I A NEW DRUG FOR ECZEMA. -0- LONDOTS", — [ its discovery not long ago, the new drug Cadum hae successfully cured thou- sands of chronic cages of eefcema and other 'I distressing skin afflictions. Hitherto Cadum ha.s been dispensed in large packages only, solely for the benefit. of eczema, patients. This wae found to be an inconvenience to many thousands who use it for minor skin troubles, such as pimples, blackheads, blotches, rash, eruptions, scaly scalp, com- plexion blemishes, itching feet, piles, etc., which, require such a small quantity to cure. To overcome this, and in response to urgent appeals, the dispensers of Cadurn have adop ted, in addition to the regular Is., a special 6d. size, which is sold by Boots, Ltd and other chemists. In all eczema cases Caelum stops itching with first application, and pro- ceeds to heal immediately, chronic cases being cured in two weeks. In less serious skin troubles, results are seen after an over- night application.

Burry Port District Council. I I Burr Port_»trct Council. I l SPECIAL MEETING. I I I A special meeting of the Burry Port Dis- trict Council was held at Somerset House on ThursdMy evening, Mr. F. J. Evans in the chair. There were also present Messrs R. G. Thomas, J. G. Hancock, W. V. Jones, J. Rowlands, Thomas Beynon, Hume Buckley Roderick, James MeDow-all, Thos. Hughes, David Evans, together with the Surveyor (Mr A. J. Oburn), the Rate Collector (Mr W. R. Leyshon), and the, Deputy Clerk (Mr. W. S. Davies). BORE WELL. A large number of tenders were received, and opened for the work in connection with the proposed bore well. Mr. Hancock: If we allow the Surveyor to tabulate the figures, will we as a Council go into every item and accept the most suitable tender, or will we submit them to the on- gineers to report upon. Mr. James McDowall: In any event. I do not think it is advisable to accept th* best tender this evening. If so, I should s; that we do not really, know the exact st; te of affairs. Mr. Roderick: I see from some of these tenders that the figures arc not all carried out It is not impossible to get at the lowest tender, is it? The Chairman: Not at all. Mr. Hancock proposed that the tenders be sent to Messrs. Weaver and Tilloch, to be re- duced to three. Mr. Jamea McDowall seconded. Mr. R. G. Thomas moved, as an amend- ment, that, the Surveyor should tabulate the figures, and submit them to another special meeting. Thereby, several pounds would be saved. Mr. Thomas Beynon seconded, and the amendment was carried. The Clerk then read a letter from the office of Mr. Daniel, engineer, Swansea, who is the mineral agent for Earl Cawdor's estate, stat- ing that, their letter asking for permission to sink a bore well on Earl Cawdor's ground had been sent to Mr Saunders, who was the gentleman to deal with such matters. The Clerk said he had not received any reply. A long discussion took place as to the best course to adopt, and, ultimately, it was de- cided that the Clerk should wait upon Mr. Thomas Jones, of the Stepney Estate Office. RATE. Afr. -R. G. Thomas proposed, and Mr W. V. Jones seconded, that the common seal of the Council be affixed to the late of Is. lid. in the iP,, to cover the estimates for the ensuing half-year. Tim was agreed to WESLEYAN ROAD This long-vexed question was again dis- cussed. Mr. R. G. Thomas reported the result of the deputation that awaited upon Mr. Arthur Morgan, manager of the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway Company. Mr. Morgan had revised his previous promise with regard to the necessary materials for the di- version of this road and he (Mr. Thomas) was very glad to state that the revised terms were most satisfactory. The Chairman proposed, and Mr. Thomas Hughes seconded, that this matter be finally discussed at the next meeting.-Unanimously carried. ACHDDU UCHA DRAINAGE A report of the sub-committee appointed to report on these defective drains was recefved, accompanied by a plan of the proposed im- provement. There was a long discussion, and it was resolved that a portion of the work be carried out according to the Surveyor's sug- gestion. REGATTA. A letter was read from Mr. Isaac Phillips, secretary to the Burry Port Regatta, asking for a" reduction of the charge of 2s. 6d. per meeting held at Somerset House. The Clerk reported that that was the charge according to the- scale now in force for the holding of such meetings. The Rate Collector said that the Trades- men's Association held fortnightly meetings, and they always paid 2s. 6d. per night. With regard to trade unions and friendly societies, there was an annual charge. The Clerk was instructed to reply aecor- d i n P'l v. DOCK WATER SCHEME It was resolved, upon the proposition of Mr W. V. Jones, seconded by Mr John Rowlands, that the Derwydd Road Water Scheme be ex- tended to the Docks. The Surveyor said that with regard to cost it would be a very small item, as be had sufficient pipes in stock. Mr. Rowlands suggested that they should erect a little fountain for the use of visitors during the summer months. It would be a splendid acquisition. The Chairman said it would be better to carry out the other schemes first, and con- sider the question of erecting a fountain at a future meeting.

