A BOY HERO THE RECENT FIRE AT LLANDUDNO JUNCTION. At the annual meeting of the Colwyn Bay Branch of the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, on Wednesday, the Rector of Llandudno (Rev LI. R. Hughes, M.A.), president of the Llandudno Branch, presented to a boy named Stanley Davies, 13, years of age, the diploma of the National Society, for having, on September 30th, saved his father's horse from a fire. It »viil be remembered that a stable went on fire, on the date mentioned, at Llandudno Junction. There were two or three ho ises in the I building—which was a wooden structure- at the time. One of the animals was burnt to death. But through the heroic conduct of Stanley Davies, he saved that belonging to his father (Mr Thomas Davies, carriage proprietor, Broad Street, Llandudno Junc- tion). Through the exertions of Miss Dal- ton, the lion, secretary of the Llandudno Branch of the R.SlP.C.A., a sufficient amount of money was collected to buy a handsome watch, and that lady presented the token to the lad amidst loud cheers. Mr Charles Reynolds, J.P., who presided, observed that they were indebted to the Llandudno Branch for the honour conferred upon them in having such an interesting ceremony performed at their meeting.

ANGLESEY NOTES For some time past many of the residents of Anglesey have been wondering what at- titude Lord Sheffield would take up on the question of the Budget. It was generally thought that his Lord-hip would stand on neutral ground, but he has mow spoken out with no uncertain vo:ce on the side of the democracy, despite the fact that the Budget will mean a heavy tax on his purse. Sejf-sacr.i&e for the good of the State is one of his Lordship's maxims. Addressing the Anglesey Liberal Association, he as- serted that the issue is that of the suprem- acy of the House of Commons, which is a representative body, mn regard not oniy to representative body. Ïm1 regard not. oniy to national finance, but to national legisla- tion in general. In Anglesey, at least, the election wi'll be fought on the issue men- tioned by his Lordship. The limitation of the power of t.he House of Lords is much discussed, so that useful legislation demarnd- ed by the people may not be 'wrecked by the Upper House. The General Election is the topic of gen- eral interest just now, but the approaching Urban Distr:ct Council election is also freely discussed. Some of the councillors admit that the bi'ggest partner in the expendi- ture of the rates is the electric light scheme. It will be impossible for years to come to make a substantial reduction in this item, though the efforts of some of the ¡ councillors in this direction are most praise- worthy. It ie stated that at the forth- coming eiectiicn every seat will be con- tested. tested. • • An agitation has been kept up for some years at Holyhead for a fire-engni3 and proper extinguishing appLallices. Members of the Council have ridiculed the exist- ing equipment, and the d'scusfion about the wheel-barrow and the burst pipes are fresh in the memory of the majority cf the townsmen; Hohhead has a population of between 10,000 and 11,000, and but few, if any towrtiS of its size are without a fire- i engine and other appliances for extinguieh- img fire. For a, town like Holyhead to be without suitable appliances in the event of a fire is a serious matter, which must be faced c-nce and for all. The town has en- joyed a remarkable Immunity from serious •fires for a long time, but It is not to ba presumed that this is. to go on for ever. When a fire of any size does take place, a strong outcry is raided, and a demand is made for a fire^eng'ne, but no decision is arrived at and the matter is allowed to rest until another ccnflaegration takes place. Some day the community may suffer loss of life, because of the fact that Holyhead has no proper equipment for effectually dealing with a fire. v Holyhead will be very gay on June 14th when the Royal Mersey Yacht Club will hold a big regatta, here, and on June 15th, when the Royal Alfred Yacht Club channel matches from Holyhead to Kingstown are announced to take places The Royal Mer- sey Yacht Olub recognises that the Ment- is not. at all suitable for big regattas, and it has been decided therefore to hold the meetiniEc off Holyhead—another instance of the triumph of our port over Liverpool 1 Thes.3 'two fixtures should briing a large number of people to the town, and now that a special effort is being made to bring Holyhead's claim as a v isitors' resort be- fore the public, we expect that full advan- tage will be taken of evenlts. such as these,

