Thee name of Percy Byngli Shelley BOUT LAC is one of the. greatest in English liters- !SAY tore. His finest works are "The Oen-, ei" and "Prometheus Unbound," but the best-known are lois "Ode to a Sky- lark and "Ode to the West Wind." Shelley was drowned while yachting - in the Quit of Spezia, His bodywas , washed ashore a fortnight later, and, in accordance with the quarautine laws of Italy, burnt on a pyre in the presence of Byron, Leigh Hunt, and Tselawny. The Hollowing is one of the finest sonnets in tlie,language, and to -day has peculiar interest: I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stgne Stand In the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those pas- • sions read `Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal theee words ap- pear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and des- pair.' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level Bands stretch far away." EIIIATIC PEOPLE CAN FIND RELIEF By Enriching Their Bl iod With Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Rheumatism attacks people when the bloat; is clogged with impurities, thus setting up an inflammation of the muscles and joints. Cold or wet weather may start the tortures of rheumatism, but it is not the cause, az was once supposed. The cause is thin or impure blood. Rubbing with lint- * monis or applying hot applications may give relief, but that is all; the pains are soon back again. You must treat the trouble through the blood to feet rid of it. The value of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills in eases of this kind is proved by the following statement.I Miss Margaret M, Cullen, writing on behalf of her grandmother, Mrs. A.1 11icEwen, Ormstown, Que., says:—"My 'grandmother, new 85 years of age, was,' some years ago, a great sufferer from rheumatism. She tried many reme- dies, but found none that did her any , good until she began using Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. These she used for', some months until every trace 'of rheumatism disappeared. Since then' she has taken the pills at intervals, and they have kept her in the best of health. It is marvellous how well and active my grandmother is. She cooked the dinner for the threshers last fall, and she gives the coedit for her good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, She is anxious that her experience with this splendid medicine be given for the benefit of others." If you are suffering from any trou- 1 le due to poor or watery blood Dr. Williams, Pink Pills will help you.

All' the advertising in the world and prove from the very first, gained, 29 all the wales° efforts combined could not have made the great success for TANLAC that has been attalted, un less this reconstructive tonic possess- ed merit of the greatest degree". Over 40 Million Bottles of Tanlac have been sold and the demand to -day is greater than ever before. That TANLAC possesses merit and has brought relief to hundreds of thousands of persons is attested by the great number of testimonials that have been received by the company from people in every state of the Union and every province of Canada. There are over 100,000 suck statements on file with the companyea11 ringing with sin- cere praise for TANLAC and what it has accomplished. - Here are excerpts from a few of the 100,000 statements on file: Mrs. Edward Gibbs, Lancaster, Pa.— "Por 2 years indigestion deprived me of nearly all the pleasure of living. If it had not been for TANLAC I would still be a sick and discouraged woman, for nothing else seemed to do me any good." Mrs. Mary A. Benson, Seattle, Wash.: "Following an operation my stomach and nerves seemed to give way and I became almost helpless. As a last re- sort I tried TANLAC. l began to int. lbs., and to -day am feeling fine." 0. I+ i. 11{oore, Kansas City, Mo.: "Illy stomach seemed to pain me constant- ly, food seemed to do me no good, I would bloat up erith gas, lost my strength, and could not sleep or rest, I was on the down -grade all the time. Tanlac corrected my troubles and put me in excellent shape." Thomas Lucas, Teterboro, Ontario: ':Well, sir, buying TANLAC was the beet investment I ever made, for it built up my health and strength to where I haven't a complaint in the world." Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Kaake, De- troit, Miele: "For more than a year our three children, age 2, 4 and 6, had been so peaked and lifeless that we were worried about them. Their stomachs were upset, appetites poo; the color had left their cheeks, their nights were restless and during the day they would just mope around, tak- ing no interest in play or anything else. They began to improve with the first dose of TANLAC, and to -day there are no more healthy children in Detroit." Tanlac is for sale by all good drug- gists. Over 40 million bottled Bold. Accept no substitute: Take Tanlac Vegetable Pills, Surnames and Their Origin BAYARD. Varietlons—Baird, Beard, Bird. Racial Origin --English. Source ---A nickname. Here is a family name derived from an adjective which to -day is applied almost exclusively to horses, but which in the Middle Ages was in rath- er wide usage, denoting a color. To -day you'd hardly refer to a "bay" dress or a "bay" complexion, though you would speak of a "bay" horse. Fifty years from now the word may die completely, unless the horse finds ! a new excuse for existence and avoids the doom with which the automobile is threatening him. The medieval English for "hay" was "bayard." A man might have been called "Roger 1e Bayard" or "Ude 1e Bayard" either from the color of his hair, the general impression of his complexion, or perhaps from the color of the cloth- ing which he uscaily wore. Baird is a fainly usual contraction of Bayard, though the family name of Baird sloes not in all instances trace back to the other. Likewise Beard and Bird are often logical develop- ments, though, particularly in the case of Bird, it does not follow that Bayard is always the original form of the name. No Man's Island. A house, consisting of one room, which stands in two states, three coun- ties, and four towns, at one and the same time is the proud possession of a dance -hall proprietor in the U.S.A. This unique building stands en a tiny Island on the borders of Vermont and -New Hampshire. Although the building was once used as a dwelling -house, it le now given up entirely to dancing. Standing in the middle of the dance floor, the visitor finds himself in nine different places at once. Beneath his feet is the meet- ing point of the boundaries of the. two states, of the countries of Grafton, Cale- donia and Orange, and of four towns, sae _4.yegarte, Newbury, Bath, and Haver- hill. t - Locally the place is known as "No /Ian's' Land," and is very popular as a summer dancing pavilion. But the Aver is slowly eating its way into the centre of the little island, and it seems ' likely that before long it will bore a way right through both islet and liouss. Meantime, the proprietor thanks his lucky stars, that only one of the towns, HaveglrilI, sends along ilio tax polled -ter. Small minds . are captivated_ by trifles.

