I have been in homes where the re­ lations between father and sons were ■v: In seeking sleep, many people make serious mistakes.. The first is that they “try to get to sleep.” This is one of the very worst ways. Sleep often comes' when it is not sought, and perhaps, even when it is undesirable, as in church during a dull sermon.. Here are a few simple and harmless helps to healthy sleep.: The first is deep and full breathing. I have known people to object and say that deep and full breathing is a cure for so many things—such as worry and nerves, as well as- consumption and poor circulation—'that it cannot be a good cure for any one; but surely £'O strained and formal that the latter the more troubles any one practice would no more think of making a con- can cure at the same time, the more fidant of their father than they wou.d important and valuable that must be. Fighting Insomnia. If we have a ted that can only one function, it is less, than a tool which can perform twenty taste. Breathing may be compared ■ with a piece of machinery which can be employed; for a number of different! uses. But the deep and full breathing . must net be strained; it must be ac-I cording to a rhythm. A certain num-; b-er of “beats,” for instance, may be , given fcr the inhaling, a certain num-( ber fcr the bolding in of the breath,' a certain num Ser for the exhaling, and a certain number for rest before the . next inhaling. Then there are mental helps.. In a book published some years1 ago, en­ titled “The Mystery of Sleep,” the author pointed out how, during sleep, i the parts of us of which we are not conscious (it is not accurate to call them unconscious parts) are at work. A striking theory is that we never rest compl'etely. We are always work­ ing, if not on the conscious plane, then on the subconscious or the super­ conscious1 plane. We are aware of work on the mus*- eular plane, except for a good deal of the internal work—as1 of digestion, and so on; but we are little aware of the chemical work that gees on within us. Nine-tenths of our thinking is sub­ conscious. It might almost be said that we press a certain button and the thinking is done for us1. During Steep some part of our mind is working; and it is best for us not to try to stop work altogether, but to direct the mind to do the work that will help ourselves and others' most. So it may be the most effective plan to direct the subconscious, mind, first, to think of something restful, and to concentrate on that, and then to doing useful work in helping others who- are lin difficulties. Otherwise the mind may roam about at random, and we may not get really healthy sleep. We should what it LARDNER Variations—Lardlner. Racial Origin—English. Source—An occupation. Lardner is by no means' an infre­ quent family name, though probably ! it is most widely known when it has a “Ring” in front, of it. ; You might suspect from the first syllable that the name originally had : something to do with the word' “lard.” I In many cases when you suspect : things like this- about a family name you are wrong. But in this case you would be night. There is1 a connection. In fact the name is founded upon it. But the trade or occupation through which the connection was made is< no longer referred to as it was in the -----, r-----— ---- ---- I Middle Ages' at the time when family Originally this name, Tike a.11 others names were formed. which have been derived from trades, I In medieval England the “lardneir” was preceded by a “le” (meaning or “lardlner” (for you will find both “the”) under the influence of the spellings1) was’ a specific kind of swine- French tongue of the Normans. But herd. Hi© occupation was that of fat­ even before such names lost their des-, tenting or “lardening” pigs for the market or for the 'tables of the1 feudal lords. He had to be a good bit of a forester, for he took his herds into the woods to fatten them upon acorns and nuts1, and very often he also held a commission as1 a forest warden from his overlord. Originally, of course, the name was descriptive of the individual’s occu­ pation, and in the old records you will find many entries of such names, as “Hugo le Lardiner” and “Roger le Lardner.” SMOKE LOCKYEAR Variations—Lockyer, Lockman, Locke, Loockerman. Racial Origin—English, also Dutch. Source—An occupation. Lockyear, Lockyer, Loekman and Locke are all only different forms of the same family name, which in its original use was> but descriptive of the callings' of its first bearers. Lockyear is really not a “true” form of the name; it is a changed spelling of Lockyer. The “lcckyer” of the Middle Ages in England was, as you might opine, a. locksmith, as was also the “Lockman,” the two forms' cf the word being interchangeable, with the former, perhaps in wider use. A girl’s complexion is more than a matter of concern to her vanity. It is an indication of the state of her health. Pallor in a growing girl means a thinning of the blood. Erup­ tions mean Impurities in the blood. Mothers should be watchful of their daughters’ complexions and see to it that these signs are corrected—not covered up. When a girl in her teens becomes pale and sallow, especially if, at the same time, she shows an Inclination to tire easily, a listless ness and inat­ tention to her work or studies, she needs Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, a tonic which directly and .peciflcaliy cor­ rects the condition from which she is suffering. A chemical analysis of the blood of such a girl would show it to be deficient in just the elements that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills can supply, but the physical signs are plain. The girl with a bad complexion, or who suffers from occasional headaches, who is easily tired and breathless af­ ter slight exertion, should begin