Thia Is a family name which comes to us for the most part through the Spanish, but wfclch traces back to the ancient Gothic or Teutonic speech, to that race of which so comparatively little Is known to-day despite the fact that it overran the greater part of southern Europe and was responsible largely for the fall of the great Roman empire. Little Is known of this race, not be- cause its blood Is not predominating to-day In many countries commonly classed as "Latin," but simply because upon completion of ita conquest it re- cognized the vnlue of the superior civilization and/anguage of the Roman predecessor, ajid adopted them for the moat part atronce. Names, however, were naturally not adopted to the name extont as speech. The Goths had a given name, "Fer- honanths," the meaning of which was "adventu *ing life," or, In other words, "courage " In the course of time the Spanish Goths, among whom It seems to have been most popular, simplified It Into "Fenian," and then Into "Fer- nando." Among the more northern races it became "Ferdinand." And from these given names have developed the foregoing family names, 1 : Jhe natural process by which par- etltage was at first Indicated, with the ltimate broadening of application to ' include a specific family. Vernon for the most part does not belong In this group, but in some In- ' stances It Is but a changed spelling of Fernon or Fernan. MEAD Variations Meadows, Dupre. Racial Origin English, also French. Source A locality. It Is the variation of Meadows in thla group of family names which gives the clue to the origin. These names were, of course, origin- ally descriptive of the localities in whtchi their first bearers lived, and were of local nature. In the days when populations began to multiply so quickly that there were Self-satisfaction is one of man's greatest foes, for we don't struggle to Improve things when we are satisfied with them. If everybody was satisfied with tilings as they are, with our- selves and our work, civilization would be at a standstill. A noble discontent is progress, better- ment, Improvement, advance- ment all along the Hne. It has given us our great scientists, architects, musicians, artists, poets, authors, physicians, mer- chants, explorers, railroad build- ers, teachers, all the great men and women who have made our civilization what It is today.

There are thousands of growing girls and women held In the deadly clutches of anaemia. Slowly but aurely a deathly pallor settles on their cheeks; their eyes grow dull; their step languid; their appetite fickle. Dally they are losing their vitality and brightness. Pains in the side, head- not enough given names to go around, ; aches and backaches follow, rnd life the first result was the multiplication of given names into variations through seems to be scarcely worth living. What is needed In cases of this kind the addition of diminutive endings and is new, rich red blood which will bring the use of nicknames. Out even this back to weak, ailing girls and women was not enough, and In everyday \ the charm and brightness of perfect health. To obtain this new, rich blood speech men found it necessary to in- dicate which John or Thomas or Harry try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Their they were referring to. This they did ' action Is directly upon the blood; they by some reference to parentage or to j supply the elements necessary to make the place the man lived, or to his trade It rich and red, and In thla way they or some personal peculiarity. Thus such uames as "Tom atte Mead" Tom at the Meadow) or "Ger- ald de Mead" (Gerald of the Meadow) came Into being. Possibly it would pass out of existence with the man bearing It, and hl eon be known as Geoffrey the Red, or by some other name. But If the family continued to reside by the meadow long enough, sooner or later the expression "atto Mead" would come to dslgnate> the family and not a mere individual mem- ber of It, and so would become heredi- tary and firmly settled In p. few gene- rations. The name of Dupre Is simply the French equivalent of the English "of the meadow." < f i 4 THANKFUL MOTHERS Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little one she would use nothing else. The Tablets give | such results that the mother has noth- ing but words of praise and thankful- ness. Among the thousands of moth- ers throughout Canada who praise the Tablets is Mrs. David A. Anderson, New Glasgow, N.S., who writes: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for my children and from my experience I would not be without them. I would urge every other mother to keep a box of the Tablets in tbe house." The Tab- lets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweet- en the stomach; drive out constipa- tion and Indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make teething eay.

Among those who have found benefit i through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is Miss Emma J. Johnston, U.H. No. 1, Clinton, Ont., who says: "In the spring of 1921 I felt weak and very much run down. It was with difficulty that I forced myself to work at all. I had headaches, was very pale, and felt constantly tired. In our local paper I ran across the testimonial of a lady who told of the benefit she had from using Dr. Williams' Pink rills, and I decided to give them a trial. Very soon I felt a change for the better, and by the time I had taken flve boxes I felt like a new per- son. The tired, worn out feeling had vanished and I could go abuut my work from morning until night with- out any difficulty. I certainly cannot speak too highly of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and when I meet anyone weak and rundown I strongly advise them to give these pills a trial." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont.

We do not use our brains to half their capacity, says Sir Arthur Keith, British scientist, who has Just return- ed to London from the African Jungle, where he made a minute study of the brains of gorillas and gibbons. "Most of us," says Sir Arthur, "have more hraius than we known what to | do with." The famous anthropologist said that changes are now taking place in the human world more rapidly than at any former period, but that the time has not yet come for the production of supermen. During the war, he ex- plained, the average stature for a man was five feet si* inches, the same as in the neolithic period. The average for men leading professional lives is five feet efght inches. The scientist says he is convinced that certain characteristics, which are easily recognized in the bodies of a large proportion of our modern popu- lation, are of recent origin. The most plastic bone in -the human body, he said. Is that under the gums, la. which the teeth are rooted, and It is here that the most marked changes- are to be noted. Change in Human Palate. "In quite 30 per cent, of th people this bone," continued Sir Arthur, "in- stead of spreading outwards and giv- ing the roof of the mouth a wide and low vault, as In prehistoric races, grows in a vertical direction, giving the palate a narrow and high arch. "In these contracted palates there is no longer room for the normal number of teeth. Such as appear are crowded ; the wisdom teeth often fall to cut or are absent altogether. "The recession of the teeth gives tho modern nose and chin an undue promi- nence; the tendency of all modern changes is toward the production of long and narrow faces. The 'adenoid' type of face, with which medical men are so familiar In modern children, was unknown In prehistoric times." Says Famous Medicine Ended Long-Standing Dyspepsia and Restored Perfect Health. "The Tanlao treatment not only end- ed my stomach trouble, but it built me up eighteen pounds, and I never felt better in my life," is the positive state- ment of Armand Grenler, 260 Mar- quette Street, Montreal. "Dyspepsia had me In such awful shape I scarcely dared to eat, knowing the misery I would have to suffer. My nerves were shattered. I would lie awake sometimes all night, and once I woke up from a doze feeling like I was about to smother, and thought my end was near. Then for months I was mighty careful about my eating, but I didn't seem to get any better until I took a friend's advice and started on Tanlac. , "Every day I got better, till now I enjoy tip-top health. I have a raven- ous appetite, perfect digestion, and can sleep like a top every night. Tan- lao gets my beet word every time." Tanlac is for saie by all good drug- gists. Accept no substitute.
