ER Until the war came we did not realâ€" ize how precarious and indispensable to human health were oils and fats. It is interesting in this connection to consider the fact thatâ€"barring linâ€" zeed, which is not edibleâ€"all of our fats and oills are derived from byâ€"proâ€" duct materials, says an American newspaper. Take ecotionseed, for example, whigch ; formerly was thrown away. It now ylields more than a billion pounds of ofl annually, which is used in enorâ€" mous quantities in the manufacture of artificial lard. f Corn oil is a byâ€"product of starch and hominy plants. We produce 160,â€" 000,000 pounds of it in a twelvemonth. Tallow, lard and other animal fats are byâ€"products of the packing bhouses. Eightyâ€"seven milion pounds of peaâ€" nut oil were produced in the United States in 1919 for use in lard substiâ€" tutes, as a salad cil (equal to a fair quality of clive oil}, and in the making of "nut margarine.," The high price of butter during the war made nut marâ€" garize so popular that the consumaâ€" tion of peanut oil for this purpose rose to 28,000,000 pounds in 1918. In 1920 the production of â€"peanut oll in the United States fell, with slackenâ€" ing demand and lower prices, to 13, 0(9,000 pounds or nearly oneâ€"seventh that of 1919. Farmers in the South have bion accustomed to ‘plant peaâ€" nuts for their hogs, allowing the aniâ€" mals to gather the crop. They have found, however, that it pays much betâ€" tor to harvest the peamuts, sell them at the mill for erushing and take back the residunin of "cake." A ton of cake, ground into meal, is worth more as hog foed than the original peanuts, and it makes much better pork. Theee farms include one of the two Karszkul sheep farms of the Dominion, with 1,100 head, valued at $80,000. There are on the fox rauches of Alâ€" berta, 183 silver foxes, 98 paich foxes and 25 red foxes. A new method of extracting byâ€"proâ€" ducts from waste and otherwise useâ€" less apples, including the most inâ€" tensely acid and worthless, which have heretofore gone to waste, has been discovered by Graham‘s, Limited, Hatifax. From a simple process it is claimed that a syrup, which has been pronounced eminently desirable as a basis for other comnections, can be produced. Calcium Malite, the same as derived from maple sugar and known as sugersand, can be produced by this new process. The process is being treated in two evaporators and it is thought will lead to the developâ€" ment of an entirely new industry in the Annapolis Valley. Operations will shortly begin on the sinking of a new shaft at the colliery at New Waterford, N.S., which will mean the establishmont of a new comâ€" munity in that town. This is part of the development work consequent upâ€" on the amalgamation of the Nova Scotin Stee! and Dominion Coal Comâ€" pamies on the great submarine area, which it is estimated by mining men to contain over one hundred million tons of eoal. UNKNOWN OILS AND FATS A branch plant of the Lewis E. Myers Company of Valparaiso, Indiâ€" ana, and the Canadian Austin Maâ€" chinery Company, at Chicago, have beon established at Woodstock, Ont, the former to manufacture art desks for schools, and the latter carthâ€"moyâ€" Ing and concrete mixing maghinery. A new milk powder plant at Chilliâ€" wack, B.C., has been completed and operations commenced. It will have a daily capacity of three ~thousand pounds. A C Safeguard Baby‘s Eyes In BRudapest . recently a midwife dropped fnto the eyes of a newâ€"born baby a 10 per cent. solution of nitrate of silver instead of the 1 per cent. solution that is obligatory there. The result, of course, was destruction of the evebali and totsl blindness. To prevont the recurrence of such a dis aster the highest sanitary authorities are ordering that a 1 per cent. soluâ€" tion of silver acetate be used instead of the silver nitrate, for the reason that it is impossible to make a strongâ€" er solution of the former.

Every rhenmatic sufferer should ; realize that rheumatism is rooted in | the blood and that to get rid of it it , must .be treated through the blood.l The old belief that rheumatism was | caused by cold, damp weather, is now exploded. Such weather conditions . may start the pains, but it is not the | cause. Liniments and outward appliâ€" cations may give temporary relief, but that is all they can do because they do not reach its sources in the blood. The sufferer from rheumatism who experiâ€" ; ments with outward applications is | only wasting time and money in (le-‘| pending upon such treatment; the trouble still remains, and it is all the time becoming more firmly rcoted.' ;Treat this disease through the blood : and you will soon find relief. Dr. Wilâ€" ‘ liams‘ Pink Pills act directly on imâ€" pure weak blood; they purify and strengthen it, and so act on the cause of the rheumatism. Mr. P. J. Macâ€" Pherson, R.R. No. 5, Cardigan, P.E.L, says: "About three years ago I was attacked with rheumatism. L began taking Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills and soon the trouble disappeared and I am in bettor health than before. I also know of an old lady acquaintance who was badly crippled with rheuâ€" matism in her arms and legs, and who suffered very much. She, too, took Dr. Williams‘ Pisk Pills and is now able to do her housework. I tell you this in the hope it may b. of benefit to some other sufferer." You can procure Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or they will be sent you by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing direct to The Dr. Williams‘ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. FREEMONT Racial! Originâ€"-Norman-French Sourceâ€"A locatity. There are two versions as to what | the real meaning of the name of Free-i mont is, but virtualiy alt authorities are agreed (that the family name, as such, is but an English dsvelopment‘ of the place namse of Framont in France. Whother this place was named "franeâ€"mont" ("freoeâ€" mount") is a matâ€" ter that is open to debate with the chances somewbat "In favor of the former arguiment as fitting in better with what is known of the motives and habits of early Kuropean populaâ€" tions in the development ‘of their tions . in ie UEYCIOPMICNE .

