HOW RHEUMATISM CAN BEOVERCQME Not by Rubbing, But by Enrich- ing the Blood. Rheumatism Is a disorder of the blood. It attacks people when the blood Is overcharged with acid and im- purities, thus setting up inflammation i a the muscles and joints. Wet weath- or or cold weather may start the tortures of rheumatism, but it is not the cause. The cause is in the blood. Victims of this malady have every rea- son to fear the first dull ache in the limbs and joints, followed by sharp pains through the flesh and muscles; these are the symptoms of poison in the blood, which will shortly leave the victim palnracked and helpless. Lini- ments, hot applications and rubbing may give temporary ease, but cannot possibly root the trouble out of the system. That can only be done by en- riching the blood. This new blood drives out the poisonous Impurities, and the rheumatism disappears. If you are a sufferer from this painful malady, begin the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and see how soon the pains und stiffness of the joints fade away. Among those who have benefitted by the use of these pills is Mr. Freeman Irving, Baxter Harbor, N.S., who says: "Some time ago my blood was in a terrible condition, leaving me very much run down, and with boila break- Ing out on my body. To add to my misery rheumatism set in, and I not only suffered greatly from the pain, but could only get around with the greatest difficulty. After trying sev- eral medicines without much success, I decided to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, as they had been warmly recommended to me. I think I used nine boxes altogether, but the results met my every expectation, as both the boils and the rheumatism disappeared. Naturally I feel that I cannot praise the pills too highly." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50c a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockvtlle, Ont. The Care of Leather. The proper drying of boots and shoes after they have become soaking wet has much to do with their lasting qualities. The use of the proper kind of oil or grease will graatly incietts* the wear of ehoe leather. When leather is wet, it is soft and therefore re-aitily stretches out of shape. The stitches cut through the wet leather easily and wet soles and heels wear away rapidly. Great care rauBt be taken in drying wet boots and shoes, for they often burn before it seems possible; more- over, If dried too fast, the leather be- comes hard and the boots shrink out of shape. To dry wet boots properly, first wash off all mud or grit with te- pid water, and, if they are heavy work boots, oil or grease them at once. Straigbten the counters, toes and up- pers to the proper shape, and stuff the toes with crumpled paper, to hold the boots in shape while drying. Set the shoes in a plaice whiere they will dry slowly; wet leather burns very easily, and if it is placed where it is hotter than the hand can bear, it is almost sure to burn. The' shoes should not be worn until thoroughly dry. Before oiling or greasing boots, brush them well, warm them careful- ly, apply warm oil or grease, and rub in with the palm of the hand. Work the grease well in where the sole jot in the upper and along the edges of the sole. Neat's-foot, cod and caster oils and tallow and wool grease, or mixtures of them, are the best- Castor oil is the moat satisfactory oil for use on polished shoes. If applied lightly, the shoes may be polished at once, if necessary, but It is" better to wait a few hours. A good mixture for waterproofing leather Is: neutral wool grease, 8 ounces ; dark petrolatum, i ounces ; paraffin wax, 4 ounces. This should be heated, thoroughly mixed, and al- lowed to cool. Before using, it should be warmed to blood heat. Care must be taken when warming that it does not catch fire. Blood Money. The Soviet Governnient offered re- cently a reward uf twenty million i rouble.? (about $10,000,000) for the cap- j ture of Osdip Lietnyi. The gentleman with the strange! name was formerly head of the Soviet 1 district of Tsaritsin, but, gatt'.ng j weary of Leninism, decided to strike j out on hie own. He therefore collect- J ed a band of Kalnvuk brigands, and | started a career of plunder and slaugh- ter . By thus infringing on the privileges of the Red Government, he earned the distinction of having set upon his head the highest price ever yet set on a human being. Next in point of value comes the 1150.000 which the En&lteh Govern- ment of the time offered for the cap- ture of the Young Pretender, in 1745. Since money was then worth at least th'ree times its present value, the re- ward (which was never claimed) was a very respectable fortune. To conie down to more modern times, the biggest sum in blood-money | offered previous to the Great War was that set on the head of the ex-Shah of Persia, iu 1911. The ex-Shah- organised an army on i a great scale, and swept down from As-trabad on Teheran. Having but a paltry t**o thousand troops with which to defend themselves, the Persian Par- liament offered a sum of $82,500 for the leader of the rebel army either dead or alive. MusolLno, i ;:<> celebrated Italian bri- gand, comes fourth on the list. There was a sort of grand opern flavor about this gentleman, who for a long time terrorized a large district of Sicily, and in his leisure lime composed bal- lads which his followers sang. The Italian Government, having made vain attempts to capture him, of- fered a reward of $6,000 for his body. This sum proving Insufficient, the prize was gradually raised until at last it amounted to no le-.-s than $40.000. AUTO REPAIR PARTS for most inaUes and models of carl.

