Begging Imposture at Rhyl. UNAUTHORISED USE OF A MINISTER'D NAMIR A PLAUSIBLE OFFENDER SENT TO PRISON. On Friday afternoon, there was a very ex- citing scene at Wellington-road, when Police Constables Roberts, Foulkes, and Da-vies had to use their combm'd efforts to secure the arrest of Thomas Barker Ellis. a plasterer, of Wel- lington-tenraoe, and son of a forme,r chairman of the Rhyl Improvement) Commissioners. He was arrested on e- charge of collecting alms by false pretences. On Saturday, he was brought up before Messrs R. M. Hugh Jones (presiding), Mr J. H. Ell's, and Mr G. A. Ta vomer, but as the Rev. S. T. Jones, Calvi- nietic Methodist -iister, Ckvyd-svreet, Rhyl, was unable to Attend through a bad cold, In- spector Pearson Mked for a remand, as the rev, gentleman was the principal witness. The defendant afked for a doctor to examine him, alleging th-->.t he had been illtreated by DO police. Inspector Pearson said it was untrue to say tha.t he was illtroated- As a matlcr of fact the. defendant nad illtreat.e.d the officers and could be charged with assault.' He would ar- range for a doctor to eee the defendant, who was then remanded. On Monday, tte 6efenda.n,t was again brought up in custody, <-1 d pleaded not guilty to the charge. The police produced the following appeal written on a sheet of foolscap pap^r. It was found on the defendant when he was arrested: "To whomsoever it may interest, Thomas Barker Ellis, on of the la.te Thomas Ellis, builder, has been in illhealth for the last two years, unable to do aaiv kind of work, having to submit to two operations during that period, fche complaint "'been" anneri&m. Through been ill so long he has been brought to a state of poverty. This appeal is made on his behalf so he may be able to get work- ing clothes and tools as ho is u able to do anything without the articles mentioned. He has a wife and two children. Hope you will be kind enough to give the case your full sympathy as he is very weakly.—(Signed) Rev- S. T. Jones. The cost of clothes and tools will be £ 2." The Rev. S. T. Jones said he knew the de- fendant two or three years ago, but he never signed the appeal, nor <iiid ne authorise defendant to use his name. He believed that the defendant did appeal to him two or three ytea-rs ago, but he 'had seen nothing of him ainoe. Mr J. H. Ellis: Did you ever give him any- thing. Mr Jones?-kes, two or th.ee ycare ago, I gave him something. Defendant added that the Rev. S. T. Jones told him he oould use his name. Mrs Long, of tie Westminster Hotel, stated that the defeaidajnt called at the hotel on Thursday evening and produced the paper. On the strength tbati it v." as c.n appeal signed by a well-known, minister and that ether well- known persons had subscribed, sho gave the &fenja,nb Is. Mr R. B. Arnold, draper, Que.en's-square, said that on Friday afternoon the defendant called at his shop and asked ior help, producing the paper alleged to have 'been signed by the Rev. S. T. Jones. Witness de- cline.d to help him, whereupon defendant at once bocame impudent, and said that people should holp a n-iam whem he was down instead of keeping him down. Ho noticed that the de- fendant was smelling very strongly of spirits. P.C. Owen stated that he followed the de- fendant to the Birmingham Arms, and found that he had called for a glass of beer. He charged him with collecting alIDB, but ho denied it, and refused to go to the police station. Defendant began to swear, and tried to eecapo through the back way. Witness pre- vented him. and a struggle ensued, during which efendant kicked witness thre.,a times. P.S. Roberts and P.O. D-avies were scait for by the landlady, and defendant was band- cufied and carried to the potlioe station. Cross-examined Witness said defendant was drunk, but had not been served at the Bir- mingham Arms. P.S. Roberts said he had known the defend- ant for two years, and at one time he went about, on a crutch, but he had been all right for many months. He got his living by begging, and the police had received numerous complaints. Defendant was not married, and he bad no children as stated in the appeal. He easAstod to arrest the defendant on Friday, QNA he WRS very violent. At the poiioe station oi he was charged with collecting alms bv faiee pretences, but he made no reply. He objected to be searched. In his pocket was found tho appeal alleged to have been signed by the Rev. S. T. Jones and several blank sheets of similar paper. Defendant was