Aberystwvth County School RE-ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. The Governors of Aberystwyth County School met on Tuesday; present the Rev. R. J. Rees, chairman; Mrs. Griffiths, Mrs. Jane James, Professor Morgan Lewis, Mr. Richard Richards, Captain James, Mr. John Evans, clerk; and Mr. D. Samuel, headmaster. The Chairman expressed the Governors' pleasure at seeing Mrs. James present vith renewed health. Referring to the election of chairman, he said he would place himself in the hands of the Governors. He had been in the chair two years and dkesiredkto t>e fefcased ftom it, which would not detrac-' from his interest i* the affairs of the School. He moved the election to the chair of Professor Morgan Lewis who had attended to the work for years with loyalty and interest. Professor Morgan Lewis thanked the Chair- man, but proposed the Rev. Mr. Rees's efec- tion. It was undesirable that the tenure of the chair should not be unduly prolonged, but it took a chairman some time to learn the ways of business, and a third year was none too long. Mr. Rees had devoted himself heartily to the interests of the School. Captain James seconded re-election, remark- ing that it was but a small recompense for the arduous work of the year, in which the Chair- man had shown marked ability and tact. The proposition having been unanimously agreed to, the Chairman thanked the Governors. The past two years had been arduous years, and he felt that he had served his day and generation and would have liked to lapse into the joys and irresponsibilities of a private member. He hoped that the ensuing year would bo one of unanimity aftd that at the end of it he would be able to retire as a reward for services rendered. On the question of assistance to teachers desir- ous of attending summer schools, the Head- master was directed to inform the staff that the Governors were prepared to assist.—The Headmaster said he was not aware at present of any great desire to attend.

LLAMAFAN- News has been received of the death of Gunner Evan Owen, R.G.A., who was killed in action in France on March 21st (the first day of the great German offensive. Deceased is the son of Mr. and of the late Mrs Vaughan Owen, Penbont, Crosswood, and the husband of Mrs. Owen, the village, Llanafan. He leaves three young children. Gunner Owen was much respected and liked by all who knew him and the deepest sympathy is felt with his widow and family. He joined up six months ago and saw three months' service on the Western Front. A memorial service was held at Caradog C.M. Chapel on Sunday when the Rev. Professor J. Young Evans, M.A., Theo- logical College, Aberystwyth, officiated.

YSPYTTY YSTWYTH. In the absence of Professo i. Levi, Alder- man Tom Morgan, Tangelli, Jl:; vered a lecture on Saturday on "Williams Pantycelyn," in aid of the local soldiers fund. The lecture in- cluded many anecdotes and was listened o with interest. Mr. Edward Morgan, Cwmystwyth, sang; Mr. John Morgan, Hafodnewydd, re- cited and a Pantycelyn" hymn was sung by the audience. Mr. James Oliver, Pantychwarel, presided. On the proposition of Mr. John Jones, Rhiwlas, seconded by Mr. John Morgan, Hafodnewydd, the Lecturer was heartily thanked.

