PRIVATE F. S. DARBY Cameroaians S. Rifles British Expeditionary Force ('1 have found Phosferine splendid during the winter months when feeling properly run-down, and completely out of order, and also for Neuralgia when other medicines have failed to give relief. Owing to the severe Strain during this campaign—and I may say I have been out here since Sept., 1914, and continually in the trenches my nerves seemed completely shaken and out of sorts, and I could not get rid of neuralgia, so 1 wrote to my wife to send m: some Phoifcrine, but a trench mortar burst over my dugout and smashed the bottle. I felt terribly disappointed my Phosferine was wasted, as I studied it more than I did the Germans. I have now got another supply and give the boys a dose at night, and they come for an issue in the mornings, and they jokingly remark 'Fred, it will take the officer all his time to keep the boys from going over the parapet after taking Phosferine.' When feeling run- down, I always used Phosferine as a nerve steadier, and found it a grand bracing pick-me-up, so you can use this letter for the benefit of others." This gallant and hardy soldier makes it quite clear that throughout ten months of appalling warfare Phosferine has prevented his collapse under the unparalleled strain and exhaustion of the campaign—Phosferine stopped the steady wearing out of his nerve forces, stopped the premature dissipation of his vitality, and, always at the moment of direst need, it re-established the power and energy to surmount the endless disabilities and hardships encountered. When yon require the Best Tonic Medicine, see you get PHOSFERINE A PROVEN REMEDY FOR Nervous Debility Neuralgia Lassitude Backache Influenza Maternity Weakness Neuritis Rheumatism Indigestion Premature Decay Faintness Headache Sleeplessness Mental Exhaustion Brain Fag Hysteria Exhaustion I Loss of Appetite Anasmia Sciatica Phosferine has a world-wide repute for curing disorders of the nervous system more completely and speedily, and at less cost than any other preparation. SPC" L SERVICE NO: TE Phosferine is r:'ade in Liqnidand t>lets, the Tablet form being particularly convenient for men on ACTIVE SERVICE, travellers, etc. It can be used any time, anywhere, in accurate doses, as no water is needed. The 2/9 tube is small enough to carry in the pocket, and contains 90 doses. Your savior or soldier will be the better for Phosrerine-send him a tube of tablets. Sold by all Chemists, Stores, etc. The 2/9 size contains nearly four times the 1/li size.
A MODEL RELIEF FUND' -0
A MODEL RELIEF FUND' -0 WHAT IWESMAKH EMPLOVESHAVE DONE FOR WAR SuFFERESS I YEAR'S TOTAL NEARLY Y,1,500I We publish below the balance sheot of the British Mannesmann Tube Co., Ltd. Employes War Fund. The fund was originated in August, 1911, by Mr. T. Xichols, then resident engineer at Lan- dore. and now of the > £ ewport works of the firm. Under his able chairmanship a committee was formed from the staff and workmen to control the fund. It was originally intended to devote the whole of the proceeds te the Prince of Wales National Relief Fund, but, after contributing nearly £500 towards that ob- ject, it was felt desirable to change the allocation of the money. XJiereupon it was decided to divide the fund into three distinct sections: (1) A fund to be placed out at interest (for which trustees were appointed) for the relief of the widow of any employes who may be killed in the war, and also for employes who return totally disabled. (2) A fixed sum paid weekly into the Mayor's Local Relief Fund, and an agree- ment come to with the Borough Treasurer that that fund 'would deal with all cases for relief brought before his notice by the British Mannesmann Tube Co., Ltd. War Fund Committee. (3) A general fund made up out of the money left after the claims of the first two sections had been met. The fund has, in Mr. G. Bell, the resi- dent engineer, a chairman who is also endowed with the energy and ability which characterised his predecessor, Mr. T. Nichols, and under his guidance the fund is bound to prosper. Mr. Phil John, the local secretary of the Gas- workers' Union, is the secretary, and he has been assiduous in his duties, full of enthusiasm, and of wonderful assistance to thoee of the employes and others who, through sickness, have fallen upon hard times. A perusal of the balance sheet will show at a glance what good work the fund is doing and will continue to do until the war is ended. The connection with the Mayor's local relief fund has been a most happy one, and has worked almost from the start without a hitch. Special attentioji is drawn to an item, Our Wounded Soldiers," which means that every case of employes coming back wounded to hospital coming under the notice of the committee, the chairman and secretary communicate with the matron, and any comforts she approves of are immediately dispatched. The constitution of the committee is as follows :-Chairmllll. Mr. G. Bell, en- gineer; secretary, Mr. P. John; trea- surer, Mr. H. E. J'armyn, cashier; trustees of works fund, Mr. E. W. Stewart (com- mercial manager), Mr. H. E. Jarmyn (casSier), Mr. D. J. Stephens (workmen's representative General Committee: Messrs. Rees Richards, B. O. Rees, R. Owen, D. J. Stephens, W. Mathias and D. Williams, D. Davies, T. Norman. W. Penhale, E. D. Griffiths, W. Phillips, D. J. Morris, R. Evans. The balance sheet shows 'total receipts (to August 4th, 1915), £ 1,472 9s. 7d. Of this sum = £ 479 10s. 3d. was sent to the Prince of Wales's Fund, and up-to-date c£2:. 4s.

In order to make the game more interesting the Eng- lish and WelFh Associations decided on a six-rink game, if Mr. A- F. Eden, the donor of the cup. was agreeable to the change. Mr. Husbands read a letter from Mr. Eden expressing his pleasure that the cup should tie competed for, and agreeing to the altera- tion to six rinks. Mr. F. Davies explained that as the Bank Holiday weather was so unfavourable it had been suggested that the g.ime should be played on some evening in August.
