Dread and Fear I Won't Make You Well. I H Pirtti-re tells Story." Just Be Cheerful and Get at the Cause Of Your Trouble. DQN'T live in constant L fear of disease. Fear works on the nerves and makes little ailments bigger. Be cheerful and get at the cause of your trouble. If your back aches, don't be afraid that you are going to have gravel, dropsy, or Bright's disease. If you have too much uric acid in your blood, don't fear chronic rheuma- tism. Just say to yourself, .I'll start to cure my kidneys now and if I live more carefully, I'll be healthy." Take enough exercise to keep the blood circulating freely through the kidneys. That will keep the blood pure. If you are eating too much, working too hard, worrying a lot and not getting the sleep you ought, it's an easy matter to change these habits for awhile. And to repair weak kidneys, use Dron's Backache Kidney Pills. You know from experiences like the following how Doan's Pills do good in Swansea.

Thomas, of 29, Sunny-terrace, Morriston, near Swansea, says:— My back has given me a lot of trouble, arising from the kidneys not being well. There were dull, aching pains which made me feel very unwell indeed. There has been a weakness in the urinary system also. But after taking Doan's backache kidney pills I have felt greatly better in every way. They always relieve the pain and cleanse the water, and I feel brighter and better altogether. There is no doubt about Doan's pills being good, and I recommend them and shall certainly uee them again if necessary, for I have great faith in the medicine."

1 I DESERTER UP THE CHIMNEY. Mrs. Gwen Evans, of Penygraig-road, Ystradowen, was charged at the Amman- ford Police Court on Monday with aiding her husband, Private Joe. Evane, to de- sert his Majesty's Forces. P.C. Dd. Thomas, Brynamman, visited the house, and was told by the defendant that she had not seen her husband since August, when he was last home on leave. Not satisfied with the answer, the police officer aaked to be allowed to search the house. After a search he found the hus- band half-way up the chimney. Defendant then said, Oh, don't report it. It's plenty of trouble on me already." Chairman: Was there a fire in the giate ? P.C. Dd. Thomas: No, it was the bed- room chimney. Chqirmaii: You are to be complimented on your smartness. op-Liie seriousness of the ofence was im- pressed upon the defendant, who was told that she was liable to be imjjrisoned for six months, or fined 4:25. I suppose you did not know exactly what to do (said the chairman) and you thought you did the best you could for your husband, but that won't suit in war time. It is well that, the public should know the grave nature of the offence." Having regard to all the circumstances they, however, took a lenient view, and let the defendant off under the Probation of Offenders' Act on payment of 5s. 6d. costs.

CLYDACH BENEFIT CONCERT A successful benefit concert in aid of Mr. Harry W.

NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE ANGIER'S EMULSION.. IT WILL KEEP YOU FREE FROM COLDS. Angier's Emulsion not only soothes and strengthens throat and lungs, but it likewise improves appetite and digestion, and by its tonic, invigorating influence, enables the system to resist colds and bronchitis. If the cold or cough has already commenced, Aogier's Emulsion is the best means of throwing it off and repairing the damage it I has caused. Prescribed by the medical pro- I fession for twenty-four years, it is now the standard approved treatment for chest and I lung affections. The most perfect and most palatable of all emulsions, it is equally useful for all ages. In three sizes, of all chemists. A DOCTOR WRITESI frequently prescribe Angier's'Emulsion and find it of great use in respiratory diseases. It is particularly valuable in ordinary colds, and if taken in time I believe that it prevents the exten- sion of the catarrh to the longs, saving cough and bronchitis and counter- acting any tendency to oonsumption. I have two of my own children taking it at the present time. (Signed)-, L.S.A. FREE TRIAL BOTTLE Send name AND address, 4d. postage, and motion this paper. IRRIAL ISOTTLE, AJMGIER CHEMICAL CO..

