Losing in Weight. 11 A TELL-TALE SIGN OF DISEASE 1 How Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I built up a sick man's system. I Mr. Lambert, and the pills that cured him. Loss of weight, either in man or woman, is a tell-tale sign of the progress of disease. Often the nerves are weak and the blood too poor to supply nourishment, no that I the whole system languishes; then other ills quickly de- velop, as in the oase of Mr. Fred Lambert, quoted below. But what he adds proves that the building up of a debilitated sys- tem, weak digestion, starved nerves, and impure blood is readily accomplished by Dr. Williams' 4 Pink Pillq. Mr. Lambert, a master plumber, of 9, Albert Road, Aston, Birmingham, shted "When my illness began, about two years ago, one of the first signs of something being wrong with me was a rapid loss of weight and colour. Then dizziness attacked me, which I regarded as a sign of liver trouble, but aperi- ents made matters worse. Time after time my nerves failed me. Soon I had no appetite, a mouthful or two of food satisfying me for any meal. I took tonics but my nerves got worse; some impending danger seemed to hang over me. I could not remain steady for a minute. Even sleep was out of the question; for after dozing for a time, nightmares disturbed me and I would then remain wakeful until day- break. I went for a month's holiday, and a specialist prescribed for me however, my weight continued to fall, and I returned home with little prospect of being better. But one day a report of a cure of Nervous Debility by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills led me to try this remedy. After I had taken the con- tents of two boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was less upset over trifles. So I persevered, and soon had more control over my nerves. As I got stronger the fits of dizziness left me my appetite picked up, food nourished me and I gained weight. My nerves were perfectly braced and steadied I had a better colour, and could sleep well at nights. My head be- came clear, and I was able to attend to my business again. I have since been as robust as J could wish to be." Improved appetite and a steady increase to normal weight are the signs of returning health that follow the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills make New, Good Blood and give tone to the Nerves. Thus they have cured repeatedly Anaemia, Indigestion, Nervous Disorders, Neuralgia, Eczema, and Rheumatism also the ills that afflict women. 2s. 9d. a box, or 13s. 9d. for six, post free, from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., 46, Holbora Viaduct, London.

a Llannefydd Chain Eisteddfod. Favoured with fine weather another very successful Eisteddfod was held in this pretty little place on Monday. A epaoious marquee had been erected on a field kindly lent by Mrs Williams, Hawk and Buckle, Llannefydd, and the event attracted a large crowd of people from all parts of the district. The attendance at the morning meeting was in excess of last year, and the marquee at the three meetings was well fllled. There was a very large number of entries, and the greatest interest continued through- out the day in the various competitions. The presidents for the day were Sir J Herbert Roberts, Bart., M.P., the Hon Laurence A Brodriok, and the vicar (the Rev S Bangor Jones). The Vicar presided at the morning meeting, and Sir Herbert Roberts (who was accompanied by Lady Roberts and their twin sons) presided at the afternoon meeting, but the Hon L A Brodrick was unable to attend, but sent a, telegram wishing the Eisteddfod every success. The chairman of the general committee, which has worked exceedingly hard to ensure the success of the Eisteddfod, was Mr Thomas Salusbnry. The Rev S B Jones was the chairman of the musical committee, and the veteran Caerenydd (rvlr Isaac Ellis) was the ohairman of the literary committee. Mr Peter Roberts efficiently carried out the duties of treasurer. The secretaries, who have laboured well to secure the success of the Eisteddfod, were Messrs William Long, Schools, And Edward Williams, Croosffordd Marli. St Asaph.

"Dewi Mai o Feirion was the pennillion singer, and his topical pennillion, in whioh he introduced several local matters, caused much amusement. He was accompanied on the harp by the blind harpist, Telynor Dall o Feirion," whose playing of the instrument was very clever. Mr T Vaughan Williams, Llansannan, was the accompanist, and rendered his part in a very praiseworthy manner. He received able assistance from Miss Minnie Rattan. ID.,nl),iyb.

The Chairman, in his address, dwelt upon the chief objects of meetings of this nature. Firstly to give a chance to improve the mind. For this end the Committee had worked to get suitable subjeots upon which to compete. He give the competitors advioe to lose honourably as well as to win in events of this nature. The Ehteddfod had in the past, and, indeed, was at the present time, the means of rising many a poor but talented boy to fame. Another thing which the Eisteddfod did was to keep alive the Welsh language in many parts of the world. These small eisteddfodau, he believed, improved on the National Eis- teddfod in this respect, as the National was largely carried on in the English language. Another important factor in the Eisteddfod was to lift up and keep alive the character of the Welsh people. In conclusion he wished success to meetings which had such an uplifting effect on the nation. Caerenydd expressed his thanks to the Rector for his address. Dewi Mai then delighted the audience with his pennillion singing, in which he brought in several local topics, and was encored.

