POINTS OF VIEW. MR. ASQUITH'S MEETING. By J.M.H. The long-cxpectcd meeting is now a tilling Of the past. Wha., have wu ganed by it,e We have ga.ned this. Interest in the great politico problems of the day Las been quickened. A moribund people politically tail 80n easy prey to the quidnunc, the flunkey, or the b usterer. Liberalism as a political creed has nothing to lose and every-tbing to g&in by publicity and discussion. The County Conservative Associa. tion is apparently propagating its creed by hold- ing small meetings in hamlets and villages in support of tiie Govemmont which is suggestive. The Liberals of the county have held, during the current year, two striking demonstrations: the first a Lampeter when about 500 dele- gates were addressed by Mrs. Lloyd George, and the second on Friday, the 31st October, at Aberystwyth, when. Mr. Arquith spoke to a mass meeting of 2,000. The "Member for -C Treorky'' calls this with his Q^aracteristc plea- santry," "serving two masters." It looks like it to men of suspicious and attenuated pclit-cal minds. It msy be also a symptom of political intelligence and independence. Lord Loreburn when he was Lord Chancellor is reported lo have said: "I am cursed with the facultv of seeing both sides of a question." Perhaps the constituency of the ounty of Cv-i-diga is thus cursed. But in tiie critical situation in which we are placed it should be a curse that may develop inip a b essing. « It would appear that Coalitions cannot las', for over and that Party Government is in- herent to the 1emper of our people. and that it in the aptest instrument to restrain corrupt tendances Epd h promote the highest welfare of the State. It be, tlierefore, that 'he Liberals of the county are seers and pioneers in anticipating liio difUcuFiies that will have to be faced sooner or later by every constitu- ency. Ig Liberalism as a political organiza. tion to emerge out of the fires of '.he last and to attain to the vigour of a re- juvenated existence? Than is tJhe question tbain should occupy, and is occupying, the attention of the County Liberal Association, and every constituency in the United King- dom w I have to think it out. A special correspondent of one of the South Wales papers was careful to note hhat he had evidences "that there was a strange desire to make it known that the town of Aberystwyth had no voice in the invl at-ion to Mr. Asquith I or in the arrangements for Friday's meeting." I am quits sur( that the correspondent met Aberystwyth poiple who migh'. have uttered such an asseveration of so'f-indulgent virtue. But then those people had forgotten that in this case "the whole is greater than the part;" that Cardiganshire is something di:;tin_ guishable from Aberystwyth, and Ihnt it was possible for nonc1e3cript Liberals outside Aber- ystwyth to organise a meeting in Aberystwyth thaf was 'o opwii tiheir eyes," and that "success would succeed." And whi st thus answering our ,critics it should be. asserted with emphasis tliei it was an Aberystwyth delegate who at the Liberal Executive Com- mittee propped to invite Mr. Asquith. Fur. thermore, his fact, should be emblazoned in conspicuous quartets-that the Liberal Club of Aberystwyth gave most valu a-ble and indis- pensable services in staffing and stewarding and in ai the help tha'' was required to carry so big a meeting through. In one of the newspapers, there was an observation. t"o, that wcJl-knpwn Aberyst- wyth Liberals were conspicuous by "heir absence. Perhaps so, Wa" Mr. Vaughan Davies in the writer's mind? His absence did not me-an very much. Also there a/re every- where men who wiH take ali the pampering and sprfcn.feeding, and yet will whimper dis- eonso ately. They nit on vantage places tio 1Ifal'cl1 the game, and patroniz0 the p(,-)pe who plary to win, and when Mrsi Lk\yd George visited Aberystwyth, six months ago, it was reported that the "reception" given