I 4: D. n_. _1'- "Every Picture _Jp||||| j j tells astory. t ¿ Iu Have you suspected your Kidneys ? r dl Nothing is more to be feared than kidney disease, because it creeps on you unawares- Your kidneys may be breaking down cell by cell and losing their power of filtering the blood, and yet you may have no warning ache or pain whatever-no symptom of the dread disease beyond a constant feeling of depression, languor, and general debility, which you have put down to overwork, perhaps, or errors of diet. Kidney complaint, however, does not affect every sufferer in the same way-no patient has all the symptoms, but every patient has some of the symptoms. One man may have a bad back and rheumatic pains, but no sign of dropsy another may have distressing urinary disorders and gravel, and.yet have ra strong back. One woman may h^vq puffy eyes, swollen ankles, and irrfegular heart; another^ may have pains in the loins and sides, dizzy spells, and splitting headaches. ■ If you have any of these symptoms, kidney breakdown may be nearer than von thinkt and your trouble may suddenly tum to: Stone in. the kidney, dropsy, lumbago, chronic rheumatism, or bladder disorders, which are so hard to bear. l. Only a kidney medicine can heal the kidneys. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are solely for the kidneys and bladder. They. act ia harmony with Nature, gently healing the kidneys, and restoring their power of filtering kidney poisons out of the blood. TROEDYRHIW MAN CURED OF RHEUMATISM.

The Northern Union Game. TOOR AT MERTHYR. A poor game resulted from the meeting of Mer- thyr and Mid-Rhondda, at College Field. The teams met earlier in the season, and the result was a draw. Merthyr protested on the ground that • the referee was wrong in disallowing a goal dropped by C-owmeadow because a Rhondda man had touch- ed the ball in its night. The protest was upheld, and the match ordered to Le replayed. Merthyr started downhill, and were soon attacking. Harris just failed with a drop for goal, and then by strong forward rushes Rhondda reached the other end. Scrummage after scrummage followed on the Mer- thyr quarter line, the Rhondda forwards controlling the game. At lenjrth the Merthyr three-quarters got going Vaughan being pushed into touch when only a few yards from the Rhondda goal-line. Rhondda were penalised for a foul, but Jones failed at goal from a good position. At half-time there was no score. Rain had fallen most of the time and both ground and ball were greasy. Soon after the re-start Merthyr took up an attacking position. Cowmeadow kicked well up the field, and Dicky Williams, who was playing for Merthyr for the first time. followed up and scored, James failing at goal. A minute later Recs dropped for goal. the ball passing under the bar. The visi- tors now forced Merthyr back, and Wrentmore scored after the ball had passed through the hands of half a dozen men. The goal points were added. .Toe Jones scored another try for Rhondda. and again the goal points were added. The final score read: Mid-Rhondda, 2 goals, 2 tries (10 points); Merthyr, 1 try (3 points). The Merthyr men strongly protested against the first try being awarded to Mid-Rhondda as they al- leged that Wrentmore had crossed the dead ball line. Mr. Gomer Key (Aberdare), however, allowed the try. Some other decisions did not please the crowd, and at the close of the game a rush was made for him, boys and youths booing at him. He was escorted from the field by officials of the Mer- thyr Club and the police and escaped without moles- tatioc, EBBW VALE BEATEN. The visit of Ebbw Vale, the Welsh N.U. cham- pions, caused a deal of interest at Treherbert, but while the miserable conditions which prevailed mili- tated against a largo crowd, the small number that attended were rewarded with a brilliant game, which bristled with interest from start to finish. Treherbert, opening with a strong wind, were early in the ascendant, and although Duncan expe- rienced hard lines in failing to score, Pan Fitzger- ald soon atoned by making a mark, and dropped a goal from near the halfway line. Ebbw Vale retali- ated, and equalised b,v means of a penalty, Chick Jenkins being responsible for the goal. Treherbert were in no way daunted, and Fitzgerald dropped another goal, which enabled his side to lead by two points at the interval. On resumption, it was fully expected that Ebbw Vale would monopolise the play, bnt anticipations were not realised Tho home forwards opened out in brilliant fashion," their well-organised rushes being easily superior to the visitors' defence, and a smart break-awav and kick by young Francis gave an op- portunity "to Hanford to demonstrate his speed, which he quickly availed himself of, and he scored a fine try, which Fitzgerald converted. The crowd nearly went, frantic with delight over this further success. Fitzgerald dropped another marvellous goal from a penalty, but it was disallowed, owing to one of the home forwards being premature in following up. For Ebbw Vale Bnrgham. Higgins, Harvey, and Johns strove manfully to stem the tide, but they were powerless, and on the day s nlay they were hopelessly outclassed from start to finish.

