The Aberdare Leader

Merthyr Board of Guardians. SATURDAY.—Present: Mr. Augustus Davies (in the chair), Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Richards, Mrs. Williams, Revs. W7. A. Jones, W. C. Thomas, W. S. Davies, Ll. M. Williams, J. H. Davies, J. O'Reilly, J. D. Rees, D. L. Jones, Messrs J. Price, H. Lewis, D. Edwards, W. Harris, J. Prowle, W. Jones, H. Jones, T. Andrews, J.P., T. Hedge, W.

The Rector of Dowlais said that the fact that there were six children and three officers in the Receiving Home at' Aberdare proved that there was some- thing wrong. Father O'Reilly said that the Rector was a bit jealous of the doings of the Aberdare Children's Homes Committee. As a matter of fact there were but two officers, and they were appointed to look after 30 children, but hitherto they had not been able to arrange the transfer of the children. The Rector declared that the three officials seemed to be helping one another to do nothing. He moved that the matter of utilising the staff to the best advant- age be referred to the Homes Committee. Mrs. Richards wished to explain regard- ing the third" officer. n She was not ex- actly an inmate, but she was certainly not an officer. Mr. David Evans, Merthyr, commenced speaking, when the Clerk suggested that he should leave the matter till after the election. (Laughter.) Mr. Evans: I shall stand or fall by what is right. If I fall, I shall fall like a liero. "Mil gwell yw marw'n fachgen dewr Na byw yn fachgen llwfr." Loud laughter ensued. When that had subsided, the Clerk hastened to explain that he did not mean what Mr. Evans took- to be the meaning of his words. Hn considered it more convenient to leave the matter in abeyance for a period. The suggestion of the Clerk was acted upon. MORE ABOUT THE ELECTION. Mr. Meth Davies moved that in future the minimum of outdoor relief of old people over 60 be 4s. per week, and not 3s. as heretofore. Father O'Reilly considered that the circumstances of each case should be dealt with. The Rector thought it injudicious to do this just on the eve of the election. Mr. W. Harris held that what was right after the election was right before the election. Mr. Meth Davies said that he did not bring forward the matter for electioneer- ing purposes. The Rector declared that he had not in- sinuated that. The motion was carried. APPOINTMENT OF LAUNDRY WOMEN. It was proposed that in future the ap- pointments of laundry women, seam- stresses, etc., hitherto made by the Super- intendent, be made by the Children's IT ernes Committee. After a very long discussion it was re- solved that no alteration be made in the present system, but that the Superintend- ent be directed to report to the Com- mittee any change or new appointment for confirmation.

A Lesson from Two Sentences In two brief, but significant sentences, Miss Nellie Moss, who resides at Upper Kirby Cross, Weeley, Essex, makes clear the contrast between the time when she was suffering acutely from bloodlessness, and later, after she bad been wonderfully transformed into a healthy young woman by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. > "I nsed to feel overcome J i with weakness whilst dress- > ing, not knowing how I < ]> should get through the day S with such terrible pains in > my back and limbs.1' < The above remark was made by Miss Moss to a reporter recently, being followed by further details of her trials :— Up to three or four years ago," said Miss Moss, 4i I enjoyed good health but when I was about twenty I lost all my colour, and began to get thin. In time I became bloodless, and suffered with depression, and was always tired. After eating any kind of food sharp pains used to attack my chest and shoulders. At last I had to give up taking any solids still, the lightest diet made me feel sick and faint. "Mv nerves fell into a very bad state, and I was seldom free from splitting head- aches: besides this, my heart palpitated, and I was breathless after any exertion. I got very weak and suffered from such back- aches that I hardly knew Do You bow to get about. Often the pain across my back Suffer was just like a knife piercing me. I took a lot the Same ? of tonic medicines, but my weakness got worse, and in time my sides and legs ached so un- bearably that I could hardly stand. Going up or down stairs would start pains in my legs, and soon I became afraid to walk out- doors, for fits of dizziness so often seized me. Different doctors treated me for Blood- lessness and Debility, but medicine did not seem to do me any good. In fact, as month after month passed, I became weaker, and life did not seem worth living. One day I read in a newspaper about a young woman being cured of Bloodlessness bv Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. So I sent for a supply of these Pills. Little benefit waa noticed until I had taken the contents of three boxes but I lost the depression and was able to eat better. So 1 persevered with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and before long I was able to eat well without pain. Then my strength returned, and every day my back felt better. As I continued, my nerves were toned up. I was not troubled any more with headaches or dizziness; a healthy colour returned to my face, my eyes became bright, and in time, all pain and weakness left me. So Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me. ]» "I am strong now and can run upstairs; this cure ? !► has been brought about by > j! Dr. Williams1 Pink Pills." Gradually slipping into a deplorable state of Debility throagh sheer scarcity of blood many people go on suffering, yet Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, by their wonderful power of supplying abund- ant Rich, Red Blood to starved veins, have repeatedly cured Amemia, General Weak- ness, Indigestion, Eczema, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Neuralgia, and Nervous Dis, orders also Ladies' Ailments. Sold by all dealers, but see that you obtain the genuine pills (seven words as above), for substitutes never cure or send to the Dr. Willia.ms' Medicine Co., 46, Holborn Viaduct, London; 2s. 9d. for one box or 13s. 9d. for six.

