Here is• another of those English family names- of the kind which sprang up in a great many sections of that country through The entire period of .ftimily name formation. These names were based upon local place names, mostly of the descriptive kind,:iu many 'instances known only to those who lived in the'conlmunitiea in which the names sprang up, names like Hill, Dale, Ford, Woods, Cliff, Grove and the like. Laterally the name Hawley would mean a hedged piece of meadowland, for it .is a compound of the ancient Anglo-Saxon words' "haeg" and "ley," the former being the word from which has come our rabflern word. "hedge" as well as such names! as Haig, Hedges, Ilay and the like. The forms Haw and Hawes, of course, are either shortened' forms of Hawley or'"else• names. deniv ci simply from the old word "baeg." GROSSBECK. Va riatip n---Broesbeck. Racial Origin -Dutch;. Source—A locality. • Groesbeck is .really. the more cow= rect spelling of this nanile, if it can be said that there is any better standard of spelling family' names than the habit of the bearer himself. Groesbeck the Dutch way of spell- ing it. The other from, Grossbeck, is a changed spelling which has comp about through the influence of the English language in instances: where the name bias been used tor long peri- ods either,in America or England. If you were to translate this name literally into English it would be simp- ly "Bigstream." The word "groes" is nothing but the Dutch equivalent for the English word, "gross" (or. "great"). which) is also to be found in both French and German, and "beck," mean- ing stream. BABY'S HEALTH IN THE SPRING The Spring is a time of anxiety to ]mothers who have little ones in the home. Conditions make it necessary to keep the baby indoors. He is often confined to overheated, badly venti- lated rooms and' catches colds which rack his whole system. To guard against this a box of Baby's Own Tab- lets should be kept in the house and an occasional dose given the baby to keep his .stomach and boiSels working regularly. This will prevent colds, constipation or colic and keepbaby well. The Tablets are 'sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., B;;ockville, Ont.

So lovingly he holds within His. hand the tiny seeds and sees A vision of bright fairy things., That soon will flutter in the sun, Like butterflies on flaming wings. So lovingly he lays• them down In beds. made soft and warm to Bleep, And carefully above their heads, For fear of bitter wind and storm, A magic+. covedtbet he spread's. So lovingly he waits until Awakened by a thousand sounds, With tender outstretched arms they rine, And struggle to their feet, to find An eager weloome in his eyes. So lovingly he watches when With quick response they do his will, And in his garden, kneeling there, With busy hands, care sifts away, And peace comes like an answered prayer. —Lillian Howard Cort. League of Nations to Urge Protection for Scientists. The right of scientists to share in the benefits derived from the applica- tion of their discoveries. has received official attention from the League of Nations Intellectual Co-operation Com- mission. A sub -committee assigned to go into the question has just -concluded its studies, and a plan is now being drafted for the legal protection of scientific work, After approval by the commission, and then by the council of the league, the plan would serve as a basis ' for legislation in the parlia- ments of the different countries throughout the world. ,r.al.Y,, r�,'}�,,*..�g..::•,}�-cc>Tr4•'�M*•s:...av^_YtiF22ti'.,!C1,ibzw,',u•.+n..� ...

SPRING IMPURITIES DUE TOPOOR BLOOD A Tonic M''edicine a Necessity at This Season. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an all- year- uud'te nth Or the, blood and nerves. But they are especially valu- able 'nerves. n-thte spring when thesystem is loaded with impurities as a result: of the indoor lite'of the winter month% There is no other season when the blood is so much in need of purifying and enriching, and every dose `Of these pills help&to enrich the blood. In the spring one feels weak and tired -Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give strength. In the spring the appetite is often poor— Dr. Williams' Pink Pills develop the appetite, tone the stomach. and aid weak digestion. It is in the spring that polstons in the blood find an out- let in disfiguring pimples, eruptions and boils ---Dr. Williams' Pink Pills clear the skin because they go to the root of the trouble in the blood. In the spring anaemia, rheumatism, indiges- tion, neuralgia and many other trou- bles are most persistent because of poor, weah blood, and it is at this time when all nature takes on new life that the blood most seriously needs atten- tion. Some people dose themselves with purgatives at this season, but these only further weaken themselves. A purgative merely gallops through the system, emptying the bowels, but does not help the blood. On the other hand, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enrich the blood which reaches every nerve and every organ in the body, bring new strength and vigor to weak, easily, tired men, women and children. Try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills this spring— they will not disappoint you.

At a recent concert in Winnipeg, a gentleman said to his guest from the East, "I just notice that on this pro- gramme the names of the composers of the song lyries are omitted. I won- der who is responsible for such an 'oversight?" It may be said at once that such omissions are not confined by any means to Winnipeg. Every- where you go you will find programmes giving the names of the composers• of the music, but the persons res•ponaible for the texts are nameless. Some- times the programme even gives In full the two or three stanzas of each of the texts without mentioning the writers' names, Is it to save a few cents in composi- tion at the printers? Is it just thought- lessness? Or is it because the one re- sponsible for the programme consider- ed the words f no importance? e? One of the foremost vocalists on this continent said the other day, "before I study a new song to, add to my, re- pertoire, I read over the words care- fully and if they are nit worth while, I wouldn't put any time on the song no matter how exceptionally line the mucic was." Another singer, a famous tenor, said recently: "When I get a new song, I first familiarize myself with the text If the words prove silly or sentimental, I throw the song aside. For no matter how good the music, a song is not worth singing unless tho words are worth hearing. Words and music should constitute a harmonious union. For that matter I believe that the accompaniment to a song is just as much a part of it as the portion written for the voice," • , T1ie most successful composers lay great stress' on the lyrics, There is absolutely no excuse for using the words of a song on the programme without giving proper credit to the writer of those words, and it would be goad taste when listing songs to say words by so-and-so, and music by so - and so. No musde publisher would is- sue a song without the title, page cover- ing the name of the lyric writer in prominent type along with that of the composer of the music. Vanity's Reward.

"We are required to keep a record of all our guests," The man wrote his name and was about to lay down the pen when the clerk added': "Now the. plaoe, if you please." "What place?" "The place you came from. Where do you live?" "I live on the island." "Well, but what island?" The other Booked at him in amaze- ment. Then he said, with an emphasis that left no doubt of his feelings, "Prince Edward Island, man. What other island is there?" An Original Explanation.

Spent Lots of Money,.But Wife Got No Better Until Tanlac Ended Stomach' Trouble. "I never saw such a change as Tan - lac has made in my wife,and she says she is .feeling like a girl of sixteen now," declared Harold William, a well-known shoemaker, of 28 Cornwall St., Toronto, Ont., recently. "For years, she was so weak and run- down I often thought she would fall in her tracks. Nearly everything she ate disagreed with her and at times she was simply in agony. Her nerves were so unstrung the least little !thing would worry and upset her for hours and she could scarcely get any sleep. "Well, after spending hundreds of dollars on different medicines, I didn't have much hope that Tanlac would help her, but, it's a fact, when she finished the treatment, every ailment was gone. That was several months ago and since then her health has been splendid. Hereafter we will always pin our faith to Tanlac." Tanlac is for sale by all good drug- gists.
