Suffragette Methods Copied.
Suffragette Methods Copied. A. H. Griffiths, relieving officer for the Aberaman District, wrote stating that a person called at his house the other day when he was out, and asked for a ticket of admission to the Workhouse. On being told that he (Mr. Griffiths) was not at home the man broke several panes in the window, value 5s. 6d. father O'Reilly: A suffragette in dis- guise, evidently. (Laughter.) The Guardians took no action.

IlIegitima te Children
IlIegitima te Children Mrs. Richards, prior to moving the following resolutions which were down in her name, thanked the Board for the motion of sympathy which they passed t the last meeting. She was pleased to say that Mr. Richards was shgntiy better. (Hear, hear.) The resolutions she wished to move were as follows, and she believed they would act as a great deterrent, it a(lopte(t:- "That this Board of Guardians strongly urges upon the Government to take steps to amend the Bastardy Laws as follows: That proceedings may be taken by the mother, or the Guardians, to obtain an order against the nutative father of any bastard child horn in a Workhouse to pay the cost of confinement and to contribute towards the mother's support during the whole period of her residence in li- the Workhouse, both before and after the birth of the child. That an order obtained by the Guardians for the maintenance of a bastard child under the Bastardy Laws Amendment Act, 1873, within 12 months after the birth of a child, may be transferred by the Justices into the name of the mother of the child. That in the event of the death of the mother, or in cases where her evidence cannot be ob- tained, the Justices shall have power. on the application of the Guardians and on proof, to make an order on the putative father to contribute to- wards the child's maintenance when chargeable to a Union. That the Guardians shall have power to detain for a period of six months any woman who shall give birth to more than two illegitimate children in a Workhouse. That copies of this resolution be sent to the Prime Minister, the Local Government Board, and the local Members of Parliament." Mrs; AVilliams seconded, and added that there were some women in the Workhouse with their fourth illegitim- ate child. She was firmly of opinion that the fathers of illegitimate children should be made equally responsible with the mother. In Germany fathers were held responsible as long as their illegi- timate children lived. She saw no reason why the father of an illegitimate child should not be held responsible just like the father of a legitimate child. They might not be able to make people moral by Act of Parliament, but at any rate they could set deterrents by making parents hear the consequences of their sin. Mr. T. T. Jenkins said he thoroughly agreed with Mrs. Richards' resolution. He believed that Acts of Parliament could help people to become moral. He was glad that the ladies were taking this matter up, and he would like to see them in a position to be a greater power in this country. He was sorry at what happened in the House of Com- mons the other day. Mr Prowle: No politics. (Laughter.) Mrs. Richards' motions were unani- molisly agreed to.

Ambulance at Aberaman. i
Ambulance at Aberaman. On Saturday last a tea and presenta- tion meeting was held at the Aberaman Schools under the auspices of the Aber- aman and Powell Duffryn Ambulance Classes, to present successful students with certificates, vouchers, medallions and labels gained by them at the last examination. Among the large number present were Dr. Glyn Jones (the am- bulance teacher), Mrs. Dr. Glyn Jones, Mr. G. Budge, the managing director of the P.D. Co. fr. T. L. Davies, M.E., C.C.; Mr. Martin, head mechanical engineer; Dr. Ross, Cwm- amau, and Mr. W. R. Williams, B.Sc. The certificates and prizes were present- led to the students by Mrs. T. L. Davies, Miss Martin, Mrs. H..1. Morris, and Mrs. W. H. Morris. After an excellent tea had been par- taken of, a short meeting was held to present the certificates. The Chairman (Mr. Martin) in a few brief remarks spoke very highly of the Ambulance Class, and expressed his great willing- ness at all times to do all in his power to assist it. Mr. W. R. Williams referred to the earnestness with which the class had always taken up the subject, and paid a high tribute to Dr. Jones upon his students success. Councillor T. L. Davies expressed his delight at seeing so many young men utilising