An English medical observer claims that for one death to starvation there are seven from over-eating. His investigation is appalling, and leads one to believe that among the Anglo-Saxon race over-eating is a national crime. This investigation proves over-eating to be the caase in ten cases out of twelve ot indigestion and stomach trouble. These diseases bring on decay and decline of the other organs and death ensues, because of an inability of the system to furnish proper nourishment to the dying and afflicted parts. When one over-eats one exhausts the gastric fluids, throws undigested food into the intestines, where it creates poison and germ life and is finally absorbed in a putrid state or thrown from the system in a decaying form. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will overcome the ill-effects of over-feeding and irregular eating. They will digest an abnormal amount of food and wiJl not leave the stomach until everything has been digested. A single one-grain ingredient of these tablets Will digest 3,000 grains of food. and in this proportion is seen howeven gluttony can be overcome or at least its most harmful effects retnoved. Make 'up your mind to try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for one week. Take a tablet after each meal and upop- retiring at night. Every chemist can supply them, price I/I £ 219 and 4/6.

I The Man in the Street. I ■ +. It seems to me to be wasting time to ask if the Cardiff students, particularly those who recently interrupted Sir Oliver Lodge, are gentlemen or asses. But it does appear to be an opportune time to inquire if civilisation has advanced enough to demand a reform in the general behaviour of students everywhere when let loose from their studies. There are two more or less bad reasons why young collegians get boisterous. First of all, the more industrious among them have been "swotting" hard at their dry-as- dust studies, and it is such a relief to get away from them that they must seize the first and most favourable opportunity to let themselves go." Only the worker feels the highest joy of recreation, and it would seem that the college authorities would do well to cutivate a closer acquaintance with the virtue of games, to enable over-taxed students to balance the strain on the brain with an unstinted use of the limbs. The students who provide cat concerts a;t public ceremonies really require a good game at football, baseball, rounders, hockey, or some other pastime with which to use up their breath and work off their effervescing energy. In other words, the unemployed parts of their machinery want something to do. Another reason for these pitiable dis- plays is founded largely on tradition. It has been the fashion at Oxford and Cam- bridge to rag and row for centuries, and the mistaken notion is imbibed that some- thing of the same kind, if more refined, is required at the other universities. This idea should be ruthlessly stamped out. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but even the privileged under- graduates on the Isis and the Cam are beginning to understand that the world is becoming too enlightened to bear with their boyish horseplay much longer. The Welsh students should manfully refuse to imitate Oxford and Cambridge, and should aim at becoming the pioneers of gentlemanly behaviour in students. The rough fun of these promising hobbledehoys —for they are neither men nor boys— has been tolerated because it is recog- nised that it is a way students have, and that boys will be boys." But it would be a splendid thing for Wales if we could I point to our students as the best-behaved in the United Kingdom, as well as claim- ing them as the cleverest and the most distinguished. That there is to be no diminution in the celebration of "the glorious Fifth" is evident on all hands. The political and the religious significance attaching to the day disappeared long ago, but the boys of the present generation are apparently of the same build as their fathers and grandfathers, and the bangs will be as deliriously numerous in their surprises this year as ever they were before. The manufacturers find them- selves breaking all records, and one firm alone has provided eighty million bangs in Chinese and other crackers, besides producing sufficient fire fountains, mines of snapdragons, devils among the tailors, and gold and silver rain to maintain the w hole of Bridgend town in a continuous picture of fancy lights for a full hour. Nervous ladies will do well to prepare for strange and startling arrivals through the letter box, and it may be taken that the key-hole will retain undiminished its popularity among unimaginative small boys who seek full enjoyment in return for their investment of mysteriously garnered pence. The seniors who have reliable memories look on this firework bank holiday with much leniency, and even those who growl about the burning of money could remember with a very slight effort the jolly days when their "Olis" ascended with the chorus that followed the bursting of a shower of red and green stars up above on the airship highway. Health formed a very important part of the deliberations of the Llandaff and Dinas Powis District Council yesterday. I As is the general fashion, the birth-rate had fallen a few points, but the chairman (Mr. Robert Forrest) was able to refer to the death-rate, 8.64 per 1,000 inhabi- tants, as very satisfactory. In such a healthy district, it appeared rather, strange that the medical officer (Dr. R. Prichard) should be able to call attention to a new disease, nameless and comparatively unknown. It seems that there is a fever like, and yet unlike, scarlatina, sufficiently like to be con- founded, but independent enough to enable the patient to contract both, no matter which he possesses at the time. Ordinarily, people do not contract scar- let fever a second time, but, given the opportunity, patients will take the new disease, or, if afflicted with the latter, are ready for scarlatina. So far it is called the "Fourth" disease, for the want of a better name and to distinguish it from scarlatina, measles, and German measles. Perhaps, the best way out of the difficulty would be to label it the "Llandaff fever" or "Whitchurch measles"? Mr. Peter Sharpe also referred to a matter which requires some attention. It appears that certain Whitchurch children have been forbidden school because of sore throats, but have been permitted the free run oif the village to execute errands for parents and tradespeople. Surely, this is a matter in which the public can render assistance tq minirfiise the danger thus made apparent. People this side of the Atlantic are recovering from the municipal elections to discover that in America the rival claims of Dr. Cook and Commander Peary to the North Pole are still being disputed. The situation produced is a curious one, and may have funny results. While the disputants are so busy, it would be just as well for a Britsher to set out and place the discovery of the Pole beyond question. One can hardly imagine a Britisher claiming what he has not found, but in America they appear to be divided against the two claimants. Unfortunately, the Pole cannot be divided, and I suppose the quarrel must proceed until something definite is known. By the time both Cook and Peary are in their graves it may be conceded they got there. Possibly their spirits will return to emphasise the message they find such hard work to deliver on the earth. Anyhow, they are welcome to the Pole if they will only give tb& world a little peace. —■

