The War. A Trecynon D.C.M.—L. 8077 Lance- Corporal Stephen Lucy, D.C.M., The Buffs East Kent Regiment, an old Tre- cynon boy, paid a visit home this week. He joined his regiment as a bandsman nine years ago. Prior to the war he played solo euphonium and cello for the Buffs Band. He was drafted out to France with the first contingent. He was mentioned in dispatches on several occasions, and in May, 1915, he received the following post card from Major- General Sir John L. Keir, K.C.B. "Your Commanding Officer and Brigade Commander have informed me that you distinguished yourself during Janu- ary, February, March, and April, 1915. I have read their report with much pleasure.—Signed, J. L. Keir, Major- General." Lance-Corporal Lucy was severely wounded in his right arm on August 9th, 1915, at Hooge, and was in hospital up to Saturday last. He has now been discharged from the Army as medically unfit, having lost the use of his right arm. He was the first Aber- dare boy to be awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal, and wore his ribbon when in Trecynon on furlough in July of last year. Invalided Home.—Pte. Ernie Frame, No. 2 Brondeg Terrace, Aberdare, son of Mrs. and Mr. Wm. Frame, has come home on sick leave from Sheffield Hos- pital, where he has been laid up for the last 2 months suffering from the effects of poisoning. Pte. Frame has been in France with the 13th Rhondda Battalion since October. He goes back to Sheffield on Monday. Three Cwmbach Men Wounded.—In- formation has been received that Pte. William L. Davies, Welsh Regt.; Pte. David Davies, Seaforth Highlanders, and Pte. Jack Evans, King's Own Rifles, all of Cwmbach, have been wounded in action in France. Three Abercwmboi Men Killed.-Pte. J. Henry Evans, 2nd Moflmouth- shire's, son of Mr and Mrs David Evans, 21 Bronallt Terrace, Abercwm- boi, was on Friday last officially report- ed to have been killed on July 1st. Pte. Evans had been in France for nearly 20 months. While home on leave in December last he was presented by the inhabitants with a purse of money. -He was called up with the Territorials at the outbreak of war from Cwmcarn, where he worked at the time. Vll,:h sympathy is felt with the relatives. — Pte. W. Anger, 63 Park View Terrace, who enlisted at the outbreak of war, had been through some of the severest battles in France. A report has come from a comrade of his stating that he has been killed. He leaves a widow and two small boys.—Mrs. Smith, 113 Park View Terrace, is in receipt of two letters from comrades of her son, Pte. Harry Smith, stating that he was killed in action on July 1st. Seriously Wounded. On Friday official intimation was received by Mr. L. N. Williams, J.P., Aberdare, that his youngest son, Capt. Trevor M. Wil- liams, of the 13th Welsh Regt., had been seriously wounded in France and had been conveyed to Rouen Hospital. Later a wire arrived from the hospital stating that the wounds were serious but not dangerous. Mr. Williams re- ceived a letter on Tuesday from Rouen Hospital giving further particulars. The letter stated that Capt. Williams had sustained wounds in the chest, knee and foot. The most serious were the knee wounds. He has two brothers serving with the colours-Capt. Richie D. Williams, who is also with the 13th Welsh in France, and who was in action at the same time, and Mr. W. Emerson Williams, who joined the Motor Transport three weeks ago. Capt. Trevor Williams was home on leave during last Whitsun, when he was married to Miss L. Williams, daughter of Mr. Williams, J.P., Clydach Court, Tonypandy. His father received a letter from Capt. Richie Williams this week, stating that he is in tile thick of it," but is all right. Clyn Neath Soldier's Suicide. A pathetic letter was read at an inquest held at St. Asaph on the body of Lance- Sergeant Nuttall, of the Welsh Regi- ment, who hanged himself in a wood. He wrote :—' I, Lance-Corporal Nuttall, 13675, cannot rest day or night. My head is so bad, and I deeply grieve to think of the pain and trouble it will cause. 1 am going to see the other world. May God comfort my dear ones and have mercy on my soul, but I am better dead than insane, and I have done my bit for England. Good-bye all. My head is bursting. God com- fort my loved ones. Amen! Amen! Amen!" Deceased had lived at Glyn Neath for seven years before joining the Army. He was known in Glyn Neath as Wild,' and for a time was employed by Mr. Lewis Edwards grocer, and later worked at the Rock Colliery. He had been at the front.

