RUTHIN UNION RELIEF. Government Inspector and Liberal Guardians. Brabazon Scheme Praised. At the conclusion of the ordinary business of the Ruthin Board of Guardians on Monday, and reported in another C'du^nn, the members of the Board wre addressed by the Lucal Government Eo,.rd Inspector, Mr H ii Williams. Speaking in Welsh, Mr Williams said it was a great pleasure to him 'o attend that meeting, b cu-e ihe Rutniu Guar- dians carried on tiieir duties mOAt, satis- sctorily. There was no nonsense ab^n- their dsliberations, and everything went on in a business-like manner. In soid,, Boards the members talked [film early morning until late afternoon, and it afforded him all tho greater pleasure to be present at a meeting carried "n in 8uch a practical way as the one he nuw attended. | H went through the Workhouse a few mon,lis ago, and was satisfied because some of the suggestions he made Oil that occasion had been carried out, whiFt others would be; taken in band in the near future. He need not, therefore, refer to these matters-now. There was one matter, however, which re- aired attention, viz., the danger of overcrowding on th ■ wuo-en's side of the Workhouse. It would h-> wise fur the Guardians to consider the provision of larger accommodation, because when peopls outside discovered that the Work- in use was full, some would have no corn- junction in claiming out-r.jiief. knowing ti.at the Boird could not offer thein the the House. BEABAZ0N SCHEME PRAISED. A matter had been before the Board some time ago, to which he now desired to call attention, viz., the Braba.^on Employ- ment Scheme, which provided work for old. people in the workhouse. It grieved him very much to End in workhouses many old people-—male and female—who had been accustomed to work all their lives, but who, owing to illness or some other causei were unable to follow out-door or other pursuits connrcted with the workhouse. Their time hung heavily on their hands, iind the Braba/m Society undertook' to iind materials to provide light and easy work for such people, and the amusement Je- rived from such work made their lives much more comfortable (near, hear). The Society carried on its work in many "onions, and was thoroughly auccessful. lie might meution Holywell as au in- stance Some people seemed to be carried stway by the idea that the system competed with tradesmen and others outside the House, It did nothing of the kind. It was simply fancy work, )tid gave gre*t pleasure to old people. He di I not think the introduction of the system would cost 1 the Gaardinns one peony. The ludi members of thtj Society found the materials at their oven cost, and, if he understo id rightly, took all responsibility. There would be no trouble to the Guardians, and if the sama offer were made to the Ruthin Union he hoped the Board would accept it. In regard to the children, he was glad that arrangements were bèing made to feed them separately from the adults. This was a very important matter, and it would be well to keep the children as free I from the taint of pauperism as possible (hear, hear). If they slept separately, to feed them with adults would tend to undo I all the good influence exercised upon them. He was also extremely glad to find that the Guardians took trouble to send out the children to the services of respectable people. No doubt the general feeling was that the time was coming when not a single child would be found in workhouses (hear, hear), but in anticipation of that happy time the Guardians were adopting the most effective course possible to keep the children away from the union by I. entrusting them to employers who would take care of them, • INCREASE IN PAUPERISM. All he had said up to the present was complimentary to the board, but when he came to the statistics he was afraid that ) their position was not so satisfactory, In I other words, they were increasing and not decreasing in respect of pauperism and expenditure. Perhaps they had reasons I for this, but he frankly admitted that he knew of no reason for the increased cost of out-door relief. He found that the cost of in-door relief for the last year was some- what satisfactory, but in regard to out- door relief it had increased from 59 to I 5s 9-id per head of the population. The 2 reason for this was too much liberality in giving out-door relief. He did not mean I Guardians to be mean to those really in want, but care should be taken that none j but such people received assistance from f¡ the rates. It should not be forgotten that many people nowadays did not really know what modesty and shame was, and thought nothing of receiving relief when they did not want