The Exeter Advocate, 1923-7-19, Page 7Surnames and Their Origin TUPPER Variation—Taubmann. Racial Origin—English and German. Source -An occupation. In the Middle Ages, when there was no complicated and automatic ma- chinery for the manufacture of such receptacles as barrels, tube cups and the like, these very necessary articles had to be made by hand, and no little skill was required ,en the part of the artisans who turned them out. As industry was organized in those days these men were skilled crafts- men, not incomparable with the gold and silver smiths of to -day, and their guilds or associations ranked high in the s'oc'ial and business life of the com- munities in which they lived. Just as the occupation. of "cupper," or r elver of cupe, has given us the modern familyname of Cooper (which, inoidiemtaily, has nothing to do with the modern trade of barrel making), so the "tubber," or maker of tubs,, has given us the modern family name of Tupper. Quite typical of the difference in the tendencies. of speech development in Germany and England is the variation in the forms of this same family name as found in the two countries. In botch' German. and English speech the tee mitnation's "er" and "man" were quite common. But the English tended to the more frequent use of the former, and the German of the latter. Other- wise the `English form might have been "Tupman" and the German "Tauber." It should be noted that this German name has nothing to do with the German word which was applied to the peculiarly birdlike airplanes' known as the "Tarbes:" CHATTERTON Variations — Chatsworth, Chetwood, Chatham, Chadsey, Racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon. Source—A place name. This is a group of family names which: has been derived from place names, which, though not the same, are all of the same character. The basic element in these names is the ancient Angle -Saxon word for cot- tage, or hut, which was "cyte" or "tete" (the pronunciation of the Ang- lo-Saxon "c" was always like "k," for, as a matter of fact there was no "k" in the Anglo-Saxon alphabet). This was the usual word denoting "hous" or "dwelling," the an'cent equivalent of the modern word "house" being re- served for buildings of a more preten- tious or public nature. The place name of Chatterton, or more properly "Chadderton," from which the family name was descrip- tively derived, was compounded from the Anglo-Saxon "cete•dcir-dun," and signified "the fortified dwelling in the wood." Chatham is the name of a town in Kent. It is compounded of "cyte" or "cete" and "ham,"- the latter signify- ing a village. Chatsworth ie a compound of "cete" and, "worth." At the period when family names were formed this word had come to mean any•farins'tead. But the compound of the place name had occurred . long before, when the word still preserved its literal meaning ,of a "warded" or inclosed place. Hence the place name meant not a farm cot- tage, but a cottage in an inclosure. Usually the inclosure was a wooded place. 0 Chatwood was a place name signify- ing a •cot'tage in the wood and Chadsey a dwelling near the sea. RED HOT JULY DAYS l D ON THE BABY July—the month of oppressive heat; red hot days • and sweltering nights; is extremely hard on little ones. Diarrhoea, dysentery, colic and cholera infantum carry off thousands of precious little lives every summer. The mother must be constantly on her guard to 'prevent these troubles or if they come on suddenly to fight them. No other medicine is of such aid to mothers during the hot summer as is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels and stomach, and an oc- cas'ional dose given to the well child will prevent summer compla,iift, -or if the trouble does, come on suddenly will banish. it. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

STORIES OF WELL- KNOWN PEOPLE Theatre Clerk, Actress, M.P. , First a theatre box-office attendant at Clapham; to -dray one of the three women M.P.'s, in England—such has been the remarkable eameer of Mrs. HiIl'ton Phillipson (better known. as Miss Mabel Russell, the actress'), re- cently returned as member for Ber- wick'with a majority of 6,142. "At the age of fifteen I was left an orphan with a little brother and sister to support." Mrs. PhiI'ipson told the writer. "Well, I was ducky; but I know what hard work means!" From the box-office she went on the stage, first in pantomime, later as a chorus girl at the Gaiety.

Marie under the foundations of an old house which has been demolished. It is believed to be a relic of the first attempt to mine and work iron iii the Lake Superior region in 1769. Proof of its age is in the fact that a huge birch tree was cut down over the spot in. 1888. The hand must have been made a century before that. It will be one of the exhibits during Discovery Week in August. The larger picture shows a glimpse of one of the ore yards to -day, In the Steel City, In contrast to the early iron work. net which can be switched on at will and a "doctored" ball. Miner as Artist. An interesting achievement is that of Rear -Admiral A, Gordon Smith, who, although he has never had lesson in painting, had anew; dbition of forty-two striking watercolor sketches of the sea and ships ' at Walker's Gal'Isry, London. The Admiral retired from the Navy in 1920 after a distinguished career. Another remarkable "bit" in the art world has been made by Mr. Vincent Evans, once a miner at Swansea Val- ley (South Wales), one of whose pic- tures was accepted for the Royal Academy. p A MOTHER'S HEALTH NEEDS CREAT CARE Care of Home and Children Of- ten Causes a Breakdown. The woman at home, deep in house- hold duties and the care of mother- hood, needs occasional help to keep her in good health. The demands up- on a mother's health are many and severe. Her own health trials and her children's welfare exact heavy tolls, while hurried meals, broken rest and much indoor living tend to weaken her constitution. No wonder that the wo- man at home is often indisposed through e kn g w a ass, headaches, back- aches and nervousness. Too many women have grown to accept these visitations as art pa , of the Iot of motherhood. But many and varied as her health troubles are, the cause is simple and relief at hand. When well, it is the woman's good blood that keeps her well; when ill she must make her blood rich to renew her health. The nursing mother more than any other woman in the world needs rich blood and plenty of it. There is one way to get this blood so necessary to perfect health, and that is through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs, W. T. Riley, R.R. No. 1, Apple. Hill, Ont., has proved the great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to mothers, and tells her story as fol- lows:—"Two years ago, after the birth of my boy, I became very weak and run down. Gradually I lost weight and energy until I was unable to do my housework. I could not sleep, my nerves would twitch and jump so that I arose in the morning with heavy aching limbs and head. Indigestion helped to make the misery worse, and my heart would palpitate -terribly. I doctored steadily for a year without getting better, but just dragged along feeling that I would never be well again. Butt one lucky day, on the ad- vice of a friend, I began treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills•. I have taken only six boxes, but I wall you could see the difference. I am now able to do my work, g!o about and enjoy myself. I feel so entirely like a new woman that I advise every weak or ailing woman to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I know they will get bene- ficial results:" If you are ailing, easily tired or de- pressed, it is a duty you owe yourself and your family to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. What this medi- cine has done for others it will surely do for you. You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medi- cine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wit. liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.' .,dam 'A Business Mistake.

House Mottoes. Formerly it was a custom in some parts of England to put mottoes over tIle entrances to houses. Many of these were very quaint. One of the best is over a door at Montacute, Somerset:— Thfough this wideopening gate None conies too early, none returns too late. On a porch at Beddington:— To those who cross the threshold of this door A hearty welcome, both to rich and poor; One favor only we would bid you grant, Feel you're at home, and ask for what you want. To this may be added the following appropriate Shakesperean motto, on a house at Ditching Road, near Brigh- i ton: Come hither — come hither — come' hither— Here stall you see no enemy but win- ter And rough weather.—"As You Like It." And on the door leading to the lib- rary: Open locks, whoever lenocirsi.—"Mac- beth." MONEY ORDERS. Dominion Express Money Orders are on sale in five thousand offices throughout Canada. Mixed Up.
