THE JUNE "STRAND." Stories of a humorous character-more than ever welcome in these strenuous times—figure largely in the June number of the "Strand," which opefts with "Striking Hard," one of W. W. Jacob's funniest tales. W. Pett Ridge and Barry Pain are also at their best, while "Hash and Rags" by Royal Brown" ntroduces a new American humorist. Sir A. Conan Boyle concludes his detailed account of the Battle of the Somme in 1916, and emphasizes its decisive importance by the statement that it was "the greatest day's "Work in the war."

A Public Benefactor. WONDERFUL SKIN HEALING BY ZAM-BUK. Hfit were possible to prepare a yearly record of the number of instances where seemingly simple injuries have been followed by terrible and even fatal consequences, it would surely make psople realise the necessity for keeping Zam-Buk handy to dress even the most trifling scratch. <> No matter how careful Mother may be in preparing the meals or in cleaning down, she cannot avoid cuts, burns, and scalds, whilst children seem to have a special weakness for knocking and bruising their limbs and faces, and for catcning any prevalent skin and scalp disease. Then there are workshop mishaps. which call for clean, painless healing, and safety from festering and blood-poison. There are two serious objections to ordinary ointments to-day. The first is to the lard or other animal fat in them which soon turns rancid and useless. The second drawback is that they frequently contain coarse mineral poisons which the skin can't absorb- Tlie most successful preparation is Ztsin-Buk, because it is natural and wholly medicinal. Zam-Buk is a unique substance p. -Dared solely from herbal extracts. Nothing else known to Science oerforms the same marvellous healing, or dispels disease from the tissues as Zam-Buk" does. In a natural way belonging to the natural herbs from which it is manufactured. Zam-Buk takes the fire out of a wound, heals up the tissues cleanly, and allays the burning irritation of skin diseases such as eczema. Zam-Buk is a soothing and purifying agent of unparalleled power. Tt draws poison and inflammation cut of the tissues: it quickly cleanses and cures the ringworm-ridden scalp of a c'.ild; and it will rescue the body and limbs from pains and sores that have defied all other rrn ;i-res. Wherever there is a sore, blemish, fe^terin? wound, running ulcer, rheumat'okv ioini, or case of niles, the proper use of Zam-Buk will end the trouble more quickly, and yt itss cost. than anything else. Zam-Buk has such i, -,vi(le .pllgp of useful- ness for every-day !,cp'dent., and disease that no home can afford i~i be without *i« "great- est healer of the twentieth century," sold at Is. 3d. a box by al!

