Kltys 10vans, with the Clerk (Mr Robert Jones). A rc[n>rt on the hospital sewerage works was sub- mitted liy an engineer who had been employed by the Board. He suggested certain improvements, and It was decided to communicate with the Local Govern. mcnt Hoard with a view to obtaining their approval to the work. The louder of Messrs E. B. Jonea and Co. was áe. ecpted for a two months' supply of! bread at 2id per 4b. The Cicrk reported that during the heavy gale ex- perienced recency the rain was forced through the closed windows and doors of the tuberculosis and ob- servation wards owing to the exposed position of the hospital- A report was submitted detailing a scheme which, if adopted, would prevent a recurrcaco of this, and it was resolved that as it was a matter of ur- concy the Visiting Committee should meet at the ..Pit.tl without delay with power to sanction any im- provements. Ifhe porter at the hospital was granted an increase Of 4s weekly in his wages. The Clerk reported that the net credit balanco on the genepf*' account after paying bills amounting to SE465 was JC531. On the loan account there was a debit I)alan ce orjC436. The sums due to the Board for tuaiiileitaiice and other charges amounted to L263, HOSPITAL CHARGES.

By far the best way to do this is to CARRY a box of Peps, and now and again let one of these little Tablets dissolve in the mouth.

EXCITING SCENES AT I CARDIFF. m. PEACE MEETING ROUTED. I 1-1 1', I r?- I lite loyalists ot uaraiit, on ea-turaay aiternoon, administered a rough and ready defeat to the pacifists of South Waits and Monmouth, aug- mented by Mr Ramsay MacDonald, M.P., and a few other outsiders, that should send the peace peddlers into hiding for a long time. A groat demonstration of protest against holding the meeting was held in Cathaya Park, arranged by a representative committee, of which Mr Robert Hughes, J.P., was chairman, Captain Athertey JorijM) and All- E. W. Poooch secretaries. Mr Ramsay MacDoniid-, white and anxious, had berai watching the doors of the Cory Hall from his seat on the platform. Immediately it became apparent that the advance guard of the opposition, Led by Mr C. B. Stanton, the Welah miliars' M.P., was coming in Mr Ramsay MacDonald fled. He was off the plat form in an insfcamfc and through a side door, of which he had apparently made earlier acquaintance. followed ofoaely by Mr F. W. Jowett, M.P., he darted along tho back of the hall, and, With many a backward gtanoa over his shoulder, down a narrow thoroughfare called Edward-street. The pacifists, about 350 in number, women, as well as men of military age, and calling them- selves the Nat.io.nal Council for Civil Liberties, had been in "conference" about fifty minutes when the invasion before which Mr Ramsay Mao Dona Id fled began. Describing the scene insioo Oory Hall, speoial oorresponderit of the Western Mail says:- "Mr James Wip-stone, J.P., the chairman, held his ground for a. time, and showed his teeth befono he also quitted his chair. It was only when Captain Tupper planted himself firmly on tho table, and Mr C. B. Stanton, M.P., jumped on one of the platform ti,e.ra and shouted, with stentorian voioe, for" Thrroo cheers for Old Eng- land, my boys," that Mr Winstone really winced. He then turned, with fire in his eyes_ to his old opponent, and almost ev&ryone in th audience stood still for a few moments to take in the scene. Mr Stanton's broad countenance broke out into an exasperating Another-viotory-won" kind of smile, and, whils-t keeping his wca-her eye on Mr Winstone, he saaitg sniatdhes of "God save the King" and "Rule Britannia," as if possessed. Around him wore stalwart supporters waving the Union Jack and other allied flags, and pand'emon/ium, real, confusing, exciting pande- monium, prevailed. Mr J. H. Thomas, M.P., seemed to be passed unnoticed by those forcing their way on to the platform benches and forcibly ousting their for- mer occupants. In tho mefo on the platform he did not have much attention until he tried to take Captain Tupper and Mr Stanton in hand with the proposal that tlhey should agree to ad- dress the crowd for ten minutes each, lie to be the last speaker. "Oh, no, you don't," was Mr Stanton's chilly rejoin.der. "The meeting is ours; ckar out," was Captain Tupper's reply. "One young fellow, with face half-washed, bearing the marks of the pit, pushed himself up to me, and, in the rolling and thumping mass of shouting, singing, ana delighted mass of humanity, said, I see you are a newspaper chap. Look hare, old man, te-ll them that there are some Brummagem colliers here. Me and my pals just managed to catch the train for Cardiff in order to have a little hand in stopping this peace nonsense." He was laughing delightedly the while. "We know what's going an in your Welsh colliery districts with these peace chaps, and we are sick of it." m. THE ONE-ARMED WARRIOR. W liein Laptaui Tuppor put to the excited viotors a resolution., that the meeting which was attempted to be held lictre had not the sympathy of the citizens of Cardiff," it waa carried with a tremendous burst of cheering, but a peace dele- gate, a lusty chap, who had been valorous enough to remain, shouted his defianoe. Like a d-art there jumped off the platform a dapper little fellow, with only one all-m-and that his left— who caught the interrupter a swinging blow which made him reel, and there were plenty im- mediately at hand to switch him unceremoniously outside. When Mr Stanton called far oheem, few "our boys in the trenches" another delegate —there must have been several still present, hid/ing their ident,ity-was foolish enough to Shout ba.ok some disparaging remark. Onoe again the little one-armed man appealed from aomewhea-e behind the chairman's table and like a diart he waa at his marie, who fell, a wiser man. The open-air into which be was evicted with no !oae of time must have beined him to recover his MJMea. It transpired that the one-armed man was Sergeant Mather, late of the Durham Light "Infantry, a resident of Cardiff, who received his injuries at Hooge. "I have my fabher and a SOIl in the trenches," he exclaimed, "and I have left my arm in Flanders, and I am if I am going to listen to these rotters without letting them know what I think of them." Later in the day he was introduced to a. galtllmng of about 10,000 Cajrdiffians in Cathays Park as the '^littdia wonder" who had floored a few of the city's unwelcome visitors, and he had a great ovation.

