LEGS \VORN OUT BY DISEASE. ULCERS STARTING FROM SMALL SORE CURED BY ZAM-BUIv. Constant standing weakens the legs and fre- quently brings on ulcers, varicose veins, etc., which are tho more difficult to cure if the whole limb is in a weakened condition. How wonder- fully beneficial Zam-Buk is in Mich cases is shown in the experience of Mrs Emma Mas- ters, of 12, Union-street, Smethwick, Birming- ham. "I am 62 years of age," Mrs Masters told a "Bjrminham Echo" reporter. "Shortiy after my husband's death, twelve years ago, a siight crark appeared on ini, foot, just below the ankle bone, which caused me great pain. "The doctor, after examination, said it was due to extreme weakness, and I was on my legs too much. lie gave me ointment and medi- cine, and tol<i me 1 was to give mv legs as much rest as possible. As far as I could I obeyed his instructions, but the wound grew larger and larger. The wound was always d I schare- ing. and the surrounding flesh zvas i n- flamed and very painful "My daughter persuaded me to consult a lady doctor, who told me my legs were absolutely worn out. I had been suffering then for three years, and for another seven years I went on enduring agonies, trying all kinds of lotions and ointments without success. "A short time ago a friend visited me and prevailed upon me to try Zam-Buk. After dressing the wound a few times with the balm I felt relief from the pain. Zam- Hub was cooling and soothing, and with each dressing my ankle got stronger and stronger. The wound gradually got less m size, the inflammation died away, and the discharge ceased■ Con- L stant applications of Zam-Buk at length com- -• pletely healed the wound and covered the plaoe with new healthy skin. 'My leg is now stronger than it has been for years, and since Zam-Buk cured the ulcer there has not been the slightest sign of another out- break."

RHYL URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. THE PAVILION AND GARDENS DISCUSSED: A SATISFACTORY SEASON. PROPOSED TRAMWAY FOR RHYL, FEW WELSH BOOKS ISSUED FROM THE LIBRARY. The monthly melting of tle Rhyl Council was held on Aloud ay. Mr G, A. Taverner, J.P. (chairman) prefi.kd, and Mr A. Rhya- wtal Jon-en (vice<'hair;nan) occupied the vice- chair. was also present: —Mess»s H. A. Tilby, T. W hi licy, E. B. Jones, E. Waiiis, H. L. Clews, J. W. Jones, J. H. Ellis, S. Perks, E. D. Evans, Edmund Hughe', A. D. Hill, Llew. B. Evans, 1. Batho, Dr. Hughe-,s Jone>s, l)r, A. Kyton Ll- yd (Medical Officer o £ Health), Mr F. J. Bayiits (Deputy Clerk), Messrs L. G. Hall (Gas and Water 'Engineer), ,.A,. A. Gcodali (Surveyor), E. R. Wright (Electrical Engineer), and Robert Lowe i:)a.¡:1itary Inspector). THE ILLNESS OF THE CLERK. At tho opening of the mee ing, tho Chair- ma.n referred to tile illness of Mr A. Rowlands (tho Clork) and said he was sure ev-c,ry member of tho Council voald Empathise with Mr Rowlands, whose abjcnce the.y regretted. They were pleased to learn tkac he was r?- coverin^ and while sympathising wi'.h him in his illness they hoped he would be speedily restored to healtii (hear hear). He proposed that a menage of sympathy b; sent ito Mr Rowlands. Mr A. L. Clew. seconded, and it, was carried. THE CONDITION OF THE WEST PARADE AND MARINE LAKE, Mr A. D. Hill raised uhe question as to why the Parade l<Kld was left in its present state. He submitted that it, was no'- tor tli-e want oi money, but there appeared be a lack of supervision. He characterised the atate. of the road (1,; "disg-aceful" and h pect that t'teps would be taken to put it, in order, Ind at the a.rio time he oomeud-d that nlali proper supervision been cjcerc^eod in the tilling in of wic, trenches before -h- asphalt had been 'aid there would not be the depitf- sions which s-t present were dangerous to pedestrians as well as to vehicle^. He did n", ithink iJ ahould be r.ec's avy to call attention to t-uch matters in open Council if there was super- vision. Then again, as to the Marine Lake, he had to point out that he had seen from 15 to 20 loads <;f rubbish cart d there, and .the way in which it was deposited was by no means eoonomi/il; i" woala have to be carted away, or would decay and b? a nuisance. Mr Perks uaid ho noticed they had decided to order new sections of raumga for tlvv Marine Lake. Why was that necessary ? The Surveyor replied that he was ateading to the depressions referred !to by Mr II jU, and as regards the Marine L"ke lie had. had instructions to fill up the vacant place.' abound the side, the rubbish Mr Hill referred td being used for that purpose. It was true tha/j Ùl{)' wero ordering n-w sections of the railing a as the existing ones in P,"Its wele beyond repairs. As rega-ds tho expenditure on the lake the heavier amounts would now bf spent, as much required b-ing done. Mr Perks said he agreed, with Al r Hill, and would point out, that, the Marine Lake rail- ings was another instance of the lack of super- vision. The railings had been so neglected that It was no.v actually necessary to replace (the old ones with new, as they had per-siked for the want of paint. 