Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble. FREE TREATMENT. Rheumatism is due to uric acid crystals in the joints and mnscltH, the result of excessive ucio acid in the system that the kidneys failed to remove as nature intended, and this acid is mostly the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, goat, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, and dropsy. The snccees of Eatora Tablets, for the treatment of rheumatism and other forms of kidney trouble, is dus to the fact that they restore the kidnsjs to healthy aoiion and thereby remove the cause of the trouble, which necessarily removes tha ill-Lfftcta that spring from it, and have cured numberless canes Bftor the failure of other remedies, which accounts for them last auper?edi?:»g out-of-date medisincs ,ha,- arc 8.d Cot a prrce beyond all but the wealthy aud so often fall short of tilk- wonderfol claiiua aiudo that caufidenoe b, been lost in tbwm.

TREDEGAR RENT AUDIT. j The End of an Old Custom. i Probably the last of the rent audit dinners in connection with the Breccnshire portion < of Lord Tredegar's estate took place at the Castle Hotel, Brecon, on Friday, when Mr H. F. W. Harries (one of the Breconshire agents) presided over a good attendance, and Mr R. H. Rosser occupied the vice- chair. An excellent dinner was provided by Miss Clark and her staff. Owing to the war, only the toast of The King was proposed, and it was enthusiasti- cally received. Subsequently Mr Harries said as that was probably the last of the rent audit dinners connected with the Breconshire portion of the Tredegar Estate, he would refer to a matter which was prominent in their minds, and that was the terrible war we were going through. It was being brought home to them on that estate very closely, because all of them knew that three of the tenants had sustained losses—Major Isaac, Mr Jones, late tepant of Lower House, and also Mr Lewis Jones had lost sons. And one of the employees, Mr Josiah Williams, who had been connected with the estate for a number of years, had lost his boy. He was sure that every one of them sympathised most sincerely with the families and also greatly appreciated the patriotism and self-sacrifice with which those men gave their lives for their country. A great number of men in the county had died in defence of their King and Country, and the chief man in the county, the Lord Lieutenant (Lord Glanusk), who was a large land owner and chairman of the County Council, had lost his second son. He (Lord Glanusk) was himself serving and he had two sons now serving, and three brothers. He would ask them to include all those in their sympathy. Referring to the National Registration, Mr Harries said that everyone who could do something for his country, and was between the age of 17 and 65, would have a chance. Of course, they in Breconshire were connected with an agri- cultural county, and there was no doubt that farmers had lost a great many of their hands, and it was very difficult, especially during the harvest time, to get men to carry on the work. The; had been pressed for men, and Breconshire had responded well to the call. And more men would be wanted for the Army, and skilled labour would have to be found to make up the supply of munitions. With reference to the recent sale of the Breconshire portion of the Tredegar Estate, Mr Harries remarked he had received a message from Lord Tredegar, to the effect that his lordship was greatly pleased that so many of his tenants had been able to buy i' their holdings and their farms. That was his lordship's wish from the start, and indeed it was the wish also of the estate agents, Mr Gilbert Thomas, Mr Rosser and himself. They were only too glad to be able to do anything for the tenants. Mr Gilbert Thomas was abroad with the BreekDocks, and he was sure regretted very much not being present at that dinner. If there was anything they could do for the tenants by way of advice or otherwise they as agents would be only too glad to do it. (Applause.) I He trusted that the kind and very pleasant relations which had existed between them in the past would continue throughout their lives. (Applause.)

Recruiting in Treoastle District. To the Editor of the County Times. Sir,-I was very much surprised to read itt last week's Treoastle Notes" by Novas Homo" that a certain, v iaister in that distriol is inclined to ask his yocig men friends to re- main at home and assist in the affairs of theli oharcb, ratber than volunteer their services to figbt the Hans. Sarely this cannot be right; if true, might I ask our ministerial friendwbat would happen to his beloved church should the German shells begin to drop in the district. Recruiting in the Trecastle district is bad enough as it is for our army, without having a German Recruiting Agent let loose among the local young men. August 17th, 1915. Yours, eto., Glan Login."

