The Exeter Advocate, 1923-11-1, Page 31 niiIN IN THE JOINTS • Is An Indication That the Blood is Thin and Watery. The first sign of rheumatism is fre- , quently a pain and swellin& of one of the joints. It this is not treated • through the blood, which is the seat of the disease, the poison spreads, af- fecting other joints and tissues—some- a times rheumatism attacks the heart 1 • and is fatal. A remedy that has corrected many cases of rheumatism is Dr. Williams' Pink Ping. These pills enrich and purify the blood So that the rKiisonous rheumatic matter is driven .out of the system as nature intended. Miss Ger- tie Deane, Washago, Ont., was attack- ed with rheumatism and found relief through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. she says:—"About a year ago I was at- tacked by rheumatism and for two weeks was 'confined to my bed. The trouble was •so painful, affecting the joints of my limbs so that I could not atand alone. Mother had a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the house and •thought they might help me. I began taking them, and when I had taken these pills got a further supply, with the result that the rheurnatiam van- ished and I was a well girl. I may add that my mother and two a my sisters have also used the pills for various ail- ments with equal success, and now we are never without them in the housed' If you are suffering from any con- dition due to poor, watery blood, or weak nerves, begin taking Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills now, and note how your strength and health will improve. You can get these pills through any dealer in raedlcine, or by mail, at 50 cents a. box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Cosmopolitan School.

"Old Heads on Young Should -I ers" is the Latest Dream of' the Scientist. Imagine Einstein, Marconi, Edison, and Sia Oliver Loage being able to hand down their genius to their child- ren as easily as they, hand down their estates! Picture a world in which Our descendants will begin almost where we left off. That this is not an idle dream has been Made abundantly clear by cer- tain experiments an animals carried Out by Professor Paul Kammerer, a biologist of the University of Vienna, and ,a lifelong friend of Steinacia. the originator of the "gland" cure. Kam- merer demonstrated his theory before British scientists at Cambridge. Plac- ing before them a specimen of the sightless newt, he said that he had de- veloped the creature's eyes. During thousands of yea'rs' exist- ence in deep, gloomy caverns, its an- cestors had not only lost the power of sight, but even the eyes themselves had shrunk to mere rudimentary or- gans beneath the skin. Professor Kammerer took one of these eyeless newts at birth and expoted it to red light for five years. The water in which the newt lived was continually illuminated with red light, which was used because it was found that day- light merely caused a dark pigment to form in the skin covering the eyes. Several generations at newts were subjected to the red light until one group finally appeared witi1. eyes that pushad through the head. The des- cendants of this group also had eyes, The professor then showed Salamand- ers whose skies had °banged color as a result of living on a background dif- ferent from that to which. they had been accustomed. He said the change was permanent and hereditary. He then exhibited a land -dwelling toad, having the horny pads of the water - toad, a wonder which the professor had accomplished after a series of ex- periments. These demonstrations were follow- ed by speculations as to the possibility of applying the results achieved on lower animals to human beings, so that the good qualities a man culti- vated in his own lifetime. could be passed on to his children as "In- stincts." Kammerer himself says that further research along the lines of his experi- Surnames ad Their Origin URQUHART Racial Origin—Scottish. Source—A locality. Urquhart was the name of one of the most important and influential, though one of the smallest of the clans of the Scottish Highlands. But though the clan was pure Gas- -, lic, of that same stock which crossed over from Ireland toward the Close of those migrations which are respons- ible for most of the blood of the High- lands to -day, the elan, name was not formed from the given name of a chieftain, In Ireland the clan names were al- most without exception derived from the names of the chieftains who first elevated their following to the dignity of clanship; mostly from their given names, bat at times froin their nick- names or sobriquets. In Scotland the exceptions are more numerous, and that of the Urquharts is one. Though the "Clann Urachadian," as It is styled in the Gaelic tongue is • adnaittedly an old one, there is some vagueness as to its ea,rly history, but it appears to have been closely con- nected with the clans MacKay and Forbes. The name of Urquhart does not appear in the historical records as having been adopted by the clan until about 1300 A.D., at which time the chief of the clan was also the com- mander of a castle of that name, and the tradition goes that the clan name was adopted from the tame of the castle. a:0 ments on aalmals "will soon leaddicoverto al Long -Di Y Y stance Man -Hunts. will be enabled ,to grasp in a: few More than 700 miles by dog team 4 Wag the trip made recently by Con- montb.s 'what it has taken us a lifetime 3 to learn; thea will execute easily what we have accomplished with great ef- fort; and withstand wounds that in- jured us almost to the paint of deatlia Where we sought • they will find.

