Bistorp Of Dour Same.
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NowLAH.
POTTINGER

VARIA
RACIAL oRIGlN-EnsIish and Scottish.
SouRCE-An occupation
Here is family name derived from
a word which has undergone a curious
change in meaning. The word was
, originally French, then English, but the
family name developed principally in
Scotland.
The word 'potage," as any one ia
miliar with French knows, means soup
But in the days of the Norman con-
| quest of England it meant particu-
lar kind of soup, rich with herbs and
vegetables, and that seryitor of the
Norman military household who had
charge Of its preparation was known
as '1e potager" or "1e potenger."
The word. however, underwent a
change of meaning, and, owing to the
knowledge of herbs required of the
"potager," and the fact that virtually
all the drugs Of the period were de-
rived from herbs, '.potager'' or ''po-
tenger" came to mean an apothecary.
or, as he is better known today, a
druggist.
Especially in the north of England
and in the Scottish lowlands (where,
by the way, The blood is Teutonic, not
Gaelic), did the word take on this
meaning of apothecary.
The family name, therefore, depend
ing upon the locality in which 1t de-
veloped and the period at which the
name was formed, meant originally
either "soupmaker'' or .apothecary."

Health Hints
By Bernarr Macfadden.

It is now known that, in the case
of women, particularly. many internal
troubles originate in tho improper
carriage of the body, resulting from
excessively high heels. The strain
resulting from the abnormal position
of the body is extremely detrimental
10 it's normal health and functioning.
Tho heel should be slightly higher on
the inner edge than on the outer.
Small heels afford an inadequate base
of support and deprive the body of
the solid foundation it should have.
The socks, or stockings, should al
low ample room for the spread of
the toes. 1t is astonishing to what
An extent stockings OF socks can
compress the feet and prevent their
normal spread Care should be taken,
therefore, particularly during the
carly stages of treatment, to see
that the socks, or stockings are loose,
without being so large as to wrinkle
and pinch the feet.
Artificial methods of maintaining
the arch of the foot are useless, as
methods of permanent cure. AS a rule
no such aid are needed, but at the
very beginning of the treat
ment, if the case be acute and

stand or walk-some support may be
necessary. In that case the fol-
lowing method is recommended:
Obtain a roll of Zinc-oxide adhesive
plaster one and one-half inches wide
by five yards long from the drug
store, diVest the foot of shoes and
stockings, place it in the position
known as "pigeon-toed," and apply
the plaster as follows:
The first strap starts over the outer
ankle bone, passes down the outside
of the foot, under the foot, up over
The inner ankle bone and up the inner
side of the leg.
The second strap starts over this
one. but one inch further front SO
that it ovedlaps the first strap by
half an inch. 1t then passes down
the outer edge of the foot under the
arch, up over the instep, and is then
wound spirally around the leg. A
third narrow strap is placed around
the leg circularly, just above the an
kle, for the purpose of fixing more
nrmly the first two.

Coast Guard Measures
Amount of Salt in Sea

When the United States Coast guard
cutters are on ice patrol duty they
take periodic measurements of the
saItiness of the sea water Is deter
mine the shifts of the sea currents
and the approach of icebergs. The
saltier the water. the more readily 1t
will conduct electricity. The water
near a melting iceberg or foe Is al
ways less salty than that farther
away, for the ice is fresh and as 1t
melts, dilutes the salt water surround
ing 1t.
A new device has recently been de-
veloped by the bureau of standards
whereby the electrical conductivity of
water is measured and Indicated In
terms of saltiness. This new appiica-
ton of electricity to the safety OF
those at sea is expected to be of great
value in giving definite warnings OF
the proximity of icebergs and avert
ing accidents like that which caused
the loss of the Titanic.

CHAPTER VIII
Romance.

No apparent relapse was suffered
by Joe as a result of his quarrel with
his daughter. He saw the papers, of
course, with the sensational accounts
of her elopement. including interviews
with Beatrice, herself, but they were
able to spare him the reporters who
came to get his side of the story.
Jennie, who had come back to the
apartment in response to Anson's mes
sage and stayed fortnight, dealt with
them competently, of course. Two or
three days was all that phase of the
affair lasted. He surprised her by
taking it so quietly, for the papers
were making him look like the theat-
rieal purse eproud father who hadn't
thought an ex-aviator who had fought
in France good enough to marry his
daughter. They made it appear, also,
that George, already in love with Bea-
trice, had taken the job Of chauffeur
in order TO be near her.
Joe's defense was to make Jennie
read the report of the detective
agency, and during the sleepless hours
of the night after she had finishe it,
she was angry and Inundated. She
felt the sting of contempt in the girls
duplicity.

that l was right. l wouldn't have be-
lieved it, except for what's happened"
she admitted.

don't want to know. I've had enough,
Jennie"
She felt, with the report of the de-
tective agency fresh in her mind, that,
like Joe, she'd had enough, and she
tore the letter to bits, unopened. and
dropped them into her Iwaste-paper
basket telling herself as she did so
that this was the end of her concern
with Beatrice Greer
OF course it was not The girl had
been too vital factor in her life dur
ing the past half-year to be dismissed
like that. 1t would have been easier,
she thought during the first of the en-
suing days, to stop wondering about
her if she'd read that letter. 1t was
curiosity that was nagging her, de-
manding satisfaction.
A week or thereabout after she'd
destroyed the letter Beatrice walked
into her office with no more warning
than the tap of knuckle upon her
half,open door. Jennie, who had swung
round in her chair to see who the Wis
itor was, felt herself go limp at the
sight of her. Her face was glowing
with the sting of the wind driven
snow; tiny melted drops of it hung in
her eyelashes, and it lay In drifts i'll
the folds of her fur coat. She blinked
the blur out of her eyes, looked at
Jennie fixedly for a moment. then
stopped and. bruskly, kissed her.

to make this clear to him. The
thought of it ruined Henry's sleep for
the rest of the voyage. He came
straight through to Chicago, leaving
Violet to spend day or two with
Dorothy at Thornycroft, and reported
at once to John.
I'm glad you turned up today"
John said, II was afraid Violet might
have persuaded you to wait and come
on with her-and l wanted a talk with
you as soon as could get it. Greer's
put one over on us, Henry. A smooth

Lord, no. John assured him. "It
isn't your fault. You voted with us
on it. No; we sawed ourselves off
with the limb, while he stood by and
told us he wished we wouldn't. Greer's
got the stock we issued to that fake
inventor.

the present is that he doesn't know
that we know he's got that stock-at

"No," Henry said blankly. Il thought
I would come straight to you first"
"Glad you did," said John, getting

But you had better go over and hook
up with him as soon as you can. We
