Lord TrwFPii, in the course of a magnificent address, Aid his mission that morning was to give them a rough sketch of ales in the war. No •speech could deal adequately with the subject, but it deserved to be mentioned at that great national a8."mbly. ((,hA(rs.) He appealed to the Gorsedd of the National EistcdlfA ? encourage tha bards, the ain??r?, fh? mti?cian?, the painters, and the sculptors of Wales to write together and compete with one another in putting before future genera- tions the proper presentment of that great heroic: subject IN DEFENCE OF LIBERTY, He hoped to live long enough to in prose, in verse, in gong, and in painting, the story told of the rising of Wales in defence of the liberty of the world. (Cheers.) If they looked hack over the! past four years, and considered the con- ditioll5 of things that prevailed in Wales, they wouid find that the people had been f for centuries adverse to military service, but at the outbreak of war the men of Wales flocked to the colours because they realised that their great ideal of lilierty ■was threatened, and they were ready tr- fight and lay down their lives to stalup out Prussian militarism. > GREAT DEEDS OF WELSH TROOPS.

Licufpr Thomas presided at a meeting of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion at tho Gwyn Hall, itho-n the problems of rural reconstruction were further discussed. Sir E. Vincent Evans read a paper, pre- pared hy Mr. C. Bryner Jonee. of the Hoard of Agriculture, urging that any scheme of rural reconstruction must be based upon the utilisation of the land for purposes of production. Of supreme importance, was ati improved system of education in the development of agricul- tural retonu; they must solve the ques- tion of how to secure the best trained and most highly qualified teachers for the mral districts. Dr. Tom Evans (medical officer of health. Swansea) made an appeal for a new conception of the training of the medical profession—that it 61iould be made predominatingly preventive and deal with th, maintenance of health i r rather than with the cure of disease. He appealed to the authorities of the new I National Medical School 81; Cardiff to bring this about, for that institution had no past tu fetter it. The health exemplar I in cacji rural community would naturally I. bo the village schoolmaster, but to-day the training of the schoolmaster was de- fective. He was, for instance, sent to a non-residential college at Aberystwyth, and never lost the bad habits and cus- toms of his old home. He, therefore, ap- pealed for the opening of a new depart- ment in the colleges—-a d?partm?nt of physical education, where the first year | of the teacher's life would be concerned entirely with health problems, physiology, j hygiene, gymnastics, games, and even dancing. In his opinion one of the most I urgent problems of reconstruction in rural Wales was the solution of the dif- ferences between church and chapel and eect and Met. He differed entirely from Mr. Llewelyn Williams, K.C., M.P., when he said that, chapel government i-ras a splendid example of communal life. He believed that the antagonism between Church and chapel, and between chapel and chapel, was one of the greatest stumb- ling blocks against the development of a fun communal life, and he respectfully urged on their religious leaders to hurry up and settle their differences, Mrs, Coombe-Tennant. Noeth. dealt, with the question of rural reconstruction in its relation to working-cl ass women. She deplored the high mortality rate from tuberculosis among Welsh women, and i advocated the erection of better houses, built after consultation with women. Among others who joined in tho discus- eion were Dr. Arbour Stephens (Swan- sea), Mr. H. J. Randall (Bridgend), Prof. J. E. Lloyd, Mr. Percy Watkins (Cardiff), Mr. Thomas Jonea (London), and Mr. W. J. Parry (Bethesda). j CROWNED BARD Given an Ovation at the Eisteddfod! Concert. I What WM aMtribcd as a miscellaneous ccn?'?rt, indnÙing violin concerto, proved one of the mt? successful of the National Eist<*ddf?j c?ncprts The attendance in the National Pavilion last evening was estimated at over 10,000.

Bac. The soloist was Mr. David Evans, who eang his sev- eral solos with great Met and purity of fccne. The Mayor of Swaagca (Aid. Benjamin Jones, J.P.). in his presidential address, congratulated the town of Neath upon the magnificent success or the Eisteddfod, and the talent which Neath had pro- duced.

