AMMANFORD. I
AMMANFORD. A well-known lom, I gentleman writes to draw attention to a peculiar danger near a public footpath at. Ammanford. and hope-, a bint in this oolumn will bring about a woodcutting incident rather than a treefalling accident. He says that a huge gnarled giant of a tree, which stands near the short cut from Bettws to Maesy quarre, has attracted his attention, and interested many others. Through rot and the effect of the storms of the rolling years, the trunk hnd become hollowed so thoroughly that children first played about it, and then, seemingly, sought to ui ili it. as a chimney. They lighted fires in the epemag, and so thinned the old trunk as to leave only just the bark in some parts to keep the giant on its IPt-L The danger now is that a storm or even a strong gust of wind may unex- pectedly bringthe whole tree down. and that, perhaps, when adults or children are sheltering beneath its branches. Per- haps nobody is really responsible, but somebody who has the right to do so might see that the woodman does not I spare that tree. Several of the local men wounded at the Dardanelles have now arrived in this I country. Amongst them is Gunner James Phillips-Mortimer, of the machine gun section, Australian Light. Horse, who sus- tained a gunshot wound in the head a m.onth ago. He is now in Highfield Hospital, Liverpool. Sergt. Reggie Amore, of the 4tli Welsh Regiment, is expected home during the week-end from New- castle Hospital.

I TOOA V and during the week, V.T.C. SPORTS AT The Picture House HIGH STREET. WAR WORKERS. Tired workers cannot expect to retain' health and strength during winter months, unless they build up th-emselvcs beforo winter comes. Long hours of toil, in crowded workshops or confined offices, produce those very conditions which affect the lungs and render the worker susceptible to every passing epidemic. To every WAR worker regular courses of SCOTT'S Emulsion are a vital necessity. A course of SCOTT'S builds up every part of the body, and overcomes all weakness arising from overwork and mental strain. Stimulants and tonics only serve to flog the jaded system of the worker. SCOTT'S Emulsion builds up the system and repairs Nature's wear and tear. SCOTT'S Emulsion casts out coughs, colds, bronchitis and lung trouble. It arrests consumption in its earliest stages: and restores health and strength to the convalescent. If iloit are. "run down," thin, weak or subject to colds-lIou will bless the day you first tried- this pure strcjiqih-mai-er SCOTTS EMULSION THE RELIABLE STRENGTH-MAKER.
