ADVERTISING NORTH WALES A FEDERATION FORMED. Mr Charles A. Jones (Carnarvon) presided over a meeting of delegates of North Wa'cs public authorities held in the Council Clim- ber, LLandudno, on Thursday, to consider the report of the sub-committee appointed to submit a scheme for advertising North Wales on the co-operation system as recom- I mended by Mr L. A. P. Warner, the district .superintendent of the London and North Western Railway. Mr A. J. Oldman submitted a mass of .correspondence from several public bodies bearing on the questions of forming a Fed- eration Board, and also on the scheme sub- mitted for their consideration. The Angle- sey County Council wanted to know what other County Councils were doing in the matter. Carnarvon County Council de- clared that they had no power' to join, and if they were disposed to do so the .Local Government Board auditor wouid object. Denbigh and Merioneth had sent similar replies. The Liverpool and North Wales S.S. Co., and the rfnowdon Tram road Company wrote that they could not join the Board, as l'-o did the University College of North Wales. Replies to the saic-e egect came from the Conway Fishery Board, Llanrwst. County School, and Ruthin County S-chool. Llan- dudno Pier Company wrote to say that they wou'd contribute J310 to the Board's special fund. Bethesda U.D.C. stated that they may consider the question of joining; Den- bigh took no action; Llangefni not inter- ested Llangollen may consider; Ruthin gave no support; Conway R.D.C. and Deu- draeth R.D.C. declined; Lleyn was not d's- posed. Wrexham said that it would be ro benefit to them; Llandudno Junction Tm. provement Association could not yet promise any definite subscription, etc., etc. How- ever, support, was forthcoming from 123 towns and districts, namely, Abergele, Am- lwch, Bangor, Beaumaris, Bettwsycoed, Blaenau Festiniog, Carnarvon, Colwyn Bay, Conway and Deganwy, Criccieth, Llandudno, Llanddulas, L'anfairfechan, Menai Bridge, Penmaenmawr, Portmadoc, Prestatyn, Pwllheli, Rhyl, Trefriw, Llanrwst, Holy- head, and Valley. FORMATION OF THE BOARD. On the motion of Mr Owen Owen, Ban- gor, it was unanimously resolved to consti- tute a joint committee for advertising pur- poses to be called the North Wales Adver- rising Board. The Board will be governed by a general committee composed of repre- sentatives from all contributing authorities. Bach, constituent authority "haÜ appoint ,>aa representative for every 5000 of its popula- tion. one for every J350,000 oi rateable value, one for every j325 contributed in excess of the quota called for from the authority, and one for every contribution of £25 and up- wards from any company. The maximum representation for any one district will be four representatives. The expenses incurred will be defrayed out of a common fund to be contributed to oy the constituent authorities in proportion to rateable value and population, with a minimum of JBIO. The basis agreed to was that JBl should be paid for every 1000 of the population of each district.. and £1 for every J31000 of the rateab'e value. A discussion followed as to the effect of the basis in such a case as Festiniog, which would be required to pay £ 74, whilst Bett.vs- ycoed would only pay J39, but would lie likely to derive a great deal more advantage from the movement than the former town. It was felt that some amount of inequality was inevitable, but provided the scheme was worked for the good of the whole of North Wales, as the rules provided, the disparity would be minimised. In cases like that of Bettwsycoed, it was pointed out, where the j contribution according to the scale was low, it might be added to voluntarily. The Chairman said the Committee found it most difficult to arrange a ba?is: and that adopted was the only -ay in which tney could do it with any de.gre? of ion. He wanted the contributing authorities to look it it from the broader point of view than that merely of its effect upon ru. particular district (ap- The Board was authorised to arrange for ■ the advertising of special events in whi,'h several contributing districts are interested, as for instance the summer series of regattas. the expense incurred therein to be met by the localities benefited.

Mr Robert Roberts (Llandudno) moved that in view of the passing of the bill em- powering the Irish local authories to raise rates for the advertising of health resorts, the Board strongly urge the local members of Parliament to support the bill which the Urban District Councils Association propose to introduce into the next session of Parlia- ment conferring similar powers upon local authorities in this country. Mr P. H. McCiement, of Penmaenmawr, seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.

