BLOOD AND SKIN DISEASES. Blood is Life Let it be Pure. Many Skin and other Diseases arise from Impure Blood. How these may be speedily cured by VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC. Dr. KIRILLOFF in a paper communicated to the Eastern Siberian Medical Association dealt with the virtues of Seaweed in blood diseases. He said :—Seaweed is widely used as a food in Japan, and as it contains combined Iodine, blood diseases which assume such alarming characteristics in other countries run a comparatively mild course in Japan. Blotches and Pimples on the face and body, Scrofula, Sores, Itching, and Redness of the Skin, Tetter, and Eczema, are symtoms which indicate impure Blood, and consequent Skin Disease. If your blood is pure your skin will be clear and healthy looking. There is no medicine in Great Britain so effective as VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC. It cures by acting constitutionally-that is by clearing the system of all impurities herein lies its success as a healing and strengthening medicine. If you are pale and thin, lacking energy and vitality, yo are suffering from Anaemia, or in other words, poor, thin blood. VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC enriches the blood it creates fresh pure blood. It does this by strengthening the stomach and enabling vou to eat and digest the food you eat. It is from the food vou digest you get your blood. VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC Is the Medicine you require. It contains a pure palatable extract of "Seaweed," known to possess marvellous purifying and healing properties. Doctors use it themselves, because it is a scientific remedy possessing the greatest therapeutic value. Take it also for CONSTIPATION, LIVER TROUBLES, HEADACHE, KIDNEY DISEASE, and GENERAL WEAKNESS.

AN IMPORTANT APPEAL.—The Easter Quarter Sessions will be held at Denbigh on Friday of this week. There is only one prisoner for trial. The business includes the hearing of an appeal by the North Wales and District Bill Posters, Ltd., against ithe Poor Rate for the parish of Llandrillo-yn-Rhos. IMPORTANT CONTRACT.—We learn that Messrs. Raynes & Co., proprietors of the Llys- faen Quarries, have received the contract for asphalting the promenade at Penmaenmawr, and that they have entrusted the carrying out of the work to Messrs. Hughes & Rowlands, Col- wyn Bay. When completed, the esplanade will have a superficial area of 5,000 square yards. THE HOUSING QUESTION.—At Colwyn Bay, on Friday night, a meeting was held, con- vened by the Working Men's Association formed for the purpose of inducing the Urban District Council to adopt and put into operation the pro- visions of the Housing of the Working Classes Acts. Dr. Ross presided, and an address was delivered1 by Mr. F. J. Sarson, of Llandudno, who said he was the first in Wales to interest himself in the subject of workmen's dwellings, and Llandudno was the first town in Wales where such dwellings were provided. The first group of 19 houses built at Llandudno were im- mediately a financial success and had imposed no burden upon the ratepayers. He contended that the second group would have been equally succ-essful from a financial point of view but for mismanagement. Now that reasonable rents were charged the latter were all let. He con- tended that of all towns fashionable health re- sorts were the places in which it was least de- sirable that the working men population should be housed in insanitary and insufficient dwell- ings. In the course of the meeting it was con- tended that the Rev. W. Hughes, of the Congo Institute, and Mr. J. Berth-Jones were the only candidates for seats on the Council who were prepared to support the policy of the Associa- tion. The first-named of these gentlemen was present and delivered an address, declaring that he would not rest satisfied until the condition of the working classes, in Colwyn Bay had been ameliorated in this respect. It was alleged that the overcrowding due to the insufficient number of dwellings was very serious, and that the rents which working men had to pay were much high- er than they could afford. In the end a resolu- tion was unanimously carried calling upon the Council to comply with the demand of the, As- sociation.

CONWAY. ELECTRIC LIGHT.—The Board of Trade has issued the Provisional Order for the electric lighting of the Borough. HEALTH OF THE TOWN—The Medical Officer's, report for the month of February re- cords 10 bir/ths and 8 deaths, making a death- rate per thousand of the population of 18.6. WORKMEN'S COTTAGES.—The Borough Surveyor, Mr. F. A. Delamotte, has just com- pleted a plan showing how 108 workmen's cot- tages may be erected on the Bryn Morfa Land. He finds that the drainage presents the only difficulty, the land being too low for the exist- ing sewers. The cost of the new sewers that would be required would amount to something like £700. UNION CONTRACTS.—The following ten- ders for provisions! and other supplies during the coming year have been accepted by the Con- way Union Authorities :—Meat, Messrs. J. Jones & Son, Ltd., Llandudno—Beef, 4d. and a fifteen- sixteenth of a penny mutton, 6d. and a fifteen- sixteenth of a penny; suet, 4d. Groceries, Messrs. E. B.

