THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT.. THURSDAY, DEC.«. 1921. 7 RHEF 'TIC PAINS HAVT DISAPPEARED As a Result of Treating the Trouble Through the Blood. The chief symptom of rheumatism is pain. The most successful treatment is the one (hat most quickly relieves and banishes the pain. Many rheumatic people suffer pains that could be avoided by building up the blood; when rheumatism is associated with thin blood it cannot be corrected until the blood ;:s built up. A DANISH COLONY IN WESTERN CANADA NEAR TOWN OF STANDARD, SOUTH ALBERTA. Interesting Account of a Highly Successful and Prosperous Settlement of Hardy Danes.

Mr. Hall says: "I was taken down with rheumatism, and at times was under the treatment of several of the best doctors in Cape Breton, but they held out no hope for my recovery from the trouble. I was confined to bed for three years and a helpless cripple from the trouble. I could e, and had to be turned in My legs and fingers were ut of shape, and sores devel-n my body as the result of my mfinement in bed. I was in this i condition when a friend advised the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I began taking them. The first benefit I felt from the pills was an improved appetite, and then I began to feel stronger, and was finally able to get out of bed and go about on crutches. I continued taking pills for months, slowly but surely getting new strength, and finally I was able to lay the crutches aside. I will alwaj's be lame, as the result of my long stay in bed my left leg has shortened somewhat, but otherwise I am feeling fine and able to do my work as Fishery Overseer. I may add that when the rheumatism came on I weighed 140 pounds, and when I began going about on crutches I only weighed 67 pounds, and now I am at normai weight. There are many here who know and can vouch for the truth of these statements." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Mammoths Were Starved. Many of the mammoths found frozen in Siberia have broken bones or show signs of other injuries, suggesting that they were killed by landslides or falls into crevasses. It has long been accepted as fact that those huge proboscidians were specially fitted by nature to withstand severe cold. But a newly published - Smithsonian report offers a different theory. The idea it advances is that in the days when the mammoths flourished in Siberia and Northern America the climate of those latitudes was comparatively mild. It was a great invasion of cold that destroyed them. If they had been able to migrate southward into warmer regions, they might have survived even to the present time; but, as it happened, they succumbed to low temperature. An incidental effect of the change of climate was to impoverish the vegetation on which they relfc-d for food. Cold rains converted then bristly fur into cloaks of ice. They starved and j stuirdy Danish-American farmer d they passed condit: When they perished, were such that their u,l» mediately froze solid, and in that state doubt then they are found to-day--the most remarkable example of cold storage on record, inasmuch as not fewer than 150,000 years have passed since the beasts died. The tusks of the mammoth were huge, even out of proportion to the size of the animal, and so curved that in many individuals the tips were directed sidewlse or backward. Thus they could not have been efficient as weapons, and it is hard to imagine what use they really served. tatives of these races in the guard of settlement in Western Canada, in which especially Danes have taken a prominent part. The Danish people, due to the limited area of agricultural land in the country of their birth, are keenly appreciative of the value of land and its proper cultivation; indeed, they are very good judges of soil and agricultural conditions and make few mistakes in selecting locations for settlement, and where they settle together and follow agricultural pursuits prosperous farming communities scon develop. Individual Danish farmers have located in various parts of the Prairie Provinces of Canada and cases-, where the first families settled a few years ago, very fine settlements of these thrifty agriculturists have sprung up. Markerville, Alberta, an early successful Danish settlement in a dairy and mixed farming district, named after Mr. C. P. Marker, the first Danish settlers there, who is now Dairy Commissioner for Alberta, and the Innisfail district, may be mentioned. The latter district has become noted for its dairy products owing to the fact that in their homeland the Danish settlers soon discovered the advantages of dairy farming and it was not long before a good creamery was in operation at Innisfail, creating a staple industry and a regular income to the settlers, and through the maintenance of a good numbe- of stock and careful cultivation of the land, a very solid farming community has been established. An Outstanding Example of Success. Probably the most outstanding example of Danish pioneering and agricultural success, however, is that of the Danish, settlement at Standard, Alberta. It was in 1909 that J. H. Myrthu and Jens Rasmussen first heard of the fertile- lands of Western Canada, and whilst they were farming ■priced land in Western Iowa, where their ancestors had pioneered before then, they were beginning to feel the call of the Canadian Northwest. Then the desire to investigate the opportunities in the Canadian West grew into a determination and crystalized in the spring of the year when these two prominent farmers decided to make a trip to Canada. After travelling ever various parts they decided that the undulating prairies of Southern Alberta was the right place for them and their Danish friends. Returning home they talked to their neighbors and friends about their plans, with the result that in the fall of the same year a party of about some thirty people arranged to make the trip tram Iowa to the new land in Alberta. These men were of the the Canadian border crossed were at once interested to same time the home life for their families would not be materially changed. On every hand they saw progress and prosperity. Big farms, fine buildings, progressive cities and towns, good schc-ois, everything much as they had left in Iowa; the people spoke the same language and many had preceded them from "back home." When the train reached Gleichen, Alberta, a budding Western town, the end of their railway journey, tihey proceeded by democrat thirty-five miles the prairie, everyone enthusiastic over the promising future which e new land offered. To Spy Out the Land. Early the next morning the thirty oneers, in six double-seated rigs packed with-, provisions and feed, set "spy the land" on their seventy-mile trip. Reaching the site of the prospective colony and whilst dinner being prepared, the Danish minister, who had been invited to join the party, formally dedicated the settlement the "Standard Danish Colony," after which the teams were again requisitioned, the party piled into the wagons, and every parcel of land was carefully inspected and-allotted. This then was the nucleus of the present very successful and prosperous Danish' settlement which has for the district an envied position among the many progressive grain and stock-raising districts which have sprung up during the past decade. Here now are to be seen the comfortable homes and big red barns wealthy and contented farmers, and the undulating unbroken prairie 1909, with its picturesque winding trails, has given place to the mile long furrows, the woven wire fence, and the graded road with the railway penetrating the settlement and the town of Standard at their door. No Vacant Land Remain! The original settlement, which, through its wonderful record of success, has drawn their fellow countrymen from all directions, has long since overflowed the original township boundaries, extending in all directions, has crossed the Rosebud River north, where at Wayne an extensive settlement has rapidly grown. Many of these settlers came with limited take up land at from $15 to $25 per acre, while to-day, through their energy and determination hereiit fertility of the soil and favorable climatic conditions, they built up a community in which land is in demand by new settlers at from $75 to $100 per acre. There is now no vacant land in the Standard Danish Settlement. Probably no more persistent and un-terrupted record of progress in col-lization and agricultural develop-ent can be instanced, and the millions of bushels of wheat, oats and other grains, and the thousands of head of livestock produced in this settlement have already created substantial railway traffic such as few districts attain. When this condition is attained throughout the West generally, one can only imagine what Canada's annual agricultural returns will be.

