Welsh Glee Singers.
Welsh Glee Singers. Another Concert at Bridgend. This body of male singers were again taken to Bridgend by County Councillor James Evans, Clydaeh Vale, on Thursday last, to give a concert to the inmates at Pare Gwyllt Asylum. As on past occa- sions, a vocal treat was anticipated by all, and nothing was left undone to make the visit a happy one to all concerned. After an excellent tea, the members of the party were taken on a tour of inspec- tion of the wards, and no one will ever forget what was. seen. The several wards were still resplendent with the Christmas decorations, and the beauty of these seemed incredible, considering that they were mostly the work of the unfortunate inmates. The concert, lasting over two hours, was one of the best yet given by the singers. The choruses sung by, the party were:—"Crossing the Plain," "The Martyrs," "Italian Salad," and "The Anvil," and solos were contributed by Messrs. Charles Robinson. Tom Charles, O. David, H. Rees (the conductor), and Morgan Jones. The two last-named also sang a well-appreciated duet, Love and War," while the quartet, Franklyn's Dogge," by Messrs. Rees, Robinson, Wil- liams, and Griffiths, was also very good. The one who considerably added to the success of the concert was Mr. D. Lloyd, Llwynypia, who contributed no fewer than eight comic songs, and still, like Oliver Twist, they asked for more." Many expressed the desire that he should stay there, but the invitation was declined with thanks. Mr. Alf. Williams accom- panied in an efficient manner. The con- cert over, the party was entertained to a dinner that was much enjoyed. The members were thanked by Dr. Findlay for their kindness in coming to give their services, and Councillor Evans was similarly dealt with for again defraying all the expenses.
Strength
Strength comes from Well-digested Food. The power to think well, work well, sleep well, and enjoy life depends mainly upon the ability of your digestive organs to extract strength and nourishment from food. When digestion fails, as in dyspepsia, and indigestion, the body is starved, no matter how much food is eaten. It is also poisoned, for food remaining in the stomach ferments, pro- ducing poisonous gases, which, being absorbed1 into the blood, shatter the nerves, dull the brain, create disease, and give rise to headaches, languor, loss of appetite, palpitation, flatulence, and other disorders of the blood and nerves. When the stomach, liver and kidneys fail to perform their functions perfectly, there is no remedy that will so soon restore them to health and vigour as Mother Seigel's Syrup. As a digestive tonic and stomachic remedy it has no equal. This is the testimony of thou- sands. Mrs. E. Wells, of Salhouse, near Nor- wich, writing on September 10th, 1908, says: In the early part of the year, after a, violent attack of Influenza, I found that my digestive powers, hitherto good, were quite upset, causing me great pain after eating. This was accompanied by windy pressure about my heart. Knowing the valuef of Mother Seigel's Syrup, I resorted to it at once with most beneficial effects. A few doses relieved me, and after a short course of it all traces of indigestion left me. In addi- tion, my general health distinctly im- proved." Mother Seigel's Syrup is also prepared in Tablet form as Mother Seigel's Syrup Tablets. Price 2 9.
Porth Free Church Council.
Porth Free Church Council. A meeting of the above Council took place at Bethlehem (C.M.) Vestry on Friday evening last, Mr. William Evans (Porth Farm) presiding over a small attendance. Letters were read from the National and South Wales Federations of Free Church Councils, requesting the local Councils to appoint representatives for the present year. The Rev. R. E. Salmon was elected to represent the Porth Council on the National Council; whilst the Revs. J. T. Davies and H. W. Thomas, in conjunction with the Rev. R. E. Salmon and Messrs. Robert Davies and H. Leyshon, were appointed reip,resentatives on the, South Wales Federation, The following resolution was also adopted —" That this Council strongly urges that in any measure, whether legis- lative or .administrative, which may be introduced dealing with education, it is desirable that the case of Wales and Monmouthshire be dealt with apart from that of England, and as a step towards the settlement of the education (question in Wales and Monmouthshire, it is desir- able that funds be made- available for the establishment of a Council School in every single-school area in the Principality."
Danger of Bronchial Coughs.
Danger of Bronchial Coughs. PEPS REACH THE ROOT OF THE TROUBLE. All bronchial troubles are serious because they lie so near the vital organs. Generally it is the common bronchial cold with its nasty cough and made-up feeling that, neglected for days, lays. one up at last with pleurisy or pneumonia. The introduction of the Peps treat- ment has rendered obsolete the ever, unsatisfactory method of trying to cure throat and lung troubles by means of liquid medicine. Not only do these old- fashioned' cough mixtures frequently con- tain dangerous drugs like opium, morphia, chloral, but, being liquid, they are merely swallowed into the stomach, and cannot, therefore, even touch the lungs where the trouble lies. Herein are the two distinguishing points about Peps: First, they do not contain any trace of opium, laudanum, or any other dangerous drugs occurring in old- fashioned cough medicines; second, they are a breathe-able remedy. That is, as a Peps tablet, removed from its preserving silver jacket, is made to dissolve on the tongue, certain valuable fumes are given off which, mixing with the air we breathe, are at once taken down the windpipe and passed straight into the innermost recesses of the lungs and chest. The soothing effect of these Peps balsams on the throat and bronchi is marvellous, and brings not merely strength to the chest, but by repairing the delicate membrane torn by constant coughing, fortifies the windpipe against cold-germs" and against further attacks of disease. Because of their absolute freedom from narcotics. Peps can be freely used by young and old; and because of their uniqueness, convenience and! unequalled efficacy, these wonderful breathe-able tablets should be kept always handy to ward off coughs, colds, bronchitis., soee throat, hoarseness, wheeziness, &c.