HARBOUR LIGHTS. Trade lias been better during the past, week at the North Dock. OnD rather unusual cargo has been that of contractor's plant from Ireland, for Messra. Seott and Middleton, who are engaged upon the construction of the new line for the Great Western Railway Company near Llangennech. -0- It is satisfactory that the improvement of channel due to scouring from the North Dock has been beneficial not only to vessels from the North Dock, but also to the weekly traders using the Coppetworks Dock and Wharves. —a— ¡ They have been able to come and go with greater ease, and a less margin of water dur- ing the late neap tides than usual. —o— < The meaure of success of a port depends ¡ upon its lowest tiie, is the strength of a chain does upon its weakest link. —o— Vessels of large draught can come to Llan- elly with ease and safety on high tides, but to meet the condition of regularity of Irani c. with which success is so closely bound 111) I to-day, it would be better if vessels of less draught could come in on any tide. —o— Beet of all, of course, if large vessels could j come in on any tide. The period within which objections to the I Improvement Scheme of the Trustees had to he made having expired, a communication, I and, it is to be sincerely hoped, a favourable one, should soon be received, from the Board of Trade -0-- I The best season for working ill water is passing along, and the sooner work is started the better.

Mr. Tregoning said there were not many on the committee, and most would have the opportunity of occupying the chair. Mrs. Phillips consented to withdraw her proposition, with the approval of the se- conder. The Chairman said that would obviate a. division. Mrs. Phillips said that, unfortunately, Mr. Jones was in London Rev. J. H. Rees was then unanimously re- elected chairman for the third time. On taking the c-hair, Mr. Rees thanked the meeting for 'his re-election, and said he would I do all in his power to justify the selection. RE ELECTION OF VICE-CHAIRMAN.

Some correspondence was read, from the I Clerk to the County Council in respect of the I amount due to the committee for the main- 1 tenance of the Evening' Classes. The County I | Committee were of opinion that the claim made by Llanelly was excessive, and they ¡I suggested that for the year 1906-7 it should be at the rate of Is. 6d. per night, and for the next session at the rate of 3s. 6d., making £ 14 17s. for the first session, and £ 34 13s. for the second session, a total of £ 49 10s. Mr. Tregoning said he had gone into the question carefully with Mr. Lewis and the -lletrk- The amount originally offered was zC46 for the two sessions, basecl upon the aT- II rangement Tnide, on the opening of the classes. The classes were now so much lar- ger than formerly, and on a fair basis the amount now due in respect of the classes now worked out at- £ 129. The County, however, wished to fix the amount on an entirely different basis, and appeared to regret the fact that they had raised the question. The Chairman said that on a fair basis they j were clearly entitled to Z129 j Mr. Tregoning said the County objected to i pay P-23 per annum, and now offered £ 34. The Chairman moved that the matter be re- j fcrred back to the same committee, and this | course was agreed to. j I LABORATORY ACCOMMODATION. I A letter was read from the County Edue.-t.- tion Committee, stating that adequate labo- I ratory accommodation should be. provided for ¡ examination purposes. The Headmaster said that an extra fume j cupboard was desirable. There would be an examination a fortnight hence. f It was resolved that the work be proceeded with at once, the Headmaster to Jhiit of all obtain estimates.
