I was continually poulticing the abscess, but skill it would uDt, beal. One day someone advised me to try Clarke's Blood Mixture,' and after fcrtrtng two battles 1 could see a great difference, so 1 continued it, and after taking the third bottle it had dis- appeared. I was quite run down, wpak, and very tt.in, but M soon as the abseoss had healed I began to fill out agrin."

Machynlleth Rural Council RAILROAD TO ABERHOSAN. WORKMEN'S WAGES. — Mac'iynl.'eth Rural Council met on Wednes- day Mr. Richard Jones, Yniyshir, pre- siding. Tie Su.veyor reported that houses on small holdings presented a verj difficult problem, as many wore m a bad state. The difficulty was t, Gn1 o!er accommodation for tenants. Too many email holdings had been added to large f;8 to save the expense of maintain- ing ;,110 hensos in a proper state of repair. The T,, cal Government Beard Inspector advised the CV-uncil to issue closing orders and report the cagfis to the County Council, which had special powers under the Small Holdings Act. —Mr. Jrho Parry: That might cause still more of 'be holdings to be added to larger farms Ti., Surveyor: Tie County Council has power to prpvvnt that.—Tt was decided to issue final notices. The Clerk to the Pen'egoes Parish Council forwarded a petition, signed by a large num- ber of the parishioners, in favour of having a railway to Aherhosan. Without some industry it would rvvor p?y.—It was decided to consult the Urban Council. A p olct was received from a working man against i)i,. proposition to build bouses with orfv one large living voom and a scullery, with- out a plncr on the ground floor. The Council fe!t if a small kitchen with a fireplace was prGvid2.Q the family would live in it and keep the other room as a "show" apartment.— Mr. Francis; I knon* cf one cottage with the parlon.r filled with ornaments. No one has hern in it for ten yefrs.—Nr> action was taken. Tbj« Rev. OwiHvm Rees1 naid the County Council bar! raised the wnges of their roadmen to 35s., nrl they should prant the same in- crease to their roadmen. Tt would mean only about £ f0 a year TI" gave notice that he would mov-e n proposition to that effect at the next mectine.

