The Exeter Advocate, 1924-7-31, Page 3�T Uig �,YlI?TO1IS bf I iP0 1'I`ISllE BLOO c Shaw in Pale Faces, Tired Feel- ing and Breathlessness. People who are pale, languid, with palpitation of the heart and shortness of breath at slight exertion are suffer- ing from thin, impure blood. If they have the resolution to take the right remedy and stick to it, they will find new health and strength. The remedy that can always be relied upon is Dr. Wil,}„ fa' Pink Pills. With every dose they improve and invigorate the blood, and this new blood means health and strength. Mrs. A. Griffiths, Pierson, Man., is one of the many thousands who have proved the value of these pills. She says:—"I was so badly run down in health that I was almost bedfast. The least exertion would leave me breathless. I suffered from headaches and backaches and had no appetite. I could only drag about the house and found even light housework almost impossible. I tried several remedies but they did not do me a particle of good. Then a friend came for a visit and she urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I had finished the second box I could feel that they were helping me.. By the time I had taken four boxes more I was a well woman and every symp- tom of my trouble had disappeared. It would not be possible for me to say too much in favor of this medicine, and I always recommend it to run- down people, and have seen it prove just as satisfactory in other cases." If you are weak and run down you can begin getting new strength to- . -day by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Of unusual holidays few can have occasioned more interest than that of a retired. American brewer now .visit - !lig London on his way to Greenland. At his home in Milwaukee he has a globe of the earth's surface. Whcn his annual holiday is due he takes a hat- pin and, .giving the globe a spin, sticks the pin into it. Where the pin sticks, there the brewer goes! Last year the pin indicated the Vale of Cashmere, in India, whither the bi ewer `made his way. The previous year he found himself obliged to visit termany, while the year before that a Wan not fifty miles from his home was the holiday resort thus, chosen. He has visited in this way places as far apart as Christiania and Mel- bourne, Montreal and Cornwall, and Stockholm and Cairo. When the pin sticks into the ocean the originator of thin decidedly novel plan allows him- self a second try. Broadcasting a Pin -fall. A pin was dropped on a desk by Dr. Gano Dunn in the oourse of his ad- dress at the dedication of the new building of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council in Washington. That pin -fall was perhaps• the most significant and widely heard of any in history. Without being warned to silence, every person in the high - domed, wide -winged hall heard the pin. as it struck the woodwork. Thousands of wireless listeners hundreds of miles away, also heard. Specially designed artificicai stone walls made the sound clear, distinct, and without those hollow echoes which characterize old (high -vaulted build- ings.. That pin -fall sounded an en- gineering triumph in the long -neglect- ed science of acoustics. Minard's Liniment .for Rheumatism. Politeness.

Treaty Granting Independ- ence is Signed, but British, Miist Shape People Into a Nation. By a narrow margin Irak signed the Anglo -Irak Treaty—the only pos.sible instrument assuring her eventual in- dependence—and the British will con- tinue in the rather thankless task of shaping an irresponsible and inexperi- enced people into a nation, says a Bagdad despatch. Great Britain having accepted the mandate of Irak, under the League of Nations directly after the war, eine gated herself, accepted a trust, and she intends, if possible, to bear with this trust to the end. Since 1917 Great Britain has done more with Irak than any other nation could pos- sibly have done, but even so has suc- ceeded only in setting up a more or less, fallible monarchy, presided over by an Arab figurehead, and liable at any time to be thrown, without for- eign guidance, into internal anarchy. Great Britain has long since realized that as an investment Irak is thor- oughly bad, and that the pounds (6,- 000,000) which she annually pours in- to this. investment, could be much bet ter put to use elsewhere. She has done all in her power to mould this disjointed section into a nation, but one eannot make a durable crock of sand and water, and at is plain that the Iraki, at least at this stage of their development, are little better than sand and water. And since in addition to this there has been an appreciable amount of irritation caused by the pet- tiness of some Irak officials, the Bri- tish are quite prepared to Leave the country. But they do not wish to leave it in its present vulnerable and unstable condition; it would be a very severe reflection on their ability and wisdom. It thus became very evident that a departure of some sort was necessary. Tenor of the Treaty. The result was, the negotiation of a treaty with a protocol and subsidiary agreements• following in its wake. The much-discussed Anglo -Irak treaty sets certain stipulations• for the future which will give the Irak investment less of a failure ccomplected aspect, and which grants to the British cer- tain financial and military rights that will allow them to carry on in the country for another four years and es- tablish the Irak Government as a per- manent institution. But some Iraki contend that the treaty is severe; that it wrests from them pertain inviolate rights, imposes upon them restrictions which will pair growth and retard them in their struggle for independence; lays upon them rigid financial demands and ob- ligations --in short, is an instrument which will preclude realization of their ideal. In their stigmatism and youth they are not aware that the clauses of the treaty, generally speaking, -point toward their eventual benefit, and that without the protection and guidance it affords they will be left a prey to in- vasion. Charge British With imperialism. Since the acceptance of the mandate the efforts of the British have been highly favored with altruism, but this fact in no way checks the bitterness. of excitable tongues., for the British have been accused of ;having imperial- istic designs in their policies concern- ing Irsak. When one stops to consider that Great Britain's policies are de- termined not by individual- and iso- lated countries but by world-wide in- terests, and it is understood that the occupancy of Irak by the British has been an exception to this rule, and that by her connections with Irak she injures her more universal interests, it is beyond reason to accuse her of im- perialistic motives. Situation at Present., Now that the treaty is ratified by the constituent assembly the Iraki have made their first move in the di- rection of an eventual independence. The British will stand by them. for an- other four years, will protect them and their interests. will shape them for membership in the League of Nations, will develop their country and will then, at the end of the stipulated period, leave the management of the country entirely to the iraki and wish them Godspeed,. 'A rejection of the treaty would assuredly have meant the' downfall of Irak and than an even- tual invasionbyoutside Powers have been d•eter•mined only by the amount of ambition and avarice of such na- tions as' Turkey and Persia and the less friendly tribes of Arabia, except for the possibility of international league.

