THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, MAY 5, 192L HOW f CAN BE OVERCOME Not by Rubbing, But by Enriching the Blood. Rheumatism is a disorder of the blood. It attacks people when the blood is overcharged with acid and imparities, thus setting up inflammation Jo the muscles and joints. Wet weather or cold weather may start the tortures of rheumatism, but it is not the cause. The cause is in the blood. Victims of this malady have every reason to fear the first dull ache in the limbs and Joints, followed by sharp pains through the flesh and muscles; these are the symptoms of poison In the blood, which will shortly leave the victim painracked and helpless. Liniments, hot applications .and rubbing may give temporary ease, but cannot possibly root the trouble out of the system. That can only be done by enriching the blood. This new blood drives out the poisonous impurities, and the rheumatism disappears. If you are a sufferer from this painful malady, begin the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and see how soon the pains and stiffness of the joints fade away. Among those who have benefitted by the use of these pills is Mr. Freeman Irving, Baxter Harbor, N.S., who says: "Some time ago my blood was in a terrible condition, leaving me very much run down, and with boils breaking out on my body. To add to my misery rheumatism set in, and I not only suffered greatly from the pain, but could only get around with the greatest difficulty. After trying several medicines without much sucsess, I decided to give Dr.' Williams' Pink Pills a trial, as they had been warmly recommended to me. I think I used nine boxes altogether, but the results met my every expectation, as both the boils and the rheumatism disappeared. Naturally I feel that I cannot praise the pills too highly." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50c a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, As Viewed From the Air.

The proper drying of boots and shoes after they have become soaking wet has much to do with their lasting qualities. The use of the proper kind of oil or grease will greatly increase the wear of shoe leather. When leather is wet, it is soft and therefore readily stretches out of shape. The stitches cut through the wet leather easily and wet soles and heels wear away rapidly. Great care must be taken in drying wet boots and shoes, for they often burn before it seems possible; moreover, if dried too fast, the leather becomes hard and the boots shrink out of shape. To dry wet boote properly, first wash off all mud or grit with tepid water, and, if they are heavy work boots, oil or grease them at once. Straighten the-*coumers, toes and uppers to the proper shape, and stuff the toes with crumpled paper, to hold the boots in shape while drying, the shoes in a place where they will dry slowly; wet leather burns very easily, and if it is placed where it is hotter than the hand can bear, it is almost sure to burn. The shoes should not be worn until thoroughly dry. Before oiling or greasing boots, brush them well, warm them carefully, apply warm oil or grease, and rub in with the palm of the hand. Work the grease well in where the sole joins the upper and along the edge® of the sole. Neat's-foot, cod and caster oils and talilow and wool grease, or mixtures of them, are the best. Castor oil is the most satisfactory oil for use on polished shoes. If applied lightly, the shoes may be polished at once, necessary, but it is better to wait few hours. A good mixture for waterproofing leather is: neutral wool grease, 8 ounces; dark petrolatum, 4 ounces; paraffin wax, 4 ounces. This should be heated, thoroughly mixed, and allowed to cool. Before using, it should be warmed to blood heat. Care must be taken when warming that it does not catch fire. My Prayer. O God, my God, where'er Thou art, Keep my beloved in Thy Heart; Fold in Thy Heart that heart so bright Heal him with Thy most gentle light. And since Thou mad'st forgetfulness, Forget whate'er Thou find'st amiss; And since Thou mad'st remembering, Remember every lovely thing. And then, my God, lean down and see . . .

