Pembrokeshire Quarter Sessions. MILFORD ASSAULT CASE. The Pembrokeshire Quarter Sessions were held on Tuesday at the Shire Hall, Haver ford west, when ;ir Charles Philipps presided. The Chairman .said he was sure they would all join with him in placing on record their deep regret and sorrow at the Iocs of so many colleagues or sons of colleagues. Since the last Quarter Sessions one of their most able and conscientious magistrates, Mr. Whicher, had been called to his rest—a gentleman who was not only a really useful and hard-working magistrate, but who carried on valuable work in the most important body they had in the coutiiy. the Education Committee. Then they "j!lJ( [oakery sad duty, viz., to refer to the loss of many brilliant young lives, all of which held a useful and important place in the county, men of spotless honour, men who had immense courage and who, without one look backwards went boldly forward to fight, the. battle of their King and country. They all felt that they had, as a county, sustained a tremen- dous -loss in the many young men who hid laid down their lives at the front in I There was something very terrible in the list he held in his hand, but it was their duty to confine their expressions of surrow to those who were directly or indirectly connected with that court. The first name was the only remaining s mi of the Lord Lieutenant of the County, Captain the Hon. Roland Pliilipps. They all admired the great bravery lIe showed in the lield and also the work he did as a Christian and a. gentle- man. Then there was one they all knew and respected. Major lliggon, who had also laid down his life for It 's country. There was also the late Lieut. Baron Allan de Rutzen, a bril- liant son of a brilliant father, a young man to whom they looked forward with great expecta- tions that lie would do splendid work for the county. Then there was Lieut.-Col. Hawksley, ) I. who, some of them could remember when he was High Sheriff there. Perhaps one of the saddest of all the deaths was that of Capt. Lloyd, the only son of Sir Marteine Lloyd. He said it was sad because some months ago Capt. Lloyd was reported as killed, and just as the memorial service was being held they had the immense joy of welcoming him back to their midst..So to lose him now was a specially hard blow. Then he came to hie own personal loss. From very kind expressions he had had all round lie. was sure that lie had their sympathy in the loss of his son-in-law, Major Bronifield. It was not for him to sing his praises. He was immensely popular in the Welsh Guards and in South Africa had won laurel6 of the highest kind. Brigadier-General Ivor Pliilipps. M.P., said t.hat all the regiments from Pembrokeshire had taken an active part in the war and some of those the Chairman had mentioned had actu- ally served under him. Major Higgon had served under him. Major Higgon had served in the Pembrokeshire Yeomanry and lie was one of the best officers in the regiment. The Chairman had referred to many others, who had fallen and he (the speaker) should like to add that the magistrates evinced much sympathy with the Chairman in the loes he had* person- ally sustained. They were, unfortunately, all in that position and therefore he thought* their sympathy could go out to the Chainnan all the more. The motion was agreed to in silence, the Court standing. NEW MAGISTRATES. A number ol the new County J.P. s took the oath. CRIMINAL BUSINESS. BOUND OVER. William Eason (18), farm labourer, wsa charged with feloniously breaking and enter- ing the house of one William Morgan, Nevern, and stealing £ 18 2s., the monies of the said William Morgan, on the 10th September. Accused pleaded guilty. Mr. YilJlers Meager appeared to proseeine for the Crown and uriefiv outlined the facts. He said that on the 10th September the accused visited the house of William Morgan and stayed some time talking abput the sale of .some sheep- and cattle. Later in the evening Morgans and his wife went out and upon Mrs. Morgans re- turning she found that the house had been and some silver had been taken, information was given t.. the police and ae a result the de- fendant was arrested and the money found upon him. The Chairman read a long statement from • the accused, in which he expressed regret for what lttr had tiiyiie and complained that he was Hot paid sufficient, wages by his employer. He took the money with the intention of going to his parents and then join the Army. Accused was given a good character bv the Governor of Carmarthen Gaol and by a Ne: wport policeman. The defendant was bound over to keep the peace for twelve months on his undertak- hig to go straight to the recruiting officer and cnl isL. COSITKSTOX HurSEBREAKTXG CHARGE. Edward Swan i31i. a private in the King's Liverpool Regiment, stationed at Cosheston v amp, was charged with feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of one Annie -)jiias, -,?-itli intciit to eonin1()-Iiut s t e (,? f o-ne Aniiie 1 homas, with intent to commit a felony therein. Accused pleaded guilty. The Chairman inquired as to evidence of character and it transpired that no officer was in court. The case was therefore adjourned and instructions given to telephone for an officer. Later in the day a second-lieutenant arrived and said that accused's character whilst in the Army had been good. They were quite willing to receive the accused back into the regiment. The accused was bound over to be of good behaviour for twelve months. MILFORD ASSAULT CHARGE. Louis Yansielehem, a Belgian engineer, now residing at Milford Haven, was charged with maliciously wounding John William Gillings, an English slupper. Mr Yilliers Meager (instructed by Mr F. W. Merriman, Pembroke Dock), appeared for the prosecution, and Mr W. C. Howe (instructed by Col. W. J. Jones) for the defence. There were a large number of witnesses on either side, and the evidence given at the Milford Haven Police Court, of which a full report was given in our last issue, was repeated. There was the same conflict of evidence. According to the story of the prosecution, Gillings entered the bar of the Lord Nelson Hotel and heard the accused calling him a —— English bastard" and a b- English "— Gillings put his arm out towards accused and said "You must not call me those names." Gillings alleged that the Belgian then picked up a half-pint glass and threw it in his face almost cutting off his noee. Then Gillings admitted he "defended himself," and there is no doubt that he defended himself with great vigour. According to one of his own witnesses Gillings set about the Belgian in a lively fashion and one of them went up the other end of the counter somewhere," A witness named Skipper James Brown said Gillings was set upon by two Belgians. "If I had known what he was going to rJo," said Brown referring to one of the Belgians, "I'd have poked him in the lug till be balloed." "Oh, you would have taken part in it," said the counsel for the defence gently. "And what do you think," said the sturdv old salt. "We were in the Lord Nelson,' he con- tinued, laying special emphasis on the famous Admiral's name. "And do you think we were going to stand there like dummies." The witness Badcock also seemed to have been greatly struck by the figbtiDg qualities of his countrymen. (rillings nearly knocked one of 'em through the panel of the door," be said in proud tones. "Did you take part in the fight?" asked Mr Howe. "I wish I bad in a sense," came the reply in the richest Cockney. John Blake, a patrolman who was noticeable for his huge face and brawny arms, said that when the two Belgians "got on Gillings, he pulled one of them off and said "keep your bands to yerself; one dog one bone." (Laughter). The affair, as described for the defence, bore quite a different complexion. They alleged that Gillings came into the bar and without any provo- cation knocked a Belgian named Yonmeysen. He then walked up to the accused, and put his band on his (the accused's) shoulder and struck him four or five times on the face- The accused dropped the glass be had in his nand and it smashed on the floor. Gillings' lacerated nasal organ was accoun- ted for by his face coming in contact with the glass on the floor. A large number of Belgians corrob- orated this version. Several of them were unable to speak English and the services of an interpreter were utilised. They all seemed to be very much in earnest, and gestulated freely. Indeed, when referring to the taking off of coats prior to the "rough and tumble in the bar they waxed quite dramatic and one or two of them almost divested themselves entirely of that nesful garment, showing quite a large expanse of white shirt. One of the witnesses was very frank. He bad been aeked a question about the struggle between Gillings and the accused, and said" I must explain, Sir. There is a great difference between the way an Englishman fights and the way me fight. An Englishman fights straight out with bis fists, and when a man's knocked down stands back and gives him time to get up. We fight our own way." The Jury retired and upon their return said they had decided to reduce the charge to one of common assault. The defendant was fined £ -2.

