Mr. Haden Gliea't, one of the secre- taries of the British Labor Delegation to Russia, tells the story. The vast population of 200,000,000 is ruled by a minority of 600,000. These 600,000 impose their will upon the 200,000,000 by machinery that • is quite novel in the history of revolu- tion. The various villages and workshops are supposed to elect Soviets or Coun- cils'. These, in their turn, elect dele- gates to the Annual Congress of Sov- iets, which elects the Central Execu- tive, from which are selected the Soviet of People's Commissars, or the. •Cabinet. But the Government is really run by the Bolshevist party, which is in the :.nature of a close corporation or ex. elusive society. The members must give themselves up to the party body and soul. It is a sort of military brotherhood run by the Central Committee' of the Communist party, which is the primary force of Bolshevism and directs the whole movement. The Central Committee consists of thirteen men—five journalists, two professional revolutionaries., two law- yers, and four working men. This body really determines who are to be mem- bers of the village and factory Soviets, the Annual Congress, the Central Exe- r .cutive, and the Soviet of „People's •Commissars. Erse Speech Banned. Ia other words, all these oodles are the creatures of the Central Commit- tee. So if you want to "get on" in -the Bolshevist world, the great point ,is to get on the Central Committee. Then everything else happens. _ The Cabinet consists of six men who are really Czars, for they wield terrific power. They are Lenin, Trotsky, Sverdiov, Rekoff, Stealth, and. Tztuupa. The full Cabinet Consists of fifteen —three lawyers, three doctors, two Journalists, two engineers, one aristo- crat, and one working man. The Cabinet are bitter revolution - ries, whose minds have been warped - by the atrocities of the old system under the Czar. Consequently, the .Bolshevists do not believe in fre•o •epeecli or a free Press. They do not .allow any opposition when they are doing what they think is for the peo- ple's good. iVlost of them are not out V. buy. money, but enjoy all that money Mr, Guest travelled down the Volga with Sverdlov, who has his own psi -vete steamship, which carries a motor- car and a small sailing yacht. Sverd- lav also has his, own special train, with a speoial chef of no mean order. Sverdlov told Mr. Guest that he be- lieves in ruthless. discipline. If a man gets drunk he is shot! Mr, Guest went to see Lenin, whom he found surrounded by soldiers and disinfectants—the latter to ward off the deadly typhus, now so prevalent in Russia. Lenin was very cross with the pea- sants who declined to part with their grain for paper roubles. "They will have to be brought to book by force," he said. Lenin was also very strong on the .subject of free speech. He said: "Why should the Government allow itself to be criticized if it feels it is doing right and acting for the good of everybody? If the Government is apposed with rifles, it shoots down the people who are carrying them. An idea is much more explosive than a rifle. Therefore, why allow people to circulate ideas which •stay interfere with the 'Govern- ment policy?" AUTO SPARS PARTS for moat makes and models or Aar.. Your old. broken or worst -out parts replaced.

Vancouver Island was named after Captain George Vancouver, of the British Nay.y, who discovered it in 1792, and lies an estimated area of 15,000 square miles. Its trees, among them the stately Douglas fir, which. towers 300 feet above the roads over which the traveller glides by auto- mobile, or by the E'squimalt & Atonal- moRailway, which runs northward through half the length of the island, are magnificent beyond description, some of them being 6 or 7 feet in diameter. Along the road are many comfortable hotels and country chalets. many of them like the inns one finds on English country roads. Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, is a city of rare charm with its beautiful drives, its golf courses, its Chinese (marter, its turbanned Rindoos its Empress Hotel and its beautiful Capitol buildings. Every year at least 5,000 American golfers; visit one course in Victoria, the Vic- toria iatoria Golf Club course, and thousands of automobiles leave Seattle annually for Victoria and Vancouver.

Tablets but they soon made him healthy and happy and now I would not be without them." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. "The Bible is the only news -book in the world.

That part of East Africa which is travereeti by the Uganda Railway has long beer,. noted as a big game country, but few stay-at-home Britons realize how plentiful the wild animals are there. A Government official, whose work has taken him into one of the game preserves writes as follows in The London Poet from a camp pitched oaly four miles from the rail- way and within twenty miles of Nairobi: "As I sit writing 1n my tent I can. see through the door at least four thousand head of game feeding on the plains. There is one group not four hundred yards away'. They consist of wildebeest, hartebeest, Grant's gazelle, Thomson's gazelle, impalty ostriches, waterbuck, eland and hundreds of zebra.

