BLOOD SPITTING AND WEAK LUNGS. DOCTORS FAILED. CURED BY VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. Mr CLARK, 811, Govan-road, Govan, N.B., writes I have been suffering many years with chronic bronchitis and asthma. For a long time I was in a low state, having been weakened by continual vomiting' and spitting of blood. In July last I commenced taking VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE; I had then been off work six months. The first dose gave me relief, and I rapidly improved. I am now cured, enjoying good health, quite a new man every- body is surprised. I breathe freely, my cough and vomiting is stopped. I cannot realise after so much doctoring and suffering how your Cough Cure has cured me so quickly." VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE is the most efficient remedy procurable for coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma, catarrh, weak lungs, and children's coughs. 9d, Is lid, and 2s 9d, at Chemists everywhere.

LABOUR LOST. The oarsman was rowing a young girl on a deep, still river. It was a beautiful day, but perhaps a little w&rm. The young man pulled and pulled, but he was going up stream, and he made little headway. So he pulled the harder, at the same time trying to appear easy, and to carry on a fluent conversation with his com- panion. Finally, however, he became desperate, for, though he was working like a steam-engine, he was not gaining an inch. At this rate it would be better to get out and walk home. "I never saw anything like this current," he gasped. "Here I've been rowing my hardest for ten minutes, and we don't seem to have moved a foot." Ten or twelve minutes more went by, and then th", young girl said: "Oh, by the way, I have just thought of some- thing. While I was playing with the anchor a while ago it dropped overboard. Do you sup- pose it could have caught on something?"

WITHOUT A LIGHT. A small boy-cyclist was riding without a lighi and was stopped by a policeman, who asked him in gruff tones where his light was. "Why, it's here," exclaimed the rider, in sur- prise. Yes, but it's out," solemnly asserted the patrolman. "Well, it was lighted at that last turn." Why, it's cold couldn't have been lighted this evening," triumphantly announced the officer. "Huh! That thin metal cools in a minute. I'll light the lamp and wait until it gets red- hot, put it out, then ride to the next corner and back, and when I return it'll be cold." "All right; try it," assented the policeman. The boy lighted the lantern, waited until it grew red-hot, turned it out, and started, and he ha not returned yet.

THEORY AND PRACTICE. "Young gentleman," said the lecturer in chemistry, "coal exposed to the elements loses 10 per cent, of its weight and power. This i? due to the action of the alkali constituents of "But what if there is a dog sleeping near the ecal, Professor?" "None of your levity, young man. This is a serious matter." "That's what dad thought when 72 per cent. of bi. coal disappeared during three nights of ex- posure. Then he asked my advice, as a student in chemistry, and I told him to buy a dog. He bought a dog, and now we don't lose 1 per cent, of our coal a month. That's practical chemistry."

pasgpyw The nicest Cocoa^k is (CADSURlf \r cocoa/ FIRST AND FOREMOST. Cadbury's cocoa comes first among food beverages because it is very closely allied to milk in its composition. There is really little to choose between Cadbury's absolutely pure cocoa essence and milk.—It is highly nourish- ing, and as a daily beverage for growing children and adults at all periods of life it is unexcelled. Cocoa prepared in the Cadbury way is rich and in the highest degree strengthening and invig- orating, yet so refined as to be digested with ease by the most delicate stomach. "Health" says-" Cadbury's has in a remarkable degree those natural elements of sustenance which give the system endurance and hardihood, building up muscle and bodily vigour with a steady action it is a most reliable beverage."

