Official Testimony to the value of FORMAMINT The Germ-Killing Throat Tablet. IF you are subject to Sore Throat or Tonsillitis, you will be in- terested in the following extract from an official report published by the Principal Medical Officer of the Officers' Training Corps, Aldershot: "Ton-iiUitia—This painful affection was in former years a source of much trouble Experiments which I made convinced me that in Formamint I had a powerful prophylactic. I therefore had a memo circulated among O.C. Detachments, recommending its general use, and the result has far more than justified my anticipation As a proof of the value of Formamint, I may mention that although Tonsillitis was very prevalent in 'Aldershot this year, we had only a few mild cases^instead of the numerous cases in former years." M.O.'g are not in the habit of coddling their men, nor of recommending any but the most efficient remedies; so you may be quite sure that there is no wiser precaution than to take Formamint whenever you are in danger of catching Sore Throat, Tonsillitis, Influenza, 0.. other infectious diseases. 1 The Sore Throat Remedy 1 A practical test will convince you that Formamint Tablets citre Sore Throat as effectually as they prevent it. They do this by sterilising your mouth and throat with a unique antiseptic which destroys the qerms that causp" So* e 7 hroat and also exerts a healing, pain-soothing action on the injured tissues. These remedial effects are felt immediately you begin to suck the tablets, and continue unabated until the throat is thoroughly normal. Even the most obstinate cases yield to this method within twenty-four hours-usually much sooner. Get genuine Formamint Nothing is more convenient and pleasant to take than Formamint; and unlike the imitation tablets, which contain crude uncombined formalin, it is guaranteed to be absolutely harmless. Whether in the Army or in civilian life you need Formamint at this time of the year, and should always keep it handy. Buy a bottle at your chemist's to-day-price 2/2-but be sure you get the genuine original kind, manufactured at 12, Chcnies Street, London, W.C.I, by Genatosan, Ltd.

--Aberystwyth Council.¡
Aberystwyth Council. ¡ Aberystwyth Town Council met on Tuesday, present Alderman C. M. Williams, mayor, pre- siding; Alderman John Evans, Edwin Morris, E. P. Wvnne, T. J. Samuel, and Daniel Thomas; 'Councillors Captain Doughton, J. Barclay Jenkins, T. J. Morrison, Rufus Williams, Robert Doughton, Dr. Harries, Lieut. B. T. Llovd, David Ellis, J. D. Williams, Rhys Jones, John Morgan, and Enoch Davies; Jfessrs. A. J. Hughes, town clerk; John Evans, deputy town clerk; Rees Jones, borough sur- veyor; Gomel- Morgan, borough accountant; and James Evans, sanitary inspector. CORRESPONDENCE. Messrs.Price and Jones, Mill-street, wrote applying for the leasu of two houses at the corner of Brewer and Cambrian-streets for the erection of a garage. Referred to Finance Committee. Mr. John Lewis, secretary of the Aberyst- wyth and District Co-operative Society, wrote enclosing a resolution protesting against the Council's action in appointing a food control committee consisting of several members engaged in private trade without giving repre- sentation to co-operators. Referred to Food Control Committee. Mr. Daniel Davies, sec- retary North Cardiganshire Trade Union and Labour Council, wrote asking for three labour representatives on the Food Committee. The Deputy Clerk said he had replied that the Committee was at its full strength, and the Mayor believed the membership could not be increased. A letter was received from Mr. Greer relat- ing to charges for water and was referred to the Works Committee. the Mayor remarking that the matter had been very fully discussed before the charges were fixed. CLOSING HOURS. The Chamber of Trade wrote suggsting the following closing hours for the winter months Monday, 7 o'clock; Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 6; and Saturday, 8; and the suggestion was approved. Mr. Barclay Jenkins suggested that the Education Authority should close schools at 3-30 in order to enable household arrangements to be ma-de before shops were closed at six. That was done in other towns. The schools could start in the afternoon at 1-30 or 1-45. Dr. Harries said the change was also advis- able from a health point of view. If the schools closed earlier children could have a bit more exercise. Mr. Enoch Davies said it was done in Den- bighshire and it was a step in the right direction. It was agreed to write to the local Educa- tion Authority. CONG RATULATO RY. Mr. Morrison said that one of the members of the Council, of whom they all thought well -Captain George Fossett Roberts-had been promoted to the rank of