BAD REAM." I  .———— I Landlady's Evidence in j W.R.A.F. Inquiry. The Lords Committee inquiring into tlu- I dismissal of the Hon. Violet Douglas l'ennant devoted attention yesterday to iiurst Park camp charges. Mr. Turnbull, registry clerk, described an occasion whcn he had soen the C.O. and" Miss B." together in the C.O.'s office. SAT ON TABLE TOGETHER. Did you on one occasion go, on some official business, into the commanding j officer's room?" asked Mr. Hawke. Yes." "Whom did you see there?"—" Miss Glubb and the Colonel." Where were they sitting ?" They were sitting in a peculiar atttude on the table with a little dog between them. The trays which were usually on both ends of the table were on the floor." .1 When did you see that very suspicious circumstance asked Mr. Curtis Bennett, for Colonel Janson, the Commanding Officer. The circumstance was not suspicious until the Colonel threw me out of the room-practically $speaking," replied Turnbull. He meant, he explained, that it was I done, not with violence, but with violent tone^ PYJAMA INTERVIEW. ) \irs. Stewart, who said that up to July last she lived at St. Helens-gardens, Wormwood Scrubs, next gave evidence, and spoke of Miss Glubb, Colonel Jansou und a Major Carey occupying rooms at her nouse in February or March of tin, year. Mr. Bevan: How long did Colonel J n- II son stay ? Witness: 1 had to teU him to go. I-le was tl^eie three. Ilights, I think. It is I' like a bad dream to look back on. On the first night, she said, Colonel Jauson came home at three o'slock in tbq morning. Witness's daughter came to her room, and told her someone was knocking at the door. Witness: He sdjid he felt it was some- body's fault lie could not get in. Colonel, Janson then said he wanted to deliver a message to Miss Glubb. Mr. Bevan: She was in the house tlitn. —Yes, in bed. I offered to deliver the message. I)i,,i he accept your oI fer?-He did at first, then he demurred, and said it was rather important, and he would rather set- Miss Glubb. Miss Gluhb came down in her pyjamas and dressing-gown. Witness went on to say that she heard the voices of Colonel Janson and Miss Glubb in Colonel Janson's room for a long time after she had returned to bed. is he fell asleep before the voices eeaspd. g,GOOD-NIGHT, DARLING." I •Jn Uie second night witness said she II knocked on the floor on hearing the voices "I Colonel Janson and Miss Glubb. Mr. Bevan Old they remain in the room I together after you knocked-Oh, yes, a long timb. Mrs. Stewart said she heard Colonel Jan son say Good-night, darling. I will make it all right in the morning." On the third night R-itiivi said she found Miss Glubb's hot-water bottle in Colonel Janson's room. Referring to a remark passed by witness ftu-t Miss Glubb was in Colonel Janson's room at all times in the morning, counsel asked if she thought" before they were dressed." Witness said that Colonel Jan- son was in bed when Miss Glubb left. Did you form the opinion that thorf had been some impropriety; asked coun- sel, referring to Colonel Janson and Miss Glubb Witness: Yes. Mr. Morris suggested that the knocking on the floor occurred on the third night. Mrs. Stewart replied, Oh, no. It is written in letters of fire on my memory. It is too terrible, in my opinion, to forget it." Next morning Miss Glubb said to her that she was sorry she had been dis- turbed. This concluded the evidence for Miss Douglas-Pennant. Lord Weir was called, and the com- mittee adjourned until Monday.

