A REMARKABLE HAIR TONIC. Considering the countless hair tonics and ♦rashes which are offered to tho public, it is interesting to'learn that Bernard Beer, the popu- lar chemist, of Old Colwyn, has secured tho agency for a tonic of remarkable value as a .lair grower and destroyer of the dandruff germ, and he is authorised by the proprietors to re- turn the money to any purchaser who is dis- satisfied with the results after the use of a full bottle. This now tonic, Harriett Meta's Gold Medal Hair Tonic, was recently awarded a Gold Medal by the Vienna Jubilee Exposition, and our readers will readily understand the secrcts of it success when they learn that it is made from Madame Meta's world-famous formula of Bay Rum, Lavona de Composer, Menthol Crystals, ttsa French Fon Fleur Perlume. If you suffer from falling hair, baldness, dandruff, an itching scalp, dry, brittle, or dull hair, you should at once purchase a bottle from Bernard Beer. The price is only 28 lid for a large bottle, and he will give you a signed guarantee to refund Your money if you are dissatisfied.

For some time Llanberis will be made the headquarters, and the scope of operations will P-xtend as far as Carnedd Llewelyn and Carncdd Dafydd, thus embracing a considerable portion of the most rugged country in the Snowdon dis- trict The work is intended more especially for the benefit of young officers,. and it is undertaken Under the direct auspices of the War Office, and, as it differs materially from the staff rides which have previously taken place in North Wales, it liav be regarded as an important experiment. Major Brace, who has considerable experience Of scouting operations abroad, and is well ac- quainted with the Snowdon district accompanies the party as lecturer.

Roberts (clerk), and Mr David Jones (aspistam: clerk). REVISION OF LISTS. The Board waa divided for the purpose of re- vising the out-rc-ika* lists. Mr R. O. Williams presided over a meeting- of the Carnaartronshire Guardians, and Mr Owen Jones over a number of the Merionethshire Guardians. The work resulted in a few shillings' decrease in the total amount of out-reiief. THE MEDICAL OFFICER AND THE BOARD. The Clerk bad, at the request of the Board, written to Dr. R. T. Jones, the medical officer, Harlech, pointing out to him that unless he for- warded the monthly returns regularly in future the matter would be reported to tho Loca.U Gov- ernment Board. Dr. Jones now replied to the letter, express- ing regret for his dilatorinesa in the past, aDd promising' to send the returns more promptly in future. He stated that he had no list of the Boafd meetings. Tho Chairman did not consider Dr. Jones' letter ai being- eatisfactocry. A SAD CASE. The Medical Officer reported the case of a widow, the mother of two babies. The ch* iclrt.n were badly nourished. Too much water was put in the milk given to the children. They were put to sleep in one cradle, which was in a filthy condition. The mother was mentally inoapabLe to take charge of the little ones. Tne Relieving Officer stated that tho woman came from Dolgeliey Union, where she received out- reiief, which was stopped' owing to alleged rnisbe- havicux. The -of the I' a.t.iona.J. Society for the Prevention of Crueity to Children had taken charge of one of the children It was decided to grant the woman relief in kind, and also to forward the Medical Officer's letter to the Dolgel'ey Union. BOARDING-OUT. It was decided to loave the matter of the boarding-out of certain three children in the h-atxi; of the Boarding-Out Committee. COUNTY CALLS. The Carnarvon County Council forwarded a precept to the Board for £1799, J6455 of which was a spcciai levy. The rate was 9d jn the J3, being àJ: in the £ TiEl: than last year. Replying to a question, the Assistant Clerk said, that the Merioneth county rate was about the same as last year. THE TRAMP QUESTION. A communication was received from the Ban- gor and Beaumarii Union stating that a confer- ence had been held at Bangor to consider the best, means to adopt to dieal with vagrants. The coisfo-rence parsed a resolution to the effect that a oommittoe should be formed, representing the various Unions, to devise tome system that would deal efficaciously with the matter. The Chairman said that Festiniog Union was already doing what the conference suggested should be done, and that he could not see what good would: resuit if the Board sent a repre- Ive sentotive to the propoised] committee. No delegate was appointed. THE TEMPORARY RELIEF DISQUALI- FICATION. The Boa.rd were veked to support an amend- ment. in the law in Tegard to tt?e franchise dis- qualification of a man who might, under stress of circumstances, be forced to seek temporary re- lief. Mr Tegid Jo-n-es did not think that any real hardship Wa. caused at present. The Chairman demurred, and said that it was very unfair that a man should loee his vote bc- cau oB he was forced by cirpuinstances to seek temporary relief. He moved that. they support the application. Air Richard Roberts having .seconded the pro- posal, it was passed unanimously. KING EDWARD VII's. MEMORIAL. Arising out of the consideration of a hand- book published in Wol"h and English, and d-oal- ing with the treatment of children, the question of dealing with tuberculosis was mentioned. The Chairman remarked! that he waa glad a general campaign against tuberculosis had been started in memory of King Edward VII. It would bo an 1 inestimable blessing to the country in general. A conference had been held at Shrewsbury to further the movement. He (the chairman) krxrw of no better memorial to the late King than the one initiated.