6'1 REET v. Ui!K;s AND THE UNi. MPL01ED. Thu Read Coniniitiej reported that they proposed to give uo-ic4,, ucwer the Pnva-te Suvet Works Act tor th" making up of a leug-thy Iit of back roacts, parages, etc. Mr Evans asked why it was that Mona Bach was not included in the list. The Surveyor r pired tht-t the work there .was being proceeded willi. Questioned as to w'hy ether work wa:, not being included in the li t, Mr Ellis (chair- man of tho Road Committee) said they thoutj.it the list prepared was big enougn, and the Surveyor said it would take two v.mieis to carry it through. They were giving :in- lalodilul,o aottenlion to the places iequip jg iL. ko that Itht>: unemployed would ho-ve somUnvJS to do. They intended asking ior tenders iu | some instances so tilat the work could be divider among tdvo local coatraLtcr,\ Mr Baitiio hoped they did not want the work spread ever two years. Was it not possible to let all the work by tender a::d get it done, 00 that a larger body Dj men could liavil employment. Mr Whitley advocated the letting of the work by tender. He Relieved that. it would be done cheaper a^d mo'e quickly. ( It was understood that as much cf the work us possible would he done by tender. THE ROAD COMMITTEE CRITICISED The Vice-chairman referred to a proposal by the Road Comniituitee that they should have steam from the gas works for the g"'Pniiou^o free of charge, whereas tihe Gas Oom'.ml'tee wanted E5 for it. Mr Perks said it was not. fair that they should saddle one. committee wAh the expense of providing another committee with some- thing tor which they would have to p iy under ordinary oondi'-ions. It naturally toliowed that. the Gau Engineer wanted, to make his department pay as well as h:) c-oul-ci, and see- ing that it. would cost something to produce the st<'ain for the greenhouse they slioull not givo iij to the Road Committee for lKtliing. Mr EUis replied tt-hey seemed to forget that the. ad. Committee lva,3 providing flowers arva plants for h:o town, and lai.fc- year, through not having steam, 'they had fca speiKl somothing Like mo or B40 more on plants than would othcrwi, have b'en the cc;se. Even to Mr Perks, he thought 'he argument a: saving: £30 a year in return for a little stoam would appeal. Mr Hill argued that each department should pay ior what ift liad from ol.hfr departments. It was true thao the Road 'Gommittce seamed to muddle through each year, but they did so by saddling other departments with expenses which wero rigle-Jy their own. It was decided to charge LS per annum to the Road Committee for the steani. THE WATER TOWER. It had been recommended tllzu-, th? Cm.ncil accepted the tender of a Liverpool firm for a water tower at Pen-y-Cefndy provide they weic satisfied wit h the design att"r certain members had in peeted a tower alivudy erected in a no tilicr place by the firm. Mr E. B. Joiics said tJLy should more fully discuss the matter, and moved thai ):,1,0 question be rekTi-d to the Council in committee. Mr Tiiby seoonde-d. A discu->sion arese as to wh'thcT in cOm- mi' tee tho members would be able to debate* the matter as to whether a 'tower should be erected or nut. Several members argued that the principle had already been decided upon, but wkh tIlLA Mr J. H. Ellis disagreed, and said that if they would not listen to what he had to say he would keep Lh m there for hours. They were like :iho pelican i" the wilderness which hid its head in tihe an.d and imagined that it c.ould not see that others could not see it (laughter). Mr Clews: You mean the osfcrich (loud taughter). Mr Ellis: It is all the same (more laughter). Mr Llew B. Evan-i pointed out that the matter had been decided, whereupon Mr EMis reminded Mj Evans that he was not then at t«ho$t. Asaph Council (laughte'). Mr Edmund Hughes said he knew what he was ,talking about; it had been decided. He said 60 as chairman of the Water Committee. ( Mr Ellis And I do not think anything more of you for that (laughter). Mr Hughes poin-ted Out that in the minutes his name wais omitted from tihe list of those present, yet hs was crcdiced with having pr0T)0;;f\d certain matters. Mr Tilby You werj there pcr'iaps in spirit without a body (laughV:x). It was decided to ref"T tho -,vhole matter to the Ccouicil in commit), oe, THE COST OF ELECTRIC CURRENT. The Vice-Chairman raided tho question as to the charge for electricity for the Pavilion and Gardens, and contended that it was not fail- to charge one department of the Council for current at a higher price than they charged tho Palace Company, which was a private affair. He considered that if