Surnames and Their Origin HAWLEY. Variation* Hawes, Haw. Racial Origin English. Source A locality. Here la another of those family names of the kind which sprang up In a great many sections of that country through tile entire period of family name formation. These names were based upon, -local place names, mostly of the. descriptive kind, in many Instances known only to Ufcose who lived in the communities in which the names sprang up, names like Hill, Date, Ford. Woods, CKff, Grove and the like, Literally the name Ha-wley would mean a hedged piece of meadowland, for it la a compound of the ancient Anglo-Saxon words "haeg" and "ley," the former being the word from which has come our modern word "hedge" aa well as such names- as Haig, Hedges, Ray and the like. The form* Ha-w and Hawes. of course, are either shortened forms of Hawley or else name* derived simply from the old word "haeg." QRO38BECK. V a r I at i o n B roesbeek. Racial Origin Dutch, Source A locality. Groesbeck la really the more cor- rect spelling of this name, if it can be said that there is any better standard | of spelling family names than the habit of the bearer himself. Groesbeck !s the Dutch way of spell- Ing it. Tie other form, Grossbeck, Is a changed spelling which has come about through the influence of the English language in instances where the name tas been used for long peri- ods either in America or England. If you were to translate this, name literally into English it would be s4mp- ly "Blgstream." The word "groes" Is nothing but the Dutch equivalent for the English word "gross"' (or "great"), which is also to be found In both French a>nd German, and "beck," mean- ing stream. BABY'S HEALTH IN THE SPRING The Spring Is a time of anxiety to mothers who have little ones In the home. Conditions make It necessary to keep the baby Indoors. He is often confined to overheated, badly venti- lated rooms and catches colds which rack his whole system. To guard against this a box of Baby's Own Tab- lets should be kept in the house and an occasional dose given the baby to keep his stomach and bowels working regularly. This will prevent colds, constipation or colic and keep baby well. The Tablets are so-'.d by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Erockrille, Ont. Farthest-North Radio Weather Station. Jan Mayen Land, a tiny volcanic te- kxnd north of Iceland, is In the track of arctic storms sweeping toward the nuast of Norway, 600 miles distant. In fcrder to obtain timely warning of the storms which peril its interests, the Norwegian government less than two ya rs ago 1 established on the island a : rtdto station, the farthest-north sta- 1 I .".in In the world. It Is in charge of . Jlkbard Ekerold, an American citizen. ' The operator and his assistants are ! the first permanent inhabitants of the stand. The Gardener. So lovingly he holds within His hand the tiny seeds and sees A vision of bright fairy things. That soon will flutter in the sun. Like butterflies on flaming wings. So lovingly he lays them down In beds made soft and warm to deep, And carefully above their heads. For fear of bitter wind and storm, A magic coverlet he spreads. So lovingly he waits until Awakened by a thousand sounds, With tender outstretched arms they rise. And struggle to their feet, to find An eager welcome In his eyes. So lovingly he watctes when With quick response they do his will. And in his garden, kneeling there. With busy hands, care slips away. And peace comes like an answered prayer. Lillian Howard Cort. SPRING IMPURITIES DUE TO POOR BLOOD A Tonic Medicine a Necessity at This Season. Dr. WilHams' Pink Pills are an all- year-round tonic for the blood and . nerves. But they are especially vahi- : able in the spring when the system is loadeJ with Impurities as a result of th indoor life of the winter months, i I There Is no other season when the ! blood is so much In need of purifying ' and enriching, and every dose of these pills helps to enrich the blood. In the spring one feels weak and tired Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla give strength. In ! , the spring the appetite Is often poor ! Dr. Williams' Pink PUls develop the ; appetite", tone the stomach and aid weak digestion. It is in the spring that poisons In the blood find an out- !t In disfiguring pimpless eruptions and bolls Dr. Williams' Pink Pills : clear the skin because they go to the ' root of the trouble in the blood. In the j | spring anaemia, rheumatism, indiges- ' tion, neuralgia and many other trou- 1 bles are most persistent because of poor, weak blooJ, and it is at this time when all nature takes or new life that the blood most seriously needs ntten- tlon. Some people dose themselves j with purgatives at this season, but these only further weaken themselves. A purgative merely gallops through the system, emptying the bowels, but does not help the blood. On the other tand, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enrich the blood which reaches every Lerva and every organ in the body, bring new strength and vigor to weak, easily ; tired men, women and children. Try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills this spring | they will not disappoint you.

The right of scientists to share in tbe benefits derived from the applica- tion of their discoveries' has received official attention from the League of Nations Intellectual Co-operation Com- mission. A sub-committee assigned to go into the question has just concluded its studies, and a plan Is now being drafted for the legal protection of scientific work. After approval by the commission, and then by the council of the league, the plan would serve as a basis for legislation In tho parlia- ments of the different countries throughout the world.

