Shelley was drowned while yachting
in the Gulf of Spe'fa. Hie body was
washed ashore a >'orteig1it later, and,
in accordance with the quarantine
1awe of Italy, burnt on a pyre in the
presence of. Byron, Leigh Hunt, and
Tselawny.
The hollowing Is one of the finest
Rennets in the language, and to -day has,
peculiar interest:
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless
legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the
sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies,
whose frown
.And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold
command
Tell that its sculptor well those pas-
sions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these
Melees things, •
The hand that Mocked them and the
heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words ap-
pear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of
kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and des-
pair.'
Nothing beside remains, Round the
decay
Of that oolossal wreck, boundless and
bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far
away."
RHEUMATIC PEOPLE
CAN FIND RELIEF
By Enriching Their Blood With
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Rheumatism attacks people when
the blood is clogged with impurities,
thus setting up an inflammation of the
muscles and joints. Cold or wet
weather may start the tortures of
rheumatism, but it not the cause, as
was ouce supposed. The cause is thin
or' impure blood. Rubbing with lini-
ments or applying hot applications
may give relief, but that is all; the
pains are soon back again, You must
treat the trouble through the blood to
get rid of it. The value of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind
Is proved by -the following statement.
Mise Margaret M. Cullen, writing on
behalf of .her grandmother, Mrs. A.
McEwen, Ormstown, Que., says:—"My
grandmother, now 85 years of age, was,
some years ago, a great sufferer from
rheumatism. She tried many reme-
dies, but found none that did her any
good until she began using Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. These she used for
Dome months' until every trace of
rheumatism disappeared. Since then
she has taken the pills at intervals,
and they have kept her in the best of
health. It is marvellous how well and
active my grandmother is. She cooked
the dinner for the threshers last fall,
and she gives the credit for her good
health to Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. She
is anxious. that her experlenoe with
this splendid medicine be given for
the benefit of others."
If you are suffering from any trou-
t le due to • poor or watery bloodDr.
'Williams' Pink Pills will help you.

No Man's Island.
A house, consisting of one room,
which stands in two states, three coun-
ties, and four towns at one and the
same time is the •proud possession of
e dance -hell proprietor in the J.S.A.
This unique building stands on a tiny
Island on the borders of Vermont and
New Hampshire.
Although the building was once used
as a dwelling -house, it is now given up
entirely to dancing. Standing in the
middle of the dance floor, the visitor
finds himself in nine different places
et once. Beneath his feet is the meet-
ing point of the boundaries • of the two
t;tatesy of the counties of Grafton, Cale-
donia and Orange, and of four towns,
Ryegnte, Newbury, Bath, and Haver-
hill.
Locally the place is known as "No
Man's! Land," and is, vetry popular as a
summer dancing pavilion. But the
river is slowly eating its way into the
centre of the little island, and it eieeins
likely that before long it will bore a
way right through both islet and
lienee: Meantime, the proprietor
thanks his lucky eters that only one
of the towns, Haverhill, sends along
the tax collector.
Small minds are captivated by
trifles.
Every man's face is the ledger of
his good and of hie evil accounts.

WIiAT PEOPLE
SAYABOUTTAN
"If it had not been for Tania c I would still be a sick, djsr
couraged woman, for nothing else seemed to do me
any food," says Mrs. Edward Gibbs.
All the advertising In the world and
all the sales efforts combined could
not have made the great success for
TANLAC that has been attained, un-
less this reconstructive tonic possess-
ed merit of the greatest degree. Over
40 Million Bottles of Tanlac have been
sold and the demand to -day is greater
than ever before.
That TANLAC possesses merit and
has brought relief to hundreds of
thousands of persons is attested by the
great number of testimonials that have
been received by the company from
people in every state of the Union and
every province of Canada. There are
over 100,000 such slatecnents on file
with the company, all ringing with sin-
cere praise for TANLAC and what It
has accomplished.
Here are excerpts from a few of the
100,000 statements on file:
Mrs. Edward Gibbs, Lancaster, Pa.—
"For 2 years indigestion deprived me
of nearly all the pleasure of living. If
It had not been for TANLAC I would
still be a sick and discouraged woman,
for nothing else seemed to do me any
good."
Mrs. Mary A. Benson, Seattle, Wash.:
"Following an operation my stomach
and nerves seemed to give way and I
became almost helpless. As a last re.
sort I tried TANLAC. I began to 1m -
prove from the eery first, gained .29
lbs., and to -day am feeling fine,"
0, E. Moore, Kansas City, Mo.: "MY
stomach seemed to pain me ce tamt-
ly, food seemed to do me no good, i
would bloat up with gas, lost my.
strength, and could not sleep ea' rest.`
I was on the down -grade all the time,,
Tanlac corrected my troubles and put
me in excellent shape."
Thomas Lucas, Peterboro, Ontario:
"Well, sir, buying TANLAC was tha.
best investment I ever made, for !t
built up my health and strength to
where I haven't a complaint in the,
world."
Mr. and Mrs, Joseph E. Kaake, Do;
trott, Mich.: "For more than a year.^
our three children, age 2, 4 and 6, head:
been so peaked and Melees that we.'.
were worried about them. Their
stomachs were upset, appetitee: poor",
the color had left their cheeks, their.
nights were restless and during the.
day they would just mope around, -tak-
ing no intereat in play or anything
else. They began to improve with the:
first dose of TANLAC, and 'to-dayy,
there are no more healthy children in
Detroit."
Tanlac is for sale by all good drug-
giete. Over 40 million bottles sold.