Merthyr Amateur Ruffby Notes. CBy "Pererin."I Merthyr received a visit from Cross Keys last Saturday. There was a very meagre attendance, and just as Cross Keys kicked off a heavy down- pour of rain commenced, which lasted right through the game. Merthyr were the first to get goipg, but the visitors worked out. of danger, and in turn invaded Merthyr territory. Merthyr soon got back again and nearly scored, but a timely relief took play to mid-field Merthyr were, however, splen- did in the open, and again came neat scoring. The first bout of passing was by Cross Keys, but, it was spoiled by the greasy state of the bail, and Elias Merthvr's wing- man, piced up in the open, and' although he had a clear field, he was not speedy enough to turn his oportunity to pur- pose, and he was overhauled. Halt-time arrived with no score registered.^ The second half was similar in character to the first, Merthyr having slightly the better .of the Play, hut towards the end of the game Cross Keys broke away, and James, the centre-three-quarter picking up in the loose dropped a beautiful goal just on time. Merthyr scarcely deserved to lose on the run of the play. The Merthyr Thursday's were keenly disappointed at the failure of Llwynypia to put in an appear- ance last Thursdav, as the match had been anti- cipated with great eagerness.

| Merthyr Note* [ TBy Keeper. Merthyr had to once more acknowledge defeat By Ton Pentre on Saturday. It was the fifth meeting this season, and Ton Pentro have won three of the matches, the remaining two ending in drawn Karnes. It is rather a coincidence that in each of the games won by Ton Pentre, Merthyr have given tlicin pen- alty goals, and the Rhondda men cannot boast of having won their games on merit. In each game Merthyr have shown the supenor^tballbnttheir lack of weight has told against them. An unlortu- nate incident occurred in Saturday s game, ho of the players coming to blows, with the result that both men were Rent off tho field. Merthyr have onlv two more matches in League football, playing Milford United at home, and Mardy, at Mardy. Then for a wind-np match, ar- rangements have been made with Manchester City to visit Merthvr on the 29th instant. As this will be the first, visit of an English Soccer team to Mer- thvr—and a First. Division one at, ttia-lt should go a long way to encourage the gamlt In Merthyr.

Tredegar District N?te*» [By "Old Judge. The Monmouthshire League match at Brynmawr was played under the worst possible climatic con- ditions, and the weather to ft large extent was re- sponsible for the mediocre display Riven, and tie handful of spectators, although doubtless gratified that the homesters won, were disappointed with tne game. The homesters were far and away the su- perior team. and" could easily have piled on a higher score. In the first ba!f CornhiU, Jack Itees, and Clarke scored tries for JlryiimauT, not one of them being converted. George Cooper, Brynmawr s li&lt- backd sustained an injury to his ii»nd 's feared, will keep him out of the field for the rest of the season. In the second half Cornhill scored two tries for Brynmawr, Jim Foley converting one. A feature of t.lie game was thc display at forward given by W. G. Evans.

Aberdare and District Note*, fBy "Wanderer. There was little in the game between Alxrdarc and Welton Eovets Association teams, which was played at Aberdare, on Saturday. Both teams fielded reserves, and Aberdare, for some time, play ed with only nine men. fcrom tho outset the homesters were, however, masters of sujiation, and although thev only netted one goal in the lirst portion yet thev gave their opponents a warm time. In the second half the 'Damns did better, and before the call of time put iu an additional four goals. It was apparent from the outset that the 'I)arians were not oot to overdo matters, but evidently they were reserving themselves for the match on Monday. Forward, the most conspicuous were the two Joneses, wwfle Hawkins, on the wing, did what fell to his lot in a creditable manner, al- though this was unusually small. J he half-bacKS were good, and fed the forwards well, while in cle- fence Goodwin and Pritchaid were safe, and coii.so- queutlj shielded Curtis feiisideinljl^ .UtMjjiug to J the play of the visitors the only feature was the defence and the play of Taylor in goal. The goal- getters for the 'Darians were Evan Jones (2), T. 1). Jones, Watts and Hawkins. A Western League match was played at Aber- dare, on Monday, when Bristol City lteserves were the visitors. There was a large crowd of specta- tors. The visitors were a man short throughout the game aid the 'Darians fielded practically their strongest eleven. The first half was interesting, and although Aberdare had bv far the better of the ar- gument neither side scored. Rain interfered with the play after the change of ends. but. still Aberdare were the more prominent as a team. Individual work by Downes ended in a corner being gained, by Bris- tol. and from a weil placed centreing kick Radford headed the ball beyond the reach of Carter in goal. Clever work by T.