For "Liverishness" or Clogged Intestines You Need Alkaline Water. Medical man says this is easily prepared at home and will quickly dissolve, neutralise and wash out any irritating Liver, Kidney, Stomach or Bowel acids and poisons. The various body impurities and also such acids as hydrochloric (stomach) uric, oxalic, etc., are the natural result of the digestive processes. Certain of them are vitaliv necessary without hydrochloric acid, for instanae, the stomach could not take care of the certain classes of foods. It is only when there is an excessive accumulation, of acids that food fermentation, gas, rheumatism and other painful troubles result. Even uric acid seldom gives any evi- dence of being present in the system until after it accumulates to such an extent that the blood can no longer hold it in solution, and'tiny, pain- causing crystals then commence to separate from the blood and deposit in muscles and joints. There is no way to stop all absorption of acids and impurities into the blood from the digesting food in stomach and intestines, with- out stopping the absorption of nourishment at the same time. Moreover, the absorption does no .harm so lowg as the toxins and excessive acids are promptly extracted from the blood by the kidneys and other organs of filtration and excretion, this being what normally happens when the body is in a state of perfect health. If the liver, kidneys, etc., are not working properly, however, the blood must quickly become impure, and impure blood means pain and disease always. Pure blood is the founda- tion upon which all good health must be built. People who have. it cannot suffer from rheu- matism. gout. backache, stomach trouble, biliousness, lassitude, headache, kidney diseases, poisoned irritated nerves, skin afflictions or the endless train of other complaints directly due to impure blood, which has becfttne thick and shiggish with the poison it has gathered up in its journeys throughout the body. To rid the j system of poisons, never dose yourself with still ) mora poisons or powerful salivating drugs like 1 calomel (mercury), etc., which accumulate in the tL svstem and even attack the bones. Instead, try drinking every other morning for a week or two i a tumb'.er of hot water in which you have dissolved a level teaspoonful of alkia, saltrates, which any chemist c^n supply at slight cost. It will quickly neu*ra%se and wash out the impuri- I ties and excessive acids by flushing the kidneys, stimulating the liver, and thoroughly cleansing the intestines. This is what occurs when visitors drink exactly similar alkaline water at the world-famed and highly expensive alkaline hot springs. eW63

J.H. WYTHNOS BRYDERUS. Mae'n ddiau na bu wythnos fwy pryderus yn ein hanes fel gwlad, oddiar ddechreu'r rhyfel, na'r wythnos ddiweddaf. Tywyllodd ami i aelwyd led-led y tir gan niewyddion drwg o'r meysydd brwydro, ac yn wir nid oedd odid nebun ohonom heb ein hofnau am y gwaethaf, y gwaethaf am ein cyfeillion yn bersonol, ac am y fyddin Brydainig yn gyffredinol. Eithr er nad yw'r sefyllfa fawr yn well y dyddiau hyn, mae'r ffydd oedd gennym yng ngallu a dewr- der ein milwyr wedi ei adnewyddu a'i gryfhau drachefn, ao er fod y geiyn wedi eu gwthio gryn dipyn o ffordd yn .1 i gyfeiriad y mor, y mae gennym bob hyder y medrant ddaly llinell yn gadarn hyd nes y delo digon o atgyfnerthion i'w helpu a'u caionogi. Daeth y son fod nifer fawr o filwyr yn barod at y gwaith hwn ddechrpu'r