Gentlemen,-It is with great pleasure that I write to tell you of the benefit my wife has de- rived from taking Clarke's Blood Mixture. Her leg was very bad for over four years, and after trying several kinds of medicine with no result whatever, she went to the local hospital for eleven weeks, and was discharged as incurable. It was then that she tried Clarke's Blood Mix- ture, and after taking the first bottle the pain was eased wonderfn fly. She continued With it, and when she had taken seven small bottles was completely cured. She has been cored over a year now, and follows her laundrywork as well as ever.

Llwynypia.
Llwynypia. On Friday last, at the Workmen's Insti- tute, Mr. R. J. Rhys (coroner) held an inquiry into the death of John Evans, a married collier, of Trealaw. Mr. Trump was present on behalf of the Home Office, and Mr. Tom Evans (manager) watched the proceedings for the Glamorgan Coal Company. The evidence was that on June 25th deceased was working at the No. 1 Pit, Glamorgan Collieries. He stood on a tram to put in a pair of timbers, and whilst in the act of doing so, stones and timber fell, and he received such injuries that he was unable to follow his employ- ment, although he walked home after the accident. Dr. McCaughey attended him, and by July 6th he was able to walk out. lie went out again on the following day, but was then taken ill, and complained of weakness, dying on Tuesday, the 6th inst. Dr. McCaughey deposed that he was pre- sent at a post-mortem examination con- ducted by Dr. Mitchell Stephens, the result being that, otherwise organically healthy, it was found that Evans had a diseased kidney. The Coroner, summing- up a somewhat lengthy evidence, stated to the jury that the point for them to decide was whether the man met his death from kidney disease only, or whether it was aggravated and accelerated by the accident. The jury returned a verdict of Acoidental death."

Treorchy.
Treorchy. The final meeting of the recent Treorchy Carnival Committee was held at the Lion Hotel on Friday evening last. In the absence of the chairman, Mr. George Newman, Maesyffrwd, the chair was occu- pied by Mr. Jack Thomas (ironmonger). Tne auditors, Messrs. Harry Morgan and Tom Winter, submitted the financial report of the carnival, which showed that a nrofit of L27 10s. Id. was realised, and the amount was handed to the treasurer of the Treorchy Athletic Field Commit- tee. During the evening, a very interest- ing function took place, when the Chair- man had the pleasure, on behalf of the committee, to present Mr. James Ashley, the secretary, with a handsome meerschaum pipe and a silver matchbox as a small token in recognition of the valuable work that he had done towards aiding the success of the carnival. Mr. Ashley, in responding, said he was ex- tremely gratified to receive the present. His only fear previous to the carnival day was the weather, and he became pleased with himself when he saw that the day had turned out fine, and more particularly when the procession was on its way back to the field and he saw the great crowd there; and if the weather had been fine previous to the carnival day, they would have had more entries. He was also glad of the support given him by the commit- tee. A vote of thanks was accorded the carnival chairman (Mr. Newman), and Mr. Francis, Lion Hotel (treasurer), and all the committee who helped to make the

Ton. We heartily congratulate Mr. T. Davies (Cenech), Ton, upon his bardie success at the eisteddfod held at Lampeter. The subject of the poem was Y Cwmwl," for which a chair and a prize of 93 was offered. The funeral took place on Friday last of the late Mrs. M. Rees, Incline Row. The interment took place at Treorchy Cemetery. The deceased, who had been a member of Jerusalem Chapel, Ton, for 40 years, was well respected in the dis- trict, and many excellent tributes were borne to her upright and Christian char- acter. The Rev. W. Jones, Ton, officiated. The late Master Johnny Williams, Alexandra Road, was buried at Treorchy Cemetery on Saturday last. Many of his schoolmates escorted his body to its last resting place. Universal regret is felt at the sudden death of one so young and promising.