It appea-rs that the defendant went tc plaintiff's branch shop known as Ceylon '.Stores to pay a cheque for £10, for which he obtained a receipt. In due course, that cheque was forwarded to headquarters, and the clerk there, so it was stated, not know- ing that a. receipt had been previously given for the money. issued another receipt for the same cheque. In other words that two receipts ha.d: been given for the one sum of 610. Defendant, on the other hand, eon- tended that he had pa.id two cheques of £ 10 to the plaintiff, on the same date, and that the receipts were perfectly correct. One of the could be t-mced, but the second Corld rot be accounted for. His Honour ndiourred the case so as to enable the ■nla.'in+iff to produce certain books.

HOLYHEAD GUARDIANS A PAUPER S HOARD. Tuesday, Mr O. H. Foulkes, J.P., presid- ing- =, The out-relief paid during the past fort- night was as follows:—Holyhead district, £ 83 Is 6d to 336 paupers, increase of 104 as compared with the corresponding period last year; Aberffraw district, JE45 lid to 144 paupers, increase 6; Bodedern district, JB45 17s 7d to 153 paupers, decrease 6. The Chairman said that he was very grate- ful for his appointment as one of the gov- ernors of the Llangefni County School, L nt unfortunately circumstances were such that he could not attend.- The Clerk was ap- pointed instead of the Chairman. During the past fortnight Mrs and Miss Fox-Pitt had visit.ed the house, and pre- sented tobacco, tea, and sweets to the In- mates. Dolls were a!so presented to the children. The donors were cordially thanked for their kindness. The case of an insurance policy on the life of the late W. W. 'Roberts was again dis- cussed. The deceased had only paid two or three instalments, and the rest had been paid by Mr S. J. Bibby. In fact, the amount paid by him exceeded what would be returned to him by the insurance company- An industrial policy could not be assigned to anyone without the sanction of the in- surance company. The insurance company were prepared to waive this if the guardians would make no claim. The amount due un- der the policy was JB19 13s 9d, and at tJ:e last meeting the guardians insisted on claim- ing half the amount.—No reply had been re- ceived to the Clerk's communication, and the question was left in abeyance. At the last meeting it wa.s reported that a pauper named Margaret Williams had lied apparently in great poverty, and was in re- ceipt of out-re!ief for nine years, at the rate of 4s weekly. After her death JB29 in gold- was found by the undertaker under her pil- low, and he reported the matter Ho Mr Parry, the relieving officer.-The Board de- cided to claim the money and bank it.- A Mr Henry Jones, living in Upper Baptist Street., now appeared before tie Board, and stated that he was a brother of the. deceased woman, and asked the guardians to allow him some portion of the money.— After some discussion the Guardians decided to adhere to their former decision. A parson in receipt of out-relief having died in the vicinity of London Road, Holy- head, the case was considered by the guard- ians. It seems that a Mr Evans who al- leges that he had lent money to the deceased, had received a clock as surety or in payment of the mount. Mr David Evans, Chester House, also had paid over two years' rent, and wished to be repaid. The guardians decided to demand the return of the clock, and instructed the relieving officer to take possession of the furniture.

