CAUSE OF BACKACHES Every ,muscle' in thebody needs a supply of rich, red -blood in proportion to the- work it does. ` The muscles of the back are under a heavy strain and have but little .rest. 'When the blood is thin they look nourishment and re- bel. The result is a sensation of pain in these muscles. Manyeo le are frightened into be- lieving � lieving that backaches are clue to kid- ney idney trouble, but the best medical authorities agree that backache is very seldom due to kidney trouble. In fact not more than one backache in a hundred has• an `thin to do with the y g kidneys. , The whole, trouble ie due to thin or impure blood, and those who are troubled with pains :in' the backor loins, either frequent or occasional, should look to the condition of the blood. It will be found- in mast cases that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills by build - Mg up the blood and feeding the starved nerves and muscles will banish the; pains and make you feel better in everyother way. How couch better it is to try Dr. Williams'. -Pink Tills for your blood thanto give way to un- reasonable alarm about your kidneys.

There have always been parents and guardians to hinder and thwart the hapless lover, and many girls have Surnames and Their Origin in CADWALLADER Variation-Calwaiader. Racial Origin—Welsh. Source—A given name, • Cadwallader is a.family.name to be found frequently in'virtualiy' every sec- tion 'of America `in which -Welshmen have settled. It is, of course, like the overwhelming majority ,of, Celtic family " ;lames, derived from a given mime; and in this case the family name is virtually the same as the given nanie,.,the prefix "ap," meaning "son of," having been dropped under the influence of English speech. "Cadwaladyr" as a given name was. one. which had become surrounded with a halo: of glory loizg before the Normans swept into England and anal- ly brought Wales under their yoke. In the Cymric tongue the na,nie means "battle .arranger, or inore •broadly speaking, "general".or "strategist.' A 'Welsh prince of this name was cationized in the year 688, being, +fa- mous not only for, his sanctity (an at- tribute which history proves to litj:ye been 'surprisingly •commoii in the, •an- elent- Welsh, ; royalty), but for his re- markable sti'ccesses in war against the Saxon ErtBlishuien, Indeed, be ap- pears -poars to have been so uniformly sue - cessful against them that the Saxons s the very 'o )- cante to regard hima y 1 f a saint, mid the frame "Caed- poSto a e spelled it became a bi, - wa11a, tis they p , y word ter tricltiness.

The Teeth spelling of this naine is "O'Mathanihha" or "O'Mainghamhna,,, but the pronunciation is not so far dif- ferent from that as we know it, the More cotinion Anglicized form being ,but a phonetic English rendering of it.

Owing to the fine texture of human. hair no machine' has yet been invent- ed which can manufact}re.hair-nets, Ninety-five per cent.- of these nets are made, by hand in Chinese hooses, The training. required for the knitting of the. nets is long and tiresome.- The natives start' when they: are quite young, when their fingers are supple, and their eyes keen. The hair is tied end to end, strand bystrand, , to form a ion stria g g, and is then wound round'a bodkin or a stick of polished,bamboo. This stick regulates the size of the mesh of the net.. Each net is tied' in much the same way as in the manufacture of fish -nets or hammocks, only in this case the tying of a single strand is a more arduous task, the strands being very short and fine. The making of one net an' hour is regarded as quick work.
