Mountain Ash Education Committee. On Tuesday, Mr. W. Davies in the chair. The other members present were: Mrs. Owen Jones, Messrs. R. Parsons, Hugh Price, J. Powell, J. P. Davies, Evan Morris, W. Fen wick, J. Charles, E. V. Tidman, D. Rogers, Thos. Jones, J.P., W, S. Davies, T. W. Jones, with Mr. Alfred Morgan (director). FINANCE COMMITTEE. The Fin- ance Committee recommended that Miss Mason and Miss Walker, uncertificated teachers, be given £ o a year increase, and the maximum raised from £6:l 10s. to 4,65. The Chairman moved, and Mrs. Owen Jones seconded the adoption of the Toport-Mr. J. Powell sugge.sted that the finance reports be submitted,to members prior to the meeting.—This was agreed to.—Mr. Thos. Jones said that members of the Finance Committee ought to see that the proper discounts be deducted from the accounts passed. Some firms allowed 2-J per cent., others 5 or 10 per cent. It was the duty of the committee to see to this, and thus save a consider- able amount. HANDY MAN—The same committee recommended that they do not appoint a carpenter to execute odd jobs at school buildings.—Mr. J. Charles' asked why the committee had arrived at that de- cision P—The Chairman replied that the work included masonry, carpentry, painting, etc., and no carpenter would be able to do all these. It would be easier for a contractor to find men.—Mr. Par- sons: In Aberdare they have a handy man who performs all kind of work.—The meeting oonfirmed the Finance Com- mittee's recommendation. NO UNDERCUTTING. The Associ- ation of Registered Medical Women wrote of a meeting held by them when it was resolved that women practitioners should not receive lower salaries than those paid to men. When women had the identical work that men had to perform, whether under municipal authorities or other bodies, the same amount should be paid. The same should apply in cases when women inspectors were employed under Councils. Women were not anxious" to undercut men, and the Association hoped that Local Authorities would not encour- age this by offering lower salaries to women where women inspectors were more suitable than men. Mr. T. 1Y. Jones: I propose that the letter be re- ferred to the suffragettes. (Laughter.)— On the motion of Mr. Tidman, the letter was laid one side until the committee would have occasion to make appoint- ments.. STATE OF PLAYGROUND. — Mr. j Mather and Miss Dyer, Ynysboetli ] School, requested the committee to at- i tend to the playground, which was in a i dreadful state.—Mr. T. Jones .moved, and Mr. W. Fen wick seconded, that the work ( be attended to.—Mr. J. Powell said that Pengeulan playground required atten- tion, and it was agreed to see to it.—Mr. i E. Morria moved that the Architect be asked to .visit the playgrounds of the schools, and this also was agreed to.-It 1 was decided to take proceedings against a lad who was alleged to have thrown stones into Ynysboeth playground. CLOCK, AUDITOR, AND PROVI- < DENCE.-The Director said he was in 1 receipt of two invoices from jewellers for { attending to clocks in schools. He wished to point out that there was a contract i with Mr. W. C. Davies, jeweller, to re- t pair all clocks, for a lump sum of e- per i annum. If the two accounts sent in j would be discharged, the committee would ] be paying twice for the same work.—Mr. i E. Morris moved that a vote of censure ] be passed on the members who had signed f the order.—Rev. E. V. Tidman said that 1 the fault was the head teachers', who J had been told of the contract with Mr. r W. C. Davies.—Mr W. Fenwick said that \< the members ought to have been furn- ished with a list of existing contracts.— Mr. J. Powell said it was impossible for d the Director to think of everything. It a was the duty of rarembers to ascertain a their work.—Mr W. Fenwick pointed out J that one account of a like nature had al- h ready been paid. In the face of that it I was natural for him to sign a note for p the attendance of a clock-maker.—Direc- T tor: It is true that one account has been v paid. When the auditor came to the I V item lie, was providentially attracted to p something else at the time.—Mr. T. W. a Jones: Well, I move that these two ac- d counts be paid, and trust to Providence 01 to attract the auditor's attentiojvto some- thing else again. (Laughter.)—A motion D that the amounts be not now paid was tc carried.—Mr. T. W. Jones moved that the school managers be given a list of H existing contracts in connection with the in schools, so that they might know what H. to do.—This motion was agreed to. of APPLICATION.—Mrs. Daniel, cleaner ar of the Cookery Sohool, asked to have her tii wages of 16s. per month increased.—On pe the motion of Mr. Powell, the applica- th tion wa" deferred for three months. Ja MEASLES.—Mr. W. S. Davies said he ag observed that Newtown School had been th< reopened on Monday. He wished to cat point out that measles was still prevalent we in the district, apd he questioned 1 cor whether it was wise to open that school j as under such circumstances.—Mr. T. Jones cal moved that the medical officer"- attention be called to it, and this was passed. VARIOUS.—The Auditor's report was referred to a special committee.—A copy of a circular to be sent to parents for payment of money expended by the com- mittee in feeding the children, was drafted by the Director and approved of by thQ meeting.—The question of making an appeal for funds to provide meals for hungry school-children, was deferred.— The Chairman said that the committee had been called together last Friday afternoon, "to consider the future in- struction of the pupil teachers of this dis- trict," etc. He pointed out that only six members attended, which did not form a quori-im.-It was decided to hold another meeting.

