SoURcE-PIace Of residence.
The existence of the word "house"
as family name is paradoxical. It
is one of the last words in the English
language which one would expect to
develop into a family name. for fam
lily names of this class, originally de-
scriptive of their first bearers place
of residence, naturally were selected
from some unusual characteristic
Nothing, apparently, could be more
usual than residence in a house
How then, did the word develop into
a family name?
The answer lies in this. the word
house" was not used in the speech
of the medieval English to denote an
ordinary dwelling place, but rather
what we would call today a mansion,
an unusually large building, an un-
usually important one or one devoted
to some special purpose.
The variations of this family name
explain this further. The name NAL
thus. for instance. is simply con-
traction of "malthouse.'' Likewise
Woodus is 'woodhouse," and the name
of Woods is sometimes. though not
always, a further contraction of this
LOTUS is "lofthouse," and Lofts is
merely a corrupted spelling of Lotus.
1.-The house." "the malthouse," etc,
were just the sort of landmarks s
which local populations would use for
Identification of individuals living in
and near them. In the early feudal
days only the freeholders owned and
lived in houses. The nobility and
their followings were quartered in
castles, and the bulk Of the common
people were slaves of the soil apd

Well put a fine roof over that old
nest and We'll have the safest home
we have ever had in all our lives.
Every one who knows of that old nest
knows il is an old one. and no one

the edge of the Green Meadows. and
we can live just as well as we ever
did. and | guess better
Danny looked little doubtful. but
he wisely held his tongue. He had
learned that when Nanny had made
up her mind to anything he might as
we'll agree. So, he half-heartedly fell
to work to help make a roof over that
old nest Before II was finished he
was quite as delighted with the idea
as was Nanny. and together they
worked as only two Meadow Mice can.

GOSPEL MISSION VOTES
TOSTART ENDOWMENT
John c. Let's Starts Fund With
$1,000 Nucleus-$100,000
Drive Under Way.

Establishment by the Gospel Mis-
sion of an endowment fund of money
bequeathed by it's friends was an
nounced last night by Rev. G. w.
Cory, superintendent.
The fund was created following an
offer by John C. Let's, local business
executive, to provide nucleus OF
$1,000 for the endowment. At the
same time Mr.. Let's gave an addi-
ward the 100000 goal now being
sought in city-wide campaign.
Under the endowment plan. money
willed to the mission will not be used
for general operating expenses, as
heretofore, but will be devoted ex-
clusively to enlarging the permanent
endowment. which will be invested to
produce a substantial return.
Supt. Cory pointed out that this Is
a step in the program for placing
the mission on a sound financial basis
and maintaining 1t in business-like
way. OF primary Importance in this
program, he said, was the wiping out
of the existing debts. and 1t was with
q view to this that the present drive
for 100000 was launched. Proceeds
of the campaign will go not only to-
"drQ meeting the QeUclL Outstanding,
but toward broadening the missions s
work in the field of civic and religious
welfare.
Trustees and officers Of the institu-
tion and members OF the campaign
committee will meet this afternoon at
the missions headquarters, 214-218
John Marshall place, to receive first
returns from the canvassing. Plans
will be discussed for accelerating the
listing of pledges in order that the
period of campaigning may not be ex-
tended over several weeks

The Best Cough Syrup
is Home-Made.
Here's an easy way to save So,
and yet have the best cough
remedy you ever tried.


You've probably heard of this we'll
known plan of making cough syrup
at home. But have you ever used
it? Thousands of families the world
over feel that they could hardly
keep house without it. It's simple
and cheap, but the way it takes
hold of a cough will soon earn it
a permanent place in your home.
Into a pint bottle pour III ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified mOlasses,
honey or corn syrup instead of
sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes
good, never spoils, and gives you a
full pint of better cough remedy
than you could buy ready made for
three times its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conquers a
cough-usually in "a hours or less.
1t seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or
tight cough, lifts the phIegn,, heals
the membranes and gives almost i'm
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hOarseness, Group, bronchitis
and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, and has been used for gen.
erations for throat and chest all
ments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2I. ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept
anything else. Guaranteed to give
absolute satisfaction or money re-
funded. The Pinex Co., Fl. Wayne,

Be Careful What You Wash
Your ChilHs Hair With

If you want to keep your child's hair
in good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much free alkali. This
dries tie scalp. makes the hair brittle,
and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoa
nut oil shampoo (which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless) is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling. as this cannot possibly injure
the hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoon
fuls of Mulsified in a cup or glass with
a little warm water, then moisten the
hair with water and rub the MuIsined
in. 1t will make an abundance of
rich, creamy latter and cleanse the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle Of dust, dirt, dandruff and eX-
cess oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and 1t leaves 1t fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo ut any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces will last
every one in the family for months.
