Twelve were atidei in Quebec, 3 in Ontario, 2 in Nova Scotia and 1 each in Alberta and Britis;"„ Columbia. The ,capital itt- vested in the industry in 1920 was $29,- 739,987 in comparison with $32,137,488 in the following year. Owing to the depreciation of prices the value of pro- duction was lower, being $22,905,528 in compel -leen with $39,967,831. The principal items in point of pro- duction wore sale leather and. upper leather. Though Ontario falls below Quebec In the number of plants it leads in the value of production with a value of $18,900,556. Quebec fell very far behind with. $3,517,565. The Maritime Provinces accounted for $268,192 and the Westc.rn Provinces ' for $219,225. Ontario, too, naturally leads in the amount of capital invested in the industry with $27,190,722 out of • the total Dominion $32,137,488. ,,Qtte- bec has $4,540,918; the Maritime Pro- vinces $289,800; and the Western Pro- vinces $115,979. • . A survey of the industry indicates that practically every imaginable sort ot leather is "manufacturethand utilized in Canada, and that whilst a substan- tial import is found necessary, there is an export trade of equal volume to balance -it. , Over the past several years, there has been an almost exact balance between the import and export trade. Total imports in the year 1921 amounted to $4,059,222 in comparison with 08,467,528 in 1920 and $11,143,556 In 1919. The chief articles of import are waxed or,g1 zed &ins, glove leath- ers- and ,uppbr leathers. The corres- ponding export trade was in 1921, $4,- 025,420, in 1920 $7,692,328, and in 1919 010,199,698. The principal articles of export are harness leather, sole leather and upper leather, • yott roll your own, aSk C1EEMPM Eitig igigT • (,ran labcp Surnames anti' Their Origin MAYNARD of the English and sometimes et the The name of "Maegenheard" does French name. not sound very French As a matter Dandelions Outwit the Lawn Mower. • To see the manner h. which a donde- pen plant spreads itself dose to the k round on a lawn kept closely cut is almost to believe that the dandelion Is possessed of the power to think and to reason out a way to eircurrivent the constant menace from the whirring lawn.mower, In tall grass the dande- lion vows upright, taking the form of the, erect -growing Cos Lettuee, or Swiss Chard. Now, if that grass is cut and kept cut the dandelion plant that formerly sent its leaves almost perpen- licularly into the air sends them out almost horizontally. Why? If you will tale a tin can and a glass jar and piece them over dandelion plants on the lawn and leave them undisturbed for a clay or two you , will be astonished at the differ- ence in the growthof the two plants. The dandelion growing under the glass Jar will be found apparently just as it was in the beginning. But when' the tin can is removed a plant will hp seen that to shooting its leaves up into the air just as did the dandelion irt the stall grass.

When the conquering Goths swept down over the ruins of the Roman em- I pire they quickly adopted the superior language and civilization of their foes,' but naturally did not change their Own names, which in the course of time have been modified rather than alum- clan ed.

Nearly all women and most men suf- fer at times from fits of depression and low spirits, froaa which they are un- able to free themselves. They cannot attend to. their duties satisfactorily and are unable to get any pleasure out of life. People who suffer in this way soon lose their energy of mind and body. They lack vitality because their blood is poor and ill -nourished, and their nerves are starved in conse- quence. The only way to obtain new health Is by building up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The new rich blood' 'Made by those pills will carry renewed health and energy to every part of the body.