to her did noij excel in alacrity and heartiness She had to go to Aberayron and Lampeter for these qualities. We, the erstwhile officers of t.he County Liberal Association, ma 7 lure fore* join thoso children sitting in the narket place casing to their feliows at Aberystwyth and frying We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto y'lu, and you have not lamented." Then we, are twitted by a Cardiff month y I periodical with poutifical infallibility, "that Asquithian Liberal:?1 m etc., is a. mere corpse," f as much as to say you did quite the wrong thing in asking Mr. Asquith to Aberystwyth." It will take a very long time for Cardiff patriots to persuade the peojJe of Cardigan, shiro to worship the idealistic—nationalistic cal?—whicu they arc manufacturing. In tile meanwhile wc will go our own way; believing and anting on the belief that the spirit of Lib- eralism is mdestructabla. Why call it e rn "Asqnithian Liberalism?" Asquith is merely the illustrious survival cf a school to which Gladstone, Bright, Bannermnn, Henry Richard. Stuart Reudol, and Tom ø lis belong. Each had his personal, pcJit cal sympathies and pre- dilections. Gladstone did nob care for Dis- establishment. Bright repudiated Home Rule. Henry Richard w:)".).]d not have war under any conditions. But they were all Liberals. It is a condescension on the part cf the cra.da to admit that he (Mr. Asquith). being an educated man," knew something of political thought and history. The reader will punctuato the word "something" and note tho vast height frcm wbick the compliment -falls. It waitM help to priek the bladder of the critic's oonccit if he wore at the luncheon when Mr. Teify Jones proposed the t/a'-t of "our illus. trious guest," and if lie nuvked the effect, of the word-, on the immobile face of Mr Asquith and on the mobile faoes of tho sixty members of the Executive of the Cardiganshire Liberal Association who were his l)o"t. Said Mr To:fy Jones with his inimitable shrewdness, homeli- ness, and humour, We are' Liberals, pUl-e and pimple, but not quite so simple as not to know what we are about." But wJi,t about the meeting? Wedl., it is safe to say that Liberals from every district in the county were thero, of every degree cf in- tensity of every shade of colour. For presum- ably, unlike the intense uniform green of Cardiff national idealism, we havo a variety oi bloom, growing frcm a common stock. I met also men from Portmadoc, DolgePey, Machynlleth, Bar- mouth, Tcwyn, Birm-tigliam, Carmarthen, Llandovery, and Swansea who had come to Aberystwyth for the meeting. And this is mCrf¡Y indicative of the hoberomerous character of tfie gathering. The hall will accommodate 2,000 people, and it wa, full. The platform was occupied mainly by the members cf the Executive C mmittce and leading Liberals from many district-. Sir John Williams, Bart., sat next to the speaker. Sir Jol.n, PrcfessOj. Zim- morn. and Mrs. P. Hughes Griffiths wtTe the only poople at Aberysstwyth whom Mr. Asqu-th know. tie called Sir John an old friend, and Prof. Zimmorn an int.mate acquaintance. When Mr. Asquith came on to the stage with hiE daughter (Laxly Bonham Carter). they received a hearty welo me. The interruptions oi the students were not coruvcatiens of wit. When they nec.tod Wlio won the war? Uoyd George wJn the we,r," I (I,, not think anyone wislied to object. But people unused to the amctaities of college culture were unable to appreciate tle inten-uptivo, boistcz-c-tic, laughter which f;]1--vod many a wisliy-wasliy remark. Mr. Asquith way. a'lowed to spo-ak without in- teirruption. Mr. Asquith paid his audie«co t>o highest compJiraent by speaking on high matters cf State. The people.p^cd him ti e best "compliment at thtdr d"k p .saJ, viz., that, of lis- cning intently. What did he, say? He said that the Liberal cresid should be revered and avowed and made a vehicle of reform and prepress.

