"'Racial Origin. --Dutch. Source—An occupation. -This is one of those family names ion which you might do a great deal of thinking, and then go wrong. . It's deceptive because the spelling oto -day does not indicate the language in which it was developed, which is 'Dutch. But substitute an initial "K" for the "0," and it does not look quite s'o English. 'Like such a very heavy proportion of Dutch family names, it was ori•gin- ally descriptive of the bearer's occu- pation, and in this, ease it was one of 'those occupations 'which might readily bs passed down from father to son in. some quiet and tradition -bound little village, and so by.imperceptible stages change from mere description to a real, hereditary family name. "Koster," in Dutch, signified a "sex,-. Ston." It also had at one period the meaning of "a shrewd fellow," but this was of course a secondary meaning, and the evidence is that the famiIy name was derived from the actual oc- oupat1 n rather than from this second- ary meaning. RAYDEN Varlatlons--Rodden, Rowden. Racial Origin—English. Source --A locality. Here le one -ad those family names which in their first usage denoted the places of residence, or the plaoe with which the, bearers were in some par- ticular ay connected. Who, then, would have been a "Wil- liam de la-Rowden" or a "Herbert tette Rayden"' in that picturesque period of the Middle Ages when family names were being formed and part of the Population. of England• spoke Norman- French and another part clung des- perately to Its Anglo-Saxon tongue? The "den," as the word was used by the medieval English, did not indi- cate so much a lair of wild animals as a sheltered and fenced spot for domes- ticated or her -led animals. The "ray" or the "row" was simply the roe. The men in question 'would be those who liven near, 1m4. charge of, or worked in the roe -den. OTHERS WHO HAVE USED BABY'S, OM TABLETS Always Strongly Recommend Them to Other Mothers. Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she will use nothing else—actual experience teach- es her that there is no other medicine to equal them for any of the minor ail- ments from which her baby or little ones suffer. Having found the value of the Tablets in her own home, she is always anxious that other mothers should share her knowledge- That is why Mks. Creighton White, North Noel Road, N.S., writes the following:—"I have a baby seventeen months old and have given him nothing but Baby's Own Tablets ever since he was a week old. I Ineow of no other medicine to equal them, and it is certainly.a plea- sure to recommend, them to other mothers." Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative that regulate the stomach and bowels; banish constipa- tion and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make the sickly baby well and happy again. They are sold by medicine dealers or by naafi at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil-. Hams' Medicine Co., Brockville, -Ont. _-- Not Ignorant. .

You will frequently see flowers with their faces turned to the sun in the daytime and to the gro4.nd. at night. This is because the blooms like all the warmth they can obtain. While the sun shines, they will face it; . but at sundown, the bloom turns towards the earth, to get the heat which comes from it by radiation.

The Canadian National Parlor Branch during the summer of 1926 car- ried on its work of preserving the his- toric sites of national importance throughout Canada. Sixteen sites have been marked, usually by the building of a stone cairn and the placing of a bronze tablet. Tablets- were unveiled art Chambly cemetery, Fort -Richelieu and Fort Longueulll, Quebec,. and one on McGill University grounds•, Mont- real, the site of old Hoclnelaga. Other unveilings took place. with appropriate ceremonies at Fort Nottawasga, On- tario, Fort Calgary, Alberta, and at Bettleford and Batoche, Saskatche- wan. In British Columbia the turning of the first sod in the 'construction of the old Cariboo wagon road, made his- toric during the days of the Gold Rush, acid the wreck of "The Beaver," the historic pioneer vessel, of the British C'olmnbia coast, were suitably con nemorated, the former at Yale and he latter 'at Prospect Point, Van- couver. ,in'•the Pearl Fisheries.

Pain and distress after eat- ing is the way the stomach shows that it: is too weak to perform the work of digesting the food taken. In this condition some people foolishly resort to purgatives, but these only further aggravate the trouble. New strength is given weak stom- achs by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills be- cause these pills enrich and purify the blood. This is the natural process of giving strength and tone to the stom- ach, and it accounts for the speedy re- lief in stomach disorders that follow the use ,of Dr. Williams' Pink PE°The appetite revives, food can taken without discomfort and the b den and pains of indigestion are dis- pelled. The following statement from Mr. Dq aid L. Latter, Lakeville, N.S., proves the value of these pills in cases, of this kind. He says:—"A couple of years ago I had a bad attack of indi- gestion. I had little or no appetite, and what I did eat did not agree with me and caused me much pain. As a result of this trouble my general health broke down, and I finally had to give up my work. I had taken doc- tor's medicine but it did not give me any relief. Then a friend advised me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, and I got six boxes, Before I had completed the third box I found that they were helping me and by the time I had taken the six boxes every symptom of indigestion bad disappear- ed, my general health had. improved andthe have since been in very best of health. I look upon Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a wonderful medicine for all who are run-down." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, '"I see." "Of the children examined 360 (26 per cent,) had disease of six-year mo- lars," '"What are sdx=year melons?"

"Thanks-, go on," "In addition, 9 other children (6 p4e cent,) had disease' of permanent teeth other than .•.six-year molars. I a'unost forgot to add that 146 children (11 per cent.) had previously had dis- eaee of six-year molars, but at the time of - examination the teeth were filled. Now come the regrettable part.
