Proper food, fresh air and a good 'tonic will keep most people in good health. Hurried meals, indoor cote ifinemeutin badly ventilated rooms: and lack, of exercise causes anaemia, In this condition Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a popular tonic. They con- ,`fain no habit forming drugs, and al ways have a beneficial effect through enriching the blood and strengthening the nerves. For growing gins, who become thin and pale; for pale, tired women and for old people who fail in strength, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an ideal tonic. Their benefit in anae- mic conditions is shown by the case of Miss Lucy A. Steeves, Hillsboro, N.B., who says: "Last spring I was in poor health, and completely run down.. I had severe headaches, the least ex- lertion would cause my heart to palpi- tate violently, my appetite wasepoor, and at times I had fainting spells. This went on for some months, and al- though I was taking medicine, I seem- ed to be growing weaker, and the least exertion would leave me worn out. ` n on Th the advice of a friend, . I echanged the treatment to Dr. Williams" Pink Pills, and I have great cause to be thankful that I did ea, as they have Made a wonderful improvement la nay condiEion. I eau now work wiWaut. rtatigue, go upstairs without becoming breathless, and Alava gained in weight. 1 think these pills are an ideal medi- cine in cases like mine." You can get Jr. Williams' Pink Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' elediblue Co., Br"ockviele, Ont. — The Job Lot.

Surnames and Their Origin GORMAN Variations --O'Gorman, MacGorman. Racial Origin --Irish. Source --A given name. "':'ii'Ciomafn" is the Gaulle form of this family name. the Anglicized de- velopment of which vary from the original principally by the elimination of the "I" and in most cases the drop-- ping rop.ping of the "Mac" or the "0." The given name from which the ;fancily name was formed, at first as a 'clan name, was "Gorman," exactly the sante as the form of the family name most frequently met with, to -day. The ending "main" instead of "man" in the Gaelic clan name is merely inflection. ,The possessive case of the given name, of course, had to be used in connection with the preilx "Mae" ("son of"). The given name had a meaning of "illus- trious." One of the most powerful clans of ancient Ireland, from both the in- fluential and numerical point of view, was that of the "O'Connors," and a great many of the Irish clans formed at a later period were branches of the O'Connors. The ltlaeGormains were one of these. It was formed, apparent- ly, about 650 A.D., and its founder was a direct descendant of "Gathair Mor," an O'Connor who was King of Lein - :ger and the 109th monarch of all Ire- land in 119 A.D. The MacGormains themselves, how- ever, became a very powerful clan throughout the Middle Ages. POW ERs Variations---Porson. Racial Origin --Welsh. Source --A given name, No. The first bearers Of this family name were not necessarily powerful num. Tile name is a Welsh one„ and has no connection with our English ward "power." "Powys." was. a ,given name of rather widespread popularity among the Welsh of the Middle Ages, having been the naine of a famous chieftain, a des- cendant of tbe "Lend," who was the father of the leader "Mandebrog" of Welsh tradition, and the "Mandebrati• us" of the Romans' British history. The endings of both forms, Powers and Parson, indicate English influence, and more than likely developed, for the most part, in England at first, whore the natural procedure was to refer to the son by the name of his father with the suffix "son" added. It is to be noted that in the case porson, whore the pronunciation `was not diffi- cult, that the ending has been pre- served. But "Powyrson" is a little clumsy, and where "Powyr" was not elided to 'neon" all but the "s" of the "son" has, been dropped from the end- ing of the fancily naive at some period after ft ceased to be truly descriptive• and settled down into a. sort of "tag" for the family with the original mean- ing overlooked. In some instances, too, the name un- doubtedly came into being iii Wales at a later period when English customs and speech became more general there. i Do you know what constitutes a strong constitution? To have sound, healthy nerves, completely under control, digestive organs that are capable of absorbing a hearty meal, means you have a strong constitution! Your general attitude -is one of optimism and energy. But an irritable disposition, frequent attacks of indigestion, and a languid depression, indicate your system is not in correct working order. Probably you 'are not eating the proper food. Probably the nutritious elements are not being supplied to your system in the proper way. Grape -Nuts is the wholesome, delicious cereal that promotes normal digestion, absorption and elimi- nation, limnination, whereby nourishment is accomplished 'with- out auto -intoxication. A mixture of energy -giving wheat and malted barley comprise the chief elements of Grape -Nuts. A dish at breakfast or lunch is an excellent, wholesome rule to follow. You can order Grape -Nuts at any and every hotel, restaurant, and lunch room; on dining cars, on lake boats and steamers in every good grocery, large and. small, in every city,' town or village, in Canada. - Grape -Nuts the Body Builder "There's a Reason" } A Just Judge, In the early