THE QUESTION OF JJEALTH. This is a matter which concerns you surely at one time or another especially when influenza. is so prevalent as it is just now. It is well to know what to take to ward off an attack of this most weakening disease, to combat it whilst under its baneful influence, and particularly after an attack, for then the system is so lowered as to be liable to the most dangerous of complaints. Q.WILYM EVANS' QUININE gITTERS Is acknowledged by all who have given it a fait trial to be the best specific remedy for dealing with influenza in all its various stages, being a Prepara- tion skilfully prepared with Quinine and accompanied with other Blood Purifying and enriching agents, suitable for the Liver, Digestion, and all those ailments requiring Tonic strengthening and nerve increasing properties. It is invaluable when suffering with Colds, Pneumonia, or any serious illness or prostration caused by sleeplessness or worry of any kind, when the body has a general feeling of weakness and lassi- tude.

I INEVITABLE.-
I INEVITABLE. The members of the County Education Authority, without distinction of party, accept the increase of 2Jd. in the rates as inevitable. We hope the public will view the prospect of paying the rates with equal resignation. Local Authorities can only administer the Education Acts to the best of their ability. They have to keep the schools efficient, otherwise they are not recognised if the school attendance is not regular the grants suffer and the deficiency must be made up out of the rates. Every new Act of Parliament means additional expense, and in the matter of education, which ought to be almost, if not entirely, a charge on the imperial exchequer, that expense is par- ticularly heavy. We do not grudge any expenditure on education so long as it is on education proper, and not on cumbrous or useless machinery. We believe medical inspection to be a useful reform it is a wise preventive measure, and will safeguard children in many important respects. But the spending of two or three hundred pounds on weighing machines is sheer waste. It is possible to tell whether a child is ill- nourished without weighing it. Weight, except in abnormal conditions, is no test of health, nor is it always a proof that body and brain are well-nourished. Children like adults, differ so widely in physical structure, in the size of bone, and length of body, neck, and legs that any weight test must necessarily be fallacious. Of course the Education Committee have no alternative but to provide these weighing machines, but the fact that they are required to provide them shows what we may expect from Government by "experts," whether medical or otherwise. With regard to the heavy loss which the Committee are afraid they will sustain owing to the decreased consumption of whisky it is satisfactory to learn from the Chancellor of the Exchequer that a portion of the proceeds from the Land Taxes will be available for this purpose. We presume it will be a fixed amount, and thus avoid any possible hardship from fluctuation. The other causes responsible for the increase in the education rate are more expenditure on evening schools and a closer attention to dairy work-two estimable objects. In con- clusion we may be permitted to congratulate Archdeacon Hilbers on his appointment as chairman of the finance committee. It was a gracious act on the part of the committee to elect the Archdeacon-who is highly esteemed by all parties-as their chairman, and it will have the advantage of welding together both sections, and thus avoid education, and especially expenditure connected with edu- cation, being made a party question.

The lecture, beautifully illus- trated by numerous lantern views, was greatly enjoyed by the audience which comfortably filled the chapel. The lecturer, who is full of his subject and spoke without notes, described in racy language the various places and objects of sacred interest he had visited, as pictures of these were thrown on laa screen. The duties of chair- man were pleasantly carried out by Mr John Walters, Southwood. The lantern was manipulated by the Rev. W. J. Evans, pastor. The proceeds go to the augmenta- tion fund.