wythnos ddiweddaf, ond iddynt gael eu cadw yn ol y pryd hwnnw gan fod y sefyllfa wedi esmwythau ryw ychydig. Os gwir hynny 1 mae'r rhagolwg am y dyfodol yn fwy calonogol nag a dybiesid ar y cyntaf, a phwy a wyr na ddaw goleuni drachefn o dywyllwch mawr y bythefnos ddiweddaf. Clywir llawer iawn o fedrniadu gan wahanol ysgrifenwyr gyda golwg ar yr ymosodiad mawr cyntaf, canys, wedi'r cyfan, y llwyddiant yn yr ymgyrch gyntaf sydd wedi galluogi'r gelyn i wthio cymaint yn ei flaen. Mynnant hwy ein bod wedi ein sicrhau yn y Senedd fod yr ymosodiad wedi ei ragweled, a bod popeth wedi digwydd yn union fel y daro- ganesid, ac eto i gyd fod y cwbl fel pe wedi dyfod yn amnisgwyl ar draws ein byddinoedd. Hwyrach fod rhywun neu rywrai ar fai, neu fod ein swyddogion wedi di-ystyrru'r broffwydoli- aeth, ac os felly mae'n ddiau y deuir a'r tro- seddwyr i gyfrif mewn rhyw ffordd neu'i gilydd. Anodd iawn yw i ni gartref gael fawr o syniad am yr amgylchiadau yn Ffrainc, ac os gwnaed camgymeriadau, mae'n siwr y manteisir hyd yn oed ar y rheiny ar gyfer y dyfodol. HELP O'R AMERICA. Cytuna pawb yn y cylchoedd blaenaf fod ar- gyfwng mawr yr wythnosau diweddaf hyn wedi deffro'r Unol Daleithau i'r angen o frysio ym- laere yn eu gwahanol ganghennau. Y farn gyf- fredin, ymhlith y sawl sy'n abl i gasglu gwy- bodaeth weddol gywir, yw fod yr Arlywydd Wilson yn tybio, ar y cyntaf, y buasai'r Cynghr- eiriaid yn al i ddal ymlaen tan y flwyddyn nesaf ac yna y buasai byddin enfawr yn barod o'r America i ddwyn y rhyfel i ben yn gyflym. Ond gan nad faint o wir sydd yn hynyna, cred llawer eraill na buasem heddyw mor gadarn ein safle onibae fod milwyr yr America eisoes ar y maes. Nid oes unrhyw ystadegau eto wedi eu cyhoeddi ynglyn a'r fyddin Americanaidd sydd weithian yn ymladd ochr yn ochr a'n mil-1 wyr ni, ond mae pob He dros dybio fod y nifer yn fawr iawn, a'r dyddiau diweddaf hyn chwyddir y nifer yn gyflym anghyffredin. Mae pob llong sydd wrth law yn cael ei defnyddio i gludo milwyr eddiyno, ac fe'u cludir drosodd, o hyn ymlaen, yn ddibaid. Mae'n amlwg, felly, os llwyddwn i ddal ein tir am betli amser yn hwy, fod ein rhagolwg am y dyfodol yn bur ffafriol. Mae'r gelyn, yn ystod y tair wythnos ddiweddaf -wedi gyrru i'r maes, ei filwyr mwyaf profiadol, rengoedd ar rengoedd ohonynt, ac yr profiadol, rengoedd ar rengoedd ohonynt, ac yr I oedd ei golledion yn arswydus o fawr; eithr er cymaint ei lwyddiarat yn gwthio yn e: flaen mae'n amlwg ddigon nad yw'r ,firwytha.u yn dod i fyny yft agos a disgwylisfdau Caiser. Mae gennym, felly, wedi'r cwbi. lawer iawn i ddiolch am dano, a Ile i obeithio y try'r fantol, yn union* deg, i'r ochr arall. BRWYDRAU'R AWYR. 'I .:II .1': Mae r Jjlywodraetn yn uuiweaaar woui vy- hoeddi manylion diddorol ynglyn a'r ysgarmes- oedd mynych a fu yn yr awyr, uwchben y meys- ydd brwydro yn Ffrainc, yn ystod yr ychydig wythnosau cyn cychwyn o'r ymosodiadau di- weddar. Canlyniadau'r ysgarmesoedd hynny oedd cwympo yn agos i ddeucant o awyrlongau'r gelyn, niter fawr ohonynt wedi eu dinistrio'n llwyr a'r gweddill wedi syrthio'n ddi-reol i'r Hawr. Yn ystod yr un cyfnod yr oedd deg ar hugain o'n llongau ni ar goll. 0 gyfrif y cwbl oddiar gychwyniad yr ymosodiad mawr, mae'r Almaeni wedi colli pum cant a depr ar hugain o longau, ac wyth ugain o longau Prydeinig ar goll. Nid yw'r 3wyr o hyd yn ddigon clir i ganiatau fawr o lwyddiant, eithr pan fo popeth yn ffafriol mae'r hedegwyr Prydeinig yn eu profi eu hunain yn well dynion o lawer