THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE. ONT., THURSDAY, OCT. 20, 192L WELL SATISFIED WITH BABY'S OWN TABLETS Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she will use nothing else. Experience teaches her that the Tablets are the very best medicine she can give her baby. They are a gentle laxative; mild but thorough in action and never fail to banish constipation, colic, colds or any other of the many minor ailments of childhood. Concerning them Mrs. J. Bte. Charest, St. Leon, Que., writes:--"My baby cried continually and nothing seemed to help her till I began using Baby's Own Tablets. These Tablets soon set her right and now I would not be without them." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. To Cure Blindness by Engrafting Dogs' Eyes Dr. Koppanyi, of Vienna, who has successfully cured blindness in animals by transplanting eyes, believes that it is possible to restore human sight in the same manner. He believes that by engrafting the eye of an animal, preferably a dog, sight may be restored to blinded humans. He declares that the transplanted eye will rapidly take on the appearance of a human eye and will function normally in all respects. He is asking for volunteers. Bible City Found. What is regarded by many scholars as the most valuable discovery which has yet been made by the archaeologist in Palestine is the location of the its ruins have been found the 'of a synagogue believed to be the very one wherein our Savious preached. For over nineteen hundred years the very site of such an important Bible city as Capernaum has been in dispute. It was thought that it stood at the northern end of the Sea of Galilee at a place called Tell Hum, where there are extensive ruins1. A systematic examination of these, and the discovery of ancient documents, now make it clear that this, indeed, was ancient Capernaum. The ruins of a Jewish synagogue bave been brought to light. Explorers eay this temple stood there in the days of Christ, and is the very building referred to in the Gospels. The position of the stones would indicate that it was destroyed by an earthquake. It is the belief of the excavators that the whole edifice can be reconstructed. Ask for Minard's and take r other. A Quick Turf. method of making turf for ;es with almost miraculous consists in stripping off depth of an inch and a ing it through a feed-cutter, so arranged as to slit the sod into ribbons. The latter are then shredded by hand, leaving a mass of grass roots, which are sown broadcast over ground previously prepared by plowing and harrowing. This accomplished, the ground is rolled, and within three or four weeks the golf course is covered with a fine, thick carpet of grass, without waiting for seed to grow. Qualified.

GOOD HEALTH AND GOOD SPIRITS Depend Upon the Condition of the Blood--Keep it Rich. Red and Pure. When a doctor tells you that you are anaemic, he simply means, in plain English, that your blood is weak and watery. But this condition is one that may easily pass into a hopeless decline if prompt steps are not taken to enrich the blood. Poor blood, weak, watery blood is the cause of headaches and backaches, loss of appetite, poor diges , the, ■algia, In some French rural districts iighty per cent, of the inhabitants mil their own houses. Surnames and Their Origin LESTER Variations--Leicester. Racial Origin--English. 8ource--A locality. .. In virtually every country, with the exception of Ireland, a very large proportion of the family names have been developed from the names of places. Sometimes these were the names of the places over which the family ruled, tut more often, for the bulk of the population naturally fell within the Classification of the ruled rather than the rulers, the names were first used jmerely to indicate the locality from iWhich the persons bearing them had Such names, too, it should be noted, were used only when the persons bearing them actually had left the localities and had settled or were traveling in other parts. It would constitute no differentiation to give a man the name of a place in which he was still living, together with hundreds, or probably thousands, of others. The form Leicester gives a better idea of the source of this family name than Lester, though the latter is by far the more common GROVER Variations--Groves, Graves, Greaves. Racial Origin--Anglo-Saxon. Source--Descriptive, geographically. Grover is one of those family names the descent of which can be traced straight to Anglo-Saxon sources, and one of those of which the origin is plain to the modern eye. It falls within that large classification of surnames which may be fol-lowel back to words denoting topography or character of the country in which the original bearers of the names presumably lived. In modern English the word grove has come to take on the meaning, as commonly used, of a clump of trees, or a park studded with trees. As used by he Anglo-Saxons, however, it meant a road through the woods, and later it naturally took on the meaning of ar avenue lined with trees. The names Grover, Graves and Greaves all come from this source, which dwelt along such of road naturally came to be ommon name. The i distinguished at a very early period s still known as Lei-, by their neighbors by such phrases as cester. it is a borough in England. | "at the grove" and the like which !-The Anglo-Saxons, upon their invasion the reason that and setlement of England, found the place known simply irritability and many other troubles. To poor- blood is due the pimples and blotches, the muddy complexion that disfigures so many faces. To have good health, a good complexion and a cheerful manner, the blood must be kept rich, red and pure. This is easily done through the use of a blood enriching tonic like Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The whole mission of this- medicine Is to help enrich the blood which reaches every nerve and every organ in the body, bringing with it health, strength and new activity. That is why people who occasionally use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills always feel bright, active and strong. Mrs. E. E. Cook, Simcoe, Ont, gives strong testimony to the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills when the blood is in an anaemic condition. She says: "I have been a sufferer for some years from a run down condition of the system. I suffered from pains in the back, twitching of the nervi my appetite was poor, indigestion and would get drowsy after eating. My hands and feet were almost always cold, and though I was constantly doctoring, the medicine I took did not help me. I had practically given up hope of good health, until a friend from Hamilton came to visit me, and urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It took some persuasion, but finally I consented to try them. I have reason to be grateful that I did, for after using seven boxes I felt like a new person. I have gained in weight, have a better color and my work is now a pleasure. For this condition my thanks are due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I cannot praise them too highly." You 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, Out. BIT 1 i fill!

