The Exeter Advocate, 1924-9-18, Page 7yr is EA Isgoodtee and extra good is the ORANGE PEKOE QUALITY Surnames and. Their Origin HUTTON Racial Origin—English. Source ---A locality, also a character- letio. This is a fancily name, which, if one Judged it by one of its meanings alone ould be classified as a variation of the names Houghton and Haughton, for in a large number of cases it is de- rived from a place name which means "high town." Both the place and the name, however (which is Hutton), have an identity distinct from those concerned in the origin of the names Hoghton and Haughton. But there is another derivation of the family name, from the old Norman- French word "hutain," meaning "proud." The mention of such char- acteristics as this in connection with a man's name with the sante given name, was quite common In the middle ages. At that period, just prior to the development of family names and co- incident with it, populations were in- creasing so rapiddy, and shifting as well, and the same given names were *replied to so many persons, that some • further method of differentiation, such as mention of the place whence a man had come, or of some personal char- acteristic of his, was the rule rather than the exception. Those who can trace their ancestry back to a form of the name prefixed either by "de" or "le" will have no dif- ficulty in determining whether their family names developed from the place name or the nickname. The "de" indicates the former and the "le" the latter. MUNSON. Variations -Monson, Manson. Racial ,,Origln-English, also Scottish. Source—Given names. Munson is a family name of quite simple and regular origin, but you'd hardly guess, the given name from which it conies unless you were fa- miliar with the manner in which the English of the Middle Ages abbrevi- ated their given names. Many of the shortened forms of given names were the same as those we use today, such as Dick for Richard, Har- ry for Henry, Ed.. for Edward, Edgar or Edmond, and so an. But there was also a method of using other syllables of a name than the first for purposes of abbreviation and variation. •This' has virtually disappeared among Eng- lish-speaking peoples, though it re- mains among the Germans, among whom Hans for John (from Johannes) is widespread. In medieval England "Munn," "Mun" and "Mon" were regular, variations of Edmond and Edmund, and the simple addition of the ending 'son" to one or the other of these forms has given us the patronymics Munson, Monson and in some cases, through further varia- tion, Manson Manson, however, is more likely to be of Scottish origin, a development of "Magnus -son." This is the name of one'of the septs or branebee of the Clan Gunn, that clan which rose to pro- minence in the fifteenth century as the followers of George Gunn, the "Crown= er" or Coroner, a :historic figure in Scottish history, Cautious Horse. Harris prided himself on a thorough knowledge of horse.s and their habits, and so he was interested when, on a visit to the country, he saw a farmer having some trouble with his mount. Ii would start, amble along slowly fe short distance and then stop. Then the farmer wouId have great dif- ficulty in getting it started again. Finally Harris approached the farmer and asked kindly: "Is, your horse sick?" "Not as I know of," was the short reply. Is he balky?" "No. But he's so afraid I'll say 'Whoa!' and he won't hear me that he• stops every once in a while to listen." Patients did better in tents than in any other accommodation—this is one of the lessons of the Great War. Was Not Making Out. Aunt—"How are you making out, Dot? Having a good time?"

