.r WHEN THE NERVES • ARE OUT^OF GEAR They Need New. Rich Bhwd to Restore Their Tone. Men and women with nerves out of gear become irritable and fretful and are blamed for ill-temper; whereas the fault is not theirs. Their poor health is the cause. The tired, over- busy wife or mother, whose household cares have worn her out; the bread- winner whose anxiety -for his family has worried him until he is thin and ni, are the nerve sufferers who become run down. Their nerves, ilke all bodily organs, need healthy red blood; worry tells on their digestion and their nerves are ill-fed. In such cases a course of* Dr. Williams' Pink Pills la necessary, for these pills make new blood and tone up the nervous system. The patient becomes full of energy and happiness for themselves and others returns. Mrs. Wm. Hughes, Cold- water, Ont., has proved the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Fills, and does not hesitate to say so. She says: â€" "Two years tigo I suffered untold agonies with my nerves. The pains in my head and the back of my neck were unbear- able. I was depressed and cranky all the time. All the rest I took and best of medical attention did me no good. 1 was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink I'llls and after taking them for a time felt much, better. I continued their use with great benefit, and after my l.aby was born they were the only tonic that helped me nurse her. I found them. a splendid blood enricher, rmd cannot recommend them too hlgh- 1/."

A' Name to Suit the Case, The ease with which many of the recent accessions to the population change their names is illustrated by the following true anecdote. The teacher In a public school be- came £0 Interested In a little Polish girl that she was anxious to learn of her progress- after she was promoted to a higher grade and asked her new teacher concerning her. There !» no such child in my room," answered the one so questioned-. "No Marie L.evenski! Why! I know that she was sent to your room, for I asked about it at the time." "There is no Marie Levenakl in my room. I am very sure," persisted the other. "But I have seen h€r go in the door, and there she Is now," darting as she spoke toward a small girl approaching from the opposite direction. "Isn't your name Marie Levenski?" she de- manded. "It used to be, but now it Is Mary Jone3," was the calm reply. "Mary Jones! How can that be?" "Why, father buys and sells old Junk, and one day there was a door plate with the thing.s^ and the name on it was Jones. Nobody would buy it, so we put it on our door, and now my came is Mary Jones." «• A reporter in search of a "human interest" story asked a number of successful bankers and business men how they made their first thousand dollars. One of them replied that he didn't make it in any particular way. "It was like the old negro cook's hash," he said. "Some one asked^her how she made hash. 'Bless you, missus,' she replied, 'nobody makes hash. It Just accumulates.' " But you can't get hash unless you save the materials as they accumulate, and you can't get your thousand dollars unless you steadily saved some of the money that you earn. It U quite true tltat AMtnJla has the tall^t trees in the world, but they ! are not in Victoria, huge as are the . Otppsland gume and the giant pines of | Capl tOtway. The real super trees are to be found In Western Australia, down in the south-west corner of the con- , tinent. They are the giant flowering eucalyptus, growing on and adjacent to , the shores of Lake Alexander; and i they were discovered about 1896 by '. Chief Surveyor F. S. Brocknian, of the ' Lands Department, Perth, when he was ' c-xploring the Geographe Peninsula un- der instructions from John Forrest! (then Premier of Western Australia),! who wanted to ascertain how - much first-cla.is laud there was available in the "good rainfall" region. Brockman | brought back with him some of. the | splendid scarlet flowers of these i giants, also some seeds. He took ac- curate measurements also, and found one tree, the King of the Forest, going 147 feet up sheer, without a bough, and | 537 feet to the topmost boughs and | crown! The diameter of some of the | trees exceeded 16 feet; and the Chief Surveyor, who was also a most care- ful and conscientious man, reckoned that they could not be le£s than 3,000 years old. It is said that there are trees older than that in the world; there may be, but there are none tall- er that I ever heard of, though in the valley of the Amazon, Roosevelt said he had seen trees as big as th* giant redwoods of California. In making hia report to the then Surveyor-General (H. F. Johnston), Brockman said that these trees, from a distance looked like a scarlet tapestry, spread below the hills." It would be vastly interest- ing to know whether any similar king trees exist in our own country. A lot of it is still terra incognita. CREAM We supply cans and charges.

In her most Interesting biography, John Keats, published' only a few months before her death, Miss Amy Lowell tells once more the ever-touch- ing story of the great English poet's sickness and death in Rome, tended only by his faithful friend, the artist, Joseph Severn. In a strange city, among a people terrified at the word consumption, and with no proper con- { gooseberries ditlons or skilled nursing available, ' gloom ; even had they not been straightened formoney, there were times when poor Severnâ€" keeping as much of his worry and exhaustion from the invalid as he couldâ€" scarcely knew which way to turn or how to drive himself to do all that he must. But he never for a mo- ment failed his friend. He cooked, he cleaned, he swept, he tended, he watch- ed, with a heart-broken courage and patience that have given him a finer and firmer hold on remembrance and gratitude than the best achievements of his brush. Keats would occasionally refuse food. Severn would sometimes prepare his meals six times over, in the hope of tempting his appetite, keeping Every mother hopes that her child will be a model child, and some secret- ing miles, shaking the shack like bombs.

