I NATION AND THE CHILD. I A CESTRIAN'S SCHEME. I A TALL ORDER. The fcubjcct before the Newtown Smoking Parliament on Monday night wa.s "The Nation and the Child," which was opened by Mr. Randall Roberts. Mr. G. T. Lodge occupied tjie chair. Mr. Roberts said the child was the nation's greatest asset. With the child of the well-to-do man he would not deal, but with the child of the worker, who started life's bat- tle handicapped by circumstances tending rather to stultify than to develop. He wanted to arouse workingmen to demand that a fair portion of the enormous national wealth, which they produced, should be devoted to the educa- tion and maintenance of the children. Mr. Roberts then laid down what he considered was the duty of the State to the child. It began be- fore birth by preventing married women from being employed in factories. Dr. Reid, medical officer of health for the county of Staf- ford, shewed clearly that infant mortality was I enormously increased by the employment of married women. The damage done could not be estimated by the mortality figures entire- ly, beoause no account could be taken of the impaired vitality of the ohildren, who survived. It was a shame that in this, the wealthiest ooun- try in the world, men should be able to earn so littlo that their wives must perforce take on themselves the duty of both mother and bread-winner. After pointing out that the Regktrar-General'e returns shewed that 20 per cent. of the deaths in England and Wales were of infants under one year old, and 30 per cent. were of children under five, he said that if workingmen would only look at those things in their own interest-, they would with one voice demand that the reckless sacrificing of their children's lives should cea-se. After pointiiig, out the importance of the feeding of children by their mothers, Mr. Roberts advocated that where this was impossible the only alternative should be a free municipal infants' milk depot, under medical supervision. lIe mentioned that the Town Council were beginning, to recognise that something must be done to arrest that terrible waste of human life, by the appoint- ment of an experienced woman inspector for three months of the year. He (Mr. Roberts) thought the appointment should be made per- manent for the whole year. Another source of danger was overcrowding, to cope with which there should be an extension of municipal housing, and it should be made illegal for an infant to sleep in the same bed as adults. He was in favour of public nurseries, under proper- ly qualified matrons, for the use of mothers whose circumstances compelled them to be breadwinners. In following the career of the child, Mr. Roberto's next step was to advocate that every school should have a dining-room, a gymnasium, and a swimming bath. lie de- sired to see uuiveisal gymnastic training- for the improvement cf national physique. Ohil- dren should havo two good meals a.t school daily, at breakfast and dinner-time, so that they might be in a fit condition to receive their mental training. lie would supply clothes for children whose parents were tco poor, and he would establish infirmary schools, to which en- trance should be by medical certificate. The present system of mass teaching must be re- placed by one which would allow of individual attention. On the financial question, ho said that taking t-he nmtional expenditure, 91 mil- lions were devoted to wholly unproductive pur- pfeff, such as the Army, the Navy. Royalty, and the so-called national debt, while only 48 millions were spent on the government of the country. He claimed that the working classes contributed 9 per cent. of their inoome to the national revenue, while the wealthy classes con- tributed only five per cent., and asked whether it was necessary to say where the money should come from. The Sheriff (Mr. R. H. Lanceley) said Mr. Roberts was not a mere dreamer. He did not desire to relieve parents of their responsibility, but where they failed either from inability or sheer neglect then the nation, in its own in- terests and for its own self-protection and pro- gress, must see that no child should lack for food or clothes, or be allowed to grow up ig- norant or ill-developed. For the lazy, improvi- dent, drunken and vicious class, Mr. Roberts had no sympathy, and would have the nation deal with these classes in such ways as would reform them if possible, but in every case en- force such productive labour as would be found necessary for their sustenance and support. The child life of the nation must be guarded even in its pre-natal condition, and if the nation was to be improved in the physioal and intellectual quality of its people, the children must be born into such conditions as would contribute to the development of a, lipalthy phy- sical, mental and moral nature. Mr. Lanceley contended that the cause of most of the nation a difficulty was the unequal distribution of wealth, the direct product of labour, and argued that if a more equitable distribution was so- cured it would contribute to the true progress, development, and stability of the nation.