Mr Perkins, commenting on the balance-sheet for the year, remarked that the paltry sum of 31s contributed by the people of Pens-am to- wa.rds ad vert wing the distr.ct was nothing short of disgraceful. Mr D. G. Robert3 gave it ae his opinion that it took the lodging-house keepers "of Pensarn all thir timo to make both ends meet. ELECTION OF COMMITTEES AND OFFICERS. Mr P-orkirid and Mr Thomas were re-elected hon. treasurer and hon. secretary respectively. The General, Sports, and Carnival Committees were re-eected en bloc. • With the names of Messrs T.

MR BALFiOUR AT EDINBURGH. I Mr Balfour, at. Edinburgh, yesterday.

Co-operative Societies are better able to insuw their mem- bers against fraud, for even when the proper guarantees are gi'.en, farmers, as individual, rarely have an ay.-is made. Tlicse societies euso enable tho fai-nwr to secure the bast marke-c for t'he sale of tlie produce, and this is done b) or- gamsxig the milk supply to towns on a co-opera- tivo basis, so UUl.t it may be dealt with under better sanitary conditions, and that rraucii of the profit now secured by the -middle man shall go into the larmerti' pçoketG.

In. districts where the railway t.Kiiiitiee were in £ d«;quate; the society has been able to induce tiio ne,.rc,.t railway com- pany to run a motor goods eervace- at rnodarate- rates between one of its stations ar-d the depots of a Co-operative Socioty formol in the outiy- ing district; the toqal society urKiortaking to act as agent for the traffic at itj a.cd cf tho route. The bcciety iulco hires or buys .1 stations, bulls, etc., for tlie use of their me.m-bers at small fees and arrangements ior all kinds of agricul- tural insurance; the society further acquires land and sub-lets it to menibcrs in small holdings or allotments. The establishment of agricultural credit banks is also an important part of the so- ciety's work. The- need of cheap credit for tho productive purpose of farmers, small cultivators, allotment holders, and the labouring classes gene- rally, is very g-r.a.t. Large farmeie as a rule can obtain monetary advances, whereas smaller Okies are often un-a.b!-e to do so at all. The object of these societies is to help these smaller poop'.c to obtain similar advantag:ps by oom.bina- tion. As might have been expected, tire rapid pro- gress of the Ag.ricuJ&arai Co-oparaUve move- ment in 1908, due, as it was, mainly, to the for- mation of societies lor the -purpose of acquiring land under the Small Holdings and Allotments Act, was not maintained in 1909. Nevertheless, 54 new societies were formed, being a larger number than, in any previous year, except lSvB. Of new societies? 24 were small holdings or allotments societies, and ten wore agricultural credit srjeietiee, indicating that, as in 1908, greater progress was made in the organisation of th-c small cultivator than in the organi-.atio.i of the larger farmer. Progress in this latter respect is not, however, to be judged entirely by the now societies formed, as the present tendency of existing societies rather than to multiply the num- ber of small societies. In 1909 there were 281 so- cieties affiliated to the Agricultural Organisation Socic-ty, 54 societies established or becoming affiliated, while 14 societies ceased to exist in 1909, the net increase in the number of societies in 1909 being 40. The total number of societies formed by, or affiliated to the Agricultural Or- ganisation Society, on December 31st, 1909, was 321. During that year new societies were formed in 26 oounties, six being formed) in Glamorgan- shire, and 14 in tho rest of Wales. The total membership of the societies affiliated to, or formed by the Agricultural- Organisation Sceiety, iraneasied! from 16,550 on December 3h.t, 1008, to about 19,500 on December 31st, 1909; while aggregate turn over increa~od from £ 749,000 in 19G8 to about £ 860,000 in 1909. The Board of Agriculture's grant. to the so- ci-oty dated from April 1st, 1909, was E1200, but the gTant in any year is to be calculated upon the income of the society from subscriptions and donAtions in the previous year.

