I desire to add yet another to the large number of testimonials you receive in support of the splendid quali- ties of Phosferine. I should like to state that I found Phosferine most beneficial when suffering from Neuralgia and General Debility, including loss of appetite. Since taking Phosferine I have had no recurrence of either complaints. Naturally I shall always recommend Phosferine t every opportunity. We have just left the "Push" where. as you will understand, the conditions are most fatiguing, it being necessary, at times, to forego sleep for days at a stretch During this period of action I was never without Phosferine, and came out feeling no worse for the experience. This war-schooled gunner says nothing but the use of Phosferine keeps him free of the Neuralgia and Debility caused by his exhausting duties. Piiosferine increased the vital force just when the natural power was expended, and Phosferine thereby enabled the system to withstand unharmed those never-ending shocks and privations to which, formerly, he had sucrambsd, When you reqaftre the Best Toalc see yo-i get PHOSFERINE A PROVES REJtlEÐ1 FOR Herrons DeblUtJ I loftsoBza ladigactiew BIoepioMaezs Exhaustion Ihuralgia Maternity Weakness Premature Decay Kental Exhaastioa Lees of App etita LasBftude Hecritia Fjuainew B rain-Fag Aficnia Backache Rheumatism Eeadacfta gynteHa Sciaiioa Phesferine lias a world-wide repute for curing diaerders of the nervous system more completely and speedily, and at less cost than any other preparation.

WHAT ABOUT ENGLAND Remarkable Evidence in I Piano Libel Case. t The hearing was resumed, in the Kind's Bench on Tuesday of the action for al. leged libel brought by Mr. Mumihnn Lindlar, of Elsworthy-road. Hampstead, igainst Mr. Herbert Sinclair, editor of The Pianomaker, and Mossrs, King tnci Jarrett, Ltd., printers. Afr. C. Melchers. giving evidence for plaintiff, said that the latter waa naturalised about 32 years ago. He bad lived in this country for 47 years. He used to be a member of the German Atheaeanm Club. Mr. Will, for defendants, contended that Mr. Sinclair had vindicated the posi- tion he took up in the article. Mr* George Samuel Ferdindande, living in Sussex, said his family came to this country between the 16th and 17th Cen- tury. Witness said he always i-hought Mr. Lindlar was a patriotic German be- cause his conversation was always in favour of Germany. Witness related a conversation he had with plaintiff whilst' dining .together at the German Athenaeum ) Club just before the war. Plaintiff told rcitnesn that if Germany declared war she would go through France like a plough- s hare through a field, and Framee would never have a ohance to lift her head again." "WHAT CAN ENGLAND DO?" Witness said, What about ErL,-Iaud P Do you suppose she will sit still while this happea,? Plaintiff replied, "What ?.:i /.•nffisnd do with her little Army?" On another occasion plaintiff told witness he was sorry war, had broken out, alld that he felt sure England had made a great mistake in. joining in, and that he did not think her finances would hold 6-at. Thereupon witnsss asked Mr. Lindlar if he were natur&li--ed, and he replied, Tes, for business purposes." Mr. WiM: What did yoti say then? Witness: I would rather not repeat it. Mr. Duncan Miller, of Bayswatcr, said lie saw an article in a daily paper with regard to plaintiff, and telephoned him, asking if he were going to take action against tie papsr. Hr. LircMsr replied., n No; a German would not get justice in the BrifcisTi courts." u

SWANSEA'S YOUNG HOPES. Naval Brigade at Clydach Concert. Progresg of C. L. B. Movement -ao. iiitter weather held its sway on the day set apart for the concert at Clydach, at which the Swansea Naval Brigade parti- cipated. A biting nor'-east wind ruled which spitefully shook the buildings, pierced even the thickest clothing and made the toughest person shiver. Under such circumstances it is doubtful whether anyone could feel the proper amount of satisfaction at the thought that each gust was either slaying or oarrying disease germs from our midst. Personal discom- fort alone was uppermost in every mind. The Naval Brigade boys who had finished their day's work were gathered together in little groups and were soon tightly packed in a huge motor 'bus whert they laugh- ingly declared they felt like sardines pressed into a tin. SCOUTS' BUGLE BAND. At the Post Office they were mdfc by the Scouts' Bugle Band, who piloted them to the tall, where the remainder of the MiersJ Troop of Second Swansea Sea Scouts (undisr Scoutmaster C. C. Leopold) formed a guard of honour inside the build- ing, aad welcomed them with ringing I cheers. Tho Swansea Naval Brigade ac- companied