I quickly took it off and tasted it, 'Madam,' I said, 'your troubles are at an end, it is not the Puritan Soap but the objectionable washing powder you use that makes your hands red.' To prove it, I dissolved some of the powder in water, and placed my own white hands in the basin. They went red and rough in a few minutes.

District Council Election.
District Council Election. The Fight in the Wards. Unparalleled Enthusiasm. Scenes Outside the Council Offices The results of the contests in the Various Wards for the four seats rendered vacant in the District Council were declared at the Council Offices, Pentre, on Monday night. They are as follow — WARD NO. 1. Griffith Evans 791 "Aid. Wm. Morgan 628 Majority 163 WARD NO. 2. *W. P. Thomas 1514 W. Phillips 531 Majority. 983 WARD NO, 3, Walter Williams 945 Canon Lewis 762 Majority 183 WARD NO. 4. *W. D. Wight 1025 T. C. Morris 180 Majority 845 Denotes old members. Never in the whole, history of local elections has there been such an outburst of enthusiasm and excitement manifested as that which characterised the contest at Pentre on Monday last. The day was exceptionally fine, and this counted very materially in the extra- ordinary heavy polling witnessed. No efforts were spared to get the electors to the polling stations—the blind, the halt, we maimed, all being conveyed as ten- derly and with as much dispatch as pos- sible. In one case a man suffering from a broken leg was conveyed to the Ton polling station on a stretcher straight from bed, whilst in several cases voters Were brought from the sick bed. The literature distributed during the day was marvellous. Colliers going to their employment in the morning rubbed their eyes at seeing huge, glaring posters associating the name of Canon Lewis with that of the Right Hon. D. Lloyd George. In smaller type appeared extracts of Reports of meetings held by Mr. Lloyd George at Treherbert and Tonypandy in 1902 wherein the religious syllabus in use the Rhondda schools, as drafted by ^anon Lewis," was highly commended. George was also stated to have made flattering reference at Tonypandy to the Canon's services to education. People gazed at the bills in amazement, and then ft dawned upon them that the Canon had ft deed reserved his best shots for the last of the contest. It was a smart piece w work on the Canon's part, and he deserves all the consolation that may be from it. The effect on the other Slde was stupefying. It was a bolt from the blue, and after the position had been Considered for some time, steps were taken to allay the mischief that was threatened. A happy thought struck the committee; it was resolved to send a tele- gram to Mr. Lloyd George. The telegram ^as worded as follows:—Election here to-day. The issue clear between a Non- conformist and Liberal and a Churchman •and Tory. Your name is used as com- j^nding the Tory, Canon Lewis. Do you avour Canon Lewis against Walter Wil- ^ms, the Liberal and Nonconformist? j t the same time a search of the "Rhondda eader" files was resorted to to verify j,r contradict the flattering allusion by the j^ght Hon. Member to Canon Lewis in ?l,s Tonypandy speech. The issue com- muting the speech was found, and joy spread over the committee's faces when it found that a verbatim report of the peech contained no reference at all to e Canon! This new-found joy was soon p be augmented by the reply of Mr. Lloyd in these words:—" Suggestion too Tvf^'d. to contradict.—-Lloyd Georgje." in »r- 3°y was complete, and the printing r^hines of the Caxton Press, Treorchy, bin 6 80011 dispatching thousands of hand- a containing Mr. George's reply, and oth ^u°tation from the "Leader." An- handbill was also brought out oon- the Canon's claim to the drafting Sain 6 religious syllabus, and adding the au+u °* ^r- Morris, Treorchy, as part- ^tnor. Then the fight waged again in thl > and the Liberal organisers viewed issue with complacency. thft ^ta-hle feature of the day's fight was • taken by children. Bands of sWt' n1 the cards of either parties sjtaW .ov?r their bodies, paraded the .