There's a lot ot trouble in the world from puddings that taste good but don't do good. They "eat" well, but that ends the recommendation.

Grape-Nuts is a food that tastes good and does good. The proof of Grape-Nuts begins in the eating and goes on through the splendid service which Grape-Nuts renders as a real food. Grape-Nuts is the perfected goodness of wheat and malted barley --delicious to taste, easy to digest, and exceptionally rich in nourishment for body and brain. "There's a Reason" for Grape-Nuts A Combing Mill Needed. The woollen industry of Canada is a basic industry and should be a dominant factor in the production of wealth for our Canadian people. Sheep raising, when properly encouraged, will be one of the most profitable departments of our agricultural life. The bulk of wool produced in Canada during the past has, through lack of a combing mill, been exported to foreign tries where, after being combed, it has : shipped back to our worsted mills at a greatly increased value. Something like twenty-four million (24,000,000) pounds of wool was grown in Canada last year. This quantity is sufficient to provide for something like eight million (8,000,000) suits of clothes, which would sell for in the neighborhood of Four hundred Million Dollars ($400,000,000). If the various processes of manufact; re were completed in Canada this la ge sum would be set circulating in Canada through thousands of people employed in the combing and spinning of the wool, the weaving of the cloth and the tailoring and selling of the finished product. The establishment in Canada of a wool combing mill would prove a tremendous benefit to the country as a whole and would undoubtedly receive the whole-hearted support of the Dominion and Provincial governments, textile manufacturers and breeders of Wisdom Defined.

"Just a week before I started taking Tanlac I was down in bed so crippled up with rheumatism I could not move without pain. My son had taken Tanlac, and it had done him a world of good, so one day he brought home a bottle and said, "Mother, I want you to take this." When I had that bottle, I felt like a different woman, and by the time I had finished my second bottle, I was out in the garden hoeing. "Tanlac has simply done wonders for me; it almost seems like a miracle." This is the remarkable statement made recently by Mrs. Jennie Root, residing at 1409 Powers St., Portland, Oregon, and is only one of tens of thousands from well-known men and women who are daily testifying to the powers of Tanlac. Continuing her wonderful statement, Mrs. Root said, "For years I suffered terribly with rheumatism, and would often be down in bed for days at a time. In the last five years there was not a time that I didn't feel those rheumatic pains all through my body. About two months ago I got very much worse and my arms and legs were so bad I was almost helpless and couldn't even hold a pen to sign my name. I was so weak I could not do any housework. I couldn't even sleep, and had no rest day or night. Even to walk a few steps would tire me out completely. When I tried, to walk a little way and sat down I could not get up without some one helping me. I had no appetite and hardly ate enough to keep me alive. I could not stoop over far enough to get my shoes on. : never knew what a night's sleep , and would lie awake for hours, times I would get very cold and Id have to get up and sit by the fire all huddled up, and my daughters would put hot water bottles all around me. I was treated by four doctors, MRS. JENNIE ROOT and took all kinds of medicine. Nothing ever did me any good. I am just a different person now. All those terrible aches and pains have left me, and only the other day I was able to walk up four flights of stairs in an office building when the elevator was t of order. "My appetite is just splendid now, and just to-day for the first time in years, I felt so hungry that I had to , go and eat a piece of pie between meals. In fact, I can't remember the time that I have felt as well as I do now. I have not only regained my health and strength, but I have gained fourteen pounds in weight. To tell you the truth, I wouldn't exchange the benefit I have received from Tanlac for the best ranch in Oregon, and I will praise it as long as I live." Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere. Adv. Abbreviated Verse. A woman of 12 st. 8 ozs.