Coleman kicked off for the homesters, and play set- tled at halfway. III) t kick Jones the Mountain Ash forwards tackled. Bailey in possession on the home line, Kvans saving the situ- ation by finding touch Caple broke away splen- didly and passed to Bevan, who went over the line, hut was recalled for a forward pass. The home halves, after prettv inter-passing, nearly scored, Bayliss being tackled on the line. From a scrum- mage on the visitors' 25 Bailc.v beat Jones, and Ben- jamin scored in the corner lor Maesteg, Gnnn fail- ing to convert. Maestc« maintained a keen attack, Donovan bringing relief with a good kick. Picking up in the home 25 P C Bevan forced his way through a bunch of opponents and scored under the posts, Donovan's kick for goal striking the upright. A few minutes lat-er M'vndham Jones, after a clever dribble half the length'of the field, scored another try for the visitors amidst cries of "off-side" from the spectators. The referee, however, awarded the score. The- visitors restarted after the interval, Mo.esteg at once taking up the attack. The referee had oc- casion to warn one of the Mountain Ash players for too vigorous play. Maesteg were attacking on the visiting line, when the ball was kicked oyer, and Bayliss, dashing up fell on the ball and claim- ed a try. This the referee disallowed amidst loud booing by the spectators, and angry shouts of "Play the game, referee. Following a scrum, one of the Mountain Ash plavers it was said, carried the ball over his own line, but the referee granted them a minor. Angry shanw came from the spectators, the home players also protesting against the de- cision. The second half had only been in progress 15 minutes when the referee (Mr. W. Best., Penarth) stopped the game. The spectators rushec) into the field of play. and what threatened to become a serious demonstration was checked by the home players and the consta- bles on duty on the ground surrounding Mr. Best, and escorting him to the headouarters of the club. The crowd followed, and kept up a continuous hooi- ing and booing. There was, however, no attempt ing and booing. There was, however, no attempt to assault the referee •X- At Michael's Pield on Saturday afternoon, a match was played between the Jubilee Rovers and the Aberaman C. L. Brigade. The rain poured down at intervals and the field was a veritable quagmire. Jubilee pressed daring the greater part of the first half, and a goal was obtained through the instrumentality of Tom Watkins, on the left wing. The second moiety was to a great extent a, repetition of the first the Brigade getting away with a few fine bursts' but the upper-hand being held by the Rovers. There was no further scoring, and the Rovers won by a goal to nil.

Rhymney Valley Rugby Lear"* Notes. fBy the "Old Waff. With the League championship practically in their possession, several of the Rhymney players are evi- dently losing interest in the last few remaining friendly fixtures. Cardiff Harlequins, who hold a good position in the Senior Division of the Cardiii and District League visited the "town of t-ong last Saturday, and the homesters could only muster nine of their regular League team. Owing to tho sticky, slimy surface ,rood back play was quite out or the question and°naiurally, tight scrummag- ing was very much in evidence, in which phase ot the game the Citizens proved 110 mean exponents, the home defence Oil several occasions being severe- ly tested. Later the tiome ups changed the venue, and a rush enabled P,o"er Death to cross the visi- tors' line with an unconverted try. Rhymney at- tacked afterwards, but play became rather scrappy, and thc final saw the League Champions winners by 3 points to nil. Rhymney did not complete their home engagements with anv great flourish of trum- pets. True, the game served to give several re- cruits an opportunity of being tested in better eom- pany. For the winners Lloyd (who fielded la^e), Beddoe and Benjamin did welL • Deri, tho prospective champions of the Junior League, visited rontloitvn, and a good game was witnessed. The homesters attacked soon, after tne start, but were met with a sterling delence. The "Ponty" forwards again nearly got over. Weeks conceding a minor. Later Sam Jones scored for the homesters, but failed to add the extras. Re.stat- ing Deri soon retaliated and were not long 111 equalising. After resuming, both teams tried des- perately to score the winning points, but the de- fence of both prevailed, the game ending in. a draw of 1 try each. For Pontlottyn Sam Jones Tom Davies, D. Jones and J Evans did well, while, for the visitors, Weeks, Bowen and Stephens were very prominent. Machen and Caerphilly met in a friendly encoun- ter at the Monmouthshire town. Both sides were far from full strength. I The first half witnessed a very even encounter, but for some infringement by the visitors, Berry eicked a penalty goal. for the homesters. This proved to be aU .the scoring, Machen winning by 3 points to niL

