C* employer of Charles Marshall, 42, I., married, farm bailiff at Pytindu, agaift'st the refusal of the Brecon Tribunal to give further exemption. Mr, J Jones appeared for his nephew (Captain D. (3rd the employer, and mentioned that the tl erfor cultivation was 0;2 acres, and hitherto ik;' I jn te Ild only been one regular man (aged 60) t, a farm of acres besides Marshall. From [ Ik*16 *° time they had had soldier labour and an ex^ra man since April 1st. ^plying to Captain Wilson, N.S. repre- •^tative; Mr. Jones said 110 attempt had been to employ women 011 the Pytindu land. t, C,ti)taiii 'NVil,,)ii Does not Marshall occupy Ost of his time in the garden ? Jones No, you do not have a man at J a year with keep for himself and wife to time in a little bit of a kitchen garden. \,The Chairman, addressing Mr. Jones, said y ^thiis weighed with us is the time you J^self give to national work in this county, the fact also that your nephew id serving, nyjst be some keen man remaining to > ^age the farm, and we therefore grant your ( a'1 exemption till September 1st on ground A of national importance). LOST ON TWO GROUNDS. t ^r. Phillips, of Gludy Farm, Brecon, applied Kp further exemption for Lewis Morgan M0Pkins, 19, Class B II., waggoner and ^ghman. till Chairman We granted you exemption May Fair so that you could get another lwir. Phillips He is the only man I have. tyjhe Secretary (Mr. H. F. W. Harries) said Question arose as to the description of the (j, ou his registration card. If he was not .6!-e described as an agricultural worker he under the Proclamation and could only ^elf appeal on personal grounds. 6 Tlve Chairman Apart from that we met the Mover's convenience by granting exemption H. May 1st to give him an opportunity to get J°ther man. This man is not a skilled ^ghman. Phillips He is a B II. man and that is reason I kept him oil. Chairman If he is registered as a Ii on his registration card we have no go t to hear the case, and apart from that on J4 Merits we dismiss the appeal. tILTH RURAL CASE UNDER THE PROCLAMATION. \y^rs. Weale, a,s the emploj-er of Ivor Price itl eale, 19, Class A, waggoner and farm bailiff, J the Builth Rural district, appealed for L.^ption. and the application was supported Mr. Lewis W. H. Jones, solicitor, Brecon. K Secretary This man comes within the a tarnation, and when the local .Tribunal v.yt with the case 011 April 22nd they had no to do so. V^r. C. W. Woosnam, N.S. representative ilh. Agricultural Executive Committee have withdrawn the blue voucher in this The Chairman You have the right to go to 11 the Agricultural Executive Committee and ask for a certificate to enable you to come to us. MEDICAL RE-EXAMINATION CONCEDED. Mr. Jenkin Williams. Sennybridge: wished to make an application in the case of Arthur Brown, 23, Class A, single, a timber haulier, but the Secretary said the case came within the Proclamation. Mr. Jenkin Williams said on a previous medical examination the man was placed in a lower grde, and in view of his physical defects he asked for an order for a further examination. The Secretary Mr. Williams cannot make that application. The man must make it unless there is good reason shown to the Tribunal otherwise. Captain Wilson said he would consent to another examination on condition that if it resulted again in Class A the man went to the Army. I The Chairman He cannot help himself. WITH A WIFE AND NINE CHILDREN. The local Tribunal having granted further I temporary exemption, with leave to apply again, on the ground of hardship, to Gwilvm Rees Price. 