Mrs. w. A. Redding of Jacksonville,
was hostess Tuesday to an informal
tea honoring Mrs. Raymond Robbins
of Chicago and New York. Mrs.
Robbins left yesterday for Brooks
vile, where she has winter home,
to remain until after the holidays, re-
turning then to New York with Mr..
Robbins, who will join her for Christ
mas. Mr.. Robbins is well known in
this city and the following extract
from the Times-Union account of the
tea will be of interest to many of our
readers:
During the afternoon Mrs. Rob-
bins gave an interesting talk on her
work, outlining its scope especially in
New York city, where she has been
so closely associated with the people
she is endeavoring to uplift, having
spent the past ten years in tene-
ment in the slums, where, in the one
building thirty nationalities are rep
resented. With her husband she is
helping to provide for the 10000 men
and 1000 women who will be employ
ed in the ammunition factories in New
England under the most crowded and
otherwise difficult conditions begin
ming January 1, and for this will re-
turn north at that time"
Mr.. J. D. Young will leave il. few
days for Atlanta to attend to bust
ness. While there he will be the
guest of his daughter, Mrs. Peoples,
and on his return home he will be ac-
companied by Mrs. Young, who is now
a visitor at the Peoples home. Mr..
and Mrs. Peoples and young son will
spend Christmas at Lake Weir with
Mr.. and Mrs. Young.
We reprint below an article from
the Salyerville (Ky.) Herald compli-
menting DIR. Carney Mimms. DIR.
Mimms is nephew and namesake of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Carney and is well
known here. He, his wife and mother,
Mrs. B. w. Mimms, who have visited
in this city at the Carney home, are
now in Louisville to stay until Christ
mas, going thence to Trenton, Penn
broke and Elkton, KY, to spend the
Yuletide with relatives. DR.. Mimms
has recently been offered by DR..
Broad a large sanitarium in Louis
vile and if he accepts the practice he
will enter upon his work the first of
| the year.
The article is as follows:
DR.. Carney Mimms, the able and eff
ficient doctor whom the Rockefeller
Institute has sent out, has examined
800 patients up to this time and finds
that over $50 have hookworm No
doubt if the people have taken advan-
tage of DIR. Mimms' lectures and ex-
aminations in the communities which
he has visited, they will be worth
more to them than can be estimated
in dollars and cents, as DIR. Mimms is
one of the best physicians in the state,
notwithstanding he is young man in
years, but with that careful training
from several of the best medical
schools that this country affords, and
his untiring pluck and industry, plac-
ed him at the head of his profession
which mark of ability brought him his
present position, as the Rockefeller
Institute only sends out men of ability
and qualifications. DR.. Mimms in his
lectures does not conf1ne himself to
one subject, but gives interesting
talks on many ills and deals with the
Infant and follows it to mature age
telling how to take care of ourselves
and how to prevent diseases which are
so prevalent in this country. We
venture that a few vigorous cam.
paigns like the one DIR. Mimms has
conducted throughout Eastern Ken
lucky, if the people will only heed
we will finally eradicate the many
diseases. The Herald takes the liberty
tn speak these words for DR.. Mimms
which he so well deserves, knowing
him personally, and listening to hi.
valuable and enlightening talks W.
lei that no word of commentator
can be mis-said.
