HEARTS OF OAK SOCIETY.
HEARTS OF OAK SOCIETY. fl. DRAIN UPON SICK FUNDS. Sit the annual meeting of the delegates of the Hearte of Oak Benefit Society at the head- quarters, Enston-road, London, the Appeals Committee submitted a report in which they drew attention to the great difficulties they experience from time to time in dealing with! appeal cases, owing to the methods used by members in obtaining medical certificates. The members in obtaining medical certificates. The committee were of opinion that the time had arrived for the society to have at the offices a permanent medical officer. Mr. G. Belston (Bristol) said that their sick rate was increasing enormously, and a lot of this could be placed upon the medical profes- sion, the men who would give a certificate for sixpence. They must face the question, and see if they could not come to some arrangement for dealing with the men who were an everlasting drain upon the resources of the society. It wao agreed to refer the report back to the committee.
GOLDEN SYRUP.
GOLDEN SYRUP. The question of what is and what is not golden ayrup came up at the Guildhall Police- court, London, in the hearing of a charge against James Richard Erane for selling a. pennyworth of "golden syrup" which was adulterated with 50 percent. of glucose svrup. Mr. W. H. May, the inspector, answering Mr. F. W. Beck, for the defence, admitted that the article complained of was syrnp, and golden. Air, Beck: Now will you tell me why it is not golden syrup?—Because it contains glucose, which in the trade is called amber. You mean it might be sold as amber syrup, and not golden?—Yea. Then what is "golden syrup?"—It must be obtained from cane or beet. Dr. William Collingridge, medical oficer for the City, said that by "golden syrup" was understood syrup prepared from cane or beet augar only, without any admixture of glucose. Replying to Mr. Beck, the doctor said originally the term "golden" had relation to the colour) and was firot used on the introduction of the system of refi.ning treacle. Glucose was not necessarily unwholesome, but. there was always a possibility of it containing arsenic. He did not suggest that it did so in this case. Generally ap«akinr, glucose was ueed for purposes of adulteration. Mr. Beck denied that the article complained of was sold to the prejudice of the purchaser. The analyst's certificate gave no definition ol "golden syrup," and, he submitted, disclosed no OMncc. Ae to the general use of glucose in the manufacture of jam, etc., he could have called abundant evidence, but did not feel justified in advising his client to go to that expense. The Alderman: Will you recommend him, than, not to eell this mixture? Mr. Beck: I will certainly give him that advice rather than enter upon an expenaire inquiry. A fine of 20s. and costs was imposed.

Krepp«l said he ordered "cow heel" of the defendant Green, and did not know that it was horseflesh. He denied having ordered (fJo'kn- eon," or that he knew that was the for horseflesh in the trade. Charles Wright, carman and dealer in horseflesh, of Lower Edmonton, said he sold the meat in question to Green, and had delivered horseflesh there on five different occasions, and it was always taken in at the back entrance.

BULLDOG'S FATAL BLUNDER.
BULLDOG'S FATAL BLUNDER. A large and valuable bulldog, owned by an Eastbourne lady, has fallen a victim to its per- sistent antipathy to military music. As the men of the 3rd Sussex Regiment were marching along Terminus-road to the strain* of the band, the bulldog commenced a series of attacks on people by leaping at a little boy. it then seized a. police inspector by the trousers, attacked the trombone player in the band, rushed at a constable, and made an onslaught on soma little children. The policeman drew his truncheon and dealt the Bull-dog a heavy blow, which, however, oaly incited the bulldog to more farioas attacks.