their time in such useful work. HL mentioned the case of a young man who had been injured at his colliery, whose accident was so severe that he would have died were it not for the assistance lie obtained from a member of the Aberaman Ambulance Class. There is something altruistic in Am- bulance, because what they did was for the sake of others. He agreed with the chairman that the formation of an Ambulance Brigade would be a great ac- quisition to the district. Mr. Budge spoke in a similar strain, remarking that it was gratifying to note that in Aberaman the requirements of the Home Office had been more than complied with for many years. The following artistes took part:— Pianoforte solo, Miss Aunie Dando; humorous recitation, Mr. W. H. Wil- liams (encored); song. Mr. Emrys James; stump speech, Mr. W. H. Morris; baritone solo, Jr. D. J. Mor- s gan; mandoline solo, Mr. George Bil- steii. The Ambulance Classes presented Dr. Jones with a valuable present as an ap- preciation of his good services. The following were winners of prizes given by Dr. Jones to students of 3rd year and upwards: 1st prize, J. Gran- ger; 2nd, Emrys James; 3rd, W. H. Morris. 2nd year: 1st prize, H. J. Morris;- 2nd, W. S. James; 3rd, H. Scribbins. The prizes given by Dr. Hoss, Cwm- aman, and Mr. Martin were captured by Gomer Davies, D. Meredith, and S. J. Haven (the latter was given by Mr. Martin for best attendance). 1st year certificates: Sidney Shep- pard, Ernest Stubbs, D. J. Williams, J. J Jones, B. Maund, James. Owen, A. Barnett, and P. Carrol. Vouchers: D. Meredith and Jonathan Jeffries. Labels: W. H. Morris, J. Granger, E. James, Gomer Davies. and G. H. Maund.

Safety in Mines.
Safety in Mines. Colliery Examiners' Conference. The annual conference of the General Federation of Colliery Deputies, Ex- aminers, and Firemen's Associations of Great Britain was held in the Park Hotel, Cardiff, on Friday and Satur- day, Jan. 24 and 25, when representa- tives from every coalfield in the United Kingdom were in attendance. At the first meeting on Friday, in the absence of the'President, Mr. W. Johnson, of Northumberland (who arrived later in the evening), the chair was occupied by the Vice-President, Mr. J. W alters, Derbyshire. The matter under discussion at this meeting was the draft of the New Re- gulations recently issued by the Home Office. A draft of regulations apper- taining to the duties of Colliery Fire- men had previously been submitted to the Council of this Federation for ap- proval, and on October o the Executive Council met the Government Officials in the Home Office in a round table conference, the only representative for the South Wales Coalfield being Mr. Tom Morgan, Aberdare, Organiser for the South Wales and Mon. Colliery Ex- aminers' Association. As a result of that meeting the New JJrart now under consideration was slightly altered. The general feeling at the meeting was that whatever duty was to be en- forced upon the fireman it would lie gladly welcomed if it had any tendency to increase safety in the mine, and no reasonable labour would be shirked which tended in any way to minimise accidents. On Saturday, at 10 a.m.. Mr. Wm. Johnson. Durham, presided. An ad- dress of welcome to the visitors on be- half of the South Wales and Mon. Ex- aminers' Association hy their president, Mr. John Williams, Aberdare, followed the able opening speech by Mr. John- son. Mr. Williams felt glad to receive with open arms men from Scotland, 'the X.K. and N.W. of England, the JidlHlld, and North Wales to Cardiff for the first time to join tjiem in con- ference. men who aimed at cultivating a spirit of brotherhood, fostering min- ing education, and adopting the best means of securing good discipline in mines, and minimising mine accidents. The following officers for the ensuing year were appointed: President, Mr. Joseph Walters, Derbyshire; vice-presi- dent, Mr. John Lewis, Maerdy; treas- urer, Mr. John Lee, Ashton in Maker- field, Lancashire, was re-elected; secre- tary, re-elected, Mr. Edward Williams, Wrexham auditors, Messrs. Peter Der- byshire, Wigan, and Tom Morgan, Cwmaman, Aberdare. A banquet followed the morning's conference, presided over by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff (Aid. Morgan Thomas). There were also present Messrs. A. B. Badger, M.A., B.Sc., Director of Education (Monmouth- shire); T. A. Southern, Principal of the Universal Mining School; Colonel A Pearson, H.M. Inspector of Mines; W. Waplington, M.E., Hon. Secretary