Ringing Statement from LLANSAMLET about OAri S I L L S "Every tells II Story." No better evidence can be had as to the merits of a medicine than the evidence of those who have benefited. On 9th December, 1901, Mr. J. Hopes, of 680, Neath Road, LIansamlet, near Swansea, said I was severely troubled at one time with backache- the pains were like a. knife running through me. My work as a plate-layer means nearly all stooping and I found the pains were particularly bad when J CMne to get upright afterwards. There were urinary troubles as well, t ajid the kidney excretions contained a good deal of sediment. U Doan's backache kidney pills are a splendid remedy for backache and other kidney troubles. The water became clear and natural after I had taken only a- few doses of the pills, and as I con- tinued with them my back became stronger and free of pain. I was soon quite cured of the old troubles. You are quite at liberty to publish my experience with Dean's pills, and I hope it will be the means of bringing relief to other ufferer8. (Signed) J. Hopes." On Hth February, 1913, over eleven years later, Mr. Hopes said :—" Although 1 am 65 years of age I enjoy the best of health. An occasional dose of Dean's pills helps to ward oS any return ol the old trouble." A book giving the Long Life Laws will be sent free on request (see a(Mress befow). Doan's Eackacho Kittney Pills hetp renwvo the poisonous waste left In the blood by weak kidneys, thus renewing backache, dropsy, rheumatism, stone, urinary troubles, nervousness, and other uric acid diseases. Doan's Pills have a tonic, antiseptic and diuretic action on the kidneys and bladdar. jl9 a !'oA', 6 bous 1,']19: of all chemists of from Foster-McClelian Co., 8.

There was a dramatic ending to the re- sumed Inquest at the Shoreditch Ooroner's. ?,ume d it,. q uest at the I?, Ccurt on Thursd&y on little WiUie Stajch- neld, who was found murdered on Jannaxy S m a North Lender trMn. The juTy, .-whc brought in the above verdict, were unani- mously of the opinion that the boy's lather, John Starchneld, should be changed with the wilful murder of his son. and there- upon Chief Inspector Gough, who has been directing the police efforts to elucidate the ]nyat-ery. at once a-rrestpd him. During the inquhy a-nother atai'tUng piece of evidence had been adduoed. There was, indped, a repetition of the scene the previous week; when a woman mMned Mi'B.

