A Cold on the Chest. HIDDEN DANGERS CONQUERED BY PEPS. Fully three-quarters of the fatal ill- nesses to-day begin with a chill or cold. Indeed, a cold on the chest is a very serious matter and demands prompt and proper treatment. Chronic bronchitis, asthma, pleurisy, pneumonia, and even the dreaded consumption generally owe their beginning to thoughtless' neglect. Oli, I I am only a bit hoarse/' folks say or That pain or tightness about my chest, it will pass away." Not merely the aged, but those in youth and middle age should attend sharply to these simple, yet alarming syimotoms. .a Happily, a novel and natural medicine, in the form of Peps tablets, has now been placed within reach of everyone by means of which the dangerous cold on the chest is quickly dispelled and more serious con- sequences thus averted. And what is also of great importance is that the Peps treatment is wonderfully simple and handy, while its advantages are excep- tional and manifold. Immedia,telya, Peps tablet, divested of its preserving silver wrapper, is placed in the mouth it commences to dissolve, and certain rare volatile essences which are concentrated in the tablet are released and carried into the lungs with the air we breathe. The throat, which has been made sore and irritable with incessant coughing, is soothed; phlegm is loosened and expelled, breathing is made easier, and the inflamed membrane lining the bronchial tubes and lungs is soothed and heaJed by direct contact with the medi- cinal fumes. Thus the healing influence of Peps is felt in places beyond the reach of any liquid medicine; and a cold on the chest is shorn of all its hidden perils and is itself readily cured. The germs that are said to cause colds and influenza often lodge in the tissues of the lunqs and throat, but in Pe,ps we have an effective germicide and destroyer. As we breathe in the disease, so we must breathe in the cure. Peps contain no opium, morphia, chloral, laudanum, or any of the narcotics found in liquid cough-mixtures and cheap lozenges, and they are, therefore, safe and invaluable for young and old.

Ton-Pentne Police Court. Monday.—Before the Stipendiary (lVr. -Arthur Lewis), Alderman Richd. Lewis, ..Alderman Wm. Morgan, Messrs. J. D. Williams, T. P. Jenkins, and W. T. Jones. A SATURDAY NIGHT'S QUARREL. Oliver Carpenter, haulier, Pentre, was summoned for doing grievous bodily injury ,to Wm. Lewis, collier, 24, Albert Street, iPentre. Prosecutor said that defendant was his, brother-in-law, and on Saturday night I last he came home under the influence of drink. A few words occurred between Ahem and his sister (witness' wife), and witness asked him to, go out of the houise. He refused, and on witness putting him .out he was struck and both fell to the ground. Witness sustained a fractured -,wrist in the fall. Selina. Lewis, the wife of the last wit- ness, corroborated. Evidence of arrest having been given ;by P.O. Bankes, a, week's remand was -ordered. STRUCK HIS WIFE WITH A BOOT. Jane Eastman, residing at 28, Victoria Street, Treherbert, summoned her hus- band, Joseph Eastman, for unlawfully wounding. Complainant said that on Monday after- noon, 16th inst., she went to look for her husband, and fouind him in the Stuart Hotel. He came home with her, and after eating food, lay down on the sofa and prepared to go to sleep. Witness asked him if he was not going to work, and he picked up his evening boots to put on his feet. She prevented him from doing this, and he picked up a boot and threw it at her. The boot struck her on the head and caused a, wound. She then gave information to the police. P.O. Williams said that he went to 59, Gwendoline Street, Tynewydd, on receipt 'of information, where he saw complainant, who was bleeding from a wound on the left side of the head. From what she told him, he proceeded to 28, Victoria Street, where he found defendant in company with his children. Witness told him that he was going to arrest' him on a charge of unlawfully cutting and wounding his wife. Witness seardhed the house, and found a table knife, on which were stains of blood. In answer to the charge, defen- dant said: I didn't do it with a knife. -It was a struggle for my boots to go to work and I struck her with my ,b,oot." Defendant was remanded for a week. CrOT THE BEER AND THE GLASSES. John B. Moore, 30, Gelli Road Toil, was summoned for stealing a number of ■glasses, value 9d. the property of the Ithondda Valley Brewery Co., Ltd. John Cording, manager of the Gordon Hotel, Gelli, said that a considerable siumber of glasses, similar to those pro- duced. had been lost during the last month. Ann Harrell, widow, residing at 30, Gelli Road, said that prisoner and his wife lodged with her. Three weeks ago, prisoner came home on a, Saturday night and had two glasses with him, and offered them to his wife. She, however, refused them, remarking that she had enough ,-glasses of her own. Prisoner then gave them to witness. In reply to the Bench, witness said that prisoner was not drunk. P.O. D. T. James said that