THE NERVES AND I DIGESTION. Have you ever noticed that when you are worried or under some specif mental strain your digestion becomes upsot? Anxiety quickly causes loss of nerve-tone throughout the system. Now the nervous and digestive systems are very intimately related, and the one cannot become affected without the other becoming upset. Bad nerves" spell bad digestion. Similarly bad digestion causes loss of nervous energy. Restore good digestion by stimulating the digestive organs, on which you depend for nourishment from food, into healthy activity, and robust health with full nerve energy will follows To ensure this take Mother Seigel's Syrup after meals. Its touic and corrective in- fluence on stomach, liver, and bowels, gives it an easy first place among all digestive remedies.

c k- SWANSEA COUNCIL. 1 AN INVITATION TO MR. LLOYD GEORGE. At the monthly meeting of Swansea Corporation held in the Council Cham- ber on Wednesday afternoon, tho Mayor (Aid. Daniel Jones) presided. Others present were: Aldermen: T. T. Corker (ex-Mayor), Morgan Tutton, Ben Jones, J. II. Devon- aid, Evan Evans, W. H. Miles, and T. Merrells. Councillors: Dd. Matthews. D. J. Davies, T. Sheehan, G. Colwill, T. W. Howells, Wm. Owen, Barclay Owen, Vn ■ G. Lloyd. Evan Jones, John Lewis, Dd. Griffiths, G. Hill, F. J. Parkr, Laugharne Morgan, W. W. Holmes, H. Macdonnell, D. J. Bassett, P. Molyneux, J. 11. Lee, and R. Buckland. Acknowledgment of votes of sympathy were received from the Cunard Co., on the loss of the Lusitania; from Lord Villiers, on the death of his father, the Earl of Jersey; and for congratulations from H.M.S. Kent and H.M.S. Glasgow. All For Britain. I St. Helen's Borough Council (Lanes.) asked the council to support a resolution urging the Government to organise and control the whole of the nation's re- sources in order to conduct the war with the greatest possible degree of efficiency: to organise an immediate census of all males over the age of 16, with particulars of occupation, whether married or single, and by whom employed; and appoint local committees of independent as- eessors to advise as to applications for ex- emptions. rf. Mr. W. Owen thought every suggestion contained in the resolution the Govern- ment was taking up, and he did not think the Council should recommend the Gov- ernment to do more. Aid. M. Tutton, moving that the letter lie on the table, said he did not wish to handicap the Government, masters or men. The questions should be left to the Government. This was agreed to. Conserving Labour. The Local Government Board sent a copy of its circular letter drawing the attention of public authorities to the necessity for labour economy and, when vacancies occurred, of engaging only men ineligible for the Army or suited for the special occupations in question. The Local Government Board thanked the Corporation for particulars given in connection with the men available for munitions work, and stated that it would call upon the men as occasion demanded, and if necessary. The W,ar Office wrote that it was not proposed at present to utilise any of the Swansea Schools for military hospitals, but that the scheme would be kept in reserve for the present. Mr. Lloyd George's Regret. Mr. Lloyd George's secretary wrote in reply to a letter from the Mayor in- citing the new Munitions Minister to ad- dress a meeting in Swansea on his visit to Wales, that nothing would have given Mr. Lloyd George greater pleasure than to have extended his visit to Swansea, but the time at his disposal would not admit of this. The Mayor said he still hoped that Mr. Lloyd George would be able to pay a visit later.—The meeting expressed pleasure at the steps the Mayor had taken. Canadian Cattle Embargo. I In view of the scarcity of cattle, and high price of meat, Glasgow Corporation asked the Council to support a resolution requesting the Government to take im- mediate steps to remove the embargo on the importation of Canadian cattle. There was a. motion by Alderman Miles to support, but Alderman Tutton said there had been very grave reasons why the importation had been forbidden. Mr. Parker agreed that a free im. portation and cheaper meat might be obtained at too great a cost. Tho resolution was referred to the Par. liamentary Committee to get opinions from persons in the trade. Swansea Battalion Depot. Major P. n. O'Hara wrote to Alderman Corker (chairman of the Swansea Batta- lion Committee) that they hoped to leave a Company (E) as their base or depot company at Swansea when the battalion moved. It would be most convenient if they could have the use of the training college, as before, for this purpose. Alderman Corker said the Corporation had handed over tho training college to the War Office at a nominal rent, and it was now entirely out of their hands, its also of the 6th Welsh (to whom the War Office had allocated the premises) so that they were in the position of having to look round for another place for the battalion. He suggested that the matter be left with himself and wirli a few others to see whit they could do. There was a possibility of their being able to obtain the Vetch Field. The Mayor, the ex-Mayor and the Estate Agent were given plenary powers. On the motion of the Mayor, the Coun- cil expressed thanks to Major and Mrs. Harries for their gift of a motor car to the Mavoress's Red Cross fund, and 00. the suggestion of Alderman Merrells it was decided to procure a special receipt form for gifts to this fund. Alderman Morgan Tutton moved the ndoption of the Estates Committee's re- port. Mr. D. Matthews raised an objec- tion to the amount of rent to be charged for the architect's department at The Graigola Whirf.The Town Clerk read a resolution of the council which in- structed the Estate Agent to fix tho amount of rent. The minutes were passed. Permission to Enlist. I The minutes of the Watch Committee, the adoption of which was moved by Mr r. Molyneux, contained the following:- "Resolved that the council be requested to grant permission to all men of re- ti-uitable age in the offices of the Cor- t.oration who are desirous of enlisting m H .Y:s forces. Mr. W. Owen said he thought they had given permission before. The Mayor said he was responsible for the minute. One or two young men In the office did not quite understand then- position, whether they were entitled to enlist, or whether they were to be treated in the same way as the other members who had gone. He told them, as far as the imen were concerned, it would be much better to bring the matter before the coun- cil. so that it could be understood, and that was the reason why this minnte was recorded. Mr. Owen: I thought they all under- stood it. Mr. R. Buckland referred to the monthly report with reference to the tram ears, and asked why it was not printed. Mr. P. Molyneux said the report was pot of suffioient importance. Mr. Buck- I.nd could see it if he liked. Mr. Buckland retained the opinion Hiat the report ought to be brought be- fore the members. Hackney Carriage on Foreshore. Mr. D. J. Davies referred to an appli- cation which had been granted to Mr. D. tones, of Rodney-street, for a hackney earriage license in respect of a small governess car, to sea four persons, to ply for hire on the foreshore. He thought it' was setting a dangerous precedent. Mr. Molyneux said they would find hundreds of these conveyances plying for fcire in north country seaside resorts. On aooccasion had he seen an accident. Mr. J. H. Lee said there was no danger. If this license was granted, and was suc- cessful, they might have half a dozen. Mr. Davies: How far does the Chief Constable exercise, his power regarding th.0 speed of thrsp vehicle- Thero have .beel1 a good many accidents on the f-aiuls. M- Leo: I don't think any serious ac- i 1 b uccui'gad g& & £ tsadit 1 The Mayor said with regard to the tram cars report, it was a police report, and they were not printed. Mr. W. Owen referred to a resolution of the Watch Committee, which stated that in consideration of the services rendered to the Army by Inspector Jno. W. Lloyd as drill instructor from Sept. Stli to December 31st, 1911, he be promoted a class, that is from S2 13s. to S2 15s. 6d. per week, and asked if that was the real reason for the promotion. Mr. Molyneux sa\id that was the reason. I Undoubtedly this officer had rendered ex- cellent service at a time when he might have retired from the force, but he very considerately remained with them during the war. Mr. Owen said he should have had no objection to giving him a present, but this increase in wages would give him an increase in superannuation. He moved that the minute be referred back. Mr. G. Hill seconded. The amendment was lost, and the min- utes of the Watch Committee were then passed.