Defendant said "I've been washing in the front room and forgot to pull down the blinds and my daughter is upstairs." The constable added that he had cautioned Davies on two previous occasions. The Chairman: This is a place where the lights should be obscured. It itO right opposite the Dockyard. Defendant was fined £ 1. WAR MARRIAGE'S SEQUEL. Maitha .loues, married woman, now iii a situation at Maestcg, applied for a maintenance order against her husband. Thomas Jones, of Merthyr. Mr. F. E. Greathead appeared for plainant. At the outset, the Clerk read a letter from the defendant, who did not appear, stating that. he could not attend and asking that the case might be adjourned for a fortnight. He proceeded to state that he had provided a home for hip wife and had written to her asking her to live with him. Mr. Greathead said the complainant had come all the way from Maestcg to attend that- day. ft, was quite untrue that the defendant had uritten to" say lie had prepared a home fur her. lIe had written one letter to his wife since the summons had been taken out- and he (Mr. (;rnthead)) would :,u¡!ge.-t. tllat t1li, was sent owing to fear of the summons. Martha Jones, the complainant, now entered the box and said she married the defendant on June 26, 1615. She was. then Jiving at fctuddolph and the defendant was serving with the Brecknoeks at Fort Scoveston. He visited her at her sister's house at Steynton. Later he was removed to Swansea. During the time her husband was in the Army she got a pen- sion of 12s. 6d. per week. On March 23rd her husband was discharged. He then wrote to her to say that he had obtained a job as a fireman on an engine and that he would have to wait a fortnight before he would get any money. She believed this and agreed to wait. She did not hear from him for six weeks, at the end of which he sent her 14s. Another seven weeks passed without her hearing from him an dthen she received 15s. She had re ceived nothing since. She had now got a situation in Maestcg. The Chairman advised the complainant to go back to Maetsteg and take half a day off and go to see her husband. They would, he was convinced, soon come to an arrangement. Mr. Greathead: What he says about provid- ing a home is quite wrong. T (ii) tiot tliilik hi- offer is a houa-fide one. The Chairman: We do not know that. You know tin) bench do not want to separate man and wife, Mr. Greathead. The case was adjourned for a month.

