Concerning YOUR EYES So Few People have eyes that are perfect, both for near and far vision, that everybody should have their sight tested accurately on the first symptoms of eye-strain. It is a Great Mistake to put off visiting an Optician until the eyes, from sheer neglect, can no longer do their work. Common Spectacles chosen at random, can do considerable damage to the eyesight; therefore, always visit a competent optician when you feel the need of spectacles, when you will have your eyes tested by scientific methods. 1 4 You Lose Notbj;~ £ as no charge is made for testing the sight; and if glasses are hot necessary you will be told so. Chidnen's Eyes should always be examined if they are at all dull or backward in learning, as this is frequently due to difficulty in seeing, and many a child,apparently dull-witted, becomes quick and bright after being fitted with proper glasses.

--------South Wales Coal TroubleI…
South Wales Coal Trouble Federation Meets at Cardiff Masters Reject Outside Interference, A meeting of the South Wales Miners' Federation was held at Cardiff on Mon- day, Mr. Wm. Abraham (Mabon), M.P., presiding, A letter was read from Mr. Dalziel, the secretary of the South Wales Coalowners' Association, refusing an application that the coalowners should receive a depu- tation from the Miners' Federation of Great Britain on the 60 Hours Clause of the Eight Hours Act. It was resolved that the coalowners' reply be sent to the secretary of the M.F.G.B. by, telegraph with a suggestion that a deputation should be in attendance at the meeting of the South Wales Miners' Federation on -Friday next prior to the meeting of the Conciliation Board; and if the deputation fail to get audience of the South Wales coalowners, the Fede- ration Executive be called to consider the general position of the South Wales miners. The position has arisen out of the decision of Mr. Lleufer Thomas, the Rhondda Stipendiary, on the operation of the 60 hours' test case. An application by Mr. John Williams, Merthyr, on behalf of the men employed at the Cyfarthfa Collieries, for permission to tender notices on the question of the Sunday night shift was ordered to be left in abeyance until the whole question is dealt with by the Conciliation Board. Messrs. Vernon Hartshorn, John Wil- liams (Merthyr), and Thomas Lucas were appointed delegates to attend the annual conference of the M.F.G.B. to be held at Newcastle-on-Tyne on the 5th of October and the four following days. We understand that the chief matters to be considered at the conference will be amendments in the Mines Regulation Acts, payments for travelling long dis- tances underground, a general minimum wage, the eviction of working men from their houses during trade disputes:, the appointment of additional mines inspec- tors, and the nationalisation of mines. The report of the Overtime Sub-Com- mittee of the Conciliation Board was sub- mitted, and in connection with this refer- ence was made to the recent circular issued to the coalowners, referring to the proposed serving of notices to the men on the 1st of October. No decision was come to, but the matter will further occupy the attention of the South Wales Miners' Federation at their meeting on Friday. At the general meeting of the Coal- owners' Association a fortnight ago, it was held that no good purpose could be served by receiving the deputation, as the question in dispute, although the owners had obtained judgment in favour of their contention, was still sub judice, as the Miners' Federation had appealed against the Rhondda Stipendiary's deci- sion. The appeal proceedings will probably be protracted, but every effort is being made to facilitate their progress, and the coal- owners have been assured that there is a likelihood the House of Lords' decision will be given probably next November.
Owners meet on Saturday.
Owners meet on Saturday. Among the questions to be considered at a meeting of the Coalowners' Associa- tion on Saturday next is to decide whether a special meeting of the Association shall be held before the expiration of the pre- sent month to decide whether, in view of the attitude of the workmen in regard to their obligation to facilitate the work- ing of the collieries, notices shall be given to the workmen at all the associated col- lieries on October 1st next to terminate their contracts, or whether, in the alter- native, those members of the Association, or any of them, who desire the intro- duction of an afternoon shifty and are unable to induce the workme'n to work the shift without the payment of six turns for five worked, shall be authorised to give notices to their workmen on October 1st to terminate their contractis. --+--
"Spoiling for a Fight."
"Spoiling for a Fight." Mr. T. Richards Declares battle Looming. Speaking at the annual demonstration of Rhymney miners at Bargoed on Mon- day, Mr. Tom Richards, M.P., general secretary of the South Wales Miners' Federation, said that the coalownere had issued a circular calling a mass meeting of the owners. That was a new depar- ture, but it showed to the world what they were going to do. It was the first time in the history of the coalowners of South Wales to attempt to show their hands. Tiley proposed to try to compel the South Wales miner to work an after- noon shift whether he liked it or not. Mr. Hann had said that the great machinery of the Powell Duffryn Com- pany's collieries should be kept going every day and every minute of the night, so that the Powell Duffryn could reap greater profit than they had in the past. They were prepared to allow men to work this disagreeable shift in circumstances and under certain conditions. This shift would prevent the workmen from taking part in religious, social, or political move- ments from January to December. If certain men were allowed to work this shift, five days a week would be enough, but the owners wanted them to work Saturday and Sunday nights. So far as he was concerned, he would not allow the miners to take that condition. If such unearthly hours were to be worked, the owners would have to pay for the working of five nights and not six. He asked whether the Powell Duffryn and various companies would lock their men out, having regard to the huge profits they- had made in the last few years? Shame on them if they allowed such companies to do anything of the kind! (Hear, hear). The workmen were not getting, what they ought to have, and if the coalowners were going to be mad enough-for it would be madness—to lock them out on such a trivial matter as this., they would start a fight in this coalfield which they would not quickly see the end of. The battle was looming; it was no good putting their heads in the sand. The owners were spoiling for a fight." But if this was forced on them no reasonable workman would submit to the terms, and every man should fight hand in hand (hear, hear).