Source—Localities. Here is a family name originnally descriptive of the bearer by reference to the place from which he had come. There are, however, different mean- ings to the two -place names from which the family name is variously derived, One of these is the name of a com- munity in Chester, England. It is Bulkeley. It may also at various times have been a countryside name for many localities in different sec- tions of England. The "ley," in the. speech of the medieval English, often meant an inclosed place or pasture for animals, and Buckley was originally simply a "bullock -ley." This, however, does not explain cer- tain old forms of the family name which are to be found in the medieval records, "de Bokele" and "de Buckey," which could not in so short a period have been derived from "Bulkeley." They represent rather the local des- tription of pastures or inclosures for Buckdeer. In both cases the family name orig- inally bore the prefix "de," meaning "of," and clearly indicating the orig- inal descriptive nature of the surname. As was the rule, these prefixes in the vast majority of cases were dropped as meaningless after a generation or two; using the name, made it descrip- tive rather of the bearer himself than the place from which he had come.

The Kelgis (inlaabitants of the re- gion) have, said the lecturer, some pe- culiar customs'. The men spend most of their time playing the goat game, a sort of horseback football, with the inflated skin of a headless goat for a ball. Attending marriage and funeral feasts is another favorite occupation. Most of the laborious work is left to the women, and they do it obediently, though women are so scarce that a father can demand a very heavy price for a daughter's hand. The stronger and more capable that hand le, the higher its value in the marriage mar- ket. When a Kelge dies, he bequeaths no money to his relatives, but gives in- structions for a funeral feast that will cost all the wealth of which he is pos. sesserl. $4.60 Profit From Each Hen. By S. W. Knife. A short time ago an article appeared In the "Pickering News" stating that "E. W. Ruddy, who has a country re- sidence there, cleared $4,600 profit from 1,000 hens for the preceding twelve months," and employed all help required to look after them. This cer- tainly shows there is money to be made from hens. How? By proper feeding, good care and attention. Poultry raisingn is as much a business as any other business and to make a success one must understand what he is -doing and why. The winter is not the natural laying season, 'therefore to get good egg pro- duction, •When prices are high, the hens must be fed with thai object al- ways in view. They need exercise to keep the body warm,'which should be provided by making them work (scratch) for every grain of feed. The feed should be stimulating and body- building, such as wheat and corn, say 40% Of each, making up the other 20% with Western oats, buckwheat, peas, etc. It is best just to feed enough at a time so as to keep the bird always ready for the next meal. A lot has been said for and against "hot mash." Mr. Ruddy fed hot mash as a mid-day meal all through the win- ter. In the average home there is usually a considerable amount of table scrap which can, profitably be utilized, mixing it along with the. lay- ing mash and fed in a "crumbly" con- dition, not sloppy. Feed at mid-day and just enough; if you feed toe much the birds will go to roast, which Is not desirable. Why not feed hot mash in the morning? Because. birds 'will easily fill their "crops," stand around! and get chilled—„whoreas grain first thing makes them, active and keeps I Ihem'Warin.

Brussels appears to be the only city which has a well -organized umbrella - borrowing bureau. The annual sub- scription is low, but if every umbrella user were to join such a society, its in- come would be enormous, The idea is rather similar to that in force at the British Museum, National Gallery, and other public institutions, where you are required to deposit your "gamp" before being allowed to go round the galleries. You get a ticket of metal or a bone disc, which will redeem. your umbrella at any time; only in the case of the umbrella exchange, the umbrella is not your own but the property of the society. Each member on paying his sub- scription, receives a token, usually of metal stamped with an index number, which he carries in his pocket instead of an. numbrella in his hand. When caught by the rain, all he has to da is to go to one of the society's agencies, which are tobacco shops, restaurants, and big stores, and hand over the tok- en, to be immediately provided with an umbrella. When the rain ceases the borrower deposits his umbrella in the next agency he happens to pass, and in ex- change receives another counter. --1 Aiming high isn't mil& use if you have no ammunition.
