TWO MEDICINES IN ONE I A WONDERFUL TONIC AND LAXA- TIVE FOUND IN A SINGLE PILL. THE GREAT NOVELTY OF KER- I NAK. If you can get two medicines at the cost of one, and if both these medicines do their work better and suit you better than any other medicine of the same class, then you have found something which should never be mining from your medi- cine chest. Thi", ùescripioll applies to Ker-nak, a wonderful natural rtnitdy, in which, by the chemist's skiil, there have been com- bined the qualities of a tonic and a laxa- tive. The tonic is to build up your system -when you feel run down; the laxative is to purify the system when it is congested with impurities as in constipation, indi- gestion, etc. Ker-nak in its concentrated pili form is most natural because it alleviates and checks diswse-not by artificial and dras- tic purging, as do so many old-fashioned pills, but in a way that is SOOTHING AND NATURAL. I Ker-nak is unique as regards both its origin and its soothing beneficial action. Each dose brijigs unmistakable impro ment in the bodily health. The ruost ob- stinate and long-standing symptoms cf liver, stomach and blood troubles canrut resist the potent rectifying influence stored up in the small compass of a Ker- nak pill. Old-fashioned piUs and nauseous purga- tives are so thoroughly superseded by this invaluable remedy, that it is being readily adopted into thousands of homes as Ih) family's FAVOURITE PRESCRIPTION. As a general Spring tonic and correc- tive Ker-nak is ideal. Besides punf'. ig and enriching the blood, ;t tones up and strengthens the iun oov. n system, and is always to be depended upon to speedily dispel indigestion, dizzi- nefjS, c0115tipation, bilious attacks, head ache, Spring debility, blood impurities and other prevalent liver and stomach disorders. Ker-nak Pills are obtainable of all Chemists and Drug Stores, or from The Ker-nak Natural Remedy, Ltd.. Jowitt- lane, Leeds, at Is 3d or 3" a box.

THE CHURCH IN WALES. I QUESTION OF A WELSH PROVINCE. I Tile Veli. Archdeacon Lloyd (Vicar cl Rbjl) concluded his archdeaconal visita- tion on Saturday at St Asaph, where ne is now doing duty as canon-in-rei-idence, and in the course of his address he dealt w I t-ti the interesting suggestion of the formation of a Welsh ecclesiastical province. this matter was mentioned at the recent meet- ings at Rhyl of the Governing Body of the Church in Wales, and was referred to a special meeting of that body to be held next month at Llandriudod Wells. At present, aid the Archdeacon, they had the two provinces of Canterbury nl York, and the four Welsh dioceses nad formed a part of Catiterbui-y iiirie-e the thir- teenth century. Bishop Stubbs said that the Welsh Cathedral Chapters anct clergy sent proctors to the convocation of Canter- bury two and a half centuries before the Welsh counties sent representatives to ihe Hou-e of Commons. The Welsh onurch Act ordered that from the date of disestab- lishment the Bishops and clergy of the Church in Wales should cease to be mem- bers of or to be represented in Houses of Convocation of the Province of Canter- bury. It was a tyrannical and altogether unjustifiable lIe of the secular power to interfere in that way with the constitution of the most ancient ccclesiastic.al body in the land, and there were many stalwart Churchmen prepared to withstand it to -he utmost. When the Welsh Church Act was passed there was a strong feeling in tavour of remaining in organic union with Canter- bury provided; the Welsh dioceses could continue on a footing of complete equality with the rest of the province. The very idea of dismemberment was hateful to Churchmen. But in the process of form- iiiR: a constitution for the Church in Wales under the new conditions the conviction had been forced upon many of th ose "test qualilied, to form a judgment that it would prove highly inconvenient, if not entirely impossible, to go on indefinitely without becoming a separate province. They would not be able to move in any direction vitb, out the sanction of Canterbury, and ex- perts warned them that they would reah a state of chaos. That was the practical side. There was also a sentimental iio of the question which all wou'd understand end appreciate. Many felt that even if there were no constructive and administrative (ifficultie. frtill it would be wise and politic that \hv should have a province. They would re main perfectly loyal to Canterbury—as foyal as ..he Churchmen in the Province oi York were to-day—while they would vel- eome a Church organisation complete in itself, with the fullest possible powers of self-government, with its own province of Wales, and, it might be, its own arch- bishop- It was an ideal which appealed with considerable force to many Welsh Churchmen, and it would have to be con- sidered and determined in the near future.

They object to Sunday labour, such as provid- ing refreshments on Sunday for visitors who come to a town for the day, and object to coaching on Sunday.