Home Evidence Rings True. ANOTHER ABERDARE WOMAN. Another Aberdare woman tells us to- day a remarkable experience, thus adding yet one more convincing piece of home evidence to the many already printed in these columns. That we can test the truth of home evidence, such as this, makes it far more valuable than testi- mony which comes from those who live far away. Mrs G. Phillips, 29, Bond street, Aberdare, says: For some years I was a great sufferer with sharp, shooting pains in my back they were so bad at times that I baretly knew what to do. When getting up after stooping such a severe pain caught me that it fairly took my breath away. In the mornings I could scarcely dress myself, and my limbs ached very much. There were also serious urinary disorders "I heard of Doan's backache kidney pills, and I made up my mind to see whether they would do me good, and I was not disappointed, for when I had taken only half a box I felt a lot better. This encouraged me to go on using the pills, and now I feel in good health—bet- | ter than I have been for years. I can truly recommend Doan's pills to all who suffer as I did. (Signed) Grace Phillips. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence).

Evans, pumpsman at Penrhiw- ceiber Colliery, was summoned for a breach of colliery rules. Mr. C. Kenshole appeared for the Co., and Mr. A. T. James defended. Mr. Kenshole said that the officials had had their attention at- tracted to the increase of the water. t which affected the ventilation. A fire- man was sent to pay a surprise visit to Evans, and he was caught sleeping. He admitted then that he had slept, but Later on denied.—Watkin Watkins, a irernan, said that defendant had a feed- bag under his head when sleeping.—Dd.

CIVIL WAR AT ABERCYNON. — .anan Foster, a married woman resid- 19 at Abercynon, was summoned by Hy. k older for assault. There were a series other summonses' and cross-summonses •ising from the same quarrel bv rela- ves of Foster and Holder. The Sti- ,ndi,try suggested at the outset that all e parties be bound over. Mr. A. T. ,mes, who appeared for the Fosters, reed, but Mr. R. Edwards James, for e Holders, wanted to proceed with the ses. He maintained that the other side .re the aggressors..