The spring was late in coming, The flowers were very shy, When in my Devon garden fair The sweet West Wind swept by. She dropped some teare in Passing, What magic in them lay That on the wall japonica Leapt forth in crimson spray?

A swan on the river is sailing; I see her drift down to the bay! A convoy, she, unfailing To craft that know not the way! Oh, white the sails that are going To an isle in the waters below; And golden the paddles rowing In the calm of the stream's still flow! A harbor there is in the rushes, A harbor all safe and sure With scarcely a bough that brushes The pool to a rippling lure! Then meadows there are out-s$reading Where tufts of sea -rice grow; And convoy heading, heading Her fleet of yellow and snow! —Leslie Clare Manchester. Father's Responsibility. Under the Ontario Act requiring fathers to maintain children born out of wedlock the sum of $67,000 was col- lected last year in cash, and addition- al amounts due would bring the sum up to well over $100,000. Steps are taken to ensure 'the health and best welfare of infants and -to this end ad- vice and assistance is given to moth- ers. This Act will, it is expected, pre- vent a great deal' of neglect and aban- donment of infants and prove a deter- rent to men who are guilty of this great wrong to young women Mr. J. J.

Progressin Mnlning in. Y. OA . Territory. The 'report of the. Mining Recorder of the Yukon Territory for the calendar year 1923 contains some interesting in formation regarding progress . there. The statistics in regard to claims are as follows: Placer Mining, grants '5; renewals,. 5; relocations, 5. Quartz Mining, grants, 121; renew- als, 1,052; claims in good standing, 1,312. Iu connection with the claims in good standing it is interesting to note that as a full quartz claim is over 50 acres in extent these claims represent an area of approximately 65,000. acres, or over 100 .square miles. The total amount of ore shipped from Mayo Landing in the summer of 1923 was 8,762% tons. Since no ore 1s bagged that assays less than 200 ounces an silver to the ton, this out- put represents a large revenue. Of numerous new veins uncovered last year the most promising are those of the Lake Group where interested parties combined in diverting a large flow of water with the result that the overburden was washed in several places to a depth of thirty feet, ex- posing veins of silver ore fromwhich assays have been obtained sufficient to warrant the owners arranging for the neccessary equipment and supplies to carry on additional exploratory work. The Keno Hill Mining Company ceased operations on Keno Hill and transferred its equipment to the Friendship Group adjoining the Tread- well Yukon Company property on the south. This company has built a per- manent camp and carried out a con- siderable amount of exploratory work to date. It employs an average of thirty-three men. The Treadwell Company employs an average of eighty-one men for its work inclusive of the work of the wood camp. It carried on extensively dur- ing the past year and erected a large new office and warehouse and has several ten -ton caterpillars hauling ore to the landing. In addition to the number of men employed by the different companies in both quartz and placer mines, there were about 150 prospecting and work- ing their own ground. There have been no serious accidents, no labor troubles and very little sickness. A new placer strike was made at the mouth of Gull creek, as a result of which over twenty claims were staked. 0 SUMMER HEAT HARD ON BABY No season of the year is so danger- ous to the life of little ones as is the summer. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby may be beyond all human help before the. mother real- izes he is ill. Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera infantum, dysentry and colic are most prevalent. Any one of these troubles may prove deadly if not promptly treated. Dur- ing the summer the mothers' best friend is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach and keep baby healthy.