major. The town would be glad to hear of it and he suggested that the Council should send its congratula- tions. The Mayor said he should be pleased to move a proposition to that effect. He was sure it was also the pleasure of the Council to give a hearty welcome to Lieut. Llovd whom they were delighted to see looking so well. They all hoped to see him back for good with the war victoriously ended. The Council ought to be proud of the fact that three of its mem- bers had joined voluntarily and were on active service for their country-11"ajor Roberts, Lieut. Llovd, and Captain Llewollin. WORKS COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The Public Works Committee reported that the Chairman, the Mayor, and Councillors David D avies, David Ellis and Rhys Jones were appointed Town Planning Committee to con- sider the provision of houses after the war and the report of the Welsh Housing and Development Association on housing schemes. It was resolved that a further war bonus of 2s. a week be given to Corporation workmen. Four tenders were received for the carrying out of improvements to the north wing of the Town Hall, and that of Messrs John Jenkins and Sons, Bridge-street, at JE222 5s. was accepted. A committee was appointed to meet the Rural Council on the subject of Clarach footpath. The Committee reported a conference with the local coal merchants and the passing of a resolution asking the mer- chants to confer and submit to the Council a statement showing what quantities of coal they are likely to secure for the coming winter and that the Council should co-operate in getting the boundary of the proposed coal dis- tricts modified, enabling Aberystwyth to still get coal from Staffordshire, Shropshire, and North Wales. Alderman Daniel Thomas said he had heard complaints of the condition of the path over Constitution Hill and proposed that the Sur- veyor should keep it in order all the year -round Alderman John Evans said the path was attended to at the commencement of the season. The Surveyor was asked to see to the work and the Mayor said a note would be made of Mr. Morrison's suggestion tIL: t a sign should be fixed showing the branch path to Cwni. Alderman John Evans said he was asked every week as to old iron at the Corporation yard. He asked the Committee nine months ago to consider the matter and thought it had since, with the Deputy Town Clerk, done very well. From the sale of metal in the Cor- poration Yard only £ 730 9s. 6d. had been re- ceived. (Hear, hear). There was more at Ystrad Meurig, but the sale had not yet been completed. He should like stock taken in January and March of each year of old material in hand and new material bought in order to have an exact record. In the amount stated was E38 8s. 6d. for old brass, lead, and copper. Old material should be sold every year and not be allowed to accumulate. The Mayor said there was a stock book but no inventory of old material, and the Sur- veyor added that there was a stock book and stock was also taken before the 25th March and presented to the Auditor. Alderman John Evans said he wanted to know what material was in hand and how long it had been in hand. The Mayor agreed that old material should be sold periodically; but in the present instance it had been advantageous to have an accumu- lation because instead of getting about E2 a ton for old material the Corporation had re- ceived JE7 or £8 a ton. The Works Committee would consider tTie suggestions made. The report was adopted. GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The Committee stated that three letters were read from Inspector Richards reporting over- loading by boatmen which, however, was rectified at his request. It was resolved to take no proceedings, but that the Deputy Clerk should warn the offenders that a repeti- tion of the offence would result in legal pro- ceedings. The Deputy Clerk was also instructed to write to licensed boat owners and boatmen informing them that complaints had been made respecting overloading, overcharging, and boats returning before expiration of hiring time, warning them that in future offences legal proceedings would be taken. Mr. W. P. Owen wrote on behalf of several boatmen making complaint against the Inspector. The boatmen were asked to meet the Committee, but as none attended the matter was allowed to drop. I was agreed to continue the services of the Municipal Band to the 28th September. The report was adopted. COMMITTEE OF WHOLE COUNCIL. A Committee of the Whole Council reported that Mr. Henry Woodhall, chairman of the Gas Company, and others attended the meet- ing. Mr. Woodhall fully explained the pro- posed regulations regarding the sale and dis- tribution of coal and how the regulations