I WELSH AGRICULTURE.
WELSH AGRICULTURE. Co!. W. Gwynne Hughes and Shorter Hours. In an address on M elsh AgTLcuHurp— Fast, Present, and Future." before the Car- marthenshire Chamber cf Agriculture, at Carmarthen, on Wednesday^ Col. \V. Gwynne Tiurhes, Glancothi, presiding:, Mr. E. H. Evanc. Madryn Castle Farm School Pwl- heii, referring to the recommendations of the Agricultural Wageis Koard, said he thought it. was a mistake when men had been taken from the land for the trenches to shorten the hours of those who were left at home to cultivate the land. That mat- ter. at any rate, should have been left till the war was over. Where the farmers failed was in the fat that there was no co-ordination between the landlord, the farmer, and the labourer. Mr. S. H. Anthony, Tanlan. Kidwelly, thought it was advisable to admit the agri- cultural labourer into tho farmers' union, I for their interests were identical. A letter was read from Mr. John Hinds, M.P.. stating that he was receiving a lartcu number of complaints with regard to the hours fixed for the labourers by the Agri- cultural Wa.ses Board, especially those fixed I for Saturday afternoon and Sunday, which were ill ade.pted to the necessities of feed- ing and milking of cattle. Mr. Thomas, Towyn Pembrey. Raid farm- ers could not contend with the hours fixed, because there were many inclement days when they could do very little on the land, and there were other days when pxtra work to be done. Farmers would pay for the extra hours worked, but what about the hours lest on wet days Mr. Dd. Hinrir. Cwnin. said once difficul- t;.es #ere put between the farnur and his employes they could not produce what was wanted. A letter was read from the Carmarthen- shire Dairy Farmers' Association E-tetitjg that the hours as fixed would interfere to a great extent with the production of milk. A deputation was appointed to comer with the Dairy Farmers' Association and the. Farmers' Ur.ion with a view to laying objections before the Agricultural Wages Board on the question of bolir-. etc.

iCWMBWRLA WONIAN'S DEATH
iCWMBWRLA WONIAN'S DEATH The sudden dtath of Mrs. Mary John (66), 45, Fern-street, Cwmbwrla, was- in- vestigated by Mr. J. C. Morris (Borough Coroner) and a jury at the Public Hali. Cwmbwrla, on Tuesday. Airs. Sarah Ann Morgan, a neighbour. 43, l'em-street. eaid Mrs. John callle into the "sml H at the Alulstcj s' Inn, where witness was. at about 8 p.m. on Saturday. They had a conversation about marketing for a few minute". in the course of which deceased made complaints of pains in the head, and recent illnese, but witness did not think she was seriously ill at the time. Tlic-n deceased fell. and was carried into the street and attended, but she died. Medical evidence showed that death was duo to valvular disease of the heart, ag- gravated by bronchitis, and the jury r&- turned a verdict accordingly. I It should be made clear that deoeased did not die in the public house, but in the street., and we are sorry that our &um- rnamed report on Wednesday should have conveyed that impression.

i BE WELL AND WORK WELL. I The Duty of Everybody. I It is a positive duty for every one of us to exercise unusual care at the present time to keep a high standard of health, to live on a simple diet, keep good hours, waste neither money nor loud and tone up our bodies to the best possible service. We may not all lare equally well on war rations, but. it is possible to select a pro- per diet from articles of food that cause no discomfort, and it is possible to tone up the digestive organs. j When the .stomach lacks tone there is ) no quicker way to restore it than to builu up the blood. A good digestion without l'ich red blood is impossible,, and Dr. Williams' pink pills offer the best way to build up the blood. They also have a direct action on the nerves, and as the nervee control the process of digestion, j these pills are especially good in stomach | troubles attended with Thin blood, and In nervous dyspepsia, Much indigestion is caused by a lack 01 rich red blood; similarly amemia. often causes stomach weakness and indigestion. Hove Dr. Williams' p-ink pills dispel both disorders is cii-o wii in the ca* of M is» .Mabel E. Long, who lives at fcf. Princes Street, Pear Tree, Derby. I often I -A-as tired of lifr .!i she ftated, but I don't say so sihee my cure by Dr. Williams' £ unk pin?. Previously I was always weary every- | thing was toj much trouble. If I went lout, I soon returned home, f dead djne up.* Doctors said that I was bloodies- but I never &eemed any beftevr no matter how much medicine I took. My heart palpitated, every time I went upstairs, sharp pains r.eized me in the side, and I could scarcely get my breath if I hurried at all. I had no IT iyiy face and lips were a palp. unhealthy colour. Often I suffered from headache. Mid at times my back and limbs ached dreadfully. For nearly two years 1 sufferer} like this through bloodle&snesg. and seemed as if I should never he any better. But an alinl,, told my mother to givn me Dr. Wil- pink pills. She ha/1 been cured by theee pills of nervous troubles, so mother got me a supply, when I was very ill in- deed. It wa about a month before much of an improvement came about, then I steadily got stronger. After taking one box of Dr. Williams' pink pills my di- gestion and appetite were good. I continued taking Dr. Williams' pink pills, and soon could get about. Then my blood improved, and I had quite a good colour, and felt, ghul to be alive. I can- now work hard every day yet never feel too tired. I could not have done anything like this before my cure by Dr. Williams' pink pills." Mrs. Long, her mother remarked, There is nothing the- matter with Mabel's health now. I myself gained great help from Dr. Williams' pink pills, when run- down." Go to your dealer for Dr. Williams' pink pills—be careful to say you want Dr. Williams'—and you will aoon find them j doing you good. f FREE.—Many diet bints are contained j in What to Eat."
