f 11BEDWELLTY FOOD CONTROL…
f 11 BEDWELLTY FOOD CONTROL COMMITTEE.- I THE MILK SUPPLY. I I Mr J. Crew, Blackwood, presided I at a meeting of the Bedwellty F >od Committee ar Aberbargoed on Mon- day evening, when a trood deal of time was devoted to discuss the milk question. It transpired that r hi-re was a considerable shortage of supply in the area, and that a very anomalous and difficult position prevailed. It was clear from the discussion that the want of uuiforraity in prices aggrava- ted the situation. Mifk is retailed in the Gelligaer area, on the opposite aide of the Rbymney Valley, at lOd. per quart, whereas in accordance with the edict of the Committee Vendors in the Bed well tv area, are obliged to deliver milk at 9d. per quart, and this is the rub. Mr Lane, one of the keenest members of the committee, pointed out significantly that when a vendor sold his business, it probably meant the curtailment of the supply in the area, and one of the largest vendors in the New Tredegar district had disposed of his round. It was also stated that a rumour was our-ont t-iat some vendors in the Bedwellty Area were selli ig at lOd. per quart, and others at 9d., and that if this were so it oaused an unequal diatri- bution of the supply that came in. The member from the Argoed district alleged that preferential treatment wae given that a certain "el.dor supplied the Hotel and other places, where they might manage without milk, and ignored dwellings w here there were children and in- valids. The Chairman said they were in a most difficult position. VenJora wont deliver irilk because the com- mittee had fixed 9d. on delivery, and were doing away with their horses, &o. Other vendors sold their milk in other districts, and that was only reasonable seeiug that they got a higher price.—Mr Lane: When a person gives up his round, we are the losers of that milk it goes out of the district.-The Chairman said he had received a letter from a vendor, who asked the oommiltee, seeing the diffi- culty they wore placed in by neigh- bouring authorities allowing milu to be sold at lOd. per quart, would it not be better to allow them to sell at the maximum price ? The Chairman said he was not going to do anything of the sort on his own. A member uked if they granted the request, would it increase the supply, to which the Chairman answered, it would se- cure a more equal distribution. The Clerk (Mr T. J. Thomas) explalred that when Gelligaer lowered the price there was a shortage (or a long time. Mr Lane said there wu a shortage all over the country. What he wanted was their fair proportion. Mr W. iiuftoa (Holly Bush) remarked that if they increased the price they would not gflfc a better supply. The Chair- man aaked was it possible for the venders to get a living ou the 9J, if not, he Was going. to support the maximum. He wanted'every working man to got a livimg.-Mr Bufton There is a living at 9d., provided one man and a horse distributes 90 gallons per day.—Mr Bvan Thomas (Aber- bargoed) said the desidemtnm was a fair and equal distribution. The Chairman thought there was no good purpose ia pursuing the diseassion, as there appeared to be no solution. Mr Lane: There must be a solution with some selling at lOd. and others at 9d, The Executive Officer (Mr Davids) was instructed to otake inquiries u to the prieeg charged in the area, an d the Clerk instructed to write re the alleged preferential treatment. Capt. Leefe Robinsen, V C., the gallant airman who brought dow n the first Zeppelin in England, died on Tuesday evening near Harrow from innuenM. It was during the Zep peHn raid on September, 3, 1916, that Capt Robiq ibf01lgh' down the airship &t CnB?y?, fer whiek ?t? be? 'wo e V.O. ..t.

