Daniel Jenkins and John Phillips, of Gilgach Goch, were charged jointly with stealing 551bs. of brass, the property of the Britannic Merthyr Colliery Company, Gilfach Goch. John Jones, a rag and bone collector, was charged with receiving same, know- ing it to be stolen. John Shean, mechanic at the colliery, identified the brass, which he valued at L5 5s. 6(1., as having been stolen from the fitting shop at the colliery. P.C. Orowden said that on 25th October he saw Jones driving through Gilfach at a very rapid pace. Witness stopped him and found a quantity of brass concealed under some rags in his cart. P.S. George said that he searched Jones' cart and found the brass under- neath some rags. Defendant said that lie took it for old iron, and gave 38. for it to a man in Pritchard Street. Witness then went to Pritchard Street and arrested John Phillips 011 a charge of stealing a portion of the brass. Phillips declared that he found it on a tip. Later in the day, witness apprehended Jenkins, who, in reply to the charge, said that he did not steal the brass, but found it on the down tip at Clyclach Vale about four months ago. John Phillips, James Nash and Arthur John Morgan, Gilfach Goch, were charged with stealing a quantity of household and other articles, including blankets, plates, jelly moulders, jugs, lanterns, &c., to the value of L4 16s. Hd., from a camp on the mountain side near Clydach Vale. Henry Wm. Thomas, marine engineer, 69. High Street, Clydach Vale, identified some of the goods recovered, and produced a slate bearing the notice, No admit- tance except on business," which, he said, was posted outside the camp. P.S. George, Gilfach Goc., proved to recovering some of the stolen property at defendants' houses. In reply to the charge, defendants pleaded guilty. All five defendants were remanded in custody for a week. COLLIER-BOY NOT PAID. David Williams, a collier employed at the Lewis Merthyr Colliery, was sum- moned by William Ellis, collier-boy, for wages due. Mr. Stanley Jones, Ponty- pridd, appeared for plaintiff. Plaintiff said that lie worked 15 turns with defendant at 4s.. a day, and defen- dant left the colliery without paying him. A sum of Ll 9s. which the defendant had left at the colliery office had been paid over to plaintiff by the colliery company, and there was £1 lis. still owing. Defendant's landlady, who appeared in his absence, said that defendant was ready to pay the balance to the plaintiff as soon as he received his nexit pay. Judgment for plaintiff. SMASHED STREET LAMP. Wm. Trewman, timberman, Trebanog, was charged with wilful damage to street lamps. Mr. A. T. James, (Messrs. Mor- gan, Bruce, Nicholas, and James, Ponty- pridd) prosecuted for the Rhondda Urban District Council. P.C. Bumford said that from infor- mation received he went to Trebanog and saw a gang of men, all drunk. When they saw him coming they ran away. A boy informed him which of the men broke the lamp, and witness caught him. Two panes of glass were broken on the same lamp. Wm. Bayliss, schoolboy, said he saw defendant throw a stone at the lamp, which broke two panes of glass. A fine of 25s. was imposed. AFTER THE FLOOD. Edward Davies, Tonyrefail, summoned John Davies, a lodger, for assault. Mr. A. T. James, Pontypridd, defended. Complainant said that on 15th October the rain was coming into the house, and he was brushing it out, and in some way he annoyed defendant. Next morning he told the defendant that he (defendant) had been a bit nervous the night before, when defendant immediately knocked him almost senseless. Defendant said that on the morning of the 16th October he asked complainant what was the matter with him the night before, and complainant rushed at him, saying he would show him what was the matter, and hit him with a bellows, cut- ting his head. Complainant then caught hold of a chair to knock defendant, but defendant's brother came between them and caught the chair as it was descending. Edward Lloyd Davies, defendant's bro- thel", and George Piccerton, another lodger, corroborated. The case was dismissed.

