St A sapb Board of Guardians. FORTNIGHTLY MEETING. THE HALF-YEARLY BUDCET GREATLY INCREASED i DEMAND UPON EVERY PARISH. F.P.IDAY. -Present: Mr R LI Jones (chair- man), Mr T Howes Roberta (vice-chairman), Miss Owen-Jones, Rot B Evans, and Messrs S Perks, J.P., Edwin Morgan, J.P., D Tre- hearn, W Silvester, R Jones (Prestatyn), J Morris, J Pierce, J.P., John Roberts, Owen Rees. Robert Griffith, John Williams, Hugh Williams, William Jones, J.P., Bennett I Jones, Thos Hughes, Walter S Roberts, T C Jones, W Williams, W H Hughes, J E Jones, John Evans, David Roberts, Mark Oroas, John Kerfoot, and T Ufelyn Jones, together with the Clerk (Mr Charles Grimsley) and the Master (Mr Robert Jones). Master's Report. According to this report the pauper population of the Workhouse that day was 117, as against 1 J 9 on the corres- ponding date of last year; while 247 vagrants were relieved during the past fortnight, as compared with 125 a year ago. Mrs Luxmoore, St Asaph, had very kindly offered to bear the extra cost, amounting to £9 or f,10, of fitting the Workhouse chapel with electric light lamps of more artistic design than those provided for in the specifica- tions. The walls of the chapel needed colouring and decorating afresh, and it was suggested that subscriptions which had been received from different friends in connection with the lighting, which Mrs Luxmoore had so kindly taken in hand, might with the subscribers' permission -be devoted to this purpose. A parcel of illustrated papers for the use of the inmates had been received from Mr Wrigley, Brynpolyn, St Asaph a parcel of tea and sugar for the sick and infirm and sweets for the children from Mrs Fosbery and fruit from Mrs Luxmoore and Mr Williams, Cae Drain, Henllan. The Chairman, in proposing a vote of thanks to the several friends mentioned in the report, alluded particularly to what Mrs Luxmoore had done in connection with the lighting of the oVioriol rmn anifl it was all ciuite in accordance with her usual magnanimity and princely | generosity (hear, hear). He thought it time, in the interests of sanitation and everything else, that the chapel walls were re-coloured, and ho had no doubt that those from whom ) subscriptions had been received would fall in with the Master's suggestion and that others would follow their generous example. The motion was carried in the usual way. Contracts. On the recommendation of the Contract Com- pyitteo-tenders for the supply of groceries, -&,c, to the Workhouse for the enduing half-year were accepted as follows :—Messrs Jones and Son, bread at Id per lb, oatmeal at 91 3s per sack of 240 lbs, cheese at 5d per lb, loaf sugar at la 5d per cwt., rice at 14s per cwt., carbolic soap at 17s 6d per cwt., soda at 3a 9d per cwt., pepper at Is per lb.

