* which have been cut down show lives of 1,400 yeans, and It Is estimated that the. full span of the sequoia's life is possibly 3,000 years a span which covers the whole of the recorded history of man.

A "diop," ill China, is a trademark. It represents incidentally a guarantee of value, which may be greater or less in proportion to the commercial stand- Ing of the firm whose chop it is. The silver dollar in that country is chopped by each firm or money-shop through whose hands it passes. A clean, un- chopped dollar is looked upon askance. The chop utttxcd may be merely an ink stamp, or it may be put on with a sharp die, defucing the coin. Thus a silver dollar, after being in circula- tion tor a while, becomes unrecogniz- able. A properly guaranteed coin as- sumes a cup shape, and not infrequent- ly with a hole through the middle. The Chinese silversmith exacts a percent- age from the dollars that pass through his hands by scooping out some of the silver. MONEY ORDERS.