LORD MIDLETON AND THE PAYMENT OF MEMBERS. MORE UNPAJD WOJJK FOR THE COUNTRY NEEDED. Lord Midlcton, speaking at W-tiahpool, on Friday week, said that although the alluring prospect of a fe-cc-ond, ekotion in present yc-a-r which vtas dang-led before them a few monthe ago licc-incd at preiseut remote, this autumn would be a very critical one. The Unionist forces wer a mti-siaring, and judging Iby the state oi the tnemy s ranks they never had 'higher hopes and -i prospects. In January t £ ie bovcirni^cut got- a majority of 100; for three months al'terw-ards tiiey were labouring? to get their followers to pass th,e Budget on which they went to the country. To achieve this they had thirown the Consti- tution into the melting-pot, they had hope- leasly divided the i,arty, they had had to g-ive pledges w h-kli they were already fC: gptfctiag, a-nd they had taught the tail of their .pai-ty that it was stronger than the h-eod. tail now demanded a further in- road on the Parli-ajn*ntary system by paying mcmlKir-. For oeiiittirkii..past xasa of ability had served the country for nothing, and they oxigiirt fairly ask whether in Fans ,or Wash- ington representative men had been obtained by payment. Could the system stop with the LLOUSO of Commoas? Would not all the loe-al .bodies be 'turned tom volun- tary to paid service.? There wad 3. strong case for redoing the cost of ejections and for facilitating tho se?rvice of Labour mem- becti. But what would be the independence of a. man 'who owed hit- seat to party 6uppoz t aiid oouid be deprived, of « £ 'l'09 a year by the pairty Whip. lie suggested that they must look lOrwaid to a day when .ev-e"i-yon:8 must do more unpaid work for his country rather tiiian lees, and consider, not what th-c OOUIltry could do 'ior them, but xether what th.¿:y c.nr:d do for the country. Alluding to the effects of the Budget, Lord MitL-eten said the Government had revived the practice of the Tudo-rs -and the tl-tuarte, 'The Grand Inquisitor now pried into the life, income, and savings of each taxpayer. P.co- ple who had invited savings in lend were it riven to lawy-ers and Eu-rveyors to preiserve th«m. fiom the clutxJheis of a Government which had a 1 ready dou'bled their taxa-tion and claimed one-fiiffch of pro,it. and people w-ho owned bre^v<,ry shares had se«n half their Ipioperty removeid at a tf-troke.

