I Towyn Sessions. I DORA" PROSECUTION. At Towyn Petty Sessions on Friday, before 7M. L. Lewis, E. L. Rowlands, and J. Maeth- Ion James, Esqrs., Messrs. A. and F. M. Harris, St. Oswald's Chambers, Chester, trad- ing as Harris and Co., were charged with hav- ing failed to deliver to the Recruiting Officer a return of men in their employ over sixteen years of age.—Defendant pleaded not guilty.— Chief Constable Richard Jones said the men engaged in the wood and in respect of whom •io notice had been sent were David J. Row- lands and John R. Jones, who were employed from May 27th to 14th June. The men had come up from the mines in South Wales (Blaengarw) after the comb-out and had gone to their home at Abergynolwyn where they were engaged in Rhiwerfa Woods. No notices on Form "D.R.17" giving the ages and other particulars of the men had been sent in.-P.S. Jones gave evidence of making enquiries of the men and forwarding them to Captain Kirkby, the recruiting officer, at Doigellev. Captain Kirkby said no notices had been sent to him and the military authorities could not trace the men (who were both in Grade 1), after they left South Wales. Since notice had been given to him the men had been called up, re- examined, again placed in Grade 1 and had been posted to regiments. The local manager had called on him and apologised for the in- convenience.-The Chief Constable said as the men had joined up a summons had not been taken out for not notifying change of address. —David Jones, lo<*l manager, said the men informed him that they had told the police at Blaengarw of their change of address. He had Blaengarw of their change of address. He had asked them to do a t,;t of timber felling for him as the men had lold him (witness) that they were daily expecting their calling-up notices. The form had been filled up by the Foreman on the 13th of Mav. Witness also produced a letter from M*. Pinfold, the gen- eral manager, explaining that the error was I made in not sending the form in consequence of shortage of staff. Witness did not. think it was necessary to send the Form "D.R.17" as they had sent a form to the Munitions Area Recruiting Officer and also because the men were expecting their calling-up notices.—Wm. H. Rowlands, foreman at Rhiwerfa Woods, gave evidence of having fLIed up the form on the 13th May and of giving it, to a Mr Bostock, manager for the firm at Arthog.—The Chair- man said the offence vios a serious breach of the Defence of the Realm Act and the de- fendants would be fined £10, including costs. A renewal of the licence for we explosive I store at Abercwmeiddaw, Corris, to the Aber- cwmeiddaw S.at,- Company was granted. A temporary transfer of the Britannia Inn, Aberdovey, from Elizabeth M. Wakeling to Sarah Elizabeth Jones, widow. Prospect-place, Aberdovey, was granted.

Mr j Maurice Jones, J.P., presided, and said all were pleased to see Lady Davies present, who had done splendid work not only in that county but throughout Wales. He also referred to the death of Lord Rhondda, who did a great deal for the welfare of the child when he was president of the Local Government Board. He was a great Welshman, with exceptional powers nf organisation. His death meant a serious loss to the country. Mr. E. D. Rowlands, Council School, Chwilog, addressed the mothers, taking for his subject, "The Child." He spoke of the importance of proper feeding and cloth- ing and impressed on the mothe s that it was essential to give children plenty of sleep. He referred to moral culture and said it was the sacred duty of parents to educate children morally at home. Lady Davies distributed prizes to those mothers who had made the best attendance at the fortnightly clinic with their babies. The following received prizes: Mrs. Llovd. North-street; Mrs Williams, High-street, and Mrs Evason, Abererch-road. Lady Davies congratulated the doctors, nurses, and the committee on the excellent work done by their clinic. Carnarvonshire had the best scheme lir, Wales for the welfare of the child. Clinics' were started two years ago, owing to the serious mortality amongst infants due to ignorance, bad housing, etc. She urged the importance of plenty of sunshine and fresh air as weil as plenty of sleep. Dr. R. J. Evans proposed a vote of thanks to Lady Davies, and mentioned that last year infant mortality was lower than it had been for many years, which lie attributed to the excellent work done by clinics. He asked Lady Davies to use her influence with the Government to increase the I ration of sugar and butter and said the pre- sent arrangement was pennv wise -and pound foolish policy. Mrs. Yale seconded the vote, and Dr. E. Parry Edwards supported it in a. humorous speech, and it was unanimously agreed to. The Misses Davies (Morlais) en- livened the proceedings with a duet and Miss Jones (Chwilog) san^ a solo. Votes of thanks to Mrs. J. G.

j Lleyn Council. I < CHEESE DISTRIBUTION. UNEMPLOYED HARVEST MEN. I Lleyn Council met at Pwllheli on Wednesday week, Mr. J. Hughes Parry. J.P., presiding. On the proposition of the Rev. T. E. Owen, the Clerk was instructed to ask parish councils to keep a record and preserve rights in public footpaths. Alderman J. T. Jones called attention to cheese from a local factory being sent to English markets so that locai people t>nd even producers could not get cheese.—Mr. Henry Roberts explained that Mr. Lake, Carnarvon, was appointed to distribute locally, t ut Mr. Lake's name was not on the list of cheese merchants and the only man authorised to dis- tr bute cheese in North Wales was Mr. Norton, Salop. The Committee had no alternative but to send the cheese to Mr. Norton. Members could demand a pound or two per week accord- ing to the number of family, but Mr Norton must first send the cheese away to be graded.—The Chairman: Mr. Norton promised to supply local retailers with cheese.—The Rev. T. E. Owen said the Food Committee protested against the butter rationing scheme because Welsh people were living on bread and butter, whilst the Englishman was living on beer, bread, and cheese. If they were going to in- sist on having butter for the Welshmen it was not fair to object to the Englishman having his cheese. At the same time he was in favour of sending a strong appeal to have the cheese distributed locally.-Alderman J. T. Jones moved a strong protest to the Food Commis- sioner and the Food Production Department against sending cheese away from the district and it was agreed to.—The Chairman said farmers would not send milk to the cheese factory if Pwllheli market valuers had not reduced the price of butter to 2s. 2d. per pound. It was reported by the Road Surveyor that all the roadmen were ready to help in the har- vest for two months.—The Chairman said scarcity of labour was not so acute as farmers pretended. Several good workmen failed to secure employment for the harvest at Criccieth fair on Saturday and were compelled to seek employment in another county.—The Cliair- man's statement was confirmed by Mr. John Pierce, who said he knew several men who failed to secure employment on farms. — Mr. Robert Jones, Penrhos, said he knew several farmers who, were short of men and would be i glad to engage the men referred to. The Inspector submitted a report respecting I heaps of ashes and otiier nuisances in ajid about Llithfaen Village, an-n f-he Clerk was directed to communicate with Mr. Hugh 1 Griffith on behalf of the Parish Council and to I intimate that if nuisances are not abated before i the 20th the Council will undertake the I scavenging of the village.

Among various special meanings attached to the term, we may consider one or two bearing upon the question of health. An ailing person will welcome as a pleasing proposition the idea of Good Health being substituted for Ill-health. As a matter of fact this is the kind of 11 substitution which has been taking place for many years past. Thanks to the wide and increasing use of Beecham's Pills, conditions of Ill-health are constantly being removed; conditions of Good Health are constantly taking their place. This is a fact-an actual experience to which thousands of men and women, all over the world, will bear glad and willing testimony. A satisfactory "substitution scheme" so far as matters of health are concerned is the adoption of Beecham-, Pills as a Family Medicine.