they could sup- ply current to the Talace at, 3d or 3.d psr unit, they had no right to charge the public 4d for street and gardens lighting. Mr FriniL'ton said they had a sliding scale for tho Palace, a.nd the more current consumeel the cheaper it was supplied. He did rot think they should upse tho arrangement now. Mr Hughes considered that one department should meet the other, and Mr Tilby suggested that they should meet and decide what tho charge for each depart- ment should be. Mr J. W. Jonca said it was folly to charge too much so as to show a profit on their trad- ing concerns, as they had to pay inoomo tax: on their profits. They should charge the gar- dens what, the electricity cost. Mr Tilby: Then you would charge them more than aS present. Mr L'ew. D. Evans: And we do not pay inoomo tax On losses. The Vice-chairman said he would be satis- fied if the chargo was made 3d per unit. In any case he moved that the bill bo not paid until they had decided the matter. It was decided that for tho present year the charges as fixed for current must stand, but that before the next financial year a meeting be held to consider the P:1C(I for each depart- ment for gas and electricity THE WORKING OF THE PAVILION: PROTESTS BY COUNCILLORS. When the minutes of the Pavilion and Gar- den Committee came before the Council, Mr Hill said that notwithstanding the fact tha.t the Council passed a. resolution that. they would have a grand concert on September 14th, and had decided on two occasions that they would not givo Mr De Jong a benefit, they had per- mitbed a committee to over-ride that, and had allowed the posters for Mr Do Jong's benefit to be issued, and at arrangements made, prior to tho Council giving permission for tho bene- fit. Ha protested most strongly against Lny committeo anticipating the dccihicns of that Council. The Chairman eaid they had already dicusjsed the question of the 'ben-cfit" in. tho Council, and ho did not see that any useful purpose would be served by re-opening the mattor ikkv Mr Hill said he meant to protect again and again until matters were altered. If they had given a "benefit" to the members of tho band as well as to Mr De Jong, it would havo oeen a different matter, but after they had decided that they would jjot give Mr De Jong a 'bene- fit" the committeo actually weiii out of their way to alter matters, and tho posters were printed, all arrangement made, and every- thing cut and dried long before tho Council were called together to confirm the matter. It was all very well for Mr De Jong to have a "benefit" on September 14th, when that day had been p-oinitod to the pubiij for a grand concert, and not only were the season ticket holders debarred from attending that concert without paying, but tho reminder of that w()k spoi'ed for the town, as there was a very poor attendance after that night. Mr E. D. Evans agreed with l\L' Hill, and protested against anyone presuming to take tho powers of that Council out of their hands. It was presumption for anyone to have peelers printed and posted in Prestatyn announcing a "benefit" on the morning before the Council meet to settle the matter. The Vice-Chairman deprecated them continual attacks on Mf De Jong1, who had worked so hard for them. It seemed as if they wanted to sap the energy out of everyone who tried to do something for the town. Mr Do Jong had conducted tho concerts for tho benefit of the town, and had given them of his beet, but these continuous irritations would do no good. Mr Clews thought the whole matter had been sett'ed long ago. They had discover! that they could not fit in a grand concert on Sep- tember 14th.. and Mr De Jong had his "bene- fit" that dav. Mr Evans said he did not object to Mr De Jong having 40 "benefits" if the Council thought fit, but he submitted it v.*as not lght that everything should be anticipated, even to the ordering of the posters and the displaying of thorn, before that Council had had an oppor- tunity of discussing the matter. Mr Hill said he was getting sick and tired of heating Mr De Jong's trumpeters shouting his merits. Surely member of the Council could discuss matters of public interest with- out being told that they were going against Mr Do Jong. 6 ° Dr Hughes Jones said he did not consider it was right for the Vice-Chairman to attack members in tho way he had, as they should all try and discuss public matters, giving fair play to each other without imputing motives. He considered there had been far too much rushing of the "benclt," and ho did not see that Mr De Jong wanted a "benefit" any more than did other officials, all of whom were sup- posed to do their duty for the town, and to give them of their best. If they looked at the accounts they would find that Mr Do Jong was not so much in want of a benefit as per- haps wero members of the band, as