CUTlbtlRA HEALS JIM FACE Chest and Arms. Irritated Awfully. Restless Nights, "My face, chest and arrns were covered with small pimples that used to irritate awfully. They used to come to a head and discharge and I had restless nights. I could not keep my hands away from the pimples. "Then I saw an advertisement for Cuticnra Soap and Ointment, and I thought I would give them a trial. It was wonderful, as they eased the pim- ples, and now my skin is lovely and clear after three years of torment. I am healed." (Signed) Mrs. E. Murr, 97, James St., Sheemess-on-Sea, Eng.

'TERRIBLE PETRO- j -GRAD!I
'TERRIBLE PETRO- GRAD! I British Subjects Forced to Dig Own Graves '1 HELSINGFRS, 18th July.—A highly jiompetant person wlio succeeded in .escaping from Petrograd a week ago reports the terrible situation of the pop- 'ulation especially among the working ,,y Food rations are red uced and there is strict control of documents, streets and public places. Perquisitions are gene- ral. If the persons sought for are absent thei.r fami.li. es, lodgers and servants are arrested. All foreign legations have been searched and pillaged. Petrograd inhabitants state that Rus- sian industry and the working classes are systematically exterminated in the interests of German industry. Work- men are prevented from working by being formed into communist security detachments for revictualling, and are sent into the country without hope of return. Recruits for the Red Army are also obtained in the same way Only 12,000 skilled workmen remain at Petrograd, and these are receiving 4,000 or 5,000 roubles monthly for 10 tours day. Sanitary conditions are deplorable. the lodgings being filthy, with broken windows, and scarcely any light. Factory committers are powerless, communists taking the place of gcndar- mes and report to the commissaries. S Factories where agitators had been his- sed suffer reprisals. Reds watch the work, and forbid con- versation. Red Police never leave fac- tories The Pontilov, Alexandrov and Ohoukhor factories are being placed under suspicion, have been closed and the workmen sent to the Red Army. In case of obstacles, the Government does not hesitate to destroy the build- ings, as for instance the factory of the Skorokhod firm which was burnt down. Every energetic protest suppressed by armed force. Officers, intellectuals and foreigners are shot, the latter with re- fined cruelty. British subjects before "being shot were forced to dig their own graves. Those who survive being faaished off by revolver shots.—L.A. worm,

Children's Corner.-1
Children's Corner. -1 BY UNCLE JOHN I Splendid, really I You have done weu with the oomvpe-ti- tions this week, although you had less time than usual owing to the fact that I was unable to give you the subjects and stiate the amounts of the prizes Until Mon- day. Others have seat in letters, jokes, riddles, and hint.s, which will have atten- tion in a few doye. Some of the subjects will surprise you, and you will see, when I mention them by and by, that we are out to give you all a chance on a subject that will suit you. Bringing these new hints into line will mean more work for us all, so I am vory grateful to tihosd of you -vrho have already helped, and others who have promised to help, in the deligirtful task of keeping our Corner cheerful, chatty, and change- ful. Some children and grown-ups w know that I have, in my time, had strange ad- ventures with lions and pumas, bulls, horses, and dogs; that I have beem down coalpits, up mountains; that I have had two or three narrow escapes, in storms on land and sea.; and that I have met some strange people, great and small; and I have beem asked to tell some of these stories to you in this Comer." Well, I will try to give you just one little story at a time, as we go on. But I am not going to beg-in to-day, and, when I do begin, I shall expect you to tell me some of your own talas of adventure as well. So now, let us return to the letters, as promised, taking, to-day, a few received from districts outside Swansea—some of them a lorig way, too.

I beg of you to receive my beet tha.nks for the P.O. Now I am trying to do a little story, and I will try to do my best every week. A young student came home during the holidays to see his parents, There were two pigeons on the table for supper that evening. He wanted his father to know how sharp he was in arith- metic, so he said, I can prove by the rule of arithmetic that these two pigeons are three." "Do ao," said his father. This is. one, and that is two, and one and two makes three," said the youth. As you have done it so nicely," s £ .;d the father, your mother shall have the first pigeon, and I will hove the second, and you can have the third." I hope this story is not too long for the corner.— Your affectionate niece, Winifred. 1, Llang-elly-terrace, Tirdeunaw, Lan- dore. 21st July, 1919.

Dear Uncle John,—I am now going to try in your Corner" this week a yaxn or two, and these are aa follow:- Into a very busy shop one day there strolled a young man, decidedly of the dandy type. He gaxed around him, obviously very imipatient. With secret delight lie, espied a most charming young L-idy a^istant.

