I "SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE." It is with great regret that we have to announce the death of one of our young soldiers in Franca Pioneer Evan Llewelyn Evans, the only son of Mr and f Mrs R. Pugh Evans, Bridge Cottage, j Williams' Buildings, who had not quite reached his 21st year. The sad new,, was-first conveyed to the parents in the following kind and sympathetic letter from one of the Officers 10th Jcly, 1916. Dear Mrs Evan I have some dreadful news to break to you. Your son, Llewelyn, was accidentally killed this evening while cleaning his revolver. It has been a terrible blow to all the section, who were all fond of your son. He was a dear boy, and I can tell be must have been a most loving son. The news will be terrible for you, and I wish to offer you my deepest sympathy in this Re bad just been your great sorrow. He bad just been through two attacks, in which be showed himself a, brave and faithful soldier. 1 With my deepest sympathy, Yours most sincerely, RAYMOND TAYLOR. Con L-radic tory, reports frora* the War Office followed this, in which it was stated that he was only wounded, and that he had been discharged from hospital. ,Bat last Sunday morning a report* came frooi the sums office that the flt-st news was unfortunately correct All the town sympathise deeply with the parents in their sore bereavement nnd sad disappointment, especially after the more hopeful reports which had reached them. Evan Llewelyn was a young man of amiablo disposition, and a great favourite with all who knew him. He was a member of Siloam Congre- gational Church, andtonching reference was made to his death by the Pagtor at the evening service on Sunday. The father and mother have been deeply impressed by tbo expression of condolence from a large number of friends in the town, and they wish through this paper to convey to them their appreciation and thanks.

AN OYER PRODUCTION OF POISON. I Some people produce uric acid twice as fast as others, an^, n overload of this poison is a serious thing for anyone. It comes in different ways, but the most productive causes are over-exertion and eating too mucb, particularly' of meat. Some allowance should be made to those suffering from uric acid com- plaints, for they can't help being nervous,' morose, cross, suspicious, headachy, djzsv, at times, and racked with all sorts of queer pains. The rheumatic sufferer knows what real pain is like, and it is no wonder he grows old too fstllt-Bud sooner or later developes heart trouble, seiatica, gravel, dropsy, or hardening of the arteries. Tbe sensible thing to do is to take warning at the first sign that uric acid is developing—eat less meat, and not too much of any food. Drink plenty of both milk and water. Take regular exercise, and get eight hours sleep seven nights a week. Use Doan's Backache Kidney Pills to repair the weakened kidneys and help them filtor uric acid from the blood; You can't be really well while an excess of this poison remains in the system. There is scarcely a man or woman in Barmouth who has not a good word for Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, the special kidney medicine that does not claim to cure everything.

'I WELSH CASE IN THE HOUSE -1 I 11 OF LORDS. On Friday last, tke House of Lords delivered judgement in the case of ¡, David Jones, sohooinmster, Rhoairwaen, I against Mr and Mrs Hugh Jone.s, of the same place. The action was originally brought by Mr David Jones, headmaster of the Council School at Rhosirwaen, against Mr and Mrs Hugh Jones for alleged slander, it being alleged that that the female defendant bad charged him with having bad improper relations with a married woman in the district. The defendants denied the allegation, but when the action was tried at the Assizes, before Mr Justice Lush, the jury found that the words complained of had been spoken by the female defend- antant, and that they did in fact charge the plaintiff with morality. They also found that the charge would prejudicially I affect him in his office as schoolmaster, I and damages were assessed at £10. After hearing the arguments in London, I the judge entered judgement for the I' plaintiff for £ 12 and costs. The defend- ants appealed to the Court of Appeal, who reversed the decision, and judge- ment was given for the defendants with costs. The plaintiff then appealed to the House of Lords. The, plaintiff was represented by Sir Robert Finlay, K.C., M.P.; Mr R. M. Mortgomery, H.C; Mr A. A. Thomas, and T. E. Morris, instruc- ted by Messrs. Baker and Vaime, solicitors for the National Union of, Teachers, whilst the defendants were represented by Mr F. A. Greer, K.C Mr Artemus Jones, acd Mr Clement Davies, instructed by Messrs.