OCTOGENARIAN AND HER SON IS PROPERTY CONVEYANCE SET ASIDE. In the Chancery Division, on Friday, Mr Justice Neville had opened before him the action of Williams v. Williams, by which it was sought to set aside a deed of convey- ance of the Hafod y Coed Estate, Llandwrog. Mr Peterson, K.C., who appeared for the plaintiff, said that his client, Mary Wil- liams, aged 82 years, sought, to set aside a deed which she did not remember having executed. She contended that in any case it was an involuntary deed, for which no ex- planation could be given, and at the time she signed the document purporting to transfer to her son one moiety of a property which in any event was worth from £ 4€0 to £ 500, her son was in possession of know- ledge about which she knew nothing. The first question was whether the deed was pro- periv executed, and secondly If it was it must be shown by the defendant that the deed was a righteous transaction in order for him ta succeed. The whole of the plaintiff s pro- perty amounted to about Ll,280, upon which she had to draw in order to live. She was, in fact, entitled on the death of one William Williams to a moiety of the Hafod y Coed Estate, and her case was that at the time she signed the deed in question she did not know that she had any inteitest in the moietv, and the defendant, on the other hand," thought that he was the person en- titled to it. The plaintiff gave evidence in support of her case, and said that the deed was never in anv way explained to her. The hearing was adjourned until Monday, when Mr Butcher, K.C., representing the defendant, said that he had had an oppor- tunity of considering the evidence that had been "given by the plaintiff, and he was happy to say they had been able to settle the matter. He desired on behalf of his client to say throughout the whole of the transaction he thought the plaintiff knew of her rights in the property, and knew what she was doing with regard to the pro- perty. He fully realised,however,that she had sworn tfrat she did not understand that she was conveying her interest in the property to her son. Whatever might be his legal rights, he did not wish to take the property against his mother. That being so, he (counsel) had arranged an order with Mr Peterson, K.C., who represented the plain- tiff, to the effect that the deed of .9th August. 1908, should be set aside and handed over to plaintiff, and the defendant to render to the plaintiff an account of rents received bv him sinoe the death of the ten- ant for life William Williams (March, 1907) and to pay the costs of the action, the plain- tiff paying the defendant's taxed costs, as between solicitor and client, of the eject- ment action and originating summons (in which the plaintiff's totle to the property was ascertained) and any costs already incurred bv the defendant in respect of the recent sale. That settled the whole case. Mr Peterson assented, and his Lordship made an order in the terms agreed. ""————————-—————

Whole family with fcxeema FIERCE RUNNING SORES ON FATHER, MOTHER( AND THREE CHILDREN. ZAMBUKS WONDERFUL ACHIEVE- \IF MENT. Another of those remarkable cures that prove Zam-Buk to be immeasurably superior to mere ointments has just come to light. Mrs E. Mackrell, of 8), Johnstone Street. Airdrie, N.B., said to a Reporter:— "When living for a short time in Belfast we all began to suffer from a breaking out of sores. Running sores and breakings out like > boils came thick upon me, especially on my legs. My husband's chest was very badly, covered with eruptions, an three children also had similar sores, particularly on the face. The sores were veiy painful and spread rapidly. The doctor told us there was an epidemic of eczema in Belfast, and we were suffering from this complaint. His usual ointments and lotions proving useless ,W3 had another doctor, and afterwards a third,, but all faired to give us relief from the smarting paan and to check the spread of the sores. "All the doctors told us that my husband had most likely caught the infection while at his work, as many of the men from his place had been treated1 by the doctors from eczema. It was really pitiful to see the children suffering so severely and not be able to give them relief. I can assure you I tried all kinds of ointment, only to be again and again disappointed. We had all been tortured for months when I remembered having heard good accounts about Zam-Buk from many friends at home, .'o I now d-o- cidedl just to try it. This is what we did. "All the sores places were first cleansed with Zam-Buk Medicinal Soap, and then Zam-Buk was smeared over them. Instead j of the burning sensation that had followed the use of ointments, the applications of Zam-Buk proved beautifully s-oothing. The children especially noticed the d.fference, because they stopped crying- The Zam-Buk dressings were repeatedj and ere y day there was a big Impcxvement. My husbamd fiilst got rid of all his eruptions; then my own ulcers and sore* healed up and finally all our three children were cured. Zam-Buk removed every so.,oB and gave us all a clear and healthy skm, "Subsequently we used1 Zam-Buk on little Lawrence when he burnt his leg. Though the bum was six inches long and had ex- posed the raw flesh, Zam-Buk in a few days healed the flesh splendidly and grew a new skin over it- We a~e ncver now without a box of Zam-Buk, and we u;e Zam-Buk Medicinal Soap to safeguard us from in- fectious ekin trouble." Whether it be used for a cut, burn, bruise or scald in the kitchen; for the children's Keads when ringworm and1 other infectious skin troubles are about; or for eczema,, piles, ulcers, bad legs, or for any itching, in- flammation. or blood-poisoning, Zam-Buk is always a wholesome and speedy cure. Zam- Buk is prepared from certain rich herbal juices, which are so blended to- gether as to bring out to the full their medicinal qualities. Zam-Buk contains no rancid animal fat ot mineral irritants), such as are largely found in cheap ointments and ,alTes. but is the acme of purity and1 refinement.