Aberdare Free Church- sraen. A meeting of Free Churchmen was held at Bethania C.M. Chapel, Aberdare, on Tuesday. The Rev. R. Williams, Nazar- eth, presided over a large attendance of local ministers and laymen. Mr. G. A. H. Price, Penarth, the secretary of the S nth Wales Federation of Free Church Councils, attended. The Rev. J. Tudor, B.A., Soar, was appointed secretary pro. tern. Mr. Price explained the object of the meeting, viz., to re-form, if possi- ble, the now defunct Free Church Coun- cils in Aberdare, and Aberaman. Mr. Price explained in detail the aims and objects of the Free. Church Federation. It was contemplated to arrange a series of lectures on appropriate subjects, united prayer meetings, and united missions—evangelistic and gospel tem- perance. It was intended to hold a great Convention in the Mountain Ash Pavil- ion in May. Mr. Price referred in glow- ing terms to the good work done by Free Church Councils in various districts, The speaker referred to the question of Sun- day Observance. Proceedings had been taken in some quarters against shop- keepers who opened their establishments on Sunday, but the small fine of 5s. was of no avail, and something should be done to amend legislation in the matter. Again they should do something towards suppressing gambling, especially amongst women and children, and towards the re- duction of licenses. The Federation was for having a good representation of Non- conformists on public bodies. Also the removal of friendly societies from the' environment of the pub- lic house and agitation in favour of Licensing Legislation by the present Government. The speaker also spoke in favour of establishing a Free Church Guild for Girls. All Councils should also establish social institutes for young people. They could not expect young people to be content with prayer meetings only. They must have recre- ation, and it rested with the churches to take this matter in hand. He wished to repudiate the allegation that the Free Church Federation was a political move- ment. Let them put principle before party, conscience before gain, and God before all things.—Mr. R. H. Miles asked whether there was anything in the consti- tution of the Free Church Councils, which debarred Baptists from joining. Mr. Price answered in the negative. Mr. Miles thereupon asked whether Unitar- ians were excluded.—Mr. Price replied tha,t the Council was Evangelical, and no Unitarians were included in any of p- the Free Church Councils. —\ Mr. E. Thomas (Cochfarf) said that Wales's great need was a better understanding between the various Nonconformist bodies. To bring about that desired con- summation he knew of no better medium than the Federation of Free. Churches.— The meeting was adjourned until the evening. In the interval the Rev. H. Elvet Lewis preached a most appropriate and im- piessive sermon.—At the adjourned con- ference the Rev. H. P. Jenkins, Saxon, suggested that they form a Federation of Free Churches in the district. Later on Mr. Jenkins moved that it should take the form of a Free Church Council.—Mr. D. M. Richards said that he would not move an amendment, but he wished to say that if they carried such a resolution ,I.ieii, Federation would overlap the Tre- 3vnon Nonconformist League. Besides, :hey would not have the co-operation of iither Baptists or Unitarians. He woJild suggest that they defer the consideration )f the nature of the organisation to a i uture meeting. In reply to a. question ;he Rev. Cynog Williams, secretary of ;he Trecynon Nonconformist League, said that both Baptists and Unitarians vere included in that League. Mr. Wil- iams asked whether New Theologians vere permitted to join the Free Church Councils. He would prefer co-operating vith Unitarians to working with those.- Eventually it was carried that a Free Church Council be formed.-In the even- ng a public meeting was held, under the presidency of Cochfarf. The Rev. T. 'homas, Godreaman, opened the meeting u prayer. The president explained that he chief aim of the movement was piritual and not political. The mission f the Free Church Council Federation •"as to make us better workers in the ineyard of Christ. The South Wales ederation represented about 900 churches nd about 100,000 church members. To take the Free Church Federation a sue- 3ss each one should resolve to be a j iissionary for Christ. Referring to 3cialism, the speaker said that if the lurches neglected their work the forces •om without would force them to their ] uties. Personally, there was enough i )cialism for him in the Old Book.—The i ev. J. Glyn Davies, Newport, said he as glad to be present at the restart of Free Church Council at Aberdare. t hey were on the threshold of a critical I •riod. Nonconformity was about to be sted. The forces of morality were to be verely tried. The Church of England is waking up, the drink traffic was iking up, and so were gambling and idlordism. In Wales the great obstacle I is sectarianism. Let them be. not ptists, Congregationalists, Calvinists, Wesleyans, but Free Churchmen. Let em make the Free Church Council an ■esistible force in Aberdare. In these

days the, people were corning to their rights. He was proud to stand before them as a democrat. But he shuddered to think of the reins of government getting into the hand* of an unevangel- ised democracy. Let them take the Gos- pel out among the. people, and Christian- ise the democracy. Nonconformity was especially suitable for that. Episcopacy made no appeal to the man in the street. Mr. Davies concluded with a fervid ap- peal to his hearers to develop Christian zeal and to translate it into practice. —The Rev. H. Elvet Lewis deplored the fact that it was muck more difficult to bring the Free Churches together in Vt ales than in England. Let them all contribute their quota of service to a general treasury. Let the Free Church Council in Aberdare be. worthy of the history and traditions of the town. Let the churches jein forces to work for purity. Whatever teree made for purity, be it the I.L.P. or any other party, he was with it. Referring to the Temper- ance question, tli-e speaker said that un- less the heart of the; nation was equal to the principle of Parliamentary legis- lation, our laws would be so many grave- °i- e"->. Let the, different denominations forget all smalldiffer,ences and make one united effort for Christ and His Gospel. —On the motion of the Rev. R. Williams, Nazareth, seconded by the Rev. J. Grif- fiths, Calfaria, a vote of thanks to the Revs. Elvet Lewis, Glyn Davies, and Cochfurf was passed.

