Banson, of 13, Hallgarth-street, Durham, says:—"I have practised nursing others half my life, both in London and the Provinces, but never until four years ago did I have anxiety about my own health. "Then, however, the years of physical strain and exposure to all weathers led to kidney breakdown, and serious symptoms of kidney weakness began. The excretions became gravelly and distressing, my back gave me con- stant pain, and I got run down, nervous and rheumatic. "Knowing the risks of kidney complaint, I decided to try Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and I was astonished at their effectiveness. They did great good immediately, and within a few weeks had gradually but surely rid me of every sign of kidney or bladder weakness, and made me free from pain in every way. Doan's Pills gave me good health, and I freely speak my mind about them. It is a grateful pleasure to recommend this kidney medicine as the best in my experience (Signed) "A Banaon." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills do not act on the bowels. They are solely for the kidneys am bladder, and complaints associated with these organs, such as :-Inflammation, Ston-, Sciatica, Rheumatism, Gravel, Lumbago, Nervousness, Backache, Renal-dropsy, Impure Blood.

Machynlleth Guardians. ¡ THE HOSPITAL AS A SCHOOL. j At Machynlleth Guardians on Wednesday. Mr Meynck Roberts p.-esiding, it was reported that all the calls had been paid wi-.h the exception of E260 due from Machynlleth over- seets. There was a balance of £1,366 in hand and a cheque for £1,000 was due from the Merioneth Coun'y Council. Mrs H. G. Bonsall, Galltylian, commandant of the Hospital wrote that the scheme for utilising the Hospital for the manufacture of artificial limbs had been abandoned and the building would be returned to the Guardians in April. Mr Edward Hughes brought up the matter of selling the Workhouse to the County School Governors, and it was decided to ask the Local Government Board for consent to sell Or let the building.

HOW RUPERT BROOKE DIED. Details of the last days of Rupert Brooke, who died at Lemnos in April, 1915, were given by General Sir Ian Hamilton, who un- veiled a medallion at Rugby School, in memory of the brilliant yourg soldier-poet. When, on April 4. 1915, I inspected tho Royal Naval Division at Port Sakl," said Sir Ian, I asked if I might see Rupert Brooke. He was sick. It seemed nothing serious-a toucli cf t1:" &_) I went irto hLs little tent, whore h was lyitg stretched out on the desert, ai-d looking extr ordi- narily haildso,me--a very knig-htly presence. "While speaking- to him my previous -errs crystallised into a su lde.i clear and strong premonition that he wa, one of 1 h v»e whom the envious gods love too well. So I m:1o(' my futile effort, and bogged him to come on my personal staff, where I could tree to it he got serious work to do. I promised him a fair share of d-'iger. "He replied just as Sir Philip Sidney would have replied. He r.-ou'd have loved to come, but he loved better the thought of going through the first lan ling and the first 11 n and worst fighting 6houlde to shoulder with his comrades, and so, in the afternoon of April 23, when the black sliips lay in the wonderful blue of the bay, and the troops in their transports steamed out slowly, cheering wild with enthusiasm and joy. Rupert Erooke lay ng that boy of genius, who had it in hi" magic pen to have brought home the significance of the Dar- danelles to the people of the Empire."

THE COLOUR (URE. A young officer, who had been unable to sleep for many nights, was placed in a room in which purple predominated, and then slept soundly. This is one case of cure by the Kemp Prosser colour scheme at the Maudsley Neurological Hospital, Denmark Hill, described by Dr. E. N. Snowden in the "Lancet." Warda have been decorated with stimula- ting and sedative colours. One room has a sky-blue ceiling, yellow walls, and green bed-covers and curtains. There are three "hief side rooms: yellow and green, stimula- ting effect; purple and bluo, soothing effect; yellow and blue, stimulating effect. A patient with neurasthenia wac, cured of hedache8 by living in the purple room. A patient with hyetoria was put into the purple room. In two days he became hope- lessly depressed and was removed to the yellow room, where he recovered. On the ither hand, two patients placed in the yellow room declared they would go mad if hhey were left there. But after two days this feeling disappeared. Crime, in a mili- tary sense, was less in these coloured wards than in others.

