Similes iles and Their, Origin
'FAIRBANKS
Variations --=None,
Rbcial Origin—Middie English.
Source-.-boscriptfve, geographical.
There • are a tremendous nunal►sr of
geographical family names which de-
•;.Veioped in England, '
Often a man would take the name
of the town or village in which he had
resided, but for the most part this oc-
.eurred• only when he had moved to an-
otherplace, or if he happened to be-
long to the nobility and was a mem-
ber of the family which exercised over-
' lordship over that, town.
More often, h va'ever, he would . take
as his distinguishing name some par-
ticular part . or place of the country-
• side or town in which he resided.
$'airbanits might be descelbed as a
countryside family name. In the Mid=
d1e Ages, when It ceased to, be a mere-
ly deseriptive name of a single individ-
ual, and began to be passed down from
father to son, it _meant just what it
would be taken to mean to -day, "fair
banks." Undoubtedly the original
.Fairba•nks dwelt at some riverside
spot in England locally described as
such. Moro than likely he was a farm-
er.
This family nanbe, strictly speaking,
has no variations, being a straight
combination of two words which have
come down from the Middle Ages with
tittle or my change in spelling, There
'are, however, a host of names which
originated in England and consist of
the combination of the word "fair"
with other words.
Fa•irbanksi, though widely known, is
not an exceptionally common name.
Yet it occurs often enough to warrant
the assumption that it developed in-
dependently in several ,different places
and probably in various periods.
PICKFORD
Variations—None.
Racial Origin -,Middle English,
Source—Descriptive, geographical.
Pickford, strangely enough, is a
family name whose development paral-
lels that of Fairbanks froth almost
every viewpoint,
It originated' in England in the Mid-
dle Ages, add, like Fairbanks; it Is
geographically descriptive and com-
posed of two words which have offered
little opportunity to 'change through
the 800 or 700 years which have
elapsed since it became a family name.
At' first glance you might be led to
believe that the first syllable of the
name was derived from a weapon or
implement, "pike" or "pick." This is
not the cane, however. Indeed, there
seem to be very few family names
which have developed from any con-
nection with this weapon of the Mid-
dle Ages, as familiar to the men-at-
arms of those days as the bayonet is
to the modern soldier, though many
have developed from the names of
other weapons.
The ending of the name, of course,
gives the clue. Pickford is simply a
contraction of the combination "pike
ford," the pike being a weal -known
species of fish, which presumably was
plentiful in one or more rivers at spots
where fords existed, The original
Pickfords undoubtedly were families
which •dwelt in the countryside near
Buell spots.
But this sloes not prove that all Pick-
fords actually are descended from the
ancient country people of England.
Nantes are often adopted, and doubt-
less have been through past centuries,
In much the same manner that the
most famous Pickford of the world
adopted hers. Mary's real name is
Gladys Smith.
CHILDHOOD CONSTIPATION
Constipated children can find prompt
relief through the use of Baby's Own
Tablets. The Tablets are a mild but
thorough laxative which never fail to
regulate the bowels and stomach, thus
driving out constipation and indiges-
tion; colds and simple fevers,. Con-
cerning them Mrs. Gaspard Daigle, De -
main, Que., writes: "Baby's Own Tab.
lets have been of great benefit to my
little boy, who was suffering from con-
stipation and indigestion. They quick-
ly relieved him and now he is in the
best of health." The Tablets are sold
by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c
a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Cc., Brockville, Ont.
Don'ts for Salesmen.
Salesmen differ in ability, in train-
ing and in method, but all of them
who succeed pay almost as much at-
tention to the "don'ts" as to the "dos"
of ealeamanship. Here are the
"don'ts" of a famous sales organiza-
tion:
1, Don't fail to seat the "prospect"
,properly.
2. Don't point your finger ter pencil
at him.
8. Don't d;it awkwardly on your
chair.
4. Den't have a calendar on the wall.
It may' remind him of an appointment
or a note falling due.
5. Don't put your feet on his ohair.
ii. Don't smoke.
7. Don't slap flim ou the knee or
poke him with your finger.
8. Don't chew gum or tobacco.
9. Don't tell funny stories,
10. Don't talk fast; go easy and see
that the "prospect" understands what I
you say and do.
Lift Off .No Pain!
boesn't hurt one bit! Drop a little
"Preezone" on an aching corn, in-
istantly that corn shops hurting, filen

THE QUALITY OF BULK
TEA
The quality of Bulk Tea is always
unreliable for several reasons. In the
first place, being unlabelled its origin
is unknown and there is no one who
has any particular responsibility for
its goodness. In the second place, it is
exposed' to the air and therefore very
quickly loses its flavour and freshness,
Even if it were as good as "SALADA"
in the first place, it would rapidly de-
teriorate and in any case it would be
Impossible for any dealer to follow
consietently the same quality through-
out the year. "SALADA" always main-
tains an unvarying high standard, pos-
sible through skillful blending.
Little Brown d.
0 little brown bird in the rain,
In the sweet rain of spring,
How you carry the youth c.f the world
In the bend of your wing!
For you the long day is for song
And the night is for sleep --
With never a sunrise too soon
Or a midnight too deep!
For you every iron] is the sky,
Breaking clouds chasing through,—
A heaven so instant and near
That you bathe in its blue! --
And yeur's: is the freedom to rise
To some song -haunted star
Or sink on soft wing to the wood
Where your brown nestlings are.
So busy, so strong and so glad,
So care -free and young,
So tingling with life to be lived
And with songs to be sees,
O little brawn Ulan—with your heart
'15het's the heart of the swing—. '
How can you carry the hope of the
world
In the bend of your wing!

A GOOD SPRING TONIC
One That Will Quickly Improve
Your Health.
With the passing of winter many
people feel weak, depressed and easily
tired. No particular disease, but the
system lecke tone. You find yourself
tired, low-spirited, unable to get sound
sleep at night. All this is the result of
closer In -door confinement of the win-
ter months, and shows that the blood
has become thin and watery. New en-
riched blood is what you need to put
you right, and there is no other medi-
cine can give you this new blood as
surely and as speedily as Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. This new blood goes
to every part of the body and quickly
improves the general health. The di-
gestion is toned up, you have a better
appetite, nerves are strengthened amd
eleep is refreshing. The value of Dr.
Williams? Pink Pills when the system
is run down is shown by the experi-
ence of Mrs. Peter Arendt, Raven -
scrag, Sask., who says: --"I was in a
badly run-down condition, and pros-
trated with nervousness. I did not
sleep at night, and grew so weak that
when I tried to move about I would be
overcome with dizziness. I heard
about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and got
a supply. 'After I had taken a few
boxes I began to feel better. Con-
tinuing the "ase of these pills my appe-
tite improved, 'I slept better at night,
and I was soon as well as ever I had
been. I have also given Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills to my daughter, aged 'four-
teen, with the best of results. I de-
sire in this way to express -my thanks
for the great benefit I have found
through the use of these pills, and to
recommend them to others in need of
a blood -building medicine."
You can get these pills through any
dealer In medicine, or by mail, at 50
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co.,'Bro.ckville, Ont.

Years ago I began to wonder at the
great number of my own friends and
neighbors who were always ailing,
complaining and doctoring, without

working men and their wives were

and a great many were weak, nervous
and run-down. One had pains in the
back and thought he ha,d kidney
trouble. Another had pains around the
heart, ,palpitations and dizziness, and
was sure he was suffering from heart
disease. Still others had severe head-
aches, floating spots before the eyes,
tender spots along the spine and a
great variety of alarining symptoms.