The Mayor refet-red to the loss ex-Councilor Davies had sustained by the death of his wife, and Councillor Bartlett, who had lost his brother. He 'proposed votes of condolence which were agreed to by members upstanding. Mr. Ashman read his report of work done in October. A communication was read from the Secre- tary of Lampet-er-Llandilo Railway asking the Council to render assistance. Evidence was given that Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire County Councils had agreed to support the scheme. The Council had complained to the Great Western Railway Company that pens at the Station were inadequate for the trucking of cattle and sheep on mart days, and a reply was received that the pens were sufficient. It was resolved to write to Mr Carter, divisional superintendent at Swainsea.-Tlio accommoda- tion for cattle and sheep at the station, it was a'leged, was totally inadequate. Atl a re- cent mart seventy cattle and 1,300 sheep could not be sent away because there were no trucks. In connection with the proposed Intermedi- ate School for girls at Lampeter, Alderman Walter Davies was appointed to represent the Council at a conference atf Cardiff to discuss the subject.

Wit- ness had a search warrant to search for forged Treasury notes. In the kitchen he told accused the object of his visit and went upstairs with accused. In his bedroom be took his coat from a 1 wardrobe and from a pockot took a El i Treasury note which he gave to witness. The note, which he marked, had been in his posses, I sion ever smce and, in his opinioh, was forged. 11 When charged with having at Aberystwyth uttered forged El TrMsury notes. accused re- plied What has happened would not have happened only for the ill-heaith of my wife and myself and of the great expense to which I have been put. We: are both consumptive.! The County Tuberculosis Officer advised my wife to go to Tregaron Hospital and I have' decided to send her to Swansea to be operated on. Her parents live near and can visit her there. There areo restrictions, as she would be under the care of a. private doctor. I" was in the army from July, 1916, to February, 1919, since which time I have not been able to work owing to ill-health." From a smn leather bag accused handed him twelve photographic papers and two sheets of plain paper with which he made the notes. Tho plain paper was of the same quality as that on which the forged notes were printed. A cused was again charged that morning with having at Cardigan, on November 3rd being in possession of a forged £1 currency note and, in reply, said "I havo nothing to say" .-Cross-cx-,imined He did not make a thorough search of the house and did not look for other notes than those accused gave him. To save annoyance a.nd trouble accused offered to produce all the forged notes he had in the house and the material for mak_ dng the nrotes. Arthur Jones, manager of London Joint City and Midland Bank, said that early on Novem- ber 1st a second series £1 Treasury note came into his possession from Mrs. Thomas, a cus- tomer. The note was identical with the forged note put in by the "Chief Constable, having the same number. After receiving tho note he communicated with the police. Another eus- tomer had brought in another- note. He had no hesitation in saying that they were forgeries because the paper was a iittfe smaller than the genuine second series, the imprdessoa was blurred, there was rio, waiter mark, and the forged notes bore the same number. It was impossible for two genuine notes to have the I same number. On the forged notes the words and figures "one pound" and "G.R." did not ajppeir in the water mark as on genuine notes. In his opinion, the forged notes were phcto- graphs of a genuine note. William David Ladd was then charged with havmg had a forged note in his possession. He pleaded not gifcilty and reserved his defence. He did net give evidence, or call wit. nosses. He was committed for trial at the next Assizes. The five prisoners were then charged with having uttered forged notes at Mr. Arthur Owen's tailor shop, Chalybeate-street, and at the Central Cafe, North-parade. Annie Rs, 5, Crynfryn-buildings, assist- ant to Mr. Uwen, said that on October 31st, date of Mr. Asquith's visit, when there were many visitors in the town, sh was in the shop alone at three in thp afternoon when Mrs. Ladd came in and asked for Cardigan jackets without sleeves. She said there''were none, but showed what there was in shop. Mrs. Ladd went out and returned into the shop with four others. Mr. and Mrs. Ladd wore glasses then, but not in court. All looked at the coats which they said would not do for them. Mrs. Ladd said they would try the other Owen's and asked William David Ladd if he wanted j anything else. He said lie could do with a tie and chose two ties worth 5s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each. Mrs. Ladd also bought a pair of sus- penders at 3s. 9d for him, the total amounting to 14s. Wiliiam David Ladd asked who was going to pay, and Mrs. Ladd said she was. She handed a £1 Treasury not from her bag, and witness gave her 6s. change. The note was not accepted at the bank next morning and was returned to Mr. Owen.