We ;ire Inclined to susuect that names like this are not what they seem, particularly when we remember that such a name as Hay has nothing whatever to do with our word "hay." In this case, however, the suspicion proves unfounded, for the family name ot clay, famous In American history of statesmanship, is In fact the same KB our word clay. Clay was to the farmer of the mid- dle ages in England what nitrates are to the modem farmer. That is to say, itwas must important as a fertilizer, and the people who owned clay depos- its or traded In the commodity were almost certain to be persons of great importance in their communities, not to say of wealth. Not all who bear the name, how- ever, are necessarily descended from clay owners or traders, though It 10 fair to assume that the majority are, tor the name was often descriptive of the locality iu which the bearer re- sided, as well as his occupation. In one of the old records an "Alice in le Cley" is referred to. A more usual form was "de la Cley." Of course the form "le Cleyere" nearly always re- presented the occupation. "Marie" was another name for clay. It is more common in the term "marl- Ing," which means mixing clay with the soil. Hence the family name Mar- ler, which, however, is not very com- mon to-day. CAM ILL Variations Lowe. Quick. O'Cahill. Racial Origin Irish. Source A given name. Historical record Is the basis for Including Lowe and Quick as varla- I tions of the Irish family name of Ca- hill, for, strictly speaking, they are not the same name at all. though both Lowe and Quick, when of Irish origin, are traceaMe back to the same per- son. The Irish form of the family name is "O'CathaU." which. It should be re- membered, Is not pronounced with a "th" like that in English, but more like the English spelling which actual- ly is used In representing it. The Irish family name Is derived from the given name of "Cathal," which means "valor." For the most part the "O'Cathalls" were descendants of or followers of Cathal, the son of Conor, nicknamed Conor na Lulnge Lualthe," or "Con- nor of the Swifter Sailing Ship," a chieftain prominent in ancient Irish history. Subsequent to the English conquest of Irela.nd the native families in many sections were compelled by law to adopt English surnames. As a rule they did not pick them at random, choosing rather an English translation of the Irish family name or an Eng- lish name which sounded as much as possible like it. In this manner some of the O'Ca- thaila adopted the name of Quick, from the Irish word of that meaning in the title of the historical "Conor na Lulnge Luaithe," while others adopt- ed the name of Lowe front its simi- larity in sound to "Lualthe."

Increase in power ; development naturally accompanied | expansio-n of industries. The pulp and j paper industry has imdoubtedJy at- tracted the. greatest attention during th past year, but a large number of ! smaller industries and the ever-in- ! creasing uses of electricity for power and domestic purposes, both in urban and rural communities, are important , factors in the Increasing power de- j raand. While the total water-power , installation of the Dominion at the ', commencement of 1920 was eome 2,- 1 500,000 H.p., the ultimate capacity of undertakings, either completed during the past year or under actual con- struction, will increase this total by some 840,000 h.p. This lignre includes the 500,000 h.p. Chippuwa develop- ment ot the Ontario Hydro-Klectric Power Commission. Additional pro- jects aggregating some 360.000 h.p. are also under consideration. The Province of Ontario leada with some 650,000 h.p. iu undertakings, which are either under construction or completed ; Quebec shows 140,000 h.p.; the Maritime Provinces, 30,000 h.p.; Manitoba, 20,000 h.p. Undertakings which are projected for the near future aggregate some 200.000 h.p. In Quebec; 15.000 h.p. in Ontario and 20.000 h.p. in the Mari- time Provinces, while one project alone In British Columbia involves some 125,000 h.p.

The Miner's Joke. I A party of professors undertook to j penetrate into the depths of a Cornish mine. The lowering apparatus was the primitive rope and bucket. When they had finished their explorations they were hauled up in the bucket two at a time. As the latst was alowly as- cending, with a miner as a fellow pas- senger, he perceived unmistakable symptoms of frailty In the rope. "How ' often do you change your ropea, my good man?" he inquired, when about half way from the bottom of the- awful abyss. "Every three months, sir," re- 1 plied the man in Uie bucket; "and' we shall change this one to-morrow if we get up safe." His First Chance. "What do you men know of women's work?" fiercely queried the lady ora- tor.

Asbestos L* cne of the better known of Canada's non-metallic minerals It is useful as an insulating material and enters into the production nrf many every-day appliances. It is found chiefly in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, the deposit.-; there beir.jf the chief source of the world's sup- ply. Asbestos is a fine, flexible fibre, of silky appearance. Jt occurs in the fissures of the serpentine rock, which in this area is of a dark green or brownish color, so badly shattered that it is almost impossible u> secure a block of the stone six feet long. Veins of asbestos, sometimes from four to live inches in thickness, ara found with the fibres at rig-ht angles to the walls of veins. Properly speaking, asbestas is not mined', but is recovered by the open- cut method from quarries, similar to stone quarrying. The over-burden is removed l;y steam-shovels. Owing to its non-conducting pro- perties and to the fact that it is resis- tant to common acids, asbestos has many and varied uses. It is largely used as insulation for heating plants and of refrigeration installations. Asbestos enters largely into the manufacture of electrical eo^iipment. such as electric irons, toasters, fuse boxes, switchboards, etc. Ocher pur- poses for which it is used are as wall- board, sheeting under shingles for fire prevention, as gas logs in fire-places, as filaments for kerosene and gas mantels; and as taJ>le mats an<l uten- sil holders. The motor car industry has become a large consumer of asbestos, for in- sulation purposes and for brake lin- ings, etc. Owing to the facility with which asbestos fibre can be spun and woven, consk!eraW use is made of it for filtering purposes in laboratories. Its resistance to the common acids ren- ders it of special vaiuu for thia pur- pose. The production of asbestos in the province of Quebec in 1920 amounted to 177,005 tons, cf a value of $14,- 674,372. By far the greater propor- tion of this U exported, mostly bo the United States.

The year 1920 broke all records for marrages in this country, saya a Lon- don despatch. For the three years preceding the war the annual average number of marriages In England and Wales was only 280.000. In 1!'20 al- most 400,000 marriages took place. Prior to this the 300,000 mark had been passed only twice. The tlrst time was In 1915, when the cry "Single Men First" set the wedding bells ringing, and in 1919. when marriages whjch had been delayed by the war took place. The 1920 boom is attributed to the after effects of the immediate wave of prosperity following the war.
