r "Therefore strongest." \1 I C<90B0R V'S cocoa HOW TO MAKE SURE OF PURE COCOA. No cocoa is pure which contains substances not naturally present in the Cocoa Bean. Many of the so-called cocoas now on sale are merely cocoa preparations, containing additions of such things as skimmed milk, starch, sugar, hops, etc., which lessen the quality of cocoa, and therefore give an inferior beverage. To make sure of obtaining pure cocoa, ask for and see that you get Cadbury's." Cocoa is strongest when pure, and in its natural state contains all the elements necessary for fjhysical well being. Cadbury's cocoa is abso- utely pure, and contains no added ingredient* whatever. There is no cocoa so easy of digestion and ualofiatton as Cadbury's cocoa.

Football. TREHERBERT v. CANTON. Tliese teams met each other at Treher- bert in very cold weather. Pole started for Treherbert 30 minutes late, and the homesters made for the line, cnly to be awarded a minor. After a round of passing, Harding crossed, only to be called back for a forward pass. Canton showed improved form, and got beyond half-way for the first time. Fitz- gerald sent them back, and play settled in the visitors' territory. The homesters forced another minor. Led by Kirkhouse, the home forwards broke away finely, and would have scored, but Harding saved by kicking into touch. At the restart, the homesters opened out the play, but Jenkins brought relief. Coleman headed a fine rush for the Can- ton 25" line. Davies set his backs in motion, but Carlin was grassed before he could pass the ball. At this point of the game it was impossible to distinguish the various players on account of darkness which had set in. The game was con- cluded in a pointless draw. Final score: G. T. Pts. Treherberfc 0 0 0 Canton 0 0 0 LLWYNYPIA JUNIORS v. TREORCHY JUNIORS. Played at the Griffin Park, Pentre. Llwynypia pressed at the start, and after ten minutes' play M. Evans dropped a goal. In the second half the visitors excelled themselves, and tries were scored by Tom Howells, Piper, and Pinkham. Mog Evans converted the last. Final score: G. T. Pts. Llwynypia Juniors 2* 2 15 Treorchy Juniors 0 0 0 One dropped. PENYGRAIG v. CROSS KEYS. Owing to an unfortunate mishap, Fri- day night's storm having blown down the fence of the Belle Vue Grounds, the Penygraig Club had to wire at 8 a.m. to Cross Keys abandoning the match. Un- fortunately, however, the Cross Keys team had started just before the wire arrived, and came to the Rhondda. But, of course, it was impossible to play the match. -+- GELLI ALEXANDRA v. ABER- GWYNFI. This match was abandoned, as Aber- gwynfi did not turn up. TREORCHY LADS v. TONYPANDY BOSWICKS. At the Partridge Grounds on Saturday last, in miserable weather, before a fair attendance. The teams lined out as fol- lows —Tonypandy Back, D. Williams; three-quarter backs, W. Rees, D. Cooper, W. Hinton and M. Rowlands; half-backs, C. Evans and Dai Owen; forwards, Dai Davies (capt.), Dai Evans, E. Parry, D. Rogers, S. Davies, CI Horrigan, E. Phil- lips and J. Kensey. Treorchy: Back, E. C. Wyers; three-quarter backs, W. Evans, W. Morris, J. Schofield and Tom Wild; half-backs, J. and W. Jones; for- wards, L. Lewis, J. Bond, A. Reynolds, W. H. Jones, Jeremiah, Will Reynolds, R. Williams and J. Davies. The visitors kicked off, the ball going to D. Williams, who found touch. From the line-out, Treorchy had the best of the game, and were a great source of danger to the home line. From a scrum the visitors attempted a. drop goal, but only a minor resulted. After the kick- out the homesters revived, and made sharp attacks in the visitors' half. Mac Rowlands, who was playing an excellent game for the homesters, saved a, try by overtaking the opposing wing. From an- other serum Charles Evans had the ball, and making a run, passed to Dai Owen, who in turn passed to Rowlands, who made a bold attempt at scoring. The interval arrived with both sides on equal terms. Dai Davies restarted for the homesters, the visitors making a feeble return, and a scrum was formed in the visitors' 25." The homesters kept the visitors in check for some time. T. Davies picked up the ball in the open and made a rush, but unfortunately ran into touch. From the next scrum Dai Owen obtained the ball and passed to Mac Rowlands, who took the ball in fine style and scored a good try. The kick at goal, however, failed The visitors renewed their efforts, and succeeded in reaching the home 25," but were driven back by Dick Cooper. From the line-out Dai Davies and E. Parry dribbled up the field, but were held up five yards