IA COMMON ERROR. I
A COMMON ERROR. I About the Digestion, Many people so far misunderstand the digestive system an to treat it like a machine; neglecting it until it works sluggishly, then irritating it into work again. The stomach certainly needs ihelp at times, but a study of the process of digestion will show that purgatives, as commonly taken, are seldom racessarv. To safeguard your digestion the diet must be controlled. Over-eating is al- ways harmful, but one must assimilate enough food to supply the needs of the blood. Remember, the blood has to ..carry nourishment all over the body, find fuel for its energy, and defences against its enemies, as well as the requisite juices for digestion. Hence, when the blood becomes weak and fails to do its work, indigestion arises; also, when indigestion begins the blood suifers. Therefore, the treatment of indigestion and stomach- sluggishness demands something more effective than purgatives. If you suffer from any form of indiges- tion choose your diet carefully and take wholesome nourishment. -^bove all, start building up your blood by taking a course of Dr. Williams' pink pills. Then, under the influence of the regenerated blood, your digestive system will resjxmd naturally, your appetite will improve, and your food will do you good. Digestive debility has often resulted from the use of purgatives, but only benefit can accrue from regenerating the blood. Miss F. Fox, of 25, Dutton-street, Blackhcath Hill, London, S.E., states: For a long time I suffered the tor- tures of indigestion. Food caused ex- cruciating pains in the chest, flatulence ■ and water-brash almost invariably fol- lowed everything I ate, and made me feel right down ill. 1 dieted myself, but the lightest of foods upset me, and I suffered such agonies that eventually I had to give up Eolid food. Eo Still there was no improvement. 1 became low-spirited and nervous, and my system got into a terribly weak s' -1?. I tried many kinds of medicines, but they did me no good. Then I happened to read of a person "iifferiilg like myself having bcou cured by Dr: Williams' pink pills, and I re- solved to give them a trial. After I had been taking the pills a 'little while I noticed an improvement, find the pains grew less. I continued with Dr. pink pills, and my appetite began to get keen. I found that I could take solid l'ood witu- out suffering pain after or being troubled with flatulence and heartburn. "Jy health mended wonderfully. I became brighter, had more ngour, and, felt a new interest in life. Now I feel splendid in every way. and always recommend Dr. Williams pink pills." Begin Dr. 'Williams' pink pills now. You can obtain them of any dealer, but ask for Dr. Williams', and avoid sub- stitutes. FlnE.

MORE INSPECTORS. Swansea Food Control Suggestion. I "Arising out 0", a, report to the SWfmsea food Committee of a sequence of alleged overcharging in the price of meât, Mr. J. Powlosland asked how often the Food Inspectors visitf-4 .shops. The Town Clerk replied that they could not expect an Inspector to call on every shop in an area of 24,000 acres. In this case there were 32 alleged offences from October Sth to November 14tlx Mr. Powlesland said there ought to be a keener and cleaner system adopted if they desired it to be in any way effective. In answer to further questions, the Town Clerk said that the Inspector had the right 10 examine books as far back as he desired. Mr. Powlesland suggested an increase in the staff of inspectors. The matter was then dropped, and a decision was a-ived at to prosecute in this, and other alleged offences.

IFor the Ladies.I
For the Ladies. I Making a Pretty Neck. I bliy girls suddenly removed from the ardours of war work into a whirl of social events and occasions have been horrified at the first reflection of themselves in evening dress. Bones, hollows, and dips, the result of the strain duty devolved upon them, replace shapely necks. Time, of course will improve the deficiency. but a speedier resort will be discovered in eelf-massoge. Only two manipulations are employed in the latter stroking and pinching actions to be applied firmly but wibhal gently and softly. Each treatment should last half a.n hour and be given about five times weekly. Pinching is applied with the finger-tips and stroking with the palms of the hand. THE PROCESS. I Good cold crto almond or olive oil and soft towels should be at hand. Before the beginning of the operation the neck should be thoroughly washed with pure soap and hot waltera necessary prepara- tion, as it starts the circulation. A com- fortable cha-ir in front of the mirror should to taken, and the "patient" should then relax. Cold cream or oil should then be rubbed over the neck with the tips of the fingers. One should be careful not to press on the larynx. Then, with the thumb and index finger of the right hand, the soft muscles over the hollows of the' left side should be pinched and rolled gently. Simultaneously the middle finger should bo slid along the muscle without removing the finger. All the flabby or soft muscles should be thus covered, and the right side of the neck should be at- tacked in similar manner. The process should bo continued until the masseuse has visibly brought the blood to the parts she has worked. A -woman's crowning glory is with- out doubt her hair, and we can, one and all of us. achieve the goal of our desires if we give our hair that thought and attention which is only its due. A good head of hair is the simplest thing on earth to acquire. The most important thing of all is to mako the blood circu- late over the scalp, otherwise your hair will become lifeless, dull and thin. There are two ways of feeding the hair. I First of all you should brush it for quite ten minutes every morning if possi ble- because at night one is apt to be too tired and then there is the danger of a "lick and a promise "-with a suitable brush. Brush it each day until your head begins to glow, and you can throw all the lotions and tonics you possess out of tho window, as your hair will not only grow in beauty but in length also. The second thing is, having brushed it, to massage the skin beneath firmly with the tips of the fingers, and, if you do use a daily tonic, which as a matter of fact is quite a good habit, now is your time, as the brushing will have cleared the skin of all those dead par- ticles which it is constantly throwing off and which clog the pores up unless renewed. Remember when massaging that the blood vessels which feed the hair are at the base of the skull, so you should work upwards. With J gard to washing, this should be done every fort- night, net only for the sake of tbe hair but also the complexion—for unless the skin of the head is kept free from grease the complexion can never be right.

