Newspaper advertisements have an irresistible fascination for me, Sometimes 1 know 1 shouldn't take the time to read them—but 1 always do. Of course, I don't mean that 1 al- ways read then ALL, but I cer- tainly read sorne every day, i even read the men's ads, There is a certain satisfaction in sur- prising one's husband with up-to-date information on things Only men are supposed to be interested in.. 1 used to have a prejudice against Life Insurance until I read the advertisements. i thought the premiums were toe much for my husband to pay, but an advertisement i read changed my opinion .about that at once, And 1 got my husband to make a will and appoint a Trust Company as his executor because of an advertisement I. read about it, which set me thinking. But, Of course, the advertise - menta that interest me most are those of domestic things. Whenever l order groceries for instance, I find myself asking for the things whose, names are familiar to me through reading the advertisements lathe news- papers. They may not be ben ter than others, but as 1 don't know the names of others how can I tell? Goods that are at- tractively and regularly adver- tised always strike me as pros- perous, and prosperous things must be good, otherwise they wouldn't be prosperous, would they? And when 1 am buying things for my toilet i 'always buy the well-known things, although salesgirls try to sell me others sometimes. 1 never let them, though. Why buy the unknown when you can be sure of the quality of the known? And I find my friends like to talk about the well-known things that they eat or use or wear—like foods, canned soups, cheese, washing machines, cor- sets, gloves and things like that. So there must be some- thing in a name after all. The way I feel about it is that no business man would spend a lot of money to advertise a poor article; therefore, those things that are advertised must have' superior qualities about them. And I have found that adver- tised articles, far from costing more than unadvertised goods, can very often be bought for less. At least you know what you should pay for them—the makers tell you generally in their advertisements. As for the advertisements o, the stores, some of them aro not as attractive as many of the more general advertise. ments, but 1 just couldn't shot without them. You see, 1 am like many other women. 1 have a young family, and I cannot get out too often during the day. But I read the store ad- vertisements regularly, and by doing so know just what is be- ing sold, and I can always tele- phone my order if 1 can't go out conveniently that day. That, I think; is the great value of advertisements to women in the home. They do keep one well informed. Don't you think so? When Moslems Mourn. The orthodox Turk of the Moslem religion wears no mourning, nor do the Osmanli tribes observe periodsof seclusion after the death of a aelative. Women friends pay visits of con- dolence ondolence to the harem, but the inmates, after thanking their guests for their formal expresion of sympathy and good wishes for their future freedom from bereavement, speak calmly and (resignedly of the departed. If a child, has, died the mother and 'her' relatives even rejoice before their friend% Itis considered sinful to. mourn over the death of a child.,. ` On the other hand, it is considered an act of filial duty tomourncon- stantly for lost parents, and to pray oneceasingly for their forgiveness and. aoceptanceby Allah, i .On the occasion -of the death of a ersan in good circumstances, gifts e made to the poor from among his r her. personal effects, and Money is. yen to the 'needy in the neighbor• j ood; Three days after the funeral a Owe batch : of '"loukma"-a kind of ieje glenut--is made, and plates -of it eiSeeksent to friends, The poor also re - r...