^BEing immortal" dittiea with n*«»termg» reference* to eithmr o*ndi- date, and free fights were common when the various sections met. At Ton a band of young enthusiastic Williamites met Canon Lewis, and a sudden hush pervaded their ranks. When, however, those in front had passed the rev. gentleman, one derring-do ventured a boo," and the whole lot commenced booing and hooting the Canon. The scenes outside the Council Offices were. the most animated ever witnessed. It is stated by those who remember, that never did enthusiasm and excitement run so high since the day when Mabon won his first victory over Mr. F. L. Davis. The crowd numbered hundreds, and completely blocked all traffic for some hours. The first result declared was that of the Pentre contest, and as Mr. W. P. Nicholas declared the figures, a tremendous shout went up. Mr. Walter Williams, the suc- cessful candidate, who was in a neighbour- ing house, was immediately apprised of his victory, and he was brought forth like a, lion from his lair. After a short speech and a vote of thanks to the returning officer, Mr. Williams was carried shoulder nigh to his residence, where, in response to repeated cries for speech, the success- ful candidate again referred to his great victory, adding: The Canon has been silenced (applause). Soon after, fire- works were let off, and the plaudits of triumph rent the air. A rather amusing incident was that the belfry of St. Peter's Church was lit, and everything ready to proclaim the Canon's victory—which never came off! The excitement cooled down somewhat after this, the only great cheer being raised when Mr. W. P. Thomas' stupen- dous majority was announced. In the Ystrad Ward, it was generally understood that Mr. Morris was desirous of withdrawing from an active fight, and this might have accounted for the small number of votes recorded in his favour. It was generally anticipated that Alder- man Wm. Morgan would be unsuccessful in this campaign. His advanced age and the fact that he wanted to retain the three seats were against him, and the result is a glowing comment on the situation. A remarkable fact in connection with I.e election was the heavy poll recorded. At Pentre 1,700 votes were registered out of a possible 1,800. Over 2,000 voted at Treorchy, whilst at the Guardians Elec- tion in the Tonypandy division of No. 6 Ward, 574 votes were recorded out of 650. When the news was received in Tre- orchy that Mr. W. P. Thomas was the successful candidate for the No. 2 Ward, and more especially with a thumping majority, great excitement prevailed, and Mr. Thomas was carried shoulder high by his supporters towards Cwmparc, headed by a torchlight procession and the Cwmparo Silver Band, who played along the route See, the Conquering Hero Comes." Mr. Thomas delivered several speeches on the way and thanked the people of Treorchy and Cwmparc for the able manner in which they had supported him. On the return journey the trap belonging to Mr. J. Higgon, Park Hotel, awaited Mr. Thomas, and the horse taken out, and W. P." was driven back to Treorchy and taken round the remaining part of the Ward. When the procession arrived at the candidate's residence, speeches were delivered by Messrs. Benj. Edwards,, Cwmparc, and John Samuel, mining instructor, and a final word of thanks fcy Mr. Thomas.
Guardians Election.
Guardians Election. Oteprosentatlon Almost Unchanged. Polling in connection with the Ponty- pridd and Rhondda Board of Guardians took place on Monday, in ideal weather. There were only five contests in the Rhondda, particulars of which will be found below. The polling in each Ward was exceptionally heavy, and the repre- sentation remains almost unchanged. Alderman Wm. Morgan has lost the seat which he has occupied for a number of years. Indeed, Monday was a black day in the history of Tynewydd. Mr. Eveleigh, who has captured one of the two seats, is a working man of high intelli- gence, whilst Mr. Jeffries has maintained the confidence of the electors in the heavy number of votes recorded in his favour. The representation of Ward No. 2 remains unchanged, the people having declared in favour of the two old Guar- dians in an unmistakable manner. Mrs. Davies polled well, and, to be candid, it was thought that the second, if not the first, place would be hers. The Liwynypia and Clydach Yale Ward has also stood by its old representatives, Mr. J. W. Richards heading the poll by a narrow majority. In the Tonypandy and Trealaw Ward, Mrs. Morgan scored heavily over her oppo- nents, Mr. Jenkins, Dinas, coming in second. The surprising thing about both No. 5 and No. 6 Wards is that the Labour candidates have been completely smothered, and Tonypandy finds itself in the unhapoy position of having not a single representative on this important body. Ward No. 10 has also remained un- changed in its representation, Mrs. Davies, of the Salisbury Hotel, and Mr. David Edwards, Mardy, having retained their seats with comfortable majorities. Results: NO. 1 WARD. *Wm. Jeffreys 1086 Wm. Eveleigh 653 Non-elected. *Wm. Morgan 482 NO. 2 WARD. *Roderick Morgan 944 *John Higgon 928 Non-elected. Winifred Davies 860 Thomas Jones 325 NO. 5 WARD.

