STOMACH TROUBU DUE TO Tiflit BIjOOD It Usually Disappears When the Blood is Made Rich and Red. Thin blood is one of the most com- mon causes of stomach trouble. It af- fects the digestion very quickly. The glands that furnish the digestive flulils are diminished in their activity, the stomach muscles are weakened and there Is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothing will more duickly restore the appetlt«, digestion and normal nutrition than good, rich, red blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood, makins: it rich and red, and this enriched blood streagthens weak nerves, stimulate tired mus- cles and awakens to normal activity the glands that supply the digestive fluids. This Is shown by an improved appetite, and soon the effect of these blood enriching pilU is evident throughout the whole system. You find that what you eat does not dis- tress you, and that yor. are vigorous Instead of Irritabla and listless. If your appetite is fickle, if you have any of the distreflsing pains and symptoms of ijidigestion, you should at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla and proflt by the better condition In which they will put your blood. These pills are sold by all dealers In medicine, or you can get them by mai' at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockviile, Ont. Grasshoppers as Food. Everyone knows that cats catch grasshoppers and eat them with great relish, though housewives will tell you that they grow thin on that diet. Pabre, the famous naturalist, believes that grasshoppers and similar Insects would be palatable food for human be- ings too, and In one of his books, saya Mr. Percy F. Bicknell, he quoted with approval this passage from General Daumas's book The Great Desert, ex- plaining In a footnote that the grass- hopper (sauterelle) referred to is more exactly the cricket, which must not be confused with the true grasshopper: . "The gras.? hopper Is good eating both for men and for camels. Either fresh or pickled, it is eaten after the te«t, the wings and the head have been removed; the rest is broiled or slew- ed and served up In the form of meat balls. After being dried in the sun it Is ground to powder, which may be stirred into milk or made Into dough and then fried in fat or butter with salt. "Camels greatly Idke to eat grass- hoppers, which are served to them either dried or after being roasted In a heap in a large hole between two layers of live coals. The Negroes also eat them cooked in that way. "The Virgin Jlary. having asked God fcr some meat that isliould have no blood. He sent her^si).nie grasshoppers. "The wives of the prophets, when anyone sent them a presnt of grass- hoppers, always shared them with the other women. "The Calif Omar, one day when he was asked whether the use of grass- hoppers for food was permitted, re- plied: 'I should like to have a basket- ful of them to eat." "From all this testimony It Is clearly evident that by the grace of God grass- hoppers were given to man for food." The Omoibut Driver. I Witk the disappearance of the horse- i drawn omnibus, writes Mr. W. Pett , TliUgeln, much of the eayety of the London streets has undoubtedly gone, j The motorman wears the look of a philosopher; certainly be ba^, at In- quests, the undeiiirable reputation of taking life aa he finds it ; anyhow be has no chance of paying attention to remarks aimed at him by those who only just escape collision with bis con- veyance. For myself I 4o Qot miss the con- fidences of the old oranlbivj driver and of his colleagues. The conductor often had a grievance against a ticket In- spector or a member of his wife's family or the deportment of a passen- ger from Victoria, and he never failed to tell rae all about It They were both for one thing legal advisers; never better pleased than when some nice point wa,s submitted, and always ready to give counsel's opinion. I do not like to think of what happened In casea-where their advice was followed. The laws regarding landlord and ten- ant had for them no secrets. "You Eue him." they would generally say; "that's all you've got to do; sue him. Or else jolly well lock him up. Failing which, your best and wisest plan will be to push his face inl" In a leaser degree they were medical advisers and political experts with in- side knowledge of both subjects denied to ordinary folk. Though they were always ready to give the best informa- tion they possessed, there were mo- ments when their patience was sub- jected to unfair trials. Two Ameri- can women coming on top at Trafalgar Square fired half a dozen questions at their driver before the omnibus start- ed. "Look here, ladies," he said, sending his horses up the hill. "That's the statue of Nelson on the left; St. Mar- tin's Church is here on the right; further on we pass by the Garrick Theatre and Wyndham's. the back en- trance to the Aihambra and the front of the Hippodrome; a bit higher up, If all go&s well, the Palace, and farther on. unless you're suffering from a nasty cold, you'll tell when we go by Crosse & Blackwell's. Halfway up Tottenham Court Road we shall see by the 'elp of Providence Wliitefield'a Tabernacle, and not much then till we get to the Cobden Statue. Higher up are the Britannia and the Adelaide, where we stop and go no further. And," with a flick of the whip, "this is the buo, and them's the 'orses, and I'm the poor blooming driver, and I've got tin- ned lobster for supper, and now you know pretty nigh as much about it all FARM BOYS!

