Smile. You can smile with the use' of only thirteen facial muscles, while you must use sixty-five muscles for a first- class frown. All the great influence, the magnet- ism of compelling personality, the pulling power of our individuality, the pleasing force that is within us, may be used if we. Will tame our faces and teach them to smile when a smile counts, and that is much of the time. Frowns discourage us. They make us grip our purses lighter: They freeze our confidence. • A smile is the greatest asset we can have and it does not cost a ha'penny. Can you wriggle your facial muscles into that form of good looks called a smile? If you can smile and do not, you are throwing away limitless pos- sibilities and 'countless opportunities. CHOLERA INFANTUM Cholera Infantum is one of the fatal ailments of 'childhood. It is a trouble that comes on suddenly, especially during the summer months, and unless prompt action is taken the little one may soon be beyond aid. Baby's Own Tablets are an ideal medicine in ward- ing off this trouble. They regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus prevent all the dreaded sum- mer complaints. Concerning them Mrs. Fred Rase, South Bay, Ont., says:—"I feel Baby's Own Tablets saved the life of our babynvhea she had cholera infantu:m and I would not be without them." The Tablets are sold d b y medicine dealers o1• by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- Iiams' Medicine Co, Brockville, Ont. Indians Talk to Birds.

CAUSE OF SICKNESS Almost Always' Due to Weak and Impoverished Mood.. Apart from .accident or illness du e to.ii}fection, almost all 111 -health arises from one or two reasons. The mistake that ; -people make is in not realizing that both of these have the same cause at the root, namely poor blood. Either bloodlessness or some other trouble of the" .uerves will be found to be the reason for almost every ailment. If you are pale, suffering from head- aches, or breathlessness, with palpi- tation of the heart, poor appetite and weak' digestion, the cause is almost always poor blood. If you have ner- vous headaches, neuralgia, sciatica and other nerve pains, the cause is eic,tausted nerves. But run down nerves are also a result of poor blood, so;t1Vat the two chief causes of illness are one and the same. If, your health is poor; if you are pale, nervous or dyspeptic, you should give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. These pills act directly on the blood, and by enriching it give new strength to worn out nerves. Men and • women alike greatly benefit through the use of this medicine. If you l wre weak or ailing, give Dr. Wil- lianis' Pink Pills a fair trial and you i will be pleased with the beneficial re- sults that will speedily follow. If your dealer does not keep these pills you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ,ir l The Same.