would affect the inhabitants of the town in regard to the future supply of gas and of coal. The Committee recommended that a deputation consisting of the Mayor, Mr. Vaughan Davies, M.P., Mr. Woodhall, the Town Clerk, and a representative of local coal merchants should wait on the Coal Controller and submit a state- ment of facts with a view, if possible of ex- cepting Aberystwyth from the operation of the regulations. The Mayor stated that considerable corres- pondence had taken place, but up to the present the interview had not been arranged. SANITARY COMMITTEE. Dr. Harries brought up the report of the Sanitary Committee which stated that the Board of Fisheries was treating the Council's application for the removal of restrictions on motor trawling in Cardigan Bay as a matter of immediate urgency, though it is doubtful whether a 5-inch mesh would be allowed within the three-mile limit. Letters were read from mine managers as to the best kind of smelting 1 ] plant to be set up in the district, and the Town Clerk was instructed to write to the Minister of Munitions explaining the import- ance of establishing an adequate plant for smelting lead, blende, etc., and asking for his support. The Water and the Sanitary In- spector presented reports. Dr. Harries called attention to a leakage in the lower reservoir, and the Surveyor said it would be seen to as soon as the season was over. Referring to fishing, Dr. Harries said the Council knew what a matter of immediate urgency" meant. FINANCE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. Mr. Barclay Jenkins brought up the report of the Finance Committee which recommended payments amounting to £ 1,964 12s. lid. The sum of E674 14s. 2(1. had been collected out of E2,126 5s 5id. arrears of ground rents; E112 6s. 6d. out of E147 12s. 7d. workmen's houses, and JE54 6s. 2d. out of JE66 2s. 5d. borough fund properties. The Committee resolved to terminate the County School tenancy of the playfield on Llanbadarn Flats with the view of increasing the rent. Mr. Morrison thought that the arrears of ground rents were large after so good a sum- mer season; but Mr. Barclay Jenkins ex- plained that the greater portion had become due since May and that a large sum would be got in before the next meeting. A report of a special Finance Committee was also brought up by Mr. Barclay Jenkins who stated that fresh arrangements had been made with regard to Brynymor Estate and that some expense would be incurred in putting the property in order. With regard to the purchase by the Corporation cf 46, Marine- terrace, it was a move in the right direction. If the town was to progress it was essential to make it as convenient and attractive as possible. An opportunity had been afforded to provide things badly needed on the sea front. Having acquired the property, it was now possible to provide convenient lavatories in the basement, make a fine entrance, and at the rear erect a substantial pavilion, concert hall, or conference room. With a conference room the town would be able to invi!e conferences to assemble at Aberystwyth. Another improve- ment which would be possible would be the making of an opening from the Promenade into Queen's-road. The matter of the band- stand had always been a sore point with the Corporation, and that matter could also be settled by the acquisition of the building. The price which the Corporation would pay for the house and remainder of the lease was £775" The solicitors for the vendor declined the offer by the Corporation to allow EIO a year off the ground rent for an opening through one side of the premises. He had pleasure ir moving that Mr, Edwards should be paid E775 for the residue of the lease" and the house. Mr. Enoch Davies seconded the proposition and Alderman Daniel Thomas supported it. The Mayor said the Corporation made an effer of remission of Cif) in the ground rent for an opening and fully expected if that" as not accepted to have been given a price for the whole premises. The letter, however, was not received until after the property had been sold. The Corporation tried to get a better quotation from the purchasers, but failed. Having regard to all the conditions, he (the Mayor) considered the purchase would enable the Corporation to carry out a fine scheme in the centre of the Terrace which visitors would admit few places could eqtial. He was glad to find the Council unanimous in the matter. The report was unanimously adopted SEA WEED AND CENSUS. Dr. Harries moved that in future the beach should be kept clear of seaweed ind that it should be carted to and stored in the Corpora- tion Yard. He remarked on the value of sea- weed for the production of potass and iodine and thought it should be periodically