This is the portrait of Margarete Stolff, a simple, elderly German woman, who was a dressmaker in a little village, a cripple, fond of her work and fond of other people's chil- dren.

Toronto. Ordinary sore throat le now regard- ed by many scientific men as a *dis- tinctly infectious disease, and people catch sore throat from other people, Keeping this in mind, it is well for those who are nursing a case of sore throat to wear a face mask or"to see that the patient wears one. This mask should be made o'f at least five layers of buttercloth or some other rather closely woven, washable fabric. It should he changed often enough' that the one in use may always be kept dry. The usual procedure for disinfection should be adopted, All clothes, hand- kerchiefs and towels used by the pa- tient should at once be sterilized by boiling. AIl. cups, plates, spoons and forks used by the sick person should also be sterilized. There is one point to remember, however. One rarely catches the dis- ease directly from a person whp is sick. It is generally contracted by coming into close contact, usually in a crowded room, with those who are "carriers," vis., people who aro well themselves but who carry in their nose or throat the kind of strepe,cocci or germs that cause ordin: ry tonsilitis. For more than a year, a study of this subject was made on n group of nurses in Johne Hopkins University. It was found that nurses became sick after they had spend an hour or more "crowded into closed rooms engaged in active talking, laughing and cough" l ing." A remarkable feature of this etudy on nurses was that sore throats seem- ed to come in waves. In the summer months there were no cases, but an outbreak occurred' early in October. There were no further cases between October 18th and November 21st, From the latter dote until December 9th it again prevailed, but there was none from December 9th' to January, Srd. It was further noticed that when the nurses were regrouped and new roommates were assigned, an outbreak of sore throat occurred. The study also showed that when girls who were susceptible were allotted to rooms with girls who carried the germ of tonsilitis, they shortly, developed sore throat. These outbreaks wero nee explained by any peculiarity of the weather, temperature, sunshine or humidity. Nor was there a history of exposure to wet or chilling to. explain them. People get sore•throat through in- fection with streptococci and usually in a very short space of time. The infection is spread by drinking from the same cups, using the same towels, coming in contact with carriers, such as results from these carriers breath- ing, coughing or sneezing in your face. SATISFIED MOTHERS No other medicine gives as great satisfaction to mothers as does Baby's Own Tablets.. These Tablets are equally good for the newborn babe or the growing child and are absolutely safe. They cannot possibly do harm.-- always arm—always good. The Tablets are mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus relieve baby cf any of the minor Ills et childhood such as coned- -paean, indigestion, colds, colic, etc. Concerning them Mrs. Arthur Hilton, St. Sylvostre, Que., writes: -"Baby's Own Tablets have been of wonderful benefit to my baby who was suffering from constipation and indigestion. I always keep the Tablets on hand and would advise all mothers to do like- wise." The Tablets are sold by made eine dealers or by mail at 25 cent a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Ready -Witted. "Tommy, why are you late?

There are very' few people wbo do not need a tont° at this season of the year. The reason for this is that Whether in the home, the•offlce or the factory, people have boon 'living throughout the long winter months to an atmosphere more or leas vitiated, and as result And themselves net up to their summer -time stealth. Thr'ouglr the long months of winter your blood has been growing tin and pear Closer confinement and lack of exercise have used it up and exhausted It. You are not as energetic as you could wish, Your work tires you and perhaps your digestion Is none to good. Your nerves may bo shaky and your appetite poor. All these things point to poverty of the blood. It is a scientific fact that. if the blood of the strongest is tested in the spring there is less of it and it is poorer than it was in September.

The family none of Manning runs true to form in Be origin. It is a pm cuiarity of the host o1 names which the Invasion of Wiliam the Conqueror threw into the English language Cunt An exceptionally large percentage of 'chem take their origins from geo- graphical source, This is natu'rat and easily under• stood when the circumstances and con- ditions . under' the Norman conquest took place acre c0neidered. The Ang)o- Sauna .population of England, prior to (,hitt time, wax not more than it very few million, less than a tenth 'ot wbat it 1e to -day. England was a land at open countryside and little hamlets, The ,communities were so email that men needed no family names. Occa- sionally a man would add a descriptive name or adjective to his title to dls- tinguish him from a neighbor' who hap- pened to have the same name, and this was all that was necessary. Bot when William gathered his hoete for the invasion of England he gathered them from all Normandy, and the natural Method of avoiding eau - fusion was to refer to Hugo, of "this city," and Rudolf, of "euch-and-suoh a place." No doubt the Angio -Saxon army did the amine thing. lint it was scattered. The Normans were not, They settled themselves in a strange land and kept the ties of mutual de- fence and intercommunication close. Hence, with the necessity for such dis- tinctions still existing, each names tended to perpetuate themselves, Manning is simply a shortened form of Mainwaring, which, as pronuncia- tion went in those days, was pretty close to the Mont Guerin of the Nor- mans.

Racial Orlgin—German, also' Norman - Fre nch. orman-French. Sou rce—Nlckname. It is probably stretching the point to list of namtys of Rothchild and Fortes- cue as variations. Yet it is permiss- ible if you regard the names' as types rather than individual surnames. Roth- child and Fortescue are not the same name. They do not come from the { same source. Yet they axe the same kind of names. Rothchild. is German. It means "red sbield." Forteseae is a Norman- French version of Latin "de Fortes - cute" or "strong s'eield." In the same cisasification belong such sobriquet¢ to be found in English history as "Brownsword" anis "Strongbow," It was the first Norman coal Str•ongbow who made the first serious inroads of his race in the conquest of Ireland. The first Rathchild was evidently so named because he bore aged shield in battle- There are evidences of in- dividual warriors in the Middle Ages who 'erose for some reason to abandon the heraldic designs to which they were entitled and go forth into battle, as it were, incognito.

The Warning. A stranger who was very deaf en- tered a little Highland church. lie seated himself In a front pew, and from a capacious pocket took as ear trumpet. This he placed upon his knee, waiting use for it when the ser- vice began. An elder of the kirk who had never seen an ear trumpet before watched the stranger with grave susideion. When the minister entered, the deaf man lifted the trumpet from his knee, Before he could get it any higher be felt a tap on the shoulder, and heard the indignant' voice of the elder: "One toot an' ye're,00t!" Kept it Nice: Mrs. Brown was bathing her baby, when a neighbor's little girl cane into the room carrying a doll. She watched the process for a few minutes and then said: "Mrs. Brown, how long have you had your baby?" "Seven months, deal," answered the mother. The little girl stale another 'lance at her doll, welch was very much bat- tered and minus a ieg and an. arm. "Idy, but haven't you kept it nice!" she said, with an envious sigh.
