Are Usually ala ly Victims of Poor
flood and Weak Nerves.
Irritability is one of the manifesta-
tions of nervousnesey and it becomes
worse as dice nerves become more un-
strung and approach a state of ex-
haustion. No one is irritable from pre-
ference, and .this state is often only
the outward expression of a great deal
of physical, suffering which friends do
not realize. It is accompanied by
headaches, sleeplessuess, nervous in-
digestion and depression, , Unlessit is

The treatment for the earlier stages
of; nervousness, as well as the more
advanced condition, is one of nutrition
of the nerve cells, requiring a tonic.
Its the nerves: get their nourishment
from the blood, the treatment must be
directed towarde•,building up the blood.
Dr, "Williams,' Pink Pills act directly on
the blood, and have proved of the
greatest benefit in a great many cases
of this kind. A tendency to anaemia
or bloodlessness, shown by most ner-
vous people, is also corrected by these
tonic pills. This is shown by the case
of Mr. Kenneth R. McDonald, Tarbet,
N'.S., who says: "For a long time I was
a severe sufferer from nervous trou-
ble, with the result that I gew pale and
weak, lost weight, slept poorly, and
alwaysfelt tired out. Various medi-
cines I. tried had no beneficial effect,
until finally I was persuaded to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. I found these
just what I needed, as after taking
them .a couple of months I not only
gained in weight, but fait stronger,
more Cheeiful and better in every way.

too highly for what they have done for

E'ee at F e of Britain's Ava
Aviation ran is :
oaeof the n
tr you,gestof
tele sciences.. It is, only 141 years since
the first weird -looking balloon deeign-
'ed by Montgoifier rose into tife air be-
fore the astonished eyes of King Louis
XVI,, carrying wit's it a cock, a Blick,
and a sheep.
The aeroplane has been with us
barely nineteen years, says an English
writer. It was in 1903 teat a machine
made by the Wright Brothers and
driven by an engine of eight horse-
power rose into the air with a human
passenger.
Since those days progress,has been
rapid. We lave 'maohinesnow whose
engines develop as much power as
railway locomotives, They can carry
loads. up to four tone at speeds of more
than 100 miles an hour.
Every month that passes sees some
new improvement in aircraft. Engines
have now been designed which, through
they will develop 1,200 horsepower,
are yet so light that four men can car-
ry therm with ease. A machete made
entirely of steel has been tested and
found almost' indestructible. Invent-
ors in several countries have had suc-
cesses with helicopters, machines. that
require no "take off" on level ground,
but can rise from the space of a tennis
court straight into the air.
What is to be the future of aviation
'in view of all its, new wonders? Major-
General Sir F. H. Sykes, G.B.E„ K.C.-
B., C.M.G., who during the last part of
the war was Chief of the Air Staff,
tells us something of that in his book,
"Aviation in Peace and War." We can
no longer rely solely upon the Navy
to defend us, he argues, for unless we
can keen the alr`as we keep the seas,
we are•ti
a at he mercy of any foreign
foe with great fleets of a,iroreft,
The gient'planes of to -day can car
ry silt or eight huge bombs eacis w:eig.h
ing half a ton, and can drop Ulm :ac-
curately upon ship,camp, or town.
Sir F. H. ,eykes believes• that the
warfare of the future. will begin, with
air attacks, "Whereas in 1914 it was
twenty days, between the, declaration
of war and the exchange of the first
shots'," he writes, "in the next war the
air battle may be joined within as
really hours, and an air attack launch-
ed almost simultaneously with the de
claration of war,
Hugs bombing machines will as
sembie, he believes, as soon as :war is
imminent, and once it has begun they
will make straight for important
towns, mobilization centres, ;arsenals,
harbors, and railways. A few swift
blows might so paralyze an enemy that,
he could not put up a fight at all.
Aircraft can now drop poison gas
upon towns beneath. It may be con-
tained in bombs, or it may simplybe
sprayed from the skies, falling by les
own weight and dealing Beeth to all
whom it reaches. In recent tests sere -
planes using a new gas more potent
than anything previously devised des-
troyed every living thing on the
ground over which they passed.
But though we must be prepared
against air attacks, civil ,aviation is
equally important.
Steamers and trains have reached
their highest possible speed, it is.. to
the air that we must look for the tra-
vel of the future. For the price of a
battleship an air route to Australia
could be organized, the value of which
would be beyond contemplation,'
Fair Enough.
The visitor was examining the class.
"Can any little boy tell me what a
fishnet is made of?" he inquired.
"A lot of little holes tied together
with strings," smiled the never -falling
bright boy.
Add this to your prayers: "0 Lord,
give me a sense of humor and the
power to laugh."
Surnames and Their Origin
GURNEY
Racial Origin -French.
Source—A locality.
Here is a family name whose origin
you would probably have to wander
Over the snap of Europe to find, ifyou
did Mot .first hunt for clues among the
historical,records of medieval England
or France, ,
And at that you• =would: be- iikeiF '•ta.
•miss, itry account':of bhedi1fer ce
i
f
,spellinge ver thc igh-tbe:: ronuncia-
tion of to -day is not so very far from
that of the French in the Middle Ages.
It is- one of those family names
which were originally descriptive' of
the locality or community frons which
the first' bearers came, and also one of
those which were brought into Eng-
land first by the Normans:
The locality in questionis that of
Gournad,' in Normandy.
The. Normans, by their very : pres-
ence in England, contributed largely
to the rife of. the family name. The in-
vading army, made up of soldiers gath-
ered from many localities, and many of•
them bearing the same given name,
cutting their old ties behind them, and
settling' helter-skelter m a new mune
try, found frequent use for surnames
.which would distinguish one Geoffrey
from another or one John from an-
other. And in the majority of cases it
was customary among them to refer
co the place from which a man had
come, whereas within the Anglo-Saxon
community the tendency would have
been to refer to some•physical peculi-
rity or to a man's parentage,
LOCKHART
Variations — Lockart, Lockir; Loc-
hardt.
Racial Origin -English and -German.
Source—A given name.
Here is a family' name the origin of
which -looks �`r13.i1t t' it
"nore'iifff?itt"iorsimple.e :than. you :might
imagine, for when you dig Into -its his-
tory you find out that It has little to
do either with a` lock:er'a heart,
As a family name it appears to trace
back either to the old 'Anglo-Saxon
given name" of "Locer" (the "c" has,
the "k" pronunciation here) or to the
old German foam of "Lochard."
Both of these given names appear
every once in a whale in the medieval
history of England and Germany, as
we1.1 as of Normandy, for while the
Normans spoke French, they were of
Teutonic origin, and 'most of the no-
menelature was Teutonic.
When it comes to figuring out the
meaning of these given names, things
are not quite so. clear. The Iast sylla-
ble, "hart," is one which is frequently
met with • in old Teutonic names, and.
had in a general way the meaning of
"strength" and "bravery." In fact we
get our modern word "hardy" from
this same root. But though there are
many theories to account for the
"loch," there are none which are cer-
tain enough even to bother quoting.
Three Lives.
To live for self and from self all the
time,
This man has not found the way!
He sees not, he, hears not, he cares not,
he fears not,
His life is a game•of play! •
To live for God, yet from self all the
time--
This man is lacking in power!
He works nand he worries, he plans and
he hurries, •
He sighs through, each passing hour.
To live for God and from God all the
time—
This man is indeed most blest,
He is guided and guarded, urged
and retarded, -
He has entered the life of rest!

