The Exeter Advocate, 1922-8-24, Page 7I. TOO LITTLE BLOOD The Cause of Nearly All Every- Day Ailments of Life, Too little blood is what makes peo- ple look pale and sallow and feel lan- guid, That is what makes them drag along, always tired, never real hungry, unalale to digest their, food, breathless after slight exertion, so that it is wearisome even to go up stairs, Doc- tors tell them they are anaemic—the plain English being too little blood. If you do not relish your meals, if you are easily tired and frequently des- pondent, and small matters irritate you, it is a sign that your blood is thin and watery, and that you are on the verge of a breakdown. More weak, anaemic people have been made strong, energetic and cheer- ful by taking Dr. Williams' fink Pills than +,n by any other means. These pills enrich and renew every part of the body; strefigthens the nerves, and brings new health and vitality. Miss Doxotity M. Ellis, Davidson, Sash., says; --"I have found great benefit through #Yi> use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I wee; weak and run down and seemed to h ..ve no ambition, but after taking the ( ills felt restored, . I shall be, Oato recommendthem to any outrererr{k' It roe, are suffering from any con - sett...., Cue to poor, watery blood or 'evatit nerves, begin taking Dr, Wile Hams' Pink Pills now, and note how your health aad strength will improve.

Who works for glory misses at the goal; Who works for money coin: his very soul, Work for wori s sake, then, and. it well may be That these things shall be added unto thee. —Kenyon Cox The Tragedy of the Forest. It was near sundown of an ()etcher day, says a contributor to Field and Stream, when two hunters heard a pe- culiar noise, as of a hammer striking wood, echoing through the forest. On investigating, they found a pair of large buck deer, fighting in a clearing. The deer repeatedly launched them- selves at each other, and their horns clacked with terrific force, `After an unusually,. severe impact, the watchers. gasped with astouisenent to see that the hoAis had locked. The bucks tug- ged add tore; they whirled in -innumer- able circles; they streak at each other with their front hoofs; hut they were powerless to free themselves. The men moved into the elearing and walked to within a few yards of the combatants, but the bucks paid no heed to them and continued their struggles. For a few moments they would rest, panting heavily; thea they would renew the fight. After several hours the two great animals lay down exhausted. Both were bleeding from terrible Cuts that flying hoofs had in- flicted. Unable to separate the ani- mals, tido hunters mercifully ended the struggle, which neither deer could have survived. A Heartless Family. There had been a severe thunder- storm in the night, and old Mrs. Cock- er ocker hac1, for a wonder, slept through it. Usually she rose, lighted her room, dressed herself and sat down in a chair, whose legs were set in glass tumblers. Instead of being grateful that elle had not been aware of the stornx, the old lady was filled with wrath when she heard of it the next horning, "I declare, I should think I was bearding instead of 'living amongst my own folks!" she said, "Wasn't there one of my children or grandchildren that thought enough of me to wake me? There I might have been struck by Iiglrtning in my sleep and never known what killed mei" Unchecked, "How did Teller get his cold?" "All the drafts "'in the bank go through his cage," The only way to reforni society is for each man to reform himself. liainard'a Liniment for sate everywhere Surnames and Their Origin SIDDONS Variations—Siddens, Sidden, Siddon, Racial Origin—Welsh. Source—An occupation. Here Is a group of family names, the origin of which you could hardly be expected to guess, unless you are one of those comparatively few per- sons in the world to -day who are fa- miliar with the Welsh language. And even then the source of these names might not be so obvious to you in view of the changed spelling.' The word is "Syddyn," and it indi- cates a farmer. Like other Welsh names, it is only in the last few luindred years that it. has become hereditary, for while"the Welsh from the earliest period used the descriptive or occupational sur- name, and also the surname indicating parentage, it was really only under English influence that any of these surnames outlived the individuals bearing them, to be assumed by their children and grandchildren, In this the Welsh differed from the other re- presentatives of the Celtic race, the Scots and the Irish, who developed real family nem= from clan names. It is more than likely that the family name of Siddon developed in one or more Welsh families which had been founded by Welshmen emigrating to England. row GAFFNEY. Varlet ions—Gafney, ivtacGafney, Racial Origin --Trish. Source—A descriptive surname. • You have very little difficulty in identifying the name of Gaffney or Gainey when you see it or hear it. But suppose you had the name of "Mac- Gamhnaigh" sprung on you suddenly, do you think you would recognize it, and pronounce it even approximately correctly? It takes some familiarity with the peculiar Gaelic spelling to recognize off -hand that "MacGamhnaigh" is pro- nounced "MacGafn'cy." Yet it is a fact that the Gaelic speaker finds the spelling of his language really a more accurate guide to pronunciation than English is, for there are more rules 'and fewer exceptions than in English. The. Clan MacCafney was one of the comparatively few Irish clans whose name was based upon tbee descriptive surname of the founder rather than upon his given name. In this instance his given name was "Gothfrith," which would seem to indicate possession of some Danish or Norse blood along with the Gaelic. He was surnamed the "Gamhnach," a word difiiculteto translate satisfactorily into English, but indicating a cow that is nearly dry. Perhaps this Gothfrith was chieftain of thin and wizened appearance, with a seamed and wrinkled face. Grass. That -Sows Its Own Seed, "Is there anything comparable in the a structure f Ian x to plantsthenervous, qu s - �ns- cular apparatus we find in animals? In the opinion of Professor Keeble. the answer should be. in the atfirma. tive. He painted out recently that plants respond quickly to external stimulus, and that there must be some machinery whereby they effect those responses. Professor Keeble drew attention to the far-sighted , "faculty" of certain plants which make provision for the sowing of `their own seeds after they themselves are dead. It is as though the plants know that they -are going to be in difficultiesy and so make arrangements to overcome them. In their growth these plants'^ create an apparatus within themselves for this special Purpose, The Russian steppe grass builds an apparatus of coiled fibre which twists and untwists accordiug to the in- fluence of the weather, When the first wet day arrives the coil twists, and the barb that is at the end of the apparatus fixes it into the ground. When the dry days come the coil untwists, but is not released from, the ground because the barb holds fast. In. this manner the seed is actually sown in the ground, and the propaga- tion of the plant assured, KEEP CHILDREN IVELL • DURING IIOT WEATHER Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer months ere to small child- ren, Chelere. lefautum, diarrhoea, dysentery and stomach troubles are rife at this time and often a precious little life is lost after only a few hours illness, The mother who keeps Baby's.

