overworked, get sluggish, clog up
and cause all sorts of distress, par

twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness and bladder irritation.

from any good pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water

and your kidneys may then act

from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice. combined with lithia, and has
been used for years to flush clog

The short fur coat is recognized

This group OF family names is de-

In that period of English history
when the Saxon and Norman tongues
had just combined, when Normans and
Anglo-Saxons finally lost their pride
in race for pride in nationality, there
came about a change in the type of
given names. This was no doubt due
in part to the absolute necessity for
more names, for population was in
creasing and the same force which
finally brought about the developm ent

individual also tended to increase the
number OF given names. In that period
there was q general turning to the
Scriptures and to scriptural History IN
search of names.
Naturally Michael, the name OF the
archangel, was q popular one. And
from 1t naturally developed q sur

THE eiectrification of certain lines
Of steam railways in this coun-

lens in connection with the mainte-

amount of overhead structure neces-
sary to carry all the overhead troll

One company has solved this prob
lem in very simple manner by build
ing paint trains with cars construct
ed with platforms that can be raised
or lowered by means of winches. The
train is run under a section OF su-
perstructure needing painting and the
men are hoisted up TO the overhead
wires and bridges.

five bridge cars, a paint car and an
engine. The crew comprises thirty