WOMEN TO BE SOLICITORS. Solicitors discussed the admission of women to the legal profe-ss on at a special meeting of the Law Society. A resolution approving the admission of women was car- ried by fifty votes to t!:irty-t Sir Walter Trower eikl it was a matter )f equality of opportunity. Whether women would be hampered by matrimonial adven- tllrø, was a question that did not arise. Whether women succeeded or failed, he ii--ped the profession would give them a 3ordial welcome. Wom<n uecd to be called the fair sex, but, for the purpose of this particular matter, he thought they should be called dark horses. Mr. G. B. Crook, opposing the resolution, said the natural step was from the Bar to the Bench, but they would never get the judicial factor into the mind of woman. If they degraded woman to the level of the rival of men in earning a living they would io her a great deal of harm

FATAL DOSE OF OPIUM. A verdict of "Death from misadventure" was returned at an inquest at Deptford on Norah I. McSwceney. of Balham, who died in the Metropolitan Asylums Board Hospital from an overdose of opium. Dr. Turner, having decided to make an mcision in Mise McSween y's throat, ordered fifteen minims of tincture of opium to relieve the pain ar:d hemorrhage, which would not be a fatal dose if mixed with water. Miss Kathleen MoCulloch, who had been iispenser for eight years, said she put half an ounce of opium in a one-ounce bottie, and Sister Shirley said she gave the whole of it to Miss McSweeney, thinking it had been prepared as a draught. Miss McCul- loch aid the reason for sending it was that she thought a second draught might have to be administered.

COLONELS BROKEN PROMISE. The settlement of an action for breach of promise brought by Miss Beatrice Tait a ainst Colonel Gardiner, D.S.O., was an- nounced in the King's Bench Division. Sir Edward Marshall Hall, K.C., who ap- peared for Miss Tait, stated that Colonel Gardiner was a distinguished soldier. The couple were engaged for a considerable time, and Colonel Gardiner broke off the engage- ment. He had consented to judgment against him for X700. "Colonel Gardiner made the promise," "aid Mr. S. H. Emmanuel, counsel for Colonel Gardiner, "he was not able to keep it, and he has got to pay for it."

MEDAL FOR SPECIALS." The design for the Special Constables' medal has, it is stated, been decided upon. The medal will be surmounted by a crown, vhile the ribbon will be white and blue. Thrs will be added according to the length of service. Those Specials who joined at the outset will have a bar for 1914 and a bar for every two years. The first two bare j -vill have a small star on them, similar to ■ tH long-eervice star worn on the sleeve of the tunic. Bars will be added up to the' time of demobilisation, which may be de- rided on at any moment.

PILGRIMS MARCH TO LONDON. On the morning of Good Friday there will start from Bath a religious procession of a character which recalls the early pilgrim- ages of the Church in England. Its objective! is London, and it will be composed of a number of preachers and evangelists, whoM strength will probably be considerably aug. mented on their long route march of over one hundred miles. Wayside preaching and services at halting places will be features of the pilgrimage.

North Welsh coast paddle steamers. now engaged In mine-sweeping, are soon to be "deaqd and sent back for pleasure trips.

i Welsh Church Endowment I NEW SOLUTION REJECTED. The suggestion m ide by certain m mbers of Parliament tor a ww solution of the Wolsh Church question has bepll very u fa- oural>y received by most Welsh Liberals in London. The suggestion is that the lolder I endowments on which the Welsh Church Act operates should bo left to Uk. Welsh county couiii'il-? and! other public bodies, but that the State, in other words the taxpayers, should give a fund of equal amount to the disestablished Church. Putting asidj the injustice to the t xrayer who would he forced to endbw a rcligous botly over which lie would li-V, no control, the proposal cuts at the roots of the whole Welsh disesta,hlislwd iagioatfon. Tlie fo-elingi that underlay the movement is the sense of the injustice that a single denomination out of several should ba endowed bv the State. The proposal brings back the old injus ice in a I worse form, and', if one could conceive its adopted, would lead to a serious trouble in Wales. A leading Welsh Ncn<v~mforrtyst told me, writes a London correspondent that if it were done it wou7d make Wales like Ireland. Great surprise is exoressoo that S r Owen Thomas should sunnort the proposal. It is stated, however, that at the general election, when he deceated Sir Ellis Griffith, he got the Church vote.