the most violent ma.n he had ever seen at the police station. Defendant alleged that he was struck with the handcuff, and that a constable knelt on his chest. P.S. Roberts denied this. Mr S. Perks, J.P., said thai his name ap- peared on the list for 2s 6d, but he neither gigned the paper nor gave the defendant 2s 6d. Defendant called on him several months ago, and ho gave him a small sum, but not 2s 6d. Defendant here said that Mr Porks gave him a shilling when ho was trying to get into the Convalescent Home. He did sign Mr Perks' name to the sheet as well as the names of other well-known people as he foltl it would get him what ho needed. Mr B. Griffiths said he was a member of the firm of Messrs Griffiths and Son, whose name appeared on the list for 4-s, but neither his fathicir nor himserif ever gave the defendant that amount or signed the paper. Replying to the Chairman, the defendant said he underwent an operation two years last February and a second one twelve months ago. He was pretty well now, and had signed Rev. S. T. Jones' name without his authority, although Mr Jones onoe told him that he ootlld use his name. It was also true that he not have a wife or two children, but he did not look upon that as a very eerious offence. He would leave himself on the mercy of the court as he had had a very bad time. If the Bench would be lenient he promised never to offend again. The Bench having decided to convict the de- fendant. Dr. A. Eyton Lloyd said be was called to too pouoe station om Saturday as the defendant wished to seo a medical man. He alleged that he had boon assaulted by the polioo officers, but there was no evidence of such a thuinr having taken place. Defendant also alleged that his hand was crushed, and that he was generally Liltreated, but he failed to find any trace of it. Ihore was no evidence of the defendant suffering from th? effects of the Operation and ho could do work. He knew the aeiOndant quite well, and last May he was malingering in tho Convalescent Home, but he (Dr- Lloyd) refused to retain him there, and marched him out. Inspector Pearson said that the defendant 4ad a vary bad record, At the age of 17 years he was char-roc! with a frinnnnT "ff",l1An "4. Defendant: But I was acquitted of that. Inspector Pearson added that the defendant had been before the court for drunkenness, and 1I'hilc abroad had a vetrv bad character. The Chairman said the Bench felt that it was a very bad case, and that defendant was a. ^wig-erous character. He would go to jail for two months with haord labour. .inspector Pf arson thanked Mr Arnold for giving the polloo the information as they had øót been ahlebefc-re to catch the defondant with the paper m his possession The Bench aJN:I thanked all the witn-esscs for their aseistanoe.
CRUEL HEADACHES.
CRUEL HEADACHES. BILE BEANS RESTORE HEALTH AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING. Though headache is one of the commonest of everyday ills it is remarkable how few peop'e understand the correct way to treat it. Ureas powders, and pills relieve symptoms only- tliev do not remove the cause. Bile Beans euro' headache by correcting the disordered stomach and liver, which give nee to headaches. Headache is 0110 of the first symptoms of a cold, which persons with impaired digestive or- gans so easily fall a prey to in foggy November. Don t neglect the- warning, but take Bile Beans to restore your stomach, liver, and bowels to sound health in a natural way. Mrs M. E. Bmaro, of 12, Little-ets Bristol, has told a local reporter about her cure of head- ache by Bile Beans. I been a sufferer for vears," said Mra Bonaro, "from terrible pains and dizziness in my head. Any little excitement or worry used to greatly intensify the pains, and the least exertion would completely u knock me up. I tried to get relief in sleep, but when I woke up I was unrefreshed, and the pains were as bad as over I have taken medicines supplied by mv doctor and have been treated at the hospital, 5 ^vithout the slightest beneficial effect One day I came across a little book about Bile Beans for Biliousness, and reading there of a case similar to my own I determined to try a box. After taking a few Bile Beans the Dams were low -evere. Irrro ared, and the relief became greater until the pains entirely disappeared. My health waa re-established, and I became myself again. ^ou can obtain Bide Beans from all ohem- Mta, at Is lid per box, or 29 9d for box oon- tainjng 3 times the QUANTITY.

