HOW TO TAKE CORNS OUT SO THEY NEVER COME BACK. I i H You simply use saltrated water, which does the trick for us soldiers every time, and also cures bunions, aching, tenderness, blisters, chilblains, or even rheumatic and gouty pains —says Sergt. C. S. TURNER, R.A.M.C. Cutting the top of a corn off with a razor or burning it off with caustic lotions, plasters, etc., doesn't do any good. The root just sprouts right up again, and soon your corn has a brand new top on it, bitjger than ever. The top is only dead skin anyway. The business end of a corn is the little pointed part, or core, that extends down into the toe. That is what hurts when it presses on sensitive nerves, and it is the part you have to get out. Cutting the top off an aching tooth wouldn't stop the ache. Same way with a corn. Don't worry about the top- Get the root out per- manently by using a good big handful of Reudel bath 6altrates (you can get a half-pound at. slight cost from any chemist) dissolved in a gallon or so of hot water. Just soak your feet in this for fifteen or twenty minutee, then take hold of the corn with your fingers, and out she'll come root and all, like the hull comes oiut of a strawberry. Only a little hole or depression is left in the toe, and that soon closes, go thElra is nothing left in there to sprout a new corn again. It doesn't affect the surrounding flesh at all, but ooon eoftens the whole of the corn. No burning or soreness, no pain n:> danger, no trouble, and no days of waiting 11:> see whether that old corn is going to leave for good or come back to stay with you a while longer. Soften callouses, the same way, "then scrape off, and I (1n't dare tell you how quick this medicated water, made with Reudel Bath Saltrat-es, will always drive aches, chafes, blisteie, etc., away and even cure rheu. luatic or gouty pains. It would sound too good to be true but thousands of soldiers can b-jl what wonderful stuff saltrated water is. C. S. T. I

ABSENT-MINDED. I 1,000 Incomplete Food Card II Forms. Many people in Swansea say they have not yet received an application form for a food card. Those who have not should apply to the nearest post office for one at once, and, after filling it in, return it to the local food office The food cards will be dispatched dar- ing the early half of the week. Those who do not receive them by Wednesday morning should apply to the food office. It may be mentioned that nearly 1,000 people have forgotten to fill in their names and addresses, and they will probably be able to trace their incomplete forma in the great pile at the food office. A large number of cards had been pre- pared for despatch prior to the alteration in the age of children entitled to the full meat ration. The child ot six is now en- titled to this; formerly it was the child of ten. Thus those people with children between 6 and 10 will be entitled to have the cards amended. Mr. Victor Evans hopes to do this work with the assistance of the school teaehers. Forms will be provided at the schools which the teach- ers will be asked to give the child affected. He (or she) will take this card home, and the parents will fill it up, returning the child's card and the form to the teacher. Tho latter, it is hoped, will then fill up a new n adult" card and eend it home by the child.

DYSPEPTICS GET RELIEF OR MONEY BACK. A REMARKABLE REMEDY. I The contention that over 90 per cent. of all stomach troubles are either directly or indirectly due to acidity or food fermenta- tion, seems to be amply proven by the uni- formly instant relief experienced by suf- ferers from indigestion and dyspepsia, who take half-a-teaspoonful of pure Bisurated Magnesia in a little water im- mediately after eating. Many dyspeptics, however, ha-ve tried so many highly praised remedies without obtaining relief, that they have begun to think nothing can help them. It is therefore A, iratber of pleasant surprise to these people to learn that every bottle of Bisurated Magnesia. is accompanied by a birvlinp; guarantee to return the purchase price if it fails to give complete satisfaction—proof positive of our confidence that Bisurated Mag- nesia, which is readily obtainable of any chemist, and costs but 3s. for a large bottle, is the most remarkable remedy ever known for dyspepsia, indigestion, acidity, flatulence and stomach troubles geoenaHy r

