ONE GOOD THING. I
ONE GOOD THING. I To be Thankful for To-Day. I There is one thing that thousands of people have to be thankful for in the-e harassing days, when money flies quicker than ever. Rheumatism used to be the lot of tvefyono over fifty. People thought iuore was no escape from t; IS painful n Ilaint; and, of course, yoi'?lgeiyi)"pl?l t?n'erfd from it too. Things are ia* better now in this respect. Science has discovered that rheumatism I 16 not brought on by damp and exposure -alone. If your blood is free from rheu- matic poison$ou can smile at wet weather or cold "winds. I'or your blood will free itself from the acids which causes rheumatic pains, if it is itself good and abundant. But if your blood ? impure it is unable to throw off the poiaon-s of the disease, and then you feel the agonies of rheumatism in your I muscles and joints. Dr. Williat)' pink pills are the most direct treatment for rheumatism because they enrich and purify the blood so that it is able to do its work thoroughly. People of all ages and in all parts of the country are telling how they rid them- selves of rheumatism through the rich red blood made by Dr. Williams' pink pills. Old people need not have rheuma- tism and younger ones soon get free from it when they start a course of theee pills. The experience of Mrs. H. Morgan, of Palmer Cottage, Marshsicle, Chislett, Kent, will perhaps prove of help to ethers. "I was a martyr to rheuhiatiem for a long time," she said, and suffered tor- tures. At times I was bent double with it, and on one occasion two years ngo 1 was confined to my bed for five monthe, suffering excruciating pains all the t me. I tried everything in my endeavours to obtain relief, but spent pounds and pounds on doctors' bills with no satis- factory result. To make matters worse, I had chronic indigestion and gastritis. I could not eat, for food would not stop on my stomach. Even the lightest of diets up- set me. Just before last Christmas I read an account of a similar ease to my own being cutfed by Dr. Williams' pink pills, and 1 sent for a supply of the pills. The first box gave me some relief, for my appetite improved, and I found I could take food without upsetting my stomach. I persevered with the pills, and the rheumatic pains began to get easier. I felt better and brighter, my general health was greatly improved, and I could sleep well at night. U Now I am quite well. and the rheuma- tism and gastritis do not trouble me, thanks to Dr. Williams' pink pills. After suffering for so long it seems a miracle to me. My youngest son. 18 years of age, has also taken Dr. Williams' pink pills with oGd results. Some time ago influenza yleft him very weak. Ho took Dr. Wil- pink pills, and they very soon built ?phM health." j. The best, time to. begm Dr. "11 hams jjink pills to-day j?o to any dealer for a supply, and say you want Dr. Williams FREE.

¡MR. FRANK ALLEN.I
¡ MR. FRANK ALLEN. I The Man Who Made the Variety Theatre. As already reported Mr. Frank Allen, who has been successively general manager and managing director of Moss Empires Ltd., and who has been' associated with the late Sir Edward and Mr. Richd- Thornton for nearly forty years, has ten- di-red his resignation owing to ill-health. Mr. Allen will still retain his seat on the Board. Mr. R. H. Gillespie will suc- ceed him. Mr. Frank Allen who, in January next, ■wiil be entering upon his 70th year, saw the birth of the Variety Theatre and -its evolution from tho garish old-time music: hall. The word "Variety" was coined iby him. 35 year* ago; since when he has atood for all that is renned in amusement. .lIe f?orwaw the fnture of the family iE?r 9 to which a man could take ?hi& wife or daughter withont running the risk of them hearing ?nythin? offensive. ? The opportunity he louged for came he met Mr. Richard Thornton in •|885. and this gentleman appointed Mr. tAIleD. as manager of his Music Hall, a new building in South Shields. Mr. Allen ■^considers that the opening marked a red- gietter day in the history of high-class t^ntertainment. "The word music hall" CjwaB dropped, and the name "variety entr(}:' Kubstituted. It saw the origin £ id the family amusememt resort. fer Those were the day a of Yeeta Tilley, ^{noir Lady De Freoe). Annie Hill, Bessie Bellwood, Bessie Bonehill, Marie Loft us, H. MacDermott.

To-day, ten ".times that amount is quite an ordinary a-rtietfw, salary list for the week. -Approximately at Moss Empires, Theatres 84,000 people pay for admission nightly, or 26,750,000 a year. The staff throughout the country numbers 2,250, and the orchestra members total 550.

