Constipation ---that disordered state of the digestive tract which is nearly always caused by Improper feeding— eau be readily regulated by the use of Baby's Own Tablets. These Tablets are a mild but thoroughly laxative. They are easy to take and are abso- lutely free from injurious drugs, Con- cerning them Mrs. Joseph. Dion, Ste. Perpetua, Que., writes: ---"I bane no- thing but praise for Baby's Own Tab- lets. When my baby was three months. old he was terribly constipated but the Tablets soon set him right and now at the' age of fifteen months he is a. big healthy boy and this good health I attribute entirely to the use of i.he Tablets." They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Strange Conversion. , How a woman was converted to Christianity by a Brahmin is told by a recent writer. Cecelia Thaxter, a poetess, was an earliest student of strange and mysti- cal teachings. At one time she was much dominated by the teachings of John Weiss, and she did not appreci- ate the beauty and power of the Bible. She saw a good deal of a Hindu theo- sophist. One day sire said too her friend, Mary Parkman, "Did I speak contemptuous- ly of such a person? I ought not to, for one of the principles of theosophy is to feel no contempt far any human being," Miss Parkman replied, "But did not Jesus teach that? Is it not all in the Sermon on the Mount?" By and by Mohini himself happened to get hold of a copy of the New Testament, and was much surprised and itnpressed by the beauty of its contents. He spoke of it to Mrs. Thaxter, and found to his amazement that she knew nothing about the New Testament. "Fiat!" he said. "You do not read your own religious books? I never heard anything more beautiful than this." • Mrs. Thaxter forthwith began to read the New Testament and became so much interested in it that she went about with a copy in her pocket; whenever she had a chance she would read it. From that time she began to attend Phillips Brooks's church. She was converted to Christianity by a Brahmin theosophist! Making Markets. "To a very large degree, produc- tion is controlled by profits and the ease of marketing the products, but sometimes, as in the live stock indus- try, markets have to be created. Canada was producing the fat hog and for years had an outlet for the surplus product; but marketing con- ditions changed and the industry im- mediately faced rather a difficult situation. A new market was the solution. The Government was imine= diately seized of the situation and had careful surveys and investigations made; educational campaigns were carried on, the type of hog raised in The island of Lundy, off the Bristol. Channel, was for many years in the occupation of a man named Heaven, and the place was referred to by sailors as the "Kingdom of Heaven." MONEY ORDERS. Send -a. Dominion Express Money Order. Five Dollars costs three cents. "Burke's Peerage," one of England's best 'known annual handbooks, was first published in 1826, Mfnard's Liniment Reliever Distemper Eastern Canada was changed, and the, bacon industry as we know it to -day came into being. Those who assisted in the transformation realized how great were the difficulties and how tremendous the possibilities. Time has proved to the satisfaction of Cana- dians that the exportable surplus of agricultural products must meet, in so far as is possible, the standards laid down by the importing nations. Moreover, we have learned that it is profitable to meet these demands wherever feasible. Canadian bacon is in Great Britain, and even in other countries, a standard product. The Government's part now is to keep clear all • trade channels„ thus pro- viding the demand, while the reputa- tion already achieved assures the pro- ducer a price comparable to Chat re- ceived in any other market." ---Dr. S. F. Telltale, Minister of Agriculture. THE TREA§URE OF GOOD HEALTH Surnames and Their Origin HOMER. Racial Origin—Anglo-Norman. Source—An occupation. While the Normans spoke French they were really a Teutonic race. Indeed, a large part of the blood of modern France, particularly in the north, was originally Teutonic, the re- sult of the great migrations westward of the Teutons into what had pre- viously been the purely Gallic prov- inces of the Roman Empire. Thus not only the overwhelming majority of names, but a large percentage of the words in the medieval French speech were Teutonic. One of these words was that for "helmet," a modern word which has come clown to us both through the Anglo-Saxon an.,: the Norman-French tongues, only for some reason we have perpetuated the diminutive rather than the original word itself, "Helmet" means "little helm." As the Normans originally spelled and pronounced it, It was "healme," but in accordance with that tendency which has scatter- ed the diphthong "au" so profusely through modern French, namely, the tendency to drop the pronunciation of the "1" and substitute a long - "e" sound for the former vowel, it was quite generally spelled "'heaume" be- fore the population of England finally swung hack toward the old Anglo- Saxon speech. The "heaumers" or "'healmers" of :medieval- England were the makers of helmets. The name was, of course, first applied as descriptive of this oc- cupation, with this meaning being ul- timately. lost 1-timately.lost