Surnames and Their Origin
JENNINGS,
Variations --Jenkins, Jenkinson, Jenks
Jennison..
Racial Origin—Middle English, also
Welsh.
Source—A given name.
Though you would not think so to
look at them, . the name of Jennings
and the foregoing variations are simp-
ly one classification of the innumer-
able host of family names which have
developed.` from that most common of
all given names, John.
From its original Hebrew form of
Jehohanan, the name of John has de-
veloped into nearly every sort of
sound around which the human tongue
can twist, through pagan as well as
Christian races. Indeed, it is held
that the name of Hannibal, th egreat
Carthaginian warrior who .crossed the
Alps with his elephants : and nearly
smashed ancient Rome, was simply a
variation of John. Carthage was
founded by Phoenicians, who came
from the coast near Palestine.
But in England thename of John
came to be spelled in many different
ways according to the linguistic ten-
dencies of individual localities. It is
found as Jon, Jan and Jen, among
other forms too numerous to mention.
Jen -kin (little Jen) was a very com-
mon development from the latter,
from which. the surname of "Jenkin's
son," or Jenkinson was derived quite
normally, being shortened in .the
course of time into the variations
noted. Where the name Jennings
traces back to Ireland it was formerly
MacShoneen (descendants of John),
changed to the English form under the
pressure of English laws which at
various tunes in various sections of
that country forbade the use of native
family names. •
CLEVELAND
Variations—Ciive,• Cliff, Cleve.
Racial" Origin—Mlddie English.
Source—A geographically descriptive
word.
Cleveland andits variations trace
bath to an old Anglo-Saxon geographi-
cally descriptive term, as do Grover
and its variations.
The old word was "dough." It
meant a cleft or fissure between hills
in those days and its modern use as
"cliff" was probably a secondary mean-
ing. •
The variations, Clive, Cliff and
Cleve, of course, are developments of
the original spelling, and are useful
in determining in what general sec-
tions of England a family may Kaye
lived at various periods. It is only in
very modern times that spelling has
been standardized: Throughout the
middle ages people spelled very•much
as they pronounced, and there were
marked differences in pronunciation
tendencies in the „different parts of
England. Originally such names as
Clive, Cliff and Cleve were written
"Atte Clive (at -the -cliff), Atte Cliff and
Atte Cleve, or at earlier periods, when
French was used more commonly and
was the official language, "de la Clive"
(of the cliff).
Cleveland, as a family name; gives a
little more definite information as to
the origin of families bearing it, which
must have come froma section of
Yorkshire known by that name, and of
which the city of Middlesborough is
the capital.
WINTER BARD ON BABY
The winter seasonTis a hard one on
the baby. He is more or less confined
to stuffy, badly -ventilated rooms. It is
so often stormy that the mother does
not get him out in the fresh air as
often as she should... He catches colds '
which rack his little system;; his stom-
ach and bowels get out of order and --he
. becomes peevish and cross. To guard
against this the mother should keep a
box of Baby's Own Tablets in the
house. They regulate the stomach
and bowels, and break up colds. The
new sales tax will not 'increase the
price of Baby's Own Tablets, as the
company pays the tax. You can still
• obtain the Tablets through any medi-
cine dealer at 25 cents a box, or by
mail post paid from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
What a Knot is Not.
The meaning of a sailor's "knot,"
like an ordinary knot, requires some
unravelling.
A "landlubber" would say that a
steamship is steaming at "twenty-five
knot an hour," but a sailor would simp-
ly say "twenty-five knots." The latter
Is correct. A knot is not a distance,
but a speed. The word "speed" com-
bines distance andtime, a sailor call-
ing the speed of a ship while passing
over a sea mile, about 6,080 feet or
1 1-8 land miles, one "tenet."
The word "knot" is very old. In
ancient days seamen found out the
speed of their vessel by means of a
"log line." This was a piece of wood,
to which was attached a long line
knotted at regular intervals, The log
was thrown overboard, and a sand
glass on board was 'allowed to run
down. It Was then seen how many
• knots had been paid out. If fifteen,
' then the ship was travelling at fifteen
knots; if twelve, at. twelve knots, and
soon.

Being Busy.
When people tell one another how
busy they are or have been, although
they are likely to lament the "busy-
ness," they usually regard it as credit-
able. And yet to be busy is not neces-
sarily to be engaged in anything worth.
while. Being busy and ,working are
by no• means synonymous. The dis-
paraging 'expression- "a busybody
arose from a. perception of that fact.
People who keep themselves pretty
constantly occupied with work have
no time or inclination for mischief-
making, yet people can busy them-
selves in making mischief. They can
busy themselves too in ,ways that do
no special' harm toothers and that are
yet futile and frivolous. A great many
people, for example, are busy perform-
ing social acts and rites that have no
particular value.
Being busy in the sense of being
constantly occupied with the little
complications in the web of life is a
harassing and discouraging form of
activity, says a writer in Youth's Com-
panion. Yet nowadays people give h
more time and effort to the attempt
to deal with such complications than
ever before—because the complica-
tions are more numerous and intri-
cate.