na u srwrthwvnebwfVr. Geilir canfod hynny yn amlwg ddigon wrth gvmharu ffigyrrau'r ddwy ochr oddiar ganol mis Mawrth, ac yn yr adroddind swvddogol ynsrhylch y brwydro yn ystod un o'r dyddiau diweddaf hyn coir fod deugaim o longau'r Almaen wedi eu taro i lawr ac ugain arall wedi gorfod disgyn yn ddi-iywodraeth, tril na choll- asom ni namyn deuddeg yn yr un diwrnod. Ar y cvfan tnae' r tvwydd diweddar wedi bod yn bur anffafriol i ni allll hyrwyddo'r gwaith yn yr awyr mor effeithiol ag a. allasem ei wneuthur tan well amodau. Mae'r gelyn, rywfodd. yn manteisio o hyd ar ddiwrnodau niwlog a chym- ylog ac felly yn abl i gychwyni ei wahanol ymosodiadau tan amgyichiadau mwy ffodus o 'Y'c lawer nag y gallasai pe'r tywydd yn galluogi ein hedegwyr i wneuthur eu rhan yn briodo!. WEDI DENG MLYNEDD. Yn aWT pan fo llongau awyr yn cymryd rhan mor amiwg yn* rhyfel fwya'r oesoedd, mae'n anodd i ni sylweddoli nad oes eto onid prin deng mlynedd oddiar yr amser y gwnaeth Santos- Dumont ei daith gyntaf yn yr awyr. Nid oedd ond ychydig, y pryd hwnnw, yn credu y byddai unrhyw lwyddiant ymarferot mewn anturi- aethau o'r fa.th; ac yn wir yn ein Senedd naw mlynedd yn ol gwnaed gwrthwynebiad cryf yn erbyn defnyddio dim o arian y wlad ar wneud arbrofion ynglyn a llongau awyr. Yn y flwyddyn 1909 nid oedd treuliau blynyddol y wlad yn y cylch hwn yn fwy na phurn mil o bunnau, eithr yn y flwyddyn 1913-14 yr oedd yn uwch o lawer na miliwn o bunnau. Oddiar hynny mae'n amlwg fod y treuliau wedi chwyddo'n fawr iawn, caiiys cydnebydd pawb yn awr fod y gangen lion yng ngallu r wlad yn un o'r rhai pwysicaf, ac y bydd ei phwysigrwydd yn mynd yn fwy-fwy o hyd. Hanner canrif yn ol nid oedd nemor neb yn breuddwydio y buasai dyfais dyn yn ei alluogi i gynefino a llwybrau'r adar, ac yn ei godi uwchben y cymviau lie nad oes dim namyn glas y nefoedd uwch e: ben. Gresyn na buasai holl genhedloedd y ddaear yn defn- yddio'r gallu mawr sydd o fewn eu cyrraedd i ddyrchafu dynoliaeth ac i godi safonau bywyd ymhob rhyw ffordd, yn lie canoli eu holl ym- drechiort ar foddion i orchfygu y naill y Hall a pborthi gwanc a balchter. Ni anvcanwyd erioed i neb gam-ddefnvddio'r galluoedd a ddatguddir iddynt mewn natur yng nghynnydd canrifoedd. RHAGOR 0 WENITH. Diddorol iawn i amaeth\«yr y wlad, ac yn wir i bawb sydd yn pryderu ynghylch y cyflenwad bwyd yn y dyfodol, yw'r manylion sv newydd eu cyhoeddi gan un o adrannau y Bwrdd Am- aetliyddia.eth ynghylch yr erwau sy tan wenith yn ein gwlad eleni. Fe gofir i apel arbennig gael e; wneuthur at amaethwyr y wlad i gyn- hyddu'r erwau ar gyfer y gwenitli, a dengys y ffigyrau y wedi eu cyhoeddi nad ofer yr apel. Yr oedd rhif yr erwau y llypedd wedi eu codi i 1,725,000 o aceri, eithr eleni mae'r ffigyrau yn dros ddwv filiwn a hanner yn fwv o erwau nag a hauwyd y llynedd, ac o gytnharu'r ffigyrau a'r pdroddiadau am y deng mlynedd cyn y rhyfel, ma.c'r cynydd yn sylweddol iawn ac yn profi fod yr amaethwyr, er cymaint yr anawsterau, yn gwnauthur vrridrech deg i helpu'r awdurdodau yn y cyfyngder mawr y mae'r wlad ynddo ar hyn o bryd. Wrth ewrs mae'n rhy gynnar eto i sicrhau'r ffigyrau ynghylch y tir sydd tan geirch a haidd. eithr y mae'n eit.haf amlwg, yn ol yr hyn y gallwn ni ei gasglu yn ein cylchoedd ein hunain, y bydd y cynnydd yn rhif yr erwau hyn drachefn; yn fawr iawn. Ni chafwyd odid er,ioed o'r blaen well tywydd i roddi'r had yn y ddaear ac nid oes gennym ond gobeithio y cedr tywydd liawn mor ffafriol drachefn yn amser medi.