The oonipetive piece was "Ar lan Iorddonen ddoUu" Before the meeting was brought to a clole Mr T Salusbary proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the Vicar for presiding, end for the interest he had taken in the Eisteddfod. Caerenydd briefly seconded, and the vote of thanks was heartily passed. AFTERNOON MEETING. Sir Herbert Roberta, M.P., who was accompanied by Lady Roberts, was accor- ded a hearty reception on taking the chair in the afternoon meeting.

Pennillion singing by Dewi Mai again delighted the audience. The Chairman then addressed the meet- ing. In his opening remarks he referred to the shadow which overhung the country. The death of King Edward VII 1ia a national loss, and were it not for the gracious wish of King George that the holidays should not be affected, no doubt, many meetings of this character would bo abandoned. He then went on to deal with the educational aspect of the Eisteddfod, which he described as a school for the Welsh nation to learn the lessons of song and art. He expressed pleasure at being present, and congratulated the oommittee on their success.

Archdaacon Lloyd's Visitation. On Friday Archdeacon Lloyd held his first annual visiution in the Cathedral of the Diocese, and, after a reference to the death of the King, dwelt upon the decease of Archdeacon Evans (who he succeeded). He ssid that the deceased Archdeacon was an euthusiastic Welshman, and was held in high respect by all who were devoted to tho Welsh Church. Ho was pleased to see so many of the laity present at the visitation, as year by year there was more leaning on the laity in connection with church work. Tima was when the clergy had to do practically the whole of the work, and the burden was on their shoulders, but it was a joy to think it was no longer so. The laity were coming for- ward, and realised their responsibilities, and took their rightful share in every de- partment of the church's activity. They heard a great deal about the rights of churchwardens, and he hoped that as soon as churchwardens were appointed they would not thiuk so much ot their rights as oi the opportunities which their offica afforded them. The churchwardens had charge of the church property, and while there had been a change in tha form of their duties, which no longer included the seeing that the parishioners attended services, he hoped that the churchwardens would, by their example, render good service to the church. The defenca of the Church was an important matter to-day, and the churchwardens should gather around them a band who were prepared to resist any attempt at spoliation. At this eritical period of the count; y church- wardens should seek to serve the best in- terests of the nation and of the church. Col Mesham, speakiug oa b.jhalf of the laity, congratulated the new Archdeacon ¡ on bis appointment, and Mr R C Enyon seconded, while the Rev E J Edwards spoke in a like manner for tho clergy. The Archdeacon suitably acknowledged kindly reference, kindly reference.

St Asaph Parish Council. The monthly meeting; of the Parish Council took place on Tuesday evening; present. Mr John Lothian (ohairman), Dr Slenry Lloyd (vice-chairman), Dr Daviesf Messrs H A Cleaver, J Wynne Davies, md S D Thomas, with the clerk, Mr G Dsborne Williams. THE LATE: KING. The Chairman proposed, in the name of the citizens of Sb A83pl1, a vote of condol- ence with Their Majesties King George the Fifth and Queen Mary, the Queen Mother, and the other members of the Royal Family, on the death of our beloved Sovereign King Edward the Seventh. Dr Henry Lloyd, in seconding the motion, said that we all feel an a nation the untimely and irreparable loss. The motion was unanimously agreed to, all present standing as a mark of respect. It was resolved to issue notices drawing attention to the King's Proclamition as to the observance of Friday as a day of mourning, and giving particulars of the memorial services in the Cathedral and C.M. Chapel. NEW COUNCILLOR. On the motion of Mr S D Thomas, seconded by Mr H A Cleaver, Mr Robert Hughes, grocer, of L jwer-street, was elect- ed a Parish Councillor in the room of Mr Morgan Williams, resigned. R FOOTPATH BY PENTRE. A letter was read from the L. and N.W. Railway Co., disputing the contention of the Council aa to a public right-of-way under Pentre Bridge, and that the use thereof by the public was in the nature of a trespass. In the opinion of several of the members there was an undoubted right-of-way, and it was resolved that the matter be referred to the following committee, to satisfy themselves as to the public rights with a view to make a representation to the District Counoil :-Dr Davies, Messrs H A Cleaver, Robert Jones, and the Chair- man. THE RATE. A complaint was received from the Overseers of the Parish as to heavy oall of aC70 for special expenses, necessitating the levying of a special rate of 3d in the 9. The Chairman stated that a large ex- penditure had been incurred in relaying the pipe line after the washing away of the river bank by the recent floods. The Vice-chairman was of opinion that the damage was oaused by the non-repair of the river banks by the riparian owners who were in receipt of rents from certain fields for the express purpose of keeping up the banks of the river, and unless this was done there was likely to be a repeti- tion of the damage. There was also a great nuisance along Peng worn-road during the winter months, owing to the flooding of the roads from tho same cause. The matter was being enquired into by the County Council. This matter was also referred to the Oommittee for consideration and report.

