' Sesames and Mei' origin
FAIRBANKS
Variations --None.
Racial Origin—Middle English.
Source—Descriptive,geographical.
There are a tremendous number of
geographical family names which de-
veloped in England. '
Often a man would take the name
of the town or village in which he had
resleed, but for the most part this, oc-
curred only when he had ni••oved to an-
other place, or if he happened to be-
long to the nobility and was a mem-
ber of the family which exercised over -
lordship over that town.
More often, however, he would take
as his distinguishing name some par-
ticular part or piece of the country-
side or town in which he resided.
Fairbanks might be described as a
countryside family name. In t]ie Mid-
dle Ages, when it ceased to be a mere-
ly descriptive name of a single individ-
ual, and began to be passed down from
father to son, it meant just what it
would be taken to mean to -day, "fair
banks. Undoubtedly the original
Fairbanks dwelt at some riverside
spot in England locally described as
such. - More than likely he was a farm-
er,
This family name, strictly speaking,
has no variations, being a straight
combination of two words which have
come down from the Middle Ages with
little or no change in spelling. There
are, however, a host of names which
originated in England and consist of
the combination .of the word "fair"
with other wards.
Fairbanks, though, widely known, is
net an exceptionally common name.
Yet it occurs often enough to warrant
the assumption that it developed in-
depen:lently in several different places
and probably in various periods.
PICKFORD
Variaticns—None.
Racial Origin --Middle English.
Source—Descriptive, geographical.
Pickford, strangely enough, is a
family name whose development paral-
lels that of Fairbanks from almost
every viewpoint.
It originated in England in the Mid-
dle Ages,
id-dleAges, and, like Fairbanks, it is
geographicaliy descriptive and com-
posed of two words which have offered
little opportunity to change through
the 600 or 700 years which have
,elapsed since it became a family name.
At first glance you might be led to
believe that the fret syllable of the
name was derived from a weapon or
iinpiernent, "pike" or "pick." This is
not the case, however, Indeed, there
seem to bevery few family names
which have developed from any con-
nection with this weapon of the Mid-
dle Ages, as familiar to the hien-at-
arms of those days as thee bayonet is
to the modern soldier, though many
have developed from the names of
other weapons.
The ending of the name, of coura•e•,
gives the clue. Pickford is simply a
contraction of the combination "pike -
ford," the pike being a well-known
species of fish, which presumably was
plentiful in one or more rivers at spats
where fords existed. The original
Pickfords undoubtedly were families
which dwelt in the countryside near
such spots•.
But this does not prove that all Pick-
feeds
ickfords actually are descended from the
ancient country people of England.
Names are often adopted, and doubt-
less have been through past centuries,
in much the same manner that the
most famous Pickford of the world
adopted hers. Mary's real name is
Gladys Smith.
CHILDHOOD CONSTIPATION
Constipated children can find prompt
relief through the use of Baby's Own
Tablets. The Tablets are a mild but
thorough laxative which never fail to
regulate the bowels and stomach, thus
driving cut constipation and indiges-
tion; colds and simple fevers. Con-
cerning them Mrs. Gaspard Daigle, De-,
Main, Qne,, writes: "Baby's Own Tab-
lets have been of great benefit to my
little boy, who was suffering from con-
stipation and indigestion. They quick-
ly relieved him and now he is in the
best of health." The Tablets are sold
by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c
a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co„ Brockville, Ont.
Don'ts for Salesmen.
Salesmen differ in ability, in train-
ing and in method, but all of them
who succeed pay almost as much at-
tention to the "don'ts" as to the "dos"
of salesmanship. Here are the
"don'ts" of a famous sales organiza-
tion:
1. Don't fail to seat the "prospect"
properly.
2. Don't point your finger or pencil
at him.
3. Dant sit awkwardly on your
chair.
4. Den't have a calendar on the wall.
It may remind him of an appointment
or a note falling due.
b. Don't put your feet on his chair.
6. Don't smoke.
7. Don't slap him on the knee or
poke him Veith your finger.
S. Don't chew gum'or tobacco.
9, Don't tell funny stories
10. Don't talk fast; go easy and see
that the "prospect" understands what
you say and

THE QUALITY OF BULK
TEA
The quality of Bulk Tea is always
unreliable for several reasons. In the
first place, being unlabelled its origin
is unknown and there is no one who
has any particular responsibility for
its goodness. In the second place, it is
exposed to the air and therefore very
quickly loses its flavour and freshness.
Even if it were as good as "SALADA"
in the first place, it would rapidly de-
teriorate and in any case it would be

