STERI REMINDERS : RHEUMATISM The Trou ie Must be Treated Thr ugh the Blood. Every rheumatic sufferer should ^ realize that rheumatism Is rooted In | the blood an-d that to get rid of it it j must be treated through the blood. ] The old belief that rheumatism was ' caused by cold, damp weather, is now i exploded. Such weather conditions may start the palne, but it Is not the cause. Liniments and outward appll- j cations may give temporary relief, but j that Is all they can do because they do | not reach its sources in the blood. The 1 sufferer from rheumatism who experi- ments with outward applications Is only wasting time and money In de- pending upon such treatment; the trouble still remains, and it is all the time becoming more firmly rooted. .Treat this disease through the blood 'and you will soon find relief. Dr. Wll- Jlam' Pink Pills act directly on im- pure weak blood; they purify and strengthen it, and so act on the cause j of the rheumatism. Mr. P. J. Mac- ' Pherson, R.R. No. 5, Cardigan, P.E.I., | ,'tays: "About three years ago I was! Attacked with rheumatism. I began 'taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and soon the trouble disappeared and I am In better health than before. I also know of an old lady acquaintance who was badly crippled with rheu- matism in her arms and legs, and who suffered very much. She, too, took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and is now ble to do her housework. I tell you this in the hope it may be of benefit to some other sufferer." You can procure Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or they will be sent you by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing direct to The Dr. Will lams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Out. British Leaders Appeal for League. A public letter signed by Premier Lloyd George, Herbert Asqulth, Lord Grey, Lord Robert Cecil, John Robert Clynes and Sir Hubert Gough, repre- senting nearly all political factions, makes a stirring appeal for funds to carry on the work of the League of Nations Union, says a London des- patch. It says that without consider- able donations the league must cur- tall many of its activities. The ap- peal is for a million pounds, or "Just the cost for maintaining one capital ship for a year." The letter goes on to say that "if the world will but rally to the League of Nations a substantial reduction in armaments will be possible. We shall save the million pounds many times over In taxation, to say nothing of what we will gain in security and hap- piness." Substitute for Tea. The active principle of tea Is "thein." That of coffee Is- caffeine. But caf- feine and thelne are exactly the same thing. This agreeably stimulating alkaloid la found in other plants one of which grow wild and plentifully in the South Atlantic States, where it la called "yaupou," or sometimes "Christmas- berry tree." The Indians brewed a beverage from the leaves of the yaupon long be- fore the tlrst white man landed on this continent; and during the Civil War it was used as a substitute for tea by people in the South. The U.S. Government Plant Bureau is experimenting with it, In the belief that the leaves, when properly cured after the manner of tea, will furnish a palatable cup at a much less cost.

The chief mechanical engineer of an English railroad has recently per- fected and put Into operation a device which serves the double purpose of providing railway carriages with a buffing appliance and an interlocking arrangement which will maintain the alignment of a train and prevent the telescoping of the carriages. The buf- fers are designed vrtth working and re- serve stroke springs of five tons and fifteen tons each, giving an ordinary resistance of twenty tons per buffer. Should the impact be still greater, the bolts which resist the springs are de- signed to break away at about tifty tons pressure pr buffer and the cor- rugated fenders to become engaged. These tenders are designed not only to prevent vehicles mounting each other, but also to preserve the alignment and absorb the shock. Surnames and Their Origin FREEMONT Racial Origin Norman-French. Source A locality. There are two versions ns to what the real meaning of the name of Free- moat te, but virtually all authorities are agreed that the family name, as uch. is but an English development of the place name of Framont in Trance. Whether thla place was named "franc-moat" ("free-mount") is a mat- ter that Is open to debate with the chances somewhat in favor of the (former argument as fitting in better with what Is known of the motives and habits of early European popula- tions In the development of their place names. In any event tho name was brought to England In the Norman Invasion and settlement In that country. Thts period of English history was responsible for the development of many family names. The Norman Army was gathered together from all parts of Northern France, with the re- sult that in such a gathering of In- divldauls from different communities surnames referring to the place from which the individual had come natural- ly proved the easiest method of dis- tinguishing him from other men of. the same given name. DENNI3ON i Variations Dennisson, Dennis, Denis, Denison. Racial Origin English. Source A given name. There Is really little about this family name that requires explana- tion, except, perhaps, the given name from which it is derived, that of Denla or Dennis. One of the Latin, and more ancient- ly Greek, names for the god of wise was "Dionysius," and the Romans car- ried it as a given name into the Celtic provinces of North-western Europe, which they conquered. It became a Christian name, and even when the Roman Empire fed'l before the con- quests of the Teutonic tribes it sur- vived, to appear in changed form In the new languages wnich sprang up In what Is now France through the combination of the original Celtic with the Roman and finally the Teutonic blood. The change was great. It had j simply become shortened to Denis. I It was taken to England by the Nor- mans. The form Dennis is a later Eng- ! lish development. The family name, of course, was I originally a surname denoting the ! parentage- of the persona who bore It, His Hearing Restored. The invisible ear drum invented by A. 0. Leonard, which is a miniature megaphone, fitting Inside the ear en- tirely out of sight, is restoring the hearing of hundreds of people in New York City. Mr, Leonard Invented this drum to relieve himself of deafness and head noises, and it does this so successfully that no one could tell he !s a deaf man. It is effective when deafness la caused by catarrh or by perforated, or wholly destroyed natur- al drums. A request for Information to A. O.

The Air Service of the U.S. War De- partment lias developed a new and peculiar kind of clock, to be carried on airplanes. It is "built like a watch," having a watch movement, and is wound by electricity, being connected with a small storage butttery. Hitherto it has been found difficult to get a clock to do satisfactory work on a plane. The vibration made the timepiece unreliable, and Its accuracy was further affected by changes of temperature with altitude. The new clock, thanks to certain "compensation" arrangements, keeps good time at any temperature from 90 below zero to 150 above, and vibra- tion does not bother it. Tests made by the Bureau of Standards have given it a full indorsement. and as there were many by the name of Denis in English, the surname "Dennisson" naturally sprang up in unrelated cases.
