"Jack" Miner, the well known and original investigator of wild goose life, is assisting the Government ot. ficials in the experiment.

They are bred and trained in a laboratory at Balham, to fight against and kill other insects which destroy or harm crops. V For instance. caterpillars can be pro. vented trom mining trees and go on by turning against them hordes ot other caterpillars, trained to have can- nibal instincts, so that they will tight and eat pests. The inventor of this aid to tanner: and gardeners is Mr, Crabbe. One ot his greatest successes is the produc- tion of a. slug-tiger. This creature. called a testocella, has very sharp jaws, with which it pierces the slugs and eats them. Almost any kind ot lnsect pest can be fought by other Insects. and as time goes on it may be possible to make the process ot destruction absolutely tttV tural.

The name ot Fergus "ures pro- minently in the Gaelic myths, legends and history ot the pre-Christian era. But the spelling Fearghus is a closer approximation as it was spelled with the old Irish alphabet. . About the period 200 A.D., before Ireland became Christianised, there was a great exodus of expeditions of conquest and colonization from the north ot Ireland to Scotland. The Irish clans which settled in Scotland. or Alba. as they called it then, were ‘the progenitors ot the present Gaelic portion ot the Scottish race, for the most part Highlanders. This name, which was compounded ot two Gaelic words, with a meaning1 ot "manly deed," developed in Scot- land into the form Fearschar in many instances, trom which the Latinised version Famuhardus was taken, later being shortened into Parquhar. The addition of the Anglo-Saxon ending “son" to the Celtic name Per. gus (a. much more common mixture of tongues in Scotland than in Ireland). ot course produced the family name of ot course Ferguson STOMACH TROUBLE DUE TO THIN BLOOD It Usually Disappears When the Blood is Made Rich and Red. Thin blood is one ot the most com- mon causes of stomach trouble. It affects the digestion very quickly. The glands that furnish the digestive fluids are dhninished in their activity, the stomach muscles are weakened and there is a loss ot nerve force. In thin state ot health nothing will more quick- ly restore the appetite, digestion and normal putrition than good, rich, red blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directiyl on the blood, making it rich and red,! and this enriched blood strengthens: weak nerves, stimulates tired muscles and awakens to normal activity the glands that supply the digestive fluids This is shown by an improved appe- tite, and soon the exact ot these bioodi enriching pills is evident throughout the whole system. You find that what you eat does not distress you, and that you are vigorous instead of it- ritabie and listless. If your appetite is tickle. it you have any of the dis- tressing pains and symptoms of indi- igestion, you should at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and profit by the better condition in which they will put your blood.
