Soldiers --- Restorations a f Booty Secreted in Belgium. Elaborate defences by erudite Ger- mans against the charges that the in- vaders stole everything they could get their hands on in, French territory during the war are 'substantially offset by the report of the Wiesbaden com- mission which directed the restora- tion of stolen articles to French citi- zens under special provisions in the treaty of Versailles. As a result the world probably can expect another set of blue, white, yel- low, green and ether 'rainbow hue bound books explaining how more than 18,000 francs worth of paintings, books and furniture identified by the French owners as having disappeared when the Germans crossed the Rhine homeward bound happened to -be pick- ed icked up in error, Activities of Robber Army. In addition, as an astounding e ample of the devotion of the Germ troops to the ideals of the forme Crown Prince, the Wiesbaden commi soon has sought out a quarter of a mi lion tons of industrial material, 30,00 tons of agricultural machinery, b sides millions= of francs worth o varied' securities, which the Germs.holders Iearned to their dismay wer not negotiable. These restoration are all confined to German territor but nearly as much has been recovei ed from parts --of Belgium where Ge man troops were concentrated. Th commission issaid to have discovers evideztce of the inner workings of separate army service for the trans Imitation of stolen material from Bel glum across the Rhine and which wa about to commence extensive opera tions as far east as the Prussian fron tier. The restorations from the Belgian districts include 50,000 tans of indus- trial materials, 2,000 canalboats and 12,000 tons of railway material. In some cases owners were so disheart- ened by the damage done to their farms as to relinquish their rights to the stolen material. This unclaimed material has been sold by the French Government. both here .and to German citizens, with the result that 24,000,- 000 francs and 26,000,000 marks were added to the French treasury, more than enough to pay the whole cost of searching for the material and its re- shipment to the proper owners.

Scouting is not something outside the home to turn you boy over to, and forget about. Scouting is the most aetice force ever let loose in the world for welding father and son together into a winning team for home and country, Every father does not realize that the average Ontario boy is awake 5,600 hours a year. You put him In school for 900 of these hours and everlasting- ly keep after him to make good. You place him in church and Sunday School for perhaps another 100 hours and let him know you are looking far results, 'You keep him around home and under -your watchful eye for prob- ably 1,500 of his waking hours and then turn him loose for his play -3,000 hours a year—and that's the end of it. Why? Because you are past the play age, or think you are. Yet right here, in these hours he is away Prom home and other wholesome influences, is where your bay forms his character and needs you most. Scouting gives you, as a father, a com- plete playtime programme through Which you can win your son for life. Scouting wins, and the home that "puts in" Scouting wins too. Scouting is the manliest programme ever devised far a boy. .A,s. as'soaf- ate inentiiyers of The Boy Scouts I- sociation fathers unite with their boys in Scouting, They become pals with their Sons and "home ecoutnhasters" bleating up the regular scout leaders.

KEEP LITTLE -CAE WELL INWINTER Winter is' a dangerous season for the Iittle ones. The days are change- able --one bright, the next one cold and stormy, that tlie mother is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need so much. In consequence they are often cooped up in overheated, badly. ventilated rooms and are soon seized with.colds or grippe, What Is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tablets. They will regulate the stom- ach and bowels and drive out colds and by their use the baby will be able to get over the winter season In per- fect safety. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Minard's Liniment Relieves Distemper Surnames and Their Origin SINCLAIR Variations --St. Clair, St. Clare, Sink - ler. Raciai .Origin—Norman-French, .also Scottish. Source—Geographical. In the classification of the Norman- Fronch contribution to the nomencla- ture of the English must be' included this group of family names. In a sense they may be regarded as having been family names at the time of the Norman invasions; though it is certain that only a minority •ot the men who bore it as a, designation of the localities from which they came actually bequeathed it to their des- cendants. In a sense, ton, the name of Sinclair may be regarded as Scottish, for it is the nume of one of the clans of Scot- t land. But the Scottish name is sub- s ject to the same explanation of Nor: Y man -French origin as the English. _ Like ninny Scottish names, including those of several of the clans, it is not I a native name. The forms St. Clair anti St. Clare of, course, explain the source. The forms Sinclair and Sinkler are but variations in spelling 'which have de- veloped from spellings which original- ly were by no means similar. There is a "Thomas de St. Clare" referred to in the ancient writs of Parliament, land the name occurs variously in the 1 old documents as "St. Clare and "St. IClair." The Scottish clan name traces hack f to a follower of William the Conquer or, a "Comte de Sancto Claro," I through his • son William, who in the reign of Ring David 7. of Scotland, at - j Lulled himself to that monarch's court. Through grants of land at first, a and intermarriage later, the Sinclair In line grew into the clan system of the f northern Goels as a distinot entity, n melted to the city of Baroda. Shortie after their arrival they were admitted to the presence of the maharanee.

Other old strongholds of the clan were Caithness and Stratherne. MOONEY r:• Variations --e O'Mooney, O'Moynagh, Money. Racial Origin—Irish. Source --A given name. The family names in the Mooney group, -like virtually all Irish sur- names, are derived from a given name, and originally bore either the 'prefix "0" .or "Mac," signifying in the Irish tongue "descendant of," and came into being iirst as tribal or clan names, be- ing adopted ,by all the followers of the chieftain's banners as well as by his own family. Strangely enough, one of the varia- tions of this family name of Mooney, or "O'Maoinaigh," which is the ancient Irish form, comes very close In its English meaning to the meaning of the given name from which the family name is developed.. This variation is Money, The given name in the an- cient Irish was "Maolnach," from the Irish word "maoine," Meaning "wealth." The domination of English custonh and language, as well as English law, in some instances compelled at vari- ous periods the Anglicizing of•.�Trish family names, and the existence of much wisely varying forms as Mocney, Moynagh and. Money is traceable to the fact that the English and Irish alphabets do not parallel each other completely, and the pronunciation of the Irish diphthongs is quito different from English.

The best we have seen on this sub- ject is an article by Lyman Carrier in the American Journal of Agron- omy. He says; "A silo was used as a grain -pit in the dry Mediterranean countries .be- fore the Christian era. From this orig=inal structure we get the name silo applied to the structure used to- day in preserving green forage. "The modern practice is traced di- rectly to Germany and Hungary and is supposed to be the application of the principle of preserving sauerkraut. The fact that the Germans used salt making their first sour hay lends weight to this opinion. "The first silos were pits dug in the ground and made wider at the top than at the bottom. Into these pits green grass was packed and tramped down by five or six men. Salt was added at the rate of one pound to 100 pounds of grass. "The • first, attempt to ensile corn was made by a German sugar manu- facturer in 1861. The French and Germans then persevered in similar attempts but met with varying de- grees of success. A Frenchman, Count Poederer M. Peret, through his in- vestigations and, efforts, earned the Legion of Honor and the popular name of 'Father of Ensilage.' Introduction into America came about through •articles in agricultural papers. "In. 1891 Prof. F. H. King, of the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station, began the study of the whole subject of silo eonstruetion and ensil- ing. Xing's silo tables for determin- ing the tonnage in a silo are classics. No man has done more than he to make the silo a success." "Pape's Diapepsin" Corrects Stomach.
