Welcome to the Prince.
A visit of King Edward and Queen

of the town they bad to pass a small

As decorations were file order of
the day, the officer in charge was not
going to be behind his neighbors, so
be had fastened right across the build-
ing the one word in the dictionary that
did not properly Ile the occasion. The
Prince was consequently much amtts-

A TONIC FOR TILE NERVE
The Only Real Nerve Tonic is
Good Supply of Rich, Red
Blood. ,
"If people would only attend to
their blood, instead of worrying then;
selves lel," said, an eminent new
specialist, ""we doctors would not se
our consulting rooms crowded with
nervous wrecks. More people suffer.
front worry than anything eIse."
The sort of thing which the special.
fist spoke at is the nervous run-down
condition caused ley overwork and the
many anxieties of to -day. Sufferers
find themselves tired, low-spirited and
unable to keep their minds ori
thing. Any sudden Itoise hurts like
a
blow. They are full of groundless
fears, and do not sleep well at eight.
Headaches -and other nerve pains are
part of the misery, and it all carnes.
from starved nerves.
Doetoriug the nerves with poisonous
sedativesis a terrible mistake. The
only real nerve tonic is a good supply
of rich, red blood, Therefore, to re-
lieve nervousness and run-down health
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should.• be
taken. These pills make new, rich
blood, wbfch strengthens the nerves,
improves the appetite, gives new
strength and spirits and Inakes•hither-
to despondent people bright and cheer-
ful. If you are at all "out of sorts"
You should begin taking Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills.
•You can get these pills through any
dealer in medicine, or by mai! at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2,50

Surnames and Their Origin
PLl'NKETT.
Variations — Blanehet., Whittle,
Whittlesey.
Racial Origin ---Norman-French; al-
so Anglo-Saxon,
Source --A nickname.
The family names of this group
have wandered far, very far, from
their original forms, with the excep-
tion of Whittle, which is not recog-
nizable to ;the Menage person because
it comes from a word now obsolete.
Whittlesey comes front the name
of a town, which in turn took its
name from this word.
The word in modern English is
•"blanket." y But it did not have the
'same meaning in medieval times as
it has to -day. "Blanket" was the
Norman word, derived from the
French "blanche," meaning white,
"Whittle" was the Anglo-Saxon word;
derived from the same root as our
modern word "white." In the speech
of medieval England either "blanket"
or "whittle" meant white cloth, that
is to say, colorless cloth. In ,reality
at ;was not white, but merely not dyed.
It was the garb of the poorer people,
and like nearly everything associated
-with the daily life of people in the
days when the need for surnames was
developing, it was called into use in
connection with men's 'names as a
mark of differentiation. Those who
!bore the names in this group when
they were still sobriquets or nick-
names did so because they were cus-
tomarily garbed in this kind of cloth,
• or perhaps 'because they traded in it.
"Plunket" is an early corrupted
epelling of the word. One law of
Richard III. relating- to this clotlh.
calls it "plonket."
Our modern use of the word "blan-
ket" to denote a woollen bed cover-
ing is f; of ' comparatively recent de-
velopment, and from it we have de-
rived a number of similes with the
general meaning of "cover all, which
have no relation to the original mean-
ing.
ROWAN.
Variations -Mohan, Roan, Roughen,
Ruane.
Racial Origin--Iris11, also English.
Source—Given names, also geo-
graphical.
By • far the majority of famili
bearing names, in this group are
Irish origin, but not all; for one vari
tion the name also developed in in
dieval England from an independe
source.
The larger of the two Illish source
of the name is the given time-
"Roghan," which literally translate
means "the chosen one." The '"O' to
brains," to use the nearest equivalen
.to the old Irish spelling, trace bac
in nearly.. every case to a chieftai
of this name who was a descendan
in the Iine of O'Dea.
The other source is from, the give
name, or sobriquet, ""Ruadh," mean!
"red." Ruadh ,is niet with most fre
quently in Irish nomenclature, but al
ways in the form of a descriptive ad
dition to the family name, distinguish
ing one branch .of a family from an
other by its coloring, which explain
why we so often meet such terms in
Inish, send even. Scottish history as
"The Red O'Connor," "The Black
Douglas" and the like. But only un-
der very exceptional circumstances
have such qualifying q Ifying terms developed
into real family names in the Gaelic
tongue. The usual course would be
for , such •a word first to become a
given name,, and from this develop in-
to a family name. So with "Ituadh,"
the family name developed front which
is properly .Ruane. But the similar-
ity of sound between Rowan and
Ruane has often led to their inter-
change in English spelling.
The English family name is:proper-
ly 'Roan, which was the common me-
dieval ':spelling of the name of the
city Rouen, in France. Settlers in
England frmn foreign cities quite
commonly came to be known by the
names of the shies or •countries
whence they came. Picardy, Ant-
werp, Cologne' and Lyons have .given
many English family names.

