7 THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, JAN. 27, 1921: FRAGILE, PALE AND MISERABLE The Melancholy State of Thousands of Bloodless Children and Young Girls. How often do you hear the remark, "She Is very delicate?" How often It means that some young woman is living In misery, suffering from periods of prostration, dizziness, ioss of appetite and disordered digestion. Headaches afflict her at intervals; pain in the back and limbs follow any exertion. She is never really well. This fragile state of health, this lack of vitality, calls for prompt treatment. The blood must be nourished and made strong enough to vitalize the system that is so lacking in energy. Jn such cases Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Jhave proved remarkably successful in making the new, rich, red blood neces-jsary in restoring tone to the system. jMrs, L. M. Duncan, South Mountain, :Ont„ tells of the wonderful benefit Dr. [Williams' Pink Pills made in the case of her young daughter. She says: "It Is only right that I should let you know of the good derived from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills by our girl of eleven years. She was always very ithin and not gaining in weight. Her 'appetite was poor and she had no desire for wholesome food. Finally we decided to give her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After taking one box, she went away on a three weeks' vacation, taking three boxes of pills with her, which she took regularly while she was away. When she returned home we were surprised and delighted to see how well »he looked, and to find that she had gained seven pounds in weight. She had a much better color and her appetite had improved #0 that she was always ready for her meals. She continued using the pills until she had *taken seven boxes, and the great improvement they made in her condition was noticed by many around here. J. can only add that I believe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a splendid medi- The best time to begin taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills is the moment you feel the least bit out of sorts. The eooner you do so the sooner you will regain your old time energy. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or Vix boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

As we came into the furnace the stoker was turning away from the glory hole, through which he had been looking into the great furnace. The glory hole is a little peephole to which the stoker can put his eye and examine the fire without opening the big doors and thus losing some of the heat. Seeing us with our guide, he said, "Would you like to look at the hottest place in the world? Do not look too long, for it might blind you for a One after another we put an eye to the hole and tor a moment looked into a brightness like that of the sun. When we turned away, everything for a moment was black. One after another as we filed the room, we remarked, "Why, I am still looking through the glory hole! I can see into the furnace just as plainly as I could when I had my eye to the hole. It makes a spot of light everywhere I look. I did not suppose anything could be so bright as that." And as I listened to their talk, I remembered the words, "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof." If the brightness of the furnace and of the sun are too much for our eyes, what must it be to behold the glory of God, who gives light to the heavenly city! God does not now let us look into that glorious place; but sometimes He holds his hand over us, a3 He held !t over Moses in the cleft of the rock and gives us a glimpse of the glory. And how wonderful it is--the glory of God! There is nothing with which we can compare it. It is brightness that would hide the light of the sun as the risen sun hides the stars. Can it be that God intends his children to be glory holes through which others can catch a glimpse of His grandeur and the glory, of His heavenly abode? If we are true children of God, surely something of the brightness of purity and love and holiness will shine through us, so that others may at least "take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus." The Home That Wins. I Right into the hands of every father, the Boy Scout movement puts an insurance policy for his boy's future. Scouting is not something outside the home to turn you boy over to, and forget about. Scouting is the most actice force ever let loose in the world for welding father and son together into a winning team for home and country. Every father does not realize that the average Ontario boy is awake 5,500 hours a year. You put him in school for 900 of these hours and everlastingly keep after him to make good. You place him\ in church and Sunday School for perhaps another 100 hours and let him know you are looking for , results. You keep him around home I and under your watchful eye for prob-I ably 1,500 of his waking hours and then turn him loose for his play--3,000 I hours a year--and that's the end of it. Why? Because you are past the p^y age, or think you are. Yet right here, in these hours he is away from home and other wholesome influences, is where your boy forms his character and needs you most. Scouting gives you, as a father, a complete playtime programme through which you can win your son for 1^. Scouting wins, and the home tjft "puts in" Scouting wins too. j Scouting is the manliest programme ----' devised for a boy. As associ- members of The Boy Scouts As-ation fathers unite with their boys j in Scouting. They become pals with their sons and "home scoutmasters" backing up the regular scout leaders. The home with Scouting in it wins. If Scouting is not in your home, a letter addressed to the Provincial Headquarters of the Boy Scouts Associa-ion, Bloor and Sherbourne Streets, Toronto, will bring back a reply telling how you can help to put it there. Canada's Indian poetess was Pauline Johnson (a daughter of Chief William Johnson of the 'Six Nation Indian Reserve, near Brentford), who wrote several volumes of poems and gave recitals of her work.

