Views oT Welsh Members. SIR ALFRED THOMAS, M.P Questioned regarding the Veto Bill. Sir Alfred Thomas, M.P. (chairman of the Welsh Parliamentary Party) eaid"I regard the Veto Bill as the fulfilment of the pronouncement made by Mr. Asquith in his Albert Hall speech. No level-headed administration could in future take office without such proposals as are indicated in the text of the Veto mea- sure. I believe the Bill will give general satis- faction, not only to the Liberal Party, but to the whole of the Progressive forces. It is only by the passing of such a Bill that we can ex- pect to see placed on the Statute Book those great reforms which the Liberal Party have so long sought for." MR. THOMAS RICHARDS, M.P. Mr. Thomas Riohards, M.P. for Wes* Mon- mouth, and secretary of the South Wales Min- ers' Federation, said that the weakness of the reform outlined in the Bill seemed to him to be this, that only Bills introduoed during the first two years of a progressive Administration could be carried into law if opposed by the Second Chamber, and that the effectiveness of a Parliament for the remainder of ita exist- ence would be crippled for any great reform. It would, he tbought, be highly interesting to know the basis upon which the Second Cham- ber was to be elected; much would depend upon that. Of having a Second Chamber at all, perhaps the proposals incorporated in the Bill were as much as could at the present time be carried through. "This," added Mr. Rich. ards, "is not the time for hairsplitting, but, from a Labour point of view, the proposals contained in this Veto Bill must not be regard- ed as a final settlement of the question." MR. W. BRACE, M.P. Mr. W. Brace, M.P., said that so far as a lay mind could venture an opinion on the language ueed by lawyers, it seemed that the Bill meant that the House of Common$ should have com- plete control not only over questions of finance but also over all legislation, and in so far as the clauses of the Bill met that fundamental principle, he thought it would receive the full support of Labour with all the other Progres- sive sections of politics in the country. As to whether the Bill, as drafted, carried out that idea., he would prefer not venturing an opinion until he heard the Bill expounded by its authors. MR. KEIR HARDIE, M.P. Mr. Keir Hardie, M.P., said his objection to the Bill was that it left the Lords with too much power. "First of all," said Mr. Hardie, "I am opposed to the Bill, believing that the old method of settling the power of the respec- tive Houses by resolution is far preferable; and seoondly, I am opposed to the very large powers still left to the House of Lords. For example, a Bill is sent up one Session and is rejected. If in the suooeeding Session any material amendment is made in the Bill, then it becomes a new Bill. So long as the prin- ciple of the Bill remains intact, the fact that even a substantial amendment (jiving effect to the same principle is made in the second Session should not vitiate the measure and pre- vent the second Session from being counted."
Seventy Collieries to Stop.

Seventy Collieries to Stop. TROUBLE IN THE ANTHRACITE COALFIELD. In accordance with their resolution, the mem- bers of the Enginemen and Stokers' Society on Monday served notice on the owners of the anthracite collieries in South Wales to oeaee work at the end of the month. This action has been brought about by the failure of the men to obtain increased rates and more satisfactory conditions. These they have been pressing for some considerable time, and they have sought the co-operation of the Anthracite Miners' As- sociation in their decision to tender notices, but this has been refused by the larger body. The.effect of the enginemen and stokers' action will be to render between sixty and seventy anthracite collieries idle, together with 16,000 men. The membership of the Enginemen and Stokers' Union is under one thousand all told, but the serious part of the matter is that their action will effectively stop all the an- thracite collieries The stoppage is not expect- ed to last long.
BICYCLE DURABILITY.

BICYCLE DURABILITY. A high grade bicycle not only gives the greatest possible pleasure to the riler, but it also proves the most durable and reliable. The Centaur cycle, fitted with the Centaur bracket two-speed gear, provides the perfection of en- joyment for the cyclist. The very reason for applying the gear to the bracket instead of to the nub is that the greater space available makes it; possible to use pinions of much greater strength and durability. Mr. G. N. Gunn, of Preston, recently wrote to the Centaur Cycle Company regarding a Centaur machine, which he purchased four years ago. "It has given me entire satisfaction, and, if possible, runs better to-day than when it was new," he savs. "The two-speed gear has never once given any trouble." Centaur cycles may be seen at J. Lewis', 355, High-street, PeDy- darren, Merthyr Tydfil.

