If you took minute daily doses of some poisonous drug, no particular effect might be noticed until accumulation of the poison made its action evident. Yet how many realize that poisonous substances are formed cOnstantly during digestion and the preparation of the food waste for elimination. If the bowels act regularly and thoroughly, these poi- ' sons are eliminated. But if constipation exists, there results stagnation of intestinal waste, germs multiply; and poisons are formed and™arried by the blood to every cell of the body. The victim of self poisoning commits suicide by inches. Pills, castor oil, léxative waters and salts only force and irrie tate the bowels, and make constipation a habit. Nujol works on an entirely new principle. Instead of forcing or irritating the system, it simply ns the food waste. This enables the many tiny Iwi Sofiera walls of the intestines, contracting and expanding in their normal way, to squeeze the food waste along so that it passes naturally out of the system. : Nujol thus prevents constipation because it. helns Nature maintain easy, thorough bowel evacuation at retails inten vals--the healthiest habit in the world.

Some Specialize In Calves, Sheep or | Pigs, Others Generali -- Ranks | Accept Notes of Juniors In Regu { lar Business Way. ! "(COREributed By Ontario Départment al Agriculture, Toronto.) | ' HE Boys' and Girls' move ment bids fair to rival > 8¢hool fair work as the mast s popular feature of agricul- tural extension work. Perhaps this {8 dus to the fact that boys ahd girls literally love animal pets -- things | that are alive and respond to care | and kind treatment. Moreover, be cause they can call the calf, pig, or sheep, their very own, and because some day they hope to seil thelr ani- mal at a prof} and spend the money | as they wish, it sustains and anim®tes | their interest. . Wherever these live stock clubs | have been organized the representa- tives have the active support and eo- operation of the live stock men in the community. This augurs well for the future of Ontario's junior farme- ers. The boys are commencing early | in life to get into the pure-bred live stock business and it is confidently hoped that they will receive every encouragement from their parents | and others. The first live stock club for boys {and girls came jnto being in the early months of 1919. Counting those which were formed previous to the period covered by this report and ! those that were organized in 1919, there are 6 calf clubs, 10 pig clubs, 2 sheep clubs and 2 live stock eclubs or a total of 20 boys' and giris' live | stock clubs with a membership of 450. This is a small beginning, but | " | formation and the work will soon | spread to every county in the pro- vince. i In the purchasing of .an'mals, arrangements are usually made with | the local banks to advance the | necessary funds on the security of a | note from the boy or girl for a defl- nite period at a fixed rate of interest. ! These notes must be endorsed to the | satisfaction of the bank by their par- | ents or guardians. As a rule nothing | but plire-bred animals are purchased | and these are registered in the name | of the boy or girl owner. As a pro- | tection, the animals are insured until such time as the notes are paid at the bank. Both Beef and Dairy Calf Clubs | have bgen organized. The Dufferin | County Shorthorn Calf Club has| regulations similar to these of other calf clubs formed in the province but | there was no special day set apart | for distribution of the stock. | In other Shorthorn Calf Clubs | organized, heifers from 8-15 months | have been distributed to the memd | bers. The initial cost in this case | was not so great, yet a greater | length of time will elapse before any | | returns are secured. | In some of the Shorthorn and | Holstein calf clubs, auction sales | were held in ordér that the members | might secure money to pay off | their notes. The members had the | privilege of bidding in their own animals {f they wished. An auction | sale for olub work has its advan-! tages and disadvatnages. 1f the ani- mals turh out satisfactorily, they | should be kept in the members' | hands. It defeats the very object for which it wad organized, and hence these now being fofifiéd are not con- | sidering the Juestion of auction sales | at™all. There is a point in favor of | auction sale, and that is that it gives | the club a gréat desl of publicity, | In the Halton County Calf Club, | the 27 heifers distributed in Feb- | ruary were sold at auction on Aug- ust 30. A fair was held previous to the sale at which special prizes were awarded. | The Peel County Calf Club held a show and sale just one year after the | dairy heifers were distributed to the members, when $85 was offered in prize money by public-spirited per- sons. i All members in the Peel Dairy Calf | Club had to submit records of feed | and milk together with a financial | statement showing the profit on their | enterprise. \ There has been only one sheep club | formed during the past year and that | was the Albion Sheep Club in the | County of Peel. In the previous sheep club formed | in Peel a year ago, two Oxford Down | ewes in lamb were distributed to each member. Unfortunately some of thé ewes proved not to be in lamb and others lambéd unexpectedly in the middle of winter. This proved a' hardship to some of the club mem- bers though the bréeders from whom the ewes had been bought very kind- ly exchanged those without lambs for two shearling ewes each With a ewe lamb. The 14 members each with 2 Sheep had 25 lambs and after the transters had been made thé average Wis just over 1 lamb per ewe. In an endeavor to avoid the early lamb misfortune of last season, the representative from Peel organ- ized a breeding flock in comnection with the Albion Club. The shearlings were shipped in and flocked with a good pure-bred ram on Nov. 12 which resulted in lambs being born at a time When the weather was more favorable. There are two live "stock 'clubs formed in the province, one in Waterloo County and the other in Brant County. Then are confined to pure-bred anithals, but they differ from the calf, pigs, or sheep clubs already mentioned if that all classes of animals are ineluded.--R. S.

How This Name Attained Its Great Popularity. Jehn is the most common first, or Christian, 1e we have, [ts history is qurious. It came originally from the Hebrew Jehsohannen, "God is gracious." The Greeks made it Jo- | hanan, and in the feminine it became Anna and Hannah. The name was unknown in Saxon'England amd was , seldom used among the Normans. In the Doomsday Book," says "Great | Thoughts," the record of the inhabi- | tants of England which William the had compiled, only two a Dane. John was the name of the beloved disciple and the writer of one of the ! Gospels. As the Bible became more faMiliar to the peéplea of Europe, this name becam creasingly popu- | lar in Europe, /Aspecially after the | Bible was traphlated from the Latin into the langage of the people. An enormous increase in the num- ber of Johns resulted from the pil- | grimages and the Crusades. About the year 1000 it became customary for devout Christians to make jour- | neys to the Holy Land in order to | see the places made sacred by the life of the Lord. At first they went as! peaceful travelers. Later they went as armed bands, intent upon rescu- ing the tomb of the Saviour from the infidel Each pilgrim was known by two signs--a cross worn on the shoulder or breast and a bottle at his belt. The cross was the symbol of his vow to | rescue the towd of the Savidur, and the bottle was to be filled with holy water from the River Jordan. On the return of the pilgrims, the con- tents of thei bottles were used at christenings. . Happy was the mother who could ' secure a few drops of water from the river in which the Saviour had been baptized for the baptism of her own | child. The name John would natur- | ally occur as appropriate for a boy baptized under these conditions, since the Saviour was baptized in the Jor-| a number are now in the process of | 4aR by John the Baptist. It may al most be said that the world went sud denly John crazy. It was soon esti- | mated that two-thirds of the English | males were named John. Families of six or seven boys were all named | John. : So common did this custom become that varions methods had to be! adopted to distinguish one Jehn from another. The surnames Littlejohn, | Pettyjohn, Micklejohn and its Nor- man equivalent Grossjean (meaning | Big or Fat John), Benjohn (Good John), from which the immortal | name of Bunyan is eorrupted; Up- john (John on the hill), Donjohn | (Downjohn, or John in the valley), | are all examples of attempts to dis-| tinguish one John from another. | Many of these names still exist as surnames | It Is under its nickname Jack that { we ind how abundant was the popu- | larity of the name.
