Have you any of these symptoms P First thing in the morning—Head- ache, stiff joints, sluggishness, puffi- ness under the eyes, or nasty taste in the mouth ? During the day—Lack of energy, stabbing or wearying backache pains when you stoop or remain long in one position, rheumatic twinges in the limbs, urinary difficulty or bladder dis- comfort ? At the end of the day—Swollen feet. bad appetite, general weakness and irritability ? These symptoms mean kidney and bladder weakness, and may lead to deadly Bright's Disease. Here is the case of a man who suf- fered for 12-years from Kidney trouble, telling how he was completely cured. Mr. J. H. Simeox, the well-known Birmingham tradesman, of 23, Buck- ingham St., Birmingham, said in 1915: "For over 12 years I suffered such agonies from rheumatic gout that often I could not bear anyone to come near or touch me. "My limbs swelled enormously. One foot was so bad that I had to have a special Jboct made. I hobbled about like a cripple, and was laid up for t hree and four months n't a time. I tried every remedy that I heard of, doctors' pre- | scriptions and embrocations without 'success. Then twelve months ago I tried a box of De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills, and they gave me so much relief that I decided to continue taking them. The swellings gradunlly went down, and I became quite free ? from pain, and in a few weeks could move about quite easily, Since that| time I have been cuite free from mv old trouble." Confirming this statement in 1918 Mr. Simcox gaid:- "I have been a new man since taking De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills. I shall always have great pleasure in recommending them to anyone suffer- ing as I did." There are many kidney remedies that get no nearer to the seat of the trouble than to regulate the bowels. De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills go straight through the Kidney and Bladder, ffuskng them out and toning them up to the healthy activity which is essential t" general good health. Within 24 o. rs the pain is relieved and a blue tinge in the urine proves to you for your own satisfaction that this wonderful remedy has actually passed I rIght through the system. Perfectly safe for old and young alike, they hardly ever fail to effect a perfect and permanent cure. I. I   *HE'  ? Jl Ridney&Bladder iB B  ??- v?j?A? 'ss?HL_B?_ ?? TBrs??T?'B  re I i ?

I WASTE OF WATER. I WE would liko to 68j- something this week to impress upon every house- holder in Llanelly the imperative need for the utmost economy in the use of water. The dry season is upon us and already the reservoir levels are falling with alarming rapidity. July and August, it is predicted, will be dry and unless the present excessivo consumption is not greatly reduced, Llanelly's position next month will be very serious. For ordinary domestic purposes, a daily con- sumption of 20 gallons per head ought to ho ample. The fact is, however, that the present consumption in the town is 40 gallons per head. No town, be it ever so amply supplied, can stand such an enor- mous waste in summer, and we would appeal to every household to do its part in putting an end to the enormous waste that is now going on. There is, of course, another aspect of the matter. If the domestic supply runs short, it will have to he made good by drawing upon the works supply. This will mean the closing of the works and throwing hundreds of men out of employment. It should be remembered, too, that waste of water means a heavy loss to the ratepayers. All the warter supplied to houses is filtered at a great cost, and the position to-day is that about half a million gallons of filtered water are wasted daily in the town. HOOLIGANS. IT is humiliating to read complaints from the Corporation, the Education Committee, and other local authorities, as well as the Police Court, of the wanton destruction of public property that is go- ing on in the town. Not a week pastes without its melancholy list of convictions for theft of coal from works sidings, and damage to public buildings and parks. Last week the Corporation decided to re- place a footbridge that bad been forcibly removed and smashed at Machynis. A few Sundays ago choice standard roses and other flowers were stolen from the Town Hall Grounds, and it is reported that damage to the trees and shrubs in Pare Howard is continuously going on. This is a serious state of things which must be dealt with in drastic fashion. It i" no exaggeration to say that hundreds of pounds of the ratepayers' money have to be spent annually in making good the damage done by irresponsible people all over the town. Much worse than this financial loss is the proof which it sup- plies of the utter absence of what, for the want of a better word we may describe as the spirit of "townsmanship." If we could inculcate the true civic spirit in our young people, there would be none of this mischief making. Here is a fruitful field in which the teachers in our schools could work with advantage to the com- munity. But something more than this needed to deal with the evil to-d-iy. The polica force is now hack to something like it3 old strength, and the Superintendent should be asked to tell off a number of plain-clothes officers for duty in places of public resort. A couple of constables in Pare Howard and another in the Town Hall grounds would be the means of bringing some of the young hooligans to justice and making an example of inem. In regard to Swiss Valley, no one' can blame the Corporation for deciding that all visitors to this pretty resort must first socure permits. Unfortunately, the hooli- gan has left his ugly marks here also, and the Waterworks Committee have come to the conclusion that the use of Cwmlliedi for recreation purposes must be regulated. The intention is not to pre- vent the public from taking their walks here, but to make certain that the privi- I lege will not be abused, as it has been in the past. ¡
Housing at LianerchI
