BARRY 14R.C. PROTESTS. A meeting of the Bariry Labour Representation Committee was held om Thursday evening last, Mr. R. Stuart presiding.

DEFECTIVE DRAINING AND -SANITA- TION. A letter was retad from Councillor M. Nicho- las starting th-eire were two questions which would come before the District Council at the next meeting, the laying out of the parks at Cadoxton and Barry, aindi the appointment of inspector for .tihei purpose- of testing drains. The drains of the town weire described' as being in a deplorable condition, and something like 75 petr cent, wore defective. He (Mr. Nicholas) had opposed the laying out of the parks at pre- sent, bUlL had strongly supported th.e aippoiint- ment of drains inspector.—Mr. H. Richtards stated that the) samitary ,a,rrrungements in some parts of the- town were dreadful.—Mr. S. White pointed out thiait they could not compel owners of bonuses built before- the local (authority was formed to place flushing appliance^ in their houses, buit in ail cases since they should be enforced, and he moved a. resolution thaft the Labour membetrs be asked to enforce this, which was carried, Mr. S. MeCord urging thtat the Council should insist upon having practical ais welil as technical sanitary inspectors. Letters were- received from the, local biralnches A.S.R.S., submitting names of intending candi- dates for the- District Council election ntext yeiar. Lettters were read from several affiliated socijetMs resenting the action of the District Council din. not adopting, the names submitted by the L.R.C. for election on the, local Pensions Comimii^tete.—The Secretary (Mr. J. A. Kelly) said that a sub-comimiittee of the L.R.C. had ad- vised variiofus loca^l associations to write to the District Council1 protesting against their action, inaamucih sts it was frequently thought that the L.R.C. was a private body, amd ignored the fact that they represented ther organised labour of the town. The 'Secretary also stated that, in spite of the fact that the Local Government Board had dieclared 'that- there was, not sufficientune,m- ployment and distress in the town to warrant the est.abliishimen t of a labour bureau, the re- turns oin the registers of the unemployed placed in the reading rooms and other places in the town showed that there was a large amount of distress in the town. At the Centrail Library there were 45 names on the. register, and 55 names on the- register at Andrew's Coffee Tavern. In some cases rivettefrs bad been out of work for ten week, labourers fofr eight weeks, and many had been out of employment for three and tnoret weeks.

PECULIAR AMERICAN PLANT CURES COUGHS AND CHEST TROUBLES. Thej ejxtlraordiiniary healing properties of a little-known Ame ric ani plant used in, the com- position of Verio's Lightning Cough Cure, are testified to by the well-known analyst, W. Las- oelllies-Scott, F.S.Sc. (Loud.), who says:- "V.eIIl'O'S Lightning Cough Cure appears to owe its remarkable effectiveness, according to my analytical results, mainly to the joint action of certain salines and the fluid extract of a peculiar and little-known American plant. With this latter, however, I happen to be acquainted, and I regard tha combination referred to as a novel and ingenious one." Veino's L'jghtnin-g Cough Cure can be got for 9td., Is. and 2s. 9d., at all chemists.

REVIEW OF PUBLICATIONS. BUSINESS PROSPECTS YEAR BOOK FOR 1909. The third issue of the Business Prospeicts Year-Book," which, deals with the coming year, 1909, has just made its ap-pearance. The editors, Messrs. Joseph Davies and, C. P. Hadley, of Cardiff, have continiued on the, lines which proved so successful iiru the pa¡st two volumes, buit hiave treated the subjects rather more, fully, and the book, which has been increased in size and improved in, binding, is published by the Business Statistics Publishing Co., 12, James- street, Cardiff, at 5s. neitt. In the preface the authors stafte. thiat no claim is made that the opinions expressed] aire an,y more th-ani estimates, but that, whether a business man agrees or differs, the facts, the analyses, and the argu- ments cannot- fail to be of some, value in bring- ing beffore htitm new points or in suggesting fresh ideas which must add him in. shaping the course on which his success depends. Each article, is prefaced with a statement of the forecasts made in the- previous publiaations compared with what aCltUlalliy transpired. The course adopted is to give first the farieieasts for J&09, then dteai with the trade movements of former years, prodlu-ctilon, possibilities of future trade, amdru general summ-ary of the reasons for the special forecast. The ye-ar 1909, the autiiors predict, will be an unsatisfactory year, bult there are stroing signs that the present cycle of de- pression will be, one, of the shortest on record. Thle subjects detaIt witih include- coal, copper, iron, tiln, shipping, money m-arket, home rails, American rails, cotton, wheat, hog psnodtacis, dairy pEnodu-oe, and- tiin-plates. Useful tables of statistics axe, also given.

