Since my children have been going to school, I have surtered untold misery on account of their heads. Do what I may, I could not keep them clean. I have cried myself to sleep at nights with the annoy- ance, but now I am quite happy. I use HAGON'S CLEANSER once a week- after their bath, and dip the brush in it when I dress their hair daily. There has been no more trouble, aud their hair is glossy and strong." My little girl has very fair hair, and was much troubled with nits, &c., but since using HAGON'S CLEANSER I have never seen any sign of live stock, and her hair is lovelv. GOLDEN HAIR "I have used HAGON'S CLEANSER con- stantly for my girls, and they now have beautiful golden hair in such great abun- dance that strangers stop in the street to admire them." My child's hair was dull and lifeless, but your HAGON'S CLEANSER has made it fresh, healthy, and curly." A A I r% SCRAGGY HAIR I have three children, two girls and a boy. The boy has strong, healthy hair always, but the two girls' hair used to come out combsful at a time, and what they kept was scraggy and weak. I have used HAGON'S CLEANSER for six months now, and their hair is much longer, stronger, and brighter. I could hardly have hoped for such success." "My children's hair was thin and poor- looking when I started using HAGON'S CLEANSER; now it is in excellent con- dition, long and strong. This is after three months. I used about a bottle a week." 1 would rather pay a sovereign a bottle than be compelled to do without HAGON'S CLEAN SER now." The cost is sixpence per bottle, by post for 9d., or two bottles by post for Is. 4ri. from the maker—Mr. HAGON, Chemist, Cardiff—but most Chemists sell HAGON'S CLEANSER." It only costs 6d. then—but be sure you get HAGON'S. Shams are hateful. Have the real thing, or none at all. Imitations are never satis- factory. Remember the name. HAGON'S.

FROM time to time we get Mabon, M.P. the news that the Tories intend to deprive our Mabon of the two letters which the miners of the Rhondda have appended to his name. The taking of Pretoria will be as nothing compared to the dreamy ambition of Tories to wrest the Rhondda seat from Mabon. The latest in the way of delusive triumphal march is the announcement that a certain Mr Frazer, agent of the Conservatives in South Glamor- gan, intends contesting the right of Rhondda miners-to be represented by one of their own kith and kin. We are delighted at the pros- pect of seeing a comedy played outside of the Theatre Royal, for a farce it must be. This gentleman, who has been commandeered by the Tory clique which arranges our represen- tation for us, is an absolute stranger to the valley, and a rank outlander in every essential of a Welsh colliers' representative. We do not take it seriously, for the comic elements in the adventure are too many. If Mr Frazer will take a word of advice from us he will stick to his agency at South Glamorgan. We mean to give him plenty to do to retain the seat for the genial Major when fighting against Mr Walter Morgan. He will find this gentle- man a foe of greater power than any former contestant which the Tories have found in his constituency. We know that Major Quin is a tine fellow, but his politics are i ot. The fact that the honourable member has gone to South Africa is not such an extraordinary display of patriotism as to submerge every other consideration of merit and suitability. As a soldier it was clearly his line of duty, and in this hour of our crisis not only soldiers but all patriots of good physical qualifications have felt it a duty to go to the field of battle. We do not think that such extraneous matter will be allowed to interpose between all electors and political judgment when the election comes. It will come soon, and sooner if our army made another brilliant 2oup at the front. Just now things are on the "damper" side, but we have every confidence in our generals. The intolerable phase of the whole matter is the vulgarly low-bred intention of making political capital out of khaki. When the election comes the Rhondda will await with great pleasure the presence of Mr Frazer | or any other foreign Tory nominee. The good times are now upon us, and circuses, clowns and acrobats, will just be to the Rhondda taste. MABON made some The Isolation pertinent remarks in his Hospital. speech at the laying of the foundation stone of the Isolation hospital last Saturday. The hospital he said, is not built to accommodate the rich, because they have frequently houses of such dimensions as to provide isolation for a fever patient under their own roofs. For the toiling thousands of the Rhondda Valleys, this hospital will prove a blessing. The man, woman, or child stricken with fever will have the attendance of not only qualified medical men, but of trained nurses and the latter assistance is often of more importance to a patient than any prescription supplied by a physician. The patient will be placed in such surroundings as will prove efficacious for his convalesence, Airy, well-ventilated rooms, the proper temperature for a particular case always maintained, regular application of medicine, suitable