CWMDARE NOTES. BY RAFFLES. Who were the young couple -select- ing wallpaper for the bedroom re- cently? Raffles knows. The man at the corner house says he would have won in the timbering competition had he ground his hatchet before-hand. Any excuse better than none. The man over the garden wall near- ly let the baby f;fll last Saturday. It was lucky his wife was not about, or else he would never have reached the Flower Show." I-- Mary Elizabeth Ann and Popcorn spent a nice day at Mumbles on Sat- urday, but it was a case of "one taken and the other left." Old Pop had to come home. The musical lodger has gone to live at the top house. After the National Eisteddfod he will probably leave the village.

Pawnbroker's Excess Rate. » Benjamin Levinson, pawnbroker, of Penrhiwceiber, was summoned for charging a profit in excess of the schedule rate in connection with a pledge. His son,' Avillilul Strafford Levinson, manager, of the business, was summoned for aiding and abetting in the offence. Mrs. AnniA Taylor spoke to pledging a sure of clothes for her mother, Sarah Harris, in respect of whom the summons had been issued..Witness said that 12s. was advanced, while 12s. lOd. was! marked on the ticket. Mr. Levinson, jun., held that lie was placed at a disadvantage, in- asmuch as the name of Mrs. Harris was in the information, and not Taylor. the case was thereupon ad- journed for the amendment of the summons. A further charge was preferred against the same defendant in re- spect of a coat and vest pledged by Mrs. Mary Ann Benny, of ] 1 Wall Street, MittheNN'stoiN-n, who said she received 8s. 2d. for a coat and vest, while the ticket was marked 8s. 6d. Witness accom- panied Sergt. Johns back to the shop. [ Catherine Mary John, bf 15 i Henry Street, Mountain Ash, gave corroborative evidence. Sergeant Johns spoke to making inquiries regarding stolen avticles and to meeting Mrs. Beany. When spoken to at the "shop Regarding tlie transaction with Mrs. Benny, Mr. Leviason, junr., said, "I will account for nothing: I will admit nothing, absolutely nothing." The defence was that Mr. Levin- j son, junr. was, rightly or wrongly, j. under the impression that Mrs. Benny owed the firm 3 £ d., and, further, that when the pledge was redeemed only 8s. 5cl. 'was paid. The Stipendiary held that the charge had been proved, and lie de- scribed it as a most shameful and fraudulent transaction. Mr. Levinson, senr., was fined £ 10, and the son £ 5 or 31 days. Mr. Levinson,* junr., asked his Worship to state a case on a point i of law, namely, on the contention that no actual overcharge was made.. The Stipendiary agreed to this course. Another case was adjourned for 28 days.

« The Cow's Fault. Mary Ann Jenkins, 20 Nash Street Abercynon, was summoned j for selling milk deficient in butter fat by 10 per cent. Mr. T. W. j Lewis, Pontypridd, defended. Supt. Rees spoke to taking a. i sample, and produced the analyst's certificate. The defence was that the milk sold as supplied by a farmer, Mr. Price, straight from the cows. Mr. Lewis contended that in ac- coidance with the Appeal Court decision in the case of Hunt v. Richardson, this defence was a valid one. The Stipendiary upheld this con- tention, and dismissed the sum-; inons. —

PRESENTATION TO SIR EDCAR JONES. At the Priority Department of the Ministry of Munitions on Friday, Sir Edgar Jones, M.P., the former Controller received from the staff of four hundred an illustrated album bearing the signa tures. of all the members, together with a handsome Westminster chiming clock. Dr. Hazel, the Assistalit Controller, paid a very high tribute to Sir Ed- gar for his services to the depart- ment. He acknowledged the spec-j ial services which had been render- ed by Mr. Alfred Davies, M.B.E., who organised the presentation movement. Sir Edgar Jones suit- ably responded. He said his asso- ciation with the Priority Depart- ment had been extremely pleasant from beginning to end. They had supported him all the way through, and to-day it was an extremely im- portant department. It is reported that Sir Edgar Jones has joined the staff of "de Ministry of Reconstruction.

TRECYNON AND LLWYDCOED t NOTES. BY MARCELO. J am told that the singing at the private "Ysgol Gan." on Sunday after- noon is simply shocking. Every at- tempt made is out of time and out of tune. It is a disgrace to musical Heolyfelin. Charlie Chaplin is not so much in the picture now as lie used to be, so his local imitator has shaved his tipper lip and takes a smaller size in boots. Ap Barley is down with a combine tion of hay fever and the "flu." He is also troubled with a particularly dry throat. The nuptial event was a quiet affair because the bride had only just reepv- ered from the shock of losing a former lover who. although courting her, mar- ried suddenly a girl from away. Things are done quickly in these days —even in (Heayen-w here marriages are made. The Gadlys lodger is making over- tures to the girl at the grocer's shop. Does he really like the girl, or is it cupboard love, and that he is trying to get her to smuggle an extra ration of sugar and butter for him ? B-went to^ Sunday School because her mother told her to go. But she took a novelette With her to while away a tedious hour. The teacher saw the title, and now the matter is to be reported to the' mother. So poor B-- is in a tight corner between the two.

INDIGESTION AND NAUSEA. Veteran of the Burma and Soudan Campaigns Soon Cured by Dr. Cassell's Tablets. Dr. Cassell's Tablets cure indi- gestion because they strengthen the digestive organs and enable them to act properlv. Mr. T. G. God sell, 139 Wakefield Street, Katherine Road, East Ham, London. E., says:—I am an old soldier, have been through the Bur- ma and the Soudan campaigns, and have had a varied life in one way and another. About four /years ago 1 began to suffer with indigestion. Whatever ate made me feel sick, and caused such shocking pain that I. used to dread eating at all. 1 went dizzy, too, with stars dancing before my eyes, and I have lain awake half the night retching. Headaches 'troubled me constantly. In fact, I don't think anybody could suffer with indigestion more than I did. Medicines I took returned as. soon as swallowed, but when I got Dr. Casseli's Tablets I was aston- ished to find that even the first dose or two relieved me. Soon 1 was as free from Indigestion as ever in my life. Dr Cassell's Tablets are the Proved Remedy for: Nervous Breakdown Anaemia Nerve Paralysis Kidney Trouble Spinal Weakness Indigestion Infantile Paralysis Wasting Diseases Neurasthenia Palpitation Sleeplessness Vital Exhaustion Specially valuable for Nursing Mothers and during the Critical Periods of Life.
