THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE. ONT., THURSDAY, SEPT. 22, 1921. 7 WOULD i\0T BE WITHOUT BABY'S 0Wi\ TABLETS Mrs. W. Beesley, Mille Roche, Ont, writes: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for the past eight months and would not be without them. I used them for indigestion and teething and my baby is cutting his teeth without any trouble whatever. I can highly recommend the Tablets to other mothers." What Mrs. Beesley says thousands of other mothers say. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach, thus driving out constipation and indigestion and making teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Good Luck Follows-- Thrift. Dead-in-earnestness? Downright hard work.

There is coal enough in the province of Shansi, in north China, to supply the world for 2,000 years, and vast iron deposits close by. The Yang-tse-Kiang River pours, when high, a million and a half tons of water a minute into the Yellow Sea. The great cause of the famines east of Pekin and north of the delta of the Yellow River is a westerly gale that may blow night and day for four whole months without ceasing. The fertility of China is due to the loess constituting the soil of the Great Plain from Pekin to the Yang-tse-Kiang basin. This loess is a yellow soil. Loess has self-sufficiency of fertility beyond any other known soil. The loess can be powdered in t hands, but is firm enough for entire communities to carve out apartments in which they live comfortably. Cliffs of loess occur. single mile of loess soil in Shantung province wil support 3,072 people, 256 donkeys, 256 cattle and 512 pigs-average of twelve individuals, one donkey, one cow and two pigs all on single farm of two and a half acres. tring which will be operated in Ontario by the Orange Crush Bottlers, Limited, organized under a provincial charter, with a capital of $2,000,000. Increased production from No. 1 colliery is expected by the Dominion Coal Company as a result of the opening of a new shaft known as No, 26, which will tap the famous Phalen seam nearer to its working parts, greatly reducing the haul to the surface, says a despatch from Blace Bay, N.S. The new mine will be in operation early this fall. Minard's Liniment Lumberr Ralph Waldo Emerson Said Whenever you are sincerely pleased, yon are nourished. All healthy things are sweet-tem- Genius works in sport. The best part of health is a fine disposition--it is more essential than talent, even in works of talent. It is fine souls that serve us, what we call fine society. Mankind divides itself into two classes--benefactors and malefactors. The second is vast, the first a handful. The frost that kills the harvest of a year saves the harvest of a century, by destroying the weevil or the locust. We acquire strength from the forces we overcome. Surnames and Their Origin O'SHAUGHNESSY Variations--O'Shaghnassy, O'Shaunes-sy. Racial Origin--Irish. Source--A given name. Like virtually all of the Irish family names, the first use of this i a surname was to designate The Gaelic form of the name is "O'Seachnasaigh." And what is the proper pronunciation of this? Well, it's difficult for an English-speaking "O'Cullin" is the Gaelic form of the clan name from which the Anglicized family names of Cullen, O'Cullen, Cul-lin and O'Cullin have been developed. The founder of the clan, a chieftain by the name of "Cullin," was a great-, grandson of "Core," a contemporary solutely, but "O'shaw-nesch," with the of st patrick. Hence it will be seen accent on the "shaw" and the final tnat this famiIy or clan name ig of )w spelled Kinelee, in County Gal- Variati CULLEN ns--O'Cullen, Cu Origin syllable a rather vague o between the sound of "seh" and "say." buik of the famjiy ' before an "e" or "i" in Gaelic takes the sound of "sh." The "O'Seachnasaigh" became a clan about the Tear 1100 A.D., becoming known by that name as the followers of a chieftain of the O'Connor line named "Seachnasach." The O'Connors of Ireland held a position in the ancient history of that land not dissimilar to that of the Clan Aplin in Scotland. So many of its divisions became full-fledged clans themselves. Thus, as many of the Scottish clans trace back to the Clan Alpin, so in Ireland there were many closely associated with the O'Connors, including Ions, and the Irish Forbes, not to be confounded with the Scottish clan of that name. The stronghold of the O'Shaughnessys was "Cineol Aodha," great antiquity, much older than the s of England, Scotland and the Continent. Indeed, the ancient Irish records give this chieftain "Core" the credit of being the ancestor of the Scottish Stewart clan, and hence of the Stewart line of English monarchs. According to the fragmentary histories this "Core" " his youth, where he married a daughter of the Pietish king. One of hi sons, "Main Leamhna," remained i that country and founded the line of the "Mor Mhair Leamhna," the ' maOrs" or the "Gre^t Steward: Lenox. Core returned to Ireland, but was never converted to Christianity, Monarch, the saint himself and a number of bishops, to codify and classify the historical records of the High Kingdom of Ireland. The two shipments of Canadi chilled beef which recently left t port of Montreal for England with the idea of trying out the British market, are now reported from the other side to have met with a splendid rece'p-tion, the meat being found to be in excellent condition and of first-class quality. A considerable trade was done in this business prior to 1914, but during the war only frozen meat was carried by the British Government, and the success with which this renewal shipment was met augurs for future trade. A farm, comprising 1,120 ai growing crops and machinery, situated in the Gull Lake district, Saskatchewan, sold recently for the sum of $84,-000. It was a typical example of agricultural progress in prairie districts. Since the district was settled the gospel of mixed farming, scientific dairying and pure bred stock raising has been preached, and has made the district a leading one in Saskatchewan. Canada's wheat crop this year is estimated at 288,493,000 bushels, based on conditions of July 31, against 263,-189,300 bushels last year, according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Other estimates are: oats, 457,544,000 bushels; barley, 58,027,000 bushels: rye, 11,707,100 bushels; flax seed, 6,-930,000 bushels and potatoes 99,937,000 bushels. tm of $50,000 has, been advanced by the Dominion Government for the completion of the Banff-Windermere road. This means that work .will be rushed so long as weather per-id that by the end of the year : will have been completed, leaving twenty miles to be finished in 1922. About five hundred carloads of graded potatoes will be sent to outside markets from Edmonton and surroun-ing country this season. The potatoe )p for the entire province of Alberta expected to be the largest of any province in the Dominion this year in proportion to acreage planted, which estimated at about 43,900 acres. Four tons of raw furs with an approximate value of $350,000, have reached the Edmonton headquarters Northern Tradin^ Company. The furs constitute last seaso.

