Very targe etoefc always en dBreakey's Used Car Wartet The Bad Boy Proposition. There are no bad boys. We make this statement confidently, knowing that it will be endorsed by educators and all who have spent their lives in working on the boy problem. We will defend it in spite of all the broken windows, stolen apples and canned dogs in Christendom. There are weak boys, boys who lack resourcefulness, beys whose Ideas of right a«d wrong are distorted, but there never was a boy who did not naturally--con-ciously or unconsciously --do things that he believed to be right. The trouble comes when parents, teachers and others who are responsible for the youngster's development fail to fill his time with useful activity. The forces of nature must oporate. We cannot .stop them while we take our afternoon nap. The wind must blow, the water must flow, and the boy's brain and muscles must work. We put a wind-mill in the path of the wind and it draws water as joyously as it upsets the chairs on the verandah and whisks the family wash from the line. We put a water-wheel in the stream and it grinds the grain with the energy which it could otherwise dissipate in washing out its banks and rooting out the trees. These things we know; yet we tco often permit youthful energy, our most Valuable asset, to run riot. We even attempt to dam it and then complain because it slops over and does da; age. The Boy Scout programme is the mill in the stream of boyhood. It provides something useful for every boy to do every minute. Knot, tying, first aid and bandaging, signalling, trailing and tracking, fire-building and extinguishing, camp cooking, swimming, earning and saving money, hiking, map making and map reading, practical study of flowers, plants and trees, earth and sky, are included in the Scout's programme for the year. After these a much broader field Is opened, Including foundation work in all the principal trades and professions. A boy's first idle moment is the starting point of whatever trouble he makes in the world. It is also the big opportunity of the man who is wise enough and patriotic enough to turn natural energy into constructive channels. Already over 250 Scoutmasters are directing the activities of some 9,000 boys in the province of Ontario, and the movement is only a little more than ten years old. Men Interested in devoting part of their leisure time to this "nation building" work should write to Boy Scout Headquarters, Bloor and Sherbourne Sts„ Toronto, for further information. A WOMMSMGHT TO GOOD HEALTH Most Troubles Afflicting Women Are Due to Poor Blood. To every woman belongs the right to , enjoy a healthy, active life; yet nine | out of ten suffer from some form of | bloodlessness. That is why one sees | on every side pale, thin cheeks, dull | eyes and drooping figures--sure signs of headaches, weak backs, aching j limbj and uncertain health. All weak I women should win the right te be well I by refreshing their weary bodies with ! the nc-iv, rich, red blood that promptly j transforms them into heaithy, attrac-| five women. This new, *red blood is ' supplied by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, ; which reaches every organ and every I nerve in the body. Through the use ! of these pills thousands of women , have found benefit when suffering I from anaemia, indigestion, general I weakness and those ailments from I which women alone suffer. Among le many women who tell of the good I Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done I them is Mrs. L. Hicks, Round Hill, I N.S., who says: "I became very much j run down in health; my blood seemed | weak and watery, my strength failed, j and I was so easily tired that my work ! was a burden. I had often read about j Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decidted [ to try them, and I can truly say that after using three boxes I found myself gaining, and under a further use ' of the pills all my old-time rnergy and ,'itality was restored. Out of my own ;xperience I can strongly recommend his medicine."

The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none. The thunder of business often sours the milk of human kindness. Yesterday has gone, to-morrow may never come; do it to-day. Prefer diligence before idleness, unless you esteem rust before bright-Education is life's apprenticeship; its chief aim is to teach us how to think. Success is a thing that some are content to envy in others--and seme achieve for themselves. When a man hasn't a good reason for doing a thing, he has one good reason for letting it alone.. If you lack confidence in your own judgment, you can't blame other people if they share the feeling. The man who wins is the man wh< holds on until he can hold on nc longer-^and then doesn't give up.

Judging from some specimens quoted not long ago in the Journal des Debats, the Japanese employ a wealth of metaphor when advertising their war.r.s. A Tokio stationer announces that "the paper I sell is as solid as the hide of an elephant." A fishmonger promises to deliver all orders at customers' houses with the rapidity of a shot fired from a rifle. "My extra special vinegar," a grocer dechires, "is as sour as the tongue of the most shrewish mother-in-law." A large multiple shop begs the public to "come into our stores. You will meet with an overwhelming welcome. Our assistants are as amiable as a father who is trying to marry off his daughters without giving them any dowry. You will always be greeted as cordially as a spell of sunshine coming toward thc close of a pouring wet day. FROM HERE &THERI Classified Advertisements. AGENTS WANTED. Oh, For One Fault.

E Japan The first national ce was taken last month. t dates Surnames and Their Origin SLOANE Variation--Sloan. Racial Origin--Irish. Sloan is one of the most ancient family names in the wcrld. dating', as It does, to a period shortly after the time of St. Patrick In Ireland, some Six or seven centurie.; before there was any real tendency toward the formation of family r.fines in England, and.indeed, some four cr live centuries before many of the Irish clan names It was, like virtually all Irish clan or family names, derived from a given name by the addition of a word designating "descendants cf" or followers of." Such names were commonly formed at any time when a chieftain achieved a sufficient following and respect to give him the proper power in that peculiar social organization ot the ancient Celts in which bloo<!.-ties were the chief bonds. It was in this manner that the name of Sloane originated, on the rise to prominence of one "Siollan," son of "Eoghau Caoch." The, given name of '"Siollan" means in Irish "the skinny one" or "the thin one," and it was probably given as a lesu't of characteristics displayed in the new-born infant. The clan name was formed by the combination of this name, infected in the possessive case, with the word "ua" or "ui," signifying descendants or followers. This word later came to be designated simply by "O." Thus, the Irish form of the clan or family name is "O'Stollan." _ Sloane, of course, is but the Anglicized version of it, which in the course of transition from one tongue to the other, has lost one of ths syllables and changed in spelling considerably, though the difference in pronunciation is not so great as might be imagined. COOPER Variations--Cowper, Copper, Turner. I Racial Origin--English, j SOURCE--An occupation. ' The family name of Cooper is really | the same as our modern word cooper, i used to designate a barrel maker, and | the faruily names of Cowper and Cop-ir are but variations of it. It does not follow that tire original 3opeis. Cowpers and Coppers, how--er, were all barrel-makers. In fact, iginal coopei Garden Seeds Needed.

They did not their products from staves and hoops. On the contrary, they worked mostly with the medieval ancestor of the modern turning-lathe, thus narrowly eseapr.is bestowing the name of Turner upon their particular posterities, as did others of their co-workers. Our modern word "cup" is. so to speak, the first cousin of the modern word "cooper," and really, is a more direct descendant of the medieval They made them for all pur- ; and i all s t of a great many different materials, though for the most part j>ut of wood, though sometimes out of metal. Chaucer has a passage which explains that wood r?as a material they often worked in because it was easily turned. Entries of such names as "Adam le Kuppere" and "Richard le Cuppere," as well as the forms "le Cuppere" and "le Cowper" and "le Ccopere, are to be found in the tax and census records which have come down to us from medieval times in England. STORMY WEATHER HARD ON BABY The stormy, blustery weather which we have during February and March is extremely hard on children. Conditions make it necessary for thn mother to keep them in the house. They are often confined to overheated, badly ventilated rooms and catch colds which rack their whole system. To guard against this a box of Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in the house and an occasional dose given the baby to keep his stomach and bowels working regularly. This will not fail to break up colds and keep the health of the baby in goo'd condition till the brighter days come along. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville. Ont. After the Storm. )ne of the soldiers of the R; rision.
