LOCAL PLACES OF PUBLIC AMUSEMENT. ROMILLY HALL. After a very successful initial t.hrec cH\nilngs¡ this wock-end In the Purple Hills," The Black Box," and Charlie, the Tramp," three sbar pic- tures, each in more than one part, will be the outstanding fetatures of an excel- lent programme at the Romllly Hall. Next week a gre<at production by the Famous Players Film Company is due, portraying Miss Marguerite Clarke in Wildnower," a film that took Lon- don by storm and has been we'll re- ceived .by all who have seen it. It is u;)doubtedJy one of the b&st of the Famous Plays productions, and draws crowds wherever shown. It i.s a drama of distinction, and should be none the less popular a<t Barry. So strenuously has the management employed their ef- fort;- to ple<ase their patrons, that the la-tter are now beginning to realise the material value of so comfortable a hall. THEATRE ROYAL, BARRY. Enormous success is attending the strenuous efforts of the management of the Moody Manners Opera Company, and exceHenuy arranged operas are drawing huge crowds to the Theatre Royal, Barry, this week. On Monday, Gounod's ''Fausf' was played to a crowded house, and rounds of applause greeted the splendid singing and en- cores were numerous. The costumes and the scenery were simply gorgeous, and the whole tableaux, dazzling with brilliant and beautiful colours, was a triumph of elaborate art. The songs were rehned, and being rendered by capable artistes, were all that could be desired. And the orchestra must not be forgotiten. The overtures and ac- cOtlnpaniment\s, led by Mr. Aylmer Buest. the capable and proncient con- ditctor, ii p on i?- h o,- ductor, upon whose leadership depends a. great deal of the success of the per- formances, were delightfully idyllic. The principals In "Faust'' were Misses May Murphy and Enid Cruickshank, and Messrs. Walter Hvde. Hubert Dun- kerley. and Charles Manners. 11 On Tuesday, The Lily of Killar- ney'' (Benedict), on its nrat appear- ance in the district, drew an enormous crowd, hardly a seat in the whole building being vacant. The appear- ance of the stage duringhe perform- ance was IndescribaMy pretty, the dif- ferent scenes being IdeaJIy realitstic. The singing was light, and the whole procedure was entirely devoid of any of atmosphere. The princi- ples in the cast were Mr. Fred D<avies as Myles-na-Coppaleen," Mr. Fumess W'illiams as Hardre&s Oregan," Mr. Charles Moorhouse as Dannv Mann," Da;nnv -Nfann, Mr. Harry Brmdie as "Father Tom, Mr. Hubert DunkerJey as Corrigan, Mr. H. Chilton as O'Moorc," Miss McCarthy as "Sheelah," Miss Lily Moody as "Mrs. Cregan." Miss W. Burns as Ann Chute," and Mtas Kitty Brownloss as Eily O'Connor," the lieroine of the piece. The dresses were a sight, especially those wo'm in the ballroom at CastJe Chmte, where, as the last act, an enjoyable evening is closed by the declaraition of Mrs. Cre- gan that her son is innocerut of the murder of Danny Mjann, who throws Etily O'Connor, Hrdre.'{s's wife, into the river. Throughout the whole piece, one was unable to lose the trend of the plot. so gripping was it. On Wednesday aftea-njoon, prior to the performance of "The Bohemian Girl, the artistes of the company visited the Y.M.C.A. Hut at the But- trills Camp, Barry, and a laj-ge num- ber of soldiers were treated to a rich music'al treat. W'ith their usual gener- osity, the management have invited the wounded soldiers at the Bed Cross Hospital, Barry Docks, and the St. John Hospital, Barry Island, to the matinees on Saturday afternoon, when "II Trava.tofe" will be presented. From the beginning to end of "The Bohemian Girl," presented on Wednes- day to a crowded house, the audience were kept thrilled with the beauteous- ness of it all. The arrangements on the stage, compiled by a master hand, took one's breath away. It seemed as though it were a earthly paradise. Yet, through it all, the actors and act- resses worked heroically In endeavour- ing to please. And they did please. Thunderous applause which would make the biggest pessimist delighted, greeted their efforts, and not all un- deservedly. The music was dulcinu- ous, and all were entranced bv the har- monic singing. Those who took the principal parts in the cast were Mr. Frederick Hargrave as "Thaddens," Mr. Flmtoff Moore as "Count Arn- heirn." Mr. Fred Davies as "Florc- stein," Mr. W. Mmnett as "Captain of the Guard." Mr. Harry Brindle as "Devilshoof." Miss Phyllis Archibald as "Queen of the Gipsies," Miss Amce as "Buda. and Miss Muriel Gough as "Arltne. The chorus of gipsies, pea- sants, soldiers, ftc., gave proof of the gcod result. of a capable h'ammg by the swept blpnü:ng of voic<r's. To-night (rphn rsdav).

