The Exeter Advocate, 1924-6-26, Page 3., iS. KNOX. SUFFERED FOR OVER THREE YEARS *St. John Lady Was Nervous and Had Severe Indigestion That Caused Intense Pain. "It has been nearly two years since I took Tanlac, but I am more. grateful to the medicine than ever for I have felt just fine to this very day," recent- Iy,.d fared Mrs. Lena Knox, 51 Hie 1iaatreet, St. John, N.B. "For three years, indigestion and nervousness caused me such agony it beggars description. I was actually afraid to eat; at night I would lie awake nervous and sleepless for hours and finally became so weak and thin I was almost a shadow. ' "But Tanlac gave me a splendid ap- petite, calm nerves and a digestion " that is simply perfect. I sheep the whole night through and have gained such weight, strength and energy that I always feel at my best." Tanlac is for sale by all good drug- gists. Accept no substitute.

Surnames and Their Origin MacKENNA Varlationa — McKenna, MacKfnney, McKinney, Kinney. Racial Origin—irlsh. Source—Given names. There are two forms of this name, or rather two separate names in Gae- f'efle, from which the anglicized family names in this group have been de- rived.. It is unfortunate that in so many family names the Irish and the English forms should be so different as to cause confusion in the transla- tion of the name from one language into the other. Here is another case where you'd have some genealogical record to make sure whether your ancestors were members of that elan known as the "Maclonagh," which played a vivid part in the wars of Irish rebellion in the early seventeenth century, or of tbo ancient "Clann Cionaotha." The early records of this latter clan are clear. It was founded by a chief- tain named Cinaoth (the meaning of the given name being "without ser- vile work") about the year 260 A.D., ths establishing this family name as ail�t twice as old as the majority of H7nglisll family names. The strong- hold of this clan was in Tirowen. The name "Maclonaigh" is derived from the given name "Ionach," which means a "dirk." It is not certain at just what period the clan was estab- lished, but it was a branch of the an - tient clan of the O'Harts, and it was well established in Ardmore, County Waterford, as well as in Dundalk and in Truagh, County Monoghan. ELLWOOD Variation—Elwood. Racial Origin—English. Source—A IocaIIty, This family name, of English origin and development, is one of those which have been derived from place names. There are many places to -day in Eng- land named Ellwood. All of thele don't trace their history back to the medieval times, but, on the other hand it is fair to assume that there were also places called Ellwood in the medieval ages which since have been called by other names. So unless you can follow the indi- vidual family history definitely back to the first use of the name, you have little certainty from which particular Ellwood it has been derived. Ellwood was the sort of a place name which might be applied locally. It meant simply "Ellis' wood," "Ellis," "Elice" and "Helyas" being the medieval Eng- lish spellings of the biblical name of "Elijah" or "Elias." This, of course, was a Hebrew given name, popular with the medieval populations not only of England, but of other Chris- tian countries through its biblical as- sociations. The name means "The Lord God," or "The Strong Lord." BABY'S OWN TABLETS ALWAYS KEPT ON HAND Mrs. David Gagne, St. Godfrey, Que., writes:—"I have used Baby's Own Tablets for my three little ones and have found them such au excellent medicine that I always keep them on e hand and would strongly advise all Lather mothers to do the same thing." The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which quickly relieve consti- pation and indigestgon, break up colds and simple fevers and promote that healthful refreshing sleep which makes the baby thrive. They are sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 'A Poem You Ought to Know. How Do I Love Thee? The marriage of Robert Browning end Elizabeth Barrett was an ideal lentos. Before her marriage the poet- ess wrote a series of sonnets, which ;she gave to her husband after their wedding. Here is one of them: - 110W do I love tee? Let me count the ways. I Love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight Tex the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level at every day's Most quiet need, by sun and candle- light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; 'I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise; I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my child- hood's faith. \I lave thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,—I Love" thee with the breath, ;$miles, tears of all my life!—and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after 09.• death. Rediscovered Port on Persian Gulf. The site of Jerre, the mysterious port on the Persian Gulf mentioned 2,000 years ago by Ptolemy, geograph- er, and since lost sight sof, has been re- discovered in ruins by Captain R. E. Chee'seman, former private secretary to Sir Percy Cox, British High Com- messioner at Bagdad, who has just re- turned to oivilization after a trip into unknown Arabia. He reached the oasis of Jabrin in the Great South Desert, the first Euro- pean to penetrate there, and found it inhabited by a 'tribe living in Stone Age conditions. Captain Cheeseman's exploits were made possible by the re- lations of the British with Ibn Baud, Sultan of Nejd, whose guest he was.