of the Monmouthshire Colliery Officials' Association W. Thomas, M.I.M.E., Principal of the Cambrian Mining School; Henry Davies, M.I.M.E., Direc- tor of Mining Education for the Gla- morgan County Council. The new !v elected president, Mr. Joseph Walters, tendered thanks to the South Wales members on behalf of his Executive Council and himself for the welcome and hospitality they had re- .I ceived. The Lord Ma vor felt exceptionally I pleased on behalf of himself and his Corporation to welcome the guests that day to the City. He felt that he was in to accept the invitation to the luncheon, for Cardiff owed its greatness to the Coal Industry. The firemen were undoubtedly the most im- portant section of men in the coal in- dustry. for they were the guardians of the mine and held the lives of the miners in their hands as it were. (Cheers.) Mr. Badger thanked the Council for having invited him to the luncheon. It pleased him always to join men who strove to foster mining education. Mr. T. A. Southefl^ in a lengthy speech, wished every success to the Firemen's Associations, and complained of legislation and other forces from the. Home Office which tended to pre- vent the chances of colliery working men to qualify themselves for the Mine Managership and the Inspectorate. He thought it was time this Association and others tried to suppress this unfairness. It should be a fair field and no favour. Col. Pearson did not see eye to eye with Mr. Southern. He thought the Home Office was very fair. Mining education was advancing very rapidly, and it was only right that the Home Office Authorities should put the stand- ard of requirements for the posts of managers and inspectors high enough to keep pace with the 3go so as to secure the best possible men to qualify for these posts. When appointments were made for the last inspectorates the majority of them were Mr. Southern's pupils, and some of those were working- men. and he was glad of that. Mr. W. Waplington spoke highly of the tirenien of Monmouthshire and South Wales. He found it difficult to get good firemen. He had no doubt that the employers were prepared to give increased wages to good men., Mr. Wm. Thomas, Principal of the Cambrian Mining School, also thought it was time for the firemen, inasmuch as new legislation had brought on in- creased responsibilities to go in for an advance in wages. 11 _.œ=.1. .Mr. HY. Vanes dealt, very cueunvei* on the capabilities of the men who were so well represented at the meeting, and stated that legislation made no differ- ence in a sense to the firemen of Gla- morgan. The examination which tliey had "now to go through was nothing for them; they had previously equipped themselves bv means of the Classes un- der the auspices of the County Council. Mr. S. Coulthard, of Newcastle-on- Tvne. said that, although that meeting was not for the purpose of trying to bring ahout extra remuneration for the examiners, the employers ought to see that after all the increased responsibili- ties imposed upon the firemen an extra pav was due. Vlr James Rosser, Wattstown, sang "The Laud of My Fathers" to close the meeting.. The whole arrangements were in the capable hands of Mr. D. G. Price, Tvlorstown, Secretary of the South Wales Examiners' Association. 1

Working House Mother.
Working House Mother. The examination for the post of Working House Mother was held at the Training School, Aberdare, 011 Thurs- day Jan. 30th. There were six candi- dates, and five of them failed to pass th" medical inspection. The 6th passed both the medical examination and the committee's test. This was Miss Jen- nings, Herbert Street, Aberdare, and jshe^was appointed. Mr. Ogwen Williams called attention to the system which prevailed regard- ing such appointments. According to tli >• advertisement all the applicants were to come to Aberdare to submit themselves to a test. It might happen that a very large number of applications would be sent in, and the expense would be very great to pay the fares of, say, 20 or :30 from various parts of the country. Chairman: You had better give a notice of motion, Mr. Williams. Mr. Ogwen Williams: Very well, I will.
The Catholic Cottage Home.
The Catholic Cottage Home. Mr. D. P. J ones, Aberdare, wrote Mging the Guardians to complete the pi rchase of his house in Glanant St., which had been bought for the purpose of a Roman Catholic Cottage Home. The Clerk said he was awaiting the sanction of the L.G.B.
Officer's Salary.
