To DEAF PEOPLE. Deafness and Noises in the Head can now be most certainly cured by the newly-discovered "French Orlene." This new remedy goes right to the actual seat of the trouble, and effects a complete and lasting cure in a few days. One bottle is ample to cure any ordin- ary case, and has given almost immediate relief in hundreds of cases which had been considered hopeless." Try one bottle to-day, which can be for- warded securely packed and post-paid to any address upon receipt of postal or money order for 2s. 9d. There is nothing better at any price. Address: H. T.

Talybont Man Wounded. I Private J. W. PARKES, S.W.B. I Before joining the colours Private J. W Parkes was in the employ of Mr. Edward Evans, Lerry Stores where, having been invalided home, he is now recuperating. On March 25th a batch of seventeen soldiers, including Private Parkes, were mined and gassed. Three escaped un- injured. Two were blown into the air, and of the other twelve no remains could be found. Parkes was blown into the air and remained unconscious for six days. Having been gassed, pneumonia and bronchitis set in. After a month he was removed to Calais to undergo an opera- tion.

1- A Cardiganshire Parliamentary Candidate. Mr. Hugh Edwards, Liverpool, a native of the district between Talybont and Tal- iesin, who has in recent years declined in- vitations to become Parliamentary candi- date for Fjnglish constituencies, is spoken of as a Liberal candidate for a Welsh seat in the next election. In his younger days Mr Edwards contemplated entering the Methodist ministry and when a pupil at Jasper House School, Aberystwyth, re- ceived a pressing invitation by the late Bishop of St. David's and Dean Phillips to take orders in the Church. He, how- ever, decided on a business career in which he has been successful in Liverpool. Years ago he was a frequent visitor to Aberyst- wyth and often contributed letters to the "Cambrian News" on current political questions affecting Wales. His recent visit home was on the occasion of the burial of his aged mother at Talybont. Thirty years ago Mr. Edwards proposed, in con- nection with disestablishment, the forma- tion of a Welsh parliamentary party and in the next session a party was formed with Sir Osbonie Morgan as its chairman, who was succeeded by the late Lord Rendel. He also took a prominent part in obtaining for the University of Wales at Aberystwyth the same amount of Government grant as was given to the colleges at Bangor and Cardiff.

BLAENPLWYF. MEMORIAL.—On Friday a beautiful and costly marble memorial tablet was put up on the wall of the chapel in memory of Mr. William Rowlands, Cwrtycwm. It was the intention of Miss Rowlands, his grand-daughter, that the unveiling should take place in a special public meeting; but in present circumstances she thought it advisable not to hold a meeting. The words engraved on the tablet are in Welsh and translated as follows:—"Sow abund- antly; reap abundantly. In memory of William Rowlands Cwrt-y-cwm. Born 1778: fell asleep, 1859. A painstaking deacon of this church for 55 years. Prom- inent and beloved in his Monthly Meeting and the Association of the South and Bala and precentor in the Associations of Llan- goitho and Aberystwyth for 50 years. A memoir was printed, with a preface bv Roberts, Llangeitho. The gift of his grand-daughter."