COCKETT AND EXTENSION. I Lively Correspondence with the County I Council. Cockett Parish Council met on Tues- day night, Mr. John Davies presiding. The clerk (Mr. J. T. Martyn) reported on correspondence that had passed be- tween him and the Clerk to the Glam- organ County Council. At the last meeting of the Cockett Council, proceeded Mr. Martyn, a resolu- tion was passed strongly protesting against the opposition of the County authority to the Swansea Borough Ex- tension Bill. Copies of this resolution had been forwarded to Mr Mansel Frank- lyn, to the Town Clerk of Swansea, and to the Local Government Board. In re- ply the Clerk to the County authority had asked for the terms upon which the Parish Council cr the District Council acting for them came to an agreement with the Corporation, which were not in- serted in the Draft Order. Mr. Martyn replied as follows: "The Swansea Rural District Council, as you are well aware, settled their opposition with the Swansea Corporation to its ex- tension in accordance with the terms, a copy of which I enclose you, although no doubt, you already have them. I under-' stand that while the Local Government Board have inserted one or two of these terms in the Order, the rest of them are being given effect to by an agreement under seal between the Swansea Rural District Council and the Corporation, ( f course I am not a lawyer, but I should imagine it is as effectual to include these terms in an agreement under seal as to include them in an Act of Parliament. The Parish Council of Cockett has from the outset favoured inclusion in the borough, and they are quite (satisfied "t the terms arrived at between the District Council and the Corporation, and in the manner in which it is proposed to deal with them." The clerk to the County Council, in his reply wrote, What I want from you, if you are authorised to supply it, is the agreement between the borough and the parish council referred to in Section 11 of the terms you have sent me and any other you know of." Mr. Martin said that. he had not as yet replied to the last letter, and after some discussion it was decided j'hu t Mr. Martyn should confer with the Town Clerk of Swansea before replying. Mr. Martyn reported that all expenses, including those incurred in the holding of meetings, the signing of petitions, etc., in connection with the borough extension sohome had been allowed by the Local Government Board auditor. The auditor had especially asked that the council should not incur too much expense at this time. He told the overseers that it was not necessary to make any rate either for library or general purposes, but he (the speaker) understood that a great deal of the rate had already been made. If the borough extension scheme passed I through there would be an audit of the accounts of the Parish Council as soon as possible after November 9th. Mr. D. James: Well, it is not going through, is it? Chairman: We will come to that point later on.

