I DISPUTE ENDED. (PONTARDAWE CALVANISERS TO I RETURN TO WORK. I TERMS OF SETTLEMENT. Alter being idle for nearly five weeks, the galvanisers engaged at Messrs. Gilbertson's Works, Pontar- dawe, decided at a meeting held at the Victoria Hotel, Pontardawe last night, to return to work on the same condi- tions as those on which they came out, and that the matters in dispute be re- ferred to a committee of the Concilia- tion Board. The men adopted the down tools" policy on the question of seniority. It appears than one of the tankers—Philip Humphries, was promoted to the posi- tion of dipper by the firm, and the men, on the other hand, claim that Willie Harding shotil(I receive the promotion. The masters declined to give in to the men, and insisted that Humphries should continue with the work of dipping. Under these circumstances, the men came out with the result that 14 mills had to be closed down. render- ing more than 1,000 mill-men idlo. Efforts at Settlement. A committee of the Pontardawe In- dustrial Council endeavoured to seek an interview with the firm, but the latter declined to give them a hearing. The firm, h-owever, agreed to meet a depu- tation -of the galvanisers a$ the. con- ference held at the Hotel Metropole iu Swansea. The conferenco lasted about five hours) and the firm agreed that work be resumed on condition that all mat- ters in dispute be referred to a com- mittee of the Conciliation Board. This decision was reported to a meet- ing of the galvanisers on Monday, but the meeting broke up without anything definite being done. Resumption of Work. In the meantime an effort was made to get the firm to meet the men, but their reply was-that they adhered to what was decided at Swansea on Satur- day. The men, consequently, held a meeting on Wednesday night, and after u discussion of something like two hours, they agreed by a majority to accept the recommendations passed at the conference at Swansea. The meet- ing was attended by Mr. Hughes, of the Dockers' Union, Swaa. It is expected that work will be re- sumed in a few days.

A ship's cook named Herbert Russell (19), was brought up on remand at the Swansea Police Court to-day on a charge of burglariously breaking and entering a refreshment house, No. 7, Carinartben-road, between 11.30 p.m: on the 11th and <j.4j a.m. on the iiltfo. of February, and steafing therein Gd. in coppers, the property or Phillip Gough. Phillip Gough saiu that when ho re- tired for the night on February 11, ali the doers and windows were secured, with the exception of the scullery win- dow.

Nothing else was misse d Peter Wood, baker and confestioner, $aid he was employed at Mr. Wibber- ley's shop, about three doors from the 'last witness's shop. At about 4.30 a.m. on the 12th he entered the bakehouse at the back of the shop and taw the figure of a man standing by the fire- place, Witness lit the gas, and asked the defendant, who was the man, what ho was ùomg there. Defendant replied that he w?e having a. warm, and had got in by coming over the wall, and that lie had mistaken the bakehouse for a shed. Witness di dnot miss anything, and so let the defendant out through the shop. Sergt. Easterbrook said that about 4.55 p.m. on the 12th February he was on duty at the Central Police Station, when the defendant came in and said, "I broke into a shop this morning. [ want to give myself up." He also stated where the shop was. Later on witness charged him. He made no reply. On lwirig searched all that was found on l1i'rn was a leather watch- guard, a box of matches, a small pocket, mirror, and a lead pencil The Bench decided to charge the de- fendant with being found on the pre- mises for the purpose of committing a feloily. Supt. Roberts stated that defendant had been bound over ior embezzlement and gent to Borstal Prison for two years for lareeny. Defendant admitted that his real name was Alfred Herbert Bell. He was sent down for two months hard labour. A few minutes later, however, Bell was recalled, and the Bench decided to alter the sentence to one of two months in. the second division.

She says:—"I had suffered for 14 years from in- digestion, and I would not see a dog go through what I did in' that time. I had wind and splitting Mrs. Rowe, Newport, headaches almost, daily, and food oS-used such pain that J was afraid to eat at all.

