- \ GLAD HE TRiFD THE TONIC TREATMENT X Through Its Use Strength and Vigor Was Restored. To be tired after exertion is natural. Rest and food restore the body to nor- mal after such fatigue. But to be tired all the time is a symptom of an anaemic condition that will not be corrected until the blood is built up. Such an anaemic condition is so gradual in its approach and generally BO lacking in acute pains that It is often difficult to persuade the suffer- er to do anything for it. But it Is not a condition that corrects itself. If the blood is not enriched the trouble will increase. The nerves w il! be un- dernourished and neuralgic pains will follow. Digestive disturbances often result from thin blood, sleep la disturbed and a general breakdown may occur. Mr. Wilson Johnson, Ninevah. N.S., Bays: "A few years ago my system was in a badly run down condition. My nerves seemed always on edge, and I found myself so weak that I could hardly do any wort. I suffered from headaches and from pains in the back and under the shoulders, and was of- ten so sleepless at night that when morning came I felt as tired as when I went to bed. I was taking medicine all the time, but it was doing me no good. Then I read the testimonial of a man whose condition had been similar to mine, and who strongly re- commended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I decided to give this medicine a fair trial, and when I had taken six boxes I felt much better. I continued taking the pills until I had taken six more boxes, and I can only say I am glad I dld'so, as I am now enjoying the best of health, and I advis all men who feel run down to give these pills a good trial." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be ob- tained from any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville. Ont. Eventide. Tho <lny Is past and the toilers cease, The land grow.s dim 'mid the shad- ows gray, And hearts are glad, for the dark brings peace At the close of day. Each weary toiler, with linerlng pace, As he homeward turns, with the long day done, Looks to the west, with the light on his face, Of the setting sun. Yet some see not (with their sin-dim- med eyes The promise of rest In the 'adir.g light, But the louds loom dark in the angry skies, At the fall of night. And some see only a golden sky, Where the elms their welcoming arms stretch wide To the calling rooks, as they home- ward fly At the eventide. It speaks of peace that comes after strife, Of the rest He sends to the hearts He tried, Of the calm that follows the stormiest life- God's eventide. Lleut.-Ool. John McCrae. Why Your Ears Burn. Everybody has experienced the feeling of a burning ear, but few un- derstand how it occurs. Sudden frights, excitement, worry, and anxiety are the causes. The sen- sation is due to the liberation of thyroid and other gland substances, which have a tendency to paralyse the muscles in the walls of the skin. This temporary palsy permits their elastic walla to expand, and a stream of blood rushes into the cheeks and ears. When you realize that the heait of the blood as It circulates through the body is about one hundred degrees Fahrenheit, it is plain that a sudden concentration in one place causes a rise in temperature. The spot affect- ed feels for the moment like a flery furnace. Surnames and Their Origin YORK Racial Origin English. Source A locality. OGILVIE. Variations Ogllby, O'Gilby, Galvey, Galwey, Gllbey, Gilboy. Racial Origin Irish. The origin of York as a family name Source _ A gjven Is not hard to guess. It comes from the city in England of that name. In Scotland the name of the Clan ! Ogilvie, which was discussed pro The city of York is almost as im- | viously, Is traced back to an origin In portant historically as London, and it . a . is as old, antedating the Roman In- vasion, and having been founded by the Celtic Britons long before the first Anglo-Saxon settlers made their ap- pearance. Linking the names of York and Lon- don brings up an interesting question. Why is tho name of London virtually place name. But in Ireland there was another clan of this name. That la, the name wa.s the same If you make th* comparl- sion with certain of the Anglicized variations. In reality, however, It is not the same name at all when you look at the Gaelic form. This clan was known as the "O'GlulI- Buldhe," and the earliest records show never met with as a family name, and that It became an independent clan that of York rather seldom, while unit about the year 1100 A.D.. It was family names derived from smaller cKies, and even towns and villages are quite common? At the period when men's neighbors began to link their given names with the names of the places from which they had come, to distinguish different Individuals of the same given name. It would have constituted little dif- ferentiation to use such a name as London. London was such an impor- tant placo, the seat of the government and so many men came from London. There might be several Johns from London in a very small community. With York it was much the same, though not to the same degree. York was still a* big and important place, but It wasn't the sent of the Govern- ment. Hent'e we find a number of Korku in the list of English family raines, but not as many as of Lincoln*). one of those little accidents of history that all persons whose names trace back to this clan are not bearing the name of O'Shaughnessy Instead, for the chieftain who found the (Man "O'Glall-Buidhe" was the son of the lirst chieftain of the O'Shaughnessys. His given name, from which the clan name ia derived, had a meaning of "yellow hostage" or fair-haired fol- lower." It is to be noted that the true meaning of these old Irish given names in which this eJement "gil" or "giall" appears cannot be adequately rendored by any single English word. "Hostage" merely comes the closest to it. or "servant," or "follower." The meaning, however, was far from that of "prisoner" or "atlave." There was embodied in It also the thoughts of "loyalty," "honorable service," "emu- lation of" and the like. SAVED BABY'S LIFE ff ROM NEK WHERE Airs. Alfred Tranchemontagne, St. | Michel des Saints.

