Nodion. Yn Eglwys Sant Elvan, Aberdar, nos Fere her, Mehefin 21, cynhaliwyd gwas- anaeth coffa am y diweddar Lieut. J. Windsor Lewis, y gwr ieuanc o Aberdar a roddes ei fywyd i Jawr ar allor rhydd- id ei wlad yn Ffrainc. Trefnwyd y cyf- arfod dan nawdd Ficer y Plwyf a Mr. Charles Kenshole, Uwch Gwnstabi Mis- cyn Uwchaf. Arweiniwyd y gwasan- aeth gan y Ficer, yr hwn a roddodd allan yr hen emyn Cymraeg, 0 fryn- iau Caersalem," ac a ganwyd dan wasg- fa prudd-der gan y gynulleidfa fawr. Gyda Haw, yr oedd y diweddar swyddog dewr yn gefnder i Mrs. Lewis, priod y Ficer. Cydymdeimlir yn fawr a theulu galarus y boneddwr ieuanc o'r Plas- draw, yn cynnwys ei fam hoff. Eydded iddi yn nydd ei phrawf ymddiddanu a'r cysur a dynai mam gwron Gogerddan iddi ei hun ar achlysur cyffelyb, sef mai Gwell yw marw'n fachgen dewr Na byw yn fachgen llwfr." I Yn y gwasanaeth crybwylledig caed anerchiad teimladwy gan Esgob Llan- elwy, ewythr y diweddar wron—brawd ei fam. Ac os dy "gydwybod" a'th rwystra, tor hi. allan, a thafl hi oddiwrthyt; canys gwell i ti golli dy "gydwybod" (y fath ag yw) ac na thafier dy wlad enedigol i uffern (yr Hwniaid). Dy- wedai D. Lloyd George rywbeth go debyg yn ei araith yn Nghonwy. Ebe efe, "If we fail now, as surely as the Saviour lives, we shall go to hell.—"Y Drych." Nid da clywed dyn ei hun yn honni nad yw efe fel dynion eraill. Y mae'n wahanol pan y mae ereill yn dweyd hynny am rywun, &c felly ygwneir yn y Llwydcoed y dyddiau hyn ynglyn a'r. diweddar Lieut. Windsor Lewis, a ladd- wyd yn ddiweddar yn y rhyfel. Mae calonnau ei gymdogion yn friw. Yr oedd ei garedigrwydd a'i haelioni i'r tlawd yn ddihareb.

Y dydd o'r blaen yr oedd y Prifathraw T. Rees, o Goleg Bala-Bangor, yn pregeflhu yn Bethany, Godreaman. Ar astell yr areithfa yr oedd dwy gostrel o flodau prydferth. ond gofynodd y pregethwr i un o'r diaconiaicT am eu svmud. nid am fod ganddo wrthwynebiad i flodau ond am #u bod ar ei ffordd i siglo ei freichiau ar ol myned i hwyl. Efallai nas gwyr pawb o'n darllenwyr fod y diweddar Barch. Thomas Levi nid yn unig yn meddu enw Iuddewig ond hefyd yn luddew o waed. Hebrewr o'r Hebreaid oedd ei dad, yr hwn a briod- odd Gymraes.

Itching, Burning Eczema was…
Itching, Burning Eczema was Cured in Ten Days. Chemist Tells of Wonderful Results I from the Oxygenated Water of Baths containing Common Saltrates. For nearly ten years I was afflicted with a complication of bad skin dis- eases, which caused untold anguish and often rendered sleep at night utterly impossible. I had symptoms of eczema, acne, urticaria, and even psoriasis, my body and face being literally a mass of sores and rashes. 1 also sufiered from rheumatism, and one day while resting my right leg in an ordinary hot saltrat- ed water bath to reduce uric acid swell- ing, pain and stiffness, I was surprised to notice that the skin disease had lost its red, inflamed appearance and most of the soreness had disappeared. To make a long story short, J immediately bathed my entire body in the saitrated water and that night enjoyed my first sound sleep in months. After continu- ing for ten days, my skin became beau- tifully clear and healthy, and, better still, the disorders have not returned Any chemist can supply at slight cost a few ounces of the common refined Reudel Bath Saltrates, and about two tablespoonfuls are enough to transform the water of a bath. Dis- solve a teaspoonful in a hand-basm for washing the face, and cloth compresses I wet with the sltrated water are use- ful for quic-kiy drawing any pain from affected parts. I always recommend this treatment for any skin affections, I and when prepared very strong, even for corns, tired, tender, aching feet, and all foot troubles. It never fails, and from analysis I know that, among other strong healing and antiseptic qualities, it releases a very large amount of free oxygen in the water, which accounts for much of its remark- able curative power since oxygen is Nature's own purifier, bactericide and skinclearing tonic. The saltrates com- pound will form a British reproduction of practically the exact medicinal and highly oxygenated waters which have given a world-wide reputation to the natural curative baths at Aix-le-Bains, Eilsen, Aix-le-Chapelle and other famous springs. These wonderful waters all act by releasing oxygen.- J.L.C. NOTE.—There has as yet been no rise I in the price of this compound, but as in the case of all drugs during the war, a sharp advance is to be expected at any time.

