COVERED WITH RED BLOTCHES. 42, Bolham Rd., Smethwick, Birm- ingham, Eng.—"Before I started to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment I was III an awful condition. My life was a piisery. My complaint came with little itchy pimples and I could not resist from scratching, and every time I scratched them there was something iike water came from them. I could not sleep at night from 'scratching, and I Was that irritable I could not bear to be spoken to. It lasted me for over two months, and I was quite a mass of sores. I was covered all over with red blotches. I tried nearly everything but to no Use till I was told to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent for some Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment and I found relief in the first dressing. In less thasj four dressings of Cuticura Soap and Ointment 1 was quite free from the Pluiples." (Signed) A. E.

Mr. George Bernard Shaw contri- butes to the lively discussion that has followed Sir Arthur Pinero's plea for the smoking theatre. "My own personal point of view," Mr. Bernard Shaw said, "is that of a person who does not smoke, and who re- gards the habit a" an utterly filthy and detestable one, and considers that people who do smoke should not only not be allowed to go to the theatre, but should not be allowed to go anywhere, or to exist. Freak Fashions Explained. .Lioud, primitive, and provincial!" That is the indictment against the de- signers of dress in Pans found in the Jailor and Cutter," in which com- plaint is made that "the native Parisian artist in clothes has been in- vaded in his own home by foreigners— generally Teuton*—and bad taste." NVorst of aL, this substitution of push for cut spreading in London, anu the writer tells of a City tailoring firnj run by a ship chandler. To these influences are attributed the freak iasiiions launched on the market during the last few seasons. A Ligiltly-Taxed People. I think it may be fairly said thal above the level of a few hundreds a year the British people are vvy lightly taxed indeed, writes Mr. Chiozza Money to-day. The £1,000 man is asked to contri- gute for all national purposes perhaps about three times as much as he spend., on his golf. In the lower levels of iH- come, however, relief should be given at the earliest possible moment by reduc- tion or abolition of the revenue duties on tea, sugar, etc., and this could ob- viously be done by very slightly increas-j ing the taxation at the upper levels. Chivied Out. The Tariff Reformers have suc- succeeded in chivying the Hon. George Peel out of Mid-Herts. A natural re- sult of their intolerance is that Mr. Peel has now left the Unionist Party alto- gether. There is no room for a Free Trader in its ranks. Dearth of ability (says "H.J." of the Daily Chronicle") is a marked feature of the Tory Party at the present time. A man like Mr. Peel, with his brilliant gifts and his vein of real originality,, would have been a most promising re- cruit; but because of his refusal to pronounce the shibboleth of Tariff Re- form he is driven into the wilderness.

CONCERT AFTERTHOUGHTS SIR HENRY WOOD DELIGHTED WiTH SWANSEA CHOIR. The following are some of the opinions expressed after the concert given by the Swansea and District Maie Voice Choir last evening. Sir Henry Wood.—Excellent. The peifounance of "Antigone" is the finest I have ever hoard. The lines upon wirch the festival committee have com- menced their work augurs well for the future of music in Wales. Mr. R. C. Jenkins, Llaneily.—(A well known National Eisteddfod conductor and prize winner).—The performance was exceptionally fine. Mr. Martyh Thomas (the Chairman of the Executive Committee).—The executive committee, of which I am chairman, are exceedingly grateful to the inhabitants of Swansea for the ex- cellent response tiiey gave, and we were greatly encouraged, not only from that point of view, but also for the keen ap- preciation shown to every item in the programme. Surely it is something to have been the means of introducing a Beethoven's Symphony—notwithstand- ing that tt should have been written a century ago-to an audience. I was so pioased to think that its emotional appeal should be the means of persistent demands for encores and that in itself is a certain proof that Welsh audiences are capable of appreciatnig high- class mustc when it is presented to them. Sir Henry Wood had remarked that the choice of symphony was the most fitting number for introducing to a public which had hitherto been de- prived of hearing the world's greatest masterpieces. Sir Henry Wood expressed the desire that the committee should proceed on the lines they had already commenced, ior he assured them that Wales will hold its own against any nation in the world on account of the grea% warmth of tem- perament.