Football. BY SPECTATOR." Aberdare Town v. Merthyr Town. Played on the New Athletic Grounds on Monday, under the auspices of the Western League. Merthyr were without Whittaker, and Aberdare played Boswell in preference to Toswell. Referee, Mr. Palmer, Bristol. Merthyr were the first to attack, and the home backs had to exert themselves to clear their lines, Goodwin in particular doing good work. W. Davies, the visiting outside left, put across several splendid centres, but Dicky Morris and Fisher failed to turn them to good account. Tyler was not idle, being-called upon to save more than one stiff drive. Aberdare attacked, T. D. Jones and McAllister having hard lines in failing to score. The Merthyr halves were a powerful trio, and continually set their forwards on the move, but the home defence was sound. The visitors were de- cidedly lucky in obtaining the only goal of the match, but the point should cer- tainly not have been allowed, D. W. Davies, the Merthyr centre forward, re- ceiving a pass when standing offside. The Dare backs made no effort to tackle Davies, with the result that the Merthyr man had no difficulty in beating Tyler. Half-time score: Merthyr, 1 goal; Aber- dare, nil. The Darians showed up better after the interval, although Bowell had retired from the contest through an inJ jury, was in great form, and Was easily the best forward on the field. Many of his fine openings were thrown away through the forwards dilly-dallying I with the ball instead of shooting when within reasonable distance of the nets. ¡ Aberdare were awarded a penalty for a foul on T. D. Jones, but Farringdon failed to score. Parker was fouled by W. Davies. Sammy however resumed, but he was evidently in paiii. Tippett drove in a lovely cross-shot which skimmed the cross bar, and went over. The home forwards were thoroughly disorganized t without a left winger. Final score Mer- thyr Town, 1 goal; Aberdare, nil. BY "MUDDIED OAF." I EUGBY. (Glamorgan League—Mountain Ash v. Treorchy at Treorchy on Saturday. Mr R. Pollock, of Newport, was the referee.

Treorchy were awarded a pen- alty kick, from which Daly James land- ed a goal. This was all the scoring in the first half. Flooks played a hard game on the wing, and sustained several injuries for his trouble. Johnny Thomas and Daly James were excellent. Final score: Mountain Ash, 1 converted try (5 points); Treorchy, 1 penalty goal (3 points). o 0 0 Trevor Flooks was the hero cf the match, and his try was a beauty. Both Lovelock and Hopkins operated well in the centres, whilst Ainsworth was in his best form. At half, Wyndham Jones and Benjamin were in constant argument with Messrs. Joe Davies and D. W. Jones, whilst Spiller, Lewis/and Tom Jones did well in the Treorchy threequarter line. The pick of the Treorchy pack were Will Morgan, the ex-County player, Attwood, Dick Wise, and Chris Evans. LJ There are good reports of W. T. Os- borne, the old Mountain Ash forward and Welsh International, who plays with, distinction for the Hull Club. ASSOCIATION. Trecynon Windsors v.

Half-time score: Territorials, 2 goals; Recreation XI., 1 goal. 000 In the second half, Foulkes, one of the Recreation forwards, charged the Ter- riers' goalman in the act of clearing a shot, and was cautioned by the referee. The same player, it is alleged, repeated the infringement immediately afterwards, and was therefore ordered off the field of play. Jim Parkes remonstrated with the referee, who in turn severely reprimand- ed the player in question. A scene of wild disorder ensued, and matters bor- dered on a display of fisticuffs, and the game was abruptly ended amid great ex- citement. Mr. Davies, the referee, had to be escorted to headquarters in order to safeguard him from assault. Mr. Davies will assuredly have to report to the League Committee. Three-quarter time score: Aberdare Territorials, 2 goals; Mountain Ash Recreation XI., 1 goal. o o o Abernant v. Hirwain. This league match was played at Abernant on Satur- day.

Choosing a New Costume or Suit Is a great delight, particularly if you choose a tailor- who will take an interest in the transaction. So much, depends on the sense of style of the tailor himself and his artistic, rather than commercial interest in the individual needs of patrons. My attempt to put tailoring on this basis has met with the approval olf some of the smartest ladies and gentlemen in the: District. A Trial respectfully solicited. T.