Gi,W.R, SIGNALMEN I STORY OF BITTER FEELING MUCH I I., EXAGGERATED. -1 With reference to the statement in a Cardiff contemporary that there is "hitter feeling" amongst the G.W.R. signalmen over a notice which they re- ceived on Saturday that in future the working week of the first-class eight- hour boxes would commence as six o'clock instead of ten o'clock, as in the past, we are assured, after inquiries iiil authoritative quarters, that this picture is greatly overdrawn. What appears to be the case is that. owing to an alteration in working hours, the signalmen at Llanelly have i asked the Divisional Superin- tendent at Swansea (Mr. Jno. Rees, J.P.) to receive a de- jputation to discuss certain points on which there is a. >differenc$„of opin- ion with the men, but the <Wateinent that the men are up in arms" is pooh- poohed, and it is maintained that the dispute is purely a domestic one, which will he settled amicably and with mutual satisfaction when Mr. Rees re- ceives the deputation.

ARE YOU "LIVERISH?" I To feel "liverish" is to feel wretched, but to be really bilious, is indeed agony. Liverisliness often becomes biliousness if you leave your liver to work out its own salvation. A few doses of a time proved stomach and liver corrective and tonic such as Mother Seigel's Syrup is generally all that is needed to ensure the regular and even flow of bile so necessary to the perfect digestion of food and the regular daily action of the bowels. It is a simple matter to take thirty drops of Mother Seigel's Syrup in a little water whenever you feel the tendency to liverishness or have partaken heartily of food that is liable to disagree with you; yet thousands of people avoid the consequences of bilious- ness and indigestion in jlJst this simple way. They keep a bottle of Mother Seigel's Syrup handy for use when needed, and many of them have stated that they would not willingly be with- out it in the house if the cost were six times as great as it is.

A VERY BAD CASE. I UNJUST WEIGHT AND SCALES PROSECUTION AT SWANSEA. At the Swansea Police Court torday, John Warner was summoned by Mr. John Bingham, inspector of weights and measures for being in possession of an unjust weighing instrument, and for be- ing in possession of a false and unfitst weight. Mr. King (assistant solicitor to the Corporation) prosecuted in both cases. Inspector Hiscocks said that on the 31st of January he saw the defendant at, the Hafod Sidings weighing coal. Witness examined the scale, and found it out of balance against the purchaser to the extent of more than seven pounds. Defendant placed a piece of iron on to the scales and that made it only two ounces out. On to the weight end was a seven pound weight tied on by a piece of tape, and easily detachable. A 561bs. weight was four ounces light. The Chairman said that it was a very bad case: The Bench would, therefore, fine him 40s. in each case.

ECZEMA QUITE UNBEARABLE I 21, Holt Hili, Lower Tranmere, Birkenhead, Eng.—" My ears were bad for four years; they were discharging from the outsides and raw and sore, quite unbearable. I couldn't bear any- one to touch them. I think it was eczema of the ears. 1 have seen the rims of mv ears as thick as my middle finger and you could not bend them one way or another. Sometimes it would get very near better and next morning it would be as bad as ever. I could not let cold water go near them, I always Imd to use hot water. After I was done dashing, my ears would be watery for two hours after. Sometimes the scabs would come off when I would be drying my ears, and the holes that they would leave would be very nearly through the other side of my ears. 1 have seen my ears in raw flesh and I could have torn them off they were that itchy. I tried different kinds of ointment. None was a true success but the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I Only used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment with the Cuti- cura Soap and I. am now completely cured of the eczema." (Signed) J. Lappin, Mar. 17, 1913.

