Griffiths) said the increased cost was accounted for by the grant of more cash relief and the rise in the cost of food. MASTERS SALARY. The Clerk informed the Board that in con- sequence of the change in the office of matron. it was necessary that the master (Mr. F. Powell) should be re-appointed. Mr. John Davies moved that the re-appoint- ment be made on the existing terms, and the Rev. H. Griffith seconded. Mr. Stokoe moved as an amendment that the salary be increased by J;15 per annum. He said Mr. Powell had been master for consider- ably over 2.0 years, and under his management the house was a model institution. The present emoluments were very small, and they should take the opportunity of. the re-appointment to increase them. Mr. Butcher pointed out that they could not make an increase without notice of motion. Mr. Stokoe withdrew his amendment and gave notice, and the re-appointment resolution was carried. It was stated that the Master, aged 49, had been placed in Grade 2. and it was resolved that the Chairman and Clerk should support an application to retain him in the service of the I Board. SUPERANNUATION ALLOWANCE. The Clerk reported that the actual amount of superannuation allowance payable to Miss Williams, late matron, was 927 Is. 2d. yearly, and the amount due from her as contributions for the period when it was thought she could not qualify for superannuation was £ 1-1- 4s. 4d.

SUMMER WEARINESS. Why is it. that to so many people, the warmv Summer months mean discomfort and even misery ? They are happy and apparently healthy enough when the weather is cool and bracing, but^^hen the warm, humid days of Summer come round, they are irritable and depressed and seem altogether lacking in energy and vitality. Why is it ? In tens of thousands of cases it is simply a matter of digestion. The stomach, liver and bowels are apt to become sluggish and lazy in hot weather, and when they shirk work the whole system suffers as a natural consequence. Headaches. langour. and loss of energy are traceable in countless instances to faulty action of these important organs, and all that is needed to restore them to natural activity and efficiency is the gentle stimulating and regulating action #f a digestive tonic and corrective, such as Mother Seigel's Syrup. If you are feeling limp and listless. and lack the energy and vitality which should be yours. try the effect of taking from 20 to 30 drops of Mother Seigel's Syrup in a little water, after each meal.and note the difference it makes in your physical condition and enjoy- ment of life.

IMPORTANT ESTATE SALE AT BRECON. Lord Glanusk Disposes of Peterstone & Trebinshan Estates. On behalf of Colonel the Right Hon. Lord Glanusk, C.B., D.S.O., Messrs. Stephenson and Alexander, of Cardiff, offered for sale by auction at the Castle Hotel, Brecon, on Friday afternoon last, the Peterstone Court and Tre- binshun freehold agricultural estates. The two properties, which have historic associations, are near the county town, lie mostly in the fertile valley of the Usk. and are within easy distance of railway stations. They comprise some 2,o00 acres in all. and include a number of most desirable farms. Great interest was taken in the sale, and there was a very large and representative attendance, with spirited bidding for nearly every lot. Mr. John Alexander officiated, and in the course of his opening remarks, referred par- ticularly to some of the conditions of sale. In addition to a deposit of 10 per cent. of the purchase money, he said, buyers would have to pay that day 1 | per cent. on their purchase as auctioneers fees, and 11 per cent. as solicitors' fees, and the purchase would have to be com- pleted by the 29th September, at the office of the solicitors in London. Replying to a question. Mr. Alexander said the l l per cent. for solicitors' fees would not include the cost of the conveyance. Replying to another question, he said they would be quite willing for the deeds to be sent to Brecon and for the completion to take place there. Mi-. John Smith, a tenant, said he objected to the conditon as to the fees, which had never been used in the county before. Mr. Alexander There are the conditions, and we intend to sell by them, and if you don't like them you can stay out. We stand or fall by them. Mr. Smith asked if the fees applied to the woodlands allotted to each farm, and Mr. Alexander said yes, the fees were payable on the amount of the purchase money. A PIECE OF CONSECRATED GROUND. An interesting point mentioned by Mr. Alexander was the receipt of a letter from the Bishop of Swansea, in which he pointed out that at Dolymaes (one of the lots) there was a piece of consecrated ground, and asked them to take it out of the sale. He (Mr. Alexander) believed that at one time there was a church on the site. He was afraid they could yot take the piece of land out of the sale, but they drew attention to the Bishop's suggestion, and it might be that the purchaser would feel at some timobinclined to make a gift of the land to the Church. They could not do anything, because they could not define the site. Various faults had been found with his client, added the auctioneer, for putting this property into the market. His.action had been criticised adversely and otherwise. He (Mr. Alexander) had not come there with the object of explaining why they were in the market sufficient it was that they were in the market. There were no excessive or restrictive reserves. Provided there was straightforward and bona fide competition for the various lots, they intended to sey. He hoped the various tenants would acquire their holdings, and if they were bidding he would do his best to knock the property down to them as soon as he could. It was no use discussing why they were selling it was a great deal too long a story to go into that day. Details of the Sale :— PETERSTOXE COURT ESTATE.