Prince of Wales Writes Pre-
face
re-
face to Book. ..
Enthusiastic accounts given by the
Prince of Wales in the Royal family
circle of his experiences during Itis
recent Empire trip are .said to have
raised a keen desire on the part of
his brothers, Princes Albert, Henry
and George, to go on similar voyages.
The Prince of Wales is reported to
be 'wilting a preface to a book of
photographs taken during his trip,
which will be sold for, the benefit of a
blind, soldiel-ee hospital,
Since his return to London the
prince has been giving a series of
small dinner .parties to his intimate
friends at St, James' Palace, which
is noir pretty well stocked with
souvenirs of his toter. He makes an
excellent host, and, he has a fund of
amusing anecdotes about his experi-
ences abroad.
;• He is fond of playing rackets and
swimming at the fashionable Bath
Club, of Piccadilly. A keen. follower
of the obese, he leas recently bought
several new hunters, and he is keep-
ing up family traditions by accepting
the chairaianshlp of the West,Norfolk
Hounds, a position which his grand-
father, King Edward, held for many
ears.

Artificial Raisins.
The : production of grapes in Cali-
fornia for the present year is esti-
mated at more than 300,000 tons. Of
these a large part are wine grapes,
grown in. the central and northern
parts of the state.
The producers are not permitted to
make wine from these grapes, and,
they cannot ship- them elsewhere for
wine -making purposes. Obviously, the
only thing to be done with them is to
convert th.ni into raisins.
In southern California this might bo
done by the ordinary process of sun -
drying; but in the central and north-
ern sections the weather is not suffi-
ciently •reliable. Accordingly, the
growers are resorting to artificial de-
hydration.
It takes four to five weeks to pro-
duce -raisins by sun drying, but the
dehydration 'process occupies, only
twelve hours, and the results obtained
are described as conspicuously satis-

6th December, 1920.
The 1,03r'd Annual General Meet-
ing of the Shareholders of the Bank
of Montreal was held on Monday,
December 6th, at the Bank's Head-
quarters. The : President, Sir Via -
cent Meredith, Bart., occupied the
chair, and presented the annual re-
port of the Directors.
Before moving the: adoption of the
report, Sir Vincent Meredith, gave a
comprehensive review of the econo-
mic situation. During tate year, be
said, an overwhelming demand for
credit had taxed resources to the
utmost- It bad been difficult to
make men who had grown accustom-
ed to high prices recognize the fact,
that economic conditions, which no
artificial means can alter, alone are
the cause of price decline. "The de-
mand for intervention through Gov-
ernment control is still iusisten`, in
some quarters," he said. "Canada
alone cannot control world-wide con-
ditions, and ItLs idle to turn to the
Government for relief from falling
prices, This applies to wheat as
well as other commodities."
Summing up, he said: "The situa-
tion in Canada at present, as I view
it, Is that while there does not ap-
pear to be any cause for appreben- '
siori, there is every reason for the
exercise of the utmost measure of
caution: Canada cannot disassociate
herself from wdrld conditions, and
world conditions are not satisfac-
tory. On this continent the two years
supervening upon the Armistice
have been marked by unexami:led
trade activity and prosperity, a sir-
ctlmstanco common to the conclu-
sion of all great wars, but the re-
action has sot in and may not yet
h, in full play. Happily, Canada is
well buttressed on rnaiiy sides, and
the e,cercise of prudence and saga-
city should enable' her to meet the
shock of falling prices, restricted
credits and deflated currency, with-
out serious impairment of her cam-
, inereial and financial vitality."
Expansion of Business to Canada,
The General Manager, Sir Fred-
erick Williams -Taylor, in reviewing
the operations
of t
hea
Bnkduin
during
the year, said the payment of a.
bonus of 2% to the shareholders was
not the outcome of higher rates of
interest on current loans in Canada
but a reflection of the increase in
current loans and of high interest
rates on call loans in New York, the
volume of which was governed by
the Bank's requirements in liquid
reserves, One anomaly which at-
tracted attention was that with
credit restriction as acute here as
it was across the Iine, the price of
money was materially.lower in the
Dominion. This condition, he said,
was regarded as a tribute to Can-
ada's good banking systema
Dealing with the growth 05 the
Bank's operations, he said: "It is
noteworthy that the greatest expan-
sion of the Bank during the past few.
years had been :re our own country.
This is revealed in ourgreatly in-
creased loans and deposits in Can-
ada' and'in the number of branches
opened during the period.

tion by Lord Shaughnessy to in-

on the Board were elected Sir Isomer

Fairy Gold.
In the lore that is known to our child-
hood,
The beautiful story is told
That under the foot of the rainbow
The fairies have hidden their gold.
Forever eluding but tempting,
The sunshine is bright on the rain,
And ever the hills and the valleys
We follow the glory -in vain.
Though we stand where we thought it
had rested,
Yet distant It ever appears;
For what : eems the rainbow to others
To those at its foot may be tears.
The strongest of charms is upon it,
This treasure, whichnever is gain-
ed;
And bright, with a glory celestial,
Is the goal that is never attained.
