WONDERFUL HEALING. I A VALUABLE OBJECT LESSOX FOR I EVERY HOME. Suppose you gashed your iiiumb, and then t.he blood, alter flowing freely, suddenly stoppsd and you saw the jagig-ed edjges o-i the wound creep gradually together until, before your own eyes, the opposite s.ds of flesh joined up, leaving no trace ot the injury behind Viewed under a microscope it would seem as if a gleat red abves had been closed up and the earth united into an unbroken plain. Would you not say that a great miracle had been performed before your gazeT Yet this is the wonderful transformation which the famous healer, Za-m-Buk, brings about. Zam-Buk is famous for its power, obtained from oeriaiin rare herb»s, of growing new healthy skin. Where there is a jagged wound, Zam-Buk grows new skin to knit tile place to- gether in a very short space of Urnf, and ii poison or disease has got inM tho plaœ Buk rooM it o?M completely in a f?w houra. Zam Buik is different from a.U ordinary oint- m-e I I ta. For its soothing and antisept.c q,,i,&i:iti .es it repreaents tho greatest achievement obtained in this department of medical science. Such unpleasant disorclers of the #k: n as eczema, psoriasis, pimples, ringworms, ulcers, raphes, soreness, blotches, sore hands sca p trouble, etc., yield rapidly to its firm, Iwct gentle curative action. So beautifully refined and wholesome a-re its herbal constituents that Zam-Buk has only gently to be smeared over the skin to set in operation tlie heading powers which it contains. As a remedy for piles Zam-Buk has attained a large reputation. As coon as Zam-Buk ia absorbed by the broken or diseased tissues, it begins its curati ve work by exterminating the poaonous bacilli wruoh lie at the root of so many hideous skin ctisorders. Having completed tho ant.eepsis of a wound or sore, Zam-Buk promotes the growth of new and healthy skin. It is due to its wonderful healing properties, and the fact that Zam-Buk keeps for an indefinke period of time without its superfine quaUtioa being altered, that it is now in practically universal use as the one reliable family healer.

Ihe MAYOR referred to the fact that Coun- ctHor Jdln Roberts haJ been g..zeUed lieutenant intheWe?h (CHn,rY{}n,hirc) Royal Gaa-rison Ai?ii?ry, and he proposed that tihe Council con- vey to hini their heartiest congi at illations.

The late Alderman was on the first Council, and had always interested himself in the affairs of the town. He did not epeak often at the meetings of the Courncii, but he was regular in his attend- ance, and was careful that no unnecessary ex- peiite was en tailed. Another trait in his charac- ter was that he never uttered an ill-word of any- body, and he was a gentleman in tdic- truest sense of tile word. The MAYOR stated that one who was on their local ro-, of honour, Lieut. Oswald G'i'iffitih, son ol Mr Rob:. Griffith, Lcriipobty, had beeai killed in action. He was the lirt resident of the town who Ibad laid down his He in France in the pre.- c,-zit war. He moved a vote of sympathy with tihe family. M!' C.