SWAYING BATTLE I I RENEWED* OFFENSIVE ON SOMME II AWAITED PARIS, Monday. Reuter's Expert Commentator, writing last night, says:— The slowing down in the German ad- vanoe in Flanders, which was noticeable last night, became more accentuated in the course of to-day. In spite of the vio- lence of the fighting the enmy was able to achieve no new progress, while French troops are making their way to the battle area of the Lys to support the British divisions. Our Allies, obeying Field-Mar- shal Haig's Order of the Day, There i must be no retirement," drove back the j enemy everywhere with heavy losses.. The front was maintained on the positions mentioned yesterday: Hollebeke—Wyt- schaete-.Ni-euve Eglise-the railway line south of BaiUeul-soiith of Meterin, Mer- ris and Vieux Berquin-the eastern out- skirts of the forest of Nie'PPR.obecq and Aire Canal, down to La Bassee, Lacon, Feetubert and Givenchy. TENACIOUS BRITISH. I The Germane, however, put out all their strength and conducted their attack on a large scale against the left wing of the British Army on a front of fifteen kilo- metres, between Meteren and Wulver- gfcem. Having failed in their efforts to carry Bailieul by a frontal attack, they endeavoured to get at the town from the north-east by capturing a dominating position in that direction. Over md over agflin Eborhardt's troops oame back to the charge with special violence against the village of Neuve Eglise. The fighting at this point was very severe and lasted all day. The struggle indeed is still in progress without any decision having been reached. The tenacity of the British in this action has been 'I- 1 praise. ) In the centre the fighting ac- tivity was restricted to two points —on the one hand to the en- virons of Merris, where the enemy tried in vain to break through in order to proceed along the railway line in the direction of Hazebrouck, eight kilometres tc the west; on the other hand, to the north-wes.. of Morville. where tfe-e Germans a- strongly held on the eastern outskirts of Nieppe Forest. The rigfiit wing of the British Army, atta.cked between Looon and Festu- bert, maintained its positions intact. A German comununique describing the day's operations niaturally makes no allu- sions to this latter operation of theirs which failed eomgaletelv. It records no progress beyond Vieux Berquin and Mer- ris, and it admits the fact that there were lively battles around Bailluel without be- ins able to give definite particulars as to their outcome. Finally, it announces the capture of Ncuve Eglise, but the village, having passed continually from one side to the other throughout the /day, this statement, as we may see fronythe British communique, is pcrobably not true now. In any case, the German Imperial Staff is far from being able to claim a victory. RESUMPTION OF OPERATIONS. The revival of-tlbe enemy's artillery fire is to be noted in the Albert sector, ac- companied by an attack at dawn with a view to debouching from the town-an a,tr tempt which was immediately stopped. Indications point to the probability of a resumption of operations on the Sommo. Her also the Aliied troops will get the better of the German onslaught, thanks to the spirit of brotherhood in arms with the united British and French soldiers, thanks to the vigilance of their leaders, and thanks above all to the unity of command.

I was in communication with him till about 8.30 a.m., but after that I was unable to soy what happened, except that the enemy captured the line between 9 and 10. His orders were to hold the line to the last, and tlioee orders were nobly i carried out, and none of his ofifcers or '< men are with us to tay what happened. No doubt many are prisoners, and Capt.

LATE DR. IVOR THOMAS f Memorial Service to Distin- I guished Scholar. The service at Bethesda Welsh Baptist Chapel, Swansea, on Sunday night, took the form of a memorial to the late Dr. Ivor Thomas. The pastor (Rev. David Price), in a feeling address, referred to the many good qualities of the late emi- nent soholar. Dr. Thomas, he said, was one of the most able men of our nation, and his premature death was a loss to the Principality. He had pieen to heights in the educational world, but he had at all times been mindful of two facts—that he was of the people of Wales; that his re- ligion was the religion of Wales. Dr. Thomas had one ambition, and that was to serve his nation. The post he held during the last few years gave him the opportunity to do go. The reverend gen- tleman went on to refer to an article written by the late Dr. Thomas for the Gwyl Dewi number of the Teacher's World," in the course of which he dealt with the history and industrial impor- tanoe of Glamorgan. He was asked why he wrote it. Becaufoe." was the reply, "I want to rouse in these children a love in and pride of their country and their Weleh blood." This was the true man.

THE NEW BEER. Swansea Complaints of Over- charging. Much doubt prevails on the subject of the new fo;irpenny and fiveponny beer. It ifi on sale at a number of Swansea houses, and the number will of course tend to increase. There are complaints that the licensees of some houses are charging excessive prices, working out at anything up to Is. a pint in the saloon bars. The law on the subject is that where a licensee has the new beer. it must be on sale in the common bar at the regulation price. Any of it that is sold in a saloon bar, however, may be charged for at higher rates. No price is fixed for this. The Licensed Victuallers' Association have drawn up a notice, of a type that every licensee is required to exhibit in any saloon bar where the regulation beer is sold, calling attention to the fact that it may be obtained in the common bar at the fixed prioes. It would appear from the order that if there is any Government beer in the house, some of it must be on sale in the common bar.

NEW SAILORS' HOME. Scheme for Acquisition of Land in Victoria-road. We cuiTI the following interesting item from the mirtutes of the Estates Comnart- too to be brought before the Council on Wednesday next:— « At the last meeting of the committee the Estate Agent read a letter from Mr. W. A. Jenkins, hon. secretary, Swan-sea Branch of the British and Foreign Sailors' Society, setting out the desire of the Society to build a new SaiJore* Home in Victoria-road, and containing suggestions for an exchange of properties now held by the Society on lease from the Corporation. The committee decided that the Estate Agent be instructed to negotiate with the Swansea Harbour Trustee* for the acqui- sition or otherwise of the leasing of the plot erf land pituate in Victoria-road, por- tion of the old H-arbour Offices, of which they eladm to be the freeholders, and for the acqusition of the lease of the raaein- ing portion whiM they hold from the COIRXWATIOP.

The honeymoon was spent at Newport. Stoker Davies is one of five brothers on active service, one, Sergt. C. Davies, Welsh Regiment, having been killed in the early days of the war, and two of the others wounded. <