St. Asaph (Flint) Rural District Council. The annual meeting was held on Friday, present:—Messrs W Morris, W Conwy Bell, Llew B Evans, J Lothian, E Morgan, George Williams, W Watts, Edward Wil- liams, W S Roberts, Jno Jones, R E Griffiths, C Grimsley (clerk), R Lloyd (road surveyor), and E 0 Evans (sanitary surveyor and inspector). THE NEW CHAIRMAN. £ Mr E Morgan proposed that Mr Wm Morris (Rhuddlan) be the new chairman, Mr Conwy Bell seconded, and referred to the excellent way in which that gentle- man had discharged the duties of the chair, whilst presiding over the deliberations of the Rhuddlan Parish Council. The election proved unanimous, and Mr Morris assured them that in everything he did he would have the welfare of the dis- trict at heart. THE VICE-CHAIRMAN. Mr Conwy Bell proposed that Mr J Lothian be vice-chairman. Mr R E Griffiths and Mr W S Roberts seconded. Mr J Lothian proposed that Llew B Evans (Rhuddlan) be vice-chairman. Mr Jno Jones seconded. On being appealed to allow his name to go to the vote, Mr Lothian said he would do so if it were the unanimous wi.sh of the members, but not otherwise. Mr Llew Evans then withdrew hi3 name, and Mr Lothian was elected, thank- ing the members for the honour they had conferred on him. DEATH OF THE KING. The Chairman referred to the death of King Edward, and proposed a vote of condolence with the members of the Royal Family, which was passed in silence. THE UPKEEP OF ROADS: TOO MUCH EXPENDITURE. A complaint was received from the Cwm Parish Council as to the state of the roads in that district, In the opinion of the Council more labour was required on the roads and less material. Mr W Conwy Bell said he thought that the matter ooald stand over for the present, and he also proposed that the tenders for the carting of material for road repairs be also referred to a small oommittee who should go over the whole of the district roads for the purpose of ascertaining whnt was'really required for their repair. He was sorry to say that he had a surprise packet for the Counoil. He had had pre- pared by the best authority some figures, and he was sorry to say that either their Surveyor did not understand his business or there was something radically wrong with the system under which they were working. He was sorry to say that their roads in the St Asaph district cost the ratepayers about 27 per mile more than in I other districts. The figures he had had supplied him were as to] Iowa :-Hawarden Rural District, with a mileage of 186, had an average of E14 6s per mile, and employed one surveyor aod 27 men; Holywell, 285 miles, at £ 14 15a per mile, two surveyors, 49 regular men and occasional help in the winter, steam rolling regularly carried out, and the cost of which was included in the L14 15i; Overton distriot, 99 miles, X12 16s per mile, one surveyor, 14 men, and two extra men occasionally S n Asaph, 81 miles, iCl9 4s per mile, one surveyor, and 15 men. It would be seen from those figures that the St Asaph district roads oost 27 per mile more than the Overton or Maelor district, and aC5 more than either Hawarden or Holywell. Why did he not know? It really meant that this district was taxed to the extent of X400 per annum more than Overton for the roads, notwith- standing the fact that the Overton district had a very large number of mechanical motors passing through it, and where the traffio was very heavy. He proposed that a oommittee personally inspect their roads in the distriot, and after they had done so the members ooald go through the tenders and asoertain the amount of material which, in their opinion, would be required. That system was being adopted in the No. 1 district of the County Council, of whieh he was chairman, and he believed that it would result in their being able to save a considerable amount of money. It was an extraordinary thing that last month the Surveyor asked for another £100 for road repairs for the ensuing year, and that in the face of the fact that the County Coun- 011 had taken off 5 miles of the roads over which there was the heaviest traffic. The road he meant was that from Prestatyn to to the boundary of Abergele. It was against all common sense that such a state of things should exist, and what was the use of Mr Morgan and himself fighting on the County Council for the maining of roads, it, when they had gained their point, they found that the expenditure on the remaining district roads was heavier ? The Road Surveyor asked to be allowed to explain matters. The Chairman: No; not until a speoifio oharge has been made. Mr Conwy Bell: I think