A CONTINENTAL MARKET GOVERNMENT'S INTERESTING EXPERIMENT W111 ANTHRACITE DUfF. (By our Mining Correspondent). While I am writing this account of a notable interview with the chairman of the Western CoaJowncrs' Association, the War Office is carrying on experiments to ascertain whether and how "anthracito duff can be utilised to give warmth and heat to our soldiers in the trenches, in France and elsewhere. In view of the interest aroused in the efforts of the Swansea Chamber of Com- merce to introduce to the notice of the War Office the use that can he made of the fine small coal obtained from the screenings of anthracite, and which is known in the trade as anthracite duff, 'and in vie-v of the fact already mentioned, that a parcel of suci coal has been sent to the Government by Mr. C. E. Cleeves, as the outcome of the suggestion at the Chamber of Commerce, and that that sample is being tried to-day, I thought it advisable to seek an interview with Mr. Clooves. It had been suggested to me that I Mr. Cleeve.s's father was the man who introduced the anthracite coal of Swansea to France and other Continental countries, and it is only natural to suppose that, almost all they have for good. coal, for to recall tha trend of the industry during the last 30 years, which will show the importance it has acquired during the war. Mr. Cieeves kindly consented, and de- clared that he was keen on the' introduc- tion of "duS" to the War Office, be- cause he knew the men—some of them friends and others former workmen at collieries in which he was interested— were even now suffering from the want of coal in the war. His own brother, he said, had written him. saying Our fellows would give almost all they had for good coal, for they cannot get it." The writer of that letter is connected with the Canadian Headquarters Staff, and the letter added: I was very interested to hear about the duff, because coal is hard to get and smokes. We have to burn it in braziers." Mr. Cleeves confirmed the version wJtich had been given to me of the. sendmg of the parcel of duff to the War Office, and said he wanted to send a man up to show how it could be used, but the reply to that was. "If we cannot use it ourselves it is no use sending it out." But they might be shown how," I remarked. Mr. Cieeves' only reply was a smile, and the remark: One might have thought so; anyhow, they are trying it themselves; and there are numbers of our men with the Array who can use it, and show how it can be used." In the course of the interview, Mr. Cleeves said it was in the early eighties that a forward move was made. The Anthracite trade was a very small busi- ness, and the working of the collieries very spasmodic. It generally resolved it.. self into work during one part of the year only, and strikes and lock-outs for the other pait. When there was a demand for the coal the men would strike for higher wages, and when there was no demand the masters would lock-out. In the late seventies, people from York- shire came down and took over the Gwauncaegurwcn property, and it was in the year 1880 that what was then known as tho New Pit v. as commenced, and Mr. Fred Cleeves, who was the acting man- ager of the company at that time, saw that in anthracite was one of the most valuable natural fuels, and that there were wider uses for it than those to which it was then principally applied, which were solely for malting and lime-burning. Strange to say, the market quotations even now are put on for malting, whereas the quantity now used for that purpose is negligible. Any coal is used for that, while Anthracite is mainly used for other purposes. During his visit to the Continent Mr. Cleeves saw there the Belgian An- thracite used in closed stoves and in the open French grates, and he pointed out to his business friends that he had a bet- ter product, and in 1883 the first samples of nuts," which were then made by breaking down the large coal by hand, were sent abroad. Soon followed the intro- duction of machinery, and the export in- creased to all the northern European coun- tries, the principal customer being France. Still, the industry was a very seasonable one, and it was not until the introduction by Prof. Dowson of his gas plant that the trade began to be a more all-round one. When from pressure plant it got to suction plant there was a further increase in the trade, and the coal was sent to all the ports of the world. Following the opening of industries in new countries, it was found very economi- cal to put down suction gas plants owing to the small quantity of fuel required to produce one brake-horse power. After a time continental countries thought it would be much better to take large coal there and break it down to nuts themselves instead of relying upon us for the finished product; and break- ing works on a large scale were developed at different ports all over the continent. That really was the making of the Anthracite industry. Still the great draw- back of the trade is the duff. which repre- sents 16 per cent. of the output and, in some collieries, as much as 24 per cent. Many efforts have been made to make fuel from Anthracite duff alone, but none has yet proved a commercial success. The market for this size is exceedingly spas- modic. At the present time one can say there is no market for it, whereas two months ago there was a brisk demand. Reverting to the War Office arrange- ments, Mr. Cleeves said he was in touch with the Government, and doing all he could, but of course, from an industrial point of view, that was not a big matter, for it would be only art infinitesimal addition tq the trade, and would end with the war. ifill he would like, for the sake of our own men at the front, to see some- thing done to help them during the winter months.