diet, peace and quiet—all these are among the benefits that the working classes will receive at the hands of the District Council. Many lives will be saved undoubt- edly by the superior treatment which the hospital will afford its inmates; but what shall we say of the gain in preservation of lives- by promptly removing cases of con- tagious diseases, such as typhoid, small pox, and the thousand and one ills which flesh is heir to? Whole streets have often &een a prey to a deadly fever, numbering scores among its victims. Had the first appearance of the disease been isolated, many valuable lives might have been saved. The world is progressing, and is beginning to see that the wretchedness of one human being affects the well-being and happiness, not of one village merely, but of the whole human race. IT is always possible to Income Tax appeal against an in- Assessment. come-tax assessment, but it is a dangerous game that may end in turning the tables. We are afraid that if incomes have a tendency to de- rease in the present year, the watch-dogs of the Exchequer will be growling around disturbing peaceful men of property. A few stubborn facts will be necessary ito provei the diminution that has come so opportunely on a rising income tax. We hope, however, that the Chancellor will not follow the example of the Berlin Tax Commissioners. They are something like grand inquisitors. A Berliner who is employed in bank or shop, or indeed, in any institution that posesses what they call a patron, must state how many times he has lunched or dined with his employer. These meals are assessed at so much, and their value added to his taxable income. This is really too bad. Imagine how it would spoil the pleasure of dining out if one had to keep a strict account of what one ate or drank, with a view to adding a sum to one's income tax. THE capture of the British Bad Convoy, at a point not very Scouting, distant from Bloemfontein, came upon the public mind as a steadying influence after our recent jubilia- tion of the triumphal march of Lord Roberts. It is not once or twice in the history of this war that the British army have been caught napping. According to experts, the fault is a weakness in our scouting. There is no getting over this fact. A German officer had written curiously enough on this matter before the disaster had been made known. He writes:— "It will be interesting for us soldiers to observe what tactical jessons will be learnt from this Roer warfare, which in some respects has been a revelation to all European armies. I am rather afraid that when the war is over some military wiseacres may arrive at the superficial conclusion thatJ tactics which answered under peculiar local conditions must hold good in all circumstances, and may urge the adoption of mere makeshift measures as a permanent and regular system. I would lay stress on one besetting sin of the British army which, after the cruel experience in South Africa, should be renounced for ever. I refer to the amazing neglect of what we Germans call the Sicherheitsdiemtj or scouting service, which comprises those duties that secure an army in campaign against ambuscades and sur- prises. In this country we can but regard as a grave scandal the carelessness in that important respect which prevails in the British army." Evidently, it is not the easiest of matters to convert our town-bred soldiers into efficient reliable scouts It is suggested that the best results in this department can best be attained by forming a corps of scouts, selecting men with these peculiar gifts about them. The safety of an army by previous knowledge of the country traversed is indispensable. There is one man at present in the British army specially distinguished for the position of teacher and trainer. The hero of Mafeking— Colonel Baden lowell-lias made this depart- ment a life study.
Pretty Wedding at Cwmparc.
Pretty Wedding at Cwmparc. REES—HUGHES A very pretty wedding was witnessed at Cw.nparc On Monday last, being that of Miss 1 :zie Hughes, Cwmparc, and Mr Robert xtees, Dumfries-street, Treorchy. The mar- riage was solemnized at Porth. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr W. Hughes, was attired in a costume of blue cloth, trimmed with white satin, and white hat to match. The bridesmaid was Miss E. A. Bumford, companion of the bride, and Mr < D. Evan acted as best man. In addition to ] these the following were present in the party ] —Miss M. Hughes, sister of the bride Misses I A. and Ruth Rees, sisters of the bridegroom 1 Mr Thomas Evans, Mr Lewis Oliver and Mr i John Rees. After the interesting ceremotiy j had been performed, the happy pair journeyed ( to Cardiff, there to spend the day. The bride A has been brought up in this neighbourhood ( and is highly respected by hosts of friends and i acquaintances. The bridegroom also has i made a large circle of friends at Cwmparc, he 1 heing employed there as well as being one of i the most prominent members of the Cwmparc r. Male Voice Party. We extend our hearty i good wishes to the young couple, and hope 1 their future will be bright and prosperous.

CYCLING AND CYCLISTS.
