ACID STOMACH ARE I OANOEHOyS. I COMMON" ADVICE BY A I DISTINGUISHED SPECIALIST. I "Acid" stomachs are dangerous be- cause acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining cf the stomach, thus hindering and preventing the proper I action of the stomach, and leadmg to nine-tenths cf the cases of stomach frouble from which people suffer. Medi- cines and medicinal treatments are I useless in such cuses, for they leave the J source of the trouble, the acid in the j stomach, as dangercj,s over. The acid must be neutralise:! and iLs forma- tien prevented, and the Jest thing for this purpose is half a veaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, a simple, antacid, taken in a little warm or cold waterj after eating, which not only neutralises: the acid, but also prevents the fermenta-1 tion from which ncidity is developed. j Foods which ordinarily cause greatest, distress can be eaten with impunity if the meal is followed with o little bi- surated magnesia, which can ))6 ch- tained of any chemist, and should al- ways be kept handy.

r X 1\ tJ -j -r   Exe?sE "U-'F j INDUCTION OF MEW VICAR OF ST. I PEl tS, GASM/tRiHtM I The Rev. B. Parry Griffiths, of Golden Grove, who recently exchanged I livings with. Archdeacon Owen Evans, was inducted as vicar of St. Peter's Parish, Carmarthen, before a crowded congregation, by the Bishop of St. David's, as already reported. In a sermon the bishop paid an elo- quent tribute to Archdeacon Evans, who lie referred to as a true and close friend for many years. During the twelve years he was vicar ot St. Peter's, tne archdeacon's lire was of a precious example of strength and wisdom, which came from a combination of sincerity, unseiiishness, and of sympathy of character. The parish record showed that -tiil w ork of the Church in the parish hd gone I forward in many directions during that time he laboured there, but what they I -tSOLLId love to remember mostly would ) be that when his rare ability was I needed to help the Church for some years in a very difficult situation, call- mg for a singular combination of great abilities they spared him, ana ¡ when through that thorough devotruu to duty, which marked his character, las health was impaired, they snowed him splendid sympathy. He (the Bishop) had read that those interested in Church reform thought [exchanges of livings were desirable. The appointment of a clergyman to a parish was always a very responsible duty, especially so in the case of so im- portant and central a parish as St. Peter's, and when tha appointment came by way of exchanges, the re- sponsibility was still greater. AU he could say was that in the discharge of his dutv of filling up vacant benefices, I he could humbly claim that ho had atted always with the single eye for t'ti a good of the Church, and on that occasion he had no hesitation in accepting the arrangement sugested. for two of the wisest judges of character he knew, who had opportu- nities of seeing the work of the Rev. B. Parry Griffiths in their own parish, eooke with the greatest emphasis of his sterling character and sound work. Bis lordship's own observation and knowledge of him fuUy confirmed the very strong judgment those exception- ally wise men formed of their new vicar. If anyone asked him what was I the feature that specially marked ont: tho parish, he would say it was their historical sense, their attachment to that sacred building, their determina- tion to keep up the great traditions of that historical parish, and the greatest treasure they could have was St. Peter's Church. Prior to the service, the Bishop in- ducted the Yen. Archdeacon Owen Evans as Vicar of Llanfihangel, Abeiby- thick. Golden Grove. There was a large congregation. I

