A Great NoveHst's Worry HIS BONNY CHILD STRICKEN WITH ECZEMA. I MARVELLOUS DELIVERANCE THROUGH ZAM-BUK. The beautiful three-year-old son of Mr. Campbell Rae-Brown, the well-known author of the famous Eissing-Cup's Race," has been cured in a fortnight by Zam-Buk of a most distressing attack of dry but unsightly eczema. Little Stuart Campbell Rae-Brown, because of his clear skin and regular features, is constantly being sought as a model both by painters and photo- graphers. This would all now be a thing of the past but for Zam-Buk's timely service in quelling the mysterious outbreak on the child's face. "I cannot express to you," writes Mr. Campbell Rae-Brown from his country home at Eden Villa, Dunoon, in the Western Highlands of Scotland, the. g'ltitude felt by both my wife and my- self for the almost astounding way in which your magical Zam-Buk cleared our darling only child's face of its terrible amiction. There was scarcely a pin's-point of his bonny fair-skinned face left un- touched by the disfiguring a.ttack. Per- fectly sound and well and strong in health as he was, and all unconscious of the sympathy bestowed upon him, imagine our feelings when, after trying many so- called cures in vain, we began to think our boy might be permanently disngured. "No sooner had we applied your great remedy, Zam-Buk, than hour by hour and day by day the unsightly blotches began to disappear, to fade—I can think of no better expression—gradually away, surely and completely, leaving behind not the very slightest trace of the aNection, the beautiful and softly-tender skin assuming again its own delicate texture and natural Mnom. "And when the glad day came when the cure had been wholly I ejected. wO could scarcely believe our eyes; our boy, whose beautiful face had been lost to us, had come back; a miracle had been per- formed. and by Zam-Buk." Surely, no higher testimony could be reauired to prove Zam-Buk's unique power over skin disease than this spon- taneous and unsolicited letter from such a popular author. Eczema is a daily family peril in this wintry season, and Mr. 'Rae-Brown's practical advice to all parents is to get Zam-Buk into, the home and so have it always handy for the nrst manifestation of skin trouble in young or old.

Drift Disaster at Ogmore Vale. Journey of Trams Runs Wild. Two Kitted, othefs Injured. A very serious accident happened at Messrs. Oory Bros. and Co/s new Pen- llwynwent Colliery on Wednesday morn- ing last, resulting in the death of two men, serious injury to a. third, .while others received minor injuries. The col- liery is a drift descending in varying gradients to the steam measures. The colliera on the night shift had finished their work and were making: their way to the surface, when on ascending the very steep "B" drift, they were encountered by a runaway journey of empty trams. These crashed into another empty journey lower down the drift, and as a result of the impact Matthew Wilson (40) was killed outright, Thomas Meyrick (oO) was injured so badly that he succumbed while being carried home. Richard Williams (28) wais seriously injured, while others received only slight injuries, but narrow escapes. Matthew Wilson was a native of Ogmore, and resided with his widowed mother at Fronwen Farm. Thomas Meyrick leaves a widow at Abertridwr. The inquest on the bodies was held on Thursday at the Church Mission Room, Mr. S. H. Stockwood (coroner) presiding.. A verdict of Accidental death was returned, the jury adding regret that the men were not adhering strictly to the colliery regulations re ascending the drift while the machinery was in motion. They also recommended the management to place an omcial at the bottom of the drift to see that the rule was carried out. The remains of Thomas Meyrick were conveyed on Friday to his home, where they were interred. Matthew Wilson was interred at Mangeinor Churchyard on Saturday, the funeral cortege being a lengthy one. We understand that the other injured man is making satisfactory progress.

Forth Chamber of Trade A meeting of the above Chamber was held at the W ashington Hotel on Wed-I nesday evening, when Mr. J. T. Jones presided over a representative attendance. Speaking on behalf of the deputation appointed to wait upon the Forth Trades and Labour Council re Incorporation, Mr. Jones said that the Council had con- sented to join with the Chamber in call- ing a public meeting. Apf'opos of the appeal to the Rhondda Urban District Council for improved lighting at Forth, the Secretary read the following letter from Mr. W. P. Nicholas. Clerk to the Council:— Dear Sir,—I have no doubt that the Council will grant a hearing at their next meeting, on Friday next, to a deputation represe.nting your Chamber with reference to the question of the lighting of Forth. Please, therefore, arrange a deputation to be in attend- ance here on that day. A deputation, consisting of the Chairman (Mr. J. T. Jones), Messrs. Wm. Evans (Thomas and Evans), W. P. Smith-Da vies and J. Thompson, were deputed to wait upon the Council and to iay the matter before them. The following letter was also read from Mr. Nicholas with regard to the Shop Hours Act and its operation at Forth: — Dear Sir,—I am duly in receipt of your letter of the 15th inst. The draft of the proposed Closing Order is ready, and is to be submitted to the Health Committee at the next meeting, after which the usual steps will be taken to publish the same. The draft order will contain a proviso dealing with the holiday period. Mr. W. S. Williams (Bon) introduced the following motion:—" That application be made to the postmaster to have (1) the telegraph instrument removed from the counter; (2) larger opening in the letter- box for newspapers, &c. (3) telephone call instruments installed at Cymmer, Aberrbondda. Nythbran and Britannia; (4) better facilities in the oSice; (5) a later despatch in the night, about 11 p.m." The need of removing the tele- graph instrument from the counter, Mr. Williams pointed out, was perfectly clear, as anyone who understood the sounder was able to possess himself of any mes- sage transmitted in his presence. In support of call offices in the districts mentioned, the Secretary said that his idea was that it would be so much better and also quicker to ring up the post omce in case of anyone wishing to send a tele- graphic message. His proposal for a later despatch would place Forth in the same position as Pontypridd and Tre- hafod. Mr. T. Davies seconded the motion., while Mr. John Davies, supporting it, said that he himself could understand the telegraph instrument, and thought that it should be removed from the counter. He also pointed out the necessity of a later despatch. Referring to the after- noon despatch, Mr. Davies said that a letter posted at Forth at 1.30 would not be delivered at Ynyshir until the follow- ing morning, and that, though they pos- sessed a head onice, they were really no better with it than they were 40 years ago. It was resolved to make an application by letter to the postmaster. Reverting to the question of a iern- torial Corps for Forth, the Secretary stated that he had ascertained that there were sumcient Territorials at Forth to establish a fine company there. Inasmuch as the Chamber had already expended money in this direction, he thought it unwise to allow the matter to fall through. After further consideration, the ques-, tion was relegated to the sub-committee previously appointed to deal with it.

Ogmore Vale, Pleasant .Saturday Evening.—The Eng- lish Congregational held another of tiM)u- Saturday evening meetings on the 12th inst., Mr. R. Dement presiding over a good gathering. An excellent series of competitions was gone through, with Mr. D. Lewis as adjudicator. Great interest was displayed throughout the competi- tions, and a, very enjoyable time was spent.
