How Not to Take a Holiday. (By our Medical Contributor). tThis timely article is copied from Lewis' Magazine," a new monthly issued by the great firm of "Lewis," Liverpool and Man- chester. Though the price of each copy is but one penny, the magazine is quite equal in interest to any of the sixpenny magazines issued in London]. "Now," said the Doctor, looking at th* office staff assembled to hear his lecture what's the good, as your chief has said, of giving you holidays if you come back from them worse instead of better? You, for example, Mr Jones, who spend a good slice of every twenty-four hours sitting on a high stool solving arithmetical problems. What you want is not that bicycle tour to the Lakes that you are meditating. It would inflict severe punishment on muscles grown flabby with too little use, and leave you done- up and jaded. No. Just you get a change to country lanes or shell-strewn beach and sea breezes, where you can take easy walks, lengthening them daily as your limbs grow used to the unaccustomed exercise; for exercise, like all good thing, to be really beneficial, must be taken in moderation and walking, if taken judiciously, is the best exercise of all, setting the whole muscular system to work. "\ou are going mountaineering, young Smith, are you ? That chest of yours needs expanding, and mountain climbing has its own fascination. But before beginning such an ex- cursion you must get into a state of absolute fitness for it. You've got a month yet before your turn for the holiday comes. Get up early every day of it without missing one, and take a brisk walk, increasing pace and distance gradually. Why, man, you couldn't climb a dozen stairs without losing your breath as you are now, and the man or woman who gets short of breath, or feels dizzy after an hour's climbing, should let mountains alone. The unaccustomed heart and lungs are not equal to the strain. That does not mean that there is anything wrong about them it means that they are rusty for want of use. Rowing is the thing for you, Mr Bags. You commercial men, who are everlastingly tearing about the country, don't so much need change of air as change of occupation and a chance of making your own family's acquaint- I ance, which you are too tired to do during week-ends. Take the wife and children to the sea, and row aboub in a good old tub, or tie it to a post and lie and doze in the sun with a novel—when the children will let you. You intended 'doing' Brussels and Antwerp and a few other places during that holiday, did you ? Very good. If you do I hope it will be con- sidered-in a deleting sense-in your salary when you come back, for you'll be fifty per cent less fit for work then than you are now. "Take your holiday easily, Miss Tims; I hear you've been having neuralgia badly. Nerves get out of order, don't they, when one is rattl- ing away at a typewriter all day ? Don't go in for more than you can do comfortably. Above all, spend as much time as possible in the open air, and have plenty of it night and day. You hear people grumbling about 'stuffy seaside lodgings.' Very often it is they who are stuffy, and not the lodgings. If windows are shut and curtains drawn • to keep out the night air,' which is just the same as any other air, only fresher, is it any wonder that the sleeper awakens headachy and disinclined for exertion ? Keep windows open day and night you can easily avoid draughts by the exercise of commonsense. Lie about in the sunshine when you don't feel inclined to walk, but if there is any dancing or frolic of any kind going on, mind you get a good share of it. That's the best cure for nervy feelings. "Of course, a holiday isn't a holiday, Tomp- kins, if, as I hear you did last time, you take business worries away with you, and spend one h^lf the time writing letters and the other half reading them. Bless me, man, the firm won't put its shutters up because the light of your countenance is withdrawn from it for fourteen days or thereabouts A holiday means change of scene, change of thought, new interests, completely different occupations, an utter ab- sence of business cares. ThaS is why over- worked business men are ordered long sea voyages to get them where the postman and the tape machine cease to trouble the weary soul. "If grim care is to sit upon your shoulders all the time you are away from home, if busi- ness letters or home worries are to be allowed to follow you, then don't go away. You can grapple with such things better in your ordin- ary surroundings. "We hardworking folk are tho ones who most need a holiday, have the best right to one, and often make the worst use of it when we've got it," went on the Doctor, shaking a genial forefinger at his audience. "The sense of being free to come and go at one's own sweet will through the long glorious hours of the summer's day brings with it an exuberant joy that lends a quite fictitious strength to heart and sinew, tired and enervated by close con- finement to desk or shop. The holiday-maker, rejoicing in his liberty, and conscious of the shortness of its duration, feels that he can do anything, and sometimes does it with evil results, "One word mote, as the parson says when he means going on for another twenty minutes. Wear wool next your skin, and take two or three pairs of easy boots with you. Have some good nails put in the soles if you intend climbing. See that your wIfe s and children's boots are treated ill tho same way if you are a family party. Dangerous accidents have hap- pened for the want of this precaution. The grassy elopes are often as slippery as ice. btout walking sticks, with good strong business —not ornamen tal- spikes, should form part of the equipment. They are especially helpful in descents. "If I nervy,' timid persons are among the party, leave them on the beach listening to the band. This advice sounds selfish, but is merely commonsensical. One such encumbrance is enough to spoil the fun of a whole party. "Don't take clothes you are afraid of spoil- ing don't overtire and overwork yourself. Recollect that the way to take a holiday is not to exchange one set of arduous conditions for another set equally arduous. During that brief spell of freedom from harness, imitate the mem- bers of the famous fraternity whose rule was Let every baother do as he pleases.'