REFORM IN~PRISONS. Discontinuance oi the si.ence" rule of strict separate confinement and of un. neceenavy liuiiiili-n ti<ti in (frttjs especially for wemen," in prisons are among the re- forms in administrations of those institutions urged by the Penal Reform League, a de- putation from whom waited) on the Home Secretary on Friday. One of the most novel suggestions made is that prisoners should co-operate in their own discipline. Assoc'a ed with the Penal Reform League were about 22 other organisations, including the Association HeadjmistresBes, the Federa- tion of Uniform Women, several sufferage societies, the Women's Co-operative Guild, the Roval B itish Nurses' Association, dnd the National Union of British Nurses. The deputation also made suggestions in regard to improved hygiene and sanitary arr— aments, and with regard to the public in court. They urged the encouragement bv m,fI",istrat of iuvenile courts, of the ad- mission of persons interested in the young and suggested that when a court i", cleared on account of certain evidence of a serious character VOIIng persons of both sexes <\hould asked to leave.

The Royal Agricultural Society of Engiand is visiting Cardiff this year and it has been suggested tnat tile Museum should. during the period of the Agricultural Show, place on exhibition' selections from its colletions, illustrating plant disea es, dam- age done to crops by birds and insects and giving information as to how to remedy the trouble. With this ooject in view it is hoped that a number of specimens of all kinds which have been attacked by disease or pest will be sent for examination and exhibition during the show. Unfortunately the Museum Botanist was killed in France. However Mr. A. A. Pettigrew, Roath Park Houso, Cardiff, has offered to give the Museum the benefit of his advice and assistance and plants or roots should be sent to him direc. or to qr. William Evans Hoyle.

CRICCIETH WELCOME Sir,—I should like to draw the attention of Criccieth people concerning the welcome to our fighting men who are returning home every week from all theatres of war. I have read w.th interes in your paper of all the towns fighting men who are returning home every week from all theatres of war. I have read With interes in your paper of all the iowns from Aberystwyth to Pwllheli extend.ng a welcome of some sort to the boys as they come home. But unfortunately Criccieih has not woke up ye-, in the matter, but whether they intend doing remains in their own hands. It strikes me that Criccieth was not counted in this war, or they would take steps towards this deserving welcome. If only for our gallan. men who has fought and laid down their lives for their homeland, Criccieth residents would have felt the blow very much. Maybe that these few words will wake up Criccieth. DISCHARGED SOLDIER. TOWYN RED DEER FIND. The previous correspondence on this subject which has appeared in your impartial columns has h tlier^o been ttrongly favourable to the theory that the animals concerned met, with their demise and became castaways on the low water shore line at Towyn and Barmouth in consequence of a sudden submergence of the Cantref y Gwaelod in he fifth century, A.D., whilst engaged in browsing in a now submerged forest Your last issue, however, includes a letter from an Indian shekarri who, from personal experience as a game hunter in the recesses of the Himalayas controverts this theory, having himself seen the horns of the Ibex in process of cold storage transit being conveyed on a living glacier in far Cathay, and attributes the Towyn finds to a similar process, thus bringing the find into the glacial or prehistoric period (Pliocene or Pleistoceno) in this country oi ancient Cambria.. Your EMS ern hunter has also seen in the Glaslyn district antlers which he presumes have been similarly conveyed from the Hebog or Moelwyn Slopes, resembling those of an Indian Sambha.r. May not these have been those appertaining to our old friend of Towyn fame, the Carw or red deer of renown, the horns of which only differ from those of the Sambhar in tha-, they trifurcate at the ex- tremities, whereas the Sambhar's terminate in a single tine. Somewhat similar re-emblances would hold good for the lTorns of the Wapite, a native of Asia and North America, doubtless known also to your recenl, correspondent. Assuming that as your latest expert suggests that there is no bottom in the submerged forest and Can .ref y Gwaelod theory of historical times, and that we have to fall back on the glacial period origin for the solution of this obscure problem (say, 100,000 years) back to prehistoric times how do we account for the position of he antlers and bones being found In coincident positions on the low water line at places so far apart as Barmouth and Towyn foreshores, unless undergone some abnormal physical occurrence such as a a. dden inrush of the sea into the forest in 'he fifth century. The skeleton of a deceased deer carried out to sea on a block of glacial ice would disengage itself in deep wa'er and not float airily to 'he then high water mark without sinking en route, and depositing its pelvis alongside it as a further proof of iden'dty. To bring the find into the li'storic period it is not necessary to do more than to suppose such a heavy fall of snow on the Cader and mountain ranges as would drive the deer into '.be now submerged forest seashore districts where these mighty mr.np'-ehs of the glen would perish from natural causes if so inclined (R.I P ).