Tonyrefail.
Tonyrefail. In accordance with, a demand made at a recent parish meeting held at Llan- trisant, a poll took place in the Llantrisant parish on Monday last on the question of the advisability of having one central cemetery for the whole parish, or two local cemeteries—one for the Tonyrefail Ward and one for the Town Ward. The votes were counted at Llantrisant on T uesday morning, and 199 votes were recorded for two local cemeteries, and 174 for one central cemetery, giving a majority of 25 for two cemeteries. Out of a total elec- torate of about 2,000, only 376 polled, 3 of which were spoilt votes!! This cer- tainly does not say very much for the interest taken in the question. In Tony- refail alone over 700 votes should have been recorded, whereas only about 170 went to the polls!! And yet this is a, matter of the most extreme urgency for Tonyrefail. It was hoped that by having a heavy poll, from the Tonyrefail Ward especially, the Parish Council would be given some encouragement in their strenuous efforts to provide a burial- ground, which is so pressing a necessity in this district. Now that. the poll has taken place, the Council will do their utmost to press the matter on at their meeting on Wednesday. Mr. E. Ll. B. Reece, coroner, held an inquiry at Tonyrefail on Tuesday into the death of Henry Davies, aged 45, a fitter s labourer, residing with his sister at Waun- rhydd Road, Tonyrefail. According to the evidence given by his sister, Mrs. Geo. Evans, deceased had been suffering of late from his heart. He came to the house on Saturday night last at about 9 o'clock, and in about half-an-hour went upstairs, presumably to bed. In a few minutes his sister heard a crash, and going to the staircase,, found deceased lying on his back at the bottom in an unconscious state. Br. Munro was immediately sent for. The doctor testified that he saw the body soon after the occurrence, and found that deceased had fractured his neck, and had died instantaneously. There is a sharp turn at the top of the stairs, from which point he must have fallen. The jury returned a verdict of Death through dislocation of the neck, caused by acci- dentally falling downstairs." PORTH PALACE. Twice nightly, 6.50 and 9.

Bowen, 3, De Burgh Street, Cardiff, and Miss Sally Lloyd (younger daughter of Mr. T. W. Lloyd, grocer, Court Street, Tonypandy). The ceremony was performed by the Rev.

Her husband is a fireman at No. 2 Pit of the Glamorgan Collieries.

Hoiiday Discomforts. Rough and Scaly Skins, Caused by Change of Air and Water, need Zam-Buk. The pleasure of many a holiday is marred by pain and discomfort from smarting patches of rough and scaly skin, caused by change of air and water. Sea- side air is often too keen for the town- dweller, and the presence of lime or other hardening" properties in the water plays havoc with a tender skin. Wise holiday-makers never leave home without a box of Zam-Buk and a cake of Zam-Buk Medicinal and Toilet Soap in their bag. Washes with Zam-Buk Medi- cinal Soap (which contains the self-same healing properties as Zam-Buk embodied in a, perfectly balanced, uniquely cleansing soap), followed by gentle smearings with Zam-Buk, will restore the softness, clear- ness, and pleasant feel of health to the most troublesome skin. The treatment is delightfully refreshing, health-giving, and disease-defying. Don't forget to put a box of Zam-Buk balm and a cake of Zam-Buk Medicinal and Toilet Soap (a dainty box of three I cakes from your chemist will do far the whole family) in your trunk when packing.