from the line. Tre- orchy played a most, determined game, and although they had three points against them, they were not disheartened. The visitors in their turn tried a round of passing, but were intercepted by Row- lands, who kicked to touch. Time was called, leaving the homesters winners. Final score: G. T. Pts. Tonypandy Boswioks 0 1 3 Treorchy Lads 0 0 0 MERTHYR VALE: v. CWMPARC. Cwmparc went to Merthyr Vale on Saturday last to play in the third round of the Welsh Junior Cup. They were unable to command the services of three of their best players in Richards, Jim Jenkins and Will J ones, and fielded a coimparatively weak team. The ground was in a very bad state, and as Merthyr Vale were man for man much older and heavier than the visitors, they were able to bring off concerted rushes in the mud. The final score was 4 goals—nil in favour of Merthyr Vale, but there was not much superiority in their play. Cwmparc had distinct hard lines on several occasions, good shots repeatedly just, missing the desired haven. On a dry ground Cwm- paro would have well held their own. Final score: Goals.

St. Andrew's Church Sunday .School Teacher's Quarterly Meeting. Presentations at the Parish Hall. The quarterly meeting of the St. Andrew's Parish Church Sunday Schools, Llwynypia, was held at the Church Hall on Monday evening. After partaking of OrV, a splendid repast provided by the St. Andrew's Sunday School teachers, the Vicar (Rev. R. W. Evans) presided at the meeting, and at the outset an in- teresting event took place, when Miss E. A. Thomas (Mrs. Walters), on the occasion of her marriage to the Rev. L. H. Walters (curate of Aberavon), was made the recipient of a handsome solid oak lady's writing case, beautifully polished, bearing the initials E.A.W." engraved on the plate, a gift of the St. Andrew's Sunday School teachers, choir and friends also a Bible by the Sunday School children. The Vicar was pleased to find so many present at such a pleasant function, to honour one of the best workers in the parish. He grudged parting with such a great worker, it being difficult to find such in the vineyard of Christ to, take the part she tried and did so well. He wished Mr. and Mrs. Walters every blessing that the Almighty might bestow upon them, and trusted that their labour would not be in vain. Mr. James Jones, Ynyscynon, being one of the oldest and most energetic workers in the parish, was called upon to make the presentation, .and in a very able speech expressed his pleasure at making the testimonial. Mrs. Walters had been a faithful friend to the Sunday School children in this place, where he had been brought in contact with her in teaching, and the acquaintance also took place while working for Dewi Sant Church. He had seen a great many teachers come and go, but Mrs. Walters had been the only one that had lasted him out in the Church. There were times when we were quite unable to do justice in speaking of the excellent work done in this place. Not that Mrs. Wal- ters was a genius in any particular point, although when called upon she invariably filled any position with excellence, and no doubt she would make an excellent housewife. Her faithfulness to Church work was remarkable. Year in and year out, in all climates, Mrs. Walters was to be found in her place and was a pat- tern to follow by her diligence and at- tention to her class. Mr. Walters also was not a stranger in the parish, and his good work begun at St. Barnabas had brought its fruitful results. He felt sure Mrs. Walters would be a good helpmate in Aberavon parish, and in concluding, asked her to accept the gift as a token for services and work for so many years. Miss Davidson then presented the Bible, the gift of the children. Mr. J. R. Jones (treasurer of the school) also spoke of the good qualities of Mrs. Walters. Mr. and Mrs. Walters, in responding, thanked the members of the Sunday School for their kind feeling towards them in their new sphere of work at Aberavon, and would always look upon the presents as a lasting memory. As a reward for the faithful services rendered at the Llwynypia Infant Sun- day School, Miss Alice Norton, who is leaving the parish, was also presented with a valuable Bible (by one of the teachers, in the absence of the superin- tendent, Mr. J. P. Kent.) as a small mark of respect she was held in by her co- workers for her untiring energy and self- sacrifice to the duties she so willingly undertook at the school and her readi- ness to assist in any movement to fur- ther the advancement of the class she so ably presided over.