burned and the residue sold. Mr. John Morgan seconded the proposition and it was agreed to. It was also agreed, on the proposition of Dr. Harries, to take a census of the borough annually on August bank holiday COAL PRICES." Mr. Enoch Davies had given noti»e of motion "That the Town Council should purchase coal for the inhabitants of the town, 1o be deliv- ered in small quantities at a reasonable price Alderman Samuel asked if the nitice was in order, having regard to what the Council had already decided in the matter, ard the Mayor replied that he did not think so, but was will- ing to give Mr. Davies every latitude. Mr. Enoch Davies said there had been time to get a reply to the Council's request bv the coal merchants and no reply had been sent and time was going on. Some of the towns had been charging excess prices for coal, and no doubt it was the same at Aberystwyth. The Mayor did not think it fair for Mr Davies to make a statement of hftt, kind in the merchants' absence. The Council had had a meeting with the coal merchants and the coal merchants came out of it exceedingly well. They put Councillor Davies in the box. Mr. Enoch Davies did not think so. He stated the price of coal in seighbouring towns and not one of them refuted what he said. He stated that coal was sold in reighbouring towns at 28s. and 34s. a ton. Pe knew the price of coal at Aberystwyth and he considered it exorbitant if not gross extortion. The Mayor said the merchants proved that it was not. Mr. Enoch Davies—They did not. The Mayor said that Mr. Davies should not make such statements in people's absence. The merchants proved that they delivered coal at the Infirmary at 32s. He would ask the legal advisers of the Council if the Council could buy and sell coal. There was a committee con- trolling sales and it meant business. Mr Enoch Davies said the Food Control Com- mittee had nothing to do with the (ale of coal. The Mayor—But they will. While the Mayor and Councillor Davies were speaking, a little altercation occuried between Alderman John Evans and Alderman Samuel, Alderman Evans asking if Alderman Samuel had received certain coal which he Itad ordered, and Alderman Samuel asked what business was that of Alderman Evans. Aldernan Samuel subsequently said that Mr Enoch Dtvies proved his case at the conference with tllo., coal mer- chants. His case was that more vas charged for coal at Aberystwyth than in njighbourino- towns, and lie proved his case. ° Mr. Enoch Davies said that several members of the Council besides himself had bought from merchants outside the town. The Town Clerk (in reply to the Mayor's ro- quest for legal advice) thought it ultra vires on the part of the Council to do a suggested, for the Council could not trade. There was a case of an electricity supply companj or rather corporation which endeavoured, very properly it was thought, to supply outside its order, and an injunction was afonce obtained. He was not aware of any power enabling the Corpora- tion to trade in opposition to ratepayers. The Deputy Clerk informed the Council that he had written for information to Tenby where coal had been obtained by the Corpora- tion and the letter in reply stated that Celtic coal was sold at 31s. 6d. The letter added that the Council acted under no specific power, but thought it advisable in the- interests of the poorer ratepayers to take the steps that had been taken. The Mayor said if the Council could do any- thing to assist the poor it would do it. Mr Enoch Davies said the Coal Controller had advised councils to buy coal for distribution, and he would not give that advice unless there was power to do it. Several corporations had done it, and why could not Abe-vstwyth ? The Town Clerk did not think the Coal Con- troller had power to over-ride the general law. Mr. Rufus Williams said he had ordered coal from more than one firm and received a por- tion only of what he ordered. There was a difficulty in delivery owing to a shortage of trucks. He had three trucks of coal on order and could not get one delivered. Mr. Enoch Davies said he knew the difficulty, but wanted a supply for the poor for the com- ing winter. Mr. Barclay Jenkins thought ftiat what Mr. Enoch Davies wanted would be met by the Coal Controller. Mr. Barclay Jeakins referred to the scale which buyers were allowed to charge for coal above wholesala price and asked how was it possible for the Corporation to deliver coal in small quantities at Is. 3d. in addition to the cost and carriage of the coal? The remarks of Mr. Enoch Davies he added, made it appear as if the Council d:d not want to help the poor. Mr. Enoch Davies—You are studying the in- terests of your friends, the coal merchants, and not of the ratepayers.