he had received B242 for his services during the past season. They should be allowed to disctws matters without being told that they were against Mr De Jong or being "jumped upon" when they got on their feet Mr Ellis replied that the benefit was given because everyono agreed that Mr Do Jong was deserving of some recognition for the extra- ordinary exertions he had put forward. Iu addition to carrying out his duties as con- ductor, lie had a'so attended to the printing and advertising, as well as many other things Ho was pleased to find that the season had turned out so well, and it had been a great success, as they had made ends meet if they considered tho fact that in previous years they had paid P:,150 for a very indifferent, band while this year they had been able to pay their way and advertise the Pavilion and Gar- dens. Tho minutes of tho Pavilion and Gardens Committee were then passed. It was decided to call a special meeting of the General Pur- poses Committee to settle finally the term-; for Mr De Jong's re-engagement, subject to tho approval of the Council. Mr J. W. Jones contended that Mr Do Jong had been definitely engaged, but °■ Mr Tilby replied that nothing had been de- finitely settled. They had to agreo to terms a.nd that should bo doary understood. Mr Waiiis referred to the fact that tho com- mittee had decided, without the approval of the Council, to throw the gardens open during October, but after trying it for a couple of days they had gone back to the old system of charging for admis-sion. That was another instance, lie stid, of the committee taking too much on itself. Mr E'lis said he was glad that tho mistake had been found out, as the gardenu during the two days they were open -wero the rendezvous of all the young roughs, of the town. Since ttic charge of Id had been put on, pepple appre- ciated the gardens—at least the more respec- table class did, and 100 paid for admission on Sunday. Mr Hill suggested that "the respectable and better c.ass should be given the gardens, but that the ordinary ratepayers should have the free use of the sea promenade (laughter). It was repotted by the Surveyor that the work on the gardens had been oomnleted and that he was pressing the contractor to finish the pay boxes; also that the shelters would have to be mado watertight before they were, taken over. The Surveyor said that now tho work was finished a proper etatemeni as to the cost wou'd bo submitted. The General Purposes Committee had con- sidered proposals for next season's band, and suggested the deferring of the appointment of a manager of the Pavilion for the present as weil ae the letting of tho contract for the tea rooms- A discussion arose as to how these minutes should be dealt with, and while .it was agreed that there should bo a special meeting of the Council in committee to thoroughly discuss them, there was a difference of opin.on as to whether there should be power to act given During the discussion it was strongly urged that Mr De Jong wanted to get matters settled so that he oould engage his a-rtistee, where- upon Mr Tilby asked whether it was not pos- sible for tho Council to discuss one subject- without being continually referred to Mr De Jong. It seemed to him that there were mem- bers on that Council who could not buy a ioli of tickets without calling for a eolo from Mr Do Jong on the subject. It was decided to adjourn the consideration of tho minutes until Friday afternoon, when the Council wi'l meet in committee, and to hold a meeting for the confirmation of what is then done on Tuesday next at 6 p.m. PROPOSED TRAMWAY FOR RHYL. A letter was read from the Llandudno -,nd District Tramway and Light Railway Com- pany asking if tho Council would meet their representatives for tho purpose of discussing a scheme of tramways for Rhyl. It was decided to reply that tho Council would meet them at. an early date. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. Tho Surveyor reported having fixed groynes in the East End to prevent erosion, and that during the 42 days ending September 25th, there had been 197 hours 55 minutes of bright sunshine in Rhyl. THE LIBRARY AND WELSH BOOKS. It was reported that out of 2456 books is- sued from the Library only three were Welsh, and a question arose ae to whether there were sufficient Welsh books for the public. Mr Clew rep'ied that every Welsh book suggested in the recommendation book had been purchased, and tho committee had had the services of some of the best Weic-h scholars in Rhyl in selecting the books. Mr J. W. Jones said it followed that in a town where five out of every six Welshmen read English books that the demand for We!sh ■books would not bo great Out of the 1957 Englit-h works of fiction many .would bo taken out by Welsh people, as there were few fiction books in the Welsh language.

