MISCHIEVOUS JUVENilES UNNATURAL CONDUCT OF A MOTHER. After the ordifnary business had 'been dis- popsed of at the Conway Police Court), on Monday, the Guild Hall was cleared, so that t2ie case against two boys from Penmaen- mawr, flamed Herbert Hugh a > aJid R. H. Owen.J. might be proceeded with. They were charged with doing malicious damage to wknidows of the shelters situated on the Pro- mefnadet between the 1st and the 31st oi Miarch. The boys p'Jeaded gtsiity to the off-enoe.. Mr. R. J. Hughes, surveyor to the Urban District Council, explained that the dofecid- ants had damaged the windows of the orna- mental shelters. Twelve paines had been broken, and everyone -cost Is 9d each. One or two other panes had beein cracked, and which had not been replaced. Supt. Rees said that Owen had been before the Bench before. Oweti'i< mother was asked whether she had chastised her boy after the offence had been commie, and she replied in the negative. She also observed that she did not know what he was doing when he was out of her sight. Had it not been for that summons the boy would have commemoed work at Messrs. Brundriitt's this week. Dr. Dalton pointed out to the mother that it was her duty to see that the boy conducted himself properly, but .she replied that she could not do so when, he was out of her sight. The woman added defiantly that the police did not do their duty. She believed that it was biigger boys who had done the mischief, cn'y that they put the blame on the defendants. Dr. Daltcm (sternly) We can &end your bov to a reformatory school, you know. The Mother I don't mind, I should be very glad if you did- Supt. Rees: Oh. yes. She wants to get rid of her responsibility. The defendants were then ordered to pay 10s 6d each towards the damage.s,an.d. coits.

LIFE WASTAGE AT HOLYHEAD ALARMING FIGURES. Some startling figures are given in Dr C ay's report to the Holyhead Urban Coun- cil in regard to infantile mortality in Holy- head. The report says: — Thirty-three deaths of infants under one year of age were reg.sieved in the district during the year. this being equal to a mor- tality of 132.53 oer 1000 children born Last- vear (1307). out of 264 children born, 18 died; the death-rate being 68.18 rer lOGO; observe that the mortality is there- fore nearlv doubled. This rate is also con- siderably higher than that for England and Wales, which -was 110 per 1000. The rate is higher than the average rate of the dis- trict for the las: ten years. Whooping I cauah caused 6 deaths of infants under one y»ar • but in spite of this the rate must be considered a very high one, and is to be de- plored, especially when there is still a de- crease in the birth-rate. To a very great extent these deaths arc preventiblc," many being due to carelessness and ignorance in feeding. The adoption of the Notification of Dirths Act, and the bene fieial measures that would fol ow its adop- tion, will have to become, general before^we can hope for any great improvement, This would go a long way to prevent what un- doubtedly is a wastage of infant life.

MOTORING AT LLANUDDN0JUNCTION CASE DISMISSED. At Conway Poiice Court on Mortday, 1e- fore Dr Dalton, and other justices, two charges of driving motor cars to the danger of the public were drown for hearing. In the first the defendant was Mr Margeri- son, of Preston, and in the second W. G. Nicholson, the chauffeur to Mr Allan, of Prestwich, Manchester. The case against the chauffeur was taken first, and Mr Marks stated that on Good Friday afternoon, when there was considerable vehicular and other traffic on the road between Llandudno Junc- tion Station and the railway crossing, P.C. Richard Davies. who was on dutv at that crossing, saw coming towards him from the the direction of the Junction Station, a couple of motor cars abreast travelling at an excessive speed and Arthur Jones, one of the three witnesses called in corrobora- tion, estimated the speed of the c-ars at from twenty-five to thirty miles an hour, and said they were evidently trying to pass each other. Mr Grace, for the defence, con- tended that there was no evidence of driv- ing to the public danger, even assuming that the witnesses were right as to the, speed, which -his witnesses denied. The defendant was called, and stated that when he passed Mr Margerison's car the latter was travelling at about fourteen miles an hour, and he went, by at a speed of sixteen to eighteen miles. There was ab- solutely no other traffic, and the road was wide and stllaight.. The case was dismissed, the Chairman ie- marking, however, that the police were quite right in bringing it forward. The charge against Mr Margerison 'was then withdrawn. Mr J. J. Marks (Liiandudno) prosecuted on behalf of the police, and Mr T. W. Grace (Manchester) defended.

LLANDUDNO MOTORl'ST'S FREAKS I LICENSE CANCELLED. I At Conway Police Court, on Monday. H. P. Frazier, Little Orme, Llandudno, pleaded guilty to being drunk while in charge of a motor car, and further, with driving, his motor car in a manner that was dangerous to the ipublic between Conway and Llan- dudno on 16th of April. Supt. Rees said that complaints were re- ceived at the police station on the day in question to the effect that the defendant was driving his motor car along the road at a terrific speed. He telephoned to Llandud- no, but no sooner did the defendant arrive there than he turned back again, and he was seen coming down Tywyn Hill at a danger- ous speed, and in a most reckless manner. Peoole ran from his way, and one climbed up the wall. Defendant was taken to the police station, and kept there for a time, and the motor car was sent home. David Jones, gardener, Tywyn. having given corroborative evidence, the Bench asked Supt. Rees whether anything was known of the defendant before. Supt. Rees Oh, yes. He was fined 40s and costs on the 20th of July, 1908; on the 16th of November, 1908, C5 and costs; and on 15th February, 1909, £ 5 and costs- all for similar offences. Dr Dalton (the chairman) addressing the defendant, said that he would be fined the maximum penalty of 40s and costs for be- ing drunk. The Bench had been consider- ing whether they should not send hit-it to prison without the :option of a fine on the second charge. But as he had jpleaded guilty they had decided not to do so. But they wished n to be known that in similar cases, in future, tiyry would not give the option of a fine. On the second charge lie would be fined £ 20 and costs, and his ii- cense would be cancelled.

THE MEiN WE TRUST. So natural is it to trust ourselves to the direction of our doctors and clergymen, that few people realise the influence wielded by these men. To their honour. let it be said, they are of their responsibility to the public, and are scrupulously careful to express opinions and advice which they personally know to be accurate. It is on the reliable assurance of eminent doctors and clergymen that thoM-ands and thousands 01 suffering workers have experienced the beneficial effi- cacy of Phos'ferine. Dr Griffiths, for in- stance, says—"Phosferine stimulates nutri- tion, assimilation, and circulation, and acts as a powerful nervine and stomachic tonic." Equally forcible and just as typical of ckrgymen's experiences, is the appreciation of the Rev J. W. Clayton, who says— '■Phos-ferine is an excellent remedy for in- fluenza and its depressing nervous after- effects, and invaluable, in -nervous head- effects, and invaluable, in ,nervollS head- aches and debility." -20, Alexandra-terrace, Hasilingden, Lanes.