A GOOD SNUG G TONIC
One That Will Quickly Improve
Your Health.
With the passing of winter many.
people feel weak, depressed and easily
tired. No particular disease, but the
system lacks tone, You find yourself
tired, low-spirited, unable to get sound
sleep at night. All this is the result of
closer in -floor confinement of the win-
ter months, aid shows that the blood
has become thin and watery. New en-
riched blood is what you need to put
you right, and there is no other medi-
cine can give you this new blood as
surely and as speedily as Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. This new blood goes
to every part of the body and quickly
improves the general health. The di-
gestion is toned up, you have a better
appetite, nerves are strengthened and.
sleep is refreshing. The value of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills when the system
is run down is shown by the experi-
ence of bars. Peter Arendt, Raven -
scrag, Sask., who says :—"I was in a
badly run-down condition, and pros-
trated with nervousness. I did not
sleep at night, and grew so weak that
when I tried to move about I would be
overcome with dizziness. I heard
about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and got
a supply. After I had taken a few
boxes I began to feel better. Con-
tinuing the use ofi these pills my appe-
tite improved, I slept better at night,
and. I was soon as well as. ever I had:
been. I have ,also given Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills to my daughter, aged four-
teen, with the best of results. I de-
sire in this way to express my thanks
for the great benefit I have found
through the use of these pills, and to
recommend them to others in need of
a blood -building medicine."
You can get these pills through any
clealer in medicine, or by mail, at 50
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
Motherhood.
You are chatting together at the end
of the day,
When laddie boy talks of his lessons
and play;
He snuggles up close to your feet, and
he leans
His head on your knees, when curly
head gleans
All manner of wisdom (to him you are
wise!)
"And what do you think, mother?" lad-
die boy cries.
He talks: of his school, he's so proud
of its name,
He mentions the o;id boys and their
wonderful fame;
He tells you of something he "can't
quite make out,"
A bit of fife's problems he's puzzled
about;
He Io•oks in your face with belief in
his eyes;
"Now, what do you think, mother?"
laddie boy cries..
And you—you must give him the high-
est and best
Of all that is in you; for mothers' are
blest
With grand intuition ,of right and of
wrong,
Of all that is noble and honest and
strong,
And in the long after, when you have
' grown grey,
And laddie boy's' just at the noon et
his day,
In all his life's greatness you 'vi1l.sti l
be a link

Time is to youth what gold Is to a
spendthrift, 'There semis so much
of it, the temptation is to Slug it prodi-
cally in a train of folly or at the booths
of Vanity Fair_ There has not come
the sober sense of maturing years, that
bids eno take this lane forward look,
to calculate, to be. methodical. The
young amltion. images ,itself as in-
evitably rising to the sun -crowned
heights and dues not realize the dis-
cipline and self-denial that must be the
way of life for throne who would suc-
ceed.
Fortunate are they who are -advised
in life's' morning, before high noon or
eventide, that the night cometh when
no mean can work and that every mo-
ment counts before the eun goes down,
It is a world which, for all its laws
and ofilcers, gives each of us an illimit-
able range of choices. We are what
we decide to be. No circumstances
can defeat us; what is within is the
secret of conquest or overthrow. "The
fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our
stars, but in ourselves, that we are un-
derlings,"
The old would pass on their experi-
ence to their juniors if they could; and
they are prone to envy those who have
the unspoiled years outstretched be-
fore them as a held after a snowfall
lies immaculately white and fair. "If
youth knew—if age could!"' laments
the oid French saying. It will not take
effect if the sagacity of the eiders
merely sermonizes, like Poiseuille, to
those who still have many years to
spend. Youth, headstrong and im-
patient, would learn for itself that fire
burns and the deep waters drown.
Who, then, shall teach those that do
not care to learn?, The inexorable
schoolmaster is experience.
The word fits when we speak of
"spending" our lives; and well it is for
us if, after the spending, there is gain,
not lose. Happy are they who, having
built a lifetime into the purpose we
were set here to fulfill, have no vain
regrets when it is tco late to choose
a different investment of the few pre-
cious mortal years.

Years ago I began to wonder at the
great number of my own friends and
neighbors who were always ailing,
complaining and doctoring, without
aver seeming to get any better. Both
working men and their wives were
frequently all tired out in the evening,
and. a great many were weak, nervous
and run-down. One bad pains in the
back end thought he had kidney
trouble. Another had pains around the
heart, palpitations and dizziness, and
was sure he was suffering from heart
disease. Still others had severe head-
aches, floating spots before the eyes, ;
tender spots along the spine and a ,