I The Glory that was Egypt.I
I The Glory that was Egypt. I 1 No. 3057 Sergeant D. J. Williams, 1-5 t Batt. Welsh Regiment, Cairo, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Williams, John Street, Aberdare, has sent us a letter, from which we give the following ex- tracts — "There was nothing doing from day to day at Luxor, and were it not for the company in the Sergeant's Mess the depot would have been very dull. The main thing that gave Luxor its glory was the proximity to the monuments of ancient Egypt. First there comes the Karnak Temples, which I visited on several occasions. These are situated from three to four miles outside the modern Luxor. They cover a vast piece of ground, and contain temples built under different dynasties. I will attempt to give a brief description of a tour. The first thing that catches the eye is the avenue of sphinxes. These are now in a bad condition, but clearly show that, when built, were both massive and imposing. Then comes the first great pylon, built about 4,000 B.C., and is in good condition. Looking to the right one sees a very impressive sight-huge stone pillars, conveying to the mind chaos and ruin. We pass along around this mass of ruins, and come to the main en- trance to the first temple. Here again is an avenue of sphinxes, but not, ram- headed like the others. Each has a lion's body and a human head, and without exception are in good condition, Passing along this avenue (which is said to have led across to the temple at Thebes) we came to the main pylon, built by Totmes the First, 4,000 B.C. This pylon is very large and imposing, and is still intact. From the top a very extensive view may be obtained. Passing on we come to another great pylon, but this is mostly in ruins. In front and on either side we have two great statues of Rameses I., cut out of a single piece of granite, a marvellous piece of* workmanship. Each is over 30 feet high. Running on either side between these two pylons are a number of pillar foundations, and one or two pillars intact, being of great height and size.The top of the pillars took (as shown by the one standing complete) the form of the Papyrus. On one side of this first temple there is the inner temple and the holy of holies. On either side of the inner temple, and running the whole length, are statues of the God of Justice, containing the head of Rameses I. The holy of holies is roofed, and is entered only by the chief priest and the king. In it is the sacred boat, and on either side on the walls are carvings depicting the various ceremonies, etc., carried out in connection with this sacred boat. We pass through the second pylon, and enter the Temple cf Amen or the Temple of Pillars. It con- tains 136 pillars, each of gigantic size. The walls running around this temple are covered with fine engravings, show- j1^ different ceremonies, also different legends and creeds."
Faith and the War.|
Faith and the War. The above was the title of an able dis- course given at the Empire, Aberdare, on Sunday afternoon under Christa- delphian auspices by Professor T. Turner, of Birmingham. Professor Turner, at the outset, said that when asked recently how his faith was affected by the war a certain person had remarked that "he felt like a man in a boat with the bottom knocked out of it." That was how many people felt as the result of this war, but it was not the feeling shared by the speak- er. Rather had his faith been increased than shaken as the result of the war. Professor Turner appealed to his hear- ers to respond to the Gospel call now, so that in the Day of Christ's Glory and Kingdom they may participate in the great reward. At the Cwmbach Public Hall in the evening Professor Turner, to another large attendance, dealt with the "Origin, Nature, and Destiny of Man." He quoted Scripture to show that man was of dust formation, and that apart from the hope of life in Christ, was j doomed to cessation of existence. The death state was described in the Bible as one of unconsciousness, a description which the speaker contrasted with the popular view concerning what was called the natural immortality of man. It was noteworthy on this point that those who were raised from the dead by Christ during His mission are not re- ported in the Gospel writings to have made any allusion to their experiences in the death state. The reason why was because in death they knew nothing. Mr. J. Pugh presided.