W G Jones, women's stockings at Is Ilid per pair, men's stockings at 2s 2kd per 2 pair, boys' stockings at Is 6Ad per pair. The Drainage of the Workhouse Building*. The Visiting Committee reported having had under consideration a letter from the Local Government Board as to the provision of a new drainage system and the erection of additional buildings at the Workhouse; and they sub- mitted a detailed letter from the architect replying to the various points raised by the Local Government Board. It was decided to send a copy of the architect's letter to the Local Government Board. The Half-yearly Budget: Enormously Inoreased Expenditure. The Clerk submitted a statement, which he had laid before the Finance Committee that morning, respecting the estimates for the half- year ending March 31, 1905. The total esti- mated expenditure came to £10,188, which was considerably in excess of previous esti- mates, and was owing almost entirely to the increase in the county rates. He had been in communication with the Clerks of the Flintshire and Denbighshire County Councils, and had ascertained that the county rate for Flintshire for the coming half-year would be 7d in the 2, and that of Denbighshire llgd. Altogether they had to raise for county pur- poses 96,376, whereas they only required R3,376 for Poor Law purposes. The amount to be provided in respect of relief was lower than usual, owing to the fact that they were getting grants amounting to upwards of £ 2,000. This was the first time the Denbigh County I Council Iwd made any provision in cannec- tion with the Education Act of 1902, whereas I the Flint County Council had already made calls under that head amounting to 5d in the £ —2d for the half-year ended March last, 2d for the half-year now expiring, and Id for the ensuing half-year. The Denbighshire county accountant had told him that the amount re- quired by his authority for general purposes for the coming half-year came to 5d in the f., and that for education purposes to lill under Part II and 5d under part III—a total of llgd in the R, or 4gd more than Flintshire. The total amount which the Union had to provide for the ensuing half-year (210188) was £ 2,500 more than they had to raise in the correspond- ing half of last year. Mr Wm Jones: The Denbighshire rate- payers will be grumbling at this. Mr Griffith The worst of it is tho rate- payers think it is this Union that spends all the money. I think the County Councils ought to issue their own precepts, and leave us alone. The estimates were adopted on the molira of the Vice-Chairman. The Calls. The calls upon the various parishes will be as follows, and for comparison we give the amount which each parish had to find for the half-year ended March last Half-year Half-year ending eiidu.g March, 1905.

It was reported that the Workhouse electric lighting contract had been completed satisiacto- rily, &nd that the was a further instalment of £124 6s Od due to the contractors after deduct- ing JE78 14s as retention money. Mr Wm Jones asked whether the plant was in thorough working order now. He had heard that the other day it was giving off explosions that alarmed the whole city and made the people fear the Workhouse buildings were coming down. Mr Pierce Was any damage done ? The Chairman I don't know anything about it. Would you like the Master to re- port on the matter ? Mr T C Jones I heh. v .:i, "Vsions were due to the use of had oil. The Master was called in, and in answer to various enquiries replied that no damage what- ever had been done-not a single bono broken. The Chairman And everybody has recover- ed equilibrium ? The Master Peace, perfect peace (laughter). The Chairman What was the cause of the explosions ? The Master Bad oil A member interested in the trade asked what sort of oil it was, and was informed that it was described as a Russian oil, for which another oil had since been substituted. The Chairman Japanese, of course (laughter). Parishes in Arrears. Amongst the parishes in arrears with their contributions the Clerk reported the following Bodfari £28, Cefn £31, Owm R33, Dymeirch- ion £42, Dyserth £56, Llanddulas £45, Llan- fairtalhaiarn Y,56, Llansannan £64, Rhyl £331, St. Asaph £ 111, Waen R19. It was decided to call upon the overseers of the respective parishes to make up these deficiencies as early as possible. The Representation of Prestatyn. Mr Robert Jones referred to the question of increased representation on the Board for Pres- tatyn, of which parish ho is the only Guardian. As the matter had now been before the Board for a considerable time, he was surprised that no definite action had yet been taken thereon. Prestatyn had more than doubled its population in ten years and was fully entitled to another Guardian. He proposed that the Clerk of the Flint County Council be written to, asking him to arrange a meeting of representatives of both bodies to settle the matter. Mr William Jones seconded the motion, and it was agreed tc.

Four in a Bed.
