The Company has been formed to acquire a site comprising nearly an acre, situate in the immediate vicinity of Charing Crtwa and Trafaigar-squaro. London, and to erect and carry on upon the major portion thereof a high-class and unique place of public enter- tainment. to be constructed in accordance with plans to be prepared by Mr. Franl, Mat- cham. The site (which is coloured b!ue. pink, and green on the plan accompanying the Prospectus) has frontages to St. Martin s-lane. Bedfovdhnry, Mays Buildings and Chandoa-street. The freehold portions of the site contain 13.224 square feet, or thereabouts. The leasehold portions contain 23.022 square feet. or thereabouts, and will be held for a term of ninety-nine years from 29th September, 1902, at an annual ground rent of £2.8<1;.1. In order to meet the wishes of the freeholder of the leasehold portions of the site. it ha.3 been arranged that the Company shall grant to him a lease of the freehold portions for a term-of 99 years and one day, from 29th September. 1902. at the yearly rent of a peppercorn and that ho shall include such portions in the lease to be granted by him to the Company. In consideration of this arrangement the Company will have the option to acquire the freehold of the leasehold portions in the year 1982. at a price equivalent to thirty years' purchase of the ground rent, plus the then value of the buildings erected thereon, the value to be calculated in proportion to their extent as com- pared with that of the buildings on the entire site. and !o'}e reckoned at the estimated coat of materials and construction l a due allowance for deterioration by lapse of time. If this option is exercised, the Company will become the freeholder of the whole site. The sum of £ 15,000 which has been deposited to secure the erection of the buildings upon the site will be assigned to the Company on completion, subject to the perform- ance of the conditions which it has been deposited to secure. The site comprises two fully licensed public-houses, one of which is subject to the provisions of contract No. 66. The premises numbered 40. 41. 42. and 43. Chandos-street. and 9 and 10. Taylor's-build- ings coloured yellow on the pla;u will be included in the purchase. Nos. 40, 41, and 42 Cbandoa-str^et. are held for an unexpired term of about 32 years, at an annual ground rent of JE263 10s. Nos. 43. Chandos-street. and 9 and 10. Taylor'e-buildings. are held for an uuexpired term of about 32 years, at an annual ground rent of £ 150. The West- minster City Council has the option to acquire Nos. 4;), 41. 42. and 43. Chandos-street. and XOB. 9 and 10, Tavlor's-buildings. at any time prior to the 29th July, 1904. at the pricp of £2D.aoo. or at a price to be as.segsed by some surveyor to be agreed upon. or in case of difference to be nominated by the President for the time being of the Incqrporated Law Society. The properties not required for the purposes of the theatre are estimated ■ to produce about £ 1.800 ner annum.. The land coloured pink on th2 plan wnl be given up for public improvements under th? provisions of an agreement with the Westminster Council, respecting the closure of Turner's- court. a thoroughfare which formerly intersected ths site. 'Contract Xn. 76.) A large expenditure has been made in acquiring vacant possession of certain of the leasehold por- tions of the site. and a shop is to be erected upon the land coloured green on the plan for the accommodation of one of the displaced tenants, to whom the same is to be leased tor a term of >0 years, at an annual gTOU^.d rent of ail50. (contract No. 79.) The nropviaLora of the "Bbck Horse public-house, Bedfordbury, are to be reinstated on the northern side of Mav's-buildings. (Contract No. 66.) Mr Oswald StoP of Singleton House. Newport-road. Cardiff, is the Vendor and Pro- mater, and has agreed to act as Chairman and Managing Director of the Company for a period of five years and to take no salary in any year until a dividend of ten per cent. ha- been paid After the payment of such a dividend Mr. Stoll will receive a yearly salary of £750. ind a further E100 in resrect of every one per cent. paid above ten per cent. The price is £ 194 000 pavable as to £ 164,000 in cash, and the balance in shares and (or) debenture stock, at the option of the Company. Mr. Stoll is selling to the Company at a profit, and will dis- charge out of such rrofit the preliminary expenses of and incident to the acquisition of the site rnd the formation and flotation of the Company down to the time when it becomes entitled to commence business, including a, brokerage of mnepence per share in respect of shares and of one-holf per cent.-in respect of Debenture Stock, allotted on application forms bear in" the stamn of the brokers to the* Company, but excepting the cost of preparing and registering the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the fees payable on registration and the stamp duty payable on the Conveyance to the Company, the costs relating to the creation of the Debenture Stock and the Trust Deed to secure the same, and the stamp duty thereon The estimated amount of the preliminary expenses payable by the "Vendor (including bank interest) is £ 16,000, and the other preliminary expenses are estimated at £2,500. Mr Stoll states that the theatre will be one of the largest houses of public entertain- ment in the United Kingdom, and will comprise maav novei features calculated to enhance its popularity, amongst others being a triple revolving stage propelled by electricity, and of such magnitude and mobility as will enable the management to produce an entertain- ment unlike anv other now produced in London or elsewhere, and which is impracticable in any existing structures. It is intended to open the theatre for four performances daily as an adaptation to an English environment, of the highly successful system of all-day performances now in ^ogue in the United States of America. According to the last census, the pot>nlr"*ion of Greater London is about 6.500.000. Mr. Stoll estimates that these figures afford fccone for the successful working of more ;):aces of public amusement than at pre- sent exist in the Metropolis. The annexed report, of Mr. Frank Mateham contains a more derailed description of the proposed buildings, the cost of wnich. completely decorated and furnished is estimated bv him at £ 100.000.