Source—An occupation. There is a wealth of knowledge to be gained through a study of nomen- clature of the industrial as well as of the social conditions in ringland dur- ing the Middle Ages. Virtually every occupation of any importance in that period has been preserved to us, in one or more family names, and if you find an ocoupattion or profession which has not so been commemorated, it is only because the occupation did not exist at the period of family name formation, or because it is known to -day by a comparatively modern term. Thus we have no fam- ily names "Doctor" or "Physician," though we do have "Leech," We have no family name "Automanufaoturer," though we have "Cartwright" Tanning and leathermaking, how- ever, were among the most important industries of Medieval England, like the various branches of the textile in- dustry, particularly those handling woollen fabrics,. "Le Skynnere" ("the skinner") was quite naturally the surname most of- ten conferred by his. neighbors on the man who made his living by stripping skins from the carcasses of animals. A Poor Husband.

Not man.y men have chosen to leave their fortunes to Members of the Royal Family in the matter of the late Lord Farquhar. -Under the terms of his will, Prince George receives $10,- 000 and Princess Maud oar Lard Car- negie, $250,000, while other royal bene ficieries are the King and Queen, Queen Alexandra, the Princess Royal and Princess Arthur of Connaught. ' The largest gift ever willed by a subject to a British• soyereiign was that Of $2,500,000, which fell to Queen Vic- toria on the death of one John Camden Neild, who died in 1862, ' The son of a London goldsmith, Neild succeeded to $1,250,000 on his father's death, but being of a miserly disposition, he lived in poverty. After his death he was found to.have left the whole of his property, with the ex- ception of a few legacies, to "Her. Gracious Majesty Queen Victeela;, beg- ging Her Majeaty's• most g ar1(us ac-. ceptance of the same for her sole use and benefit." Another man, who remembered the sovereign in hie will was, Sir Ernest Cassel, who, on his death in 1921, left property to the value of thirty mil- lion dollars. His London residence, Brook House, Park Lane, may one day become a home of the Royal Family, for Sir Ernest directed that in the event of the death without issue of his daughter, the house and its contents should be offered: as a gift to the then reigning sovereign.

Elderly People i Need More Iron nn the :iced To Give Added Strength, Vitality, and Greater Pow- etr of Resistance Against Disease. IRON is constantly leaving the body, especially toward the period of middle age'and you must make up for this iron deficiency if you want to escape' disease and be strong and well. When the iron in your blood runs low, signs of old age creep into your system. If there is not enough iron circulating the blood -stream becomes thin, pale and watery, the body weak and run- down. In such cases ordinary iron - containing foods seldom supply a eufacient quantity of this important element to make up for the waste so that many physicians now prescribe, a conoentratod form of organics iron— Nuxated Iron—which contains iron like the iron in your blood. Actual blood tests show that a tremendously large number of people who aro weak and ill lack iron in their blood. If you aro not sure of your own condition, go to your doctor and have frim take your blood -count and see where you stand or else make the following test yourself Seo how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired; next take two five -grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three, times per day after meals for two weeks. Then teat your strength again and see how much you have gained. By enriching the blood and creating new ,red blood cells Nurated Iron strengthens the nervosa rebuilds the weakened tissues and helps to instill renewed energy and power into She whole system. Unlike the older inorganic iron products, Notated Iron is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black nor upeet the stomach.