Four in a Bed. Mr F Llowelyn Jones, county coroner, held an inquiry at the Town Hall, Rhyl, on Monday night, touching the death of John Stanley Jones, the eight-weeks-old child of John William Jones, 12 Rose Hill Terrace, Mill Bank Road. Evidence of identification was given by the father, who also stated that the child appeared to be in good health when put to bed on Saturday night. He was one of four in a bed that night.—The child's mother said she found him lying on her arm alright at about five o'clock on Sunday morning, but when she awoke just after seven o'clock he was dead.—Dr Wm Thomas said he was called in soon after the discovery that the child was dead, and exprossed the opinion that he had been dead about two hours. It was quite pos- sible that death was due to suffocation, but he could not give a definite opinion as to the cause without making a post-mortem examination. Deceased was a very fine little child, and the body was well nourished.—The Coroner com- mented upon the danger of infants being over- laid and suffocated when sleeping with their parents, and especially when, as in this case, there happened to be four in a [bed. Parents could not be too strongly cautioned against this sort of thing. -A verdict of "Accidental suffocation was returned.—The jury consisted of the following: Messrs Fred Wallis (fore- man), Fred Roberts, Fred Pescall, R Fell, E Brown-Jones, E Lewis Evans, E D Evans, J Heathcote, E Rogers, J Taylor Williams, F Hubbard, It W Forster and Moses Williams.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS. With the changing season it is prudent for all to rectify any ail- ment afflicting them but it is incumbent on the aged, suffering under ulcerations and similar debilitating cacises, to have them removed, or worse consequences will follow. This Ointment is their remedy; on its powers all may confidently rely it not only simply puts their sores out of sight, but extirpates the source of mis- chief, extracts the corroding poison, and stimulates Nature to fill up the ulcer with sound healthy granula- tions that will abide through life. Under this treatment bad legs soon become sound, scorbutic skins cast off their scales, and scrofulous lores cease to annoy.

Ambulance Work at Rhyl, DISTRIBUTION OF CERTIFICATES. A DOCTOR'S COMPARISONS BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE NURSES. A meeting in connection with the London and North Western Railway Ambulance Class at Rhyl was held at the Grosvenor Temperance Hotel last Friday night,for the purpose of the distribution of certificates to the members who parsed the recant examination. Mr P. LI Jones presided, and amongst those present were Dr Wycliffe Goodwin (instructor of the class), Mr W B Allen (station master), Poiica Inspector Pearson, and Mr W J JGns (secretary of the class). The Chairman said he stood before them to per- form a very pleasing task, namely, to present the certificates gained in the recent examination. He understood from the report that of 59 members who attended the lectures 56 were examined and 53 passed. That, he thought, was very creditable indeed to both tJhA lecturer, Dr Goodwin, and thy pupil, if he might so call them. It showed that they had taken their education remarkably well, and also, he ventured to think, that, Dr Goodwin must have been very lucid in his lectures. He did not think anyone could engage in a nobler work than ambulance work, whereby persons became qualified to render aid to others in need. Of the ambulance men represented that night 32 had passed the first year's examination, 16 tbe second, and five the third. The class, he believed, owed its existence 'argely to the efforts of Mr Allen and Mr W J Jones, botn of whom figured in the liat, of successes and the expense was borne by the Railway Company, who, he understood, also offered to the second and third year men who pissed the privilege of choos- ing a free pass for themselves and their wives to any placa on the line. On behalf of the police he desired to thank the company for allowing policemen to join the clas, and he was pleased to find there were three policemen amongst those who had passed. Referring to the approaching departure of the stationrnaster on account of continued ill-health, he felt sure they oJlsympathised very deeply with Mr Allen on this matter, and hoped that wherever he might settle down he would regain the health he had enjoyed for many years until recently, and that many years would yet be extended to him in which to do further good service for both the Rail- way Company and the public, and that he might after that long enjoy his well earned pension when- ever he decided to retire (hear, hear). The certificates to the first and second year men and th3 bronze medals to the third year men (the winning of which entitles them to be enrolled as members of the St John's Ambulance Brigade) were distributed as follows First Year.—Robert James Bunner, John Harris, Thomas Amos, William Henry Parry, Fred Cave Allen, Henry Norman, Samuel Thomas Rathbone, Richard Hughes, William James, John William Jones John Rogers, William Jones, and John William Evans (Police- men), Isaac Hughes, William Ptri,y, Norman Richard Hughes, Owen Pritchard, William John Tweedie Timothy, Thomas Bruce Shufflebottom, William Jones, Robt Williams, Maurice Hughes, a William Turner, Charles Smith, W B Allen, W Astcl1, Thos Williams, Hugh Hughes, Thos Richd Davies, John lladcliffe, jun, William Roberts, Thos Henry Owen. Second Year.