WORN OUT NERVES Due Solely to Weak, Water Blood --A Tonic is Needed, you :may sometimes hear, Very softly chiming in, magically clear, Magically high and sweet, the tiny crystal notes y Of fairy volces bubbling free from tiny fairy throats. Anaemia —• literally impoverishe blood—comes, on so stealthily that is often well advanced before its pre Bence is recognized. Feelings o fatigue and discomfort are the earlies manifestations of the trouble an these are seldom taken serious' Gradually small tasks become an e fort and exertion cauaea the heart t paip.tate violently. The coniplexio becomes sallow or pale and there 1 loss of weight. The nerves grow wea and the victim displays irritability u der slight provocation and is extrem ly sensitive to noise. The appetite 1 fickle and indigestion often foliows. A condition of anaemia calls for tonic, one that will enrich the bloo and strengthen the nerves, and fo this purpose there is nothing can equa Dr. Williains' Pink Pills, These pill give tee blood all those missing el Tents necessary to give strength t the nerves, color to the cheeks, an nourishment to starved organs and tissues. Miss Margaret J. Fraser, RR. 2, Thessalon, Ont., has proved the Value of this treatment. She says: "I was very pale and weak. My blood was poor and I was very nervous. I Lost my appetite, my feet and ankles were swollen and I was in a very mis- erable condition. A friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I got two boxes, and found before they were finished that they were helping nae. I continued the pills until I had taken a half dozen boxes, with the re- sult that I am now' enjoying the best of health, all symptoms having disap- peared. I feel confident that what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for me they will do for others, if given a fair trial."

Soon One May Talk Across the Ocean. Now that the British Government bas appointed a notable committee of experts to act in co-operation with American experts in investigating the problem of wireless, telephony over long distances and especially to ]Hake wireless, telephony a commercial possi- bility between America and Gt. Britain, there are some enthusiasts here who see the day not far distant when pas- sengers on the Atlantic highway can keep in touch 'with business interests on both aides of the big pond during the whole six days of the voyage, says a London despatch. Much of the mystery of ocean travel, they argue, then will be over for the Atlantic lane will be the objective, of telephonic communication from both sides,. What is adding to the enthusi- asm of veteran travelers too, is the possibility of being regaled with broad- cast concerts from both sides of the water while a ship is at sea. It remains to he seen whether Brit- ish shipping lines will follow the exam- ple of having oceau going Follies as planned for the Leviathan. The French already have promised to provide the: atrical troupes for some liners going to South America. What" -evidently is stimulating the British seriously to take up wireless telephony is, the success achieved in the United States. About two months ago attention was centred on wireless telephonic possibilities when the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Radio Corporation of New Yorlc through the Western Elec- tric Company sent a message of con- siderable length at a pre -arranged time which was clearly audible to a big audience in London. What also has centred public atten- tion onthe matter of communication with America is the frequency with which broadcast concerts from Ameri- ca are clearly heard here, including the Yankee "twang," as it was des- cribed. At one of the big stations where an American jazz band concert was heard recently ft was said later that there was no mistaking where it came from as the announcer had a nasal voice. . Heat and Life. We often speak of our bodies as ma- chines or engines, working upon grin- eiples similar to those employed in mechanics. The idea that the food we eat resembles in its action the fuel supplied to a furnace is familiar, and yet one can hardly avoid a little start of surprise upon learning that the laws of heat engines are soberly applied to explain the growth, of plant and ani- mal life. • This has been done in a most Inter- esting ,way by a Bridal scientist be- fore the Philosophical Society in Len - don. He points out, for instance, that the increase of available energy re- sulting front the building up of a plant out of inorganic substances, can only be explained, in accordance with ther- modynamic laws, by differences' of temperature during the growth of the plant, and his calculations show that the difference between day and night is quite sufficient to account for the differences of temperature required. Similar principles. apply to the growth of animals. Nature gives noth- ing for nothing, and demands, an exact equivalent for every expenditure of her energies, whether she is aiding man, to drive an engine, causing an oak to grow or building up the muscles of an athlete or the brain of a phil- osopher. And as far as her work upon the planet is concerned the. source of her supplies in all these cases is the sun. fig No Repentance Now.

He Hadn't Earned the Right; The friend of a certain captain of in- dustry once applied to the great man for a job for his son, just out of col- lege. "He's a bright, honest, modest young. man," said the proud father, if I do say so myself." "Modest?" snorted the industrial captain. "What has he even done to be modest about?"