D GANWY AND LLANDUDNO JUNCTION GLAN-Y-MOR ROAD.—It is understood that steps have been taken by the Borough officials to precenit a recurrence of the flooding of Glan- y-Mor Road by high tides. The responsibility, it would appear, lies with the L. & N. W. Rail- way Company. SERIOUS "BEGGING" CHARGE.—The case of Margaret Bromley, of 6, Station Terrace, Llandudno Junction, found begging with a book at Penmaenmawr, will be tried at the Llandud. no Petty Sessions. It was stated at Conway, on Monday, where the matter was partly dealt with, that the whole of the Bromley family subsisted on the proceeds of their begging expeditions.

GLAN CONWAY. UNLAWFUL REMOVAL OF PIGS.At the Conway Petty Sessions, on Monday, Evan ^ynne, of Pen-y-Nant, Glan Conway, was fined 5s. and costs for removing a number of pigs from Denbighshire into Carnarvonshire, with- out a license from the proper authority.

CRICKET COMPETITION. FOUR PRIZES OF THE VALUE OF ONE GUINEA EACH. The Proprietors of THE NORTH WALES WEEKLY NEWS beg to announce that for the Season 1905, in order to encourage local cricket talent, they have decided to inaugurate a Cricket Competition—the first of its kind in North Wale,s. There will be two Competitions—one for ordinary Cricket Clubs in North Wales, and the other for Schools. The Prizes will be Two Bats (by the best makers, to be selected by the respective winners, at the Cricket Emporium of Mr. Frank Sugg, the well-known cricketer, of Liverpool), of the value of One Guinea each, for the best average made by an individual batsman in bona-fide matches between recognised clubs or schools respectively; and Two Prizes—either a Bat, Cricket Bag, or other cricket requisite (to be chosen by the respective winners)—of the value of One Guinea, for the highest average by a Bowler belonging to a club or school. The name of the winners of the four contests will be suitably inscribed on a plate attached to the prizes. The Conditions are:- 1. That Competitors, to be eligible, must play in bona-fide matches, as between club and club, and school and school. 2. That a minimum number of six matches shall be played in order to qualify. 3. That the full scores of matches, accurate. ly set out and giving the bowling aver- ages, shall be delivered (for publication) at THE NORTH WALES WEEKLY NEWS Office, Conway, not later than Tuesday morning's first fost in each week. 4. That the scores shall appear in the columns of THE NORTH WALES WEEKLY NEWS. 5. That Professional Cricketers are excluded from the Competition. 6. That the Sporting Editor's decision be final. The period covered by the competition will be from, and including, April 22nd (the Saturday preceding Easter Monday), and Saturday, September 30th, 1905. The scores will appear week by week in THE NORTH WALES WEEKLY NEWS, and as soon as practicable the names of the players with the highest averages up to date—both batting and bowling—will be published, and continued week by week up to the end of the competition. With the idea of promoting matches, the Sport- ing Editor will be pleased to afford space week- ly for the insertion of open fixtures. Any suggestions by cricketers interested in the competition will be welcomed, and should be addressed to the SPORTING EDITOR," North Wales Weekly News Office, Conway.

