To make apples keep longer, wrap them in oil paper, instead of the ordi- nary wrapping paper used for pack- ing box apples. Apples wrapped in oil paper, put in storage September 22, 1920, kept in fine shape all through the winter, while others from the same tree, wrapped in ordinary wrap- ping paper, decayed badly. The apples in oil paper kept two months longer than their usual keeping time. Minard's Liniment Co., Limited.

Surnames and Their Origin CHESMAN. Variation--Chessman. Racial Origin--English. Source--An occupation. This is another family name of Eng- lish origin, which is traceable to the occupation of the persons who first started its use in the hereditary sense. You might suspect from its obvious formation that it has some reference - to the ancient game of chess, but this is not so. The doubling of the "s" in one form of the name is but a modern development. If you remember that the "ee" so often occurring in modern English is a strictly modern development of spelling, and that in nearly every case it was originally an "e," and that the "ee" was only rarely met with back in the days when family names were being formed, you get your clue to the origin of the name. The word "cheese," for instance, was spelled "chese" or "ches" in some cases, for there was no universal standard of spelling in those days] such as has developed since the growth of the printing industry and the publication of grammars and dic- tionarins. This would give ground for the theory that the name originally meant "cheeseman." Actual historical record of the period when the name was used in the descriptive sense ab- golutely substantiates this. the assumption that they were in the most cases both is reasonable. CALHOUN. Variations--Colquhoun. Racial Origin--Scottish. Source--A locality. This family name, Calhoun being a modern variation of the true form of Colquhoun, comes from the name of one of the clans of the Scottish High- landers, who derived it from the name of the locality in which they establish- ed themselves, the Barony in West Kilpatrick (or Kirkpatrick), in Dum- bartonshire. Beyond this, the mists of the past cloud the search,.for the origin of the place name. By some the name of Colquhoun is supposed to be derived from the given name of "Conachin." By others it is explained as 'Colgeh- uoin," a personal name, meaning "war- dog," and virtually the same as the name of that great Irish warrior of antiquity, "Chuchulin." The spelling does not look alike but remember that the gutterals of the Gaelic are rather difficult to indicate, and that the Gae- lic speech itself has undergone changes from its ancient form, just as English, French and German have done. ; The Clan Colquhoun, however, dates only from about the year 1240 or so. It was organized and founded by one Humphrey de Kilpatrick, who, though The original Chesmans were dealers ; not himself a Gael, had received a in, or makers of cheese, and knowing ! grant of land in that section from the what we do of the industrial and com- mercial system of medieval England, Ear] of Lennox in the reign of King Alexander II. of Scotland.

As children, we were not permitted to drink tea or coffee, because it would stunt our growth or make us nervous and irritable. When older, however, we craved a hot drink with meals, and custom gave us our tea or coffee, Finally upon the instructions of the doctor, Mother gave up her tea and coffee. But that meant nothing in our young lives. Our vitality was then strong enough to throw off any ill effects. and we learned by ex- not drink tea or coffee.

And then we found Postum, a pure cereal beverage, free from the harmful drug, caffeine, in the rich, satisfying flavor of Postum---and also the better health which re- sulted. And, too, we were surprised to find how many of our neighbors had made the same dis- covery --had learned the value of "health first."

You men and women who can't get feeling right--who have headache, coated tongue, bad taste and foul breath, dizziness, , can't sleep, are bilious, nervous and upset, bothered with a sick, gassy, disordered stomach, or have a bad cold. Are you keeping your bowels clean with Cascarets, or merely forcing a passageway every few days with salts, cathartic pills or castor oil? Cascarets work while you sleep; cleanse the stomach of sour, fermenting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from liver and carry out of the system all the constipated poison in the bowels. A Cascaret physic to-night will straighten you out by morning. Oo Let Eggs Time Themselves. Since very ancient time sandglasses have been used for timing the boiling of eggs. Even nowadays they are in common use for this purpose in hotels and restaurants. A new twist is given to the idea by William A. Corbett, of Winnipeg. He makes the eggs time themselves, and, when they-are cooked, lift themselves out of the boiling water--with the help of a modification of the sandglass idea. The device for the purpose is a tube containing a number of lead balls. It is attached by a little bracket to the edge of a saucepan, and from the end of it is suspended a wire basket to hold the eggs in the boiling water. A branch of the tube contains a sandglass, in such a position that the upper bulb of the latter keeps the lead balls in place. But this upper bulb is made of rubber and, when the sand has run out of it, it collapses, allowing the balls to run down into the hollow handle of the tube. The transfer of their weight to the handle causes the end of the tube to rise and lift the egg- containing basket out of the water. PERE EEREED Sa SS MONEY ORDERS.

TR SAR LT Minard's Liniment for Distemper. RSI et Ra A Cheap Method of Housing Swine. Shade in summer and shelter in winter are two essentials to success- ful swine rearing. As the Dominion Animal Husbandman says in a lately issued circular from Ottawa, two or three cheap, portable cabins and a boxstall for the farrowing sow will supply the necessary housing in the case of the farmer who maintains a few hogs. Specialized hog raising necessarily calls for more equipment. The right kind of a cabin should be relatively light and built ow runners so that it may be moved to fresh ground occasionally. In order to be durable and strong, it should be con- structed of sound but rough material. To be cool in summer, it should have hinged sides for the free passage of air, and for adequate shelter in win- | ter these sides should have secure: fastenings. Room should be provided for four or five brood sows. The Do- minion Husbandman explains that small weak litters result from the! parents being housed teco much, and that they should be given ample op- portunity for exercise out of doors. | Illustrations, plans, and exact details of the lumber and other things re- quired for the construction of the best kind of cabin are given in the circular. ------e -- World's Deepest Gold Mine. Australia is said to possess the | deepest gold mine in the world. It is situated at Bendigo, Victoria, and is known as the New Chum Railway Mine. The miners who work in it are obliged to travel down a shaft nearly three-quarters of a mile deep. The heat in the mine is terrific, the temperature of 108 degress being so weakening that it is necessary to spray the bodies of the miners con- tinually with cold water from above ground. Away from the spray the men could not stand, and it is as much as they can do to work moderately under the spray. Few will begrudge these men the money they earn.
