Racial Origin --Anglo-Saxon, also Ger- man, also French. • Source—A given flame. The family name of Harman is un- usual in the great number of varia- tions of it that are to be found through- out northern Europe; and which have come into the United States from sev- eral different countries. As a family name, of course, it de- veloped from a given name, that of Herman. At least, that is definitely. certain so far as the English and thee French forme are concerned. But the peculiar nature of Herman as a given name leaves room for the possibility though not the probability, of a differ- ent development in Germany. The name is a compound of two old basic Teutonic words: "eor," a word denoting divinity in pre -Christian • days, and "man," signifying humanity. Thus the word came to denote "divine humanity," which was the nearest method the old Teutons had of signify - Ing "brotherhoad of man" or "the gen- eral public," and it came to be used dater to denote a soldier, or "guardian the people." Afterward it came to ,be used as a personal name. The an- dent "eor," of course, is the basis of the modern German "Herr," meaning ':variously "Lord," "Sir" or "Mr.," and et is regarded possible though not like- dy, that in some instances the German forms of Hermann, Herrman and }Ierr- mann developed from this. rather than ;the given name. Armand Is the French form. Tho e+,, rest of the foregoing variations are all ,English. Those familiar with their Roman L4story will recognise the Latinized Perm of the given name in Aeminius. the given name was widespread in medieval England as Armyn, Urmyn led Harmer, as well as Hardkin. Try This on Your Doc, A printer received' .an inquiry from a surgeon who wanted bide on several thousand letter -heads, different sizes, grades and colors, and he wanted the form held staneling, The printer wrote baek; "Am in the market for one operation for ap- pendioitis, one, two, or live -inch incis- ion, with or without ether; also with or without nurse. Quotations must in- elude puiting appendix back and can- celling the order if found sound. Suc- cessful bidder is expected to hold in- cision open for sixty days, as. I expect to be in the market for an operation for gallstones, and I want tosave the extra cost of cutting." A proper uuderstanding requires a recognition of the fact that the mean- ings as well as the spellings of words suffer subtle changes in the course of. time. "Cb41d,"' for instance, was often a title in those days, and even to -day we put various shades of meaning into the words son, "sonny," and brother In addressing people colloquially. All of the foregoing variations, with the exception of Beaufiz and,l3eaufitz, which are not nearly so common to- day, have meanings which are obvious. The word "bairn" is• in use to -day in Scotland, the descentant from the same Anglo-Saxon word which gives us "born." It means "child." Parents often call their children "son," "child;' "brother" and the like. In manyinstances such names stick, within the family at least. •In the mid- dle ages communities were smaller, and speech was, less formal. Hence they sometimes stuck as regards the entire community, and when the bear- ers hi turn grew up and had children the latter came to be known as "Fair- child's -sons," "Fairbairn's sons," etc. Later, shortening --influences elimin- ated the ending "son." "Fitz," as has been pointed out be- fore, was the Norman-French equiva- lent of the Anglo-Saxon "son," and was formed through the influence of Teutonic tongues on the Latin "lifts Indeed, even after the Normans came to England they often spelled it "ills" instead of as they pronounced it. The names Beaufitz and. Beaufiz mean "fair child" or "fair son." But they are rarely met with as family names in this country to -day. FAIRCHILD Variations -- Fel rbatrn, Fairbrother, Falrson, Beaufix, Beaufitr. Racial Origin—Angio-Saxon and Nor- man-French. Source --Titles or nicknames. The most puzzling of all family :tames to theme of modern times are :the ones which aro founded en words sf relationship. With the exception of "son" used as an ending, we wander ',ow such words as child, brothor, father and the like could' be used to Wen1Zn0ta or differentiate one family Crone another. 1c GIRLS!

Nothing is more dangerous to proper growth, more weakening to the constitution or more likely to pave the way to dan- gerous disease. Fully nine -tenths of all the minor ills of childhood have their root in indigtstion. There is no medicine for little ones too equal Baby's Own Tablets n relieving this trouble. They have proved of benefit In thousands of homes. Concerning them Mrs. Jos. Lunette, Immaculate Conception, Que., writes: "My baby I was a great sufferer from indigestion, but the Tablets soon set her right, and now 1 woould not be without them." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr: Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. NEI. O.S I [1i3ESTION Some of Its Causes and How Ile- lief May be Obtained. Many people suffer from nervous in- digestion. ndigestion. ` The commonest causes are worry, over -work, lack of exercise, or a general run down condition of the system. It ip a disease o1 the nerves rather than of the digestive organs, and is corected by giving needed nour- ishment to the nervous system and building up the blood. The treatment consists largely in rest, recreation and the use of a true tonic such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In addition, the patient should follow a careful diet, and avoid coffee and stimulants, these being.unsuitable for nervous people. As one's nerves rely for nourishment upon the blood, the latter must be built up and made rich and pure,which isjust what Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills do, It there is loss of weight and pallor, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are especially helpful. Mrs. Adolphus Villeneuve, R.R. No. 2, Apple Hill, tells as follows how she obtained relief:—"I was so bad with nervous indigestion that I could not digest anything I took, and as a con- sequence was a great sufferer. I doc- tored for four months, but seemed to be getting worse instead of better. I lost strength to such an extent that I could hardly go about. Then my mother came to see me, and urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I followed her advice and got a supply at once. Atter taking a few boxes I felt my strength returning, and I con- tinued their use, until at the end of a few months I could eat anything I de- sired, had regained my old time health and strength, and was in every way a well woman. I am so thankful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for me that I always advise their use when any of my friends' are run down or ailing-" You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 60o a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Upper or Lower? The masa, says the Epworth Herald, had just informed the agent that he wanted is berth on the train. "Upper or lower?" inquied tits agent. "What's the difference?" asked the Man, "A difference of fifty cents in this case," replied the agent. "The lower is higher than the upper, The higher price is for the lower. If you want it lower, you'll have to go higher. We sell the upper lower than tile lower, In other words, the higher the lower. Mast people don't like the upper, al- though it -is lower on account ofits being higher. When you occupy an upper you have to get up to go to bed and get down when you get up. You can have the lower if, you pay higher. the upper is lower than the lower be- cause it is higher, If you are willing to go higher, it will be lower. But the poor man had • fainted.

"Let's go to a hotel to -night," said Billy. "I'm too tired to get this tent off and set it up!" "All right," Mr. Morris replied, Accordingly the party sought out the one hotel in the town. "Can you give us two: adjoining rooms?" Mr. Morris said to the proprietor. "Yeah, I guess I can," was the reply. "They'll be two dollars • apiece or four dollars for the two." A minute later, laden with baggage, Mr. Morris and Billy reentered the hotel, followed by Mrs. Morrie and Alice, the little girl. "Show as to our rooms now, will you?" said Mr. Morris. "Yes. sir. They'll be two dollars apiece or four dollars for the two of them," the proprietor replied. "Sure, I know," Mr. Morrie agreed. "I've got my hands full now; 1'11 pay you in the morning." "All right," the proprietor answered nonchalantly. •"I'll show you to your rooms in the morning then." What the Package Does. Tea growers have found from experi- ence that it is necessary immediately to pack tea in air -tight metal -lined chests, to preserve the flavor and good- ness of the leaf. Equally so is an air- tight package necessary for the small lots of tea for individual consumption. Bulk tea iso always inferior tea because it is exposed to air. The "SALADA" air -tight aluminum package is the .most efficient way of preserving tea known. • Quick Growing Trees for the Prairie.
