WHY SACK (11E
The Kidneys Seldom to Blame—
The Trouble Due to Blood:
Impurities.
There is more nonsense talked about
backache than any other trouble.
Some people have been frightened into
the belief that every backache means
deadly kidney trouble. As a matter of
medical`fact not one backache in twen-
ty has anything to do with the kidneys.
Most backaches come from• sheer:
weal nese and kidney drugs can't help
that. You need something to improve
your blood and build you up, and that
is :exactly what aDr. Williams' Pink
Pills will do. acme backaches are
really muscular rheumatism; some are
the symptoms of such ailments as in-
fluenza, indigestion, constipation and
liver troubles. in women most back-
aches came from any weakness or ir-
regul-arity of the blood supply. To get
rid of the trouble take a tonic like Dr.
Williams' Pink. Pills to enrich the
blood. and bring strength to aching
backs and weak nerves. Mr. W.
Prince, Lovering, Ont., tells what
these pills did for him. Hie says;—
"Periodically I suffered for about five
years with backache. If I caught cold
It seemed to settle in my back, which
pained me so badly that I could hardly
turn over in bed. These attacks would
last for a week or ten days. I tried
many remedies but they did not drive
away the trouble. About two years
ago, while suffering from one of these
attacks, a friend advised me to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I followed
his advice with the best of results, as
I have had no attack of the trouble
. since, and I feel sure that I am per-
manently relieved."
You can get these pills through any
dealer in medicine or by mail postpaid
at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.

' Balfour's Modest Caddie.
Lord Balfour was once playing golf
on a strange course and had with him
a diminutive caddie who was very free
with his advice as to distances, what
clubs to use, and so forth. Tlie states-
man played the round with much suc-
cess, and when be had holed his last
shot the little man turned to him ad-
miringly and, gazing at his tall frame,
said, "Eh, mon, if I had your legs, and
ye had me intellect, what a. pair we'd
lake!."

Surnames and Their Origin
ELPHINSTONE
•Racial-Origin—Scottl )h.
Source—A locality.
A great many Scottish family names
are of Gaelic origin, particularly those
which have come out of the Highlands,
where the blood is virtually all Gaelic.
All Scots, however, are not Gaels.
The majority of Lowlanders and the
populations of the southern and east-
ern sections. of Scotland are principal-
ly Teutonic in blood and show to -day
as great a proportion of true Anglo-
Saxon blood as to be found in any part.
of England except the Yorkshire sec-
tion (in the North). What we know
to -day as the Scottish dialect is not
' . English spoken with a Gaelic accent,
but a tongue directly descended from
the Anglo-Saxon speech •of the medie-
val Lowlauders and Yorkshireluen,
and less influenced by the French of
the Normans than is modern English.
The Highlander, except as he may pick
up this dialect from the Lowlander,
will speak English with an accent of-
ten indistinguishable to the ordinary,
person from an Irish "brogue."
Elphinstone is a place name of Scot-
tish Anglo-Saxon origin, • being com-
pounded of "eifenne or "ealfenne"
�.- (ellin or fairy) and "sten" (stone). It
is the name of a barony, so called
from the nature of the peculiar flinty
stones there, suppcsed in Anglo-Saxon
mythology to have been arrow tips
shot by the fairy folk.
As a family name, of course, it indi-
cated originally that the bearers of it
had come from that place.
Curious Camphor Ceremonies
One of the most important indus-
tries of Borneo is ^.mphor gathering,
and many weird religious rites are con•
nected with it.
Camphor is obtained from the wood
and leaves of the camphor -tree, . and
t:e variety grown in Bornea is prir
titularly valuable. The industry is en-
tirely in the hands of natives, for Eur-
opeans confine their activities to rub-
ber.
The camphor is found on certain
trees, either in little crystals like.
sugar, or in masses. These • large
pieces aro not unlike the human fore-
arm in Shapeand size;
Before the natives set out to gather
the camphor their villages, are uncan-
nily silent. The menwho are to reap
the harvest avoidoil of any kind, and
wen liltey set out take neither pins
nor mirrors with them.
While thoy are away from home
they may eat only certain foods, and
each man must consume a small por-
tion of earth to ensure good luck. The
gatherers speak incertain set phrases,
which form what is known as the holy
complier language.
HEALTHY REN
ALWAYS SLEEP WELL
HATCH
Varlatlons—Hatcher, Hatchman.
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A locality.
The noun "hatch," when it does not
refer to the number of birds hatched
at a setting, is described to -day as a
narrow line in engraving, or drawing,
a door with an opening over it, allele -
door, a door or opening by which de-
scent is made from one deck of a ship
to another. A weier is often referred
to as a hatch.
If the word had had these 'exact
meanings in the medieval ages it is
not likely that there would be eo many
people to -day bearing the family name
of Hatch; at least, the name would not
have developed exactly along the lines
it has.
Refer to two of the present-day defi-
nitions, a line in a drawing, or a half -
door. These meanings are closest to
and logical developments from the me-
dieval meaning, which was nothing
more or less than a single bar across
a woodland pathway as a sort of gate,
under or over which a man might pass,
but the larger• animals could not. It
was, in fact, a half -door or half -gate.
Naturally suclr Batches were local
landmarks and a person whose house
was near one of them might most na-
turally be referred to in many cases as
"John atte Hatch," "John Hatcher" or
"John Hatchman."

Poison Gas for Pests.
Poison -gas, the greatest horror: of
modern warfare, has been put to
many excellent uses in time of peace.
It has been employed with the great-
est success to get rid of both rats and
mice. A heavy gas is used which
trickles down the holes like water
through a pipe.
A lighter form of gas is turned on to
flies when they seek their winter quar-
ters in the cracks of ceilings• and walls.
of warm rooms. The majority of flies
die when winter comes in, but num-
bers of them manage to exist through
the cold weather, and it is they who
produce the following summer's myri-
ads of winged pests. If we could des-
troy all the winter sleepers by means
of gas, there would soon be very few
flies in the whole Country..
A third use for gas was found dur-
ing the summer, when whole tracts of
fruit trees were being devoured by
swarms of caterpillars..
Aeroplanes flying low above tate
tree -tops sprayed heavy gas upon them
and the caterpillars dropped dead in
thousands.

Meteors That Gave Us Life?
Were the first germs of life brought
to the earth by meteors?
This interesting , theory has been
suggested by two French scientists. It
was believed that no life could survive
in the intense cold of space, which is
probably nearly five hundred degrees
below zero, But it is thought now that
under these conditions certain low
forms of life might exist. They would
not be killed but merely suspended.
Experiments have shown that some
seeds survive in a temperature of ;four
hundred and twenty degrees below
zero.
Germs of life •have, it is claimed,
been found in a number of meteorites
which, have at various times fallen to
the earth.:.Tiiese germs have been re-
stored to life in the laboratory of MM.
Galippe and Souffland, the two
scients , mentioned above. Certain
forms of animal and vegetable life, to-
gether with traces of water and oxy-
gen, have also been discovered in
meteors.
Meteors, or sheeting stars, are gen-
erally believed to be parts of planets
that ° have become detached, and
Science believes that life in some form,
exists on other heavenly bodies. There-
fore, there seems to be no reason why.
germs cannot be transferred from one
planet to anotherif they can survive
the cold and the action of the light
rays;ound in space. •