THE BACKWANS YOU. !)'?.! ",Every Tells a BtofJ." i Do you suffer from shooting or continuous pains in the back ? Or from a heavy, dull, tired feeling, even when getting up in the morning Or is your head continually aching ? Or are you nervous, dizzy, with specks floating before your eyes, or ringing noises in your ears ? Is your appetite poor, or are you losing flesh ? Have you ever suspected your kidneys ? Sick or weak kidneys produce these symptoms. With every box of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills full information about kidney disease is given. URIC acid is a deadly poison which is produced in the human body, and which it is the constant duty of the kidneys to collect from the blood and to throw out of the system, together with other waste matters, in the urine. One way of discovering whether there is an excess of uric acid in your system is by examining the condition of your urine; for t often when there is an excess the uric acid will appear in it, looking very much like grains of cayenne pepper or atoms of red sand. Among the most disastrous results of an excess of uric acid in the system are the diseases known as stone in the kidney and bladder, and gravel. Also it is the presence of too much uric acid in the body that causes so much of the pain and suffering which are commonly put down under the general name of rheumatism. The only way to strike hard and truly at these diseases is to cure the cause of them, that is to say to cure the kidneys. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are a special kidney medicine, compounded of drugs which act directly and strongly and only on the kidneys. It is well to realise how much work the kidneys haye to do in order to keep the body free of uric acid, and how essential therefore it is to keep the kidneys well, strong, and in good working order. The kidneys are bean-shaped organs, comprised of numberless little tubes which are filters and pour their secretions into other tubes that). lead down into the bladder. It does not take much to set the kidneys back, and when they get behind in their work they are not able to right themselves without assistance. The uric acid and other waste matters collected from the blood immediately begin to clog the kidneys, causing that dull, heavy ache in the back, and those sharp twinges of pain when you stoop, bend, or are lifting anything. The uric acid crystallises in the muscles and joints so that every turn or twist brings the keenest torture; it attacks the nerves with neuralgia and sciatica; it is the cause of gout; and it brings on nervousness, dizziness, headache, tiredness, and various urinary disorders. If you suffer from any of these symptoms or diseases you should take Doan's Backache Kidney Pills at once. There is no other medicine so prompt and effective in curing these troubles. The reason why Doan's Pills are so prompt and efficacious in their action is simply that they cure the kidneys, and thus remedy the cause of your trouble.

HOLYWELL RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL.
HOLYWELL RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. The fortnightly meeting of this Council was held on Friday last, when there were present-Mr R. Lloyd Davies, vice-chairman, presiding, Mrs Johnson Jones, Messrs J. Petrie, Wm. C. Pickering, Edw, Jones (Whit- ford), E. Wynee, Edw. Jones (Gronant), Ed Evans, H. Powell, T. Humphreys, P. Evans, E. J. Gaskell, J. Matthews; clerk—Mr P. H. Roberts; assistant clerk-Mr W. H. Roberts surveyors-Mr E. Foulkes, Mold Mr J. M. Williams, Holyweil j inspector-Mr J. Philip Jones, HolywelL THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND' ROAD GRANTS. The Clerk, referring to the question ol grants in aid of the repair and steam rolling of district reads, stated he had written to the Clerk of the County Council enquiry whether the resolution respecting the non-payment of grants in aid was applicable to the whole of the county, and whether any grants for the current year have been granted in respect of other districts. In reply, the Clerk to the County Council stated the County Council had not passed any general resolution but referred all grants recommended by the Main Roads Committee, and refused grants re- commended by the Roads Committee for the current year.—Mr Petrie said he understood the motion not to pay any grants was defeated, and immediately after the Council agreed not to pay grants for this year.—The Clerk: The County Council it appears refused all grants recommended. A selection may have been made in which no recommendation was made. He thought it would be better to ask hai was the exact position.—Mr Petrie agreed that it was not a satisfactory reply.—The Clerk was desired to ask for further particulars —or particulars of grants the County Council are making. THE CHAIRMAN. A letter was read from Mr Wm. Roberts, Glanydon House, Mostyn, chairman of the Council, in which he acknowledged witrs sincere thanks the very kind vote of sympathy passed at the last meeting of the Council witn him in his indisposition. He was glad to say he was making steady progress and had felt < much better during the last few days.—The Chairman and Mr Pickering expressed the hope that Mr Roberts will soon recover, CROSSING THE STREAMS. The Surveyor referring to applications and suggestions made to bridge over several streams crossing roadways and at present forded, stated that to remedy one would be a precedent to do the same to a number of others. He did not see how the work could be done this year and recommended, as there was no urgency, that the estimate of the cost of the alterations be entered in next year's estimate.—The suggestion was agreed to. THE OLD BRIDGE AT YSCEIFIOG. The Surveyor reported that the repairs to the hand rail on one side of the old Woollen Factory, Ysceifiog, had been carried out. The opposite rail was in a dilapidated con- dition and it was advisable to have it repaired. —The suggestion was agreed to. LLANASA WATER SCHEME. The Inspector reported that the guaging of the water supply in Garth dingle for the past two weeks showed a yield of 27,574. gallons per 24 hours.