COLONEL CAMPBELL, V.C. I ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION AT OSWESTRY. 1 Colonel J. V. Campbell, the hero of tho famous charge of the Coldstreamers at the Battle of the Somme, whose gallant exploit on that occasion gained him the coveted V.C., returned to his homo at Oswes- try on short leave from the front on Saturday night, and was accorded an enthusiastic "reception by the huge crowds lining the streets, notwithstanding the late hour of his arrival. Contrary to expectation, Col. Campbell alighted from the Zulu express at Gooowon. and completed his journey to the Border town by motor. He was met by Mrs Campbell, Major Edward LonguevUle, also of the Coldstream Guards and a brother of Captain FranciB Longueville, who won the D.S.O. on the same occasion as Colonel Campbell the V.C.; tho Rev. Rossendalo Lloyd, brother of Major General Sir Francis Lioyd, commanding the London district and Mrs Lloyd. the platform was filled by a. dense crowd of ad- mirers, while at the borough boundary, which was packed, Colonel Campbell's car was brought to a stand, still amid deafening cheering and loud cries of "Talily Rol" above all of which was distinguished the faint musical sounds of a hunting horn. At one time so enthusiastic was the demonstration that it appeared as if the motor car would be lifted bodily from the ground, but eventually silence foKowed cries for a speech. With characteristic modesty Colonel Camp- bell replied "Thank you. It was my lads that did it To them is all the credit." GraduaKy his admirers gave way, and as the cai gained the outer edge of the crowd it speeded off like a fox breaking cover, men, women, and children join. ing in a chase characteristic of pursuing hounds. A similar demonstration awaited Colonel Campbell iD the centre of the town, and it was only after consider able difficulty that he reached his hom-o.

EEL BLINDS BETTWS. I WHY THE ELECTRIC LIGHT WENT OUT. I The machinery at the Bettwsycoed Electricity Works suddenly ceased operations on Thursday evca. ing, with the result that the villig-e was temporarily thrown into darkness. By the aid of the accummula. tors, however, the current was resumed, much to the relief of the residents. On the Cd-lowing day Mr Targett, the Engineer, undertook a thorough inspec- tion of the machinery, with the result that the tail of an nuusually hig eel was observed to hove blocked the valve where the water—the motive power-set the machinery in motion. When the eel was extricated from the main water pipe it was found to be 4i feet in length and weighing over lOlbs. How it ever entered the main pipe remains a mystery, as the grating through which the water flows from Eteie Lako into the pipe is far too small to acoommodate such a large body. It is conjectured that it has been living in the main since it was first laicl and connected with the lake years ago, and had ultimately sue. cumbed to the want of food.

