| MORE WAGONS. I I A I I I Need of the Anthracite I Trade. Important statements on the extended use of anthracite in-borne industry were made at an informal meeting of Swansea Chamber of Commerce on Friday after- noon, Mr. Arthur Andrews (president) presiding. In connection with this a strong resolution on better railway facili- ties was to the Coal Controller and the HQilway Executive. ■ Mr. Stanley Cook raised the matter I which, he sad, was of the utmost import- ance to all interested in the anthracite tiade. An Order had just been issued by the Goal and Coke Supplies Committee of South Wales and Monmouthshire m re- gard to the supply and distribution of anthracite inland. This came into opera- tion on the lith, October, and was the re- sult of the difficulty into which the an- thracite trade had got, and was regarded by those of them who welt in .the know as the only way out of the im- passe. In future the anthracite collieries had to send a certain percentage of their coal inland. I CLEARING THE SIDINGS. I It was to the utmost interest of every- body concerned that the Order should be made a sue cose, so he moved a resolution, ro be sent to the Coal Controller and the Railway Executive, to the efleet that the meeting, in emphasising the importance of ensuring the regular working of the collieries, was of opinion that this could not he done unless tnerailwfiY companies were compelled to supply, where neoas- mry, sufficient, railway wagons to keep the cciiieries working, and to see to tho daily clearance of colliery sidings. Fxir- the-re, there should be a speeding up of wagons on their journeys, as the timet now taken was altogether unreasonable. MORE FOR HOUSE CONSUMER. I This resolution was seconded, and Mr. ( Pa ul Cocks pointed out that collieries which sent a considerable portion of their output for shipment required less wagons than those which sent a considerable por- tion for home consumption, because i wagons were much longer on their jour- neys with the latter. To-day, pro]-)ably owing to the scarcity of other qualities, I the demand for anthracite had increased to an enormous extent until the Supplies Committee had given these stringent in- structions to anthracite collieries to ^nd a certain quantity of their output, which I w- uld be fixed every week, to the home consumers. Every anthracite oollierv owner was agreed that the home consumer must be cared for, but unfortunately some of them, with the best intentions, were unable to ca-rry out the instructions be- cause of insufficiency of wagons. In this they miift have the assistance of the rail- way companies. Making calculations -on 470 wagons, and allowing IS d"ys for their return after- home trade, he fcrund tbat on the average each of them 0ccupied 27.tt dayp over and abovo those 18 days. In 1912-13 they would have returned in eleven to twelve i days. In addition 10 per cent. of the [ wagons tboy used in 1914 were now with ) the railway I RESTRICTION OF OUTPUT. Mr. C. E. in supporting the ro- quest for the resolution, said he believed if thoy had regular working they could keep tli regular exporters sup- plied in addition to finding the stipulated quantity far the 110111" consumers, but to avoid. sudden stoppages tbev must1 hare more wagons ?han there were in the trade at present. I About double the quantity of zi,?thrac4'?to used inland in 1914 would have to be I. (Continued at foot of net column).

APPETITE THE TEST. if You Cannot Eat, Digestion is Faulty. There is no surer sign of a disordered stomach than a poor appetite. If you a,re digesting your fowl properly you are. bound to be hungry when meal-time conies round. Tlto first sign that now, healthy blood is being made by Dr. Williniiis, pink piilg is that you enjoy a bigger menl. That rich, red blood makes you put. What is more, it enables you to derive benefit frot3a your food. The thin, dyspeptic, man who turns away from his breakfast is in the same miserable state as the anaemic girl. Anfemia, in fact, affects men and youths just a* often as girls, only it. is not recog- nised so soon. Imperfect digestion and lack of appetite ar(k common signs of this antenna, and a tonic that ie a specific for thin blood improves the digestion, with the result that the improved digestion hastens the correction of the a-acemic con- dition Dr. Wmiarns" pink pills are TIIE tonic for the blood and nerves. They begin at once to strengthen the digestion and steadily build up the system weakened py worry or overwork. Tho rich, red blood they make soon shows in cheeks and lir»?, tho step is quickened, the eyes brighten, and the good offset is felt throughout the I body. The great usefulness of this tonic treat- ment for indigestion and anremia if clearly shown in the case of i r.

Acute pains between my shoulders followed every meal, and I was troubled, with heartburn. Dreadful dragging pains, across my back was another upsetting symptom.

My nerves went all to pirres, The slightest knock on the door made me I break out into heavy perspiration. I ? Splitting headache troubled me, and 1 became so weak that 1 had to stay in 1){'{11 .for weeks. I lost weight, every scrap of colour left my face, and my lips went per- fectly white. Bottle after bottle of medi- cine I took, but I got no better. I had advice, and was told I was suffering from acute anaemia, and indigestion.

I I "THE AA TTOIR I Prf ^nt Building to be I Improved. A new slav.difor-house, or an improved oM one? This was the question that occupied the attention of the Swansea f Markets Commit too, who met on Wednes- day afternoon, Councillor Peacock in the ehair. The Market? Manager (Mr. J. W. D?\ie<s) submitted a report tr?m t!? deputation drawn from the committee who recently ns¡ted c?rt??i abattoir?, indudin th? modern ones at Belfast and Edinburgh. They considered a modern, up-to-date slaughter-house at Swansea neocs<iry. The site of the present build- ing, which was built in 1887. ilvey con- f.idered too narrow, and badly equipped for the work. The absence of an adjacent. !zidiiig niilita',cd against adequate j reception and despatch. The ca? for im- provements resolved itMdf thU8: (1) Alt?rutiuns to present buildings, or (2) i erecti mi of modern, np-to-dut? slaubhter- hou-o on another site. Th? report went on to (Mail the present j dimensions ?'i the "la nghter-l10u, and a plan of alteration that could be effected II tn the present buildings was submitted, v.ith ?hich ?ha wholeealo butchers a-TCcd. [j NEAR RAILWAYS. I Commenting on the report, the Manager | emphasised that in oih r towns the s laughter-houses were always adjacent to railway accommodation, and the cattle I were brought alongside and were trans- ferred to the abattoirs with the mini- ¡ mum inconvenience. The overhead gear I in these premises also obviated the cattle II unnecessarily handled. The Chairman agreed, and particularly i ¡ pointed out the desirable facilities they had oncoupt^red fa? conveying a.nd weigh- I mp; the cattle. TSe point fur the com- mit tee now w;m whether they would de- cide to pass a resolution to adapt the present premisos, which would then be I suitable for another ten years or so, or I whether they were going in for new. up- S to-date buildings on another site, which j would last them a hundred years. Mr. Harding said that in view of the j important questions the committee I already had before them in the shape of II housing, etc.. he thought to adapt the I premises so that they would be useful for another ten years would be the best j course. II ARCHITECT TO DRAW UP SCHEME. II Mr. Ball thought that the abattoir workmen thMMfdves should voice an I opinion on the matter. Moreover, the committee them&h-es should visit the spot ?for<? coming to a decision. Mr Harding proposed that the architect should draw up a plan showing the stig- gested improvements, and giving an esti,. mate of the cost. Aid. Cfory agreed, and said that things should be hufrisd along. Mr. Harding's proposition was adopted, and also Councillor Ball's suggestion to visit the slaughter-house one day when working.