ST AC E AND STALLS.  b!?LLS. I PROGRAMMES AT THE LOCAL I THEATRES AND KAILS. The Grand. I The Pink Lady" will be a succcpf by reason of the farcical comedy of the tseeoncj act. and the beauty and humour of the third. Despite the title cf the musical comedy adaptation, the chief interest is j centred round the antique dealer, Dan- didier, a-s is indicated in the title of the original French farce—" Le Satyre." This innocent and eminently respectable dealer in antiques ia compelled to undertake the role of Satry—or Sjiatyr, as he pronounces h through the inconsistency of Lucien, and the inquiaitiveness of the latter's fiancee. Anpcle, spurred on by her rejected suitor, .tfauri^ a,ad thwarted by her cousin Bebe The Pink Lady. Claudine, who apparently not possess the beet of reputations, is the cause of the trouble, and her wheedling of Donrtidier as dhe imitates him iu the kiss which allows of no scream, puts the wheedling scene in the "Merry Widow" into the yhade. It i" far from a "one-man show," and until the second act. when Don- didier makes his first ajipcarpjice, the II honours are perfectly even. The beauty of the lighting: at the opening: of the cafe 6cene evoked a general murmur of surprised de- ¡ light, and one would wish there were more I of the laun and -Ny-n-il)ii dance. The authors —Messrs. McLellan and han Caryii— have not altered the French atmcsihere which the chorus sustains. The cb'ffchar?tpr. the Satyr Dondidier, was taken by the famous comedian, Mr. Fred Wrigl:t, jun., who got every ounce out of the part, in I ">h,i';h he was ably agisted by an excellent I low comedienne, Miss Mabel Durrant. as his wife. Niis3 Hilda Vining, who v:on the hearts of Swansea audiences as Nadina in The Chocola.te Soldier," rook the title role, and had another very good waltz cons right at the erid of the xueet- The chief song, "Saskatchewan," fell to Bebe, undertaken by Mr. Walter Croos. who scored well. The /io^Qiu?>,i plot deals with the love affairs of I Lucien (Mr Percy Carr) and Angele (Miss I dadys Beach), and the rejected suitor. aulice (Mr. Robert Blythc). This, how ) over, is dwarfed by the farcical inform Mention should be made of the dancing of Miss Mynie Ma.yne with Mr. Percy Carr in he first act, and with Mr. Sylvanu6 Potts in the last. Mr. Michael Faraday ha»s sent down a strong company, with a chorus of forty and an augmented orchestra under Mr. Henry Waller j Theatre Royal. -v xcmaricahiy t:DG production of Alfred burro's great social play, The Walls of Jericho," iR being given at the Swansea neat re Royal this week by Mr. Ernest E. Norris'e principal company. It is a play which undoubtedly has a good moral eifest, to which ungrudging testimony has been given by raan.v ecclesiastical authorities. It is a piece which reveals the sins of May- fair. and is a bitter denunciation of tho "smart Ret." A Queenslandcr millionaire marries iuto society, bat the genuine, noble character of the man finds no place in the West End where he is looked upon as a bore, and the plot of the play centres round his effort to remove his wife, company is desired by the gambling, èn-in- leso. pleasure-seeking set, into a purer at- mosphere. The various scenes are prorluc tin; of some very the passages. Mr. Ernest Norris plays the part of Jack Frobisbcr, rhe hero of the piece, and with dramatic force and marvellons elocutionary power. he bitterly denouncc-s the surroundiuss into which his fortune has led him. Miss Ray Parry giveg a most charming ijourtrayal of Lady Alethea Frobisher, whose Bole ùe, sire in life is to be amused. Amongst th? varied situations one of the most clever scenes is that in which flan key Banuister makes love to Lady Lucy Derenham, roles which art, respecti.