New Pavilion and Marine Gardens. The Will o' th' Wisps," under the direction of Mr S Sherrington Chinn, the originator of The Follies," will be the special attraction in the Pavi- lion next week. The party gives a new and original costume Vaudeville entertainment, comprising songs, dances, concerted numbers, recitations, stories, imitations, musical sketches, duets, bur- lesques, skits, etc. What the Press thinks of "The Will o' th" Wisps A clever body of artistes.

Bellmen and their Uses. TO THE EDITOR OF THE RHYL JOURNAL. SIR,—I have just completed a most enjoyable holiday at Rhyl for the past three weeks, and whilst there I (among many other visitors) was impressed with the value of the office of the" Town Crie- Unhappily, this office has been allowed to die in many of our towns, and it se^ms to me that it would be a very good thing for the public if this ancient offisa of the "bellman" were revived at our seaside towns. Tbe value of the office cannot be overestimated. Many, perhaps, are of opinion that there is no further use for the crier in these days, as there are so many agencies at work for the recovery of lost property and advertising, &c., but it may be argued that many of the means adopted to recover lost property are not prompt or striking enough to im- press the public. A,ain. tbe bellman can soon get a crowd around him at holiday resorts, where people have much time on their bands, and are ever ready to hear what the crier has to announce. Let me quote an experience that came under my own notice. Some old parishioner of mine, staying at Rhyl with her husband and hmily, had the misfortane to lose her purse, con- taining some E5 odd in gold and cilver and retura rail- way tickets, &c., on the sands, where they had been watching the perfuming dog3. Meeting the husband some time afterward?, I was informed of the fact, and I advised him to place tie matter in the hands of a bell- man. who at once commenced to blaze abroad the loss of the purse. The result was that within an hour the purse with its contents was delivered safely into tqe hands of the owner, having been found by a half-day tripper from L verpool. My friends were greatly sur- prised at the prompt recovery, aad believe that if they had not engaged the Crier the pur33 would never have been restordl, as they were leaving for home early on the morrow and the iind^r returned to Liverpool tho same evening.—Yours very faithfully, WlI.

Abergele. Cruof Hawker. Evidence as to a case of cruelty to a donkey was given on Saturday at Abergele against Philip Murray, a hawker, of Victoria Road, Rhyl. The defendant hired a donkey and cart) at la. 6d. for the day. In addition to making the animal draw a load of raga and bones, two companions and himself rode in the cart. In order to make the donkey draw this load the defendant beat it with the nailed heel of an old boot, thereby inflicting wounds on the tail. The Bench fined the detenamt JE1, and 13a 6d costs, and ordered one month's imprisonment failing immediate payment. No Lioenoe Needed. A hrge camp in connectioa with the Church L,idr,' Brigade is to be located near Rhyl for eight dajs from July 30..h, but as the site of the camp is in Denbighshire, application has been made to the justices of Abergele for a licence for the officers' mess. Superintendent Beresford, for the police, opposed the application on the ground that no licence was required, inasmuch as there is a first-class hotel adjoining the camp, and in his I opinion a semi-religious body like that conducting the camp did not require the facilities askfcd for. The Bench refused the applicition.

