IRRITABLE PEOPLE Are Usually Victims of Poor Blood and Weak Nerves. Irritability Is one of the manifesta- tions of nervousness, and it becomes worse as the nerves become more un- strung and approach a state of ex- haustion. No one is Irritable from pre- ference, and this state is uften only the outward expression of a great deal of physical suffering which friends do not realize. It Is accompanied by neadaches, sleeplessness, nervous in- digestion and depression. Unless it is promptly checked more serious trou- ble develops. The treatment for the earlier stages of nervousness, as well as the more advanced condition, is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, requiring a tonic. A the nervea get their nourishment fro.n the blood, the treatment must be directed towards building up the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the- blood, and have proved of the greatest benefit in a great many cases of this kind. A tendency to anaemia or bloodless ness, shown by most ner- vous people, is also corrected by these tonic pills. This is shown by the case of Mr. Kenneth R. McDonald, Tarbot. N.S., who says: "For a long time I was a severe sufferer from nervous trou- ble, with the result that I gew pale and weak, lost weight, slept poorly, and always felt tired out. Various medi- cines I tried had 110 beneficial effect, until finally I was persuaded to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I found these Just what I needed, as after taking them a couple of months I not only gained In weight, but felt stronger, more cheerful and better in every way. I feel that I cannot praise these pills too highly for what they have done for m." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail, at 50 cents a box or s-ix boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, On'.. A Peep at the Future of Britain's Aviation One person in every fifteen of Bri- tain's population is at present receiv- ing benefit through the Ministry of Pensions. Aviation la one of the youngest of the sciences. It Is only 141 years since the firs* weird-looking balloon design- ed by Montgolfier rose Into the air be- fore the astonished eyes of King Louis XVI., carrying wit", it a cock, a duck, and a sheep. The aeroplane has been with u barftly nineteen years, says an English writer. It was in 1903 that a machine made by the Wright Brothers and driven by an engine of eight horse- power rose into the ;.ir with a human passenger. Since those days progress has been rapid. We have machines now whose engines develop ae much power as loads up to four tons at speeds of more than 100 miles an hour. Every month that passes sees some new improvement in aircraft. Engines have now been designed which, though they will develop 1,200 horse-power, are yet so light that four men can car- ry them with e-se. A machine made entirely of steel haa been tested and found almost indestructible. Invent- ors in several countries have had suc- cesses with helicopters, machines that require no "take off" on level ground, but can rise from tbe space of a tennis court straight into the air. What is to be the future of aviation In view of all its new wonders ? Major- General Sir F. H. Sykes, G.B.E., K.C.- B., C.M.G.. who during the last part of the war was Chief of the Air Staff, tells us something of that In his book, "Aviation in Peace and War." We can no longer rely solely upon the Navy to defend us, he argues, for unless we can keep the air as we keep the seas. we are at the mercy of any foreign foe with great fleets of aircraft. The giant 'plants of to-day can car- ry six or eight huge bombs each/ weigh- ing half a ton, and can drop them ac- curately upon ahip, camp, or town. Blr F. H. Sykes believes that the warfare of the future will begin with air attacks. "Whereas in 1914 k was twenty days between the declaration . of war and the exchange of the first ; shots," he writes, "in the nxt war the ' air battle may be Joined within as many -hours, and an air attack launch- j rlamtinn of war." Huge bombing murhlr.es will en- semble, 'he believes, as soon as war ia Imminent, and once it has begun they will make straight for Important , towns, mobilization centre*. arsenal*, j harbors, and railways. A few swift' blows might so paralyze an enemy that j he could not put up a tight at all. Aircraft can new drop poison ga* upon towns beneath. It may be con- tained In bombs, or It may simply be sprayed from the skies, falling by Its j own weight and dealing death to all whom It reaches. In recent tests aero- 1 planes using a new gas more potent than anything previously devised des- troyed every living thing oa the f ground. over which, they paaed. But though we must be prepared against air attacks, civil aviation la equally Important. Steamers and trains have reached their highest possible ped, it la to ! the air that we must look for the tra- j vel of the future. For the price of a ! battleship an air route to Australia could be organized, the value of which would be beyond coutemplatlon. Language of the Sea. Describing a man's conduct In busi- ness, a judge said it was obvious that the man in question was fond of "sail- ing too close to the wind." The Judge used a nautical term pure and simple. Wten a vessel sails too close to the wind her progress is stopped, she drifts away from her course, and trou- ble ta bound to follow. Often we talk of a man "hailing from" such and such a country. This Is a term used at sea when vessels "speak" to one another by means of flags. A man In difficulties 19 des- cribed as "out of his depth'." or a3 "having lost his bearings." Both terms are understood at sea to moan that a vessel Is prevented by some- thing from keeping o;i a safe course. When a person wants to know an- other's thoughts, he " sounds" him. That Is just what a ressel does if she wants to know where he is she. aoundn with a line and lead. If a man feel* that he ! losing ground he tries to "make up leeway." "Leeway Is the distance lost by a ship when sailing to windward, through nei hull slipping out of the wind's track to leeward. Such distance must be made up by skilful manoeuvring. "On one's beam ends," "low ebb," and "at loggerheads" are common ex- pressions which have bt tang of the salt sea In them. We UM them with- out thinking of their origin. IT SAVED HER LIFE STATES QUE. GIRL Whole System Had Given Way From Stomach Trouble. "Thwe 1 no doubt in my mind that Tanlac gave * my life," said Miss Gratia Brou-sseau, 335 Notre Dame St., Montreal, Quo. "I had chronic Indigestion for four- teen months and for four months of the time was under constant treat- ment. I couldn't even drink milk with- out suffering afterwards and I almost starved myself. My nerves finally gave way and I had to give up and take to my bed. "I will never be able to express my gratitude to Tanlac for restoring me to the a-plendid health I now enjoy. I never felt better in ray life and can hardly realize that a short time ago I was In such a wretched condition." Tan-lac to sold by all good druggists.