-------------__-------Lampeter…
Lampeter Council. Lampeter Council met on Thursday evening, present Councillor Ll. Bankes-Pnce (deputy mayor) in the chair; Aldermen William Jones, Lewis Jones; Councillor \V. Davies (Bryn-road). Evan Davies, D. Thomas, T. W. Jones, D. Davies, W. Davies (College street); Mr. J. E. Lloyd, town clerk; Mr. E. D. Rees, deputy clerk; Mr. R. W. Ashman, surveyor and inspector. Alderman Lewis Jones commented on the fact that the minutes of a Council meeting held in August had not been signed. The Mayor had ruled that a certain proposition had passed, but such was not the case, as it was requisite that two-thirds of those present should have voted to secure a majority. The proceedings were irregular, and he protested against tiiu i.ction of the Mayor. Councillor W. Davies (Bryn-road) proposed that the minutes be signed, as they were a that the minutes be signed, as they were a faithful record of the proceedings. If they were wrong t[iey could be rectified. j Alderman Wm. Jones seconded the proposi- tion. Alderman Lewis Jones proposed an amend- ment, but as there was no seconder the pro- position was carried, and the minutes were signed by the Deputy Mayor. The Surveyor (Mr. Ashman) read his report for the month, which showed that no infectious diseases had been reported. "ihe seat near Teify bridge had been removed to the middle of the road, and was a source of danger to the public. The offender had been traced, and Inspector Jones had reprimanded him. Regard- ing the nu'sance alleged at the rear of the Plougu Inn, the owners had promised to abate it, but nothing had yet been done. He had served notices on the owners of 1 and 2 College- street, and Mr. Ben Jenkins, High-street. The Town Clerk read a letter from the Local Government Board anent the erection of addi- tional houses after the termination of the war, and intimating that the Government would assist public bodies in carrying out any scheme. It was decided to refer the matter to a com- mittee for further consideration. The Inspector was requested to see that 1.: orders for the abatement of nuisances were carried out at- once; in default, legal proceed- ings to be taken. Councillor W. Davies, College-street, pro- posed that a permit be asked for from the Government to purchase 80 barrels of tar for use on the roads in the borough. It was decided to request the Mayor, Mr. Denis H. Davies, N.P. Bank, and Mr. David Roberts to attend the Teify pollution meeting at Pontrhydfendigaid. Nlr. F. J. Smith, secretary of <he local branch of the National Union of Railwaymen, had written to Lord Rhondda complaining that two men nominated by the society as members on the Lampeter Food Control Committee had been elected. The Council had appointed Coun- cillor David Davies as labour member, and the society objected to his appointment as he was an employer and not an employee. Several members spoke in favour of Councillor David Davies as the representative of labour, and i was decided to write to Lord Rhondda that the Council was perfectly sat:sfied with Mr. Davies and wcrr unanimous on the point. Councillor T. W. Jones read the report of the Health Committee, which recorn mended, :-(l) That owing to the work required to be done a' the cowshed at 16, High-street not having been executed, the Surveyor be instructed to under- take the work. (2) That notices be given to certain occupiers in High-street to provide pro- per appliances and abate nuisances existing on their premises. The report was adopted. Councillor Wm. Davies (Bryn-road) read tli, report of the Finance and General Purposes Commiit e and the following recommendations were ma cle :-(1) That the overseers of the borough be asked to assess and submit a supple- mental valuation list containing the Black Lion Hotel an 1 premises. (2) That the assistant overseer be given E12 10s. in addition ic, his sa'ary, in consideration of the loss sustained by him ow:ng to the non-preparation of the list of > voters. m On the proposition of Councillor W. Davies (Bryn-road.) it was decided that a man and horse should be granted by the Council :o plough an additional piece of land at the rear of Temple Buildings so that more vegetables should be grown for the use of the Navy.