Surnames and Their Origin
BAYARD.
Variations—Baird, Beard, Bird.
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A nickname.
Here is a family name derived from
an adjective which to -day is applied
almost exclusively to horses, but
which in the Middle Ages was in rath-
er wide usage, denoting a color.
To -day you'd hardly refer to a "bay"
dress or a "bay" cosnplexlon, though
you would epeak of a "bay" horse.
Fifty years from now the word may
die completely, unless the horse finds
a new excuse for existence and avoids
the doom with which the automobile is
threatening him.
The medieval English for "bay" was
"bayard."
A man might have been called
"Roger le Bayard" or "Udo le Bayard"
either from the color of his hair, the
general impression of his complexion,
or perhaps from the color of the cloth-
ing which he uscaliy wore.
Baird is a fairly usual contraction
of Bayard, though the fancily name of
Baird does not in all instances trace
hack to the other. Likewise Beard
and Bird are often logical develop-
ments, though, particularly in the case
of Bird, it does not follow that Bayard
is always the original form of the
name.
SKINNER
ame-
SKINNER
Racial Origin—English,
Source—An occupation.
There is a wealth of knowledge to
be gained through a study of nomen-
clature of the industrial as well as of
the sodfal conditions in England dur=
ing the Middle Ages.
Virtually every occupation of any
importanoe in that period has, been
preserved to us in one or more family
names, and if you find an ocoupation
or profession which has not so been
commemorated, it is only because the
occupation did not exist at the period
of family name formation, or because
it is known to -day by a comparatively
modern term. Thus we have no fam-
ily names "Doctor" or "Phys•icfan,"
though we do have "Leech." We have
no family name "Autamanufacturer,"
though we have "Cartwright."
Tanning ,and leathern -taking, how-
ever, were among the most important
industries of Medieval England, like
the various branches of the textile in-
dustry, particularly those handling
woollen fabrics,
"Le Skynnere" ("the skinner") was
quite naturally the surname most of-
ten conferred by his, neighbors on the
man who made his living by stripping
skins from the carcasses of animals.
A Poor Husband.
Hubert—"I am wedded to my art."
Shubert—"Your wife seems to be a
great sufferer."
GUARD THE BABY
AGAINST COLDS
To guard the baby against colds
nothing -can equal Baby's Own Tablets.
The Tablets are a mild laxative that
will keep the little one's stomach and
bowels working regularly. It is a re-
cognized fact that where the stomach
and bowels are in good order that
colds will not exist; that the health
of the little one will be good and that
he will thrive and be happy. 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 medicine dealer
at 25 cents a box, or by mail, post
paid, from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont.
Money Left to Monarchs.
Not many erten have chosen to leave
their fortunes to members of the
Royal Fancily in the maner of the late
Ford Farquhar. 1l'nder the terms of
his will, Prince George receives 810,-
000 and Princess. Maud ar Lord Car-
negie $250,000, while other royal bene-
ficiaries are the King and Queen,
Queen Alexandra, the Princess Royal
and Princess Arthur of Connaught.
The largest gift ever willed by a
subject to a British sovereign was that
of $2,500,000, which fell to Queen'Vic-
toria on the death of one John Camden
Neild, who died in 1852.
The eon of a London goldsmith,
Neild succeeded to $1,250,000 on his
father's death, but being of, a miserly
disposition, he lived in poverty. After
his death he was found to have left
the whole of hie property, with the ex-
eeptlon of tt few legacies, to "Her
Gracious Majesty Queeli Victoria, beg-
{ her Tier Majesty's most gracious 00-
oeptance of the same foe her sole use
and benefit"
Another man who remembered the
sovereign in his will was Sir Ernest
Cassel, who, on his death in 1921, left
property to the value of thirty mil-
lion dohiers His London residence,
Brook House, Park Lane, may one day
become a home of the Royal Family,
for Sir Ernest directed that in the
event of the death without issue of his
daughter, the house and its contents
should be offered! as a gift to the then
reigning sovereign.

IRON is constantly

especially toward the period of middle
age and you must make up for this
iron deficiency if you want to escape

of old age creep into your system.
If there is not enough iron circulating
the blood -stream becomes thin pale
and watery, the body weak and run-
down. In such cases ordinary iron -
containing foods aeldom supply a sufficient
Puantity of this important element to make up
or the waste so that many physicians now
prescribe a concentrated form of organic iron—
Nttcated Iron—which contains iron like the
