If you're resting in a safe place there is no Gfled to worry; if you're exposed to dynger either you're wounded or you're not wounded. If you're not wounded there is no need to worry; if you are wound- ed, either you're wounded seriously or you're wounded slightly. If you're wounded slightly there is no need to worry; if you're wounded seriously cither you re- cover or you die. If you recover there is no need to worry; if yon die you can't worry."

EMPIRE GUILD OF TEACHERS. ANNUAL MEETING OF ANGLESEY BRANCH. The Anglesey branch of the Empire Guild of Teach- ers (Y.W.C.A.) held their annual meeting at the Y.M.C.A., Bangor, last Saturday. Miss VaYies, Treborth, presided over about GO mem- bers. Canon Lonsdale Hagg, of the Bangor Church Hostel, delivered an address, in which he dwelt on the need of unity and diversity in the teaching of the future. Germany, lie said, provided an examplo of uniformity without diversity. They, uniformly, from tho universities down to the elementary schools, pois- oned the educational channels of their country, with what fruits of hatred and frightfulness the present war disclosed. Teachers could unite in repentance, in earn- est adherence to the principles tearnt of Christ— earnestness, conscientiousness, sympathy, tenderness, in their dealing with the young, and they could en- rich and benefit them best by loyal adherence to their own religious beliefs, whether Church of England, Wesleyan, or any other denomination. From person- al conviction adhered to by prayerful communion with God would now out an atmosphere which would win the children. A teacher living up to the highest she knew would bo ootnid direclly or indirectly to per- meate her teaching with her very best, and in sucn efforts lay the hope of the education of the future. Reports of work done during the year in each circle A,,ere also gii-eii.

WHAT OF YOUR HEALTH THIS AUTUMN? WHY YOU SHOULD COMMENCE TAKING PHOSPHATE NOW. This autumn is g-oing to prove a trying time to many people. Holidays have been curtailed or postponed altogether; work has been harder, and w.vry and anxiety greater than over before. In consequence the health of the majority must suffer as the weather changes unless the system is fortified, strength increased, and health improved, so that weather ohanges and increased mental and physical strain can be confidently met and fought against, and attacks of sickness and disease re- pelled. Drugging; will not help the man or woman who is feeling- wea.k, run down and out of sorts, but J. Bowen, 153, Iligh-street, M. Ro- berts and Co., 301, Iligh-street, and many other high-class chemists are now able to supply a pro- duct known as Intro-phosphate, and if this is re- gularly taken there need bo no fear of either mental or physical breakdown. The reason for this is that bitro-phosphate is a pure, natural food for the nerves which is assimilated readily a.nd almost instantly transformed into vital nervous energy. Chemists supply bitro-phosphate in the form of 5-gr. compressed tablets, and flasks containing sufficienit tablets for two weeks' con- tinuous treatment cost about 2s 6d, so that it is by no means expensive.

CHARGE AGAINST A RAILWAY PORTER. At a special Police Court, on Friday morning, before Mr Lewis Hughes (in tho ohair), Dr. Tho- mas Jones, and Captain Robert Joins, the Lon- don and North-Western Raihvay Cohipaiiy pre- ferred a charge of larceny by finding against T. Phillips Roberts, a porter-signalman at t.he local station, and a native of Clyn-nog, Carnarvon- shire. Mr T. R. Evans, Holyhead, prosecuted on behalf of the. railway company, and Mr S. Lyeett Lewis, Amlwch, defended. Mr T. G. Roberts, Glasfryn Farm, Bull Bay, stated that on the 21st August last 'ho went to the railway station to fetch a oulf. At. the time he wore a gold watoh and chain, gold locket, and gold-centre medal. The foUowing day lie missed the inquiries at the railway and police stations. He wrote three notices de- scribing the lost jewellery a.nd these were ex- hibited in the town. Sergeant Owen said he found the defendant wearing the gold chain, and when charged he confessed having found the articles on the rail- way platform. Ho went to Clynnog to fetch the gold watoh and locket, and handed them to the police. Mr Davies, stitioiimast-or, stated that when called to the office, accused told him that he (the defendant) had been a fool, that he knew not what possessed him to do suoh a thing, that he found the articles on the platform, and should have taken them immediately to the office. He regretted the delay in notifying the finding of the articles, a.s he felt that he was open to be sus- pended from duties for such a breach of regula- tions. In reply to Mr Lewis, Mr Davies stated that in aocordanoo with the rules of the railway com- pany, all ai'tides of jewellery or money found should be immediately reported to the office, and the articles sent to Chester without delay. The Defendant pleaded not guilty, stating that his first impulse was to take the articles to the office. As lie delayed and knew the conse- quences he kept them until interrogated by the sergeant of polioe. Mr T. R. Evans suggested the watch and I medal ware taken to "t"t they were t'he only articles tha.t could be easily identified. De- fendant admitted that he bad seen a description of the lost articles at a local! shop, and Mr Evans maintained that the fact that he had kept them proved his guilt. Mr Lewis argued that guilty latent must bo pnoved to maintain the charge of larceny, and re ferred to the faot that fnany believed that "findiaig rnpans keeping." It was fear of dis- missal from service and not intention to S'feal the articles that brought the acbused to his present pC1ISition. The Chairman, after oomplimenting Mr S. Lyoett Lewis and Sergeant Owen, for their con- duiot of the case, said defendant was an intellir gemit man, holding a responsible position, and in tho service of a company which dealt with huge property. The Bench found him guilty, and as this was his first offenoe they had decided to imflujt a fine of JB5 or one month's imprisonment. Defendant was allowed time to pay the fine.

I- At the Carnarvonshire Appeal Tribunal at Bangor, on Monday, Messrs Dunphy, grocers, Llandudno, claimed exemption far Edward Wil- lia,ms (35), the manager of their branch shop in Station-road, Llanfairfechan. It was contended tha.t applicant was quite indispensable as man- ager. All the branches were under-staffed, and the firm had no one they could send to Llanfair- fechan. The only assistant Williams had was his wife and a youth. The shop wa.3 doing good business, showing it was neoessaxy in the neigh- bourhood. The Looal Tribunal, who granted exemption unM September 30th, were of opinion that the shop could be carried on by a rejected man with the assistance of the present manager's wife. Similar businesses in the town were carried on in a similar way. The Applicant, however, &-Lid that his wife could not undertake sudi a responsibility, and if he went the shop would probably have to be closed, and his wife and child would have to leave the rooms above the shop. The Chairman: If this man goes will you turn these people out o^ the room? A Representative of the firm: I do not say that the wife and child would be turned out into the street, but I should have to close the shop up. The Chairman: That is a different thing. A Representative of the firm said they had five shops, a.nd had contracts to supply the troops at Llandudno and Conway. They had eight women employed at Llandudno and one at Con- wav. The Chairman: Could the youth and Mrs Wil- liams conduct this branch? The Representative: They could not possibly do it use there was such a lot of heavy work. You could not expect a woman or a boy to tackle a sack of flour or a. side of bacon. The Applicant sa.id he expected every day to hear that tho youth at the shop would be called up for a second medical examination. Applicant had only paMed Bl, and he did not think ho oould stand garrison duty abroad, as he was not strong. No exemption allowed, applicant not to be called up until November 30th. Rowland J. Hughes, architect and surveyor, Breton Villa, appealed against the decision of the Looal Tribunal in granting him exemption only until September 30th. The oase was heard privately.—No exemption was granted, applicant not to be called up until December 15th.
