Volunteer Movement in Cardiganshire. MEETING ,AT A BE R Y STAY Y X H. On hursday evening a public meeting was held at the Town Hall of members of the local, Volunteer Training Corps and all interested in the volunteer movement to consider the constitution of the Corps under new War Office regulations and to determine further 'arrangements. Colonel Davies-Evans, Highmead, lord lieutenant of the county, presided and there were about thirty members of the Aberystwyth Corps present. y The Chairman said he had no need to appeal to the patriotism of Aberystwyth as it had been manifested by the number of men it had sent to the front. They were now, however, entering upon another phase in the country's need and he would ask Mr. Greer to inform the meeting of the position at Aberystwyth. Mr. Greer, commandant of the Aberyst- wyth Corps, said the meeting had been called to consider changes which had taken place affecting volunteers by the new War Office regulations. Hitherto volunteers had been in the charge of the Central Association and were not recog- nised by the War Office or the Govern- ment. Now they were recognised by the War Office as part of the armed forces of the country and the people were asked to form corps in the counties to assist and relieve the regular forces. Volunteers were now required to take the oath of allegi- ance, but could resign on giving fourteen days' notice. In case of invasion the de- fence of the country might be largely placed in their hands. The smallest unit for recognition was a battalion of 600 men and the question was whether a battalion could be raised in Cardiganshire. If not whether it was advisable to un te with an adjoining county. The great question of working men in joining was what work they might be called on to do as volun- teers. He had suggested,to the War Office the establishment of n internmput camp in the neighbourhood of Aberystwyth and if that were done work would be found for them. The immediate question before that meeting was whether they could raise a | body commensurate with the importance J of Aberystwyth and of other towns in the J county or whether they should raise a battalion in conjunction with some other county or counties. The membership of Aberystwyth Corps in the past was not quite what it ought to have been. The maximum number was 112, but the at- tendance had not been quite satisfactory. Men who had gone to the front ac-know- ledged the value of their training in the Corps. The matter of. equipment might have been a hindrance in the past, but there was now an assurance by the Gov- ernment that arrangements would shortly be made for equipment.' Professor Edwards, asked to express his views, said he should be exceedingly sorry to find Aberystwyth ;n the greatest crisis in the history of the country falling short of its duty by not having a volunteer corps. One of the reasons why the Corps was not the success anticipated was that 1 the members beyond trainiior had no work to do. He had experienced much nhysica'l benefit hy joining the Corps. He had better health and had been taught to walk straight. Any mistakes that might have been made in the past could be rectified in future. Councillor Barclay Jenkins also said he had gained immensely by physical training in the Corps. He hoped the Corps would be continued and that the experience would rectify any mistakes in the past. TEe Chairman said he had felt hitherto that the Government was not enthusiastic in the volunteer movement, but there was now a change of attitude and volunteers in future would be equipped and armed by the Government. It rather posed him to know what Cardiganshire volunteers would have to do He therefore asked the question and w:as told it was to guard vulnerable points. On his asking what were the vulnerable points in Cardiganshire he was told there .were none-(laughter)-but there were in Pembrokeshire. He lelt however, that Pembrokeshire was a rich j county and could defend its own vulner- able points. In future volunteers might be wanted to defend the shores of this J country and therefore he thought that Cardiganshire should try to raise a battalion. He calculated on 120 from I Aberystwyth. 50 from Lampeter, and 50 or 60 from Cardigan. He put Aberayron down for 50. but it appeared that Mr. Munro Hughes could provide a much larger number. That would make a total of 250 men -and the question was, could the remainder of the county make up a battalion of 600? Mr Munro Hughes, Aberayron, thought if tribunals required exempted men to join a volunteer corps a battalion could soon be obtained. Mr. Matson said the Aberystwyth Corps began with a, strength of 120 and went down to about 20 tind it would be well to know the cause. The members fell off after the appointment of officers and he should like to know if the Committee en- quired into it. Aberystwyth ought to pro- vide 200 or 250 men. ;yo Mr. Greer thought the tailing otr was largely due to the approach of the summer )eason, to a decrease in the glamour of a new movement, and to men having