LOCAL FOOTBALL. BARRY DISTRICT v. CADOXTON ROVERS. These teams met in a Cardiff and District League match on Saturday afternoon last at the Buttrills Field. Barry. The Rovers started from the Cadoxton end, and their goal was invaded by the District several times, the District experiencing hard lines in not scoring. A penalty kick was awarded the Rovers, but Basil Lewis failed to score. The game considerably tamed down, both sides making big mistakes in their play. After playing around the Rovers' goal for some time, E. Melvin scored for the District, this being soon followed by another by Albert Germyn. Half time score :-Barry District, two goals Cadoxton Rovers, nil. The second half opened well. and both goals were attacked in turn, but without success. At length Albert Germyn scored with a fine long shot. Just before the call of time "Chip" Germyn and P. Evans also scored. Final score :-Barry District, five goals Cadoxton Rovers, nil. The game was not so one-sided as the score indicates. Both sides had an equal share of the encounter, but each team showed weakness when in proximity of goal. On the whole, however, the District were the better team, and deserved to win. CAERPHILLY v. DINAS POWIS, R.F.C. Played at Caerphilly on Saturday last. The homesters pressed throughout the first half, and, with one exception, the visitors failed to cross the half-way. Though the visiting defence was keen, and their superiority in the scrums evident, they were not equal to their chances. Half-tima score, Caerphilly, two tries Dinas Powis, nil. The visitors played vigorously, and their halves initiated several dangerous rushes, one of their forwards being brought down in the nick of time by the home custodian. Final score .—Caerphilly, two tries Dinas Powis, nil. BARRY AND PENARTH SCHOOLS LEAGUE. Four matches w-i-e played on Saturday last in connection with tli > Barry and Penarth Associa- tion Schools Le; gne, the following being the results Cogan, three goals; Holton-road (Barry Dock), one. Hannah street (Cadoxton), five goals St. Helen's (Barry Docks), two. Barry County School, one goal; Clive-road (Barry Island), one. Barry, four goals Cadoxton, nil. BARRY DOCK UNITED V. DINAS POWIS A.F.C. —This match was played at Dinas Powis on Satur- day last. The United started, and immediately took up the attack, some good but ineffective shots being sent in. W. Ruckley eventually got away, and scored a soft goal. Another quickly followed, obtained by the same player. The home team now had a share of play, and all but scored, Wride saving in the nick of time. Both teams tried their utmost to score, but without avail. Play slackened down, and each goal was visited in turn. The visiting right wing broke away, and J. Derrick scored a pretty goal. With half time fast approahing, both teams played well, but neither side could do the needful. Half-time score Barry Dock United, three goals Dinas Powis, nil. On the re-start the visitors went away with a bang, and from a splendid centre A. Dadds scored. The Powis lads now attacked, and had hard lines in not scoring, the ball going a little too high. This woke the Barryites up, and from a melee in front I of the home goal, Derrick again scored. With a score of five goals to nil against them, the villagers began to lose heart, and F. Taylor scored a further goal for the United, his first of the season. With about five minutes to run, the United played their best, but could not add to their score. No side was now called, leaving the United victors by six goals to nil. Without a doubt the visiting team would have added considerably to their score, had Friis not played such a great game as he did in goal for Dinas Powis. ST. MARY'S UNITED v. COGAN OLD BOYS.— This match was played at Penarth on Saturday laat. Two minutes from the kick off, W. Abbott scored for the United. Cogan tried hard to equalise, but found the defence impenetrable. The visitors went away with fine passing, and a second goal was added by P. Adams. Cogan broke the fine defence of the United, and Godfrey put through for them. For a short time the St. Mary's backs had a warm time, but they proved equal to the occasion, and cleared finely. F. Jones scored after desultory play. St. Mary's now attacked up till the interval, and goals were added by W. Abbott, P. Adams, and F. Jones. Cogan started the second half five goals in arrears, and went away in real ernest. The Cogan defence being a lot better than their opponents, shot after shot was saved by their goal-keeper. P, Adams, F. Jones, and W. Abbott were the only scorers in this half. The score by no means indicates the nature of the play Cogan had a good part of the game, but tried to do great things. Final score :-St. Mary's eight goals Cogan, nil. Tea was afterwards partaken of at the Queen's Resturant. BARRY OLD Boys v.