Too much cannot be said of the emciency of the general direction of the operas by Mr. Charles Manners, whilst Messrs. J. Griffin and Clifton Hall, the stage and general manager respectively must be congratulated upon their capable "engineering" of the proceedings. I KING'S HALL. The management of the King's Hall have arranged for an ex.cel.lent pro- gramme of picture's to be screened this evening (Thursday) and for the re- maining portion of the week.

_==-=-=:=-=== AFRAID TO EAT. WEALTHY DYSPEPTIC DIES OF STARVATION. An inquest was recently held upon a wealthy man who had died of starva- tion. He was a victim of digestive trouble and afraid to eat because of the pain which always followed. This tragic proof of the folly of dieting should servo as a warning to those of our readers who experience! pain and unpleasantness after eating. It should I bo remembered that indigestion, dys- pepsia, heartburn, flatulence and wind are usually but symptoms of excessive acidity and food fermentation. The acid retards digestion, turns the food sour and causes fermentation and wind. Obviously, therefore, it is acidity which is the root cause of practically all forms of digestive and sto'ma.ch trouble, and that is why physicians advise sufferers to take bisurated magnesia after meals. Bisuraced magnesia -is not a drug or a medicine but an antacid and food cor- rective which can be obtained locally from A. P. Newman. of 51. Thompson- street. and most other high-class chemist's everywhere. Half a toaspoon- ful taken In a little water aftor meals is sumcient to instantly neutralise acidity and prevent all possibility of the food fermenting, and if dyspeptics would only adopt this simple precau- tion they would soon find drug-taking and dieting unnecessary: bisurated magnesia would enable them to eat. hearty meals without fear of pain to follow.

NEW ORGAN AND RENOVATION I AT MICHAE.LSTONB-LE-PIT. l On Tuesday evening last, in the q.uaint old Church of St. Michael's, Michaetlsibone-le-pit, a service of dedica- tiofn of a new organ, lamps, and has- socks, was hold, when there was a crowded congregation. The Rev. G. P. Turner, M.A., Rector of St. Augus- tine's, Penartih, preached an appro- priate (Sermon. The service was fol- lowed by an organ recital, given by Mr. Norman Kendrick, of Cardie, the soloists being Miss Blanche John, Dinas Powis (contralto), Mr. Gwilym Price, CardiN (tenor), and Mr. Talbot Thomas, Cardiff (bass). The organ is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Peacock, Orchardleigh, in memory of their son, Lestlie Gordon Peacock. The seven beautiful hanging lamps, in oxidised silver, were also the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Peacock and a few friends. The hassocks were given by Mrs. H. H. Wilson, The Coppice, Dinas Powis, who are all keenly inteTested in the welfare of this Church. The collection, amount- ing to Y,7 10s. 7d., was in aid of the restorta-ticn fund. The renovations were ca'rried out by Mr. John Britton and Messrs. Cram and Co., Dinas Powis.