Surnames and Their Origin CLAY Variations--Clayer, Claire, Cleyere, Racial Origin--English. Source--An occupation or locality. We are inclined to suspect that names like this are not what they Beem, particularly when we remember that such a name as Hay has nothing whatever to do with our word "hay." In this case, however, the suspicion proves unfounded, for the family name of clay, famous in American history of statesmanship, is in fact the same as our word clay. Clay was to the farmer of the die ages in England what nitrates are to the modern farmer. That is to say, Itwas most important as a fertilizer, and the people who owned clay deposits or traded in the commodity were almost certain to be persons of great importance in their communities, not to say of wealth. Not all who bear the name, however, are necessarily descended from clay owners or traders, though it is fair to assume that the majority are, for the name was often descriptive of the locality in which the bearer resided, as well as his occupation. In one of the old records an "Alice in le Cley" is referred to. A more usual form was "de la Cley." Of course the form "le Cleyere" nearly always represented the occupation. "Marie" was another name for clay. It is more common in the term "marling," which means mixing clay with the soil. Hence the family name Mar-ler, which, however, is not very com- CAHILL Variations--Lowe, Quick, O'Cahill. Racial Origin--Irish. Source--A given name. Historical record is the basis for including Lowe and Quick as variations of the Irish family name of Ca-hill, for, strictly speaking, they are not the same name at all, though both Lowe and Quick, when of Irish origin, are traceable back to the same per- The Irish form of the family name is "O'Cathail," which, it should be remembered, is not pronounced with a "th" like that in English, but more like the English spelling which actually is n sed in representing it. The Irish family name Is derived from the given name of "Cathal," which means "valor." For the most part the "O'Cathails" were descendants of or followers of Cathal, the son of Conor, nicknamed Conor na Luinge Luaithe," or "Connor of the Swifter Sailing Ship," a chieftain prominent in ancient Irish hts-tory. Subsequent to the English conquest of Inland the native families in many sections were compelled by law to adopt English surnames. As a rule they did not pick them at random, choosng rather an English translation of the Irish family name or an Eng-le which sounded as much as possilte like it. In :;his manner some of the O'Cathails adopted the name of Quick, from the Irish word of that meaning in the title of the historical "Conor na Luinge Luaithe," while others adopted tbe name of Lowe from its similarity in sound to "Luaithe." Blood Money. The Soviet Government offered re- j cently a reward of twenty million roubles (about $10,000,000) for the cap-j ture of Ossip Lietnyi. The gentleman with the strange ; name was formerly head of the Soviet I district c-f Tsaritsin, but, gstting j weary of Leninism, decided to strike out on his own. He therefore collect ed a band of Kalmuk brigands, and started a career of plunder and slaugh By thus infringing on the privileges of the Red Government, he earned the distinction of having set upon his head the highest price ever yet set < human being. Next in point of value comes $150,000 which the English Government of the time offered for the capture of the Young Pretender, in 1745. 'Since money was then worth at least three times its present value, the ward (which was never claimed) was a very respectable fortune. To come down to more modern times, the biggest sum in blood-money offered previous to the Great War that set on the head of the ex-Shah of Persia, in 1911. The ex-Shah organized an army a great scale, and swept down from Astrabad on Teheran. Having but paltry two thousand troops with which to defend themselves, the Persian Parliament offered a sum of $82,500 for the leader of the rebel army either dead or alive. Musolino, the celebrated Italian br: gand, comes fourth on the list. Ther was a sort of grand opera flavor about this gentleman, who for a long time terrorized a large district of Sicily, and in his leisure time composed ballads which his followers sang. The Italian Government, having made vain attempts to capture him, offered a reward of $6,000 for his body. This sum proving insufficient, the prize was gradually raised until at last it amounted to no loss than $40,000. Power Progress in Canada.

