POETRY. ) I am a little sparrow, A bird of low degree; My life is of little value- But my friend cares for me. I was given a coat of feathers, 'Tis very plain I know, With not a speck of crimson. For it was not made for show. But it keeps me warm in winter, I' And bide* me from the rain; Were they bordered with gold or purple, I Perhaps it would make me vain. r Dear Uncle,—My sister compose d thio ) funny piece.

THIS is a question a newspaper corres- pondent asks and then proceeds to answer in the affirmative. Ho says a baby's first outfit to-day costs what would have been a substantial dress allowance for its mother a few years since. A pram, costs as much as a good bicycle: But supposing it does cost more your baby is here and you want the little one to grow up strong and healthy. If you can't feed him yourself you will get fresh cow s milk of coursa. Like everything else that's gone up also. How can you make it into the very finest food lor building up baby .J The answer is Use Milk wit Moseleys Food. Moseleys Food trebles the food value of milk for babies. Every doctor wili ) teft you that cow s milk by itself is much too heavy for any child under two years j oi age. But merely lettin it down with water won't do. It requires the addition ) of Moseleys Food as well aa water. Then the Food acts on the cheese-like curd of | the milk and breaks it up into fine parti. J cles of nourishment which together with the strengthening properties oE Moseltjys Food provide the body building materials baby needs. Use Moseleys Food and you get better food for baby at less cost. The feeding schedule for babies under 12 months old which is enclosed in every till shows that an average child can be wet! fed with milk j and Moseleys Food from birtij to ;t. first | birthday on !ess than an average of I? I pints of milk per day. Humanises Cow's Milk for Baby. Sold by all good Chemists in 9d., 1/4, and 3 Has.

DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE. Successful Meeting at Pontardawe. A meeting waS held at the Public H.-al, Pontardawe, on Wednesday night, under- tht auspices of the Welsh Democratic r League. Mr. J. Walter Jones, B.A., -who: presided, explained that the League was «. non-party one, and the feeling w-hi.:11 4^1 animated them to etsrt the Leagrie wathe delicate situation that they found thomcclrea in aad the great needs at the! time. NEED OF PRODUCTION. The greatest of needs was production. &nd while ii. was felt that even greats sacrifices should be made by employ- i I and employe with a view to more produo-' tion, and which could not be done hy liberals or Gonset-natives whilst Labour belf was divided, it was decided to form a League of this kind, which he considered had a message for all. PROFESSOR ARNOLD'S SPEECH. Prof. E. V. Arnold, Bangor, w ho wag the principal speaker, referred to the' meeting held in that hall on Monday night, when the nationalisation of mines were under discussion. He said they must all agree that the mines of the nation ought to- be used for the good of t11, nation, and in the fundanien.tal tense tlwV werê the property of the nation. Private i enterprise had been the foundation of the whole mining system. Coal had always been in the country, and it was nM. the ?vernment of the country who founded the coal industry. It was"the individual who had done this, and it had been up to him to collect his workmen together in order to make it what it was, as was the case with ether great industry in the country. The prosperity of everyone de- x pended upon increased production and. upon more efficieut^produeiion. The pro- duction of ooal in this country was very smaIl, and in his opinion it could he doubled, nnd maybe trebled, and this would bring increased prosperity to every- one. The speaker also dwelt upon the feasibility of working the mines on the co-operative principle.
