= BABY HARRIS. Firm, sturdy and strong" 56, East Dulwich Grove, East Dulwich, S.E., November 8th, 1916. Dear Sirs,—I feel I must tell you what Virol has done for our boy. At the age of 6 months he could not take any foods that were given him, nothing suited him, and I think we tried every- thing. At last we were strongly ad- vised to try Virol, which we did, and were delighted at having found some- thing that really agreed with him. He is now <2 years old, and is very firm, sturdy and strong, and compares more than favourably with children we know who are 3 and 4 years old. Yours faithfully, P. C. HARRIS. In Measles, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis or Influenza, Virol should be given to children of whatever age. Virol increases their power of resistance and recovery, and strengthens them against dangerous after-effects. VIR011 In Glass & Stone Jars, 1/ 1/8, and 2/11. I VIROL, LTD., HS-1S6, Old Street, B.C.

TOWN PLANNING. I interesting Address at Neath Meeting. The annual meeting of the South Wales District of Municipal and County En- gineers was held at Neath on Saturday, under the presidency of Mr. D. M. Jen- kins, borough engineer, Neath. Mr. H. Alex Clarke (Britonferry), the district secretary, announced with regret that the district president, Mr. W. Har- per. Cardiff, was unable to be present, through continued ill-health, and did not sock re-election. On the motion of the chairman, seconded by Mr. J. R. Heath (Swansea), a vote of sympathy with the president was passed, with an expression of hope for a speedy recovery. Mr. D. M. Jenkins was unanimously nominated io- the presidency, and Mr. H. Alex Clarke was re-appointed secretary, nnd Mr. G. A. Phillips county representa- tive. COMING MEETINGS. -1 Arrangements were made for spring and summer meetings, and the district was in- vited by Mr. D. M. Davies to visit the Ystradfellta Water Works in June, and Mr. Fred Hatcher invited a meeting at Porthcawl in July.Tho invitations were accepted wth thanks. TOWjN PLANNING. I A comprehensive and lucid address was then given by the chairman on Town Plannin- Exhibits of maps, plans and documents necessary for tho initial stages of the scheme were handed round, and the chairman's observations were followed with close attention. He explained in de- tail the t'vn schemes which Neath had em- barked upon, and gave much valuable in- formation. Reference was made to the new municipal housing policy, which in- cluded the granting to local authorities power tc purchase land and lease it, under proper safeguards, for building by publio utility societies, private builders, etc. Although there was as yet no precedent, and the Local Government Board were not encouraging, the Neath Corporation had decided to make provisions in this scheme for the carrying out of this im- portant object. He touched briefly upon the necessity for broadening the scope of town planning schemes, and the need of co-ordination in the laying out of new arterial roads through adjoining districts and counties. The paper was responsible for an inte- resting discussion, in which the following took part:—Mr. J. Richard Heath (Swan- sea), Mr. G. A. Phillips, Mr. D. M. Davies (Neath). Mr. A. S. V. Taylor (Bedwas), Mr. E. C. Pole (Cardiff), Mr. John Morgan (Pontarda we), Mr. J. H. Montgomery (IJlnelv), and Mr. H. Alex Clarko (Britonferry).

LUCKY TO WIN. II Semi-Final for Welsh  Schools' Sh:e!d. The Swansea Schoolboys* Association team were lucky to defeat Cardiff on Sat- urday. Without doubt a draw would have boen a truer reflex of the play. By virtue of their victory the local lads will play Barry in the final for the Welsh Schools Shield. As a team, the Swansea lads played splendidly, but special mention should be made of the magnifioent display given by Day, Williams, Lewis and Bell. Of the Cardiff lads, Peterson, Trigg, Cress, Meek, Groves and McCreadie were always ia the picture, and the centres (half and forward) made heroic efforts to stave off defeat. After the game teams and teachers par- took of ten at Thomas' Cafe, St. Helen's- road. Mr. Bowen, chairman of the Swrnir sea League, welcomed Cardiff and con- gratulated them as taking their defeat without bad feeling. Messrs. Fryer and Craze spoke in eulogistic terms of Swan- sea and wished them every luck in their match against Barry. Mr. D. J. Williams | accorded thanks to the Swansea directors. I Mr. W. Evans (secretary, Swansea Town) respo: 1 and said that the clean dis- riidy gi = "bv the boys was an example to their elders. i ",ve the directors great pleasure to <acour<,g- the lads.

CONSTIPATION, Biliousness is due to a disordered condition of the liver. But when this organ fulfils its functions properly you no longer suffer from Biliousness, headaches, or constipation, as the impurities in the blood are eliminated natur- ally. Mother Seigel's TAKE Syrup is admitted by KjSjyS? I thousands to be the best stomach and liver in- vigorator. Its action on the minute cells of which the liver is composed soon restores that organ to healthy activity and Jt K yS\ V -v- so puts an end to the trouble.