Mr. Samuel Davies,, G & L.…
Mr. Samuel Davies, G & L. Maesteg. Biographical Sketch. Mr. Samuel Davies, whose photograph appears below, first saw light in Maesteg (Hen Blwyf) in the year 1855, and re- ceived his schooling at the old Tywith Schools (then called the Brogden Schools). In his early days he did very little with music, but was an elocutionist of no mean skill, participating in most of the eisteddfodau and Sunday School anni- versaries, &c., which then were very popular. At the age of 10, he commenced work- Mr. SAMUEL DA VIESI, G. & L. ing as a miner, and at the age of 17 he began to study music; and when he was able to krun the scale in Tonic Sol-fa, he considered it an achievement to be proud of. Mr. Davies' initial training in the Tonic Sol-fa method was obtained through a Mr. T. Rees, who hailed from the Rhondda., and also from the late "Alaw Buallt," and passed in elementary and intermediate examinations under Mr. T. Williams (EveII Trevor), and matriculated under the tuition of the late Mr. M. 0. Jones, Treherbert. When under the tuition of the latter, Mr. Davies under- went severe hardships, having to go by train to Nantymoel, and walk from there to Cwmparc and Treherbert in the depth of winter. He quialified as A.C. in March, 1883, under the venerable Mr. W. T.
Misfortune to Mr. W. Henry…
Misfortune to Mr. W. Henry Mills, late of Llwynypia. The large number of Mr. Mills' friends in this district will readily sympathise with him in his trouble. Mr. Mills was for years a well-known figure in Llwyny- pia, having been bred and born on the spot. During several .successful seasons of the cup-tie Llwynypia Football Club, Mr. Mills was a, prominent forward, and was for two years captain. He left this.! district some few years ago and went into business at Bargoed as builder and con- tractor in posting. That he has the best opinion of the people at Bargoed is very plainly evidenced, for his misfortune in losing nine valuable horses in the short period of nine months has elicited a splendid expression of practical sympathy from the Bargoed people. A strong com- mittee has been formed, and subscriptions have been generously given in order to help Mr. Mills to recover himself. Some of his friends in this locality have formed a, local committee to collect the subscrip- tions in his native town. Mr. Mark Wilkins and Mr. Wattie Jones have the power to receive subscriptions, which they will be glad to receive and forward to Mr. D. M. Yorwerth, Bargoed, the treasurer of the central eommittoo. We hope that the rally of old friends will be hearty and substantial. Samuel, of Swansea, and graduated in August, 1886, and passed his Licentiate in 1891. He began teaching music at the age of 20, and as a result has coached successfully no fewer than two Licentiates, about 30 A.C.'s. besides hundreds in other certificates. Many of his pupils are at present teachers and conductors in dif- ferent parts of the Principality. In the year 1877, Mr. Davies married the eldest daughter of Mr. Henry Evans, a. deacon of Bethania Chapel, Maesteg. Mr. Davies is a very able composer, and amongst his compositions are Pob cnawd sydcl wellt," O'r dyfnder y llefaist Arnait," Crelliwen," Tawelu'r Storm," and Bronygarn." He has also produced a, cantata., known as Owymp a Chyfodiad Dyn," which is being performed on Feb. 17th next at Lib anus Chapel, Garth. Mr. Davies has been conductor at Bethania Chapel, Maesteg, for over 33 years, and teacher of Tonic Sol-fa. under the Glamorgan County Council for over ten years. As an appreciation of his valu- able services he has had two testimonials presented him by Bethania Church, one in 1892 of a purse of gold and an oil- painting of himself, the other in 1901, comprising a. beautiful watch, Albert and medal, valued at over £ 40, together with a silver-mounted walking stick and a purse of gold by other musical friends. Mr. Davies is well-known as a festival conductor, and also as an adjudicator. He lias not been in very good health for some time past, but we are glad to learn he is now progressing favourably.
"The White City" at Llwynypia
"The White City" at Llwynypia A limelight lantern lecture, descriptive of A Tour through the White City," was given at Jerusalem, Llwynypia, on Wed- nesday last to a crowded and appreciative audience. Many present who had visited the Exhibition, stated that these beautifully coloured pictures were marvellously real- istic. The Lantern Committee had for some time enquired for these slides, but the Exhibition authorities had strictly forbidden .any reproduction during its visit to London. The reader was Mr. E. Edwards (Eleanor Street), whilst Mr. W. Ivor Williams was the lanternist, assisted by Mr. Teddy Hughes.

Tonyrefail Chamber of Trade.