I More Polling Stations. I CONVENIENCE OF VOTERS CON- SIDERED. I ANOTHER COUNTY COUNCILLOR FOR FISHGUARD. Mr J. Howard Griffiths presided at a meeting of the Local Government Act Committee at Haverfordwest on Monday afternoon, when Mr W. G. Eiton Evans attended as under-sheriff to assist the Committee in the re-arrangement of certain polling stations. He drew special attention to the unsatisfactory situation in John- ston at Parliamentary Elections. The only available polling station was a school to which there was only one doorway. All the voters, and there were no fewer than 1,253 on the register, had to make their entrance and exit through this door. The Chairman remarked that there were some lively scenes there with the suffragettes. Mr Eaton Evans suggested that instead of Johnston, there should be one station at Rhosmarket, to include Burton (183 voters), Llangwm 154, L'anstadwell 228, Rhosmarket 55, Neyland 7,' Freystrop 57—total 698 and another station at Steynton for flakin 86, Hubberston 43, Johnston 59, Milford 64, Steynton 273, out-voters 5- total 53. The Committee approved of the suggestion. REPRESENTATION OF FISHGUARD. It was decided to recommend an additional county councillor to Fishguard, and that a new Parliamentary polling district be created for Llanwnda and Manorowen parishes. COUNTY COUNCIL POLLING STATIONS. It was decided to make no change in any of the existing county council polling stations.
Freystrop Council's Difficulty.…
Freystrop Council's Difficulty. NEW ASSISTANT OVERSEER I APPOINTED. Mr J. S. Roberts presided at a special meeting of the Freystrop parish council held in Freystrop schoolroom last evening. The other members present were Mr David Woolcock (Whitehouse) Mr George Woolcock (Pencaer) Mr Brown (School House); Mr George Cousins (Freystrop Cross); Mr John Cousins (Middle Hill); Mr W. Eynon (The Barn); and Mr Owen (Selwyn College). APPOINTMENT OF ASSISTANT OVERSEER AND I CLERK. The Chairman, at the outset, mentioned that the meet- ing that evening had been convened to discuss the appointment of an assistant overseer and clerk. At the previous meeting, Mr John Cousins (junior), Middle Hill, had been appointed to this position but it was alleged that he was not old enough to undertake the office. Mr John Cousins said this matter had now been on hand for a long while, and he wished it settled. He added that his son was only six weeks younger than a previous clerk, and he might have given his wrong age, and the council would have been no wiser. 0 The--Cha-irman But that would not have been right. Mr Cousins Certainly not. He would not have done it on any account. Mr G. Woolcock Has Mr Cousins a son old enough to fill the office ? Mr Cousins Oh yes, I have several. Mr David Wolcock I propose that Mr Cousins's eldest son, Mr William Cousins, be appointed. Mr George Cousins seconded. Mr Brown: I think that we should hold another meeting, and in the meantime invite applicants from the parish. Mr Owen I propose that Mr Alfred James be appoint- ted. Mr Eynon seconded and on a show of hands four voted for Mr William Cousins and three for Mr James. Mr William Cousins was therefore appointed. Mr John Cousins inquired for information about the books. The Chairman said he would undertake to get the minnte book, and that the newly appointed clerk should ask Mr Jcseph Davies for these. Mr Roberts added that the council had no right to the books but he did not think Mr Cousin's son would have any difficulty in getting them. No doubt Mr Davies thought he had been unfairly dealt with. Mr George Cousins said he should like if Mr Joseph Davies had been present at the meeting to answer for himself as he (Mr Davies) had gone very far in writing to the Press and the Local Government Board. The Chairman: This is not a Court of Justice. (Laughter). The matter then dropped.

