THE FIRE BRIGADE. 1 The Town Council appear to have come to I the conclusion that it was time to pub a stop to the trouble and difficulty they have had regarding fife brigade matters during the pasb couple of years, and they are to be commended on the firm action they have taken in disband- I ing the brigade and re-organising it. The appointment of new officers will no doubb give the utmost sa. isfaction to the ratepayers generally. An attempt was made to intimidate the Council by obtaining signatures to a petition condemning the di bandmenb, bub many ratepayers wisely refused to sign it, and the disappointed promoters allowed it to drop, COUNTY OFFICES OUrING On Saturday last the Sbaff of the County Offises went for their annual outing.

4- Ruthin Rural District Cottncil. MONTHLY MEETING. Th^ rnontbly meeuug of the abov3 Cuncil was held on Monday. M? J R Lloyd presiding. Oiher membars present wsra :-Mi83 Davies Cooke, Messrs John Roberts, William J Hcrbart Lloyd, Henry Jones, Meredich Junes, Joha Evaup, J H Jones, He: ry Hughes, R iberfc Jones (Efenechtyd), Robert Janes (Liar rhaisdr), Evan Edwards, ONC-L, Williams, John Baeich, O R Owea, John Jones, with the assistant clerk (Mr D E Humphreys Roberts), aud the surveyors (Messrs Ebenezer Evans and Richard Humphreys). THE SLAUGHTERING CF ANIMALS. Referring to the draft bye-laws sub- mitted for adoption by the Council, the Lccil Government Roa^d wrote pointing out that the Medical Officer of Health had strock out the clause which made it compulsory for butchers wi hin the district to stun animals when slaughtering them, and asking the reason for the omigsion. The Medical Officer wrote ia reply stat- ing he was afraid there wou'd be soma difficulty iu imposing tbe condition elated iu the clause, as it was not the ctiatom in the district to stun animals before slaughter. However, he was quits agree- able that the clause, if possible, should ba adopted. The Cieik explained that the animals specified by the Lee-li Governmaut Bjira were bull, ox, heifer, Cilf and pig. Mr Meredi h Jones pointed out that in Wrexham ali animils h d to b3 stunned before slaughter. Misi Davies-Cooke said if it was more merciful to stun animals, it should osrtainly be done, and sfce mcyed that a cUuse to thtt tffdci be included in the byelaws. Mr Meredith Jones seconded. Mr Henry Hughes moved as an amend- ment that the matter be left in ab lyane 3 for the present. Possibly the butchers would have to cinsider the question in twelve monlhb' time, an 1 it would then be easier to daal with. This was sEconded and carried by a Urge majority. HEALTH BILL. The report of the Medical Officor of Health showed that 10 deaths aud 17 births had been registered during the plst month, equivalent to rates of 14 3 and 24 3 per thousand per annum. Sculet fever bad occurred at Graigfechan, Lhn- ferres, and Efenechtyd. No sanitary defects could be found, and the outbreak could Dot be traced to any local ciuse. TELEPHONE SERVICE. The Cleik explained that tha County Council were miking arrangements with the Postmaster General for the t lephone to ba laid down to Gjffylliog, Nantglyn, Lhndyrnog, LWnrhaiadr, Lianferrea, Llanarmon, and Llandegla for night service only at the respective Post Offices. Miss Cooke strongly urged a day Service, and it was unanimously resolved to request the County Council to work with that obj et in view. Mr Henry Hughes moved that Rhewl Post Office be iccluded in the list of places, and this was agreed to. PROPOSED BRIDGE OVER AFON FEOHAN. Afon Fechan is a stream crossing the Denbigh and Oerrigydruidion road on the Hiraethog Mountain, and the District Surveyor (Mr E bene z r Evans) now sub- mitted a plan and estimate for a bridge to span the river and to bear 29 tons of movable wtight. A committee had considered the matter, and recommended that the Birkenhead Corporation should b3 approached, through the Denbighshire. County Council, wkh the view of a contribution towards the exp3nse, the river being whhia the Corporation watershed. The Clerk said he had communicated with the Corporation, who had promised to give him a reply in the coarse of a week. I It was decided that if a satisfactory reply were received the County Council be communicated with. THE PROPOSED SANATORIUM AT LLANGWYFAN. In view of the erection of a sanatorium at Piss Llangwyfan, a committee was appointed. to consider the question of extraordinary traffic over the Council's rcaie. PANDY CAPEL AND LLWYN-Y- BRAIN BRIDGES. The Cletk reported that nothing hsd so far been done to pat new bridges up over the river at Pandy Capel and Llwyn-y- brain. The Derwen Parish Council had positively declined to do anything, and threatened to cair the attention of the County Council to the fact that the District Council had not so far moved in the matter. The Gwyddelwern Parish Council seemed to be more amiable. Mr William Davies said there was never the need for the bridges, bu.t two or three members of the Derwen Parish Council could not see eye to eye on the question,, and the Council in consequence had come to no decision further than allowing the subject to remain in abeyance. It was resolved to again communicate with the two Parish Council's named with the view of getting them to co-operate. ROADMEN'S WAGES. Petitions were received from roadmen in the Llanrhaiadr and Ruthin districts that they be put on the same footing as the County Council's roadmen as regards wages and working hours. After a short preliminary discussion it ) was decided to consider the question in camera, and afterwards, in open Council, the action of the committee was confirmed, 1 viz., that the petition be rejected.

