no more depressing days

Life is a Days when everything seems to go wrong. heavy burden. Work needs so much determination. Tasks seem never ending.

The cause of it all is raw jangled nerves. If they can be restored to healthfulness all the attendant troubles vanish. And this can be done only in Nature's way, through quict health-restoring sleep. But it must be natural sleep-not that produced by drugs

or stimulants.

Then when the nerves are refreshedand re-invigorated the spirits rise, the whole system recovers tone and all is well.

There is such an easy pleasant way of producing this natural sleep. A fragrant cup of Glax-ovo taken before retiring for the night is a splendid sleep inducer. The marvellous "Ostelin" vitamin D concentrate feeds those starved and harassed nerves, its rich milk and selected malt extract give rise to that drowsy feeling and its delicious chocolate flavour makes it an added pleasure with which to round off the day. Try it to-night!

COAL MINES BILL.

་

MR. GRAHAM ON COST OF ADMINISTRATION,

Mr. Graham (President of the Board of Trade), in moving the financial resolution for the pur- poses of the Coal Mines Bill, in the |House of Commons, explained that 21 district investigation Com- mittees were to be appointed for the purpose of protecting the in- teresta of consumers. There would also be a National Com- mittee, and power was taken to | amalgamate the districts. Further, it was proposed to set up a Na- tional Industrial Board to consider hours of work and conditions of employment. For these purposes it was estimated that a sum of £35,000 per annum would be re- 'quired.

In amendments to the Bill which he had put down, he proposed the setting up of a body called the Coal Reorganisation Commission, whose duty it would be to survey the whole field in the coal mining industry and ascertain how best amalgamations of the colliery undertakings could be achieved on a compulsory basis,

по

If this proposal were agreed to, doubt numerous schemes of amalgamation would be promoted on a voluntary basis, and to that extent the expenses of the Com- mission would be reduced. It was estimated that £250,000 per annum would cover the remuneration and other expenses of the Commis- aiöners making a total outlay of £285,000. That, however, WAS quite a provisional forecast.

It was also proposed to remove the limit of £250,000 per annum which could be expended by the Mines Department. In connexion with amalgamations, the adminis- trative expenditure would be borne by the Department, but the technical and other expenses on the question of whether amalgama- tion was possible or desirable and the terms on which it was to be carried out would be recoverable from the industry itself.

Practical Difficulties.

Sir P. Cunliffe-lister complained that erities of the Bill would be precluded in Committee from moving amendments that involved any financial charge that went beyond the terms of the financial resolution.

Mr. Graham thought that the resolution was sufficiently elastic, but said that if it were found to be not so, he would be willing to re-commit the resolution for amendment.

Sir P. Cunliffe-lister did not think that would be a practical way of getting over the difficulty. Dealing with the work of the Re- organisation Commissioners, he asked who were to be the 'Com- missioners and on what principle were they to proceed?

He agreed that, a number of amalgamations could be usefully made, but they should be pro- ducers' amalgamations out of which no promoter would take any money. It would be casy for the Commissioners to find weak and inefficient. pits that would be only too glad to be taken over by strong concerns, but they should not use machiner of this sort to bolster up poor pits.

He did not believe in wholesale compulsion where those engaged in the industry did not favour it. He formally moved the rejection of the resolution.

Mr. Lloyd George's View. Mr. Lloyd George (L, Carnarvon Boroughs) suggested that after a Keneral debate the President of the Board of Trade should with- draw the resolution and reintro- duce it in a form which would cover all fair amendments, on the understanding that there should be no further discussion.

- For his part he attached great importance to the resolution per- mitting amendments on the subject of valuation in cages of amal- gamation. Certain amalgamations in South Wales had been disastrous from the producers' point of view. There had no doubt been--he did not like to say plunder-but a certain amount of eash not represented by any value, It was vital that mines should be acquired on their real value, and that worthless undertakings should not be bolstered up.