That Summer day from early dawn, his hours in play were event,, The other fellow„• came et eight and. all on fun were bent; They dug a cave, they built a fort,. went . rafting on the creels, Played "Iu,dians" la the meadow lot, baseball and hide and seek, At noon they picnickedon the lawn„ a luncheon fit for kings, With chicken., berries, lemonade and ' cake and, other things, And after that they went to fish and after that a. swim; Then dinner came • and all the boys were asked to cline with him; And after that the fun went on; 'twas such .a glorious. day It seemed as though they'd never get toe -half enough of play, At nine o'clock they called him in;; 'twee ,c,4rely time they said, For little boys as tired as he to tumble into bed, And though he vowed he wasn't tired and begged they'd let hirn stay, Outside for just an hour or so to finish up his play, They ordered liim to bed at pace in Ural but kindly tones, Nor heeded that he filled the Infuse with dismal howls and moans, Mr that he shoutedfrom the stairs through all his tears and grille; "W never nave—Bo-hoot l oo'hoo-'-ono bit of a good timet" —Fitz, Sylvester, "De Swanee Ribber." Aa interesting story is told regard - the popularons regard- ing one ofmost s P, in the world, "The .01d Felice At Home," Its author was, Stephen .Collins Fos- ter, who has been called. "-America's I premier balladiet." He wrote oat) Iran -- Urea and seventy sou including "Old Kentucky Home," 4"0111 Black Joe," and "Old Uncle Ned." When he had written "The Old Folks At Homo," lie wds displeased with the name of the river given fn the second verse; in the original the verse runs: Way down upon de Pedee ribber, Far, far away. Dere's wha my heart is turning abhor, ilere's wha my bruddera piny. He asked his brother Morrison for u better name for the river • "What Southern stream do nen sug- gest instead of 'Pedee'?" Morrison offered Yazoo, which Stephen thought wouldn't do. "Well, let's consult an atlas," said Morrison. On a slap of Florida they found a little river called. Swaim. "That'sit exactly," cried Stephen. Although millions of Copies of Fos- ter's songs were sold, his life was a tragic one. He gave his first two songs to a friend. who trade ten thousand dollars out of them. Marry- ing in 1450, his life was very unhappy. Eventually he went to New York, where he became a vagabond.. It was at this period of his, life that he strayed one day into a shop and, sitting at a piano, won from the keys, the wistful pleading tune, "Come where my love lies' dreaming." A man who was present offered him five dollars for the song, and he accepted gratefully. Foster died in a public ward at the Bellevue Hospital, New York, and is entered on the records as a laborer. Chasing a Bear. Any onewho bas seen a bear walk knows how slowlyhe seems to move, and -his run is a shuffling, lumbering gait that is comical to witness, unless ire happens to be running after you. Rut a bear moves pretty fast notwith- standing appearances, and the grizzly, which looks to be clumsier than the brown or the black bear, can cover ground faster than the average horse. An Arizona sheep rancher was rid- ing in the foothills when he saw a big, awkward silvertip. He had a rifle, but was not certain he could kill the bear at one shot and knew that he would get into trouble if he missed. So lie gave a regular cowboy yell and the bear started away in alarm. The man gave chase, at the same time keeping up the piercing yell, and he soon noticed that the grizzly was getting further away. He continued the chase for nearly two miles, until the bear disappeared in the mountains, and he had not gained a foot. In going back over the trail he no- ticed places where the bear had made jumps of fifteen or twenty feet, and the ground had been cut up by his claws so that it looked as if a harrow had been run over it. The Newest Auto. Accessory. Have you a wireless telephone ane in your automobile? It is a brand-new' and most useful contrivance, specially adapted forthe purposes of any business man who wishes to keep in touch with his, an ace. Needless to say, it may be ser- viceable in many other ways. Pour parallel -copper wires stretched around the top of the car serve the purpose of antennae, fastened to posts at the corners and connected with the automobiles engine. The instrument, using only a small partof the auto battery current, works' satisfactorily . up to five miles. -In stalled, it costs only about $50. Asdcle from the many business uses to which the autophone may be put, it will prove of great aid in procuring a., istance in case of accident wihich has not put the batteries out of com- mission. It is, hardly conceivable that the tourist will be out or range of some instrument, and he has but to send his call four help into the air to be certain: one will hear it annd respond, be the "trouble" a puncture or, serious, mishap. . _ Russia Needs Three Billions t Y JP limp! 1 1Cis � ',j,. 1 1 i 1 Ati/. for ReCOreStt'tpetiOn. According to a recent study made FRoll ST, >1i" US DAVE by Professor Goldstein, of the Mcecow University, Russia requires e3,650,= 000,000 to be set going again in a nor- mal way. The account in millions is made up as follows: About 40,000 miles of railways to he built in ten years. 550; new locomo- tives and cars, also repairs to the: existing rolling stock, 350; steel cars aped street paving and bridges, 300, country roads, 150; the river embank- ments, canal works, 400; Barbar works 100; telegraphs and telephones, 100; waterworks and .sanitary plants in towns said villages, 200; light and power in electric central stations, 200; school' buildings, 200; agricultur- al machinery and` implenieuts, 400; subventions for cattle and poultry rearing, also new stables, 490 restart- ing and rebuilding coal mines and iron and steel works, 400; mechanical plant for producing agricultural and electrical machinery, 100. It is painted out that these error mous outlayswould not cover all the needs, as only a part of industry and rebuilding is considered in the present estimate. Besides, s large s r g cans z o u' ld be needed to restart the former stooks and eheniloals and artificial manure, for textile and all sorts of goods and also tor general tooling for factories and school implements, No approxi- mate calculation is possible in this re- spect, Evidently the problem presents itself as nearly impossible of solu'tlou, Timber Cut in Summer.