 Å. Jarvis ,?fr. A Ta r t, i, ( from Photoj.   Weak and III for Years. Be Witt's made me a S Strong Mao. l Do you wake in the morning feeling heavy and tired, stiff in the joints, „ and with a bad taste in your mouth? f Have you tired, dragging, sharp pains in the limbs or back? Do you feel dull and irritable? You need proper ■ treatment for your kidney trouble, =•■ the kidneys are not functioning pro- perly, and the poisonous uric acid which should pass out through them is retained in the blood. De Witt's tt Kidney and Bladder Pills have al- (P ready proved themselves Absolutely successful in thousands of cases, and testimonies are pouring in from all over the world. „ Mr. Arthur Jarvis, of 32, Frances- « street, Batterseai, stated in 1912 that he had been completely cured after 40 years of acute suffering from f/* Bright's Disease. He says: "You can refer anyone to me or make what use you like of this testimonial. Over 60 years of age, Mr. Jarvis said that for the last 20 years lie had only been able to work for a few days at a j time at long intervals. Again and again he was struck down with this affliction, and once was refused ad- mission to hospital as incurable. In March, 1912, he was taken ill with rheumatic fever, so badly that no hope was entertained of his recovery. His son-in-law, hearing of Da Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills, bought a box for him to try. To everyone's amazement all signs of fever left. him after taking them for two days. A few weeks later he commenced work, and was able to continue regularly from that time. Six years later Mr. Jarvis said: I am now 69 years of age, and feeling wonderfully young and strong. Since I last wrote I have not missed a day's work. I have De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills to thank for a marvellous recovery." With this splendid testimony in mind, can you continue to suffer without giving De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills a trial? For rheuma- tism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, blad- der pains and inflammation, stone, and Bright's disease, they are abso- lutely unrivalled. They never fail to give relief. Within 21 hours the relief from pain and a certain blue tinge in the urine show that they I have passed right through the kid- I neys and commenced their work.

I ORTY YEARS' WORK FOR THRIFT. Tribute To Mr. W. 'Williams, Wern. the members of the Landore Perma- .;eut Benefit Building Society, at their itli Annual Meeting, paid a tribute to uiie of their founders, Mr. William Wil- liams. J.P., of Wern, Landore, by mak- mg him a presentation, which took the form or a handsomely upholstered easy ch air. Mr. ,David Roberts, joint secretary or the Society, said the Society had proved a great help to hundreds of men, and no man had done more for the cause of thrift in the district than Mr. Williams. lie had been a member of the Society for 40 years, and in the days before there was gas or electricity he trudged the dark roads to outlying districts in all weathers to attend subscription meetings. Landore und the whole district of Swansea owed a great, debt to Mr. Williams, through c. whom many a man owns his own house. He had felt that the treasureship had got too much for him, 'but now, as one of the directors, he still took a great inter- est in the Society's welfare. THE PRESENTATION. I _I The presentation was made by Mr. Jno. Lewis, Plasmarl, who, speaking in Welsh, offered Mr. Williams all felicita- ,-ions from the members. Mr. Williams voiced his thanks, and nd he had been connected with a build- ■: -mj society for 60 years, and he gave some ignres of his very early recollections of he work in Landore, and said that many i man in a good position to-day could hank the Society tor its help to him at he start. Amid applause lie took his seat I i the chair. At a meeting held previous to tho pres- ¡ ■nfcation the annual report and balance j Isefet of the Society were unanimously I j. irpted. Tae appointment of Mr. J. Hubert Rob a: .ts as joint secretary, was contiriaied. I v The retiring directors—Messrs. D. W f .'osser, Wm. Williams and John Lewis- ? "ret re-elected. z. STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION. I The report showed that after ^rovidinn or and paying in full, interest to share holders and depositors, income tax an.) Ul management fees, there was a net. jirofit of S491 Os. 3d. on the year's work- fr: mg. This, on the recommendation of ti-i- ctor-a, was transferred to tue reserve iii(t, which now fs. I Mr. Roberts stated that the Society was t :i a very strong position, standing a" tigh as anything in Wales, and showing very indication that they were going on id on in very fine style.

i NO FIREGUARD. dw- Three-Year-Old Child's Death. What the defending solicitor, Mr. lives, described ns a very sad case, j ar.u* before the Swansea County Bench Saturday, when a collier named Evan Villiams (32), of Po no law dd. was charged ith "allowing a child in a room with ire v.-ithout a fireguard on September •Mh." According to the evidence, screams were beard, and a neighbour, running into de- fendant's house, found him nursing his child, aged three, who had been badly burnt. Thero was no fireguard in front of the fire. I SEVERELY BURNED. I Dr. Hughes, of Penclawdd, said lie was alled to defendant's house, where he saw lie child suffering from severe burns. v„ The child died the following day. Mr. Noyes said the death of the child had been a severe blow to the defendant. There was a fireguard in the house, but on the day in question defendant's wife > had removed it from the fire, and had not put it back. The child was only left alone for half a minute while defendant went to get some fuel from the stack, and i' .),clothes, being of flannelette, had flared up. Defendant sustained severe burns to I his hands by extinguishing the flames. Defendant was bound over and ordered to pay costs.