CHARGE AGAINST A YOUNG I SOLDIER. At tho Swansea Police Court John Archibald Bevan (19), Morriston, was brought up in custody and charged on remand with attempting to obtain the sum of S5 by means of false pretences from John Williams, Caeleon Farm, Vel- indre, Llangyfelach, on the 2nd and 3rd of June. Mr. Edward Harris defended. Supt. Letheren asked for a remand for a week as the evidence had not yet been completed. Mr. Harris objected unless bail were granted. His reasons for asking for bail were certainly reasonable. The defen- dant had been in hospital for a period of thirteen weeks at Winchester suffering from pneumonia, and he was home for the purpose of recuperating. There could not be any further inquiries in the case. Superintendent Letheren strongly op- posed bail. He said that Bevan was a deserter from the 6th Batt. South Lanca- shire Regiment. Mr. Harries suggested that the best thing to do under those circumstances was to release the defendant altogether, and to let the military authorities deal with him. Superintendent Letheren 6aid the man as an absentee without leave should be kept under arrest. Mr. Harries: In that case I shall ask that the case go on now. Superintendent Letheren said he could not proceed, as the evidence was not com- pleted. Major Anderson, the recruiting officer for the district, who occupied a seat at the police table, said that a deserter could not be admitted to bail. At this stage defendant collapsed .and was removed in a fainting condition. Mr. Harries drew the attention of the Bench to Bevan's state, and saM it was clear ly in the defendant's interest that bail should be allowed. After a brief consultation, the magis- trates refused to grant bail, and the de- fendant was remanded for a week in cus- tody.

IMPROVEMENT HELD UP. I Money Difficulty of Swansea Corporation. At the meeting of the Swa^spa 1 tion on Wednesday, on the Finance Com- mittee minutes, Alderman jyienvii& v. jeeted to the form of a resolution, that in view of the state of the finances of the Corporation, this com- mittee are unable to make any proposal as to expenditure upon this work (the completion of tho Neath-road improve- ment) at the present time." He regarded this as an attempt on the part of the Finance Committee to become the execu- tive authority of the council. The effect or the minute was to hold up for five years au important improvement on which they had spent £ 12,000 or more— for the sake of £ 1,200 or so. Aid. Miles said an inspection of the road would show the reasonableness of proceeding with the work, for there was no road on which the traffic was greater cr more dangerous. Aid. Colwill argued that if the Finance Committee had made the fullest use of its power, much of the expenditure re- cently undertaken would not have been made. It was most unwise to embark on any expenditure of this kind, and the statement of the Borough Treasurer at the Finance Committee ought to h?ve been sufficient. Aid. Tutton thought the Finance Com- I mittee had taken a wise course, for they I had not the money to carry the matter to a conclusion. He did not think if they could have foreseen the conditions they were now in, and would be for some years, they would have spent the amount already spent there, because it was not justifiable expenditure. There wa-s special expenditure pressing upon them that would cause some of them to open their eyes a little later o-i. Mr. Matthews moved that the minute bo referred back, regarding it as un- businesslike to leave the road in its pre- sent state for the sake of 92,000.-Ald. Evans seconded. Mr H. McDonnell asked 4 he Council not to be influenced by the observations made, for it would have been dishonest to lay out money that did not belong to them. They had no money to lay olit-in that direction, and the road was no worse than for a number of years. The motion to refer back was defeated by 13 to 11. Aid. Merrells still held that the Finance Committee's action was out rf order, and asked for the Town Clerk's ruling. Alderman Colwill: Will the Town Clerk point out to the Kaiser, also, that the war is out of order? The circumstances are extraordinary. The Town Clerk said the Finance Com- mittee had not power to veto anything until its recommendation had been ad- optedjby the Council. Alderman Corker: As this has been. Mr. F. J. Parker again contended that the fees incurred in connection with the valuation of Neath-road properties ac- quired were much too high. In the cases in question, it was pointed out, outside experts had to be engaged for an impending arbitration, in conse- quence of local valuers having been en- gaged by the other side, but the result was a reduction of about 50 per cent. on the claims for compensation. Mr. D. J. Bassett considered the £ 75 per quarter for the judges' lodgings at Brooklands for about two weeks was abominable. The matter was referred to the Finance Committee.
.ELECTRICITY PROFITS FALL.…

