TRAGIC WIVES OF THE BRYMBO INFERNO

TOWN IS ENGULFED IN GRIEF

"Our Men Cannot Be Dead"

(By Donald Stokes)

Chesterton, Staffs, July 5. THERE were ghosts standing with the hushed crowd that gathered at the Brymbo pithead to-day, ghosts of the 200 men who perished in the 1916 disaster at Minney Colliery, sister pit to Brymbo.

And there were ghosts wandering in the deserted fairground at Chesterton-shades of the men who have died in this latest disaster.

But for the Brymbo explosion | Chesterton would have been a town of laughter and jostling crowds on the occasion of the Chesterton annual carnival.

Three queens were to have been crowned here to-day, There was to have been a baby show, sports competitions and a procession.

Now Chesterton is a hamlet of whispers.

the list of victims.

His name actually appeared in the list of dead to-day, but it was afterwards corrected to H. W. Seaton, who lived a few doors away from him.

When I spoke to Mr. Harrison he told me that he thought the mistake was due to another man using his lamp.

"To-day somebody called to condolo with my wife, on my death, I at once sent a friend to the colliery to point out the mistake," he told me.

Restriction Act.

A law of vital importance to 6,000,000 householders, the Act expires next year.

The Government has to decide on one of three courses:

1. To allow the Act to lapse, de- controlling all houses. This would allow landlords to charge what rents they like, and evict tenants at a week's notiec.

2. To renew the Act in its pre- sent form, restricting rents for work- ing-class houses.

3.To compromise, and decontrol all but the smallest houses occupied by the poorest people.

She had suffered so long that she was resigning herself to being permanent invalid. That was the state of this woman when she wa persuaded to try Kruschen Salts. To-day she has taken on a new lesso of life. Read this letter from ber daughter:-

"Five years ago my mother was terribly crippled with rheumatoid arthritis. At ouc time sho Was scarcely able to move a limb. She lost all faith in medicines, until we persuaded her to give Kruschen Solto a trial. She has kept to it ever since, and never misses her daily dose.

Rheumatic conditions are the re- sult of an excess of uric acid in the body. Two of the ingredients of Krunchen Salt have the power of dissolving uric acid crystals. Other Ingredients of these Salts assist Nature to expel these dissolved cry- stals through the natural channels.