tak­ ing Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills at once. A good appetite, sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks follow the fair use of this medicine. You can get Dr. Williams’ Pink Pilus through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. i I !OLD CHUMpractice of a stranger. The mother is sometimes1 respons­ ible fcr this- unfortunate state of af­ fairs, llberately prejudiced against their father, be jealous of him, and to poison the young against him, to undermine their love and respect for him. Sometimes this is done by speaking slightingly of the father. Perhaps he is not much of a ■ business man, and the mother will criticize his methods before them, and find fault with him regarding his way of financing the family. Or she will magnify every weakness’ and imper­ fection of his character, make him ap­ pear weak and contemptible in their eyes. There are multitudes of mothers who, while they have no intention of injuring the father in the children’s ' regard, uncons'ciousily do so by the 1 methods they adopt to control them, i Just as many ignorant people will : frighten small children by telling them that they will call in a big policeman to arrest them and put them in jail, thousands of mothers will encourage fear cf the father by making them be­ lieve he is cruel and hard, and that he will punish them severely for every ; little mishap or misdeed of which she threatens to inform him. j This, is' very unfair to the father, for | it robs him of his most precious pos­ session—the love, admiration, and re­ spect of his children. It helps to build a barrier between him and his child­ ren, a prejudice which may last a life­ time and deprive him and them of I much possible happiness.. To know that his children love him dearly and want to be with him, that they are al­ ways1 delighted to have him at home, to have him join them in their play, is a great compensation to him for the sacrifices he makes for them. It is. a most unfortunate thing child to look upon his father cruel task-master instead of a panion, to dread meeting him because he always expects criticism or scold­ ing from him instead of sympathy, and companionship. Unfortunately some fathers encourage this feeling. They will constantly nag and find fault, and never think of praising their children or expressing any apprecia­ tion of their work, even when they do it well. A father should regard the confiden­ tial relation between himself and his son as one of the most precious things in life, and should never take chances of forfeiting it. It costs something to keep it, but it is worth the price. I have never knowm a boy to go very I far wrong who regarded his father and ! mother as his best friends, and kept no secrets from them.—O.

Low, an English inventor, believes1 it possible to get into com­ munication with Mars by means of light signalling. ‘There are several known chemical means of producing a light screen of sufficient size which would last long enough to be noticed by the Martians, if such exist,” he said. “I think a suitable screen could be set out on a high altitude by airplanes, to eliminate as far as possible the effect of air and clouds, which combine to make diffi­ cult any observation of the earth it­ self.” Dr. Low considers wireless waves less practical, as they travel in curves, ! making it difficult to gauge the target. ■ He holds it ludicrous to expect to And ’ the Martians’ life similar to our own. i i 1 “Some years ago we thought that ‘ ' animals and plants were the only things which lived,” he said, “but now we know there is have never seen anything yet which was not alive. “The Martians by heat waves, our physical makeup would revolution-. ize our world and ideas cf living. If we ! were born with eyes having only < slightly different lenses to normal we would see the air around us full of lice and our bath water a mass of hor­ rible looking creatures.” Dr. Low disagrees with those who assert the Martians are more ad-; ____________ vanced than earthings. “If they were,! put together,” they would have found some means ere this of communicating with us,” he said. perform valuable I know mothers who their They do all people’s minds have de­ children seem to they can I i for a as a com- tell our subconscious mind is1 to do during sleep. The Diet Cure. there is the diet cure for the and the that Then sleeplessness; and here the important matter is not what we have just be­ fore we want to go to sleep. The im­ portant thing is to get the blood pure and to get the circulation right. This is not a matter of the last meal we take in the day; it may require weeks and weeks' of sensible diet to get the whole systm clean. Often sleeplessness' is accompanied by cold feet. The coldness is due to clogging of the blood-stream; and this clogging is usually’ caused by wrong foods and drinks. When once blood becomes pure and clean strong, we are three-quarters of way towards healthy sleep. ----------.;«--------— Any Old Bones? Most of us have a dim idea bones are of some value. Bone meal is one of the most valu­ able of fertilizers1. It is good for fruit trees', roses, potatoes, and most vege­ tables1, for it contains both phosphate of lime and ammonia. But bones produce other valuable materials besides fertilizer. Treated in a sort of steam tank called a “di­ gester,” they give large quantities of fat and glue. Bones fresh from the butcher’s shop give twelve per cent, of fat, which is used principally fcr making soap. As for the glue, this is treated so that It is divided into two different qualities, the finer of which becomes gelatine and is the basis of table jel­ lies. The glue made from bones is put up in a dried be mixed heated. state, and before use must with a little water and A Undernourished, No Doubt.