on the 20th inst. he visited prisoner's house, and re- ceived some glasses from the landlady and others from prisoner's wife. Witness .arrested him the same evening, and in reply to a charge of stealing the glasses, he said "I mush have taken them whilst 'under the influence of drink, or someone must have put them in my pocket." A fine of 15s. was imposed. A SEASONABLE THEFT. A charge, of stealing an overcoat value 25s., the property of W. J. Da,vies, Myrtle 'Grove, Margaret Street, Pentre, was pre- ferred against David Henry Jones, a labourer, of no fixed abode. Prosecutor said that he was a clerk in the employ of Mr. David Trekarne, Pentre House, Pentre. About 2.30 p.m. •on Thursday, 19th inst., he placed his overcoat on a hook behind a door leading to Mr. Treharne's office. About 5.30 he retard someone in the room, but took no ,notice of it, as he thought it was someone going to see Mr. Treharne. As witness was leaving the office an hour later, he found that his overcoat was missing. Isaaci Woods, a labourer, residing at Pontypridd, said that prisoner endea- voured to sell him the overcoat, as he wanted money, to pay for food and lodging. After much hawking, witness 'eventually purchased the garment for 28. 6d. Prisoner was arrested on Saturday night at a Coedpenmaen common lodging- house, and in answer to a charge of steal- ing the overcoat, he said I bought the coat for Is. 6d. and sold it for 2s. 6d." ,Subsequently he admitted that he "might as well speak the truth," and pleaded guilty. Supt. Cole said that he had reason to -believe that the prisoner had been pre- viously convicted, and he was remanded for inquiries. A TREHERBERT COLLIER'S OFFENCE. John Jones, collier, Treherbert, was summoned for indecently exposing him- self. Evidence was given by several "fTouug -girls of prisoner's conduct on Saturday night last, and he was sent to prison for two months. THE TINKER AND HIS SUIT. Chas. Dixon, travelling tinker was charged with stealing a suit of clothes, value 29s., the property of Thomas N. Adams, outfitter, Dunraven Street, Tony- pandy. Evidence was given by William Davies, manager of Mr. Adams' establishment, to the effect that he missed the suit from outside his shop on 16th November. Margaret Ann Williams, wife of John Williams, Ystrad, said that at 8 p.m. on the 16th inst. she was standing in front 'of her own door, when prisoner came up to her. She noticed he was carrying something bulky under his arm, and he came into the house and placed a parcel on the table. He then told her that he had a suit of clothes that would fit her boy, and tried to sell them to her. She, however, refused to accept the clothes at any price, and he went away. P.C. Baker said that from information received on Monday, the 16th inst., he, in company with P.C. Jones, made in- quiries, and went to 66, Gelligaled Road, where prisoner had sold the suit for 7s. Witness arrested prisoner in a common lodging-house, and brought him to Ton- Pentre Police Station, where,. in reply to the charge, he said: All right; I will give in; and I will stand the conser- quences." In prisoner's pocket was found a tioket. which Mr. Adams' manager recognised as having been fixed to the clothes. Prisoner, who declared that he had been travelling up and down the Valley for 30 or 40 years, and had never been in trouble before, was ordered to pay a "une of 20b. AN EXPENSIVE BARGAIN. A sequel to the above was heard, when Evan Jones, collier, Ystra,d, was charged with receiving the suit of clothes know- ing them to have been stolen. Mr. D. W. James, Tonypandy, defended. P.S.aker said that he visited defen- dant's house on Monday night, and asked him if he had bought a suit of clothes that night. Defendant replied that he had, and fetched the clothes for witness' inspection. Defendant's wife then came into the room, and said to her husband: Why did you buy them? I told you they were stolen when you came home to fetch the money." Defendant replied: Shut up your jaw, and don't have so much to say. They have to, prove it first." He refused to go with witness to identify the man who had sold him the suit. On Thursday evening following, wit- ness arrested defendant and conveyed him to TOll Police Station, where, in reply to the charge, he said On the day in ques- tion I saw a crowd of people in the bar of the Gelligaled Hotel. I went to see what was going on, and I saw a man try- ing to sell a, trousers and waistcoat. I had a look at them, and he said to me, 'I will sell these for 5s.' I asked him where lie got them from, and he said that he had received his pension on Saturday, and that he bought the suit for 25s., but as he was out of work and his wife and children were starving at home, he would sell them. I went 'home to fetch the money, and bought the lot for 7s." Prisoner, in the box, told much the same tale as that he told P.S. Baker when charged, adding that he had no idea the clothes were stolen, or he would not have bought them. Prisoner was ordered to pay a fine of 20s., or fourteen days' imprisonment.