On one occasion, when the court room was not in use, I happened to be there writing, but my presence was not noticed because of a taige curtain behind which the table was placed. Suddenly I heard Megan einging in the house adjoining, and toon she came into the court room, and after a good took round that no one was about tihe had "a full drese rehearsal" all to her- self, never imagining for tt moment that a naughty reporter was hiding behind :t curtain seeing, hearing and enjoying it all i I saw even then that s he had not only histrionic ability but a very fine 'OIC'. and I decided to do all I could to help her to do the best use she could of her fine gifte.

CARNARVONSHIRE MEDICAL OFFICERS OF HEALTH. I SALARIES INCREASED. A meeting of the Carnarvonshire Joint Sanitary Authority was held at Carnar- von yesterday (Thursday), under the pre- sidency of Dr. Parry (the Mayor of Car- narvon), for the purpose of dealing with the future position and salarier, of trot medical officers of health. An application had been received fr, m Dr. Travis, the medical officer for the northern end of the county, that. the com- mittee should consider the curtailment of has district as a temporary anran-gemmt. The reason whidh he advanced was that travelling difficulties were inconveniemt, and there was much loss of time involved in attending the Aetliwy and Ooven ruiral districts. H, however, could ari-arige to medically inspect the Llandudno and Con- way schools, and probably others. The Chairman explained that a com- mittee which had discussed the application earlier in the day unanimously rec-om- mended that it be not entertained. The recomtruction of the district would pro- bably not be allowed by the Local Govern- ment, Beard, and what seemed inexplicable to the committee was that Dr. Travis, while asking for a curtailment of his dis- trict, should offer to do other work. It was also the opinion of the committee that henceforward the medical officers should devote their whole time to the service of the Sanitary Authority. Asked if he had any further statement to make on the matter, Dr. Travis eaid that he fully realised that his application was out of order, and in view of the opin- ion of t ie comniitteehe was quite agree- able to do any work that might be allotted Owen's salary from the authority iva3 The O.iairman added that as individuals the committeo were quite prepared to meet Dr. Travis' wishes, but there were difficulties which murt be met. Dr. Travis: I am quite agreeable. Consideration was then given to a com- munication received from the British Medical Association urging all advance of 33 per cent, in the salaries of Dr. Travis and DT. Uoyd Owen on the pre-wa,r basis. Resolutions to the same effect were read from the South Carnarvonshire and Merionethshire branch of the same Association, as well as from two or three District Councils. At the request of the authority the two medical men had furnished statements showing their income and expenditure. Dr. Travis's salary from the Joint Sanitary Authority was £ 434, in audition to which he received various suim amounting in the aggregate to L96 in respect of minor appointment.s which he holds with the consent of the Joint Authority. He put down his expenses at £ 257 10s, whidh in- ciudcd R91 in re-sp-eet of a clerk. Dr. Owen's salary f loui the authority was £486, and during the period of the war he received an additional sum for infant welt are work. etc. He put down his expenses at £ 169 10s. I COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION I The Chairman said that the recom- mendation of the committee which had &a.t upon the applications was that a salary of £ 650 be offered to each of the medical men, inclusive of everything, except what the law might allow them. He assoimed that under the new medical arrangements 01 the County Council the E102 extra paid to Dr. Owen would be discontinued. Mr J. D. Jones pointed out that the un f o.rt.una.t.e connecte d with nxing uniortunate fact connected with fixing the salaries of both medic-ai office re at the sanip figure was that Dr. Travis would stiii rece.ve £ 95 more than Dr. Owen by rca<son of his outside appointments. The Rev. William Morgan formally moved that Drs. Travis and Owen be ap- pointed at a salary of £ 660 each, it being a coudition that they should devote their WI,lole time to the work of the authority. After some d'.ecussion the motion was carried. The Chairman remar ked that no doubt if the County Council made an application in respect of medical services for child weLfare work the authority would glve fin-it consideration to Dr. Owen, but for the present he must return to his duties as public health oiffcer. Dr. W. G. Pritchard moved that tihe payment of the salaries be retrosipeotive to last July. As an amendment Mr J. D. Jorieo moved tha-t the salaries should come into force next July. At his end of the county at any rate many of thooo who would be called to pay this increase were poor widows and spinsters. The amend- ment was parried.

BARMOUTH- I Barmouth Urban Council on Saturday directed its Clerk, Mr William George, to send a strong protest to the Prime Min- ister against holding the peace celebrations during August Bank Holiday week. The Council were of opinion that visitors stay- ing at health resorts would rather celebrate peace at their respective towns than during their holidays.