+" < t f To a Weary RstviSSt". Barry Housewife. jEs. & STRANGE CASE NERVOUS DEBILITY. I -= '11),1 I I I w )I One of the most languid weary women on Barry Island recently was the wife of the genial proprietor of Channel View Restuarant, Redbrink-crescent. Mrs Lottie Watts, had, however, enough cause to think life a burden, what with her wasting weakness, and inability to do any work without getting exhausted. Her condition was like that of hundreds of other women in South Wales and Dr Slater's Blood Making Tablets having now been the means of restoring her her old robust health- she tells her tale of trial for others guidance. So after leaving Hereford, six years ago," said Mra Watts, I began to feel altogether out-of-sorts, and suffered considerably from extreme nervousness and general debility. I could not get rid of the feeling of la&situde and desire to do nothing, I did not sleep at all at nights, and it was a veritable torture to lay there incapable of closing my eyes in sleep. Sometimes it was in consequence of shooting pains in my head, at others through a general nervous wearisomeness. After the death of my baby I was worse than ever, and had a nasty pain in my back. I could not summon a scrap of energy, and had to send for a friend to come and do my household work for me. The least effort made me thoroughly exhausted, and when mounting the stairs I would have to sit down half-way and rest. Sometimes I lounged about the hous weary and worn out; and when I got worse I kept to my bed for a few days. My appetite was very poor, and people in Barry Dock said amongst themselves when they noticed my pale, sunken cheeks, how quickly and surely I was wasting away. I have known the time when I have been unable to touch a morsel of food, and had not a bit of colour anywhere-" "Did you never try anything to cure you ?" asked the reporter. Oh yes," was the reply, "I tried everything in the chemist's shop,} but medicines and pills were equally worthless in my case. Then a friend of mine told me how Dr Slater's Blood Making Tablets had done heru rheumatism good, and advised me to try them too. Though I had scarcely any faith left I thought I might ae well, there was juat the chance. ,1 I bought a box at Newman's in Holton-road, Barry Dock, and so much better did I begin to feel in myself that I went on taking them. I found1 I slept better, and did not wake up once the whole night. Then on getting up in the morning 1 was refreshed and active and by the end of tbe:J fourth box my headache had disappeared, and housework came as a pleasure instead of the torture it was before. Nor have I had any return of- those distressing symptons. In place of the debility is energy and strength and it would take a good deal more than a flight of stairs to take, away my breath now. Yes I am quite a different woman, and the people who saw me wasting are surprised at my rosy cheeks. Another thing' I am putting on weight, and have quite got rid of the terribly nervous feeling which always made me so afraid of being left in the house alone. 3 Dr Slater's Tablets are really a wonderful medicine, and they have cured me when my doctor and the chemists were hopeless. Every day now I am able to attend to the customers as well as my housework." ¡ .;) F ,tt .J Eury Cablet taken means | so much IICUJ Ricb, Red BlOOd. j ,or Dr Slater's Blood Making Tablets are at once a blood purifier, blood tonic, and nerve restorer; and it is because of their unique composition that they have been able to accomplish such cures as are constantly reported in the press.

LICENSING APPLICATIONS AT PENARTH. Major S. A. Brain was the only magistrate who put in an appearance at the regular hour on Wednesday last at Penarth Police Court, and it was nearly noon before a second justice arrived, when several temporary grants of transfers of hotel licenses were confirmed, that of the Barry Hotel being transferred from Miss Hicks to Miss O'Hara; and that of the Penarth Masonic Buildings from Mr J. W. Johnson to Mr H. J. Gethin.

I BARRY PUBLIC LIBRARIES COMMITTEE. The monthly meeting of the Barry Public Libraries Committee was held on Friday evening last, the members in attendance being Mr D. W. Roberts (chairman). Councillors J. Arthur Hughes. J. Milward, W. Paterson. J. A. Manaton, and James Jones, Dr W. Lloyd Edwards, Messrs J. O. Davies. and John Jones.-The Librarian (Mr J.