I -I WASTE THAT POLISHES GRAND…
I WASTE THAT POLISHES GRAND PIANOS I JIVen the most unattractive waste materials I have their value. Nothing is more depressing, than a broken bottle. But broken fragments of white glass can be fused together, can be 1 rased in making new scent bottles, medicine bottles, feeding bottles, funnels, and spirit I levels. The pale green bottle produces new glaas of a different quality, and usually re- appears in the form of pickle bottCes and jam jars. The dark blue, green, and black glass reappears in wine and beer bottles. ThM J&st grade of glass is also crushed and used in making sand-paper, which is, inci- dentally, a good example of salvage, the paper base being made from rags, t.he ^lue from bones, and the abrasive surface from battles. Few would connect the cry of Rags, bones, or bottles with the high finish of the motor- car or grard, piano, ar would guess that several tons of sand paper are used daily in the London factories alone.
HOME-MADE TOYS. I
HOME-MADE TOYS. I SALVAGE AS A VILLAGE INDUSTRY, J One of the most interesting stalls at the re- I cent Exhibition of Salvage ia London was devoted to toys. Here is an industry which provides great (;(lpe for a fuller use of waste materials, and in which, 119 everybody knows, Germans long ago ,'to:C a mnrchupon lis- What a variety of toys, for instance, can be made. even at home, from old cigar boxes, with a little ingenuity and a fret-saw! The disabled soidiers at the Lord Roberts Memorial Workshops and elsewhere have shown how much can be done by men who have been crippled ia the service of their country. This subject wil-l be found to repay study by those who are interested in the revival of village industries, and particularly by those who are taking to heart the problem of finding permanent occupation for our disabled heroes. Of great interest, too, were the exhibits of hospital supplies, adapted, with great in- genuity, from the various scraps of waste materia! that. come to hand in most house- holds. The waistcoats lined with digc= kid gloves, splints made fl'omugar bags, mats from old stockings, and bed pans from i paper and muslin are all excellent examplel el domestic .salvage. [ THE VALUE Of SCRAP RUBBER. t The many uses to which scrap rubber can be put are an excellent illustratinii of the maxim that matter is indestructible. Here ts a solid 'bus tyre, which has covered a few thousand miles of the London streets. Mixed with, scrap leather, it will return to the streets onee more in the fo»- < T tü. ee.legi-- or, by another transformation, as crutch-tips for wounded seldiers. The red inner tubes I familiar to motorists win a new lease of life II as ground sheets. An old gum-boot can be used in the making of a new gum-boot, while a mass of miscellaneous rubber, which seems to the casual eye to be beyond hope of re- clamation, comes back into use in the form of pedal rubbers, washers, pram tyres, e?gme- packing, stair treads, aod squeegee rub- t:rs. Those who are giving up their wzap rubber for the benefit of the Red Cross will realise that it will not be wasted. AEROPLANE TO MOTOR-CAR. 1 One of the most ingenious achievements off. salvage is tii- utilisation of parts from crashed aeroplanes. The steel tubing is used by makers of bicycles, and even takes its place in bedsteads and invalids' chairs. It seme cases &eroplane parts have been adapted for use on motor-cars.
SALVAGE IN GERMANY. I
SALVAGE IN GERMANY. I COLLECTION OF WASTE MATERIAL j It is a ccommonplace that Germany could not have held out for four years wffchowt an organised system of salvage, but few people in this country realise how thoroughly the problem was tackled. The following account was written shortly befoie the armistice: "In each Tillage in Crermany the Chief. Magistrate has the dutv to see that the ia- habitants of the village bring all their waste material to the Official Collecting Centre; the tiia* at which this has to be done is announced by placards every mouth or half month. Every bead Of a family or head of a household is bound (under pain of punishment) to see that nothing is wasted; everything that seems use- 1638 must be collected. The waste material of greatest value is metal, useless cooking utensils of all kinds of metals, worn-out tools and other workmen's implements, ribbons, wire, nails, and then all kinds of old ckrthcs, from stockings to hats, and kitchen wa&te. Amongst the country people the waste mete- rial is uaed for feeding animals. The popula- ,tion of the town has, on the contrary, to give up every kind of waste from the kitchen j diily,. For instance, it is obligatory to re- jpove the grealse from plates and dishes by beating them and washing it off with a very little water, which is then collected in pails. bta"m showed that in Berlin four to five tkousaad kilos of fat were obtained daily fnm the collection of rinsing water (in the I town alone). This fat is used for lubricating "d for the manufacture of soaps. "The ekias of all kinds of small animals (hares, mbbits, &c.), every kind of hair, leathers, &e., must aJI be collected. liD the kra- tioirni, carts and motors have been I oegaaissd for this purpose, which go round ta each house every day in. the morning at a See* hour, at which time the inhabitants must bong the waste material dowjk and empty it iste: dis carte. In Berlin and the other big IIMru the whole business must b.2 finished beim 7 a.m.

THE COAL OUTLOOK.I
THE COAL OUTLOOK. I INTERVIEW WITH THE COAL I CONTROLLER. -1 There in every prospect of the fint 100,000 coal miners being released from the army before the end of the year. Sir Gay Calthrop, the Coal Con- troller, in an interview with a press representative said I should like to utter a word of warding against expecting too great a result from tbis influx of labour to the mines. It is only fair to aaaume that the soldier miners will not go direct from the field of battle to the mines. They I will want like other soldiers an inter- val for change and rest before return- ing to work underground. The effect will, therefore, be gradual, and I do not think will be felt until the middle of January. I am afraid there will be no re- lief from rationing this winter, but the rationing system will cease tho moment it can be safely done in the national interest. Rationing mnat. eontinue until reserves of coal ?re > created for transport, domestic and public utility purposes. At preSt ut j there are praotieally no reserve stof ks i and it will take three or four months before they are built up to the bafety point. It may be that the first effect I of more abundant coal supplies will be to permit more gas and electricity ( but it is too early to say definitely. I To imagine that the coal trouble is over, and to heedlessly burn rations t I is aa extremely unwise proceeding, j Story poind of! eoal in evsry oellar j must be used with the greatest economy all through the winter. Those w o are rsekiessly burning tbeir rations now are ultimately bound to suffer/' Mil..

'My, fceven Best Years.' IN 1910. Mrs A. L. Fry, of Ashmore, i near Salisbury, became seriously ill through kidney and bladder weakness following a confinement, and for six months lay actually help- less. In describing her case, Mrs Fry said :—" Suffocating dropsy set in, and I weta, swollen to an enormous size fron head to foot, even my features. Kidney and bladder dis- orders, d^zinesss, heart palpitation, nervousness and backache were well nigh unbearable. I quite lost hope. Everything that skill and kindly attention could suggest was anxiously attempted, but at the end of it all, there seemed no brighter prospect than to linger as an invalid and otipple. At th* late stage a friend urged me to h' Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. 1 tadly did so, and to my joy, the urinary system was helped at one?. The dropsical swellings began gradbaity to subside until I became of normal r-it again. My back was re- lieved, sol to the astonishment of all, I soon get up and out of doors. I honestly Welieve Doan's Pills saved my life. I am better now than ever before and have no symptom of kidney trouble whatsoever. (Signed) A. L. Fry." Seven Years Good Health On JAY-ary 6th, 1918, Mrs Fry said ;i y lasting good health speaks wril for Doan's Pills, the medi- cine to v- hieh I owe my seven best years of 1; io."