it. In Ruthin Union the percentage of pauperism to population had in five years increased from 33 to Ð5. He had other Unions similar to Ruthin in almot all respects —Tregaran for instance—where the per- centage tor the period named had de- creased. There it was 20, whereas it bed reached 35 in Ruthin. The Inspector concluded by saying that he hoped to meet them again on many occasions, notwith- standing the rumours that Boards or Guardians were to be done away witn (laughter). He did not think that would occur, at any rate, for some considerable time to come (applause). CRITICISM DISCUSSED. The Chairman, having invited discussion, Mr William Jones (Glasfryu) said the Guardians had been most careful in regard to out-door relief, but there was one improvement be should like to see brought about. The Relieving Officers were often 0 compelled to give relief in certain cases before consulting the Board, and in r-gard to such cases there ought to be better understanding between the Relieving Officers and the Medical Officer of the Union. At any rate, they ought to be in closer touch with one another. But so far as the cases that came before the Board were concerned, he could assure the Inspector that each and every one was looked in the face, and not a shilling was J voted unless the circumstances were ] thought to justify -he expenditure (hear, hear). As to the Brubazon System, its I adoption was defeated by a small majority I only, and perhaps F would be introduced at tho npxt opportunity. The Chairman (Mr J H Simon) ad- I mitted tint the House, un the women's ) side, was pretty full but the question of prviding further accommodation bad been considered and an architec'. consulted. He prepared plans tli- carrying out of which would have incurred an expenditure of I £ 600, and this the Board did not fed justified in doing, especially at the present time, when the r.-ites we", so high. As to the Brab».zon system, he migbl explain that in about six weeks after its rejection, the Board gave permission to a Com- I mittee of ladies to provide the inmates of the House with materials and work. In regard to out-relief, he believed it better to he a iittlo too Vba*al thai-i too mean. H" had held ibis opinion ever since he became a member ,f the Board thirteen or L fourteau years ago. Mr T 0 T,; 1?-3 ;Nantclwyd) doubted whether the Guardians knew ail that could be learnt of the history of tho paupers in their own particular parishes or district. The member^ of the Board were ail busy people, and wished to go tlnough tli relief lists as quickly as possible. He thought it would be wise that the Guardians repre- senting two or three parishes should have a conference with the Relieving Officers I and go minutely into every case and pos- sess themselves of all the facts. Some Guardians, and Mr John Edwards, Llan-- bedr, was one, knew everything about the circumstances of the paupers in their parishes (hear, hear), but in Lianarmon and other districts the Guardians knew but little about some cases. Winter was approaching, and the Guardians ought to get aU the information possible about the p-iupers on their list. He intended to give notice of motion on the lines be now suggested. The Chairman: You have just mentioned Mr John Evans, But Mr Evans has practically no paupers in his parish. Mr Evans Yery.few indeed. The Ohairmu: And Lianarmon is a very poor locality. I sympathise with the representatives of the parish. They have some very keen ;nepers [laughter). The Inspector aahl tie was glad to hear Mr Jones makii.g the suggestion he did. There w.»3 a tendency to ask the guardian for a particulnr parish to take all the res- ponsibility with regard to pauperism in his district. It should be entirely so, because n z, a guardian for seme reason or other might favour a paupe: or go against him. In I many unions there were cross-couimittees which, he thought did good w:)rk in find- ing out the real circumstances of the Mr R H .djo agreed with Mr Mr Jones'suggestion. It would be well, in his opinion, to act upon it before the approach uf winter. Mr Robert. Jones resented the references made to Lianarmon. Paupers in receipt of relief there were quite worthy of it. Air William Davies (Derwen) incident- ally remarked that his parish hud only three p.-tui,ers-all old wonjeii-ana, as far as he wad aware, no favouritism or antagonism was stio,vi. with regard to any case. Mr John Evans said there w?re but few cases in Llanbedr, but when he desired to increaee the relief even by 6d it was a hard job to get it (laughter). This concluded the discussion, and the Inspector was heartily thanked for his presence and suggestive address.