MEETING OF CARNARVON I CHURCHPEOPLE. FINANCIAL PROBLEMS DISCUSSED I I SAFEGUARDING THE CLERGY'S I INTERESTS. A crowded meeting of the Churchpeople of Carnarvon wag held at the Assembly Rooms on Monday for the purpose main- ly of discussing the financial position of the Church. The Vicar trov. J. Morgan), who pre- sided said the Church was one in the parish although they worshipped in four separate churches, and it was hoped that that meeting would be the means of strengthening the unity among Church- men. At the last Easter Vestry he asked those present to resolve themselves into a meeting of Churchpeople with the object of appointing an advisory commit- tee, and as the result of that meeting twelve of those present met, and it was decided to call a meeting of all Church- people for that night. It waa suggested that a temporary council should be elected for the purpose of organising for the future, and the permanent council might be appointed- later on. Not only were matters such as the heating and lighting of the churches to be attended to, but it should be their duty to see that the work of the Church in the dio- cesc as well as in the parish was extended. It was expected that a sum of at least JB50 would be asked for from the parish by the Board of Finance of the diocese. It would be the duty of the temporary council to prepare the constitution and rules of the permanent council and sub- mit. them to the Churehjwople, of the parish. Attention should also be paid to the turch day schools. They would be verv sorry indeed if the day ever came when the,, lost these schools, and they should do everything in their power to save them. He wished also Churchpeople to have more interest, in the Sunday Schools, and he thought it would be far better to have two Sunday Schools—one Welsh and one English—instead of six as at present. Six schools could not be carried on with oniv tvko clergy. The fabric of the churches also should be attended to. and some improvements would require to be done at each of the four churches. An- other matter which should be considered was the question of the extension of the churchyard at Llanbcblig, and if that was agreed to it was doubtful whether the burial fees would not have to be raised. The question of re-starting the parish magazine had also been brought, to his notice He suggested that it was a mat- ter which might well be taken up by busin-iFis people, and the magazine might be run as a business success. He would like to have such matters considered by the temporary council. He mentioned the matter at the Vestry, and it was suggested that he should lay the whole facts before the Churchpeople at that meeting, and he felt that now was the time to put their house in order, and the object of appointing a temporary council was to consider any suggestions with that object in view (applause. FINANCIAL POSITION. I Mr R. Newton said that when the financial position of the parish was ex- plained to those present at the meeting of the advisory committee it staggered them, and they felt that something must be done. What had happened to bring a bout the state of affairs ? Probably one of the chief rea&one was the decrease in the population of the town, and it was said that the population had decreased during the last 30 years by about three thousand. The Church had also lost good sii r)portei-3 by removals and by deaths. Workmen everywhere were demanding more wages, and in Carnarvon the Cor- poration workmen had been given two or three increaE-ea. Then they came again merrily and asked for another ad vaiue (laughter). But the clergy had no chance to strike for adnmec in their stipends (laughter), and the Vestry hav ing been informed of the position decided to place the whole facts before that meet- ing They were fortunate that the churches a.1 a whole were in a fairly good condition, but some improvements were needed. It was, however, a gratifying fact that all the churches in the parish wore free from debt (applause). It be- hoved all Churchpeople to ;.rIve better support to the Sunday collections. Mr Newton referred to the reduction in the pew rente of Christ Church, and said that church, which used to be the strongest church financially, had now become :t burden on the parish, and it behoved the worshippera to see in future that the church would be a financial help to the parish. They should endeavour to get tho-e vvho attended to take pcws. and ill- stead of the pew rents Vicing about f10) they should be double that amount. Pro- bably the Di-.establishment, Act would help thi-r, to revive the Church, and if they all did their bc-t they need not worrv about i6 future in the parish (applause). THE DUTY OF CHURCHPEOPLE. I Mr J. Roberts Williams said that as a member of the advisory committee ap- pointed after the Vestry he had been asked to speak in Welsh. He said that the meeting h:'d been called to disc-lose to the Churchpeople the present, financial position of the Church in the parish, more especially as to the stipends of the clergy. He gave .letails of the amounts received by the clergy, and asked the meeting to seriously consider what those figures meant at thig time of high cost of living. There was no doubt, he said, that much of the indifference that prevailed among Charchpeople was due to the fact that they had had their religion too cheap (hear, hear). It was tune they awakened and realised that it was their duty to support the Church financially. They used to give testimonials to curates on their departure, and that had taken place fre- quently during recent years. It would be much better if Churchpeople gave what they contributed to testimonials to- ward.3 increasing the stipends while they served in the parish (applause). He hoped that the result of that meeting would be to start a fund for he purpose of increasing the t;tipelld" to which all would contribute according to their means —rich and poor. This fund should have the first call on their pockcte. They had been complaining that they were not hav- ing a voice in the Church administra- tion. He thought nmtterø were changing rapidly in that resrect. They had a new Vii-ar who was working hard (applause) ,if d who was anxious to give the Church- people as much voice as possible. They had heard of the proposed roll of Church- people for the purpose of electing a parochial councl He thought the best voice they could have was by contribut- ing to this fund, 361 it would lead them to take more interest in Church work when they had a isbare in the ifnances. It was not a matter for the influential Churchpeople and officials of the Church, but for all of them, and that was why he took pait in that meeting as one from the floor of the Church who was not a sidesman or an official of any kind. He hoped that there would be a strong com- mittee appointed to see that the proper use was made of the money contributed. He appealed to them to do their duty in this matter, and he wa? full of hope that the Church in Carnarvon would thrive and be a power (applause). The Lord Lieutenant (Mr J. Ernest Greaves) said that no one after hearing the facta placed before them that even- izig could fail t.) reali,n thtt the finfinces of the Church in the parish were alto- gether inadequate and made it difficult for the Church to discharge its impor- tant- and onerous duties. The problem of the financing of the Church must be solved not only in the parish of Llan- b' blify, but almost in every parish in the Principality, and he had every confidence that the result would be most encourag-