CYCLING AND CYCLISTS. BY "PEDALPHAST." Now that March and its boisterous blus- terings are fairly over, all devotees of the wheel are beginning to turn their thoughts to the Easter and its annual trip. That we shall get Easter in the usual course of the ecclesiastical year is a dead certainty, but the weather which will come with it is not such a certainty. However, we can only get ourselves in readiness and hope for the best. The weather being an unavoidable cir- cumstance, must be "taken as we find it, but in other respects every rider should see before hand that nothing is left undone that ought to have been done," to make his trip a success. To the cyclist who has not done any riding during the winter, the first consideration should be that of "con- dition." Let him see that he is in a fit condition to ride long distances. Don't think you are going to enjoy your Easter holiday on your machine if you are not fit. The best way of getting into form is to take a few short spins before hand and one or two longer ones. If this is not done lot the rider abandon all idea of enjoyment, for I venture to predict that the last state of that man will be worse than the first. Among the speedmen in the upper part of the Rhondda at least, great preparations are going on for the races which are* to be held on the occasion of the opening of the new cement track at Carmarthen on Easter Monday. This track, which is advertised as being the best in the kingdom, is a four- lap-to-the-mile one, is 25 feet wide'and is banked 8 feet at the corners. The cycling events are half, one, and mile amateur handicaps, a mile professional scratch, and two mile professional handicap. I am sure there is enough here to satisfy all the cyc- ling world. The doings of the Rhondda boys will be watched with a great deal of interest, and I trust some of them will be successful in bringing home the well-earned fruits of victory. It is just as well to warn them though that the tactics adopted at racing meetings in the Rhondda will not always be successful. You can't always arrange the winner before the race comes off. Everybody rides a bicycle now, or wants to. To those who are just setting out to learn I should like to call attention to Timothy's riding school at Ton. It is un- questionably one of the largest and most finely appointed riding schools in South Wales. The teachers are experts in tea- ching riding, and they have every appliance from a home-trainer to a track to assist them in their work. Those who wish to learn to ride quickly, gracefully and safely cannot do better than take a few lessons at this popular school. This is the season of the year when all and sundry cycle noters fill the columns at their disposal by tips, wise and otherwise. It is not my intention to thrust a lot of this sort of stuff at my readers, but I can- not refrain from giving just one little hint which I think most seasonable, and I do Eo because only recently a friend 'of mine would have saved himself a lot of ill temper and bad language had he but seen- to this. During the long winter's sleep to which cycles are nowadays subjected; the valve rubber always begins to show signs of neg- lect. So always examine your valve rub- ber before putting yourself to a lot of trou- ble finding punctures which you do not want to find. In many cases the cause of collapse of your inner tube is a defective valve rubber. I remember last August Bank Holiday a number of the members of the Treorchy District Cycling Club, or should J say the late club, went to Porth- cawl. Of coarse, the usual jolly day was spent, but when our friends began to pre- pare for the home journey, one of them found his back tyre sadly deflated. The pump was applied and the journey com- menced, but that tyre proved a constant source of worry. No puncture could be discovered, so at last our friend went to the trouble of removing the valve from one part of the tube to another in the hope that this would remedy matters. But after about an hour's work and fuss the tyre was as had as ever. This was a pretty fix to be in 30 miles from home and darkness setting in. The unfortunate one sat. down in utter despair and desolation. At last, by the merest chance, he thought of the valve tube. Here the defeat was discovered, and being soon remedied he went on his way rejoicing.

Porth Cottage Hospital. The balance sheet of the last fancy dress ball in aid of the Porth Cottage Hospital has just been issued, and from it we learn that a net profit of CI07 18s. 4d. was rea- lised, of which £100 has been handed over to the treasurer of the hospital. We are requested to state that the am- ount of C71 17s. 6d., which was acknow- ledged in our last issue, was forwarded by the Llwynypia Steam Coal workmen alone, and not as announced, by the Llwynypia Colliery workmen.
False Pretences at Treorchy.
False Pretences at Treorchy. At the Ton Police Court on Monday, Elizabeth Hannah James and Mary Ann James, sisters, living at Treorchy, were charged with obtaining by false pretences from the local Co-operative Stores, on the 21st ult., four pairs of boots, two pairs of stockings, and two isilk handkerchiefs valued at El 19s. 2d. Mary Ann was fined 20s., and Elizabeth 30s.
A Dangerous Practice.
A Dangerous Practice. Asleep in a Colliery. On Monday, at the Ton-Pentre Police Hourt (before Messrs Ignatius Williams, W. Morgan, E. H. Davies, and D. Thomas), Matthew H. Trembath, labourer at the Vlaindy Pit (Ocean), Pentre, was summoned 'or sleeping in his working place on the 4th nst. Mr James Phillips, Pontypridd, pro- secuted. The company wished to press the ;harge, it being stated that, the "practice vas a most dangerous one and likely to be- come prevalent owing to the prosperous imes and the increased wages earned by vorkmen." The defendant was employed jy night in the mine about 2,500 yards from :he bottom of the shaft. The fireman, Mr Phoinas Morgan, found him asleep about 40 fards from the spot where he had been put o vork, and his lamp had gone out. The leputy-fireman, David James, deposed to laving locked the defendant's lamp before ie started work. Defendant had told wit- ness that his lamp had gone out because here was no oil in it. He smelt strongly of Irink. Defendant admitted to the mana- ger having had three glasses of whisky just >efore going to work in the evening. He vas sent to gaol for two months with hard abour.