Rhymney Valley & District Association Notes. [By "the New BoY.") Truly Troedyrhiw have accomplished a great feat in winning the Junior Cup at tho first time of ask- ing. Only last season the present team tried their luck in the Third Division, and overcame all oppo- sition in that particular competition. Promotion this season to the Second Division saw them.'still, on the upward grade and despite the more power- ful clubs against which they have had to contend, | ibe^ bitterness of defeat was linknowu to them until i their fateful meeting with Nelson on Good Friday, when they went down by 1 goal to nil. Harking hack to the cup tie, Troedyrhiw were und<>ubtedly the superior side throughout- Griff -Lloyd opened the scoring with a grand surprise shot. Cwm re- the scoring with a grand surprise shot. Cwm re- taliated, Moore and Whitcombe missing .glorious opportunities of equalising. Troedyrhiw again at- tacked, and on several occasions were nearly through. Hearsey eventually snapped up a pass, and placed them two up. For a long time after re- suming Troedyrhiw were in the ascendant, and only good defence by Greenaway and Price kept them out. The heavy going now seemed to tell on Troed- yrhiw. and had Cwm been blessed with two fairly good wingers, their chances of victory at, this per- iod would have seemed more roseate. Time aft.er time were they placed in possession, only to be robbed when on the verge of shooting. Later, Gar- ret sent across to Moore who beat Hackleton with a long shot. Inspired by this success Cwrn put forth every effort to draw level, but although they ex- perienced decidedly hard lines, no further success came their way. Troedyrhiw won, and that deserv- edly, as, for fully 30 minutes, they were the super- ior side. Hackleton in goal, played splendidly. Maggs and Joe Williams were best in defence, For- ward, Tommy Lloyd was the shining light, although his confreres were very little behind him. For the losers Price, at back, and Greenaway, at half. were truly great. Forward Moore was best. At the time of writing the Rhymney Valley First Division Championship seems as great a puzzle as ever. Probably the meeting of Ton Pentre and Alierdare this week will settle that much-debated point. In the Second Division Cwm. as a result of their victory at Dowlais, now head the table. Their meet- ing with Nelson next Monday, and the visit of Troedyrhiw to New Tredegar this week end, will probably decide the destinatoin of the Second Di- vision trophy. Should both clubs win their re- maining matches, then a deciding game between these cup finalists will be necessary. Dowlais should have visited Gilfach last Saturday, but owing to several of their players being on the injured list, they failed to make the journe. I Bodlinog entertained New Tredegar, and a really good game was witnessed. The defence, however, of both teams proved superior to the attack, the game resulting in an even draw of 1 goal each. Bargoed were at home to Aberaman. and despitc, the heavy downpour, a bright game resulted. Dur- ing the first half, Bargoed, with the slope in their favour, scored through Mason and Duggan. After resuming the visitors displayed better form, but could only succeed in piercing the home defence on but one occasion. For Bargoed Jack Davies, Flet- cher and Mason were verv prominent. .;c. Pengain Old Boys and Gilfach, finalists in the New Tredegar Easter Tournament, met at New Tre- j degar to decide the destination of the cup and medals. Gilfach proved top sawyers throughout, eventually witaiiog by 3 goals tQ aiii By their splendid victory of two clear goals over Pontlottyn Juniors, who thus lose their undefeated record, Treharris Juniors have assured themselves of the Third Division championship. Both clubs have displayed most consistent form throughout the season, Treharris only losing one match at Pontlot- tyn, and the latter club now experiencing their first defeat at, Treharris. Unfortunately, owing to the match taking place after the Junior Cup final, the ground was in a fearful condition, and good play was out of the question. The home Juniors attacked from the outset, and despite the defence of Jlawkes, Bowen and Leg;re. Tommy Williams spied an opening and placed them one up. Despite this reVirse, the visitors pluckily attacked, and on several occasions came near equalising. The sec- ond half saw Treharris again in th ascendant. Treharne early added a second point. The lat-er stages were very evenly fought out. The home- sters won by 2 clear goals. Ystrad Mynacli were due to appear at Dowlais. but. orcsumably, broke their journey at Treharris, and so failed to appear at Dowlais to the disap- pointment of a largo crowd. In the South Wales League. Mardy strengthened their position as League champions by defeating Cwmnarc at home by 4 clear goals. In the West- ern Leapuc Aberdare over-ran V/elton Rovers to the extent of 5 goals to iiil.-T,arry went under to Bristol Rovers away by 3 goals to nil.