The scarcity of liquid capital is quite as acute in the shoe industry as itis in any branch of German trade. A novel way was sought out of the dilemma. Instead of paying the men off in marks, they gave them each a pair of shoes as part payment of their wages. An hour later virtually the whole shoe working population had been transformed into a sales aggregation. From store to store wandered heads of families, trying to dispose of their pair of shoes in return for things to`° eat. • EFFICIENCY IMPAIRED Why Many Men and Women Are Badly Handicapped. When you are so run down in health that it impairs the efficiency of your work as well as your power to enjoy your leisure hours, or obtain rest, it is time you looked to the cause. If you do not, a serious breakdown is almost. sure to result sooner or later. In near- ly all cases this ,condition, which doc toes usually describe as general debility, is due to poor blood—blood that is deficient in red corpuscles. When the blood is thin and weak your whole system suffers. You lose ap- petite, have no . energy, your nerves trouble you and you feel restless. What you need is `help to build up your blood and you should begin at once to make your blood rich and red by taking Dr. Williams? Pink Pills. You will soon notice the difference in your health • by a better appetite and in- creased vigor. The reason is that the •new blood created by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills stimulates all the organs of the body to healthy activity, and so the system gains nourishment and strength. If you are weak or out of sorts begin gaining new strength to- day by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can get these pills from your druggist or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Boy With a Big Conscience. A curious thing happened to me when I was a lad!" remarked old Mr. Markham. "When I was ten years old my father died, leaving my mother in straitened circumstances with a large family to support. My older sisters at once began to teach, and as soon as I was old enough I found a job in a clothing store. The work was not hard, but one thing troubled me. My father was a teetotaler and had taught me to think it wrong to drink. Well, there was an old gentleman who stopped daily at the store on his way home and took a drink of whiskey. We did not sell whiskey, but he kept bis bottle and glass there because it was convenient. As, I was the young- est clerk, it was my duty to bring the bottle and glass when he came in. "Well, I worried about it a good deal and finally went to the head of the firm and told him my conscience would not allow me to encourage any man to drink. He looked at me in amazement; then his face turned red, and he cried, 'See here, boy, are you trying to be impudent?' " `No, sir,' I replied, 'but I just don't think it's. right.' " 'Well,' he said, `no one stays in my store who can't take orders from me! You may get your pay and leave at the end of the week.' "That was a blow! When I went home I told my mother the news. She sighed and said:. 'You were quite right, my son. I would not have you disobey your conscience for all the money in the world!' "When the week ended and I was paid in full I was told to my great as- tonishment that the firm would pre- sent me with any suit of clothes in the store that I wished to have. I was much pleased and walked out with my new suit under my arm, feeling almost cheerful. "1 had not gone taro stepe before one of the owners of `the drug store next door accosted me. 'Want a job?' he asked. "I was too much astonished to ans- wer. "I hear you're leaving Brown's on account of an • abnormally developed conscience!' he went ou. 'Well, that's the kind of 0 young fellow we are needing in our business. Can't• have too much conscience in a drug store. Somebody's life might depend on it.' "I had recovered my wits, by that time. 'I'll be glad to get the work, sir, and I'll do my best,' I said. "When I went -home and told `my mother and showed her my suit she exclaimed: `I knew you were right, but we no not ,always have such quick; returns for a little investment in da' ing right!' " Gone Forever. Passenger (after the first night on board ship)—"I say, where have my clothes gone?" Steward—"Where did, you put therm?"

Here is a znuexcal, creed . worthy :of. the, attention of all Canadians. . We: believe that: 1. Music is a necessity," not a lux- ury. 2. Every cliilal has an inherent right to a musical education •3. Utility through music is a means to civic improvement. 4 Patriotism is developed• -by music. Z. The spirit of com °a;l'eship- -re- gardless of race or creed, is induced by ?music. 6! Music is the most useful medium In constructive work in any com- munity. Inferior places of entertain- ment are being rapidly abolished, there must be e,stahlished in their stead places of clean amusement. 7. Music tends to encourage a high- er form of citizenship. S. Music is a powerful curative for mental, 'moral and physical ailments 9. Every city of 10,000 or more should build a memorial community club house, as the fountain head for branches of music, and social activity for the entertainment of the peoples of that locality. And in these serious days of un- rest, it is well to remember that by giving greater encouragement to music, much of the present discontent, now existing among the masses, will be done away -with. More music and kindlier co-operation between the vari- ous sections of our communities will make Canada the envy of the world: A Forbidden Plant. - In California, if you grow a mari- huana bush you risk imprisonment for three months. Marihuana is the Span- ish-American name for hasheesh, or Indian hemp. It grows freely, and its smaller leaves and seeds are dried, crushed, and made up into cigarettes. Although the cost of production is much less than that of ordinary tobac- co cigarettes, the retail price in the underworld is as much as ten or fif- teen cents each. The drug first exhilarates the smoker, and then completely upsets his self-control. The Californian police officers have a difficult problem in the control of this drug plant, which mexicana and Negroes struggle to cul- tivate in spite of the penalties Im- posed.
