!N THE EARLY. SPRING. i Take Stock of Your Health. j It, Ijkc- many more people, yon have j lost weight and flesh during the winter] months; if the itrst spring days find you < pale and easily tired by slight exertion, I you arc in need of a tonic NOW. Do not ) delay. Do not wait until you are really ill, hut rebuild your system, debilitated J by Colds, influenza, and other winter ail- ments. liegain what you have lost during the pact; winter. Get a reserve of strength if II iK>?'sible. See to it that yon do hot lose each winter a little unro than you pick Uri or you will iind yourself becoming ¡' an invalid. Anemia, or thin blood, is one of the most insidious of diseases. It weakens the patient eo gradually that its progress is not noticed imtil it has developed to a dangerous stage. Ixiok in the mirror; it docvs, not lie.' If you are less rigorous than you werL, this time> last year admit it to yourself, and take the right remedy now. This condition of health is rapidly cor- rected by a course of Dr. Williams' pink pills, because they enrich the thin blood in your system, strengthen the organs of; the body, and help to throw off poisonous impurities so that the patient promptly gets well. At the&HllÜ time the nervous system is ted and fort itied by the new. rich blood that flows through your veins. and there is a general improvement in Jour colour and appearance. Mrs. Jane I itzpatnek, of H, Upper Cross-street., Halifax, gives an account of how the overcame inlluenza's effects. "I -a dill. and it led to in- fltienza." she said to a reporter. When the fever had run its course I was left too weak to even turn in bed without hdp. Day after day I laid there, feelitig as if my tiff) was clipping away. I could ,r) i nt- away. I cl)tild only swallow tiny sips of milk and water. for my digestion was too weak to take solid nourishment. Often I fainted, and any sudden noise made me tremble and break out in cold perspiration. Doctors did what they could, but medicine seemed no help. Mother often said 'that I did not look like leaving my bed. and certainly the dreadful weakness was mastering rue. But a neiglilvur advised mother to give mc: Dr. Williams' pink pills. Mother got a eupply, and gave me the pills regularly. "In a short time a sense of hunger I greTr on me, and I needed more substan- tial food. Then T grew stronger and stronger, and my blood was richer, In. deed, before long I was strong enough to get up and g> out. .( I continued taking Dr. Williams' pink pills regularly, and my cure went steadily ahead Until 1 wax strong and II well. Altogether the pills mad* quite a happy changft in my health, strength, and activity, and I never miss a chance of recommending Dr. Williams' pink pills, for they saved my life." Dr. Williams' pink pills also cured Mr. John Fitzpatrick, husband of the above lady, of nervous debility. A constant feeling of weariness troubled him, and his appetite failed. On the recommen- dation of a friend he tried Dr. Williams' pin* pills, and was completelv cured. The best time to begin Dr. Williams' pink pills is to.-clar go to any dealer for a supply, and say von want Dr Williams' 0fsPee,'d interest is the little Health /G.uid1 e offered free to anv reader who sends a postcard request for a copy to Look Dept., 46, Holborn Viaduct, London, E.C.

STRIKE ECHOES. Swansea Electricity Commit. I tee and D.O.R.A. I At theSwanse-a. Electricity Committee's meeting: on Thursday, there were echoes of the recent strike of corporation .clerks. An application was read from a works employe for an increase in wages. He had been in the department eleven years, bt, ietclc-d, and the last increase was six years ago. The Electrical Engineer OfT, W. Burn pointed out that this meant thrft the base rate had ?pt advanced during that period he had received all the war increases. Applicant had returned from the Allniv disabled, and was doing a different job i11 tho same department (in which there had been no promotion in his absence), and. while he could not alter one man's ba,'o rate and not the others, there, would have toO We a shuffle round, and in this I he would see whether he could ilof, bp given a better position. The committee migh t r?st a?ured he would see no man, wounded or otherwise, su?er? in posi- tion through his absence in the Army. The mattCT was left with the chairman, vice-chairman, and engineer. O.O.R.A. ON LIGHT. I The Engineer, mentioning the recent clprk. strike, said his department: was different to any other, and, in his opin- ion, the men had no right to leave it. The Government had made regulations which made it illegal to strike at-electricity workg. The stations nld not be placed in jeopardy, for huge works were depen- dent on them. It was up to him" to keep the place going, and while he had nothing to say as to" thè quarrel, lie thought the TTnion ought to have left his department alone. Aid. James retorted that tbiswi-s an I official movement by the Clerks' Union, a.nd the Council were to be blamed for not I dealing adequately with it. If the engineer was going to victimise The Engineer: I am not going to vic- ti!'e "anvbndy. of course. I ??d. Jam? s?id if there was froubl e th? I clerks ought to to have come out en I The Engineer: And my place ohut jj down ? Ald. James: I)oWt worry about that. The responsibility is not yours. The Engineer: But it is on my shoulders. THE CLERICAL STAFF. I The Chairman read the regulation men- tioned. Lilie ralln- Ald. James: "But it doesn't apply to the clerical staff. The Chairman: That would be a matter for the law to decide. I cannot. The matter dropped.

j 'SHARI NG THE PLU'MS." I Carmarthen Council Fear More Officials. I » Carmarthen Town Council on l'hurs- I day considered a letter from the Cardiff City Council asking for support to retain for the Principality the statutory powers regarding health insurance which it now possessed aad to enable Wales to be given the same degree of outonomy in I health and insurance. Mr. David William?: Does that mean more officials? I move that the letter j lie laid on the table. Mr. J. Martin I conded. Mr, W. Dunn Williams, in. seconding an amendment by Aid. L. D. Thomas 1 that the Council support the rfesolfttioo. said he could not see why they could not help to make officials in Wales as well as at Westminster. I do not see wby we in Wales should not have a share of these plums, if plums they are," lie j added. Mr. Oliver Jones: Who will have to pay for the? Mr. Dnnn Williams: We will hafe to pay for them. I prefer to pay a Welsh- man or a brother than a stranger, although it is selfish perhaps. Surely we can manage these Welsh affairs better from Cardiff than from London. Mr. Oliver Jones-. There are too many officials now. You can see how things are going on in this country; they are all officials. 'Everyone seem# to be. looking out for a soft job. The motion that the letter he laid oil. j the table vas carried by a large majority.