FOR WOMEN FOLK. Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. The skirt of a dress should be cut before the bodice, as there may be almost enough cuttings left from the skirt to fashion the bodice independent of the sleeves. The musty smell and taste may be removed ¡ from a metal teapot that has not been used for some time by putting in a red hot cinder I and letting it remain until it is cold. Grass stains on white materials should be rubbed with spirits of wine before the articles are touched with soap or water. If this precaution be taken, they will readily come out in the wash. To Keep Lettuce Crisp. To keep lettuce cris-p a day or longer, if I necessary, follow this plan:—Half fill a shallow basin with clear water, and set the lettuce stems down in this, putting them suffi- ciently apart so that they cannot, touch each other. No more water than just enough to cover the stoni3 should be used. Change the water daily. I To Clean a Sheepskin. Make strong suds with white soap. To each I gallon of suds add one teaspoonful of borax. dissolved in half a pint of boiling water. When the mixture is tepid, put in the rug and let it soak for half an Hour or more. Wash well, then wash in weaker suds and rinse in cold water, to which a very little soap has been added. Press out the water, and hang the rug in the shade, shaking about to soften it. Lemon Pudding. Ingredients—A quarter of a pound of short, paste, two tabtcsnooufuls of flour, one pint of milk, two ounces of butter, four ounces of castor sugar, one lemon, two eggs, lemon-chees curd, and desiccated cocoa- nut. Method—Melt the butter in a saucepan, and add by degrees the flour; when it is quite smooth stir in gradually the milk, which should be warm. and continue to stir the mix- ture until it forms a thick creamy sauce, free from any lumps. Let it get cool, then add the sugar, the grated rind of the lemon, the yolks of the egga (well beaten), the juice of the lemon, and lastly the whites of the eggs whisked to a very stiff froth. Have ready a pie dish, which has been lightly buttered and lined with a light short paste; fill it with the padding mixture and bake it at once in a moderately quick oven. When it is done, let it get cold in tHe dish; then carefully lopsen the pastry round the sides and turn it out; spread some lemon-cheese curd over the top I of the pudding, and then sprinkle it with decic- cated cocoanut. If preferred, only the edge of the dish need be covered with pastry, and in this case the pudding would be served in the dish.—" The King." I THE FAMILY DINNER, 7Suggested by the "Family Herald."] MONDAY. Ox cheek. Potatoes. Baked apple pudding. Ox Cheek.—Ingredients—One cheek, one pound of onions, carrots, turnips, a head of celery, two pints of split peas, salt and pepper. Method—Wash the cheek well, but do not soak it: put it into a stewpan with plenty of cold water and the peas. which should be soaked all night. Let it boil up slowly, skim it. and then boil for four hours. When it has been cooking about two hours add the onions, carrots, turnips, and seasoning. Dish the cheek, lay the vegetables round it—not the peas—and serve very hot. A little of the liquor can be taken out and thickened with flour and flavoured for gravy. Cost, about fourpence a pound. Baked Apple Pudding.—Ingredients—Twelve large apples, sugar, lemon-peel, a little butter, one pint of breadcrumbs, one egg. Method- Pare, core, and cut the apples in quarters, stew them with the sugar and lemon-peel untii tender, and beat them to a pulp; add the little piece of butter and the egg beaten up. Beat the pudding well for two or three minutes. Butter a piedish. line it with a I layer of crumbs, put in the apples, and cover with a thick layer of crumbs; place a small I bit of buter over the top and bake for about I half an hour. To make the top brown nicely sprinkle a little sugar over. Cost, about ten- pence.