BUSY RED CROSS DAY. I Tuesday "as a busy day for Haverfordwest Red Cross workers. A number of young ladies nothing deterred by the heavy downpour of rain, with a persistence worthy of their cause, besieged passers-by with flags. They did a good day's business, and realised the sum of about £40. In the afternoon tea was served in the Assembly Rooms, and in the evening a variety and dramatic entertainment was given at the Palace Theatre through the kindness of Mr. Sydney White, when there Wb a record house, many 'failing to ?ain admission. The Band of the 4th Reserve Batt. Welsh Regiment, was in I attendance (by kind permission of Lieut-Col. B ram well Jones and officers), and played suitable selections, whilst the other artistes were: Soprano, Madam Grace Daniels; con- tralto, Mrs. Nl. Davies: tenor, Gunner Reed. and baritone, Sergt. D. R. Chugg. All sang remarkably well and evoked vociferous ap- plause. Not the least interesting were the items of Sergt. W. n. Collier who appeared in ..the dual capacity of solo violinist and conductor of the balld. He essayed Ches-de Berots 7th Violin Concerto, and acquitted himself admir ably. His playing was distinguished by iiii- failing accuracy of intonation, whilst he gave a good account. of himself in the brilliant ef- fects which de Beriot introduced in the Franco Belgian school of violin playing in the way of harmonics, aspeggios, pizzieatos. etc. We con- gratulate Sergt. Collier on hits playing and the audience unreservedly gave him all the credit he desened. His encores comprised the ever- popular Ralp Cavalina and an arrangement by Kreisler. The accompainsts were: Mrs. Doig, and Miss Gwen Davies (Tenby). An interest- ing feature of the programme was a short one- Act comedy, "A dear little wife," in which the characters were ably taken by Mr. A. E. Sage, Miss Doris Swindell, and Mr. John Craggs. The performance evoked roars of laughter, and was I complete success. Special praise is due to Mr. Leslie H. Ellis, the hon, secretary, and Mrs Doig who worked indefatigablv for the. ,suc- cess of the evening.