An arrangement by which an ordinary motorcar may be converted into a sleigh is the invention of William Jenkins, of Idaho. The front wheels of the automobile are taken off and the rear wheels so positioned with reference to a supporting-sled contrivance as to be lifted slightly above the ground. The rear wheels, however, are required to propel the motor-sleigh, and so are provided with traction rims having calks to engage the ground. The rear end of the vehicle is elevated upon the rear sleigh-runners just high enough to en-able the calks to catch the ground and give the requisite drive to the car. BITS HUMOR MONEY ORDERS.

Racial Origin--English. 6ource--A locality, also an occupation. The first syllable in this family name is related to that in our modern word "garment," and also in our word "gear," which anciently meant trappings or apparel, principally war apparel. It comes from the old Anglo-Saxon word "garwain" or "gearian," which meant "to procure," and it is related also to the French word "guerre," which is really quite similar to the English "war," if you remember that the "g" has been eliminated from the latter, and that the "u" in the former was more anciently pronounced something like a "w." The garfield or "gear-field," was what the name implies, a training or preparation field set aside for the use of the fighting men of the feudal community. In the period when family names began to take shape individuals living Hear such places naturally received Such surnames as "de la Garrield" or J'atte Garfield." "John o' Gear" would have been the John who had charge of the war gear, virtually an armorer, and from this falling have been derive! the family gwimes of Gear and Geer. DAY is--Daye, Dey, Deye, Dayman Variatioi Racial Origin--English. Source--At occupation. The family name of Day is really traceable to several different sources. One of these already has been discussed, the origin as a variation of the given name of David. Another is Irish, whan Day is a shortened form of the name ot O'Day. The third is English, and an occu- Older forms of the surname, in that period when surnames were purely descriptive and had not yet become hereditary family distinctions, are met with constantly as "Le Deye," "Le Dagh," "La Deye" and "Le Dayman." Translated into modern speech, all of these names meant simply "the Dairyman" or "the Dairymaid, according to the sex of the person to whom the name was applied. These family names therefore, take their place in the large classification of the original bearers, and which become hereditary at a slightly later period than surnames, which were derived from place names. If you bear one of these names it might trace back in your particular case to the twelfth century, or maybe only to the fifteenth or sixteenth. But hardly later than that, or the form of the name wculd have been different.
