BEAUTIFY YOUR SKIN I FROM WITHIN. I So many people suffer in the spring from skin troubles, such as eczema, blotches, pimples and irritation that a word of advice is necessary. It is a great mistake for such 6offerers and those with unsightly, bad complexions to smear themselves with greasy ointments. Often, they could not do anything worse, for the grease clogs the pores of the troubled skin and the mischief becomes worse. When there is irritating or itching rash a soothing boracic solution may heip to allay the irritation, but, of course, that doesn't cure. Skin complaints and I Spring troubles arise from an impure condition of the blood and will persist Until the blood becomes purified. The well-known Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have effected the best results in many forms of skin disorders and blemishes. This arises from the fact that these pills create rich, new blood, and. this good blood attacks the impurities that give rise to the skin trouble and dis- persed them so that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cure skin disorders from within—the only way. It fehonld be added that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have a beneficial effect on the general health; they increase the appetite and energy, and dispel diseases that arise from impure blood. Get a supply to-day from any dealer, but remember, common pink pills will Sot do-you must obtain Dr. Williams'.

PONTARDAWE HEALTH. I IOICAL OFFICER ON THE DECLINE N DRINKING. A HOUS NC PROCLEM At the Pontardawe Council meeting on Thursday, Mr. Morgan Davies presiding, the annual report of Dr. Lewis, Medical Officer of Health, was discussed. The fol- lowing are extracts from the report: Touching on war questions, Dr. Lewis says that after six months of war, we have had but few seriously wounded, and, as far as I know, no deaths of any soldiers from your district. The influence of alco- holic drinking on productive activity is again being debated, and, as usual over this question, more heat is dissipated than cound argument, produced. My ob- servations convince me that there is less drinking and that there are fewer cases of morning sickness, lassitude, tremulous- ness, and incapacity for work than at ordinary times. Still cases of the kind are seen, and, as to work, the teetotallers have the best end of the stick. Wastage of food are also not infrequent, crusts of white bread, 2 inches thick, are sometimes to be seen thrown away in back yards." Owing to the closing of a coin-cry which employed about 160 men, and re- cruiting, there are now a number 01 vacant houses in Ysdalyl'era. Almost every one of these 'houses is a newly built one, and higher rentocl than tlu older houses, and very appreciably higher than the many basement-* tl1:i are octajpjed. For years pa&t the hous- ing conditions in Y stalyfera have been adversely reported on in annual reports, and in October, the Saitary Inspector re- ported on 21 basement dwellings which weia unfit for human habite'tion." The births for the year were 1,00 whLlh gave a rate of 30.2. Tlie, deatl. registered were 407, w'hich grave a rat. !c4 12.23. Dealing wit'h infantile mor- tality, the Medical Officer reported tlha 38 died before they were four ivel-ks' r)l( The death rate per 1,000 births wee 103. Ystalyfera Houses. I It was stated that there were abou, two dozen houses empty through tbl cloving of a colliery. Mr. L. W. Francis aeked whether now was an opportune time to close some o those undesirable basement dwelling After discussion the matter was de- ferred. In reply to Mr. Henry Thomas, Dr. Lewis said4 had no doubt the new sew age disposal works at Trebanos would b completed at an early date. Living in Corrugated Building. I Mr. Win. Griffiths drew attention tol a corrugated building at CAvmgorse, wihieh was occupied by a certain party. The Sanitary Inspector was instructed to report. Plans were tapproved for the erection of 31 new Louses for the Clydaeh Esttatc-s Co., Ltd., and six house-; for Morgan Bros., at h

ANOTHER ZEPPELIN AERIAL VISITOR TO EAS I COAST. MANY BOMBS DROPPED BUT NO LIVES LOST. AN OLD HEt) KILLED The Press Association's Southwold corn respondent telegraphs that a Zeppelin passed over Southwold at 12.45 this morning, and dropped three bombs when north of the town and disappeared in the direction of Lowestoft. It hovered over the town about ten minutes. A Lowestoft correspondent of the East Anghan Daily Times" says the inhabitants were warned by siren at one o'clock, and almost before it had ceased three explosions were heard. There was a crash of falling masonry. The first two bombs appeared to have been dropped to the north of Lowestoft, and the third to the south. After the third explosion one of the timber yards was aeen to be alight. Judging by the glare considerable damage appeared to have been done. No Loss of Life. The Zeppelin departed