In some form or another dice have existed in every period of history. They are shown on early Egyptian monuments, and some dug up at Thebes recently are exactly similar to those in use to-day. They are men- tioned in laws regulating games play- ed in ancient Greece and Rome and most other countries in Europe. The invention of dice is attributed to Palauiedes, one of the heroes who sailed against Troy, about the year 1244 B.C., but the use of cubes with numbered sides for gambling purposes is probably much earlier. Frequent passages In the works of ancient writers and numerous repre- sentations in marble and paintings show how popular dice-playing waa among them.

The pineapple growers of Hawaii, anxious to encourage new uses* for their product, are now putting the fruit up in cans, crushed or grated, aa well as sliced. Grated or crushed pineapple is be- ginning to find favor as an ingredient of sodas and sundaes. Pineapple pie, made with the fruit thus prepared, is declared excellent. Got His Answer. A bumptious young American farm- er went to England to learn his busi- ness, but where he went he pretended that it was far easier to teach the farmers than to learn anything from them. "I've got an idea," he said one day to a grizzli-d old Northumbrian agriculturist, "for a new kind of fer- tilizer which will be ten thousand times as effective as any that has ever been tried. Condensed fertilizer that's what it is. Enough for an acre of ground would go in one of my waistcoat pockets." "I don't doubt it, young gentleman," said the veteran of the soil. "What is more, you'll be able to put the crop into the other waist- coat pocket." MONEY ORDERS. A Dominion Express Money Order for five dollars costs three cents. Why guess about it When you can know about it? . Suppose a guide said "This way there's a safe and pleasant road to your destination, with no risks or troubles on the way," and "That way there's a road that a good many have stalled on and turned back from, but you may get through." Which would you take? Postum is a thoroughly agreeable and satisfying meal -time drink, and you're sure that it's perfectly safe for health. Tea and coffee contain drug qualities which disturb the health of many. Postum or tea and coffee? Which road? Why guess when you can know? Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) made Instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) mod* by boiling for 20 minutes.

He wna a struggling Scottish farm- er, and he had the good fortune to win the hand of a widow who possessed in her own right the sum of flve thous- and pounds. Shortly before the wedding a friend went to congratulate him. "It's a tine thing for ye, this woddin'. Sandy!" he said. "Aye, it's no' bad," replied the farm- er. "No bad?

Real Friendship. What true friendship consists in de- pends on the temperament of the man who has a friend. It is related that at the funeral of Mr. Scroggs, who died extremely poor, the usually cold- blooded Squire Tightflst was much af- fected. '"You thought a great deal of him, I suppose?" some one asked him. "Thought a great deal of him? I should think I did. There was a true friend.

"Animals that have pouches in tlieir stomachs" came the quick reply. "And for what purpose do they use the pouches?" continued the teacher, ignoring the slight Inaccuracy of the reply. "I am sure you know that too." "Yes'm," said Johnny promptly. "The pouches are for them to crawl into and conceal themselves when pursued." Amusing the Neighbors. Johnnie age six, was mis-sod by his mother ono day for some time, and when he reappeared she asked: "Where have you l>een, my son?" "Playing postman," replies! Willie.