SEIZED AT SWANSEA In the Prize Court on Monday, Sir Samuel Evans heard the claim of the Union Bank of South Australia to a cargo of 1,007 tons of zinc concentrates, per ss. Strathniss, shipped at Port Pirie, and seized at Swansea on the 8th October by the Customs officer. The goods were placed in the custody of Messrs. Henry Bath and Sons, shipowners and ware- housemen Swansea, agents for the Prize Court Marshal. Mr. Dunlop (for the claimants) said if the cargo was condemned the bank .-hould bo repaid the freight and other charges which they had paid. Counsel thought that as ilic goods had passed into the warehouse they were immune from con- fiscation as prize. Mr. Wright (for the Crown) contended that the goods came into this country as lawful prize, and the bank were only in the position of pledgees. Counsel thought that the cargo should be condemned on the ground that it was obviously enmy property. His Ixmlehip, giving judgment, said the goods ruust be condemned as prize. The Union Bank, however, would be tè- paid out of court the suni of £ 1,384, paid by them for freight and other charges.

The Labour Party in West Monmouth have agreed to the candidature of Mr. William Brace, M.P., for South Glam- organ and Under-Secretary for the Home TVpartment, at the next election, when Mr. T. Ridlardt3, the present member l will retire.

I ON MUNITION WORK SWANSEA FITTER CHAfiGEO WITH THEFT At Swansea Police Court, on Tuesday, Frederick Ellery (33), titter, was charged on remand with stealing a gold chain and pocket pendant, value S3, from 58, Sway-road, Morriston, on September 22nd, the property of Thomas Aubrey Morgan. Ann Morgan, wife of the prosecutor, said defendant had been lodging at the house for four months prior to Septem- ber 22nd, when lie left for the North of England. Four days later she missed the gold chain and pendant from a wardrobe, and now identified them, produced by the police. Solomon Freed man, pawnbroker, 3, St. Mary's-etreet, Swansea, said on 23rd Sep- tember prisoner came to his shop, told him he was going away on munition work, and wishea to redeem another watch and chain he had. He took the chain into pledge, and advanced on it 91. Deten- tikut then redeemed a silver watch and chain, paying Is. 2d. Detective W. Francis said when he ar- rested defendant at Sunderland, where he had been detained, he said he knew nothing about the chain or the pawnshop in St. Mary's-street. The chain they had was one he bought for 1;2 5s. On the way back to Swansea he said voluntarily, I was a fool to take the chain. The pawnticket you have from Swansea is mine, right enough, and that is where I pledged the chain. I was going to come back to Swansea at Christmas, and then I should have taken it out of the pawn- shop and given it back to the old people. I have been afraid to settle it by post." Charged at Swansea, he said, That6 right; I'm very sorry." In a written statement, defendant said he was willing to pay all expenses if the Bench, could see its way to bind him over unitl after the war. He was engaged on important work, and all his skill and ex- perience was needed. lie had given the police every assistance. Prisoner was committed to Quarter Ses- sions, and was further charged with steal- ing a dress suit and contents, mainly wearing apparel, value £27 from the G.W.R. Cloakroom, High-street station on April 20th last. The facts, as outlined by Mr. Rupert 'Lewis (for the prosecution) and borne out by the evidence, were that on April 20th Mr. Sidney Charles Price, licensed victualler, 10, Union-street, Swansea came back to Swansea from London, and left the suit case in question with an oftiical of the company who placed it in the cloak room. A short time after the caso was missed and one of the officials saw pris- oner going out of the station with a case similar. That was all that was known of the matter until quite recently. When Detective Francis went to Sunderland to recover the gold chain the subject of the pre\#ous charge, he went to prisoner's lodgings, and found the case (produced) with certain things in it. Not satisfied with prisoner's explanation, he brought it back to Swansea, where the railway de- tectives found it was the one lost last April. The person with whom prisoner lodged in Brunswick-street recognised the case and some of its contents as having been in the possession of prisoner. Artic- les were recovered from a second-hand clothes dealer, and more important, a Masonic presenation tie-pin and Masonic apron, which as a result of some corres- pondence were found at the homo of a girl whom prisoner had taken out and to whom he had given them as presents. Among the clothes which Detective Francis said he found at defendant's lodg- ings in Sllndérland were pyjamas, silk ttlider-shirt and an opera hat, all identi- fied by Mr. Price. When charged prisoner said, I didn't steal it; I bought it from a man I didn't know at the Shoulder of Mutton," Swansea." Now charged prisoner had nothing to say, and he was committed on tlili; charge al so to the Quarter Sessions. The Chairman, on behalf of the Bench, congratulated Detective Francis and De- tective-Inspector Morris (G.W.E.) on their smart work. The former would have done well, the chairman remarked, if he knew of the loss of the case before he went to Sunderland, but he did not.

