Tile most successful treatment Is the one that most quickly relieves and banishes the pain. Many rheu- Matie people suffer pains that could be avoided by building up the blood; when rheumatism is associated with thin blood it cannot be corrected until the blood is built up, 11lr. Ed. Hail:, Main, -a -Dieu, i3 S+, suf- fered from rheumatism for years, but was more fortunate than many vie - thus of the disease for he found a remedy that so built up his entire sys- tem that he is now free from rheu- matism, Mr. Hall says: "I was taken down with rheumatism, and at times woe under the treatment of several of the best doctors in Cape Breton, but tbey held out no hope for my re- covery from the trouble. I was Con- fined to bed for three years and a help- less cripple ;from the trouble, I could not move, and had to be turned in sheets, My legs and fingers . were drawn out of shape, and sores level- aped on my body as the result of my long confinemeut in bed, I was In this serious condition when a friend ad- vised the use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills and I began taking Pent. The first benefit I felt from the pills was an improved appetite, and then I be- gan to feel stronger, and was tinnily able to getout of bed and go about on crutches. I continued tatting the pills for months, slowly but surely getting new strength, and finally I was able to lay the crutches aside. I will always be lame, as the result of my long stay in bed my left leg has shortened somewhat, but otherwise I am feeling fine and able to do my work as Fishery Overseer. I may add that when the rheumatism came on I weighed 140 pounds, and when I be- gan going about on crutches I only weighed 67 pounds, and now I am at normal weight, There are many here who know and can vouch for the truth of these statements." You can get these pills through any dealer in ;medicine, or by mail, post paid, at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr, Williams' eledi- eine Co., Brockville, Ont. Mammoths Were Starved, Many of the mammoths found frozen in Siberia have broken bones or show signs of other injuries, sug- gesting that they were killed by land- slides or falls into crevasses. It has long been accepted as fact that those huge proboscidians were speoialiy fitted by nature to withstand severe cold. But a •newly published Smithsoniau report offers a different theory. The idea it advances is that in the days when the mammoths flourished in Siberia and Nortlrorn America the climate of those latitudes was com- paratively mild. It was a great inva- sion of cold that destroyed them. If they had been able to migrate south- ward into warmer regions; tbey might have survived even to the present time; but, as it happened, they suc- cumbed to low temperature, An incidental effect of the change of climate was to impoverish the vege- tation on which they relied for food. Cold rains converted their bristly fur Into cloaks of ice. They starved and froze, and so they passed away. When they perished, conditions were such that their carcasses im- mediately froze solid, and In that state they are found to-day—the most re- markable example of cold storage on record, inasmuch as not fewer than , 150,000 years have passed since the beasts died. The tusks of the mammoth were huge,' even out of proportion to the size of .tlie animal, and so curved that in many individuals• the tips were di- rected sidewise or backward. Thus they could net leave been efficient as weapons, .and.. it is hard to imagine wheat use they really served. A DANISH COLONY IN WESTERN CANADA NEAR TOWN OF STAND- ARD, SOUTH ALBERTA. Interesting Account of a High- ly Successful and Prosperous Settlement of Hardy Danes. The Scandinavian people, Danes, Norwegians; and Swedes, are noted for their pioneering Instinct, and It is therefore not surprising to find repre- sentatives of these races in the van- guard of settlement in Western Cana- da, in which especially Danes have taken a prominent part. The Danish people, due to the limit- ed area of agricultural land In the country of their birth, are keenly ap- preciative of the value of land and its proper cultivation; indeed, they are very good Judges of soil and agricul- tural conditions and make few mis- takes in selecting loc.rtions for settle- ment, and where they settle together Mei follow agricultural pursults Pros- perous farming commutates soon de- velop. Individual Danish farmers have located in various parts of the Prairie Provinces of Canada and in some eases•, where the first families settled a sew years ago, very fine settlements of these thrifty agriculturists have sprung up. Markerville, Alberta, an early and successful Danish settlement in a flue dairy and ;nixed farming district, named after Mr. C. P. Marker, one of the first Danish settlers there, who is now Dairy Commissioner far Alberta, and the Iunisfail district, may be men- tioned, The latter district bas became noted for its dairy products owing to the fact that in their homeland the Danish settlers soon discovered the advantages of dairy farming and it was not long before a good creamery was in operation at Innisfail, creating a staple industry and a regular income to the settlers, and through the main- tenance of a good number of stock and careful cultivation of- the land, a: very solid farming community has been es- tabllslred+ An Outstanding Example of Success. Probably the most outstanding ex- ample of Danish pioneering and agri- cultural success, however, is that of the Danish settlement at Standard, Al- berta. It was in 1909 that J. H. 4lyrtlrrr and Jens Rasmussen; Strut heard of the fertile lands et Western Canada, and whilst they were farming high; -priced land in Western Iowa, where their ancestors had pioneered. before them, they were beginning to feel the call of the Canadian North- West. Then the desire to investigate the opportunities in the Canadian West grew into a. determination and crystalized in the spring of the year when these two prominent farness de- cided to make a trip to Canada. After travelling over various parts they de- ckled that the undulating prairies of Southern Alberta was the right place for them and their Danish friends, Returning home they talked to their neighbors and friends about their plans, with the result that in the fall of the same year a party of about. some thirty people arranged to make the trip from Iowa to the*new land in Alberta, These men were of the sturdy Danish -American farmer class, and as soon as the Canadian border was crossed were at once interested to see everything and` miss nothing. No doubt there was a thought in some minds that a great change would ap- pear when they crossed from the land of the Stars and Stripes to the Land of the Maple Leaf and Union Jack, but there seefned no great difference, except that the fields of golden grain were larger and the stooks of gfain were thicker. Their keen appreciation of the pro- ductive soil