There was one old man there who roused her special canape ssion. "Hoy +Long have you been here, my poor man?" she asked, "Twelve years." After several more questions she passed on, and her guide informed her that the old man was the medical superintendent. "I'm so sorry, doctor," she cried, hurrying back. "I'll never judge by appearmances again." Of TEA g and the choicest of Red Rose Teas h the ORANGE PEKOE QUALTTY veli a . d t Salt Springs Near Madrid Are Among Richest in World Probably one of the must character istic landscapes in Spain is that of the central steppes. With the exceptin of Hungary's "puzs•tas" there is noth- ink like the Spanish steppes in all Europe. They are vast tracts of terri- tory with a soil. that contains'exces- sive quantities of clay and lime, and which will not give growth' to vege. tattoo of any kind. The air and un- dersell are very dry. There are. no trees, and buehes are scarce. If the soil contains salt, the steppes are call- ed saline, and this name is applicable to most of the Spanish steppes terri- tory. Moisture is entirely lacking in the surface layer of the soil, but the 'un- dersoil often contains water, which, however, is not always drinkable. When calcium carbonate; plaster, c1aY and a white loam predominate in the sail the steppes are called "Calveros,', the bare lands. If red piasters, and clays and loam.s containing iron pre- dominate, they are commonly called the reddish steppes. Either kind has a few typical plants, and if .the same plant lives in both areas it is of differ- ent appearance. - Not far from Madrid are the most typical spoke of the central steppes. Tarancon is perhaps the' most interest- ing place in this area from the point of view of its flora, its climate and its soil. The barren hills near Tarancon on the road to Belinchon should be in- cluded in a national park, foe there are no other hills like them in the entire world. The vegetation of these hills con - slots of grasses, lilies, orchids, sun- flowers and cruciates. They make ex- cellent pasture for goats and sheep. Trees have been planted here, and it the soil is carefully tilled it loses its desolate character. Most remarkable, however, are the salt beds in this district. They are shallow patches or sheets of clayish soil, extending over wide areas. Water is conducted through the pits and by a simple process • of evaporation the salt is • obtained. It is mixed with small quantities of sulphates and mag- nesia. The salt springs of Belinchon are among the richest in the world. There are 200 grains of salt in each quart of water and about 30,000 quarts run through the springs every hour. if Swat the Adam and Eve Flies The. time to .swat flies Is right 'now Ww While they are :still in their garden, a Eden, and have not started out to :d n vhstate the nations, Flies are th greatest little progenitors of evil i all the world, Science say, "it eac egg of tbe common house -,fly shoal develop, and each of the larvae shoul find the food and temperature it need ell, with no loss and no destruction the people would eufiacate'under th plague of flies," ' A fly lays 150 eggs in a batch an is equal to six batches. It only take ten days from egg to adult. Begi with two flies May 1 and let them con dame their merry game right aloe through September, and mathematic fans can only express the figures i terms of German marks. It ru something like 1,096,181,249,310,720, 000,000,000,000 ' and since no one ca comprehend such figures it makes 1 tle difference what ciphers, you ad from that time forth. Swat the fly early and swat he thoroughly. We ,ray "her" becaus the female is. more deadly than th male but swat all kinds without both- ering about sex determination. bowsNow that the automobile has sup- planted hos in cities and towns, and the manure box is no longer a familiar object in every alley, it is a compara- tively easy thing to keep the town home free from flies. The country home needs equal immunity and it can be given. Look to your screens, both doors and windows. Make sure that no garbage is allowed to accumulate near the house. Keep the stables clean, and locate the manure piles as tar from the house as possible, The most efficient chemical to apply to manure piles to check the breeding of files is borax, which does not injure the fertilizing properties of the man- ure. As soon as the manure is re- moved from the barn sprinkle the bor- ax over it, using a fine sieve such as a flour sifter. Apply it around the outer edges of the pile as the maggots seem to prefer that location. Then throw a few gallons of water over the mass. f e - e. n • d d d es n g n ns n i� d i• e How Plants Are Pollinated. There are seven main agencies by which plants are pollinated, namely: Wind and gravity, water, insects., man, special devices and self -pollinating agencies or cleistogamous flowers. The wind merles the pollen and at length, it falls, due to gravity. Water, in the Dasa of water plants, carries the pollen from plant to plant. Insects are great pollen carriers. They pass from flower to flower in search of nectar, and carry away pollen upon their bodies, When they visit the next flower, some of the pollen is acciden- tally rubbed off, and thus the flower is pollinated. Man may bring about pol- lination by artificial means. He mere - ]y transfers the pollen from the plant where it is born to the plant where it is wanted. This is done, usually, in the greenhouses of upon special plants. In some plants there are special de- vices for the explosion of the pollen containers which throw the pollen out to other flowers. Self -pollinating or cleistogamous flowers are those that never open and must be self -pollinated. That is, the flower can fertilize itself and does not need pollen from another flour. GREEN TEA IN GREAT DEMAND. Twenty-five years ago, Green Tea was more popular than Black, but due to the heavy importation of poor quality Japan and China Green Teas, the demand fell off. Ceylon and India started producing Green Tea on a large scale only in recent years. They were of such fine quality and delicious flavor that Green Tea drinkers im- mediately recognized their superiority and demanded them in ever increas- ing quantities. Salada Tea Company is practically the sole importer of Cey- lon and India Green Teas in Canada. Of Course. Bug—"Hear you're going to give a dance." Hopper—"Well, yes, a hop!"