LLANDUDNO AND DISTRICT FIELD CLUB. LXCURCIOM TO THEFRSVtf AND LUANRW3T. On Saturday woek, there vias = excursion of ,tb.a above ekib to the Trefriw Fiaranel Mills and Gwy>iir DCha Cha-pel, i*&a.r Llai:irwst. With a view to varying the prograxrane the journey to Llanrwst was made by water, tho club availing themselves of oaie of ihe boats of the St. G-eorete's Steaatba.it Company, w'hiofi left Dogaawy abut 12.30. After a very pleasant passage up tho river, Trefriw pier was reached ailx;>iit 2 p.m., whence tho party at, ooce pro- ooedod. to the Treiiriw Flannel Mills, where the proprietor, Mr William, was ready to receive t'hern. The mills are worked entirely by water power, and gre economy is effecte-l by the use of two water turbines. The pr-e.Sure of water is about 15ft., but this is quite sufficient with the aid of tho turbine- to work all the varied machinery or the establishment, and as far as the jiower is concerned, this is carried on effi- ciently and noiselessly. The firm of Thomas Williams andi Sons have carried; on the manufacture* of flaiinc-I goods for about 43 years. The early years were years of hard work, but by patient in¿u-3try the business has steadily grown and the premises have had to be. enlarged tnroe times, the most modern improvements in maohiueiy being adopted. The wool is reo?i\cd from. the farmers of tlie district in fioeece, which are opened and sorted into the various qualities. Most of 1. is dyed and dried, a.nd then taken to the teazling room, where it i.,i oiled1 and teamed, pulled to pieces and rcduccd to a fin-e state of division. It is then taken to th,3 carding machines, which process Oi.CTM the weol up and brings it out in the form of yarn, ready for spinning. It is marvellous the dhaLlge thatt takes plaoe. in this process of scribbling, carding and condtensi-ng. From these machines it is taken to be. spun, which- is dono cu. oek-actisig machines. Alter leaving the spin- ning process, the yarns which are intended for warp are taken to tlie. warping mill, whiJe the weft is taken to the winding machines, and both these processes prc-pare for tlie looms. After weaving together the weft and the warp, the web is taken to the- scouring house or finishing- room. Here it is scoured, milled, and washed, and it is them put through fix- raising- and crop- ping marines, and finally under the press. But no dteseription can give- an adequate idea of the many varied and interesting processes of tw-edi and serge manufacture, and these oan only be wo-ri to bei thoroughly appreciated. Tho rsof the club were delighted- at whai they saw, and their thanks were g'ivea to Mr Wil- liams for his courtesy.

GWYDIR UCHA CHAPEL. Ixiavli.ig the Flannel MilLs, the party tn proceedi&ti along tha road to Gwydir, t.ii dod to Gwydir Ucha to see the email c. aj el, which lies hiddien among the woods. Here they were met by Mr T. Griffith, agent to the estate, w'ho showed thorn over the building, It is a Post Reformation edifice, and the date 1673 is cve'r ti-e door and also in the interior. It re- sembles the chapel at Llanrwst, is oblong and undivided and the roof is coved and boarded, painted with figures of angels. The lower part, of each wall is wainscottad, and the altar has fairly good: oak carving. The north doorway has a round arch. The connreunion tablo has on it the date 1641. There are no pews and the chairs lace west. There is an old prayer book and Bible, bound together and bearing the tfcOe 1638. Mr Thos. Griffith invited the members- to tea, which was greatly appreciated after the walk along th. dusty road. A hearty vote of thanks was given to Mr and Mrs Griffith. The party subsequently walked to Llanrwst Station, which was reached at 7 p.m. and Llandudno readied eazoo time after 8.

DEATH OF A CHILD AT LLANFAIRFECHAN. BODY FOUND IN A BOX. CORONER'S INQUEST. Mr J. Pentir Williams, the coroner for North ^Carnarvonshire, resumed, at Llanf&ir- fcchan, on Tuesday, the inquest on the body of a baby, alleged to be that of Lowrie Berry, cook at the Clergy Home of Rffit, IJ a-nfcur- fecjfran. Mr Timmins was th-e ftyrcrcan of the jury. At the opening o'f tfce inquest it was stated tha<t the chiud was found in a box in Barry's bedroom. Dr. E. O. Price, divisional police surgeon, of Ba-ngocr, said he conducted a poet-mortem eixamination of the body, which was folly developed, f.a.i-rly well "nourished, and weighed 7-.fbs., the average weight of a newly--t"-in child being about SJMJS. A c-ireful exaniina- tion was made for signs of violence, but he found none, axd there was -no injury with t3ic exception of an excoriation on the front of the nck. T'he lungs and the. heart were tested, and it was found that the baby had breathed. The child was wanting in blood, with the exception of the brain. Death was caufod by seEni-^uffocation, or semi-drowning which was due to the f-aoL that there was no on-o present with ithe mother at the time oi the birth. Witness bevieved the baby would have lived had there been anyone with the mother at the birth. Dr. Hughes, who was also paosent at tho poet-mcctem, said he came to the con- clusion that the child had a separate exist- ence. Berry told him she gave bi-rth to the ch id at seven o'clock on Monday. September 12th. The Coroner: Did she tell you it was 'born aliver—She did mot &av it "was .born olive. The health of the poor girl has been very bad, and she nearly died. I was 'with her yesterday, and told her that i.n consequence of what (had happened, (there would have tb be an inquest. 1 sacd that there was to be an adjourned inquest, and that s-h& could cttnnd, and make a statement at it, if she Jikcd. The Cicconer: Will you ascertain whether she would like to make a voluntary (state- ment? Hr. Clifton Hughes, thereupon, went to P-rc Ber.T-y, and on his return saJd "She does not dt-sire to be present, and does cot to make- a voluntary statement. Suipt. Guest, who was (pre-sent üll behalf of the police, elicited from Dr. Cilifton Hughes that tie child 'lived probably only a few nainu-tcs. It was wra,pped loosely in a pctl-icoat. When he wafi pr«»:nt in Berry's room, on the day after the birth, he suspected there was some-thing wrorg, but he did rot. think it was his duty to inform polio?. The (brcner: Yes; you were in a difficult position. Yon saw no body. Supt. Guest: Was it the result of her amsweirs to vcur questions that you searched Tar the dhild?—I looked round, and not find- ing the child, I asked questions, which she answered.