CAPE WINES AND BRANDIES. — The Cape Town Chamber of Commerce are issuing an interesting eeries of pamphlats dealing with irv'r^ja.l progress and potentialities of the Capo Peninsula. The latest issue deals with wine and brandy manufacture, in the course of which it is pointed out that Cape winee are made and eold under legislative regulations designed to ensure parity, more stringent thac aoy in the world, while Western Province brandy is the only brandy in the world which bas a State guarantee that it is made from the grape only. It is stated that an investigation made a few years ago shows that the oapital invested in the wioe farming in the Western Province amounted to almost £ 10,000,000, and the amount invested by merchants, exclasiva of the retail trade, was about £ 1,150,000.

a — u WHAT ECafiOMY MEANS. IFrom a pamphlet issued by the. Parlia- mentary War Savings Committee.] III. Every man, woman, and child in the Country who wants to serve the State and to win the war can do so by giving thought to the question of How to econo- mise food ? The great bulk of our food supplies comes from abroad. Vast sums of money have to be sent out of this country to pay for it,and \last numbers of ships and men have to be Constantly employed in carrying it. Every scrap of foot that is wasted, therefore, means a dead loss to the country in money, ships, and men. If spread over a year it would be found that millions of pounds had been absolutely lost in 'this way, and that many ships and men bad been making useless voy- ages when they were so badly needed by the country for other work. If all the food that is now being wasted Could henceforth be saved and properly URed, the country would have more spare money, more spare ships, and more spare men to devote to the war each family would have more money to save and invest, and the prices of food materials would be kept down. We can all help our country every day and every hour to gain these advantages by stopping all waste "f food in our homes. CHOOSE ECONOMICAL FOODS. There is another side of the food question in which every one of us can help to strengthen the position of our country in the face of the enemy. We can consume less of certain foods which are more difficult to obtain in full quantities in war time, and which, therefore, rise in price. In the case of some of these —meat, for example-we can replace them, in part at any rate, by other food materials which are cheaper and more plentiful. This Can be done without injury to health or strength in any way., For the proper nourishment of the body 'three classes of foods are required The first class are those whose chief use is to produce energy and supply the power to do work (as coal supplies energy to the steam engine). These are the starchy and sugary foods (including the cereals and vegetables, such as potatoes, etc.), and the fats (fat, butter, margarine, dripping, etc.). The second class are those whose chief use is to build the structure of the body and repair the waste of muscle, etc., which is constantly taking place. These are the nitro- genous foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, beans, peas, lentils, and the various kinds of nuts. The third class, which includes other vegetables and fruits, supply cer- tain salts and other substances which are necessary to the health of the body. These three classes of foods should all be Present in a well-balanced diet. By choos- Itg those foods which are cheapest and most plentiful in each of these three classes a well-balanced diet can be obtained at the least cost. It should be remembered that many foods which are mainly energy-pro- ducing, and are therefore placed in the first Of the above classes, also contain consider- able amounts of the nitrogenous or body- building materials which are the main char- acteristics of the food in the second of these classes. Many of the cereals are so com- posed, especially oats, and to a less extent wheat,. Where oatmeal porridge is eaten, therefore, still less meat will be required to make up a properly-balanced diet. EAT LESS MEAT. In ordinary times we get about half the meat which is consumed in this country from abroad. This is carried frozen in ships which have to be specially built for the pur- pose, and are, therefore, limited in number. Since the war began these ships have had to carry meat not only for our civic popula- tion and our own army, but for the French army. It has, therefore, been a difficult task to keep up the foreign meat supply,and some shortage of this must be expected to continue. It is this shortage which has raised the price of meat, and may lead to our Cows, which should be kept for milk, being killed for meat. This shortage of meat would disappear, the price of meat would fall, and our milk supply would no longer be threatened, if everyone were to eat less tneat than they have been accustomed to, especially if they were to include in their diet a fair proportion of food which can supply the same kind of nourishment as. meat. SUBSTITUTES FOR MEAT. Cheese is one of the best and most useful substitutes for meat. Weight for weight it contains more of this particular kind of Qourishmeiit than meat itself. Milk and skim milk also contain this form of nourishment in a high degree. Peas, beans and lentils also contain these Properties, and after thorough cooking should be freely used where the amount of meat in the diet is reduced. ECONOMISE BREAD. It is on bread that most of us rely for OUr main nourishment. Four-fifths of the "Wheat from which bread is made comes from abroad. Bread is the article which is most commonly wasted of all our food materials, &nd it is the one which the circumstances of this war require to be most carefully husbanded. There are two ways in which bread can ^e economised without any real stint. (1) By using every crust and crumb of it for food, and throwing none of it away. (2) By only using bread which is at least twenty-four hours old. fresh bread is not so easily digested as which is a day old. The latter is satisfying, and less of it needs to be 0 ^ten. our- patriotic ancestors, in the wars 0 one hundred years ago, took advantage this well-known fact, and were able to make a great saving in their store of wheat J giving up the usp of fresh bread and j ting only that which was at least twenty- ^°Ur hours old. It was estimated that about sixth part of the supply was saved by 18 simple means. If this were done at the esent day it might enable a ten months' ^Pply of wheat to last one year. This fee an enormous gain in our powers of
