tears streaming from their eyes tel
ling Of their life experience, and to
hear them call the social worker
brother Spinks," as they listen to his
counsel and act on his advice, is evil
dence which goes far to indicate that
they at least believe in him.
The difficulties that lie in the way
of such reform work were illustrated
Thursday evening when Mr. Spinks was
ready to leave for the train. Four
girls had consented to go with him;
their trunks were all packed and they
were ready to CO. While he was get
ting the baggage of two Of them load
ed at one house, the two girls at an
other house were suddenly spirited
away and could not be found.
Mr.. Spinks was assured by one Of
the women known as Madam" that
she was proud to see the girls In her
house have a chance to reform, and
this woman aided in every possible
way to encourage them to go, saying
that If she could dispose of her prop
erty she would be one Of the party.
AS the two girls were leaving for the
train the farewell scene showed that
large spark of human sympathy can
survive even the blighting effect Of a
life In the underworld.
Good bye,"" be good" write to us"
we're some of the sentences exchanged
as the two girls who had turned their
backs on their former life drove away
from the place where for several years
they have spent their days.
Mr.. Spinks says his work here has
Just begun, and he believes that
through the application of the penalties
of the white slave law to those who
aid and promote white slavery, added
to the wide open "door of hope" offered
by rescue homes to those who can be
induced to abandon their life Of shame
that within two years time Mississippi
will have no such blots as red light
districts.
One Of the girls who accompanied
Mr.. Spinks to Meridian said she haC
read the hood entitled From Dance
Hall to White Slavery" and tina
the book gives true picture Of the lif'
of women In the underworld, and tina
every word Of its dark picture is true

TWO WOMEN TO
RESCUE HOME
WORK OF REV. L. SPINKS BEARS
FRUIT-GLAD TO QUIT LIVES
OF SHAME.

Rev. Lycurgus Spinks, who has spent
several days in Hattiesburg engaged
in an effort to depopulate the "jungles"
by inducing the women there either to
return to their homes and friends with
a firm resolve to change their mode of
living or else go to the Penticostal
Rescue Home, which he has establish
ed in Meridian, left Thursday night for
Meridian accompanied by two girls
whoexpressed the determination to quit
forever the life they have been leading.
There appears to be varied opinions
about the effectiveness of the work in
which Mr.. spinks is engaged, and like
all reformers or social workers he re-
ceives his full share Of adverse criti-
cism. But this sentiment is not shared
very largely by those among whom he
has been working for the past week.
These women talk to him with absolute
frankness about themselves, their past
lives and their desire for changed
conditions. To see such women with

Until little more than a century ago
humanity had to rub along without
false teeth. of which nowadays one
firm alone claims to sell over 12.000,-
600 year. The first successful maker
was Giussepangelo Fonzi. an Italian
dentist, who started practice In Paris
In 1898 and. thanks to his skillful
treatment of Lncien Bonaparte. soon
made his way. After years OF expert
ment he discovered the substance
from which artificial teeth are made
and received the gold medal OF the
French Academy of Science. One Of
the earliest persons fitted with false
teeth was the empress OF Russia. Aft
er Waterloo Fonzi migrated to Lon
don and then to Madrid. where Ferdi-
nand VII. rewarded him with yearly
pension Of 1000 ducats for set Of
false teeth.

Don't expect a barometer to tell you
the truth about the weather until you
have tested 1t thoroughly. Two com
mon causes for unreliability are air
and water mixed with the mercury In
the tube. These can be expelled by
boiling the mercury.
In order to test a barometer let 1t
hang for time in the proper position;
then gently and with care incline it so
that the mercury may strike against
the glass tube. III there is no air with

but If the sound is dull and muff1ed 1t
indicates the presence OF both air and
moisture. The presence OF air alone Is
shown by minute bubbles. m
If at any time the mercury seems to
adhere to the tube, even in the slight
est degree. and the convex surface as
sumes a more fiattened form 1t is safe
to conclude that either air or moisture
is present In any OF these cases the
instrument should be put into expert
hands for rectifcati0n.
There are several kinds of baron
eters. The ordinary weather glass"
in common use is more or less unre-
liable and is easily made more SO by
careless handling. In fact, any baron
eter must be treated with great re-
spect in order to retain its usefulness.