33. married, witi nine children, a colliery haulier,Colonel J. J. Jones, N.S. repre- sentative, appealed. In reply to questions, the respondent said he had not had any notice of comb out." His oldest child was under 12 aad the ydungest 18 months. His earnings were 13 13s. he knew the separation allowance would be £ 2 Gs., but that was different to having a man at home raising his family. He had been working underground many years, but was out of the coHiery for a short time in 1914, and therefore I his case did not come under the jurisdiction of the Colliery TFibutial. The case was adjourned for respondent to be medically examined. WILLING TO ABIDE THE ISSUE. Mr. F. S. Simons, solicitor. Cefn and Merthyr, on behalf of Thomas Powell. 39, Bl, married, pit carpenter, applied for further exemption, and fer another medical examination. He said the applicant was twice graded C3. at Brecon and Cardiff. Later a travelling Medical Board put him in Bl, but most people who were »raded Bl by that Board were afterwards rejected as medically unfit. He thought it would be more satisfactory to deal that day with the application for examination. The Chairman You are willing to stake your all on the medical examination ? Mr. Simons Yes. Another medical examination was ordered. HAYING REGARD TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES: David Davies. 39, Bl, married, with nine children, appealed against the refusal of a local Tribunal to grant further exemption, on the ground of hardship. After listening to the man's story of his family circumstances the Chairman said :— Having regard to your medical category, the number of your children, and the cost you would be to your country, we grant you six months' exemption on the ground of hardship. EVERYBODY SATISFIED. Mr. F. S. Simons, as the employer of Charles Gardner, 39, Grade 3, a married gardener, of Cefn, appealed against the decision of the local Tribunal attaching to temporary exemption the condition that the man took up work of national importance other than ordinary garden- ing. Colonel Jones The man being Grade 3, I don't know that he would be very much good to the Army, but the point is. that lie is to do work of national importance. Mr. Simons said the man worked an acre of vegetable garden, and managed a farm of six acres. Colonel Jones Having regard to the cir- cumstances, I don't see any advantage in changing his occupation. He is quite as well where he is. The Chairman We quite agree. Conditional exemption on Ground A. FEEDING THE FARiUERS" AT BUILTH. The N.S. representative reviewed the certi- ficate of conditional exemption held by Mr. F. L. Morris, 33, Grade 2. grocer, baker, and pro- vision merchant, of Builth Wells, in partner- ship with his father. Mr. G. Tudor, solicitor, Brecon, appeared for the respondent. In the course of his statement as to the nature and extent of the business, Mr. Morris mentioned that the firm had a restaurant, and extra help was engaged there on market days. Captain Wilson What extra help ? Mr. Morris Women to wait on the farmers feeding. (Laughter.) The turnover of the business having been mentioned, the Chairman observed: It is progressive, notwithstanding the rations. (Laughter.) Mr. Tudor The increase is accounted for by the rise in prices. I don't think there is any extension of business. After a private deliberation the Tribunal withdrew the exemption, but directed that Mr. Morris was not to be called up before June 30th. JOINED UP. It was reported that the application in the case of Mr. William Watkin Morgan, of Pen- kelly Court, assistant machinery and. horse officer to the War Agricultural Executive Com- mittee, had been withdrawn. The case had been adjourned for a medical examination, which resulted in Grade 1, and Mr. Morgan has joined up." FORFEITED HIS RIGHT. Mr. Thomas Davies. 42, Grade 3. single, cabinet-maker, of Sennybridge, applied for further exemption, It was stated that appli- cant had not taken up work of national impor- tance, as directed. Captain Wilson He would be very valuable in aeroplane work. I The Chairman told the applicant that he had not fulfilled the condition imposed, and he had forfeited his right of appeal. <