Surnames and Their Origin WINTER Variation â€" Winters. Racial Origin â€" English. Source â€" An occupation. If you jump at the apparent conclu- sion that the origin of ti.is family name Is connected In some manner with the season of the ye^r. you will be wrong. It isn't. As the name traces back to the twelfth and thirteenth centiivii^s it is Mac- i MACLURE Variations â€" McClure. Macleod, Leod. I Racial Origin â€" Norse-Scottish. i Source â€" A given name. It's hard to know whether to class this Highland Scottish name as Scot- , tisii. Norw^egian or Irish, because in a i sense it is e.tch one of them. j Peginning as the old Norse given 1 narae of "LeolU." it became the name 1 of two Highland clans as Macleo*'. was A Lesson from the Hebrew Gramme: r. A man of high character but ordin- ary education was addressing a room- ful uf school children, and he salJ tu them : "All of you know the verb which says, 'I am, than art. he ia'; and all of you know that vert>8 in Engiiiih. I French. German, Italian and Latin run I in that way ; I love, thou lovest, he I loves; or I walk, thou walVest. he I walks. Bui do you know that that ia a very bad way for a verb to run? Do i you know thai the old Hebrew people I arranged their verbs the other way I round: He 1b. thou art, I tm?" Then he added: "Thatis the way to look at life. Say to yourself, looking up to God. "He is'; then look at your neighbor and say, 'You are'; last of all think of yourself and say, 'I am.' First God. then your neighbor, then yourself. That Is the way to think and to live." One who heard this story was so struck by the thought that he could not rest until ho found a Hebrew Sthclar able to tell him whether it real- ly was true that Hebrew verbs are conjugated in thia way. He sought out ii scholar and put his question. "Yes.'" said the scholar, "the Hebrew verb Is conjugated as you say. Why do you ask?" So the other told him what the man had said to the school child- ren. "Goor heavens!" exclaimed the scvholar with radiant face. "I have been studying Hebrew forty years, and never once hag it occuned to me that Hebrew verb.s have that wonderful and beautiful significance!" Ha sat for soifie mom«"ts saying: "He is. thou art. I am How beautiful! Yes, to he sure: He Is. you are, I am. Wonderful, wonderful!" Classified Athrertis ements SALES ""OANIZER WANTED.

Over eighty per cent, of the timber- land In Canada is owned by the Do- minion or provincial governments, and the timber Is disposed of almost en- tirely under licenses to cut over de- finite areas for which an annual ground-rent and a royalty on the tim- ber cut is charged. These licenses are, for the most part, renewable annually, the governments reserving the right to alter the rates of rental or royalty and to ImpoAC such regulations as are deemed expedient. The direct revenue to the federal and provincial govern- ments from the forests amounts to about $12,000,000 annually, of which about $4,500,000 is spsnt In protection and administration. Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she always' keeps a supply on hand, for the first trial convinces her there is nothing to equal them in keeping children well. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and Bweeten^the stomach, thus driv- ing out constipation and indigestion, colds and simple fevers, and miking teething easier. Concerning them. Mrs. Saluste Pelletier. St. Dumas, Que., writes:â€" "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for the past ten years and am never without them in the house.