Mil OY\ EN OWEN, in acknowledging his e'ec- tion, said he had not sought the honour, w'liich was all the more gratifying. That was his fifteenth year on the Council, and he had always tried to do luis duty to the ratepayers. He was pleased to think he had never caused offence to any member of the Council, and he had always beeiti b'.i-icexe in ail the v iews he expressed. COAL SUPPLY. I MR BAYNE, in presenting the mi'iiutes of the Lighting Committee, mentioned that the coal supply wa$cominir in better now. t:8t;]MLY SCENES AT THE CEMETERY. MR COOIL cal.cd attention to unseemly scenes which sometime* oooured at the cemetery. A cemetery was usually called "God's Acre, but when he was at the local cemetery recently the place looked a playground. If there was any place on eanh w here people shoukl act in a beeniiv manner, it ougnt to be a cemetery. The committee should take tleps to avoid tiw scenes he witnessed at a ftiiie-al there last week, which were a disgrace to Bangor. LIEUT. JOHN .ROBERTS stated that the question .rais"d by Mr Cooil had been coriisidea-ed by th' coiiKiii'ttec. w !H> had devoted a good of time and attention to it, and had tried several ways to remedy what wws com;x!ai'ncd of. They had applied to the povice for assistance in avoidf- ir-ig what was an evil, especially when public fun- erals took place. It was a sod state of things., and tiiio committee wou.d do th-ej,r best to rtifiiiedty it. WORKMEN'S DWELLINGS. I A jaint, committee of tlie Highways B«d Svm-i- tary Committee presented the foliowniig report on the provision of workmen's dwellings: The cctniimi'tteo have to report that they lwve given the site opposite Alinafon their aire fill consideration, and beg to recom- mend as follows 1 -I"hat Mr William Parry be allowed to prcoeed with the ercotion of lour houses as per plans approved by the Council wi, line of f.iiontage paral^l to Mina.fon. That the offer of Dr. 0. W J to sell t.he six li-O^ISCS numbers 17, 25, 28. 29, 30, arid 31, Kyfrin-square, for a sum of £120 be accepted provided Nos. 32 and 33 can be purchased. That the offer cf Mr T. Ireland to & the two houses numbers 25 and 27, Kyfifnsquare, for a sum ol S40 be aeceptcd. That the acquiring of numbers 32 and 33, K^ yffin;-square. he left in the Town Clerk's hands wnth power to purchase at a sum not (X- ceeding 5s petr square yard. That tho question of dealing with the property of Mns Ellen WiI. liams be left in abe-vanco inasmuch as the pro- posed scheme can be carried inito effect without interfering with this property. The question of the Sackvi'ie-road site was t. s:lto w?-, s carefully considered, and it wws resolved that tlie Council be recommended to purchase the Sacikvilie-road site at 4s per square y,ld as p?r Mr R. C. Trench's WA* oJ t he 19thy" ard as per MR JOSEPH DAVIES objected to the words "careful consideration" b?iiiig included in the rf-port. The word should have been "jn- adequate. The que-jtion did not receive "care- ful consideration," and unless it did receive better consideration he would appeal to the Local Government Board. He declared there were ten rooms in Bangor which had no fewer than 63 occupants. The MAYOR drtpreea-ted the ^threat of Mr Davies to write to the Local Govern-mcct Board. "It is the meanest thing a councillor can do," addod tihe Mayor. "There is a letter to-day from the Local Government Board in rellerence to a letter sent them by a. townsman. If there is a grievance, the proper place for it to be taken ia the committee. It is not right that evory ]ititile grievance should be conveyed to the Local Government Hoard until all m-eans have betm exhausted by the (Jouneil.

The IA YOR: Is a siii.igle member to oppose the whole Council if tiiey decode upon a certain stcp ? MR OWEN OWEX pointed out that buying land was not the same as buying an ounce of tobacco. If they disturbed tire tenant of the land it was propowad to acquire jusfc now. it would mean the payment of compensation, which would increase the cost of tlio land, and thus add to the. of the proposed houses. MR JOHN WILLIAMS said Mr Davies in- '%IS sal d -Alr I)avies in. sinuated that ho was not allowed at the com- mitter tiO diiseuss the matter, but ha was given as muc.ir faiiplaiy as any other member. With- out auv lies tat ion he asserted that the committee had given the question every consideration. The report was adopted. REDUCED STREET LIGHTING.

Council recommended to apply to the Local Gcvornmenit Board for sanction to a to-in of £12500 to enable the scheme to be carried inito effect. MR.