PENMAENMAWR. CONFIRMATION.—The rite of confirmation will be administered by the Bishop of the Diocese at St. Seiriol's Church, on Friday (to-day) at 6.30 p.m. CHURCH FUNDS.-—The collections during the month of March in the three churches of St. Seir- iol's, St. Gwynan's, and St. David's, amounted to £ 22 os. iod. For the first time during the last ten years (states the Parish Magazine "), the churches are face to face with a serious deficit in the current accounts, the deficit amounting to over thirty pounds. The collections in St. Seiriol's Church during the year ending March 31st, 1904, amounted to £ 385 18s. 3d.; during last year they amounted to only f,335 18s. 6d.—just [5° less. The collec- tions in St. Gwynan's in the former year amounted to f.48 gs. and in last year to £ 65 is. 3d., an increase of £ ib 12s. 3d. The collections in St. David's in the former year amounted to £ 53 16s nd., and in the latter to £ 54 2s. iod., an increase of 5s. 1 id. It is hoped to clear off the deficit early in the year by means of special donations. Mrs Kneeshaw has offered f,5 and Mr Evill £5, WESLEYANISM.—A highly-interesting stone- laying ceremony in connection with the Wesleyan cause is to take place on Wednesday next. Amongst those announced to take part are Mrs Watkin Darbishire, Mrs Dr. Hugh Jones, Mrs Rowlands, Mrs Bowen, Mrs Jones, Col. C. H. Darbishire, Mr T. Lewis, J.P., Mr J. Williams, Dr. J. R. Williams, Mr W. Jones, and Capt. Thomas. THE PROMENADE.—It is gratifying to note that the local authority is turning its undivided attention to the completion of the promenade im- provements before the Easter holidays set in. That portion of the sea front between the stream and Pen-cutting bank is to be properly laid in asphalt, while the bare patches, here and there, are being levelled and turfed. It is satisfactory to note that the trees planted along Paradise Road are thriving well. DEATH & FUNERAL OF MR. LLEWELYN LLOYD.—We regret to announce the death, which took place on Tuesday of last week, of Mr Llewelyn Lloyd, David Street, for the past few years a highly respected workman at the Daibishiie Quarries. Mr Lloyd, who had come to live to the neighbourhood from Penrhynside, had only been ailing about a week before the sad end came. I he funeral took place at Dwvevfyichi Cemetery on Saturday, the Rev Owen Foulkes, Bettws, Abergele, officiating. Deceased leaves a widow and three small children to mourn his loss. THE WINDOW ACCIDENT.—The inform- ant who gave us particulars of the paragraph published last week concerning a quarryman's fall from a window mentioned the Mountain View Hotel as the place where the unfortunate man was first able to obtain assistance. It seems, however, that it was Mr and Mrs Skilbeck, the proprietors of the Penmaenmawr Hotel, who rendered such timely and valuable services under the very trying circum- stances of the case. We take this, the first, oppor- tunity of making the correction. SETT-MAKING PRICES.—We are given to understand that no difference has been made this year as compared with last in the bill of prices for settsmen and others employed at Brundritt Quar- ries. It is gratifying to note that the employers and men have come to so amicable a settlement. LLYS-Y-GWYNT WIDENING SCHEME.— Excellent progress has been made with the widen- ing of the main thoroughfare in the neighbour- hood of I Jys-y-gwynt. The corner that has for so long a time proved such a dangerous obstacle in the way of vehicular traffic is to be entirely removed, while a considerable addition IS to made in point of width.