White, <L c:ommerci.a.l LiaveIleT, oi New Sont.hgate, who explajn-Nl [hat. he had gone to Camden Town Station () deposit a omall case, yesterday related the. following story :— "Turning round, he saw a ma.n comtBg down the Kentish Town-roa<d entrance to the Ft.<'1.tion. The man was about 40 years age, 5ft. 4in. or 5in. hi height, a;;d of dark ocmplpxion. He h&d a heavy mo'i"- tn/che p.nd broad shculderE. He was drpMcd in a dark overcoat, and was wear ing a dark Trilby hat. He had' what witness called an Italian appearance. He -vas hoMing a little hoy by the band. The boy was about 3ft. 6in. high, and was slightly built.. He was an at u'activc boy, but 'witness did not notice hi.? haJ! T}M boy ha.d rather tight-ntting clot. The man jcft the boy st.anding- in the booking-ha.n, and the man ceme to the booking-omce window. The boy went, towards the barrier, and the man called out, Come you hpre." He later re- cognised the boy when he ha-d got ticket. A DRAMATIC DIALOGUE. The witneM mentioned that he saw the pictures in papers, and he 'M under tha impression thot the photo- graphs of thp father of the boy resembled the man he had s,-P-n. -He had dibous"d the case with Mrs. Powell, at the same ad- dress. who at first told him not to get mixed up with the afhr, and he decided to wait for a few daya. Then followed this dramatic diaJoguo between the foreman of the jury and the witness — The Foreman Are you quite stire the ma.n you saw was wearing a Trilby hat? The Witness Yes, s ir. The Foreman D'd you recognise the man you saw ? The Witness Yes, sir. The Foreman Where? The Witness J recognised him outffid e Shoreditch Church. The Foreman Conid you identify him now ? Tha Witness Yes, sir. The witness was told to look round the court and point him out. Ca-refuUy he scanned the faoM of those around him, and then, pointing to Starchfield, exclaimed. THAT IS THE GENTLEMAN instantly 8tarchfield was on his feet. It's a lie, a d- lie," he shouted. A man named Barry, one of Starchfield's feilow-lodgers, who was sitting by his side, repea-ted, So it is a lie," and added, It must be his double." Then the foreman turned once more to the witnoofl. Do yon recognise thq voice?"—The wit- n&s8 said he did. Was the boy going willingly with him?— Most affably. They were both going affably together. You foel quite positive !ha.t that was the ma.n?—Yes. RECOGNISED BOY'S! PHOTOGRAPH. A pnotograpn. of Willie St&TcbneId, taken at the Shorcditch Infirmary after death, was handed to the witness, who, after gazing at it for a few seconds, said, "That is the kind of boy I saw Mr. Starchfield with. Previous to thL; other evidence had been taken. It will .be recaUed that at the previous hearing Mrs. Wood produced a cake as simitar to one which, she eaid, she eaw the boy eating In Kentish Town-roa J. Dr. B. H. Spilabury now stated that thf iood which he found in the boy's stomach ntlght have consisted of such a cake a.s th: purchased by Mrs. Wood. The man Barry, who was recalled, std.t"d that he did not go out of the lodging-house until three o'clock on the afternoon of t.ti° fatal day, and StarchHeid had not come downstairs then. Thereupon Mrs. Starch- S&Jd re-entered th& witness-box, and said that she saw Barry in Rupert-street on the day in question, between 12.50 and one. In his summing up, the Coroner said there was no eyinelK against any. one person, nnleaa it was the father. The ques- tion for the jury's ''onmdern.tion wa.ft, Was th€e suOicicnt evidence that he could have k'Ued the boy? The jury deliberated for ilfty-six minutes, und then brought in their VERDICT OF WIT..FTL -NtrRDER I against the father. When she heard their I deci&ion MM. St.archfield buried her face in I her hands, ebbing piteoush-. A big crowd had assembled outside the court, a,nd a. large body of police wa& re- quired to door the streets.

At the Old-street (London) Police Court j on Friday, John Starchheld was charged with the murder of his son, Willie StarcMeId, who&e bodv waa found in a compartment in a North London Railway train. The court was crowded, but Mrs. Starch- neld was not present. The prisoner, though pale, appeared to he quite calm, and walked steadily into the Jock. Chief Inspector Qough stated that as a Roao Llewellyn, London (niece), and Mr. W. Davies, Morriston (nephew). result oi the vei-dicc of the coroner's jury, a. warrant had been i&sued for accuaed's ar- ivst, and he proposed jnerely to give evi- dence on behalf of the Public Prosecutor of arresting prisoner and to nsk for a remand. On the 8th Jajmajy witnees aaid lie ftaw the dead body of WiLiant StMchneId, aged fi n, at Shoreditoh Mortuary. Death had evidently occurre<-i from atrangulation.

There are. however, two great duties to be performed, one mixing with the communistic side of life —the business aide of life. And the other —which is equally important—oornirea io, 'mt is not connned to, the immedia-te domea- tic circle, embraang the ca<re of the indi- V':dua.l from the cradle to the grave. (Heaj*, hear.)

Misa FoxJey said they were able to draw attention to the neoclff of the individual and the community. (Hear. he&r.') With some amount of force Miss Foxley s¡.x>ke of the rapid economic changes in the needs of the community, and it was the that the vote would prove of advantage to the women in the future. It wae idle to t :Jk of a man's world and a woman's world. They met together in the home and outside and the TesponsibiMy of tha individual -%vas theirs as wfU a. tha men's.

It. is inteTestii? bo note th&t in a report. recently presented to the Licensing Justices, Captain A. Thomas (chief constable) stated tJM-t in comparison with Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool Manchester, Shemeld. Notting- Iiam, etc., the CONDUCT OF HOUSES AT SWANSEA was very favourable indeed. Nineteen objections will be taken, but most of these will be of a t'ornial character. ,ir. R. Watkins has eig)it objections-the police are objecting to each'ot these--al!d !t is expected some four will be referred for compensation. The following is a record, ot the number o{ houses and the amounts obtained of all the "referred" houses for compensajt-ioj! I since the A<*t was enforced :— Number of Total ) YeaT. Houses.