I ILANDDEf FARMER KILLED. Unaccountable Riding Accident. Mr. W. Jones-Williams, deputy-coroner for North Breconshire, held an inquest on Satur- ¡ day afternoon on the body of Thomas Prosser. 47, farmer, of Gelligeloges Farm, Llanddew, near Brecon, who died that morning from injuries received the previous evening through being thrown from his horse not far from his home. The Rev. R. Meredith Jenkins, rector of Llanddew, was foreman of the jury. Evidence of identification was given by Mrs. Jones (wife of Deputy Chief Constable Jones, j of Brecon), a cousin of the deceased, who added that Mr. Prosser was a married man with nine children. Dr. Rees, Brecon, stated that he received a request shortly before 10 p.m. on Frictay to attend the deceased and arrived at Gelligeloges about 10-20. He found deceased lying in bed in a state of coma with all the symptoms of fractured base of the skull, and there was absolutely no hope of recovery. The injuries were undoubtedly the result of a fall on the head, and there was probably severe injury to the brain. Joshua Parry, farmer, the Castle. Llanddew. deposed that he saw deceased between 9 and 9-30 p.m. on Friday at Llanddew. riding an entire chestnut horse in the direction of home. The horse was walking and deceased had perfect control. Witnses knew the horse to be a very quiet one, he had never known it to run away or get out of control, and even the children could drive it. Deceased was quite sober. About ten minutes after they parted witness saw deceased lying on the road from 300 to 400 yards further on. Geoffrey Bernard Shapland, of Brecon, said I he was an officer discharged on account of wounds, and was helping at Gelligeloges Farm for the harvest. He was in Brecon with deceased on Friday and left him there quite sober in the evening. Replying to a question by the Coroner, who said it was as well to dispose of a rumour on the matter, witness said there was no talk during the day between him and deceased and his friends about a trotting match. Continuing. Mr. Shapland said Mrs. Prosser came home from Brecon in the evening in the float and witness rode behind. After attending to' a farm matter lie got his horse out of the stable again and went to meet Mr. Prosser. having promised to do so. Not far from the farm he met the deceased's horse galloping down the lane. and having caught it and tied it to a gate lie galloped up the lane looking for Mr." Prosser. At the bend he found him lying on his back across the road. Deceased opened his eyes I and tried to speak, but collapsed. Close by witness found the saddle, with the girth strap broken. The girth, a single one. was in a bad state of repair. The horse was covered with White dust all along the left side and was grazed on the shoulder and flank, but the knees were not marked. Witness procured help and deceased was taken lioirw. He never recovered consciousness and died that morning. It was possible that the horse stumbled and that the deceased, a heavy man, in trying to pull it up pulled it over and that the girth strap broke in the fall. in the fall. The Coroner, in summing up, expressed sympathy with the family and remarked that Mr. Prosser was known as a good farmer and a good judge of stock. and they must deeply regret his tragic end. A verdict of accidental death was returned. and on behalf of the jury the Rev. R. M. Jenkins said they were very sorry for Mrs. Prosser and the children. I The members of the jury and the witnesses present gave their fees to the Penoyre Red Cross Hospital.