Housing at Lianerch I THE PROPOSED PURCHASE OF I LAND. In reference to the proposed housing scheme at Llaaerëh an important report j has been submitted to the Housing Com- i mittee by the Borough Surveyor, dealing with the land authorized to be purchased from Mr. Evan Thomas. On the 6th May, 1919, (said the Surveyor), the Corporation passed a resolution authorising compulsory powers to purchase th c "nd. On the 30th May, a letter was received from the Local Goverment Board asking the, Corporation to invite the Inland Revenue Authorities to negotiate with Mr. Evan Thomas, and the Town Clerk took the matter up with the Swansea Inland Re- venue Department accordingly. I am informed by Mr. Evan Thomas that he ha sleased this land to Mr. David Llewellyn, builder, and a plan has been submitted for the proposed laying out of the land. It seems to me that it will be some time before these lands are in the hands of the Corporation for building purposes, and I would suggest with a view of making a I start with the Llanerch scheme that a building scheme be prepared for the por- I tion of the Stepney lands just beyond the Andrew street bridge. The lay-out of this part of the land has been com- menced, and it is not in my opinion necessary to vary it, and I would recom- mend that building plans be prepared for about 70 houses in accordance with the lay-out plan herewith submitted. I also beg to lay before you plans of various types of houses for your con- sideration for this site, and it is for the committee to decide whether they will en- gage an outside architect for this part of the Llanerch scheme or whether they re- quire the plans and details to be pre- pared in my department. If the latter is the case it will be necessary to employ assistants. The Committee recommend that the partial scheme referred to by the Sur- veyor be approved of and that the neces- sary plans respecting the suggested 70 houses be prepared in his department; Mr. Thomas who is at present assisting the Surveyor on the Capel scheme to be engaged to render temporary assistance at a weekly salary of L3 10s.

HIPPODP,OME. I HIPPODROME. | i At the Hippodrome this week may be seen a few turns displaying clever artistes such as are not often witnessed at a music hall. First and foremost, of course, are the illusory feats of Lingha Singh. He is undoubtedly a clever per- former and some of his illusions are per- fectly new. Next week Mr. Charles Locke will present his popular revue en- titled "Who's your friend" and the caste is supported by a beautiful chorus. Revues generally attract large audiences locally, and undo --b'edly this popular house will be "packed" each night next week.
It is - SaidI
It is Said I That certain local employee has been doing the "glad eye" on cne of the our conductresses around Vaughan street lately. That when the eagle eye of his better half falls athwart his shadow, there may be some sparks flying about. That a curious incident marred the courtship of a Seaside couple a few nights ago- I That they were bang against the door j m-licii it was opened by pa. That as a result they made an uncere- monious entry into the passage. That a local motor-driver had a very strange "fare" last week. I That we wonder what the owner would say if he saw a "few generals in full J dress uniform" enjoying the comforts of his car. That one of them had her scrubbing- brush with her, which she proudly dis- 1 played to all en route. I That a certain knut is in a terrible rage over a statement published in this column a few weeks ago. That as a result the "bluebeard" has lost a few of his flapper-lovers. I That the young maidens, however, are most grateful to the "It is saidist" for disclosing the traitor. That a short but decidedly sharp conver- sat-ion ensued between a rather quarrel- some pair of lovers on Tuesday night. j That she scoffed at the idea that every man should be pensioned off at 90-: Poisoned off at 20 was her verdict. j That everything is to cost a little more I states a London daily. ) That if this is so, fancy prices in fact j are only in their infancy. j That a new cook who commenced duties at a local tradesman's house a few days ago departed (bag and all) within a few minutes of her arrival. That before commencing work she dic- tated her "fourteen points." That any of our readers who would like to obtain the address of this cook are re- minded that one of her strongest points I; i* a six hour day. That a local baehelor is puzzled to ac- count for a pair of ladies' silk stockings found in his pocket. That if he makes enquiries at No. —— James street, he may possibly obtain in- formation that will clear up the mystery. ———— I That the silhouette shown upon the j glass door attracted a number of passers- by at Bryn road on Monday. I That "lobby spooning" is indiscreet when the passage light is burning. That the Burry Port Council looks like J holding a reputation for its series of "hush" subjects. j That some of the discussions would do no end of good if they were allowed to appear in print. ) That such "dilly-dallyism" is not exact- 1 ly what the ratepayers would term j satisfactory. j ) That if one of the councillors heard the complaint of the "Star" reporter he would probably refrain from giving in- formation to one of the press correspon- dents for publication which was labelled at the meeting—hush. That a young flapper was subject to a very severe cross-examination by in- and pa as the result of her antics in Market street last week. That she pleaded innocence (not ignor- ance) but confides in us that she was only practising a slightly modified form of the latest jazz. That the devotedness of two members of the fairer sex to grand pa as he sallies forth from his daily toil at a local works each evening, is most touching. That the gallant fashion in which he pushes the pram. should be an inspiration to the younger generation of fathers. That the pronounced contrast between black and white is conspicuously demon- strated ir. this nightly procession. That complaints are being made by several "plotters" of midnight raids on their allotments. That as a result several of the raiders have carried away a large supply of "greens." That junior football clubs that were disbanded during the war are being rc- organised. That therft will, no doubt, be a rare tussle for the silver cup put up for com- petition by the committee of the premier team.