Comforts for Fighters. SUCCESS OF THE CONCERT. Sergeant T.. D. Jenkins, Egypt.—It gives me the greatest pleasure to acknowledge the parcel and card which I think so much of. The cigs. came in time, as we were going to move away from the camp a few fours afterwards and we were in a fix for cigs. It was a Godsend to us. I have seen many Aber boys who have all told me that they receive your parcels regu- larly and also the, card. The weather is very hot and flies are plentiful. May God bring us back safely to our dear ones at home. Sapper J. Roberts, Salonika.-Your wel- come parcel of cigs. to hand a few days ago, while I was in hospital. I was suffering from shell shock, as I was blown up by a shell and it shattered my nerves. I had a marvellous escape, and one of many. Three young fellowjs were killed by the shell and fifteen wounded, so you see that I was very lucky not to be knocked out or wounded; only a few scratches which left me in a queer state. Two of us were coming down with the same complaint. On waking up in the morning in the hosiptal I was surprised to hear that my partner was a lad from Llandre who had been working at Morris, draper, Princess-street. His name is Prvate C. Hughes and we have been together ever since. I am recovering slowly at the con- valescent camp. I was sorry to read in the "Cambrian News" that there were so many Aber. boys missing during the last stunt in France. I hope their parents will hear better news of them, and may God grant the old folks strength to bear wie heavy blows which have fallen on them. The time we have been having has been awful, absolutely murder. Private Evan Jenkins, Salonika.—Just f word to thank you and the Aber friends for your most welcome parcel which I received safely. I enjoyed the contents. I have been down the line lately, and while there I had an attack of malaria, but am getting much- better. T notice that the Y.M.C.A. is getting OH Al, ami I hope it will continue. I should v have a Y.M.C.A. in a more elaborate building as a memorial to our fallen brothers. I am now situated quite near the sea frout where we can see the town and harbour. I have met a few Aber. boys wtto look in good health, but the weather we get out here affects them very soon. The few Christian words you wrote on the card are great, and I shall never iorget them, no matter where I be. When I am down the line I am glad to say I get an opportunity of going to the Sunday services, morning and night, and we have very good sermons. I think it is a great help for us lads to follow in the Lord's steps and He will surely carry us through all dangers and temptations. It has been very lively here lately: but we have had the best of it, as we always do. Rifleman W. Brown, Salonika-I am pleased to inform you that I received the parcel of cigs. safely, for which I am very thankful to you and the Aber. friends. I was also very glad to receive the little card which' I treasure. I was glad to read in the "Cambrian News" of the honour Alfred-place Baptist Chapel bestowed on you. I wish' you long life to. carry on the good work. I think a great deal of your idea of having a memorial hall on the site of tM Skating Rink to our comrades who have fallen. Private L. E. Jones, Salonlka-Words cannot express how pleased I was to get the parcel from my dear friends at home, and it is highly amus- ing to hear inv comrades discussing you and the Aber friends for their good work which brings joy to many a troubled heart. I was pfeased to know that the Y.M.C.A. is a success. Private J.i^t. Jones. Ttaly.—I have the pleasure once more to thank you and the con- tributors to vc*r most welcomed fund for the parcel and also the little card which is at all times encouraging. Private T. G. Humphreys, France-I write in acknowledgment of parcel of cigs. and the beautifully-worded and encouraging little card. I trust you will have health and strength to keep up- the good work. I hope the Y.M.C.A. is progressing. I hope the kind Aber. friends will continue to support you financially until the war ceases Sergeant D. J. Williams, France.—Once more I thank you for your kindness in sending me cigs. It is a great consolation to know that we are not forgotten at home. I should have had my leave if it were not for this push but anyhow when I do get it, I shall thank you personally. Private E. H. Jones, France.—It gives me great pleasure to acknowledge the safe arrival of your most welcome parcel of cigs, for which I wish to thank you very much. As you know by thp letters you receive and the leneth of time YOil have been doing this excellent work, that a cigarette is one of the chief mediums through which a Tommy's life here can be made a little more cheerful. Your little letter card is most cheerful and inspiring. I can assure you that.as regards this offensive, come what may, we are ready, hoping at the same time it will prove a deciding stroke. I again wish you to include me amongst the members of the Y.M.C.A. I wish to thank you for your kindness and wish you every success and good health. This leaves m Al. Sapper D. H. Griffiths, France.—Very many thanks for parcel of cigs. which I received a few weeks ago. W' have been on the move a lot lately, which accounts for my delay in acknowledging the parcel which came in the nick of time. Gunner T. H. Cheshire, France.— Many thanks for the cigarettes which T received last night. They are very acceptable T sssjire vou. It. is good of you and Aber. friends to think of us as you rlo. It helps to cheer us up a bit and makes us think of the good old days gone by. I am pleased to say T am keening emits fE. I hope you will get plenty of support to on the good work. T hope the Y.M.CA. is still

Since I received your plRei I have been wounded and gassed and have been unable to write. I am '¡lad the Y.M.C.A. is prospering at Aberystwytn. I hope to pay a visit to the Y.M. when J. comeyto my dear old home again. Bugler G. Jenkins (also writing for Bugler A. Rogers, France.—Tfianks awfully for your parcel. At present we are down at the base, but are expecting to go up again any day. Since I have been at the base it has been my first time to be in close contact with the W.A.A.C.'s. They interested and amused me very much. Imagine my Surprise while I was watching them one day when one of them came over to me. Apparently she knew me very I well, though I did not know her until a few days later. It was Miss Jones who used to be manageress at Rea's Stores. She told me there were a few more there, including Miss Thomas and Miss G. Samuel whose brother was killed a few weeks ago. I also met Sapper E. Cham- berlain, Corporal Johnny Michael, and last, but not least, Mr. Jim Jones who used to own a few pleasure boats on the beach. Mr. Jones made Corporal Michael and myself not only in- terested, but slightly home sick, probably due to the fact that he. had left Aberystwyth only the morning previous to our meeting. Miss Jones expected tdjt be home in a few weeks. Though they all seem happy and contented with their work, they have rough times, ,as our friend Fritz hardly misses a night in his un- pleasant visits and bombing stunts.
