OVERWORKED SERVES The Most Successful Treatment is Through the Blood. The early stages of nervous debility are noted by restlessness and irrita- bility in which the victims seem to be oppressed by their nerves. As the trouble advances, common symptoms are a tired feeling; weakness in the knees and ankles; headaches, back- action and sleeplessness. The matter requires immediate attention, for noth- ing but suitable treatment will prevent a complete breakdown. The nervous system governs the 'whole body, controlling heart, lungs, digestion and brain, so that it is not surprising that nervous disturbances catuse acute distress. For troubles of Oils kind Dr. William's Pink Pills suc- ceed when other treatment falls, for these pills make new blood, enriched with the elements on v.-Mrh the nerves Owive, and in this way reach the root of the trouble. In proof of this is the statement of Mrs. Dockerill, Strat- ford, Ont.. who says: "My daughter, Matilda, was suffering from nervous debility, and the usual remedies did not seem to help her. I was advised by a friend to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, and soon we found they were doing her a great deal of good. She complained of pains in the stom- ttohi and a severe fluttering of the heart, with a general weakness. Un- der the use of these piUls she con- tinued to gaJn, and I believe they have saved her from going into a decline." You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents A box or six boxes for $2.60 from The Pr. WiliWams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Of Two Evils.

It i not generally known that meteorological experts use balloons to "sound" the upper air. Two types of balloons are used for thte purpose. TUie larger type Is sent up with a small instrument called a "meteorograph" attached to it. It con- tinues to rise until It bursts, when the meteorograph falls to earth. The instrument Is protected from injury by being enclosed in a light bamboo framework, wMle the rem- naints of the balloon act as a parachute so that the records obtained are usual- ly recovered In good condition. A notice is attached to the instrument entitling the finder to a reward on handing it in at any post office. The records made include pressure, temperature, and humidity, and tihe whole is contained on a small plate of silver-plated meta;! not much bigger than a postage stamp. A microscope is required to enable the records to be read with accuracy, but the results are very dependable. The other type of balloon is much emallor, and is made of tlhln rubber, geiiPivilly dyed a dark color to render it easily visible. These are termed "pilot balloons," and are sent up in considerable numbers every day. They are inflated with hydrogen, and after being released are observed in their flight by means of measuring instru- ments-. The balloons follow curious tracks at times, especially at stations on our eastern coasts. When a seabreoze is blowing shorewards, the balloon tra- vels westward over tihe land, but as it rises It soon passes beyond the in- fluence of the easterly breeze. If the wind above is from some westerly point, ae us usually the case, the bal- loon often returns overhead across the station, and is- lost to sight far over the sea. RED HOT JULY DAYS HARD ON THE BABY July the mon'tih of oppressive heat; red hot days and sweltering nights; is extremelv hard on little ones. Diar- rhoea, dysentery, colic and cholera in- fantum carry off thousands of precious little lives every summer. The mother must be constantly on her guard to prevent these troubles or if they come on suddenly to fight them. No other medicine is of such aid to mothers during the hot summer as is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels and stomach, and an occasion- al dose giYen to the well child will pre- vent summer complaint, or if the trou- ble does come on suddenly will banish It. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Cotton in Australia.