I ) Rhymney Valley Association League. TREllARRIS-TON PENTRE DISPUTE. A meeting of the Rhymney Valley League was held at the Junction Hotel, Hengoed, on Tuesday night, at which the Treharris v. Ton Pentre match was discussed. The referee's letter stated that only 58 minutes out of 90 were played. The Treharris delegate said that about ten minutes before half- time he went to headquarters with a player, and some time after three of the Treharris players told him the match was over. He at once sent word to the referee that the players were coming back. Afterwards one of the Ton players reproached him with the unsportsmanlike action of the Treharris team in leaving the field, but he was afterwards told that the respective captains had agreed to leave the ground. The Ton Pentre delegates cle. nied this, and said that the action of the Ireharns team was unfair to the spectators, who had paid their shillings, and it meant financial loss to the Ton Pentre team in consequence of the spectators feeling aggrieved. The Chairman summed up the case, and pointed out that it was legal to play I-, match for less than 90 minutes if the referee so de- cided, or if the two captains agreed to do so. It was decided, on the motion of Mr. G. Morgan, se- conded by Mr. Kenvin, that the match should be replayed. Ton Pentre did not agree with this de- cision, as they considered they were being penal- ised, and said they would appeal to the ASSOCIATION if they did not get satisfaction.

HILL'S PLYMOUTH CRICKET CLUB. To-morrow (Saturday) the Hill's Plymouth Cricket Club will open its season with a match with the Cardiff Camerons (last year's winners of the Car- diff and District League and "Western Mail" Cup). By the fixture list it will be seen that a match will be played each Saturday throughout the comiig season on the Plymouth ground. As a means of spending a pleasant Saturday afternoon the Ply- mouth grounds will appeal to a large number of to- cal lovers of cricket and larger numbers would doubtlessly flock to tho pretty field did they but know of its many attractions Bic club is now in the foremost rank of Welsh clubs, and better ex- hibitions of cricket cannot be witllessedon any Welsh ground.

