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 pure in a few days. One bottle is ample to cure any ordin- ary case, and has given almost immediate relief in hundreds of rases 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 priee. Address: H. T.

Comforts for Fighters. ON A MINESWEEPER.. Appended are extracts from letters re- ceived by R.S.M. Fear from Aberystwyth men on active service abroad. Driver W. C. Oampbell writes from Egypt-As we are situated on a desert a cig., especially from Aber., cheers us a great deal. When I receive the "Cambrian News" from home I notice ad the letters of thanks which are sent to you for your kindness. My pals wish they came from Aber. All the Aber. boys in this column are in the best of health. Corpl. Ivor Ellis writes—I feel, and I think aiil who have had occasion to write letters of thanks to you feel the same, that first and foremost you yourself are to be thanked as you are and have been the guiding l ght of the movement. One oi the great evidences of the good comrade- ship among all ranks out here is the way the parcels are shared out. It is not a case of "You give me a share of yours and I'll give you a share of mine," for there are many unfortunates out here who seldom, iff ever, get such luck m-red out to them. Pte. D. Morgan writes from hospital at Oswestry that he has had another bit of shrapnel taken off his chest and he is getting on fine. T. O. Jones, writing from a mine- sweeper, says—I was delighted to get the little card enclosed. The cards are beau- tifully worded and are thoroughly read and inwardly digested, as it is rarely we are able to attend divine service and have no prayers every day like they have on the big ships. We have been doing great and dangerous work, for which we were com- plimented by the King of Belgium, who with the Queen and Princes inspected us. Very little is heard of what we go through; but it will startle the woifld to know what the minesweepers have done. Thank- ing you again and praying that God may spare and help you to carry on your good work. Pte. J. S. Owen writes-It reminds me of old Aber. and friends when I get your gift.. I think of kind friends who con- tribute so well and regularly to the fund. j The Bosche is fairly well beaten, but it will I take some time to beat him joutright. I have met three Aber. boys—Archie Potts, [ Harry White, and W. Evans, also a few from Bow-street One of them was a cor- poral who has had the military medal. It was very good of the young ladies who made the collection -at the sand castle on the beach. Seaman Gunner J. Pugh writes-My mates and myself look forward to your ever-welcome parcel. It is so good of you and the kind friends to do so much for us. I hope the time is not far distant when we slAll be home again. It is a j case of slow and sure, ] Driver W. Gittins writes—We are giving the Huns more than they want in these big battles. They are glad to give them- I selves up to us. Leading Seaman Guner R. A. Jones writes- The cigs smoke a treat in the North Sea. We ad think a lot of you. Even our messmates seem to know you as weti as we do. R. T. Martin, writing from sea, says- Things are looking well at the front and 'everything is all "Sir Garnet" here, so now we shan't be long. The cold weather I is setting in now, but it will not freeze our spirits. We have had so much of it that we are beginning to like it. Pte. D. L. Jones writes—The boys in the billet send their best wishes to you and Aber. friends, wishing your scheme every success and wishing they belong to Aber. I met a few Aber. boys in the Welsh Guards and we spent a pleasant evening. It did remind me of home. I heard they have been in action and I hope they have come through all right as they had hard fighting. Grateful acknowledgments have also been received from Ptes. R. Lewis, J. Roderick Davies, E. Worthington, E. de Lloyd, Sapper W. D. Humphreys, Sig- naller D. Richards, Pioneer W. Vaughan, tn Rifleman W. Brown, Corporal D, Edwards, Drivers G. S. White, D. Rice, W. J.

The amount previously acknowledged was B555 10s. 2d., making a total of B540 17s. Od. Thirty-three parcels have been sent this week at a cost of P,5 10s. Id. The reci- pients include thirteen new names and five wounded men in home hospitals. The con- tributions for the week total PS 6s. lOd. R.S.M. Fear repeats his request for the names of local men serving abroad or on sea who have not received a parcel in response to acknowledgments, as it is pos- sible that the parcels sent to them have gone astray. He would like also to have, the name of anyone not on his list of re- cilpients, as well as the names of local wounded men now in hospitals at home who have not received a parcel since they came from abroad. He is anxious that none should be overlooked Capt. G. D. Ellis, C.S.M. D. J. Davies, C.S.M. H. Cooke, and Lance-corpl. D. Rowlands, in a letter to R.S.M. Fear, dated September 29th, from "Dug-out, Front line, somewhere in Belgium" state- Four Abe*, boys gathered together are thinking of home and as a result your name cropped up. We send you greet- ings. We are all well and cheerful at last. The sun shines on us 'after five days rain and so we have something to be thankful for.

AUTUMN RECREATION. There is no recreation comparable to reading. In the autumn especially, when the days are drawing in, and the weather changeable out-door recreations are not. obtain,able-then the book tomes to its ( own. There is in Aberystwyth at the, "Cambrian News" Stores an excellent fiction library and the rates are low enough to suit all. There is no deposit and twopence secures a book for seven days. The best terms are to subscribers who for 2s. a month can have a volume whenever they like or the same privilege can be secured for three months for 4s., six months for 6s. or a year for 10s. 6d. Terms for two or three volumes to be changed at will are equally satisfactory.

National Eisteddfod. WHAT THE SOLDIERS THINK. Alderman T. J. Samuel presided on Monday evening over the first meeting of the Executive Committee since the National Eisteddfod at Aberystwyth. It was reported that practicably all out- standing bills had been passed for pay- ment; but the balance sheet was not yet ready for publication. Mr. L. F. Foster, L.O.W., was appointed to audit the .ac- counts. A further meeting will be held to close the accounts and allocate the funds. Votes of thanks were accorded Mr. W. H. Williams, superintendent of the Cam- brian Railways, and Mr. John Rees, divi- sional superintendent of the Great West- ern <Ra1way, for the special railway facili- ties they provided on the Eisteddfod days. It was also agreed to issue commemorative cards expressing the Committee's grat;tude to stewards and others for their voluntary services. Mr. T. Lewis Old reported that copies of the Oymanfa programmes continued to be sold and that 100 had lately been sent to Egypt. Gunner Jarman, in a letter to the Gen- eral Secretary of the National Eisteddfod, wrote—I was reading in my bivouac "somewhere in Macedonia" of the great speech made by Mr. Lloyd George at your Eisteddfod in Aberystwyth. The heading was "Song in War Time." The grand little man was denouncing the gloomy ones. I thought it great the way he put it before them, hoping that I will be there the next time it is held. I was very glad to hear it was a success. I am a Welsh Tommy who is delighted to hear some good singing and never more pleased than when I am on the stage with a good male voice party. Cymru am byth. Pte. A. T. Lee, also writing from Salon- ica to R.S.M. Fear, says—We still have it warm here and still got the fHes, so that we are kept pretty lively with one thing and another. I have been reading all about the Eisteddfod in the "Cambrian News." It must have been a wonderful thmg to hear those 10,000 voices. I would like to have been there. I am glad it was a success. Aber. rarely fai's when it takes things up. I was also pleased to hear there were so many visitors.

THE QUESTION OF HEAIM. j There is an old saying A stitdh in time saves nine," and if upon the first symptoms 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 -ating too quickly, not taking sufficient ,est, worrying too much over our troubles, etc., etc.), all tend to bring about a dead look in some part of the human mechanicism •7T 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 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 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 Elvans' 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 tonic strengthening and nerve increasing properties. It is invalu- able for those suffering with col. 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 carefullv read and consider well. then buy a bottle (sold in two sizes, 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d.) at your nearest Chemist or Storee, but when purchasing see that the name Gwilym Evans" is on the label, stamp and bottle, for without which none are genuine.