Why Tonypandy is Encouraged. Again this week we are able to give a local resident's hearty endorsement of what was aid many months ago. Such indisputable proof brings hope to every man and woman here in Tonypandy. Mr. G. Jenkins, 66, Berw Road; Ponty- pridd, says —" I am never without Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and I am still of the same opinion as I was when I first used them—that they are a splendid medicine for the kidneys. I continue to recommend them far and wide." Six years ago, Mr. Jenkins made the following statement, telling of his eXi- perience with Doan's Backache Kidney Pills: For years I was a sufferer with kidney disease; there were such dreadful pains in my back that at times I was unable to work. I also- suffered with serious urinary disorders-tho kidney secretions were scanty and painful and contained gravel. At last I got so bad that I was afraid I should have to undergo an operation. I was treated by the doctor, and tried different things, but it was not until I started taking Doan's Backache Kidney Pills that I made any headway toward recovery. These pills picked me up won- derfully, and soon I had lost the pains. It was not long before I was quite free from every sign of the kidney complaint. I cannot sneak too highly of Doan's pills. (Signed) G. Jenkins." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence).

Cigarette Papers. The Foolishness of Dying. I remember writing something last week about the health properties of whistling under certain circumstances That which I wrote has, EO I understand, been received in many quarters with a certain degree of scepticism; indeed, one correspondent has gone so far as to sug- gest that I should hire his services for a stipulated sum per week as a whistler. From certain sure" information which has received, he is fully convinced that what I need the most is a kind of medi- cine, and this he promises to give me in small doses—in short, bouts of whistling. Before I go any further, let me assure my kind-hearted correspondent that I am in the best of health, and at present I need no medicine of any sort. However, I will proceed. I thought, when I wrote that column last week that it would open the eyes of many people, and in that I was not, wrong. However, this week I promise to give them something more startling still, as you may guess from the heading of this column; and that is that anyone who aspires to live to a good old age, may do so without the least encumbrance. I see that some well- informed person, who signs himself Cornwall Rpund," has just issued a booklet with the, very suggestive and fascinating title, "Why Die?" In this mysterious booklet the author claims to have discovered the secret of perpetual life. I, in common with other old- fashioned people, had somehow cherished the belief that perpetual life was the reward in the great hereafter of a devout and well-spent life in this world of sin and temptation. But, in this belief, as in many other beliefs, it seems that I and the other people have been wrong, and that the great delights of living for ever may be obtained by fulfilling certain forms, and obeying certain instructions. This, I must confess, has bewildered me to a considerable extent; and having a great liking for the present, form of existence, and desiring to prolong that existence as far as it in me lies, I do not promise but that I may some fine day try to put these instructions into action. I daresay that many of my readers have been acquainted at one time or another with the theory tha,t such a thing as pain does not exist. Indeed, it is only recently that an "American lady pro- claimed in the heart of London that such a thing as pain was non-existent. In the lady's words, it was a delusion, and she sought to illustrate her theory by certain hints a-bolut dead men and cold-catching. I hold no brief for the American lady; I do not associate myself with her way of thinking; indeed, I entertain very defi- nite and strong opinions about the pre- sence of pain, and a certain corn which I have in the neighbourhood of one of my toes, goes to enforce that opinion. But I must leave the lady, and hie myself to the gentleman, who, for origin- ality and force, I regret to confess, sur- passes the American no-painite." "The very fact that a person is ailing $nd aged, says Mr. Round, shows that, through ignorance, he has in some way mismanaged his bodily affairs." There is positive ring about this assertion. Mr. ■Hound does not beat about the bush; he tells you simply and straightly that, if you are not in the best of health, or if you have attained the allotted span" of the Psalmist you. and you alone, are to blame. I will not dispute this doctrine, for I am aware that, as far as my own experience goas any ill-health which has overcome me in the past is attributable to a considerable extent to my own mis- management of