I A SEAT IN THE GODS. 1 When a defendant's name was called at Swansea Police Court on Tuesday she replied Yffi" from the gallery. What on earth are you doing up there?" asked the sergeant who had called her name.

I WALES IN KHAKI I I THE Y.M.C.A. I Somewhere in England. T WOULD see that every Welsh minister should do a month's service behind the counter of a Y.M.C.A. hut," said a Clydach preacher who presented an unfamiliar aproned figure in the cook- house. The world has changed for me since I have been here. I see life more clearly. I see it more as a whole. This work is a tonic. I shall go back to my work not as I came." It is the testimony of everyone who has taken part in the Y.M.C.A. work among the troops. One does not know whether the organisation, is short of helpers; but if would be a blessing to Wales were our, ministers to be arranged in a rota of ser-! vice at the camps. It would settle half our problems. The One Thing Needed. Critics assail the new movement. One slander has it that the C has been left out of the title, that the Y.M.A. has de- generated into the role of an entertainer and caterer. On the contrary. No orga- nisation has ever done greater service for our country. No organisation has ever more thoroughly met a need. There is the wet and the dry canteen. There is the regimental institute. The latter is an admirable provision, and when it is run by capable men, it can do infinite service- But it is Under Authority, and the New Army, however well-disciplined it has be- come—and Wales in khaki has become a machine—likes to relax into pre-war con- ditions. The Y.M.C.A. huts—there are now five hundred of tl^em—are the one thing needed. The men look upon them as ,ours." They enter with an air of proprietorship and with a sense of glorious freedom from restraint. What they havo meant to the soldiers .only the soldiers can tell. But here, where there are many huts and some marquees, it is plain that they have filled the breach. One does not care to speculate what the new-type soldier would do without them. They provide him with companionship. They are his study, his writing-room, his They are his study, his i?? is very place of recreation. And he is very grateful. The C Still There. Of course the C remains. The best sort of C." There is a manly sweep in the curve. The men in charge are not ob- trusive. They do not ram religion down the soldier's throat. (He wouldn't let them.) But they use their opportunities. Some of the workers tell me that when the hour for evening prayers arrives, new helpers get nervous. They do not know how the men will take it. But tl#y soon get to realise that there is a deep and intensely serious strain in the New Army, and that tho other world is in their thoughts as well as this. There is never any difficulty about evening prayer, never any trouble in securing a congregation for service. And few men resent t'te quiet words of a. tactful, courteous minister. The workers who come into Y.M.C.A. service must be prepared for hard, never- ending toil. They have to learn new arts. They may, an' they be preachers, learn a new philosophy. A day spent in washing up dishes, or in keeping the boiler fire going, or in looking after the post office counter, gives a man other view-points! It's a strange life for me," said one preacher from Wales who has had some months of jt_a a strange life. The con- trasts are amazing. Cooking-singing- counter-serving—preaching. Why, the changes are startling. And best of all, one has such chances of real, useful service. One can get right at the men." Cook and preacher, too. What a Wales we would have were every dissenting parson put through such a mill! The workers are adding to their. store of experiences. Some of them say that they never knew what a young man was until they met him here, in his thousands. Some of them are scrapping their philoso- phies. They are getting larger, more charitable views of life. One told me he would hereafter be more compassionate in judgment. And they all unite in saying that there is one word which, breathed softly in the ear of a soldier inclined to wildnesS, will pull him back. will remove the hard glint from his eyes and the ugly curve from his mouth. It never fails, they said, never. One night when a worker there," said the new Padre, a young soldier came into the hut. He hfid taken enough to make him excited. He had been in regi- mental trouble. He came to the counter, and insolently told me to do something. I wanted to tell him that he had forgotten the word 'please,' but somehow I didn't. He made a more insolent request. I served him without comment. Then lIe stared at me, and suddenly he put his hand out. 'Shake!' he said. 'Sliake! i You're all right, you are.' Then I struck in. I say, old fellow, rather a pity—what! What the hell!' he said; and there was a dangerous glint in his eyes. I say,' I went on, a little anxiously. but what about your mother, old i-oy r' It was as though I had bayonettsd him. His face was contorted. And trcu he added quietly, Aye, you're right, man, right. What would she say, wlut?' The Padre never saw him ag;ain. But he is certain that the soldier will never forget. Mother—that is the word the Y.M.C.A-. is bringing back in all its sweetness &nd richness to Wales in khaki. The mothers of Wales ought to remember it without ceasing in their petitions. The Y.M.C.A. is taking their place. It is mothering the bav. I i. o. W. j