To live for God, yet from self all the Surnames and Their Origin GURNEY Racial Origin French. Source A locality. Here is a family name whose origin you would probably have to wander over the map of Europe to find, if you did not first hunt for clues among the historical records of medieval England or France. And at that you would be likely to miss it on account of the difference In spelling, even though tbe pronuncia- tion of to-day is not so very far from that of the French in the Middle Ages. It is one of those family names which were originally descriptive of the locality or community from which the first bearers came, and also one of those which were brought Into Eng- land first by the Normans. The locality in question is that of (.Journal, in Normandy. The Normans, by their very pres- ence in England, contributed largely to the rise of the family name. The In- vading ii ;>iy. made up of soldiers gath- ered from many localities, and many of them bearing the same given name, cutting thc-ir old ties behind them, and Bottling belter-skelter 111 a new coun- try, found frequent use for surnames which would distinguish one Geoffrey from another or one John from an- other. And in the majority of cases it was customary among them to refer to the place from which, a man had come, whereas within the Anglo-Saxon community the tendency would have been to refer to some physical pecull- rity or to a man's parentage. LOCKHART Variations Lockart, Locker, Loe- hardt. Racial Origin English and German. Source A given name. Here is a family name the origin of which looks simple. But It's a bit more difficult to trace than you might imagine, for when you dig Into its his- tory you find out that it has little to do either with a lock or a heart. As a family name it appears to trace back either to the old Anglo-Saxon given name of "Locer" (the "c" has the "k" pronunciation here) or to the old German form of "Lochard." Both of these given names appear every once in a while In the madieval history of England and Germany, as well as of Normandy, for while the Normans spoke French, they were of Teutonic origin, and most of the no- menclature was Teutonic. When It comes to figuring out the meaning of these given names, things are not quite so clear. The last sylla- ble, "hart." Is one which is frequently met with In old Teutonic names, and had In a general way the meaning of "strength" and "bravery." In fact we get our modern word "hardy" from this same root. But though there are many theories to account for the "loch," there are none which are cer- i tain enough even to bother quoting. j This man is lacking in power! He works and he worries, he plans and he hurries. He sighs through each passing hour. To live for God and from God all the time This man is indeed most bles*.

NOTHING TO EQUAL PETRIE'S MACHINERY TORONTO SUMMER HEAT What is a Baby? Some definitions of a baby: "The bachelor's horror, the mother's treasure, and the despotic tyrant of! the household." "The morning caller, noonday crawl- j er, and midnight bawler." "The only precious possession that ! never excites envy." "The latest edition of humanity, of which every couple think they pos- sess the finest copy." 1 A native of all countries, who speaks the language of none." "A few inches of ooo and wiggle, writhe and scream, fitted with suction j and testing apparatus for milk, and automatic alarm to regulate supply." . "A thing we are expected to kies and look as If we enjoyed it." "A little stranger with a free pa&s to the heart's best affections." Bachelors and spinsters make up the larger part of those who in their old age are obliged to depend on the town or province for support. Figures show that of men who have a trade only one in a hundred thousand has tOj go to the poorhouse, and that of men with a college education the proportion is smaller still. HARD ON BABY No season of the year \t to danger- ous to the life of little onea as la the summer. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid la at band the baby may be beyond all hu- man help before the mother realizes he is ill. Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera Infantum. dysentery and colic are most prevalent. Any of these troubles may prow; deadly If not promptly treated. During the summer mother's best friend is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach and keep baby healthy. The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont For Sprains and Bruises.

"I give you your freedom, Solomon. Here te the ring you gave me. I can- not marry you. for I love another." "O Rachel! And what is the name of this other one?" "Wretch! You would do him harm?" "Not at all. But perhaps I could sell him the ring at a bargain." Maybe that hill is not there, after all VERY often the hill we seem to be climbing, after the mid- dle years, is made out of the com- mon mistakes of diet which starve tissues and nerves and slow down energies with faulty nutrition and stored up food poisons. How smooth and level the path seemed to be when we were young. Simple, natural food may level that hill to a smooth path again. Suppose you try it! Begin today with n dish of Grape-Nuts with cream or milk (fresh or preserved fruit, too, if you like) for brcakfp.s* or lunch. Keep up this crisp, delicious, strengthening food in place of heavy, ill-assorted, starchy break- fasts and lunches and sec if the old-time zest and speed on the old-time level path doesn't come back again. Grape=Nuts THE BODY BUILDER Are You Poor? Heaven help the poor! I do act mean the poor in money. I mean those wbo are poor In resources. For the only poverty that grinds, deadens, and kills is poverty of re- sources. When sorrow comes the poor in re- sources have no wells of inner happi- ness from which to draw When their money is gone they have no inner riches. When they are bereaved they have no tides of Faith to support them. They are poor in self-mastery, and their environment overcomes them. They are poor In discipline, and their own selves fall upon them and devour them. They are poor In enthusiasms, and when their one little interest is gone they have no other. They are poor In friends, and to their calamity is added loneliness. They are poor In thoughts. As Robert Louis Stevenson said, they do not have so much as two Ideas to rub i against each other while waiting for a train. They are poor In work, having never found their task, without which no soul can be happy. They are poor in beauty, having never learned to see it, let alone feed upon it They .stand like shivering souls look- 1 ing In throttgb the window at the warmth of life : hungry souls begging : of every passer-by the bread of praise which they cannot digest. It's terrible to be poor, poor In all that makes life rich and strong and easy. It's pitiful, too. to see poverty- stricken souls trying to buy real riches with money. Dr. Frank Crane.