from the town in a northerly dmotion, and appeared ti be making for Yarmouth, travelling slightly out to sea. So far as can be ascertained there was no loss of life. One woman was slightly inj ured. The timber yard was set on fire. Three hcraes in the stable were killed. Apparently the Zeppelin parsed over flalesworth and returned to Southwold, Ivhere ç;ix bombs were dropped, one fall- ing close to the police station. At 1.45 the airship passed over Wells, travelling from west to east, and follow- ing the coast line in the direction of Cromer. The Southwold correspondent of the East Anglian Daily Times" telephones ,hat information has reached Southwold iiat seventeen fire bombs and two explo- sive bombs were dropped close to Heiaham Mall, the residence of Lord St-radbroke. Hie hall was shaken. The Zeppelin circled round the house, and was plainly$een. Nobody was in- jured, and no damage dona It is also reported that the Zeppelin oassed over Harwich and Felixtowe about 12.50 a.m., going North. It had previously Iropped bombs at Burnham. The Press Association's Wells (Norfolk) correspondent telegrarbs- The airship passed over Wells about 2 a.m., flying along the coastline from West to East. No bombs were dropped. Scenes at Lowestoft. The Press Association's Lowestoft cor- respondent. telephoning early this morn- ing, says: A Zeppelin passed over Lowes- toft shortly after 1 o'clock. It. came in from the seaward, and the thud of the engines was distinctly heard by very many residents in North Lowestoft, the night being beautifully fine, without any wind. Shortly after the buzzing of the engines was heard there were three very loud ex- plosions, which seemed to shake the whole town. One bomb was dropped in a timber vard, which in a few minutes was ablaze. A horse in a stable near by was killed, and two other horses in another stable also shared the same fate. Windows were shattered in all direc- tions, and. aroused by the noise of the explosion, many people flocked into the streets. So far as can be ascertained, nobody was injured. The demeanour of the people was one of curiosity, and there was nothing in the shape of panic. The crowds flocked to the scene of the fire, but they were kept well back by a number of bluejackets and soldiers. Many others of the Services helped in ex- tinguishing the flames and giving valuable assistance to the fire brigade. In leasthan an hour all danger of the fire spreading was at an end. The Zeppelin seemed to have come from the south-east. It circled in a westerly direotion over the docks and harbour, 1.d then proceeded out to sea. A bomb dropped on the tram track, and a big pool of greenish liquid was left. This Hazed up fo.r a. time, and then died down. Strange to say, no damage was done either to the track or rails, but close by he windows were shattered by the ex- plosion, and the shop fronts were de- molished. It is thought the raiders had ^esi-tms on the railway station or har- bour works. Damage to Property. An Exchange message to-day says that t Zeppelin passed over Southminster Essex) shortly after midnight, but tropped no bombs; then proceeded in the Lirection of Maiden, where two incendiary md four explosive bombs were dropped. V fair amount of damage was done to )roperty, two or three worshops and a few -ottage-, being damaged. A large m her if windows were shattered, and incendiary bombs fell near the railway station Up to the present time tho Maiden 'olice have received no reports of any per- onal injury, but an old hen was killed. In addition to the bombs which dropped it Maiden, some also fell at Heybridge. On enquiry at Clacton.on-Sea Police station, the Exchange Co. was informed t hat a Zeppelin was seen passing over the 'own in the early hours of the morning, out no bombs were dropped. Allies' Reprisals. Amsterdam, Friday.—A telegram from Frieburg, Baden, says:—Yesterday, at ioon, a hostile airman again appeared above the town. He dropped five bombs on the Sturtbuger quarter, two ailing harmlessly, while the other three killed two men, four children, and a aorse, and severely wounded two men d.nd eight children. A number of school hildren were slightly wounded. One )mb fell through the roof of a house. Geneva, Thursday.—A French airman iew over Friedrichshafen yesterday, and mother threw four bombs on Stockach- A Zeppelin coming from Germany assed near Basle and disappeared in the lirection of Mulhouse. Amsterdam, Thursday.—It is reported hat a hostile airman dropped bombs on he Liege-Aix-Ia-Chapelle railway. This s one of the main lines of communica- iojis between Germany and Belgium. There are no details as to whether the ttack was successful or not. Germans and the Tyne Raid. Amsterdam, Friday.—A Berlin official elegram states that on April 14th, in the eveniug, a naval airship attacked the mouth of the Tyne, dropping a number of bombs. The airship returned safely.