Holywell. Domastlo Trouble. A cas of a gid character came before the Holy- well magistrates on Saturday, when a dtjected. looking young woman, who wept frequently, made serious allegations igainso her husband, a Bagillt collier. The accuscd's. Dame was Annie Jane Davies, and she was charged with the theft of a brass weight, the property of a firm of grocers at Bagillt. Deputy Chief Constable Jones, io stating the case, said it was a very sad one. Tho prisoner was very unhappy with her husband, and was in dread of him, and she stated she committed this theft in order to get away from him and be sent to gaol. Police Conacable Jones stated that the prisoner came to him to give herself up for stealing

Lawrence's NERVE PILLS. Don't endure the pain you can cure. The spirit of fortitude in the old counsel "Grin and bear it" is good in its way, but it is not wise to bear pain when you can banish it. Nerve pains, like Neuralgia, Tic, and Faceache, with all the attendant misery, need not be endured. Lawrence's Nerve Pills cure these ills positively and permanently. They have done it for others, a trial will prove their worth to you. KEEP A BOX HANDY. Price Is. ld. and 2a. 9i,, poet free. Prepared only by G. R.

The Press. A more than usually interesting collection of stories and articles appears in the July "Strand Magazine," among the best of the f.rmer being The Fire Escape by Morley Roberts Colby's Crux," a very fine story indeed, by E Price Bell; "A Budget of Tares," by Austin Phillips and a delightfully funny story by P G Woodhouse, entited By Advice of Counsel." H A Vachell contributes another fine story in the series entitled "At (',Ioriani's," while the number also contains a further thrilling instalment of A E W Mason's splendid seriil, "The Murder ab Villa Rose." Among the many absorbing articles in this issue, special mention must be made of those on "Should VVomen serve as Soldiers?" this being a sym- posicm of opinions of prominent people upon this debatable question; and "Famous Feasters by Flashlight," a profusely illustrated interview with a celebrated photographer, who has on hundreds of occasions photographed the most illustrious diners of the land in the act of dining. Harry Furniss has an informative and humorous article on "Artists and Artistes" illustrated by his own sketches. Bart Kennedy writes a good article on With an American Circus," and Henry E Dude- ney contributes another pige of ingenious puzzles. Lite-s ze portraits of the King and Queen and their children are also included in this issue, which is, taken all round, quite up to the usual high level associated with this excellent magazine. The Great Eastern Riilway Company's new handbook, "East Coast Holidays," is to be ob- tained free from the Superintendent of the Line, Liverpool Street Statioa, London, E.C. Promin- ence has been given to some less known districts in East Anglia, and to the country between the Cromer and Hucstanton Coast and the Norfolk Broads. The illustrations have been made a special feature.

Flint. A Church Legacy. On Sunday morning last, at the Sb David's Church, Pentre, the Rcctor of Flint (Rev W Ll Nrcholas, M.A.) gratefully acknowledged the receipt of a legacy towards the restoration of that church, left by Miss Sophia Williams, who was a member of a family who had been connected with the church mtny yeirs. The Rector remarked that during his long incumbency of thirty years it was only the secoad legacy he had received for Church purposes.

