Pentre. On Tuesday evening, the supporters of the candidature of Mabon held a meet- ing at the Pentre Girls' School. There was a good attendance, and vigorous and enthusiastic support of the veteran mem- ber is assured. Councillor Walter Wil- liams is chief organiser in the Pentre Ward. It is to be hoped that apathy and indifference will be banished, so that a substantial majority may again be secured. A further instance of generosity has just been made public. One-third of the proceeds at the Tivoli on Thursday ^4 Friday will be handed over to the Gelli Committee, along with one-half of next week's takings.

Two exceedingly- fine performances of the' ^ell-known operetta, 11 Cinderella and the 'Prince," were given at the Mardy Workmen's Institute on Thursday and Saturday by the English Baptist Juvenile Choir, under the capable conductorship of Mr. Thomas Thomas, Mardy. The singing and dancing of the children showed clearly that considerable time ant; patience must have been expended by those responsible for the high state of perfection attained. The part of Cinder- ella" was taken by Miss Polly Thomas, who sang very sweetly. Mrs. Clayton Jones was the "Fairy Queen," and her fine voice and clear enunciation weiv much appreciated. Messrs., Emrys Davie-, I and T. D. Lewis were the Prince ami Baron. and both acquitted themselves well; while Mr. G. Lewis (Schools) pre- sided at the piano. The stage manage- ment this year again devolved upon Air. Gomer Evans (Messrs. Locket's cashier). so that this department was exception- ally well looked after. Mr. T. E. Rich- I ards, M.E. was chairman on Thursday, and Mr. H. E. Maltby, M.E., presided on Saturday. We regret to announce the death of '7 Mr. George Thomas, 33, North Terrace. Mardy.

Is the Liberal Government j "Extravagant?" j The Tories say it is, but what Q/e the facts? In the, last Tory year the amount raised by taxation was £ 129,776,290'. In the present year (1910-11) it is estimated that the total will be £ 142,455,000. Here Ave have an increase in taxation of £ 12,678,710 since the Liberals came in in 1906 Rut ,before we can say that the increased total in taxation is a proof of extravagance," we must see how th V money is actually being spent.

Unquestioned in Tonypandy. The word of a neighbour stands for truth, and for this reason the following frank, outspoken statement of a Blaen- clydach woman cannot be questioned. Mrs. R. H. Thompson resides at 44, Jones Street, Blaenclydach, Tonypandy. She says: Although I used various medicines for constipation, they did not I suit me, for they were so purgative. I For a long time I had been subject to constipation, and for days together I there would be no movement. After a' meal I always had a dull, heavy sensation. Reading of Doan's Dinner Pills, I purchased a box, and soon found I had the right medicine at last, for a few of the pills relieved the constipation. When- ever I feel any sign of the trouble, I take a, pill or two, and am soon all right. I am pleased to speak for Doan's Dinner Pills, as they have suited me splendidly. (Signed) Rose H. Thompson." Doan's Dinner Pills are the best medi- cine for constipation, indigestion, bilious- ness, for headache, dizziness, distress after eating, poor appetite, yellow eyes, and for every liver, stomach and bowel trouble. The pills may be had from all chemists and stores, price 1/11 per box, 6 boxes for 6/ or post free from the Fost-er-McClellan Co.. 8, Wells Street, Oxford Street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mrs. Thompson had. 4905c

Chapel Fire at Pentre. Boy's Narrow Escape. Piteous Cries for Help. A fire broke out in the old Siloh Chapel. Pentre, last week, nearly result- ing in the death of a young lad named David Prosser, the son of the caretaker. The upper portion of the building, which has been converted into class- rooms. has been temporarily engaged by the Rhondda Education Committee for the accommodation of a class of children from the Pentre" Girls' School. It appears that the lad had entered the buildinc for the purpose of lighting a fire. Near the fireplace were two bags of shavings, and it is su: mised that, having lit the fire, Prosser inadvertently threw the match, which came into con- tact with the shavings. The latter imme- diately flamed up, and the boy was soon overpowered by the smoke. Hearing his piteous cries a number of people immediately rushed to his rescue, and smashed the windows so. that the smoke could escape. Others assisted with buckets of water in putting out the fire. An alarm was given to the police, who I immediately acquainted the Fire Brigade of the outbreak. The fire was, however, well got under before the latter arrived. Prosser was conveyed home in an uncon- ¡ scious condition, but. recovered some time later. The damage is estimated at f about E7. b