CURATE SUED FOR A PUNT The Rev. Wilfred H. Abbot, curate-in-charge of St. Mary's Church, Ash Vale, Aldershot, was sued at Farnham County-court yester- day for 14, the value of a punt, or the return of the craft. The Plaintiff, Mr. Paul, said that Mr. Abbot formerly stayed at his house, and on leaving wrote that he would give the plaintiff his punt in appreciation of the way in which he had been treated. He took the punt away, however, and ignored demands for its return. Mr. Abbot, who said that the letter was jocularly written, was ordered to pay JE4. or 5s. if the punt were returned within fourteen days.

STOLEN SWEETS William Cook, a little boy of nine years, was noticed by his stepmother to pay fre- quent surreptitious visits to his bedroom. She followed him, and found him eating from a pot of jam. He told her he had stolen it, so she tok him snd the jam to a neighbouring shop. The boy was charged at Old-street yesterday with stealing the jam, but Mr. Biron, the magistrate, said it was perfectly ridiculous to bring such a charge against such a little boy when his parents could deal with the matter themselves. The boy was discharged.

I Welsh Culture I I NATIONAL STUDIES AT LAMPETER. I The members of the Cardiganshire Anti- quarian Society held their quarterly meeting at Lampeter. The mayor and corporation went to the railway station to meet them, and a procession was formed to the Town- hall, where a meeting was held to transact business. The appointment of Sir Edward Webley ¡ Parry-Pryse, G-ogerddan, as president was unanimously confirmed. The following appointments were also confirmed:-Pro-fes- sor Tyrrel Green Lampeter, chairman of the executive; Alde-nnan. Edward Evans, Aber- ystwyth, treasurer; and the Rev. J. F. Lloyd, vil-ax of blaaiuar, secretary. I There was an interestang exhibition of local antiquities, in regard to which the Rev. George Eyre Evans, Aberystwyth, gave an ] instructive address. After a visit to the ruins i of Peterwell and to the site of the ancient St. Thomas's Church, the members were entertained at lunch by the principal and professors of St. David's College. Professor Tyrrel Green, in submitting the toast of The Cardiganshire Antiquarian Society," said it was most fitting that St. David's College, Lampeter, should be the first institution to welcome the society. It was fitting because he was always proud to remember that Lampeter College was the oldest university in Wales, and the pioneer of higher education in tho country. (Applause.) Responding to the toast of "The College," Prrfessor Scott said that as one of the fore- most educational institutions, Lampeter Col- lege considered it its duty to encourage all researohes that tended to illustrate the his- tory and the origin of the Welsh people. Lampeter College was doing everything pos- sible to enoourage the study of the Welsh language. (Applause.) They had at present a record number of students in the college. (Applause.) The total number was 140, 90 of whom were Welsh speaking, and 60 of them were undergoing a special course of training in the Welsh language. Later, at the Town-hall, a public meeting was held under the chairmanship of Sir E. Webley Parry-Pryse. Mr. David Samuel, head- master of Aberystwyth College School, said that Wales had not yet acknowledged its duty to St. David's Oollege, Lampeter. Its founder (Bishop Burgess) was a worthy bene- factor of the Welsh nation. The principals who had served at Lampeter College were active, capable, and richly endowed men. Interesting papers were read by the Rev. H. M. Williams, vicar of Lledrod, on "Dialects of Cardiganshire," and Professor Anwyl on "Vestiges of Early Man in Wales." Mrs Camber Williams later gave an "At Home" at the College School.

