As a matter a fact, however, it is a compound of a place name with the Norman-French prefix "de," meaning "of" or "from" and quite generally used in the early period of family name formation to indicate the locality iowhich the bearer of the name had lno, or with which, he was in some Erpecial way connected. Earlier records of this name as 'd'Exeter" and "d'Excester" show that In its original use it meant simply "of Exeter," the reference being to the The Work of Paul Peel.

There is such a similarity between the family names of Kelso and Kelsey, the latter of which was explained in the preceding article, that one might be pardoned for jumping at :thee con- clusion that they are really but varia- tions of the same rare They are not, however. Kelsey is a name of Com1sh origin. Kelso is Scottish. And though both are derived from place names, these place names• are alike neither in spell- ing nor meaning. Kelsey, it was explained, came from the ancient place name of "Keays." Kelso comes from the plaoe name of "Caichow," which was a. corruption of the more • ancient form of "Chalk- heugh: ' Though Scottish', this name is' Anglo- Saxon, being in Roxburghshime.

Once a mother has used Baby's Own, Tablets for her little one she would use nothing she. The Tablets give such results that the mother has noth- ing but words of praise and thankful- ness for them. Among the thousands of mothers throughout Canada who praise the. Tablets is Mrs. David A. Anderson, New Glasgow, N.S., who writes;—"I have used •Baby's Own Tablets for my ohdldren and from my>ue�vsprint paper experience I would not be without them, I would urge every other moth - gross. Every pian, woman and child needs new, rich, red blood at this time of the year. That is a scientific fact. All doctors know it. The blood grows thin and poor in the winter; there is not enough of it and spring shows the ef- fect. Take notice and see how many people are pale ane sallow at this time of the year. They complain of being easily tired, their appetite is poor, and they are often depressed and low- spirited. That is mother nature urg- ing them to improve their blood sup- ply; but often their dieesttan is weak- ened so that they cannot turn food into blood without help. Here is where modern medical science comes to the rescue. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have a direct action on the blood and enable you to get full use of the blood - malting elements in your meals. You soon feel their effect—your appetite improves, your nerves are steadier, color returns to the cheeks and lips, you have more vim and energy and can work with less fatigue. The above statements are borne out by the ex- perience of Mr. J. P. (ireschuk, Janow, Man., who says:—"Vary recently I found myself in a badly run down con- dition. My stomach was quite out of order; I could eat but little and what I did eat did not appear to nourish me. I did not seem to have enough blood; my hands and legs were blue, and I had no strength to work_ I tried sev- eral medicines but did not get good re- sults-. Then one day reading our news- paper I read about Dr. Williams' Pink. Pills and decided to try them. I used a half dozen boxes, and now I feel well and strong, have a good appetite, and can do my work with ease. Naturally I have great faith in this medicine as a blood -making tonic." Whether you are seriously ill, or merely feel easily tired and out -of - sorts, you should try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills this spring. They axe sold by medicine dealers everywhere, or Will be went by mail at 50 cents a box by writing The Dr. Williams' Medicine. Co„ Brockville, Ont. Was Methuselah Really Old? How old was Methuselah:? Nine hundred and sixty-nine years is the age with which we have always credited this patriarch. Now however, scientific research has reduced the figure to 78V, years! Experts point not that there has al- ways been a certain amount of doubt oonoerning the great age eupposed to have been attained -by patriarchs, and many theories; have been evolved to reduce Biblical records of eels kind to something near man's normal span. It is supposed that in the earliest times the month, or period of a moon cycle, was called a year. So that Adam's 930 years of life, calculating a year at 291/4 days, the length of a lunar month, works. out at 761/q, years. After the month -year there would appear to have cornea five-month year, the limit of five being derived from the fingers of one Land, for primitive peoples used the -fingers, for purposes of calculation. On the five-month year basis, Abrahasn'e 175 years shrink to 72, and, Isaac's, 180 to 74. It is alsro pointed out that it is pos- sible there intervened a nix -month year, discovered by Jacob -while watch- ing Laben's flocks. Thus, Jacob's. 147 years work out: at about 73. The twelve-month year originated with the Egyptians!, whre saw that a complete period was made up of two "yearn,” in one of which the days were longer than the nights, and in the other the nights were \ on.ger than the days.

'Ilhie modern aim of medicine to pre- vent disease rather than wait for it to declare itself is encouraging. In. form- er days people used to remark with some amusement that among other "queer" customs of the Chinese -- queer because oolltrary`to our ideas. or practice—was that of paying the doe - tar only so long as you were we11.; but nowadays we are beginning to think that the custom is perhaps not so fun- ny unny after all. We have: always been Pone of saying, "An ounce of preven- tion is worth a pound of euro," but, curiously enoag'h, we applied the maxim to almost everything except health. Now, however, we axe coming to sae that it applies to bodily file with special. force. The modem effort to prevent disease began with the doctors, who in spite of the good-natured, and the sometimes 111 -natured, fen that is .poked at them are true lovers of their kind.

Moreover, associations of medical men have boon established for considering the best means' to promote public health and to prevent epidemics. But at bottom responsibility for health rests with the individual, who should form the habit of going to his physi- cian for a clean. bill of health, just as he goes- to his dentist to ascertain the condition of his mouth.