IS THERE A BABY The l'i aaseles o the Hands, Face and Hedy Affected St, Vitus dance is a disease of the nerves brought on by a morbid con- dition of the blood. It is common with children, and attacks girls more fre- quently Than boys. ' irritability is fre- quently one cf the first signs noted.' The child frets, is quarrelsome and does not sleep well. The jerky leave - Meets that characterize the disease coarse a little later. The limbs and sometimes the wenee body jerks spas- modically, and in severe .cases the - power of speech is affected., Such a child should not be allowed, to study, but should be kept quiet, given a nutri- tlous diet, remain out of doors as much as possible. Dr. Williams" Pink Pills will help the blood restore the scattered nerves. The value of these Pills in cases of this kind is shown by the fo'-lowieg statenieat from airs,. Frank Reynolds, Windsor, N.S., who say s• "When a young gIrl IBuff suffered very severely from St. Vilus dance, I could not keep still for a moment. If 1 tried to handle dishes I broke them, and could not safely attempt to hold a thing in my hands, No matter what was done for me I could not control the twitelting in ally face and body. 11ty parents gave me several remedies, but they dict not help lie, Then One day my father iarought home a hair dozen boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After two boxes had been taken there was an improvement in my con- dition. 13y the time the last box was gone, to guy own great joy and relief to our family, MY condition was nor- mal, and I have since enjoyed good health. I never lose an opportunity to say a good word for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

"The bottom is in sight." So one man said, and from the look on his face you would think he had already struck bottom and struck it hard. The neighbor who was listening was not slow in responding. "I3ut I'm not looking for the bottom, Sam,. What 1 want to see is the top." Good for that man! Ile is bound to win the best 'there is. No truer say- Ing ever was expressed than that we get what we are •looking for in this world. Look for hard luck, and no horseshoe over the door can keep it away. Keep the eyes open for the good, and no rainy new moon ever IN YOUR HOME? dawns upon one. Is there a baby or young children in your home? If there is you should.not be without a box of Baby's Own Tab- lets, Childhood ailments come quick- ly uickly and means should always be at hand to promptly light them. Baby's Own Tablets are the ideal home remedy, They regulate the bowels; sweeten the stomach; banish consti- pation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers—in fact they relieve all the minor ills of little ones. Con- cerning them Mrs. Moise Cadotte, Ma- kanlik, Que., writes: "Baby's Own Tablets are the best remedy in the world for little ones. My baby suffer- ed terribly tem indigestion and vomit- ing, but the Tablets, soon set her right and now she is in perfect health." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Rough Shave. "How is the razor, sir?" asked the barber. "Didn't know I was being shaved," said the victim. "Very glad, I'm sure, sir," began the barber, feeling flattered. But the victim cut him short. "I thought I wasbeing sandpapered." Is the bottom in sight? So is the top, and the going is always fine that way, The road toward the bottom is rough anti stony and the landing hard, One who has been that way knows how sore his shins have been after- ward. The top! It is a grand place to bel And there is this wonderful thing about it. No man ever reaches the top and stops there. Up and still up leads the way, and the higher we get the happier we are and the more good we can do in the world. Let's quit saying, "The bottom is in sight." Talk the new language of the topmost round! Sing it, morning, noon and night! Whistle it every- where you go, and be sure no hard -luck stories dim your sight! Literary Proverbs.

As these family names appear in different languages there is very little of similarity in sound or spelling among there. Yet in their meanings and the manner in which they origin- ated, they are exactly the same. In England, at the period when Fami- ly names began to form, that is to say, at the period when given names ceased to be enough to identify a man as a result of •rapid inelease of popu- lat1ons, a man living near an orchard would be spoken of as "Will atte Or- chard" ("at the Orchard"), and in the course of time the prellx "atte" being` dropped, the shame became Orchard. In Germany the name of Baumgar- ten ("tree -garden") developed in ex-, actly the same manner. Bogart does not look much like Baumgarten to -day. But supply an "m" after the "o," and replace the lost ending "en" and you'll get "i3omgar- ten," which is the same as the German Baumgarten. • The prefix "van:der" indicates clear ly _that this •fora} originated on the lIa)rau�d;and Flander•s,eoast< ;•" ' WILLARD Variation—Willer. Racial Origin—English. Source—A given name. The family name of Willard is al- most a straight development from an ancient Teutonic given name which was not at all uncommon among the Anglo-Saxons of ancient England. The ancient Teutons were quite fond of names indicating strong and sturdy character, as is evidenced byfhe great number of their given names in which "wil" appears. This word was also the source of our modern English noun "will." Willard meant "sturdy wfll„ A fair proportion of the Saxon given naives survived the period -following the Norman conquest, during which the Anglo-Saxon tongue was suppress- ed in favor or the French of the Nor- mans, though many of the Saxon names were lost during this period, to- gether with the language, : but, unlike the language, not to be revived as, the Norman element of the population gradually melted into the numerically. superior Saxons. Willard was one of the given names which did survive, like William, Wii- fred, Edmund, Edward and others.

"Thieving, is it he was after, then, the blackguard?" said one of the drain diggers. "Sure, we would have stop. Ped him if we had known. 'Ve thought he was only after having a shot at somebody."
