THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, JAN. 13, 1921. A SMILE IN EVERY DOSE OF BABY'S_0Wi\ TABLETS Baby's Own Tablets are a regular 'Joy giver to the little ones--they n ■fall to make the cross baby happy. (When baby is cross and fretful the mother may be sure something is the ^natter, for it is not baby's nature to be cross unless he is ailing. Mothers, if your baby is cross; if he cries a great deal and needs your constant attention day and night, give him dose of Baby's Own Tablets. They are a mild but thorough laxative ; which will quickly regulate the bowels and stomach and thus relieve constipation and indigestion, colds and simple fevers and make baby happy-there surely is a smile in every doi of the Tablets. Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Leather Made from Rabbit Skin. An Australian has discovered a process of making leather from rabbit skins, and a company has been formed at Sydney to turn the invention to practical use. It has established plant capable of handling 100,000 skins a week. The leather has already been used at Sydney in the manufacture of boot and shoe uppers, handbags, gloves and other articles. The rabbit fur is not wasted, but, being removed from the skins before the latter are tanned, utilized for making felt for hats and other purposes. i illness t The man immersed in material things and who lives only to make money, believes he can make it; knows that he can make it. He does not say to himself every morning, "Well, I do not know whether I can make anything to-day. I will try. I may succeed and I may not," He simply and positively asserts that he can do what he desires and then starts out to put into operation plans and forces which will bring it about. Scrubbing. Coal for You. 1 People demand clean coal. That is to say, it must not contain too much slate or other refuse. At the mines, therefore, the coal output, before being loaded on cars for market, is cleaned of such waste material as thoroughly as practicable. This is particularly difficult at the bituminous mines, where the coal, being "soft," falls so reaaiiy to dust a considerable quantity of fuel is lost In this dust yearly. This dust, or "slack," has a market value. But the latter is much lessen-. ed if it contains much foreign matter. 1 To separate out such refuse from coal that is in a finely divided state has seemed hitherto to be out of the question. A scientist at the United States Bureau of Standards, however, to be on the way to solving this problem. He mixes coal dust with 25 per cent, of crude oil, and, after thorough stirring, the coal takes the form of little pellets, with no dirt in them. Then he gets back all the oil by distillation, so that none of it is lost. The coal is pure, the oil is recovered; incidentally, certain by-products^ of value, such as benzol, are obtained. Pope's Seal Ring. The seal ring worn by the Pope and used by him on official documents which his signature is attached, has on it the engraving of a fish, with the cipher of the wearer. Since the thirteenth century every Pope has worn a ring of this' character, and it is shattered with a hammer when the wearer dies, to prevent its use ( forged document. Mending Torn Sweaters.

Surnames and Their Origin RICHARDS Variations -- Richardson, Richeson, Richey, Richie, Richart, Rickard, ---Rickards, Rickert, Ricker, Rickey, Rickett, Ricketts Riches, Riccardi, Ricciardi, Reichard. Racial Origin--Teutonic. Source--A given name. The Normans left their stamp not only on England but upon all Europe, for while they colonized by no means all the latter, there was a period in medieval times when the Norman arms had subdued about all of the European continent, and Norman rulers held sway in Italy, Spain, Prance and parts of what is now Germany, as well as in England. Nor did the Normans have to do more than merely rule most of these sections to leave among them, as i of their legacies, the given name Richard. Meaning "stern king," 'was naturally a name to appeal to such a warlike and dominating race as these Teutons of the middle ages, and one which naturally became usual among the various Norman families ruling in different sections of Europe. In turn, kings' names were generally popular among the populace in all lands. Hence it became a widespread given name first, and then a family name throughout most of Europe. Richeson, as well as Richards, is a shortened form of Richardson, and Richey, Ritchie, and Richie are shortenings of Richeson. Rickey and Ricketts and Ricket are developments of names formed from nicknames of Richard through the use of the diminutive ending "ot" Rickart, Rickards, Rickert and Ricker show German influences, while Riccardi and Ricciardi are natural pronunciations of the Italian tongue. Reichard is found in Alsace and Lorraine. ariatio GRIFFITH Sriffiths. --Welsh. Source--A g The family name of Griffith, or Griffiths, like that of Bethel, is one which is derived from a given name now seldom found, though why it should have fallen into disuse is one >i these mysteries about which one can only conjecture, for it is a name of the same type as John, which, in its various forms, is one of the most popular of given names in a dozen or more different tongues, and'always has been since the beginning of the Christian era In each land. While the name of John is from the Hebrew, meaning "God's grace," the name of Griffith or "Griffudh," to use , a spelling more significant of that in j the Welsh language, is derived from two Welsh words meaning "great j faith." It is only in comparatively modern times that Welsh family names really have been stabilized. They developed in much the same fashion as the English names which denote parentage, but the duration of one of the stages through which such names develop was much prolonged among the Welsh. As "John Richardson" in English meant "John, the son of Richard," so "Evan ap Griffudh" in Welsh meant "Evan (or John), the son of Griffith." But whereas among the English such a name came to be given not only to a man's sons, but also to his grandsons and great-grandsons, thus losing its purely descriptive character and becoming a family name, the initial stage of the family name was greatly prolonged among the Welsh. Thus the son of "Evan ap Grmudh" would be known as "Owen ap Evan," and his son in turn as "Griffudh ap Owen," and so on for several centuries instead of a few generations. Look, into it!

