Every girl and every. boy should have plenty of pure, red blood and strong 'nerves, With thin, lnxpureblood they start life with ,a handicap top great to win .success and happiness, Bich, red blood means health, full growth,. 1tr.ong nerves, •a clear brain and' goo digestion. In a Word pure blood is the foundation of health, The signs of weak, watery blood lire unmistakable, The pale,;irritab'le girl or boy, who has no appetite or ambition, is always tired out, short of breath and does not grow strong, is a victim of anaemia the greatest en- emy of youth. 'There is just one thing to do for these girls and boys— build up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can't afford to experi- ment with other remedies, for there must be no guess work in the treat- ment of anaemia. Dr Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood, giving It the elements it lacks, thus develop- ing strong, healthy girls and boys. Mrs. R. Kinch, Hepworth, Ont., tells as follows what these Pills did for her daughter:—"I think it a duty to let others know the benefit which Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been to my daughter, and I hope this may be the means of:inducing some other sufferer to try them, She was weak, nervous and badly run down. She took medi- eine from the doctor but gat no bene- fit, and finally she was not able to. walk to school, I was advised to give her Dr, Wiliains' Pink Pills, which I did, and after taking them for a time she was restored to perfect health. I cannot speak too hig'hlly of these ;,,ills." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills 'through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockville, Ont. A Laove Letter Five Thousand Years Old. Archaeologists are continually mak- ing surprising discoveries among the rubbish heaps that mark the sites of the vanished cities of Mesopotamia. It is not so long ago that the remark- able code of King Hammurabi was found among the ruins',of Babylon in- scribed on a large and irregular stele. That carries us back to two thousand years before Christ, but the recent dis- covery at Tello, Nippur and Ur in Chaldea of clay tablets nearly or quite a thousaud years older carries us back to what we consider as the dawn of civilization. We find that the people who dwelt. Meng the Tigris and Euphrates so long ago were both civilized and euiti vated and wrote letters much like those we write to -day. Among the dis- coveries is this delightful little letter scratched by a young man on a clay tablet and sent to his beloved: "To Bibea, thuse,says Gimil Murduk: may the gods Staneas•h and Marduk permit thee to live forever for my l sake. I write to inquire concerning thy health. Tell me how thou art. I went to Babylon but did not see thee. I was greatly disappcinted. Send the reason for thy leaving, that I may be happy. Do come -in the month March esvan. Keep well always for my sake." Does it not seem strange that this eager inquiry of a lover after the health of a girl who hasbeen dead for fifty centuries perhaps should so long have survived both the man and the "':maid and come to be seen and read to -day by men who live thousands of milesbeyond the limits of the Iittle world they knew! Love Defined. The other day we come across a de- finition of love that is well worth read- ing and remembering: ''Love is the doorway through which the human weir passes from selfishness into ser- vice and from solitude into kinship with all humanity," Money -Mt king.. Memoirs, xt is estimated that when the world book anti serial rights of Mr, LIQYd Ceerge's forthcoming memoirs have 'been se'at', the ']?rime Minister; will re- • cetye approximately $450,000. As the book„ will contain150,000, words, he will thus' get three dollars ti word, 'a rate of: remuneration for li'tere, a,ry work that leas seldom, .if ever, been . equalled: Mrs. 4.'squ,ith's "diary, wlxica' ereete i such world-wide interest, has brought in' about $75,.000; the eX•Kais'er 'has secured $,200,000 " for his life -tory;. while Admiral Jellicoe; ,obtained only a few thousand dollar . Mr. Church- ill's me''nioire, when they .are publish- ed, will, ; it• is believed,; bring in about $250,000. Mr, A. S, M. Hutchinson has' eo far, received $360,000 ' for "If Winter Comes," which, by the::way, marked a record in literary remuneration, beat- ing the $300,000 which Mr. Harold Bea Wright, the American author, received for ".The Winning of Barbara Worth." While present-day authors. are 'sup posed to reap better harvests, than their predecessors; many popular books of the past brought their writers quite large: sums'. Mrs. Barclay, the author of "The Rosary," earned $200,- 