A visit to the site shows that good pi-ogress has already been made with the two roads which start at the Castle 'Farm end of Park-road, It is on the t.:ppor of these two roads that the 52 tenses, which are to be let at rents ranging approximately from o b «;r' 6/- to 12- or 13/- a week. -exclusive of I:atf< are now being t,!ilt.OI1 the lower road provi- 'šloll is made for the. building of larger hnuscs to. the rerpnrements of pur- chasers.

The Committee considered an ac- count for work done by the Gas and Water Department at Cadoxton and Hannah-street .Schools in connection with the Military occupation in 1914. The Chairman explained that the account was for £26. There was a lot of history about this account, and he would sive reasons why he thought the I Committee should not defend the ac- count. Before the .Military came to the schools, an order was given for new gas mantles and forks, so that these were ne'eded for the schools. There was also a new cooker put in just before they arrived. Mr. Lowdon: They should pay for that. The Chairman agreed, and proceeded to give detailed accounts, enumerating what he thought should and should not be paid for by the Military, and inti- mated that a gentleman representing the latter intended coming to Barry to examine the accounts. Mr. J. Felix Williams having moved that the matter be left to the Chairman to interview the gentleman, this was carried. I CARETAKERS AND EVENING SCHOOL WORK.

r PARTIES MARRIED AT BARRY. WIFE'S APPLICATION IX THE DIVORCE COURT. In the Divorce Court on Thursday last, Mr. Justice Horridge heard the petition for restitution of conjugal rights of Margaret Aitken Quack. She married Emil Aitken Quack, the re- spondent, on the 6th of April, 1909, at Barry Parish Church. He was an Englishman, and she an English- woman, and they lived at Barry and South Shields. Petitioner said she lived happily with her husband until five or six years ago, when they separated for about two years for nnancial reasons. Petitioner took a position as governess to help matters. They lived tcagether again, but later respondent obtained a situa- tion in Scotland, and declined to talte petitioner with him, although he pro- vided her with a house. Last summer she received a letter from her hus- band's solicitors, telling her that the house was to be given, up, and that the boys were to be sent to a boarding- school. In consequence she had to go elsewhere. In March this year, she &aid, she wrote her husband:— Dear Dick,—It is now a long time since you left me, and I cannot go on living in this way. I now make a final appeal for you to live with me again. and let me take my proper place as your wife.—Your affectionate wife, Madge." In reply her husband's solici- tors wrote her saying he was not com- ing back. An order for restitution was made, to be obeyed within fourteen days.

SUMMER FATIGUE AND ITS DANGERS. The fatigue and loss of appetite felt by so many readers in summer time constitutes a certain danger to health, for meals are missed which the body needs: then strength diminishes and the system loses its power to resist dis- ease. Usually debility and depression nrst arise. .Summer fatigue comes not from over- exertion, but from loss of tone, and is an indication that the system is lan- guishing for a true tonic. Frequently it is caused by drinking too freely of iced drinks; from eating uncooked vegetables unsuited to a weak diges- tion or from eating food that has be- come unwholesome. Whatever the cause, the trouble lasts only as long as the blood remains im- poverished. New blood banishes the trouble promptly by restoring tone and strength. This is easily proved by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The heathful influence of the new blood created by these pills is promptly apparent in the sharpened appetite, strengthened digestion, and renewed energy. Brieny, these pills banish all languour and debility, create an appetite, and cure the ailments for which summer is held responsible. All dealers sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but be careful to ask for Dr. Wil- liams'. FREE. -The Diet Guide, What to Eat," sent free on receipt of post card addressed Offer Dept., 46.

We have just been through a terrible time in the tiring line. We made a charge, and lost very heavily, only my- self returning out of the section. It started at about three o'clock in the morning, when the Germans com- menced sending liquid nro" at us. Then began the bombardment, and they fairly shook the ground, and the sights i were awful. We have lost, all our offi- cers, and my pals have all been killed or wounded. I got your parcel this morning, and it came in very handy. It was a good job it came when it did, or else the Germans would have had it. They have got everything else I had in my pack. I came through the whole action with a had headache. There were a couple of Barry boys killed." I Mr. and Mrs. Tuxworth have two lsons in H.M. Forces, Private Charles Tux\\o)'th being in the Glamorgan (Fortress) Royal Engineers.