"&OKRY FOR WHAT HAD HAPPENED." Pcocsceding, the Doctor said he asked Berry if she had given birth to a child, and she said, "No," but -admitted she had "been preg- nant for fivig months or more, and th-at she was pregnant when she cams to th.e H-omc. ShE" el,&o gave other information to witness. Stfbsequently, -she told witneeis shoe was very sJon-y for whá-t had happened. She said that sno had been ill on Sunday night, and on Monday, and whilst in a fit the, gave birth to the child, whioh did not cry or move. She placcd it in a petticoat, thk-n in a box, and said nothing about it. The Coroner remarked that tho girl's state- ment was more in her favour than anything else. Nurse iMary Hug-hes, Willow Grove, Llan- fairfechan, stat<d that the was callod to &IC the mother of the child, who was in a very bad condition, but ali, did not discover the child ull,til shc- wis Wid about it on tho Fri- day. W itness opened "the box in which tihe child was found, and thte doctor was sent for. Dtr. CLfftort Hugftcs (re-caKed) said that Berry was in the room at the top of Jhoe ruse when the birth occur end. IV: Lady Supexinb^rde^it of the dea-gy Home of itest (Miss Borridaie) coniinced the evidence she gave at the opening of tihe in- quest. Berry told her that she had a baby adltar Vritncss had said sho noticed a disagree- able srnell in the room. Prior to the dis- covetry of the body, a mfdlca-I gentleman stav- ing in the house went to see Berry, and asked wheth're she could account for the presence of blood, but she could not. T'he box in which the body was found was about 41 fec-t from the bed, and there were various utensils on the box. Ihe box was generally used as a washing stand, it being a fixture. Berry WTut<2 to a young man a letter, which elie handed to witness to read, ajid it contained a statement that there had been no baby. W itnov, had no suspicion that Berry was cnciente. Eerry had not requested the at- V'-eciincr? of a doctor. If she had cried on Monday night, &he could havo been hoard in the kitchen. One of tihe fxrvaaits tried to enter Berry's room on Monday night, but she would not- open the door. bupt. Guest: Did not that make you sus- picious? Witness: Yes"; and that is why I went up qirickly, and ordered her to open at once. Kate Harrison, housemaid at the Home, said that on Monday evening she was seat witn coup to Berry's bedroom, and she found the door kckod. Benry spoke to her, and asked for a pail, but wetness replied she would ask someone else to fetch at. as she was too bufcy. She did not 'believe if Borry had cried uiie could have been hieard from th-e kitchen. Witness had not suspectcd Berry akhough she worked wi.t,h her. Ann-e Evans, parlour-maid at the Home, stated that the La<st witne'ss, about nine o c-ock, asked her to take a buck-at and floor- cloth outside Berry's room, tie door of which was iockcd. Witness had no Buspicions.
