THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT.. THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1921. 7 Advertising is News Without advertisements, this paper would not be as Interesting to you, because the Information about goods for sale In the stores Is news--Just that. Many people read newspapers as much for their advertising columns as they do for other This Is particularly true at this time of the year. Stores are now advertising Spring Wearing Apparel and a host of things that are bought for household use incident to spring cleaning. Think of the money that will be spent by women for spring clothing. The new frocks, hats, shoes, lingerie, corsets, gloves, sweaters, neckwear, light wraps and blouses that will be bought. The same is true of men's buying. Think of the suits, light top coats, hats, shirts, collars, ties, gloves, socks, shoes--the sporting goods and the incidental wearing apparel bought for golf, tennis, and so on. Think of the new things that will be bought for spring cleaning and home convenience at this time. The vacuum cleaners, carpet sweepers, brooms, gas and electric heaters, ranges, washing machines, paints, varnishes, floor wax, cleansing fluids, curtains, upholstery, garden and porch furniture, lawn mowers, garden Think of the lighter foods coming Into use. Cereals, fruits, salads. All these new demands are Incident to the changing season, and they all are Trade Stimulating. People feel livelier at this time and consequently loosen up their purse strings. The opportunity for local merchants to get over effective Local Advertising News at this time is so evident that It needs no emphasis. We Have Too Many Brains. The world war gave unprecedented opportunities for the study of injuries There were instances in which individual fighting men lost as much as a teacupful of brain substance without impairment of their mental faculties. Extraordinary! The reason is not easy of explanation. But apparently nature provides us with more brain material than we need to think with, and we can spare quite a bit of it without serious consequences, unless some essential structure he entirely destroyed. One thing the brain will not endure is compression. In childhood the skull may be squeezed all out of shape without harmful results. The Plat-head Indians do that, and so do aboriginal peoples in other parts of the world. But even a clot of blood, due to cerebral hemorrhage, is liable to cause paralysis, and local pressure of a bone may render a person insane. Theres is no more uplifting habit than that of bearing a hopeful attitude, of believing that things are going to turn out well and not ill; that we are going to succeed and not fail; that no matter what may or may not happen, we are going to be happy. WOULD NOT BE WITHOUT nwn OWN TABLETS Mrs. W. Beesley, Mille Roche, Ont., writes: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for the past eight months and would not be without them. I used them for indigestion and teething and my baby is cutting his teeth without any trouble whatever. I can highly recommend the Tablets to other '• mothers." What Mrs. Beesley says ] thousands of other mothers say. The j Tablets are a mild but thorough laxa-I tive which regulate the bowels and ! sweeten the stomach, thus driving out | constipation and indigestion and mak-' ing teething easy.

Bird Invented First Incubator. j The first and original incubator seems to have been the clever in tion of an Australian bird of large size called the "brush turkey.' saves the fowl a great deal of time and trouble. The hen turkey lays her "clutch" of eggs :n a neat circle, and then she and her mate scratch togeth pile of leaves and other forest trash to cover them. Decomposition of this vegetable material produces whereby the eggs are kept at proper temperature for incubation. From time to time the male bird gives the heap a scratching over, as if to make sure that the temperature developed is neither too high nor too low. He does not permit the newly hatched young ones to emerge, however, until they are fully fledged and able to take care of themselves. Then he helps them to g< Credit dying. by lying is quick Surnames and Their Origin SPENCER Variation--Spenser. Racial Origin--English. Source--A title of office. One of the most peci about the social e of the Normans which occupatior look upon a id military system I the i • in i which to-day we i humble, household e exalted into titled offices. The answer, of course, is that in those days each feudal castle, the social unit of all who were not tillers of the soil, was, though a single "household," a small nation in itself, largely independent and owing vassalage to counts and kings only as a unit. Thus the keeper of the "family" purse was in reality the "secretary of the treasury," and the he^d of the household kitchen was the commissary-general. The "despenser" or despencer," under the feudal custom of the Normans, was the officer responsible for the "buttery" or food warehouse of the castle, an office of great responsibility in days when sieges were laid, often not to be lifted for months or even years. This title, however, when coupled with the word "le" (the), as of course it was, soon became too clumsy even for the Norman tongue, with the result that it did not take many generations before the more common form of the word was "spencer" or "spen-ser." There were many, many castles BEVERLEY Racial Origin--Anglo-Saxon or Nor- Source--A locality. ' This family name quite clearly belongs in the classification of those which have been derived from the names of places, for it is traceable through the early documents with the prefixed "de," meaning of. It is paradoxical that the smaller communities in all lands have given more family names than the big centres of population. The reason for this is, in the first place,' tha": the people flocked from the small communities, where there was not so great a need for additional names, to the big centres, where there was not only such need, but where the mention of a small place served the purpose of differentiation quite accurately. In the second place, the big communities gave rise to comparatively few family names because it constituted little differentiation to speak of "Roger de London," when there were thousands to be found all over the country. Authorities differ as to the origin of the place name of Beverly, which is in Yorkshire. Some derive it from "belvoir" (beautiful view) and "lev," a meadow or field. It is more probable, however, that the place already had been named by the Anglo-Savons as "Veverlac," or beaver-lake.