Miss Hetha Richards at1 Llwynypia.
Miss Hetha Richards at 1 Llwynypia. Enjoyable Concert-Recital. A very large audience was attracted to the Primitive Methodist ChurchJ Llwyny- pia, on Monday evening, to hear Miss Hetha Richards give one of her incom- parable concert-recitals. This was Miss Richards' second visit to the locality, and word having gone forth of her powers on the last occasion, little persuasion was needed this year to dispose of tickets, of which a very large number was sold. Miss Richards opened her programme with an exquisite rendering of one of her own compositions, A Reverie," followed by a charming ballad, My Ain Folk." The Sea of Glass," effectively rendered by Mrs. R. Dallimore and Miss Elsie Farmer, afforded Miss Richards a breathing space, after which she treated the audience to The Story of the Priest Philemon," by Marie Corelli. After a rendering of Sweet Spirit, hear mv prayer," by Mr. Wallace Cox, Miss Richards contributed her famous poems of childhood, In a Garden (Swinburne), (b) Little Orphan Annie" (J. W. Riley), and (c) Youth's Limitations (Eugene Field). Her recital of the latter, with its formidable But Oi durs'nt in correct West Country accent, was exceedingly relished, as was also the recital of man's one hopeless task. The second part of the programme was equally interesting, comprising story and song. Crispin Capel's Wakening was really delicious, and conveyed a simple truth which was much relished by the ladies present. The Gates of the West," by Mrs. Dallimore, and a selection, Batiste's Andante in G," were other items deserving of mention. Miss Edith Farmer ably presided at the piano. Mr. S. Owen Edwards presided, and, together with the artiste, was accorded a warm vote of thanks at the close. Miss Richards also assisted in the harvest thanksgiving services at the same church on the previous Sunday.

Cut His Daughter's Throat
Cut His Daughter's Throat Sensational Affair at Tylorstown A sensational affair took place at Tylorstown in the early hours of Friday morning last, a young married man, named William Brooks, residing at Vivian Street, cutting his ten-year-old daughter's throat with a razor, and also inflicting a gash upon his own throat. After the deed, Brooks walked to Porth Police Station, and made the following state- ment to Sergeant Morris About 7 p.m. last night my wife left the house in, a temper. I went to bed, and woke up about 1 a.m., and went into the chil- dren's bedroom. I woke up Ivy (his daughter) and took the knife out of my pocket and cut her throat very deep. I then drew the knife across my own throat. I then thought I had done harm to my dear child. I went to the police station. I threw the knife away some- where under the bridge as I was coming down. I saw a constable here and told him all about it. All I have said now is quite right. I have done it, sergeant, and the child is worse than I am." In reply to a question as to whether he had been drinking, Brooks said: I have had a couple of pints. I thought it would be a lesson to her mother. I am very sorry; dear child." Brooks was charged at a special sitting of the Pontypridd Police Court on Friday with doing grieyous bodily harm to his daughter. Ö In reply, he said: I am very sorry; dear little child." In reply to the Stipendiary, Deputy Chief Constable Cole said that the little girl had a wound four inches long. Prisoner was then remanded in custody until Thursday.

A MANCHESTER WOMAN'S LONG…
A MANCHESTER WOMAN'S LONG PRAWN-OUT MISERY, Mis. Elizabeth Keate, of 1, Cotton Street, Newton Heath, Manchester, says: —" For 23 years I suffered from Eczema. It commenced with inflamed blotches of bright red circles of shall pimples, these" pimples itched and irritated ceaselessly. As fast as one lot died away others came' in their place, for 23 years I was never so long as a fortnight without pain. There was not a part of my body that was not from time to time subject to sores. I went to several hospitals, but failed to get relief. I went the round of doctors—none did me any good; at least three held out no hope of a cure as long as I lived. I could not bear the pain, it was so awful. One doctor told my husband erysipelas was likely to set in at any time and end my life. The first application of Cadum soothed me and stopped the itching and burning. In a week the decayed skin peeled off, and a new clean skin took ita place. My neighbours who knew of my condition, never seemed to tire of talking, about it." Cadum is a new medical dis- covery that stops irritation at once, and quickly cures Eczema, Psoriasis, Ring- worm, Scabies, Sores, Scaly Skin, Rash,. Pimples, Itch, Boils, Chafing^ &c.