Wages Dispute at Evans * Short…
Wages Dispute at Evans Short s,Tonypandy An Amicable Settlement. We have been in fear and trembling for some weeks at the possible non-appearance of the "Rhondda Leader" this week owing to a, threatened strike on the part of the employees of Messrs Evans and Short, the printing contractors to the "Rhondda Lea- der" Company. We are happy to state that the danger has been averted. The workmen asked for an advance of two shil- lings per week, on the grounds that the compositors and machinemen at Newport, Cardiff and Pontypridd had recently ob- tained an advance. Messrs Evans and Short on the other hand, contended that they were now paying two shillings per week per man more than the other print- ing offices in the Rhondda Valleys, and that by conceding another two shillings they would be seriously handicapped in tender- ing for printing work. They therefore de- clined to give the advance asked for. The men gave in a fortnight's notice, which ex- pired on Saturday last. Failing to get their employees to withdraw their notices the employers engaged a new staff of men who were to commence duties last Monday On Saturday afternoon, however, Mr Skin- ner, Bristol, organiser of the Typographical Association for Wales and South of Eng land, and a deputation of the employees, met Messrs Evans and Short, and after a iengthy deliberation with proposals and counter proposals on either side, the fol- lowing arrangement was come to —The employers consent to give an immediate advance of one shilling per week; the As- sociation/on their part to use their best efforts with public elective bodies to insert the fair wage clause in all printing con- tracts as in all important towns, also to see the other employers in the valleys with a view to bringing the wages paid by them up to the amount paid by Messrs Evans and Short previous to the threatened strike, whereupon the latter would give a further advance of a shilling per week; the Typo- graphical Association to pay all expenses and any claims preferred by the new staff against the employers. The deputation requested the reinstatement of two men whom Messrs Evans and Short had dismis- sed for misconduct, but this application was refused but the demands of the men with regard to the rate of payment for overtime were acceded to. We understand that the Typographical Association intend waiting upon the Federation lodges and the secretaries of the friendly societies and churches in the district to ask their co- operation in supporting trades' union offi- ces, Messrs Evans and Short being the only office in the valley paying the association's recognised wage. It is hoped that the col- liers will not forget the Typographical As- sociation's efforts on their behalf during the late strike, they having contributed several substantial sums to the relief funds. The staff of the "Rhondda Leader," who were anticipating a long holiday, are dis- appointed, and will have to continue work- ing at high pressure as heretofore.
Presentation Meeting at Ton.
Presentation Meeting at Ton. Enthusiastic Gathering. The annual distribution of prizes in con- nection with the Pentre Higher Grade and Ton Board Schools was held on Thursday night at Hebron Baptist Chapel, Ton (which was kindly lent for the occasion). Prizes were awarded to successful scholars in moral and religious instruction, cookery, and evening continuation classes. The chair was occupied by the Rev. W. Lewis, R.D., who is also one of the foremost mem- bers of the Rhondda School Board. The sacred edifice was literally packed with an audience which showed an enthusiastic ap- preciation of education and of the impor- tance of educating the young. Appropriate addresses were delivered by the chairman. and the following gentlemen: -Mr W. Jen- kins, M.E. (Ocean), Cwmparc; Mr David Lloyd, Ystrad (two of the School Board members), Mr E. H. Davies, J.P., Mr Llew- ellyn Jones, headmaster of the Ystrad Organised Science School, and Mr David Thomas, Maindy Road, Ton. During the evening a choir of 400 children (from the three above-named schools), who were most ably conducted by Mr Rhys T. Jones, head- master of the Ton Boys' School, and Mr Howell Howells, headmaster of the Pentre Boys' School, gave very good renderings of the following hvmn tunes :—"Wells," "Pan Gilia'r Niwl," and "Haydn," and also "Rhy- felgyrch Cadben Morgan (Captain Morgan's March), and "God save the Queen." There was also a brilliantly executed pianoforte duet, "Poet and Peasant," by the Misses Ada Thomas and Sybil Jones, which evoked loud applause. The most important and pleasant task of the evening was discharged in the ablest manner by Mrs E. H. Davies, Brynheulog Pentre, (who distributed the prizes for knowledge in moral and religious subjects), Mrs Lewis, the Vicarage, Pentre (who distributed the prizes for proficiency in cooking), and Mrs Wight, Rhondda Rise, Gelli (who distributed the prizes for atten- dance at the evening continuation schools).