MR R. 0. ROBERTS AND THE BUDGET (To the Editor.) l £ !ir, May I be allowed to correct a wrong statement of the land clauses of the Budget made bv the prospective Conservative can- didate for Anglesey at the meeting on Nov. 13th. Any person wiith an elementary knowledge Off the Budiget, listening to Mr 11R. O. Roberts, must have come to the oon- elusion that he was speaking out of ignor- ance of the Budget clauses. Mr Roberts said that, were a. person owning a. house j worth £;5.00 to sell that house. at an in- creased price, the Government would, in the event of the Budig-et passing, step in and claim 20 per cent. of the profit. IWhen Mr Rjoberts made this statement, he must, surely have had in mind a ^myth ical Budiget, and not tlhe present Budget of the Liberal 'Gotvecrnient. Is it necessary to point out that land clauses deal with land, a.nd not with houses? 1 say, emphatically, that the B'ud|gat will nlot affect the house-owner, pure and simple; a.nd: I should advice Mr (Roberts and anybody else, doubting this, to rend tlhe land) clauses for themselves.— Yjours etc., I YOUNIG- LTIBIEIRAL.

fWLLHELI WILL DISPUTE PROBATE COURT'S DECISION. In the Probate Division, on Monday, Mr Justice Bargrave Deane had before him the case of Jones v. Williams. It referred to the testamentary disposi- tions of the late Mr William Jones, an ironmonger, formerly of Llys Ivor, Pwll- heli, who died on June 4, 1897. Mr Barnard, K.C., said that he appeared for the defendant. The testator left a will, dated April 4, 1895,, which was proved in common on July 10, 1897. In December, 1908, the plaintiff brought an action to re- voke the probate, he claiming to be the law- ful brother. He pleaded that the will was a forgery, and that the deceased did not know and approve the contents. Having the pleadings completed, the plaintiff took no steps to enter it for trial. Thereupon the defendant entered the case for trial. In June last the defendants, believing there was no defence to the will, applied to the president for leave to put it in the list as a short cause, and after some time this suit was brought. Mr Robert Ivor Parry, a solicitor, prac- tising at Pwllheli, gave evidence as to the preparation of the will and of its due execu- tionv His Lordship pronounced for the will, with costs.

Napoleon s Great Feat A ROMANTIC DISCOVERY IN THE ALPS. When Napoleon found the mountainous Alps barrihg his way into Italy, he sum- moned all h.s courage and skill, and made hio ei-ig-incers carve a road practically out of the rock for his troops to march along. It was a splendid engineering feat, and proof of the general's resourcefulness, abili- ty, and tenacity of purpose. W -lthisi reach of Napoleon at that time there lay another secret which, solved since by has meant untold benefit to mJlions of people, and saved the lives of an even greater army than Napoleon sacri- ficed on; his historic march. The pine-clad slopes of the Alps have for centuries been noted for their peculiar health-giving and balmy air. The unfailing robustness of the Swiss* shepherds in thoee regions proved be- yond doubt that the atmosphere of the pi'ne forest is permeated with healing and soothing aromatic vapours, which have a marvellous curative action in aj,l diseases of the chest and lungs. The problem present- ed to 'scient:l?ts was how to collect those i'ife-giving essences and use them for the benefit of our throat, chest, and lung troubles. With Napoleonic determination, ecientists started on this new conquest of the Alps. The campaign was long and costly. For years the Alps baffled all attempts to pene- trate the health-giving mysteries of their pine-clad slopes. At last, however, advance 7-on was made along new 1me'! of investigation which led up to the discovery of a novel method by which the lung-heal ng vapours of the pine forests could be concentrated in handy tablet form, now known bv the name of Peps, the great breathe-able re- medy. Here We now have the triumph of a new principle in medicine—a. principle that i" safe, rational, and common-sense, and one that leaves behind the old-fashioned cough mixtures, lozenges, and o'ly emulsions, many of the former laden with dangerous doses of opium and morphia iia one, form or an- other. As a Peps tablet, dissolves im the mouth, certa'n medicinal fumes are given off. and these fumes are carried with every indrawn breath into the throat, chest. and luing<. Thus sufferers from bronchial trouble enjoy almost the identical benefits the famed p ne woods confer. It is impossible to over-estimate the im- portance of such a discovery, for the effect of these, wonderful tablets :18' two-fold. First, Pep, completely allay the irritation and tickling, i.e., the sub-acute inflammation of the delicate membrane which lines the aV-p pes and lungs; and secondly, they de- stroy the germs ledgingr in tissues out of the reach of liquid medicine. By this system of applying a medicine .straight to the seat of the lung trouble, a real cure is obtained that tickling phlegm is loosened and easily coughed up, the breath'ng tubes are cleared and healed, diseased germs are destroyed; bronchitis however old or neglected, is quietly but surely got, rid of; and the lungs and chest are afforded valuable protection against pkur'sy, pneumonia, and inflammation in these damp and changeable day?. Peps bring "A P'.ne Forest in Every Home" when one cannot think of goihg off to the famous Alps directly that old w inter cough returns, all that half-forgotten chest wea.k- ne-sis once a.ga;i>ni asserts ts grim reality.