A DOCTOR'S SURPRISE.
A DOCTOR'S SURPRISE. My baby, Bessie, was covered from head to feet with weeping eczema," saya Mrs. Bishop, of Burton Hill, Malmesbury.. The little dear's eyes were sealed up, blind for a whole month. The doctor. attended regularly for over three months, and every remedy that could be found was used, but the eczema continued increas- ing. At last I heard of Cadum. After I had used Cadum three timeei the weeping of the eczema ceased, and the sore coating came off like a linseed poultice. After a few weeks' use of Cadum the child had not a speck left on her. The doctor him- self said it was a wonderful cure." Cadum is a new medical discovery for the cure of all skin and scalp troubles. Trial box 6d., large box Is., all chemists.
A SENSE OF GRATITUDE.

For many years I suffered with chronic eczema, and had long given up hope of effecting a cure. I was advised by a chemist to try Cadum, with the happy result that the first appli- cation gave me decided relief and I am now completely cured." Cadum is specially recommended for eczema, psoriasis, ring- worm, scaly skin, rash, pimples, sores, eruptions, itching piles, chafings, &e. Trial box 6d., large box Is., all chemista.
A BAD CASE OF ECZEMA.
A BAD CASE OF ECZEMA. Mr. Harry Battersby, of 42, Hough Lane, Lower Broughton, Manchester, saya "For 27 years I was never free from the tortures of Eczema. When I was a little boy the outbreak was chiefly on the top of my head. In my seventh year it spread about my body and limbs in thick layers. The outbreaks were constantly following, one another, commencing with red pimples. Ten years ago I got into a dreadful state. I was too weak to walk, and had to be taken in to the hospital, where I lay for three months without being benefited. My appearance was so repulsive I was unable to get work. I was under the care of skin specialists, private doctors, and visited the hospitals. I despaired of ever getting cured until a friend who had been troubled with pimples told me he had been cured by Cadum. I bought a sixpenny box at the chemist's, and covered my face with it the first night. In the morning the inflammation had gone and the irritation had ceased. The sores began to gradually disappear, and the surface of corruption was scaling off. Within a month *my face was cleared of sores and was covered with a new skin. Cadum has changed my whole life by ridding me of a terrible dis- figurement." Trial box 6d., large box Is., all chemists, or Omega, Ltd., London, N.
DISFIGURED BY PIMPLES.
DISFIGURED BY PIMPLES. Mr. E. Lanceley, of Church Hotel, Stockport Road, Long,sight, says: "Red pimples, developed into running sores, covered my face and neck. I could not wear a collar and was so repulsive, my employer dare not let me be seen by the hotel visitors. The doctor lanced me in three places, and gave me ointments, but everything failed. Cadum took the heat out and put an end to the pain in one night. By the use of Cadum I was back at my work in ten days, with a clear skin without a speck on it."

THIRTY YEARS' TORTURE.,
THIRTY YEARS' TORTURE., Mrs. L. F. Raine, 4, Margaret Road, Whitley Bay, writes:—"It is now over 30 years ago that at the bridge of my nose appeared a small red spot. I went to a doctor, but in spite of his advice and directions, the spot began to spread. In the Hospital at Newcastle I underwent 204 X-ray operations without any good result; indeed my face became worse. Seven times I went under chloroform, my face being scraped, and the flesh on the nose, right down to the cartilage. After all this torture, the sores were still spreading and growing worse. One even- ing I saw a paragraph saying Cadum was good for skin diseases. I bought a 6d. box. Can I tell you how pleased I was to find some difference on the first day, after use? When I had used the boxful some of the sores on my face had ceased to spread, some even actually healing. Can I tell you my surprise when, what medical men had failed to do, what the spending of a hundred pounds could not give me, I iv-4 getting from a 6d. box- of Cadum."

ECZEMA CURED;
ECZEMA CURED; Mr. W. Barraclough, of 11, Peel Street, Bradford, says I was long attending at hospitals and under doctor's treatment for eczema in the hands, but every effort to give me relief was a failure. The skin on the backs of my hands from the tip of my fingers to above the wrists was a greyish-white with bad skin and watery matter beneath. After my long suffering and hopelessness I was astounded at the action of Cadum. It drew every bit of corruption out, and the decayed skin flaked off and left a new clear skin in a fortnight."