Tonyrefail Chamber of Trade. The annual meeting of the above Chamber was held at the Institute. Ton- yrefail, on Wednesday evening. The Secretary having read the corres- pondence, the balance sheet for the year was presented, which showed that the Chamber is in a, satisfactory financial posi- tion, although the re-formation of the Chamber took place only six months ago. The most important matter was the appointment of officers for 1909, the fol- lowing officers being re-elected for the ensuing year:—Messrs. E. J. Madge, chairman Levi Morgan vice-chairman Evan Jones, treasurer; and J. J. Bailey, secretary. The meeting expressed satis- faction with the work of the officers for ,1 trie past year. I" A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr. and Mrs. Thomas for the excellent way in which the arrangements for the banquet on New Year's Eve were carried out. The Secretary was instructed to again write the G.W.R. in reference to a bridge connecting the two platforms at Tonyr- efail Station, which is sadly needed. Mr. D. R. Morgan brought forward a motion to amend one of the rules of the Chamber so as to widen the scope for possible members to include many eligible gentlemen who have hitherto been ex- cluded. At their last two meetings, the Chamber have been discussing the formation of a Ratepayers' Association, but no definite steps have yet been taken in the matter.

Rhondda Naturalists.
Rhondda Naturalists. Conversazione at Ton. The eighth annual conversazione in con- nection with the above Society was held at the Workmen's Hall, Ton, on Thurs- day, the 14th inst. The number of guests and members present was close upon two hundred, and despite the inclemency of the weather, the gathering was perhaps the most successful held for many years. The hall was nicely decorated for the occasion and presented a very gay appear- ance. Two rooms were set apart for cards. Shortly after eight o'clock, the president of the Society for the ensuing year, Mr. Horace Thompson, M.E., delivered his address, and in the course of his speech alluded to the progress and increasing popularity of the Society. Dancing, of course, was the order of the evening a.iid from 9 p.m. until the small hours of the morning the majority of those present, at intervals, tripped the light fantastic toe. The duties of M.C.'s devolved upon Messrs. W. F. Dyke, E. Treharne, and Dr. Forsdyke. Solos sung by Miss Col well, of Abergwynfi, a sweet singer, and Mr. Tom Davies, Mardy, were highly appreciated. The feature'of the evening, however, was the performance of Ap Tydfil's String Quartet, and music- lovers of the Rhondda have rarely had the opportunity of listening to such beautiful rendition of classical music. It was not a mere playing of notes, but an earnest endeavour, and a successful one, to represent music as an expression of genius and its soul. Mr. Ivor Jones' selection on the 'cello deserves special mention. He shows a thorough know- ledge of the technique of his instrument, and has a remarkable command of the finger-board. Ap Tydfil delighted the audience with Sarasate's Zigenuvewisen." a difficult work calling forth all the skill and ability of an expert. But Ap Tydfil did ample justice to the selection, and his brilliant execution, his mastery of the technique of his instrument, and his intonation marked him as a born artiste. Mr. Peroie G. Smith accompanied through- out in his usual satisfactory manner. An excellent repast, catered by Messrs. Georges, Cardiff, was done full justice to. Hearty congratulations are due to the enterprising and popular secretary of the Society, Mr. H. Harris, Church Villa, for his usual thoroughness and fore- thought in the hard work which a function of this kind entails, and which went a long way in making the evening's pro- gramme a grand success.
30 Years' Liver Disorder.
30 Years' Liver Disorder. NEURALGIA, BILIOUSNESS, & NASTY TASTE. LADY GRATEFUL TO OHAS. FORDE'S BILE BEANS. For thirty years Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Wortliington, of Sefton Villa, Little Hay- wood, Stafford, was made miserable by a disordered liver. "I was reduced to a state of great weakness by my continued illnesses," she told a Stafford pressman. "I suffered almost continuously, having very few periods of ease. My life was often a real misery, and at times I was so irritable and depressed that I felt I could quarrel with my own shadow. It was exceedingly difficult for me to do my work, for I was frequently so ill that I could hardly crawl about the house. There was a, nasty taste in my mouth, and I was oppressed by attacks of languor and flatulence. Dreadful bilious attacks used to come on about every month, and I had severe cutting pains of neuralgia, in the head. I also suffered terribly from spells of dizziness, and saw specks were floating in front of my eyes. Constipation was another very trying symptom of my complaint, and I .also suffered from pains between the shoulders. During the long years I suffered I was continually trying medicines, all of which either made me feel worse or took no effect at all. I cannot say that I derived benefit from any of the many prepara- tions I took, and natuirally I lotst hope and came to regard myself as incurable. But about twelve months ago I was persuaded to try Chas. FORDE'S Bile Beans, and a. wonderful improvement was soon brought about in my general health. I felt better in every way, and as I con- tinued to take Chas. FORDED S Bile Beans I found I could do my wiirk again, and my appetite and strength returned. « Gihasl. Forde's Bile Beans removed every symptom of my complaint, and I now feel healthier, stronger, and more energetic than I have done for a very long time. Chas. For de's famous medicine has worked a great change in me, and I am grateful for my splendid cure."