Mrs Elizabeth Jones, Jenkin Street, Abergele, remembered Mrs Roberts calling upon her on Feb- ruary 10th, because the previous day she had been in trouble and she related the affair to Mrs Roberts, who stayed with her an hour or so. As the evidence given was so utterly contradic- tory, the case was dismissed, each side to pay its own costs. Abergele Police Court. LLANDDULAS POACHERS CAUGHT. Dr Wolstenholme (in the chair) and Mr J. Pierce were the Justices present at these Sessions on Saturday. Mr E. Milhvard, on behalf of the Overseers, sought to recover the sum of [3 14s. 4d from Mrs. Somers, Cambrian Hotel, Pensarn, and applied for a distraint warrant. POACHING. Thomas Roberts and John Hughes (junior), Llanddulas, were charged by Mr Inglis, Old Gwrych, with trespassing in search of game on March 22nd, on the land occupied by Mr Evans, Tanyrogo. The defendants pleaded guilty. Mr Crabbe, for the prosecution, said that on the 22nd, Mr Inglis was fishing in the river by Llan- ddulas when he saw the defendants with two dogs and a gun. One of them shot a rabbit and placed it under his coat. When asked for their names and addresses they gave them as Robert Williams, Plas Llan, and W. Jones, Bryntirion, Old Colwyn. Through the smartness of P.C. Rowlands, how- ever, thev were found to be residents of Llanddulas. The defendants, who were first offenders, were fined f. I 4s each including costs. MORE SNARES THAN ONE John Jones (18), Numbers, Abergele, was prose- cuted by Ernest Blackwell (gamekeeper) for tres- passing in search of conies in Plasuchaf woods on March 21st. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Evidence was given by Ernest Blackwell to the effect that on the 20th he was on his rounds, and at about 10.15 p.m. he came upon a rabbit caught in a snare. Watching the place next naming, he saw defendant come about 8 o'clock, walk straight to the snare, extract the rabbit and put it under his coat. He had no business whatever on .the land. The defendant stated that lie knew nothing about the snare being set, and he was searching for wood to make a fire for the men employed at Plas uchaf. Walter Blakemore, gardener, corroborated Black- well's evidence, and the defendant was find [I 4s including costs. OBSTRUCTIONISTS." Arthur Williams, Clip Terfyn, Llanddulas; William Williams, Tynewydd Ellis and John Roberts, Sea View, Llysfaen, were charged by P.C. Manuel Davies with causing an obstruction and using abusive language in Market Street on the 26th March. Fined is and costs, or 7s 6d in all, in each case. Honor Lawson, lodging house keeper, prosecuted William Evans, Tai Newydd, Abergele, for wilful damage to a window, to the value of 5s 6d, in May last. The defendant, who did not appear, was fined 16s, or in default 14 days. A TRIBUTE. At the conclusion of the Court, Dr Wolstenholme expressed his regret at the loss they would sustain on the Bench by Mr Pierce leaving, his term of office as Chairman on the Council having expired. He had been a very useful colleague and had done his best in the administration of justice. Abergele Jottings. [By Lingo.] Is it not time that the railings .on Dundonald Avenue received a coat of paint ? Of a truth they need it; and if it is not forthcoming soon they will collapse out of slieer disgust. The visiting season is drawing on, and Easter will soon be with us. Visitors will arrive, and be sure they will at least hope to see us clear of our spring cleaning. Everything points to a pleasant season. The beautiful weather we have already had shows everv sign of continuing. According to the predictions of Old Moor things ought to be at their best this summer. Spring is now with us, and the country is putting on its early apparel. ) The rooks on Dundonald Avenue are busv building, and of a morning their shrill." caw, C,LW is to be heard in the treetops. I notice that the number of nests have increased enormously this year and some good shooting will no doubt be obtained when the young are large enough to satisfy the ardent sportsman. Mr Scott, Plasuchaf, evidently intends to stop the visitors roaming about the mountain at their own sweet will. The path up to the tower is now guarded on each side by strong posts and wire. Many a good walk and pleasant ramble in pub IC places have been stopped through the willul damage done to the trees and plants. Through wanton damage done by a few unprincipled persons, hundreds—nay, thousands—have been deprived the pleasures of a visit to places where are to be seen some of Nature's best exhibits. Let us hope Tower Hill will not share this fate. < < After being unlighted for a short spell, the Station Bridge lamp once more casts its radiance upon us. Surely, it feels honoured to have been the subject of so much controversy ? One councillor made men- ion and very rightly too-of the timber waggons being left on the bridge to the public danger, and yet the light that was needed to make the obstruc- tion discernible was done away with, at least for a time. There has been more gas" over the one lamp than would keep it burning for a good spell. Who talked of having acetelene lamps in Abergele ? Glorious improvement as far as the illuminating power is concerned, but, somehow, the expense casts a dark shadow over the idea. Why not go the whole hog and instal e'ectric light ? The happy householder will be able to get up in the middle of the night to take his pill (forgotten earlier) without fumbling for the matches and barking his shins upon every unseen obstacle. It would also prevent an occurrence of that idiotic performance of looking for a gas leakage with a light! < Mr H. Fletcher has not yet had a touch of mal de mer. Writing to a friend in Abergele he voted the trip, so far, excellent the food and company all that could be desired, and the steadiness of the Victorian passed all expectations.