iVISIT OF THE KING'S LIVERPOOL5. On Sunday morning last over a hundred men of the above regiment, uuder their commanding officer, attended St. Martin's Church, Haverfordwest, for divine service. We understand that all of them have seen active service, and are now convalescing after their arduous campaigning on the Somme. The Vicar was particularly interesting in his address, basing his remarks on the gospel of the day on Watchfulness. He compared the watch of the soldiers on the parapets with the never ceasing vigil of the Navy, and referred to the watch of the anxious relatives at home, who were ever looking for lews of their loved ones. Lastly, there was the "Man of Sorrows," who was watching over all, and was our only comfort in these distressing days. The men were very orderly and sympathetic, and joined heartily in the singing. We extend our heartiest greetings to these gallant lads who are wearing honourable scars and have hazarded much for King and country, and trust their stay in Haverfordwest will be a happy one. I

The Toll of War. Private Thomas Jones, Haverfordwest. We regret to hear that news bas been received of the death in action of Private Thomas Jones, Merlin's Bridge, who served iu the Machine Gun Co. of the 3rd Guards Brigade. Deceased, who was 25 years of age, joined the Army in June of 1:115, and went to France on September 26. He was killed on October 2nd—pro- bably the first time of going ioto action. Z1 PRIVATE THOMAS JOXES. I [Photo by C. C. Higgs. I The sad news was conveyed to the mother, Mrs Sarah Jones, Merlin's Bridge, in the following Jetter from a c')mrade Dear Mrs Jones,—You will have been informed before this of the death of your son. It gives me great pleasure to tell you that he died like a man at his post. I am forwarding you the property which I found on him It was his last request to me before be went into action that if anything happened I should inform you of it. Please accept the deepest sympathy of myself and the other members of the Section in your sad bereavement. H. E. JAMKS. Private Jones was the eldest son of Stephen and Sarah Joues, Merlin's Bridge. He went out to France the same time as the late Private Bishop, and it is a sad coincidence that both fell on the first day they went into action. Deceased's wife has since been officially advised by the War Office of her husband's death. With the bereaved parents and the widow and one child the deepest sympathy is felt.

SERGT. D. B. EDWARDS, PORTHELD. Sergt. 1). B, Edwards, Portfield, seuds us an in- teresting letter from the Dorchester hospital, where he is suffering from shell concussion and contusious in back and head. "At present," says Sergt. Edwards, "I am unable to stand or walk. Rest is the cure (so they say), and I am hoping to be about in a few weeks." Our correspondent, who is in the Welsh Guards, refers to the first time his regiment went into action on September loth, when. Major Bronifield was one of five officers killed, and W. Allen, Dark Street, was wounded. On September 12th the regiment went up as reserve. This was the first time for Sergt. Edwards to be in action. They sup- ported the Coldstream, Grenadier, Irish aud Scots Guards. By the Lith they had taken all objectives, when Fritz let ioose bis artillery on our supports. One of the famous coal boxes,' be says, dropped just behind me, and I felt a thud in the back and neck. What happened afterwards I do not know. I next found myself under medical treatment." After spending 10 days at Rouen hospital he was labelled,' Blighty." At Roucn olle of the sisters in the ward was a niece of Mr Anstee, Llaugwm. Sergt. Edwards adds that on September 1-tth he met Pte. Jack Harries, Prospect Place, who was quite well and happy. Private George E vans, formerly of Rosemary Lane, Haverfordwest, is reported to be wounded in the head. He served in the Post Office Rifles.

MEMORIAL SERVICES. I PTE. ARCHIBALD GRIFFITHS. I A memorial service was held at St. Martin's Church on Sunday evening last to pay tribute to Private Archibald C-riffithsof Dew-street, who died of wounds received in action on June 30tb. The church was crowded and no better eulogy could have been paid to the deceased soldier than that delivered by the llev. Baring Gould. There is one other character which has impressed the Vicar in the same way. viz., that of a. young man who left all some years ago to take up missionary work in Central Africa, only to die in the midst of his work, a victim4o malarial fever. In Private Griffiths, St. Martin's possessed a staunch Churchman, faithful to his duties as choir- man and acolyte. He always seemed to be filled with the impressiveness of bis worship, whilst out- side the church he was the soul of merriment. At the close of the sermon the hymn. Peace, per- fect peace," was sung, and after the benediction, the Dead March was played by Mr Leonard Lewis. Not the Jeast impressive scene was the Vicar, acolytes and cross bearer ranged before the altar when The Last Post" was sounded by two buglers of the King's Liverpool Regiment, who bad attended by special permission of the commanding officer.

