Robins I was, and his remarkable experience with Zam-Buk is H therefore valuable. Mr. Robins, who lives at 6, East- g land Road, Neath, South Wales, was formerly at sea, 1 and was shut up with his ship at Port Arthur at the B beginning of the late Russo-Japanese War. H I left the sea three years ago," Mr. Robins confided to a Mid-Glamorgan H Herald reporter, and gQt work in Barry. As a result of sitting on damp wood E in Barry Dock, I got blind pileg. The pain was often so severe that I couldn't sit H in any position, and when in bed I was continually turning over in a vain attempt H to get ease. Seeing my distress my mates did all they could to help me, but in H spite of different ointments and cold creams, the pain got worse. The irritation H and burning sensation were almost unbearable, and gradually wore me down. H > "I told my mate about my trouble some months ago, and he strongly IB advised me to try Zam-Buk, which he said had cured him of a similar complaint, rej I soon found that Zam-Buk merited all the praise it got. It soothed my pain E| right from the first, and gave me far more relief than mere ointments. H I persevered with Zam-Buk, which gradually rid me of all pain and dis- H comfort. It was a great relief to be again free from the piles and able to work fla and live in comfort. Zam-Buk has completely cured me and I never feel anything « of the distressing piles now.

As to se- condary school regulations, the Governors observed that they were already meeting the requirements of the secondary school reguia tions as to free places and were prepared to consider any further provisions that might be required. They point out that no representatives of Boards of Guwrdians sit on the Governing Body, and they disap proved of the proposal to further increase the representation of the County Education Committee.

The Governors expressed disapproval of the uro- posals as to the relative powers of county and local authorities, as they tended to trans- fer authority from the Local Governing Body to the County Education Authority, which would be mischievous and tend to extin- guish local interest in the work of second- ary education, while being contrary to the spirit of the Intermediate Education Act. Disapproval was also expressed of the pro- posal to put an end to the representation of parents on Local Governing Bodies and of the proposal to make average attendance the basis of grant. The Governors also disapproved of the proposal to charge high- er fees for scholars from out side the county, which would have an injurious effect upon the Bangor County School for Girls as well as upon Friars' School.

WHEN FOOD FAILS. With all the talk about diets and nourish- ing foods, one vital fact is entirely lost sight of, namely, the best food cannot be assimilated and is valueless. unless the nerves continue to stimulate the secretion of digestive fluids. The very first thing that happens when people become excited, or upset by grief or other emotions, is loss ct appetite, the nerves locing control of the, digestive functions. The plainest fo)d 'i benefit abundantly when the nerva force is supplemented by Phosferine, as witness the statement of Miss Jones, who savs "I wrs nervous and lost my appetit"> i cmii I riii walk a few yards without being exhausted, and standing- to cet, mv br-ath. After a few doses of Phosferine I felt mvself again, and can do my work. The cure .s lasting for I feel better than ever.—1156, Hadley Lodge. Hadley, TVellingtca. S-Iop

Trevor (Mears Carter, Vin- cent ajid Co.), for the owner, Mrs Wynne iFinch. and the tenant Mrs Jane Jones, agreed to the reference of the license of the Ship Inn, Portdinlleyn, to the Compensa- tion Authority on the the ground ot re- dundancy, Mr W.

R. Anthony, for the tenant and the lessee, agreed to the license of the New- borough Arms, Fourcrosses, being referred on the ground of redundancy, the renewal being opposed by Mr iGeorge, for the temperance party, on this ground. Mr W. George, for the temperance party and the police, opposed the renewal of the Bull Inn, Nevin. The police objected, be- cause of a conviction aga'inst the tenant, -R.obart Owefli «&xnf9, and the temper- ance party on the same ground and also of redundancy Mr Caradoc Davies, for the owners, said they had fully intended putting in a new tenant before this. They had already sett-led with a new tenant, but Mr RobeTfc Jones declined to igjve up possession, and the owners had now no alternative but to fall back upon the terms of their agreement which empowers them, in the event of mis- conduct, to turn out a tenant instantly. His application to the bench was to renew the license to Jones pro forma, so as to place the owners in a position to apply for the transfer of the license from Jones to the new tenant. Mr P. G. Hughes. The police objected to the renewal of the license because of the unfitness of Jones. He agreed he was unfit, and he would not be allowed to remain in the house a day longer than the owners could help. Mr George submitted that the bench, in face of the declaration they had made ait the annual licensing sessions, could not re- new the license to Jones. Colonel Savage, for the owners, said lie was ready to give an undertaking tha.t a new tenant would be put in without delay, He added that Jones resented the refusal of the owners to accept a friend of hi-* as tenant The bench decided to refuse renewal to Jonea.

| ANGLESEY RIGHT-OF-WAY CASE. APPEAL COURT APPLICATION. In the Court of Appeal on Tuesday, be- fore Lords Justice EarweiJ and Kennedy, m tiie case of the Attorney Ueneidi ton the relation of the VaJiey Rural District Coun- cil) Y. Robert Jones, an application was made on behalf of the defendant for leave to appeal notwithstanding that the time limit had expired. Mr Ralph Bankes. who appeared in sup- port of the application, said that the action, which was tried before Mr Justice Pickford and a common jury at the Beau- maris Assizes was brought against the de- fendant, a small lanaed proprietor Itt Anglesey, fer alleged* trespass, the allega- tions against him being twofold—namely, that he had closed a footpath and that he had encroached upon a part. ot a public highway by building a wall upon it. The jury found against the defendant on the issue as to the highway, and in his favour on the issug as to the footpath. Mr Justice Pickford entered judgment accordingly, and suggested tirat each party should pay their own costs. The plaintiffs' solicitors would not consent to this course at the time, and it was arranged that the matter should stand over so that they might con- sult their clients, and that the matter, if necessary, should be mentioned to the judge again in London. Negotiations then took place with a. view to a settlement of the dispute, and the defendant's solicitors thinking that as the matter was to come in 10 before the judge again on the question of costs, the time for giving notice of appeal would not- begin to run till then. It was in eoasequence of that that notice of appeal was not given in time. Lord Justice Far well: What is the value of the land in question. Mr Bankes said that the value was not large, but then the defendant's property was only ten acres in extent. The pro- posal of the plaintiffs was that although the highway was only seven feet wide before-it go to the defendant/ s land, it should then become 20 feet wide. Lord Justice Farwell though that it was a case that ought to be settled. Mr Bankes said that there was nothing more likely to bring about a settlement than if their lordships %v .ouV. give the defendantg leave to enter his appeal (laughter). Mr Davenport, for the plaintiffs, argued that as the defendant had no complied with the rule as to setting down his appeal, the time ought not now to be extended. Lord Justice Farwell eaid that the delay was due to a bona-fide attempt to settle the dispute in a case which clearly ought to be settled. In the circumstances the court wouM give the defendant leave to enter his appeal, on the Condition that he paid the costs of this application. Mr Bankes asked for seven days in which' to enter the appeal. Lord Justice Farwell: Yes. but do Utilise the time by settling the case. Their lordships further directed that pending the hearing of the appeal there should be a general stay. I
