Defendant said he was the sole support of a widowed mother. Capt. Pearson, military representative, said that defendant was called up some time in March, but appeared to have ig- nored the notice. He was lined 40s. and handed over to the military authorities. UNSEEMLY CONDUCT OF PIC- I NICKERS. Mr. Rosser drew attention to the un- seemly noises created by picnickers re- turning from outings and passing through Sketty and the outskirts of the town. He 6aid that people nowadays were not in the, humour to put up with such conduet, and he asked Police Inspector Davies (Mum- bles) to instruct his men to warn the holi- day makers against this sort of thing. Mr. A. H. Thomas, endorsing Mr. Rosser's remarks, said he quite understood that people must have their holidays, but such conduct, especially in these times, was unseemly. He alluded more particu- larly to the shouting and profane language used. Inspector Davies said the matter would be given the strictest attention. NEATH. I "A DRUNKEN WASTER." I Thomas Davies, labourer, Albert-road, Penrhietwyn, was charged at the instance of the N.S.P.C.C. with neglecting his six young children. Prosecuting, Mr. Justyn Jeffries charac- terised the case as a very bad one, and said repeated warnings had been ignored. Inspector Best described the condition of the children. There was no food in" the house, and he had to provide a meal for the children. The furniture was primi- tive and scanty, and rag-s did tke duty of bedclothes. Dr. J. Mndie Morris said the children Buffered by neglect, and P.C. Lisk described accused as a "thorough drunken waster." Accused, whose average earnings were stated to be 31s. a week, said he broke his leg some time ago and had not been able to pick up. He was sentenced to fliree months with hard labour. MAN WHO RAN AWAY. Richard Walking, Neath Abbey, was charged with being drunk and disorderly at Skewen on the 10th December, 1910. The Magistrates' Clerk: Where has he been all this time? i P.S. Clinch: He is connected with another charge, sir, and we shall know then. He was fined 15s., or 11 days' imprison- ment. Vatkins was then charged with desert- ing his wife and three children, who had been chargeable to the common fund of the Neath Union since 1911, and owed a sum of £ 53 10s. Warrant Officer Gabriel proved the case, and added that defendant was a col- lier before he ran away, and earned good money. Th4 Magistrates' Clerk: Do you make any offer to pay? Defendant: I am willing to pay, but rve only got threepence, and I am out of work. The Magistrates' Clerk: Threepence won't help you much. Do you make any offer ? Defendant: Yes, 5s. a week. Warrant Officer Gabriel: I shall be a very old mait if I live to collect the debt at that rate. (Laughter.) Eventually the case was adjourned for a month.

KING EDWARD MEMORIALI MEETING OF GOVERNORS AT LLANDRIHDOO PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS FROM lIEUT. -COL D. DAVIES, M.P. At the annual meeting of the Board of Governors of the King Edward VII. Memorial Association, at Llandrindod on Saturday, the following address, forwarded by the President (Col. David Davies, M.P.), was read:— It is with very sincere regret that I find myself unable to be with you to-day to ex- tend to you as members of the Board of Governors a welcome to our annual moot- ing. For the second year, military duties have prevented my attendance at meetings of the Council and Committees of the Association. The same is true of our vice- presidents, Lord Kenyon and Lord Glanusk, the latter of whom has been do- ing such splendid work in India. He has now lost two sons in the titanic struggle in which this country is engaged, one on the field of battle, and the other lies buried in the North Sea. Our hearts go out to Lord and Lady Glanusk, and to all our other friends similarly bereaved. Our hope is that they may find some comfort in the reflection that their dear ones have laid down their lives in the cause of jus- tice, truth, and righteousness. During the year which I propose to re- view, that is to say, the 1st April, 1915, to 31st "larch, 1916, the Association has suffered by reason of the removal of two of the most active members of the Council. I refer to Mr. P. J. Wheldon, of Carmar- then, and Alderman Richard Lewis, of i'ontypridd. You will have received a copy of the annual report, and you must have im- mediately noticed what a small publica- tion it is by comparison with its im- mediate predecessor. I think you will agree that Ike Council acted most wisely in its decision to curtail the report as much as possible. None of us will measure the extent or character of the work by the length of the report. I am glad to be able to report consider- able progress in the provisions of beds in institutions. On the 31st March, 1914, the Association owned 87 hospital beds, and had at its disposal 332 such beds. On t-tio similar aate in 1915 the Association owned 183 beds, and had at its disposal 418 such beds. On the 31st March, 1916, the number of hospital beds owned by the Association was no less than 344, and the total number of beds at its disposal was 574 In two years the number of hospital beds owned by the Association has grown from 87 to 344—an increase of 257. This you will, I think, agree is a very big ad- vance, particularly when it is remembered that we have been in the throes of a great war during the whole of that time. So far as bods in sanatoria are con- cerned, on the 31st March, 1914, the Asso- ciation owned 228 beds, and had at its dis- posal in all 229 beds. On the similar date in March, 1915, it owned 257 beds, and