Thin blood is one of the most com- mon causes of stomach trouble. It af- fects the digestion veyy quickly. The glands that furazish the digestive fluids are diminished in their activity, the stpznach =soles are weakened and there is a Roes of nerve force. In this state of health nothing will rpo quickly restore the appetite, digesti and normal nutrition than good, rie red blood. D. Williams' Pink Pills act direct on the blood, making. it rich and ire and this enriched blood strengthen weak nerves, stimulates tired mu cies and awakens to normal activity. the glands that supply the digestive fields. This is shown by an improved appetite, and soon the effect of these blood enriching pills is evident throughout the whole system. You find that what you eat does not dis- tress you, and that you are vigorous instead of irritable -and iistles's. If your appetite is fickle, if, you have any of the distressing pains and symptoms of indigestion, you should at once take Dr, Williams' Pink Pills and profit by the better condition- in which they will put your blood. These pills are sold by all dealer in medicine, or you can get them b mail at 50 cents a box froth The Dr. Wiliiam�i' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The Oaolibus Driver, With t' to ,dieeppearanee of the horse• d 'awn omnibus; writhe Mr, W. Vett Ridgein, muele of the gayety of the London etreete has undoubtedly gone. The motorman wears the,look of a philosopher, certainly he has, at in- quests, the undesirable reputation of takingfinds lire as he it; anyhow be has no .chance of paying attention to remarks alined at pizza by those'`who only,juet escalze collision with his con- veyance. Formyself I do not mists the con- fiiiences of the old onznlbvs• driver and of his colleagues, The conductor often re had a grievance against a ticket in - on spector' or a na.em'ber of hie. wife's h, family or the deportment of a pa,ssen- ger from Victoria, and he never failed ly to tell me all about it, They were d, both .for one thing legal advisers; s never better pleased than when some s- nice point wary submitted, and always, ready to give counsel's *pinion. .r do not like to think of what happened in cases where their advice was' followed. The laws regarding landlord and ten ant had for theirs no secrets. "You sue him," they would generally say; "that's all you've got to do; sue him, Or else jolly well lock hint up. Failing which, your best and wisest plan will be to push his face in!" In a lesser degree they were medical advisers and political experts with in- side knowledge eif both subjects: denied to ordinary folk. Though they were always• ready to give the best informs- s tion they possessed, there were mo- y ments when their patience was sub- jected to unfair trials. Two Ameri- can women conning on top at Trafalgar Square fired half a dozen questions at their driver before the omnibus start- ed. "Look here, ladies," the said,, sending 11 his horses up the hill. "That's the at" statue of Nelson on the left; St. Mar- t tin's. Church is here on the right; further on we pass by the Garrick Theatre and Wyndham's, the back en- trance to the Alhambra and the front of the Hippodrome; a bit higher up, if all goes well, the Palace, and farther on, unless you're suffering from a 1 nasty cold, you'll tell when we go by Crosse t BlackweIl's. Halfway up - Tottenham Court Road we shall see by e the 'elp of Providence Whitefleld's e Tabernacle, and not much then till we get to the Cobden Statue. Higher up are the Britannia and the Adelaide, ✓ where we stop and go no further. And," with a flick of the whip, "this is the bus, and theni's the 'orses, and I'm the poor blooming driver, and I've got tin- ned Iohster for supper, and now you' know pretty nigh as much about it all as what I do!" Grasshoppers as Food. Everyone knows that cats carts grasshoppers and eat thein with grea though housewives will tell yo that they grow thin on that diet. Fabre, the famous' naturalist, believes that grasshoppers and similar insects would be palatable food