VARIATIONS - Frederlcks, Friedrich,

RACIAL ORIGIN - English, German,
Scandinavian, italian, Spanish.
SOURCE - A given name.
Family names in this group are all
derivatives of the given name of
Frederick or its equivalents in the
various languages mentioned.
To some it may be a matter of won
der that a given name palpably OF
enough to have developed into a
family name among such races Is the
Italian and the Spanish. The answer
lies in the fact that the so-called
Latin races are considerably more
Latin in language than they are in
blood. While the Teutonic element
may not predominate in them. 1t is
largely represented in the blood of
the conquering Goths of medieval
days. who swept over the ruins of
the Roman Empire.
The given name of Frederick is of
TelEon:c origin. It's original form
was "Frithuric" and 1t was a compound
of the words "frithe," meaning
peace" or peaceful" and "ric."
meaning king or ruler" 1t is 10
be noted that this word "ric" has it's
counterpart in the Celtic "rix" and
high" as we'll as the Latin rex

Fredsen is Scandinavian, and Fredo

The Old Gardener Saws:

1t is at this season that water
is most needed in the garden,
as rule. Water is OF the
greatest benefit in improving
the side and quality of both
vegetables and flowers. More
or less water is wasted, how
ever, IL IT is given in the middle
of the day because of rapid
evaporation. The best time to
water the garden is in the late
afternoon or evening. Little is
accomplished when the ordi-
nary sprinkler is used. If the
water comes through a hose, let
It run freely over the ground.
If 1t must be carried in the
watering pot, let 1T run from
the open nozzle. In that way
enough will be applied to soak
into the ground and reach the
roots, instead Of merely moist
ening the surface.

Bleaching the Skin.

If you have a dark or sallow skin
and want to make 1t whittier, I'd sug-
gest the following treatment: First.
as the sallowness may have an in
ternal cause. take a tablespoonful of
white mineral oil every night. or eat
a teaspoonful Of agar-agar every day
mixed with your food, so you'll be
certain the eliminative functions of
the body are in proper order. Often
this is enough to make a muddy skin
quite clear and white.
If it isn't, while you are still pur-
suing this treatment, and eating lots
of salad and fruit and fresh green
vegetables as well, try external
bleaches. Make up my cleansing
cream formula, but put in cucumber
juice instead of rose water. Make a
cucumber lotion. Buy some oatmeal
soap and some oatmeal powder-or
powdered oatmeal, as some drug
stores call it-and make UP dozens

The Call of the Trumpet.

If the trumpet give an uncertain
sound, who shall prepare himself for
war?-I cor, xiv.S.
Every man, like the knight in the
old legend, Is born on a field of bat
tie.
But the warfare is not carnal. 1t is
spiritual.
Not the east against the west, the
north against the south. the "haves"
against the "have-nots"; but the evil
against the good-that is the real
conflict of life.
The question for each one of US is
not only, ION which side do I count?"
but also, ITO which side do call?"
If we really wish the good to pre-
vail we must be willing to say so as
well as to do so.
Make no secret of your allegiance
to the good cause IN which you be-
lieve. even though personally you may
fail and fall.
Condemn yourself II need be. but

of little bags from cheesecloth with
handful of oatmeal tied in each.
Buy bottle of peroxide. Then you're
ready for the treatments.
Cleanse the skin first with the
cream, wipe it off and wash the face
with hot water and the oatmeal soap.
Rinse first in hot, then cold water.
Dilute a little peroxide with cold
water (about half and half), soak a
little sponge in it and rub this all
over the face. neck and other parts
to be bleached. Wipe off-and that's
all. But at night use the cucumber
lotion instead of peroxide Use the
bags in your bath, one in each tubful.
This isn't a difficult treatment and
the results will delight you. The pc
roxide Is drying, but that is counter
acted by the first use of cream.
Everything in this treatment cleans
and clears the pores, makes them in
yisibly fine, drains off whatever is
causing sallowness and dinginess,
gives the blood better chance to
circulate and lend its pink glow to
your cheeks-in short, rejuvenates
your complexion.