What 'is"a Baby?
Some definitions of a baby: -
"Thre bachelor's horror, the mother's
treasure, and the despotiic t ;raa.#,,,,-At
the lfods:lihtfl�;
"The morning' caller noonday crawl
er, and midnight bawler."
"The- only precious possession that
never excites envy."
"The latest edition of humanity, of
which every couple ' think they pos-
sess the finest copy."
A native of all countries, who speaks
the language of none."
"A few inches of 'coo and wiggle,
writhe and scream, fitted with suction'
and testing apparatus for milk, and
automatic alarm to regulate supply!'
"A thing we are expected to kiss
and look as if we enjoyed it."
"A little stranger with a free ,pass
to the heart's best affections."
Bachelors and spinsters make up
the larger part of those who in their
old age are obliged to depend on the
town or province for support. Figures
show that of men who have a trade
.only one in a hundred thousand has to
go to the poorhouse, and that of men
with a college education the proportion
is smaller still.

Are You Poor?
Heaven help the poor!
I do not mean the poor in money. I
mean those whoare poor in resources.
For the only poverty that grinds,
deadens, • and kills is poverty of re-
sources., '
When. sorrow comes the poor in re-
sources ;have no wells of inner happi-
ness from which to draw.
Whentheir money is gone they have
no inner' itches.
When they are bereaved -they have
no tides; of Faith to support thein,
:* * * *
They ,are poor hi self-mastery, and
their environment overcomes them.
They are poor indiscipline, and their
own selves, fall upon them and devour
them. •
They are poor in 'enthusiasms, and
when their one little interest is gone
they have no other,
They are poor in friends, and to
their calamity lei added loneliness,
They, are poor- in thoughts. As
Robert Louis Stevenson said, they do
not have: so, much as two ideas to rub
against each other while waiting for a
train,
They are poor in work, having never
found their task, without which no
soul can be happy.
They +a,te poor in beauty, having
never learned to see it, let alone feed
upon it.
They stand like shivering souls look-
ing in . through 'the window at the
warmth of 11f;3i hungry souls begging
of every'passer-by the bread of praise
which they cannot digest.
It's terrible to be poor, poor in all
that males life rich and strong and