Plans First on the Appetite List ONCE the crispness and charm of Grape-N tits have been tested by the family, there's one item that stands prominently out in the marketing list thereafter. That's Grape-Nuts. The twenty hours of continuous baking have produced, from the natural richness of wheat and malted barley, a food that is uniquely sweet with sugar developed from the grains themselves, and whose crispness and flavor make a delightful appeal to every member of the family. And Grape-Nuts is soundly nourishing --a great builder of health and strength. Served with cream or milk, as a cereal for breakfast or lunch, or made into a pudding for dinner. See that your marketing list includes this delicious, economical food, today. All grocers. | "There's a Reason" for Grape-Nuts way by the Quebec Division of the Manufacturers' As-sociatin for a "Made-in-Canada" campaign, to be conducted at the sixty local fall fairs, and the four provincial fairs during this autumn. A member of the staff of the provisional division will visit the fairs, distributing "Made-in-Canada" cards, with literature showing the advantages of buying Canadian-made goods and furnishing employment for Canadians. Your Tell-Tale Thumb. The shape of a person's hand is an Index to his character. What men are so fond of calling a "useful" girl--one who is capable ln the domestic sphere--often has by no means a pretty hand. It is broad in the paelm, with strong heavy fingers and a thick-set thumb. On the other hand, the girl whose hands are pretty, with delicate tapering fingers and narrow palm, is apt to be the kind who does not make a suitable wife for the average young man. The girl with plump, dimpled hands has a warm and affectionate disposition, but is not always capable. A man's hand may betray him, especially if he has a thumb that is flat j -- the palm side. This denotes fickle-1 ?eSfo,v rfnv Paris- Have You Two Friends? Some fifteen or more years ago, hen a kid at college, I heard a very poor speaker make what I considered a "very, very poor remark that I have r forgotten. Said this dub of a speaker: "If you reach the age of forty and have as many as three friends on horn you can really bank, you will be Three! Why, suffering cats!

And he is not sure that he is fair in making this statement, for the one he can bank on is Take an inventory of your real friends. Not those who call you by your first name and fuss over you when you do them favors, pay their bills, or give them business, or contribute to their pleasure, but folks who come up to the definition of old Theo-phrastus: True friends visit us in prosperity only when invited; but in adversity they come without invitation.--New Success.

"Oh, we've just been planin' grocery store and everybody was something," replied Freddy. "And I was the cheese." No Need for Thanks. Henry had always been kept up to the scratch in the matter of grace at meals, and no exception was made when he was taken to a restaurant for tea one afternoon. After they had been served, Henry' mother said: "Now say grace, Henry. Henry looked up in surprise. "But," he objected, "we're paying for this, aren't we?" His Contribution.

"It dees to succeed, but I can't afford to anything. However, you have my good will." "Thank you, sir!" said the clergy-an. "If that is all you feel you are able to give, just sign your name here, nd write 'good will' after it, and then the townspeople will know what your gift is." / The paper was signed, but the merchant put something more than "good wil." against his name. You cannot divorce the two great Commandments. Forgetting God is the straight way towards forgetting your neighbor. And ignoring the needs and the rights of your neighbor is an easy way of forgetting God. DRUG CLERK PUTS TANLAC TO TEST PUT ME IN SPLENDID HEALTH, HE SAYS. Feels It His Duty To Tell Others How It Has , Helped Him. "Tanlac has been of such benefit to me that I feel it my duty to make the facts known to everybody," Baid Herbert H. Knapton, well-known drug clerk, 15 Epworth Ave., London, Ont. "As the result of an accident about three years ago I was laid up for seven weeks and got into a very rundown condition. My stomach was so upset that I had to go on a special diet because of indigestion and was also troubled with constipation. I had so much neuralgic pain in my shoulder that I could get no rest at night without taking sedatives to induce sleep. "I must confess that I did not think Tanlac could.help me, but a friend of mine was so benefited by it that I gave it a trial. I was both surprised and gratified by the result. "It quickly gave me an excellent appetite and so improved my digestion that I could eat whatever I pleased without suffering any bad after effects and it also relieved my constipa- "I haven't an ache or a pain in my body now and ever since I finished the third bottle of Tanlac I have enjoyed splendid health. I've been praising and recommending it ever since." Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere. Adv. The Flanders Poppy. The Flanders poppy, Which became so well known through Colonel Mc-Crae's poem, "In Flanders Fields," has been declared to be an undesirable immigrant to Canada. Beautiful the flower undoubtedly is, and for many Canadians so full of sacred associations that we should be glad to see it growing everywhere here. But Investigation has shown it to be an objectionable weed, difficult or impossible to control, since it sows itself persistently, and is therefore likely, if introduced here, to become as objectionable as the daisy, the hawk-weed or the thistle. Ask for N d's and take no other. "Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow."--Abraham Lincoln. At the Yarmouth Y.M.C.A.
