When a prospector comes down from the hills and sells a prospect for a good figure, from a hundred to five hundred dollars, and sometimes more, these fellows get about him and roll him. In two weeks he is kicked out, half dead. Oh, Hickey is a villain, and he is in league with the red-light houses, too. They work together, to the physical and moral damnation of the place.
Grandpa is a Legger All for one and one for all I'll never die a beggar. Bill brings booze from Montreal, Grandpa lets him through Oh, life's been rosy for us folks Since the red-light laws went blue." Pretty Sadie, aged fourteen, To a lamp-post clings serene. "What's the matter?" some may ask. On her hip she wears a flask Labelled "Tonic for the Hair" "Hic," says Sadie, "we should care!"
Thus does medical science go marching from conquest to conquest, reforming and rejuvenating this wicked and suffering world. Clearly the Rescue League should have cried for aid to the doctors of medicine instead of to the doctors of divinity. If the bicycle bacillus can be caught and killed, the red-light district will disappear and the Rescuers turn their wonderful energies in new directions.
Taking his friends by the arm, he ordered them to lead him to the red-light district, punctuating every step by a shot which smashed a street light, or struck some wall, a door, or a distant house.

All that was necessary to make the Post's Bawdy-house Guide complete was the addition of rate- cards.

If, therefore, a woman stood in need of a certificate of character, all that was necessary was to say that she lived there.
"You've skimmed the cream, Hughie, you and Dickinson and Scherer and Grierson and the rest, I've only filled my jug. Well, these fellows are going to have a regular roof-raising campaign, take the lid off of everything, dump out the red-light district some of our friends are so fond of." "Dump it where?" I asked curiously. "Oh," answered Ralph, "they didn't say. Out into the country, anywhere."
There is also a notorious and wide-open red-light district that is a disgrace to a modern and supposedly civilized town. Since alcohol is said to be particularly dangerous in the tropics it would be interesting to know the total effect of this general indulgence.