At a recent concert in Winnipeg, a > gentleman said to his guest from the ' East, "I just notice that on this pro- gramme the names of the composers of the song lyrics are omitted. I won- der who is responsible for such an oversight?" It may be said at once that such omissions are not confined ' j by any means to Winnipeg. Every- 1 where you go you will find programmes ' ', giving the names of the composers o' : the music, but the persons responsible j for the texts are namelees. Some- ' times the' programme even gives In full the two or three s>tanzas of each j | of the texts without mentioning the I writers' names. Is it to save a few cents in composi- tion at the printers? Is it just thought- \ les-sness? Or is it because the one re- ! , sponsible for the programme consider- j ed the words of no importance? One of the foremost vocalists on this continent said the other day, "be(ore I study a new song to add to my re- pertoire. I mul over the words care- fully and if they are not worth while, j I wouldn't put any time on the song no matter how exceptionally fine the music was." Another singer, a famous tenor, said recently: "When I get a new song, I first familiarize myself with the text If the words prove silly or sentimental, I throw the song aside. For no matter how good the music, a song is not worth singing unless the words are worth hearing. Words and music should constitute a harmonious union. For that matter I believe that ; the accompaniment to a song Is just as much a part of It as the portion ' ' written for the voice." The most successful composers lay great stress on the lyrics. There is | absolutely no excuse for using the , words of a song on the programme without giving proper credit to the i writer of those words, and. it would be I good taste when listing songs to say words by so-and-so, and music by so- and so. No music publisher would is- sue a song without the title page cover- i ing the name of the lyric writer In prominent type along with that of the composer of the music. 'Twentieth Floor, Please P New York la a city of skyscraper*. Highest of all these enormous build- Ings is the well-known Woolworth Building, headquarters of the world- famous store*, one of the founders of which has just died hi London. It is known as the "Cathedral of Commerce" because of Its sham Gothic architecture. It is more than 800 ft in height. Next comes the "Equitable," Jn ' which 15.000 clerks are employed. It has a dining-room which seats many hundreds, and a roof-garden for the ! workers. Then comes the Metropolitan Build- Ing, the home of the Metropolitan In- surance Company, with its five or six thousand employees. These giant buildings are fitted with most wonderful lift systems, including' several that stop at every twentieth floor or so. One would have thought that the existing buildings are quite near enouEv to the sky as It is, but it is an- nounced that one with 150 storeys is contemplated. No Place Like Home. When a native of Prince Edward Is- land had sailed forth to se the world, he engaged a room at a mcde.n hotel in Beaton, intending to remain there while he hunted fcr work. "Will you register?" asked the clerk handing him a pen. "Register?" said the traveler. "What la that?" "Write your name." "What for?" "We are required to keep a record of all our guests-." The man wrote his name and was about to lay down the pen when the clerk added: "Now the place, if you please." "What place?" "The place you came from. Where do you live?" "I live on the island." "Well, but what island?" The other looked at him In amaze- ment. Then he said, with an emphasis that left no doubt of his feelings, "Prince Edward Island, man. What other island Is there?" WILLIAMS TELLS OF WASTED CASH Classified Advertisements, Spent Lob of Money, But Wife Got No Better Until TanJac Ended Stomach Trouble. "I Dever saw such a change as Tan- lac has made In my wife and she says he Is feeling like a girl of sixteen now," declared Harold Williams, a well-known shoemaker, of 28 Cornwall St.. Toronto, Ont., recently. "For years, she was so weak and run- down I often thought she wou'.d fall in her tracks. Nearly everything she ate disagreed with her and at times she was simply in agony. Her nerves were so unstrung the least little thing would worry and upset her for hours and she could scarcely ge* any sleep. "Well, after spending hundreds of dollars on different medicines, I didn't have much hope that Tanlac would help her, but, it's a fact, when she finished the treatment, every ailment was gone. That was several months ago and since then her health has been splendid. Hereafter we will always pin our faith to Tanlac." Tanlac is for sale by all good drug- gists.

"I was always tired and the least exertion would put me out for a day or two. I had a pressing pain on the top of my head, pain in the nape of my neck, and when I stooped over I could not j?et up with- out help, because of pain in my back. I did not sleep well and was nervous at the least noise. I keep house, but I was such awreck that I could not sweep the floor nor wash the dishes without ly- ing down afterwards. A friend living near me told me what Lydia E. Pink- bam'sVegetable Compound had done for her so I began to take it. With the first bottle I felt brighter and got so I could wash dishes and sweep without having to lie down. Later I became regular again in my monthly terms.