For the Ladies. 4 HOW TO WASH A WOOLLEN SPORTS I COAT, ETC. Woollen swrts coats and other woollies I can be washed to keep their shape if tiieae directions are followed. v Make a aoap jelly the previous day by shredding some good soap and covering it I with boiling water. Take all buttons from the coal and give it a good shaking in the open air. Prepare a bath of nice warm water and twirl round a handful of the jelly until it has quite dissolved, then put in your coat so that every inch of it is under water. f Knetod it up and down, but do not rub it, either with the hands or with a board, and when all the dirt is out, place it through a wringer without rinsing it. This will take out more dirty water than you oould possibly squeeze out of it with your hands. Now rinse in clear warm water, and if the coat is a coloured one, ado a handful of silt to it toset the colour. Wring it I three or four times, folding in different ways and placing it in a clean dry towel ¡ the last time. Ihie will take up any re- maining water. Do not hand the coat on the line, but place it in a pillow slip, and peg the slip on the line skyhigh,to fasten the drying. Chose a windy day for the job and when the coat is all but dry, hang it on a coat I hanger to finish. 'I Girls who say home-washed coats lose their shape will find very little wrong with the set of a coat washed this way. Never attempt to put pegs into any woollen garment that has a shape. Shawls, babies jackets, hoods, etc., should be washed and dried in this way. Bonnets I and hoods can be placed on an inverted pudding basin or any other round article I to keep their shape until quite dry. TABLE-KNIFE TIPS. I Never wet the handles. Ivory turns yellow; composition discolours, and bone goes dirty permanently. Stains on blades are quickly removed with a piece of raw potato. Warm your kftifeooard; knives polish quicker and easier. Onioned knives will not taste if run two or three times through a raw potato. A knife-boaoxl with the leather worn out can be renewed with a piece of good, un- patterned linoleum. Ivory-handled knives, when the ivory discolours, can be made ati new if cleaned with lemon-juice and salt. Ltone handles should be sandpapered and polished to remove discolouration. A home but quick and effective knife- cleaning method is to tread a bit of soil firm and run the blades up and down in it. <, Beet quality knives should be cleaned with charcoal powder. Loose handles can be refixed., by filling the' hole with hot melted rosin. Warm the hart, insert, and leave for a day. Knives wiped immediately after use need but a-rub or two to clean them. Pearl handles are cleaned with very fine salt, and polished with a chamois leather. Knives worn thin at the top should have the top snapped off and. re-rounded with a file. If you can't get an edge on a knife with a ?teel, try. a brick, with a. smooth eur- 1'a.co as substitute.

THE MINERS' POINT OF VIEW.…
THE MINERS' POINT OF VIEW.     Short Time in the Amman Valley. It is no use shirking the issue—the blame for the shortage of coal lies with the Board of Trade and the Coal Con- troller; and Sir Auckland Geddes alvd Sir Evan Jones cannot get away from the fact, said Mr. John James, J.R., Iminers' agent to the ATi" Miners District, to our mining correspondent, when askod how the output of anthracite collieries was affected. If the Government would appoint a Committee of Inquiry into the wild state- ments made, and make a real honest at- tempt to meet the serious shortage cf coal, with the high costs now prevailing, some enlightenment could be given to the public which is now not possible to give. Only this week I was called' to meet a special joint committee of workmen in the Amman Valley, to consider what eilops could be taken to compel the Coal Controller to allow the necessary licences for exporting coal to one of the principal colliery companies in the anthracite dis- trict. The workmen are aggravated, and threaten all sorts of measures to retaliate upon the Coal Controller unless allowed to work their full week/s work, and not half their timo, as at present. You are well aware," continued Mr. Ja.mes, "that thousands of pounds hjtra been paid to our men in out-of-work pay- ments from the funde of the Federation during this year and the last, and if tliq country suffers from shortage of coal- as it undoubtedly does-why, in the name of common-eenee, do not the Coal Con- troller and the Board of Trade hasten the release of their bureaucratic restric- tions, and allow the exportation of coal, and thus keep our collieries going full time instead of half-time, as at present. We are fed up with these platitudes, and no amount of bureaucratic white. washing will avail, while the collieries are unable to work owing to shortage- of wagons and materials. The uncertainty of the position, and the evident jugglery with figures, will not get the miners to buck up/ and unless the Government make a pronouncement of their policy and face the issue with courage and clear. ness, .and institute a searching inquiry to the causes of decreased output, we are certainly drifting towards national bankruptcy. "Anything between 1,000 and 2,000. roDS per week of the beef anthracite coals can be obtained now if licences be allowed to the colliery companies, and wagon* and materials provided, and if the Govern- ment should put a stop to the slanderous l'tatements made in the press by inter- ested parties concerning the restriction of output practised by the miners it would assist to regain the lost confidence, and remove the suspicion that all this nervous excitement is only a poMcital move to prejudice the issnes raised by the reports of the Coed Commission. Honest Conservatives like Lord Robert Cecil eeem to understand the issues, and when he declared in the House of Commons on Monday last that the wage earner should hare a yoife in the management of the concern for whioh he worked, and greater control and share in the profits, he touched the tender spot that irritates the Jolly Rogers of the coal industry. The public should hold their verdict until it is proved where the real cause for the shortage of coal ie, for, ac I said already, the miners of the anthracite district are crying aloud for work, while the country cries for ooal, and this aatwfc be faced. Then, and not until then, will the whole truth concerning this serious matter become evident."