THE "LANCET" SENDS A COMMIS- SIONER TO THE "LEMCO" AND "0X0" FACTORIES AND CATTLE FARMS. The Lancet of the 24th October contains a long and interesting article upon the manu- facture of Lemco, Oxo and Nursing Oxo, and the huge cattle-rearing industry connected therewith. The proprietors of the Lancet are to be congratulated on their initiative in dealing with such an important subject. Medical men must often regret that they have not the opportunity of visiting the vast Argentine cattle farms where these concentrated foods are prepared, and see with their own eyes the scrupulous care and scientific methods which are employed to ensure the maximum amount of dietetic efficiency being maintained. They will, therefore, be specially interested in reading the account of an expert eye-witness who has evidently been initiated into the innermost secrets of the business. As is generally known, articles in the Lancet are written for the benefit of the medical pro- fession and nurses, but this particular subject is of such interest, and the descriptive part has been handled so realistically, that the article in question is of real interest to the general public. The Open-Air Life. After dwelling upon the origin of Lemco, the researches of the celebrated Baron Justus von Liebig, and the formation in 1865 of the Liebig Company—the originators of the manufacture of concentrated beef foods-the Commissioner goes on to say:—"It is difficult to convey an adequate sense of the magnitude of the cattle farms situated upon the Liebig Company's property in the Argentine, in Uruguay and Paraguay. Even a rapid round of all the estancias, without spending more than a day and a night at each, would occupy the best part of three months. And the traveller would encounter, over the thousands of miles covered, a vast ocean of grass, ever being replenished by a congenial climate, studded by innumerable herds 01 cattle, each perhaps comprising from 2,000 to 4,000 head, and after some days he would begin to long for a change in the scene, for he would probably get satiated with the sight of so many cattle, albeit they are splendid beasts, whose sires are English pedigree bred. He would appre- ciate the curiously exhilarating and pure air the sense of real fatigue comes but rarely in spite of hard travelling. He would admire the marvellously healthy-looking condition and cleanly and picturesque appearance of the cattle, due to careful breeding and selection of stock, and, above all, to the fact that every moment of their life day and night is spent in the open air. The whole camp is, in short, one stupendous example of the open-ait life. It not only supplies abundance of good pasture and water, but it provides a con- tinual supply of fresh vitalised air which effectually guards the cattle from those diseases to which they are prone." Four Million Tons of Grass. When the total acreage of the Lemco and Oxo farms is taken into account, coupled with the enormous herd feeding thereon, some con- ception of the grass-yielding value of the pasturage is gained. Apart from sheep, the stock of cattle at the present time is about 250,000, which are distributed over 1,250,000 acres of grass. On this estimate the allotment to each animal is about five acres of pasturage. The average daily amount of grass consumed by one animal is 88 pounds a herd of 250,000 would, therefore, consume per diem 22,000,000 pounds of grass, or approximately 10,000 tons. The yearly consumption of grass would thus mean not far short of 4,000,000 tons. These quantities are prodigious, and they illustrate the increase which the land brings forth. Similarly, the annual amount of water con- sumed, based on the fact of one animal requiring 30 litres per day, would amount to 700,000,000 gallons per annum for the herd. These figures will convey some idea of the scale on which cattle farming is done in the Argentina and neighbouring States, but after all they refer only to the stock of one Company, which, however, is the largest stock held, as it is the finest bred, by an individual concern. Altogether the cattle population of the Argentina is nearly 26,000,000 and in the Uruguay over 6,000,000 head. 0 Magnificent Water Supply. The Commissioner describes the processes of manufacture, and makes a special point of the scientific supervision which is exercised over every detail; even the temperature at which Lemco and Oxo is prepared varies from day to day, with the age of the cattle, the season of the year, and the kind of pasture upon which they are reared. The details of veterinary inspection are most convincing, and the magnificent water supply described, diagrams being given comparing the volume of water in the River Uruguay with that in the Thames. 16,000-Mile Journey. The article contains a number of analyses, which will be exceedingly interesting to the medical profession, and is illustrated with a number of photos of the country. Altogether the Lancet Commissioner gives a very interesting account of his 16,000-mile journey, and the article, which covers twelve pages in the Lancet, is of real educational value, and gives a clear idea of the dietetic properties of Lemco, Oxo and Nursing Oxo. The illustrations give just sufficient idea of the magnitude of the industry to make one realise that its greatness can really only be understood by those who have been fortunate enough to see the factories and farms for themselves.