AT THE WESLEYAN CHAPEL. I Last Sunday evening a memorial service was neia at the Wesleyan Chapel, Haverfordwest, to the memory of the lads connected with the church who bad fallen during the war. There was a large con- gregation and an impressive eervioe was conducted by the Rev. E. J. Bradford. The service opened with the singing of Dr. Watts's great hymn, 0 God, our help in ages past." Prayers were offered for tbe sorrowing frien(Y; 'as t 11Watts t, the lads on the various battle-fronts, for those dying, for the wounded, and for the speedy and victorious end of the awful conflict. The other hymns sung were "God moves in a mysterious way," "Who fathoms the Eternal thought?" "What are these arrayed in white'?" and "For all the saints who from their labours cease." In the course of his sermon the preacher said they l were met together that uiht under circumstances which could not be more affecting. Sorrow clouded the homes of our friends whose suns had fallen since this awful war had raged. Men had gone from that church who had been reared in the Sunday school and nurtured under the ministry of the church. 1 Four of these had laid down "their jives-Ivar Griffiths, Willie Davies, Willie Morgan, and Robbie Bishop. These men who had laid down their fives had "fought the good fight." He believed that all the lads who had gone from that church were fight- ing against sin and evil. They could say of Robbie Bishop and the others that theirs was a complete life. The giving of our hest was the sacrifice that tells. The lads whom they commemorated that evening first learnt the lesson of sacrifice in the SabbatD school. While it was human to mourn the loss-and to feel the awfulness of the loss—there was j a great ray of sunshine in the thought that they at least are crowned with Eternal life. At the close of i the service the Dead March was played.

Main Street, Pembroke. SOME OF THE NEW MAGISTRATES. Four of the new magistrates are working-men, and twoof them are direct representatives of Labour. Mr E. P. Harries, Pembroke Dock, enjoys the dis- tinction of being the youngest of the new magis- trates, if not the youngest in the ccnuty. Although only 29 years of age, he is recognised as a very able Labour leader. He is secretary to the newly formed Pembrokeshire Labour Party, and is a man of iu. tellectual atcainments. He is employed as a ship- wright in the Dockyard. Mr J. V. Harries is a rail- way worker, and is a noted controversialist on the Neyland Council, of which he is chairman. Mr T. E. Ellis, Saundersfoot, is a miners' agent, and is another excellent type of Labour man. Four of the new Justices are serving in military capacities. These include Lieut.-Col. Rhys Samson, C.M.G., son of Mr Louis Samson, and brother to Mr Marlay Samson (who has done much valuable work during the war as Hon. Sec. to the Pembrokeshire War Fund Committee), and Mr C, L. W. Penn, son of Mr R. P. L. Penn, of Camrose. Mr Hulton is the com- mandant of the local V.T.C., and a borough magis- trate of Tenby. Mr Fred W. Lewis was until recently proprietor of this journal, and his selection is au honour to local journalism. Dr. Lloyd is a well-known medical man in Haverfordwest and has an extensive practice. He is a brother to Colonel Lloyd, the chairman of the Pembroke- shire Territorial Association. Mr Green, of Glany- mor, St. Divid's, is a well-known archanlogist. Mr Id. G. Llewbeiin is a representative of the Fisbguard division on the Countv Council and takes an active interest in all local public affairs. Mr James, Gien- owen, Neyland, is another useful public man, of a diffiflent manner, but possessing a sound judgment. Milford is well represented in the uew liat by lr LI. J. Meyler and Mr Wm. N. Jolin. Mr Meyler was last year chairman of the Milford Council, and pre- sided over the deliberations with great tact and marked ability. He has challenged the cause of the Welsh Memorial Association against the narrower county scheme with an enthusiasm and knowledge that did not fail to impress opponents as well as supporters. Mr Howard Fowler, Drnidstone, bas not taken part in public life, but he did useful work on one occasion by prosecuting the Haverfordwest Rural District Council for faiiing to keep a road in efficient. repair. Mr R. H. Barneby is ageut to the Stackpoie Estate, and is a member of the Pembroke Rural District Council. Altogether the list must be I pronounced a very representative one.