LIBERALISM AT CJLWYN BAY THE HOUSE OF LORDS A POWE'R FOR EVIL. A well-attended meeting was held in the Lecture Hall, on Friday night, under the auspices of the Colwyn Bay Liberal Asso- ciation. Mr John Williams presided. Among others present were Mr Field-Till, of the Manchester '95 Club; Mr John Cromp- torr, Mr R. Thomson, Rev Thomas Lloyd, Rev T. M. Jones, Mr Tom Roberts (secret- ary), etc. The Chairman, who was cordially re- ceived. said that they were there that even- ing in defence of the Budget, and the great principles of Free Trade. The House of Lords had rebelled against, the Budget be- came Mr Lloyd George had put the cat amongst the pigeons (loud laughter and ap- plause). His graduated scale of income tax, and especially the super-tax, was not to their liking, and. they held up their hands in horror with regard to the death duties (laughter). The Lords wanted a fiscal sys- tem which would make the working men pay the lion's share towards the maintenance of the country (cheers). They were told that the Lords Were going to thpow the Budget out, and the question was what the public were going to do. (Voice: Throw the Lords out; and loud applause). Yes; j and the way to do that was to return the Liberal Party to power to break the back of the House of Lords once and for all (loud applause). He hoped that Colwyn Bay would return Sir Herbert Roberts with a j greater majority than ever. As for tariffs, they would create more and more monopo- lies, and would merely benefit the few at the expense of the many (applause). Mr Field-Till examined the speech of Mr Balfour at Manchester earlier in the week. Only two years ago Mr Balfour said that the House of Lords cou'd not touch money bills, and that if they did it would bring the whole executive machinery of the coun- try to a standstill. Only so recently a,, September, 1903, Mr Balfour declared that he was a Free Trader. In 1904 he said he had never been on the Protectionist side, and he said also that protection of manu- factures diverted capital and labour from agriculture, and that a protectionist policy aimed at creating home industries by rais- ing prices. A recital of the measures passed by the Government in four years enabled M r Field-Till to declare that the record of the present Administration was, even in spite of the constant obstruction of the House cf Lords, a very fine one, and to their credit was also to be placed the pacification of South Africa. If the Lords rejoected the Budget the people who blindly assisted them to defeat the Constitution would bitterly repent it. The poor man now paid Is 6d to Is 8d in the pound on his earnings in in- direct taxation, and it was proposed in the Budget to lay the foundation for taxing the rich man in the same proportion to his means.

It is never too late to be well unless you are sure Dr. Williams; Pink Pilis never cured a case like yours. Here, for instance, what would have been this woman's fate if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had not rescued her ? Mrs. Kate Gibson, of 13, Trinity Street, North Shields, states At one time I was constantly ailing. My nerves were 1 all on edge,' and I was hardly ever free from headaches. I tried both tonic and aperient medicines, but they caused sharp pains after everything I ate, and I felt cold as though little blood was in my veins. I tried to build my strength up with nourishing foods. But nearly everything lay undigested on my stomach, and caused fearful pains and flatulence. I was taking doctors' medicine for years but at length a doctor told me that I was so bloodless he could do nothing for me. So I dragged on, until a friend begged me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After a few boxes I felt stronger, the pain in my head was not so severe, and I was able to eat without Indigestion. As I continued taking the Pills my veins filled with new blood, and the Pills gave me back health and strength and a natural colour."