we should hear other members before the Surveyor. The Vice-Chairman: What roads in the districts you have mentioned are steam rolled ? Mr Conwy Bell: Holywell have steam rolled for years, and that is included in the L14 per mile. Mr E Morgan agreed with Mr Conwy Ball, and seconded his proposal. He had seen the figures Mr Bell had referred to at the meeting of the County Main Roads Committee, and he was bound to say that they came as a great surprise to him. He could not understand it, and their eyes had been opened. The St Asaph district was placed in an advantageous position as regards material, and the cartage in other districts would be heavier. St Asaph and Holywell had material at their very doors, and he felt that it was child's play to go on as they were doing. It placed the members of that Council in an awkward position on the County Com- mittees when such a state of things existed. Mr Edward Williams hoped that the Council would consider the position of the villages. They heard a great deal about the making up the roads, but the villages seemed to be neglected. In Dyserth people had to wade through mad to go to Church or Chapel, and he hoped that if any steam rolling was done it would be in the villages where people had to walk about. Mr Llew Evans said he felt that the Council should have some information as to the nature of the tramo on the roads in the various districts. It was possible that in the other districts the circumstances were quite different. Mr Conwy Bell considered that the ad- vantage would be with the St Asaph distriot, where there were many roads with very little traffic. Mr Edwin Morgan: St Asaph, I should say, has the larger per oentage of roads which are not used. About my place there are many roads scarcely used at all. The motion of Mr Conwy Bell having been carried, The Road Surveyor asked permission to address the Council, but the Chairman said he did not think it was necessary, as there was still no speoifio oharge against the Surveyor. It was agreed that the Chairman, Vice- Chairman, Mr Conwy Bell, Mr Morgan, and Mr Edward Williams should form the oommittee, meeting at Bodfari and driving through the district. THE ISOLATION HOSPITAL. A letter was read from the Parish Coun- oil of St Asaph urging the Rural Distriot Council to proceed at once with the erection of an isolation hospital on the pieoe of land adjoining the Workhouse. It was arranged to oall a special meeting of the joint committees on a convenient day. RHUDDLAN PARISH COUNCIL FINDS FAULT. A letter was next read from the Rhudd- Ian Parish Council threatening that unless attention was paid to sanitary matters in the parish the Local Govornment Board would be written to. Mr Conwy Bell said the matter was discussed at the meeting of the Parish Council, and he believed it was the result of what was stated in the AJedical Officer of Health's report. Ho did not know what the new members wanted, unless it was that the whole of the houses should be connected with the main sewer, and that would mean a tremendous expense, which the parish could not afford. After a long discussion, Mr Llew Evans suggested that they ask the Sanitary In- spector for a report as to the number of houses connected with the main sewer and the number that should- be conneoted. The Chairman did not consider that every house required connection. Mr Conwy Bell said the Bodrhyddan estate was quite prepared to go to the expense if the people would pay for it. It had already cost them about 9400. Mr W S Roberts seconded Mr Llow B Evans, and this was carried. THE SANITARY INSPECTOR'S REPORT. Mr Evans placed his report before the meeting dealing with the work of the district, and was satisfactory.

Serious Accident near Bodelwyddan Church. A serious accident occurred on the Glas- coed Hill, near the Bodelwyddan Marble Church, six miles from Rhyl, on Saturday. Mr Jones, bailiff of tho Rhyl County Court, was returning home on a motor- bioyole. He was descending I he hill, which is very steep, the main road from St Asaph to Abergele running at right angles at the foot. He lost control of his machine and, dashed into a motor-oar which was travelling from Manchester to Colwyn Bay. The motor-bicycle was smashed, and the rider, throwing himself from the machine before the collision, fell on his head. The wings of the motor-car were damaged, and the steering gear was dislocated. MThe oooupanfs of the car pulled up im- mediately, pioked up Mr Jones, who was badly cat about the head and body, and carried him in the oar to Abergele, where he was medically attended. -<. U_u_-
