I Poor Grandf4ia It is sad to see old people missing the joys of life-especially with Christmas in' the air-to hear of i their aching backs, rheumatic pains and urinary troubles; and to know they lack the comfort which Doan's Backache Kidney Pills afford old age. What a seasonable' gift—Doan's Pills! Comfort the Elderly this Christmas When younger they could offset Winter's cold and wet and penetrating winds by healthful exercise. Not so now; their muscles are less elastic, their blood circulates less freely, their kidneys are less act ive. Help the (A3 folk this Christmas; kidneys are less active. Help the old folk this Christmas; ensure them the comfort they deserve; save them from:- [ Backache, Urinary Troubles, Dropsical Swellings, Inflammation of the Kidneys and the Bladder, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Gravel, Stone, j Uric-Acid Poisoning, impure. Blood, Dizziness, j Headaches, Nervousness, and Unnatural Drowsiness. Doan's Pills are indeed a blessing to ageing men and women. i They stimulate the kidneys, soothe the urinary channels, and regulate the bladder, and they relieye jtka kidney symptoms so distressing to old age. A great consideration is that they do not affect the bowels their only action is upon the kidneys. | Judge By Facts i furnished by Mrs. Shaw, of Blanche Croft, Melbourne, near Derby. j ;3 'Ci.  Ten Years Proved Writing on 16th November, 1919, Mrs. Shaw said:—" Not once in ten years have I had any signs of kidney trouble, thanks solely to my cure by Doan's Backache Kidney Pills in 1909." I Seven Physicians thought the Sase Incurable On 4th February, 1909, Mrs. Shaw said For nineteen months no one could decide my complaint-though now I know weak kidneys were the cause. I was in pain continu- ally-my back, my sides, my limbs and my head. Then urinary trouble gave me a clue-the bladder did not fill-and I submitted myself for an operation—stone being found in the kidneys. Later on thest-oppage re- curred—and again I was oper- ated upon, this time to drain the fluid from my system. Only a passing relief was achieved, and seven physicians thought my case incurable. "Their opinion decided me to try Doan's Backache Kidney Pills-and this saved my life. "I amazed my neighbours, I as well as my doctor and nurse, 1 by getting up. and out of the house within a fortnight from the time I started with Doan's Pills. I got better every day after that, and in the end was cured—rid of, each symptom of kidney complaint—and well again, in every way.

The Day's Gossip. Leader Office, l'uesday. I wondr do the readers of Swansea realise the change that has come over the Swansea Public Library ? There has been, 1 know, a period of dead years, when, if you wanted a fairly modern book, you had either to buy or borrow it. Perhaps the Library was not to blame for this, because it had to live upon its income, and its in- come was very small. That inoorne is nothing to boast about even to-day, but I believe it can be said with fair justice that there is new life in the institution— and also new books! Within the last six months a very large number of recently- published works have been added to the shelves. What is now urgently required— and unhappily cannot be got because of the great cost-is an up-to-date catalogue. Readers, however, who are keen upon new works would do well to consult with Mr. Salter, Mr. Phillips (joint librarians), or Mr. Young. Over the week-end. as an I instance, I took home Mr. Herbert ( Trench's new play, JNapoleon," which has just been produced on the London stage—a beautiful work, which I commend to anyone who desires to study the tech- nique of play writing. The Week's Events. The Week's Events. I The Ladies' Committee of the Widows and Orphans' Fund is attempting some- thing unique in the way of whist drives this week. The function, which is to be held at the Hotel Metropole, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, is expected to be quite the most fashtonable event of the season, and as its object is the Widowa' and Orphans' Fund. 1 hope it will be as great a success financially. The Ladies' Committee has laid itself out to make the event an enjoyable one. The prizes are the best ever offered in connection with such a function in Swansea, and as there are to be knock-outs every night, and also aggregate prizes for the total of the three evenings, there ought to be some excite- ment. There is to be dancing every even- ing from 9.30 to 12. The whist starts at 6.30 every evening. Mr. Jarvis Jones will be one of the M.C.'s for the dancing. i Milton, I To-day we may celebrate the birth of that great poet who has so charmed our ijves by his deathless verse. Apt perhaps to associate his name with iViichael, Gabriel, Abdiel, Uriel or with the lost Archangel, Wlui durst defy the Omnipotent to Arms." we are in danger of forgetting his charm as a poet whose dainty word music has not been summed. The poet who wrote Paradise Lost" was also the auth -to of such winsome lyrics ast— There Eternal Stirn- ,dwells, And West Winds with musty wing About the cedar'n alleys fling Nard and smells or the exquisite expression of Oft on a z,)Trt f* crj-ound I hear the far-off Curfew sound Over some wide v/ntcr^,] shore Swinging slcnv wir.lj sullen roar. With devout reverence we thank God on this anniversary of the day of his birth for Milton's life and resultant work. C. R." A kindly gentleman who has borne with distinction the heaviness of a very diffi- cult appointment in one of the largest districts of the Great Western Railway in strenuous days is Atr. Charles Roberts who, it is announced, will shortly vacate the District Goods managership to assume an even more responsible appointment at Cardiff, which will enable him to display his genius of management in the interests of tbeG.IV-.R. His courtesy and tact are hyewords amongst hie staff. The clerical staff-of the Swansea District lose a much- loved chief, who knew almost every mem- ber personally and who, despite the rigour of his managerial duties, had a kindly word of encouragement for all. Good luck, 6ir, L the hearty wish of all those who have considered it a privilege to have carried out his instructions. Pastors of Greenhill. I The solemn consecration of St. Joseph's I Catholic Church and the unveiling of the beautiful memorial to the fallen reminds I us of the excellent work done in Swansea during the last 50 years by faithful priests of St. Joseph'a, They have won the heart of Swansea by their noble and self-sacrificing lives. When Father Cavanagh first came as pastor of St. David's he had to be protected by a body of Irish stalwarts from injury and insult. The good man was not long in town, how- ever, before quite a new atmosphere of sympathy had been created, and when cholera visited Swansea, Father Cavanagh was always found at the scene of danger, beside the dying and the dead, called for night and day by Catholic and Psotestant alike. One of the founders of the Royal Institution, he wag among the most popular and respected men of Swansea., and Mayor and Corporation attended his funeral, which was the first in the new Danvgraig Cemetery. Another name that will alwavs be honoured and held in pleasant and long is th1+ of Canon Richards, now passing the even- ing of his life at Downside. Yet another held ever in loving remembrance is that of Father Fitzgerald, who contracted pneumonia, P-cl, was cut off in the midst i of his beneficent activities. Father O'Hare, favoured with the blessing of the numerous residents of Greennill, j whom he has been privileged to instruct and inspire, is with us still, though un- fortunately bed-ridden. Of the present chief priest, Dr. Harrington, it is un- necessary to speak. He is too well- known. Absent-Minded Beggars Up-to-date. We are absent-minded beggars, and some- what selfish too, I If we do not do our best to make things bright For the widows and the orphans of the boys who lay out there, Having sacrificed their life for you and I Now, there is no need of telling That the fund will need some swelling, I If we want to take the place of their dear dad; So come along, you whoppers, whilst chil- dren give their coppers, It's the most we must expect from little mites. The gentlemen as mentioned, must have had tfome good intention When they started such a fund as now in sight. There will be no war for ages, so save up all your wages, And .wage a war of right for widows' mites. The Leader," whilst its selling, you and I are daily telling Of the progress that the fund is going to make. Just you send along some gold, that your money-bag now holds, j f It's y&ur duty, as you were too old to I fight. A. J, N. (Blackpill). I
