SUNDAY AFTERNOON
 IN A CONVICT CAMP
By MRS. J. D. REID

/, horses while some one jumps out and
 swings it wide open, in the typical farm entrance way Driving a few hundred l yards further we came to convict camp nestled right close up to a. wall of rock. 1 A frame structure well built, located near l a good spring of water, ideal place | to treat the Worn-out frames, weakened l by crime, and imprisoned for their own welfare, as well as for the protection of l society. Otter have been told "should | see the detention camp at Ketona,' and ] this was the only opportunity offered. While shuddered at the human ruins and the realization that "every misery and every crime is evidence that nature s 1 law has been transgressed,' I could not refrain from expressing grateful sur prise at the inspiration that prompted such treatment of those we have in our power to neglect, even abuse. It was the dinner hour when we entered and there at a bountiful, well cooked meal, even better than we had left at home. we found 30 colored women, 20 colored men and I am ashamed to tell-one young white woman She was there at table alone. The cause was just, she is better off protected from vice and temptation, busy at the machine making the prison gar ments, in clean, well-kept room, than
 free to follow her wayward path. Here she has time to think, even as she mends the tattered garments she can mediate over her own torn life. Strength comes from solitude, waiting. a communion with the best in us."
 It matters not her name; she is a woman, and one whose suffering has pen etrated higher life. And as she poured out her tale of woe and we looked back on the yesterday of her name, and heard her speak unhappily, I never feel it is
 too late, but certainly would admonish

Memphis Institution Con-
 graduated On New Feature

You are to be congratulated on the new departure which you have recently inaugurated. have often thought that | if you, with your easy method, excel lent bath equipment, and long experi- ence, would accept persons who are tenn porarily drinking to excess to sober them up, you would be filling longfelt want among business professional men and others.
 'T know that it has been your custom for years not to accept drinking man for shorter time than three weeks, but there are many business men like me. and professional men, who cannot con veniently leave their business long enough to take full three weeks course of treatment; besides, there are many who do not indulge enough to be con sidered chronic or steady drinkers. "As for me- l must say that I never sobered up as easily or with. so little nervousness or sickness in so short a time. On previous occasions it has taken a lot of suffering and about 10 days to two weeks, and then maybe get drunk all over again trying to sober up. Your baths cannot be surpassed and have taken them all Of course I be- lieve in a full three weeks course of treatment where it is possible to take it, but I must say that your new fea- who suffer as l did in recovering from a spree.
 wishing you success, I beg to remain, gratefully yours -. .P. S.--You can use my letter for pub lication if you desire, but I request that you do not use my name" The above letter was received by the Charles B. James Sanatorium, 935 South Bellevue Boulevard. Memphis Tenn. . Adv.

think less about your rights and more about your duties.
 There are IA camps in the county. From these are worked about 800 convicts or the county roads. This one is, however, a detention home for the women housing and caring for the feeble, sick men who are only equal to light farm duties.
 Dr. w. A. Burns is the county convict physician inspector, and he is devotng much time to this experiment in making the farm care profitably and humanely for our offenders of the law. The place is well kept, and while the fields are idle now, crop will be grown later and a young orchard and vineyard are seen on the roadway. The water is pumped from a spring to the mountain above the house, from whence a tank supplies service for the home and laundry.
 The laundry is recent annex, and al- ready has proven an economic expenditure of county funds, not only laundrying for prisoners, but does the laundry work for the Hillman hospital at saving of sev- eral hundred dollars a month to the county.
 The entire place seems well supervised and the inmates indicate contentment, although they all have to work, for by their labor the farm is operated. Why not more farms and less jails. Why al- low a man or woman to finger in the jail awaiting either vndication or punishment when there is so much to be done in the open for county or state, and so much to be gained for themselves. Nobody can even look from distance and see our prisoners peeping through the bars with out a shudder, and certainly distance lends entertainment to the view but if we could only feel that we are adminis- tering kindness with justice at all times, there would be more satisfaction.
 A trip to the convict camp at Ketona eonvinces you of the need of modern methods, of kindness and cleanliness and healthful food to make the best of the worst of us.
 We are struggling for new things, bet ter things; we are learning that "the pathway to success is in serving hu- manty.'

Preserving Indian Speech

 We are already beginning to regret that no photographic records could have been made of the voices of great singers of the last generation, while we shall be handing down our Carusos and Melbas to those who come long after us.

 Sunday afternoon I had an opportunity for ride to Ketona. We ordinarily think of Ketona as an industrial plant, the property of the Tennessee. Coal, Iron and Railroad company. This is very true, but there is another plant there that means as much to the community as the limestone deposits.

EXPLAINS WHY MEN
 ARE GROWING BALD.

Thousands of men are growing bald every day and don't know the reason why. Many of them never expect to save even what hair Is left
 This is indeed a pity, gays a hair specialist. who claims that baldness usually comes from carelessness. and that anyone who gives the hair just q little attention should always have an abundance of good, healthy hair. Dust and dirt help to cause baidneSs by cloEgtng the pores in the scalp and giving the dandrun germs fertile ground for prolific breeding.
 The treatment Is very simple: wash out the dust and dirt often. using a pure soap and destroy the dandruff germs by frequently applying Parisian Sage. e deifght3uIly efficient prepara- 1 ton that the best druggists every where now recommend to stop hair from falling, to remove dandruf and to refresh and inv.gorats tEe haIr roots.
 Of course. like all successful diScov- | cries. Parisian Sage has been nattered by limitations. which makes 1t neces- sary to ask for it by the full name The cost of a generous bottle is very | little, and Lee & Osgood will supply you with guarantee of satisfactory results or money refunded.
