THE mum «F Show in Pale Faces, Tired Feel- ing and Breathlessness. People who are pale, languid. wlU> palpitation of the heart and ahortnes* of breath at slight exertion are suffer- Inc from thin. Impure blood. If they have the resolution to take the right remedy and Btiek to it. they will find new health and strength. The remedy that can always be relied upon U Dr. Willlama' Pink Pills. With every dose they improve and invigorate the blood, and this new blood means health and strength. Mrs. A. Griffiths, Pierson, Man., is one of the many thousands who have proved the value of these pilte. She says: â€" "I wfts so badly mn down in health that I was almost bedfast. The least exertion would leave me breathless. I Buffered from headaches and backaches and had uo appetite. I could only drag about the house and found even light housework almoet impoasible. I tried several remedies but they did not do me a particle of good. Then a friend came for a visit and she urged me to try Dr. Wllllama' Pink Pills. When I had finished the second box I could feel that they were helping me. By the time I had taken four boxes more I was a well woman and every symp- tom of my trouble had disappeared. It would not be possible for me to say too much in favor of this medicine, and I always recommend it to run- down people, and have seen it prove Just as satisfactory in other cases." If you are weak and run down you can begin getting new strength to- day by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Holidays by Chauice. Of unusual holidays few can have occasioned more interest than that of a retired .\merican brewer now visit- ing London on his way to Greenland. At his home in Milwaukee he has a globe of the earth's surfac-e. WTicn his annual holiday is due he takes a hat- pin and. giving the globe a spin, sticks the pin into it. Where the pin edckff, there the brewer goes! , Last year the pin inddcated the V^e of Cashmere, in India, whither the brewer made his way. The previous year he found himself obliged to visit Germany, while the year before that a town not fifty miles from his home was the holiday resort thue chosen. He has visited in this way places as far apart as Christiania and Mel- bourne, Montreal and Cornwall, and Stockholm and Cairo. When the pin sticks into the ocean the originator of this decidedly novel plan allows him- self a second try. Broadcasting a Pin-fall. A pin was dropped on a desk by Dr. Gano Dunn in the course of his ad- dress at the d«dication of the new building of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council In Washington. That pin-fall was perhaps the most significant and widely heard of any in history. Without being warned to sllencei, every person in the high- domed, wide-winged hall heard the pin as It struck the woodwork. Thousands of wireless listeners' hundreds of miles away, also heard. Specially designed artiflcical stone walls made the sound clear, distinct, and without those hollow echoes which characterize old (high-vaulted build- ings. That pin-fall founded an eo- gineering triumph in the long-neglect- ed science of ocoustics. « . Mlnard's Liniment for Rheumatlam. -« Politeness.

By a narrow margin Irak signed the Anglo-Irak Treaty â€" the only possible I instrument assuring her eventual in- • dependence â€" ^and the British will con- I tinue in (he rather thankless task of j shaping an irresponsible and Inexperi- enced people Into a nation, aays a Bagdad despatch. Great Britain having accepted the mandate of Irak, under the League of Nations directly after the war, obli- gated herself, accepted a trust, and she intends, if possible, to bear with this trust to the end. Since 1917 Great Britain has done more with Irak than any other nation could pos- sibly have done, but even 80 has suc- oeeded only in setting up a more or less fallible monarchy, presided over by an Arab figurehead, and liable at any time to be thrown, without for^ eign guidance, into internal anarchy. Great Britain has long since realized that as an investment Irak is thor- oughly bad, and that the pounds (6,- 000,000) which she annually poors In- to this Investment, could be much bet- ter put to use elsewhere. She has done all In her power to mould this disjointed section into a nation, but one cannot make a durabl« crock of sand and water, and it is plain that the Iraki, at least at this stage of their development, are little better than sand and water. And since in addttlpn to this there has been an appreciable amount of Irritation caused by the pet- tiness of some Irak officials, the Bri- tish are quite i>repared to leave the country. But they do not wish to leave it In its present vulnerable and nn^table condition; it would be a very severe reflection on their ability and wisdom. It thus became very evident that a departure of some sort was necessary. Tenor of the Treaty. The result was the negotiation of a treaty with a protocol and subsidiary agreements following In Its wake. The jpuch-dlscmssed Anglo-Irak treaty sets certain stipulations for the future which will give the Irak investment less of a failure ccomplected aspect, and which grants to the British cer- tain financial and military rights that will allow them to carry on In the country for another four years and es- tablish the Irak Government as a per- manent institution. But some Iraki contend that the treaty is severe; that H wrests from them certain inviolate rights, imposes upon them restrictions which will InL- pair growth and retard them in their struggle for Independence; lays upon them rigid financial demands and ob- ligations â€" in short. Is an Instrument which will preclude realiKatlon of their ideal. In their stigmatism and youth they are not aware that the clauses of the treaty, g«jneraUy speaking, point toward their eventual benefit, and that without the protection and guidance it affords they wUl be left a irrey to In- vasion. Charge British With Imperialism. Since the acceptance of the mandate the efforts of Hie British have been highly favored with altruism, but this fact in no way checks the bitterness of excitable tongues, for the British have been accused of having imperial- istic designs in their policies concern- ing Irak. When one stops to consider that Great Britain's policies are de- termined not by individual and iso- lated countries but by world-wide in- terests, and it is understood- tliat the occupancy of Irak by the British has been an exception to this rule, and that by her connections with Irak she j Injures her more universal interests, it is beyond" reason to accuse her of im- perialistic motives. -Situation at Present. Now that the treaty is ratified by die constituent assembly the Iraki have made their first move in the di- rection of an eventual independence. The Brltie* will stand by them for an- other four years, will protec* them and their interests, will stiape them for membership in the League of Nations, will develop their country and will then, at the end of the s-tlpulated period, leave the management of the country entirely to the Iraki and wish them Godspeed. A rejection of the treaty would assuredly have meant the downfall of Irak and than an even- tual Invasion by out.<ide Powers have been determined only by the amount of ambition and avarice of such na- tions as Turkey and Persia and the less friendly tribes of .\rabia. except for the possibility of international >eague.

