Street Day in September.. A strong committee was elected, with Mrs. Strand, as president, Mrs. Leighton as secretary, and Mrs. Eddie as treasurer, and it is hoped that many other Hutt ladies will come forward and take an active interest. With this object in view, an afternoon tea was given last Wednesday by Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Kersley at the former's beautiful home, when Mr. Varney, the national secretary for the V.M.C.A., addressed those present on the great work done by that association. Musical items and recitations were contributed by Mesdames 8..M. Wilson and Lowe and Misses Knight and Gray, followed by a sale of .flowers,. cakes, produce, and many other good, things, which brought in tho satisfactory sum of £17. The conimittee wquld be grateful to any ladies who would offer to havo a similar gift afternoon. A concert and other forms of entertainment are expected to take place shortly, which are destined to swell the funds of the Lower Hutt stall in September. Part of the useful instruction on health matters given by Dr. Wilson at the Y.W.O.A. health campaign lecture was as follows: —"A most important question," said the doctor, "was the elimination of waste from the body. Nature did this by means or respiration, the skin, kidneys, and intestines. She also required rest, so that had poisons developed in the muscles and nerves by activity during the day they couldi 'be absorbed, and the system got ready for a new day. Constipation was the greatest cause of ill-health. This resulted in the first place by inattention on the part of parents to teach children proper habits; later became worse from want of proper exercise and dieting. Effects of this evil often came on insidiously, and only in later life made itself felt. Common ailments, as headaches, poor vision, rhoumatic pains, anaemia, and tiredness were all its result, and later might lead to conditions requiring surgical treatment. The question of effects of occupation on health was more serious and important in industrial.centres. Both health and output of work were improved' by working proper hours, with rest spells., and under beet conditons. Typists, pioiiiists, and others should see that they never faced the light while at work, anil girls requiring to stand long . houire. should ho given facilities for Wing." With regard to colthing,. the lecturer stated,that, speaking generally, modem fashions for worn on wcro more hygienic than the old. Some girls would go to extremes in any fashion. Clothing should be loose, -and at the same time keep the body at an equable temperature, while protecting it from th-. 'weather. ' Reasons for wearing wool instead of cotton were given, and slides were shown illustrating incorrect foot've.vr, and the results of the latter on'the feet, A. ..tail will bo placed at Veitch and Allan's corner on Friday, when the appeal will'bfi made for tho children's' pl.-iy centre. Mrs. L. T. Walkina>._d■-friends will be in charge, .