Mr Milward proposed, and Mr J. Jones seconded, that the com- mittee approach the District Council with the view of obtaining a site near the Royal Hotel. An amendment was, however, moved by Mr Manaton, and seconded by Mr James Jones, that the matter be deferred for three months, and that in the meantime the librarian at various times take the number of persona using the existing rooms.- The majority of the Committee differed from Mr Manaton, and thought that both ends of the town should be treated alike, the library rate being paid by the inhabitants of the whole district.—On a division six voted for the original motion, and two against.-—Mr J. C. Pardoe, surveyor to the Council, was asked to prepare a report on the question of levelling the proposed site opposite the Royal Hotel.

BARRY DISTRICT RATEPAYERS' ASSOCIATION, The monthly meeting of the Barry Ratepayers' Aasociation was held on Tuesday evening last, Mr T. Evans, president, in the chair. The attendance was again small. It was again decided to protest by by deputa- tion against an increase of salary to the collector's staff of the Barry District Council. It was decided to appeal to the Board of Trade, through Colonel Wyndham-Quin, M.P., and the District Council, to proceed with the erection of the permanent Board of Trade Offices in Dock View-road. The meeting also considered at length the Education Bill of the Government from a rate- payer's standpoint.—Mr S. R. Jones, in opening said if the Bill became law the Roman Catholic School would cost the town annually about £ 1,500, and that by the education rate being levied upon the general district rate and not upon the poor rate, the rates would be increased by about 8d in the £ .—Several members spoke, and considered that the Bill for giving unfairly large doles to the railway and dock companies.

HOSPITAL COMMITTEE. Dr P. J. O'Donnell, in the absence of Dr E. Trehartie, presided at the monthly meeting of the fHospital Committee of the Barry Urban District Council held at the Accident Hospital, Kingsland- <creecent, Barry Docks, on Thursday, the 30th instant. There were also present, Mr J. Arthur Hughes and Dr N. J. Northey Bray. Miss Aldred, the lady superintendent, submitted her monthly report, which showed that the number of patients remaining in the hospital up to September 30th was four, admitted during October two, remaining in hospital up to October 30th four. It was decided to askDr Treharne to look through the wards in the hospital, and see where it was necessary to have extra light, and to instruct the Surveyor to attend to the matter. The tender of Mr T. Griffin, at £3 10s, was accepted for cutting the hair and shaving patients in the hospital until May 31st next, this being the only tender sent in.