I NEW COLLEGE COST A meeting of the council of the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire was held in the new buildings, Cathays Park, on Wednesday, the president, the Earl of Plymouth, in the chair. It was resolved that meetings of the council after this term should be held in the afternoons of the second Wednesday in each month. The council decided that a small tablet should be 6-xed in the college to perpetuate the memory of Mr. Ivor James, the tr?t registrar of the college. Mr. Leighton Davies, I.E.S., M.D., M.S., was appointed assistant lecturer and demonstrator in anatomy, in succession to Dr. Evatt, who has been appointed profes- sor of anatomy in the University of Winni- peg. Diplomas in engineering were granted to Mr. William Thomas Lewis and Mr. Stan- ley Herbert Harris. It was decided to grant a xoan, to the Alerthyr Corporation for their winter art exhibition in Cyfarthfa Castle of the marble bust by Milo Griffiths of Lord Aberdare, and certain plaques by Jo&eph Edwards. A cheque for L5 wa-s received from the Cardiff Cymmrodorion towards the prizes in the department of Welsh. The Registrar reported that the total amount oollected to date in connection with the third appeal towards the building fund was £ 11,267 13s. This sum was collected with- out expense to the college, other than tra- velling expenses, which were under £10. The registrar was asked to continue to act as organising secretary of the new college fun-d until the next meeting of the council, to which he was requested to submit a scheme for carrying on the work. Mr. Edward Thomas, Professor Mackenzie, and the registrar were appointed to attend the conference of universities concerning tutorial classes in association with the Workers' Educational Association summoned by the University Extension Delegacy of the University of Oxford.

But the members of the brigade wanted some real pffaotioe. After much persuasion a. young man, deeptfy in love with one of them, was prevailed upon to faJl into the blanket from the top of a barn. The life-savers .'gathered one afternoon, attired in becoming uniform, and twelve gathered round the blanket and took a firm grip. Then the accommodating young man climbed up on the roof of the building, made ready, and jumped. Each girl was gazing upwards, and at the sight of a man falling throcigh the air they were all so shooked that, without thinking, 24 hands went ul) to oz maiuy eyes to shut oust the view. A. surgeon was soon in attendance!

I CARDIFF RAILWAY I We have authority for stating that there is no foundation for the report that the Rhymney Railway Company is negotiating few an agreement to work the Cardiff Rail- way. As we have already pointed out, there are practical difficulties in the way of such an arrangement. The rise in the values of Rhymney Railway stocks is due to the increase in traffic and dividend prospects which the company has enjoyed, despite a decline of trade in the district. This is attri- butable to the recovery by the company of traffic previously handled by them, and which was for a time diverted.