—James Owen McDonald, Edwin Jonee, Roger Ellis Jones, John Edward Roberts, Thomas R, nry Linley, Colin Campbell, Thomas Robert?, David Owen Hughes, Oeorere Evans, Owen Francis Neil, Edward Llew Nswing, David Williams, Robert Jones, Richard Roberts, Albert Cotide, Joseph James Biythen. Third Year.—William John Jones, goods agent (secretary), John Henry DAYies, Mark Rhodes*, goods foreman, John Davies, Henry William-. With regard to the victim of the recent bathing '<\lity at the Marine Lake, whose name appears I in this list, a of sympathy with the bereaved relatives was passed, an yieseut rising to signify their approval of that course. On behalf of the class the Chairman presented to Dr Gocdwin a handsome walking: stick as a small toktn of the m enibc rs' appreciation of his services. Dr Goodwin, who was very warmly applauded on rising to acknowledge the giff, said it was a very appropriate one, inasmuch IH a walking stick in days gone was almost as much a sign of a person's calling as was a uniform nowadays. Moreover, it would always serve as a reminder of a very good time with the class. It was parti ju!a ly desirable that railway men should understand ambulance work, and he had found the members of the class particularly apt in taking his instructions. From personal observation he had come to the conclu- sion that womtn were not half so apt as men in this matter, and that in many instances male nurses were more tender in their treatment of patients than were female nurses. Concluding, he expressed his indebtedness to Mr Allen and the secretary for their instrumentality in keeping up the attendance at the class, and he joined in the expressions that had fallen from the lips of the Chairman in regard to the resignation of Mr Allen as station master. The Chairman next made a presentation to the secretary, Mr W J Jones, also on behalf of the class, of a set of bowls. In acknowledging the gift the recipient ex- pressed the pleasure it gave him to be identified with the class. His ambition as the secretary was to see them carry off one of the district prizes offered by the Railway Company, and then the shield open to all the districts (applause). A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the meeting.

# Notes on New and Forthcoming Books. Messrs Macmillan & Co. have in the press Fifty Years of Fleet Street Being the Life and Reminiscences of Sir John R Robinson," by Mr Frederick Moy Thomas. At his death last November Sir John Robinson Left a number of manuscript jottings relating to persons he had known and occurrences he had witnessed, and to these materials, as well as to voluminous corres- pondence, the author has had access. The work will contain accounts of long conversations with Mr Gladstone on politics, religion and social sub- jects, and letters from James Payn, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and other literary celebrities. There will also be anecdotes of distinguished politicians, preachers, actors, &c., &c., with whom the veteran journalist became aquainted in the course of his career. At the Moorings," by Miss Rosa Nouchette Carey, published by Messrs Macmillan & Co., is a story of a brother and sister's love. A second edition of Dr T J Lawrence's War and Neutrality in the Far East is now in the press, and will be published immediately by Messrs Macmillan & Co. The author has re-wriiten the latter part of the book, and in the process great additions have been made. "An Unwritten Chapter in the History of Edu- cation," by Dr H Kingemill Moore, to be published shortly by Messrs Macmillan & Co., will appeal to various classes of readers. Students ot history will find in it new matter relating to the Ireland of the early years of the nineteenth century. The edu- cational events described are closely bound up with the history of the period, and are treated in connection with their historical setting. In a work on Weather Influences" Professor E G Dexter, of the University of Illinois, has pro- duced a suggestive study on a subject which has hitherto escaped scientific investigation. The author's conclusions, which are summed up in the last chapter, are not set forth as final, but as offering suggestions for future investigations into an interesting field of scientific research. The Macmillan ComDanv nublish the book A new edition is issued by Messrs Macmillan and Co of the late Professor Stanley Jevons' volume of essays on "Methods of Social Reform." The papers originally appeared in the pages of The Contemporary Review," and aa they treat of many questions which are of moment at the present time, the volume should prove of interest to students of sociology. Messrs Macmillan & Co will publish immediately a work entitled Chinese Made Easy," in the authorship of Dr W B Brouner, of Columbia Uni- versity,aud Fung Yuet Mow, a Chinese missionary, are jointly concerned, and which contains an introduction by Dr M A Giles, rroiessor of Uhinese at Cambridge. The main object of the authors has been to produce a handbook that will enable a student to obtain, without a teacher, a working knowledge of the language, and incidentally they hope to dispel in some measure the popular fallacy that written Chinese is unusually difficult to acquire. An important feature of the work that will commend itself to all beginners of Chinese is that the characters throughout are printed on a bolder scale than is usual in introductory manuals.