HUMORS OF HISTORY GALLANT CONDUCT OF WILLIAM OF NORMANOY-14 OCT., 1066. At the battle of Hastings the fortunes of the day were at one time-going against the Normans, and intelligence reached William, who, surrounded by his staff, was watching the battle, that his soldiers were wavering because of a report that he bad been killed. The Duke at once removed his helmet and galloped down the line. The soldiers recognised him and turned with renewed energy to the attack, with the result that the English were defeated, Harold was killed, and the old Saxoa line came to an end."—" The New History of England.

Llandudno Charity Associa- tion ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Llandudno Charity Association was laeld on Friday evening, when there were present: tha Ri3V. Llewelyn R. Hvgjhes, M.A. (rector of Llaijdudno), Rev. H. Barrow Williaroe, Rev. J. Raymond. Rev. David Davies, Rev. J. Wesley Wliitmore, Dr. Goody, Councillors J. J. Marks, M.A., and J. Roger DawSlOU, Mrs Hughes (The Rectory), Mrs J, Marks (hon. secretary), Mrs Barrow Wil- liams, Mrs Reeves Hughes, Mrs Goody, Mrs G. A. Humphreys, Mrs Forrester, Miss Gonwaj7, Miessrs. J. F. Roberts, Tong, Pye, Morris Barnett, Hodloway, O. W. Roberts, Towler, Miss Grattan, Mr and Mrs Squirrel, ete. A letter apologising for non-attendance was mad from Mr John Walker, the treas- urer of the association. SYMPATHY AND CONDOLENCE The Rector (who presided at the out- set) referred to the death of the lato Dean Mulligan, and said that the committee bad lost one of its most faithful and active members. Ha (the rector) also deeply re- gretted the continued illness of Mrs T. T. Marks, but was ploased to htear that she showed signs of restoration to health (ap- plause). Mrs James Marks read a letter from Mr L. M. Cutler, which ooncluded as follows: —" The association has my best support and best wishes. For furthering the same I close donation of L5 towards the funds. also £ l Is for the free meal fund." A SATISFACTORY REPORT. The secretary (Mrs Marks) then presented the annual report of the association, whidh was as follows:- Labour.. Under this bead Tras found work for a considerable number of appli- cants in excess uf 1905; wherea.3 885 days were then provided the total for this year reached 1040. The committee consider that thi method of expending the funds of the society is far more satisfactory than mere doles, (L3 it proves the willingness of the recipients to work and conserve their self- respect. The work undertaken was a con- tinuation of that of last year, viz., tho im- proving of the Invalid's Walk, which is now oompleted and forms one of the best and most attractive promenades in the town. The committee are again indebted to the Urbaji District Council for a grant of £10 towards the work. The method of payment by orders on tradesmen has proved quite satisfactory. Some of the men ion- gaged on the work were insufficiently clad and ware provided with warm clothing by the kindness of friends. Mr Clemesha, Morfen, Hill Terrace, will be pleased to hear from those willing to help in this wav and will gladly send a mesisidnger To receive any gifts. Doles.—In deserving and necessitous cases, where, owing to circumstances, relief was not appropriate, tickets for groceries, coal, and in castas of sickness, for milk and meat have been given. Assistance in illness.—The committer have paid the railway fares of patients who needed special treatment and given help in cases of long illness by engaging women (themselves in noad of employment) to look after the patient and the house. Spiactacles have been provided for one child and the eyes of another have bean treated success- fully. Three patients have baen sent to the Consumption Hospital, Liverpool, through the kindness of a membor of the committee, Miss Amelia Barker. The County Education Committed are now arranging, on the representation of this association, to send a child to a. Home and School for epileptic children. Children's Clothing.