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.

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!." sat f 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." • The healthy child sleeps well and during its waking hours is never cross but always happy and laughing. It is only the sickly child that is Cross and peevish. Mothers, if your children do not sleep well; if they are cross and cry a 'great deal, give them Baby's Own Tablets: and they will soon be well and .happy again.

They are absolutely guaranteed free from opiates and may be given to the new-born babe with perfect safety.

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. f Supplied with every ' conceiv- able means of gratifieaticn, : a human being soon exhausts the pleasure of 'having things, but given right avenues to employ his energies, he never exhausts the pleasure of doing things. . We fondly imagine that it is bet- ter to have things than do them —an error carried to its natural. height when acting under this mistake we seek to avoid work anis look down upon the worker. -Charlotte.

Clay Glover Co., leo. 129 West 24th Street New York, U.B.A. 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. • • No 'Slums In Nature.