Variations — Thornthwaite, Limeth- waite, ' Rownthwaite, Brathwaite, Crossthwalte, Cornthwaite, Goldth- walte. Racial Origin -English. Source—A locality. Here is a group of family names based upon a word which has all but disappeared frons our modern voca- bularies. There are _ really niore of them than are listed in the foregoing variations, but they are met with rath- er rarely, and those we have listed here are Sufficient to Show the man- ner in which such names were formed. "Thwart©;" in the ancient north English speech, meant•a felled plane; that is, a spot in the woods which had been cleared of trees. The word is apparently of Norse origin. It is found quite frequently in the old Norse records, and its use among the Angio -Saxons, seems to have been con- fined to Cumberland and. the northern sections, where there were Norwegian Settlements and Norse influence.. Originally the name was, simply a i please denoting `place. of residence. This was, of course, at a much later period than that of the introduction of the word itself into the Saxon speech, and accordingly as- the Anglo- Saxon or Norman form was used the name was "atte Thwaite," or "de la Thwaite," The variations are but the development of original efforts to dds- Bribe . specifically the kind of "thwaites" at or in which people lived, Thus a "thorntliwaite" would be a clearing in which thorny plants were growing. A "bratiwaite" was a "broad' 'one, a "crossthwaite' 'one in which a cross had been erected, it "goldthwaite" one in which yellow ` flowers grew, and so on. O'CONNOR. Variations—Connor, Conor, Conners, O'Conor, Conyers.. Racial Origin—Irish, Source—A .given name, In the days when Ireland led all Eur- ope as the centre of Christian culture and, vigor, following the barbarian in- vas'ions of the decaying Roman em- pire; the days when the Irish kings, under the single leadership of their "Ard-Righ," or "High -King," present- ed a united trent to the Viking and the Saxon when England was yet a land of numerous and antagonistic Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, largelypagan; long before the Norman conquest of England and the countries following it saw the - first growth of family names. In that country; the name of O'Connor was already a family name in Ireland. -It was the name of the kings of Connaught, who were des- cended estended from the famous "Hui Niall" or O'Neill line, which gave ancient and medieval .Ireland so many of its mon- archs, If the ancient, rule were adhered to,'; the modern families of the O'Connor ti group would spell their names • "Hui Conohobblralr,n but it would not be pronounced so. very much unlike "O'Connor," except for the injection of slurred -like gutterals and aspirants.' As a given name'"Conchobbar" means "the helping warrior." The Bing. Conchebbar on whom the O'Connor families are founded died in the year 937 A.D. But it must always, be remembered that all who bear this name are not necessarily :descendants of the king. The majority undoubtedly are des- cendants of followers of his banner. This rule holds goea for all Irish names except those whieh took their origin from the given narnes er sobrl. Vets of chieftains and kings, L.oottl a. Fine, brisk flavor! Best of all in the ORANGE PEKOE QUALITY T4 Making Drums Talk. Experiments .are now being made with the, object of adapting the Ash- anti drum -language to the 'conveyance of messages in English, especially for the use of Boy Scouts. Ashanti is a tone language. The drummers have two drums—a "male" and a ''female —set in different tones, and an them they can reproduce, not only the number of syllables in a word, but the arbitrary toe -quality as- signed to each when spoken. The re- sult is a kind of musical speech. The drums are "talking." But the same system could obvious ly not be applied to English, so an at- tempt ttempt is being made to work out an adaptation of the drum -talk to the Morse code. After trying various plans, the most promising method has been found to be the use (ignoring the tones) of spacing only, each dot or dash being represented by two beats. The drums cary a mile or more, and in,very favorable circumstances they can be heard as far as three miles. Messages can be sent hundreds of miles in a remarkably short time. "'Tomas a Famous Victory." "It is a great day for England," said William IV. as he lay on his death -bed on June 18th, 1837, and listened to the guns firing for the anniversary of the Battle of :Waterloo. The Battle of Waterloo was fought by eighty thousand French and two hundred and fifty 'guns, against sixty- seven thousand English, Hanoverians, and Belgians, assisted by a large num- ber of Prussians, who came in at the last moment. The British casualties on the field were fourteen hundred men killed and nearly five thousand wounded. Four thousand of the allied farces were killed, and the total number of their wounded was twenty-two thousand. At the time it was considered a very dear victory; but it is, perhaps, one of the most famous and important of all time. It has gone down into the glori- ous history of our country, carrying with it an ever -living memory of our great countrymanWellington. Diet is an important word these days, a word that perhaps more than any other is supposed by many young women to hold the secret of health. A physician has this to say on the sub- ject: "As for diet, the average- girl is apt to make one of two mistakes. One is a tendency to overindulge in sweets, without sufficient physical exercise to burn up the excess food fuel. The other is to starve the body for the sake of being overthin. A slim, muscular figure is an asset; a body starved down to the point of low resistance is a liability." The safe way to send money by mail is by Dominion Express Money Order. Nothing But Praise.

July is usually considered to be the wormest month df the year all over the Northern Hemisphere, and its heat led to an •old Rom -an superstition, which has left its mark on our own speech. Warm weather is not always too healthy, and July in Rome was fre. quently a month of epidemics • and high mortality. The Romans connected this with the rising and setting of the star Canicula -the Little Dog--in-coin- cidence with the sun, and talked of the period of July 3rd to August 1141 as the Dog Days. , The Little Dag no longer rises with the sun during this period, but the name of the Dog Days and something of their sinister reputation still per- sist. Even in modern Britain, magis- trates have been known to order dogs in towns to be muzzled about the be. ginning of July. Minard's Liniment tor Rheumatism. A Long Chase. A negro boy, a regular visitor to a certain library, was noticed by the at- tendant always to take the same book, open it eagerly at the same place, and then Iaugh heartily. The attendant's ourriosity being aroused, he followed the Negro boy one day and saw him open the book. Glancing over his shoulder, he noticed the picture of a small boy being chased by a snorting bull. The attendant was about to ask what there was to laugh at, when the Negro chuckled: "Golly, 'e ain't taught 'im yet!" 'When you are right you can afford to keep your temper. When you are wrong you can't afford to lose it. IN Keeps EYES Clear, Bright and Beautiful Write Murine Co., Chicago. forEyeCarcBoek nni over and ITCHY PIMPLES Scattered Over Face, Cuticura Healed.
