The 20" in Irish Names.

49, IT IS pity SO many people here
I'M drop the Irish O, for it is a prefix of
9; nobility that is the oldest in Europe.
Many of our best Dutch families in
New York came here without a sur
name but there is not "a family in
% Ireland possessing a surname in O
100 that has not horne that surname since
al least the twelfth century. That Is
surely high distinction and proof Of
social standing that Ireland's fall from
s@.4a its high estate cannot obliterate.
- believe that Venice has families whose
80 surnames date from the ninth century.
I stbat with that exception Irish surnames
are the oldest in Europe.
Under compulson of the penal laws
'afq many people in Leinster adopted Eng
lish names but these people belonged
mainly TO the lower classes, and the
names they adopted Smith, Carpenter,
s4a.lsGoolss Butcher showed ,,their occupa-
-ibations and the meaning OF their Irish
a,,si, seurpanoes. SUCH names always bore

YOU Will lind nowhere in its ancient

sociated with any trade or occupation
nor any such Bame with the o pre-
fixed Howard or Hogward. the most
aristocratic name in Britain, woult
have been borne only by hereditary
! Ia awineherds in the old Irish world.

MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Crippled-up Sufferers Find Re-
lief After Few Doses of
Croxone Are Taken

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with is
heart-wrenching pains. when you can
surely avoid 1t.
Rheumatism comes from weak, mac
tive kidneys. that fail to filter from the
blood, the poisonous waste matter and
uric acid: and 1t Is useless to rub On
liniments or take ordinary remedies to
relieve the pain. This only prClongs
the misery
The only way TO cure rheumatism IS
to remove the cause. The new discov-
cry, Croxone, does this because 1t neu-
tralizes and dissolves all the poisonous
substances and uric acid that lodge in
the joints and muscles, to scratch and
irritate and cause rheumatism, and
cleans out and strengthens the stopped
up, inactive kidneys. so they can filter
all the poison from the blood. and drive
It on and out of the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful med
icine ever made for chronic rheuma-
tIsm. kidney troubles. and bladder dis
orders You will find it different from
all other remedies. There is nothing
else on earth like II. 1t matters not
how old you are. or how long you have
suffered. it is practically Impossible TO
take it into the human system without
results. You will find relief from the
first few doses. and you will be sur
prised how quickly all misery and suf-
fering will end.
An original package Of Croxone costs
hut a trifle at any first class drug store.
All druggists are authorized to sell It
on a positive money-back guarantee.
Three doses a day for a few days is
often all that is ever needed to over
come the worst backache or urinary
disorders.-Advt.

Interest is being taken in the ladies

Many Informal parties have been ar
ranged at the different officers quarters
following each day of the show. AL