I CADOXTON-BARRY CHURCH LEAGUE. ADDRESS BY COUNCILLOR LOVAT- FRASER ON "JOHN WESLEY". One of the most interesting lectures of the closing session of the Cadoxton-Barry Church League, was that delivered by Councillor J. A. Lovat-Fraser, M.A., B.A.L., on John Wesley," at the weekly meeting on Monday evening last, at Barry-road Mission Room, Cadoxton. The Rev L. J. James, M.A., occupied the chair, and before the address moved a vote of deep sympathy with the Rev J. S Longdon, M.A. (rector), and Mrs Longdon in the Bad bereavement which had befallen them. Councillor Lovat-Fraser seconded, and the vote was carried by all by standing.—In the course of his address, Councillor Lovat-Fraser said John Wesley was a Churchman — a very different person from what Wesleyans of to-day would have us believe. He was one of the most interesting figure in the Church of England, and people nowadays were too apt, unfortunately, to look at him through the spectacles of modern Wesleyanism. He should be considered as a priest of the Church, and his last message to his followers was an entreaty never to separate from the Church of England. At the age of twenty-six, together with his brother Charles and two other friends, John Wesley formed a small society, and they were immediately termed Methodists, and it is from this small society that the rise of Wesleyan Methodism can be traced. After returning from a disappointing visit to Georgia, America, Wesley commenced that famous incessant round of itinerant preaching, and in the subsequent fifty years of his life he travelled 225,000 miles, and preached over 40,000 sermons, often to open-air congregations of upwards of 20,000. At these meetings manifestations occurred similar to those witnessed at the recent Welsh revival, and people occasionally fell to the ground in convulsions. Wesley visited this part of South Wales frequently, and was a fast friend of Howell Harris, the Welsh evangelist. He also visited the family of Jones, of Fonmon Castle, and to this day there is a room in Fontigary Farm which Wesley had invariably used when visiting these parts. As Wesley became an old man, he was treated with affectionate regard on all hands, but he was guilty of a serious devia- tion from the laws of the Church, for which, however, he was not to be strongly condemned. Together with two other priests he took upon him- self the duty of ordaining two men to go as priests to North America, contrary to the laws of the Church of England, and his action was severely criticised and condemned. Throughout his life John Wesley taught broad mindedness in Church principles, and cultivated a spirit of charity towards those with whom he did not agree. (Appla,n.ie.)-The Chairman, Mr W. Phillips, and Mr W. Harper took part in an interesting dis- cussion, and Mr Lovat-Fraser was cordially thanked for his able address.

RHEUMATIC ERUPTIONS. SKIN-TORTURE ADDED TO BODILY PAIN—ZAM-BUK CURES. A very bad form of skin disease, usually caused by the presence of acid in the perspiration, or the use of crude embrocations containing harmful mineral products, often attacks rheumatic subjects. Rheumatism is particularly prevalent just now, owing to the bad weather, and it is well to note that, beside curing the eruptions, Zam-Buk is invaluable for the rheumy pains themselves. Mr Henry Savage, miner, of 57, Brassey Street Alfreton Road, Nottingham, says:—"For about eight years I was on and off my club owing to this sickness. My skin was in a terrible state, particularly about the left leg. It was one mass of sores from knee to ankle, and the agony was fearful' I often had to ride about, and was once laid up four months at a Btretch I had treatment both privately and at the hospital. The doctor said the sores were due to rheumatism in the bone. and gave me some lotions to use. These did not appear to give me relief, however, and I resorted to Zam-Buk. The doctor appeared sceptial, but when I told him I was actually feeling better, he said Well go on with itif you like.' Iperservered with Zam-Buk, and, although I had just been ten weeks off work while under other treatment, I was fit to start work again within a fortnight after begining to use Zam-Buk. Zim-Buk did more for me than the hospital and doctors put together. I can now get a quiet night's rest as a regular thing, my skin is healthy, the irritation has disappeared, and I can walk about quite comfortably." Zam-Buk cures rheumatic eruptions, rashes, chronic sores, scabbing and scaling skin, eczema, ulcers, bad legs, diseased ankles, sore backs, poisoned or festering sores, piles, scalp lirritatiOn, chapped hands, chilbains, chill abscesses, boils, pimples, ringworm, running sores, stiffness, cuts. bruises, burns, scalds, scratches, sprains, rheumatism, and all aches and pains. All chemists sell Zam-Buk in I/Ii and 2/9 boxes (2/9 size con- tains nearly four times as much as the Ill!); or it may be obtained post free from the Zam-Buk Co., Red Cross-street, London, E.C.