ELECTRICITY PROFITS FALL. I With an abstract of accounts and reports of the Swansea Electricity Works and Tramways Department just published is a statement by the Borough Treasurer (Mr. W. H. Ashmole). The net income from the electricity works has increased by £ 273, the working expenses by .£366. and the capital charges by £ 1,434, the profit being Y,1,786, a decrease of .£1,527. The gross profit represents 6 per cent. on the capital outlay. The large amount of capital spent in. recent years does not yet appear to have produced financial results, says Mr. Aahmole, and this largely accounts for the reduced profit. In his first annual report, the new engineer (Mr. W. Burr) says the lighting units sold show a satisfactory increase of 113,116, but the power units decreased by 8,088. Prior to the war there was an increase of 14,490 over the corresponding period of the previous year. He advises an energetic policy, particularly with a view to improving the present load factor of 20.8 per cent. He suggests, too, that the tramway company should be induced to use more energy from the Corporation, which could now run the whole of tho company's cars. Last year 543,470 units were supplied the company, against 645,476 the previous year. A .large suction gas plant at the English Crown Spelter Works would be replaced by electricity.. The coming year will be one of high working costs. He estimated coal alone would cost over £ 3,000 more, and labour and Aaterials probably -c,11,000 more. The majority of electric and gas undertakings were increasing prices accordingly.

SAVED BY LUCK. I The septcentenary of Magna Carta, which occurred Tuesday, will send a good many folk to the Museum to see the original which is there on view. And this original was found by an accident and saved by a miracle. It came to the Museum as part of the contents of the Cottonian Library. Sir Robert Cotton, the antiquary of James I/s reign, visited his tailor, and found him with a pile of parchments which he was using to cut out patterns of garments. He was just going to cut out a vest, selected a suit- able piece, took up his shears—and Sir Rohert came in, and so saved for the nation one of the four copies of Magna Carta.

BELGIAN REFUGEtS. I Mr. David Vaughan's Work. I At a meeting of Swansea Corporation ) Mr. David Vaughan attended to receive from the Mayor an address (J.l I vellum, and framed, placing on record the Council's hearty thanks for, aim high appreciation of, the excellent and valuable services, timely assistance, an 1 general help rendered by him in connec- tion with. the housing of Belgian refugees tit Swansea. The Mayor, in making the presentation said Mr.'Vaughan came to the help of the Belgian Refugees Committee at a time when there was a rush of refugees to the town, and he, was entitled to the warmest praise. He placed his building at the disposal of the committep, and spent a great deal of money in buying beds, furniture, etc. He was sure Uie whole of the town was delighted with the work Mr. Vaughan had done. Ald. -CoTker observed that during his year of offieo as Mayor, Mr Vaughan came forward at a time of great stress, and provided places for the Belgians at very short notice. Ho had done it with- out expecting any recompense, and lie was sure that presentation was the least thing the council could do to show their appreciation. Mr. H. Macdonnell said Mr. Vaughan had acted in a very handsome manner. Mr. W. L. Morgan said Mr. Vaughan's place suited the Belgian's Committee bet- ter than any other, and it was beauti- fully fitted up. Ald. T. Merrells remarked that this was only one of a great number of kindly acts Mr. Vaughan had performed from time to time. Ald. Evan Evans also added his testi- mony. Mr. David Matthews expressed thanks to Mr. Vaughan on behalf of the Morris- ton Ward, and said on one occasion he placed 20 beds at the disposal of the com- mittee for the refugees at Morriston. Mr. Dd. Vaughan briefly acknowledged the honour, which he said he appreciated very much. I consider it was my duty to help a brave and oppressed people." (Hear, hear.)

PARIS, Tuesday, 11 p.m. The French official communique states: As a reprisal for the bombardment by Germans of open French and British towns orders were given to bombard this morning the capital of the Grand Duchy of Baden. At 3 o'clock a.m., 23 aeroplanes left for Karlsruhe, and in spite of a northerly wind they arrived over the city between 5.50 and 6 a.m. They dropped 130 projectiles of 90 and I 1;)5 millemetres at points indicated to them, notably on the Castle, arms fac- tories, and railway stations. Many fires were seen to break out. While the aeroplanes were hovering over the town great panic was observed in the stations, where the trains were des- patched in all haste towards the east. The aeroplanes were vigorously bom- barded on the outward journey at Saberne (Zabern), Strassburg, Raftatt, and Karls- ruhe, and on returning at Blamont, Phalf- bourg, and Saberne. All the aviators returned safely except two. Margravian Castle Hit.