St. Asaph Petty Sessions. MONDAY.—Before Major Birch (chairman), Dr A E Davies, Colonel Parry, D.S.O., and Mesna R C Enyon, Thomas Aitken, and William Morris. Allegiance to King Ceorge V. The Magistrates' Clerk (Mr F J Gamlin) ad- minister ed the oath of allegiance to his Majesty King George V. to the whole of the Bench, with the exception of Mr Morris, who was recently re- sworn at Rhyl, One thing about this ceremony which did not escape notice and comment by some in court was that none of their worships stood while taking the oath. Lunacy Settlement Case. Mr Charles Grimsley, clerk of the St. Asaph Union, applied on behalf of the Board of Guardians for an order adjudicating the settlement of a lunacy case with which they had been saddled for some time past to be in the Swindon Union. His statement in support of the application showed that the case had entailed a very searching enquiry. Prior to her removal to Danbigh Asylum in Sep- tember last the woman in question resided at Rhuddlan. The Bench granted the application and made an order against the Swindon Union for the payment of JE18 19s 9d maintenance expenses and £1 Is removal expenses. The Smithfield. Mrs Roberts, of the Plough Hotel, was granted authority to sell intoxicants at the Smithfield on the occasion of Messrs Frank Lloyd and Sons' sales on the 7th and 21st inst. Rate Cases. Mr James Kilner, assistant overseer, appeared on behalf of the overseers of Rhuddlan in a series of prosecutions for non-payment of rates. A distress warrant was granted in one case, and others were adjourned to give the defendants an opportunfty of redeeming their promises. The other parties, it was stated, had paid up since the issue of the summonses, consequently the pro- ceedings against them were withdrawn. Improving the Acoustics of the Court. Some time ago application was made on behalf of the court to the Office of Works for a flag to im- prove the acoustics of the courtroom, which is Government property. Enquiry was then made by the Office of Works as to whether his Honour Judge S Moss, who occasionally holds courts in the same place, had any complaint to make regarding its acoustio properties, and on his replying in the negative the Oflioe of Works intimated that if the magistrates desired a flsg it would have to be pro- vided at their own expense. The Bench on receipt of this communication did not decide upon any other course. Mr Aitken, however, has not let the matter rest, and now, thanks to his efforts, a curtain has been fixed behind the magistrates' seats which, we understand, has greatly improved the hearing of procaedings by the magistrates

Cricket. RHYL COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS v EPWORTH COLLEGE. Played at Epworth College last Saturday, the homfsters having a very easy victory. The Com- mercials were all out for 34, C Houghton (17) alone making anything like a stand. J P Hodgson's bowling was very effective, his record being seven wickets for 15 runs. The remaining three wickets were secured by J W Furrow at a cost of 19 runs. The homesters' innings was notable for the fruitful I partnership of J H Kempton and S B Stater, who, after nine wickets had been lost for 46 runs more than doubled that figure before stumps were drawn.

the weight, and she told him she had taken it in order to get sent to gaol, or the union, or some home, out of her husband's way. The Chairman (Mr S Jones): Did she give you any reason for that statement?- That he was very cruel to her, beabing her. She said she intended taking poison on the Wednesday, only her little daughter knocked the bottle out of her hand. -Do you know anything regarding her husband ?-He is drinking as much as he can earn, I believe. A month ago he nearly killed her.—The Chairman told the prisoner they were going to discharge her, and they would ask the police to keep a sharp look-out upon her husband. The very first opportunity she got she should bring her husband before them, and they would deal with him as he deserved. Window Smash ng. At the Holywell Police Court on Monday George Taylor, 18, stated to be of no fixed abode, was charged with breaking two panes of- glas3 in the window of a Whitford-street grocer on Saturday night. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was liberated from Carnarvon Gaol on Friday, and he tramped to Holywell, reaching the town at 8 p.m. About half-past ten he went along Whitford-street in a state of drankenness. Ho struck the window of one shop and then smash- ed two panes of glass in anothar, cutting his wrist in doing so. When arrested and charged with wilful damage, he replied that he fell through the window. —The Chairman (Mr S Jones) said the Bench were determined to put, a stop to the conduct of the likes of him. You neither toil nor spin, and I think the best thing wo can do is to send you to toil and spin for his Majesty the King for one month."