BARRY INDEPENDENT LABOUR PARTY. During the past week Mr W. Trainer (Leeds), I.L.P. organiser, has been in the Barry district fulfilling a week's engagement with the local branch, with the result that a considerable amount of interest in the aims and objects of the party has been aroused, as also a corresponding increase of membership. At the Regent Hall on Sunday evening, Mr H. Davies (Cwmavon) gave an earnest and thought- ful address on Why an Independent Labour Party 1" In the course of his remarks, the lecturer stated that after many years of Liberal and Tory rule, the conditions of life at present obtaining amongst the great mass of the people was deplorable, and would continue so as long as the workers allowed their affairs to be mani- pulated by party politicians. When they, as workers, realised the fact that they possessed 70 percent, of the voting strength of the Kingdom, and utilised their power to return independent labour members to Parliament, they would soon put an end to the present disastrous state of things. He advised them to drop Liberalism and Toryism, which were very much the same thing, to cease voting against each other as at present, and thus neutralising their o"-n votes, and vote solid for labour candidates pledged to a policy of absolute independ- ence towards both the present great political parties. — An animated discussion followed, the lecturer replying in a most satisfactory manner. Next Sunday Mr J. A. Kelly will give an address on the unemployed question.

BARRY HARRIERS. TEAM SELECTED FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP. About twenty members of the Barry Harriers' Club travelled over the Wenvoe course on Saturday afternoon last, the run being for the club championship. E. W. O'Donnell was the winner, his time being 43mins. llsecs., D. Garrett coming second. The harriers were obliged to walk some diatance owing to a passing funeral, otherwise a record time would have been established. In the handicap 1. Reece came first. D. Davies seoond, and W. Litchfield third. The Barry team was then selected to compete for the Welsh Cross-country Junior Championship at Ely on March 3rd, as follows :—D. Garrett, T. Bunford, S. Davies, I. Reece, T. Watson. A. G. Pike, H. Cox, A. Copp, W. McIntosh, W. Abbott, D. Rogrs, and T. Griffiths. Reserve-W. Litchfield, J. Williams, and G. Williams. Next Saturday the Harriers will be photographed at the County School, and will afterwards train at the recreation grounds.

j BARRY DOCK MALE VOICE CHOIR. THIRD ANNUAL CONCERT AT THE ROMILLY HALL. Scarcely four years have passed by since a move- ment was set on foot by a small band of enthusias- tic singers to form a good male voice party, and although such a short period has elapsed, the Barry Dock Male Voice Choir is to-day regarded as one of the standing institutions of the town. This distinction they have gained by sheer merit, and thoroughly deserved the flattering words of praise, appreciation, and congratulation which were showered upon them at their third annual concert at the Romilly Hall, Barry, on Wednesday evening, the 14th instant. The members have been bard at practice for a couple of months, and Mr D. J. Thomas, the popular conductor, has every reason to be proud of the remarkable success which has crowned his efforts, and the efforts also of those under his direction. Determined to make the concert thoroughly worthy of the high reputation of the ohoir, the services of some of the leading artistes in South Wales were secured, and a better choice could not have been made. They were as follow :—Soprano, Miss Maggie Morris. Tonyrefail (who has won over 100 prizes, including seven "nationals"); tenor Mr Richard Thomas, Llanelly (who has a first-class artistic reputation) baritone, Mr Emlyn Davies, R..A.M. (one of the most popular of Welsh singers) and violinist, Mr Arthur Angle, Cardiff. Mr J. M. Lloyd, Barry, presided at the piano. When the choir rose for the opening chorus, c: On the Ramparts (Saintis), the hall was full. The choir sang well, and with a delightful swing, and the inspiriting chorus had the effect of making the audience enthusiastic right at the outset. Mr R. Thomas sang the ever popular Come into the garden, Maud," and his rich tenor voice was much admired. There was a loud outburst of applause when Miss Maggie Morris appeared, and she very sweetly rendered "Softly sighs the voice of evening," and in reply to a unanimous encore, gave a humorous ditty, My Husband." This was not Mr Emlyn Davies' first bow to a Barry audience, and the hearty applause with which he was greeted testified to his undoubted popularity. He sang with feeling and pathos c. The Bugler," and ere the strains had died away there were loud cries of c. encore from all parts of the hall. In response, Mr Davies sang a Welsh song. The abilities of Mr Arthur Angle as a cultured violinist are known throughout the Principality, and the audience were not slow to recognise his talent, his masterly renderings of Mozkowski's Serenata and Humoresken (Dvorak) gained unstinted applause and re- demands. Miss Morris and Mr R. Thomas sang the duet, A Night in Venice." The serenade, Sleep, dear one, Sleep (T. D. Edwards), was given by the Choir for the first time at Barry, and by way of encore they sang the martial chorus, i, The Crusaders." One of the best items of the evening was next heard, Mr Emlyn Davies excelling himself in the song Devotion." The inevitable re-demand followed, and Mr Davies brought to a close the first part of the programme with the lively song, Hulloa." Clay thimeelf could not have wished for a more perfect interpretation of his composition, She wandered down the mountain side," than that given by Miss Morris as the open- ing song of the second part, and the Choir followed with the part song, .1 In absence," which was equally well received. The next item, The Key-note," was of more than ordinary interest, inasmuch as the composer of the music is Mr J. M. Lloyd, the pianist of the concert. Mr R. Thomas sang the piece to perfection, and a spon- taneous outburst of cheering followed the render- ing, and both Mr Lloyd and Mr Thomas repeatedly bowed their acknowledgments, but the audience were not satisfied until the song had been repeated. Glorious Devon was sung by Mr Emlyn Davies to the great delight of all, and he replied with an appropriate Welsh air. Mr Arthur Angle was again recalled for his execution of the violin solo, Hungarian Dance (Francia) and then Miss Morris and Messrs Thomas and Davies sang in delightful harmony h This magic wove scarf," which was one of the best items of the evening. The Choir were heard at their best in the Concluding chorus, Crossing the Plain," which, Although of a somewhat difficult character, was finely sung, and the National Anthem," led by the Choir, followed. Rarely indeed has a concert of such musical excellence been given at Barry, tind without exception the artistes and choir excelled themselves. Naturally the arrangements for such an event are of an arduous and responsible character, but Mr D. H. Morris performed his duties as secretary with great credit and gave entire satisfaction.