X-COUNTRY NOTES
X-COUNTRY NOTES- Local Clubs: — Roath (Cardiff) Harriers. ADVICE ON TRAINING FOR DISTANCE RUNNERS. The Roath (Cardiff) Harriers, which enjoys the distinction of being the oldest club in Wales, was founded in 1887 by a few cross- country enthusiasts, prominent amongst them being Messrs. C. A. Dunlop, T. W. Ninnee, and -> MR. R. V. AMBROSE (Captain). I D. Hailey. For the first two seasons of it existence there was no apparent organisation but in 1839 the development of the club begar in earnest, and Mr. C. A. Dunlop was appoints the first captain, having as hon. secretary NL T. W. Ninnes. Fixtures were arranged will the district clubs, and some excellent runnei were produced. During the early nineties races were print pally held with Swansea. St. Helen's (Swanse; and St. Anne's (Cardiff. and some excitir tusscls were seen for supremacy, particular! with the Swansea clubs. In 1894 the first Wrelah cross-country char, pionship was held at Ely Racecourse, whc Roath were returned the winners, the scores, reading—Roath 25 points, Swansea 92 points, and St. Helen's (Swansea) 110 points. It may be interesting to note the first six men home for Roath on that day, viz., Hugh Fairlamb first, A. E. Turner second, R. A. Blandy third, f Bert Fairlamb fourth, A. T. Shackell fifth, and G. S. Stowe tenth. The following year the club again won the Welsh cross-country championship, beating the St. Anne's (Cardiff) Harriers, the only other entrant, by 54 points, and finishing the first six men, amongst them being R. Ambrose, the present captain of the club. In 1896, for the third time in succession, the championship was again won, only a margin of two points, however, separating the wiunera from their opponents, the Cardiff Harriers, Harry Cullum, of the latter club, being the first man home on that day. Since then Roath has never won the premier place, having to be content with second place in every case (in 1898 jointly with the Newport Harriers). III 1895 the club met the then champions of the West (Bristol Harriers) at Bristol, the latter club winning by only six points, Gulli- ver. T. Pavey, and Curtis, of Bristol, being the first three men home that day, and they were closely followed by four Roath men. In the following year, however, the tables were turned, the Roath men winning handsomely over the old East Moors course, Cardiff, by Z3 points. The inter-club races during the last few seasons have been chiefly with the Newport and Cardiff clubs. Newport, the present champions, were met for the first time in 1397 over the Llanrumney course, and were beaten by five points, but the following year at Newport the homesters had their revenge, vanning by eighteen points. The membership of the club has steadily increased since its formation, and prospects for the forthcoming season are very promising. The captain this season is Mr. R. Ambrose, who has been a. member of the club for the last eleven years. He is a very consistent runner over the country, and I believe he is .,cry popular with his men. I am pleased to be able to supply my readers with a photo- graph of Mr. Ambrose. The vice-captains are Messrs. W. H. Faccy and J. P. Mountjoy, and the energetic secretary of the club (Mr. George Stratton. of 149. Mackintosh, place, Cardiff, has been again re-elected. Since Mr. Stratton has been hon. secretary of the club he has done much to keep the club up to its old standard, and the record turn out for runs last season must be very gratifying to him. I have pleasure in also giving a reproduction of Mr. Stratum's photo herewith. j As will be seen from the list of runs for j October the season starts to-day with a paper I chase from head-quarters, and the runs will J be continued every Saturday until the end of j March, the weather under no circumstances j being considered. The headquarters are the j Royal Oak Hotel, Broadway, where practice runs are held every Tuesday and Thurs :y at eight o'clock, and occasionally during the season runs are arranged from Ely, Barry. I Llandaff, 8t. Fagan's. &c., Ac. In conclusion, I may say that I have a great j respect for the. Roath Harriers. They have kept well together when other cluba were unable to get a team for eross-conntry running (notwithstanding the membership of j some of the local clubs), and. moreover, the Roath men go into the sport simply for the love of the thing, and not for the sake