Severe Nervous Breakdown. Neurasthenia, Sleeplessness, and Depression Completely Cured by Dr. Gassed s Tablets. Mr. Frank Lord, of 93, Stretford-road, Manchester, I the well-known professional violinist, says: "Some years ago I had a bad nervous break- down of which Dr. Cassell's Tablets cured me, and I think it only right to tell others. I was in an extremely low, weak condition; my digestion) was all upset, everything I ate caused me pain, and I was rarely free from headache. Sleeplessness was another trouble, and I became terribly depressed. In other words, I had neurasthenia just as badly as anyone could have it. "Ordinary treatment did no good at all, but at last, I am thankful to say, I got Dr. Cassell's Tablets, and that was the beginning of cure. My digestion improved, and I gained strength.

I Ein Bara Beunyddiol. YMDDIDDANION YR AELWYD AM EIN BWYD. John Jones—Rwy'n deall Bob, nad ydyw pawb o dan rations, eto. Rwy'n ffaelu deail paham y rhaid inn yn yr ardal' yma fod os nad yw pamb yn cael bod. Robert Roberts-Mae pawb drwy'r deyrnas o dan rations am siwgr a ohig, ond gan fod pob Pwyllgor Bwyd yn cael gwneud ei reolau ei hun am fwydydd eraill, mae ambell ardal o dan rations am bethau nad ydynt felly mewn ardal- oedd eraill. Dyna de er erughraifft, tua hanner y boblogaeth sydd o dan rations am de. Dyna ymenyn a margarine, mae rhyw bedair miliwn o'r bobl yn rhydd i brynu fel y mynnont o fewn rheswm. Gwen-Paham ynte roeddwn i'n methu cael to nac ymenyn yn y shop ddoe? Bob-Am nad oedd dim mewn stoc gan y shopwr, nid am fod y Pwyllgor wedi ein gosod o dan rations am y pethau hynny. Gall fod prinder lie wa bo rations. Madlen-A oes rhaid prynu ymenyn a mar- garine yn yr un shop, dwedweh? Bob-Lie bo rations ar ymenyn a margarine, rhaid i bob cwsmer gofrestru mewn rhyw un shop neilltuol, ac nd cha ond yn y shop honno. Ond lie bo teulu, gall rhan o'r teulu gofrestru mewn un shop, a'r rhan arall o'r teulu mewn shop arall, ac felly prynu ymenyn mewn un j shop a margarine mewn shop arall. Felly ca teulu fantais o fod mewn mwy nag un shop- ond rhaid i bob un brynu yn y shop y bo wedi rejistro ynddi. Mari .Tonoo-WeI wir Bob bach mae'r hen coupons cig yma yn fy nrysi i yn deg. Wn i yn y byd faint alia i brymi, na pha bryd mae rhaid i mi wneud. Roedd y cigydd yr wythnos ddiweddaf yn gwrthod joint o gig i mi am nad oedd gennyf ddigon o coupons. A ddoe fe wrth- ododd roi am fod y coupon yn rhy hen meddai ef. Bob (yn tynnu papur allan a'i ddangos)- Edrychwch yma. Dyma gyfarwyddiadau plaen. Os cadwch hwn wrth law bydd yn ddigon rhwydd i chwi ddeall. PA BETH A ELLIR EI BRYNU A'R COUPONS.

