The attack we made was a big raid into the second line after blowing everything up and clearing the lot as well as capturing prisoners. Bombardier D. J. Davies, of the Can- adians, writes—Things are going on nicely at present. We are proud to receive the news daily of the great advance. I hope that peace will not be declared until we achSeye sufficjefnt ftuooess to carry out Premier Asquith's vow. Pte. E.

Mrs. Edward Jones having been thanked she acknowledged the vote con- gratulated the school on its progress, and impressed on the pupils that during this period of great stress it was their duty to do everything they could to help the country. Labour, however menial, pos- sessed a great dignity. Let them not be afraid of rough and stained hands, but do their duty with courage. It was some- times said that education spoiled boys and girls for practical work. Let that not be said of the pupils of Machynlleth County School. Mr. Evan Jones, senior assistant master who has been appointed headmaster of Llanfair Caereinion School, in wishing Machynlleth goodbye, said that when he started at Machynlleth the pupils num- I bered twelve only. He had spent a very happy time at Machynlleth and left the school and the town with feelings of deep regret.

THE QUESTION OF HEALTH. There is an old saying A stitch in time saves nine," and if upon the first symptom* of anythng being wrong with our health we were to resort to some simple but proper mean. of correcting the mischief, nine tenths of the suffering that invades our homes would be avoided. The body is a machine full of intricate and delicate mechanicism and when one part is im- peded it gradually throws the whole out of gear unless it is quickly put right. A celd, a chill, a touch of indigestion or liver complaint, a pain in the loins or the little indiscretions to which in the hurry and turmoil of life we are all prone (such as eating too quickly, not taking sufficient rest, worrying too much over our troubles, etc., etc.), all tend to bring about a dead took in some part of the human mechanicism or a weakening or slowing down of the whole. A good bracing tonic, one that will revitalise and will wind up all the mach- inery, will at such tmes work greater wonders than a long course of nauseous medicines. A dose of Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters taken when you feel the least bit out of sorts is just that "stitch in time." The question of health is a matter which is sure to concern us at one time or another, especially when Influenza is 80 prevalent as it is just now, so it is well to know what to take to ward off an attack of this most weakening disease, this epidemic, catarh, or cold of an aggravated kind to combat it whilst under its baleful influence, and particularly after an attack, for then the system is so lowered as to be liable to the most dangerous of complaints Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters is acknow- ledged by all who have given it fair trial to be the best specific remedy for dealing with Influenza in all its various stages, being a preparation skilfully prepared with Quinine and accompanied with other blood purifying and enriehing agents, suitable for the liver, digestion, and all those ail- ments requiring tonio strengthening and nerve increasing properties. It is invalu- able for those suffering with colds, pneumonia, or any serious illness, or prostration caused by sleeplessness, or worry of any kind, when the body has a general feeling of weakness and lassitude. Don't delay, but try it now. Send for a copy of the pamphlet of testimonials, which carefully read and consider well, then buy a bottle (sold in two sizes, 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d.) at your nearest Chemist or Stores, but when purchasing see that the name "Gwilym Evans" is on the label, stamp and bottle, for without which none are genuine.

Davies-Foulkes Jones. WEDDING AT ROCK FERRY. T f mf!Tlage to°k place on Wednesday, ijhm-rf n 1^ „ ^uQeld Congregation^ rry> a tav<>uri-e resi- dential district on the Cheshire side of tue Mersey. e The bridegroom was Mr. John Rees Davies, son of the late Mr. D.

John Foulkes Jones, it-A and of Mrs. Foulkes Jones, Machynlleth." Tastefully, though not elaborately de- corated, the Church in which the cere- mony was performed presented a pretty appearance, the effect being heightened by the floral tribute of a basket of white heather by a friend. Another feature of the ceremony was the fact that the bridal music was per- formed by Mr. William Rees, a grandson of the Welsh poet and divine-the Rev. Dr. William Rees (Gwilym Hiraethog). The Pov. Ounllo Davies, Machynlleth, and the Rev. William Carson, minister of Highfield Congregational Church, officia- ted. Mr. Saunders Rees, brother of the bridegroom, acted as best man. The bride. who was given away by her brother (Mr. Lewis Foulkes Jones, of London), wore a pretty gown of light grey taffeta, trimmed with lace and ninon, -with touches of turquoise blue. Miss Margaret Foulkes Jones, mece of the bride, was the only bridesmaid in attendance. Her dress was of cream net, hooped with small pink and blue roses. She wore a hat of black crinoline, trimmed with pale blue ribbon, and shell pink underlining. Both bride and 'bridesmaid carried a bouquet of pink and mauve sweetpeas. Following the ceremony a reception was held at Hillside, Rock Ferry, the resi- dence of Mr. and Mrs. John Edwards, brother-in-law and sister of the bride, at

Death of Miss Tomlins, ABERDOVEY LADY DIES IN LONDON* The sad news of the death of Miss Itoss romlins was received at Aberdovey with deep sorrow. Miss Tomlins had been in indifferent health for about twelve months. A few weeks ago she went to London to consult a specialist; but in spite of the best medical attention and nursing, she passed away at the residence of her brother (Mr Herbert Tomlins) at Brondes- bury on Sunday morning of last week.

Or Tbe Test of Time. 1 J Father Time is the great revealer of all shams. Sooner or later he ex* LJ I"™ poses the false and the make-believe. Only the things that are true and jl real can survive the test of time. Year after yeart decade after decade, II Beecham's Pills have been the one and only household medicine in many II J thousands of homes. In city and in hamlet, alike, they have been LJ "1 equally appreciated. And their popularity, to-day, is greater than ever. "t They have emerged triumphant from the trying test of time. This is I because they are really efficacious in doing what they claim to do. What I they promise they perform. They are a true remedy and a very real E relief in all cases of indigestion, biliousness, constipation, sluggish action B of the Kidneys, and the nervous troubles resulting from these conditions.