The family name of Lockman, how­ ever, is' sometimes a contraction of that of Lockerman, which is not Eng­ lish at all, but Dutch, the true form being “Loockerman.” And though this family name also is, based upon an occupation, it is not the same from which the English names have de­ veloped. The “loockerman” among the Dutch was a man who raised or dealt in leeks.--------.>------- When Tin Catches Cold. You would scarcely suspect a metal such as tin of being able to catch cold, but it can do so for all that. In coun­ tries like Northern Russia all sorts of utensils are apt to become useless in winter time. A tiny greyish spot makes its ap­ pearance on the surface of the tin. It grows in size, and then others appear. In course of time the metal crumbles into a dark-colored powder. Some years ago a whole shipload of blocks of tin, stored in the Customs House of Petrograd during the winter, was found the following spring to have crumbled into dust. What really happens' is that the cold causes tin to change from one of its forms to another. Tin is often found in mines in the grey powder form which is quite useless. When it is heated it turns, into a well-known shiny metal, but under the influence of cold it may return to its other form. A GOOD MEDICINE FOR THE BABY Nothing can equal Baby’s Own Tab­ lets as a medicine for little ones. They are a laxative, mild but thorough in action, and never fail to relieve con­ stipation, colic, colds and simple fevers. Once a mother has used them she will use nothing else. Concerning them Mrs. Saluste Pelletier, St. Damas des Aulaines, Que., writes:—“I always keep a box of Baby’s Own Tablets in the house. They are the best medi­ cine I know of for little ones and I would not be without them.” The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont ... !

We are accustomed to hearing of measurements of tremendous dis­ tances such as those between the earth and some of the stars', which run into thousands of billions of miles. But what do you think of measuring accurately the 500,000,000th part of an inch? The most accurate of ordinary in­ struments can measure the 500,000,- 000th part of a mile, which is less: than three lO.OOOths' of an. inch. To mea­ sure the 500,000,000th part of an inch an instrument must be 50,000 times more delicate; yet it has been done. The appliance used is nothing like the tuning circuit of a wireless valve set. You know that if you turn the knob of the condenser the wave-length is altered. We can make a condenser by placing two plates of metal one above the other with an air space be­ tween them. If the tuning circuit is a delicate one, an almost infinitesimal bending of one of the plates will make a differ­ ence in the wave-length. It is easy to calculate how much bending causes any given differensce. The measuring appliance employs a condenser of this' kind, by means of which the tiny distances mentioned can be measured with ease. If a half­ inch bar of steel is placed in a vice and connected with the apj ratus, distance it sags when a fly settles on it is instantly and accurately corded on a dial. If a fly walks on a piece of iron pointer records how the whole mass quivers under its weight, and it will even measure the expansion of the iron caused by the heat of the insect’s body! The invention will be of great use to scientists, who hitherto have been baffled in their work when very tiny measurements' were needed.--------<,-------- Ask for Minard’s and take no other.

Whether Virakorn will stick to the good old days when he gets' back to Bangkok, or branch out for himself in same new line', has not been indicated. It may well be that the Siamese mon­ arch has a good many cousins to keep up, and that the young graduate’s thorough acquaintance with American methods in commerce, industry and finance will not prove unacceptable to his exalted uncle. 1 life in everything.