PUBLIC HEALTH COMMITTEE. FRICTION WITH THE ENGINEER OF THE FIRE STATION. The monthly meeting of the Health Committee was held the same afternoon, when the members present were Dr P. J. O'Donnell (chairman), Mr J. Arthur Hughes, Mr W. Paterson, and Mr J. Milward. The reports of the Town Sanitary Inspector (Mr S. B. Sommerfield) and Port Sanitary Inspector (Mr W. J. Hopkins) showed that the town and port were in a satisfactory sanitary condition.—Mr Sommerfield also informed the Committee that the reason why he had not presented a report with respect to slaughtering in a shed at Barry was because he was under the impression that the Chairman would have done so. He also reported that there were six infected houses in the district, and seven houses had been disinfected during the month. The Inspector was instructed to take proceedings in a case of milk adulteration. A report was presented by the Port Sanitary Inspector with reference to urinal accommodation at workshops on the dock side, and the Clerk was instructed to give the necessary notice to provide the same to the Barry Graving Dock and Engineer- ing Company, the Central Marine Company, and to Mr Luen, of the Electrical Saw Mills. The County Council wrote intimating that the Port Sanitary Inspector was appointed a constable under the Diseases Ast, but that the police should institute all legal proceedings.—Mr Hopkins said it was not fair that he should play second fiddle to the police.—The Chairman I will undertake to see Mr Franklyn, so that there shall be no friotion. The Inspector was ordered to serve notices to abate the nuisance in connection with the smoke arising from the chimney of Cadoxton Steam Laundry.. Several letters and copy of resolution were received from the lo-al Engineers' Society of the district requesting the Committee to withdraw certain remarks made at the last meeting with reference to Mr Hutton, the engineer of the Fire Engine Station, and asking that he be made directly responsible to the Council also that all repairs be done under his supervision.—The Chair- man said he had asked the Clerk to ask Mr Hutton to come to the meeting.—Mr Hutton, in reply to the Chairman, said that when he was appointed he was asked if he would supervise all repairs, and this he was prepared to do.—With reference to the complaint made at the last meeting, Mr Hutton said he had been told that Mr Wakeham complained that he was called to see the repairs to the No. 2 Steam Road Roller.—The Chairman Mr Hutton has come in conflict with all he has come in contact with, members of the committee, the superintendent of police, the police, Mr Wakeham, and now it is the Committee as a body that are found fault with. Mr Hutton should state definitely .what complaints he had to make.—Mr Hughes May I ask Mr Hutton a few questions ?-The Chairman Yes, certainly.—Mr Hughes The Council asked you when appointed if you would do any repairs to the engines ?-No, sir: only supervise.—Mr Hutton further stated that he was called to do a job to the steam-road roller. He took particulars and called at Mr Pardoe's office to give an order for a new cross head, but was not called to see it when fixed, and he was told Mr Wakeham complained that he (Mr Hutton) was called to see the work done. Nothing, he maintanied, had been done in ,contravention to his trades union rules.-The Chairman said his impression was that Mr Hutton was asked when appointed if he would do repairs, and he replied Yea."—-Mr Paterson That is so, and not supervise.—Mr Hutton said he was quite willing to do what was fair, but he should only take his orders direct from the Surveyor.—Mr Hughes Your society is of opinion that the Council has treated you harshly?- Mr Hutton That is not so.—The Surveyor said in fairness to Mr Wakeham and to the road roller driver, he must give a denial to what Mr Hutton had said.- Mr Hutton said he had put in a list of his duties which he was prepared to do, and this list the Committee agreed to consider at the next meeting. —It was also decided that in future Mr Hutton should take his orders in writing from the Surveyor, or his deputy.—Mr Milward said the difficulty arose through the engine driver fixing a certain bar.—The Surveyor Yes, and the screw- ing of a nut, and Mr Jose had informed him that there was nothing contrary to the trades union clause in that.—Mr Paterson said that what he intended to convey to the last meeting was that Mr Hutton was entirely devoid of tact, and that his qualifications were too good for the class of work he was expected to do. The Medical Officer of Health (Dr Neale) was re-appointed for three years. Mr John Daniels, 11, Pyke-street, wrote thanking the Council for the kind and skilful treatment his wife had received while an inpatient of the Small Pox Hospital. „ It was decided to place a penny-m-the-slot telephone at the public abattor. The Chairman and Mr Milward were appointed ?to meet a deputation of the local Butchers' Associa- with reference to the erection of cattle stalls at the slaughter-house, The tender of Messrs G. Motton and Sons, at 945, was accepted for the erection of a mortuary at Barry Island. The Surveyor presented a report of the incan- descent lighting of public lamps, and at the next meeting the committee will consider the advisa- bility of lighting the whole town by incandescent ItgItwas decided to hold a special meeting of the committee to consider the question of the scaveng- ing of the town. The wages of Mr D. Rees, caretaker of the Small- pox Hospital, were increased from 27s 6d to 30s, with 16s extra per week, instead of 10s, when there were patients at the hospital. The Committed consented to purchase two acres of land near Cwm-Barry Farm for permanent allotments.