was at once aroused to the opportunity presented to the farm- er to make the rich prairie acres pay a handsome dividend, whale at the Surnames and Their Origin GARFIELD. Variation -Gear, Geer. Racial Origin—English. Source—A locality, also an occupation. The first syllable in this family name is related to that in our modern word "garment," and also in our word "gear," which anciently meant trap- pings or apparel, principally war ap- parel. It comes from the old Anglo-Saxon word "garwain" or "gearian," which meant "to procure," and it is related also to the French *word "guerre, which is really quite similar to the English ."war," if you remember that the "g" has been eliminated from the latter, and that the "u" in the former was more anciently pronounced some- thing like a,''w." The garfield or "gear=flelcl, was what :the name implies, a -training or reparation field set aside for the use ,of the fighting men of the feudal com- lnunity. In the period when family navies began to take shape individuals living 1prear such places,naturally received such surnames as "de la Garfield" or 'rate Garfield:" 51 "Sohn o' Gear would have been the 0hn who had charge of the war gear, irtually anarmorer, and from this palling have been derived the family Semeel of Gear and Geer. DAY Variations—Daye, Dey, Deye, Dayman. and Deman. Racial Origin—English. Source -An occupation. The family name of Day is really traceable to several different. sources. One of these already has' been dis- cussed, the origin as a variation of the given name of David. Another is. Irisli, when Day is a shortened form of the name of O'Day: The third is English, and an oceu-• nation. Older forms of the surname, in that period when Surnames were purely descriptive and had not yet become hereditary family distinctions, are met with constantly as "Le 'Deye,": "Le Dash," "La Deye" and "Le Daynian. Translated into modern speech,, all of these names meant simply the Dairy- man" or "the Dairymaid, °according to the sex of :the person to' whoa; the name was applied: These family names therefore, take their place in the large classification of the original bearers, and which be- come "hereditary'- at a slightly later period than surnames, which were der. rived from place names. If you 'bear one of these names it ;night trace back in your particular case to the twelfth century, or maybe only to the fifteenth or sixteenth. But hardly later pian that, or theform of the name would have been different same time the home life for their families would net be materially changed. On every hand they, saw progress and prosperity. Big farms, fine buildings, progressive cities and towns, good schools, everything much as they bad left in Iowa the people spoke the same language and many had preceded them from "back home;" When the train reached Gleiohen, Al- berta, a budding Western town, the end of their railway journey, they pro- ceeded by democrat thirty-five miles across the prairie, everyone enthusi- astic aver the promising future which the new land offered. To Spy Out the Land. Early the next morning the thirty pioneer; in six double -seated rigs packed with provisions and feed, set out to "spy the land" on their seventy-: anile trip. Reaching the site of the prospective colony and whilst dinner was being prepared, the Danish minis- ter, who had been invited to join the party, formally dedicated the settle- ment the "Standard Danish Colony," after which the teams were again re- qufsitionec , the party piled inter the wagons, end every parcel of land was carefully inspected and allotted. This then was the nucleus of the present very successful and prosper- ous llani,'Ii eettlernent which has won for the district an envied position among the many progressive grain and stock -raising districts which have sprung up during the past decade. n `oti Here . 9. t ar o be seencomfort- able the coral rt- able homes and big red barns of wealthy anl contented farmers, and the undulating unbroken prairie of 1909, with its picturesque winding trails, has given place to the toile long furrows, the woven wire fence, and the graded road with tate railway pence trating the settlement and the town of Standard at their door. No Vacant Land Remains, The original settlement, welch, through; its wonderful record of suc- cess, has drawn their fellow country- men from all directions, bas long sines overiiawed the original township boun- daries, extending r es, a ending in all directions, hos crossed the Rosebud River to the north, where at Wayne an extensive settlement has rapidly grown. Many of these settlers came with limited means to take up land at from $15 to $25 per acre, while to -day, through their energy and determination and the 'Inherent fertility of the -sail and favorable climatic conditions, they have built up a community in which their land is in demand by new set- tlers at front $75 to $100 per acre. There is now no vacant land in the Standard Danish Settlement. • Probably no more persistent and un- interrupted record of progress in col- onization and agricultural develop. ment can, be instanced, and the mil- lions of bushels of wheat, oats and other grains, and the thousands of head of livestock produced 'in settlement have already created sub- stantial railway traitic such as few dis- tricts attain. 'When this condition is attained throughout the West generally, one eau only imagine what Canada's an- nual agricultural returns will be.

An arrangement by which an ordin- ary motorcar may be converted into a sleigh is the invention of William B. Jenkins, of Idaho. The front wheels of the automobile are taken off and the rear wheels so positioned with re- ference to a supporting -sled contriv- ance as to be lifted slightly above the ground, The rear wheels, however, are required to propel the motor,i sleigh, and so are provided with trac- tion rimshaving calks to engage the ground. The rear end of the vehicle is elevated upon, the rear sleigh -run- aers fust high enough to enable the calks to catch the ground and give the requisite drive to the car. MONEY ORDERS.

It is said that the population of Iceland is wholly literate—no small a0ccrruplislnment in a country so sparsely settled. The outstanding fact of the educational system is that parents are responsible for teaching their children the elnrentary subjects.' All ebiidren from ten to fourteen years old crust take examinations every sprin, to show that they have completed the work of one grade, re- gardless of who has taught them. It they do not pass, the educations cum rnitteo may have them taught at the expense of the parents or guardians. :r M inard's Liniment Used by Veterinaries The ratan who deals in sunshine Is the one who gets the crowds; He transacts a lot more business Than the one who peddles clouds; And the salesman who's a frowner Will be beaten by a mile, If the man at the next counter Meets his patrons with a smile. ,na�ae...,.,se•.ae..sa'"....sa.