Comforts for Fighters. STORIES OF THE BIG PUSH. "I appreciate the kindness shown to me," writes Seaman Evan A. Jones to it S.M. Fear in acknowledgment of the parcel of comforts sent from the Aberyst- wyth weekly fund, "and I am sure all Aber. boys on active service feel the same. Convey my gratitude to the towns- people for constantly thinking of us. A lot of us in the Fleet wish we could do more than we are doing now; but the I Germans will not come out and face us. They have done it once or twice; but they soon turned tail when we came in sight. I was sorry to learn that Aber. has lost more men at the front and I sincerely sympathise with their relatives. We can only hope that their deaths will be repaid by a sure and complete victory." Seamen Ben White. J. Warrington, Jas. Jenkins, M. D. Hughes, and W. E. Davies have also sent grateful acknowledg- ments. Driver E. P. Lewis writes-The cigs are more than ever welcome at Salonica, as our camp is far from any place where we can get some. I feel that I am on active service at last. We work hoard from morn- ing till night. We go on a convoy not far from the firing line every day. The Bulgars are going to get something before long- more than they will like to take. It is much cooler here than in Egypt. We have some hills to climb. Pendinas is not in it. Pte. J. H. Jones writes that he was hit by a bit of shrapnel and is now in hospi- tal clerking, which he calls a "lucky pac- ket" from Fritz. Lance-Corpl. J. Land writes-You may depend on it I was very pleased to receive your welcome gift. I have no need to tell you how glad I was. The smoking is the most pleasant task I have had for a long time. Everything seems to be in our favour and I feel sure that the war is slowly but surely drawing to a close. Drummer H Humphreys writes-When in the trenches the cigs. give us a lot of comfort. We all smoke your good luck. We have had a very warm time indeed; but we are the "bhoys" to carry on and we mean to do so as our people at home never seem to forget us. We are thinking I of you always and wishing you the best of luck to carry on the good work you are doing for us. It gives us heart to do our duty Pte. W. "Syms writes-We have been busy in the big push. It does one good to know one is not forgotten by the good people of Aber. I am glad to know the E steddfod was such a success. Pte. W. Lewis writes that he was wounded in the side and shoulder on July 4th and was in hospital for six weeks. He was sent to the base and being unfit for the trenches has been placed in a camp close to the line guarding and escorting prisoners. "So I shall still be doing my bit till the end of the war," he adds, "health and strength permitting, thank God. I was wounded in the second ad- vance. I was also in the first advance on July 1st and came out without a scratch. Words cannot describe the first advance. I thank you and all dear friends for their kindness." Pte. T. Spencer writes—It is very good of you and the people of Aber. to keep us boys supplied with cigflrettes out here. It is only a matter of time now before the bovs come hanw. Farrier-Cbrpl. W. Thomas writes that he was taken ill in August and spent that month in hospital. Acknowledgments have also been re- ceived from Sappers W. Rees, A Mason, Pte. Purnell, and Driver R. Williams. j

Towyn Banker Killed. son of Mrs. Williams, Towyn, and of the late Rev. O. E. Williams, O.M., iennal, and nephew of Mrs. Win. Richards, Mar- ket-screet, and of Mrs. Genese, St David s- road, Aberystwyth. Corporal Williams leit the L.Ir. Bank to join the forces and was killed in action on September 10th at the age of twenty-two years. H. L. Tyer, officer commanding deceased's company, writing to Mrs. W illiams, said he wsa not in the habit of bestowing praise where none is due, but it was a great satisfaction to him to be able to say that her son was one of the best under his command during twenty-one months service in France On the evening of the 9th September de- ceased's company was sent to a position Corporal ARTHUR OWEN WILLIAMS, (ililot,o, jJavies ana son, Pier-street). which was being heavily shelled and his conduct all through that anxious night was beyond all praise. Rarely had the writer seen men so oblivious of all danger as he was. On the 10th a further advance had to be made during which Corpl. Williams met his death by rifle fire. Such men as deceased were not met every day He was a pleasure and a pride to have him under his command. He (the commanding offi- cer) pointed out to the survivors after the battle what an outstanding example of coolness and courage Corporal Williams was.

Penparke Soldier. Private JOHN DAVIES, S.W.B., Panteg, Penparke wounded at the Marne and went through the Gallipoli campaign.

THE QUESTION OF HEALTH. There is an old saying A stitch in time saves nine," and if upon the first symptoms I 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 cold, 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 mating too quickly, not taking sufficient test, worrying too much over our troubles, etc.. etc.), all tend to bring about a dead look 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 tmeg 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 so 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 OOld 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 enriching 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 carefullT read and consider well, then buy a bottle (sold in two sizes, 2s. 9d. and 48. 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.
