THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1921. 7 Surnames and Their Origin HENDERSON Variations--Anderson, Andrews, Hendry, Hendrie, MacHendry, MacHen-drie, McKendrick, Henrison, Hen-son Kendrick. Racial Origin--English, Scottish and Irish. Source--A given name. One thing is certain about all of the family names in this group. They are all derived from a given name. But which of three given names they trace back to, and through what language, are matters that only a genealogical research in the individual case could establish. Anderson and Andrews, of course, are quite definitely indicated, simply developments oner, who flourished in the fifteenth century. A branch cf the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe traces its name to one ".Eanruig Mor," a MacDonald chieftain who settled in Klnlochleven in the year 1011. The names MacKen- drick and MacHendry are also borne ' uI!0n which rests the happiness of the by branches of the Clan MacNaugh-1 people and the strength of the Nath The Strength of the Nation. Nearly three-quarters of a century^ ago, just six years after the first Public Health Act was passed, and the first Health Officer appointed in Great Britain, Benjamin Disraeli, talking over the heads of his colleagues in the British House of Commons, •said, "Public Health is the foundation who trace it to chieftains of theii own clan named Henry or Eanruig. Irish development of the name has been similar. Kendrick is a shortened form of MacKendrick.

To be tired after exertion is natural. Rest and food restore the body to normal after such fatigue. But to be tired all the time is a symptom of anaemic condition that will not be corrected until the blood is built up. Such an anaemic condition is so gradual in its approach and generally so lacking In acute pains that it is often difficult to persuade the sufferer to do anything for it. But it is not a condition that corrects itself. If the blood is not enriched the trouble will Increase. The nerves will be undernourished and neuralgic pains will follow.

My nerves seemed always on edge, and I found myself so weak that I sould hardly do any work. I suffered irom headaches and from pains in the back and under the shoulders, a id was often so sleepless at night that when morning came I felt as tired as when I went to bed. I was taking nedicine all the time, but it was (o-r.ig me no good. Then I read the testimonial of a man whose condition had been similar to mine, and who strongly recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I decided to give this medicine a fair trial, and when I had taken six boxes I felt much better. I continued taking the pills until I had taken six j more boxes, and I can only say I a glad I did so. as I am now enjoying t best cf health, and I advise all nn who feel run down to give these pii a good trial." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be c tained from any dealer in medicir or by mail at 50 cent.s a box or I boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. William Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The great immigration oi Ukrainians from Central Europe which has given Canada nearly 300,000 of her Western farm population was due to the constant subdivision of farms which were only fifteen acres to start with. These Ukrainians have become a great asset to Canada, and have at their expense erected four large colleges for higher education. Then again we owe our fine stock of seventy thousand Scandinavian settlers to the lack of sufficient land in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland. Have these foreign born made good Canadian citizens? Read "The Education of the New Canadian," by Dr. J. T. M. Anderson, of Saskatchewan, and you will say "Yes!" In one or two groups at flrst there was opposition to the learning of English, particularly among the older people, but is difficult to find sufficient teachers to meet the demands of the schools. And it is not only in the schools where you find the foreign born. More than half the students at he University of Manitoba a~re of 'oreign parentage. You find children of the foreign born as leaders in the professions and in the Cabinet of at least one Provincial Government. Canada is after all only repeating l a larger scale the welcome to and the assimilation of the foreign born which has characterized the history of the Mother Country. The Flemish weavers and the Huguenots who found refuge in England, are but a few of the foreign born immigrants who help-> build up British industry. Canada's chief industry is agriculture, and her agricultural prosperity is due in no small degree to the thrifty and industrious new Canadians who have come to the wide acres of the West from the over-crowded lands of Europe, and whose children to-day are proud to speak English i "The Maple Leaf Forever SPRING WEATHER HARD ON BABY The Canadian spring weather-day mild and bright; the next and blustery, is extremely hard on baby. Conditions are such that the mother cannot take the little one out for the fresh air so much to be desired. He is confined to the house which is so often over-heated and badly ventilated. He catches cold; lii.tle stomach and bowels become disordered and the mother soon has a sick baby to look after. To prevent this an occasional dose of Baby's Own Tablets should be given. They regulate the stomach and bowels, thus preventing or banishing colds, simple fevers, colic or any other of the many minor ailments of childhood. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville Ont.

The Medical Research Council is experimenting extensively with radium treatment for the cure of cancer, and the work has been intensified by an increase in fatalities from cancer in England, says a London despatch. The latest reports show that the three greatest enemies of mankind in London are bronchitis, cancer and tuberculosis, in the order named, with the last two running close together. The first heading includes influenza and other complaints resulting from bronchitis, so that the greatest perils are cancer and tuberculosis. Dr. Addison, Government Health Commissioner, added, however, that cancer is a disease of middle and old He said the average age of the population is increasing; therefore there are more people who escape *J diseases of childhood and vile to age when cancer attacks, and for that there are relatively more deaths from this disease.