Surnames and Their Origin AMES. Variations—Eames, Eines, Yeames. Racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon. Source—A relationship. • Family names, of course, are; not the result of any scientifically cre- ated system of nomenclature. Orig- inally they just happened, and since then they have merely grown. They were seldom the result of adoption by tI1e persons who bore thele. At first they were not used in addressing the persons who bore them, They were instead descriptive phrases invented on the spur of the moment in the con- versation or writings of other per- sons, to differentiate one John, or Roger, or Peter from another. They stuck and grew not because the bearers liked them, but because the bearers' neighbors found them convenient labels. As a matter of fact, most of the surnames applied to the individual citizens of the Mid- dle Ages did not stick and become family names as we use them to -day. It was only in the exceptional ease that the surname "took" to -the ex- tent of becoming hereditary. On the other hand, so many 'surnames would be pinned on a family line in the course of several generations that in time one of them was bound .to stick and become hereditary. Millions ,,of times the custom must have found expression of distinguish- ing "John the Father" from "John the Uncle," or "John the Cousin," In a comparatively small number of cases such a surname as "the Uncle" would have stuck sufficiently to become a family name. But then it would be passed, down to an increasing num- ber of persons with each generation. But, at the period when family names were forming in England, the common name for "uncle" was the old Anglo-Saxon word "eame," which since has become obsolete. But with its original significance lost, it has conte down to us in the family navies of this group, all of which at first meant "Uncle's Son." Indisposition is only temporary and - will be outgrown in time. Often such illnesges are not serious enough to require the attention of a doctor, but will respond to intelligent home treat- ment if a reliable remedy is used. Wo- men, busy with a multitude of house- hold cares, young women in offices or stores, or girls studying hard In school, easily fall a prey to that con- dition of bloodlessness known as anaemia. The trouble, need not 'be serious if prompt, effective measures are taken to check it in its early stages, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will restore the elements needed to bring the blood back to strength, and once the blood regains its healthy quality the entire body will show the benefit. Among the many who have found benefit through the use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills is Mrs. James J. Johnston, of Peterboro, Ont„ who says: "I can personally strongly re- commend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills be- cause of what they have done for me. About two years ago I felt poorly, was terribly weak, nervous and run down. I was easily annoyed and worried, and my heart would flutter at the least exertion. i tried several remedies but did not find a cure until I took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I took seven boxes in all and am now enjoying per- fect healthandhave gained in weight.• I calculate the cost small when I think of the benefit I received, and. I recommend the pills to all weak people." Rich, red blood is the whole secret of good health, and from the first to the last dose Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enrich and purify the blood. You can get these pillsthrough any medi- cine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for t 2.50, from The Dr. Williams' Medicine au., Brockville, Ont. What the Doctor Did. Brown's little one was ailing and on his way to work he sent up the doc- tor. When he got home in thereiiene ing he asked her what the doctor had said. "Nothing, papa." "Then, what did he do, dear?" "Oh, he just telephoned me all over," was the child's reply. CARROLL Variations—Charles, Carlton, Karl - eon, Carlson, Earls, Carrel. Racial Origin—English, also French and German. Source—A given name. The given naive of Charles, from which a great many family • navies have sprung in various languages and through various methods. of de- velopment, is a humble name, though it has been borne by many kings.. It was the name of one of the great- est monarchs the world has ever known. Charlemagne (Charles the Great), at one period in the early Middle Ages built up out of the com- paratively unorganized, antagonistic and unruly Germanic tribes a mighty empire, which embraced virtually all of what to -day is France and Ger- many. But this empire split when death robbed. it of the only person- ality that could have held it together. It was the name of many kings in Anglo-Saxon England and among the Germanic peoples of northern Europe at the same period, and appears in history in a form that was almost a family name at this period many een- turies before family names :became. general. It was the custom in those days for zoyel families to take given ( names which were similar. Thus one family would show a preponderance of nanies beginning in "Ed," such .es Edward, Edmund aied Edwin. Such royal families Were commonly refer- red to by the use of the all -embrac- ing ending "ing," which had some- thing both as a tribal and family sig- nificance. Thus we hear the "Karl- ings" spoken of.

The fact that the Chinese give evi- dence of decided ideas of their own as to the use of colors in materials, wrap- pings and poster advertising, was re- cently commented upon in the Cin- cinnation. Such prejudices have been known to cause a Chinese customer to change his patronage merely because of the coloring of packing paper used. Thottgh. no definite rule can be applied to all commercial uses of color, it can he generally said that the gold, yellow, red, bright brown, purple and certain, shades of pink are good colors.