-e?v filled by Mr. Edwin A. Wheeler and Miss Lily O'Donohoc. Mr. Harold Greaves gives an excellent pounrayal of the Marquess of Steven ton, the brainless bankrupt peer. and other characters are most ably repre- sented by Mr. it. Watt, as Lord Drayton Mr. Charles Melling, as Harry Dallas; Miss Viola March, as Lady Westerby; Miss Mary Kinstsiey, as Lady Parchester; and Miss Beryl Paul, as the Duchess of Syko. The play is splendidly mounted, and on Mon- day night it was followed throughout with intense interest by a full and appreciative house. .-1.' I The Empire. L L. une woiicl lJJHf: to eeeK very iar 10 una a I cleverer ventriloquist than Tom Edwards, who returns to Swansea this week after a lens absence. Tom is an artist of great ability, and his patter and repartee are I really smart. This time he features "blood- less surgery," a novel skit on thz medical fraternity that kept the audiences roaring with laughter on Monday night. Wild, Willie, and West, the acrobatic navvies, are very smart, and quite in a, class by them- selves; indeed, their turn is one of the best of its kind we have se,3n for a long tirae. Fred Mcitland is a humourist who naver I fails to catch on in Swansea, and be and hi-i company this week are presenting a burlesque sketch. Xo. 1 Gerrard," that is quita to the liking of the audiences. "'he Van Der Koors are a success in their bur- le"que conjuring and "animal training" turn, and the antics cf Felix the duck are enough to make a cat lau?h," as the eay- ing goes. Park's Eton Boys and Girton Girls are as good as ever in their musical ¡ medley turn, and makes one wish longingly to be in a ecboci which contains so many ¡' pretty girls. Other exceedingly pleasing turns are Ch??s. 'Lswi?, novelty ventrilo- quist; Ethel Newman, in a. miniature comedy "The Widow"; and Stella and Stanley, presenting nin?inE 1nd dancing, patter, and hat and stick mMupul?tois. Mention must also be made of the pictures, which are very good. On Monday night there was used for the first time the new bioscope machine, which is quite the latest j thing of its kind, and which has only just ¡ been installed. The Picture House. I The Picturo Rouse is whore people pass ) pleasurable moment* in gazing on picture ) plays. Plenty of love romance, drama and ¡ a stormy human interest is the order of the I film Tliis week the programme is of ex- ¡ ceeding merit end includes many good stories in superb settings. Two are there of more than passing interest. One is "The Little Organ Play-ar of Ban Juan," end the I other Miss Irakii of Tokio." "The Absent- minded Vakt" elicits roars of laughter, and M does "FunmcuQ ?r?na?i-p." "Ani- lllated Putty" iti extraordinary, Pat he's Gazette" of the world's news fully main- tains its reputation, whilst "Tuntt" makes one long to visit that beautiful city of stately structures anil Shaftesbury and PaJace. i Those wao visit these popular nails are always sure of seeing the very latest and best productions of the bioscopic art. Variety is the keynote this week, and the pictures are excellent. "A Woman's Wiles" is one of those intense dramas, full of ex- citing incidents, depicting with wonderful vividness, the strugvle between the rival passions, love and hate. Of course, the picturo ends in the triumph of the former, which is as it should be. "Suzie to Su- zanne." a beautiful love story :1cted with all the charm which plioto-play patrons expect from the Vit-agraph Co. Suzie is transformed from an unsophisticated girl into the intelligent Suzanne. How ali this is brought about must be seen to be appre- ciated. "Pathe's Gazette" iR full of in- formation, and, as usual, is a very accept- able item- Other pictures shown are "Around Agra and Lucknow'' and "From the Depths Oxford Electric Theatre. in '.tlie Pyrenees, A n-o,or boar.