BABY'S OWN TABLETS ALWAYS IN THE HOME Once a mother eas used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she always keeps a supply on hand, for the first trial convinces her there is "'nothing to equal them in keeping children well. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach, thus driving out , constipation and indigestion, colds and simple fevers and making teething easier. Concerning them, Mrs. Saluste Pelletier, St. Dumas, Que., writes:— "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for the past ten years and am never with- out them in the house. They have al- ways given the greatest satisfaetien and I can gladly recommend them to all mothers of little ones," The Tab- lets are sold by medicine dealers or direct by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brock- ville, Ont. - Human Sacrifice Offered Rain God. A story almost incredible to Euro- pean ears of the savage man's faith in human sacrifice to propitiate the weather god has just been received from Rhodesia, writes a correspondent to "The London Daily News," Following continued drought, an un- fortunate native was seized, bound and publicly burned to death as an offering to the, Rain God. A tragic coincidence was the almost simultaneous breaking of the drought, and this, of course, des- pite the fact that sixty-three men have been arrested on a charge of murder in connection with the affair, is the surest guarantee that a custom which has already sent some seventy unfor- tunate men to a horrid death will be continued. For some time past the elders of the Mtawara tribe, alarmed at the long drought and the poor crops following a season of famine, have been holding councils led by a "rain doctor." The outcome :of these councils was a d cision to offer to the Rain God Mwar something which had never failed to earn his favor—a human victim burn- ed before a suppliant people. Select a Human Victim. The positive, constructive man, the progressive man, does• not talk and think negatives. He does not say "I can't"; it is al- ways "I can"; the does not say "I will try to do it," but "I will do it." "Cant's" have ruined more people than almost anything else. It is a dangerous thing to get into the negative habit, the doubting habit, the "I can't" habit. It tends to keep people down. They are fastening bonds' of ser- vitude around themselves, and in later life will not be able to counteract their influence un- less they reverse their thinking, talking and acting. Discovers Way to Intensify Perfume of Flowers. ' Intensifying the perfume of fiowers is' the latest horticultural experiment in France, says a Paris despatch. Re- sults achieved by Prof. Daniel, of the University of Rennes, were presented here yesterday before the Academy of Sciences and declared to open up a new field allowing hitherto undreamed of poss,ibilities for perfume makers. By grafting a shoot of wormwood on a chrysantheum it was found the odor of the chrysanthemum was greatly in- tensified. From the seeds of the graft splendid plants were obtained the fon hewing year, which produced flowers. Some of the blossoms, had powerful perfume, but others were entire'& odorless. Although the experimentation admit- tedly is in its infancy, it is generally agreed this new horticultural wrinkle is capable of tremendous results from a commercial standpoint, and for that reason it is to be tried on a great scale at Grasse, the centre of the per- fume industry of France, All per- fume -making fiowers will be grafted with shots of various plants in an ef- fort to determine what species play the role of intensifier. e Putting on Dogwood. Putting on dogwood is little Miss Spring, All around the wood border, the lov- able thing. The elder's choice fell upon a riative named Mtegedt, whose preference for one •of his fellow tribesmen's wives clad: been noted and resented. The fact that the man was a brother of the injured husband and a son of the "rain doctor" did not save him. The •chief's approval having been given, a number of natives were sent to secure the victim, and a sacrificial yre was prepared. The man, Mtegedi, as captured, bound, and dragged to the pyre, around which a great crowd. of natives had assembled. The doomed man struggled violent- ly, but a whole people were against him, and he was thrown into the ames: Then followed the strange, uncanny oincidence referred to. Life• had artily left Mtegedi when the weather roke. Rain fell heavily, and has con - need for .several days. The natives prostrated themselves efore the Rain God, and a barbarous ustom, which has already gone on for ears will. continue so long as the tribe as a man left to carry it out. Following the ram great rejoicings ok place. These were still in pro- gress when .two police troopers from he Mount Darwin Police camp, forty iles• to the south, arrived. Several .terrible relics of the sacri- ce Were found, and in the end sixty- ree mac of the ' tribe were arrested n a'charg'e of murder. Some of the natives told the officers several; other previous sacrifices, s, the Paramount Chief,'; Chiswit}, hen brought to•the police• camp, de- ared that .within his own memory, venty-two natives had been burned this district to propitiate the spirit which is supposed to send tee rain.

Clayton. a Surnames and Their Origin FENNER 'Variations-Venner, Fenour. Racial Origin—EnglIsh and French. Source—Place names. Here is a family name which be- elongs in the classificationsofthose which' have been developed from place. names, the places from which the or- iginal:bearers had come, or with which they : were in -some miner connected,. and whiohi therefore, readily occurred , as distinctions• to those who wished to differentiate them.trent others bear- ing the same given names.. But in this case it is, not always easy, .to tell exactly from which place name, the family name ;has came, in the divictual case, without recourse to par- ticular family genealogy. In, many instances, it is known, the family name tonnes, from the name of a parish in Sussex. The name of this place anciently was "Penne," and in the earlier forms of the family name the spellings "Atte Penne" and "De refine" are found. one there is `also -re cord that in the days of. Henry VL' this name was changed to Fenner, and later in some instances to:Veneer and. Feenoar. But it also' appears that the name was brought over by the Nor of mans from the town of Feneu what is now Belgium. HAYDEN Variations—Heyden, Haydn, Haydyn, Racial Origin—English and Danish. h Source—A place name. Here is a family name which, though to not always of English origin, may pro- perly be placed in what we might call t the classification of "13ay names, of in which latter there are a great many. In this case, however, whietlier the 1 ff name, as such, is of Danish or English tb origin, it is founded upon the name of o a town in Denmark. This place was Hayden, the name `indicating a cults- of vated inclosure, and the town, as a might be expected fromthis earns, be- w ing a Very ancient one; cl •Suoly a family name as this, in the se form: of "Hayden," ;might as easily in spring up in England es in Denmark, forin the Middle Ages,' at the period efffamily name formation, there was• a good bit of commercial communication 'to between Denmark and England.