of any I prizes there may be on the end of it, and I I wish them a most enjoyable season. J Next week I hope to give some particulars of the Welsh Cross Country Association, the governing body of the amateur cross-eountry i clubs of Wales. I Somewhere or other I have seen track racing described as the prose, and cross-country I running as the poetry of foot racing. The man who go33 in for cross-country running, taking fence, ditch, and ploughed fields as they come, enjoys the sensation of running pure and simple, and there is not the mono- tony that ia experienced in track running, 1 j where one runs lap after lap at a certain pace without the least variety. If a man does a good performance in a cross-country run it is not because he has a- perfect, track specially prepared or anything of that sort, but because he is a good natural runner. In cross-country running everyone has his In cross-country running everyone has his own peculiar style of progress, and aa style, &e., does not count for much (in my mind, at any rate), it is better for one to get along in the easiest and most comfortable manner they can. To be really successful, a man must use his eyes and brains, so that he can take at a glance any advantage the country over which he is running may offer. This is by no means a matter to be neglected, and especially is it found useful when running over strange ground. -Then, again, one has to face the fact that no cross-country course is in the same condition (generally speaking) for two weeks together, as a heavy rain or a few dry, frosty days will make a tremendous difference in time, and, therefore, times are practically useless as regards comparisons. In getting fit for this branch of sport, the preparation should be gradual and not forced, and no really hard work should be done for the first few weeks, but break it gently" to yourself as it were, and it will become quite an easy matter to reel off eight or ten miles. In training it will be found quite sufficient to go Qver the course once a week at about three-quarter pace, and vary this during the week with a couple of fast runs on the track or road and some sharp walking. If a team has any contest of importance )ming off they should commence a proper jurse of training fully eight weeks prior o the event, and after the second or third eck of training a club handicap or two over .he course will be found very beneficial, but -his number should not be exceeded as it is jctter' to be rather under than over trained. .llÙ if the above method of going over the ourse at three-quarter pace with track work Liid walking is done, with the couple of acing pace trials, it will be found quite sum- ient. I GEORGE STRATTON. I There is little to be said on the question of diet. Eat what you fancy (only avoid puffy foods) and eat plenty, as the work is hard, but never attempt to go" the course on II anything like a full stomach; it is better to run feeling a little hungry. A woollen jersey with long sleeves is preferable to the ordi- nary racing singlet, and a light flannel pair of drawers. As regards shoes, it is much the best to have those of the proper cross- country description with short spikes, a steel I plate in the soles, which will be found a splendid protection for the feet when running over hard ground, low heels, and it is advisable to have a strap or broad elastic; band fastening around the ankle. An old pair of pumps can easily be made to answer the purpose providing they are in any way ser- viceable. Next week I shall have something more to say on the subject, as I cannot deal further with it this week for want of space.

IWOMEN AT GOLF
I I WOMEN AT GOLF The annual tournament for the women's golf championship of the United States, which I reached its semi-final stage yesterday, has i been very full of surprises. Even the fact that the present champion, Miss Genevieve Hecker, will do battle to-day for the title with Miss Louisa Wells is in the nature of the unexpected, for Mips Heckcr has not been playing good golf lately, and it was hardly ) thought she would get as far as the finals. Misq Margaret Curtia. Miss Georgianna Bishop, who has been playing in England, Miss Bessie Anthony.eand Miss Ruth Underhill, all of whom had a strong following, were unable to reach the semi-finals. Miss Anthony, who is the Western champion, was defeated by Miss Hecker.

THE OLD NEW RULE.