Memorial Service at Middle Hill. in tiie presence of a large congregation, an impressive memorial service to Mr Joseph Thomas. one of the victims of the recent collierv accident at Hook, was conducted by the Rev. T. J. Walters at Middle Hill Chapel on Sunday evening. The hymns sung included "Cod moves in a mysterious way" and "Lead Kindly Light," and at the close of the 'service the "Dead March" was played by Miss1 Williams. Hosemarket. Preaching from the text "Joseph is still al1"e," Mr Preacliizi?, froiii the text is still aljvc- .Nlr Walters paid a wen-deserved tribute to the deceased. who was a piHar of the church at Middle Hill, and beloved by all who knew him. "To-night said the preacher, "we think of another Joseph, a brother dear to us all. The gospel was not given to I)Iougll through broken hearts, but to heal them. This then, is the gospel balm of your sorrowing heart, dear; s:stet.andsurrovv)n? famiiy "Joseph is vet alive' Christianity has abo)ished death and brought life and immortality to light in the gospel.. We cant help feeling that it was a pitv that someone couldn't have totd Jacob that Joseph was vet alive 1 and better off than he had ever been. How 'different those twenty bitter years would have been. ir Oliver Lodge said the other day of the great subject, of death 'There is no extinction. The change. called death as the entrance to a new stage of existence. Life is continuous.' This is i the gospel of comfort to you, mv dear sister, and brothers and sister—.Joseph our friend, Joseph our brother is yet alive. I-le stood ill this ill tili,: neighbourhood, for all that was upright and true. I have spoken to his playmates, his neighbours, his fe) ow-workmen. and I am proud that I knew him as well as any man -and I have not heard anything but praise, admiration and affection for him. He was an Israelite in whom there was no guile. His were (ii-lalities thit go to make noble souls.

PABKUXAOLK SCXDAV SCHOOL Ay\IVt??U:V — Iheannuat Sunday School festival in connection with the Tal)eruacle Congregational Church was neid on Sunday, and from all points of view was very satisfactory. For the third year in succession the Rev. Griffith J. Evans, B.A., late of Swansea, who has recentlv settled at an influential church at Cardiff, conducted the services. In his morning sermon the preacher tackled the problem of the care of the child and its place in the church in a most searching manner. He spoke of the decline of the Sunday School in all denominations and en- deavoured earnestly to point the remedy. In the afternoon a united Sunday School service was held in which the Baptist and Wesleyan Sunday Schools toinea. Mr Evans gave a very interesting address on the subject of Happiness." The attention of the children was sustained by the speaker throughout. There was a very large congregation at the evening service the spacious church being well filled. The singing of the special hymns, chants and vespers were a feature of the services aud reflected the care and devotion of the choir-master, Mr Fred Morgans. I The organist was Miss Gertrude Garrett. The solo, Starof Beth1ehem." was effectively rendered uy Sergt. Ben Ray, King's Liverpool Hegt. Special collections were made throughout the day on behalf of the building fuud, and iu this connection it is gratifying to kuow that the school annually take the responsibility of raising a sum of The collec- tions on this occasion amounted to over £ :12. and this again included a donation of three guineas from 31r and Mrs Alfred Cleevely and family, Johannes- burg, South Africa, who were brought uip in the school.

