NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.- Three boys, one a resident and two visitors, stay- ing in Alexandra-road, had a narrow escape of their lives on Monday night. The boys, whose names were Robert Foulkes, Albert and Ernest Atkinson, were observed on a sand bank on the West Shore about 9.30 p.m. by William Owen, the inspector appointed by the Urban Council to patrol the shore and warn off wanderers on the sand of the danger of being cut off by the ris- ing tide. The lads had wandered beyond the rescue raft on the estuary of the Conway river, quite unaware of the fact that they were being quickly surrounded by the tide. To reach them the inspector had to make through a rapidly- rising stream about four feet deep, and* then car- ried them ashore one by one.

NESTON MOTOR PARTY'S ADVENTURE CONSTABLE CENSURED BY BENCH. At Ruthin County Magistrates' Court, yes- terday, William Walter Lawtom, Neston, Cheshire, was summoned for driving a oar recklessly to the danger of the public on Sun- day last. P.C. Ellifl, Trefnant, gave evidence to the effect that he saw the motor car in question coming from tho direction of Denbigh at a terrific speed, and swerving from one side of the road to th-e other. He raised his stick, and the defendant stopped the car within about seventy yards of him. Witness said defendant was quite sober, but the party with him were under the influence of drink. The oar was travelling at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour. Defendant stated that he was only tra- velling eighteen miles an hour, and he had the car in proper control. Ho could ba-m pulled up straight away if required. A. G. Grenfell, who carried cm a private school at Neston, and the owner of the car, said he had known the defendant for fifteen years, and he had been a most conscientious and careful driver. The party was m.a.do up of his own personal friends, who were unable to be present owing to business on the Stock Exchange, and they were very respectable and sober people. The Chairman said the Bench considered the case proved, and fined the defendant ti and costs. In regard to what the constable had said about the party in the car being under the influence of drink, the Bench did not consider that he was justified in stating that fact, inasmuch as they were not sum- moned for that offence.

THE MAN WHO LIKES HIS WOER. I A FOOD-BEVERAGE THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY Try a bm.in and nerve food. Give yourself a chance to enjoy life. Dr. Tibbles' Vi-Cocoa will feed you all over-brain and nerves as well as muscles. You can tell the difference in a very little while. How is it that when you have Vi-Cocoa for supper you sleep so restfutly and wake so,bright and cheerful? It cannot be an accident. It is the kola, malt and hops in Vi-Cocoa that makes the difference. Why is it that when you have Vi-Cocoa for breakfast work seems to go so smoothly, little accidents do not happen, fatigue does not overtake you before knocking-off time? The difference is unmistakable, and it has a rea- son. When your wife asked the grocer for Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa it wasn't merely cocoa that she bought in that sixpenny packet, but strength and cheerfulness too.

Do not ask your grocer for cocoa. Ask for ^AIM ocoa —it niakes all the difference. Every grocer sells Vi-Cocoa in 6d packets and 9d, and Is 6d tins.