A CALL FROM MHOWI

A CALL FROM MHOW I To the Editor of the County Times. Sir,—My attention has been drawn to a letter by the Lord Bishop of Swansea in your issue of January 17th. I should likft to make some remarks, as the letter, as it stands, Aay have given a \wong impression of the facts. The Rev. D. C. Macpherson visited Imdia on behalf of the Church of England Men's Society with a Christmas and New Year's message of fraternal greeting. This he conveyed to all troops, not especially the Brecknocks. I am sure Mr. Macpherson would be the last to give I preference to any one unit more than another- in fllct, his delightful and cheering sernewr on Christmas Day was to ALL. As regards the Church Institute in Mhow, the £ 700 mentioned is the sum the Church Committee consider necessary to staft building, I am pleased to say that this is now practically assured. I hope it will be quite understood that the Institute will be for the use of ALL, irrespective of unit, creed, or denomination. The gift of the Church of England Soldiers' Institute is conditional on the name being identified with their Association therefore, it will not be possible to call it the Brecknock Institute." And, after all, it would be hardly fair to do so, seeing that the Brecknock Battalion is only a part of the British Troops in Mhow. Yours faithfully, ARTHUR CHURCHILL, Liet.-Col. Commanding British Convalescent Section, Mhow. We have referred to the Bishop of Swansea's letter, and can find nothing in it inconsistent with the facts as stated above. The reference to a Brecknocks' Institute" was apparently only a sug estiom.-ED. B.C.T."

RHEUMATISM KIDNEY TROUBLE Rheumatism is due to uric acid crystals in the joints and muscles, the result of excessive uric aoid, which is also the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, and dropsy. Estora Tablets, a thoroughly harmless specific based on modern medicinal science, are the successful treatment, and have cured numberlets obstinate cases after tke foftare of all other tried remedies, which accounts for their superseding out-of-date medicines sold a a price beyond all but the wMlLky. Women frequently suffer from ills, aches and pains, under the impression that they are victims of ailments common to their sex, but more often than not it is due to the kidneys and in such cases Estora Tablets Will, set them right Estora Tablets-an honest roaedT at an honest price—Is 3d per box of 40 tablets, or six for 6s 9d.

Agriculture and Recruiting:— Important Decision. The Board. of Agriculture announce that an arrangement has been made with the Ministry of National Service and the War Office for a definite number of 30,000 Grade 1 men to be made available from agriculture for military service not 14ter tban 30th June. It is hoped that the large majority of these men will be recruited under the Proclamation of 19tli April, 1918, calling up men born in the years 1895-1899, but if the full number of men is not obtained under this Proclamation it will be necessary to obtain the remaimder from men up to 31 years of age. It is expected that additional labour, including a large number of prisoners of war, will be made available for agriculture, to take the place of the men urgently required for immediate military service

BLIND IX ONE EYE AND DEFECTIVE IN THE OTHER. Amongst numerous applications for orders j for examination by medical assessors, the only one of much public interest was that of Herbert Tom Morris, all Y stradgynlais colliery worker. The Chairman Is a man with one eye gradable in Class 1 ? Mr. Leyshon, .JST.S. Representative Yes, if he can see all right with the other. (Laughter.) The SecretarNr He cannot be in Grade 1, he may be in Grade 2. Mr. Leyshon I don't object to his being re-examined. The Chairman We think the attention of the medical board ought to be drawn to this case. Here is the case of a man with one eye who is placed in Grade 1. Mr. Thomas, the local checkweigher, who represented the applicant, said Thomas told the board he had only one eye they examined him and told him he would be all right. Captain Wilson There are many men In France to-day with one eye, Mr. Thomas But the other eye is defective' The Chairman, reading from a certificate by Dr. Thomas, the eye specialist—" He has defective vision in the right eye and the left is totally blind." Mr. Leyshon observed that befose the man was placed in the Army he would be examined to see what unit he was fit for. The Tribunal granted the application for examination by medical assessors. J NO INTENTION TO APPEAL AGAIN, The Rev. Mr. Davies, of Ystradgynlais' asked for an order for another medical exami- nation for his son. He said he did not want to keep his son from the Army, and his son was willing to go but he wanted him to be put to the greatest service, and not be so placed as to result in his being in hospital or sent home ill. The lad was once totally rejected by a medical board, and it would save him (the speaker) great anxiety if he were convinced he was in Grade 1. i Mr. Leyshon What will you do if he is passed in Grade 2 are you going to let him go to the Army ? • Mr. Davies Certainly. You are not going to appeal for him ?-No. Application granted, j