—This branch whidh was started bv a special donation from Mrs Martin Wilson for that purposa, has been of special benefit. Stockings, boots and shoes and warm underclothing have prin- cipally been distributed. In some in- stances material lias been bought, and women in want -of work. have been paid for making tihe required garments, the money thus serving a double purpose. Afendicit.T.-Muoh has been done to put a stop to professional be--ing, and your committee is glad to report a considerable decrease since last year. Subscribers and others are urged to have cases investigated by our agent in order that only houa-ficLe applicants may be helped. Neglect of Children.—Tha committee have reported several cq&js to the R.S.P.C.C., N who have takon prompt measures to stop this very serious evil. Fi ■ee Meals.These were eaejarly wel- comed, and each case thoroughly investi- gated by the same methods as were adopted last year. Thirty-onie meals were given between the beginning of December and thia end of March, they were served at the Cocoa House, and were excellent in quality and generous in quantity. An average of 130 children attended which makes a totail of some 4030 meals provided at a cost of a little leas than 2d w,-r head. The Lloyd-street and Dyffryn-road Coun- cil Schools generously gave the proaaeds of a ooncert to this fund, and in consequence of his and several other liberal donations, it was unnecessary to make any special ap- peal for money or help in kind. The following ladites acted on the Free Mealls Committee, and in turn superintend- ed and waited on the ohildnan nd helped in investigating cases:—Mrs Goody, Mrs T. W. Griffith, Mrs Llewelyn Hughes, Mrs Retaves Hughes, Mrs James Marks, Mrs J. D. 0 wen, Mrs Raymond, Miss C. Conway, Miss Forrester, Miss Gratton, Miss How- arth, Miss Holt, Miss Hooson,. Miss Hughes (Mynydd Siriol), Mrs Reeves, Mrs Reles, Mrs T. Roberts, Mra John Roberts, Mrs Shad Roberts, Mrs O. W Roberts' Mrs J. W. Rowlands, Mrs Barrow Wil- liams. Miss Bamford, Misses Jephcott, Miss Lucking, Miss F. Mather, Miss Price, Miss Rabnett, Miss Roberts (Bod Euron), Misaas Roberts (Huyton), and Miss H. Shaw. T,hrift.-It is very gratifying to be able to state that the advantage of the Thrift department is becoming better understood by those for whose bynefit it was instituted The number of those who availed them- selves of the opportunity of saving has beiaai about the same as in the previous year—200—but the amount deposited has risen from ^140 for 1905, to £ 161 for 1906, which amount will be paid out in Dectamber. It is also a pleasure to state, there has been but libtlo, if any, undue withdrawal during the year by the depositors, and there is abundant evidence that this part of the association's work is of substantial benefit to those for whom it had been established. The tovoi is divided into nine districts, each of which is in charge of a lady col- lector, who calls upon each member every ,v week and receives their deposits. It is chiefly owing to the canaful and assiduous manner in which the ladies in charge of the various districts have done their work that this department of the association has been so successful.—May E. Hughes, hon. sec., Thrift department. In conclusion, your committee wijsh to ex- press their sense of loss through the death of Dean Mullingan, who was a valued an,d honoured member of the committee.—Elsie M. Marks, hon. sac. THE FINANCES. During the year the sum of £ 137 lis 6d was received in subscriptions, of which £ 109 17s 2d had been spent in relief work, £ 10 Sa 6d in doles, and zCg 2s 4d in chil- dren's clothing. There is now a balance in hand of Cl 17s 6d, as compared with Lll for the previous year. Khg total amount of subscriptions received towards the Frtee Meals Fund amounted to £ 17 10s 6d, which together with prooegds of a concert and 13s lid balance from the pre- vious ye-ar, made a total of £.34 7s Id. The balance in hand of this fund was 13s 8d. ADDRESS BY THE RECTOR. The Rector, in moving tho adoption of the report, referred to the excellent work done by Mrs James Marks, as the sacnatary of the association. The Thrift department, lie thought, was capable of greater develop- ment. ohjoot o.f the. Thrift department was simply to take care of the money of the