HIGHLY OF BABY'S OWN TABLETS Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets (or her little ones she is al- ways pleased to speak highly of them to other mothers. She knows the good they have done her children and realizes that her experience should be of benefit to others. Concerning the Tablets Mrs. Fred Murphy, Charlotte- town, P.E.I., writes: "I have used Baby's -Own Tablets for the past eight months for my baby. I, cannot speak too highly of them for they have been of great, assistance to me in my first ^experience of motherhood."

In 1912 the National Educational Conference recommended a Chinese alphabet of thirty-nine characters, of which there were twenty-four so-called initials, three medlals and twelve finals. By 1915 schools to teach the phonetic symbols had been established as an experiment; lately all the normal schools have given special courses in the subject, and this year all the pro- Tir-ces are learning the new system and put 1.1 Jg it into use. 20.000 Oranges on Tree.

Surnames and Their Origin SHAW Racial Origin Scottish. Source A given name. Shaw does not look like a Highland or Gaelic family name. Not many people realize that it Is, for, strangely enough, it is not met with at any com- paratively modern date with the prefix of either 'Mac" or "O" ." It is the name born originally by a certain sept of the Clan MacKintosh, which later divided into two septe, the or senior line eventually losing ci-Aip of ' ne lamls originally oc- cupied by the organization. The Highland records show that the sixth chief of the Clan Mackintosh was named Angus. He had a son named John, whose son was Gilchrist, who in turn had a son named Shaw, -who was surnamed "Corr Flachlach," nd this chieftain was the founder of the sept line of Shaws, having ac- quired the lands about "Loch-au-eillan" Just prior to 1400 A.D. For several centuries the castle of Loch-an-eillan was the stronghold of his descendants ur.d the branch of the Clan MacKintush which they led. So. if you bear any of the family names in this group you may be rea- sonably sure that In the dim distant past one or more of your ancestors tilled a position in the economic life of the community as a bearer of bur- dens, a teanwter and drayman of to- day. He may have been either a bear- er of loads himself, or an^employer of such men. and more tha"n likely spe- cialized In the serlce of some particu- lar mercantile trade. When the Blood Becomes Watery a Breakdown Follows. Every woman's health is dependent upon the condition of her blood. How many women .-suffer with headache, pain in the back, poo- appetite, weak digestion, a constant feeling of weari- ness, palpitation of the heart, short- ness of breath, pallor and nervous- ness? Of course all these symptoms may not be present the more there are the worse the condition of the blood, and the more necessary that you should begin to enrich it without delay. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a splendid blood-building tonic. Every dose helps to make better blood which goes to every part of the body and brings new health to weak, despon- dent people. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are valuable to all women but they are particularly useful to girls of school age who become pale, languid and nervous.

LEEDER Variations Leader, Leders, Loder, Lederer. Racial Origin English. Source An occupation. You need more than thre>> guesses tn pick the occupation from which ' thist group of family names has been | developed. The reason is that the meaning of the word itself has changed bince the medieval period In which it, became a surname. . I It's not exactly a piece of practical ' knowledge to know that originally the words "lead" and "load" had very elmil i meanings. We use the verb "lead" to-day in the sense of "show- lug the way." But in medieval, times Ito most usual meaning was that of pulling or carrying a load ; as often carrying as pulling. CHICHESTER Racial Origin English. Source A locality. The use of Chichester as a family name is a matter easily aud obviously explained. In ita first use as such it was descriptive of the locality iu which the individual lived. There is a place of this name in England, and naturally persons migrating from Chi- chester to other sections came to be known in their new neighborhoods as "John of Chichester" or "Robert of Chichester." as the case might be. Then, in the course of time, neigh- bors would come to regard the name as merely distinguishing the individ- ual, and Its meaning as indicating the place from which he had come several years before would not be foremost in their miuds. Hence the "of," or its equivalent in the Norman tongue, would be dropped, and the individual or hta sons would bear as their sur- name simply I'hiehester. The place name, however, is a com- biiiatiim (if the Saxon given name of "Cissa." and the Latin word "cas- truni." which means "cump" or "mili- tary station." The Romans, in the period before the Saxon invasion, built their camps in England, as they did elsewhere, as virtual fortresses. They were structures which lasted, and wukth remained in existence long after the Romans had withdrawn. "Cissa" was the son of "Aella," who founded the kingdom of the South, Saxons. 12.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co.. Brockville. Ont. * The Set of the Sail. Trying to Oblige.
