MACHYNLLETH. NAVAL AND Q.M.A.A.C. WEDDING—An interesting wedding was solemnised at the Church on Saturday when Miss Maud Jarman, eldest daughter of Mr. J. G. Jarman, 2, Bod- Icndeb-iane, was married to Telegraphist Jas. Lander, R.N (Mine Clearance Service), second son of Mr. and Mrs. Lander, Bceston, Notts. The bride served for a considerable period in Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps and was stationed at Dover when she was discharged a few weeks ago. Miss A. G. Jarman was bridesmaid and Mr. D. J. Davies, 1. Bod- londeb-lane, best man. In the unavoidable absence of the bride's father the bride was given away by her brother (Mr. T. O Jar- man). The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. P.

Numerous presents were re- ceived. FROM EGYPT.—After an absence of some years on military sdrvice in Egypt, Mr David Evans, Garden Village (late of Newlands), has been demobilised.

Land for Soldiers. APPLICATIONS IN ABERYSTWYTH AREA Mr. Percy Wilkinson presided over a meet- ing of Small Holdings Committee for Aberyst- wyth Union on Monday. The Clerk (Mr J. Paith Morgan) was directed to write to Mrs. Smith Bryngwyn with refer- ence to the application of Isaac Hughes, Bryn- meurig Trefeirig, for part of Broginin Fawr. An application was made by Isaac Jones, Tyisa, for seventeen acres of Abermaide land He was advised to communicate with the owner. Among other applicants were discharged and disabled soldiers, and the Chairman said it was unfortunate that the Committee had no land available for them. For these cases it would be desirable to form a colony if a suitable place be found. They were certainly the sort of cases with which the Committee would have to deal. In the case of Samuel Jones Treor,kv, it was stated that he had written to the Prime Miniver and had beon interviewed by Mr. John Owen, on behai'f of the Board of Ag-i- cuJturc. who recommended that he should be allowed a cottage holding. His wife was brought up on a farm near Aberystwyth and her brother who kept the farm liad been killed in the war. Suffering from shell shock and having berri gassed, applicant was unable to folow his employment as a. collier. The appli- cation, and also that of A. Aubrey Morgan, Tynllwyn, Devil's Bridge, were deferred for further information It was agreed to inform R. Hughes, Pen- pompren, who applied for AUgreiddyn, Melin- dwr, that the farm had been purchased by three owners. John Hughes, PeTipompren, also -replied for part of Cefncoed. As it was stated that land was advertised for sale in the dis- trict, it was agreed to communicate with Mr. Parry, Lidiardau. Referring to the application of H. Richards, Rhydcochiaid, the Chairman said he believed he had been able to make satisfactory arrange- ments on behalf of the Earl oi L'sbume. An application by Isaac Pugh Jones, Cnwch Coeh. was referred to the Chairman for report. The applications of John Evans, RheidoNter- race for Buildings Farm (owned by Aberyst- wyth Corporation), and of Isaac Thomas for part of Cefnhendre, were referred to the owners.

