The History
of Your Name
JONES. ..r..
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Johnson
Johnston, Joynes.
RtCJd, ORIGIN--British.


NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Jonhsoh'
Johnston. Joynes.
RaCIM, ORIGIN--British.
SOURCE-A Given name.
Some wag has given Jonah OF
h;h,icaI fame, credit for being the
first Jones. Such, however, il not
tho case. Tt is derived from John,
which originally was a Hebre"
name. Jehohanan, meaning grace
of cod" Jonah, or Jonas, is an en-
tirely different name, ana Is THE
old Hebrew word for "dove.'
II was natural, perhaps, that III
the period when family names We're
heing formed, so, many persons
should have adopted a given name
that was so popular. Since there
were more Johns in the world than
Peters and Williams, 1t was nat
ural that there were more "Joh'fs
sons" So when some one calied
ror "peter, Johns son" had a name.
Of his own, and the latter grew up
and decided he would take MS
io,andfathers distinctive name
rather than his fathers, he uncon-
scfously started a new custom ana
became a Johnson, or Jonson, or
q Joneson (for they We're not SO
particular about spelling in Nc
dieval England). And in the course
of time many of these John fam
lilies shortened their names by
dropping off the final "on.' 9th
ers didn't. The spelling Johnston,
of course, is simply a misspellins
which. perpetuated through several
hundred years, has become leglt-
mate.
indeed, such changes In the spell
ing of the John" names are much
to he desired if family names are
to perform the real function for
which thew became and continue
necessary, that Of differentiating
one individual from another. With
more John names in the world
than any other. there is really no
way in which a man can better lose
his identity than by calling himself
John Jones-unless. of course. he
is able to advertise it in some con-
nection, making a virtue OF ne
cessity.
Tomorrow-Julian.

CALLING FOR HAGERMAN

OALLINb FUN hAUHhhAN.
Editor Of the Morning Journal:
Boy, page the Ex-Governor Ha-
german!
Mr.. Hagerman, in your commun-
ication to the Journal, do you
mean to insinuate that to disburse
a bonus among our eX-service men
is prodigious expenditure
/ don't believe it is. in view of
these facts. 1t most certainly has
cost the average soldier more than
$3.50 per each day of service. Since
the supreme court has declared
stock dividends untaxable, the ma :
iority of corporations are declar-
ing dividends ranging approxi-
mately from 25 to 100 per cent.
Since this is nothing else but the
result of profiteering, these untax-
able disbursements should be taxed
to paw the cost of the war.

Trio is Held in
 Murder Mystery

Louisville, Ky, June 15.-Arrest last night of Mrs Rosa Adcock charg- ed with murder of her husband James Adcock, opens circumstances sur rounding the shooting of Adcock here on May 31, last, after which the cere- ner's jury held that he had commit ted suicide. Besides Mrs. Adcock, 19 year old girl, the police arrested Mrs. Grace Jeffries, her sister, and Newton Sloan, her father, charged with being accessories.
 The police in arresting the trio acted after careful investigation which they said includes testimony by neighbors that Mrs Adcock shot her husband during a quarrel. It also was said, the police declared, that Sloan struck Adcock with his fist and then threw stones at him when he ran from the Adcock home after be- ing shot.
 Adcock died two days later after stating he had shot himself. Neigh bors, however, said according to the police, that they overheard Adcock plead while running through the street to not let her "shoot me again. Mrs. Adcock is said to have followed her husband into the street where Sloan took a revolver from her. The three who were arrested de- clined to discuss the charge against them

WHAT COUNTRY?

From Boston comes the following dispatch:
 "Fourteen of the states delegates to the democratic national conven- tion left tonight for San Francisco by way of Montreal and Vancouver.
 '"We are going unpledged,' said one, we are not interested in any candidate; we are not interested in platform; we are not interested in anything except freedom for Ire land."
 So speak the men who are going to San Francisco to nominate demo- crat for the presidency. What Wis consin was in the way of deterrent to true Americanism during the war, Boston threatens to become after the war. The democrats might do well to have only those people participate in their convention who live in the United States.

GLASS OF SALTS CLEANS KIDNEYS
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers You, Drink Lots of
 Water.

When your kidneys hurt ana your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load yoar stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with mild, harmless salts which removes the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their nor maj activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. h PA hours they strain from it 800 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of water-you can. drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four oul. ces of lad Salts; take a table. spoonful in a glass of water be. fore breakfast each morning for 6 few days and your kidneys vii act fine.

SWEETNESS OF THE MORNING AIR

Everyone recognizes the sweetness and freshness of the early morning air and knows that these attractive properties disappear as the day ad- vances. But so far as analysis goes the composition of early morning air is not different from that of air at any other time.
 During the passing of night to day and of day to night several physical changes occur. There is fall in temperature at sunset and rise again at dawn, and consequently moisture is alternately being thrown out and taken up again, and it is well known that change of state is accompanied by electrical phenomena and certain chemical manifestations also. The formation of dew has probably there fore far more profound effects than merely the moistening of objects with water. Dew is vitalizing, not entirely because it is water, but because it possesses an invigorating action due partly at any rate to the fact that il is saturated with oxygen, and it has been stated that during it's forma tion peroxide of hydrogen and some ozone are developed. It is not i'm probable that the peculiarly attrac tive and refreshing quality that marks the early morning air has origir in this way. The difficulty of in ducing grass to flourish under a tree in full leaf is well known and is gen orally explained by saying that tht tuents of the soil or that it keeps thu sunlight away from the grass anu protects it from rain. It is doubt full whether any of these explana tions is true, the real reason mos probably being that the vitalizing dew cannot form upon the grass under { tree, whereas as rule both rain ant light reach it Sun and New Yorl Herald.
