The red mans contribution to place
names in western Canada, and par-
ticularly in southern Alberta, makea
a considerable body in. the aggregate.
Indian names now permanently at-
tached to rivers, lakes, /sieges and lo-
calities have a peculiar interest to us
all. In them the Indian has peipetu-
ated himself by a monatraent more
elognent and more imperishable than
could have been 'erected. ,by human
hands.
Before the white men came to the
westiand ale the country between the
Cypre.sst hills and the Rockies was
controlled by the Blac'kfoot Indians,
but they.lived, latterly, mostly around
trading posts which had been estab-
lished at "Whoop -17p," • "Slide Out,"
and. "Freeze Out," each mate itself
telling pretty well -why the pla-ge was
so named.
Whoop -Up was a •cen-teal meeting
place for traders. They had. great
carousals in the fort and were accus-
tomed to whoop her up, hence the
name Whoop -Her -17p, which for de-
cencyes se,ke has been • changed to
Whoop -Up.
Whoop -Up lay in the bottom of a
deep ravine. On one side was a de-
file in the hills known as Slide Out.
On the other 'side was a narrow pass
Called Slide In. Th.ese places re-
ceived their 'names. through a very
simple Incident. The mounted police
on one aocasion shid in on the traders
through this narrow pass, and the,
traders, being warned of their move-
ments, slipped out through the defile
now called 'Slide Out."
. • The Origin of Whiskey Gap.
• This same incident gave a name to
another locality in southern Alberta.
Patrols of police seoured the boundary
for the smugglers who slid out of Slide
Out, and located them in a defile in,
Milk River Ridge, where •they had
whiskey cached. To this day that de-
file is called Whiekey Gap. •

What Causes Sleep?
What is -the cause of sleep? 'This
aue.stion /as long puzzled scientists,
and a new theory is that sleep is due
to complete muscular reaction either
voluntary or involtintary.
When a human being lies clown, the
vienal sensations become monotonous,
and muscular reaction, removing the
impulses whiclj usually pour into the
brain frona the muscles., tendons, and
joints, precipitates the condition call-
ed sleep. ,
If one wishes to sleep' it is a mit-
take to tire oneself with excessive
exercise in the hope of exhausting one-
self into slumber. It is also a waste of
tine to put a hat,bottle at one's feet
in the hope of "drawing the blood
from the brain." •
Sleep is not due to anaemia, of the
brain, following fatigue at the end of
a da-y's exertions. According to
scientists there is an excess rather
than a deficit of blood in the brain
during ,sleep. ExPeriments have also
tended to give the lie to the 'theory
that sleep Is due .to "auto-intoXication
With fatigue produces."
• It has been proved, that blood sugar,
alkali reserve of the blood,- and' plas-
ma (the fluid in which the red par-
ticles of the bloOd are sdapended),

arithmetic, show no variation from

Don't Catch Cold!

help the many iieforipeata beings sviio

provocation., e)mongst the most use-
ful are the following:
Don't eeeezo or cough except into a
hendlterchier, 8,11(1 keep beyond the
lenge of anyene else who is coughing
or eneezing„
• Don't sit iii an overheated room; 65
to 68 degrees of heat is enough if you
are engaged in any active work. In-
.
sat on there being a slight current of
air in the room you occupy, and also a
proper degree of InuniditY.
Don't use sprays or douclios for
your nose uuless under' doctor's or-
ders and instruction. Much more
harm than good Owsnes from ,the use of
sprays. If the 'spray is strong enough
to destroy the germ, it is more than
likely to produce irritation in the muc-
ous membrane, which will make It
more susceptible to germ activity.
Don't allow any member -of the fata-
lly who has a cola to come in contact
with other members of the household,
or ta use the same eating or streaking
uteusils. Have everything sterilized
that is used by one who has contract-
secl a cold, the sain as you weuld if
they had scarlet fever.
Dout go to any pulilic meeting( if
you leave a cold. You had better stay
at home until it is better. You will
probably save others from contracting
your cold. •
"Don't stand Mee:6 to any one with
whom you are gonversingalf you leave

etenees shake hands with any one.
Remember through the frequent use
of your handleerchief your hands are

of the disease.
Have you catechised youtahands and.
fingers with regard to everything they

surgeons in a military camp during
the Great War kepi a careful:record of
the number of possibilities , of con-
taminating his hands for one single

120.

or for anyone else, unless you have
previously thoroughly eleaneed your

be placed in every dining -remit.