thrifty persons in the summer, GO that they could have the advantage of it in the dark days of winter (cheers). Their great object was to help the deserving poor. There was a large class on the verge of be- coming paupers, many of wnom by a little timely help could be set on their feet again (hear, hear). Owing to the special circum- stances of the town that claes were more numerous in Llandudno than in other towns of the same size. There was an abundance of work in the summer, and people were drawn to the town and frequent- ly were stranded in winter. That was the class of people the association endeavoured to blD: not by providing unnecessary work for them, but work that would be an ad- vantage to the town. Mr Clemesha and Mr Roberts had done much in that direction (cheers). There were signs that work would bo more abundant during the present winter than in the past (cheers). ThJ" next class were these who received doles, people who had not become paupers- Continuing, the Rector said that tha work of the association had been of great assistance to him. In a town like Llan- dudno it was absolutely imnos-siblia for a rector to know the case of every poor per- son in the parish, but when he camo face to face with a body of ladies and gentle- men like the members of the association committee, it was his firm conviction that there was not a poor man, woman, or child in the whole town that had baen over- looked during the past year (applause). He considered the association a great ad- vantage to the charitable people of the town for they had the assurance of the as- sociation that not a single shilling wouJd be wasted (hear, hear). Without such an institution a good deal of tha money given would often do more harm than good (hear, hear). The society had done great work in the past, and those who spent their time with the work have been amnly repaid with a truer knowledge of how to benefit the suffering (cheers).

OBSTINATE RINGWORM. --
OBSTINATE RINGWORM. SPREADS THROUGH FAMILY-ZAM-BUK ALONE ABLE TO ERADICATE EPIDEMIC. Ringworm is admittedly the most troublesome and obstinate of children's slcin and scalp d:s- eaeca. The unique power of Zam-Buk has just, received further procr in the experience of Mr and Mrs F. W. Joilands, of The Tolt-, .Meadow Walk, W allon-on-t.he-Hill, Surrey. To a reporter Mrs Jollands said:—"About iiftecn months ago I discovered that one of my three children, a girl aged four years, had contracted runigworm. It was very slight ait first, appearing on the crown of the lioad about as big as a threepenny piece. There was no discharge, but the hair camo off rapidly, until there was a bright red patch about an inch and a half in diameter completely bare. It was very much in- flainod and awfully irritable, and the child suf- fered considorably when I drowsed it. Of course I kept hor at home, and about two months later tho disease showed itself in the other girl aged six, and also in my boy, agied two. In the cases of the younger girl and the. boy the ringworm was confined to the head, but in the case of tho elder girl the sores spread all over the body, affecting the chest, throat, and legs as well as the scalp. "I consulted a doctor, and he prescribed ointment and lotion, to which I gave a full and fair trial. I followed his instructions exactly, but without any beneficial result. I had all three children at home for five months. In spite of my extreme care the obstinate diisease got a firm hold. ° At Last a, neighbour persuaded me to try Zam-Buk. I noticed that the irritation was very much I allayed after the first application, and the children liked the dru""in.gs immensely. The rings became narrower every night and Zam-Buk continued .steadily in its work of era.dic.ating the disease until all three children wore perfectly cured. Skin and seajp are now in each case sweet and heaJthy, aNd the hair has grown agE, in, too." Zam-Buk expele disease from skin or scalp, ajiid is especially valuable for ringworms, scalp irritation, eczema, psoriasis, sore backs, ab- socsoets, boils, pimples, festering pores, poisoned wounds,cute,bruises,burns,scalds, piles, and puma.

