It is suggested that the cause in question may have been oil from sunk- en ships, which, if present in con- siderable quantities, would' -be very destructive to young "fry" swimming in schools at the surface.

BABY'S HEALTH I asked this queetion of a success- fel poultryman. "Because they go on strike," he answered, without smiling. "it's the truth," he continued, noting my look of incredulity. "They strike the same as we hunn ti ; do, but net for more wages, of course. They strike for bet- ter food. Hens must have green food to make good layers. "When I first entered the poultry business I noticed this sante thing, and I often wondered at it, After e: perimenting a while, I learned the cause. It was the lack of green food that kept them from 'eying well in winter, ea I luwe overcome this by having greens akvays at hand for ;feedings "Cabbage and beets are the beet, but a variety is sometimes necee:sarr•.

IN THE SPRING. The Spring is a time ot anxiety to mothers who have little ones in the home. Conditions make it necessary to keep the baby indoors. He is often, confined to overheated, badly venti- lated rooms and catches colds which+ rack his whole system. To guava'. against this a box of Baby's Own Tab- lets should be kept in the house and an occasional dose given the baby to keep his stomach and bowels working regularly. This will prevent colds, coustiihatian or colic and keep baby. well. The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mull at 25 cents a box from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co.. I3roeltville, Out.

Later, a few standard trees, such as the asst, elm, and maple, may be planted individually near the buildings to provide shade.— Norman M. Ross, Dominion Forest Nursery Station, Indian iload.

Was the actual setting when the sun'a lower edge Cr upper edge touched the horizon? Experience has shown how neces- sary it was to have the point deter- mined beyond question. That celebrated meteorologist, Ralph Abercromby, for example, once saw the sun's erinis•an ball about one- third below the horizon, and it took no less than half an hour in all for it to sink its own breadth, whereas on the equator be had seen it sink the same distance in a couple of minutes. Instances such as these have been takenn i to full c aid ration and, for- tunately a clear understanding has now been arrived, at among seientists on this important matter. Sunset, they have decided, is the moment when the upper edge of the sun reaches the horisou. At the same time, due account has to be taken of the state of the atmos- phere, the height above sea -level from which the setting sun is observe& and the nature of the horizon, whether it is bounded by shilis or other lofty ob- structions.

These sufferers are pain- fullYsensitive a and easilyhlya agitated by some chance remark:. Sleeplessness robs them of energy and strength; a their eyes are sunken and their limbs tremble; appetite is poor and memory i often fails. This nervous exhaustion l is one of the most serious evils at fecting men and women of to -day. I The only way to bring back sound, (vigorous health is to feed the starved nerves, which are clamoring for better I blood. This new blood can be had through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which have a direct action on the blood, and through the blood on the nervous system. That a fair use of this medicine will bring satisfac- tory results is shown by the experi- ence of Mrs: Marsh, Bass River, N,S., who says: "Following a run down con- dition, I became practically a nervous wreck. The doctor who was called. in saki the trouble was inflammation of the nerves: It grew so bad that Practically 1 bad no control of my lower limbs, and had to go about with crutches. Quite aside from my suf- fering I had a small family and a baby in arms to care for and i became much. discouraged, as I did not appear to be growing better. One evening my husband met an aged doctor on. the street and told him of my condition. He asked my husband who was at- tending ttending me, and when told said: "I don't want to interfere, but why not try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,' My husband got me a supply of these pills and after -taking a few boxes I was able to go about with the use of one crutch.. Continuing the use of the pills I was able to discard the other crutch as well, and was as active as ever I had been. There are many in this neighborhood who know what my con- dition was when I began the use of Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills and who know what this medicine did for me, and I hope my experience may help some'other sufferer. Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Orkin ROSE Racial Origin—English. Source—A flower or color. The family name of Rose, simple as it seems, is one that is full of com- plexities. While there is one source from which It appears reasonably cer- tain that a very large proporlon of the families which bear it can trace it, there are many other possibilities .pre- sented upon which little light can be thrown. In the case where the word is combined with another in the forma- - ;•tion of a family name the tracing of . ;the source is simple, though the trail ;leads in an opposite- direction so of - ;ten as to make it doubtful how often the name of Rose itself is really re- lated to these compounds. The one certain source of the name lies in the custom of tradesmen of the 'middle ages, erecting. signs in front of their places of business, bearing pictures rather than -words, since the bulk of the' population could not read. The rose was in quite common use for this purpose, and, in the natural course of events, such tradesmen as need it often adopted Rose as a sur- name, or had it thrust upon them in the speech of their neighbors and cus- tomers. In some instances, no doubt (but how often is a question for specula- tion) the name is- a changed spelling or the old word for "red," which has given us such names as Russell, Ron sell and Ross, and the word russet, or a change dspelling of the name Ross —which, in its turn, however, is not always certainly derived from this source. Rose is the name of an ancient but small clan in Scotland, yet the name does not appear to be of Gaelic origin. Indeed, authorities differ as to the or- igin of the clan itself., the ancient home of which was in Nairnshire, some accounts declaring that the name was originally "de Roos," and that the clan was of Norman-French origin. Others declare it to be. of Norwegian origin, and claim that it first used the name of Geddes: The clan first appears in history the time of King Alexander III., the last Celtic monarch of Scotland, toward the close of the thirteenth century. 4POSTUM CEREAL • Is I.

That Is the striking thing about perhaps the most remark- able memorial of the war—a trench on the=French front between Thiaumont and Douaumont that was occupied by the third company of the 137th Regi- ment. According to one story, a shell exploded on the parapet and buried the inen alive as they stood. Accord- ing,.to another 'story, the Germans took the trench, crumbled and shat- tered by shell fire, after all its de- fenders were either wounded or killed, and then hurriedly filled it in, and to mark the spot left the guns of the dead soldiers upright beside them. Whichever story is true, the bayonet trench dramatically shows how heroic was the defence of Verdun. An Ameri- can, Mr. George F. Rand, was so much moved at the sight that he:built over the trench a monument to perpetuate the memory of the brave"poilus buried below. That monument was dedicated last December with appropriate cere- nioni.es.
