Racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon, also Ger- man, also French. Source—A given name. The family name of Harman IS un- usual in the great number of varia- tions of it that are to be found threugh- out northern Europe, and which have come into the United States from sev- eral different countries. As a family name, of course, it de- veloped from a given name, that of I•Iermen. At least, that is definitely certain so far as the English and the French forms are concerned. But the peculiar nature of Herman as a given name leaves" room for the possibility though not the probability, of a differ- ent development in Germany. The name is a compound of two old basic. Teutonic words: "eor," a word denoting divinity in pre -Christian days, and "man,"signifying humanity. Thus the word came to denote "divine humanity," which was the nearest method the old Teutons had of signify- ing: "brotherhood of man" or "the gen- eral public," and it cane to be used ,later to denote a soldier, or "guardian of the people." ASterward it came to be used as a personal name. The an- cient "eor," of course, is the basis of the modern German "Herr," meaning variously "Lord," "Sir" or "Mr.," and it is regarded possible though not like- ly, that in some instances the German forms of Hermann, Herrman and Herr- anann developed from this rather than ,the given name. Armand is the French form. The rest of the foregoing variations are all English. Those familiar with their Roman history will recognize the Latinized form of the given name in Arminius. The given name was widespread in medieval England as Armyn, Urmyn and Harmer, as swell as Hardkin. FAIRCHILD ' •Variations -- Fairbairn, Fairbrother, Fairson, Beaufix, Beaufitz. i%ae:lal. "Origin -Anglo-Saxon and' Nor- man-French. Source --Titles or nicknames; The most puzzling of all family names to those of modern times are `Che ones which are founded on words of relationship, With the exception of "son" used as an ending, we wonder 7low such words as child, brother, father and the like could be used to designate or ddfferentiate one family from another.

Any drugstore. A proper understanding requires a recognition of the fact that the mean- ings as well as the spellings of words suffer subtle changes in the course of time, "Child," for instance, was often a title in those days, and even to -day we put various shades of meaning into the words son, "sonny," and brother in addressing people colloquially. All of the foregoing variations, with the exception of Beauflz and Beaufttz, which are not nearly so common to- day, have meanings which are obvious. The word "bairn" is in use to -day in Scotland, the descentant from the same Anglo-Saxon word which gives us "born." It means "child." Parents often call their children "son," "child," "brother" and the like. In many instances such names stick, within the family at least. In the mid- dle ages communities were smaller, and speech was. less formal. Hence they sometimes stuck ae regards the entire community, and when the bear- ers in turn grew up and had children the latter came to be known as "Fair- child's -sons," "Fairbairn's-sons," etc. Later, shortening influences elimin- ated the ending "son." "Fitz," as has been pointed out be- fore, was the Norman-French equiva- lent of the Anglo-Saxon "son," and was formed through the influence of Teutonic tongues on the Latin "fines." Indeed, even after the Normans came to England they often spelled it "nils" instead of as they pronounced it. The names Beaufitz and Beauflz mean "fair child" or "fair son." But they are rarely met with as family names in this country to -day. CHIlOH0OD INOIOESTiON Nothing is more common in child- hood than indigestion. Nothing is more dangerous to proper growth, more weakening to the constitution or more likely to pave the way to dan- gerous disease. Fully nine -tenths of all the minor ills of childhood have their root 4n indigtstion. There is no medicine far little ones too equal Baby's Own Tablets n relieving this trouble. ' They have proved of benefit in thousands of homes. Concerning them Mrs. Jos. Lunette, Immaculate Conception, Que., writes: "I1y baby was a great sufferer from indigestion, but the Tablets soon set her right, and now I woould not be without them." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Upper or Lower? The man, says. the Epwarth Herald, had just,. informed the agent that he wanted a berth on the train, "Upper or lower?" iuquied the agent, "What's the difference?" asked the man, "A difference of fifty eents m this case," replied the agent. "The lower is higher than the upper, The higher price is for the lower, If you want it lower, you'll have to go higher. We sell the upper lower than the lower. In other words, the higher the lower. Most people don't like the upper, al- though it is lower on account of its being higher. When you occupy an upper you have to get up to go to bed and get down when you get up. You can have the lower if you pay higher. the upper is lower than the lower be- cause it is higher, If you are willing to go higher, it will be lower.

Many people suffer from nervous in- digestion. The commonest causes are worry, over -work, lack of exercise, or a general run down condition of the system. • It is a disease of the nerves rather than of the digestive organs, and is corected by giving needed nour- ishment to the nervous system and building up the blood. The treatment consists largely in rest, recreation and the use of a true tonic such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In addition, the patient should follow a careful diet, and avoid coffee and. stimulants, these being unsuitable for nervous people. As one's nerves rely for nourishment upon the blood, the latter must be built up and made rich'. and pure, which is just what Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills do. If there Is 1058 of weight and pallor, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are especially helpful. Mrs. Adolphus Villeneuve, A.R. No. 2, Apple Hill, tells as follows how she obtained relief:—"I was so bad with• nervous indigestion that I could not digest anything I took, and as a con- sequence was a great sufferer. I doc- tored for four months, but seemed to be getting worse instead of better. I lost strength to such an extent that I could hardly go about. Then my mother came to see me, and urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I followed her advice and got a supply at once. After taking a few boxes I felt my strength returning, and I con- tinued their use, until at the end of a few months I could eat anything I de- sired, had regained my old time health and strength, and was in every way a well woman. I am so thankful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for 'Me that I always advise their use when any of my friends are run down or ailing. You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50c a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Voistead Chance.

Equally so is an air- tight package necessary for the small lots of tea for individual consumption. Bulk tea is always inferior tea because it is exposed to air.

How to protect goods from the at- tacks of worms has always been a hard problem for packers of dried fruis and cereals. A new process ex- hausts the air in a steel drum in which the food is placed and then fumigates the ,contents with carbon disulphide. Exhausting the air dis- tends any living tissue that there may be in the fruit or cereal, whether worm or egg.' That opens the pores and separates the cells so that when the gas is turned on it fills the spaces and poisons the insect or kills the egg. Misunderstandings may separate friends far more widely than either time or space. Ask for Millard'$ and take no other.

Iron is constantly leaving the body, especially toward the period of middle age and you must make up for this iron deficiency if you want to eseapo disease and be strong and well. When the iron in your blood runs • low signs of old age creep into your system.