CARDIGAN.
CARDIGAN. Captain Torn Thomas, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas, Prudential Offices, was one of the victims of the recent fighting in Flanders. He was a B.A. of the University College, Aber- ystwyth, and joined the army in September 1914, receiving a commission in the Welsh Regiment. He proved himself a highly efficient, officer and very popular with his men. In a touching letter of sympathy sent by the chaplain to his parents it is said :—"His lament- able and sudden death has cast, a gloom over us all, for officers and men loved him for hi splendid and pure manhood. He was always sincere and true in all his dealings and faithful to his duty, however great the danger might be." The deceased has two brothers in the army.

LLANGWYRYFON. Miss E. Eiddwen Jones, Argoed, has success- fully passed the senior examination of the Centra] Welsh Board recently held at the County School, Aberystwyth.
[No title]
(continued from previous column). Mr. Barclay Jenkins-That is a deliberate lie, Councillor Davies. The Mayor also protested against the re- mark, after which Mr. John Morgan seconded Mr. Enoch Davies's proposition. Mr. Rhys Jones said it was possible under the Defence of the Realm Act the Corpora- tion could supply the poor, but not other per- sons. Mr. Barclay Jenkins was referring to the wholesale scale. Alderman Samuel said he was surprised at the Mayor allowing the discussion to proceed before the proposition was seconded. Sup- posing the Corporation had power and he be- lieved there were extraordinary powers under the Defence of the Realm Act—would it be possible and wise for the Council to take upon itself a duty of that kind? The Council was blamed for not looking after small things. Could it look after a thing of that kind? The Council would have to engage a special man to superintend distribution. The Council had asked the merchants if they could guarantee a supply for the winter. If they did that, it ought to meet the case wna the scale of charges additional to cost and carriage referred to by Councillor Barclay Jenkins. The Food Committee would see that the allowed profits were not exceeded. The Mayor said that would be done. Mr Rufus Williams asked what use was it for the merchants to say that they would guar- antee a supply when they could not get it? Alderman Samuel replied that the merchants gave the Council to understand that they could guarantee a supply. Mr. Enoch Davies said as conditions had changed since he put liis proposition on the agenda and the price of coal would now be controlled, he would withdraw his proposition. The Council then went into committee.