THE NATIONAL MISSION. I "TIMES OF TERRIBLE HOPE AND I SPLENDID RESPONSIBILITY." ROUSING CALL BY THE BISHOP OF I ST. ASAPH. in tho diooesa of St. Asaph ChUIOOPOOP':o are looking forward with much cagsrrvcss to the National Mission of Rcpentanoe and Hope. The Bishop has addrcased a stirring letter to the clergy and laity of the d'iooess, in which he cinpiM.Hjses the need for such a mission in view of past indifference. Is thero not," ho asks, "at this mom-ent a very special call for repcnta-nco when we re- member past yeam-how the 32itso of God's presence seemed to grow more dim and remote; how thoughtlessly wo oeascd to recognise Him in our national life, in tlho ooucahon of our children, in our sctliemes of social reform, a.U aimed at making proplo more comfortable a.ad prosperous, with littla or no thought or oaro for enriching and inspiring our national life with the noblest ideals." "The Mission appeals to me," ElWys t-he Bishop in a later passage, "not as a revival-cry stirring heart and feeding for a, space, but aa a desiro to persevere, to raise and koop raised, my own standard of oondiuot in thought, word and deed." "The times through whioh we arJ png," the Biehop adds, "arc a day of visHa?on. They are timca of terrible hope and splendid responsi- bility. While our hearts respond to the call of repenta-nco and hope, that repentance is mad I more intense, and that hope maoo IItronr, when we recollect all that we have to thunk i God for—the SPIRIT OF UNITY THAT THRILLS THE I I WHOLE EMPIRE. I the marvedtous calm now in which the darlvart hours of anxiety have been faced, the eagerness witth which the whole nation have come forward to help, and tho immortal heroism with which our BOllS have gone forth ready to ma.ko the supreme sacrifice. My hopa and prayer is that the call of these tremendous times will not fall on listless oars, and that the war, and tho war conditions, may in God's good Providence be the moans of helping us to a nobler, a purer, and a more unselfish life." The Vicar of Colwyn Bay (Rev. Lewis Pryoc) writes:—"Ifc is a very giieait help and enooura.ge- mant to know that others Dire praying for the success of tho effort of the Nwt-oti:al Mi,,w,,on in this pa.rish. I have received an exosedSng-ly kind and sympathetic lot/ter to that effect from the Røv. Thomas Uoyd, English Comgr&gationai minister."

The services in the daytime were hold in St. James Ohurch and in t113 evening in St. Pet ear's. On Saturd.vy a very impressive service for men was he'd under the a,uspicea of the C.E.M.S.

On Simdav afternoon the Holywell Company of the V.T.C., held a church parade and marolied down to the Parish Ohuroh, oooupying seaits in the south ohance!. There was a largo congrega- tion and th.o service was suitabe to the occa- sion. The Rev. Pell Edwards, m tine course of his mission, dealt, with the 'call for repentance and the message of hope, with eloquence and force. I VICAR OF CHIRK ON THE CALL. lilie Rov. E. Worthington Powell, vioar ot Ohirk, baa this week delivered addresses at Flint, Halkyn, Rhosyoae, Connah's Quay, and Holy- well (Holy Trinity Church). In the course of his aadresB he said ho conceived the call of the Nabiotnal Mission to be a. call -to make our coun- try a bettor country. The war had reve-aled to us how much good there is in our country, the existence of Which we hardly suspected. That the fact of thea-e being eo much good is both the ground of our desire to make it better and a soutroe ef confidcnce, and that it is possible, with God's help, to do so. We want. to give the good that is in our nation every opportunity of bring-ntg forth the perfect fruit which it is cap- able of producing," said the speaker. "We wish, therefore, to improve its environment and remove the hindrances which impede the free exercise of the good qualities of oUlr raoe. We want to give the good in us, as individuals, and as a nation, a. chance. Just as the leaders in education and comrneroo are planning for the future of Britain a.fter the wa.r, so are the leaders in the Ohurch makins their preparation. They are calling on Churehpeople to realise that there is only ono thing which can make any plans for a loetter Britain permanently effective, 4.nd that is the Gospel of Chrict-no new remedy-but a moro vigorous application of the odd one whioh wo have for too long neglected. "The Gospel of Chni-ih is tho power of Gcd unto salvation to every one that believeth." Of that Gospel we must not be ashamed, but believing that thero is no limit to it-s saving power, and that no department of our national life is outside its range, we must resolve by a more faithful! appli- o-aition of it in our own individual life. and by more courageous witness to it in our public life to bring to the solution of our natncnail pro- blems the help which the teachin.g of Christ can alford, and approach them in the spirit not of selfish interests cf party or class or sex, bu'b of Christian brotherliness, If through repentance of our paah failures we can bo brought to a dhange of aim and outlook, then we can look to the futuro with hope." At the several places visited bv Mr Powell a deep impression has been created, and the at- tendances at the several cervices, whioh were ever on the inoreaso, indicated the depth of in- terest which is being roused in the movement.