IMiners & Non-Unionists DRASTIC RESOLUTION AT ABERDARE An anti-non-Unionist demonstration was held at the Market-hall, Aberdare, on Wed- nesday night, Mr. W. R. Evans (chairman of the Aberdare District) presiding. Councillor Illtyd Hopkins (secretary to the district) submitted a resolution to the effect that it was regrettable to think that there should be so many non-Unionists at the P.-D. and Cwmaman Pits; that notices in the shape of a protest be given if the defaulters were not to join, and that means be taken in the future to compel all grades of workmen to become full and bona-fide members of the Federation. Mr. George Barker (agent for the Aber- tillery District) supported the resolution. He enumerated the advantages of the Feder- ation, and said that the agreement to be signed next March should contain a clause for payment for small coal and a minimum wage for abnormal places- (Applause.) Mr. C. B. Stanton, who was well received, said he did not know what to do with the non-Unionists. He thought they might send a message to the editor of the Western Mail" and ask him to suggest a remedy. (Laughter.) "Appeal to the conscience!" he said. Why, read the letters signed by 'Employer of Labour,' 'Lover of Liberty,' Ac., in the Western Mail.' All point out the tyranny dealt out by your paid agitators in the ranks of the Federation-all your well- paid, over-paid, and well-fed miners' agents, who live on your backs. These non-Unionists wish to live in your midst peaceably and quietly, and draw that which they had never paid for." Continuing, Mr. Stanton said they were going to proceed further, so far as his district was concerned, and to insist that all who were non-Uniojn men or members of enginemen's or stokers' Unions or any other bodies who received the percentages obtained by the Federation should pay to the Federa- tion. (Cheers.) I put this to the people of the Western Mail' when they run us down," he continued, that we offer those non- Unionists that pay up the entrance fee that they may participate in the benefits and protection of the Federation." The finances of the distriot were not so good as they might be, but he was sure the district would be prepared to do what they had done before to get the non-Unioniste out. Neither the" Western Mail" nor any other paper would ever be able to make a defence on behalf of the non-Unionists. Notices would soon be put in at any colliery in the district where men go down to work so long as non- Unionists were left there. The men would be asked to regard the nan-Unionist as a traitor. "Don't allow them to lodge in your houses," he continued; don't allow them to court your daughters—(laughter) don't allow them to drink out of the same pint. Treat them in the way some good old hauliers did, who refuged to change the trams. Something serious was going to happen to the Western Mail' and all, even if they got the soldiers down." (Loud oheers.) The resolution was carried unanimously.

WHITCHURCH LIGHTING. 'Mr. Robert Forrest presided at the meet- ing of the Ua-ndaff and Dinas Powis District Council on Wednesday, when the Local Government Board wrote sanctioning an application for a loan of XZ,960 to cover the cost of the Whitchurch eleotric lighting scheme, to be re-paid in twenty years. St. Andrew's and Llanishen Parish Councils sent resolutions protesting aga. inst the cost of the scheme being made a district, charge. The Chairman said they had a resolution to proceed with the scheme, and they must proceed unless that was rescinded. The Clerk (Mr. M. Warren) also pointed out that the Local Government Board gave their sanction after hearing the objection of Dinas Powis at the inquiry. MI. D. R. Morgan moved that the matter be deferred. The Chairman, replying to Canon Buckley, explained that the scheme was to take elec- tricity from the South Wales Power Com- pany and to light Whitchurch. St. Andrew's would be liable for a share of any Ices or to gain from any profit made. They had gone too far to withdraw. Mr. E. F. Thomas (Radyr) said the small scheme at Radyr, with only sixteen oon- sumers, had been successful. Six voted for Mr. Morgan's motion to defer the scheme, ten against, and two were neutral.

The values were excellent: to the ton over the first four reet from eight samples; the next two feet lOdwt. from five samples (omittiae ong that went 150z.); for a further depth of 7ft. the shaft is still in reef, averaging 6dwt. 8gr. Driving was started yesterday to develop the reef, and a cross- cut will be driven under the old Roman workings, to intersect other reefs known to exist. I think it is certain that this mine will make a very big stir. We are now below where the Romans worked. You have seen for yourself the mass they took out, and I hope we shall be able to exceed what they did, but we cannot expect this all at onee.

The rev. gentleman, he said, had mad-ù a very grave reflection upon the work of the council, which he thought was entirely un- justified. They were striving honestly to do their duty, and they were making great progress in sanitary matters. Mr. Price had stated that the people in Dowlais were living in the lowest and vilest slums in the whole country, where vice was rampant. If vica was rampant in these slums, was not that the fault of ministers of religion? (Cries of ,0,") The council should be given credit for the progress they had maAie. During the last three or four years they had built 300 or 400 houses to get rid of slums. The Mayor (Mr. Andrew Wilson) said it was quite true that the corpo-ration had done a lot, but they were not doing as much ad they should. Mr. Dan Thomas: Who is this man Peter Price? How long has he been in the district? Mr. T. J. Evans said they ought to be cautious about condemning the rev. gentle, man's statements, for he visited the slums Mr. C. Griffiths: He preaches every Sunday in the middle of them.