for human be- ings too, and in one of his books, says Mr. Percy F. Bicknell, he quoted with approval this passage from • Genera Daumas's book, The Great Desert, ex plaining in a footnote that the grass hopper (sauterelle) referred to is mor exactly the cricket, which must not b confused with the true grasshopper: "The gran,?Iiopper is good eating both for men and for camels, Eithe fresh or pickled, It is eaten after the feet, the wings and the head have been removed; the rest is broiled or stew- ed and served up in the form of meat balls. After being dried in the sun it 1s ground to powder, which may be stirred into milk or made into dough and then fried in fat or butter with salt. "Camels greatly like to eat grass hoppers, which are served to them either dried or after being roasted in a heap 'in a late g hole between two layers of live coals.' The Negroes also eat them cooked in that way. "The Virgin Mary, having asked God for some meat that should have no blood, He sent her some grasshoppers "The wives of the prophets, when anyone sent them a presnt of grass- boppers., always shared thein with the other women. "The Calif Omar, one day when he was asked whether the use of grass- hoppers for food was permitted, re- ' plied: '1 should like to have a basket- ful' of then to eat.' "Froin all this testimony it is clearly evident that by the grace of God grass- hoppers were given to pian for food." =d. Revenues from the Forests. Over eighty per cent. of the timber- land in Canada is owned by the Do- minion or provincial governments, and the timber is disposed of almost en- tirely under licenses to cut over, de- finite 'areas for which an annual ground -rent and a royalty on the tim- ber cut is charged, These licenses are, for the most part, renewable annually, the governments reserving the right to alter the rates of rental or royalty and to impose such regulations as, are deemed exisedient. The direct revenue to the federal and provincial goveriz- nients from the forests amounts to 'about $12,000,000 annually, ,of which about $4,500,000 is spent in protection and administration.. - The total stand of timber in Canada is estimatedto comprise 482,000 mil- lion feet board measure of saw ma- terial, and 1,280 million cords of pulp- wood, fuelwood, posts, etc., a total of 246,826 million cubic Feet. 02 this, 108,946 million cubic feet is in the Eastern provinces, 56,423 million in • , the Prairie Provinces, and 81,657 mil- lion in British Columbia; but British Columbia has 70 . per cent of the saw material in the Dominion.

BABY'S OWN TABLETS ALWAYS IN THE HOME Once a mother of er Lias used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she always keeps a 'simply on hand, for the first trial convinces her there is nothing to equal them in keeping children well. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach, thus driv- ing out constipation and indigestion, colds and simple fevers, and making teething easier. Concerning them, Mrs. Saluste Pelletier, St. Dumas, Que., writes:—"I have used . Baby's Own Tablets for the past ten years and am never without them in the house. They have always given the greatest satis- faction and I can gladly recommend then to all mothers of little ones."

Canada possesses minimum water- power resources of over 18,000,000 twenty-four hour horse -power distrix bated from coast to ocast at advan- tageous sites near the centres of in- dustry, and in the East and West enor- mous reserves of coal and other fuel. That she Is making use of her great power resources is shown by the facts that during the past len years the de- veloped water -power has increased from 1,936,000 horse-powor to 3,570,000 horse -power, or nearly 85 per cent,, and the water -power developed per 1,000 of the population from 252,horse- power to 387 horse -power. During these past ton years, while the population increased 20 per cent. the use of power per head of the popu- lation increased nearly 54 per cent. Bismuth was reported for the • first time in Canada's mineral production for 1924.