HOUSING AND TOWN PLANNING CONFERENCE. A letter was read fironn the National Housing and Town Pltannrlng Council intimating that a North Woles Conference on Housing will bo held in Btangor on March 18th a.nd 19th. The TOWN OLERK said every member was invit.ed to the conference, and the aojnmititee diid not require any formal oeromottiics in con- nection wi-th it. I CORPORATION WORKMEN DEMAND MORE WAGES. A letter was road from the District Secretary of the Mun' cip-al Enpi-oyeeW Association, Man- chester, applying that the wages of all giradles of manual workers in their eanplby be increase d Dy 48 per week. He pointed out that the abnormal advance in food prices rendt-rcd it absolutely ne- oessary that tills step should be taken. A depu- tation of the men would wait upon the Council. MR JOSEPH DAVIES declared that the Corporation of Bangor of a,!j public bodies ilIl North Wales paid the lowest wages to its employees with one exception. The em- ployce,sb.a.d ¡behind them one of the meet power- ful organisations in the country. Mil COOIL -d he agreed with Council lor if not with hris remarks. ALDERMAN BAYNE remarked tiha/t thiiintge bid changed within the la;t Fix month. Food bid advanced considerably in price, and the face that fact. MR JONES ROBER'IS said t'hat in some d- pirtments the employees were underpaid as compared with other departments. MR VAUGHAN objected to the teiiouir of the remarks ma de by Mr Joseph Davies, who seemed to suggest that he was tlie only member of the I County prepared to do anything for the working men. It was decided to furnish each committee with a copy of the letter. I COMPLAINT FROM EMPLOYERS. The Bangor and District Building and Kindred Trades Bmplo,y'el15' Association, in the course of a letter, stated that owing to the conditions im- posed they could not advise any of the local builders to tender for the work of repairing the pier. Mil VALLANCE asked what were the condi- tions objeotod to. MR W. THOMAS thought it the duty of the Council to remove any grievance if possible. There wa) an idea abroad that local tradesmen were debarred from supplying coinmodditics to the Corporation though they could supply them as wo'l as outside firms. Tn-e SURVEYOR said that if the complaint referred to the temporary gangway the only tihiaivg likely to debar local contractors was that he had insisted upon the piles being driveni -n by a pile driver. He had tried to do without a pile driver and had faded, MR VAUGHAN said the committee always endeavoured to have work done locally. It was decided to ask the Aesoc?aUo'n to ap- po f?t a d?pui?tTon. to meet a Committee of tho Council. PENRIIYN HALL FOR THE USE OF I TROOPS.

FOOD SUPPLY IN CARNAR- VONSHIRE. GARDEN AND ALLOTMENT CULTIVA- I TION. APPEAL FOR LOCAL EFFORT. I The Carnarvonshire Agricultural Education Committee met at Carnarvon on Saturday to further consider proposals for garden and allotment cultivation in order to increase the food supplies of the country, so as to mini- mise possible shortage during the next win- ter season. After full discussion the commit- tee decided to issue an appeal, the gist of which is given below, to the managers and teachers of every school in the county, who are requested to appeal for co-operation to farmers, smallholders, and allotment holders, and to endeavour to secure the co-operation .ilso of parish councils. The appeal opens with the statement that it may be considered as highly probable that before many months are passed there will be a considerable deficiency in the food supply of this country." 11?htyis now most urgently needed is the establishment or ex- tension of kitchen gardens and the planting of potatoes and other vegetables, which should be done without delay in consequence of the period of the year. The committee, therefore, suggests that in each locality there should be formed a School Gardens Supplies Committee, and is prepared to place at the di-posal of such committees the best expert advice and to assist them in every possitfle way. The committee further appeals to land- owners and farmers to set aside suitable land for this purpose. The committee also sug- gest that parish councils and school authori- ties could take up land for allotment and sub-let it to persons who are prepared to undertake its cultivation. Teachers in inter. mediate and secondary schools could render valuable assistance, as 'there are probably many parents and boys who had recently left school and not yet fully employed, who would willingly work under the direction of the teachers. Supplies of seed and artificial manure and seedlings may be obtained from the County Education Office, Carnarvon, where orders should be sent before the 10th of March. Advice and information will be freely given by the staffs of the Agricultural Department of the University College of North Wales, Bangor, and the Madryn Castle Farm School. Communications should be addressed to Pro- fessor R. G. White, Bangor or Principal R. H. Evans, Madryn, near Pwllheli.