He took possession of a large shovel, upon which there was a fresh bloodstain. Alx»ut an hour afterwards ho arrested defendani^, who, in reply to the charge said: It was in my own defence. Since I have been in tbe house I cannot get peace nor quietness from that man. He always makes a row with lue. I was having sup- per when he struck me on the face, and I got hold of the first thing to defend myself." Defendant was remanded until Wed- nesday, bail I)eiiil- granted.
FINANCIAL NEWS. I
FINANCIAL NEWS. I FOREIGN EXCHANGES. I I The foreign exchange market was quieter, and- rates were very irregular in their movement. The New York exchange > advanced to 3.77i, whilst the French rate fell to 41.15. Belgium, however, was higher, and so was Italy, and there were upward movements in the rates of Spaiii) Stockholm, and Christiania. German marks (at 181-183) were steady, and Vienna unchanged at 601.1 to G50. Exchange on Poland was quoted at 330 to 360, and on Czecho-Slovakia at 215 to 225. GOLD AND SILVER. Gold remained at nominally 110s. 6d. per ounce, but silver was weaker owing to a rally in Uie New York exchange, the cash price declining N. to 77Jd. per ounce, and the forward quotation Jd. to 761d. MONEY BATES ADVANCING. The reports upon the Money Market have recently shown that money is be- coming scarcer, and consequently dearer, and that discount rates are also rising. This movement, however, is quite Boasonal and in all probability the market will return to easy conditions agam in January,

A neat waterproof. cape and hood for little Betty, a warm double-breasted overcoat for Willie, a smart knicker suit or jersey for Clifford. These suggestions carry the Yuletide spirit to the domestic hearth, nnd further, we like the suggestion that st Merry, Merry Christmas will be enjoyed if a visit is paid to Penhale's. Messrs.

SECONDARY EDUCATION.I
SECONDARY EDUCATION. I Important Conference to be Held I at Swansea. Tlw third conterenee ot the series or which the Departmental Committee, ap- pointed to consider the question of the organisation of secondary education in Wales has arranged to hold at various centres in the Principality, will be held at Swansea on the Pth January, and the commodious Llewelyn Tlall in the Y.M.C.A. Buildings, St. Helen's-rofld, has beer, secured "for the purpo.se. The object of flip conferences is to public opinion at first hand in regard to various matters which are within the terms of reference to the Depart mental Committee, and with a view to facilitating discussion and directing it into useful channels, several persons who are promi- nent in education circles in South nles will contribute their views, after wbieh the conference, both at the morning ses- sion, which will commence at 10.15, and at the afternoon session at 2 o'clock. will take the form of a fun and free discus- sion by the general public. to whom a hearty invitation to attend i- extended. The conferences already held at Cardiff and Rhyl showed clearly that considerable interest is being taken in th", question, which, of course, is one vitally affecting the future of secondary education in Wales, and it is liopod that the same in- terest will be displayed in the forthcom- ing conference at Swansea, which in the morning -will he presided over by the Mayor (Alderman Alex. Sinclair), and in the afternoon by the Chairman of the Glamorgan County Council (Alderman ILopkin Morgan. C.B.E., of Neath). It is the intention of the members of the Departmental Committee to attend as at- tho previour. conferences.

SIDNEY HEATH. .1 On our round of the Shops, we must, say that this firm stand out alone for the artistic beaty of their window displays. We have sometimes wondered if we shall ever get back to the beautiful things of pre-war days, but even in pre-war times we do not remember such a wonderful array as our eyes now behold in the win- dows of this firm who are always famous for their artistic visions."

To-day tho Prime Minister is to nyike his statement on the Government plans in regard to Ireland.

A DISAPPOINTMENT.t
A DISAPPOINTMENT. t Much disappointment was felt at Pon- tardawe on Sautrday through the failure of the Clydach and Glais team to turn up to fulfil the return fixture. The POll- tardawe players were in readiness in good time, and waited patiently until four o'clock, but the visitors failed to turn up, and not a word was received to the effect that they were unable to make the journey.
I WATCHES FOR GUESSES. f
I WATCHES FOR GUESSES. f There was keen competition for the watches offered by Mr. Edwin Ilall, of St. Helens-road Swansea, for forecasts of the result of Swansea Town v. Gillinghsm [r. Hall a?ked Pf\lldron o' to make a selection from the forecasts eent i-n, be- cause some of tlit* competitors were run- ning almost neck and neck. The result is that, a watch will be presented to a competitor who predicted 1—0 in favour of Swansea at half-time, and another goes to a competitor who gave Swansea, to win by a goal. Nobody gave the correct result. Mr. Hall is offering watches for half- time and final forecasts in to-morrow's re-play.

I The concert and draniatic entertainment arranged by the Swansea Municipal Secondary School, and which took place at the Oxford-street Schools, showed that the students of the school were quite as prominent in amateur acting and enter- tainment as in sports and athletics. There Was quite a good attendance, and the chief item on the programme was a short drama of the French school. Everybody who contributed to the, pro- gramme did so well that it would be in- vidious to distinguish.

jFAIRY LIGHTS USED.I
FAIRY LIGHTS USED. I Pretty Effect of Port Talbot Strike. I The strike of the gas-workers at Port Talbot and Aheravon was felt immedi- ately, at Port Talbot particularly. The men came out at 2 on Friday, and by 12 on Saturday the gas supply was com- pletely out, and as the day was dull, candles and lamps had to be ]it in the shops. In the evening all the shop windows were decked with candles, night lights and fairy lamps, giving quite an old-time Christmas touch. About seven o'clock. however. the gas flickered back, the men having returned at two o'clock, pending negotiations. At Port Talbot the demand for gas is more than can well be supplied by the present works, and immediate extension is proiwed. Aberavon fared a little better. The gas remained on, but at low pressure.
