j The Govern'Hen t propose nation alising the coal industry, allou :ng the owners to receive their present rate of profit and leaving the mens' wages unchanged. The Government will control selling prices and the distribution of the coal fur home con- sump tion, fo-r export, and for shipping. The chief object is to obtain control over the neutral ships which coal at British ports. The Government will be able to stipulate that the vessels to which the coal is sold shall return with specified car- goes.

Lieut. Ithel Jehu Da vies. A GALLANT OFFICER. # lne death in action occuricd 011 oc-ptL.n- ber «iru Of jmeutenant li-nei Jehu navies, xv.W.i?' youngest son 01 ivjr. u -n. navies, d.L., and -Virs. 1/uties 01 »> cion- pool and 01 lsgarn. a au'oourn-e, iout.Ui, at the age of twenty-uvu years. ihe gallant young ofncer belonged to one of tae viuest ourgess laiuiiies 01 the histoTlc n- corporated borough ox Vvelstipooi ana was much esteemed and extremely popular with all the inhabitants, WHO received the news oi his death with sorrow and expressed deep sympathy with 111" bereaved parents and otner mem oers or trio lamiiy. deceased, who was six leet in heigat and well built. was a keen sportsman una of a manly and straightforward nature. Though young, his splendid qualities as soldier we.e evidenced by the fact thac ior some oiuie he commanded a company in the regular bat- talion of the fine regiment to which he be- longed. His letters home wen always cheerful, always speaking in the highest terms of the splendid qualities of his men, but never mentioning any of his own gallant acts. The Uolonel of the 54th Company, R.E., writing to the Colonel of Lieut. Davies's regiment, stated that two sappers who were gassed in a mine asked the writer to send their thanks to an officer in the A Company (Lieut Davies), whose action probably saved the men's lives. In another letter Corporal A. Lewis, P.W.I,. thanked Lieut. Davies for having heell go good to him when wounded. The letter referred to an occasion when Lieut. Davies was out reconnoitring in No Man's Land with two of his men. They were not many s vards from the German trenches and stray shots were continually coming towards them. An explosive builet hit Uorporal Lewis in the knee which made him cry out in pain, thereby reveiihng the position to the enemy who turned l1. furious ine on them. Another niar., was then badly wounded; and without 11 thought of him- self Lieut. Davies got both men back to the British trenches. Lieut H. W. iree- man, an officer in deceased s regiment, writing on behalf of the company to sym- pathise with Mr and Mrs Davies said that Lieut. Davies was a good company com- mander and set a high standard of effici- ency and discipline by his personal energy and example, The company ail missed him greatly. He did his duty as an oflicer and a gentleman and died in the execution of it. Among over 300 letters and messages of sympathy Proiessor V. A. Gilchrist, Armstrong College, wrote that they were all deeply grieved, for Lieut. Davies had endeared himself to everyone in the Col- lege. Not only was he an excellent student, but a leader in the athletic club and a valuable member of the Students Repre- sentative Council. A meeting of the Victoria Cottage Hospital, of which Mr. J. H. Davies is trustee and Mrs. Davies a member of the Committee, and the Welsh- pool Ladies War Working Party have also sent messages of sympathy with the family. Their Majesties the King and ,Queen sent a message of sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Davies. Two of deceased's brothers—Lieut. Stan- ley Davies R.G.A., and Sec.-Lieut. Gilbert Davies—are on active service the former in Hong Kong and the latter in the Indian Mountain Battery on the North West Frontier. They are nephews of Dr. R. i Owen Morris, Birkenhead. On the day Lieut. Davies was killed his close friend and schoolfellow (Lieut. Douglas Black, D.C.M., C de Guerre, was seriously wounded for the second time. While in the trenches Lieut. Divios com- posed a short poem which he dedicated to his mother. It was entitled" Les Heros" and referred to them on the battle-scarred plains of France. itKir strong raitn in tneir tryst ne'er grows dim, Though the "trife has been fierce and long, For they know in the end they must win In the battle of Right against Wrong. And often the tale has been told Of deeds that are noble and brave, How many a hero lies cold, Through trying a comrade to save. iheir deed., through the Empire shall ring j-rong alte. ctie struggle shall cease, Anu we or their glory will sing And thuiK. how tlieir last rest is—Peace. Lieut. Davies was educated at Welshpool Grammar and County Schools and at Arm- otro^.g College. Durham university, being engaged in studying agricultural science at the la tier college when war broke out. He was a member of the University O.T.C., and from that unit obtained his commission in December, 1914. He went out to France in October of last year and with the excep- tion of a short leave, had remained there ever since. Though once slightly gassed he remained at his post, and during his eleven months at the front has never been on the sick list. While at the front he had a strong choir of over thirty voices, and had shortly before he was killed sent for a fresh supply of music for their use. He himself had an excellent bass voice, and before joining was very popular at both Montgomeryshire and Armstrong College concerts. He acted as organist for the Welshpool Presbyterian C.M. Society and had contributed papers and taken part in the debates, and belonged to tHe Newcastle-on-Tyne Trinity j. i esbyteriaii Cnurch Clioir. During His scholastic career, Lieut. Davies took a leading part in all games and aUiietics. He was captain of the Welsh- pool County School lootball Club, a mem- oer ot the vVelsnpool JP .C., and a member or Lieut. Max VV 00snam's cricket team of jiontgomeiyshire 'Varsity men. He won several prizes at athletic meetings at Newtown Ellesnierej Wellington, and Dur- ham Varsity sports. At the College he was secretary oi the Athletic Association, cap- tain of the College Association and Rugby Leams, and a member of the College Boxing Oiub. At the last university sports before the war he was 'Varsity champion in the 100 yards and 200 yards and, thanks largely to inm, his College was second that year, missing top place by one point only. He did noL, however, devote all his energies to the physical side of college life. He was president of the Agricultural Students' Association and a members of the Students' Representative Council. In his last university science examination he gained a first class. He also contributed articles to the College Magazine and wrote the sports notes. Me had been a member of Fair- bourne Golf Club and before the war often played there with his father and brothers. A memorial service, which was largely attended, was held at Welshpool Presby- terian Church last week. The pulpit was appropriately draped Dy the wives of the deacons. Lileut. ilavies's sword was placed on the communion service and a large wreath of laurel was hung near by it. All the hymns, with the exception of the third, were selected by Lieut. Davies for the even- ;ng ^ervice when last at home on leave. The third. "Light of the World," was selected by his parents, with special reference to his brothers on active service in the East. The hymns were impressively sung, Mr C. I. Gwynne presiding at the organ. The Rev Howel Williams, in the course of a mem- orial sermon, said the departed hero's life had been brief but full. He had done well and had done his duty. He had done well at his College and no doubt would have graduated in science.