R E V I E WS., "'Thtl A, t of Health," by Upton Sirdair AND Vichm] Willian. is ( Health and Strength," Ltd., 12, Burleigh-street. Strand, Londou, W.C., price 5s.). The nature of this book may be judged from its title. It contains much valuable advice on diet, digestion, breathing, bathing, etc. Health, it is pointed out, has much MOJE than a money value, and those who desire to keep in good health would do well to peruse this volume. At the end there is an appendix containing a very useful diet list, giv- ing the values of certain foods. This should prove to be one of the most helpful of the many books published by "Health AND Strength." Under the title of "Moral Education in Eighteen Countries," Mr. Gustav Spiller, the organiser of the recent International Moral Education Congress, has complied a remarkable work. which supplies, from first-hand sources, detailed information concerning the action or inaction of the various Governments and tho leading education authorities in promoting moral education in the national schools. Particu- lars are also'given of the moral teaching contained in the religious manuals (Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, etc.) ol all the principal countries; and a bibliography is appended containing no less than 750 items. The work. which is being published this week by Messrs. Watts, is addressed to all those engaged, or specially interested, in the education of our youth. With a view of commemorating the centenary of Paine's death (June 8th). Messrs. Watts arc issu- ing the late Dr. Moncurc D. Conway's "Life of Thomas Paine" in three sixpenny parts, the first of which will be readv this week. They are also pub- lishing in their well-known sixpenny series a selec- tion from Paine's political writings, including his "Common Sense," "The American Crisis." and his speeches on the trial and death of Louis XVI. The same publishers announce that Mr. Thomas Whit- taker, M.A.. has prepared a second edition of his "Origins of Christianity," with a lengthy new preface and an appendix on Galatians, and it will be published immediately. The Rationalist Press Association is issuing as a. penny pamphlet Dr. Nansen's recent lecture on "Science and the Pur- pose of Life." "Tono-Bnngay," by H. G. Wells (Messrs. Mac- millan and Co.). This is Mr. Wells's latest novel, and so great has been the demand for it already that it promises to be the most successful yet writ- ten by this author. It runs'to close on five hundred pages, and the interest cf the reader is maintained right to the end. All who have read it speak in eulogistic terms of it. It is written in Mr. Wells' best style, and certainly is a great novel. Mr. Wells was popular with a large number of people before; "Tono-Bungay" will add to his popularity. It is a sincere, courageous and stimulating study of modern life. and ah attempt to find the signifi- canoe of it all. And, moreover, there is a touch of humour running through it all. The characters in the narrative are "Warm, 4aman persons, whether seen in slight sketches such as-those of the house- keeper, or Nicodemus Frapp and 'his family, or set forth in deeper tones and colours, like Edward Ponderevo, with his sfaall brain and practically aspiring soul, his wife, an admirable figure, and Marion. Mr. Wells betrays more mannerisms, and here and there the story. is rather abrupt, but never- theless it is delightful reading., It is packed with well-told incidents, carefully chosen to illustrate the Wells' philosophy. Jt is a sincere attempt to find the significance of the whcrte trend of modern money making, and reader* pan not fail to be stim- ulated. Such a work as this is calculated- to give a certain class of redddrs 'v better impression of novels than they baVe hitherto held. It is di- vided into four sectiohs—1''Th<S Days before Tono- Bungay was invented"; "Thc Rise of Tono-Bun- gay"; "The Great Days of Tono-Bungay," and "The Aftermath of Tono-Bungay." The book is printed in excellent type, and while it is likely to gain fame for Mr. Wells, it also reflects credit on the publishers.

Spring Skin Troubles. WHY ZAM-BUK IS SPECIALLY NEEDED TO-DAY, The first crop of Spring pimples and nasty eruptions have appeared and unless the skin ig at once protected and corrected by Zam-Buk, there is danger of serious skin disease. During the recent cold weather the vitality of the skin has been lowered-first, by the weight and friction of heavy clothing; second, by lack of fresh air; third, by the numbed "sleepy" condition of the glands which should give the skin its natural oil baths; and fourth, by underfeeding-the blood has not been cir- culating freely enough noarthe surface. Zam-Buk gently and regularly applied gives proper moisture and a workable flexibility to the tissues, and induces the blood to circulate better. Thus the outer skin gets properly fed, normal activity of pores and glands restored, accumulating poisons which cause Spring blotches and pimples are extracted, and the old tissue is made sound and strong. The Zam-Buk protective and corrective skin treatment is ideal because it is natural, and natural because Zam-Buk is made up only of Nature's vegetable saps and juices, which the skin will absorb, thus carrying a healing and purifying agent right down to tissues. 1 Zam-Buk destroys germs, acts as a powerful antiseptic, kills pain, allays all chafing and irritation, takes out inflammation, expels even the most deep-seated causes of eczema, ulcers, and other skin-disease; and, finally, it grows new healthy skin over the worn-out parts. Between Zam-Buk and mere ointments a gulf of difference exists. No cheap toilet salve can be of any good for eczema, Spring pimples, ulcers, piles, etc., and these ailments are not allowed to be mentioned on the labels of cheap ointments. Buying Zam-Buk is true economy, firstly, because the ailments Zam-Buk cures are printed both on the lid and outside of ppckn.ge, and, secondly, because t'i that j, is elftun/sd e, it— £ n<i £ Mie<