"I owe my present good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," says Mrs. Annie Treherne, Brandon, Man., who tells of her new found health as fol- lows:—"Some years ago I had an at- tack of pneumonia and it left me in a. terribly weakened and run-down state. I was unable to walk for a long time as I had practically lost the use of my legs, and had to he carried upstairs, for I had not the strength to go my- self. I became despondent over my condition for I had tried many reme- dies, which failed to help me. While in this wretched condition a lady friend urged me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trinl and I procured a sup- ply. After taking the pills for a while I could see that I was growing strong- er, and I gladly continued their use until I had fully regained my old-time health and strength. Now if I feel at all run down at any time I at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and they never fail me.. I can therefore warmly recommend them to others who may be run down."

Now is the time once mare, Dear and desired of old.. Spring at the sill at the door, Slender and young and ooid. Scarcely the heart can hold The joy long waited for, Now the magical word is told, And the young Spring's at the door. When all the folk are asleep, Save only the feathered 'folk, She goes by the hills of sheep, By the lambs and the grazing flock, Flowers in the fold of her cloak, And the grey dawn at the peep, The trunvpeter Daffodil woke The thrush- and blackbird asleep. Now in the East and the dark The heart trembles and sings, Sings with the linnet and lark New songs of immortal things. It wakes, it quivers, it springs., O heart, that was Wiuter-stark It rises it beats it has wings When the' Spring calls in the dark. --Katharine Tynan.

Deny yourself the pleasures youth would claim, Count every moment precious, never rest; I Let profit -getting be your only game; Be sure to banish pity from your breast; Chose eagerness for money as a goad To drive you daily to new enterprise; Don't pause to gather flowers beside the road, Be quick to see where your advant- age lies. Break briskly through whatever bars your way; If sentiment assails you, fling it back; Be sure to be some richer every day, Let greed be not among the things you lack; If you can get refinement as you rush It may not hurt your chance to be refined, But never hesitate to orcwd or crush; Have one intention always in your mind. Let love, if you must love, be nothing more Than incidental to the end in view, Or uses it as a key to Fortune's door, Adjust it to the purpose you pursue; Beware lest golden hours be vainly spent In setting tender loveliness to rhyme; See beauty only where a charm is lent By wealth enough to make it seem sublime. Be selfish when you must; be friend- less, cold; Let nothing keep you.from the goal you seek, Where boldness offers dividends, be bold, And miss no chance to pounce upon the weak; Become a driving power, a mighty force, Be firm, be strong, be keen, be piti- less; You'll miss the finer things of life of course, But you may win what people call success. —S.
