I A NEGLECTED FAMILY. I PROSECUTION AT RUABON. At the Raabon Petty session,on Sept. 10th, In- spector T. E. Evans, N.S.P.C.C., summoned John Jones, 44, High-street, Cefn Ma wr, for neglecting his four children. Mr. R, S. Richards, who prosecuted, said there was no charge of neg- lect so far as food was concerned, but defendant had not, taken proper care of them, and the food was in a filthy state. Defendant was a widower, and his eldest daughter, aged 18, was not very strong The oonditition of the four other children was the grave matter in the case. They were in a verminous condition and insuiffciently clad. In- spector Evans said he had had the case under his supervision since April 1914. Defendant was a blacksmith at VåUxball Colliery, and his average earnings had been 11 Is. 9d., but he had lost time. Witness could not say what defendant's wages would be if he worked full time.—In re- ply to the Chairman, defendant said he earned 5a- 2d. per day.—Inspector Evans, continuing, said defendant had been ill, and that he had relied upon friends to provide for his children when he was not working. Witnessed then described the con- dition in which he found the children, and added that they were insufficiently clad and shod, whilst the living room was in a filthy, dirty state. Al) the family slept on two bedsteads. The bedding was in a filthy condition, and the atmostphere was vile. He had warned the defendant on April 29th, and he promised to improve. He had warned him for 12 months previous to this date. Wifness made subsequent visits to the house, and found no improvement in the condition of the children. Dr. G. -Macdonald, Cefn, gave evid- ence as to the general condition of the children, which,he said,, pointed to neglect, all the children were underizoin-a unnecessary suffering, and their health was endangered owing to the state of their Fiarrounii)gs.-Samuet Roberts, School attendance Officer, Cefn, gave further evidence.—-Defendant was asked if he had anything to say, and he re- I plied that he was doing his best, and had lost a lot of timfl through ill -health. Hp waa a widower and his eldest child was between 17 arid 18.-The chairman said the case was one of the worst ever brought before the Court, but they had taken into consideretiou the fact that defendant's daughter was delicate, and that defendant had no wife. Defendant had been warned constantly before pro- ceedings were taken, and he would be sent to prison for two months. »

I RHYL ENTERTAINMENT LOSSES. I I THE MANAGER'S BENEFIT. I At the meeting of the Rhyl Urban District Council, on Monday night, the Entertainment Committee reported that they had received an application from the manager of the Pavilion and Amphitheatre (Mr. J. W. Jones) for leave to hold a benefit performance, and that they had recom- mended it be allowed, subject to his meeting the expenses. Mr. R. Hanlon, in putting the matter before the Council, :said the Council in 1912 allowed the conductor and the manager at that time a benefit, although the loss on the entertainments came to 11,500 without capital charges. In 1913 the conductor and the present manager were allowed a benefit, although the loss on the year's working was £ 1,100. Last year, as the war had broken out, there were no benefits, but in fairness to the managment it should be stated that the income almost balanced the working expances. Since Easter, 1914, the Pavilion had been open without a break. At Colwyn Bay the Pavilion belonged to a company, and when the troops came in the win- ter a committee was found to take over the pavil- ion and they made an appeal for 2600 subscrip- tions. But, even with the subscriptions, there had not been such a continuity of entertainments as there had been at Rbyl. The Rhyl. Pavilion and Amphitbeatreduring the whole of the winter were at the disposal-of the miltary for leetures, &a., and this caused the management a large ex- pense for cleaning Ac., which had to be met out of the income from entertainments. Daring the seven year that the Pavilion had been run by the Council there had been very heavy losses, but the committee were hoping this year they would turn the scale and have a balance on the right side. He believed, in fact, that they would have a good margin of profit. This had been gained without lowering the standard of en- tertainment in any way in fact, they had had more "star artistes in Rhyl this year than they had ever had before, and they compared with some of the best towns in England, such as Bournemouth, Torquay and Harrogate. Mr. T. J. Hughes opposed the grantiug of a benefit to Mr. Jones, as he objected to the prin- ciple of benefits. The recommendation to sanction the benefit performance for the manager was carried by eight votes to fcur.

RHEUMATISM & KIDNEY TROUBLE. FREE TREATMENT. Rheumatism is due to uric acid crystals in the joints and muscles, the result of excessive uric acid in the system that the kidneys fail to remove as nature intended, and this acid is to a great extent the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. The success of Estors Tablets for the treat- ment of rheumatism and other forms of kidney trouble is due to the fact that they restore the ktdneys to healthy action, and-thereby remove the cause of the trouble, and have cured number- less cases after the failure of other remedies which accounts for them far superseding out-of- date medicines that are sold at a price beyond all but the wealthy. I To prove Estora Tablets fully warrant their description-au honest remedy at an honest price —one full box of 40 tablets will be. sent to readers of the Llangollen Advertiser aa a free sample on receipt of this notice and 3d. in stamps to cover postage, packing, etc. Sold by chemists, h. lid. per box of 40 tablets, or six boxes for 6a.