HAVERFORDWEST INSTITUTE
HAVERFORDWEST INSTITUTE MORE POPULAR THAN EVER. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual 'general meeting of the subscribers and members of she Haverfordwest Men's Institute was held on Friday evening. Mr Isaiah Reynolds presided over both gatherings. There was a large attendance and at the meeting of subscribers the following gentlemen were elected to represent the subscribers on the executive committee:—Messrs J. LI. Phillips, A. 13. Williams, William John (senior), W. B. W. John, and Colin Campbell. The election is for a period of three years. Addressing the members afterwards in the billiard room, the Chairman referred to the auspicious circumstances in which they met that night. The membership had greatly increased, and if members canvassed young men in the next twelve months he believed the membership would be doubled. That would mean a great improvement in their financial position. Continuing, the Chairman said that the Institute was more popular now in Haverfordwest than it had ever been. (Applause). The public were beginning to grasp the fact that it was not a political institution—(Applause)—and that it was established for the benefit of the young men of Haverfordwest. He felt sure that as time went on the feeling that the Institute was a political institu- tion would die an inglorious death. (Laughter). He hoped every member would do his best to induce other men to join, so that they might have in the near future at least 100 ordinary paying members. Proceeding, the Chairman mentioned that the execu- tive committee would have a great deal of arduous work to do in the course of the next few months. It was impossible to take those premises without incurring a great deal of expense, but with the active sympathy of townspeople this would vanish like dew before the morning sun. (Applause). To wipe off the debt would be the committee's first duty, but this would have to be done without sacrificing other matters connected with the Institute. Several things would have to be developed and perfected, and when that work was done he believed they could appeal with the certainty of a good response to the townspeople for their practical sympathy and generosity. He did not think that the old town would be found backward in supporting this institu- tion, as it had supported other institutions in the past. TREASURER'S STATEMENT. The treasurer (Mr A. H. Howard), read the state- ment of accounts up to March 31st last. Sub- scriptions and donations received amounted to £ 42 11s Od, members' yearly subscriptions to £ 11 18s 6d, members' quarterly subscriptions to A:6 17s 3d-a total of 1:61 lis 9d. Billiards brought in X71 12s 8d, lettings 1:48 15s lOd, lectures and enter- tainments, .£26 18s 8d. There was a debit balance of £19 2s lOd brought forward from last year, rent of Temperance Hall, with rates and taxes, came to £67 6s 6d, and there were other expenses including V2 Is 5d, repairs to billiard table, and £ 78 Os Od, in respect of the contract of the new premises, furniture, (c., which made a total ofE295 9s 5d. The balance due to the bank was, therefere, £ 86 16s 6d. Mr Howard mentioned that the whole of the deficit was due to the expense involved in going into the new premises, which really amounted to £102. But for that, there would have been a balance in hand this year of abotitt:13, (Applause). The report was adopted on the motion of Mr Charles Davies, seconded by Mr Codd. Mr C. C. Saies moved a hearty vote of thanks to the Treasurer, and remarked that the meeting must feel highly gratified at the result of the balance sheet. They expected to have been much more heavily in debt than was actually the case. Mr Pettit seconded, and said that in Mr Howard the members had the right man in the right place. The vote was carried with acclamation, the Chair- man remarking that Mr Howard was the new secretary as well. Returning thanks, Mr Howard said he would endeavour during the next 12 months to give the members every satisfaction as bon. secretary. He explained, however, that he would not have time to devote to outside objects in aid of the Institute-such as carnivals, whist drives, etc. A vote of thanks was also passed to Mr F. J Warren, F.S.A.A, and Mr Thies for having audited the accounts. I THE SECRETARY'S REPORT. Mr W. E. C. Lewis, the retiring hon. secretary, submitted his report for the past year. He re-called how about twelve months ago some misguided friends prophesied the death of the Institute. The Institute was certainly in a very unenviable position at the time, but little as he knew of horticulture, he believed, it was necessary for the seed to die before it could live again. (Laughter). They were certainly in a transitional stage, and matters would certainly have got very much worse had they not removed from unsuitable premises. He believed they would now, in the present premises, be able to provide pleasure, recreation and and innocent amusement for the people of Haverfordwest for many years to come. Continuing Mr Lewis referred to a few institutions of the highest importance to young men which had been encouraged by the Institute. He referred in particular, to the formation of the Literary Society, who had had a room placed at their disposal by the executive committee at a nominal rental. With regard to the gymnasium, which had been provided at a considerable expense, it was regrettable that there was a falling off here. It had one merit for Haverfordwest—it was new, but perhaps the young men of Haverfordwest felt themselves fully developed without resort to the trapeze in the evening. (Laughter). It was suggested that they should form a glee society in connection with the Institute, but there was an excellent glee society in the town now. With regard to the Institute generally, Mr Lewis mentioned that they had received support from people of all political persuasions and all denomina- tions showing conclusively that the Institute had no political bias and favoured no dogma of any kind. To be successful every institute must be non-political. Owing to want of time and pressure of other work he had been reluctantly obliged to hand in his resig- nation as secretary. For the past 31 years he had had some share in the secretarial work. The work bad been trying sometimes, but he must honestly say that he had found the committee, from the chairman to the youngest member, ready to give him every assistance, and very generous in placing every facility at his disposal. Indeed every member had rallied round him and given him every support and encouragement in the not altogether unenviable position of secretary to the Institute. (Applause). Mr Howard paid a tribute to Mr Lewis, remarking that the late secretary had the temper of Job. (Laughter). He proposed a vote of thanks to Mr Lewis for his services. This was seconded by Mr A. B. Williams, who said that he knew something about the duties of an honorary secretary, and they were arduous in the extreme. He himself was secretary for the county in connection with the Church Commission and the Commission of Justices for the Peace. Mr Lewis suitably replied, and said he was always ready to do anything in his power for the Institute. He should be pleased to give every assistance to his successor. A SUMMER TRIP. lur J. A. White brought up the question of an Institute trip this season and the hon. sec. gave details of a day trip to London, should the Institute decide on visiting the Metropolis. It was decided that there should be a trip in September next, and the members be invited to name the place they desired to go to and the amount they were prepared to contribute towards it each week. THE CONSTITUTION. A discussion took place on the constitution of the Institute, and Mr David Evans proposed that the executive committee be given plenary powers in dealing with the matter.

Eventually it was decided that the executive committee should submit their report to a general meeting for confirmation or otherwise. A CARNIVAL. Mr W. E. C.

The solo parts in the hymns were taken by Miss Lizzie Lloyd and Miss Agnes Phillips and Mr W. White presided at the organ. The special preacher was the Rev. Richard Jones B. A. of Llaudiuam, and formerly of Wiston. who delivered three impressive sermons. Prior to the morning discourse Mr Jones gave a very interesting and instructive sermonette to the children. What is Religion "? was the subject upon which Mr Jones spoke in his morning sermon. He said that religion had been made a very complica-ted and perplexing thing, and they did not realise that it was the simplest thing in the world. It was love to God and love to man. The discourse wa.s full of interesting observations, and delivered in an earnest manner, and should prove very helpful. In the evening Mr Jones preached a very edifying sermon on The Authority of Christ." The services were bright and hearty and the collections were in aid of church funds.
