Racial. Origin—Norman-French. Source—A nickname. The: family name of Russell is, in a 'sense„ :akin .to that of Reid, and its variations, Reed and Read. It comes from an old English word meaning "red,"; which, however, was of Nov - man rather than Anglo-Saxon speech. Thisword was "rouse," and has sur- vived to -day only as "russet," with a "Cm OLDEN -brown kJ toast, crisp and piping hot, may be made right at your breakfast table, with the Hotpoint Reversi- ble Toaster."

While a great many names ai'e known positively to have taken their origin from nationality, the evidence is against the claim in this case, for it was not customary among the medieval English who knew little of the lands to the east of them beyond the shores of Germany, to snake any distinction between the races inhabiting them, all of whom they referred to as Esterlings, or Easterlings. This objection, however, does not apply to the explanation in cases where the name has come to the United States from other countries. PALMER Variations—None. Racial Origin—Medieval Sou rce—Descriptive. Palmer is a very appropriate family name for a crusader. Its origin is traced straight back with little varia- tion or change to the days when the spirit of fighting religion s -wept over all Europe and crusade after crusade was launched at the Turk with the object of winning back the Holy Land. One very old English document, dating from Norman-French days, gives a, list, of names, among which is one Hervey le Palmer. Another men- tions a"Geoffrey le Palmere, while an old document of Parliament speaks of John le Paumer, Harvey the Palmer, Geoffrey the Palmer and John the Palmer. English. A calmer, 4t' course, was one 'who • carried a palm leaf. It wasn't tens eideted a Olily tiring to tie in't3o40• i. days, any more than it is conxideled i silly to -day for the soldier :to wear his 1 oa.mpaign,•.ateipes or other;i'nsigni, noting service M. the army+or• navy or membership in a society or'1odge. The palmer was one who had -made a pie- grimage to the Holy Land, either as a warrior fighting the Turk or simply as a.• traveler actuated by religious fer- vor. The descriptive appellation of pal - mer sr quite naturally developed into a family name on a very large scale. In the first place, there were• many pil- grims. In the second place, the man who had made the pilgrimage was like-- ly to be considered the most import• ant member. of his family for several; generations before and after; and therefore the most likely individual In his family to perpetuate his name to the extent of its being permanently accepted in the course of years as the family name.

A Condition Known as General Debility Due to Watery Blood. General debility is a term used to describe a weak and run down condi- tion of the system. Debility may come from a number of causes. The after effects of acute illness, lack of nourish- ment due to poor digestion, overwork or worry, or anything that makes the blood thin, thereby preventing it from carrying nourishment and health to the tissues of the body. The symp- toms -of debility vary, but weakness is always present, often a tendency to be easily fatigued, spots passing before the eyes, weak back, dizziness, wake- fulness caused by inability to stop thinking, and unrefreshing sleep. Mr. Lorenza L. Gamache, Rockland, Ont., was a severe Sufferer from this trouble and tells how he found release. He says:—"Two years ago I was .in that condition which medical men call general debility. I made periodical visits to Montreal for fourteen months to undergo electric treatment. At the end of this time I was feeling well and thought with proper care I would•con- tinue in good health. But in the course of a month or so the symptoms came back more acute than ever. I lost ap- petite and could hardly sleep during the night, and what sleep I had was disturbed with nightmares. I had headaches and the least effort was telling on my nerves. I always felt pains somewhere, and had to lose much time. After suffering for three months, trying various things without good results, T was terribly depressed and disheartened. Oue day -I, met . a friend 'cilia noted howj pale a eethin I was and he so strongly recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I deter- mined to give them a fair trial. I got six boxes and began the treatment at once. After I had taken four boxes I began to notice an improvement in my health. I could sleep better, and I scarcely had a headache. Since that time my health has been steadily im- proving and now I feel just as well as ever. I have gained twenty pounds since I began the treatment. Now I would not be without Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the home, and strongly recommend them to all who suffer from a depressed system and the aches that follow." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer,'or by mail at 50 cts. a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Go., Brockvile, Ont.

So Canada solves the problem of importing women from England as was done 300 years ago by the -American colonies, And the plan suite: England, for statisticians estimate England has a surplus of 2,000,040 women. Parties of women and, girls are formed in England, brought to Canada under reliable ee- cort, and offered, jobs in whatever line of work:•they may choose. As each ship, lands, scores of housewives are on hand to hire servants, and farmers, to offer thein jobs In the rural dis- tricts, . says Capper's Weekly. So far as the Marriage question is concerned, the.women have proved able to take care of that detail. Records show that most of the girls are married within a .year and settle down on farms of their own. She Knew Sheep. After the city -bred young woman was put in charge of a country school, to the class in arithmetic she said: ''Now,' children, if there are ten sheep` on one side of a fence and one jumps over, how many sheep will be left?" "No sheep, teacher," answered a tow -headed little lass of ten summers. "Oh, no!" cried the city young wo- man, reproachfully. 'You are not so stupid as that! Think again. If there were ten sheep on one side of the fence andone sheep jumped over, nine sheep would be left. Don't you see thatV' "No! no! no!" persisted the oh11d. "If one 'sheep jumped over, all the others would jump after it. My father keeps sheep." Then, seeing the puzzled look on the teacher's face, the little tow -head ex- plained ,apologetically: "You know 'rithmetic, miss, but I know sheep." a, Aflame! Was Mystified.

Tho invisible ear drum invented by A. 0. Leonard, which is a miniature megaphone, fitting inside the ear en• tirely out of eight, is restoring the• hearing of hundreds of, people in New York city. Mr. Leonard invented this drum to relieve himself of deafness and head noises, and it ,does this so successfully that no one could tell he is a deaf man. It is effective when deafnets is sauteed by catarrh or by perforated or wholly destroyed natural drums, A request for information to A. 0.

Couldn't Be Mistaken. An American woman went to Scot- land to visit some friends. When she returned one of her friends, accom- panied her. As they neared New York the Ameri- can woman said: "In a little while we shall see Sandy Hook." "Ohl" said her Scottish friend. "Do not tell me when, because I am- sure I would know a Scotsman anywhere." When sending moneyby mail use Dominion Express Money Orders. Safer than sending bills.