by their Commodore, Lieut.! John Hodgcna, Bandmaster Riddiford, Chief Petty Officer Ashbury, Armourer Williasns, Signal-instructor Botoher, and Gymnastic-instructor Penhale, who is very kindly giving his time to the Naval Bri- gade until he is called up on active ser- vice. WELCOMING THE GUESTS. Commissioner R. N. Miere, who occu- pied the chair, after cordially welcoming his guests, spoke of the good work Lieut. John Hodgens and his energetic band of ofiicors were doing for the boys, who would in the future be the men of our Empire. Ha also 'remarked on the valuable tuition they had received to bring them to their high standard of efficiency. The Naval Brigade Band of 36 instrumentalists—they are now rewarding Bandmaster Riddiford by their performance for the time and patience he has so freely expended—de- lighted the audience with their well- chosen selections, which received great ap- plause that was richly deserved. The Naval Brigade calls by Buglar Milk also made an interesting item on the pro- gramme. Instructor Ashbury's cutlass party too were a great success., and. as it has been aptly described, performed their part with the precision of veterans. The "sea shanties (conductress, Miss Ash- i bury) by the boys of the Naval Brigade were very much applauded, as well as the songs sung by Mr. Barry and Master G. Savage. The accompanist was Nlro Harris. "A BROTHER'S DEVOTtON'" The second part of the programme was given by the Scouts, which i-netudod a dramatic sketch written by Mr. W. A. Mines, entitled A Brother's DevotioD." The various scenes in-camp life were very realistic, the acting forcible, and the parts well sustained. At the cloeo of an enjoy- able evening steaming hot cups of cocoa, with buns Mid sandwiches, were gener- ously given by Commissioner Miers to tIl.' Scouts and Swansea Naval Brigade. SWEDISH DRilL. On Saturday afternoon Instructor Pen- hale put the boys through Swedish drill and fiacre marching, which is now eo fre- quently practised by our Bailors and Boldiors. This varied exercise is acknow- ledged to be the most effective for strengthening the limbs and developing the muscles. Moreover, it is invaluable for concentrating wandering thoughts. For those who taio part in ligure march- ing have to pay particular attention to what they are doing, otherwise one mis- take will create a hopeless tangle. We should also endeavour to cherish our bodies and preserve the powar with which we have been endowed by avoiding strain, risk, or needless dangers in any unworthy eaiiee. Anchor's Weighed. C.L.B. NOTES. 1 On tie invrUition of -Ilis-, pri pal of the Ik Bear Commercial School at Swansea, a large number of C.L.Suites from St. Gabriel's, Hafod, Koty Trinity and Owrabwrla companies attended the concert given by the pupils (pagt and pre- sent) of the local braneu of De Bear's, at the Albert Hall last week. The senior C.L.B. officers present, namely Major T. Thomas, Ad j t. Williams and Capt. Rowe, occupied seats on the piatioria, along v/Hn the Mayor of Swansea and many other ladies -and gentlemen.. The lads, wifeh their characteristic eagerness always Lo help everyone as much as possible, ren- dered assistance by oarrying forms, chairs, etc. LANDORE COMPANY, Landore Company (C.L.B. Cadets and Training Corps) continues to make good progress under the capable leadership of Lieut. Dickson. The weekly parades are well attended, the lads are keen, and a few recruits have joined up during the past few weeks. Lieut. Dickson is aHy assisted by the N.C.O.'s of the C.L.B. com- pany, and has also recently had the assistance of Mr. H. J. Thoftias, of Lan- dore, an ex-Army man, who is giving the company instruction in physical drill and musketry. PROGRESS AT SKETTY. The cadet company at Sketty, which can record a splendid past, is doing ex- ceedingly well just at present, as is also the training corps. Lieuts. Morris and Thorogood, working in conjunction with the N^C.O.'s, are doing their very best to make the company as successful in the future as it has been in the past. The gymnasium is in full working order, and the lads take a great interest in this par- ticular branch of training. THE BATTALION BANDMASTER. I learn with satisfaction that the one who is to have charge of the Battalion band, shortly to be commenced, is an old C.L.B.-ite in the person of Mr. Joe Norris. Mr. Norris is a very competent band- master, and the band will undoubtedly dc well under his charge. As there are so many local C.L.B.-ites who are quite expert buglers, drummers, flautists, etc., it will be a hard job to pick out the best of them for the band, and it will be with great interest that both officers and lads will learn in due ooiirse who are chosen.