GWERINTAETH AC UNBENNAETH. Gan nad beth a gredir ynghylch v rhan a gy- merodd y Kaiser i gychwyn rhyfel fawr "y i Cyfandir, mae gennym brofion ddigon am ei amcanion iselwael mewn cysylltiad a pilot) I mater rhwngwladwriaethol sy'n agor y ffordd i ryw elw o du'r Almaen. Y dvddiau diweddaf i hyn codwyd v llenn drachefn ar gyfathrach a fu rhyngddo ef a chyn-bennaeth Rwsia yn adeg y rhyfel rhwng Rwsia a Japan. Daliodd afaed y pryd hwnnw ar wendid Rwsia i sicrhau: cyngrair ddirgel rhyngddi hi a'r Almaen yn erbyn Prydain Fawr. Yr oedd cyngrair eisoes rhwng Rwsia a Ffrainc ynghylch materion eraill, ac yn ol yr ohebiaeth a fu rhwng y Kaiser a'r cyn-Tsar, amcan y blaenaf oedd sicrhau'r i gyngrair newydd yn ddiarw-ybod i Ffrainc modd y gallai Rwsja, pan ddelai'r rhyfel anochel. orfodi Ffrainc hithau, yng ngrym y gyngrair flaenorol, i ymuno yn erhyn Prydain. Mae'n amlwg fod y Kaiser a'r Tsar yn hollol gytun ar y cwestiwn, ond nid oes wybodaeth hyd yn hyn beth a gododd o'r newydd i rwystro arfaethau'r ddau bennaeth. Hwyrach y daw hynny i'r golwg ryw ddiwrnod, eitlir y mae'r hyn a wyddom eisoes yn rhoi agwedd ddifrifol iawn ar fywyd gwleidyddol Ewrop yn ystod yr, banner canrif ddiweddaf. Pan gaffom ddau bennaeth gwledydd eang fel yr Almaen a Rwsia yn cynllunio rhyngddynt a'i gilydd yn y dirgel, ynghylch tynged cenhedloedd, mae'n hen bryd i'r bobl ddeffro i'w dyledswyddau. Y mae yn, Rwsia yn agos i gant a hanner o filynau o bobl, ac yn yr AJmaen drigain a deg o filynau, ac eto i gyd nid oedd barn na bywyd y rheiny yn ddim i'r ddau frenin. cyn belled ag yr oedd cyfle i godi a chadarnhau awdurdod yr unbennaeth. Nid oedd matorion 0'1' fa-th heb eu lie ym meddyliau'r bobl er ys tro pellach, ond mae'r dadleniad diweddaf hwn yn agor llygaid gwer- iniaeth yn fwy nag erioed o'r blaen. Dyna'r paham y mae cymaint o alw ymhob gwlad ar i'r dosbarth gweithiol gael llals yn amodau heddweh ac yng nghytundebau'r dyfodol, ac nid oes mwyach a ddichon atal llais y bobl yn eu cri am gael rhan ymhob gweithred sydd a fynno yn uniongyrchol a'u bywydau a'u dyfodol hwv. COSP A CHARCHAR. Y mae llawer iawn o lefaru ac ysgrifenu wedi bod o bryd i'w gilydd ynghylch cyfundrefn ein carcharau, ac nid yw'r hyn a ysgrifennwyd ac a lefarwyd bob amser yn adlewyrchu'n fEafriol arnom fel cenedl. Yr amcan mewn golwg gan yr awdurdodau pan yn cosbi a charcharu tro- seddwyr yw ceisio eu diwvgio a'u gwneud yn deilyngach dinasyddion, ac, ar yr un pryd, roddi esiampl ohonynt i'r sawl sydd yn dueddol i anwybyddu cyfreithiau gwlad. Ceir yr esiampl yn ddiau, ond nid oes ond ychydig olionom, erbyn hyn, yn credu fod penydio neb pwy bynnag yn tueddu i newid eu cyflwr a'u tuedd- fryd. Yn wir ceir digon o enghreifftiau bob dydd yn profi i'r gwrthwvneb, ac fel rheol caledi'r galon yn hytrach na'i meddalu yw effaith pob cosp, a mwya'r caledwch po llymaf y pennvd. Mae Ilyfryn wedi ei gyhoeddi yn Jdiweddar gan lenores hysbys yn adrodd hanesion anhyfryd iawn ynglyn a'r driniaeth o roddir i'n carcharorion, ac yn dangos dylanwad truenus y driniaeth honno ar feddyliau y sawl sydd o tani. Os yw hanner yr hyn a ddywedir yn y Ilyfr hwn yn wir-a dywed yr awdures fod gan- ddi ffeithiau yn sail l bob dywediad—mae'n hen bryd i'r wlad ddeffro i'r mater a mynd at.i ar unwaith i wella'r gyfundrefn sydd weithian mewn grym.

