And you don't recognize its origin readily, because it is a compound ot two Anglo-Saxon words, one of which long ego disappeared and one which is virtually obsolete to -dray. "Wold" was a word used by the An- glo-Saxons to designate eometihing wild or uncivilized, a sort of wilder- neee. You'll get the connection by changing the "o" to an "i" in the word. And "ley" in its broadest sense meant "land". or ground:' A "weld bey„' therefore, was a wild or uncultivated piece of grouu'd. or hillside, without the normal forest growth. dicating the precious stone. It is not impossible, of course, that in an individu•a1 case; here and there, the name did originate that way. But so far as the available records go, this is not considered probable, It may be that in some instances the family name• was formed from an An- glo-Saxon given name. But there is nothing even to indicate this. Ap- parently it has come from a given name which, among the Dutch, was at first "Diemen,” and then "Diament"; among ong the French, "Diem." It was also found among the Flemish as "Deman," and the French call. it "De- mentia" All of these linguistic varia- tions are traceable as descendants of the old German "Dimmed," a given name indicating that Its bearer was devoted to the protection of kis fol- lowers. Ju some instances the family name may have been formed before, and in others after it was brought into Eng- lish. Is Baldness a. Blessing?

The little ones become cross; peevish; their little stomach becomes deranged and constipation and colic sets in. To make the teething period easy on baby the stomach and bowels must bo kept sweet and regular. This can be done by the nee of Baby's Own Tablets - the ideal taxed -ye for little ones. The 'tablets are a sure relief for all the minor ailments of childhood such as constipation, colic, indigestion, colds and simple fevers. They always do good—never harm. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or 'by mall at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams'. Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The First Banks. Few things play a more important part in our lives to -day than the sys- tem of banking. The word bank originally meant a tradesman's stall, and the first bank in anything like the modern sense existed about 2,700 years ago. We learn about this bank from clay tab- lets discovered near Babylon. Ap- parently the first firm of bankers was that of Egibi and Son, who flourished in Babylon about 600 or 700 B.C. The early 'Chinese were in the habit of issuing paper money—indeed, they got into difficulties by issuing too much. There was a bank in China 'about A.D. 1,000. But banking as we understand it to- day did not begin until the twelfth cen- tury, when the Bank of Venice was established. This was followed by the Bank of Barcelona, in Spain, and the Bank • of Stockholm, in Sweden. The Iatter was the first bank in Europe to issue paper money. This was in 1668. Other early banks were the Bank of St. George, at Genoa, the Bank of Ham- burg, and the Bank of Amsterdam. WHERE THE BEST TEA GROWS.

Therefore a safe that is being tested at the Underwriters' Laboratories has to undergo some pretty severe usage. If it does net weaken, says Mr. Harry Chase Brearley in a Symbol of Safety, it wins a label of utter trustworthi- ness. First the safe is submitted to the "explosion test." Inside are maga- zines and loose papers and a recording thermometer. A photograph .is taken et them. Then the doors are closed, and the safe is enveloped in flames. In less than three minutes the tem- perature exceeds a thoueande degrees; and in fifteen minutes it has reached seventeen hundred degrees. Those are extreme conflagration conditions. Fora the second teat the safe is placed in a furnace' that consists of a box of thick masonry and that is heat- ed with four rows of blast burners. Af- ter twenty minutes an observer look- ing through a peep hole at the back of the furnace can see the large sheet of steel that forms the back of the safe beginning to show signs of ristortion. That is only natural. Thirty minutes.; tiny spurts of flame are issuing from joints in tile safe trona the generation of gases within the insulation. It is indicative of good design that they can escape without doing damage. Forty minutes ,and the steel knob of the combination lock is brilliant red; one hour, and the entire surface of the sale is brilliant red. If the safe has been submitted for the highest classi- fication it is subjected to an inferno of ever-increasing intensity for three hours longer; but at the end of the four hours the heat inside as indicated by a. recording instrument connected with an external switchboard must not be sufficient to injure the most delicate papers on the shelves. The "drop test" is even more epee - teenier. Toward the end of an hour's heating, which the safe must undergo for this test, eight men in overalls stand by at their stations like trained gun crews. Blocks and tackles are all set to open the wall door of the fur- nace and to roll out the bottom truck en which the red-hot safe rests.

I could walk and felt my strength coming back, and people on all sides were asking what was helping me, and we were not slow in telling them it was Dr. Williams', Pink Pills.
