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.

To Women Who Do Their Own Work: Suppose
you could save six minutes every day in washing
pots arid pans—two minutes after every meal. In
a month, this would amount to a saving of three
hours of this disagreeable but necessary work.
This saving can be made by using Sim' enameled

'will not, absorb dirt or grease. No scraping, scouring oil

maser's, Germany, recently,. the fac-
tory ownera were up againstit for
cash. 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`°

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

no cupboard. That's a porthole."

Music.Loversr.
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.
A SPLENDID LAXATIVE
FOR TIN BAR Y
Mothers should constantly be on
guard to keep baby's bowels working
freely and his stomach sweet, for nine -
tenths of the ailments from which lit-
tle ones suffer are caused by derange-
ments of the stomach and bowels.
Baby's Own Tablets are a splendid
laxative for the baby. They are mild
but thorough; contain neither opiates
nor narcotics, and are absolutely guar-
anteed to be safe and efficient for
either the newborn babe -or the grow-
ing child. By their action on the
bowels and stomach they drive out
constipation and indigestion; break up
colds and simple fevers and make the
dreaded teething period easy. The
Tablets are sold by medicine dealers
or by mail at 25 cents a box from The
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,
Ont.

"Les" .Booth Finally Got Re-

"Since taking,Taniac, I feel so fit it
sometimes seems like a dream for
there was hardly a day in 20 years
that I did not suffer," is the striking
statement of Geo. L. ("Les") Booth,
271 Perth St., Brockville, Ont., one of
the best known farmer's in Ontario.
"For 20 years, up to three years ago
when I took Tanlac, I suffered from
rheumatism in my arms, shbuiders,
back and hips, so bad at times I could
not lift my arms to put my coat on. 1
couldn't even write niy name and 1
Just limped about like a cripple. Many
a night it looked like I would not live
to see daybreak, and once I was laid
up six months unable' to hit a lick of
work.
"Money could colt buy the good Tan -
lac has done me. It ended every sign
of rheumatism and built up my weight
16 pounds, and since then I have net
had a rheumatic ache or pain. If any-
body wants to know about Taniae, just

ting married, the Social Works Bu-
reau of Tokio municipality proposes
to establish a matrimonial intelligence
bureau.
The bureau will register the names
of those who express the desire to be

arrange satisfactory matches.. A stock
of handsome kimonos will be pur-
chased by the bureau and lent to the
prospective brides and' the services of
an officer to perform the ceremony
and a hall to hold the ceremony will
be donated without charge.

side and for weakness and headaches. I

the mother of four children and I am
nursing my baby—the first one of four
I could nurse. I took Lydia E. Pink -