had at its disposal :,8;) beds. On the 31st March, 1S16, the Association owned 259 beds, and had at its disposal in all 409 beds. It wili thus be seen that on the 31st March, 1916, the Association had at its disposal 983 beds. There was an increase during the year of 1M hospital beds and of 26 sana- toria beds-a tota-l increase of 182. The increase in hospital beds during the year is due principally to the exten- sions at the Glan Ely, the opening of i'eechwood Hospital, and the opening of the new hospital at Llangefni. Since the 31st March, 1916, the new hospital at Car- narvon has been opened. This provides 38 beds, but it also means the giving up of the hospital which the Association rented from the Carnarvon Town Council. The hospital at Tregaron is rapidly approach- ing completion, and so is the hospital for children at Cardigan House, Newport. With reference to sanatoria, it is grati- fying to know that the sanatorium at Llangwyfan will be partially opened in the very near future. This comes at a most opportune time, because the tenancies of the two institutions which the Associa- tion rents in Devonshire are about to come to an end. The war has and is sadly interfering with the completion of the sanatorium at Talgarth, and we are experiencing some difficulty with the water question at that institution. The South Wales Sanatorium Building Company have this matter well in hand, and I have no doubt that they will be able to overcome the difficulties. And now may I ask you to consider the statistical tables? I desire in the first place to call your attention to the number of persons examined during the course of the year. This comes'to no lees than 9,155, as against 8.861 in the previous year, an increase of 287. This increase is made up of 176 more boys, 32 more men. and 86 more girls than the previous, year, where- as there are seven less women. In sanatoria 1,390 patients were treated during the year, as 'against 1,214 in the previous y-ear. Of the 1 ,O, 938 were dis- charged, and of this number 669, or 71 per cent., were discharged as fit for work. I think you will agree that this figure is a very gratifying one. In hospitals 2,178 pnfiesrts were treated during the year, as against 1,789 in the previous year, an increase of 389. One of the main features leading up to this increase is the treatment which the Association has been able to give to sailors and soldiers discharged from the Navy and Army respectively. This has formed a really important branch of the work during the year. I intimated to you last year that the Newport County Borough Council has agreed to let us have the use of Beechwood House for the pur- poses of a temporary hospital for the period of the war and six months after- wards. That house was very expeditiously srot ready, and was opened op the 16th October, 1915. Forty-seven beds tlierefcv became avail-able. One hundred and twenty-five patients were admitted into that institution, of whom 118 were soldiers, six were sailors, and one munition worker. The use of the house as a hospital was limited to such patients. I need hardly point out that the Associa- tion has been working under enormous difficulties during the year which has just closed. Of the 26 medical men in the em- ploy of the Association, 10 were engage d with the Forces of the Crown, that is to say, there was a diminution of 3R per cent. No one to-day wishes to minimise the importance of the health of the child. Indeed, in my opinion, too much import- ance cannot be given to rt. Will you then let me direct your attention to the figures dealing with hoys and girls and see what progress we have made in this direction. During the year 3,549 children under the age of 16 were examined as against 3,287 in the previous year. The number suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis was 586, as against 671, that ii3 to say, 85 less, and this decrease is amongst boys. The number found suffering from non- pulmonary tuberculosis was 565, against 507, an increase of 58, and this increase is also amongst boys. One thousand seven hundred and seventy-three were found to be not suffer- ing from tuberculosis, and no less than 625 were under observation pending diagnosis. Of the children suffering from pul- monary tuberculosis, 132 boys and 206 girls received treatment in sanatorium, •anddkos- pital, while of the non-pulmonary type 276 boys and 193 girla received similar treat- ment. This valuable work among children has only been possible because of the complete co-operation lietweon our tuberculosis physicians and the school medical oiffcers. While dealing with the question of figures representing the work done, I should like to tell you that quite recently the Local Government Board have issued their report for the year ended March 31, 1515, and in that report particulars are given of the work carried out in connec- tion with schemes of county and county borough councils during the year 1914. The Association's figures in respect of that particular year are not available, but tak- ing th9 nearest, approach, viz., 1st April, 1914, to 31st March, 1915, one is able to have some idea as to the relative amount of work done in England and in Wales on the subject of tuberculosis. The number of persons examined for the first time in. England during the year was 80,315. Tak- ing- the population of Wales to be one- seventeenth of that of England, the pro- portionate figure for Wales would be 4,724. The actual number examined was 8,502. So far as treatment in institutions is con- cerned during that period, 19,027 persons received such institutional