Mr Edward Baumer, the author of tlie booklet, describes graphically the difficulties surmounted by Poyey. the founder of tho firm, and by means of the origi- nal minute books gives the reader a tolerable idea not only of the troubles of f-lio average business niaii of those days. but of the keen per- ception of the "inventor," as the founder term ed himself.

RESCUE WORK IN NORTH WALES.
RESCUE WORK IN NORTH WALES. "GET RID OF SKY-HIGH CHNISTSANITY." "Let us show our neighbours we know that immorality as a sin; let us encourage our min- iisfcrs to dare to preach on the question, and to show their disapproval. How often do v.e hear it irueirtioned as a sin ? Why is there suoh silemoe on this subject ? What is the use of preaching the Gospel and teJLuig- people that their bodies axe the Tempie of tho Holy Ghost, wite-n We darva not openly oonoonm the overcrowded room, the in-sanitary cottage, or the Well-known haunt of impurity. Let us make 130 dead^lift effort to get rid of this sky-high Christianity of OUTS, with it-I head' i-a the clouds and its feat in the intolerable mud. We shall be more ful4 of hopefulness when onoe a sense of sin has made pro,-reos pomihle,, when the whole ques- tian is not ignored1 becarjse it is a disagreeable subj.act: when the men are united as a g,ixat army, to help the women of our iand to attack the degradation of womanhood from on;e at least of' its great tap-roots." Such is the spirited appeal with which the seoond report of tJJoø North Waiea Association for the Aid of Friemdieas Giife aa ekieed. Eatablidhed two joars ago with three objects— (1) Prevention.; (2) the rescue of fallen women; (3) the care of friendieee girls found in the workhouse and the Associa- tion has already aohieved much, and if the same enthusiasm and energy aTe infused irrto future work that have characterised its brief history rt is destimed to accomplish a groat work. Lady Magdalen Williams-Bulkelcy, L".dy Rachel, Mrs Ldwatrd Davies, Llandinam; Mrs Herbert Lewis, Mirs Owen, Hen",crwr.tucha, DolgaLley; Lady Herbert Roberts, and Miss Edith Champneys, Llandudno, are amongst the leaders of the Association, so that neither influence nor capacity for work are lacking in the movement. Branches have been formed in twenty centres throughout North Wales, and the re- POr-t gives with some detail an account of what has been done in the various branches. The committee give details of the 94 casos assisted during the year. Of these, proceeds the report, 20 have never been in the work- and OUT society has practically eavod them all from going on the rates and from mixing with the ordinary ins amd outs of a "workhouse laundry. A balance sheet at the end of the report showed that X9 11s 6d had been repaid, i-n- dicating gratitude in many cases, and a practical dosire to improve. = £ 79 10s Gd had been subscribed to the central fund, £ 97 18s 2d to various local funds, making the total of X177 86 8d. The committee thank aU the Boards of Guardians for their co-operation, interest and practical sympathy, and all the Poor Law officials. "In dosing our report," the committed say, "we wish to .acknowkxlgo with grateful thanks the untiring and devoted work of our honorary secretary. rIhey feel that a very large share of the success of the Association is due to her r-al influ,,inc; and sympathy with the girls."

HEAT SPOTS, RASHES AND SORES. SUMMER WORRIES BAKISHED BY ZAM-BUK. Skin ailments are common in Summer-time. More often than not the trouble as caused by the pores, or breathing holes, in the skin- getting choked up by excessive inspiration. Impurities imprisoned under the skin. being deprived of their natural exit, then force their way out in the form of pimples, blotches, and inflamed patches. The skin itself becomes exceedingly sensitive to heat and coid. Change of air and any variation in the hardness of the water used for hands and face, too. induce a burning irritation that is even more discomforting than frock, sunburnt arms and face, beoause it provokes. rubbing and scratching which opens the way for the germs of eczema or some other skm-dIc:e-a6C. The best cure and preventive for ail these Summer skin worries in the regular use of Zam- Buk, which has the happy knack of keeping the exorctory functions of the skin normally active and the tissues secure from the weather's eril influences. The rich herbal extracts that compose Zam-Buk are so uniquely blended and refined that the balm becomes possessed of extraordinary disease- dispelling powers. Zam-Buk not only. purifies the pores, but it shields the skin frcm those perils for which the hot Summer weather, with its increase of germ life. is respoTl,iblo. For removing that tingling irritation known as Summer Pitch and Prickly He-at, Zam-Buk is invaluable. A Teally healthy skin ie often im- possible during the Summer without the sooth- ing, purifying, a.nd germicidal aid of Zam-Buk.

Jdbnsom (Mstsrs Chamberiaau aM JoQ ap- peared :f&a:- the defendant. Mrs Adelade Maria Arzdd Gwymedd, Dagan- wy, saad that she aindl her darughtser were walk- ing aiiong" the D^gUnwy road when the saw a motor car oominig very qujokly towards them. Ihey ran up a aedfel road out of the way of the cor. which passed by ait a. f urious rate without sounding the horn- There was a traun on the line alongside the road, and sins thoug'ml that the motor oar was racing tne traan, as they running tc-geither. The car was swaying from, one a. of the roadi to the other, and that wao the reason tfue and1 her daughter ran out of the way. She had never seen a oar go faster on that road, and in her opinion the paoe was daipgeruuii to the public. Thoie was an organr grinder play rug at tii*. top of tho road suid a lot of ohildJnan standung there. In crot»-C'xajni- nation, the wibnietsu sadd thait when she saw de- fendiaait's car it w.-Ls by Tywym. Oontageii She aiad her daughter ran back severaJ yards and had time to get up the side road. She attribu- bed the swaying' of the cptr to the sjieed at wh.ioh it was going. She etitimated that the speed was about 40 muieu an ,hour but it might have been faster as the oar was going wt the same rate ao the tram ait the time. She had never seeri trains travelling between the Juno- tdoa and Llandudno at forty miles 021 hour; probably tibair speed would' bo twemty to twenty- five nuies. In her opinion the car was racing. Miae Violet Ftorenoe Arnold said she fully endorsod her mot'hei-'s ovidienice. She took the iiu-in.b,r of the oar. There1 was no footpath on the road, which, including the ditch, was very narrow. Crctw-exajnamed, sjho said two oars could p;aB8 on the road. Sira" betr mother were frightened. P.C. Wi.li!ia^ns said- ho saw the defendiamt. at Llandludao, and told him of the o>mplajnt made by Mrs Arnold'- He replied that lie was too driver of the car, and did not think he was going so fast as to cause* any oacnpIa.'nt to be madio, but he remembered seeing two ladies in a lane gesticulating aiftesr him. Mr JohmsKMii for the defence, said that hfis clitant was a young man of ooneidleflrablle experi- ence in motor driving, and had been driving various kmds of earu for the past ton yeara. The car åJa qiKwoion belonged to ihe defendant him- eieM, and was a powerful oar witli every pceahJe facility and latest invention. It bad- enmbed up the Great Orrne at lkanduduo. Upotn the oooaalon in question defemidant had all oldiarly iiady with him in the csiT, whom he was taJang to Llandudno, so thaft it was hardly likely he would be at anything iHike a neokieas paces. The road was fairly wide, amd the lane referred to was "not uaed for orcUniary tiraffi-o. AmoTduig to the ladies' own evidence they must have seen the car conning a long- way cdf. as they bad timo to run several yarcte. Neither of the wit- nesses would venture to suggest how faat the aa.r was going. In spite of the pace ait which the car was said to 00 travelJtai-g it was going slow enough for Mias Arnold to take the mum- ber.