THE TREATMENT OF TRAMPS OLD MEN PEBFORM HEAVY TASKS. A rather live'y di&ouvst n arose in refer- ence to tha fcatki imposed upon tramps over a certain age, and Mr J H Simou said that during his visit to the House a few Jays ago he saw a man 67 years of ago in e, cell breaking 9 awfe of atone. He thought that this was too great a task for an old man ot that age, and even a tramp ehouU bo treated with considera- tion. H would be well tor the Bosrd to koow the regulations governiog these caaea. The Master explained that there was no regulation epeoi»ying age in such oases. Mr Simon Dou't you deal in a lesa drastic manner with men of 60 years and upwards. The Master: Ni. Mr 0 R ORen thought this matter should be left to the discretion o? the Master, I who could reduce the work in oases ol old meu, 1 The Master said the cuatom was to give the regulation task in each case, The cells were charged with stone before be or the poster knew who would occupy them. Tho Porter was called In and he ex- plained that many men over 65 years could break stones better than men of 30 years. They were old stagers, and to his know- ledge some of them bad been coming; to the Hocge for the past 30 years. Breaking stones was nothing to them. They were old costomeye. Mr Henry Jonas: Then why show them any leniency P Mr Simon To put an old man of 67 sears of ago in a ceil all day to break 9 owt of stone 13 really too much. Yoa should give him another j lb. Tbe Porter I offered him another job, but he preferred gtooe-breskiog. Mr Henry Jonea: We don't ask these aian to come hare, Why don't they keep out ? The question was refarrdd to the Chair- man, toe Master, and the Pjrter for a report on the regulations to the next meeting.

After a long discussion it was decided to I ask the Chief Inspector to arrange with the Board of Education's Architect to I meet the County Architect on the spot In orier that a de finite conclusion could be come to in the matter. The deputation appointed at the last meeting to meet the Ruthin Water Com- pany reported that they could not recom- mend the Governors to fall in with the offer made by the Ruthin Water Company.

HOW CHARLIE'S POISONED THUMB GOT BETTER. ZAM-BUK PROVES A REAL HOME DOCTOR. Little Chsrlio Bidwoll, when playing in the house, cut his thumb severely near the nail. 1, Charlie's thumb swelled alarmingly and the pain wenb right up his arm," writes Mrs, F. B dwell, from 166, Thoday Street, Cambridge. I could see that blood-poison had set in, and gob very anxious beoause home-made remedies had no gocd effect at all. I was aboub to take Charlie to a doctor when I was persuaded to try Z im-Bak. So I got a box of this balm from the oh-mist, and after dressing the boy's thumb a few times I could see a big improvement. Charlie was released from all his pain and the poison was all drawn away. I kept) on using Zam-Buk until the boy's thumb was thoroughly cleansed and healed. 11 Zim Buk also cured ecsema on my neck." You cannot do better than geb a box of Za.m.Buk to-day to have ready for accidents or any sign of skin disease or soreness. Zim-Buk balm is never sold from door to door, but at the chemists and drug stores. Beware of fraudulent and worthless imitations.