attained a certain degree of efficiency. It might also be that the appointment of officers caused disappointment. In future the ap- pointment of officers would chiefly rest on examinations. The officers who were ap- pointed were as efficient as any that could be found in Aberystwyth and were pre- pared to submit themselves for examina- tion. With regard to tribunals, Mr Long seemed .at first to think that tribunals could legally impose the condition that exempted men should join a volunteer corps, but now thought that the condition should not be enforced unless it would be in the national interest and fair to the men. It should not be enforced where men were engaged for long hours on work of nation-al importance. Mr. Matson said it was no use attempt- in to re-establish the Corps unless the men of the town were prepared to throw more energy and patriotism into it. Professor Atkin thought that if the Government really required men to form a nucleus for home defence there should be a certain amount of compulsion. The aim at present should be to form a full bat- talion for Cardiganshire. Sergt.-Major Farrow thought, whoever was responsible for the appointment of officers to the Aberystwyth Corps, it was the dutv of the members to loyally accept them. Th", resignation of men was there- fore their dicnrrar>e and not of the men who remained If Aberystwyth could not vol- untarily keen un -a corps Government should require all capable men to ioin and help in the grpat cause.

THE QUESTION OF HEALTH. I THE Qt,ESTIO-.N OF f:IEA-LTii. There is an old saying A btitch in time saves nine," and if upon the first symptoms of anythng being wrong with our health we were to resort to some simple but proper mean. of correcting the mischief, nine tenths of the suffering that invades our homes would be avoided. The body is a 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 of gear unless it is quickly put right. A cold, a chill, 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 proue (such as "ating too quickly, not taking sufficient .t, worrying too much over our troubles, etc.. etc.), all tend to bring about a dead took in some part of the human mechanicism or 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 Gwilym Evans' 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 to ward off an attack of this most weakening disease, this epidemic, catarh, or cold of an aggravated kind to combat it whilst under its baleful influence, and particularly after an attack, for then the system is so lowered as to be liable to the moat dangerous of complaints Gwilym Evans" Quinine Bitters is acknow- ledged by all who have given it fair trial to be 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 agents, suitable foT the liver, digestion, and all those ail- ments requiring tonic strengthening and nerve increasing properties. It is invalu- able for those suffering with colds.

(continued from previous column.) inefficiency of the corps's officers. He thought the corps should be carried on. Mr. Matson said he did not tomplain of the officers, but merely pointed cut that the falling off of membership occurred after the appointment. Mr. Morton thought the officers had justified their (appointment. If anyone said to the contrary it was childishness and disloyalty. Mr. O'Sullivan said the fact that none but members of the Corps attended that meeting showed that there was not much enthusiasm in the town in the volunteer movement. He suggested that the town should be canvassed for members and that a further meeting should be held. Professor Atkin proposed that the Corps should be carried on and that it should be referred to the Committee to imme- diately consider ways and means of increas- ing membership and report to a future meeting.. fr. Dickens Lewis seconded the pro- i position and if was agreed to, Mr. Lewis Evans suggesting that the Committee should also produce a balance sheet. The Chairman said the question then was what to do with the rest of the county. He had placed his hopes in what Aberystwyth and Aberayron were doing to influence, other parts of the county. Cardigan, New- castle Emlyn, and New Quay did not seem inclined to take the matter up and at Lampeter where the movement started we'll interest seemed to have diminished. He should again tackle Cardigan now it was seen that volunteers were wanted and if he could tell other parts of the county that Aberystwyth and Cardigan were doing something it might result in a bat- j talion being formed for the county. It was rather a county matter than a matter of one town only, for if Aberystwyth raised a corps of 200 it would not be recognised bv the War Office. The appontment of i officers ,was of course important. The ap- pointments really rested with him, but he cotfld delegate to a deputy or to the .com- mandant. At any rate officers ought to be appointed in some way or other with the will of the men an have their full ap- proval. A vote of thanks to the Lord Lieutenant for his attendance and assistance termina- j ted the meeting.
