"Llangollen "Town Hall. I A NOTEWORTHY-EXPERIMENT. I At the meet'ng of the Llangollen Urban Council I t%x.. H. Birch presiding), minutes of the General I Purpose Committee having been read by the Chair- man, Mr. Arthur Edwards, proposed that they be ¡ confirmed expect the portion relating to the letting of the Town Hall to the Advertising Committee. This having been agreed to, Mr. Arthur Edwards 'I proposed that the application of tho Committee be not granted, and that the rent be raised, to £60, He wished to remind the Council that the Town Hall I wu the only public room in the town, and it should not be monopolised by one association. Mr. Edwards I a? quoted figures to show the returns reœved from ?h? Town Hall in past years.—Mr. A. J. Price said that he would ISc? to say a few words in reply to 1 thte, The Town AdvertisH? Committee had expended &p'tal Account about £ 100, and the rent paid to the Council was JE30 nett. They paid for the light- ing and cleaning in addition. The hire fee of the Town Hall to residents is 21s. including light, the nett feee being about 12s. cd.. £ 30 is therefore equal to one night's booking weekly at one guinea. Also, dESO has already been paid towards seating im- provement in the hall, making je60 in all, JE30 directly and dMO indirectly. Further, the purchase of the Victoria Path Garden site for jC250 was equal to a Id, rate, and this will become the ratepayers property. It was also important to remember that the splendid tacoess of this undertaking was only made possible ¡ by the self-sacrificing labour of all eoiiuected with it, for the work was practically all honorary. If all the labour necessary to run the Cinema was paid for on a private, eyndicate, basis, the major portion of the first year's profits would have been absorbed in salaries. After further consideration it was decided to re-let the Town Hall to the Committee at the old teams.

( Mr. John Hodges urges discharged soldiers to train for future employment. He says at present labour is so scarce that men can ob- tain jobs easily and often drift into blind-alley occupations. On demobilisation the ordinary employer will want a physically fit man in- stead of a. disabled man, and the disabled man must make himself a skilled craftsman in afcrder to have an equal chance with the others.

He said that., despite the great difficulties placed in their way by war ten ditions, the output had never been so great, activities having been exercised in many 'Jew directions to meet exceptional condition?. The ever growing cost of paper-which had gone up from 2d., to Is. 6d. per lb.-and the additions to their priming bifi necessitated by increasing wages which, in some cases, bad risen by 100%, indicated some of the di&cui- ties they had to face. These, however, as he had indicated, had not arrested the good work. He alluded to what the Society had accomplished to meet growing needs for in- creased publications, in different languages and dialects at the front, and made an earn- est appeal to the congregation for a corres- ponding increase in the liberality of their offering.—Special sermons were preached hy the Rev. W. R. Bowman at Christ Church, the English Baptist and the, English Weaieyan Churches; and the annual meeting was held in Christ Church Assembly Rooms on Monday evening, at which the Mayor (Councillor Jas.

Jackson, and the officers were elected for the ensuing year on the proposal of Mr. T. Little (a former foreign missionary), sc conded by the Rev. W.

'My Seven Best Years.' In 1910, Mrs. A. L. Fry of Ashmore, near Salisbury, became seriously ill through kidney and bladder weakness following a confinement, and for six months lay actually helpless. 1 In describing her case. Mrs. Fry said:— Suffocating dropsy set in. and I was swollen to an enormous eize from head to foot, even mv features. Kidney and bladder disorders, dizzi. J ne&s, heart palpitation, nerv'Oumeu and back- I ache were well nigh unbearable. I quite lost hope. Everything that skill and kindly attention could suggest was anxiously attempted, but at the end of it all, tibere seemed no brighter pros- pect than to linger as an invalid and cripple. At. this late stage a friend urged me to try Do arts' Backache Kidney Pills. I gladly did so. and to my joy, the urinary system was helped at once. The dropsical swellings began gradu- ally- to subside until I became of norynal size again. My back was relieved, and. to the astonishment of all. I soon got up and out of doors. I honestly believe Doan'^ Pi fig saved, my life. I am better now than ever before and have no symptom of kidney trouble whatsoever. (Signed) A. I., Fry." Seven Years Good Health.