——. SEAMEN'S GRIEVANCES AND THEIR REMEDY. MASS MEETING OF MEN AT BARRY DOCKS. With the object of strengthening the branch at Barry of the National Sailors and Firemen's Union, a mass meeting of seafarers was held under its auspices at the Castle Hotel, Barry Docks, on Tuesday evening last, a gratifying number being present. Mr S. Reary presided, and in the course of tin able and stimulating address, Mr E. Cathery, the general secretary of the Union, urged that if there was to be a preference at all on British ships, that preference should unquestionably be given to British sailors. Mr Havelock Wilson, M.P., hoped in the present Parliament to secure the passing of a Bill to prevent ships paying off English crews on the Continent, and engaging foreigners at 15s a month cheaper than our own sailors. (Applause.) The eighty-four Irish members in the House of Commons had promised to strenuously support any motion that might be introduced for the extension of the Workmen's Compensation Act to include seamen, and things were looking healthier and better now for the life of the men on board ship than at any other period since the formation of the Union. (Applause.) Mr G. Jackson, Newport, strongly condemned the food supplied to sailors when at sea, and a Food Scale Bill must be promoted in Parliament, compelling shipowners to feed their men in a Christian and humane manner. In advocating the benefits of the Union, Mr Jackson said that 75,000 men were now organised, and A3,000,000 had been paid in increased wages. (Cheers.) Mr J. Mace, who was formerly secretary at Barry, moved a vote of confidence in the Union and its leader (Mr J. Havelock Wilson, M.P.), and also pledging themselves to give all the assistance in their power to the officials in their efforts to secure urgent and necessary reforms to make the lives of the seafarers more humane and attractive. Mr J. Hogan seconded, and the vote was unani- mously carried, the terms of the resolution to be conveyed to Mr Havelook Wilson in the House of Commons.

Dropsy, Bright's Disease, and Heart Weakness. UNABLE TO WORK FOR 32 WEEKS. CURED BY VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC. Mr JOHN MACMILLAN, 15, Commercial-street, Bridgend, Perth, writes, June 30th, 1905:—"At the beginning of June, 1904, I got a severe chill on the kidneys, and after a long attendance of two doctors, I was told it was Bright's disease. I had also great weakness of the heart, and suffered terribly from dropsy. When the first doctor stopped coming, we sent for another, but he had not been attending me long, when he said there was not much' hope so I stopped his treatment, and took VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC. That was in February last; since then it has done for me what, two doctors did not do in nearly a year. I was off work 32 weeks, but I am now able to continue my work daily, and I am about as well as ever I was, except for a little swelling in the legs." VENa's SEAWEED TONIC for purity and all-round potency has not its equal anywhere for kidney troubles, stomach, liver, and blood diseases; it strengthens, regulates, and restores the body to a healthy and vigorous state. Especially good for chronic constipation, indigestion, and all kidney and heart affections. Price Is lid and 2s 9d, at Chemists everywhere.