Surnames and Their Origin SPICER Variation Spiser. Racial Origin English. Source An occupation. The origin of the family name of Spiei-r, or Miser, is quite obvious. To * far gredpr extent than we do, the medieval English used the termination "er" with the name of an article or thing to indicate the person habitually or occupationaily connected with it. But while it is quite true that the original Spicers were merchants who handled spices or prepared thm, you must not picture them to yourself us following the medieval parallel of the modern spice grinder. As a matter of fact, if family names were being form- ed to-day the Splcers would not adopt thin name, or have it given to them by their communities. They would be called, rather, "Grocers." The splcer of medieval times really was more of a retail grocer than what we understand by the term spicer. He | dM not handle, of course, the wide and I varied lines of merci'amlise which tihe ! modern grocer i able to offer. There j were no canned goods then. There ; were no bottled olives and packaged | breakfast foods. And for the most , part flour wa_s bought direct from the ' miller. This left the specialty grocer i little to handle, but goods coming un- 1 4*r the general closeiflcation of spices U you interpret the word in its most liberal sense. Fresh vegetables, you We, were purchased in the farmers' markets. BRAGG Racial Origin Norse-English. Source A given name. Here is a family name the origin of which will fool you in more ways than one. Unconsciously you associate It in your mind with our modern word "brag." Strangely enough, for in most cases things do not happen to be that way, it actually Is associated with it. However, there is little indication that the first bearers of the family name of Bragg had it wished upon them for being braggarts. It would be possible, of course, for this latter word to become shortened into Bragg in the course of time; yet it would not be litcely ttat the final syllable would al- together disappear. The other explanation is far more logical when considered in itself, and it happens to be borne out by some available old records. Brag was by no means Unknown In medieval England ae a given name, though being of Danish or Norse origin It was not so common as either tihe Norman or An- glo-Saxon names. "Brag," or "Braga" in the northern Teutonic nomenclature, indicated the paan god of eloquence, and it was to be expected that in those sturdy, rough and primitive days there was a closer connection between eloquence and boas (.fulness than we give to these words to-day. It was not strange that the verb "to brag" was evolved, nor that it should finally coma to Indicate boaatfulness rather than eloquence in our modern speech. Strained or Weak Hearts. Since hearts differ from one another Just as their owners differ, the phrase "a normal heart" must be used in an elastic way. There is no need to go into a discussion of what people call "heart disease," which is another elas- tic phrase; It IB safe to say that very few persons come to the age of three- score years and ten without their quite normal hearts' doing some quite ab- normal things and yet they are uone the worse for it. The heart te a great mus-cular pump and works twenty-four hours a day under penalty of death if it stops for a minute. The wonder Is that most of us have so little trouble with our heart. A great many persons' who start life with good, strong hearts sub- ject them to some form of over-strain the effects of which they may feel for a long time, even for life Itself. If there is reason to suppose that a heart has suffered from strain, it stands to reason that it should receive rest and care, Just as any tired muscle should receive U:m; indeed, because of its importance it should receive unusual care. In the young, strain owing to too strenuous athletics is frequently met with, and many otherwise splen- didly equipped young men have in- jured themselves permanently in the gymnasium and on the athdetic field. At the other extreme is the flabby, weak heart, which is flabby and weak from too little exercise. In such a case every other muscle in the body is also flabby and weak and will continue so until the sufferer changes his habits and tones up his whole muscular sys- tem by means of correct exercise. Any muscle not sufficiently exercised will be flabby, and any muscle too ener- getically exercised will suffer from strain. Some hearts are weak because thetr owners are insufficiently or improper- ly feti. The cure, naturally. Is to eat enough of the right kind of food. Some hearts rebel because their owners stuff themselves and therefore suffer from the digestive disturbances. The cure is to eat lese and, guided by medlcaj advice to exercise more. Often acute illness such as Influenza will leave the heart weak for a wfalle even after tiue patient ls> strong in all other respects Always remember that a heart that is weak but not diseased may with sense and patience be strengthened and that a strained heart that is not diseased may with the aid of the same moral qualities be nursed back to normal. Simple Indeed. Can you imagine a group of human beinge BO simple that they really be- lieve that the rear wheels of a buggy are trying to catch the front wheels'? Or can you believe that a vigorous man could approach a bench and not know hw to sit down on it? Bishop Walter Sellew of the Free Methodist Churoh, a great traveler, tells several amusing incidents that show such amazing simplicity is characteristic of the heathen mind. A wheeled vehicle was. delivered at a missionary poet In Africa for the convenience of the workers. The na- tives, who had never seen anything like it, gathered round with much Jab- bering. When the missionary nnd liisihop Seilew utarted oft in it for the first time the excitement of the na- tives rose to a high pitch, and they fol- lowed alongside the vehicle, yelling and clapping their hands. Noticing that they wens looking ex- citedly at the front wheels, the bishop asked the misfifoiiary wihat they were saying. The missionary replied that they were crying out, "Plucky little fellows! Plucky little fellows! See, they are small, but the big wheels can't catch them!" One time when the bishop was speaking to a native congregation in Africa a tall, muscular Mack man, wearing only a lion cloth, entered the little chapel after the others were seat- ed on Che benches. He walked half- way down the centre aisle and then squatted on his heels. A native usher asked him to sit on the bench, and the big fellow moved between two rows of benches and sat on his heela a& be- fore. A second time the uher asked him to sit on the beach, aud the na- tive, puzzled but willing to oblige, jumped up on a bench and again squat- ted on his heels. He sat down only when the usher pulled his feet out from under him; he did not know how to sit down, though had he entered with the others, wio knew, he could have done it easily, for the natives are quick to imitate.