mining days of British Calumbla the adnuintstr'.iltion of the law, though crude, had its good points. The trials were short and to the point.. There were none of the "law's delays," for generally, being a miner himself, the judge did not like any too well to leave his gold sluice and sit la court. The crown ollioer .appointed the jus.' tices of the peace; and in snore than' one camp the "'boys" asked that th office be given to some pian, who they counted on to provide not ozu justice but some entertainment. S the trials were often amusing as we as short. In Cariboo a miner whom we she call Smith was appointed justice of the peace who, whatever his tailings, had wit and a sumo Bense of right and WHEN BABY IS ILL When the baby is i11; when he cries. a great deal and no amount of attere tion or petting makes hien happy, Baby's Own Tablets should be given him without delay. The Tablets are a mild. but thorough laxative which re- gulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus drive out constipa- e tion and indigestion; break up colds nI and simple fevers and make teething • easy. Concerning them Mrs. Desire o Thebprge, Trois Pistols, Que., writes: II "I am well satisfied with my use of Baby's Own Tablets. I have found II them of great benefit to my baby when Fong. he day a drunken Siwash named Yakufn rode his cayuse wildly up and down the street, sheeting at the top of his lungs, After a lively fight the men succeeded in locking him up in jail. The next morning the policeman told ,judge Smith that he held the Siwash for further orders. Now the worthy justice of the peace, who had also been drinking, was in no condition to hold court. "Send hint Nana" he said thickly, "and tell him to come back to-xuorrow," "Why, judge," objected they police- roen, "lie livens.' Poor unties. out of town." ".Don't ma ex. tell him to return for trial 'to -morrow," The next day the Siwash reported he was suffering from coustipation and I can strongly recommend thein to other mothers." . -The Tablets are sold by all medicine dealers or mail at 25 cents a box from The Williams' Medicine Co.,' I3rockvi Ont. but the judge had not recovered and repeated his order. On the third morn- ing the court opened, andthe judge heard the charge. With an air of dignity he gave hie decision; "Yabrnu, you have broben the law of the lead and offended against the laws of Her Majesty the Queen and got disgracefully drunk. But I think you are punished enough, welkin' in two days to get tried. I discharge you," Then, to the astonishment of every- one, he exclaimed sternly, "Now, then, Richard Smith, stand up.' He rose. "Here you are," be went on, address - frig ltinaself, "an officer of the law sworn to keep the majesty of the law of Her Majesty the Queen, Here you get druuk and disgrace your high of- fice. You're a flue bird of a J.P. 1 line you five dollars and costs, seven dollars and: fifty cents in all." Turn - Mg, he paid aver the seven dollars and fifty cents to the clerk, resumed his seat, and said: "The Ane is paid; the court's adjourned," With huge enjoyment and, let ue hope, some admiration, the clerk wrote the whole proceedings into the records, Christ Didn't See the Leper. Christ believed that every man was a God in the making. That was the secret of His. healing. He didn't see the leper; He saw the perfect man, the God -made man who was intended to be happy and successful, the man who came on. earth with a mission, It He had seen the leper, visualized hint il) hie horrible symptoms, had seen the flesh failing off his bones, his fingers and toes becoming unjointed, He could never thave healed him. He did not see the outer man; He looked beyond that to the reality of him, the wonderful pian God had made. The greatest mental healers could do no healing if they closed their oyes and visualized their patient's illness, the cymptoms of some horrible dis- ease. How could they cure a cancer by visualizing the awful physical octo- pus spreading its poison tentacles to every part of the body, and gripping -the very vitals, of life? It would be impossilile. No, the healers do not see Cancer, or tuberculosis, oi' any other disease in the sufferer. They. see the perfect man, God's child, per- fect and immortal. They know that health is the everlasting fact, and that disease is only an appearance. Making Violins Talk. To be able to play on a violin with- out strings, the violinist being in a distant room, is one of the marvels of e new discovery by two Danish scientists. Briefly, the principle discovered is that when an electrical "pressure" is applied between certain substances they will adhere firmly. Thus a cur- rent applied in this way to a litho- graphic stone and a piece of metal will cause one to stick firmly to the other. Besides this stone, some kinds of slate, lime -stone, flint, agate, skin, and paper;, show the same results. Effects can be got even with gelatine and bone and animal membranes, but there is no attraction in the case of true insulat- ors, The violin used is an ordinary in- strument with the strings. removed. It is clamped' high up to a table, and in front of -the instrument` is, placed a rotating cylinder of agate rubbing against a piece of metal, whieh• is the direct player. The real violinist plays in another room, ane the reproduction control is perfect, On this principle the violin can reproduce the human voice. Not the First Time.
