II you need strength, II your blood is

pay you to investigate the merits OF DR..

dyspeptic, ambitionless people into
strong, healthy, hungry men and
Mrs. Lena May Roberts, whose ad-

Dakota after several months OF suffering
finally found the right tonic in DR..
Williams Pink Pills. She says:
"For months after the birth Of my
baby, / suffered terribly from q general
breakdown in health. Twas in bed for
three months and after that was able to
be up only part of the time. was
sick all over, being pale, weak and
thin. My appetite was gone and my
head ached most of the time. Often
times there seemed to be rush OF blood
70 my head and l would faint away. I
was very nervous and Was not strong
enough TO do any work.
''As the treatment was taking did
not help me, began to take DIR. VIII
liams' Pink Pills, which Q friend said
had helped her. After taking Q few
boxes, began TO get well rapidly. I
continued using them for . time and
am now as well and strong ss ever in
my life" -
The value OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills
In general debility lies in their direct re-
Spouse to the needs OF the blood. Their
work is to make new blood. That they
do this well is shown by the gradual
disappearance Of the symptoms and
the return Of color and health. They
lay the foundation for permanent health
In the future.
For the same reason these pills have
cured anemia, after-efiects Of the grip
and fevep, rheumatism, indigestion,
and nervousness, dizziness, neuralgia
and St. Vitus' dance, and are recon-
mended wherever a tonic for the blood
and nerves Is needed.
A valuable booklet, Diseases Of tho
Blood" containing fuller information
about rheumatism and other diseases OF
the blood will be sent free upon request.

h president of the United
States was not Washing
ton. His baptismal name
was George. and he was
born February 90 In the
year 1882. The old colony OF vir.
ginia was his birthplace. but the true
name of his male ancestors was not
Washington. This may seem a sweep
ing statement In the light OF generally
accepted history. but careful research
has established beyond doubt that the
ancient founder OF the family from
which came the Father of our Coun-
try was named William de Hertburn
The key to this apparent paradox lies
In the fact that. In common with many
noblemen and monarchs of Europe.
the first president possessed an estate
name and a real, or family name. the
latter being known as the patronymic,
or paternal name.
The first Washingtons were OF
French. not English. origin. and were
numbered among the powerful knights
of the northern portion of France.
When the duke of Normandy con-
ceived the ambition OF becoming king
of England he called to his aid the
Catholics OF France. and among those
who responded to his appeal was an
ancestor OF George Washington. The
duke gathered his soldiers about him
and announced that by right and
promise he deserved and intended to
be the new king Of England. His spir-
tied address had the desired effect
and the knights and their vassais
thronged to the standard until there
was soon gathered under the leader
ship Of William. duke OF Normany.
the greatest army France had ever
mustered. ready for the field and
thirsting for the glories OF conquest.
Among the many banners thrown to
the breeze appeared the shield OF the
multi-great-grandfath of our own
George Washington. His name was
William de Hertburn. The $4,000 fol-
lowers of the duke set sail In 5000
vessels Of war for the English coast
and landed without opposition. be-
cause of the English King Harold's
conflict with the Norwegians in an
other part of his invaded domains. On
October IA. 1866. the rival armies met.
and on the field Of Hastings took
place one of the most terrific battles
in the history OF England. William OF
Normandy was the victor. and King
Harold. with tens Of thousands Of
bis English. was among the slain. The
victorious French marched to London.

and on Christmas day they pro-
claimed their dashing leader civilian
|. conqueror and king Of England"
In apportioning the estates OF the
Saxons to his followers the conqueror
bestowed on William de Hertburn the
extensive estate known as Wessyng-
ton. and entitled him to heraldic de-
nomination Of his choice. Historic
records show him as one OF the favor
ite knights of the king.
As a further demonstration OF the
Importance OF the De Hertburns, or
"Wessyngtons." history furnished the
information that the estate In question
was under the command OF the bishop
OF Durham. and situated In a locality
exposed to the attack OF the Scots OF
northern England. On this border
there was constant warfare. and the
king naturally selected the bravest
and most warlike OF his adherents to
hold lands in the disputed district.
For nine years this country between
Durham and York was laid waste. and
for ten years 1t was practically
desert. no man having the courage to
attempt cultivation of the blasted
fields or inhabit the ruined towns.
One hundred thousand people died
in this debatable strip OF land, and
there, where active hostilities ever
reigned. the De Hertburns, or Wes-
syngtons. were stationed. This rec
ord of the great family is absolutely
authentic In every detail. having been
proved by minute research and per-
sonal visits to the locality where It's
members were lords of the sofia
task which embraced fifteen years OF
heraldic Investigation.
Later the estate known as Wes-
syngton was spelled and entered Of
ficially as washington, the proprietors
the same name. Then 1t
was recorded as Washington. and a
natural change OF the owners name
in accordance with that OF his land
followed. The proprietors became
known as William. John. Lawrence.
and Nicholas DE Washington.
Finally the heraldic shields and
French prefix of DE" was dropped,
and the modern spelling OF Wash
i-n-g-t-o-n prevailed.
The Washingtons were very prom
inent In the military as well as the
civic phases OF English life. In the
days OF Henry the WILL, when that
was in conflict with the pope
Of Rome. Lawrence Washington sided
with the king. and the latter con
fiscated the monasteries, converts
and churches OF the Roman Catholic
church, giving to this Washington the
Sulgrave estate, where for over a Gen.
fury the Washington family ruled SUI
preme. A decline In their fortunes
then appears to have taken place. for
In 1920. the year the Pilgrims set
sail for America. the Washingtons
were practically driven from the Sui
grave estate to take up residence at
Brighton with minor manors and hold

Of rich meadows and harvest fields