Surnames and Their Origin PINKERTON Racial Origin—Norman French. Source—A locality. Perhaps you have wondered about this family name. It is misleading. In spite of yourself you keep associat- ing it in your mind with the -word "pink," but it has no con'neotien with this word at all. Again it is a natural, but as it hap- pens, erroneous• assumption that the ending 'ton" reveals it as one of those Purely Anglo-Saxon place names com- pounded of the word 'which has given us our modern word "town" and which is to be found in the ending of so many English place names:.. The name, however, is a splendid example of the way in which a name developed in one language can be in- fluenced entirely out of its• original form by another tongue. The, original form of this family name -was "De Pontcardon," Pontcard- on being a place name in Normandy. It was of courile first borne by men, probably in the ranks of the, Con- queror's army, who came from that lo- cality. But in the course of time its pronunciation was a bit slurred, and men, forgetting that it was a French name, 'began 'to spell it as it was pronounced. Hence dPinkertOn. LAWLOP.. Variation—La to r. Racial Origin—Irish. Source—A given name. It would take you a good many guesses to arrive at the Gaelic spell- ing of this old Irish clan name which has become with usa not uncommon family name. It is "O'Leathlabhair." But between consonant combinations which, in the Gaelic, neutralize each other into sil- ence, and others which are but faintly enunciated; and dipthongs which have entirely different sounds from those we would give them in English, this rather difficult looking name resolves itself into the sound of "O'Lawlor." And in this phonetic spelling it was taken over into English. "Leathlabhar" was an ancient Irish given name compounded from the words for "hall" and 'speaker," as well 'as can be 'ascertained, for, of course, .as a given name it far antedated the period (in about the tenth century) when the clan name was formed. • The chieftain of this. name 'who foundet the clan belonged to the still more ancient line of the O'Harts, and unquestionably the'bulk of his follow- ers at lrst were more or less distant ablations and members of the same clan.

My hands and feet seem so big, and I can's talk, and if I walk into a room I'm sure to fall over something. How can I ever get over it?" The doctor looked quizzically at the raw, half -developed boy before him. "When I was your age," he said slow- ly, "I was about as you are, 'only worse. I was poorer, bigger, slower in school and more awkward. It was real tor- ture for me to meet people, especially women and girls. "One day as I was going downtown barefoot I saw coming towards me two girls whom I knew by sight; they were well dressed and jolly. I thought of skipping down a side street, but I was in the middfle of a long block and had to face them. Suddenly I noticed a cow in one of the side yards. Per- haps if I could seem to be driving her, my big hands and feet wouldn't show. Gathering a handful of pebbles and calling to her to 'huy-huy, boss!' I started her off. "The girls came to where I was vigorously driving the animal from her chosen pasture. Then a clear, loud treble voice called from the house: "'You, boy, what are you doing with my father's cow?' "You can imagine the rest. I had made a ridiculous spectacle of myself. In my confusion I stepped into a patch. of sand burs with my bare feet. The pain made me wince; I lost my bal- ance and fell into a muddy ditch. I can still hear those girls laugh! "I hid out in the haymow for two days to think it over. When I came back I told my mother that I had been visiting, and she wisely professed to believe it. As a matter of fact I had visited myself. I reasoned that my fears of other people were groundless and foolish, and that I had been silly to imagine that the whole world was watching me. The roads and all the world were free to everyone, and I re- solved to use then without fear. "It was a fight of course, but I won. And I learned that people are not to be feared or avoided but to be loved and enjoyed. I'm not lonesome any more; you see that everyone calls me doc and how we all enjoy it. Why not live as you go along?" "Why, doctor, I suppose that 1—But there, I'm still trying to believe that I'm different from everyone else. I'in not! I'm going to have friends as other people have!" And with chin up and eyes shining the boy started off to seek the great adventure of friendship. — Youth's Companion. --er Origin of Mystic Swastika Baffles Research. Every now and then the origin of the swastika crops up in connection with the huge black hooked cross sign displayed on the banners of national- ist organizations of more than usual- ly adamant tendency, says a Berlin despatch. "Death to Jews" is the signification in German party politi- cal circles. The Danish expedition in Palestine, under the leadership of Gunnar Sommerfeld, has discovered in Capernaum, in the Synagogue of Tell - Hun, a handsome frieze decorating one part of the ruins which shows a swastika running ribbonwise along the wall.

Did He Attend the. Party? No, He Went to Bed! Here is a laughable story of an ab• sentminded man—no, not a college professor this time, but a young fel- dow 1n his early twenties- He had, been invited to attend a leap -year party and—courageous youth!—had, accepted. The young lady who was tq be his escort called for him at the ap- pointed hour and was informed that he was dressing. (Men are always late, aren't they?) She waited for some time, but the young man did not appear. At last his mother went up to his room to hurry hilt, and gracious! she found him in bed! While he was re- moving his everyday clothes his mind had wandered to some other matter., and habit had done the rest. Our contributor who sends us the story adds that, if the young lady who called had been "his own particular young lady," he might not have for- gotten all about her. Perhaps not. As it was, perhaps, he was more cautious than absent-minded. Remember, it was a leap -year party! THEY TELL THEIR NEIGHBORS Women Tell Each Other How Thep Were Helped by Lydia E.