With a population of less than tw persons to the square mile comparer! to England's six hundred, with only five per cent, of her rich agricultural land in the West under cultivation, with a heavy national Lftdebtedm ta and only a few people to pay the interest in the form of taxes, the reason why Canada is hungry for immigrants can readily be understood. Immigration is the human rain without which Canada must parch and wither up. If Great Britain had a large surpii s of farmers and farm hands, Canada might not have to invite immigrants from any other source. But Gr t Brita e-elur iltur but she has fewer farmers to spare than many oilier countries from which Canada in the past has drawn excellent settlers. This is illustrated ay the homestead entries. From 189" to 1919, only eighteen per cent, of the British immigrants made entry for homesteads in Western Canada as compared to -.wenty-seven per cent, of the American immigrants and twenty-nine per cent, of the foreign born from Continental Europe.

Canada's capital city has the distinction of having more Scouts per capita than any other city of 100,000 or more people in America. If the Boy Scouts of Ottawa were to join hands they would be able to encircle a very large section of their home city. To have saved three persons from death by drowning at three different times is an excellent record. It is held by Assistant Scoutmaster Edward-Walker (19 years old and a Scout since 1911) of Grimsby. He was recently recommended for one of the highest Boy Scout decorations. New Boy Scout troops are being formed in many parts of Ontario. The latest tov/ns to register new Scout organizations with Provincial Headquarters at Toronto are Port Colborne, Manotick, Merritton (two troops), Dunnville (a second troop), Whitby, Minden, Richmond, Fort William (a third troop), Trenton (a second troop), and about a dozen new troops in the cities of Toronto, Otta-Hamilton and London. Many other new troops are also in course of formation and will be chartered by the Provincial Council later.

One of the most extraordinary cus-in the..world is that observed by When a native woman wishes to display her. affection for a friend of her own sex, she proposes that the latter shall become her husband's wife on equal terms with herself. 'Tilis is tho greatest compliment she. can bestow," wrote the late Dr. •iElizabeth Macbean Ross, who spent some years as a doctor among the tribes of North Persia. She had the hand of many Persian husbands offered to her in this way. 'T must say it is somewhat embarrassing," she said, in her reminiscences, "when the gentleman himself happens to be present, and I have sometimes wondered what the effect on the wife would be if her generous offer were accepted. 'When I told them it appeared to me a curious thing that one wife should select another, I was informed that it presented many advantages. ich better for us to choose our husband's wife; then we get someone with whom we can agree.'

"And what," he was asked, "was the complainant shouting when y< heard him?" "He was shouting, 'Tom!

"Quito so," said the man who advertised the car, "but surely you are not in the market for it?" "No," was the reply, "but I only live across the street and I also want to sell my car. And there would be need of my spending my money for advertisement if after the people were through looking at your car you could Just send them across the street look at my car." There Was None to Spare. The skipper of a small steamer that ran up and down the Clyde River managed one- day at low tide to get his vessel on a mud bank. After he had exhausted his entire vocabulary in describing unfavorably the tide, his steamer and his crew, he leaned gloomily over the side to wait with what patienco he could muster for the tide to rise. While so engaged he saw a girl approach the river, swinging a bucket in her hand and obviously intending to get some water. The wrath of the skipper flamed up anew. Leaning farther over the cide and shaking his fist at her, he said: "My assie, if you tak' one drap o' water oot here till I get afloat again, I'll warm yer ear for't!" MONEY ORDERS.

An interesting patriotic ceremony occurred in Paris recently when the first distribution was made of a legacy written many years ago by a French Alsatian, who in Ids will left a grant to be distributed among five soldiers who especially distinguished themselves In the great war that was to restore Alsace-Lorraine to France. The name of the Alsation was Metz-ger. He died In 1902, but felt so sure cf the restoration of the lost provinces that he gave in trust to the town of St. Germain the five legacies, each of 800 francs. Each of the five men who received the gift had the Medaille Militaire and the Legion of Honor. Two of them still are In the army, one is an upholsterer and two are now farmers. His Hearing Restored. The invisible ear drum Invented by A. O. Leonard, which is a miniature megaphone, fitting inside the ear entirely cut of sight, is restoring the hearing of hundreds of people in New York City. Mr. Leonard invented this drum to relieve himself of deafness and head noises, and it does this so successfully that no one could tell he is a deaf man. It is effective when deafness is caused by catarrh or by perforated, or wholly destroyed natural drums. A request for information to A. O.