What Indigestion Does. Any man or woman who is suffering from indigestion is gradually being starved, because nourishment is not being obtained from the food eaten. That is not all, for the harmful pro- ducts given off by undigested food en- ter the blood stream, and are carried to every part of the body, to the great detriment of your health. Thus indi- gestion means starvation and suffering, too. But Mother Seigel's Syrup pos- sesses such a remarkable power to tone, strengthen and regulate the action of the stomach, liver, and bowels that. indigestion becomes impossible. Good health reigns in its stead. After forty years' testing by tens of thous- ands, Mother Seigel's Syrup is still re- nowned all over the world as a success- ful remedy for those distressing ail- ments which arise from a weak or dis- ordered condition of the stomach, liver, or bowels.

SHOULD AGE GOVERN WAGE? His Honour Judge Bryn Roberts, at the Mountain Ash County Court on Tuesday, heard a claim for balance of wages by Daniel Lewis (18) against the Penrhiwoeiber Coal Company.—Mr. A. Ivor Parry, Pontypridd, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. A. J. Prosser (Messrs. Kenshole and Prosser) was for the respondents.—It came out in evidence that Lewis was paid the full rate of 5s. a day, plus the percentage for some time. Meanwhile, it was dis- covered that he was not 21 years of age, with the result that the company re- duced his wage in ratio to his age. Mr Parry oontended that the wage to be paid to the plaintiff should not be regu- lated by his age, but by his capacity to do the work. Two fellow-labourers, John Winfindale and Joseph Thomas, who had worked in the same district as Lewis, testified that he was a capable labourer.—For the defence it was con- tended that, the plaintiff's wage-rate should be determined by his age, and, since Lewis had been paid on that I basis, Mr. Prosser argued that the claim was unfounded.—Eventually his Hon- our gave judgment for the respondents, with costs on Scale C.

THE LATE DIL GLYN JONES.

r- n. Li Aberdare Welsh Free Church Council. Meetings of the above were held on Tuesday and Friday of last week, the Rev. W. Davies, M.A., Bethania, in the chair.—The Secretary (Rev. R. Williams) submitted an appeal from a local con- ference for co-operation in the movement for prohibition of the drink traffic during the war and six months after. After some discussion the following representatives were appointed to act on behalf of the Council:—Revs. H. 0. Hughes (W.), T. Thomas, Ynyslwyd; Messrs. Richard Morgan, Daniel Jones, W. J. Nicholas, and Philip Jones.—A letter was received from Mr. D. Stephens, Secretary of the local Choral Union, soliciting the support of the Council in their effort to organise a big" charity concert for the benefit of the New Hospital. The appeal was favour- ably received, and the following gentle- men were set apart to act upon the joint committees:—Rev. W. Davies, M.A., and, Mr. J. M. Evans, Bethania.—The Chair- man introduced a discussion on the advisability of promoting an evangelical mission in the early autumn, when it is hoped the churches will take common action. Several speakers cordially sup" ported the idea, it being full time (it' was urged) some great effort should 8e' made to bring home to the people the transcendent appeal of the Cross. The chairman and secretary, together with the Revs. John Griffiths, H. O. Hughes, and T. Eli Evans, were asked to put the matter into definite form, and submit it for the consideration of the churches.- In view of the work taken in hand by the choir of 500 voices, it was decided to leave the question of holding a United Cymanfa Ganu in abeyance for the present. It was explained by the Rev. T. Eli Evans (district secretary) on Friday evening that at a meeting of repre- sentatives of the National Council of Free, Churches of England and Wales on the one hand, and of the National Union of Evangelical Churches of Wales on the other, a scheme of affiliation was adopted by which the latter becomes merged in the larger .movement, and Wales will secure complete autonomy in all matters touching her social and' religious welfare. The immediate effect of this union, if ratified, will be the' bringing in of all the Welsh Noncon- formist Churches, as well as the closer' co-operation of every local Welsh and; English Free Church Council.

This bespeaks the extreme confidence the members of the Order place in him.

RHEUMATISM -KIDNEY TROUBLE. Rheumatism is due to uric acid crystals in the joints and muscles, the result of excessive uric acid in the sys- tem that the kidneys failed to remove as nature intended, to which every qualified physician agrees, and thiø acid is also the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. The success of Estora Tablets for the treatment of rheumstism and other forms of kidney trouble is due to the „ fact that they restore the kidneys to healthy action and thereby remove cause of the trouble, and have cured numberless cases after the failure of other remedies, which accounts for them fast superseding out-of-date medicines that are sold at a price beyond all but the wealthy.