PRIZE DAY AT PENRHOS COLLEGE. THE PRINCIPAL'S APPEAL. TO MOTHERS. BUILDINGS STILL INADEQUATE TO MEET DEMANDS. LADY WAKEFIELD DISTRIBUTES THE PRIZES. "Prize day" at the Penrhos College has de- veloped into a fashionable and popular feature of the year's events at Colwyn Bay. This year's proceedings, which took place on Saturday, were more largely attended than any previously held and at the present rate of progress the assembly will soon have outgrown the accommodation of any single room in the buildings. Mr C. W. Ashcroft, president of the College Council, presided, and he was accompanied on the platform by the Principal (Miss Hovcy, B.A.), Sir C. C. and Lady Wakefield (of Lon- don), the Rev. F. J. Briggs, Mr W. Oulton, and Mr I. Mack. As soon. as the opening hymn and prayer were over, Muriel McKeag, on behalf of the College, presented Lady Wakefield (who attended to give away the prizes) with a beautiful bouquet. The violin cla- then performed Moret's "Pe- tite Symphonic," the senior singing class follow- ing with Elgar's two-part song "The dance." THE PRINCIPAL'S REPORT. The Principal, who was cordially received, in presenting her report, stated they had never had so small a fifth or sixth form as last year, which was a strange fact, perhaps, seeing that tho number of pupils in the school had never been so large (applause). For some time past, however, they had had a larger number of the smaller girls coming into the school—a fact which gave them hope for the future—and that chiefly accounted for the weakness of the top forms. It naturally followed that, as there were fewer scholars in the senior forms, fewer certificates had been gained in examinations outside the school during the year. Since the previous "prize day," however, they had presented three pupils for matriculation examinations, and all three had passed—two in the London matricula- tion and one in that of Birmingham (hear, hear). Tka musical results were better than ever (ap- plause). They had had no failures in examina- tions, and yet a larger number of pupils had entered than at any other period (hear, hear). In the Royal Drawing Society's examinations, 97 certificates had been obtained--44 "honours" and 53 "passes" (hear, hear). The speaker expressed her acknowledgments to the staff for the excel- lent, thorough, and skilfol work which they had performed during the year, and sa-d she was glad to report that all the teachers remained 'n with them. They had had one now mistress- Miss Stephenson—appointed during the year on account of increased work in the school. As re- gards the number in tho school, their only diffi- culty was to find accommodation for all those who sought entrance (applause). She had to con- fess to using the College observatory as a bed- room during that term, because they had so many pupils (laughter and cheers). Perhaps that fact could be accounted for by the other fact that the observatory was still waiting the gift of a telescope by some kind friend interested in the school. The health of the school had also been satisfactory. In that connection they had enormous advantages in being situated at Colwyn Bay, where there was an abundance of fresh air around them (applause). NOT THE FAULT OF TEACHERS. Proceeding, Miss Hovey stated that among the innovations which were found to be of both physical and educational advantage to the pupils was the ten minutes' walk on the promenade every morning before breakfast. The girls were taught to knit and to make blouses. She was surprised to read that one of the members of the Manchester City Council had been complain- ing that we ought to be dono with the abomim able system of cramming, and that if we did it our children would be more healthy, and would not lose that taste for books which at present they did lose owing to their teaching at school. If that was a correct indictment against the schools, it could not be the fault of the teachers, but of the educational system. But it made the teachers feel a bit hopeless sometimes when they found that this was the opinion held of them in the outside world. From what she had heard and read in the past year, it seemed to her that teachers were always trying to take a wider out- look. She attended this year the Conference of the Headmistresses' Association at Manchester, and three things there attracted the most at* tention and aroused (he most enthusiasm. One