National Economy. THE NEW RETRENCHMENT CAMPAIGN. Amidst all other pressing calls upon his time and attcntion, Mr. Lloyd George is giving oarncst consideration to the great problem of national eoonomy. The letter which he recently a,ddreased to all members of the Ministry and hqads of Government Depart- mouts indicates broadly his views on this question which at the present time over- shadows all others in this country. The country has bean rapidly travelling the road, to ruid, It. has given th,4 WOl"d a practical Ulceration of Tie iiiire fr-,grers," The end of such progress means inevitable disaster. RatPier than we should continue on this ruinous road the Prime Minister is pro- pared to insist on drastic reforms, on the most rigid economy, in every Government depart- ment., in every branch of the public service. If the permanent heads of government depart- ments are either unable or unwilling to effect. the necessary reforms, their further services; must be dispensed with aDd others who both can and will do what is required will have to undertake the duties. If the political heads of departments are either disinclined to enforce this policy of retrenchment, or are too weak to compel their permanent officials to effect the nocessary departmental reforms, then, at all c-sts, these political heads must make room for those who arc prepared to loyally support th Governmoot and the Premier in this cam- paign for national economy. Those are the salient facte, of the situation, aflid Mr. Lloyd George may be relied upon to soo the matter through. He cannot, and probably does not, expect to get it an his own way without opposition from within, as well as from without, the departments concerned. But whatever tho opposition and from what- ever quartar it comes, he is, we believe, deter- mined to overcome it at all costs. It is gratifying to find that, so far, the heads of some of the biggest spending departments of the Government are loyally co-operating with its head in this vital matter. The closest scrutiny is now being made with the internal working of all the chief government depart- ments. In his great three hours speech in House of Commons on the eve of the rece^ he urged the imperative necessity of tfefiFt and economy in private and business life gen- erally. He was then twitted, and at the nrst blush not unfairly, with allocating blamo for the threatened financial crisis to every one except those of his own government house- hold. In justice to him it must now be ad mitted that, so far as government departments are concerned, he is determined to practice what he has just preached. EXISTING SUBSIDIES. It should be borne in mind that no inconsid- erable portion of the post-war national expen diture is directly attributable to Government subsidies made to relieve pressure and want in tho country. Nearly 150 millions of our annual expenditure may be thus accounted for. Take three leading items only:- 1. BREAD.—The Government^ in order to enable the public to buy the quartern loa.f at 91. instead of at a considerably higher figure, pays E50,000,000 a year to mafce good the difference between the price actually paid and wha,t would 1 Stho oAlinary markci pricq were it not for their subsidy. 2. RAILWAYS. The increased cost of railway travelling has been, and continues to bo a general grievance. We have no cheap faro's; we pay 50 per cent more than formerly for every railway ticket we buy. We grumble at all this. But we forget that the Govern- ment has been working the railways at a loss; that had the control and administration re mained as before in the hands of railway com- panies we should to-day have been much worse off than we are, and the railway fares, instoid of being Is. 6d. for every Is. pre-war rates, would probably have been at least 2s. The Government subsidises the railways to thq extent of £ 60,000,000 a year to meet this logs. 3. UNEMPLOYMENT.—Another drain on the national fund has been the unemployment grant, amounting in the aggregate to some £ 35,000,000 a year. PRACTICAL RETRENCHMENT. It is a mistake to assumo, as is very gener- ally done, that no retrenchment has tekcm place since the armistice. Let us look at the actual figures:- I 1. For the past six months of the war, that is to say, the six months preceding thP armis- tice in November, the daily expenditure of the nation was roughly seven and a half mil- lions—to be precise C7,443,000 a day. 2. For the first five months after the armistice—that is the five months ending 31st March our daily expenditure decreased by nearly one million pounds, the actual figure being C6,476,000 a day. 3. For the next five months, or from April 1st to September lst, a further drat) in expen- diture of two millions a day has been exper- ienced, the actual figure being £ 4,400,000 a day. Compare the first and the last figures:- Nov. 9, 1918, daily expenditure £ 7,443,000 Sept. 1, 1919, daily expenditure, C4,400,000 Daily saving actually effected E3,043,000 Put in simpler form it come, to this:—For every C100 spent before the armistice we arc spending now lesg-tlian £60. This is good. But it is not good enough for the country, and it is not good enough for Mr Lloyd George.

The Clerk was authorised to arrange terms with the contractors for the repair of a bridge at Cwmystwyth. The appointmceit of a local committee to in- vestigate and determine cases under the Profit- eering Act was deferred until the next meeting. i Mr Isaa<c.- the. surveyor, ronorterl oa-tlic state of Glanfread road, especially the part near Llandre.—Mr Bunce Morgan said it woujd be practically prohibitive at present prices to undertake «nd«nine and repairing of the road to meet the requirements of the County Coun- cil, if it was to be taken over.—It was agreed to procure stone for the repair of the portion of the road near Llandre. Attention was called by Mr. Daniel Jenkins, surveyor, to the increased scale of charges fOr the hire of team labour recommended by the Farmers' Union.—Mr. Bunce Morgan said the new charges would have to bo confirmed by the County Executive before being put in opera- tion.—Mr. R L. Thomas said farmers were not likely to do much haulage in the current month and it was therefore decided to continue the present charges until the next meeting. The Sanitary Inspector reported that owing to the objection of someone interested in the land it would be necessary to find another source of water supply for Chancery School tffnd village. For Peiatrebont the nearest suit- able water supply was at Cwmcafan, the on.y drawback of which was the distance from the village. Two cases of scarlet fever and a. case of diphtheria, which had bean imported, were notified. Plans of alterations and additions Ho the dw6Iing at Lletylwyden Farm Tre'r- ddol, were approved. An old hcuse at Blaen- cwmpadarn and a cottage at Bwlchgwynt, Bethel, were unfit for habitation.—The report was adopted.—Wkh regard to Pentrebonti Mr Richard Jones anfl Mr. Wright reported on un alternative source of water supply at Llan- rhystyd Road and it was agreed to make further inquiries. Mr John Evans, water rate collector, Berth, applied for an increase of salary from E16 to £20, which was agreed to.