Officer's Salary. At the Children's Homes Committee a letter was read from Dr. Bromilow, Medical Officer of the Cwmbach Cot- tage Homes, applying for an increase of salary. The committee recommended an increase of £ 5 (from £f5 to £10) per annum, the medical officer to provide all medicine, lotions, and ointments necessary. The recommendation was adopted.
Industrial Farm, Trecynon.
Industrial Farm, Trecynon. The Guardians have already decided to take over the above farm, and ap- point a farm bailiff. fr. W. Whiting, the present occupier, now wrote claim- ing compensation, in accordance with the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1908, for improvements executed by him. The Clerk said he had sent for de- tails of the improvements, and on January 27tli he had a reply asking the Guardians to purchase certain machin- ery. Mr \V. Davies That does not come under the Agricultural Holdings Act. (Laughter.) The. Clerk explained that he received another letter subsequently, stating that he had appointed Councillor John Howell as hjs valuer to make up the compensation acc ount. The Clerk added that Mr.„ Whiting c, was not entitled to remain on the farm after February 1st, but inasmuch as the Guardians had not yet appointed a faim bailiff they might allow him to re- main on a weekly tenancy. This suggestion was agreed to, Mr "Whiiing to pay os. a week rent.
Phthisical Cases.
Phthisical Cases. A letter was read from the Welsh National Memorial Association, who had asked to contribute to the maintenance of phthisical patients taken into the workhouse infirmary, stating that the association had sent no patients to the infirmary, but were prepared to accept patients from poor-law authorities, and give them treatment in any of their in- stitutions whenever beds were available. They could not, however, undertake to provide for patients in an institution over which they had no control. Mr. J. Prowle described the reply as mean. They knew, he said, the asso- ciation had sent no patients to the in- firmary, but where, he asked, were the poor sufferers to go? He thought it (ail 'v a bribe to get the halfpenny rate that the association were paying for the patients admitted into the Murdy Hos- pital of the Merthyr Corporation. The Clerk said he hoped the associ- ation would carefully consider the ad- visability of taking over the splendid sanatorium now being built by the Guardians at Pontsarn, but Mr. J. Prowle questioned whether this would be allowed by the Local Government Board.
Promotion Dead.
Promotion Dead. Discussing the appointment of a nurse for the Pontlottyn District, Mr. J. Prowle, referring to the appoint- ment of a clerk at the last meeting, asked if the principle of promotion was dead. Mr. Meth Davies: Yes, it died at the last meeting. (Laughter. )
CHILL UPON CHILL.
CHILL UPON CHILL. The Createst Danger of the English Winter. The sudden variations of weather and temperature during the English winter account for the fact that chills, influen- za and severe colds are the rule, even among the most hardy individuals. Every chill has a weakening effect and renders you an easy victim of painful rheumatism, or, it may be, hacking coughs and chest troubles that often lead to serious developments. Usually the stomach becomes feeble and loss of appetite with severe indigestion fol- lows. Just as likely, your nerves be- crme so affected that you grow too weak and ill for work or recreation. The lesson of all this is that you must fortify your system sufficiently to resist and overcome these evil effects of chills. There is new strength for you in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, for, unlike ordinary medicines, these Pills nourish your enfeebled sys- tem by creating good red blood, while they enrich your blood that has been made weak and impure hy chill after chill. With this new blood made by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in your veins, you gain strength, your appetite re- turns, your nerves are fortified, and you overcome all the evil effects of chills and influenza. This is made evident by Mrs. E. Wallis, of 38 Shaw Street, Derby, who states: "Some time ago I caught a severe chill, and was soon a wreck from irregular health and weakness. I took much medicine, but became so thin and pale that T decided to go to hospital. One doctor was so anxious that he fre- quently had me weighed. He said that my trouble was wasting debility with bJoodlessness, following a chill. Scarce- 1y any diet seemed to agree with me; in fact, nearly every mouthful of nour- ishment was followed by severe pains through my chest and shoulders. In spite of treatment I got thinner and thinner. "Then I turned to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Steadily my appetite grew keen; soon 1 could eat regular meals. I had no more pain, and food nourished me. I gained weight and colour and went on improving until J was quite cured. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strengthened my system and gave me new blood; and I have never had any illness since."