In the classification of the Norman-French contribution to the nomenclature of the English must be included Jhts group of. family names. In a sense they may be regarded having been family names a;; the )lma of the Norman Invasions, -.hough It is certain that only a minority of ^he men who bore it as a desigration pt the localities from which the;- came actually bequeathed it to, the.r descendants. In a sense, too, the name of Si u:lair Jnay be regarded as Scottish, for it is the name of one of the clans of Scotland. But the Scottish name is subject to the same explanation 01 Nor-taan-French origin as the English. Like many Scottish names, including those of several of the clans, it. :s not 1 The forms St. Clair and St. Clare jrf course, explain the source The lorms Sinclair and Sinkler are but Variations in spelling which have developed from spellings which originally were by no means similar. There \s a "Thomas de St. Clare" refei ed to }n the ancient writs ot Parliament, )md the name occurs various!} a the Md documents as "St. Clare and-"St. piair." The Scottish clan name traces back lo a follower of William the Conqueror, a "Comte de Sancto 1 riaro," through his son William, who in the reign of King David I. of Scotland, attached himself to that monarch's [court. Through grants of land 1 t first, and intermarriage later, the Sinclair i grew into the clan system of the thern Goels as a distinct entity, and won the recogivfWfth of King Haeo VI. of Norway, to its sway over Orkney. Other old strongholds of the clan were Caithness and Stratherne. MOONEY Variations -- O'Mooney, O'Moynagh, Money. Racial Origin--Irish. Source--A given name. The family names in the Mooney group, like virtually all Irish surnames, are derived from a given name, and originally bore either the prefix "O" or "Mac," signifying in the Irish tongue "descendant of," and came into being first as tribal or clan names, being adopted by all the followers of the chieftain's banners as well as by his own family. / Strangely enough, one of the variations of this family name of Mooney, or "O'Maoinaigh," which Is the ancient Irish form, comes very close in its English meaning to the meaning of the given name from which the family name is developed. This variation is Money. The given name ia the ancient Irish was "Maoinach," from the Irish word "maoine," meaning 'wealth." The domination of English custom and language, as well as English lav, in some instances compelled at various periods the Anglicizing of Irish family names, - and the existence of such wisely varying forms as Mooney, Moynag£ and Money is traceable to the fact '.hat the English and Irish alphabets do not parallel each other completely, and the pronunciation of the Irish diphthongs is quite different from English. Family names of the Mooney group are common, both in Ulster and in King's county, having been derived from different chieftains of the same KEEP LITTLE ONES WELL IN WINTER Winter is a. dangerous season for the little ones.

King Nomolos was the wisest of kings who has ever reigned, and every Tuesday from seven to nine-thirty of the evening he would distribute wisdom to the most foolish of his subjects'. One day there came to his court a very foolish man. He had ten women running after him. all demanding that he should marry them, and it was not law in the country that he should take unto himself more than one wife, and the foolish fellow dare not face the wrath of nine even to gain the favor He was not dreadfully keen on rying even one. ing. "Let me think," said the king, moving his crown, and calling upon his two scratchers-in-chief to scratch His head for him. And having thought for the space of three asterisks the great monarch commanded: "Let the ten women step forward and give their ages." Silently, and one by one. the ten women disappeared.

The best we have seen on this sub ject is an article by Lyman Carriei in the American Journal of Agron "A silo was used as a grain-pit ir the dry Mediterranean countries before the Christian era. From this original structure we get the name silo applied to the structure used today in preserving green forage. "The modern practice is traced directly to Germany and Hungary and is supposed to be the application of the principle of preserving sauerkraut. The fact that the Germans used salt in making their first sour hay lends weight to this opinion. "The first silos were pits dug ir the ground and made wider at the top than at the bottom. Into these pits green grass w-as packed and tramped down by five or six men. Salt was added at the rate of one pound to 100 pounds of grass. "The first attempt to ensiie corr was made by a German sugar manufacturer in 1861. The French and Germans then persevered in similar attempts but met with varying degrees of success. A Frenchman, Count Poederer M. Peret, through his vestigations and efforts, earned the Legion of Honor and the popular n of 'Father of Ensilage.' Introduction into America came about through articles in agricultural papers. • In 1891 Prof. F. H.