Roberts, it was agreed that the Director should visit schools and confer with teachers to urge the need of improvement in the,pereentage of attendance Applications from three cleaners for increase of salaries were granted. The Head Teacher of Ponfcerwyd, replying to the Architect's reoort on the school, wrote that c the cleaner refused to clean the premises more than twice a week unless she had an increase of wages. Minor repafrs were required. He added that concerts and miscellaneous meetings during the war were more responsible than the children for wear and tear of the school in telior.-Chair;mam: We hope the Head Teacher dthjs not thiftk that by giving these reasons he is absolved from responsibility. Aberystwyth Rural Council applied for a con- tribution to the cost of providing water supply for Chancery School and illoge.TI was agreed to reply that it was the Council's legal duty to prcvide the supply.

Peter Jones suggested that inforrn^t'o-n shculd be given of the probable expanse whi^h would have to be incurred in prov-ding addi- tional accommodation and staffing. He did not consider it was unreasonable to ask for that information before the Committee was committed to the adoption of a scheme.—It was agreed provisionally, on the proposition of the Rev. T Ma«on Jones to aoprov„ the principle of combining part-time ind wholr-time attend- ance.—The hone was expressed that a centre at Aberystwyth would be started as soon as possible. Keplving to Mr. David Lewis, the Director explained tha.t the advertisement relating to the nev school at Llandd^inol was the result of correspondence with the Board of Education in, consequence of the re-opening of the o'd school after temporary closure.