Three who have Suffered. "\V 0 do not think we could put before you any more convincing evidence of the truth of our claims for Dr. Sloan's Lin- iment than the three ietters herewith, written by people who have been relieved by this wonderful pain-killer. I am very pleased to inform you of the great benefit I have derived from the use of Dr. Sloan's Liniment for neuralgia, and also for sprains. I have tried many kinds of remedies for neuralgia, but Dr. Sloan's Idnimenb is by far the -most powerful and quics in action of any I know. From Mr. James Howard, of 123, Moorbey-street, Glodwick, Oldham. I must thank you for the relief Dr. Sloan's Liniment has afforded me. I used it for rheumatism of the knee and for stiff muscles, and in both cas^s found great renef. I shall recommend it to my fubiicis. From Mr. C. Finney, of 310, Highgate-road Sparkhrook. Bir- mingham. t or some time I have been intend- ing writing to tell you what benefit I derived by Dr. Sloan's Liniment. I had | beer., suffering from muscular rheumat- ism in the right shoulder. I am very glad to say that after rubbing it three times only with the liniment the pain and swelling have entirely disappeared. From Mr. James Baxter, of 10, Gram- pian-street, Belfast. No matter what kind of pain you may have, the beneficial effect of Dr. Sloan's Liniment is immediate. You lay it freely and lightly on-no rubbing whatever— and at once a pleasant warmth is felt as the liniment percolates through the skin, driving the pain away with a promptness which must be actually experienced to be belived.. You should get a bottle of Dr. Sloan's Liniment to-day, whether you have need of it at the moment-or not. It is sold in shilling bottles by all chemists. A copy of Dr. Earl S. Sloan's new brochure on the cause and removal of all kinds of pain—one of the most interesting little books ever printed—may be had free from the wholesale depot: 32, Snow-hill, London, E C.

-im!- .á>. Unitarian's reply to Free Churchmen, At" Highland Place Church, Aberdare, on Tuesday evening, Rev. T. P. Spedding' Rochdale, the conductor cf the Unitarian Van Mission, held a special mission ser- vice. The introductory part of the ser- vice was taken by Rev. M. Evans, pastor. Mr. Spedding, in the course of his ad- dress, referred to the conference of Aber- dare Free Churchmen held that day, when the question was asked whether Baptists were eligible to join. After some discussion and a little indecision it was agreed that they were eligible. But when the question was put as to whether Unitarians' were entitled to join, there was no hesitation whatever. Unitarians were outside: the pale—Unitarians were not evangelical, and the Holy Ghost never came to them. Well, it did not matter. They could "tflncl outside, and do their little best, as disciples of the Master, according to the grace that had been given them. He wished the Free Church Council well, but he was anxious to join the Christian Churches together. They were not too strong, even when united, to meet the forces of evil. When all churches combined their forces there would be an end for ever to dis- cussions of theology. Keep the Unitar- ians out because they are not evangelical ? Keep them out, then! Unitarians would keep closer together, and according to their strengtn they v/oukl themselves deal with the social problems that faced them. They would not utter a word against the Free Church Council, but they would stand on their own. Unitar- ians were proceeding along- lines of com- mon sense and reverence. It was verv little use having a faith or creed that they could not understand. They were living only according to things that they understood, speaking in general terms, they invited the spirit of truth, which :hrist had prayed for. The spirit of :ruth was not confined to one church. It rvas for the churches to spread that ;Pirit. The churches that did not do his ought to be shut up, they were cum- bering the ground, and denying the very hing they were. supyesed to believe in. :t was said that Unitarianism did not .ppeal to the emotions. He would not clmit this. It did appeal, 'but it did not lander to the emotions. It did not seek o draw the tear, hut to wipe the tear way. It did not want to soothe the erves, but to brace them uu. 1 i

HIS, PAIN LEFT HIM. HE THANKS GOD FOR THE VIBRATOR." There is something extremely pitiful in the sight of a strong man brought al- most to the condition of a suffering child by the terrible pains of Chronic Sciatica, scarce able to move one leg before the other, because of the pain. he is suffering. It-is only a few days since Mr. W. Reeoe, of 37, Pontycapel-road, Cefncoed, came into the British Vibrator" Consulting Rooms in that condition, and after re- ceiving a few iainute4 treatment, and being told to walk across the room, found to his great surprise he could do> so—not only walk—but wa"lk without pain, and his grateful words were, I have lost my pain; thank God for the 'Vibrator,' it is the only thing which has ever given me relief/

MADAME CLARA N. DAVIES, LLWYN-YR-EOS, CARDIFF, Writes:—"No house should be with- out the British Vibrator. It builds one up, and puts new life into the whole body. It is a wonderful inventio-ii-a common-sense treatment for diseases, c and if sufferers only knew half its possi- bilities they would have it at any cost. For my part I cannot say too much for what it has done for me."