i 00 You Know That Mr Fred Hitchings, Pembroke Dock, recently purchased from Torquay a very 3erviceable: ferrv st-eamer That before he could take possession the War Department sequestrated the coal? That a large number of Pembroke trades-people, including an ex-mayor and two Town Councillors, have been summoned under the new Lighting Order. That a Haverfordwest chemist relates a rather unique case of identity, when he was an assistant in the West End three years ago? That a stranger entered a certain pharmacy one morning and asked for a draught, mentioning the particular ingredients be required That six months afterwards he came again for the -ftwe dose," and this time the assistant anticipated his requirements, thereby earning the compliments of the stranger on a retentive memory ? That ouly a few days ago the coincidence was revived in onr own midst That when explanations were qiven on both sides, it seempd that Pembrokeshire was intuitively recognizing its own, as the purchaser wag no other than Colonel Harries, of Hilton ? That Sir Owen Scourfield, who has just entered on his 70th year, is an expert locomotive driver ? Tnat it is said sait was so scarce a hundred years ago that when Pembrokeshire folk killed a pig they bad to sell half of the animal in order to buv sufficient salt to cure it ? That Peter's Finger" is the curious name of a place near Templeton That Neyland boasts of a one-leg canary ? That it is an exquisite songster, and has bopped about quite cheerfully on its perch for years? That the fee paid by magistrates who qualify is now the modest one of 10s ? PERIWINKLE.

A CHEMIST'S WARNING TO DYSPEPTICS. DRCGS THAT DECEIVE. To the majority of sufferers from indigestion and dyspepsia, drugs are a curse instead of a blessing," remarked an eminent chemist recently, The same might also be said of various artiheial digestants. Pepsin, for instance, is widely used by dyspeptics. Now pepsin may be very valuable to the aged or to a person whose stomach is weak from Jong illness, but careful research has proved that in most cases of indigestiou and dyspepsia the stomach is quite healthy and the digestive organs uni m paired- > •l>vbi rlu-t tu acid if the$lormch n>>d rouseqwui (■ rmeutuiiot, of the contents. Artificial digestants are, of course, useless in such cases, and I know of no drug which can be safely employed; but prac- tically all chemists stock a simple antacid known as magnesia, and, this. so far as I knew, is the only preparation recommended by physicians anJ used in hospitals as an effective antacid and food corrective. I have taken lA\nr«U-4 magnesia myself and have recommended it to a great mu)- people at different times and have never yet heard of a case where it ba.s failed. Next time you experience pain after eating, with flushed face, heartburn, datuience, etc., get some of this pure bisur/'tcd magnesia from the undermentioned or any other good chemist, and take half a teaspoonful in a little warm or cold water. It will iiistaiitly neutralise the harmful acid and prevent ail possibility of food fermenting in your stomach. But. whatever you do, avoid drugs, and also be sure you get the pure !»snraiid magnesia, for the market is floodeti with crude mixtures of bismuth and magnesia, which in my opinion are likely to do more hgrm than good.

Pembroke Borough Tribunal. CASE OF A MILFORD TEACHER. In tbe absence of the Mavor, Alderman J. Law- rence presided at a sitting of the Pembroke Borough Tribunal on Monday, when thirty cases were dealt with. There were thirteen applications for exemp- tions and seventeen applications by the military for the withdrawal of certificatr-s of exemptions granted to youug single men under ;¡n years of age. Major Treweeks, in supporting these appeals, said that lie need not tell the members of the Tribunal of the (lire need for men. The military authorities were looking forward with much apprehension to a prolonged struggle and men were most decidedlv needed in large numbers. He asked them not to looli too much at the financial and sentimental as- pects of the cases, but to consider the national standpoint. He added that they had to go carefully through the looks and select every single man under the age of who had got conditional exemption. There would be no favouritism. Of the 11 applications, four were refused, one adjourned, six given periods of temporary exemp- tion, and five ordered to serve immediately". The most interesting case dealt with was that of -?e dealt Nvith was that of John C. Bleucowe (2oj, single, schoolmaster, who had been given conditional exemption after a hear- ing in private six weeks ago, which the military representative now asked to have withdrawn. Bleucowe. who was then unemployed, said that he was now employed at Milford by the Pembrokeshire Education Authority, and supported his mother. Military Representative: Tbe point is your mother was able to maintain herself when you were earning nothing. Blencowe said that his mother spent some of her capital upon his education as an investment. Major Treweeks said lie understood the Education Committee did not. employ young men who were fit for service. Had that been altered ? The Clerk I don't know. The Tribunal refused to wit-draw the exemption.