FASHIONABLE WEDDING. HORF-RLTHVEN-WOOD. A marriage of special interest was solemnised at St. John's Church, Boecombe, on Thursday, April 21st, the bridegroom being Mr. Charles Hore-Ruthven, only son of the Hon. Charles Edward Stewart Hore-Ruthven (brother of Lord Ruthven) and Mrs. Hore-Ruthven, of Vaynor House, Cefn Coed, Brecknockshire; and the bride, Miss Elyned Rhona Wood, daughter of Colonel Thomas Wood, lata Grena- dier Guards, and the Hon. Mrs. Wood, of Gwernyfed Park, Brecknockshire, and Ramley, Lymington, Hants. As we have received num- erous enquiries concerning the wedding, we publish the following interesting details:- The wedding took place from the residence of the bride's grandmother, the Dowager Lady Tollemache, "Forest End," Christcurch-road, Bournemouth, and there wfts a large congrega- tion of relatives and friends. The ohurch was beautifully decorated with palms and lilies, and the service was fully choral, Mr. Arthur T. George officiating at the organ, and playing appropriate wedding music. The officiating clergy were the Rev. William Wood, Vicar of Mildenhall, Suffolk, and the Rev. B. Griffith (uncles of the bride and bridegroom), assisted by the Rev. E. J. Kennedy, Vicar of St. John's, Bosoombe, who gave an address. Prior to the commencement of the ceremony the organist played a triumphal march by Lemmens, Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" march, "La Cinquantaine" (Gabriel Marie), and "Beroeuse," by Chauvet; and at the end of the service the bridal march from "Lohen- grin," and a serenade by Gounod, finishing up with Mendelsshon's "Wedding March" as the party lerft the ohurch. The bride was given away by her father, and was met at the church door by the clergy and choir. The hymns sung were "0 God our help in ages past" and "0 perfect love," the latter being sung to a tune specially com- posed by the Hon. Wilbraham Tollemache, a cousin of the bride, who looked charming in a handsome and beautiful bridal robe of rich- est soft ivory satin, trimmed with pearl and crystal embroideries, draped with exquisite wide Brussels lace flounces, and caught up with bunches of orange blossom and myrtle. Her Brussels lace train was suspended from the shoulders, and over a small wreath of orange bloesom and myrtle she wore a large Brussels lace veil, all gifts of her mother. Her ornament was a necklace of diamonds and pearls, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Crawshay (uncle and aunt of bridegroom, of Caversham), and (-he carried a lovely shower bouquet. The bride was attended bv five bridesmaids, and a page (Master William Knapton, of Boldre Hill). The bridesmaids (all children) were Miss Marslie Wood (only sister of bride), Miss Sybil Allsopp (daughter of the Hon. Ranulph and Mrs. Allsopp), Miss Rhona Tollemache (daughter of the Hon. and Mrs. Stanhope Tollemache), and Miss Katherine Wood (cousins of the bride), and Miss Cecilia Pigott (cousin of the bridegroom). They wore charming Empire dresses of aoft cream satin, veiled with cream ninon, trimmed with narrow gold passementerie, also Juliet caps of gold braid studded with pearls and tur- quoises, and trimmed on the sides with tur- quoise blue satin bows, with white Tudor shoes and gold buckles. They carried bunches of yellow and white tulips. The page wore a handsome white satin Court suit, trimmed with laoe ruffles and antique paste buttons. He also carried an Empire ebony stick, decorated with yellow tulips, and was presented with a diamond and ruby pin by tne bride, whose presents from the bridegroom were a diamond and sapphire ring and a silver fitted dressing" case. The bride's gift to the bridegroom was gold sleeve links, with crest, etc., engraved, while the bridesmaids received as presents from the bridegroom green enamel safety pin brooches connected with gold chains, from which hung a green enamel and diamond bow. Captain the Hon. Malise Hore-Ruthven, of the Black Watch, and cousin of the bride- groom, officiated as "best man." At the close of the oeremony Colonel and the Hon. Mrs. Wood received their guests at the Burlington Hotel, Boscombe, for lunch, which was served at small tables in the Winter Gardens. The guests were about 120, includ- ing: Colonel Hon. and Mrs. Allsopp, Captain and Mrs. Knapton, R.N., Hon. Stanhope and Mrs. Tollemache, Sir Henry and Lady Bun- bury, Sir Beethron and Hon.

PITIFUL SKIN AFFLICTIONS. My little girl's head started with a lot of pimples and then they began to fill with matter and discharge and as fast as one broke there was a lot more came out until her head was a complete mass of running sores. For days she would not take any notice of us. She began to get thin and weak and I gave up all hope of ever getting her head well again until I saw about the Cuticura Remedies. But Cuticura made it quite well again (it was bad for about six months). Her hair is getting lovely and thick now. Cuticura cured my baby's face at the same time. His dear little nose and chin were raw with this same complaint and used I to run and bleed awfully. When I have carried him down form his sleep his pillow would be covered with blood. One day my neighbour carried him down and she screamed neighbour carried him down, and she screamed to see him covered with blood where the places i had been running. But now he is entirely I free from anything and is such a lovely fat boy. His nose was nearly eaten away with it. I was told by people in the village that I it was the running eczema. I tried endless' ointments but none did it any good till I received I the Cuticura, and I am glad to say that it has j cured both of them. lire. L. Brown, Manor I Cottages, Stanwick, nr.

WORMS,

WORMS, SOME STRIKING SYMPTOMS. A child who is afflicted with Worms will often be in an indifferent state of health. It becomes peevish and irritable, and will have a strong tendency to pick the nose and there will be severe itching of the lower bowel. Grinding the teeth and suddenly starting up in the sleep will also be noticed. The bowels are irregular, some- times constipated, and at others relaxed, with bloody discharges as in dysentry and not infrequently the discharge wj]) be in flakes and shreds which might be taken for partly digested food. The best proof of Wormy is TiVonns and if their presence is sus- pected, immediate steps should be taken to positively establish the fact and when once established, Ccmstock's Dead Shot Worm Pellets should be administered accor- ding to directions. Worms require a specific medicine and there is no remedy so effective as these Pellets. They kill the Worms, destroy their eggs, and dislodge their nests.