Each is of powerful interest, and the management have indeed been ha.ppy in their choice. We cannot too highly recommend this piece of pleasure to lovers of high-clans pictures, for good taste characterises all tbo films. The Tivoli. I There was a good house at this popular place of amusement la:, night. The per. formance opened out nicely with 'A Eo- mance of the Western Hills," being quickly lolloped by "Fianicus Serenade." "The j Animated Putty" created much fun, whilst "The Little Organ Player of San Juan" was a film that seemed to please all. "file Ab. scnt-minded Valet" is a drama that is a1- ways well appreciated, and it.s performance on Monday night was no exception. The other turns which were very amus.ing were "Turin," "Miss Taku of Tokio," and "The Village Blacksmith." J Valiev Amusements. I A very high standard of entertainment is ¡ still the order of the day at Mr. Willi.am Couttc-' Valley Halls. Although there were counter-attractions on Monday night, there were splendid attendances in each place.

D i k aiitt h (- "The Affair of an Egg," "Dick and the Hustle Lotion." "The Xiiock-.ptit," "Love of Long: Ago," The Ring of a, Spanish Grandee," The Talisman," ATrip up the Seine," and "Opitsah."

Ferry- side. and T. Phillips, Llandovery. Tho services will be coiftinued to-day and to-morrow. The now chapel is built near the old edihee, and the building committee are to be congratulated on their selection of design. The interior, with its lofty, open timbered roof, and windows of obscured glass in the aisles, and rich- coloured windows over the pulpit, has an impressive effect. On one side of the pulpit is the organ chamber, and the opposite side of the transept can be l utilised either as a schoolroom or I vestry. The heating is by means of j hot-water apparatus, while the lighting is by acetylne gas. The exterior walls are relieved by free-stone dressing in the porch, win- dows, and gables. The open space sur- j rounding the chapel has been planted with shrubs, and is enclosed by a low wall and railing. The contractor was Mr. John Daniel, of Bronwydd Arms, who worked from the design and under the superinten- deuce of Messrs. George Morgan and Son, Carmarthen.

A NEW WAY TO JLFLAKE HAIR I MS'? AIE HAIR I AMAZINC POPULARITY OF THE I MONEY-BACK PLAN. "Heads, I win; taiks, you lose," seems to have been the arrangement under which the manufacturers of hair tonics, washes and lotions have sold their preparations since the vorv be- ginning. The buyer took all the rusk. The seller was sure -of his profit. If, as frequently occurred, tho results were unsatisfactory, the buyer was cordially invited to "try it again "—more profit for the maker—.more risk for the buyer. A ono-sided arrangement, truly. Ail this, however, has now been changed by the discovery of a tonic which is "good enough to be guaran- teed." The manufacturers of Lavona I Hair Tonic, formerly known as Harriett Meta's Gold Medal Hair Tonic, after a I most exhaustive test, in which over twenty thousand botti,?s were used, found t?.t it gave satisfactkm in more than 99 c?ses in a hundred, and they l therefore arranged that a signed per- sonal guarantee of satisfaction or money back should be given with every bottle i by the chemist who sold it. No matter I what your hair or scalp trouble may be. you can buy a bottle from your chemist on these terms, and if after using it you are in any wa\ dissatisfied, taka the guarantee' back to your chemist. and he will return your money. Fair. isn't it? If it pleased you, you win; and if it doesn't please you, you can't lose.

IN THE ARGENTINE. In contemporary jo;;rn-Iism atten- tion is frequently directed to the Argentine as a region of gve.at promise for the beneficial employment of capital and for the material rewards of enter- prise. In tho main those contentions are justified by the opinions of those "f ex- pert knowledge, and by the known great natural resources of the country and its abounding fertility. This evid- ence is further reinforced by the suc- cess which has attended the many busi- ness houses from this side of the workl who have established themselves in the Argentine Republic. It is exceedingly gratifying to tind that among these the English a.re acknowledged on all sides as tho leading nation, both for tho magnitude and for the sta-bility of their enterprises. The latest, and we believe the most important, of any undertakings originating in England we have judged to be of- siifficlei-ti, interest to present to our readers. It is the construction and equipment in the capital City— Buenos Aires--of new head premises for the South American bronch of Maple and Co. who have for some years carried on a business in the Argentine similar to that- which, has made their name a bousehold ward over here. In one revpeot this building would merit I attention even if its founda- tions were being Jaid in Regent-street instead of in the Calle Suipacha. It is one of the very few if not the only ex- ample of a structure of great bulk specially planted for tho purposes of a largo retail business, the design, con- struction and equipment of which ha.s been u noortaken b S. the separate 000- tions of the actual working staff of the parent, establishment commercial, technical and artistic. The building, even for a Furopoan capital, is large and costly. .„„„