SWANSEA CHILD SCALDED. I A serious accident happened at the house of Mrs. Catherine Sullivan, of 4, Emma- street, Greenhill, Swansea, on Tuesday afternoon, when her little son Hughie Sollivan, aged 4 years, was badly scalded. It appears that the mother had taken a bucket of boiling water off the fire with the intention of washing clothes. The bucket was placed an the floor while Mrs. Sullivan ran upstairs. During that time she heard screams, and upon rushing down found the child had fallen back- wards into the bucket. He was inv mediately conveyed to the Swansea Hos- pital.

| OVER TWO MILLIONS I a m:ws Cjumsmn TO THE WAR I LOAH. 1 THE MAms APPEAL I The Mayor (\ld. D. Daviee) presided over a meeting of proprietors and business men at the Guildhall, Swansea, on Tuos- day afternoon, which was ixmvened for the purpose of making a f-arther appeal for iil)script-ons to the War Loan. The Mayor said that he was in a position now to say that the War Loan contributions of Swaneea had now reached over two million j I pounds, lie thought this was a fine and creditable effort for Swansea, but he thought there was still room for further propaganda work among the working classes, and he would ask the borough treasurer to outline his suggestions. I GETTING AT THE WORKING MAN. ) Mr. Ashmole said that in order to get at the working man he would appeal to the owners of works and managers to j j organise schemes by which the working I man would contribute to a fund similar to the War Savings Committee. There were j already 1,800 members of suoh schemes in Swansea, and they contributed large sums' weekly. He ako pointed out that within his knowledge a leml firm had arranges, a sebcma whereby the company bought lvax Loan etock for the empioje, and he in his turn would pay for the War Loan in instalments of 2s. per weekend when the sum of C4 155. had been paid the employer would hand over the stock with the 5 per cent, interost accrued, rith the condition that if the man left the works the money would be returned, the firm keeping the stock, or, on the other hand, if the man I would pay up the balance, then the trans- action would end, the man holding the stock. MONO NICKEL WORKS SCHEME. I Mr. Gibbons, of the Mond Nickel Works. said there was a scheme now in course of organisation by which the firm would buy War Loan stock up to half a man's salary, official or workman, and the employe or official pays eo much per week in deductions, or otherwise as the work- men chose, and the interest on the loan was credited to the holder of the stock. The Mayor: That's the kind of action to get in the small subscriber. Mr. Gibbon further stated that' there were a number of War Savings Associa- tions at the works. Th,e bank managers present gave it to be understood they were always at any time prepared to give personal and in- dividual advioe to anyone who desired it on the isaatter of the War Loan.; in fact, hey welcomed inquiries. SCRIPT AT THE MANNESMANN. I ,tJ ■~r* COOW8rt, of the Mannesmann Works, said his tirm had authorised the managers to buy the stock for the men, and the men had been paying for the 15s. 6d. ecript for some time. The company had given the men the benefit of the interest. The Chairman pointed out that Mr A. F. Eden was unable to be present. In the discussion which followed, it was considered advisable to get the men's re- preventatives and leaders to participate in the propaganda work among the working classes.