LLEN Y CADWYNI. Wrtli son am ein carchardai ac am driniaetb e:n carcharorion gwiadol, mae'n rhaid fod rhyw gyfncwid rhyiedci wedi dod dros ein rheolaeth ohonynt rhagor yr hyn oedd yn yr hen amser. umu yug nguarcliar yr ysgrifennwvd llawer iawn on llyfrau penuaf? Yn ei gaethiwed yr ysgnfennoad John Bunyan "Taith y Pererin" a hynny yn yr eilfed ganrif ar bymthee- yn Nilwr Elundain y casglodd Syr Walter Raleigh lawer o'i feddyliau preiffion at ei gilydd i'w cyflwyno yn llyfrau i'w oes; ac y mae gan genhedloedd eraill hwvthau lawer iawn o len- yddiaeth aruchel sy'n ffrwyth uniongyrchol caethiwcd tu mewn carchardy. Ac os am brawf pellach, awn yn ol i'r cyfnod bore pan oedd Cristionogaeth yn dcchreu gwawrio yng ngwled- ydd y Dwyrain. Yng nghadwyni'r Rhufeiniaid y liuniwyd rhai o epistolau llawnaf y Beibl- ac yn awr pan dynnir ein sylw o'r aewydd at yr hyn sy'n nodweddu bywyd y carchar yn ein y dyddiau ni, mae'n naturiol i ni ofyn ai mynd ar eu gwaeth yn lie ar eu gwell y mae rhai on deddfau gwladol? Gwyddom hyn o leiaf: nad oes fawr o ddim wedi dod allan o'n carch- ardai er ys talm hir i gyfoethogi ein llenydd- iaeth. Diclion fod mwy o'n dynion goreu, yn yr hen amser, yn cael eu taflu i garchar am lynu wrth gwestiwn o egwyddor nag a geir yn ein dyddiau ni, ac mai dylanwad yr egwyddor- ion hynny oedd yn gyfrifol am yr awydd i dros- glwyddo myfyrdodau caethiwed i'r bvd oedd mewn rhyddid. Gan nad beth am hynny, i'r hen amser y perthyn llenyddiaeth y cai-ebardai, ac oni buasai am dani tlotach o lawer a fuasai cronfa meddvliau y bvd. Y GADAIR DDU. Fe erys Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Birkenhead ar gof y genedl am hir amser, pe'n unig oher- wydd yr amgylchiad prudd a fu'n gysylltledig a hi. Unwaith drachefn yn hanes yr Eisteddfod bu raid gorchuddio'r gadair a du, mewn hir- aeth am y bardd a fu farw cyn cael ohono y wobr a'r anrhydedd a enillasai. Rhyw ddig- wyddiad o'r math hwn sy'n agor ein llvgaid a waith oinadwy rhyfel ymhob oes. Y mae Lioegr eisoes wedi colli" nifer o'i beirdd a'i llenorion mwyaf addawol, ac y mae rhestr llen- orion ieuainc Cymru hithau er ys tro wedi dioddef yn yr un modd. Ym marw Hedd Wvn ,a^Synydd -y mae'r genedl wedi colli addewid tawr araH ym myd Hen. Hwyrach mai y Ilynedd y clybu'r wlad gyntaf am dano, paia hysbyswyd ma, efe oedd yn ail yng nghystadfeu- aeth y gadair yn Aberystwyth—ac vn e-yntaf 7n ol dedfryd un o'r beirniaid; ond* gwyddai'r llengarwyr am dano ymhell cyn hynny ac yr oedd ami l lygad disgwylgar yn gwylio ei yrfa. By wyeI syml oedd ei fywyd 'ef, wedi byw yn cvfocth r T°ed ac -vn syiovios O'i dfrgelion i <m<1 meglS miloedd ei'ajn o'n bechgyn cefnodd ynlau ar ei erwau cynhefin am tiofydd pell y gad a thalodd abertli pennaf pob oes er mwyn ei wlad ae er mwyn Cyfiawnder. Dyma fel y canodd Kfion Wyn er coffa am dano: "0 dangnef dy dref i'r drin-y'th yrrwyd O th erwau cynhefin; Yr hen odre anhvdrin A'r tir hoff a gerit drin. "Aed a thi drwy waed a than-i farwol Ferw y gyflafan; A'th fro yn cofio'r cvfan- Hud dy gelf a nwyf dy gan. "Heddyw prudd yw y preiddiau,—a'r liendr Ar randir dy dadau; A'r trallod fel cysgod cau Creulonedd trwy'r corlannau! "Hun o'r twrf, dan ddefni'r tan,—wedi dru<& Glod y drom gyflafan; Mae dy fro yn cofio'r cyfan— Rhedli'th gur a diliau'th gan."