The association had graspad at that idea (cheers). Referring to fixe medical men of the town, the Rector said"that they deserved all praise for what they had done. During the past year, in every casa where a specialist was needed, they had been sent for (cheers). To do all that with L137 lis Gd was indeied highly creditable to the association. He could not possibly conceive a manner in which the niqniay could ba better spant (applause). For children's clothing they had to thank Mrs vYilson, who was ever ready to assist in any good cause. They were also indebted to the committee for the hard work ac- complished during tha year, and amongst them was one that deserved special mention —their 'excellent secretary, who had kept everything in perfect or tier, and who was a lady of great abilities. Both the town and tha poor were indebted to Mrs Marks for the excellent work she had done (ap- plause). Mrs Barrow Williams seconded tha adoption of the report. RELIEF WORK. Dr. Goody asked whether the committed had been hampered in any way by lack of funds during tha past year. Mrs Marks replied that the committee had £ 40 more money to deal with during the past year, but thJa largest portion of the money had been spent in relief work. Otherwise thay might have applied it to other purposes. For instance the com- mittee might have liolped a better class of poor persons, but owing to the amount spent on relief work, they were compelled to confine their efforts to the most needy. Rev. J. Raymond said that he had been told that a large numtor of men employed on the work now o-oing on at Llandudno were moetlv from outside the town. He should not like an impression to go abroad that no monisy was required for relief work this winter. Many local men were not fitted for the work that was gioiinc on. Mr Clemesha agroxl with Mr Raymond, and was afmid that a mistake had been made in thinking that there was pfenty of employment for local men. He had visited the work t,hat was going on in tha town, and out of the large number emlpoyed he onlv oounted a dozen men who had been on the, books of the association in regular employment. A few days afterwards ha found that three or four of the men had le-ft hacauae they could not perform the work. The Secretarv said that she had enquired of the schoolmasters and found that thiare were no signs of children wanting free meals iust yet, which she considered was a sign that things were not so bad as last yiaar in the town. A DESERVING CASE. The Rector mentioned the case of John Roharts, for whom he had been trying to ob- tain a pension from the Royal Albert In- stitute for Sailors. He had sucoaaded in coming within eleven votes of being elected. The Rector said that if 20 or 30 votes more could be obtained he would stand a very good chance. The case was a most deserv- ing onia, and he trusted that a special effort would be made to secure the neces- sary numbar of votes. Rev. Barrow Williams proposed a vote of thalÙB to tlij auditor, president and vice- presidents, the oilioers, secretary and the members of the committee; aJso to the Council for the US3 of the committee room. They were also greatly indebted to the Council for their subscription of 210 to- wards tha funds of the association. Mr 0. W. Roberts seconded, and it was carried unanimously. Mrs Marks proposed a vote of thanks to the Press, who had given great assistance to the oommittee. ELECMON OF OFFICERS, Lord Mostyn was unanimously re-eiectiad president of the association, and the following were appointed:—Vice-^re-idents, Lady Augusta Mostyn, Mra Walker, Miss Barker, Mrs Wand. Messrs. JClhn Walker, J. Adey Wells, and Mr L. M. Cutler Mr P'ji-cy Wailker was re-e'r<o-t.&d hon. treasurer; and Mrs James Marks, hon. secretary.

