HAVE DISAPPEARED
As a Result of Treating the
Trouble Through the Blood.
The chief synrptonrof rkeuinatism
Is pain. 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-

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.

of these settlers came with limited

their energy and determination and
the 'Inherent fertility of the -sail and

have built up a community in which

Get It Done.
It isn't the job we intended to do,
Or the labor we've just begun,
That puts us right on the balance

It's the_work we have really done.

Our debit on things we shirk;
The man who totals the biggest plus

To wish is the play of an office boy;
To do is the job of a man.

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.

It is said that the population of
Iceland is wholly literate—no small

fact of the educational system is that
parents are responsible for teaching

All ebiidren from ten to fourteen
years old crust take examinations

completed the work of one grade, re-