I .¡= "Ail cina to tervous Breakdown" A NURSE'S EARNEST ADVICE. Nourish your nerves—that is the only way you can overcome life's worst misery, Nervous Exhaustion. The fits of depression and irritation, the pro- strating headaches, the weakness and trembling of the legs, the unsteady hand and the imperfect digestion that mark the victim of Nerve-weakness, must end in complete Nervous Break- down if neglected. Nourish your nerves by the natural process of creating good, red, refresh- ing blood in your veins. Your nerves are crying out for pure blood and the mission of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People is to create the rich, red blood of health. This explains why these Pills have proved so widely successful in cases of Nervous Disease. Nurse L. Moring, whose home is at 20 Oak-st., North- ampton, states :— Five years ago my health gave way; it was a case of nervous debility, and though I took medicine it was not until I had taken a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that my health became fully restored. The first sign of the breakdown was insomnia. I could seldom sleep Jk j NURSE MORING. even after attending a trying case. Then my nerves became so shattered that I dreaded being alone. Often I felt irritable and in state of nerve panic. There were days when I could not bear the sight of food. I suffered fearfully from neuralgic pains and palpitation of the heart Specialists agreed that the trouble was due to Nervous Breakdown and impoverished blood. Then I was persuaded to take a few boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills soon my nerves- became calm, and I was not so agitated. My appetite grew regular, and as I per. severed with the Pilis, I slept well at night, arising in the morning thoroughly refreshed So Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me."

A DIFFICULTY MET. -v- INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS AND ftrtPOftABY KteiDtNTS. One of the problems which has occa- sioned much trouble to the National Health Insurance Oummissioneris is that relating to insured persons, who, by nature of their employment, are com- pelled to travel from town to town. The panel system did not make allowance for these people—who are estimated to number about 500,000, and include mem- bers of the theatrical profession, per- manent railway men, navvies, commer- ciel travellers, and others—they were, as a result debarred from the privilege of medical attendance unless they were able to return home whenever illness overtook them. Under the new scheme, however, this has been obviated. These insured per- sons will henceforth be known as "Temporary Residents," and will re- fromo'-ira a special book of vouchers. If incapacitated by illness when away from home, a "temporary resident" can call in any of the panel doctors in the town at which they chance to be and receive treatment on presentation of a voucher. The difficulty of paying the doctors will be met by providing a special fund out of the funds set aside originally for medical benefit. The method of distri- buting the fund will be similar to that adopted in areas where payment by at- tendance is in vef,ne.

I HURTFUL CRITICISM. LORD HALDANE AND SNEERERS AT THE TERRITORIALS. TRAINING IN SCHOOLS. House of Lords, Monday.—The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the Wool- sack at 4.15. The debate on the motion for the second reading of the Army Annual Bill .was resumed by Viscount Midletoru Vount Haldane said Lord Lovat in his place the other night made a most significant interruption of the speech of the Marquis of iuansdowne. He spoke in that interruption of the two sections into which the Unionist Party was divided and complained of the presence of Mr. Balfour on the Defence Com- mittee, because that was not just to the other section of the Unionist Party. Good Heavens! Were they to have, in adclition to the controversies on food taxes, on the Budget, and on the Parliament Act, a new controversy about Army policy? If so, then Heaven help the country when the Opposition came into power. Blue Water and Blue Funk. I Don't let them be unduly nervous I about the country's detences. Don't let them belong either to the blue water bchooi, who &aid there was no fear of invasion, or to the blue funk school, who lived daily i nterror of it. The question whether 70,000 or 700,000 men could come over to this country wa<s a naval question and not a military one. The only task for the military authorities here was to make sure that there was such a force at home as would make it necessary for the foreign general staff otficer to decide in his mind that he must not send fewer than 70,000 men. The Territorial Force was recruited from classes and had officers who were peculiarly sensi- tive to anything like ridicule or criticism. The effect of this criticism- especially upon the officers-had been deplorable. When they were told that they were a sham, that they had no training at all, and that they were useless and would go down like grass before the enemy, could it be imagined that such statements would have no euectP They h had a deadly effect upon the prospects of the Territorial Force. (Ministerial cheers). Training In Schools. I He was in sympathy with the sug- gestion which had been made that a certain amount of training should be given in the schools. ISo system of ¡ national education could be a perfect system which did not include the physical as well a& the mental side. He thought, however, it would be ad- visable to keep the purely military ele- ment out of it as long as possible, and certainly in the lower stages. The Bill was read a second time.