Mr Howell Idris and Mixed…
Mr Howell Idris and Mixed Bathing. "SANCTIONED BY THE HICHEST CONSIDERATIONS." Addressing the St. PancraB Municipal Officers' Swimming Club last week Mr T H W Idris, L.C.C, the Mayor of that borough, and Liberal candidate for Flint Boroughs, boldly said he saw no reason why mixed bathing should not be encouraged in public baths. Interviewed subsequently by a news- paper correspondent, he said:—"The loss of life on the Welsh coast recently came under my notice, and that is what led me to the view I have expressed. Finding that my daughter could not Bm, I thought I would like to teach her myself, and then I became aware that to do so, at any rate in London, would be impossible. Mixed bathing seems to me sanctioned by the highest con- siderations, and I therefore think all possible faci- litieii should be given for it. There is not merely the selfish consideration of a person being able to save his or her own life there is the far more important matter of being ready to save the life of another. Can anything be more lamentable than that a person should drown—and this has otten oc- curred-in sight of a helpless crowd that contained not one individual qualified to jump in to the rescue ? "You think there is no reasonable objection to mixed bathing." No reasonable objection that cannot be met. If the University swimming dress is not considered entirely satisfactory, let some modification of it be devised and enforced. Of course, swimmers do not like to wear a costume caloulated to impede their progress in the water, but that is quite a minor consideration compared with the enormous advan- tage to the public that would result from mixed bathing." You do not think there would be any possibi- lity of misbehaviour?" Well, at the outset there might conceivably be isolated cases of misbehaviour. But bathing would take place in the presence of superintendents' of both sexes, while I should think at the outset of the innovation Councillors would themselves take it in turn to be present; so we may be sure that any bathers who gave offence would be promptly called to account. But I really do not think there would be any notable misbehaviour, even while mixed bathing was a novelty. The same thought was in many minds when mixed bathing at the sea- side was first proposed. Now it has been adopted round our coasts, and who that has seen the system in practice has ever seen any ground for objecting to it ? On the contrary, notice how the system baa popularised bathing and swimming." An Objection by a Praotioal Man. The suggestion did not commend itself to Mr Chas Newman, ot the Westminster City Baths (the well-known expert on swimming). He was troubled with the thought of a daintily- attired lady consuming an inordinate amount of time preparing for the bath, splashing about sub- sequently in the water, emerging in order to indulge in an interlude of apples and sponge cakes on terra firma, returning to the water, and finally retiring again to her dressing room, leaving a num- ber of stray hairpins for the men and boy swim- mers to collide with. Mr Newman's picture was drawn in the utmost good spirit, but it appears to be the product of ex- perience. "But, really," continuss Mr Newman, "I don't think the men would care for this mixed bathing. For one thing, it would take all the fun away from 'the baths, "and it is my firm belief that 75 por cnt. of the male bathers would object to the ladies1. Here am I, myself, for instance, I wouldn't like the innovation. As for the moral side of the business, there is no comparison between the sea shore aid a London bath. lu one case you have a vast stretch of ocean bordering a public highway. In the other you have a confined spice surrounded with dress- ing rooms. Besides, one nover knows what class of people would be attracted to the baths. In short," says Mr Newman, "my experience of 35 years is dead against the proposal. L'3t the girls be satisfied with the swimming lessons at school." Yet tdie idea is said to be meeting with a large amount of support, and at Southampton the num- ber of bathers has been more than doubled since mixed bathing has been allowed in the Corporation Baths. Just so, but why ?