He hopes that before long a bath will be made which can be carried in the waistcoat pocket. Doctor's Christian Science. Dr. W. F. Wilding, of Withington, Manchester, who is not now in prac- tice, giving evidence yesterday at an inquest on his daughter Doris, aged twenty-one, to whom a doctor was not summoned, said that both he and his daughter were Christian Scientists. She was cured of hip disease by Christian Science thirteen years ago. The medical evidence was that it was very doubtful if a doctor could have prolonged life, and the jury returned a verdict of Natural Causes. The Italian Lawyers' Strike. The lawyers' strike is gradually extending throughout Italy, but it has not yet reached such an acute phase that the administration of justice is paralysed. Many courts are open and ma-nv lawyers are working, not heed- ing the protests of their colleagues, who accuse them of lack of solidarity. Meanwhile the lawyers' grievances arc being discussed in Parliament, where a good proportion of the members are lawyers. The result of the debate is awaited before a general strike is pro- claimed andpenfoi-ced. Canon of 86 Heir to Boy of IS. A romance of the Bolingbroke peerage is recalled by the death of Canon M. W. V. St. John, heir- presumptive to the sixth viscount, who will be eighteen diext month. Canon St. John was eighty-six. At the funeral of the fifth viscount his solicitor an- nounced that at the age of seventy- three Lord Bolingbroke had secretly married Miss Mary Howard, who had borne him a son three years later. The child ia the present Lord Bolingbroke. Until this was known it was believed that the Canon, grandson of the third viscount, was heir to the title. Welsh Pulpit and Journalism. In an address on Modern Journalism," given at. Colwyn Bay, Mr. F. E. Hamer, of Manchester, the vice-president of the National Union of Journalists, said that the Rev. Dr. Cynddylan Jones, speaking at Rhyl the other day, referred to the modern newspaper as if it were a sink of iniquity, run by men who n'ere outside the laws of good manners and decency. It was not easy to understand why a minister of rpligion should be so familiar with a few scrofulous products of the Press, and apparently quite ignorant of the great mass of reputable and high-minded public journals by which the public life of this country was so well served. If here and there an isolated journal adopted the methods of the American yellow press it was only following the example of certain ministers who sought their divinity degrees in the same quarter.

PANCAK E DY, 1914. I In view of the near approach of Shrove Tuesday, the following recipe for Pancakes should be found useful:— '.c' Take half-i-pmind cf flour, one teaspoon- ful of Borwick's leaking Powder and a little salt, mix well in a dry state, add one egg and threequarters of a pint of milk. Fry quickly over a brisk fire .ind serve im- mediately. Pancakes made according to these direc- tions will turn out beautifully light and appetising. Borwick's teaki#- Powder. besides being admittedly the best, is also most economical to use, one teispoonful to every half-pound of flour being quite suffi- cient to ensure the mott delicious Pau- cakes.

NOT OUT OF DOORS FOR I THREE YEARS. A MOTHER'S BADLY POtSOMEB FOOI SPLENDIDLY HEALED BY ZAM-BUK. Mrs. J. Newsome put on an old pair lof boots which she kept for use in the house. A nail sticking up in one boot I scratched her foot. "Dye from ljiy stocking set up blood poison," Mrs. Newsom'e, who livea at 114, Huddersfield Road, West Town, Dewsburv, said to a local reporter. "The foot festered badly. I never went out of the house for three years, and for twelve months ( couldn't even get upstairs. Crossing the kitchen floor gave me intense pain. "Friends advised all kinds of oint- ments and remedies, but these failed and I then realised that the poi,oi ?ai;? festering had gone too far for any ordi- nary treatment. Several doctors next had my case under treatment, with the same disappointing result. Finally I wa.s taken in a cab to Dewsburv Infirmarv. I couldn't "have walked to save my life. My poisoned foot was dressed by the surgeon, and when I got home again I carefully carried out the Infirmary treatment. But my foot still remained in a shock- ing state. "My son one day came home, and seeing me in great påin said, 'I ,dl you would try Zam-Buk. mother. I'm sure it will heal your sore foot.' "To please my son I got somp Zam- Buk. I hadn't been using the balm more than a few days before I saw proof of its extraordinary healing powers. *« Not only was the dreadful pain soothed; the inflammation and proud flesh also disappeared. "Zam-Buk was simply marvellousf It cleansed and healed my foot splen- didly. New healthy skin grew over the old sore place. I jjan now get out and about again as well as ever. Zam-Buk has completely cured me." Every housewife and out-door worker should know that a box of Zam-Buk is the most useful balm as a first-Akd for injuries and a cure for skin diseases like eczema, ringworm, festering sores, ulcers, and also for piles, etc.