THE OLD NEW RULE. Referee's Position Made More Onerous. HARRY BOWEN MORALISES ON RECENT LEGISLATION. The referee's position during the season just commenced is going to be a trifle more onerous. As far as he is concerncd, 'twere better far never to have had the rule repeated, as during the legality of the feet up in scrum he has been relieved of the harassing duty of deciding whether or not the rule has been infringed. But, however irksome the addi- I tional duty may be. it is to be hoped that the initial work in connection with it will be set upon immediately. The first matches of; the season are watched eagerly to see "how the new rule works." Both players and spectators will decide upon the utility of the new rule from the point of view of bow it affects the game, and not as to how it affects the referee. And if it be found that several referees suffer the game to go on very much as usual, with. perhaps, a half-hearted attempt to observe the re- importation, then it will place a false stamp upon the out-sending, and every additional game will be of increasing difficulty for the holder of the whistle. I do not anticipate that this laxity will be general. But it will be intensely harmful if the majority fail to act up to the spirit of the rule. There will. of course, be the action of the stronger referees to look to. There are half a dozen referees who will from the start make the rule felt. But there is the fear that the others may delay the strict application. And, unfortunately, this delay will tend to make things unpleasant for the others. The complexity of the kaleidoscope changes in the mind of the crowd during the course of an afternoon's football is simply staggering. Standing outside his keen partisanship for either team, the usual spectator has a wonder- ful reserve of innate satisfaction with him- self, a comfortable judge-like feeling. Tnis atmosphere of comfort he is willing to share with the referee, and if the said referee make any little slip in strictness they condone it by saying, "He didn't like to penalise," or perhaps, "The new rule is no good at all." This kindly feeling is present in lumps in those matches where the home team is winning easily. If my reader will take the trouble to observe the stylish finish with which the cigarette is rolled, or the easy, contemplative manner which accompanies the filling of the pipe with a bit of the best, he will realise to the full the spirit that prevails, the spirit which becomes entirely predominant with a little encouragement. The onlookers have had a hard week's work, mental or physical, and the couple of hours of Saturday after- noon's spectacular and lungular recreation is sacred. They humour then the carelessness of the decisions, and if all goes well with their team they come away with a. very wrong im- pression of the new rule. Then comes the advent of the "man of the whistle," who acts up to the rule. If he follows any particularly weak-kneed one, it is just possible that the shock of his decisions may be adversely and freely commented upon, and not always in dulcet tones. But he knows his work, and makes allowance. He is not aiming for the applause of the moment, but is after tne ultimate and final decision. When all is over, when the heat he may have generated in 8ia- positions normally inclined hag passed away, the full verdict will be in his favour. For, however wrong a crowd may strike momentarily, they will surely strike right when time is given for decision. But no trouble need be experienced initially nor finally if every man who undertake to" hold the whistle act as a, man should. And my experience of the football crowd is that when they know you know your business and that you mean to act up to that knowledge, you get along, as Uncle Sam says, as "slick as slick can be." Writing of this new rule reminds me of the introduction of the "play the ball" rule, an introduction winch took place just prior to one of the "grate fites" between Swansea and Llanelly at Swansea. The referee appointed was Mr. W. T. Morgan, of Penarth, to my mind one of the best of referees, and one who retired from active refereeing far too early. We in Llanelly were perfectly satisfied with the choice. Our only fear was the new rule. How would it be applied, or would it be applied at all? Would it not be better to postpone applying it until later? Well, the day came; both teams agreed to play under the new rule. The rules were applied thoroughly, and the effect was excellent. An object lesson in the application had been given, and that right early, and it proved a great help, both to players and spectators, in the matches of later dates. Mr. W. T. Morgan rightly deserved the praise given him at the referees' meeting called for the same evening for the purpose of the discussion of rules. Whatever the reason existing in the minds of the international board for the re-intro- duction of this rule, whether for the abolish- ing of a bad practice or, as a fellow-referee remarked, "a. smack at the Welsh style "-—I I say whatever the reason for this re-introduc- tion, all interested in football will naturally atk, Will it make the game faster or slower." Recent legislation has been aimed at in- slower." Recent legislation has been aimed at in- I creasing the pace, and the play-the-ball rule was a great means of addition of speed. At its introduction it waa prophesied that only light and fast men could stand the strain and be successful. Though this has not held good entirely, the game was undoubtedly I quickened. If weight did 'not go all together by the board, it undoubtedly had to take more care of itself, to be in better condition. if it did not desire to give an exhibition of football entirely ludicrous. Team after team of Englishmen, big and powerfully built. naturally gave sorry exhibitions on Welsh grounds as football exponents. The advan- tage given the light and quick by the rule was counter-balanced by training, and increased speed arising from self-care added to the weight—for weight will tell-of the 1 bigger men. Now whaL will the "keep your feet down" rule do? Let us suppose the initial time passed, the time of penalty kicks innumerable for breaking the rule. Let us imagine that the refereeing has been unflinching, and that ) Welsh clubs have fallen into line with English Plubs in respecting this rule. Placing on one side these deterrents the question Will the game be faster or glower?" must be answered "Slower." It will be slower at least by the amount of time required to get pos&es- sion of the ball. This will rather be in favour of the other countries. The English game of last season was the greatest advance they have accomplished since the days of the deca- dence of the North to Northern Unionism. If this advance can be maintained, with the addition of the help which the rule gives to more scrummaging, then Wales will have to work hard and in unison to maintain her present glorious position.