FIERCE DENUNCIATION OF I THE SMAKT SET. ALFRED SUTRO'S MESSAGE TO SOUItTt. The patrons at the Theatre Royal, Swansea, (thanks to Mr. Coutts' ener- getic enterprise), are now becoming lamiiiar with all that is best in dram- j atic authorship. During the past ievv weeks works from the greatest play- wrights and from the classic composers have been provided in prodigal prolu- sion. V, e have i I a-(i fiiii callaeb "Christian" and "Eternal City," Henry Arthur Jones's "Liars" and "Mrs. Dane's Defence," and this w-eex we have Alfred Sutro's telling tirade against the trivel and flippancy of fashionable fops. During last night's performance of "The Walls of Jericho," no passage of the brilliant play was more enthusiasti- cally received than that in which Jack j Frobisher denounces the artificiality and insincerity of the smart set. We feel that we shall be doing our readers a good turn if we quote a short tceiie from the third act in which after a long spell of silent surfing the out- burst comes:— Jack: It's time there should be a change. Alethea: I don't know what you mean Jack: I've had enough of these companions of yours, these wretched sexless women, who do nothing but flirt and gamble, these childless wives who grudge the time that it costs them to bring a baby into the world. I've had enought of their brainless in- decent talk, where everything good is turned into ridicule, and each word has a double meaning. I've had enough of this existence of ours in town and country, where all tne men make love to their neighbours' wives. I've done with it—done with it all- and so have you I Alethea: You exaggerate grossly. Jack: Exaggerate! Haven't I to stand by and see it all year after year! Oh, yes, we've lived in a very smart set, and I dare say there've been one or two more who respected the seventh commandment and merely played with fire. And m (-,i; t husbands, no doubt, are content with the wives to neglect them, as you have neglected me; never given them a thought; have no time to look after their child. Aletnea: That's not true! Jack: Isn't it? There's our boy upstairs—you have allowed a strange woman to give him her mii'k, so that you could play bridge and go danc- ing. You see him a few minutes each day—you've so much to dot Alethea: Do you think I do not love my child? Jack: You love him ae you love me —half an hour out of the twenty- four; and the rest of the time we don't count. Alethea: Oh, how can you say such a thing? Jack: As for me-the schemes I've at heart—my hopes and ambitions— it's a long time now since I dared to speak of them. I've been poor foolish Jack, who didn't play cards or waltz; I was dull and a bore. But the first fop who came along, the first smirk- ing dandy who could whisper and ogie and tell you a tit-bit of scandal, he was amusing and p,-easanti He thought it right that you should lose hundreds at cards, spend a fortune on dress, a-nd fritter your time on all sorts of foolishness. Your brother seduces a girl, you are indignant with me be- cause I defend her. The people around you—the poor, the helpless, the sick—to these you never give a thought! You're a peer's daughter, sent into the world to enjoy yourself, have a good time, with Daiiases round to flirt with. It's been plea- sure, pleasure, pleasure, from morn- ing to night. from one year's end to another. You and your friends for- get for what Cruel made you, and turn to mere empty dolls. r Well, I say,'to hell with all this! You're my wife, not my mistress; I married because I wanted a mate and a partner, and I'm tired of the Lfp you've led. in which you'd been neither: And so we'll go, we two; ii-e 11 leave th I' rotten \Veuo we'll go back to Nature and start things over again 1 )

LORD COR ELL DEAD. FDRMERLYJ PfiLSiDEKT OF THE DIVORCE CIVISiOH. ——— The Nice correspondent of the "Star" telegraphs that Lord Gorell died at four o'clock this morning at | Mentone. Baron Gorell, of Brampton, who was sixty-five years of age. was, as Sir John Gorell Barnes, Judge of Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty Division from 1892 till 1905, and from the latter j year till 1909 he was President or the same Division. He acted as chairman of the Royal Commission on .Divorce. At the time of his death he was a member of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. He is succeeded by his son, the Hon. Henry Gorell Barnes. The deceased was made a Q.C. in 18b8; he married, in 1881, the daughter i of the late Mr. Mitchell, of West; Archurlie. His residences were Strat- ford Hills, near Colchester, and 14, j Kensington Park Gardens, W. i Lord Gorell's successor as President! of the Divorce Court was, of course, Sir Samuel Evans, once Recorder oi Swansea.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS CF Aj NEW [HSGOVERY. I For two years Mr. Ernest Cook, 21, Silvermere-rcad, Catford, S.E., had his face thickly covered with brigh-tii red pimples, a rash that burned and itched till he was nearly frantic. He attended three hospitals, each for a j ions time. The doctors named the eruption Erythema, a dangerous kind of eczema. Gradually Mr. Cook's face became masked with a thicky mass of itching, scarlet inflammation. After hospital and medical treatment failed, he tried the new discovery Cadum. The itching and burning at once stopped. Cadum effected a perfect and lasting cure in two weeks. Cadum can be had from all Chemists at 7id. It quickly cures pimpiet, blotches, ulcers, eruptions, scaly skin, rash, ehafings, itching piles, etc. People who have itched and scratched for years find sleep and rest when Cadum ointment is applied,