—Cross-examined She put the note in the till and handed all the takings to her employer that night. She thought the note was genuine until she took it to the bank. It was the only second series £1 note taken that day. In order to prove felonious intention, further evidence that prisoners acted in concert was given by Gwladys Ann El.is, waitress at Fel- lowes Cafe, North-parade. On October 31st, '¡ between 11.30 and noon, the fiVë prisoners came in and one of the men asked if dinner, was ready. They remained an hour. She served them with dinner which cost 14s. Mrs. Ladd paid with a £ 1 note and, wheft1 asked if she had smaller money, said "no." After dinner, they had tea and vanilla slices. The 'I tall female prisoner (Miss Ridgeway) told the others that the cakes wero better t.ha.n they had at Barmouth. After going out she re- turned in quarter of an hour to ask for a pair of gloves she had left. She rewarded witness with threepence from a purse in which she saw several notes.—Cross-examined: Mrs. Ladd paid the' note at the counter and the others could not see Witness gave her 6s. change, She could not swear that she saw notes in the purse, but the papers she saw were like notes. She could not identify the note received from Mrs. Ladd, but she noticed that it looked different to other notes. P. G. Fel owes, proprietor of the Central Cafe, said Miss Ellis had charge of the till until he took over the receipts that night. Before handing it to the police next day he wrote his mark on the note which was the only one of that description in the till. P.S Davies gave evidence of having received the note from Mr. Fcllowes. The Chief Constable repeated the evidence | he gave last week, including statements made | to him by the prisoners.—Cross-examined He s:w Miss Ridgeway in a. sittfing room in Mr. Samuel Young's house. She offered no objec- tion to the search. On the next charge, Reuben David Jenkins, outfitter, 4, North-parade, said the threo i female prisoners came into his shop on October 31st at 5.55 p.m. Mrs. Ladd asked for men's shirts and he showed various kinds, including those made from a particular material. Miss Ridgeway said she could recommend those shirts as she had a blouse made of the material. They bought two shirts, the price including col ars being 12s. 6d. each. Mrs Ladd paid him £ 1 note and 5s. in silver in the presence of the two other women. It was the only note he had and he handed it next day to P.S. Davies.—Cross-examined: The transaction was with Mrs. Ladd. P.S. Thomas Davies gave evidence of having received the note when inquiring on Saturday morning with regard to forged notes. Tii e shirts were handed to him that day by Wil- liain David Ladd.. Ceinwen Powell, assistant with Mrs. M. Ll. McKenzie, fancy draper, 75, North-parade, said Miss Ridgeway came into the shop at six o'clock and, having been informed there was a lavatory, ca led the other two women in, eame again into the shop, and bought a woollen coatee, price 7s. 6d., a pair of knitting needles at sixpenoe each. and a knitting book for three- r-ance, total Ss. 9d., handing her a El note. It was the only note taken that day. Miss Ridge- way asked her to give the change to one of the other women and the change was given to Mrs Ladd. Muriel Anthony, Hwyrfryn, High-stroet, i assistant at T. Ellis and Co., drapers, Terrace- road, said she was in charge of the children'<! department. Between th,'eo and four o'clock 'or. October 3!st Miss Ridgeway purchased a pair of baby's wool boots, price 2s. 3d., and paid with a £1 nrof"" rceivipcr 17s. qil. change, in the, presence of the other two women. hy Prime, in the employ of Mr. Gilbert T.on^ley. The Riviera, Marine-terrace, said the three women came mto the ship between four and fire on October 31st. M'ss Ridgeway pur- chased a pound boy of chocolates for 5s., half a pound of chocolates for Ps. ro., a.nd a box of tofifoe for Is. 4d.. W^J fls. ini. "'e raid with a £1 note, having lis. 2d. change. After having the chocolates, Mrs. Ladd said it was her twenty-first birthday. (Laughter.) The Chief Constable said none of the pris- oners had children.