People with thin blood are much more subject to headaches than full-blooded persons and the form of*| anaemia that afflicts growing girls is almost always accompanied by headaches, together with disturbance of the digestive organs. Whenever you have constant or recurring headaches and pallor of the face, they show that the blood is thin and your efforts should be directed toward building up your blood. A fair treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do this effectively, and the rich red blood made by these pills will remove the headache. More disturbances to the health are caused by their blood than most peor. have any idea of. When your blood Impoverished, the nerves suffer from lack of nourishment, and you may troubled with insomnia, neuritis, ne algia, or sciatica. Muscles subject to strain are undernourished and you may have muscular rheumatism lumbago. If your blood is thin and you begin to show symptoms of any of these disorders, try building up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as the blood is restored to its n< mal condition every symptom of t trouble will disappear. There are more people who owe their • present state of good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills than to any other medicine, and most of them do not hesitate to say so. You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicjne or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for ?2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Winnowing in India. Among our early settlers it was customary to winnow beans, wheat, oats and other small grain by tossing the flailed grain in a blanket and lowing the chaff to blow away. In "a, says a correspondent to English weekly, the universal method of winnowing is primitive, but derfully effective. It probably dates back many thousands of years. The grain is first of all littered round a central pole on a fiat piece of hard, beaten ground. Two or mo are tethered to the pole by short rope and driven slowly round and round-it, thus "treading out the ," as we read of it in the Bible. The straw is then removed, leaving behind a mixture of grain and chaff, which is collected into a heap for On days when there is a moderate breeze, a man mounts a primitive wooden stool and shakes the mixture slowly from a grass tray or basket. The grain falls fairly straight down into a heap near the stool, but the chaff is carried by the wind and collects in a separate heap farther away. TAKE NOTICE.

MINARD'S LINIMENT CO., LTD. Yarmouth, N.S., Branch Factory, St. John's, Nfld. King George Changes U.S. Trooper's Rations. Sergeant Guyon of Troop B, Ameri-an Forces in Germany, has the distinction of having nad his ration changed by direct orders from King George, says a Coblertz despatch. When the American Army polo team from Coblenz was in England, recently, Guyon had charge of the ponies at Aldershot. The King visited the field was attracted by the ponies' blankets bearing the letters "A.F.G." He approached to inspect them and addressed Guyon: 'Well, how are you,getting along In England?" The British Tommies near by stand-g at attention were petrified by Guyon's reply: "Oh, pretty well, King, but say, this tea we have for breakfast is fierce--can't you fix it up so e can "have coffee?" The King laughed, and addressing le of his aides, said: "See to it that these men have coffee hereafter." And the Americans had coffee.

As an organization, the Scout Movement is neither militaristic in thought, form nor spirit, although it doas instill in boys the military virtues such as honor, loyalty, obedience and patriot- The purpose of the Boy Scout Movement is to develop character, initiative and resourcefulness in boys by cultivating their interest in the fascinating outdoor activities of the Scout program. It is in the wearing of the uniform and doing of things together, as Scouts, that they absorb the force and truth of the Scout law, which sta "A Scout is a friend to all and a brother to every other Scout." The Movement aims to supplement the various existing educational agencies, and to promote the ability in boys to do things for themselves and others. It is not the aim to get up a new organization to parallel in its purposes others already established. The opportunity is afforded other organizations, however, to introduce into their own programs unique features appealing to interests which are universal among boys. The method is summed up in the term Scoutcraft, and Is a combination of observation, deduction and handiness, or the ability to do things. Scoutcraft includes Instruction in first aid, life saving, tracking, signalling, cycling, nature study, campcraft, seamanship, woodcraft, chivalry, patriotism and many other subjects. This is accomplished in games and team play, and is pleasure, not work, for the boy. All that is needed is the out-of-doors, a group of boys and a competent leader. "Something £o do, . something to think about, and something to enjoy, with a view always to character building; for manhood, not scholarship, Is the first aim of education." The Boy Scout Movement is developed in practically every country of the world, as well as in all the overseas dominions and colonies of Great Britain and the United States. According to a pamphlet just issued by the Provincial Headquarters of the Boy Scouts Association, Bloor and Sher-bourne Streets, Toronto, there are in Canada alone some 22,692 registered Scouts, 4,288 Wolf Cubs (junior mem- rs), and 1,648 unpaid Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters who give at least 52 nights a year, and 24 half days or days to the personal leadership of their boys. Quite a citizenship contribution. 'ape's Diapepsin" Corrects Stomach.

A Scottish farmer, being elected school-manager, visited the village school and tested the intelligence of the class by his questions. His first inquiry was: "Now, boys, can any one of you tell me what naething is?" After a moment's silence, a small boy rose and replied, "It's what ye gi'ed me t'other day for haudin' horse!" The Wicked Ones. A minister was reading the Sunday evening lesson from the Book of Job. "Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out," he said, wnen suddenly the church was plunged into total darkness. "Brethren," said the minister, without pausing for a moment, "in view of the sudden and startling fulfilment of this prophecy, we will spend a few minutes in silent prayer for the electric light company." Life and Death. A minister, who guarded his morning study hour very carefully, told the new maid that In no circumstances were callers to be admitted--except, of course, he added, in a case of life and death. Half an hour later the maid knocked at his door. "A gentleman to see you, sir." "Why, I thought I tow you--" "Yes, I told him," she replied, "but he says it's a question of life and death." So he went downstairs--and found an insurance agent. Minard's Liniment Relieves Distemper The wheat crop in Canada this year is a "record," being nearly 87 million bushels above 1919.