Surnames and Their Origin WINTER Variation ---Winters. Racial Origin—English. Source --An occupation. If you jump at the apparent sion that the origin of this family name is connected in some manner with the season of the year, you will be wrong. It isn't. As the name traces back to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries it is found in the spelling "Wyneter," "Vin - ours" and "Vipers." Or does the mod- ern word "vintner" make it clear.? Those who first used the surname were wine merchants and the surname was at first descriptive of their calling. It was, of course, preceded by "le" (meaning "the") at that period. That it, it was when the speaker was using the Norman rather than the Saxon tongue. In the latter case he might simply neglect the prefix, adopting the Norman word in his Saxon speech, or else use the Saxon equivalent. But Norman-French was the predominant tongue in those days, and it was just about the time the bulk of surnames were becoming hereditary as indica- tions of the people themselves rather than their callings- or peculiarities, that the Normans, in England began to regard themselves as Englishmen, and there occurred that peculiar blending of tongues s h ng w ich resulted in modern English, a language quite different from either the Saxon or the medieval French, its two component parts, Winter andWinters e appear to be the only form in which the surname has ,survived, though originally there were several variations. conch - MACLURE Variations — McClure, Macleod, Mac- Leod.' Racial Origin—Norse-Scottish. Source—A given name. It's hard to know whether to class this Highland Scottish name as Scot- tish, Norwegian or Irish, because in a sense it is each one of them. Beginning as the old Norse given name. of "Leoid," it became the name Of two Highland clans as Macleod, was taken to Ireland, where it became Ma- clure and was brought back to Scot- land in that form. "Leoid" was a son of Olave, a broth- er of Magnus, the Iast king of Man, for fairly early in the Christian era the Vikings had conquered and estab- lished themselves along the western Coast :of England and Scotland. His ancestry traced back through six gene- rations to Harold the Black, who was king of the Norsemen about the tinie the Normans invaded England, There are two branches of the clan. he founded, the Macleods, or, if you choose to call them so, the two clans. One of these is known in Gaelic as "Siol Termed" (Clan Norman, or Nor- manson) and the other as "Sial Tor qui!",: (Thurkiidson), though In Eng- lish they are referred to as the Mac- leods of Harris and the Macleods of Lewis. After their defeat at the Battle of Woe:seater, certain of the Iliac cod 1 sof Harris fled to the north of -Ireland, where the tendency was topronounce the final "0" h nh i , t e r rants as au "r," thus giving "!,Iacleor," or Maclure. In this form the name returned to GaIlo- way in the seventeenth -century. Old Gates. Oh, I think they muse and mourn, And tremble at my touch— The old gates are solemn things, For they remember much: The little hands that opened them— And little feet at play— The sad hearts that went through them, Forever, far away: The hot tears that fell,on them, The handclasp through the bars, The love words and promises Beneath the wistful stag's. Silent loves of other days— Oh, speak to them as such, For old gates are mournful things And they remember much. —W. D. Gough. n. Coleman glacier, at the head of Smoky river northeast of Mt.

B. REY.NOL$D, M.A. A. M. PORTER, President. Registrar, ONTARIO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE cGUELPH ONTARIO A Lesson from the Hebrew Grarnrnar. A man of high character but ordin- ary education was addressing a room- ful of school children, and he said to them: "All of you know the verb which says, 'I am, thau art, he is'; and all -of you know that verbs. in English, •French, German, Italian and Latin run in that way; I love, thou lovest, he loves; or I -walk, thou walkest, he walks. But do you know that that is a very bad way for a verb to run? Do you know that the old Hebrew people arranged their verbs the other way round: He is, thou est, I tin?" Then he added: "Thetis the way to look at life. Say to yourself, looking up to God, 'He is'; then look at your neighbor and say, 'You are'; last of all 'think of yourself, and say, 'I am.' First God, then your neighbor, then yourself. That is the way to think and to live." One who heard this story was so struck by the thought that he could not rest until he found a Hebrew scholar able to tell him whether it real- ly was true that Hebrew verbs are conjugated in this way. He sought out a scholar and put his question. "Yes," said the scholar, "the Hebrew verb is conjugated as you say. Why de you ask?" 'So the other told him what the man had said to the school child- ren. "Goor heavens!" exclaimed the scvholar with radiant face. "I have been studying Hebrew forty years, and never once has it occurred to me that Hebrew verbs have that wonderful and beautiful significance!" He sat for some moments saying: "He is, thou art, I am. How beautiful! Yes, to be sure: He is, you are, I am. Wonderful, wonderful!" Straws of Wisdom.
