Export and Domestic Consumption.
Approximately half of the wool clip
of Canada' remains in Canada for
manufacture. In the•• last fiscal year
the Dominion exported 6,009,079
pontiffs worth $1,947,234, as against 1,-
034,433 ,pounds worth $242,045 in 1922,;•
The United States was the heaviest
purchaser, 'taking 5,261,899 pounds
worth $1,674,005, followed by the""
United :Kingdom with 706,028 pounds
worth $259$93, According to reports•
there le somewhat of a'.change in the,,
trend of exports' in 1924, and, contrary
to other years, the United Kingdom is
buying Canadian woolto a greater ex-
tent than the'United States.' A. feature
of the present year is that about 60,
per cent. of the Western Canadian
wool clip, or between 500,000 and 750,
000 pounds, has been purchased for
combing in Canada for ,the first time.

tematic marketing by the C -operative

future to the sheep -raising and wool-
production,industries in Canada. This.
is one phase of Canadian agriculture
in which there is much. room for. ex-
am/slap, and as to the entering bf
v7uch there is every justification for
encouragement. Tho sheep resources. `+
of Canada • are more or less ublirnited-',
and there is abundance of waste land
in most of the provinces -admirably
suited for sheep raising. Furthermore,
there are many farms, particulaly. in
Wester Canada, that are yet carrying
no sheep.
Canada Admirable for Sheep Raising.'
The cliiriate and natural topography
of the country is admirably suited to
the raising of sheep. In Eastern Can- ?.
ada on Mixed farm lands, and in the
grain belt of Western Canada, the
small flock of ten to fifty ewes is gee
erally kept.. These fiodks can be main-
tained at little expense s,nd return an
excellent revenue for the labor re- ,
glared and the money invested. In the'.''.

flocks of front one to Several hundred l

Racial Origin—Teutonic.
Source—A given name.
The Normans left their stamp, not
only on England, but upon all Europe,
for while they colonized by no means
all the latter, there was a period in
medieval times, .when the Norman
arms had subdued about all of the
'European continent, and Norman
rulers held sway in Italy, Spain,
France and parts of what is now Ger
many, as well as in England. •
Nor`: did the, Normans have to do
more than: merely rule most of• -these
sections to leave among therm as one
of their legacies, the given name of
Richard. Meaning "stern king," it
was, naturally a name to appeal to
such a warlike anddominating race
as these Teutons of the middle 'ages,
and one which naturally became usual
among the various Nornnan : families
ruling, in different eections of Europe.
In turn, king'•s namesa were_ generally
popular among the papillae& in all
lands, Hence it became a widespread
given name first, and then a family
name throughout most of Europe.

shortened forma of Richardson, and

RELIEF
By Driving the Poisonous Acid
From the System.
Rheumatism attacks people when
the blood is thin'. and watery, or
charged with ,impurities, thus setting
up ir'
zflammation of the muscles and
joints. Cold, wet weather or sharp
winds may start the pains, but the
cause is rooted in the blood and to get
relief it must be treated through the
blood. As a blood builder and nerve
tbnic Dr. William's' Pink Pills are un-
surpassd, and for that reason do not
fail to give relief to rheumatic suffer-
ers when givena fair trial. Among
the rheumatic sufferers Who have
proved the great value of this medi-
cine` is Mrs, Simeon .1. Tatton,' Indian
Head, Sask., who says:—"For over.
two. years .I was an` intense sufferer
from rheumatism and. until I began the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills .no
treatment that I took helped me any.,,
The trouble grew so bad that I could l
not move around the house without
help, and finally I had to give up and
go to bed. Words cannot tell how'
much I ,suffered, and I could not bear
to have 'anyone conte near me. Finally
one of my neighbors strongly urged
me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
I decided to do so. In the course of a
few weeks I could feel an improve-
ment, and I was able to get up, I kept
on taking the pills until all traces of
the trouble were gone, and I could
again do my housework, feeling like
a new Person. Three
years have P ass -
ed since that and there has never been
the. slightest return of the trouble, so
that I feel safe in saying that the re-
lief brought by this medicine is per-
manent."
You can get the pills from your,
druggist, or by mail at 60 cents a box
from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,

Real Irish.
An Irishman was told by his fore-
man .to bringa couple of wheelbar-
rows from a workshop two miles away
Paddy went for them, but, finding that
he could not bring two at once,
brought back' one.
The foreman asked. why he did not
bring the two by putting one upside
down on the other.
Paddy replied, "Och, sure, sof, I
didn't think of that,
So off he went to get the other. Af-
ter a long, time he returned, pulling
and bowing, with the two barrows,.
"I don't want three barrows," said
the foreman.
"Sure, sor, I did not bring three.
barrows."
"What diel you do with the first one,
then?"
"Begorra, I took it back to bring the
other one," replied Paddy,

On this upper floor are two huge,
copper -like stills, each with its huge
lid, or "caP," suspended above it, The
bottom is perforated so that the steam
may rise easily to the mint. -
Three boilermen load the stills, and
as soon as they are brimful the cap is
1oWerad and sealed by a water suction
arrangement fitted round the brim.
Meanwhile the bohemian - gets up
steam until 401h. is registered, at
which degree of heat the steam is al-
lowed to pass into the well-filled still.
Each load takes seven hours to dis-
til, and the oil and water flow down: in-
to the separator on the ground floor.

cious .liquid, : this is kept looked in a
