By a curious coincidence another gentleman named Captain Noel Fleming recently held a position at Swan iea, byt has e11}ce left the district. It now appears that the coincidence ?n names has been the eak. of a number of mistakes heing made. as many acquaint- ances of Capt. Noel Fleming have come to the conclusion that he is now at Briton- ferry, which is not so, and Capt. Nable H. Fleming of Britonferry has only been resident in Wales just over a month. The death has taken place at Briton- ferry of Mr. William Aubrey. Neath-road, one of the oldest newsagents in the town, at the age of 73 years. His Wrfe pre- deceased him some years ago.

I HOW TO TAKE CORNS OUT SO THEY NEVER COME BACK. You simply use saltrated water, which docs the trick for us soldiers every time, and also cures bunions, aching, I tenderness, blisters, chilblains, or even rheumatic and gouty pains" —says ¡ Sergt. C. S. TURNER, R.A.M.C. Cutting the top of a corn off witk a I razor or burning it off with caustic lotions, plasters, etc., doesn't do any I good- The root just sprouts right up again, and soon your corn has a brand new top on it, bigger than ever. The top is only dead skin anyway. The business end of a corn is the little pointed part, or core, that extends down into the toe. That is what hurts when it presses on sensitive nerves, and it ie the part you have to get out. Cutting the top off an aching tooth wouldn't stop the ache. Same wav with a corn. Don't worry about the top. Get the root out per- manently by using a good big handful of Reudel bath saltrates (you can get a half-pound at slight cost from any chemist) discolved in a gallon or so of hot water. Just soak your feet in this for fifteen or twenty minutes, then take hold of the corn with your fingers, and out she'll come root and all, like the hull comes out of a strawberry. Only a little hole or depression is left in the toe, and that soon closes, eo there is nothing left in there to sprout a new corn again. It doesn't affect the surrounding flesh at all, but soon softens the whole of the corn. No burning or soreness, no pain n4 danger, nib trouble, and no days of waiting to see whether that old corn is going to leave for good or come back to stay with you a while longer. Soften callouses the same way, then scrape off, and I don't dare tell you how quick this medicated water, made with Reud-el Bath Saltrates, wiU always drive aches, chafes, blisters, etc., away and even cure rheu- matic or gouty pains. It would sound Wo good to be true but th<Hløan of a.,Idi=r, oan tell' what wonderful stuff saltrated ] water is. C. S. T. I

NEGRO SENT TO PRISON.

W.R. Co. Manual Phenis, a Cardiff boarding house keeper,, said he made up a sailor's kit for Taylor. In defence he said he mistook someone else's bag for his.

SWANSEA'S RATES I COUtiOLS DECISION Moviiag the minutes off the Finance Committee, and chairmen of committees, and the adoption of the annual budget, at the Swansea Council on Wednesday, Councillor Maodosiald said that the com- mittees had kept well within their esti- mates for the past year, and this had, ot oouise, substantially helped in dealing with the next, years's rates. The increases in the estimates were as -follow Borough }{.¡1.te. JE10.606 District Rate k 4,829 Education .£ 6,143 I Total ^21,578" This represented an increase in the I Corporation rates of 6d. in the £ this, with id. estimated increase in the Guar- dians' precepts for the year, making a total increase of It)d. Of course the Cor- poration have no control over the ex- I penditure of the Guardians. I It a 10s. rate was levied it would repre- j| sent about 15 per cent, increase on the j pre-war rate of 8s. 8d. The Corporation, Ul (jommon with all other employers of labour, have had to pay bonuses to its employes, and this had approximately oost, to workmen, 220,500, or about a 9d. rate; to officials, t2,600, or just over a penny rate. War allowances had also cost over £ 6.000, representing nearly a 3d. rate. He moved the adoption of the minutes and the budget, with the exception that the figures of the recept for general dis- trict rate purposes be amended to ^104,788, and that for the borough rate purposes to £ 35,378. The effect of this would be that the rates would be increased by 6d. only, for which the Guardians would be re- sponsible for 4d., the Education Commit- tee 2id., and the Corporation (general purposes) would be reduced by fd. Mr. W. W. Holmes seconded, and pointed out that the Borough Traesurer had saved several thousands of pounds' expenditure. The rates had increased since the last six years by £ 67,000. Of that £ 20,000 had been incurred by grant- ing bonuses to workmen; klS,000 was spent on the Education Committee, and £ 15.000 had gone to the Guardians. Con- sidering that during the War practically !l-11 the tramps had been cleared out of the country. One would have thought that there would have been saving effected by the Guardians. Th. Councrl themselves were helpless. They had to obey the precept sent in. That precept was sent in with- out explanation or details; there was some explanation due to the Council. Some explanation should be forthcoming as to why they had to contribute another 215,000 for the coming year. I The budget was subsequently adopted.