THE TIME TEST IN BANGOR, When good fortune comes to us, we are apt to ask "How long will it last? Here is a striking example of permanent good fortune in Bangor. Mrs. E. Edmund.1?, 10, Garden-square, Bangor, says :For many years I suffered with my head and palpitation of the heart; when I got up in the mornings there was a dull, heavy pain at the back of my head, which troubled me all the day. The least exertion made me come over so dizzy that I had to tako hold of something for support. As time went on I geer-,od to got worse, and at last I became reduced to a low and weak state. J I had doctor's treatment, and took different medicines, but nothing helped me so much as Doan's backache kidney pills did. A few doses of these pills convinced me that I had got the right medicine at last, for I felt much easier. I went on with the pills, and gradually they brought me back to health. You ara welcome to publish this, for the sake of others. (Signed) Eilen Edmunds." Over o years after we received the above statement Mrs. Edmunds told a representa- tive of curs that she had enjoyed good bealth ever since Doan's piil-3 cured her, adding I "I can heartily confirm all I said for Doan's pills some years, for I have never suffered like I used tc since I tC.Jk the medicine." If you neglect tile kidneys, you will suffer from Dropsy, or Stone, or Gravel, or Urinary Troubles, or Rheumatism, or one of the many other terrible results of kidney disease. Doan's Backache K'dney Pills act directly and effectively on the kidneys, curing them when diseased and strengthetJing them when vreak. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shill- ings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence). Of all cheats and stores, or post flee, direct from Eoster-McOlellan Co., 8, Wells-street, Oxford- street, Lcndoa, W. Be sure you get exactly the same kind of pills that Mrs. Edmunda had

GROUPED SCHOOL MANAGERS. Pleaching Meetings, etc.: Effect on tttendanoo. The monthly meeting ot the Governors of the Grouped Schools of the Ruthin district was held in the Couneil Chamber on Monday, when there were present Mr E W Thomas, Bryneglwys (presiding), the Revs Dafydd Jones, Ruthin G W the Revs Dafydd Jones, Ruthin G W Richards, Liinarniom James Richards, Gyffylliog Messrs J Jones, Clocaeneg David Roberts, Llanelidan Mrs Hughes, Station House; with the clerk (Mr Ezra Roberts) and the attendance officer (Mr R R Griffiths). I VISITORS FROM AMERICA. The Clerk submitted a letter to the effect that the whole of the Managers had been elected to the General Committee appointed to make arrangements for the reception of the American and Canadian teachers who are to visit this country. A question was asked as to whether membership of this General Committee membership of this General Committee would entail any expenditure, and the Clerk explained that it was a matter of voluntary subscription. Further informa- I tion might be obtained from Mr A Fcnlkes Roberts, Denbigh. IN CASE OF FIRE. Some discussion followed the reading of a circular letter from the Board of Education, which urged that the outer doors of schools should never be locked during school hours, and that all school doors should be made to swing outwards. This latter provision, it was stated, would be insisted upon in the case of all doors at the foot of flights of stairs. On the motion of Mrs Hughes, it was decided that teachers should be urged to keep outer doors open, and that the school visitors in each district should inspect and report on this subject generally. LAVATORY ACGO M MODATIOIN-. The Buildings Committee of the Ccnnty Authority had considered the necessity ¡ of providing lavatories at Clocaenog and Ll-.ngynhafa] Schools, aud had paused a resolution referring the matter to the respec- tive district managers, with power ta act, Tht Clerk now reported that the visitors had taken the matter in hand at Clocaenog and at Llangynhafal, it would receive early L attention, It was further reported that a new lavatory had been built at Derwen School. PROPOSED GRAlANREITD SCHOOL. The report of the joint committee ap- pointed to investigate this matter had been presented to the buildings' committee of the Coun y Authority who had d cided that the consideration of ibe subject be deferred, and that the education committee ba recomeuendtd. to appoint Messrs El ward Roberts, Joseph Wileoxon, J Stephen Jones, W C Dodd, and Colonel Sandbach, a special committee to hold a lcc d inquiry into the matter. ATTENDANCE PERCENTAGE. The County Committee, in forwarding the attendance statistics for the hall year, pointed to the fact that in the Ruthin district there had beeu a decrease of one per cent. as compared with the previous six months, and expressed a hope that the managers would makejeverypff ort to increase the percentage during the current half-year. The school attendance officer (Mr It R Griffiths) made a long statement to the meeting in which he attributed this decline to various cau-es, viz., ilinesp, distance from many of the homes to the schools, and climatic condition. He wished to make it clear that these were the aclmil causes, and that the falling away wus not due to any apathy on his part. He emphasised at considerable length the dillicultiis of the wide and rugged district he has to cover. The meeting considered the explanation of the falling (ff sat;sf,)ctory :In its main features, and instructed that the attendance officer's report, which contained certain suggestions for an improvement, should be forwarded to the county committee. A WAIL FROM LLANARMON. The following pointed communication was received from Mr ti Morgan, head- master of the Lianarmon school :— 11 had to close the echool (n Monday, Only 21 children had mustered at ten o'clock. A great number had gooe to the singiog festival at Llangollen, and rumour had been very busy spreading the news tint there would be no school on Monday owing to the festival. This LIse news kt-p; the rest away from school. What with the multiplicity of preaching meetings, and Sunday School excursions, and thanks- giving meetings, coupled with the com- motion regarding the building of a school at Graianrhyd, plus the situation of the school and the extraordinary caprice of the weather, this school is more heavily handicapped in every pos- sible way than any ottier school in the country. What is to be done ? :1 The Clerk said the multiplicity of preaching meetings had been inquired into two years ago, and the local organisers were asked to try and act jointly in the matter of meetings, excursions, etc. The difficulty had atone time been equally keen at Ruthin, but it hnd been solved n this way. TENDERS FOR COAL. A small committee, consisting of the school visitors residing in Ruthin, was appointed to go through the tenders for coal, when received, and to report to the next meeting.