—Mr. Griffith Jones did not think that statement was iN%?vant.—Mr. W. P. Owen said he had called evidence to prove course of conduct on the part of the three women, and the Chief Constable's state- ment showed that the object in buying the baby boots was to get 17s. 9d change. The next charge was against Mrs. Ladd and Miss Ridgeway. Enid Thomas, daughter of Mrs. Thomas, jeweller, Great Darrkgate-street, said the two women came into the shop between 5.30 and 5.45 p.m. on October 31st. Mrs. Ladd asked for a child's bracelet. Witness showed them two small silver bracelets. A man's voice called from outside and Mrs. Ladd left the shop. Miss Ridgeway paid a El note for the bracelets which were worth Is. 6d. each and witness gave 17s' change. She was doubtful about the note and kept it apart until the took it to Mr. Artli ir Jones next morning.—Cross- examined Mrs. Ladd handed the note to Miss Ridgeway before going out and did not return to the shop. Inspector D. Edwards said Mi. Arthur Jones handed him the note received from Miss Thomas, and the Chief Constab e said Inspector Edwards handed the note to him. The next charge was against the two male prisoners. Margaret Jane Lewis, assistant to Ur. Joseph Baird, draper, Great Darkgate-street, said the two came into the shop between three and four. They bought two ties at 3s. 9d- each and paid for them with a £ 1 note which smelt as if it had hair oil on. (Laughter.) She gave 12s. 6d. change Superintendent Phillips said that on Novem- ber 3rd, Air. Baird handed him the note. Mrs. S. J. Compton, greengrocer, Northgate- street, said Daniel Thomas Ladd bought a pound of pears at ninepence and gave her a £1 note. She asked if he had less and he said no, She gave him 19s. 3d. change. P.S. Thomas Davies said Mrs. Compton handed him the note. Annie Evans, Llanbadarn, assistant to Mr. Wilkinson, fruiterer, North-parade, said Wm. David Ladd bought a bunch of grapes at 5s. and paid a El note, having 15s. change. The other man was outside. Mr. W. P. Owen intima/ted that he was not prepared to proceed with the other charge, owing to Mr. Teviotdale's absence. Mr. Arthur Jones gave evidence in each case that the notes wero forged and identical —Mr. Blome-Jones asked if it was possible for the two young women to know that the nctes were forged when experienced trades- men were deceived.—Mr W. P. Owen: That is for the magistrates to decide.—Witness added that in a bad light the notes could be accepted by anyone. I In respect of each charge, Mr. Blome-Jones pleaded not guilty on behalf of the prisoners, reserved their defence, and called no evidence. He submitted there was not a shred of evid- ence against the girl Davies. Mr. Griffith Jones said that apart from the first case of possessing a forged note, the other charges were of uttering forged notes. In addi-, tion, if it was decided to commit, tihe Bench could prefer further charges of conspiracy to defraud and of having obtained goods by false pretences. After the Bench had considered in private, Mr. Peter Jones announced that &1 the pris- oners would be committed to the next Assizes on charges of having uttered forged notes and of conspiracy. Prisoners wore released on bail.

FOOTBALL.—On Saturday Machynlieth p'ayed their first Montgomeryshire League match on the home ground against Llanidloes. From the commencement the home team with- stood the onslaughts ol" the Tanners, until the forwards, led by R. O. Williams, made a dash on the Llanidloes defenco. R.O. raced between tho backs and scored. From a good pass from Harry Edwards, he repeated the operation a few minutes later. Close on half-tinie Llan- idloes were awarded a penalty kick, ir-m wh.ch they scored, Hughie Lum'ey, Machynlleth goal- keeper, making a briil.ant, effort to save. On resuming, Llanidloes made persistent efforts to draw level, and but for the defence of Mach- ynlleth. backs would undoubtedly have drawn level. Llanid?oes were awarded a penaJty and, though taken twice, Hughie Lumley made two saves, thus winning the game almost in the teeth of misfortune. Machynllcth forwards stirred themselves after this and had more of the game; but Jones, Uani back, proved a stumbling block. The final score was:—Mach- ynlletii, 2 goals; Llanidloes, 1 goal. There I was graal improvement in the play of the Machynlleth team as compared with their dis- play at Llanidloes the previous Saturday. E. Vaughan, D. E. Jones, and H.