CHESTER FARMERSCLUB. A ANNUAL MEETING. I The annual general meeting of the Chester Farmers' Club waa held on Saturday at the Hop-pole Hotel, Chester, Mr. Leww Dodd {lhe retiring chairman) presiding over a large attend- ance.—At the outset a resolution of sympathy was passed with the widow and family of the late Mr T. L. Dodd.—The Secretary (Mr. R. S. Linnell) presented the 26th annual report, in which he stated: Your committee is pleased to report that since the last balance-sheet was presented the club ie on a slightly stronger financial basis; eleven new members have been enrolled, five members have resigned, and death haa removed one member in the person of Mr. John Ball, of Shotwick. Ten general meetings have been held during the year, and seven com- mittee meetings, in addition to sub-committee meetings. Resolutions have been paeaed on the following subjectsSwine fever regulations, Land Tenure Bill, feeding stuff". Fertilizers Act, Disease of Animals Bill, glanders. Education Bill, milk standard, milk sellers' liability, Slaughter House Bill, motor car nuisance, local taxation, and Army Meat oontracts. The Foal Show was held in the Linen Hall, Watergate- street, on September 22nd, and although not financially a success was voted above the average a& regards the class of exhibits, and quite up to standard taking matters all round. The balance of the hire of "Lymm Harold," 1905, is now paid to Earl Egerton of Tatton. Although funds did not admit of going to the expense of hiring a shire stallion for 1906, the club ap- approached the Hon. Earl Egerton of Tatton and procured his young shire stallion, "Hendre Prince William," to represent the club in the district, where he is believed to have done well. The entire horse parade was held in the Gros- venor Paddock in March, and it is hoped that this useful annual gathering, where many good judges and others on the look out for a suitable horse come together, will still continue to be patronised as in the past. The cash statement for the year shews that the balance of hire of "Lymm Harold" has been paid to Earl Egerton, and other outstanding liabilities have also been paid, amounting to about £ 25. Tho amount now owing by the club is £51. 19s. 3d. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. S. Horton (Manley), the report was adopted. Mr. J. Beecroft submitted his annual report as delegate to the Central and Associated Chambers of Agriculture. He stated that during the year seven meetings of the Central Chamber had been held in London, five of which he had attended at the request of the club, and two others non-officially. He had also attended on two deputations before the Minister of Agri- culture (Lord Carrington), on the questions of cattle diseases and the importation of American live cattle, aa well as several of the committee meetings in connection with the Central and Associated Chambers. After referring to the increased strength of the Central Chamber, Mr. Beecroft said the following BlIL3 in Parliament had been dealt with during the year by the Chamber, as affecting agriculture:—Fertilizers and Feeding Stuffs Bill, the Dogs Bill, the Pure Beer Bill, the Land Tenure Bill and the Agri- cultural Holdings Bill. The following subjects had also been fully discussed at the various meet- ings:-Local taxation, the adulteration of butter, the sale of miJk regulations, the diseases of animals, preferential railway rates, the Railway Contracts Bill, rural building bye-laws, etc. iieeoliition* had been paased and forwarded to the Minister of the Government in the various departments connected with the same. He was sorry to say that, from the figures taken from the Central Chamber's annual report,, it appeared swine fever shewed an increase for the 47 weeks ending 24th November last, the number being 1,095, as against 725 for the corresponding period in 1905. Sheep scab. he was pleat«ed to say, had decreased by nearly one half. which shewed un- I doubtedly the good that. compulsory dipping had done, and he believed that if the Board of Agri- I culture would only strengthen their regulations I as urged upon them by the deputation from the council of the Central Chamber, this dreaded and troublesome disease would be stamped out. The disease of glanders in horses, although on the decrease in London, was on the increase in the country districts, an cilia trusted that tho views of the deputation already referred to. which strongly urged the necessity of the Gov- ernment through the Treasury to fund the President of the Board of Agriculture at no very distant date the amount of money necessary to deal with this terrible dioeaec, whioh was not I only such a dreadful one among horses, but was I' contagious to the human being, would be car- ried out. In conclusion, he hoped, and indeed knew, that it was the wish of the members that the Board of Agriculture would never allow any alteration in the restrictions imposed against the importation of live stock into this country. This was strongly laid before Lord Carrington by one of the largest deputations ever organised by the Central Chamber. Ho also hoped that the Chamber would be able to bring about some further improvement in the present system of selling and consigning of milk and the line of prosecution adopted at the present time when milk was found to be below the standard.-The report was adopted. The Chairman thanked the members for the oouitesy extended to him during his term of office, and proposed the election of Mr. Samuel Horton (Manley Hall) as his successor.—Mr. J. Beecroft seconded, and the resolution was unani- mously.oarried.-The new president, in taking the chair, expressed the hope that politics would bo excluded from the debates of the olub. (Hear, heaft) The introduction of politics to their dis- cussions had nearly ruined the club in the past. If they oould only keep out party differences he thought the club would prosper. He moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Lewis Dodd for the able manner in which he had filled the office l of chairman for two years.—Mr. A. S. Gaskell seconded, and the resolution was heartily car- ried. Messrs. Peter Allen and Wilfred Carter were elected senior and junior vioc-presidents reI- spectively. The following committee was ap- poin:ted: -Messrs. Lewis Dodd, M. Kennedy, A. S. Gaskell, W. Allen, A. Sherwin, J. Bc-eroft., W. II. Nightingale, G. Smith, W. Fryer, T. Dutton. R. Jones, E. Brassey, A. Llovd" R. E. Evans and T. OkelJ. The re-election of Mr. J. Beeoroft as delegate to the Central Chamber was proposed. Air. Utooll, while appreciating the able manner in which Mr. Beecroft. had served tlil, club in that, capacity, thought the office of delegate should go round the olub. lie moved the elec- tion of Mr. Low is Dodd. Mr. Henry Dodd warmly eulogised the ser- vices rendered to the club by Mr. Beecroft for a number of years, and supported his ne-olection. A vote by ballot resulted in tlie re-election of Mr. Beecroft by 21 votes to 17. Mr. Low is Dodd reported that a deputation oompoaed of himself, Mr. P. Allen and Mr. Ast- bury had visited the Duke. of Westminster's shino stud to select, a horse to travel the club's district. They strongly recommended the grand throe-year-old stallion, Eaton Fox, by Pheno- menon III., out of The Nun —Mr. T. J. Dutton therefore moved that this s-tallion be engaged for the coming season —Mr. G&skeil seconded, and it was agreed to.