000; Lord Beaconsfield was paid $16,- 000 for "End,ymion"; George Eliot sold the serial rights of "Rontoia" for $35,- 000; and Charles Dickens the copy- right of "Bahnaby Rudge" for six months for $15,000. On the other hand, the authors of many works of genius received very little indeed. "The Vicar of Wake- field" was sold by Goldssnith far $300; Miss Helen Mathers was paid only $150 far "Coming Through. the Rye," and Sterne was refus'e'd $250 for "Tris- tram Shandy." How Hailstones Form. It is during summer -time that hail- stones occur most frequently. One might expect that these balls of ice, would fall from the sky on the cold days of winter, but it Is the heat of summer that gives rise to them, for theycan be formed chili in tthun- dery weather. When there is thunder about there are always very strong upward draughts of air. As raindrops begin to fall they are caught by these currents and carried to great 'heights, where they freeze solid. If they now fall to earth they arrive in the form of hail- stones that are usually seen. Sometimes', however, after falling through the clouds and receiving a coating of moisture they are carried up again by other currents. The mois- ture freezes upon them, increasing their size. The process may go on for some time, in which case the hailstone re- ceives coating after coating of ice un- til it becomes' as large as 'a marble or even an egg.. Then it falls' with mil lions,o•f.others,'destroyingacrops, tear- ing fruit' off the trees,, and even kill- ing cattle in the fields. • KEEP CHILDREN HEALTt�Y To keep children healthy the bowels must be kept regular and the stomach sweet. Nine -tenths of the aihnents which afflict little ones are causcd by derangements of the bowels and stomach. No other medicine can equal Baby's Own Tablets in guarding either the baby or growing child from the ills that follow a disordered condition of the bowels or stomach: They are a mild but thorough laxative and never fail to give results.. Concerning them Mrs.. W. B. Coolledge, Sarnia, Ont., Says: "I have used Baby's Own Tab- lets for over three years and have found them the best medicine I have ever used for my children. I never have any trouble giving them to my little ones and they have saved me many a doctor's bill. My advice to all mothers of little ones is to keep a box of the Tablets in the House." The Tablets are sold by all medicine deal- ers or by mail at • 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont.

Retial Origin—Irish. Source—A given name. Except for the fact that every man has a right to spell his name as he - Pleases, you would call this form Mc- Crory incorrect, and a "corruption" of - • the forte MacRory. The Gaelic form of the name is. "MacRuadlhrl," which isn't nearly so far froth the .Axtglicized.form as It seems, if . you'll jest remefnbar, that the "eh" conibinatiorx is silent. The "MacRuadhri" clam came into being about the year 1260• AD., as a brandy of the Mac1 onnels of Antrim. The dee narne, as was usual, was com- pounded from the given name of the chieftain. who gathered' around hint from among relatives, friends and fel- lowers the nucleus, of the new clan and procured for it official receglditicn as fnch, His name was "Ruadhrigh," wihich, signified "red -beaded." 'rho varia'ti'ons Rodgers, Rogers and Rogerrson all represent mere arbitrary tlxang'es tit the Anglicizing of the n rne, ,changes dictated for the • truest >aaft either •by political l;eas'of),s (/r by '$o'Iterntnfertal t*sl ipgs, CONWAY Variations—MacConwy, Conwy, Mac- Conrny, Conmy. Racial Origin—Irish. Source—A given name. There are a lot of people who wouldn't believe you if you told them. that the family name of Conway is Irish. It doesn't "sound" Irish. But take a lok at the Gaelic ;spelling' of the name. It 18 "MacConmeadha." That seems Irish enough. But it brings up another question inyour mind. Even in the transition from Irish into English; how 'do you change an "m" into a "w?" The modern forms of the name IVIacCenrny and Conley seem logical enough, but how about Conway and Coxwyl �1'3te explanation lies in the fact that in Gaelic the "m1' is sometimes pro Pounced as a "tic'," as it is also pro, sstounced;.as a "b'" In certain combilia- tions, and when You SLOP and think of it, this Isno more illogical than-Pountt ing "pix" like "f," as is done in modern Engtiari. This clan name collies from the given mute of the chieftain who founded it, One "Cumeadh," Tiie elan. f.s an" o•ffshoat Off the eider clan of the "M aeSionnaighie," or, as the naxne has been called for many. gendx'atiteee the Foxes, a'(1ied'to the b'Neilit of Tyl'c ,e;' ore of the 1 VVhat' iu DQR1e o •Yt' hai pr.

