RHEUMATIC PEOPLE CAN FIND RELIEF By Enriching Their Blood With Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Rheumatism attacks people when the bloot; is clogged wil;h impurities, thus sotting up an inflammation ot the muscles and Joints. Cold or wet weather may start the tortures ot rheumatism, but it Is not the cause, as was once supposed. The cause is thin or impure blood. Rubbing with lini- ments or applying hot applications may give relief, but that Is all; the pains are soon back again. You must treat the trouble through the blood to get rid of it The value of Dr. Wll- liama' Pink Pills in cases ot this kind Is proved by the following statement. Miss Margaret M. Cullen, writing on behalf of her grandmother, Mrs. A. McEwen, Ormstown, Que., says: â€" "My grandmother, now 85 years of age, was. Borne years a^o, a great sufferer from rheumatism. She tried many reme- dies, but found none that did her any good until she began using Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. These she used for some months until every trace of rheumatism disappeared. Since then she has taken the pills at intervals, and they have kept her in the best of health. It is marvellous how well and active my grandmother Is. She cooked the dinner for the threshers last fall, and she gives the credit for her good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She Is anxious that her experience with this splendid medicine be given tor the benetit of others." It you ai-e suffering from any trou- 1 le due to poor or watery blood Dr. WUllama' Pink PlUs will help you.

This unique building stands on a tiny Island on the borders of Vermont and New Hampshire. Although the building was once used as a dweUIng-house, it is now given up entirely to dancing.

All the advertlslus la the world and all the sal(;s efforts combined eoald not haya made the great iuccms for TANLAC that hoa been atUlLed, nn- leaa this reconstructive tonic poaaesa- ed merit of the greatest degree. Over 40 Million Bottles of Tanlac have been •old and the demand to-day is greater than ever before. That TANLAC irassesses merit and baa brought relief to hundreds of thou.sands of persons is attested by the great number of testimonials that have been received by the company from people in every state of the Onion and every province of Canada, There are over 100,000 such statements on flle with the company, all ringing with sin- cere praise tor TANLAC and wliAt It luuk accompllsbed. Here are excerpts from a tew of the 100,000 statements on file: Mrs. Edward Gibbs. Lancaster, Pa. â€" "For 2 years indigestion deprived me of nearly all the pleasure of living. If it had not been tor TANLAC I would still be a sick and discouraged woman, tor nothing else seemed to do me any good." Mrs. Mary A. Benson, Seattle, Wash.: "Following an operation my stomach and nerves fieemed to give way and I became almost helpless. As a last re- sort I tried TANLAC. I began to im- prove from the very first, gained !9 lbs., and to-day am feeling fine." \ O. B. Moore, Kansas City, Mo.: "My stomach seemed to pain me conaXant- ly, food seemed to do me no good, I would bloat up with gas. lost my I strength, and oould not sleep or rest I was on the down-grade all the time. Tanlac corrected my troublaa end put me in excellent shape." I I Thomas Lucas, Peterboro. Ontario: : ••Well, air, buying TANLAC was ths 1 best investment I ever made, for it built up my health and strength to I where I haven't a complaint in the ' world." j I Mr. and Mrs. Joseph B. Kaake, De-j itrolt Mich.: "For more than a yearj ' our three children, age 2, 4 and 8, had been bo peaked and llfelesa that we were worried about them.

He saw something which was not hint, •elf, but which muct be ao cloeeiy r»- lated to himself that there wa* no joke In tt. What la known a« armpathetlc magic always regarded a close oonuoc- tlon aa existing between a person and his "counterfeit presentment." We know better now, but who is there who can eee a looking glase accidentally broken without experiencing a secret feeling ot uneasineee? The smashing of the mirror destroys tlie reflected Image â€" hie counterfeit self or a surface wiilch ha« borne It aa It has also borne the Imagee ot other members of bis family. There- fore he himself, or some member of his family, whispers the lingering voice of despised, forgotten, but in- herited belief In sympathetic magic, is in danger. All of which' accounts for the superstition that It you break a looking-glass there will be a death la the family within the year. Take Tanlac Vegetable Pille. Surnames and Their Origin BAYARD. Variation* â€" Balrd, Beard, Bird, Racial Origin â€" English. Source â€" A nickname. Here Is a family name derived from an adjective which to-diay Is applied almost exclus.lvely to ho;-^jes. but which In the Middle Ages wus in rath- 'er wide usage, denoting a color. To-diay you'd hardly refer to a "bay" dress or a "bay" complexion, though you would speak of a "bay" horse. Fifty years from now the word may die completely, unless the horse flnda a new excuse for existence and avoids the doom with which the automobile is threatening him. The medieval English for "bay" waa "bayard." A man might have been called "Roger le Bayard" or "Udo le Bayard" either from the color of his hair, the general impression of his complexion, or perhaps from the color of the cloth- ing which he uscally wore. Balrd is a fairiy usual contraction of Bayard, though the family name of Balrd does not in all instances trace back to tlie other. Likewise Beard and Bird are often logical develop- ments, though, particularly in the case of Bird, it does not follow that Bayard is always the original form of the name. SKINNER Racial Origin â€" English. Source â€" An occupation. There Is a wealth of knowledge to be gained through a study of nomen- clature ot the Industrial as well aa of the social conditions in England dur- ing the Middle Ages. Virtually every occupation of any importance In that period has been I preserved to us in one or more tajnily i names, and It you find an occupaitlon or profesBlon which has not so been oommemorated, it la only because the occupation did not exis't at the period of family nam.e formation, or because It is known to-day by a comparatively modem term. Thus we have no fam- ily names "Dootor" or "Physician," I though we do have "Leech." We have no family name "Automanufacturer," though we have "Cartwrlght." Tanning and leatliermaklng, how- ever, were among the most Important industries of Medieval England, like the various branches of the textile In- dustry, particularly those handling woollen fabrics. "Le Skynnere" ("the skinner") was quite naturally the surnajne moet of- ten conferred by his- neighbors on the man who made his living by stripping skins from the carcasses ot aJiimals. God's Little Things. I love the litUe thing* of God â€" The loamy acent of treah-tumed aod, The fieecy white clouds in the sky. The paeelng ot the south winds by.