BARRY EVENING CLASSES. A meeting of Barry Evening Classes Committee was held on Friday evening last, the Rev Ben Evans (chairman) presiding. The other members present were Miss E. P. Hughes, M.A., Mrs J. Rocb, Councillors J. A. Manaton, J.P., W. R. Lee, D. Morgan, and Dr Sixsmith, Mr J. O. Davies, and Mr D. W. Robeats, with Mr R. Treharne Rees (clerk.) Miss Hughes proposed that towards the end of the session a social be held for the Committee, pupils who had attended the Technical classes sufficient times to obtain grants, pupils of the continuation classes above the age of 17, and the whole of the teachers of the evening classes.—The clerk stated that there were on an average. 559 pupils attending the technical classes.—It was explained that it was intended to hold a public meeting at the commencement of the next session for the distribution of certificates, &c.—Miss Hughes' motion was agreed to, arrangements for the social being left to the sub-committee. The Clerk reported that the attendance at most of the evening continuation schools was declining, and in several cases it was suggested that the t schools be closed. The teachers attributed this falling off to an extent to the general election.— The Chairman said the struggle was an uphill one, but he hoped to see the continuation classes well attended and flourishing next session.—At the suggestion of the teachers, it was agreed to close the evening continuation classes in March. The Clerk also stated that there were 949 pupils on the registers of the technical classes, and 290 pupils on the registers of the evening continuation classes, making 1,239, which was larger than on any previous occasion. Miss Griffiths was appointed assistant of the dressmaking class. This was the principal business.

A COMPLICATION OF DISEASES. 56, Farm-street, Hockley, Birmingham. Gentlemen,—My wife has suffered from a complication of diseases for upwards of ten years, such as Indigestion, Sick Headache, Dimness of sight.

HIGHLY .EDOR:3ED.-Ï.,aciy: >vnere is rna agent for these fiats? Man at door: I can let the flats, mum." "Are the rents reasonable?" "Yes, mum." "V/hat sort of a janitor have you?" A very good one, mum." Is he polite and attentive?" "Yes, mum." "Honest?" "Yes, mum." "Doesn't he ever steal from the market tenants?" "Never, mum." "He's a good Christian man, is he?" "Yes, mum. A politer, more attentive, honester, or more Christian man never lived, mum." I am delighted to hear that. Where is he now ?" "I'm him, mum." "LIKE FATHER AND MOTHER."—A gentleman invited a certain lecturer to his house to take tea. Immediately on being seated at the table, a tittle daughter of the house said to the guest abruptly— "Where is your wife?" The lecturer, who had recently separated from his better half, was sur- prised and annoyed at the question, and stam- mered forth the truth-" I don't know." "Don't know!" repeated the child, "why don't you know ? Finding that the child persisted in her interrogations, despite the mild reproof of the parents, he decided to make a clean breast of the matter, and have it over at once, so he said with calmness—" Well, we don't live together. We think, as we can't agree, we'd better not." He stifled a groan as the child began again, and darted an exasperated look at her parents. But the little torment would not be quieted until she exclaimed Can't agree Then why don't, you fight it out, the same as father and mother do ? WAITING For. THE BIRD.—A small boy who had a great dislike for school returned home for dinner a little earlier than usual. Tommy, you naughty boy, you have been playing truant," said his mother. "A little dicky bird came in at the window and told me so." The next morning Tommy set out for school as usaal. During the morning his mother heard a noise from the far end of the kitchen, and looking round there saw Tommy crouched under the table. Tommy, you rascal, what are you doing there?" Seeing that he was discovered, he crawled out, and h iding up a brick which he had by him, said < I was waitin' to smash that dicky bird."