LOSSES OF SCOTCH SHEEP FARMERS The annual estimate of prices prepared by the Te/vuotdaile Farmers' Club reveals an exceedingly unsatisfactory trade for sheep during the present year. There is a reduc- tion of from 2s to 6s per head on each of the twellve different classes into which the sheep stock of the district are divided, which represents from 15 to 2i5 per cent. These figures may be taken as correct, as they are confirmed iby the prices obtained at the Hawick auction mart., and they mean a lange decrease in the revenue and pro- tbalbly a Joss instead' of a profit on the sheep farms in the extensive pastoral district of which Hawick is the centre. The continued depression in the sheep trade is as acute a -p.roMe.m as ever, Varlbus explanations have teen offered to account for the reduc- tion in the value of sheep and lambs; but a minute examination htas detected a defect in all of them, though the suggestion that the general depression in. trade, and' the substitution of the cheaper classes of beelf for mutton by the workinig classes, seems to be regarded as the likely explanation. Agtainst the reducltion in, the prices of sheep end lambs there is a substantial advance in the value of wool, varying from 4s to 7s 6cl per stone of 241b. This would help appre- ciably to minimise the effects of the ad- verse trade in sheep, but altogether sheep farmers on the Borders have had an un- profitable year.

LLANDUliNO AUTUMN CONCERTS [FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR NORTH WALES ADVERTISING BOARD. A general meeting of subtcribsris in con- nection with the Llandudmo Autumn Ccn- certs was held iai the Town Hall on Wed- nesday evening, Mr. Wm. Arnold (the cha r- man of the Executive Committee) presid- ing. Air W. T. Brocklehurst (the secretary) submitted the report of the ccmm.ttee and the fiii^nc 'a.l (statement, from -wh.ch it- ap- peartd that there was a balance of JB155. Mr E. E. Bone, who epoke in high terms of the excellent work which the committee had dona, and the immense benefit which ha-i accrued to Llandudno a* the resu t, ot th° Autumn Concerts, propo-ed that -he report and balance sheet be adopted. Mr. Joseph Winter, in seconding, isaid that the town was under a debt of gratitude to Mr Arnold and the committee for carry- i'ng the movement through to successfully. Councillor T. W. Griffith Nupported, and observed that one could not spssk too highly of the way the concerts had been organised I and managed. The motion was passed unanimously, and the committee was re-elected. With regard to the balance, Councillor J, J. Marks brought before the notice of the meeting the fact that a North Wales Advertising Board had been formed, and proposed that they subscribe the sum of £ 25 towards the funds of that combination. Llandudno had promised £ 100, and the Town Improvement Association wa- going to contribute j350. Mr Marks thought that it. was the proper thing to do, inasmuch as the work of the Advertising Board would be of immense benefit to the town. And in support-rig it linancialily the meeting iwould be doing, iai his opinion, the proper thi'ng. Mr E. E. Bone seconded. He also believed that the Advertising Board would prove a great assistance to Llandudno. Mr Greenhaljgh supported the proposal, and ob-erved that Lliandudno could not be advertised too much. Mr 0. W. Roberts, Bodeuron, proposed as an amendment that the matter be left for decision, by the committee, but there was no seconder. Mr C. H. Bevan proposed as a further amendment that they carry the balance for- ward. Mr Lid better seconded, and Messrs. R. Dunphy, Hallmark, and Higgilnbottom eup ported. Mr C. H. Bevan pointed; out that next year's expenses would be scmewhat heaviex, and that they would have to pay more to the Pier Gampa-ny. He did not bel-teve that they had a right to vote any money towards any other object. Upon a divisiolll 25 supported the amend- ment and 24 the motion. Therefore the amendment was carried by a majority of one, Mr. W. T. Brocklehurst uaid that the ommittee had decided upon. carrying for- ward all the balance towards next year's Lutumn Concerts, but if the subscribers massed at that meetinig to subscribe a.ny noney towards the North Wales Adverti- ng Board, there was nothing to prevent him. He (proposed that they subscribe 015. Mr T. W. GrinMi seconded, and Mr J. Roberts supported. Upon being put to the meeting the motion was all but unanimously carried. e At this juncture the Chairman invited suggestions as to carrying on the concerts in future. Mr. Lidbetter said. that ife woili be a good thing if they could arrange a wtek of concerts at Christmas time, and engage the services of a military band. The Secretary reported that the financial promises already received for next year's concerts amounted to £ 65, but that £ 300 would be required im all. On the motion of Mr Marks', seconded by Mr John Roberts, a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the committee, with special reference to the chairman, the treasurer (Mr Greenhal-gh) and' the secre- tary. =

On Monday, Coroner Pentir Williams he'd 1 an inquest, at Aber, in respect of the much- decomposed body of a newly-born male child. found last week in a sack wrapped up in a sporting paper dated July 24th last, and a sheet of brown paper. Dr Price, the Bangor police surgeon, gave evidence as to the state of the body when found., but added that he could express no opinion as to whether the child had been born alive or not. The jury returned an open verdict. The police stated thev had no reason to suspect anyone in the neighbourhood..