FINANCE COMMITTEE. RATEPAYER MAKES A COMPLAINT. The Finance Committee met on Friday after- noon last, when there were present Mr J. Arthur Hughes (chairman), Alderman J. C. Meggitt, J.P., Mr J. Milward, Mr J. L. Davies, Mr James Jones, and Mr E. Williams. — The monthly accounts were presented and passed for payment at the next monthly meeting of the Council.—The books of the various officials were also inspected.. Mr Milward expressed surprise that the Public Works Committee should have approved of the private improvements in the Hayes-road, Sully, but was informed that he should bring the question up at the Council meeting. The treasurer's statement showed there was due to the bank 22,708 on the general account; due on the loan account, B5 118 9d; the accounts for the month on the general account amounted to 3 004 due to the treasurer on the gas and water general account, L3,367 due from treasurer on gas and water loans, £ 8,023; bills for the month, £ 1,172; so that after paying all accounts the sum of £ 2,894 would be due to the treasurer. Mr John Jones, Holton-road, attended with reference to a complaint he had to make against the collector. He attended, he said, at the rate office and presented a cheque for 217 10s on account of rates, but this Mr Lewis put to other accounts due. Mr Lewis also dated the receipt for the 1st of October, whereas the cheque was not dated until the 2nd of October. He subse- quently tendered the balance, but Mr Lewis refused to accept it.—Mr Lewis stated that Mr Jones presented to him on the 29th of September a post-dated cheque. This he put to the gas and water account, and ,the balance to the rates account. Mr Jones and his son subsequently called and offered to pay the gas and water account, but were informed that this could not be done, inasmuch as Mr Jones already had receipts for the gas and water, but he would accept the amount on account of the rates.—The Chairman said when the Collector and Mr Jones came to him they agreed as to the balance owing by the latter. Mr Lewis had given reasonable notice to Mr Jones to pay his rates, and as he did not pay them he had to summon Mr Jones.—The Committee having heard the statements on both sides, felt there was a conflict of evidence, and were sorry that the misunderstanding had arisen. The Cardiff Corporation having declined to advance to the Council a sum of L7,500, at 3! per cent, interest, repayable in 50 years, it was decided to obtain the loan from the bank. The Secretary of the General Post Office wrote intimating that Pyke street Post Office would shortly be recognised as a telegraph office. The Ratepayers' Association wrote protesting against any increase of salary being made to any of the officials, but the Committee decided- to recommend the Council to accept, a graduated scale of salaries with respect to the clerks in the collectors' departments. It was reported that the sum of 15s 2d was due to the Council under the Agricultural Rating Act. The Chairman said he wished to bring before the Council the question of the Education Bill. As far as he understood Clause 13 of the Bill the money required for educational purposes in rural districts would be levied upon the poor rate. The same applied to boroughs, but for some reason or other in urban districts it would be levied upon the general district rate, and in this district it would mean an increase of 8d or 9d upon the rates, and would relieve the Barry Company of about £5,000 a year, the burden of the educational rate falling upon the poorer classes in the town. Ife had written to Colonel Wyndham-Quin on the matter, and the Parliamentary representative of South Glamorgan had replied intimating that he would bring the matter before the Prime Minister in the hope of having clause 13 repealed.—On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr Milward, it was resolved to ask the Prime Minister to so alter cluse 13 so that the new educational rate might be levid uniformily upon the poor rate in all contributing districts.

On the oecasion of the Barry District v. Cadoxton Rovers match last Saturday, the grand stand at the Buttrills Field was packed with Soccer enthusiasts. Barry District will meet Cardiff Albions next Saturday, when it is hoped they will come off, as they did last Saturday, winners. A. Friis, of the Barry Dock United, played a fine game in goal for Dinas Powis A.F.C. last Saturday, which should go a long way towards again secur- ing for him his inclusion in the eleven. ♦ » After a spell of three successive away matches, Dinas Powis seniors will meet Penarth United in a home encounter next Saturday. » # So far the Dinas Powis seniors and juniors share their joys and sorrows evenly. Last Saturday week both teams won, last Saturday both lost, the former falling a victim to Caerphilly cheese and the latter to Dinas coal. # Kemp's United were prudent not to come to Barry last Saturday. When the Barry Dock Albions went to Cardiff theybe at them by thirteen goals to love. • If the Kemps have not immensely improved, there is no doubt that it would have only been a shooting practice for the Albions. The Barry Wyndhams have got a goal-keeper at last, in Jack Tipples, of the Cadoxton Albions. S W. Britton, full back, and A. Wyman, inside left, of the Barry Windsors, have thrown in their lot with the Barry Wyndhams. ♦ Dick Grant and Charlie Paul played a dashing game for the Wyndhams against Canton United last Saturday, as also did Arthur Chaplin.