J WESTERN EXHIBITS AT THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW. Anlyais of the entries for the Royal Show at Shrewsbury on Jane 30jh, and four succeeding days, provides striking proof of the loyalty ot every department of agri- onlcure throughoat tho land to the national Society. There ia practically no type of live stock and no branch of husbandry that is not represented among the exhibits. Clo rly the return to the migratory prin- ciple ia j istiasd by results if numbers go for anything. Bit it is jostifljd also by the circnUtioa of interest iu breeds of stook whic'i have a local ascendency. How glad breeders are to avail { themselves of this re-vitalising iiflienoe is strikingly evident on an examination of the detailed records. This year the great features are the Hereford and Welsh cattle, the 8 irop. j shire sheep. the Welsh mountain sheep aod the Welsh ponies, for all of which an ex- tended classification is provided. The special classes for cared bacon and bam are also of great local significance, though they have a national importance too, and the same may be said of the efforts which are m de to encoarage the culiivation cf tobacco, 11 -x and hemp. Welsh ponies and cob3 have been advancing in favour for ehro past, their smartness and good man- ners making them favourites wherever they are Tbia YQa¡. hhoiV should give them a valuable impetus in the market. The entry of 73 comprises some or the very finest speaimeLs of the type, and will be quite one of the outstanding attractions of the show. Light horses generally form an unprecedentediy strong section. Tae total number of hordes entered, 819, more than doubles the record of the previoas Royal at Shrewsbury thirty years ago. Hereford cattle will be seen to great advantage, 157 of the leading speoimens of the breed having been entered, against 89 at Bristol. Altogether there are 1272 entries in the cittle classes as compared with 1138 at Bristol. The record has never been equalled save at the great jabilee meeting at Windsor. The olasses for Welsh 1 cattle have brought out an entry of 35, an increase of two on last year. Shropshire sheep will, of coarse, be one of the outstanding features of the exhibi- tion. The Royal has had a great icflienoe on the fortunes of the breed, in fact the stimulus it received from the magnifioent show of Shropabires at the last Shrewsbury meeting has been felt ever since. la a very representative entry of almost all recognised breeds this year, Shropshire* held the list with 145. There will be 71 specimens of the Welsh type known as Kerry Hills, while Welsh mountain sheep are prominent with an entry of 67. It may bs doubted whether this department of the show hai ever presented such a valuable opportunity to the flockmasber for com- parative study as the forthcoming meeting will do. There will be nearly 900 sheep, embracing all the wide diversities of type gnown to the species. A timely innovation is made this year in connection with the rearing and curing of pigs, for the show is being held in a part of the oountry which has been under less re- proach than some others with respect to this important adjanct of farming. A new competition is introduced for cured ham and bacon, and the points will be assigned not only for quality of carcase but pro- fioiency of curing. It is intended to make this the basis of a systematic study of a somewhat neglected branch, and records will he preserved of the breed of pig or the particular cross. Cider and perry wiil make a good show, though the entries, totalling 118, fall slightly short of last sear's figures. There is to be a greatly increased exhibit of wool, the policy upon which the Royal is enter- ing of giving recognition to definite crosses for wool yielding purposes evidently being popular.

NOT THE FAMOUS CRIER. At the Llanrwat Board of Guardians on Tuesday, Mr Evan Jones, relieving officer, reported that the Town Crier still suffered from ill-health, and applied for a renewal of the relief granted him at the previous court. Mr John Roberts, J.P. (chairman): Thia cannot be the "great" town orier-the fluent orator of the Picture Hall? (laughter). Mr Davies: Such a great man as Wil- liam will never be associated with charity —he is beyond all worldly annoyanoaa of that kind. Mr M Roberts: The man has Metro- politan fame, and has met the Chancellor and other modern marvels on level ground he has exchanged experiences with them and penetrated the inmost secrets of their syul. It is an insult to such a genius to associate him with want. The officer explained that he was re- ferring to a less august person than the genius of Llanrwst. The application was granted.