THE NEED OF INDIVIDUAL ECONOMY. \VAR EMERGENCY CAMPAIGN ATBARR.Y. A. scries of meetings in connection with the South Glamorgan Emergency Campaign, are being held in the town this week, and were commenced on Monday evening last, at Holton-road Schools, Barry Docks, Mr. J. Marshall, J.P. (chairman of the Barry District Council) presiding. The object of the meetings is to emphasise how best could each individual citizen help the Coun- try in her present urgent needs. There was a good attendance, the speakers being Mr. A. W. Hersee, London, and Mr. E. Black, Cardiff. In opening the meeting the Chairman said this was not a political meeting. It was a meeting to consider how each individual should practise economy. Be they Conservative, Liberal, or Labour, they should each do their best. "We must all know, he said, "that we are 'in the throes of a sisantic struggle aa for our national existence. It was' their duty to make it as comfortable for their lads at the Front as possible, and as hard as possible for eligible men to stay at home. (Cheers.) Mr. A. W. Hersee, addressing the meeting, sa.kl abouit fourteen months ago, Mr. Bonar Law told the people that they were fighting for their very existence, and, said the speaker, they had to be prepared. They would have to bear groat demands upon their re- sources. They had to help the Coun- try. The women had the hoav.iest bur- dens to bear, and the men should help the women to solve the difficulties which they had to contend with. They had all heard a great deal about munition and war workers neglecting their work. There was some truth in this. Every man who did not do his best to keep our men at the Front adequately supplied with munitions was unworthy of the name of Briton. (Cheers.) The house- wife had a chance to bring down the family expenditure. The Chancellor <* the Exchequer had said that the ex- penditure on drink alone was .B1 CO, 000,000. and if the mc=n only cut down the drink bill bv half, millions would be saved yearly. Mr. E. Black, addressing the meet- ing. said they were nghting for free- dom a.nd for liberty; and peace at the price of liberty would be worse thanj death itself. Every man who owned a motor-car for pleasure, he said, did harm to his country, inasmtich as he was preventing an able-bodied chauf- feur from joining the Forces. They had a democratic Government, but every man who wa.s waiting to be fetched was helping to make an auto- crat'! c Government. After the speakers had addressed the meeting, several questions were asked, i THE MEETINGS CONTINUED. Similar meetings to promote the spirit of patriotism, under the a'uspices of the War Emergency Campaign, were held, on Tuesday evening, at Hjanniah- street and Romilly-POtad .Schools, when the chairmen were CiouncilLor J. E. Lovers and Mr. J. C. Meggitft, J.P., and on Wednesday evening at C'adoxtou arLd Barry Island Schools, chairmen, Mr. Jones Tho'm'as, J.P., and Mr. W. Grah'am, J.P. The meetings will also be hald this evening (Thursday), at 7.30, at BLigh- stireet and St. Helen's Schools; and on Friday evening at Glad.sto:ne-road and Palmerston-road Schools, when the same speakers will give addresses.

Per- haps the most important is this—that in modern warfare victory cannot be won by soldiers only, however brave and effective. It is essential that we should have .coal fo.r our Navy, and an unprecedented amount of munitions of war. Hence our coal miners, and our munition workers, have become public servants of the State, to be controlled for State purposes, just -as much as our soldiers and sailors. But modern war- fare requires also an enormous amount of money, and much of this must -be gained by saving. There arc three great spending departments in this country—the central government, loca.1 authorities, and homes. In all three thrift should be practised sedulously, and science and skill brought to bear on the problem. Women at present have .scarcely anything to do with the central government, very little with the local authorities, but everytMng to do with t-he homes. In the nine milMon homes of Great Britain women ha.ve to do practically all the speeding, and probably their most important work in the present grave crisis is to economise in their homes. We have been for a long time a rich nation, and many of the homes of Bri- tain have been very comfortable, but I no one outside England lias ever ac- cused us of thrift. There is little doubt that, without making our homes at all less healthy, or lessening the emciency of a single worker, we could so manage I our homes that we could invest largely in the war fund. Many smaLl sujns added together make a large sum, and it NN-,q,q roughly co<mputed the either day that British home-makers could with skUl and knowledge easily .save ha-lf the cost of the war. But in order to do thLs they must learn new ways, and they mufst give time and thought and work. We women oanno-t nght, but we c<sm nevortheJe-ss render invaluable service to our country to-day, not in the excite- ment of the h'eoohès; but in the quiet of our homes. Are we willing to pay the price? We women must nrst leam, and the women of Barry a.re arranging a course of demonstrations in war cookery, and every such branch of home-mjaking, in gardening, etc. Experts will 'teach us how to make 6d. go as far as 6d. can. The Jocal papers have generously promised to print, free of charge, each week, two recipes and 'de'tailjs of the next week's lecture.. Co-operation is everytthing. One woman alone can do very little, but Barry women united can do wonders. It is a great privilege to bo alive in these eventful days, when our oppor- tunities of service are so great, but great opportunities require greaJt sacri- fices. Let us prepare beforehand, and let all classes of women unite together to work and save fortheir country. The first cookery demonstration lecture will be given at St. Mary''s Hall, Wednes- day, October 27th, 3 p.m. "Admission free.

