One of these produced six hundred and
sixty pounds, and' the other six 'hun-

There is such a simdiority between

Kelsey Is a name of. Cornish origin.
Kelso' is Scottish. And 'though both
are derived from place names, these
place names: are alike neither in spell-

Kelsey, it was explained, came from
the ancient place name' of "Kelsyc."
Kelso comes' tram the plana name of
"Calehow," which was a corruption of
the more ancient foam. of "Chalk-
heugh."
Though Scottish, this name Is Anglo-
Saxon, being to Roxburgherhire. Its
Meaning was "chalk hilt. Note how
the North English speech maintained
the initial "oh" as; a "k," though the
second "ch" became softened and fln.

people are pale and Bellow at this time
of the year. - They complain of being
easily tired, their appetite is poor, and
they are often dopreseed and lbw -

ing them to improve their blood sup-
ply; but often their digestion Is weak-
ened so that they cannot turn food
into blood without help. Here is
where modern medical science comes
to the rescue. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
have a direct' action on the blood and

found myself In a badly run down con-
dition. My stomach was quite out of

I did eat did not appear to nourish me,
I did not seem to have enough blood;
my haiids and legs were blue, and I
had no strength to work. 2 tried sev-
eral medicines but did not get good re-
sults, Then one day reading our news-
paper I read about Dr, Williams' Pink
Pills and decided to try them. I used
a half dozen boxes, end now I feel well

can do my work with ease. Naturally
I have great faith in this medicine as