DARK ROAD DANGERS. I Aged Man Fatafffy Injured on Sketty Road. I Swansea Coronor and Lighting I Orders. An inquest was held at Swansea, on Tus-,dail, by the deputy borongh coro- ner on Wm: Mitchell, aged 71, residing at 79, Ulrer Strand, who was knocked dovrn by a tramear in Sketty-roacl, about 7,20. oil the 24th inst., and who euecumbccT the Swansea Hospital. Ch?f Inspector Maimone appMred on behalf of the? Tram- way Company. Detective Eynon said he had known de- ceased many years. D-eceased was an old naval reservist, and witnec3 last caw him ali.vfe about a week before he met with his death. Gilbert Evans, 24, Evoreley-road, a vol. nnteer special constable, said he wai travelling on the back of a tramcar. When they were passing Park Wern lada' the car pulled up, and the driver told witmess that lie thotifht he had knocked eomccne down. TTpon investigation, lie fonnd deceased with his ff-pt towards the line. The car was travelling about six miles an hour, and at ttit place of the < occurrence it was very dark. Mr. Stanley f|j Jones, who was passing in his motor-car at the time, conveyed the deceased to thr Hospital. £ THE D'.IIVER'S EVIDENCE. I iiioraas James Mills, 8, Cmton-hiil employed by tne Swansea l ramway Co driver ot tne cur 111 question, etaieci ü. was conuag cimm the incline in bkefiy road, and when a bou t a yard from tbk, opening of l'ar4 Vtcrn loage he saw a man. vvitness pulied up sharply beior«? the car had passed the opening, and went to the back of the car and found deeeaced in a iiait-sitting poGicion agAinst the wail. The Coroner: How tar away from the back of the car did you lind yards. I he Coroner: How wide is the opening: —About 20 yards. When asked by the coroner if he sounded his toil when parsing an opening, and if he did on this occasion, witness re- plied in the affirmative. The lights on the car were fairly bright. Dr. Thomas, of the Swansea Hospital, stated that deceased was admitted to the Hospital suffering from injuries to the head, a wound in the buttock, and gen- eral bruises, on the 24th, and died on the 29th. Witness attributed death to syn- cope following exhaustion due to injuries received when in a weak state. He added that deceased was addicted to drink. The Coroner, in summing up, said there was no evidence to show that the driver was to blame, and if anyone was at fault it was the old man in not looking either way to see if there was a car coming. De- ceased had been addicted to drink, but there was no evidence to show that he was intoxicated when the accident hap- pened. The jury returned a verdict of death from misadventure. The Coroner said in Cardiff they ha<. been fortunate (ln)1'n in getting eoine oi the lights back again, and he would like the notice of the Swansea authorities <-< be*drawn to the matter, because this wa the second local fatality resulting from the darkened streets.

MEN FROM THE LAND. O L.G. B. to the Tribunais. The Local Government Board has issued a memorandum to tribunals dealing with ajrieultnre in England and Wales. The memorandum states that, the War Cabinet have decided that 30.000 men fit for general service who do not hold certificates of exemption from tribunals are to be provided for the Army from agriculture, it is imperative that these men should be brought into the Army at thp very earliest time. The Army Council desire that men shall be taken with the least disturbance to agriculture, and they propose, so far as possible, to take them from districts which appear to have the largest number of agricultural workmen available in pro- portion to local needs. Where the num- ber of available men renders /this pos- sible the younger men will generany be  taken in preference to the oIde; VI so desired, any a?riculruriti cases now b?* fore or which may hereafter come betO!'1 the tribunals shall be dmit with as speeD' ily as possible on their merits.
