containing a smattering child psychol-

HOW NAMES BECOME CHANGED
Sometimes Intentionally, but More
often Due to the "Wear and
Tear of Time"

"Who Was WhoE' is the suggested
title for a new book to contain the
names Of all persons who have
changed their names. A new publica-
ton will do that in England. If the
work is carried back far enough it will
be found that scarcely name has
survived the wear and tear of time.
Some Of the changes are intentional,
like our daily applications in court, but
most of them are due to bad spoilers
or poor pronunciation and phonetic
spelling to express the errors of pro-
nunciation. Our Dutch ancestors had
Il habit of cutting off everything that
went down to and including the IVAN"
The name "Burch' was originally
Birch" and meant man who lived by
the birch tree. It is a curious COM
ment on this new book that the Lon
don newspaper editor who is putting it
out has iuggled his own name after
the English custom, when taking .
title. Good names are a misfortune
| when they are used like family por
traits to make snobs.--E Exchange.

Do This After You Eat
Hot Weather "Out of Fix" Stomachs
Easily Put Right

When hot weather comes, stomach
and bowel miseries begin. Strong,
sound stomachs as well as weak ones
are easily affected by the harmful
gases and acids so often produced in
the things we eat and drink during
hot weather. Winter-Nature' ice
box, is gone-hot weather breeds
the poisonous germs that cause pto-
maine poison in all its many forms.
Every one knows that the after-eat-
ing nausea, belching, that wretched,
bloated, "lumpy" feeling, sour stom-
ach. heartburn, food repeating, and
other forms of indigestion and dys-
pepsia are far more frequent during
hot weather. 1t is the time when YOU
have to guard constantly against ar
upset stomach and the many ills that
are always apt TO follow. Then again
we have the worlds war to win
with the change of diet and extra
work which means we must all care
fully guard our stomachs this year
keep ourselves fit and fine.
A marvellous relief and prevention
has been found for stomach sufferers,
which makes it possible for you to eat
she things you like best without q

.PHTHISIS AS DEADLY AS WAR
Expert Says That in Four Years 1t
Has Killed as Many as Have
Died in Battle.

The war has served effectually to
disclose that during the four years of
hostilities mortality from tuberculosis
in the civilian population and in the
armies of all the countries engaged has
at least approximated the total number
of soldiers killed in battle, according
to DR.. Livingstone Farrand., AS direc-
tor of the American commission for
the prevention of tuberculosis in
France Doctor Farrand will resume
his work overseas within a few days.
He returned to the United States for
graduation exercises of the University
of Colorado, of which he is president.
ITO make our country really safe
for democracy we must first make it
healthy" is the slogan Doctor Farrand
suggests.
OF the men called to the colors in
this country's first draft summons 3d.
900 were found to be tubercular, his
appeal states. This, it declares, is one
of the striking indications of the prev
alence of the disease in the United