WEAK MEW WOMEN
What They Need to Rest
Good Health and Vitality.
The woman who feels tired out,
aches all over when she rises in
morning, who feels depressed mos
the time, needs the .help that Dr.
lianas' Pink Pills can give her—n
rich blood and stronger nerves.
number of disorders caused by p
blood is amazing, and most women
careless about the condition of th
blood. Their nerves are quickly
fected; they worry over trifles and
notobtainrefreshing sleep. Th
may be stomach troubles and h
aches; shortness of breath and A,
tering of the heart. This is a con
tion that calls for Dr. Williams' P
Pills, the blood -improving, nerve
storing tonic. Mrs. William He
Lovett Street, London, Ont.,
proved the value of these pills,
says: "1 had a very severe' attack
anaemia. I was always aired and
least thing would make me sick at
stomach. I could hardly go about
suffered terrible pains in my legs fr
cramps. I had no color in my face a
was as white as a sheet. The doc
gave me several kinds of Medici
but could not understand why I did
get results from it. Then I went to
hospital and was there for thr
months, but came home no better th
when I went. My friends were wor-
ried and feared consumption. While
I was still in: this condition a friend
advised me to try `Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. I tried them and after a • time.
felt they were helping me, and I glad-
ly continued their use, and am thank-
ful to say that I am again a well wo-
man, and I firmly believe that. had. it
not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
I would not have got better."
The new sales tax will not increase
tl, a price, of Dr. Williams' Pink, Pill
as the company pays the tax. a`You"ea-
still obtain the pills through any rued
eine dealer at 50 cents a box, or b
mail, post paid, at this price, from Th

The study greeted him with its old
welcome, Rob had been there many
an evening with a crowd of the :boys
before he went to college.
"It feels lust as it used to," he de-
clared, "We had some great times
here."
Dr. Carlow nodded, "I'm getting to
be an old man, Rob. I like to sit here
before the fire . and watch my boys
marching out to conquer the world."
"We don't go very far," Rob retort-
ed, "before -we revise our dreams a
bit." .
"Make them blgger,or smaller?" Dr,
Carlow inquired' ,
"Oh, Smaller, Boys are conceited

lege to make you see your size in rela-
tion`to the universe! I don't believe
as,I did.' You can't after you've taken
alook _down to the beginning of

"How. much is •left?" Dr. Carlow
asked quietly.

The proposal of the U S. navy' to fl
to the Pole in the Shenandoah, Uncl
Sam's biggest airship, includes the
tablishment of an air base in Alaska
from which the start would be made,
It is unlikely that a special hangar for
the big ship would be built there, and.
it is much more probable mooring
masts would be utilized to hold the
Shenandoah between flights. Such
mast ,salready' are in use at the Lake
urst, N.J., naval station.
The usual airship mooring mast is
about 200 feet high and is of steel,
firmly based in concrete. The nose of
the ship is made fast by cables to a
!vel arrangement set in the head of
e mast. This swivel, moving freely,
rmits the -flying craft to swing to
e wind, much as a ship swings to its
chor in a tideway. When the .air
hip is to be moored she noses down
ward the mast, drops her -cable to
e ground, and this in turn is made
st to the cable on the mast swivel.
The slack is then taken, up' -by a motor
driven winch on the ground.
After being secured to the mast it
is found the airship rides better in the
wind if ballast is cast out.

taken TANLAC and endorses it in a
statement recently given to the wo-

great tonic. In this statement, Miss
America declares that Good Health is
the basis of all Beauty, and advises
women who would be beautiful to
"first find good health."
Her complete statement as given is
as follows: "I consider it a' great privi-
lege to be able to tell the thousands
of women everywhere what a great
tonic TANLAC is. Health is the basis
of all beauty. Without good health,
one is apt to be run down, nervous,
underweight, high-strung, anaemic. In-
digestion drives the roses from' a• wo-
man's cheeks and robs her of that
radiant quality of womanhood that is
real beauty.
"I have taken TANLAC and I do not
hesitate to say that it is a wonderful
health -giving tonic. It has brought re. •
lief and good health to many women,
and with good health one may have a
measure of beauty that will overcome
shortcomings in face and figure.
"Rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes, a well-
rounded figure, a lovable disposition,
go hand in hand with good health. To
those searching for beauty, I would
say—'First of ail, Find Good realth.'
The TANLAC treatment has proven
itself a boon to womankind, and I re•
commend it."