MOTHER! IF YOUR CHILD'S I TONGUE IS COATED. IF CROSS, FEVERISH, CONSTIPATED, BILIOUS, AND THE STOMACH OUT OF ORDER, GIVE "CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS." A laxative to-day saves a bilious child to- morrow. Children simply will not take the t,ime from play to empty their bowels, which become olagg^d up with waste; then the liver grows sluggish, and the stomaoh is dis- ordered. f( &b tho tongue, mother! If coate(L or your dhild is listless, cross, feverfel^ with tasted brenlt11, doesn't eat hearmy, or haa a cold, aom thma,t, or any cth&r oMIdtMn's ail- ment, pive a, tea .spoonful of "California &yrup of Figs," tihen don't worry, because it i3 a perfectly harmless dose, and in a few hours all this ooin- stipa,tion-n, souir bile and fermenting waete- matter will gently move out of the bowels, and you will lia .,ro a healUhy, playful child again. A thorough "inside cloansing" is oft-times all that is necessary. I t should be the first treatment given in any siokness. Ask your chemist for a bottle of "California Syrup of Figa," whiah lias fuH directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups -plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that, it is made by the California. Fig Syrup Company." All Beading chemists sell California Syrup of Figs" at Is 3d and 2s per bottle. Refuao substitutes.