A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY. ENTIRE FAMILY DERIVED BENE- FICIAL RESULTS. I am most thankful to say," writes Mrs. T. 1,. Willicott, of 27, Coedcae Street, Grange, Cardiff, that after using Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills I have found them to be a most excellent Family Medi- cine. This I have proved most conclusively from the fact <I J" j. tnat Dotn my tM 1 i daughter and y|||i|k\ son are taking |kI |\J|Ppr them with a ] K!l most beneficial TlUi Mgfil (\ effect. I have Pyjipi |vv7"5L H recommended li u! K W them to several r |! -A: of my friends jj/ who have tried V\| them, and, like f /'jSK I x. myself, com- 'J! v \Llx^ mend them with highpraise. You 0i may publish this rjil-yv i.\ if you think fit." In the best regu- lated families w the little ills of life will creep in. Some member of the family circle may occasionally suffer from Biliousness or Indigestion, and one of the other will from time to time exhibit the well-known symptoms of Constipation. From these little troubles most serious complaints arise, and should therefore not be neglected. The slight headache, bad breath, and a discoloured tongue are the index to a disordered stomach, and the necessity of keeping a safe, sure, and reliable remedy in the house is apparent. By I following such a course the more expensive method of calling in a doctor will be quite j unnecessary. Sold by Chemists and Stores, price 1/1J per bottle or The W. H.

Ton-Pentre Police Court. Monday.—Before the Stipendiary (Mr. D. Lleufer Thomas), Alderman E. H. Davies, Alderman Wm. Morgan, Messrs. Enoch Davies, W. T. Jones, J. D. Wil- liams, D. W. Davies, and R. S. Griffiths. A COSTLY RIDE. William Hughes, collier: Gelli, was fined 10s. for being drunk and disorderly, and 20s. for assaulting a tramcar conductor. Defendant said that he could not remember how he got on the car, nor what occurred on board. A SAILOR'S THEFT. William Owens, a seafaring man, was charged with stealing a watch, valued 10s., the property of Evan Jones, collier, 98, Regent Street, Treorchy. Prosecutor said that at 5 a.m.. on 29th October he hung his watch on a nail over the mantelpiece in the back kitchen at 98, Regent Street. At 3 p.m. the same day, the watch was missing. P.O. Cummings said that he saw pri- soner offering the watch for sale to two men at Williamstown. One of the men looked at it and handed it back to pri- soner. Witness then asked prisoner to see the watch, which he afterwards ad- 1 ,1 4"v/vn 0 Ti An c o o 4- lit? XlclAJL & (AS1XU* «• WV Treorchy. Prisoner was sent to three weeks' im- prisonment. BEER SELLING IN STREET. TREHERBERT PUBLICAN FINED £15. Roger Davies, licensee of the Royal Oak Hotel, Treherbert, was summoned for selling beer without a license. Mr. M. 1. Walters, Treherbert, defended. P.C. Edwin Williams said that at 7 p.m. on Saturday, 16th ult., he saw a, cart driven by a man named Thos. Foulkes, who was in defendant's employ, in Wyndham Street, Tynewydd. The cart contained a number of cases of flagons. Witness was standing in a dark, place, and when the cart came opposite him Foulkes was approached by a woman named Mrs. Roberts, who asked him in Welsh if he could spare a case. Foulkes said Yes," and got into the cart to get the case for her. When' he saw witness, he imme- diately put the case back, nodded to Mrs. Roberts, and drove up the street. Wit- ness pretended to go into a back lane, but emerged soon after, and saw the cart again at a standstill, and Mrs. Roberts talking to Foulkes. Witness went up in the shadow quite close to the cart, and saw Foulkes pull out a case, hand it to Mrs. Roberts, for which she paid. Wit- ness then stepped out, stopped Mrs. Roberts going away, and questioned Foulkes as to why he sold the beer to Mrs. Roberts, and he replied that he had an order for it. There was no label on the case- sold to Mrs. Roberts, continued witness, nor was there an entry in her favour on Foulkes' order book. Foulkes said that he had received an order on the previous day, but as it was so very rough, it had not been entered. Later in the evening, witness and P.S. Davies saw defendant, and advised him as to what had taken place. In reply, he said, He had no right to do it. I have told him he is only to supply from orders." As they were about to leave the house, Foulkes came in and said that he had a witness that he entered Mrs. Roberts' order. P.S. Davies