in that of mere personal designation. With the original mean- ing forgotten er unstressed the tend- ency toward phonetic spelling in an age when spelling was little standard - Easily Maintained Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. There le not a nook or corner in Canada, in the cities, the towns, in villages, en the farIn1 and in the mines and lumber camps, where Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills have not been used, and from one end of the country to the other they have brought back to, bread -winners; their wives and fart- ilies the splendid treasure of new health and strength, Yon lave only to ask your neigh- hors, elg-hors, and tjiey can tell you of some rheumatic or nerve -shattered man, some suffering woman, ailing youth or anaemic girl who owes prel ent health and strength to Dr: Williams' Pink Pills, For more than a quarter oe a century these pills have been known not only in Canada, but throughout all the World, as a reliable tonic, blood- making medicine. The wonderful Mucosas of Dr. liams' Pink Pills is due to the fact that they go right to the root ot the disease in the blood, and by making the vital fluid rich and red strengthen every organ and every nerve, thus driving out disease and pain, and Waking weak, despondent people bright,, active and. s"rong. Mr. W. T. Johnson, one of the best known and most highly esteemed men in Lt nen- burg county, N.S., says:—"I am a :Provincial Land. Surveyor, and am ex- posed for the greater part of the year ' to very hard work travelling . through the forests by day and camping out. by night, and I find the only thing that will keep me up to the mark is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I leave home far a trip in the woods I am as interested in having.my supply of pills as 'provisions, and on such occasions, I take them regularly. The result is I, ani always fit. I never tako cold, and can digest all kinds of food such as we have to pht up with hastily cook- ed in the woods. Having proved the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as a tonic and health builder, I am never without then, and I lose no opportun- ity in recommending them to weak people whom I meet." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be kept in every home, and their occa- sional use will keep the blood pure and ward off illness. You can get these pills through any medicine deal- er, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for X2.50 from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ized anyhow, eventually brought the family name to the form of Homer. CASEY. Variation—Cahasey, O'Casey. Racial Origin—Irish. Source—A given name. The Irish family name of Casey is one which, strangely enough in view of its Irish form, so complicated to our English -accustomed eyes, has de- veloped very few variations in its transition into English spelling. This is true because, despite the complicated •looks of the Gaelic spell- ing, the pronunciation is not very susceptible to any other phonetic rendition in English than Casey, or 'when care is taken to preserve the faint "h" sound in the middle of the name, Callasey. The Irish spelling is nothing less than "O'Cathasaigh," sometimes also spelled "O'Cahesaidh." To our Eng- lish -trained eyes the latter form illus- trates best its pronunciation, when it is remembered that the sound of the final "dh" easily became eliminated, and makes cleaithe reason for the spelling sometimes, but not often met with Cahasey. The "h" in such a name is very easy to ignore except for a tongue trained in the Irish language. The given name from which this fancily or clan name was developed is "Cathasach," and its meaning is "brave." It was a name quite com- mon in the • old Irlash nomenclature, but, of 'course, only in comparatively few instances gave rise to a family name. The O'Caseys in Ireland are most thickly settled in Munster, Limerick and Clare : (the territory which was the ancient Thomond), and also an Cork." • r -c file bothers t turn to ire k has- helped Wally a coffee drnrliker out of trouble. • Cb 9 . �w• t Tess - a 1� easo .

It is known by mostgardeners that cabbage, parsnips, turnips, salsify, and carrots are not injured by freez- ing, provided they thaw out while in contact with the earth or soil; but it is also a fact that certain winter vegetables are not at their best until they have been frozen hard at least once while in the ground., ' Parsnips and salsify especially, should stand in the ground until there has .been weather cold enough to freeze several inches, then the roots may be dug and stored in an open pit and covered with dirt. The covering may be sufficiently heavy to prevent further freezing if it is desired' to go Ante them during the winter, but it will Ido no harm if "covered only a few inches so that they will freeze and thaw several times. They, will be of better texture and flavor ley having frozen. Turnips -should not be al- lowed to freeze more than once, and cabbage also keeps best if covered well after the heads have frozen once er twice and thawed out under ground. The 'stalks should also be 'covered with soul when in storage, as the frost wrle come clown them into the head if they 1 protrude and are allowed to Ilreeze and thaw a number of tunes.