To DEAF PEOPLE. Deafness and Noises in the Head can now be most certainly cured by the newly-discovered "French Orlene." This new remedy goes right to the actual seat of the trouble, and effects a complete and lasting cure in a few days. One bottle is ipipic to cure any ordin- ary case, and ha,s given almost immediate relief in hundreds of cases which had been considered "hopeless." Try one bottle to-day, which can be for- warded securely packed and post-paid to any address upon receipt of postal or money order for 2s. 9d. There is nothing better at any price. Address: H. T.

THE QUESTION OF HEALTH. There is an old saying A stitch in time saves niue," and if upon the first symptoms of anythng being wrong with our health we were to resort to some simple but proper meana of correcting the mischief, nine tenths of the suffering that invades our homes would be avoided. The body is a machine full of intricate and delicate mechanicism and when one part is im- peded it gradually throws the whole out or gear unless it is quickly put right. A cold. a ch'll, a touch of indigestion or liver complaint, a pain in the loins or the little indiscretions to which in the hurry and turmoil of life we are all prone (such as "ating too quickly, not taking sufficient test, worrying too much over our troubles, etc.. etc.), all tend to bring about a dead lock in some part of the human mechanicism 8 fir a weakening or slowing down of the whole. A good bracing tonic, one that will revitalise and will wind up all the mach- inery, will at such tmes work greater wonders than a long course of nauseous medicines. A dose of Gwilvm Quinine Bitters taken when you feel the least bit out of sorts is just that stitch in time." The question of health is a matter which is sure to concern us at one time or another, especially when Influenza is so prevalent as it is just now, so it is well to know what to take te ward oK an attack of this most weakening disease, this en demic, catarh, or cold of an aggravated l:ld to combat it whilst under its baleful and particularly after an attack, r.or then the system is s* lowered as to be liable to the most dangerous of complaints I Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters is acknow- ledged by all who have given it fair trial to fee the best specific remedy for dealing with Influenza in all its various stages, being a preparation skilfully prepared with Quinine and accompanied with other blood purifying and enriching apgentfi, suitable for tha liver, digestion, and all those ail- ments requiring tonic strengthening and nerve increasing properties. It is invalu- able for those suffering with colds, pneumoira, or any serious illness, or prostration caused by sleeplessness, or worry of any kind, when the body has a general feeling of weakness and laasitude. Don't delay, but try it now. Send for a copy of the pamphlet of testimonials, which carefully read and consider well then buy a bottle (sold in two sizes, 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d.) at your nearest Chemist or Stores, but when purchasing see that the name "Gwilyrn Evans" is on the label, stamp and bottle, for without which none are genuine.