WHO ORDERED THE COFFIN ? A COLWYN BAY ACTION. At Llandudno Countv Court, on Thurs- day, Robert Llewellyn Samuel, joiner, Sea View Terrace, Colwyn Bay, brought an action to recover the sum of P,5 lis, being the balance due for a coffin supplied to the order of Edward Bodiield, Park Road. Col- wvn Bay. It appeared from the statement of Mr T. H. Morgan, who appeared for the plaintiff, that the defendant, who sells fruit, etc.. had at one time in bis en ploy a man who lived at his house. Shortly after he came, the man's wife joined him. and died somewhat suddenly. On August 20,1909, the defendant called the plaintiff in and ordered a coffin for the woman, and he paid £1 on account in the presence of a man named Evans, who was in the employ of plaintiff at the time. The claim had never been disputed until the matter was placed in the hands of a solicitor. Mr Crabbe, who defended, denied liability, and added, that the £ 1 on account had been given by the husband of the woman to de- fendant to pay on account. His Honour Judge Moss gave judgment in favour of the plaintiff for L3 10s with costs.

LLANDUDNO JOTTINGS It is reported that an application has been. made (or is to be made) to the Local Gov- ernment Board to hold a public inquiry touching the '"alleged loss" to the rate- payers of JB1640 in consequence of the mis- reading of a certain water meter.

At a meeting of the Urban Council, la-stl week, a communication was read from the London and North Western Railway Com- pany enclosing designs of a footbridge which they proposed erecting over Maeedu Crossing. The Company asked the local authority to assist them in getting the con- sent of the authorities interested to its erec- tion. s There is a highway on both sides of tne Crossing, and it would be well if it was possible to obtain a road bridge. In any case, the Council decided to do aU they could to assist the Company. At the next meeting of the Urban Ccun- cil, Alderman Robert Roberts will propose that a deputation be appointed to wait on Lord Mostyn for the purpose of obtaining the whole control of the Happy Valley.

PERMANENT PAVILION FOR COLWYN BAY A PUBLIC MEETING TO PROMOTE THE SCHEME. — A public meting was held in the Council Chamber, Colwyn Bay, on Friday niight, to consider the advitakMy of promoting a scheme for the construction of a permanent pavilion for Colwyn Bay. Coundillor J. iierth Jones, J.P-, was voted to the chair. The Executive Committee of the Nation- al Eisteddfod which is to be he! i in Colwyn Bay :ii September, 1910, has decided upon Pendorlan Fieid as the site upon which to erect a Pavilion to hold the meetings of the erect a PavJion to hold the meetings of the National event, and it is upon that 6->te— I' unless th.e committee's previous decision will be reversed—that, under ordinary circum- stances, a temporary building, at a probable cost of Jei,200 or JB1,500, will be erected. There appears to be a strong feeling that the amount mentioned should be, contri- buted by way of payment towards provid- ing a suitable permanent pavilion for the I town, which could be utilised in the future fox the benefit of Colwyn Bqy., After a lengthy discussion, it appeared that the sense of the meeting was strongly in favour of a permanent bu-Mmg being erected if the necessary funds could be obtained. It was generally agreed that Colwyn Bay .greatly needed a building which could be used a-! a winter garden during the winter months, but there was a minority of the opinion that the resort was as jet hardly sufficiently developed to support such an in- stitution. One or two regarded the divergence of opinion fu site as the revivification of the old feeling of "east v. west." A speaker suggested that the ratEpayers should be "circular- ised" and asked (1) Are you 'in favour of a permanent pavilion? (2) If so, what site -do you think it should be built on? and (3) how many shares would you be prepaid to take? Eventually it was decided to promote a scheme for the erection of a permanent pavilion on the Pendorlan site, and a com- mittee of about twenty was elected to con- sider the proposal, ,,{th the Rev. William Hughes (Congo Institute) as convener.