—Mr Petrie suggested that to bring the matter to a head, the yield of the well at Ffynnongroew be guaged. The well was the main supply of Ffynnongroew and was capable of development, and he suggested if the well was improved and a service tank provided there would be a sufficiency for that part of the parish, and by that means Ffynnon- groew would be out of the area of population to be provided with water.—The Clerk re- marked that the suggestion made would provide for water for between 700 and 800 out of a population of 3000.—The suggestion was approved and referred for further enquiry and consideration. NEWMARKET IMPROVEMENTS. A communication was received from the Newmarket Parish Council requesting the District Council to carry out the improve- ment of the Newmarket village well, including increase of storeage capacity and the pro- vision of a pump; matters relating to drainage through the Vicarage field, in which the Ecclesiastical Commissioners were in- terested, and the cleaning and improvement of the village pool.—Mr E. Wynne supporting the application, said there was a bright future in store for Newmarket, and the desire of the Parish Council was to help forward the improvement of the village as much as possible without incurring any great expense on water and drainage. There was a sufficiency of water for the well not only to supplied the village, but was also the source of supply for part of the parish of Llanasa. It was the opinion that Llanasaparish should provide part of the cost of the extension of the store- age proposed. With regard to the drainage it was thought that the District Council could arrange that mutter in the most satisfactory manner. The pool, which was very useful to the inhabitants, required cleaning out and the work could be done at very slight cost.- The necessary consent to the carrying out ot the suggested improvements was unanimously given, and the Clerk was desired to obtain the permission to drain through the Vicarage field. THE CAERWYS CAMP. The Clerk submitted correspondence from the Military Authorities with regard to the encampment of Lancashire Territorials at Caerwys, in August next, and the provision of water to the camp, from the Caerwys water supply. The military authorities objected to the terms for water supply which they considered higher than was usually paid. It was decided that the charge be 7s. 6d. per 100 men pey day, and 15s. per 100 horses. SCHOOLS CLOSED. Intimation was received and the order confirmed for the closing of the Ffynnongroew Schools owing to the prevalence of measles. RESIGNATION OF DR. JAMES WILLIAMS, MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH. The Clerk read a letter from Dr. James Williams, Castle Hill, Holywell, in which he stated" I beg to resign my appointment as Medical Officer of Health for the Holywell Division of the Rural District of Holywell, which I have held since the Public Health Act, 1872, came into force. Let me take this opportunity of expressing my kind appreciation of your kindness always shown me during that lengthened period."—The Chairman said he was sure they were all sorry to receive the resignation of Dr. James Williams. With advancing years Dr. Williams felt he could not attend to the duties of the office in the manner he had done in the past. Ur. Wiliiams had been a most faithful officer to the Council. He did not think there was anyone in the Principality who was held in such high regard as Dr. James Williams.- Mr Hy. Powell was sure all would agree with those remarks. As one of the younger mem- bers of the Council he could tender his appreciation of Dr. Williams' service and nelpful experience and advice at all times. He was always looked upon as a highly respected gentleman and a conscientious official of the Council.—Mr Wm. C. Pickering said he would like to associate himself with the remarks made. When the) listened to the reports on various matters read by Dr. vVilliams, they felt they were worthy of being handed down to posterity. The reports were examples of sound knowledge and ripe ex- perience without any verbose matter. He was never afraid of hitting straight from the shoulder when right and proper. By Dr. Williams' resignation they lost a good officer, ind whoever follows him, if he can give satisfaction, will be lucky man. He tnought the Council should *senci a letter regretting his resignation from advancing years, and hoping he may be spared for years yet to enj y the rest he so richly deserves (heat, hear). Mr J. Petrie said he idd the Honour of Dr. James Williams' acquaintance for many years, and he always itld him in tne very nigaest respect. He could enaorse all that Mr Picsering and the ther gentlemen had said respecting him, and he itli tnat tue least they could do was to express their great regret as his resignation.— Mr Humphreys said he had had a good deal to do with Ur. Jas, Williams in the past in Bagillt, and he well remembered Dr Williams' solicitude and close attention to duty during periods of sickness in Bagillt. Hefdid more tnan his duty. During an epidemic he was there late and early, and rested not until the epidemic was stampted out.- The reiignation was accepted, and the Clerk, was desired to forward the expression of regret irom the Council to Dr. Williams.—The Clerk enquired if it was intended to direct him to take the necessary steps to advertise the vacancy, the salary 5 per annum to be the same.—The necessary instructions were given.—Mr Fowell proposed that the words "a knowledge of Welsh desirable" should be inserted in the advertisment. He thought it was essentially necessary in this case -Mr P. Evans considered the quali- fication should be stronger—that it should be put stronger—" a knowledge of Welsh essential."—Mr Wm. C. Pickering considered desirable was sufficient, and the advertis- ment was allowed to remain so. A CHEAP CONTRACT. One tender for the painting of stand-pipes within the district was received from Mr W. Hughes, Bagillt. It was stated that the contract price was 42 95. od., and there were 75 pumps and stand-pipes.—The tender was accepted.