Tha report of the Mining Recorder of the Yukun Territory for the calen«laj year 1923 contains .vom^ interesting in- toncatlon regardlag progress there. The statistics in regard to claims are as follows: P:at:er .Mining, grants a; renewals, 5; relocations, 3. Quartz Mining, grants, 121; renew- als. 1.032; claims in good standing, 1,312. In connection with the claims in good standing it Id interesting to note that as a full quartz claim is over 30 acres in extent theae claims represent an area of approximately S5.000 acres, or over 100 square miles. The total amount of ore shipped from Mayo Landing in the summer of 1923 was 8,7624 tons. Since no ore is bagged that assays less than 200 ounces in silver to the ton, this out- put represents a large revenue. Of numerous new veins uncovered last year the most promising are those ot the Lake Group where interested parties combined in diverting a large flow of water with the result that the overburden was washed in several places to a depth of thirty feet, ex- posing veins of silver ore from which assays have been obtained sufficient to warrant the owners arracging for the neccessary equipment and supplies to carry on additional exploratory work. The Keno Hill Miaing Company ceased operations on Keno Hill and transferred its equipment to the Friendship Group adjoining the Tread- well Yulion Company property on the south. This company has built a per- manent camp and carried out a con- siderable amount of exploratory work to date. It employs an average of thirty-three men. The Treadwell Company employs an average ot eighty-one men for its work inclusive of the work of the wood camp. It carried on extensively dur- ing the past year and erected a large new office and warehouse and has several ten-ton caterpillars hauling ore to the landing. In addition to the number of men employed by the different companies in both quartz and piacer min^. there were about 1^ prospecting and work- ing their owjiground. There have been no serious accidents, no labor troubles and very lltUe sickness. A new placer strike was piade at the mouth of Gull creek, as a result of which over twenty claims were staked.

SUMMER HEAT HARD ON BABY Father's Responsibility. Under the Ontario Act requiring fathers to maintain children bom out of wedlock the sum of J67,000 was col- lected last year in cosh, and addition- al amounts due would bring the sum up to well over JIOO.OOO.

Perhaps you have wondered about this family name. It is misleading. In spite of yourself you keep associat- ing it in your mind with the wt>rd "pink," but it has no connection with this word at all. Again it is a natural, but as it hap- pens, erroneojs assumption that the ending 'ton" reveals it jus one of those purely .\nglo-Saxon pl-^ce names com- pounded of the word whtch has given us our modern word "town" and which is to be found in the ending ot so tnany English place names. The name, however, is a splendid example of the way in which a name developed In one language can be in- fluenced entirely out cf its original form by another tongue. The original form of this fatnily name was "t'e Pontcardon, " Pontcard- on being a place name in N;irai.-«ndy. It was ot course first born? by ms«i. probably in the ranks ot the Con- queror's army, who c-amo from that lo- cality. But in the course of lime Us pronunciatlcn was a bit slurred, and men. forjtefing that It was a French name, began to spell it aa It was pronounced. Hence Pinkertoa.

It would take you a good many guesses to arrive at the Gaelic spell- ing of this old Irish clan name which has become with us a not uncommon ; family name. j It is "OLeaihlabhair." But between consonant combinations which, in the ' Gaelic, neutralize each other Into sil- ' ence. and others which are but faintly , enunciated, and dipthongs which have entirely different sound.s from those we would givt> them in English, this rather difficult kx^k'ng name resolves Itself into the sound of "OLawlor." .V.;d in thi? phonetic spelling it was taken over Into Knglish. 'Leathlabhar" was en ancient Irtish given na.me compounded from tha words for "half and Bpoaker. ' as well as can be ascertained, for. cf course. as a given aame it far antedated the period (ia about the tenth century 1 when the clati name was formed. The chieftain of this name who founded the clan belonged to the still mi)r<? ancient line of the OHarts. and unqnestionabiy tho bulk of his follow- ers st fimi were more or loss distant relations end members of the same clan.