AUTUMN CHEST PERILS. UP-TO-DATE TREATMENT FOR COUGHS, COLDS, AND BRONCHITIS. Moat people have good reason to dread the arrival of Autumn with its chilly nighds, and damp, clammy air. There is not only the usual crop of bad colds, coughs, tender throats, or sore chesbs to contend with, but the danger of bronchitis, pleurisy, or pneumonia is also present to-day. Rreathe-able Peps, however, rob the weather of its terrors. Witih a box of Peps .always handy you may defy coughs, colds, and bronchitis even on the most chilly or changeable days. You take a Peps tablet Out of tihe silver jacket in which it is sealed, and place it on the tongue. As the tablet dissolves, powerful healing, strengthen- ing, and germ-destroying fumes arise, and are breached direct into the throat, bronchial tubes, and lungs. In this unique fashion the throat and chest are cleared of phlegm and other impurities; lurking germs of disease are destroyed; the membranes, injured and inflamed by incessant coughing, are soothed and healed, and .all the breathing passages strengthened and toned up. The useleesness of liquid remedies for lung troubles is obvious to all, since it is quitte impossible to swallow a liquid into the lungs. All liquids pass atrtaightt into the stomach, and most oJd- fashioned cough mixtures and cough cures are dangerously loaded with opium, chloral, morphia, and other narcotics and sedatives. Peps are en- tirely free from these drugs, and are safe alike for young and old. The Peps method of compressing a breatheable,med-icine into solid tablef form is the latest triumph of modern science. It realises the aim of many groat .specialists in throat and lung troubles. Pops are praised everywhere by people who have proved their wonder- ful power in oases of chronic cough, colds, bronchitis, asthma, innuonza, sore throat, old-age cough, bronchial asthma, dimcult breathing, tightness of the chest, laryngitis, chest weakness, factory and workshop coughs, chil- dren's coughs, wheeziness, and other throat and chest ailments.'

MORE APPEALS TO PUBLIC. I "THERE IS MONEY ABOUT NOW." BARRY RELIEF COMMITTEE LESS THAN A QUORUM. A meeting of the Barry Local Belief Committee was held on Friday even- ing last, with Mr. J. Marshall, J.P. (chairman) presiding. The members present were Mr. R. A. Sprent, J.P., and Mr. S. R. Jones. DISTRESSING FATALITY. A letter was received from the sec- retary of the French Relief Fund, Pall -inlall, London, stating that the vessel, which was conveying 50 motor ambul- ances, the result of the recent French Flag Day, had been sunk by a German submarine: and appealing to the Coun- cil to open a. special fund in the town. Mr. T. B. Tordoif (the clerk) sug- gested sending personal letters. AL fr. H. A. Sprent favoured publish- ing an appeal in t<he Press. TIie Chairman pointed out that the X104. realised by the local Flag Day, was for non-combatants in towns oc- cupied by the Germans in France, and not for these motor ambulances. He did not think publication would do much good. Unless they did some- thing more than the ordinary appeal, he was afraid there would not be a large response. The Clerk sadd there was a Red Cross Flag Day to be held shortly. Mr. Sprent pointed out that there was money about now. if the fact a<bout the loss of the ambulances was published, he thought it \vould have a desirable effect. The Clerk said the only way to get substantial subsciptions was to send out circular letters. Mr. S. R. Jones said that as the weather grew colder, there was no doubt that more appeals would be made. APPEAL FOR BELGIAN PRISONERS. A letter was read at this stage with regard to Belgian prisoners in Germany asking that an appeal be made in the town in order to relieve them. Mr. S. R. Jones suggested that the matters be deferred. This was agreed to. SELECT CONCERT FOR BARRY. A communication was read from London, stating that a concert, in which some of the best artistes in London would take part, would be held at Barry in November, the proceeds to be devoted to the Belgian Red Cross, and asking that a hall be placed at the dis- posal of the concert. It was decided, on the suggestion of Mr. Sprent. to reply that a. hall could be provided, if the correspondent would undertake t4) form a local committee amongst the refugees in the town. COMFORTS FOR THE TROOPS. The question of holding a jumble sale, for providing comforts for troops, which was deferred from the last meet- ing, was considered. It was decided to communicate with the ameers commanding regiments stationed in the district, in order to get de<nnite information as to when the men were leaving for active service.

CONTRIBUTION. It was reporter that the total contri- but' ns from the district to the National ReJif'fF\llId \n'rB £2.262 Is 3d. Paid back to the town. 23.925. To the local ftmd. the sum of £2ó6 had been contributed, and there was a bftl- ance m hand of XS5 5&. lid.