— s CI-IARGES AGAINST CARNARVON LICENCEE DISMISSED. NO EVIDENCE TO JUSTIFY CONVICTION. At tho Carnarvon IkxKnigu Folico Court on Monday, before the Mayor (Mr Chaivu A. Jonas). Messrs Richard Thomas, W. Haider and R. Griffith, the police changed Mrs iiiza-beth ('on!an, Commoroial Hotel, with permitting drunkenai-css and selling drink to a drunken per- son. Mr W. R. Hughes (Messrs Hughes and P?. Nct, defcii Dew) proeecLitcd, a.nd Mr M. K. Nee defen-died. It was stated that a soldier named I-ynoh, wiho, it wad alJeged, had been served at tihe Commercial IIcttci. was afterwards seen the worsd for drink at his kxiigings, Lloyd's Tcmneranco, I aaid ho was found tho next mo mi rag dead in I the street, having fallen through the window. John Tithe, a fitter living at Lloyd's Tem- perance. Baneor-street, gave cvidenicio that, lie called at the Cbmmorcfcd Hotel on Ootcsbor 26tli •shortly atfter 7 p.m. In tihe hair witoces sarnr n. soldier with a glass of boor before him. At 9.30 pIn. he saw tha same soldier, w'lio he discovered to be John Lynoh. of the Royal Field Artillery, at Lloyd's Temperance, and he was then drunk. Mr Nco in crocs-examination ascertained from the witness that he wiais of military age. I notice you are not in khaki ?-That has ivothimg to do with tlw caeo. 1 am the best judge of that.. P.C. J. Richard Rcjberts said that on the evening in question he was on duity by the I Guild IhH rn saw ¡Jynch "wobbling" up the eitaire of the Hall. Ho was in a drunken con- (iirion. -LA!,Iy next mcirning witness round the dead hod:y of Lyncth in (¡he street. Cioaa-examined: Witness did not mention at the inquest on Lynch that he was drunk at the Guild Hall; he was not asked the question. John Ddhorty, Bangor, a S1at.e cleaner at Messrs Flelolior's. deposed that Lynch, on the evening in question, asked witness to accom- pany him to the Commercial. When inside, Lynch handed witness ia rr-rlit of beer. He did not know who paid for the beer, but he believed it was Lynch. Lynch inias not drunk; he was talking and walking right enough, but he was under the influence of drink. Mr Neo: You would not say he was drunk? --TTo was not drunk. Sapper John Evans, billeted at Lloyd's Tem- pera, noe, was calVdl to show that at 9.20 p.m. oil OcCofoor 26th Lynch ,irpe-.trodto be nnder the innuonoa o? drink. Witness could net 6ay he iliflueti,c,e o! drink. Witii-7ca oc,,jl d n c(t say he Tho Mayor I do not quite know the difference between a man under the influence of drink and a man who is drunk, though it might be a. queotion of degree. Sarah Eilizaibeth Willis, Lloyd's Temperance, slated thait at 9.20 p.m. on October 26th Lynch was drunk. Ijynah told Iher he was getting married the following day and wna going to the frees; the following Monday. Mr Nee: Ho was a iittlo excited. I suppose. Was k dio to the love affair or the fact that he was goirv* aw,ay ?—I don't know. Mr Nee, for the defence, contended tlicit there viae not a tittLe of evidence to suppoat the charge of selling drink Jo a drunken person. Tho Mayor, after consulting his col leagues, t aid the Bernah we.ro not satisfied that there had been a eaSe to a drunken person. "I do not know whotho:- you lihink it is any use proceeding wOth the other diarge, permitting drunkenness," he- added. Mr Hutches: My instructions .are to go on with it. The Mayor: I do not see that the resuit can bo any different. Sergeant Owen stated that he called at the Commercial Hotel and told Mrs ConLan that ha was thero no the result, of what was disposed wt the inquest on Lyndh. Mrs Cootlan replied, "Tho man was not drunk here." Sapper Foyster. billeted ait Lloyd's Temper- ,anco. deposed that, Q.t 9.20 p.m. on October 26th he saw Lynch, who was the worse far dirink. Orcee-examlned Lyrudh seemed "rather a queer chap. He had been dbroad and appeared to bo Buffer ing from a foreign disease. Mrs Conlan seated thait Lynch called at tihe Commercial Hotel between 7 and 8 o'clock, had a glass of beer, and spoke aibout going to the Pictures. He left at 8.10 p.m. when he ap- peared to be all right. Aibouft 9 o'clock Lynch caffled zizain with Bt/berttiy, and h3 was supplied with a pint of beer. There wias nothing in his condition to prevent him being supplied. Miss Sally Dobtoins, s'slfcer af the Last witness, said that I/ynoh first cailled at the hotel about 8 o cJook and had one glass of beer. Between 8.30 and 9 P.m. he oa/Jed tTain aittl ooked for a pint of beer, for whidh he paid. Ha was t--or- feotly sober. Both Lyndh and Daherty called for a pint or beer, and caoh paid for his own war. The Mayor said the Bench were of opinion tha.t the evidence did not justify a cemviotioo.. but ait the same time they ware not surprised that tihe police had taken proceedings in the interest of everybody eomoerood. It was de- »ira.l}!e that the matbtor should be dleired UP. Mr Nee said he ihad throo wiltmasses who were on the premises at. the time, orad also a military I potioemam who aw Lyniph at 9 p.m. that rigg-, all off which evidenaa would prove that tha nuain was sober at that hour. -« ■

I tried Doctors and have also been in the hospital, but they did me no good at all, so at last I thought I would try your Wonderful Medicine, and only wish I had done so years ago; it would have saved me a little fortune, as I have had to lay up weeks at the time with them, and as soon as I got about they would broke down again. Now I am so very pleased, and more than thankful, to say I have not got one place epen on my leg. It was most interesting to watch them dry and heal up, besides taking the awful pain away. I now enjoy a walk in the ccu itry, which I have not been able to do for a good many years. When my friends have seen my leg they all say what valuable medicine 1 Clarke's Blood Mixture' must be as at one time my leg was nothing but ulcers from the ankle to the thick part of my leg above the knee. I tell all my friends about it as I cannot praise it enough."