Surnames and Their Origin ABRAM. Racial Origin â€" English. Source â€" A locality. One history of the family name of Abram han been discussed In a pre- vious article. It Is the obvious and in- deed by far the most common origin. But there is another. Tie family name of Abram is not al- wa}.t a contracted form of the Biblical glv. h name of Abraham. It you win take down your atlas and j •oaf S\ diligently the map of England, ipec^ilcally in Lancashire, you will find : R liti-s town which bears this name. U-fi"U are the successive steps. Ad- , bursliam was originally pronounced j with the 'gh" somewhat like the sound «-hich the modern German gives to ,"ch." It was an aspirate somewhat i RINGQOLD. Racial Originâ€" Welsh. Source â€" A locality. Here is a family name calculated to throw you on the wrong track at once. Superficial consideration would class- ify it as probably of Anglo-Saxon or general Teutonic origin, a combination of the two words which have given us our modern words "ring" and "gold," and the former of which was used In very early Saxon days to mean "money" (rings being used then as cur- rency ) . But the surname of "Ring-gold" has nothing to do either with "ring" or "gold." It was not originally an Eng- lish or Teutonic word. It was Cymric. or Welsh, or did it designate any kind sheer exhaustion. Fearing that some night the candle might burn out while he slept and Keats wake In darknasa, he one evening tried the experiment of fastening a thread from the bottom of one candle to the wick of another. Keats awoke Just as the first candle was guttering out, and while he waited, not liking to call Severn, the thread Ignited and successfully bore the fiame to the second candle, at which Keats suddenly cried out: "Severn! Severn! Here's a little fairy lamplighter actually lit up the other candle!" The candle that It lit was more than one of wax; for more than a century its glow has lighted a picture of the dying poet's grateful surprise, and his friend's tender and faithful service. How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in world. a naughty have no drug taste and children them. Mrs. Mary L. Darnel, Central Falls, R.I., says: "Baby's Own Tablets are Just what they are recommended to be. My little girl was badly troubled with pin worms, was feverish and restless and would be awake all night. I got a box of Baby's Own Tablets and they helped her at once. She Is not nervous now and sleeps well at night. I have never used a better medicine for this trouble. I have also found Baby's Own Tablets good at teething time and am glad to recommend them to other mothers." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by all druggists or will be mailed on receipt of price, 25 cents per box, by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.. Brockville, Ont. A little booklet, "Care of the Baby in Health and Sickness," will be sent free to any mother on request. the cover in at night is more Intimate than the one which corrects the arith- metic paper! Of course the conscientious mother 1 teaches her child honesty, kindliness, I charity, thrift, good manners and many other details of good character and breeding. But the model child is not i conscious of such teaching, the model ' mother teaches by example. Children, being extremely imitative naturally, observe and copy whatever is close at hand. The model mother does not say, ' j "Respect your elders," she goes out of i her way, herself, to show deference to ' the grandparents, and the children un- ' conscious.ly take the cue in their man- , ners toward old age. If a mother's voice is sweet and gentle, children are tar less likely to snarl at each other. If she is scrupu- lous about paying bills and giving everyone his due, the model child like- wise scorns to cheat When a mother permits no waste in the kitchen, keeps clothes neatly mended, brushed and cleaned, the model child, though he does not be- come faultless at once â€" this is too much to expect â€" has nevertheless the Idea of thrift and orderliness very firm- ly fixed for the rest of his life. Children, of course, need direction and advice, which can be suggested in a friendly, tactful way. But the model child is really the result of a model mother â€" for about all "Children need models rather than critics." â€" Marion Brownfleld.

A King's Simplicity. You may remember that, during the war, King George cut down his wine list to a minimum and lived on the very simplest fare: In setting this ex- ample during a time of need he was not really departing greatly from his normal tastes, for he Ukes homely diet and prefers simplicity at meals to os- tentation. When he strolls to Sandrlngham House from York Cottage to have a meal with his mother, he is always dis- tressed if a special dish is prepared for him. One day, when he dropped In to lunch and an extra item was added at the eleventh hour, he exclaimed : "Why should all this fuss be made, :JuBt because I come to lunch?" All the same, if ever the King con- descended to visit my house, I should not be able to resist the Impulse to pro- vide an extra course or two. And I would see that the fish course did not Include plaice. This is the only fish King George does not enjoy. Youthful Ideals. Some of us achieve our ambitions. One day, when Lord Oxford and As- qulth was a boy, he handed a list of M.P's. with their constituencies to Sir William Barrett, and csked to be exam- ined on the subject. He passed the test with flying colors, but Sir William inquired what possible use this test could be. "To help me when I enter Parlia- ment," was the reply. "I am going to Oxford, then to the Bar. and, when I have made enough money, into Parlia- ment. Then I shail get into ofl3ce un- der the Liberal Government and be- I come Solicitor-General. After that I , shall be Lord Chancellor or Prime Minister â€" one or the other.' Ask for Mlnard's and take no other. Nothing cools love so rapidly as a hot temper.