EXTRACT FROM THE NEWPORT ARGUS." The "British Vibrator," or, as it has been humorously called, the little "steel doctor," is now carrying on its campaign against disease at Corporation-road. Patients testify that diseases of all kinds have been successfully treated, including cases of neurasthenia, insomnia,, asthma, stomach troubles, rheumatism, gout, sci- atica, heart disease, deafness, etc. Many exceptionally wonderful cures are men- tioned among them that of Mrs. Phillips, of the Fox and Hounds Inn, Risca, who was driven in a carriage to the doors of the consulting rooms, and carried in. For iive years she had been suffering from chronic rheumatism over the whole of her body, crippled in every limb and joint, it being one of the duties of her son to carry her from her bed in the morning, and back to her bed at night. For the space of, say, eight or ten min- utes, the vibrator was applied to her on all the affected parts, and at the end of that time, to the astonishment of her son, and coachman, the lady walked out to the j carriage alone, and without assistance, declaring she suffered no pain. The mention of such a case, among many, should induce sufferers during the short time the free treatments and consulta- tions continue, to try the little" steel doctor."

MRS. SARAH PHILLIPS' TESTIMONY "I am now cured and free from pain." ,< January 20th, 1908. Dear Dr. Macaura,— I have much pleasure in certifying to 7ou that the treatment and benefit which t [ have received from "The British I Vibrator is really beyond my expecta- s ;ion. I can safely say, judging by my own t ssperience as a cripple to Chronic Rheu- e natism, that if all who suffer from the I :ame disease would try and avail them- n ielves of an opportunity of a free treat- p nent of the Vibrator, and purchase the s ittle Steel Doctor," they can cure n hemselves, as I have done. li I was a cripple for 5 years, unable to a ralk, or get up out of my chair, or even, A meh myself. But since I have been ai reating myself with the "Vibrator," I 01 can do all for myself, even walk to bed, which I could not do before. It is the greatest blessing I have had for years, and I am now completely free from pain. Yours sincerely, with thanks, MRS. SARAH PHILLIPS. Fox and Hounds Inn, Risca.

HER HEARING RESTORED. Miss Gladys Francis, of Aber-CIydach, who had suffered from deafness for years received a short treatment by the Vibrator at the Albert Hall, Swansea, and in a very few minutes had hearing xeetoied. She has since been using the machine herself, and the improvement made at the Albert Hall has become a permanent cure. She now rejoices at being able to hear others converse and fco cany on a conversation man ordin- M- «°f;She gratefully ac- i jowledgea that ihis is entirely due to nrm-.Ur British Vibrator," and considers no word of praise too great in speaking of this little machine as a cure for deafness, as well as manv other dis- eases.

MANY YEARS OF SUFFERING ENDED. Mr. James Foote, of 4, Cannon-street -Newport, for many years a sufferer from bciatica, and whose left leg was useless has been treated at the Consulting Rooms of the little" steel doctor," and is now cured of his pain and able to use his leg quite freely. He declares the treatment he has received there is the tbiy WhfS /i-0m ZMch lie has obtained Swn I Smoe he wa6 first at- tacked by his disease.

Rudledge, a well-known Swan- sea pilot, of 8, Cambrian-place, Swansea, v, 10 has been suffering from rheumatic ?out for seven years, makes the follow- mg statement: ''The Vibration treat- ment is wonderful I never-saw anything in all my life that works so quickly on the rheumatic joints. The first annlicf tion or u I had penetrated clear through my limbs, and actually shook th.T,u matism out of my muScit° and^oSitT It put new life into me on the sJ I could feel the blood circulating where there seemed to be no lifp K,,f «° utes before.

James, he said he was a furniture re- mover. He had been aceused' by Foster with having been instrumental in bring- ing about his discharge from the employ of Mr. Green, 'T.V.R. carrier. There was no truth in this. On Wednesday, Jan. 8th, E. George Evans came to his door and pulled him out, and struck him. Mrs. Foster and her husband and other members of the family appeared on the scene, and a general fight ensued. The fight took place in William-street, where all the parties lived. Mrs. Foster had a stone in her hand, and punched him on the shoulder and the head. Dr. Morris had to place two stitches in his head after Mrs. Foster had cut it open with the stone. Mr. and Mrs. Foster were drunk at he time. So was Evans. He (witness) was perfectly sober, having only just come from work.—Stipendiary: Then you had the advantage of them. (Laughter.)—Questioned by Mr. A. T.

It will be observed that the great num- bers attending the Free Consultations and Treatment at the Consulting Rooms at Bentley's Hotel, have rendered it ne- cessary to remove to larger rooms, as more accommodation is required for those who have to wait for attention and treatment.

Nothing comes amiss to it—Deafness, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Paralysis, etc., etc. The cures effected by it are complete and permanent, as the following testimony of those who have made use of this remarkable little Steel Doctor will prove —
