Here is a family name which, from its ending, might appear to belong to that classification of surnames• which have been derived from the names of occupations ---names, for instance, such as Baxter, whicihi originally was "Bak - ester" or "Baker," ' As a matter ott fact, however, It is a compound of a place name wti,th the Norman -Preach • prefix "de," meaning "of" or "from" and quite generally used in the early period of family name formation to indicate the locality from which the bearer of the dame had come, or with which he was in some special way connected. Earlier retards of this name as "d'Exeter" and "d'Excester" show that In Ste original use it meant simply"of• itxeter, the reference being to the Alahe it an every :nom - hag habit toshhiewith . xu Shoe Polishes East or West Eddy's Best Insist on having EDDY'S!

There is such a similarity between the ?amity names of Kelso and Kelsey, the latter of which was explained in the preceding article, that one might be pardoned for jumping at the con- clusion that they are really but varia- tions of the same name. They are not, however. Kelsey is a name. of Cornish origin. Kelso is Scottish. And though both are derived from place' names', these place names are alike neitbrer in open- ing nor meaning. Kelsey, it was explained, cams from the ancient place name of "Kelsyc." Kelso Comes from the place eamme of "Calchow." which was a eorruption-oif the more ancient ferny of.."Chalk- heugh. ,v Though Soottislti, this name is Anglo, Saxon, being in Roxburghshire, Its meaning was "chalk -hill. Note how the North English speech maintained the initial "ch" en' a "k," though the second "ch" became softened; and Axi- ally nallly changed into an "1s,". Was Methuselah Really Old? }low old was Methuselah? Nine hundred and sixty -nide years Is the age with which we have always credited this patriarch. Now however, scientific research has reduced the figure to 78% years! Experts point not that there has al- ways been, a certain amount of doubt concerning the great age supposed to have been attained by patriarchs, and many theories' have been evolver: to reduce Biblical records of this kind to something near man's normal span. It is supposed that in the earliest times the month, or period of a moon cyclte, was called a year, Sothat Adam's 930 yearsof life, calculating a year at 29'/ days, the length of a lunar month, works out at 75?/,t years. after the month -year there would appear to have cornea five-month year, the limit et five being derived from the Regale of one Land, for primitive peoples used the fingeng for purposes of calculation. On the five-month year basis, Abraham's, 175 years shrink to 72, and Isaac's 180 to 74. It is.also pointed out that it Is pos- sible there .intervened a six-month year, discovered by Jacob while watch - leg Labau's hocks. Thus Jacob's 147 years work out at about 73. The twelve -mouth year originated with the Egyptians, who saw that a complete period was nettle up of two "yearn," in one of which the "days were longer s than the eights, and in the other the nights were longer than the a days. 1a.st week, All your workmates have Try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a Blood -Improving, Health - Restoring Tonic. Every man, woman and child needs new, rich, red blood at this time of thio year. That is a scientific fart. All doctors know it. The blood grows thin and poor in the winter; there is not enough of it and spring shows the ef- feet. Take notice and see how many people are pale andesallow atthis time• of the year. They complain of being easily tired, their appetite is poor, and, they are often depressed and low- spirited. That is mother nature une. ing them to improve their blood sub ply; but oftexrtheir digestion is weak eued so that they cannot turn food into blood without help. Hereis where modern medical. science comes to the rescue.

My stomach was. quite out of order; I could eat but little and what I did eat did not appear to nourish me. I did not seem to have enough blood; my hands and legs were blue, and. 1 had no strength to work. I 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,'and-now I feel well and strong, have a good appetite, and can do my work with ease.

The Tablets give such results that the mother has noth. ing but words of praise and thankful - ?less for them. Among the thousands of mothers throughout .Canada who praise the Tablets is Mrs. David A. Anderson, New Glasgow, N.S., who writes:—"I have used Baby's Own Tablets for my children and from my experience I would not be without then. I would urge every other moth- er to keep a box of the Tablets in the house."

They are sold by medicine dealers, or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Preventing Disease. Time modern aim of rneldteine to pre- vent disease rather than wait for it to declare itself is encouraging. In form- er days people used to remark with score amusement that among other "queer" customs of the Chinese--, queer because, contrary to our ideas or practice—woe that of paying the doc- tor only so long asyou were well; but nowadays we are beginning to think that the custom isperl>>aps not so fun- ny unny after all. We have always been fond of saying, "An ounce of preven• tion is worth a pound of cure," but, curiously enough, we applied the. maxim to almost everything • except health. Now, however, we am coming to see that It applies to bodily ills with speciahforce. The modern effort to prevent disease began with the dootorsl, who in slate of the good-natured, and the sometimes ill-natured, fun .tiliai is paced at them are 'tete lovers of their kind- Since, i11 some --few exceptions', we have not adopted the, Chineeeplan, the doc- tor 'earns : his living solely by caring for the sick, and the, fewer the sick the harder It is for hien to earn his Hy- ing." Nevertheless, be fe: working con- stantly to teach people Dhow to keep well, Societies have been formed for In- structing the public hew. to avoid tuberculosis, cancer, heart disease and other great acoineses . of mankind. Moreover, ass,oclatiose• of medical men. have been established for consdd•ering the best means' to promote public health and to prevent epideanics. But at bottom responsibility for health rests' with the individual, who should form the habit of going to his physl- clan for a clean, bili of health, just as he goes to his dentist to asce;'tain the condition of his mouth.