bodily affairs." What were the particular features of my mis- management, I cannot at the moment re- v It may be that I contracted cold °y damp feet, or it may be that I ex- posed myself to draughts; however, I will not belabour the question. With Regard to the fact that a man gets aged because of the same lamentable ignorance, 7 have no opinion to offer. I had enter- tamed the belief that a man got aged because of the sin which his early pro- genitor in the Garden of Eden commit- j.6^> indeed, I traced in the furrowed Unes written heavily upon the brows of py old acquaintances, a tragic connec- tion with original sin. I am glad that I have been mistaken, for it, proves to Fjy satisfaction that the world is not so u a^er aH> ancl that the burdens of age and illness are not the just wages of sin, but the outcome of mankind's "spiorable ignorance. liaving laid down the foregoing state- ment about the cause of old age and ill- ness, my friend Mr. Round goes on to demonstrate how these failings may be In the first place, what every- body has to do is to overcome the ath instinct." That, at first, appears formidable task. I doi not know how many of my readers are capable of doing a f u we may ke discouraged, the author explains how it is to be done. I One of the ways this can be done is y Writing on incense paper Health is avtu-al' or some other affirmation which you wish to impress on yourself, ignite paper, and hold yourself in a men- win re^axetl position, then the perfume p tend to convey the associated sug- gest-io-n to your mind." 11 It. IS quite simple, you see. There is ai hing intricate and brain-wearying it. Dissimilar to other methods lifL #' at tJle best' only go to prolong to° tor a short time, you are not asked cis pei*orm aH sorts of gymnastic exer- j ^') you are not entreated to stand on neiH, nor to pummel yourself; her are you requested to whistle, nor II Vlg°rously rub yourself until you are e in the face and black in eyes; the w kning desired of the person who dow ° *or ever that he should sit lettU as c0°^ as he were to write a T e^> take a sheet of incense paper suiTni and Short could aim 1 that commodity—write on it na+ £ 1 wonderful legend Health is thirl^ Put a to it, and there the uiuig w done. When you have conveyed the asso- ciated suggestion to your mind—and here I must exhort my readers not to forget that part of the performance—you are to proceed: When man has learned to overcome his death instinct, and so pre- vent the senile changes which lead him to his involuntary suicide, there will still remain microbes, wild animals, accidents, and the, violence of his fellow-man." The latter part of the foregoing: sentence is full of dread forebodings. Of course, there is always present the possibility of meeting with an accident, and what is the precise quality of the incense paper with its attendant suggestion, should you meet a bull on the road with no place of escape. I cannot say. The presence of microbes is another disquieting element, but these considerations must, net cast us down, for we are assured that as to the microbes and the wild animals, the stronger in body and more alert he becomes the better able he will be to resist them." That is some consolation, I mean, and if I may improve on the advice which the author has given us, I would add that, with a. view of getting the desired strength and alertness, we should alternate with Health is natural the following formula, Strength and alertness are natural," and to reap the full benefits to be derived from it, we should not fail to convey the associated suggestion to the mind." Now I come to the latter part of this extraordinary prescription. It reads thus: Let us avoid reading tales that end badly or witnessing maudlin drama- tic tragedies or recapitulating them in our thoughts. In fact, such mental virus, which is the expression of morbid minds, should be, as noxious drugs are, marked with a poison label in the interest, of the unwary." I hope that my readers have fully grasped the import of these, pregnant sentences; for, unless we carry out the dictates of this remarkable physician to the bitter end, how can we possibly hope to enjoy perpetual life? Indeed, were it in my power, I should confer a baronetcy upon Mr. Round, and make him Baron Round," or, if you prefer it, a Round Baron," for I see no end of useful possi- bilities were his, suggestions to be adopted. All those horrid tales of sensation and murder, rapine and plunder, would un- less they ended in a, joyous epilogue, be confined to the outer darkness, labelled "poison," and plays, etc., unless the hero and heroine were married and lived happy ever after," would share the same ignominious fate. It would brighten our literature and drama, the souls of men would be gladdened, and suffering human- ity would know not the terror of death, but live a life of unexampled bliss and perpetuity.
