Thousands iln This '•Condition
Can Easily Help Themselves.
There are thousands o2 people who
' 1
bear the pain and discomfort of minor
ills In the hope that the indisposition
is only temporary and will be out-
grown in time. Often such illnesses
are not .serious' enough to require the
attention of a doctor, but will respond
to intelligent home trea'tmen t if e
re-
liable remedy is used, Women, busy
with a multitude of household cares,
young women in offices or stores, or
girls studying hard in school, easily
fall a prey to that condition of blood-
lessness known as anaemia. The
trouble need not be serious if prompt
measures are taken to check it in its
early stages, Dr. Williams' Pink Pill's
will restore the elements needed to
bring the blood back to, strength, and
once the blood regains its healthy
quality the entire body will soon how
the benefit: Among the many who
have found benefit through the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is Mrs. Albert
W. Smith, Miscoaobe, P.E.I., who
says:..—"I was very much broken down
in health, had pains in the region of
my heart, and was so short of breath
that if''I went upstairs I would have
to lie down as soon as I reached the
top, Then a strange nervous twitch-
ing of the muscles took possession of
Ins, and every muscle in my body
would apparently be twitching. I be-
came very emaciated, and my family
were much alarmed as to my condi-
tion. At this time I read an article in
our home paper. concerning Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills and decided to give
them a trial. The resait was that in
a short time I felt much improved,
and under further use of the pills I
-felt like a new woman, had gained in
weight and was in every way better.
i would urge anyone afflicted ac -I was
to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a
trial,"
You can get these pills throrgh any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cants
a box; or six boxes for $2.50, from The

hither his remains were carried by his

Surnames and Their Origin
TAFT.
Variation -Taff. •
Racial Origin—Welsh.
Source—A given name.
The origin of the family name of
Taft and the less widely known form
of Taff is likely to ,prove: a' me of. a
myste y to those` who know little of
Welsh; names;'
Both of these foam are develop-
ments of Welsh origin, though from a
namewhich is nearly as old as the Old
Testament:
If- you trace these names back to
their earlier usage among the Welsh
you will find that they were preceded
by the usual "ap," signifying "son of,"
a prefix which, with the change of the
descriptive phrase into the hereditary
family name, has disappeared in mod-
ern times•'.except where it has been in-
corporated as part of the name. "Ap-
Howell," of course, easily became
"Powell," but "Ap Taft" did not amal-
gamate so earily, and the course of
least resistance was just to drop the
prefix.'
"Taft" or "Taff" among the Welsh(
was merely a form of the given name
of David. You can readily see that a
slight change in the sound of the con-
sonants in this• name would give you
"Tafit." (The long "a" in English is
a modern development.") And from
this the elisionof the "1" readily
yielded the pronunciation "Taft"
KIRK PAT RICK
Var'lations—Kirkwood, Kirkland Kirt-
land, Kirkaidy, Kirkby, Kirktey.
Racial Origin—English: •"-!"
Source—Locaitties.'
Here is .a group of family names
which are variations of one another in
the 'sense that their sources are simi-
lar, though not exactly the same.
As has been explained in previous
articles• the word "kirk" is the same
word as "church," the former• proniin-
elation having developed in the North
of England and the Anglo-Saxon part
of Scotland, while the southern Eng-
lish gradually evolved the word
"church:"
All of these family names indicate
that their first bearers' had lived at one
time in one of several towns or com-
munities. Kirkpatrick (which simply
means Patrick's Ohurch), is a place
name in Scotland, as also is Kirkaldy.
Kirkwoods, tracing back to medieval
times, are to be found in, at least two
places in England. Kirkland is a de-
velopment of Kirkland, and places of
this name exist in Cumberland, Fife,
Lancashire and Westmoreland. There
are also numerous places by the name
of Kirkby. Kirkley is in Suffolk.

"It is not my intention today to
make alarmist statements• or quote
panic figures. Without overstating
one's case' one can say, without fear
of contradiction, that the world's tim-
ber situation gives grave reason for
thought and enquiry We read in the
report of a recent American commis-
sion that timber is being cut at three
times the rate of growth. We know
that several gxporting countries admit
that they have over-estimated their
forest resources. Whole groups of
countries have been shut out of the
timber trade by revolutions. dynastic
changes, and the rise and fall in the
value of exchange. Even if we do not.
accept the idea of a world timber
famine, we must admit that never woe
there a time before in which the Em-
pire depended more on its own efforts
for its. supply of timber; nor has there
ever been a time more favorable than
the present for urging the examina-
tion of our Empire timber resources.

Caffeine, the alkaloid in tea and coffee, is