O.ntar--io, moreover, has no machine- ry, as yet for the discovery, sifting out'and examination of the large num- bers of feeble-minded of both 'sexes and.all ages. .4i, the larger cities of Ontario and the ,Western Provinces considerable prevision is made for specialized edu- cation of children of school age in spa- classes under trained teachers. Iii this Vancouver has led all Cana- dian, cities and has some two dozen classes and a special supervisor of this department of the work of the Schools. Quebec, New Brunswick and P.1+7.I. leave as yet made no provision for the care of their feeble-minded, excepting ;that some of the worst of them are iii, the Hospitals, for the Insane, where of, course they cannot be given the 'training or industrial employment that bhiey ought to have. In Nova Scotia what little care has in the past been bestowed has been given in the various county poor- houses, oorhouses, where harinles•s insane, ment- al defectives, aged poor, and even some children have all been housed in : the same institution without train- ing, without proper occupation, with- out adequate medical treatment, and without classification. This deplorable condition has be- come public through the survey of the ;Mental Hygiene Committee, and as *result the Legislature has authorized the Government to establish and equip of heredity ,and of society. , The eaire of such, under the. Canadian Con•iY, i tution, falls to the Provinces., It necessary, therefore, to state the Pon ditiens in' each Province as to• the Care of the Feeble-minded. The Canadian National Comarittea,' for Mental 'Hygiene has made a stand ing offer to all Provincial Govern- ments to make free a survey of ,the numbers, conditions and needs of the mentally abnormal and subnormal. in their respective Provinces and to out- line a programme or plan for their, adequate care and the prevention Of the birth of more of their kind. In: "a single generation it is .possible to•'al- most entirely eliminate the feeble minded.- The Committee has made surveys of the four Western Pro vinces, of Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick. In Ontario Judge Ho'dgins made an investigation and recommended : a policy. Quebec and P. E. I. conditions have not been investigated. Manitoba has led all the Provinces' in this matter as in their new Child' Welfare Act, Some theee years ago the Government adopted the plans re- commended by the Mental Hygiene Committee, enacted the necessary en- abling legislation, and proceeded to put it into effect. It includes the es- tablishment of an industrial farm sin- stitution, of a Psychopathic wing or. ward in the General Haspital of Win. nipeg for study and treatment and un- der nder the new Child Welfare law provi- sion is made for the appointment of a medical officer trained in Psychiatry to examine and report on the mental condition of all children who are the wards of the Province, e.g., neglected, dependent, delinquent, defective, im- migrant or those born out of wedlock, and for the appointment of a Board. of Selection to determine what shall be done with all mentally defective child- ren. The necessary specialized care and training are to be provided as re- quired. In the larger centres special classes are provided and taught by specially trained teachers. All persons accused of any offense before the courts are subject to mental examina- tion and if found defective become wards of the Child Welfare Depart Parents of nxentally deficient child ren cau place them for training in tri institutions of the Proven co, Thus fairly adequatenixchinery.is.. provided for the discovery, sifting out, special training and, when necessary, custodial' care of Manitoba's mental defectives.

The whale who, because he lives in. the water, is often supposed to be a member of the fish family, is in reality no more one than Ls a human' being. He is in reality an animal very much like a cow or horse, and his flesh is real animal flesh, nothing whatever like that of a fish, And like all other animals, he cannot remain under water withoutan occasional, trip .to the surface; The whale, however, is able to hold his breath foe a long time, sometimes 46 minutes, and he is able to open bis mouth under. water when eating be- cause his nostrils connect directly with his windpipe and not with the back of his mouth, as in most other' animals. SVIten he comes to the surface he blows the air out of his lungs.