One of the secrets of good dressing is to consider clothes as members of a family, to remember that coats, hats, dresses, waists, shoes and stockings should be brothers and sisters. The tragedy of summer bargains is going home with a variety of odd garments, each one satisfactory in itself but bearing about the same relation to the other as a second cousin to a first wife's sister's husband. l - TAliDT �l i'OSTUM A BEYElf110E Iiorw l4n!dYfM Alma paN.a.,1411"4 Cr/al Compan anwo SWWA n' Ort sewcu 11'� 11 11 t,.'i Many people can't drink tea or coffee without punishment F you are nervous and irritable—if you lie awake 1. at night—if you are troubled with indigestion -try Instant Postum for ten days and note the improve- ment in your health.

The recent magnificent attempt to scale the summit of Mount Everest re- opens interest in the various methods by which heights can be ascertained. The instrument which is used by the majority of mountaineers is the ane- roid. This instrument has no mercury, but depends on a mechanical contrac- tion Of a thin metal plate for its meth- od of registering the air pressure mea- surement. ' Ordinary mercurial barometers were also carried by the Mount Everest ex- pedition, and the readings obtained from them were used to check the figures given by the aneroid. Another method, which might be des- cribed as an unofficial way for a party to discover their altitude above sea- level, is to determine the temperature at which water will boil. Water, ow- ing to a curious phenomen of the at- mosphere, boils at about one degree (Fahr.) for every 590 ft. climbed.. An instrument called a hypeometer, or boiling point thermometer, regis- ters the ,boiling point at nny altitude reached, and therefcre indirectly re- gisters as well the height above sea- level. The fact that the boiling point of water changes at varying altitudes, leads to many very strange situations. It is possible for the pressure of the air to be reduced by mountain climb- ing until the boiling point is, at the same level as the freezing point.. In parts of South America there are monasteries on themountain's sides, at heights of 10,000 to 14,000 ft., where water boils so quickly that it does not gethot enough to cook meat, potatoes, or other foods. Fortur ey, at that height' human beings do not feel the urgent need for food felt at lower `altitudes. During the last Pew 'days necessary for the final rushi to a peak, such as Mount Everest, the mountaineers only re quire a little soup, chocolate, or bis- suits. ISSUE No. 33—'22.
