THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, NOV. I, 1923. PAIN IN THE JOINTS Is An Indication That the Blood is Thin and Watery. The first sign of rheumatism is frequently a pain and swelling of one of the joints. If this is not treated through the blood, which is the seat of the disease, the poison spreads, affecting other joints and tissues--sometimes rheumatism attacks the heart and is fatal. A remedy that has corrected many cases of rheumatism is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills enrich and purify the blood so that the poisonous rheumatic matter is driven out of the system as nature intended. Miss Gertie Denne, Washago, Ont., was attacked with rheumatism and found relief through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She says:--"About a year ago I was attacked by rheumatism and for two weeks was confined to my bed. The trouble was so painful, affecting the joints of my limbs so that I could not stand alone. Mother had a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the house and thought they might help me. I t „an taking them, and when I had taken these pills got a further supply, with the result that the rheumatism vanished and I was a well girl. I may add that my mother and two of my sisters have also used the pills for various ailments with equal success, and now we are never without them in the house.*' If you are suffering from any condition due to poor, watery blood, or weak nerves, begin taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills now, and note how your strength and health will improve. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail, at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Cosmopolitan School.

Keep Minard's Liniment In the housfc I "Old Heads on Young Shoulders" is the Latest Dream of the Scientist. Imagine Einstein, Marconi, Edison, and Sir Oliver Lodge being able to hand down their genius to their children as easily as they hand down their ! estates! Picture a world in which our \ descendants will begin almost where j we left off. That this is not an idle dream has 1 been made abundantly clear by cer-! tain experiments on animals carried out by Professor Paul Kammerer, a | biologist of the University of Vienna, i and a lifelong friend of Steinach, the ! originator of the "gland" cure. Kam-! merer demonstrated his theory before British scientists at Cambridge. Placing before them a specimen of the sightless newt, he said that he had developed the creature's eyes. During thousands of years' existence in deep, gloomy caverns, its ancestors had not only lost the power of sight, but even the eyes themselves had shrunk to mere rudimentary organs beneath the skin. Professor Kammerer took one of these eyeless newts at birth and exposed it to red light for five years. The water in which the newt lived was continually illuminated with red light, which was used because it was found that daylight merely caused a dark pigment to form in the skin covering the eyes. Several generations of newts were subjected to the red light until one group finally appeared with eyes that pushed through the head. The descendants of this group also had eyes, The professor then showed Salamanders whose skins had changed color as a result of living on a background different from that to which they had been accustomed. He said the change was permanent and hereditary. He then exhibited a land-dwelling toad, having the horny pads of the water-toad, a wonder which the professor had accomplished after a series of ex- These demonstrations were followed by speculations as to the possibility of applying the results achieved on lower animals to human beings, sc that the good qualities a man cultivated in his own lifetime could be passed on to his children d',~covery by which our descendants will be enabled to grasp in a few to learn; they will execute easily what we have accomplished with great effort; and withstand wounds that injured us almost to the point of death. Where we sought they will find. Where we left off they will begin." THE FALLIvEATHER hard ON LITTLE ONES Canadian fall weather is extremely hard on little ones. One day is vrarm and bright, and the next wet and cold. These sudden changes bring on colds, cramps and colic, and unless baby's little stomach is kept right the result may be serious. There is nothing to equal Baby's Own Tablets in keeping the littl i ones well. They sweeten the stjmach, regulate the bowels, break up colds and make baby thrive. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ~" When Italics Are Used. We are all familiar with words written in italics. In 1521 a printer of Venice invented the type when printing an edition of Virgil. It is supposed that he attempted to copy the handwriting in which the translation was written. The style | came to England in the following year ' and was knonwn as Venetian. It was, however, confined chiefly to proper j names and prefaces of books, i Italics are used in the Bible for j words inserted to make the sense of ; the translation clearer. Nowadays italics are used almost solely for emphasizing a word or sentence, and if it is desired for a printe to put any portion of a manuscript ii to this type the words are underlined. Names of periodicals and ships should be in italics, but the rules regarding ad hoc, e.g., i.e., et seq., and so on, are varied, and italics may or may not be used. Surnames and Their Origin B .y^iougliU^ ^laj^^a s nc, of^rmr^^^HKstock whic URQUHART Racial Origin--Scottish. Source--A locality. Urquhart was the name of one of the most important and influential, though one of the smallest of the 3 of the Scottish Highlands. c Which crossed ward the close of those migrations which are responsible for most of the blood of the Highlands to-day, the clan name was not formed from ti.e given name of a chieftain. In Ireland the clan names were almost without exception derived from the names of the chieftains who first elevated their following to the dignity of clanship; mostly from their given names, but at times from their nicknames or sobriquets. In Scotland the that of the Urquharts is one. Though the "Clann Urachadian," as it is styled in the Gaelic tongue, is i admittedly an old one, there is some j vagueness as to its early history, but' It appears to have been closely connected with the clans MacKay and i Forbes. The name of Urquhart does not appear in the historical records I as having been adopted by the clan ! until about 1300 A.D., at which time j the chief of the clan was also the commander of a castle of that name, and the tradition goes that the clan name was adopted from the name of the cut monkey-3 reached the ape-x BUCKLEY Racial Origin--English.