Evans, general secretary Vi the Memorial Association, accompanied by Dr. R. Morris, addressed the Board on tho advisability of letting the Workhouse for on version into a sanatorium.—Mr. Richard GilIart wrote opposing leasing the promises and stating that tho ratepayers would not benefit by the conver-oi.-N-fr. Evans said if the Workhouse was rented to the Association the rent would go to the funds of the Union and would therefore assist the rates. The object of the Association in trying to acquire the Workhouse was to establish a hospital which would be convenient to the surrounding dis- tricts. The purchase of the Workhouse was at present out of the question as the Association I was not, certa-n what would happen in view of the Ministry of Health's scheme. It might be convenient for the Association to purchase ] wit1,n the first four years of the lease: bit in any case the decision of the Board of Guard- ians would have to be approved bv the Ministry of Health.

On the proposition of Captain Ellis, Jones, the Council resoVed to supply every member with a copy of the Housing "Act. A letter was read from the Ministry of Health asking for an explanation of the survey form in which the estimated need of the dis- tucti was put at eighty-nine houses, and the Council was providing for fiftv-cight only. The Surveyor explained that twhbtv-five houses were put down as the probable expansion of population. It was agreed to ask the Sur- veyor and Clerk to reply to the letter.-The Rev. Co hvyn Morgan remarked that fifty-eight houses were quit-e sufficient.-The Chairman: Yes; I am afraid they will be a burden on the ratepayers after the frst seven years.

,Pwllheli Council.
Pwllheli Council. ELECTION OF MAYOR. Pwllheli Town Council's statutory meeting was held on Monday, present, Mr. Hugh Prit- c-iiard, retiring mayor; Aldermen G. Cornelius Robots, O. Wynne Griffiths, W. Eifl Jones, Richard Jones, Councilors Dr. R. Jones Evans T. W. Thomas, W. M Toleman, R. A. Jones' E. Jones Griffiths, Lewis Jones, William Parry, T. J. Houghton Davies, T. J. Williams, J. O. Jones, E. Shelton Jones, W. Cradoc Davies (acting clerk); C. Lloyd Roberts ksurveyor), John Ellis (accountant). Mr. Hugh Pritchard extended a hearty wel- come to the newly-eibctecj councillors and proposed a vote of appreciation of the services of Mr. 0 Ellis Jones when member of the Council. Mr. E. Jones Griffiths proposed the appoint- ment of Mr. Richard Roberts, Hope House, as .1 mayor, and said the town was in great need of a thorough gentleman like Mr. Roberts to fill the mayoral chair. Mr. Roberts was not I only the most popular, but the most generous I man in the town, and his presence in the Coun- cil wou d do away with feelings of distrust. Referring to Mr. Roberts as an educationist, he said he had taken keen interest in educa- I tion and presided over the County School Governors. He hoped the Mayor would also take interest in the elementary schools as it was impossible to give an A.I. education in grade 3 schools. The present buildings were no better than dug outs. Dr. 0 Wynne Griffiths, seconding, said it was not the first time for the Council to ask Mr. Roberts to honour the town by accepting the chair. With important problems the Council wanted a man of Mr. Roberts's ex- perience to guide it. Alderman W. Eifl Jones, Mr. J. O. Jones, Dr. Shelton Jones, and Mir. R. A. Jones also spoke agreeing that it was an honour to serve under so good a commanding officer. Mr. Roberts was elected amidst cheers. Mr Hugh Pritchard. in investing the Mayor, said as he was articled to Mr. Roberts he had a better chance of knowing him than any I other member, and he felt that a great honou- was done to the town by electing him chief magistrate. Mr. Roberts acknowledged his election in a suitable and humorous speech, stating that it was the greatest honour the town could be- stow on him. He served as a member of the