So ex- tenffive is the supply of steel to complete contracts that alS a consequence there are! no bare in the open market. Tinplate works, however, are being supplied with their requirements. Prices of steel bars ar5 purely nominal, and range from about £11 per ton. but thev 'are not procur- able. TI-i-re is no forward business being done. Tinplates average from 21s. to 22c-. Jj per box.

AMMANFORD MILK CASES I PRESENCE OF ADDED WATER. At Ammanford on Monday, Thomas Rees, a farmer, of Merlin Court, Llan- gadock, was summoned for selling milk alleged to contain water.—Mr. Price, solicitor, Llandovery, appeared to defend. On the ldth of October defendant had consigned two cans of milk per rail to Wlilliam Evans, a milk vendor, of Bryn- amman. At the latter station Inspector John Jones took samples from each can, one of which was certified by the publio analyst to contain 7 per cent. of added water. There was no charged in respect of the second sample. Wm. Evans, the consignee, said he him- self had never complained to the defen- dant as to the quality of the milk sup- plied, only as to quantity, which waa always a little short. o Mr. Price: Would you have made a complaint on this occasion had not the Inspector brought it to your notieeP-No; I would not have been enough a judge. Defendant, in evidence, denied that the milk had been tampered with before being consigned. However, in transit, delays often occurred in the delivery of the cans, which were unlocked, and there was an inexplicable shortage of quantity when it reached the consignee. The Chairman (Mr. David Richards): Would it be possible for anybody to put water into it?—Yes; and to take some milk away. Inspector Jones stated that even if it were proved that the servants of the rail- way company had adulterated the milk, defendant was still technically responsible although he would admit that it was hard lines, and if'satisfied on that point lie would never institute proceedings. It was pointed out by Mr. Price that de- fendant had been for twenty years in the milk business, first as a retailer at Pont- ardulais, and this was the first time any complaint had been made. A fine of £2 inclusive was imposed, the Chairman observing that although they regarded the adulteration of milk as very serious, the percentage of added water in this case was so very low that they took a lenient view. John Griffiths, Brynhyfryd, Brynam- man, was similarly summoned, the certi- fied percentage of added water being 12. The charge was admitted, and Mr. Ily. Noves, addressing the magistrates, asked them to note that on the day of the offence a quantity of milk was bought from another place, and also to consider the age of defendant's wife, who, in her 75th year, looked after the milk business.

I MINERS AND THE WAR. On Saturday the Executive of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, at the conference at Southport, discussed the proposed suspension of the Eight Hours Act in fire clay mines. No decisoin was reached, the information received being considered inadequate. Further con- sideration of the question was left with the Executive. The conference next dis- cussed the enlistment of miners. The Bishop Auckland delegate submitted the report to the Executive C-ouncil. He said in consequence of circulars posted at mines by the Home Office, and agreed to by Lord Derby, certain doubts had arisen as to the position of miners who attested and returned to work. A letter was read from the Home Secre- I tary regarding the miners' ddtibt that after attestation they migkt be put under military orders with a view to industrial compulsion. He had seen the Premier, and now gave, on behalf of the Govern- ment, an absolute assurance that under no circumstances would this be done. Miners who were attested and grouped would not be called up to serve for any purpose except fighting the enemy and de- fending the country. The conference unanimously accepted this guarantee.