corroborated. The defendant, in the box, said that his instructions to Foulkes were that he was not to sell beer on the road except to those who had given orders. Thos. Foulkes, defendant's carter, said that he received the order from Mrs. Roberts, but as the day was so wet he did not enter the orders until he reached home that evening. In entering them that evening from memory, he forgot Mrs. Roberts' order. Mrs. Roberts was a regular customer: Mrs. Roberts, 39, Brynwyfidham Street, Tynewydd, was the next to give evidence, and her answers were so unsatisfactory that she was ordered by the Stipendiary to stand down. The Bench held that the case had been made out. The defendant had been warned several times by the exciseman as to the manner in which Foulkes did his work, and he was still in his employ. A fine of L15 was imposed. COLLIER-BOY'S TROUBLE. Reginald Simmons, collier-boy, Gilfach Goch, sued Alf. Maggs, collier, with whom he had been employed, for £ 1 18s. 6d., monies due to him-for 11 days' work. Mr. W. P. Nicholas (Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, Nicholas, and James) appeared for plaintiff. Plaintiff said that defendant obtained the money from the colliery office and decamped with it. Judgment for plaintiff. ASSAULTED THE LANDLORD. John Thomas, Cwmparc, summoned Thomas Lloyd, a lodger in his house, for assault. Complainant said that on the 23rd October he had been out on business. When he came home he found defendant abusing his wife. Complainant told him to behave himself, and defendant retorted "You'll get the same,"and took his coat off to fight. He then rushed at com- plainant and kicked him severely on the leg, both falling to the ground. Complainant's wife and Mrs. Trott, a neighbour, corroborated. A tine or luis. was imposed. UNATTENDED HORSE. Thomas Jones was fined 15s. for leaving a horse unattended at Tonypandy.

The Secret of Skin-Healing. LATEST REVELATION OF SCIENCE. The mystery of the constant growth of new skin to replace that which is daily washed off has always been of absorbing interest. Probe that secret, and the cause might be discovered for those many skin diseases which, however much they may vary in intensity of irritation and disfigurement, all have one common peril of stopping Nature's function of growing new skin. It was a true understanding of the skin < that gave rise to the early Roman custom of regularly anointing the human body with certain herbal balms whose skin- reviving powers were as remarkable as their aroma, was rieh and pleasant. The Ancient Gladiators, too, regularly dressed < their skins with precious balms. Unfortunately, in recent years there have crept into use cheap ointments and salves which nearly always contain rancid animal fats and mineral poisons, too coarse to be absorbed by the minute pores or "breathing-holes" in the skin. Costly researches have, however, been made along new lines with a view to find- ing other natural means for keeping up that constant supply of new healthy { tissue which is absent when ulcers, pimples, or festering sores break out, Attention was drawn to the peculiar heal- ing properties possessed by certain rare herbs. When these herbs were scientifically treated they yielded rich juices which accounted for those wonderful powers. Steps were consequently taken to bring these juices to a high point of refinement ( and perfection, and to secure the right combination of them for human use. Eventually there was produced an entirely new substance called Zam-Buk, which on severe practical test was seen to be capable of both destroying germs and poisons lying beneath the skin-surface, and promoting the growth of new healthy skin on Nature's own lines. So powerful is this new preparation that long-standing cases of eczema, ulcers, bad legs, and poisoned wounds readily yield to its strange influence. This demanded the invention of delicate machinery whereby the balm, could be produced in large quan- tities and at a cost within the reach of the most modest purse. Zam-Buk then quickly came to the forefront as the world's greatest healer and skin-cure— the ideal finst-aid for which the mother in the home, the athlete in the field, and the bread-winner at his work had long been in real need. Thus this new balm, embodying the great secret of skin healing and contain- ing no rancid animal fat, was given to the public, who acclaimed it as an urgent necessity in every home.