I bp;. t ng \1"j5ip -— -P- Sc::<r.ui Lt Co:.c: tcn. The First eleven had an open date for last Saturday, having failed to arrange a fixture for that date. Stradey was therefore left at the disposal ot the tennis enthusiasts, as the Seconds journeyed to Gowerton to fulfil the return engagement with that team. Tho Llanelly men took the field with the l'ixed intention of avenging the severe defeat sustained at Stradey some weeks back, when the visitors ran out easy winners a wicket and 55 J:¡!ls-U4 lor 9, against 89. The team was the same as that which beat Pontardulais at Stradey the previous Saturday, with the exception that a trial was given to Harry Griffiths. Jack Richards and W. P. Williams commenced operations for Llanelly, facing the bowling of L. Richards and Tern Morgan. "Jack," for once, did not rise to expectations, being smartly stumped by Davies off a delivery by Richards after he had only just broken his "duck." With the arrival of Griff Rowe to pertner W. P. Williams, things began to look rather black for the home men, as both batsmen soon settled down and set about punishing the bowling in no un- certain fashion. "Rowe was the first to bo dismissed, a delivery by Tom Morgan beating him, but not before he had knocked together a very useful 35. Harry Paton the next comer, was also beaten by the same bowler after making 5. Wil- linms continued to hit away merrily, and was not disposed of until he had com- piled a brilliant 59, which included three sixes and four 4's. At thi3 stage a very big score seemed not at all unlikely, but a few "ducks" were registered by the succeeding players. Fred Williams, how- ever, provided further opposition to the bowling, and bzi(i made an invaluable 21, comprising two sixes, two 4's and a single, before ho was caught. Of the re- maining players Tom Hopkins "chimed" in" with IS, and Harry Griffith justified his inclusion in the team by carryng out bis bat for 13. The innings closed for the respectable total of 159. Tom Morgan bagged the honours in bowling for the home team. capturing 4 for 46, whilst E. Thomas came a good second with 4 ior 53. The Gowerton innings opened in pro- mising style, with Ben Davies and W. T. Thomas as partners. The former hit about him with rare gusto, and seemed a certainty for the half-century when he was clean bowled by T. M. Phillips, his innings realizing 41. Thomas was dis- missed by Paton after scoring 13. E. Thomas and E. Davies provided a gfcod third wicket stand, the former making 15, and the latter 23. None of the re- maining batsmen gave much trouble to Paton and Phillips, and an interesting and closely contested game ended in a win for LlnncHy by 11 runs, the home  tenm making 14?. H. Paton proved to be the most suc- cessful bew'cr :v.e visiting side, taking 5 for 56, and T. M. Phillips also showed good form. averaging 4 for 47. By the way, Claude Warner has been reen down at the nets lately. Should he turn out, lie will doubtless prove a great acquisition to the First eleven, especially ill the bowling line. Roderick's XL To judge by their record to date the Roderick team are certainly going strong this season. So far, nine matches have been played, six of which have been won, two lost, and one drawn. The two re- verses were sustained at the hands of Llangennech and Kingsbridge. The Club is unfortunate m not being in passession of a ground of its own. In consequence of this, cf course, all the matches have to ho played "away." j On Saturday, Morriston provided the i opposition, and were defeated by the visiting team by 64 runs. the scores being Roderick's 9G; Morriston 32. T. J. Hopkins hit up a valuable 25 for his side, whilst in- the bowling line Arwyn Daves mot with great success, 1 capturing no less than five wickets for 13. John Res also did well, taking three for 17. I Many of the old members have returned j from service with the Colours, but there are yet a few to be demobilized. The Club is now waiting for the release of all j its members, the eliief idea at present being to keep the team going until they j are all returned, and then look out for a ground for next season. It will be of interest to know that T. L. Stewart, who, it will be remembered figured in the Llanelly team a few sea- sons ago, is now on leave from Ireland, nnd in all probability will be assisting Roderick's in their game against the County School to-day.