There is a proverb, in a land where it is always summer, that says: "It is easier to sit than to stand--and easier to lie down than to sit." The prevalence of that philosophy means that the people of that land are imperfectly civilized. They are in a state of arrested development. They are scratching flea-bites or sleeping in the shade or imbibing strong waters when they ought to be planting, digging wells, making roads and building houses. A Swiss who visited these people said: "What they need is a winter," Thoreau observed: "A man sits as many risks as he runs." Whole nations, like individual men, may close -their eyes and let a great chance go by. Sometimes it goes by with a loud noise; sometimes it passes in silence. But it does not stay. In any successful business the man who is valued, the man who is put In a place of command, is the man who sees and seizes chances. He reaches out and grabs them. Or he is like a hunter waiting in a thicket, ready to shoot. If he isn't ready--and if he doesn't shoot--somebody else will bag the In this world you are or you aren't --you do or you don't.

We are concerned with now, not then, Concentration on the business Ir hand, to the exclusion of other things past, present and to come, is the main spring of many a fruitful endeavor.

TORONTO A SPLENDID TONIC FOR WEAK PEOPLE Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Act on the Blood and Nerves. Food is as important to the sick person as medicine, more so in many cases. A badly chosen diet may retard recovery. In health the natural appetite is the best guide to follow; in sickness the appetite is often fickle and depraved. Williams' Pink Pills are a fine tonic medicine, harmless and certain in their action, which is to build up the blood and restore vitality to the rundown system. For growing girls who are thin and pale, for pale, tired women, and for old people who fail in strength, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an ideal tonic. Thousands have testified to the benefit derived from the use of this medicine, among them is Mrs. William Gallie, Hantsport, N.S., who says: "Before I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was so weak and run down that I could hardly do my own work. I often suffered from headaches and was very ner-:. I then began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I can truthfully say I have found them the best medicine I have ever taken. You may depend upon it I will advise other sufferers to take these pills." >u can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Clean Up. The reporter from the local paper called at the home of the bride's parents the day after the wedding. The bride's mother met him at the 'Good morning, Mrs. Brown," said the journalist. "I have called to get some details of the wedding." 'Oh, pshaw! that's too bad!" replied the matron in dismay. "They're all gone. You ought to have come last night. They ate up every bit!" Joseph's Jelly. Little Joseph was eating luncheon with his aunt. Presently she observed that he was eating his jelly with a spoon. "Joseph," said she, "you must not eat your jelly with a spoon."

I Surprise was expressed in | quarters recently at ment that the Prince of Wales is not to start a racing stable, but the fact of the matter is that he cannot afford to do so at the present time, says an English newspaper. His income is a comparatively limited one--far smaller than most people imagine, and he has so many calls upon his purse that at times he has to consider the matter of expenditure very carefully indeed. Almost the whole of his income is derived from the Royal Duchy of Cornwall, and last year the sum of $210,000 was paid into his banking account from this source. Out of this, however, he makes a substantial annual contribution for the maintenance of his sister and younger brothers, who receive no money whatever from the State, but are supported solely by the King and the Prince of Wales out of their respective incomes. Owing to the way in which King George invested the income from the Duchy of Cornwall during the Prince's minority he enjoys a comfortable income, but this is all earmarked long before it reaches him. It was for this reason that he decided some time ago to dispose of a considerable portion of his estates in South London, and it is possible that a great proportion of the money so raised will go to endow his sister and brothers. In addition to the incdme the Prince of Wales receives from the ready mentioned, he receives the pay of his rank as Colonel of the Welsh Guards, and this may be said to be all that he possesses. It may be pointed out, too, that pays taxes in precisely the same m ner as any private individual, while he is even rated for the portion of St. James's Palace he occupies, though this is purely an "act of grace" upon his part, and he could claim exemption on the ground that this is a Royal palace.

Britain's Oldest Industry. Ten thousand years ago our ances tors made arrow heads, spear heads, a id knives of flint at Brandon, on the bj>rders of Suffolk and Norfolk. Flint-knapping is still carried on at I^randon. The town became famous for the ind as long as the Army with flint-locks, Brandon was the chief source of supply. Workers there are still en-gaged in making them, for flint-lock guns are not all dead or buried in museums-. There are thousands still being made and tens of thousands still in use in West Africa, the Hudson Bay Territory, and other remote parts of the world. The Arabs use a big flint-lock blunderbuss which is made in Birmingham. All the flints are made by hand. Usually two men work together. One takes a lump of flint and, resting it upon his padded thigh, beats it with little hammers so that^it falls apart in little slips, which he drops in a pail of water. The other sits at a table in front of a tiny anvil, armed with a chisel shaped like a hammer. He takes the flints and chilis and trims them with his chisel until they are oblong and perfectly rectangular, with their narrow ends fined down to They were engaged, and in one cosy armchair they were discussing, when they were not busy with' other things, arrangements for the future.