BOXING. The World's Championship. I Jeffries v Corbett James J. Jeffries and James J. Corbett will meet ia a battle for the championship of the world next May. Corbett made this announce- ment before taking hia departure recently for Milwaukee, where he goes to fill a theatrical engagement. "Jeffries and I have had con- siderable correspondence," eaid Corbett. "with regard to a return fight. The champion has promised to give me a chance to redeem myself for the defeat of May, 1901, and has agreed to fight me next May. Articles of agreement will be drawn up in the near future." Jeffries and Ccrbett fought for the championship before the Coney Island Athletic Club on May 11. 1901. and Corbett was knocked out in the I twenty-third round of what was to be a twenty- live round bout. In the opinion of a majority of the spectators, Corbett had much the best of the fight on points, but the champion's superior strength told, and when Corbett showed signs of fatigue in the last round Jeffries landed him the punch that put the ex- ehampio/i down for the count.

n i es', ion Indigestion Mr. Thos. King, a farm labourer, of High Cross Farm, Rogerstone, near Newpotw up to five years ago was a fine, healthy man. Speaking to a Newport interviewer on the subject, he said: "I was never thoroughly cured of the influenza, and the result was that I was always subject to painful attacks of rheumatism. The pain lodged in my right shoulder, and it was so severe that by the rime I had finished my duties at e end of the day I was entirely exhausted. When I tried to lift anything heavy the pain in the shoulder became almost unbearable, and many men, if they had suffered as mucli pain as I did, would have gone in for hospital treatment. I "When I sat down to rest a throbbing pain would seize me at the shoulder, and cause me much agony. When I went to bed at night the pain would always increase in violence, and would disturb my rest completely. Often during the night I would have to get up and rub the affected part to obtain a little ease. I tried a great many adver- tised remedies for rheumatism, but without success, and, do what I would, T couid not obtain relief. Then I read about the wonderful power of Chas. Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousness, and decided to give them a trial. "Soon after commencing with them I felt an improvement in my condition. I perse- vered with their treatment, and soon I found that I could sleep at night without being disturbed by the harassing pains. Every day I got. better as I continued with the Beans. Rheumatism with me is now a thing of the past. My remarkable recovery is due solely to Chas. Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousness." Charles Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousness are a certain cure for headache, influenza, constipation, piles, liver trouble, bad breath, rheumatism, colds, liver chills, indigestion, flatulence, dizziness, buzzing in the head, debility, anaemia, and all female ailments.

FOOTBALL GOSSIP.
FOOTBALL GOSSIP. Carmarthen. On Thursday evening, Mr. D. H. Bowen (Llanelly). and Mr. T. D. Schofield (Bridgend) attended at the Bota,r's Head Hotel. Car- marthen, to examine local candidates for places in the Union referee list. Carmarthen provided the following seven aspirants, namely. Messrs. D. J. Davies. W. J. Lewis, Lucius II. Thomas, W. G. Griffiths. D. J.Lewis, E. B. Parry, and Dan Bartlett. whilst Llanelly was represented by one candidate, Mr. Ran- dell. The result of the examination, which was oral throughout, will be made known in a few days. It is a remarkable fact that seven members of the Caimarthen football team have seen active service in South Africa. The Carmarthen -club played their first home fixture last Saturday, when they routed the Blue Stars (Llanelly) by twenty points to three. What they will do against the South Walea Training College, next Thursday, is up another avenue. The college have the mak- ings of a smart team, and which ever side proves victorious the game will certainly prove interesting, and of great service to both in acquiring form and condition.