f — —: MERIONETH FISHERY BOARD. I QUESTION OF NETTING. At a meeting of the Merionethshire Fishery Board at Barmouth on Wednes- day all applieation was received from the Abordovey fishermen and others for the removal of the prohibition of netting in Dovey River. Lord Herbert Vane-Tempest said the Dovey Club were the levees of the river from Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn. Captain Hilton Kershaw said the fisher- men only asked what was reasonable. At present the river, which was the best n the district for galmon, was closed to fish- ermen, and that resulted in widespread poaching. It was high time fishermen should have the Eame treatment as mem- bers of the Dovey Club. Dr. John Jonoe, of Dolgelley, said fisher- men had suffered great injustice by being debarred from netting. Tidal and navi- gable waters were public property, and it was the duty of riparian owners to pro- duaa the; dtad" or charters of ri vers claimed by them- Mr E. L. Rowlands, of Aberdovey, said there were sixty discharged soldiers unem- ployed, and they could earn a living oy fishing. A majority were in favour of granting the appe-al, and a committee was appoint- ed to hold a full inquiry.

Besides soothing the child's itching and inflammation, Zam-Buk not- ed out the disease. The sores dried up and were replaced by new healthy -kin.

I MERIONETHSHIRE NEWS. I BLAENAU FESTINIOG. I At the meeting of the Festiniog District School Managers Mr Joseph Ilumpnreys, Penrhyndeudracth, vice-chairman of ille Merioneth County Council, was elected chairman, and Mr G. G. Davies, Glany pwll Villa, vice-chairman.

ing and satisfactory to the Church in Wales both in a temporal and spiritual scii.-e (applause). He suggested as the beat scheme for their consideration the lais, iig of a capital 6ciii of about £ 2000, and they lnigtil aii equivalent grant from the Ecclesiastical Commission- era The intere/st on that sum would amount to about £ 160 per annum, \\hich would to some extent help the finances of the parish. That eheilie, in his opin- ion, would be much better than if they went, round with a hut to collect for the curates' eliiiend. SU ST EN T ATI ON FUND SUGGESTED Mr C. Crebbin thought the Church should have a clergy suqoiitation fund. The Nonconformists had such a fund, and it wae not right that the Vicar should contribute from his own pocket towards the fctipends of his assistant clergy. If such a fund were formed the Church members would be afforded an oploortu- nity to contribute voluntarily to it. They should also get a fund for the assistance of the poor of the parish; no such fund existed at present. Alderman John Prichard said there was reason to believe that as the result of that meeting they would see a reauscita- tion of the old Church in Carnarvon. They need not worry, because their fore- fathers had been through troublous times before them. The late Vicar had worked quietly and everybody knew how well. Nobody knew the amount of work lie had done, and he had left the churches in the parishes in an excellent state of pre- servation, and they were free from debt (hear, hear). Mr Newton then moved that the meet- ing was of opinion that a sustentation fund be immediately started, and that a committee be appointed, to be known as a temporary council, to take the matter in hand. Mr John Hughee seconded and sug- gested that the treasurer of each church be elected a member of the committee. The resolution was carried unanimou-Iy. A committee of twelve, as follows, was appointed :-The Vicar, the wardens and treasurers, together with the following: Mrs Finchett, Alhddoek, Miss Parry (In- fants' School), Mrs Nicholas, Messrs W. Bowen Jones, J. P. Gregory, J. Roberts Williams, T. E. Griffith, J. Williams (soli- citor), and Mr Wm. Owen (N.P. Bank) was appointed general treasurer).
