I Boy Scouts Association. I On Friday evening last, a meeting was held at tha Belle Vue Hall for the purpose of initiating a branch of the i Boy Scouts Association at Barmouth. i There were present about sixty boys, ] J! whose parents bad signed forms desir- [ ing them to be admitted into the troop. The chair was taken by the Rev. R. Lloyd Roberts, M.A, who delivered a broad-minded manly address in which be greatly eulogised the effort to estab- lish a branch at Barmouth, as he con- sidered it one of the best means to in- culcate into the minds of the boys the principle of obedience, courtesy, and honesty, attributes that surely no sane person can object to. The Chairman, in introducing Col. Enthoven, said they were fortunate in having a man of the standing of the Colonel to initiate the movement at Barmouth. An attempt had been made previously, on more than one occasion, to start the movement, but owing to opposition and want of support it bad been left to slide He hoped that a strong representative Committee would now be formed, and that the boys, their parents and employers would greatly benefit from the training. On raising to address the meeting, Colonel Enthoven was received with hearty applause. He had previously spent half-an-hour with the boys and the two Scout-masters, impressing upon their minds the necessity of implicit obedience to parents, employers and all those in authority over them. In apply- ing for membership a boy bad to de- clare on his honour to do his best. 1. To do his duty to God and the King. 2. To help other people at all times. 3. To obey the Scout law. The speaker went over the ten Scout laws, as he considered that they would speak for themselves more eloquently than any- thing he could say. briefly the Scout laws are concerned with honour, loyalty, utility, friendship, courtesy, animal friendship, obedience, cheerfulness, thrift, and lastly" A Scout is clean in thought, word, and deed, a Scout is pure and clean minded and manly. Every candidate for membership is to be im. pressed with the solemnity of his pro. mise, and particularly when that pio- mise is made on his Honour. The speaker thought it was the duty of every one who wanted to see their boys growing up good, honest, honourable, and patriotic citizens, to do their best to help the Boy Scouts at all times to act up to beir serious undertaking. While the regulations required every Scout to have a religion of some kind, it bad absolutely nothing to do with any particular creed, neither does it in any way foster the spirit of militarism, un- less discipline, courtesy and order are considered military attributes. Colonel Enthoven went on to describe the steps to be taken in foiming a branch. A Local Committee would have to be formed. This Committee would be elected by the Associates. Any lady or gentleman would become an Associate by being a subscriber, of however small a sum, and he hoped that a large num- ber of the good people in Barmouth would help the movement by becoming Associates and subscribe from a shilling upwards. Subscriptions would be grate- fully received and acknowledged by Mr J. Jones, The Library, or the Scout Masters, Mr D. R. Williams, Cambrian Establishment, and Mr D. Caradog Evans, Glanymor. Mr D. Roberts, N.P. Bank, expressed his entire sympathy with the movement and wished it all success. Mr A. J. Hewins, referring to the Boy Scouts who camped near the town a short time ago, said it was a pleasure to pass their camp-so well behaved and courteous the boys were, eager at every turn to do some one a good turn, and when they left, every scrap of litter was carefully cleared, away. Mr Clark of London, who is in the employ of Dr. Keightley and now on a visit at Barmouth, spoke with the highest possible praise ot the Boy Scouts of whom his own son was a member. When the worst Zeppelin raid took place in London, Boy Scouts who happened to live in the vicinity, were the very first on the scene to render assistance and with their stretchers they rapidly conveyed many wounded to their homes and many dead to the mortuary. The next item on the agenda was a touching ceremony-the presentation of the Scout bats to the two Scoutmasters, on their appointment as probationary masters—it would be three months be- fore they would receive their 11 warrant from General Baden-Powell. On behalf of his friend and himself, Mr D. R. Williams assured the meeting that they would do all they could to make the movement a success, and help to make the boys better boys, and he trusted that kind words and deeds would prevail on all hands. A hearty vote ot thanks was passed to Colonel Enthoven for his interesting and lucid explanations. The Colonel thought that the number admitted into the troop at first should not exceed 24, and as there were about 60 candidates, admis- sion would be gained by merit. In about a fortnight an examination would be held, and the 24 boys" with the top score would be enrolled, it therefore behoved the boys to work bard at their prepar- ations, and once they were enrolled, he trusted that nothing would ever happen in word or deed that would necessitate their expulsion, for that would be a dis- grace. The BoyVequipment must be provided by degrees. A letter was received from Lieut- General Sir R. Baden-Powell in which he expressed a hope that some day be- fore long he would be able to visit the district to inspect the boys. The Local Unit, under the command of Mr D. Roberts, N. P. Bank, beaded by the Barmouth Coronation Silver, under the conductorship of Mr W. E. Williams, was in attendance.
RHEUMATISMand KIDNEY TROUBLE
RHEUMATISMand KIDNEY TROUBLE FREE TREATMENT. Rheumatism is due to uric acid crys- tals in the joints and muscles, the result of excessive uric acid in the system that the kidneys failed to remove as nature intended, and this acid is to a great extent the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. The success of Estora Tablets for the treatment of rheumatism and other forms of kidney trouble is due to the fact that they restore the kidneys to healthy action and thereby remove the cause of the trouble, and have cured" numberless cases after the failure of other remedies, which accounts for them fast superseding out-of-date medicines that are sold at a price beyond all but the wealthy. To prove Estora Tablets fully warrant their description-an honest remedy at an honest price—one full box of 40 tablets will be sent to readers of the Barmouth Advertiser as a free sample on receipt of this notice and 3d. in stamps to cover postage, packing, etc. Sold by chemists, 1/lf per box of 40 tablets, or six boxes for 6s. For full box sample addrass Estora Co., 132, Charing Cross Road, London, W.C.