Machynlleth Council. DOVEY BYE-LAWS. Machynlleth Urban Council met on Monday, present, Mesars. J. M. Breeze, chairman: R. Evan Humphreys, Richard Gi/iart, Richard Rees, Potor Vaughan, T. Parsons, J. Micah, T. R. Morgan, John Luml-ev, Edward Humphreys, Griffith Thomas, Edward Oliver, T. H. Evans, and Edmurd Gillart (olerk), Jamc. Humphrey* (surveyor), and Mr. Bond (assistant clerk). Tenders were received for the removal of house refuse. One tender was at £2 5s. for removing refuse for three day's a week, no specification boring given as to what refuse was meant. Another tender quoted 6d. below the lowest tender for removal of house and street refuse. It was said that £1 Is. was paid to the present contractor and that the tender of 6d. below the lowest tender was not fair. A certain price should be specified. —Mr T. R. Morgan proposed that the Council snouid ask the applicants to send in proper tenders for the removal of house refuse only. —Mr John Lumley seconded. Mr Richard Gillart eiid not think it fair to the other man who had tendered to put down 6d. belovr the lowest tender. He should name his price. —It was decided to ask for fre3h tenders. It was decided to sell the crop of cats in the Rectory field to Dr. A. O. Davi s, a tender sent in too late for twelve guineas not being entertained. A complaint was lodged by Mrs. Tones, Town Hall caretaker, of an objectionable en from the urinal below the Town Hall. Customers to the butcher's stall complained an' business was hindered Mr Richard Gillart proposed the matter should be left to the Medical Officer and Inspector to report.— Edward Humphreys said the smell was very objectionable and to mske matters worse pigs were weighed in the Town Hall on Wednes- days. There were eight or nine men pushing pigs on to the scale. Though revenue was increased slightly pig-weighing ought not to go on in front of a butchers stall..—Mr Griffith Thomas said the pmell was a nuisance to the town and the, urinal should be removed as it was not a fit thing to be in the Town Hall. The Council should follow the example of Aber- ystwyth and put a urinal near the Clock Tower. Mr Gillart's proposition that the Medical Officer and Inspector should report was seconded by Mr Edward Oliver and agreed to. Mr Richard Roes called attention to next fair day (September 18tli) falling on a Thursday. As it was the largest fair of the year it was desirable that shops should be kept open.— It wag decided that the half holiday should be en Fridays September Wth^ — Mr Edward Humphreys suggested that to curtail expenses of giving notice the Grocers Association should I inform its members — Me T. Parsons said drapers and others would take no notice of the Grocers Association and therefore the public should lot the shopkeepers know of the arrang-eme-nt ofhciallv.-It was decided to ask the Police Constable to give notice. A letter was read from the Secretary of the Nuvcing Association suggesting that the road in front of the Londonderry Cottage Hos- pital should bo covered with tar macadam in order to avoid the dust nuisance.—The Sur- veyor said the road was tar macadamised two or three years ago but it was impracticable to do that, part oi the road only. The sides round the Hospital would t>avo to be done.— It was decided that the Surveyor should see It was decided that the Surveyor should see to fcnat part of the read when doing other rJ:1.ds in the spring. The Clerk referred to an advertisement which appeared in the "Cambrian News" for August 15th by the Dovey, Mawddach and Glaslyn Fishery Board giving notice that it is tho intention of the Board of Conservators, after the expiration of ono month, to apply to tho Board of Agriculture and Fisheries for confirmation cf byelaws relating to the follow- ing matter:—"That Byelaw 3 (d), which pro- vides that the use of nets be prohibited beyond certain points upon the river Dovey, in such Byelaw more particularly indicated, be re- minded." The Qierk explained that if the application of the Conservators were agreed to A.berdovey fishermen would be allowed to go further up the river and Scoop fish out of the pools which the present byelaw prohibited. In 1910 an' enquiry was held by the Council when it was decided that it was detrimental to the trade of the town to allow Aberdovey fishermen to come higher up the river than Glandovey. Thes Conservators therefore made the byolaw.—Mr Parsons asked if there wero any altered circumstances justifying rescission cf the byelaw since 1910? At the time, he said, the Council felt that to allow Aberdovey fishermen to come up the river would be to the gain of Aberdovey and to the loss of Machynlleth_—Mr Gillart said it would be of great advantage to tho town if the fish could bo allowed to pass up the river to Machyn- lleth.—Mr Total TAirntey proposed ttfat thq Council should oppose r"cifsion as there were many Machynlleth men who wou!d be hard hit by it.—Mr Edward Humphreys proposed an amendment that the suggestion of rescinding should be entertained because during the time that Aberdovey fishermen were kept down the river the people of Machynlleth had not bene- fited in the IdW. Not a shilling had been j pained by pocr persons from the Dovey. As nothing had been gained in Machynlleth dur- ing that time nothing would be gained if the bye-law was withdrawn.—Mr Edward Oliver seconded and said baiiiffs put up the red flag for worm fishing on Fridays and pulled it down on Saturdays which was the working- man's lioliday.-Nir Richard Gillart said the Conservators did not give instructions to that effect and Mr Oliver was misinformed. Mr Peter Vaughan also told Mr Oliver that he was misinformed.—Mr Richard Rees taid he was not a fisherman, bit he Supported the views of Mr Edward Humphreys. The Dovey was swarming w;tn fish. In the old tIme before the existence of tlle byelaw fishermen coukl go up the river as far as they liked and caught as much fish as they could and yet the river kept fully stocked. There was an oppor- tunity for the fish to swim up the river during the close time. from Friday evening to Mon- day morning. The restriction moant a loss in revenue for the 7-30arl of Conservators. In 1910 E160 was received for netting. This year £59 was received. Two keepers had to -be dispensed with a% a result.—Mr T. R. Morga.n said if Aberdovev fishermen were allowed to fish higher up the river they would take all the fish back to Aberdovey and Machynlleth would be no hotter oil. Many visit.ors came s to Machynlleth for the fishing and spent large sums of money in the town.—Mr Evan Hum- phreys sugpfc>st<srf! that ro action should be taken in the matter Os feeling was so divided. He thought the fisherman should bo .allowed to come higher up the river and bc-lioved that when persons took the Almighty's blessings he sent more to replace tilem.-rive voteA for tl1" amendment and sCwon for the original proposition to object to the recission of the byelaw and the Chairman declared tno original proposition carried.

Goff, of Beches ottage, Saltney Ferry, near Chester, who writes: For fi, years I suffered greatly from' an ulcerated leg. which at one time was covered with open wound.. from knee to foot, there being as many as 21 wounds in it at once. I tried all sorts of preparations and attended the Infirm- ary. but nothing seemed to do me any good, and I was sent away from the Infirmary as incurable. One day my daughter saw Clarke's Blood Mixture advertised in a newspaper, and read it to me. and I decided to give it a trial. Finding the first lot was doing me good I persevered with it. and after havingfbur bottles my leg was completely heated. All. this happened some eight yeare ago and I have had no. return of the trouble ever. sInce. Sufferers from '< hfe- A '^1 h* V Av v/ V jf**1' ««», '• Bad Legs.