The Lighting of Llandudno Pier. COMPANY DECIDE TO LAY DOWN ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT. After considerable negotiation between the Llandudno Urban District Council and the Pier Company, tihe directors of the latter have decided to lay down their own plant for the electric lighting of the pier. Before the Council estab- lished their own generating station, eight or nine yeaj-s ago, tho pier had an installation of its own, which was afterwards dismantled and the current taken from the town mains. For the past two seasons, however, there have been com- plaints that sufficient power could not be obtained in the evenings for places of entertain- ment on or in connection with the company's pro- perty. Some time ago a conference was held upon the subject between members of the Coun- cil and representatives of the Pier Company, with the result that Dr. Rhodes, of Manchester, was apDoint-ed to arbitrate unon the matter. THE ARBITRATOR'S REPORT. Dr. PJicdee reporwfr as follows: — Accompanied by Mr Morton and Mr Leech, I carefully examined the pier installation and the Corporation electricity station. Referring to the rbporU; of Mr Morton and Mr Leech, which have been submitted to me I have to make the following observations:— 1st. It does not appear to me that the cine- matograph is the sols cause of the trouble, since the records produced by Mr Morton show that tha effect of the cinematograph is very variable. 2nd. I consider the balancer at the electricity station capable of coping with present demands, as Mr Morton's records prove that he has been ablo to be correctly balanced at the extreme end of his feeders. 3rd. I have no fault to find with the general wiring and installation at the Pier. In my opinion the balancing troubles in the pier installation cannot be satisfactory remedied unless the feeding point instead of being as is at present the case approximately 400 yards from the point of distribution is brought to within 200 yards. It is not to be expected that the Pier Company can always arrange to have a balanced load, and your engineer can only see that his system is balanced to the end of the feeder From the dimensions of the distributor supplying the pier I calculate that with a reason- able out of balance load the alleged variations in pressure between the outers and the middle wire are quite possible. As the only possible remedy which would be at once final and satis- factory I would suggest that the extremity of the feeder should be at or near to the entrance to the pier. I am satisfied that with the present arrangement Mr Morton has done all he possibly could to minimise the effects of the present de- fective system. I have to thank both Mr Morton and Mr Leech for giving me every facility in making a thorough and exhaustive examination, everything I asked for being willingly and readily placed at my disposal. PIER COMPANY TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN LIGHT. In a letter to the Council, Mr Samuel Hughes, secretary of the Pier Company, states:—"The question of supply of current for electric light was fully considered at our Board meeting yesterday (November 10th). Dr. Rhodes' report was read, in which he states that "The balancing troubles in the pier installation cannot be satis- factorily remedied unless the feeding point is at or near to the entrance of the pier.' The directors do not feel justified in asking you to make this change, which would be exceedingly costly, they have therefore decided to instal a gas producing plant, capable of giving them the light required. We shall complete our agree- ment to take 15,000 units at 4|d per unit. at the end of the year, and next year we will take the current we may require at the ordinary town rate. We will undertake not at any time to put on the full load in case of accidents to our plant." THE COST OF SUGGESTED ALTERA- TIONS. The Electrical Engineer informed the Council that on receipt of the report of Dr. Rhodes he had gone into the matter and ascertained that the cost of making the suggested alteration to the service cable would amount to the sum of £317. » THE COUNCIL'S REPLY. The Council instructed the clerk to reply to the letter from the secretary to the Pier Company expressing regret that before giving them an opportunity of considering the suggestion of Dr. Rhodes, the company have decided to put down their own plant, thus nullifying the attempt made to put on a satisfactory basis the existing arrangement.

"WHOSE WORTH MAKES OTHER WORTH A3 NOTHING." :-Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act 2, Scene 4. BERMALINE BREAD is the only Digestive Brown Bread in the world which is manufactured on the highest scientific principles, and prepared from the purest, finest, and most nutritious portions of the Wheat Berry, together with all the digestive and nourishing properties extracted from the nnest Malted Barley. BERMALINE BREAD therefore contains, in a readily assimilable form, all the digestive, nourishing, and strength-giving properties that it is possible to obtain from Wheat and Barley. The Public are requested to see that they do not confuse BERMALINE BREAD with some of the so-called Brown Breads. Many of the latter are largely prepared frou.Germ (Wheat Offal, a waste product) mixed with Ordinary Flour, hence the reason some of those so-called Brown Breads are so unpalatable, and of such a soft and pulpy nature. BERMALINE BREAD bears the palm ateme is a brand to the end of the world is without a rival: is a triumph of excellence." Its absolute superiority a bye-word. For ever hous'd where it once gets possession." If you have any difficulty in obtaining a supply of BERMALINE BREAD kindly communicate with \.ONTGOMERIE & CO., LTD., PARTICK, GLASGOW, who will be pleased to send you a SAMPLE BERMALINE LOAF FREE on receipt of a post-card giving the name and address of the principal Baker in your district. Do not hesitate to send for a Sample Loaf, as one trial of BERMALINE will convince the most sceptical of its superiority ever all other Bread. ESTABLISHED 1847. Works: BANOOR ROAD. RieHftRD ROBERTS.