BY UNCLE JOHN I I am snowed under by the batches I of riddles still coming in, so I hopo some of you will once more kindly turn your attention to smart sayings by chil- dren," and storyettes, as well asspoetry. Here is a nice little assortment from the winner of the first prize for the essay on the Two Minutes' Silence," so I will give it you in full:— 89, Mansel-street, Swansea, Nov. 23, 1^19.—Dear Uncle John,—I am writing to you thanking you sincerely for the 5s. vhich I received this morning. I am both pleased and surprised that my little essay should win first prize. 1 intend to send some jokes and Storyettes.—Again thanking you, I remain, your loving niece, Margery Williams. ) THE FORGOTTEN PASS-WORD. I Here is a good, storyette:— An old Irishman with an old cab and an older looking horse was plying in the streets of Dublin when he \tas called upon by a gentleman to catch a train which was to start in about ten minutes. The following is the dialogue:— The driver: I am afraid I cannot do it, sir, because my cab is ramshackle, and I am afraid the old horse wouldn't do it, for you see, sir, he is an old Army horse, and couldn't do the journey in the time." Then said the gentleman: An old Army horse is he? Well, I am an old Army major myself; let me get on to the box and drive him." The driver was willing, ami got into the cab. while the major, mounting the hox; took up the reins and called out" Attention." The old horse cocked his ears and seemed to pull him- self together. Then came the command of "Charge." and to the surprise of (1](, driver there was such a racing through the streets that Li,ev, i, to the. station villi a few nnrnfOs lû spBTe, pnll'iTig up. at the word Halt." The Major paid well for his (rip, leaving the old Irish- man gaping at his horse with very open eyes, when he was again accosted by a gentleman in a hurry to catch the boat at the jetty. I'll risk it." says the driver, and putting the gentleman in the cab. mounted the box, calling out Af- tention. The old horse stiffens up; then Charge." and again pell-mell through tho streets on to the jetty, from which the boat is -just sheering off. and beyond lav the open sea, but the old driver, ivovr white excited, shouted to his passenger, Jump for the love of Heaven, I can't stop him; rve forgotten the pass-word." THAT BRYNHYFRYD EGG STORY. I 89, Eaton-road, Brynhyfryd, Swansea.— Dear ITncle John.—I take great interest in the Children's Corner," so I thought I would send in a joke and a riddle. Pome time ago a teacher was ratlier in difficulty as to how he should find room for his class, so he put all the hoys in their places, when another boy came in lute, and thera. was no room for him, so lie was told to sit on a bench beside the teacher. Sit down for the present," said the teacher. At noon the class had all gone home except the late boy. The | master went out thinking that the hoy had been told to stay in, and to his amazement on returning, he received this reply to his query as to how the boy was staying there: Please sir, you told me to sit here for the present, sir, and I'm waiting for the present, sir." RIDDLE. I A gentleman asked a little girl one day, Which is correct—The yoke of an egg is white;, or tl10 yoke of an egg are white?" The girl's reply was, H The yoke of an egg is white." Wrong," said the man, because the yoke of an egg is yellow. ^^r,pi^ JjpTO.P.ri^har(1 jfegsd ):0' -<< t °

f VICAR'S LECTURE. I O Dip Into Waste Paper I Baskets of Egypt. Î ——— I At the Public Library en Saturday evening (lie Rev. Harrington C. Lees. ,I,I.A., N,iear of Swansea, delivered a most interesting lecture on Sidelights on Social Conditions in the Days of the Early Church" to a very large attend- ance, Alderman David Griffiths, J.P., in the chair. Mr. Lees, who gave a most helpful and timely lecture, used as the Ina terial for his sidelights what he called" the waste paper baskets of Egypt "-the papyri and clay tablets from which our knowledge of the social, political, and religious life of tho world comes. History IXJoks oniy give us dry bones, but newspapers and private letters give us those dry bones clothed, and tho papyri and clay tablets of the ancients were the newspaper and letters of the day. Therefore, said Mr. Lees, he would use tho private letters of Egypt— some of them dealing with the years before Christ-for his sidelights. In these early letters or postcards, written on papyri and clay, we found that the political and social life was much as that of to-day. Poor rate papers, census papers —people had the same chance of. making mistakes in their ages as to-day-writs" distraints, birth and marriaffe certificates, and a thing we would like to see the end of, the pawn ticket, was in use in those early days. Alien tax papers, tenants' receipts, which recorded I have received from," income tax papers, which certified I ifave kept nothing back," were found in these waste paper baskets. One letter quoted was to the Chief Con- stable of Alexandria, asking him to find < dianfiSvjaite. the writer was giving, uia awo leveling the constable to capture a run-awaj slave, who was described as heing one of my bodies." Arts we much better to-dav. i asked Mr. Lees, when we describe our j .'orkmpn as hands? i Some very human and interesting doci- I ments were read which showed that the ) ancients hud mall v such interests as we have to-day. One document dealt with food control, and wat a list of prices above which certain articles of food must not be sold. TJie spar vow was marked down at one iarthing-n striking com- men tar v on the words of Christ. The various documents road showed that the citizen of those early days had the good of his city at heart. lie cared for the best. th iug:" of the city. If they were good lie went for them, not because, as is the tendency to-day, that his party wanted them, but because they were good. The economic side of the early days was spoken of. and a contrast made between two documents, one for a weaver's ap- prentice, who was to receive X10 per year for his services, and tho other, which contracted to pay some ballet girls at the rate of £ 30 per Aveek for amusing the citizens. Pleasure-makers were letter paid than were workers, a state of things which is truo to-day.