I Trecynon and Llwydcoedi…
Trecynon and Llwydcoed Notes. BY MARCELLO. Mary is jubilant. Her boy who is in the Army has been made a sergeant. She wants to know whether this dis- tinction will entitle her to the rank of "Lady" when Sergeant takes unto himself a wife. She is going to write to the Minister of Munitions about it. A Trecynon young lady is in a dilemma. Her best boy is "somewhere east of Suez," and cannot get home leave for August. She wants to know whether it would be etiquette for her to go on a platonic holiday in the Isle of Man with her best boy's best friend. Marcello advises her to be careful, that such dualisms used to lead to duels in the good old days, although courting by proxy is considered quite proper in the Manx Isle. She is going to write to "John Bull" about it. Your native hamlet is quite proud of you, sir, but why advertise your achieve- ments in the papers? Good wine needs no bush. Besides, the Bible, the book you swear by, tells you not to sound a trumpet before you. That new dress of yours, is lovely, but it would have looked better on someone else. No reflection on the dressmaker, though. Mrs. J- is still determined to go and do some war work. She practises on the neighbours during the day and on her husband in the evening. The victims are getting quite sick of these rehearsals. Johnny Stout has been organising a raffle for a bottle of rum. He is a bit frightened now because he has been told that it would come under the Defence of the Realm Act. He is going to look up "Every Man's own Lawyer," a book which he won in a duck and drake raffle in times of peaec. The Cynonside man who plays on the unmusical instrument with a broken deed is going to the Wells for a rest. How the Cynonsiders will enjoy the rest! But I pity the Irvonside people if he takes his instrument of torture with him. Charlie Chaplin's imitator realised the ambition of his life last week. Three times in one day he was mistaken for the great cinema artist that he apes. There is a good bit of the anthropoid ape about some of us. Although Mill Street has been widened considerably it was too narrow for Bibber the other evening. Liquor Control indeed!
Cwmdare Notes.
Cwmdare Notes. BY RAFFLES. I have heard of musical Wales, but last Sunday it was musical squalls. Now, Tommy, tell your sweetheart not to sing so late at night. If she could sing it would be bearable. Vide telegram from town. Well done, Charlie, wish you well on the spare time insurance job. Call on Raffles' Corps. You'll sure to get some names-if nothing else. Sorry you had to push the bike over a mile in the mud; the young lady found it awkward. Never mind, you reached the top of the hill, and then all was well. Mary Elizabeth Ann is engaged to sing at the Pwll y Gwynt Eisteddfod. Her accompanist will be Prof. Nun- skull. I wish them both success. Gaffer Nos, Bumper and the Vice- chairman are going in for gardening. It will do them good. Bending the back will be a change from bending the arm. I hope Bagpipes and Miss —— en- joyed themselves the other evening on the patches. The man in the moon was smiling. So was Raffles.
Glamorgan Police.\ --I
Glamorgan Police. War Bonus Increase Question. A special meeting or the Glamorgan Standing Joint Committee, called by the chairman (Mr. O. H. Jones), was held at the County Hali, Cardiff, on Friday, to reconsider the question of increasing the war bonus to the police. It will be recalled that at the meeting of the committee on June 5th it was decided by a majority of one to increase the police war bonus from 10 to 15 per cent. In a statement prepared by Mr. A. AV. Fox, the county accountant, it was shown that the cost to the police rate of increasing the war bones from 10 per cent, to 15 per cent, would be £ 2,335, and would bring the total war bonus to 1,065 per annum, nearly equal to a £ d. rate. The Chairman thought the matter required much more deliberate con- sideration than it had received. To grant a war bonus of 15 per 'cent. to the superintendents meant increasing their salaries by 15s. a week. He thought the committee were not justi- fied in granting them more than 10 per cent. With regard to the other ranks, he was prepared, if the committee re- scinded its previous resolution to move that they be granted an extra war bonus of 2} per cent., bringing up the total war bonus to 121- per cent. He moved that the resolution passed at the last meeting be rescinded. Mr. Godfrey Clark seconded. Dr. I. LI. Morris, Abercvnon, in moving a direct negative, protested against the chairman's statement that the matter had been sprung upon the committee. The chief constable raised the question in a supplemental report, as he was entitled to do, and the com- mittee passed a resolution after a full discussion. He could not help con- trasting the action taken with regard to this matter and another matter which came up at the last meeting. The committee voted £ 10,000 in payment of the claim of the Cambrian Combine al- most with acclamation, certainly with congratulations from the chair, but a protest was raised when it was proposed to grant £2,000 to enable men in the police force to be in a position to live. The outstanding feature of the report presented by Air. Fox was the lament- able salary of £ 260 paid to the deputy chief constable, while the chief con- stable was in receipt of £ 900 a year. Councillor William Thomas, Aber- dare, seconding, said the chairman com- plained that there were only 17 mem- bers present at the last meeting. De- spite the fact that they had all the chairman's letter, there were no more present that day, and that proved to him that the committee, as a whole, were satisfied with what had been done. The police force had been depleted by about 250 men, and those who were left were carrying on the extra duties im- posed upon them in the most loyal and efficient manner. They had extra duties to perform in connection with the Alien Registration Act, the Liquor Control Board Order, and the Defence of the Realm Act. Air. Fox had stated that the extra bonus of 5 per cent. would mean £ 2,000, and the 10 per cent. already paid meant L;5,000, mak- ing E7,000, but even after payment of this sum of t7,000, the County rate would not be increased because the Force had been depleted through about 240 men having joined the Colours. The County would thereby be over £ 500 to the good. The chairman forgot the sacrifice the police were making. They were entitled to one day's rest in seven, but they were only taking one in 14, and they were also foregoing their annual holiday. He knew of boys working in the collieries at Aberdare who were earning more money than the members of the police force, and for the sake of efficiency and to prevent any depletion of the force this extra bonu should I given. On Being put to the meeting seven voted for the chairman's resolution °nd ten against, and it was declared lost. The Chairman moved that the whole question of the wages of the Force should be considered at a special meet- ing. Councillor W. Thomas seconded, but he did so on the clear understanding that the War Bonus was to stand. This was carried.
Trinity, Aberdare.
Trinity, Aberdare. The Sunday School Anniversary was held at Trinity English C.M. Church on Sunday. In the morning the Rev. J. D. Evans, M.A., Pontypridd. preached, and Air. Gilbert Jones sang "The Lost Chord." In the afternoon the cantata, "The Great Teacher," was performed by the Sunday School Choir, conducted by Mr. Cledwyn Jones. Mr. J. Arkite Phillips was the organist. Miss F. Nicholas, Mr. T. D. Davies (superin- tendent), Air. Harold Kenney, and the following children took part as readers: —Jack Retford, Sarah Lewis, Bob Jones, Charlie Gratton, Ethel Sclwyn, Llew- elyn Davies, Ernie Wells, Reggie Lewis, Stephen Jones, Edith Lewis, Nellie Retford, Alervyn Francis, Gladye Jones, Nellie Grilton, Beatrice Green, and May Wells. The Rev. J. D. Evans opened the service.—In the evening a solo, "Queen of Angels," was sung by Mrs. W. U. Lewis. The Rev. J. D. Evans preached from Genesis 47. 22, on the words, Do not sin against the child." He dwelt on the enormity of the sin. It was a heinous crime because it was a sin against the helpless, a sin without any extenuated attached to it, and a sin with far- reaching issues. The preacher declared that it was false economy to cut down the expenditure on the child's educa- tion in war time, like we did in this country. Prussia with' all her sins- and they were many—was not guilty of this sin. She was spending more money on the education of the young than in pre-war times. We should not think light of conscience in these days. Did not Britain enter this war in obed- ience to the dictate of conscience? Let us not sin against the child. We never knew what the children were going to be. We could sin against the child by lowering the ideals of life and by setting a bad example. What troubled parents in Wales was not the cinema, but the inability to hold the children at home. What was wrong with the home? Finally we should not sin against the child by withdrawing sympathy. t
'I Licensing.
I Licensing. At a meeting of the Glamorgan Licensing Authority on Monday the licenses of the White Hart Inn and the Victoria Inn, Aberdare, were referred for compensation. In the case of the White Hart the amount of compensation claimed was £2.250. and the Licensing Authorities offered the sum of £ 2,000. Air. William Thomas, Solicitor, acting for the re- versioner, the leaseholders, and the licensee, accepted this amount. In the case of the Victoria Inn the amount of compensation asked for was ^1,300, and the amount offered by the Licensing Authority was < £ 1,100. Mr. G. T. Davies, Solicitor, acting for the reversioner and the licensee, and Mr. ti. i Thomas, Solicitor, acting for the leaseholder, accepted this amount.
