WHY RHEUMATISM OFTEN COMES BACK The Usual Treatment Does Not Reach the Root of the Trouble. Most, treatments for rheumatism do DO more than aim to kep down the poison in the blood and enable nature to overcome that particular attack. Then when th system becomes run- down from any cause the disease again fete the upper hand and it all haa to bo done over. Sufferers from rheumatism who have found their condition unrelieved i or actually growing worse while using I other remedies, would do well to try Dr. Williams* Pink Pills. The tonic treatment with this medicine haa proved in thousands of cases that it builds up the blood to a point that en- ables It to caet out the rheumatic poisons through the regular channels Of excretion, the bowels, kidneys and the skin. When this Is done rheuma- tism Is banished, and as long at> the blood is kept pure and rtch the pat- lent will be immune from attack, i This is proved by the case of Mrs. J. Hewitt, Beach P.O., Hamilton, Ont, who says: "For a number of years I was troubled with muscular rheuma- tism, which caused me a great deal of suffering, I would get rid of the trouble for a time, but it always came back. A friend recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I have not had an attack of rheumatism since I took t'r.'pm, and that is five years ago. I have since used the pills for anaemia and found them equally good, and I now recommend them to any friends who may be ailing." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail a/t 50 cents A box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont Surnames and Their Origin EYLER. Racial Origin English. Source A locality. This is a family name which appears as though it might have some optical significance. But though of pure An- glo-Saxon origin it has no connection with our modern word "eye." The word from which It IB derived is spelled somewhat differently to-day, which explains the difficulty. If the family name were spelled "Isler" you'd stand a better chance of guessing the origin, or perhaps if it wr spelled "Islander." Really, however, there was a shade of difference between the meaning of the medieval word "eyler" and the mordern word "islander." The former meant as much "waterman" aa "is- lander." According to geography an island is a section of land entirely sur- rounded by water. According to ety- mology, however, it is "water-land," a distinction, perhaps, without a differ- ence. In earlier days the Anglo-Sax- ons called water "ea," and later the spelling of this root or word developed Into "ey" (not, however, with a pro- nunciation like our word "ee," for in tboes days the "y," like the "i," was pronounced either as we to-day pro- nounce "ee" or the short "I."). Until comparatively modern times, therefore, this family name was not pronounced "Eye-ler," but "Ay-ler," rhyming with "sailor." STAPLES Variation Staple. Racial Origin English. Source A locality. Her* is a family name which has nothing to do with the article of hard- ware of the same name. It is founded rather, upon the same source aa our modern adjective "staple" which we used to denote a common article of commerce. What is the connection? ! It lies in the original meaning of th* word. A staple article is a common or usual article of trade. The phrase has come to have this meaning be- cause it meant originally a "market article," or a marketable article, and in the broad sense only an article in common demand is freely. marketable. In the medieval period in which family names were being formed, the "etaple" was an open market or trad- Ing place. It was quite natural, therefore, that a man who lived at or near such a | place should be referred to aa "John j De La (of the) Staple," or "William j at the Staple." And, as has happened j with virtually all of these descriptive | surnames as they have become family j names through the loss of their origin- 1 al specific meaning, these prefixes ' have been dropped In the course of 1 time. Here again is a case in which the addition of the "s" was but a tendency of tlie tongue, and did not represent a shortened form of the ending "son." The Bank of England was fouijded by a Scotsman who died in poverty. Mlnard' Liniment for Garget In Cow*. ; About 1,100 kinds of insects make their homes in oak trees. PETRIE'S MACHINERY TORONTO Where They Got Their Names. Quite a lot of geography can be learnt in a stroll round a dry goods shop, for many of the fabrics and ma- terials we use to-day get their names from the places where they were orig- inally made. For example, calico owes its name to Calicut, a town In India. In the days before Manchester was a great manufacturing centre most of the best calico came from Calicut, and even af- ter the Industry came to Britain the old name remained. India is also re- sponsible for muslin, which came or- iginally from a place called Mosul. Two textiles owe their names to France. These are cretonne and cam- bric, the first of which cam from the Normandy town of Creton, while the second is still manufactured at Cam- bral. How many people know that serge takes its name from China, whence it was Introduced Into England in 1660? The Latin name for China is Selicum. which gradually ho* changed into the modern word serge.

GETS HIM IN FINE SHAPE FOR WINTER "Tanlac built me up in flue shape last Spring, and now I am getting an- other bottle as a-tdnlc to keep me fit for the cold weather," declared Henry Duefenbacbi, 450 York St. Hamilton, Ont, recently. Mr. Duefenbach has been identified with the grocery busi- ness in Hamilton several years, and la very well known. "My stomach was troubling me for a long time and I got into a badly run- down condition," he said. "Almost everything I ate upset me terribly, and gas would form on my stomach and ; keep me miserable. My nerves were unstrung, too, and many a night I never got a bit of rest. "I was feeling simply all played out when I got my first bottle of Tanlac. but before I had finished it. the pains in my stomach went away entirely, my food began to agree witto me and I have never had indigestion since. With my nerves calm, my strength back and my appetite In fine shape, I expect to enjoy Christmas dinner and all the good things of the holidays aa I have not done for a long time. They can count on me to always give a good word for Tajulac." Tanlac is sold by all good druggists. MOTHER! Move Child's Bowels with "California Fig Syrup" Classified Advertisement* AOCVTS WAHTED.

One of the quaintest was devised by Queen Elizabeth. Until her reign coal was almost un- known In the South of England, though sea coal was gathered regular- ly from the shore and used In th North. One day a Northumbrian subject sent her a consignment of coal Tte Queen saw it burn on the hearth and enjoyed it pleasant glow. "Can it be used for cooking?" she asked. She was assured that it could. But she was a cautious person. She sent a quantity to toer Lord Mayor, ordering him to us it for cooking hia own dinner and to report to her whether food treated in this way waa fit for human consumption. Not until the Lord Mayor had re- ported ttiat he had eaten and survived would she have coal u -,'<! In the royal kitchen. Even a cross, feverish, bilious, or j constipated chiild loves the "fruity" taste of "California Fig Syrup." A tea- : spoonful never fails to cleanse the ' liver and bowels. In a few hours you can se for yourself how thoroughly it works all the sour bile, and undigested food out of the bowels and you have a well, playful chiild again. Millions of mothers keep "California Fig Syrup" handy. They know a tea- spoonful to-day saves a sick child to- morrow. Ask your druggist for genu- ine "California Fig Syrup" which has directions for babies and children of | all ages printed on bott'.e. Mother! You must say "California" or you may get an imitaticn fig syrup. \ r AilX WONDERFUL VALUES AND colors, samples free Georgetown Woollen Mills. Ont.