.Election Sparks.
Election Sparks. Who signed the Magna Charta? was one question asked of Mr. Walter Wil- liams at Ton-Pentre on Saturday night. The Canon has been silenced," re- marked the successful candidate on Mon- day evening. And the Church bells forgot to toll the sad news! -+--+- A card containing the following words was posted in a shop window on Saturday at Pentre: Don't forget our dear Canon it may bo your last opportunity." Shame on the electors for neglecting this opportunity. -+--+- Mr. Wm. Williams, draper, Treherbert, bears a striking resemblance to his bro- ther, the successful opponent of Canon Lewis. He was proceeding to Treherbert in a brake on Monday night after- the declaration of the poll, when some enthu- siasts, mistaking him for his brother Walter, demanded a speech. He smiled and passed on. -+--+- A crowd of anxious enthusiasts watched the results of the elections as they were posted outside these offices on Monday night and Tuesday morning. -+--+- In one of his meetings, Canon Lewis declared that the Nonconformist teachers emploved by the Rhondda Education Com- mittee had absented themselves from school on more occasions than the Church of England teachers. Dr. Thomas has announced his willingness to subscribe E5 to the Porth Cottage Hospital if the rev. gentleman can prove this charge.

East, West, Home's Best. Tonypandy News Again. No other news is so interesting as home news, and how gladly we welcome it when it is good news. Such is the news we print again and again in our columns from Tonypandy men and women, who having come, by good fortune themselves are eager to share it with their neighbours. Since using Doan's Backache Kidney Pills I have been quite a different woman. and have not had a sign of backache," says Mrs. F. E. Jones, 139, Dunraven Street, Tonypandy. Sharp, cutting pain in the back had been my trouble, and I suffered for years. My joints were so stiff that I found it hard to get upright after bending. I used to feel tired and languid in the mornings. I commenced to take Doan's Backache Kidney Pills a short time ago, and I am glad to say they soon put me right. The pills made my back strong and well, and made me feel better in every way. When- ever I get an opportunity I shall recom- mend Doan's Pills. (Signed) F. E. Jones." No one can be healthy whose kidneys are not healthy. The kidneys filter the impurities and poisons from the blood. The health of the whole body depends on them. Diseased or weak kidneys are the cause of many of the most dangerous diseases, such as dropsy, Bright's disease, gravel, stone, urinary troubles, rheu- matism, lumbago, sciatica. These symp- toms are warnings of serious trouble to come if they are neglected, but are relieved and cured by Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings < ld ninepence). Of all chemists and stoics, or post free, direct from Foster-McCleiUai Co., 8, Wells Street, Oxford Street, Lon- don, W. Mrs. Jones was cured by Doan's; be sure that you get Doan's. 2810r
Biosccpic Lecture at Ton.
Biosccpic Lecture at Ton. A most instructive and interesting lec- ture was delivered last Wednesday evening at the Workmen's Hall under the auspill(s of the Rhondda Naturalists Society by Air. F. Ormiston Smith, a, member of the Swi: s Alpine dub, entitled" Mountaineering: Its Pleasures, Dangers and Difficulties," illustrated by a powerful bioscope. The lecturer gave details of the methods of and reasons for mountaineering, including an interesting description of a climber's equipment. An ascent of Mont Blanc and a night in a club hut on the summits of the Jungfrau and Zermatt Mr. Smith declared to be one of the feats of moun- tain climbers. The first ascent of the Matterhorn, a vivid description of a ride on the Gorner Grat Railway, and the ascent of Europe's grandest, mountain brought cheers from the audience. The speaker dealt at length with avalanches, snow cornices, snow passes, and the ice fall of the Fnisterargoch; their destruc- tiveness in preventing exploring work being done. A great deal of laughter was created when the lecturer pictured a party of novices climbing a difficult rock. A description of Grundelwald and its skating concluded a very interesting lecture.. Mr. W. P. Nicholas made an able chairman.