BARRY P.S.A. ANNIVERSARY. After a v-e,M" of remarkable success, the mem- bers of the Barry P.S.A. celebrated their first anniversary ,aA Windsor-ro ad Congregational Chapel -on, Frildiaiy last. A well-attended recep- tioo was given in, the aftejrnoon in the school- room by Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Evans, of Porth- ketrry House, who were warmly thiainked for t-hedr hospita-lifty on, the- proposition of Mr. F. E. Murreilil, seconded by Councillor J. T. Hosg. The reception, was succeeded by a; coinference, presid-ed ovecr by the Rev. C. J. Fol- lowing an address by Mr. G. Herbert Price, Pcnairth, the Rev. David Pughe-, Wesloyan minister, of Sundlerland., spoke of his early ex- perietnees of brotliierhood, organisation, the diffi- cultiies and loc-al prejudice which had been ove-rcome1, the, success attending eiach recurring year, and tihp grad-uial increase, of the. aittend- ancei of 400 on the. first Sunday afternoon to 1,200 at, the- close of the first year. The P.S.A., he) said, stood for th-e salvation of life as well as the- reclaiming of souls, the- regeneration, d human, he-arts- as much as the reformation of human lives, and it was credit to anv town when tlhey elected godly mam to represent tli-em on public institutions. Courtesy and even etiquette- were. quite compatible with, the spirit of brotherhood, and, for the- work to have last- ilng effect every member must play the man, and dischiarge- his obligations in doing some- thing for the good of society. Aldermian T. J. Hiughesi, Bridgend, presided over a, at a public meeting in the eveping, and in a. much appreciated' ad- dress said there wa4s a good deal to. Le-arn in the ge-ntle art of making other petople happy. Loose thinking was responsible for a large amioun,t of loose- living, and the secret of mak- ing other people happy lay in the cherishing of llifei's littlie- courtesies.—Speeches were" also de- livered by the Rev. David Hughes and Mr. G. H. Price, At the P.S.A. on Sunday afternoon Mr. J. G. Ellis, of Newport, was the special speaker, and Councillor William Eva,ns, J.P., of New- port, occupied the chair. Musical selections were. rendered by the. Barry District Glee Society. Mr. T. Vivian Rees, Din-as Powis, delivered a limelight lantern lelc.burel oni Monday evening, taking as his subject, What's in, a Name{?

Thp students numbered 58, all of whom, with the exceptioni of two., passed the- examination of the St. John Ambulance Association, and on Sunday last this successful students were pre- sented with certificates and medallions. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Dr. Irving Jtvas pre- sented, by Mr. P. Lennox, on behalf of the claisses, .with a valuable case of pipes, as a token of appreciation of his services as surgeon- instructor, amd as am expression of the esteem and popularity in which, he is held by the classes, — —

Burning Eczema after a Rasbe TORTUREDbyDISFIG-URING SCALY SORES. Miss E. B. Haddock, of 30, Hampde-n-,street, Westoe, South Shields, had more torture crowded into two years than thousands of people have- in a. lifetime. Nothing was able to relieve- her of the terrible eczema until Zam- Buk was tried. To a. local reporter who investigated the won- derful cure Miss Haddock said :—" Afcout two years ago I noticed a number of small red spots -lik,g a rash—appearing all over my body, face, head, arms and legs. I cabled in the doctor, who told me I liad -eczema. As there were chil- dren at the house where I was employed, I was obliged toO give up my situation. Doctor's medicine did me no good, for the spots soon began to spread into each other. Two of the places festered and began to discharge. My body wa-s very sore, and tlie skin was highly innapied. 'The itchiing and pain were almost unbearable. I could not sleie-p, but used to walk abo.ut all night. The eczema com-tinied to spread, and I be- came awfully disfiured. Before I was attacked, by the disease- I had a, lot of thick, bushv hair, which came nearly down to the waist." The- eczema caused the hair to come out in handfuls, until there was only a, thin covering left. The doctor told me there was no cure, for me. Malny a. time I cried bitterly, for I never had, a moment's rest from the burning, torturing pains. For two years my body was practicably covered with the dreadful eczema, and there seemed no prospect of ever getting rid of rt. When, the disease) was abo-ut at its worst, I was advised by several friends to try Zam-Buk. I smeared the balm over the scaly places gently. After the very first application'of Zam- Buk I experienced a delightfully cooling and soothing feeling. Further dressings with Zam- Buk giraduaivly lessened the torturing itch, and I was able to get some greatly needed sleep. The scabs began to peel off, and a new healths skin grew where the sores had been. I continued with Zam-Buk until my head, face, neck, body, arms, and legs were quite cleared of the dread- ful eczema. My skin is now beautifully soft and healthy-looking, and my hair is growing again." Miss Haddock's case conclusively proves the unequalled exceill-snce of Zam-Buk.