Cured by DR.'WuILLIAMS' PINK PILLS "My health was so uncertain at one time that no medicine did anything for me beyond patching me up for a time." eaid Mr. Thomas Gamble, of 1, Bay-street, Leicester. "Then my system became so undermined that when I was attacked by Influenza the effects on my weak frame were quite alarming. In Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pilla I finally found new strength and a sound cure, but before that happened my state was indeed deplorable- The first sign of things being wrong with me was that I could not do my work quickly or well. I felt worn and weary, and THESE WERE out of sorts. I was at the HIS SYMPTOMS, mercy of any change in the weather. Then came a violent attack of influenza, with split- ting headaobes. intense weakness, and a feeling as though I had been bea.ten all over. I felt utterly powerless; indeed, on attempting to get out of bed I could not keep myself up. but would fail hack helpless* 1*1 to lightest food caused burning pains to shoot through my chest and stomach. At night sleep deserted moO, and my brain reeled with a dull, heavy pain. Sometimes I lost consciousness, and re- ma,ined in that state for houm. Pains flew all over me. I oould not control myself, but shivered from liead to foot. "I had been taking medicine all this time, but it did little for me except to upset my diges- tion and injure my stomach. Even liquid foods upset mo. When I did insist on getting about again it was only with the greatest difficulty. tliat I could go upstairs. The palpitation of my heart was so violent that every beat mado me flindh with pain. At beet I was only able to sit about, utterly despondent, and as weak as a babe. This pitiable statrf one doctor told me was due to acute debility following severe influenza. My whole body remained cold as ioe, and it seemed as if my veins were filled with a watery liquid instead of blood. "I had lost all faith in medicines, and was resigned to my fate, when Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Pcoplo were recommended to me. I bought a box, ajid bega.n taking the pills). First my appetite returned, and I enjoyed food without violent pains. I began to feel a glow of new, warm. blood through my whoLo system. I could sleep well at night and awake iiefreished. Before long I waa able to bake outdoor exer- oioo. and I felt stronger. After six boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pillft I felt so fit and well that I returned to work. From that day to this I have never known what it is to be out of sorts, and altogether I am as sound as a. bell."

Capo, 4. livitteirrace, Wrexham, says:—"I glad'iy confirm all I said for Doan's backache kidney pills over 4 yeans ago, and I am pleased to be able to add that my cure by the medicine haa been lasting. I am still free from kidney oompla.int, and haven't needed to take any more of the pills for a long timo now." The following is tho st?tomenb Mrs. Cope re- feN lo: — "About six year3 ago I began to suffer with pains in my back, just over whom the kidneys are- They were very sharp when I was bending a.bout at my work-more like a knife thrust than anything else. A little oxertion made me turn quite dizzy, and there seemed to be speoks floa,ting before my eyes. I was troubled with nervousness, too. as well as a weak, languid feeling, a.nd I often had chilly sensations. "Although I had medical advioe, and tried many remedies, nothing gave trie any lasting relief. "The benefit I ha.ve received from Doa.n.'s back- ache kidney pilla, however, has proved perman- ent, and I feel quite myself again. Doan's pills did me good from the first, and I didn't need to take them long before I was cured. I have recommended these kidney pills to my friends. (Signed) E. A. Cope." Doan's backache kidney pills are reliable in every form of kidney and bladder oomplaint in headache, rheumatism, dizziness, sleepless- neas, dropsical swellings,; in lumbago, sciatica and nervous disorders.