There are, however, different meanings to the .two-plac* names^ from which the family name is variously derived. One of these is the name of a community in Chester, England. It is Bulkeley. It may also at various times have been a countryside name for many localities in different sections of England.

Long-Distance Man-Hunts. More than 700 miles by dog team was the trip made recently by Constable F. Stevenson^ of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, in bringing to Justice a man charged with the der of a trader. This, however, is by no means a record in the annals of the Force, which has several longer and no less thrilling man hunts to its credit. Two years ago an Eskimo who had murdered a white man in the Yukon was tracked over a thousand miles before he was captured, following which I the Crown prosecutor and a judge tra-' veiled 3,000 miles to conduct the trial. One of the longest of these hunts was that carried out by Sergeant Frank Smith, who covered hundred miles by dog team in search of a murderer named O'Brien. During the trip the sled in which the sergeant travelled part of the way overturned into a dyke, Injuring its occupant's leg so severely that he unable to use it for some days, daunted, he continued the journey, which ended in his finding.hit two weeks too late; the civil authorities had succeeded in capturing him, The hunt cost the Government $150,-OJO. Another long-distance chase was participated in by a member of the same Force following the murder by Victor Fournier and Edward la Belle of three French Canadians. The detective concerned, Sergeant WT. H. j^elsh, undertook to hunt the criminals alone, and at the end of a thrilling nine hundred miles' trip he succeeded in arresting the prisoners with as 1 tie fuss as a Toronto policeman mak in apprehending a pickpocket. Where Men Buy Wives. The well-known traveller in Far Eastern regions, Miss Ella Sykes, has been lecturing to the Royal Geoghaph-ical Society, London, on her experiences and observations on "The Roof of the World," this being Miss Sykes's name for a plateau of the Pamir Mountains bepond the great river which borders Chinese Turkestan. _ The Kelgis (inhabitants of the gion) have, said the lecturer, some culiar customs. The men spend m06t of their time playing the goat game, a sort of horseback football, with the inflated skin of a headless goat for a ball. Attending marriage and funeral fea6ts is another favorite occupation. Most of the laborious work is left to the women, and they do it obediently, though women are so scarce that a father can demand a very heavy price for a daughter's hand. The stronger capable that hand is, the higher its value in the marriage st.

Brussels appears to be the only city which has a well-organized umbrella-borrowing bureau. The annual subscription is low, but if every umbrella user were to Join such a society, its income would be enormous. The idea is rather similar to that in force at the British Museum, National Gallery, and other public institutions, where you are required to deposit your "gamp" before being allowed to go round the galleries. You get a ticket of metal or a bone disc, which will redeem your umbrella at any time; only in the case of the umbrella exchange, the umbrella is not your but the property of the society. Each member on paying his subscription, receives a token, usually of metal stamped with an index number, which he carries in his pocket instead of an numbrella in his hand. When caught by the rain, all he has to do is to go to one of the society's agencies, which are tobacco shops, restaurants, and big Aiming high isn't much use if you have no ammunition.