Boy's Fractured Skull.
Boy's Fractured Skull. Pentre Banksman Charged. At Porth on Thursday, David Jones, a banksman employed at the Old Pentre Colliery (Messrs. Cory Bros.), appeared on remand charged with doing grievous bodily harm to a sixteen-year-old Pentre lad named Charles Nay on Bank-Holiday night by striking him on the forehead with a stone, inflicting a wound and frac- turing his skull. Mr. D. W. James, Boi citor, Tonypandy, defended. As already reported, Nay, in company with other lads, was playing at the pit- head at the time of the occurrence, and it is alleged that prisoner threw the stone to frighten them. P.S. James deposed that when arrested Jones, in reply to the charge, said "There was a lot of children. I don't know who threw the stone." Dr. Helsby said when he examined the boy he was in a convulsion, which indi- cated that an operation was immediately necessary. The wound was explored, and it was found that there was a compound fracture of the skull, and a bone pressing on the brain had to be levered to its former position. Questioned by the Stipendiary as to Nay's condition, witness replied that there were no signs of complications at present. Mr. James applied to the Bench to liberate prisoner on bail, stating that he had been employed by the colliery com- pany for 15 years. The magistrates agreed, and fixed the bail at two sureties of zC25 each, and prisoner himself in a sum of R50. Jones was again brought up at Ystrad on Monday and further xemanded on bail for a week, Messrs. C. Edmunds (mana- ger, Pentre Colliery) and John Richards (grocer, Pentre) being accepted as bails.

Topical Tit-Bits for Toilers.
Topical Tit-Bits for Toilers. [By Demoicritus."] A great conference of working class and educational associations was held at Oxford last Saturday. The Bishop of Birmingham presided, and over a, thousand delegates were present. -+-+. Our aim," said the Bishop, is to make the great universities more like natonal institutions, not by excluding the rich, but by the inclusion of the poor." The faith which inspires us," said another speaker, gives us the conviction that our appeal will not be in vain, and that the doors of this historic university will be opened so wide that the sons of toil will pass through as a matter of course in their efforts to reach the higher life." -+--+- Sir Robert Morant, the Permanent Sec- retary of the Board of Education, declared that the Board was keenly interested in the subject of the conference. I have the authority of the Government to say," concluded Sir Robert, that if you can show reasonable cause, financial help will not be withheld. On the contrary, the- Government is prepared to open out on your work a golden stream." -+--+- Mr. George Cadbury, speaking at the International Housing Congress on Satur- day, declared that Garden Cities such as Bourneville and Port Sunlight were doing much to improve the race physically, and that the boys of Bourneville were four inches taller, and measured three inches more round the chest, than the boys of the same age in Birmingham. The death- rate for the last six years in Bourneville had been 7.5 per 1,000, compared with 17.9 per 1,000 in Birmingham, and the infantile mortality of Birmingham was twice that of Bourneville. --+-+- Mi'. John Burns sketched his ideal city to the 400 delegates assembled at the Congress. He would like a city with the gaiety of Paris, the alignment of Ger- many, the comfort of England, the picturesqueness of Venice, the cleanliness of Amsterdam, and the climate of Italy; this, with a thoroughly developed train" way system of 1,000 miles, would make his ideal city. Referring to the urbanisation of the people in every country, and the necessity of regulating that urbanisation, Mr. Burns said that they all had one object. They wished ,the homes to be civilised. They must be spacious. If they were to be clean, they must be larger than at present; and if they were to he inhabited by decent people, it was the duty of the State and the individual to make them more comfortable than the?' were at present. To him home was not only a shelter, it was a nursery for the young, a seminary for the youthful, and a refuge for the aged. It was a roof-trll of character, the founder of domestic virtues, and he believed it was the source of many of the best national qualities. B-e deplored the fact that the home of the unskilled labourer was often a hovel. What should be home was often the abode 0 squalor. It was a noisy rendezvous, P1"*3' voting the senses that found solace in tb0 bright public-houses. -+--+- The opponents of municipal tramway8 will find food for reflection in the figUreS just issued by the Cardiff city treasurl which show a surplus on the tramways for the year of over £ 47,000. Mr. AlIPOrt states in his report: —" The income f^'j the tramway traffic and energy supply to the electric lighting account amouiice to £ 119,115 0s. 3d., and the expendit11' to £ 71,261 9s. 2d., leaving a credit to revenue account of £ 47,853 lis. Id. charges amounting to £ 43,321 19s. were paid on this account during the yea j and the revenue balance was increase from £ 9,271 to £ 10,265, after carry11^ £ 3,411 to the reserve.
