WAR NERVES Are you "run down." "jumpy," irritable, and always anxious about the future ? Do you start the day very .tired, feel a little better as the time goes and at night time are wide awake ? Do you then go to bed, only to lie awake for hours in worried rest- lessness ? If so. your nerves are tired from over strain and they require food. By taking drugs, you merely whip them,-using them up all the faster. But the food must be of a speciai kind-it must contain just those substances of which the nerves them- a selves are made. Virol is such a nerve food, made entirely of natural food-stuffs con- taining no added.chemical "whips." Try it for sleeplessness-one tea- spoonful in a tumblerful of warm milk three times a day, one tumbler- ful at bedtime. VIROL la Glass ft Stoae Jars, 1/ 18, £ 2/11. I VIROL, LTD 152-166. Old Street.

He succumbed at 6.50 p.m. The Coroner said it appeared to be a. pure fcecident, occurring during the ordinary course of the work. There was no blame to fee attached to anyone, he thought. The foot- boards were now being extended on the cars, thue eliminating the danger of the work. The jury brought in a- verdict of "Acci- dental death." Mr. Beddoes Nash, on behalf of the National Union of Railwaymen and the Guards' Union, aid he was sure that if the company could do anything to minimise the danger of the work it would be done.

A Gower shoeing smith had been given a month in order to find a substitute to work his two forges, and Mr. Arthur Davies, who appeared for him, explained that it had been impossible to do this, and that the farmers had unanimously stated that if either of the forgea were closed it would be very serious for the fanning. In reply to Ald. Davies appellant said that he had seven brothers—not. all at home. I Ald. Davies: How many have joined the Army? Appellant: Not one. It transpired that one of the brothers, a, schoolmaster of Llanrhidian. had posed as a conscientious objector. Mr. Thomas (representing the Board of Agriculture) supported the appeal. The Chairman explained to the appel- lant that the case had been adjourned in order that he might make arrangements in his business. The court was not un- mindful of the fact that he had six brothers and none had offered themselves for service. i Mr. Davies: That's very unfortunate, but lie cannot help his brothers. The Chairman: No, but they can help each other in a matter of this kind. Mr. Davies: Not as a blaoksmith? The Chairman: But the father is there now. The appeal was dismussed.

MUMBLES FIRST LIQUOR CONTROL. SUNDAY. The first Siuiriav und» the new order of the Liquor Confro" Board at the Mumbles ■ was not distinguished by any incident, in particular owing to the Inclement wea.ther. Several popular houn? of rbort- wpre closed al together, the owners deeming it not wing )A,.Ortli while kping the houses open. Those j that did open made good use of their old stock of hop bitters and other non-intoxi- of the landlords were dubious j at to what they should sell. In one hotel "treating was allowed for non.-irjtoxica.ting drinks. At Langlarid. a first e.las.v hotel despite the wet weather did a het morning trade with breakfasts and lunches t-hail on the visitors to the Mumble? came from uut^de distrh 's and were followers of the C/tartiia Band and- kept, on t-he pin all the afternoon. The pier bars were closed all day aaxi only teas and lights refreshments were sold in the re ireshment rooms of the pier. Tire Mumbles roai "was practically dest-rtcd of pedestrians and motor-cars were c nspicu oils by their absence. Inspector r(I.- ported no complaints. People who visit the Mumbles rearularh for the change of air take the new regulation philosophically and will soon get used to it. There were several humorous scenes on Sunday for instance, one old sailor en- tered a public-house and admitted that it was the first time in his life of fifty years to tAste hop bitters.