treatment in England. The proportionate figure for Wales would be 1,120. The actual number treated was 3,284. I mention these figures only for the sake of showing that the Association is doing its best under difficult circumstances, and that the results compare favourably with similar institutions in other parts of the country. The extracts from the reports of the tuberculosis officers and the superinten- dents of institutions are distinctly in- teresting. Many of them speak of the im- portance of' the segregation of those whose inactivity might be dangerous, and of those who leave institutions against ad- vice. Ijocal authorities in many plae- have taken this matter up, and amongst them the Monmouthshire County Council. The matter has been discussed by the County Councils Association, and repre- sentations on the subject have also been made to ifche Local Government Board. The view of the Local Government Board seems to be Omt buildingtr, should be provided before any powers of deten- tion are obtained. I am not at all sure that that view is a sound one. During the year no less than 234 persons left the in- stitutions of the Association against the advice of the medical officers. Most of these were, I understood, in a state which actively contributes to the spread of the disease. If the additional accommodation suggested by the Local Government Board is provided, it is possible that in the ab- sence of powers of detention the number of those leaving against advice would be largely increased. A question was recently addressed to the President of the Local Government, Board in the House of Commons dealing with this matter, and the President replied T?taht he could not undertake to introduce legis- lation on a subject of this kind at the present time. FINANCE. I The expooditure for the year vas X86,306 5s. 2d. In December, 1914, the estimates of ex- penditure to be incurred during the year 1st April, 1915—31st March, 1916, had to be prepared, and the estimated amount was .£&5,788, a difference of only £ 518. The estimated expenditure on the treat- ment of patients, i.e., the costs of insti- tutes, hospitals, sanatoria, and payments to other institutions was < £ 73,549, while the actual expenditure was ^874,085, an in- crease of X536. The estimated deficiency was j £ 50,326, and the actual deficiency -050,597. In the balance sheet is an item in the suspense account to the debit of Pem- brokeshire of C2,426 Os. lid., and repre- sents the share of that county's liability for work done. If Pembrokeshire pays .50 per cent. of that sum, the Treasury will pay the balance, but if they continue to re- fuse to pay we can get nothing from the Treasury, and the funds of the Associa- tion suffer accordingly. I must refer to the question of the like- lihood of the Association requiring more than the product of a halfpenny rate to meet half of the deficiency. Notice of the probability of such a call being- made in the future -was given at the expressed re- quest of the "Welsh Insurance Commis- sioners. I understand. it has been stated at one or two oounci-Is that representa-tives of the Association had said that the Asso- ciation would not ask for more than a halfpenny rate. I desire to point out that when that statement wa« made it was assumed, and rightly assumed, that the wholo of the Is. 3d. per insured person was available, asd that free treatment was to be given only to insured persons and iheir dependants. As is well known, only 9d. of the Is. 3d. ie available, and the difference of 6d. represents between < £ 17,000 and = £ 18.000 in Wales and Mon- mouthshire in normal times.

CORRESPONDENCE. [Letters to the EditoT should brief. to I the noint. and about qotORthinc Cor- respondents should send their names and addregses. not. necessarily for publication.) SUGAR AND TEA. To the Editor Sir.—Patrxgrayiiti having appeared in the Press with reference to the saie of sugar, uul the statement having been made tn.t certain grocers are dem?nfung Uiat tci bilai?il bo purchased wit? a. given o?antity of &ugar. 1 have been desired by the Swan- sea and District Grocers' and Provision Dealers' Association to bay theit this prac- tice is not approved by them. On the con- trary, when the war broke om and diffi- culty was experienced in getting supplies of sugar sufficient for normal demands, our members agreed that they would supply all persons, preference being reserved for the-i regular cuswmer. and tnat no stipulation a6 to any specific article being purchased with sugar was to be made. As the supply of sugar is most irregular, and often much below requirements, even regular customers have had to be limited as to supply. In order to cheok persons going from shop to shop for eug"ir, onlv to selfishly secure a large supply, and also to absist in securing a more i-quai distribu- tion, the Commission on Sugar has agreed that grocers may require when strangers come for sugar they shall also purchase other goods, but the Commissiori stipulate that the choice of the other goods cihall be left to the customer. This is the rule of this Association, and members are prepared to supply anyone on these lines, subject to theri being sugar available after providing for regular cus- tomers- That the demand to purchase tea with suvr-ar is made in some shops is probably true but over these shops we have no con- trol. If the public are treated thus, they should write, giving all particulars if they have evidence to prove their case, and on re- ceipt of same it shall be in.mediately dealt with. as this Association emphatically con- demns the pmctice.-Yotirs.