THE SRiSiS HAS ABRIVED. (Continued from Page 1). (for is an extra penny per week. For ithis small sum all the arrangements At the Hospital and elsewhere are to be upset. It is positively absurd when you come to think of it. But there it is. "The position is undoubtedly a very serious one. But once the real fght starts, as start it will with the im- portation of the undercutters, one of us must go to the wall. That is evi- dent!" Societies Equally Determined. I The societies are equally as deter- mined. They contend that while the conditions might not have been altogether satisfactory from the medi- cal men's point of view under the old system, no reasonable justification j has been shown for the big increase in the rate which the doctors are now demanding. "The doctors received very good treatment under the original proposals of the Chancellor," said a prominent friendly society man. "They insisted upon more, and as soon as the Chancellor had met them they put up the rate all round— in the opinioil of many to an altogether unreasonable extent. There is, ol course, nothing to prevent them increas- ing their rates. Whether P "Jple are prepared to pay them is another matter altogether. We can do for ourselves, as members of societies, all that the doctors did for us before or are prepared to do now, at much less than they are asking. Plenty of Men Available. I There arc plenty oi good, capable, veil-qualified, experienced men avail- able. Why should we not be as free to choose as the medical men ? They Ifave started their medical aid service. Very wellwe don't object. We don't com- plain. But we are going to start ours. Let there be no mistake about that. We aope to have our scheme in operation in a very short time, and having failed to arrive at an agreement with the local doctors, we are not going to be de- terred. We have met them and heard what they had to say. We shall have no dictation." -————- è ————— THE LETTERS. I COMMUNICATIO N TO BE READ TO hOSPtlAL BOARD.

Keport from the Mayor re Conference. —Dispute between Medical, iriendly societies and Trades Unions.—April 15th: To W. D. Hughes, Esq., secretary Swansea Ueneral and Eye Hospital, Swat,.sea.-I-) -sir,—In reply to your letter of the llLh iIllit. have to inform you that the conference which was held at the Guildhall on the 1st iast. was, as far as 1 am concerned, repre- sentative of both town and district. In the iust place the medical men, who were 12 in number, were from Swansea, Gowerton, Penclawdd, Britonferry, Neath, Cwmavon, etc., and when writing to the secretary of ihe friendly societies I requested that six delegates should be appointed to represent the friendly societies in Swansea and dis- irict. As regards the trades unions, a t-e- uuest was made by me to the secretary to appoint representatives for Swansea, and j communicated personally with the Mayor of Neath, and with a representative from (iorseiuon to attend, and endeavoured to obtain the name of a representative from "untaråawe and district, but was unable to :;et one. I enclose a list of the delegates a ho attended the conference. As you are ao doubt aware a list of questions were submitted on behalf of the trades unions and friendly societies to the medical pro- fession for their consideration. Th?se h? .e now been duly answered and sent to the secretary representing those two bodies. The answers were considered at the joint conferences of the representatives of the iriendly societies and Labour Association, and the result of such conference is that tiley cannot accept the terms laid down by the medical profession. I have commu- nicated with Dr. Knight as representing the medical professon,, and Mr. T. L. Jell- kns representing the trades unions and iriendly societies, stating mat it would seem that no good would result from the holding of a further conference, and I am now waiting any communication from them us to this, ad, of course, 1 am anxious that an amicable settlement should be arrined at. Should another conference be convened, and it is your desire, I will submit your communication to them.-Yours faithfully. David Williams, Mayor of Swansea. MEDICAL STAFF RESOLUTION. (2). April 15th: To the Secretary Swansea General and Eye Hospital.—Dear Sir,—At a full meeting of the Hon. Medical Staff the toilowing resolution was passed: That the lion .Medical Staff of the Swansea General and Eye Hospital desire to express their sympathy with the medical men of Swansea and district in their endeavour to secure more adequate remuneration from contract practice than has hitherto been obtained, and they are surprised and indignant on learning that their just and moderate de- mands have been met with an attempt to establish in the town a medical aid asso- ciation. Recognising that underpaid medical work is equally as bad for the patient as for the doctor, the Hon. Medical Staff have decided that in the event of the establishment of any society with the asso- ciation having for its object the employ- ment of 'medical men under conditions not approved of by the medical profession, they will under no circumstances meet in consultation or have any professional deal- ings with any medical men holding office under such society or association in connec- tion with the patient either privately or at the Hospital, and moreover they will de- cline except in cases of the gravest emer- gency to treat in hospital any member cf" such society; also that the staff adopt the same attitude towards medical men undertaking contract work at terms below those decided upon by the medical profession of any district.Yourt; faith- fully, W. L. GrifQtsh (bon. sec. of Hon. Medical Staff). IMMEDIATE STEPS. I (3.) To Secretary of Swansea General a,nd Eye Hospital.—" The hon. medical staff have received information that medical aid associations are being formed and medical officers appointed thereto in this district, have resolved to take immediate steps to put into force the resolution of the staff on February 25th, considered at a special meeting of the Beard of Man- agement on March 12th, 1913.