They met Haverfordwest on Thursday on the latter's ground, and the homesters undoubtedly deserved their win of three goals to two. Car- marthen T. Johns (2). Messrs. H. Cole but several of last year's players were not included. They gave Haverfordwest a splen- did game, but the forwards kept together in too close a bunch to do much effective work, and a.t some stages of the game the team became somewhat disorganised. The scorers for Haverfordwest were P. M. James (2). and S. M. Jones (1). and for Car- marthen, Trevor Johns (2). Mesrs. H. Cole. captain of the Milford team. and Hemmand of Haverfordwest acted as referees. Last year Carmarthen boat the Little Eng- landers with a good margin on each of the two occasions upon which they met, but the latter have since been very materially strengthened by the inclusion in their ranka of J. W. Lloyd, who some years ago was inter- national goal-keeper for England, and H. E. Hitchman, who used to play for the Midland counties. Oystermouth will visit the old town next r Saturday.

TWICE REPORTED DEAD!
TWICE REPORTED DEAD! A LLWYNYPIA LADY'S SENSATIONAL CASE. DECLINE," CHEST WEAKNESS. RHEU. MATISM, AND INDIGESTION, CURED BY DR. SLATER'S TABLETS. There is an octogenarian lady at Llwyny- pia who is to-day a living example of what Dr. Slater's Blood Making Tablets can do in stubborn cases. Few residents are better known than Mrs. Mary Ann Jones, of. 8, Cwrt- terrace. She it is whom the medicine pulled: through a dangerous and complicated ill- ness. Tnesfe are her own words to a. Cardiff reporter:- My illness came on with my advance of years, for I am now 84. My strength and vitality seemed to decline, and in a while I was too weak to do anything. I could eati nothing without indigestion. Sometimes fits ot giddiness-seized me, my eight eeemed blurred, rheumatic pains shot through my limbs, and my chest hurt me so much that I feared I should smother. My agony was increased by shocking headaches, which seemed at times like something hammering on top of my head. Eventually I grew so weak and wasted that I could not even raise my arm, and a professional nurse had to remain with me a month. Sometimes my hearing failed me, and I was made so hoarse by a bronchial cough that I lost my voice. Several doctors gave me up. They told me my blood was all turning to water, and. in view of my great age. could hold out little or no hope. Day by day, week by week, my strength seemed to be ebbing away. It even got about twice that I was dead At any rate. I know I would sooner die than have to suffer agaia as I did then." When did your condition change for the better?"—"Well," was the reply, "a neighbour who used to come in to read to me one day picked up a book describing some remarkable cures by Dr. Slater's Blood Making Tablets. She read it aloud from cover to cover, and I made up my mind to try that medicine, feel- ing that it might afford me some relief, and possibly bring me back to health. I was not so sanguine about that, fearing that my case was too far gone for really successful treat- ment." "And what were the first. results?"—" Well, very small—in fact, I was even surprised at the Tablets relieving me at all. It convinced me that I had found a really powerful medi- cine at last. So I determined to persevere and take the doses exactly as the directions ordered. In a couple of weeks I was clearly regaining my strength, and felt better of myself. I took my food and found good came instead of the pains of indigestion. I was less troubled with the cough, and my chest scarcely pained me at all. The general debility was slowly, but surely, turned out from my system, as the result of the rich, warm blood created in my veins." "And your health to-day?"—" Is better than anything I have experienced for years," rejoined Mrs. Jones. "The distressing symp- toms I had before are gone altogether. I have regained the strength of limb and body, my blood is purified and enriched, and my nerves thoroughly re-strengthened." Do you really attribute this to Dr. Slater's Tablets?" To Dr. Slater's Blood Tablets and no other," was the emphatic reply. Though I spent a lot of money on other preparations, none did me anything like the good those wonderful Tablets have done, and I think my cure is conclusive proof of their power. One doctor who has seen me since my recovery said I had practically been raised from death to life." Old and young are benefited by Dr. Slater's Blood Making Tablets, which can be recom- mended for debility in all forms, ansemia, bloodless and sallow complexions, chest weak- ness, bronchitis, the early stages of consump. tion, all female ailments, indigestion, palpi- tation, heart-weakness, nervousness, heasd- ache, insomnia, decline," rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, sciatica, paralysis. looomotor ataxia, and St. Vitus' dance.