Council in 1876, but had to relinquish the office owing to pressure of other work. He came to Pwllheli as an office boy sixty years ago and it was that fact which prompted him to accept the mayoralty this year as it was his diamond jubilee at Pwllheli. (Applause.) The Mayor expressed pleasure at seeing Mr. Pritchard ex- mayor, present and looking so well. He also extended a hearty welcome to Alderman Eifl Jones. Ho also proposed a vote of thamks to the -etiring Mayor (Mr. Pritchard) who though urable to attend during the year, owing to indifferent health, had taken keen interest in its welfare. He a referred to the valuable service of Mrs. Pritchard, ex-mayoress, and Mr. G. Cornelius Roberts who performed the duties of deputy mavor with such loyalty The pronosition was seconded by Dr. R. Jones Evans and passed. A sub-committee was elected in connection with the Housing Scheme J. O. Jones, Dr. R. Jone, Evans, Lewis Jones, Dr. O. Wvnne Griffiths, T. W. Thomas, G. Cornelius Roberts, and W. M. Toleman. Other com- mittees were appointed

Several others were found tD I the oak wood and a capital run followed, the fcx eventually running the pack out of scent on Elgar Farm. Hounds were brought back to Oak Wood and marked to ground in Pwllcrwa and a fox was dug out and killed. Another occupant of the same earth was turned down and gave a capital hunt to Ffyno-n Caradoc, Cwm Woods, and nearly to Clarach, where he was headed.

At the monthly meeeting of Carnarvon Har- bour Trust, Mr. A. H. Richards (chairman of the Finance Committee) reported that for the quarter ended September there was an increase of twenty per cent in the shipment of slates from the port compared with the corresponding period of last year. That indicated that too anticipated revival in the slate trade had be- gun to show itself even in shipments. The actual state of the slate trade was even more favourable than the figures he had presented showed. The King, in an appeal to all his people, ex- pressed the wish that Tuesday, the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, be celebrated by the suspension of the nation's activities for two minutes, beginning at eleven o'clock. Dr. Addison, in reply to Major Edwards (Aberavon), said building is in progress on 213 houses in Wales and Monmouthshire unde^ the housing scheme. Work is in progress on sites for another 975 houses, but he was not awilre that there is actual house bui ding in these cases. Up to November 1st plans for 3,2$4 he uses had been approved for Wales. The offer for sale of Ruthin Caqtle, the homci of the late Colonel Cornwallis West and the CastJe estates, was continued a+ LIango len wbea farms wore purchased by tOpir occupiers, the total sum amounting to £ 76,470.

Hot Alkaline Bathst Stop Rheumatic…
Hot Alkaline Baths t Stop Rheumatic Pain i Within Ten Minutes. C. S. Turner, of the R.A.M.C., says: Enjoy the baths at your own home. Anv chemist can explain how to prepare them at slight cost. Why visits to expensive hot springs are not ner. It is a fact well known to the medical pro- fession that in severely painfu cases of rheu- matism, sciatica, lumbago, neuritis, backache, etc., a course of hot medicated baths at some good mineral spring can always be depended upon to .produce quick results. The trouble is that this usually means travelling long dis- tances from home, and the great expend ture cf time and money makes such treatment a luxury to be enjoyed oniy by the wealthy. Some sufferers think onlr tho wealthy caa obtam such benefits. This, in my opinion, Is an entirely mistaken idei. T know from per- sonal experience the good results produced by the baths at,various hct rlkaJine mineral springs, but after trying most of the werW famous resorts, both he-e and on the Continent, I found a method of trer.tm-t at home wjiefa proved even better and rerrtainly more prompt and lasting in its effects, 9t:.() far more con- venient.