Tregaron Education COUNTY SCHOOL PRIZE DISTRIBUTION. The annual distribution of prizes took place on Thursday afternoon of last week and was witnessed by parents and others interested in the school. Mr. J. H. Davies. M.A., and Mr D, C. Roberta, Aberystwyth, made the distribution. Mr T. Joniis, chemist, Tregaron, presided and was supported by Mrs Dr Lloyd, Mrs Evans, Albion House; Miss Jenkins, Trecefel; Messrs J. Rees, C.M Rees Jones, D D, Evans R D Herberts (governors). Mr. Morgan (clerk), Mr G. T. Lewis M.A, (headmaster), Mr S. M, Powell M.A., Mr. Griffiths B.A. Mr Davies, Mr J. T. Rees, Mus Bac. Miss Evans and Miss Bevan (members of the staff). The Headmaster in his report referred to the influenza epidemic by which the school lost some of its best pupils and to the war in which several aid pupils were killed, died, or are missing. Lee Corpl. J. M. Jones had won the D.C.M. and Pte Oswald Lloyd the M.M. It was the intention of the Gov- ernors to erect a fitting memorial in the school. In spite of war difficulties some of the work done was the best accomplished in the school. The several school societies had not been neglected. A violin class was making g-ood progress and the number of pupils tak- in7 pianoforte lpssons was the highest on re- cord. Dr. Vaughan Thomas, inspector of music indudied, Tregaron School among the seven best schools in Wales. The greatest ■succ-ss last, jvear was achieved by David Matthew Williams. Cellan, who took first place of all Welsh candidates in t'-e C.W.B. ex- amination. He took distinctions in fourteen papers, a truly marvellous performance. He could have taken the CBO scholarship at Jesus Cbllege, Oxford, but he decided to sit the entrance scholarship examination at U.C.W. Abervstwvth in which l'e took first place and won the C40 David Davies scholarship and a county exhibition of £ 15. The g^eat successes ot the school we-e telling on the number of tulpils and thiq session The 140 mark had heei nearly reached. A total of C245 per annum had be"n won in scholarships and exhibitions bv eiht nunils. Unless m"ans were procured to increase the salaries of staffs in schools lik(v Treearon there would he immediate ganger of losing the befit teachers to the larsrei* kh 001 SI. Mr .T. H. Davies, in bis address congratu- lated staff and pupils on their success. As a. member of the Central Welsh Board, he had tha advantage of knowing what was (Sone at all intermediate schools in Wales and T'e^-ar-on ^hooll held a very high plaee among them. The fact that Mr D. Matthew Williams took such distinctions proved that the work done was thorough and genuine, (cheers) His success was an outstanding one in the his. tory not only of Tregaron school but also of thei C.W.B. (cheers). As registrar of the Aberystwyth College he was also able to testify to the good work done by the Tre. garon students. They had especially excelled in Welsh, they had held the Cynddclw Schol- arship for many years and had taken the chair at the Eisteddfod on many occasions. He only hoped that in future {years students front Tregaron wftuld maintain their v^ork and achievements. Proceeding, Mr. Davies, I touched upon the new Education Act as it related to rural districts and mentioned the important fact that discharged men would be granted entrance to Aberystwyth Oollego without sitting the matriculation examina- tion. The Government were also forming com- mittees to carry out schemes and the men would no doubt be given grants to enable them to follow their educational course He laid stress on that latter point and stated that it should be made known in every locality. In conclusion he warmly urged the pupils to hard work and to take advantage of dïeir many opportunities (Cheers). After the School Girls Choir sang, Mr. D. C Roberts addressed the meeting. Mr Roberts was warmly received. He was glad to have the opportunit/v of visiting the school. The number present at the prize distribution mani- fested the interest taken by the inhabitants. Hq oongmtulated the Governors. Staff and pupils on their continued success. Ten vears ago the school was somewhere between n0 and 70, but b|v now the number was 140 Not only in numbers fcut als(-t iT successes I the school was gaining high place in the edu- flafitonal world. The thirty' one certificates of the C.W.B, distributed that day and the record place reached bv the top boy in Wales Nr#Dkp volurrbs of_t!"|>ir credit. The school indeed was a, credit to Cardiganshire and to their little conntrv and testified to the thorough effic;etlm of the staff (cheers). He wished to impress on pupils who had not succeed as well -a others not to be dis- heartened but t-. persevere for perseverance m the end e to success. There was no- thin- to be I ltd for nothing. Things of value are those offered by hard work. The speaks urged tbe pnnils not to shirk dimcultie., but viiltier, biit tb overcome them. S-me tactful people boasted their ability to pass bv difficulties, but the real worth of boys and girls was in their determination to overcome difficulties. Mr Roberts eloquently appealed to the pupils to bp proud of their school, to be proud of the men and women who had passed through the school, to be proud of the town of Tre- garon and to remember Henry Richards a8 one old rmpil of the school wrote of him re- cently "TIle Good European," and to strive to emulate the example of such men. Henry Richard^ had but few advantages and yet »o^e to be a man of European fame. Henry Richards would have been glad to get the henefit of their school training. Mr. Roh- erts also referred to the free plac.8 granted at the school through the scholarship exam- mations last year, 13 pupils from 9 schools sat. There were 28 schools in the district a-na the Governors should inquire why all these schools were not represented at the examinations. The head teachers of element- ary schools should be appealed to, to encourage bright pupil, to enter for the free places. Mr. Roberts also urged the Governors to con- sider the extra maintainance of distant pupils of poor parents at school and to con- sider the necessity of assisting them by gmng maintainance grants. In conclusion !lSr JetaiI t0 u JZ T ■ Aci w nch in his ^"ion was a ark in the history of education in this country. TJe years 1870 and 1889 were im- A ef]"cational reforms. 9 Act of 19 8 was a great stride forward. "T;* nnd girls r.t t,hft age of 11-16 when Veir minis, were opening and when the tea- Irrea!

I UaEsybyther Rural Council. MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT. At Llanji'byther Rural Council on Mr John Thomas presiding, Dr. E C. D,> ie medical officer, reported on vt^ps to be take in dealing with miliaria, influenza, etc., f.nd suggested that nurses should b sec.fed for the district. To begin \i:h, a nurse a' 1 1: nvby- ther would supply part of Llanwenog, LJan- wnen, Lanybyther, Llanllwni, and Peuc rre^. It was absolutely necessary to provide mOl" midwives. He had no hettatil; ?< in saying that better housing and better nursing w u'd have alleviated suffering, aud in sotr e instances have saved the lives c.f recent vict ms of influenza. There was a danger of re'ving too much on the bottle of medi'ine and too little on heredity and environment. A perfect generation must develop on the foundation laid by previous generations. If the standard of health was to be raised better nursing and better housing must be provided and a better knowledge of the laws of health must be dif- fuse4. With that knowledge humanity would be educated in obtaining tronger powers of re- sistence to disease but in prevention.—The Surveyor reported that he had expended on the repair of the Rhydcymere road an amount over the grant the Council had received from the Road Board and suggested that the Coun- cil should write for a further grant.—The suggestion was adopted.—A vote of thanks to the retiring Chairman was accorded on the proposition of Mr. D. I. Rees, se-onded by Mr Daniel Davies.