was domestic training, the mistresses in large schools especially finding that there were a num-i ber of girls who could not learn and would never learn unless they were taught at school the domestic arts, and so cookery and ether house- hold arts were introduced. But the headmis- tresses strongly recommended the combination of household training with school training. An- other point upon which they laid stress was reli- pious teaching, and especially the teaching of the Bible. The third was votes for women (laugh-' ter). The widow of one of the English admirals had recently sent her a copy of a circular belong- ing to a Japanese school, describing its educa- tional principles. The first was to lay firm foun- dations for character, the second was to enable the pupils to understand and acquire common- sense-(laughter),-and to apply the knowledge gained at school in real life, and the third was growth in physical strength (applause). These were ideali to set before schools in this country too. Seeing how much was expected of teach- ers in these days, she wished to make a special appeal to the parents, to the mothers more par- ticularly, to help all they could. Success, where it was achieved in education, lay first and fore- most in the treatment of and in the influence c over the individual girl. The Moral Education Congress reminded them that it was not enough to let the children grow up and feel sure'.all would be well with them. Much good would be done even by one definite talk about the im- portant principles and facts and customs of every- day life., Let every, mother have a quiet" talk with her girl before she went away to school, and when she came home again too (applause).

A NEW PRINCIPLE IN MEDICINE. The Direct Treatment of Throat and Chest Troubles. Uselessness of Liquid Cough Mixtures. The crying need for a new principle in medi- cine for throat and chest troubles was indicated both by tho ali-too-obyaous useless mess of < rdi- nary medicines taken into the stomach, and by the physiological impossibility of intr^tiu liu. liquid medicines into the throat and lungs. 'That need has at last been fully satisfi d by tho inlroduotion of Pops, a breathe-allr ILC i- cines in handy tablet form, which has already ac/aicved world-wide f0.11 e as a sterling renicdi,- ior all ailments of the breathing organs. s In order to comprehend the reason why liquid medicine's and equally the liquid solution of ordinary cough lozengpes, are so useless and dangerous a method of (Treatment for threat and' chest troubles, it is necessary to understand that the throat is so constructed that no thin £ can be swallowed into the breathing Massacres- The very act of s.vallow.'n? a ie- matioally clocsew the wind-pipe, and prevents the entrance of eititer liquids or solids. But PePs are designed on lines both novel and natural■ The}' provide a potent m di irsal agent, of the highest ren-iedlal importance w.i h can be breathed direct mto the throat and lungs- By this unique and novel me hod not oily al e an. ailments and weaknesses of t':e breathing ()!rg'a.n' soothed, relieved, and perman- ently cured in a lashion which seems a'm s miraculous when contrasted with o'd-tim? methods of treatment; but the ri.ks of vitiating the blood, upsetting the digestion, b numbing the nerv-s and brain, and wcajcening) the hea.: t by taking drowsy narcotics and sedatives in o the stomach are all avoided by the na.urai Peps breathing tiet,nient. Peps have soi simplified the direct treatrn nt. of throat, and chest troubles that ordinary o ugh ■ and colds are banished in a few 'hours, and ev n the most obstina o and stubborn chroni <he t and throat troubks, such as chronic b on ii asthma, laryngitis, old-age 0 tig 1,3, whozines;. loss of voice, and other ailments where the v ry structure of the bronchial tubr^ and langs is weakened, clogged, obstructed, thickened, and debased by long-continued illness, are grad ally but surely relieved and finally banished ato- gether. Yet Peps are so free from all objectionable features suoh as the laudanum', chloral, m r; ha, and other deadly drugs and narcotics so com- monly found in ordinary cou? h-mixtur 8 and lung remedies, and the irritating month I, ou,bebs, eucalyptus, and the digestion-destro ing fish oil3 and extracts used in common emulsions and lozenges, tliat Peps can be regularly u;ed by old or young, and bv the frailest invaVd.