Increase in power development naturally accompanies expansion of Industries. The pulp and paper industry has undoubtedly tracted the greatest attention during the past year, but a large number smaller industries and the ever-creasing uses of electricity for power and domestic purposes, both ii and rural communities, are important factors in the increasing power demand. While the total water-pov installation of the Dominion at commencement of 1920 was some 500,000 h.p., the ultimate capacity of undertakings, either completed during iln|er past year or under actual construction, will increase this total by some 840,000 h.p. This figure includes the 500,000 h.p. Chippawa development of the Ontario Hydro-Electric er Commission. .Additional projects aggregating some 360,000 h.p. are also undeT consideration. The Province of Ontario leads with some 650,000 h.p. in undertakings, which are either under construction completed; Quebec shows 140,000 h.p.; the Maritime Provinces, 30,000 p.; Manitoba, 20,000 h.p. Undertakings which are projected for the near future aggregate some 200,000 h.p. in Quebec; 15,000 h.p. in Ontario and 20,000 h.p. in the Maritime Provinces, while one project alone in British Columbia involves some 125,000 h.p. A SPLENDID MEDICINE FOR THE CHILDREN Baby's Own Tablets are the best medicine a mother can give her little ones. They are a mild laxative which quickly regulate the bowels and stomach and are guaranteed to be entirely free from any injurious drugs. Concerning them Mrs. A. D. West, Lore-burn, Sask., writes:--"Baby's Own Tablets have given me more satisfaction than anything else I have ever given my children. They are easily taken; always work well and though I have given quite a few to my baby they seem to work as well row as at first, which is something other laxatives seldom do." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The lowering apparatus was the primitive rope and bucket. When they had finished their explorations they were hauled up in the bucket two time. As the last was slowly ascending, with a miner as a fellow passenger, he perceived unmistakable symptoms of frailty in the rope. "How often do you change your ropes, my good man?" he inquired, when about half way from the bottom of the awful abyss. "Every three months, sir," replied the man in the bucket; "and shall change this one tomorrow e get up safe." His First Chance. tor. 'Is there a man here,' she continued, folding her arms, "who has, day after day, got up in the morning, gone quietly downstairs, made the fire, cooked ■wn breakfast, sewed the missing buttons on the children's clothes, cleaned the pots and kettles, and swept the kitchen? If there is such a man in the audience let him rise up. I should like to see him." In the rear of the hall a mild-looking man in spectacles timidly arose. He was the husband of the eloquent speaker. This was the first chance he had ever had to assert himself. Quebec Supplies World With Asbestos. Asbestos is one of the better known of Canada's non-metallic minerals It is useful as an insulating material and enters into the production of many every-day appliances. It is found chiefly in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, the deposits there being the chief source of the world's ply. Asbestos is a fine, flexible fibre, of silky appearance. It occurs in fissures of the serpentine rock, which in this area is of a - dark green brownish color, so badly shattered that it is almost impossible to secure a block of the stone, six feet long. Veins of asbestos, sometimes from four to five inches in thickness, found with the fibres at right angles to the walls of veins. Properly speaking, asbestos is not mined, but is recovered by the open-cut method from quarries, similar to stone quarrying. The over-burden removed by steam-shovels. Owing to its non-conducting properties and to the fact that it is ri tant to common acids, asbestos has many and varied uses. It is largely used as insulation for heating plants and of refrigeration installations. Asbestos enters largely into the manufacture of electrical equipment, such as electric irons, toasters, fuse boxes, switchboards, etc. Other purposes for which it is used are as wall-board, sheeting under shingles for fire prevention, as gas logs in flre-piaces, as filaments for kerosene and gas mantels; and as table mats and utensil holders. The motor oar industry has become a large consumer of asbestos, for insulation purposes and for brake linings, etc. Owing to the facility with which asbestos fibre can be spun and woven, considerable use is made of it for filtering purposes in laboratories. Its resistance to the common acids renders it of special value for this purpose. The production of asbestos in the province of Quebec in 1920 amounted to 177,605 tons, of a value of $14,-674,372. By far the greater proportion of this is exported, mostly to the United States. Classified Advertisements. AOEWTS WASTED. MONEY ORDERS. Send a Dominion Express Money Order.

If 1 were a member of the Royal Family, says a London writer--and, for my peace, I am glad that I am not --I should keep a notebook and jot down all the humorous remarks that were made to me. As it is, most of these remarks are lost, and the few that are not have to be captured by attentive reporters and journalists. I was not present myself when the Queen visited a certain school in an industrial centre the other day, but I thank the brother-journalist who was on the spot and who preserved in his notebook this fragment. "Where do you live?" the Queen asked a little girl. "In Fuller's Rents." replied the child. "And where do you live?" The Queen laughed and replied: "Oh, not far from'Victoria Station-- you must come and see me with your mother some day." I wonder whether the invitation will be accepted?

The first time was in 1915, when tho ory "Single Men First" set the wedding bells ringing, and in 1919, when marriages which had been delayed by the war The 1920 boom is attributed to the after effects of the immediate wave of prosperity following the war.