The Fire Brigade Competitions.
The Fire Brigade Competitions. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE RILYL JOURNAL. SIR,-One of your contemporaries in its report has, in my opinion, made one or two discrepancies, and I will thank you to allow me to correct the same. In this report it is stited that the iteamer competition was the chief event of the day." In my opinion this is far from it. Whilst as a rule a team used to a manual could not drill off a steamer and vice versa, every fireman is supposed to know the hydrant drill, and a glance at the number of entries in the programme for that day fully justi- fies my opinion that the hydrant drill was the "moat important of the day." And no doubt great grief is felt by the eleven brigades who failed to win the coveted trophy. The entries for the three chief events were as follows :—Manual wet drill 7, steamer 8, hydrant drill, dry, 12. I should also thank you to allow me to point out that the same identical object in view was connected with the manual wet drill as in the steamer drill, and to see the pumpers at work with the former imme- diately the signal was given by the engiceer was to my mind, and no doubt to the spectators, far more interesting than watching the result of "steam," although the latter is of course more up- to-date. It was unfortunate that the Colwyn Bay man interfered with his work in the hydrant drill before he was permitted, and all honour to them for doing the drill in the time specified but is it a fact? Did they or did they not use hose with "instantaneous bucklings" which was against the rules as laid down ? Thinking you in antic; pation, yours truly, FIREMAN.
- The Field Naturalists' Club.…
The Field Naturalists' Club. A meeting under the auspices of the Rhyl Field Naturalists' Club was held at the Botanical Gar- dens last Saturday afternoon, but the attendance was militated against by the inclemency of the weather. The president of the club, Dr Wycliffe Goodwin, contributed to the programme a talk on the geological formation of the neighbourhood, with special reference to the interesting cave at Gwaenysgor. Specimens to illustrate the same were exhibited by the secretary, Mr Caradoc Williams. It was hoped that a paper would be read by Mr A Foulkes Roberts, to whom the club is already greatly indebted in that respect, but he was unable to attend. In a letter explaining his absence he suggested the desirability of raising the membership subscription so as to cover the cost ot publishing an anual book- let containing such of the papers, &c., given at the various meetings as might be considered worthy of preservation in that form. We believe the same thing was suggested some time ago by Mr W J P Storey, J. P., one of the vice-presidents of the club. Whether it will assume practical shape will doubt- less be settled at the next general meeting of the club.
------Mold.
Mold. Hard Times. This is a hard time with the Flintshire colliers. It is said that visitors to the Mold County Court last week could not fail to ba struck with the unusual number of pleas of non-employment and slackness of work given by the wives of husbands summoned before the registrar for debt. Such pleas were made generally on behalf of colliers, and showed that employment in the coal trade has for some time been siack at Mold, Buckley, and in the Flint district. In some of the casei3 the pleas were made generally on behalf of colliers, and showed that employment iu the coal trade has for some time been siack at Mold, Buckley, and in the Flint district. In some of the cases the registrar said it was impossible to make an order, the destitution of the defendants being too appa- rent.

The monthly meeting was held at St. Asaph last Friday under the chairmanship of Mr Wil- liam Jones. A letter was read from the Local Government Board asking for the Council's observations upon a letter they had received from Major Birch as to the recurrence of diphtheria at Trefnant.-The Clerk (Mr Charles Grimsley) said that immediately upon receipt of this com- munication he sent a copy to the Medical Officer (Dr J Lloyd lloberts) and asked him to come to the meeting prepared to make a report on the subject.—The Medical Officer presented his report, from which it appeared originally there were about 25 cases of diphtheria in the parish, and now the disease had broken out afresh with two cases.—After considerable discussion as to the ateps already taken in regard to the out- breaks, notice was given by Mr Bennett Jones of a motion to adopt a certain measure giving the Council greater power in the matter. The other business was mainly of a routine nature. Fels-Naptha Go by the book. It isn't worth while to use FeIs- Naptha at all if you don't. Go by the book. Go by knowledge not habit.