It says that without considerâ€" able donations the league must curâ€" tail many of its activities. The apâ€" peal is for a million pounds, or "just the cost for maintaining one Capital ship for a year." The letter goes on to say that "if the world will but rally to the League of Nations a substantial reduction in armaments will be possible. We shall save the million pounds many times over in taxation, to say nothing of what we will gain in security and hapâ€" piness." The active principle of tea is "theine." That of coffee is caffeine, But caf: feine and theine are exactly the same thing. w 1Xd * This agreeably stimulating alkaloid is found in other plants one of which grow wild and plentifully in the South Atlantic States, where It is called "vaupon," or somet‘mes "Christmasâ€" berry tree." # e The Indians brewed a beverage from the leaves of the yaupon long beâ€" fore the first white man landed on this continent; and during the Civil War it was used as a substitute for tea by people in the South. The U.S. Government Plant Bureau is experimenting with it, in the belief that the leaves, whemproperly cured after the manmer of tea, will furnish a palatable cup at a much less cost. . In the Island of Rhodes honey is still a factor in the marriage rites. After the wedding the husband dips his finger in honey and traces a cross over the doorway of his home before the bride enters. Meanwhile the specâ€" tators cry out to the bride, "Be alâ€" ways good and sweet as is this honey." Minard‘s Liniment for Distemper. DENNISON Variationsâ€"Dennisson, Dennis, Denis, Denison. Racial Originâ€"English. Scurceâ€"A given name. There is really little about this family name that requires explanaâ€" tion, except, porhaps, the given name from which it is derived, that of Denis or Dennis. f One of the Latic, and more ancientâ€"| ly Greek, names for the god of \vise} was "Dionysius," and the Romans carâ€"| ried it as a given name into the Celtlcl provinces of Northâ€"western Europs, which they conquered. It became a‘ Christian name, and even when the Roman Empire fell before the conâ€" quests of the Teutonic tribes it surâ€" vived, to appear in changed form in the new longuages which sprang up. in what is now France through the: combination of the original Celtic with the Roman and finally the Teutonic blood. British Leaders Appeal for The clange was great. It had simply become shortened to, Denis. it was taken to England by the Norâ€" mans. The form Dennis is a later Engâ€" lish development. The family name, of course, was criginally a surname denoting the parentage of the persons who bore it, and as there were many by the name of Denis in English, the surname "Dennisson" naturally sprang up in unrelated cases.

The chief mechanical . engineer of an English railroad has recently perâ€" fected and put into operation a device which serves the double purpose of providing ~railway carriages with a. bufiing_appliance and an interlocking arrangement which will maintain the alignment of a train and prevent the ‘telescoping of the carriages, The bufâ€" fers are designed with working and reâ€" serve stroke springs of five tons and fifteen tons each, giving an ordinary resistance of twenty tons per bufier. Should the impact be still greater, the boits which resist the springs are deâ€" signed to break away at about fifty tons pressure per buffer and the corâ€" rugated ferders to become engaged. These fenders are designed no; only to prevent vehicles mounting each other, but also to presérve the alignment and absorb the shock. His Hearing Restored. The inpvisible ear drum invented by A. O. Leonard, which is a miniature megaphone, fitting inside the ear enâ€" tirely out of sight, is restoring the kearing 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 oeffective when deafness is caused by catarrh or by perforated, or wholly destroyed naturâ€" al drums. A request for information to A. 0.

War Deâ€" partment has developed a new and peculiar kind of clock, to be carried on airplanes. . It is "builtâ€"like a watch," having a watch movement, and is wound by electricity, being connected with a small storage batttery. Hitherto it has been found difficult to get a clock to do satisfactory work on a plane. The vibration. made the timepiece unreliable, and its accuracy was further affected by changes of tempcrature vwih altitude. The new clock,. thanks to certain "compensation" arrangements, keeps good time at any temperature fromm 90 below zero to 150 above, and vibraâ€" tion does not bother it. Tests made by the Bureau of Standards have given it a full indorsement. ~MHe struck a match to see if the gasoline tank was empty.