.WHY CHILDREN BLINK. The notable increase in eye disease throughout the public schools, says a specialist, is chiefly the neglect of the par- ents. The constant blinking of the eyes is "due to nervousness, and unless checked becomes a real affliction. Children IW ho bhnk co:nt;nuous]y when spoken to, enlarge the tiny muscles of the eyelids and set up an irritation which eventually affects the s'ght. The truth of this is obvious to any- one who watches a nervous child. How easily this nervousness may be nipped in the bud by a, judicious admin istration of Phosferin^ is. evinced by the testimony of Mrs Peter Hazzard, who says: "My chil- dren were, so nervous and afraid of the dark, they would scream and cling to anyone, but thankjs to Phosferin,3 their nerves are stronger, and they are not afraid to go anywhere fov *hem«=-e<!Ve«r now.Shirrell Heath, near Botley.

THE KING'S POLICE MEDAL WHY WAS THIE: CHTEF CONSTABLE OF ANGLESEY IGNORED ? "Justice" writes to the "Police Review" oosmipl'aiining of the manner in whidh the Ring's Police Medal is being awarded. He Bays As an example of the Home Secretary's unfair recommendations take the case of Chief Constables. There are nearly two hundred Ctaunity and Boro-utgh Chief Ootnsta- Ibles in Engliand and Wales, a,bout two- Ithirds of wihom have risen from the ranks. Yet the six Chief Constables recommended by the Home Secretory for tihis honour a-re every one of them drawn from that one- ithixdl section wlhieh consists of aristocraits who had never served in a British, Police Force before their appointment to the office of Ch1 ef CbnslbaMe. Pixilbalbly the most gillarin? instance of this injustice is to be found in North Wiales. The Ohief Oonsita- ble of Denbighshire, wlho, when he was ap- pointted to hiis present office a/bout thirty- one vears ago, was a, military officer with- out any police service, is awarded the medal; while the Ohief Constable of Angle- sey, wim> commenced hiis police career about Ifoitty eigiht years ago as a constable, is ig- nored. And this notwithstanding the fact that the Chief Constable of Anglesey, dur- tinio" his long police career, has probably fought harder battles, and hate certainly rnlade greater monetary sacrifices in the cause o'i truth and, justice, and on behalf of a clean, honest police administration, than any livimg Ciounlty Ohief Constable. Yet this officer 's ignored. while another, nearly twerity yea.rs his junior in the Police Servic< is honoured). Are we to conclude frtwn Mr Secretary Gladstone's; recommenda- tions that wlhiile he holds office "no ranker Chief Constable need apply?" It looks like it. •

YACHT RACES FOR HOLYHEAD The racing fixtures for next season were settled at a joint conference of yacht owners and club delegates, held on Friday, under the auspices of the Yacht Racing A&socia- tion. Among the fixtures arranged were:- Jaae 14.—R. Mersey Y.C., Holyhead. Juiua 15.—R. Alfred Y.C., Channel matches, Holyhead to Kingstown. After the lapse of a number of years the Royal Mersey Yacht Club again comes into the list. Recognising the fact that the Mersey i.8 not at ail suitable for a big regatta, the club have decided to hold next year's fix- ture at Holyhead. It is not at present the 'intention to hold the regatta every year but the club hopes to alternate in the future with the QueetniMOwn and Swansea fixtures, giving them a regatta, every th-rd year. Ainother novel feature of the season will be cross-Channel matches from Holyhead to Kingstown, under the auspices of the Royal Alfred Yacht Club, who intend giv- :aig races for all the big classes.

Some Costly Mistakes Every day, people make seJious mistakes which the experience of others should have taught them to an-eid. For instance, there is the fool, with the gun that he 'did'nt know was loaded" until iL went off, and hurt somebody. There;8 ihe person who goes to find an escape of gas with a naked light, and so causee an explosion. Again there ie-perhaps in your household- someoodv who makes the everyday mistake of thinking that they can be well even though they canno, digest their food. Now, health and strength can be obtained only from food well digested,, and the first ap- proa.ch of indiiges.ion is a serious matter. Neuralgia, anaemia,, and rheumatism result from Indigestion as surely as pains in the chest, head, or back Such troubles arise from a disordered1 stomach and that condi- tion you can remedy with the aid of thø root and herb extract), Mo:her iSeig&l s Syrup, which tones and strengthens the btomach and stimulates the li-ver and bowels. j (Mrs Bland,, 20i Park Place, Dariington, says :—"About ten years ago 'I was attacked by Neuralgia. Day and night I suffered cruel torture. The usual 'remedies' had no good effect. A friend pointed out that, as I had Indigestion and was in a weak,, run- down condition, I could not hope for relief until I impruved, my general health by taking Mother Seigel's Syrup."
