A PUBLIC BENEFACTOR. Wonderful Skin Healing by Zam-Buk. If it were possible to prepare a yearly j record of the number of instances where seemingly simple injuries have been fol- lowed by terrible and even fatal conse- quence. it would surely make people realise the necessity for keeping Zam-Buk handy to dress even the most trifling scratch. No matter how careful Mother may be in preparing the meals or m cleaning dewn. she cannot, avoid cuts; burns, and scalds, whilst children seem to have a special weakness for knocking and bruis- j ing their limbs and faces, and for catch- ing nny prevalent skin and scaln disease. Then there are wo-lvlvp mis-haps which call for clean; rainless healing, and safety. from festering and blood- poison. Thera are two serious objections to ordi- nary ointments to-day. The first is to the lard or other animal fat in them which soon turns rancid and useless. The second drawback is that they frequently contain coarse mineral poisons which the skin can't absorb. The most successful preparation is Zam- Buk, because it is natural and wholly medicinal. Zam-Buk is n-unique substance prsnarcd solely from hei'bal extracts- Nothing else known to Science performs the same anarve;h>us healing, or dispels disease from the tissues as Zam-Buk does. In a natural war belonging to the natural herbs from which it is manufactured, Zam-Buk takes the fire out of a wound. heals up the tissues cleanly, and all, the burning irritation of skin diseases, such as eczema. Zam-Buk. is a soothing and purifying agent of unparalleled power. It draws poison and inflammation out of the tissues; it nuiclcly cleanses and cures the ringworm-ridden scalp of a child; and it v.-ill rescue the lody and limbs from pains and sores that have defied all other measures j Wherever there is a sMe, blemieh, fes- tering wound, running ulcer, rheumaticky joint. or case of piles, the proper use of Zam-buk will end the trouble more quick- ly. and at cost, than anything else. Zam-Buk has such a wiie range of use- fulness for every-day accidents and disease that no home can afford to be without this "greatest healer of the twentieth century sold at Is. 3d. a box by all Chemists and Drug Stores, or The Zain-Buk Labora- tories/Leeds.

TANK TOTALS I NEARLY < £ 4.600,000 IN SOUTH WALES The sum of t35.1,353 5s. Od. wa.s Port- l Talbot and Aberavou's crushing reply to Castellnedcli Julian's two days visit" Glided on Saturday night amid scenes of great enthusiasm, and there was a-tre- mendous cheer v. hen Mr. Edward Lowthar announced the final figure-which is wio-e than double the quota—^< £ 150,000. Just before Julian left his den for the station a pleasing ceremony took place.. Mr. Moses Thomas, J.P., Town CIprI: of Aberavon, on behalf of the War Savings Committee, presented Lieul. Davies, the popular Tank commander, with a Welsh flHg- y Ddrai- Goch-and in saluting the flag in reply Lieut. Davies, who is of Welsh extraction, promised that if Julian øYt'r went into action again it would carry that flag in memory of the visit. When he was sent to South Wales he was told that he was going to the hotbed of pa- oifsm, the home of peace cranks, and the birthplace of the I.L.P., but, thank God, he had found during his tour that there was no more loyal spot than South Wales in the whole of the British Empire. (Ap- plause.) During the evening speeches off the Tank were made by the Rev. D. W. Davies. B.A. (vicar of Aberavon), the Rev. E. R. Lewis (late of Scarborough), Messrs. G. Lipscomb, J.P., Richard Evans, J.P. (Bryn). T. S. Goslyn, Louis Winks (presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce, and one of the be-t Tank workers), and others. Selections were given bv the St. Mary's Band and the Cwmavon Male Voice Choir. Of the total of < £ 354;353. no less than the Pp^ Office, one man bringing in P,80 in gold. Among other large investors were Ald. D. J. Jones (Aberavon> £ 4,000; Pearl Insurance Co., £ 5,500; Mr. Daniel J. Rees, J.P. (Aber- a,Ton). Henry James Ward (Port Talbot), £1.000; Aberavon Working Men's Club, .£1,000; and Conservative Club Members, £ 2 000. Up to Monday morning the total re- ceipts from the tanks now touring South Wales was £ 3,7-19,353. Below are given figures for West Wales:— h Llanelly JS440,/2S Aberavon £ 354.353 Neath £ 302,71(5 Horseinon £ 254,412 Carmarthen .£198,2f}5 Pembroke £ 171,000 Pontardulais .£67.338 The secretary of the Aberavon, Port Talbot and District War Savings Associa- tion, Messrs.

Please con- vey my heartiest congratulations to the inhabitants of Port Talbot and Aberavon. —Lloyd George." Subscriptions received after closing timo make the grand total just over I (¡(),Oa{).

INDIGESTION REMEDY COSTS NOTHING iF IT FAILS. 0 vring to the wonderfully successful re- ports from dyspeptics and sufferers from indigestion, gastritis, acidity, etc., who have been using the old-fashioned stomach and indigestion remedy known its Bisurated Magnesia, leading chemists everywhere now keep this remarkable remedy put up ready for use in both powdered and tablet form in convenient packages, each of which contains a bind- ing guarantee contract of Satisfaction or money back. Dyspeptics and stomach sufferers who wish to convince themselves of its marvellous merits without risking u penny, ehiuld go to the nearest chemist to-day and get a bottle of Bisurated Magnesia, the kind that's guaranteed." Enough powder to last- about six weeks costs only 3s.; the mint-flavoured tablets are Is. 3d; arid 2s. Gd. for small and large sizes respectively, and they all coot nothing if they fail."

PROUD PONTARDULAIS. ,l Thanks to an 11th hour investment of I tiO.000, from the London City and Mid- land Bank (per pro Mr. Griffiths, local manager) the Pontardulais Tank total has now reached £ 32,032. In March last th2 place contributed £ 47,000 during a War Savings Week," so that the record is a noble one, $129,032 having been raised by these two efforts. Over a dozen War Savings Associations in the place ara also doing magnificent work weekly, There were only a few lasge sums in- vested, and the number of individual in- vestors was high.. When the fact that the tinplate trade—the local staple in- ) dustry—is now practically stagnant is taken into consideration, the figures are still more gratifying. Graig Merthyr Collieries III ve¿ted £:OOO of their "war" fund, and about 291)0 was subscribed through the schools. Lieut. Davies, Birch Rock. was chairman, and Miss M. E. Davies, schoolmistress, the inde- fatigable hon. sec. of the excellent local committee, which worked so splendidly. It. should be remembered that the Tank wtis only in the place for two business" hour3.

PERSONAL MOTIVES. I. At a meeting of tho Iforesttach and District Trader. and Labour Council a resolution was unanimously passed èm- piratically protesting against the con- tinued opposition of the various councils interested in the Swansea Borough En-j tension Bill. j We arc: of the opin-,<n," the ret solu- tion proceeded, "that the opposition is mainly based upon personal motives, and not made in the interest of the general community. Being in constant touch with the rank and file, we are convinced ttet there is no opposition to the pro- | posed scheme from them, but, on the contrary, it is looked upon as a boon long overdue. j We therefore call upon our M.P., Mr. John Williams, to give-the Bill his active and energetic support, so that, the scheme may be brought into existence with as little delay as possible."

LODGER AND THE NOTES. I At Swan-sea on Tuesday Thomas Wor- rall, tailor, was charged with stealing £17 10s. in Treasury notes from 16, Ap- proach-road, Mamelton, the property of Ann Mort., Mr. Rupert Lewis, who prosecuted, said that defendant, who said he was a dis- charged soldier, had come to lodge with her. 0 Sunday evening ehe went to chapd, leanng the money in a bag.