Welsh Industries Exhibition I LADY NAYLOR LEYLAND PERFORMS OPENING CEREMONY. The Welsh Industries Association's | Exhibition at Llandudno wa > concluded on Saturday night, and turned out to be A success in all respects. The exhibition was opened by Lady Naylor Leyland, of Nantclwyd Hill, Ruthin, to whom a choice bouquet was presented by Miss Sarah Marks,, daughter I of Mr James Marks, the hon secretary. On the platform were Colonel II Lloyd Mostyn, who presided, the Ven Arch- deacon Evans, Mrs Helme, Lady Wyndbam Quin, the Hon Mary Hughes (Ivinmel), Mr Marks, Mr W H Joi,es, chairman of the Council, and Mr J A ley Wells. The Chairman said the exhibition had been an unqualified success, and, when the local committee had paid their way out of the sum received for admission, the bald!.c-j would be devoted to local charities (applause). They were all very much indebted to Lady Naylor Leyland, who had motored over from Nantclwyd that afternoon to declare the exhibition open. On three separate, occasions she had lent hor house in London for similar exhibitions, and owing to her interest and energy they had been very successful (applause). Lady Naylor Leyland then declared the exhibition open, saying she hoped the last day would be as great a success as the preceding d?ys had been (loud applause). Archdeacon Evans proposed a rote of Sbaiiks to her ladyship, and went on to suggest that the \V;.lsh pecole, of all !"ank. should do their shopping at home. There was plenty of everything to he found iu Wales, quite up to anything that could be found in England (.ippkus-). Why should Welsh people > to Halifax (laughter) and tu o; o r d for their linseys and wolseys, and their fkimels ami stockings, when thty had plen'y of the best, of these thing- in Wales 'I (applause), He hoped that the exhibitions of this association would have the eff ct. of getting the Welsh people to patronise I the industries of their own cou itry, the A went on to say that there was industry in Wales tfiat th?y were in | lange:- of losing—and that was the Welsh la iguage and the industry it created. He bad tried all the ladies m Welsh costume; with their tall hats, by asking them the J price of things in Welsh, and not half-a- dozen of tbetn could answer him that language (laughter). Let tnam remember tho old language—tha language it was said of the garden of Eden 'laughter). The very names of Abel and Cain showed that it was existing in their day. Th'3 tall hats would nut retain the Iaogn»ge, but the Welsh brains underneath the tali bats would do it if they wo oil try (applause), Mr J Adey Wrells, who said he was a on squatter of many years standing il "hat delightful part ot the Empire, seconded the vote of thanks, which was carried by acclamation. Mrs Helme. moved » vote of thanks tc Col Lloyd Mostyn and tho other Llandudnc friends who had shown kindness and hospitality to the members of the Associa- tion during the The Hon Mary Hughes seconded the motion, which was also carried amid applause The s-de was th. n prc-jtoded with, Lady Naylor Leyhr-1 setting the example by making to a: of tho -3 tails. There was a large audience r.reseut, and the attendance was good until the closj. The amount received it the door during the last three days amounted to and for the odes in the competitive section £ 114. The not proceeds from the tea- rooms amounted to and the total sales at ti e cor.n y stalls were considered verj satisfactory.

REAL TPOTTBLE. Real trouble seldom fails to call forth real helpfulness and plenty of it. Some of it may be blundering in expression, but at least it is warm-herirteu and eager. Let it be certainly known in any community that a larder is empty with no means of replenishing, that there is scant money with which to lay away the prc- cious dead, that tho sick need delicacies that cannot be furnished, and aid will be swift and abundant. The world is not too busy to minister fat actual need, but it has little patience with imagicarv woes, ajwl no time to stop and weep with those who ought to get up and work. It is chiefly this latter class, those who arc deyoting themselves to bemoaning their own hardships and pri- I who have discovered that this is a cold and heartless world.