Urgent Warning to Formamint-users. t t Counterfeit Tablets Sold us Genuine, 1 Everyone who knows the value of Formamint will be indignant at the discovery that counterfeit tablets are being passed off on customers as the real thing. These are actually stamped Forma- mint and put up in similar bottles, but are betrayed by their label, which lacks the name of the true manufacturers-Genatosaii,Limited Nobody familiar with genuine Formamint could fail to detect these counterfeits by their nauseating flavour and irritating effect on the throat; and analysis proves that they are not even a plausible imitation of Formamint. What makes the matter extremely serious is the fact that the sham tablets might be given unawares in dangerous zymotic diseases-such as diphtheria or measles-where they would be worse than useless, but where the genuine Formamint would prevent a serious illness and perhaps save the patient's life. It is important, therefore, that you should Insist On Seeing the Label and Look for the Name —otherwise you will not be getting genuine GENATOSAN, Ltd. Formamint, which is supplied to chemists for sale to the public at 2/2 per bottle, and should be always in stock, as there is no shortage of supplies. Remember that Formamint is manu- j factured only at 12, Chenies Street, London, W.C. 1, by the all-British firm of Genatosan, Ltd. (British Purchasers of the Sanatogen Co.) and Get the Genuine Original FORMAMINT The Cure for Throat-troubles and Preventive of Infectious Diseases. Note: To prevent substitution Formamint will later on be given a new name, which will be duly announced. STEAM SAW MILLS, ABERYSTWYTH. R. ROBERTS & SONS TIMBER AND SLATE MERCHANTS.

CARDIGANSHIRE AGRICULTURAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE A meeting of the Executive Committee was held in Lampeter on Thursday; present Mr. Richard Evans,. in the chair; Messrs. Ben Davies, David Evans, John Jones, Penwern; J. Bunce Morgan, D. J. Williams; Commis- sioner John Roberts, executive, machinery, and labour officers, and Secretary. The Sale of Horses Order was discussed and it was decided to inform the Government pur- chasers of the coming horse fairs in the county, and a list of licences issued w. aid be sent to the authorised buyers. A letter was received from the Lord Lieu- tenant suggesting that in view of the new arrangements resulting from the Man Power Bill a national service representative should be deputed as member of the Committee. It was decided that the suggestion be adopted, pro- ivided a member of Committee should act as member of the County Advisory Committee. A number of special cases reported on by the cultivation officers were dealt with. In the majority of cases it was decided to place tractors or teams of horses to complete the quotas allotted. It was reported that a good number of'oldings had completed their order; during the past fortnight and in many cases the orders had been exceeded. The number of farmers who had not yet finished the plough- ing was comparatively small. Complaint was made that one farmer had used his horses and a soldier substitute for timber work and at the same time was con- siderably short of his quota. It was considered to be unfair and pressure would be brought t bear on the farmer concerned. MACHINERY SUB-COMMITTEE. A meeting of the Machinery Sub-Committee was held in the morning; present Mr. David Evans (in the chair); Messrs. J. W. Davies, J. Bunce Morgan, Commissioner' John Roberts, Supervisor Arthur Jones, the Machinery Officer, and Secretary. About eighty acres had been ploughed during the week. Considerable trouble was ex- perienced with a number of Burford tractors ;:1.1- .nnl,0'}.u]o1 l"Aqtr,-1nu'nC' ()"a n'r far/N uut: tV l.l.l.t:7.¿I GL.l.l\.lRJ. 1.1.n..U'V' .lO. 'IV V V" 'U' of the new Fordson tractors had been placed on certain fields during the week. They seem to be powerful and were not so liable to skid on wet land. A Burford tractor in the Car- digan district had ploughed forty-five acres in a month, and this was considered a good aver- age on Cardiganshire land. It was decided that the Threshing Sub-Committee should be convened before long to prepare arrangements for next season.
