Mayor Kiel and Judge Spencer Address Convention. Woman's Auxiliary Meets at First Baptist Church. It has been said by many St. Louisians that the National Baptist convention which is now in its 38th annual session, in the Coliseum represents the number which John saw in his vision and it has been a question whether there are secretaries enough in the body to count the delegates saying nothing about those who came along to visit friends and relatives and to see St. Louis. The convention is an inspiration to the people of this section of the country. It was thought at one time the crowd would be small because of the high railroad and war conditions which make travel by rail uncomfortable at times, the moving of soldiers making railroad facilities short. But the Baptists of the United States determined to come to St. Louis if they had to walk and to take up the many weighty questions confronting the denomination as well as those of the nation. enrollment committee reported showing that up to that time one thousand had enrolled. Then followed the report of the Peace Commission, setting forth the terms agreed on in the conference in Memphis for uniting the two bodies. Without even a point of order the report was unanimously adopted. Then followed the feature of the afternoon session, annual address of President E. G. Morris. It was a fine document and contained many good things for the Negro race. He set forth the position of the Negro in peace and in war, and showed that he truly was an American. Dufring the delivery of the address Dr. W. G. Parks, of Pennsylvania presided. He is vice president at large and one of the most noted man of his career in America. He said many things in presenting the leader of the Baptists. The evening session opened with devotionals by Revs. T. B. Miles, of Mississippi; R. H. Hews, of Tennessee. Thousands of delegates were present Wednesday morning when Dr. E. C. Morris, of Idaho, Ark., called the convention to order. The devotional services were conducted by Reva C. First Johnson, of Alabama, N. N. Newley, Alabam, E. L. Twine, Mississippi, W. M. Howard, South Carolina, Dr. E. C. Morris in his opening remarks said. "We meet under different conditions to any under which we have met for the past thirty years. We come not alone as the representatives of a great religious denomination but representatives citizens of a great country, which at this time is engaged in the greatest war in the history of our world, the principles of which appeal every patriotic citizen in America." "No class of citizens should be more deeply interested in the war for universal democracy, than the Christian means more of our arms than it can possibly mean to any other class of people in the world." "We have been admonished in advance, by the press and many correspondents of the seriousness of our mission and it has been pointed out that more attention should be given to decorum, or orderly procedure in the conduct of the business of the convention and I find myself entried in harmony with the criticisms. "Many weighty matters are to be considered by the convention, and I am sure that none of us will permit radicalism to take the place of cool dissipate judgment under such a crisis as we labor at this time. For three years there have been divisions in our ranks and it was confidently expected that this meeting would see the end of that division, and that all factions would unite in one convention: "I wish to congratulate the members of this convention on the fact that they have stood to the man for unity, and have through representatives approved every word of the report formulated at the Memphis conference, and I sincerely hope that the convention will adopt that report without amendment or discussion; since its provisions are well known to us all. "I wish to congratulate the Baptists and the citizens of St. Louis upon that wonderful patriotic demonstration last Tuesday night. It was the greatest I have even seen and came at a time to give the convention the best advertisement it ever had in any city and was in line with the thought whaler was in the mind of all the leaders of the convention—in fact the Baptists; people were to a man back of President Woodrow Wilson to the end of the war. We are glad to be in St. Louis." At this point Dr. S. A. Mosley, pastor of Tabbacille Church church and secretary of the local committee, presented the gavel and acted as master of ceremonies during the delivery of the address. "We are proud of your coming to us," he said, "and all the people are in record with your work and have selected men to welcome you and the women will be represented also because they all an important place and without them the well would be of little avail. We are going to hear them." The chorus of 200 voices at this point sang, "Coutin T'Hear Nobody Pray," and the first address was delivered by Dr. J. T. Caston, president of the Baptist State Convention of Missouri. His was to welcome them to the state, and Dr. S. E. Ewing, spoke for the white Baptist St. Louis. Dr. B. F. Abbott spoke for the other denominations; A. E. Malone, spoke for the Business League; Mrs. M. E. Goins, for the Baptist women of Missouri; Mrs. Eva Bolden, for the first Baptist church. Rey, P. James Bryant, of Georgia responded for the convention. The response was patriotic and set forth many views of the Negro. Dr. Bryant is pastor of a large church in Atlanta, Georgia. Following the address the convention took recess for dinner. The afternoon session opened with donations by Rye, C. O. Pishback, of Donations S. C. Crockett, New Jersey, W. H. Wilkerson, of Nebraska. The The St. Louis Argus enrollment committee reported showing that up to that time one thousand had enrolled. Then followed the report of the Peace Commission, setting forth the terms agreed on in the conference in Memphis for uniting the two bodies. Without even a point of order the report was unanimously adopted. Then followed the feature of the afternoon sessions, annual address of President E. C. Morris. It was a fine document and contained many good things for the Negro race. He set forth the position of the Negro in peace and in war, and showed that he truly was an American. During the delivery of the address Dr. W. G. Parks, of Pennsylvania presided. He is vice president at large and one of the most noted men of his race in America. He said many good things in presenting the leader to the Baptists. The evening session opened with discussions by Reys, T. B. Miles, of Mississippi; R. B. Hayes, of Tennessee; and Thomas H. White, of Virginia. Secretary, R. B. Hudson, submitted his annual report to the convention showing the financial standing of the organization. The report was adopted; and after singing by the chorus, the Rev. Dr. W. N. Taylor, of Dorsicana preached a wonderful sermon. Fully five thousand people heard him. At 11 a. m. Thursday Mayor Kiel spoke to the convention. Judge Selden P. Spencer also spoke as a representative of Governor Gardner. Both received rosing applause. They were introduced by Rev. B. A. Mussley. Dr. Morris re-elected Perhaps no time in the history of the convention was there such a demonstration as when Dr. E. C. Morris was re-elected in the term as President of the National Convention. He was his desire to retire but the whole convention stood up as one and demonstrated that he serve. And in the midst of the wildest cheering he was unanimously elected. The other officers of the convention pre W. G. Parks, D.D., of Philadelphia vice-president at large; Prof. R. R. Hudson, Selma, Ala.; secretary, Dr. A. J. Stokes, Montgomery, Ala.; treasurer, T. O.

THOUSANDS AT THE COLISEUM MEETING Leading fraternities, civic and religious organizations and a host of school children composed a long parade that was formed at Harrison and Lucas Avenues last Tuesday night, under the supervision of Major Botter, who led them to the Coliseum, where a patriotic celebration was held, preliminary to the opening of the National Baptist Convention. The affair was under the auspices of a committee of Baptist ministers of the city. Before 9 o'clock that night, 7,500 Negroes including several hundred delegates to the Baptist Convention had throned, the spacious, auditorium, crowding the main floor and balconies, with a marked degree of levee oerrestasis, to proclaim their loyalty and mistested patriotism to the United States. The music of three brass bands and a chorus of 300 voices, directed by Mrs. Jones of Central Baptist Church, were entertaining features of the program. The pervading thought of the several addresses was a review of the part which the American Negro is playing in the destiny of the nation. "It is a most cherished position to be numbered among the dependable American citizens, in these days, when the acid test is being applied to all people." declares Rev. J. L. Caston, Master of ceremonies, in responding to an introduction. We further stated: "It is very commandable that you have gathered here, voluntarily in this mighty outburst of pathogen to give vent to your feelings. This is history taking night in R. Louis. From center to center, we have whole fabric of our municipality shake off sounds an echo to our shouts of joy, beneath the folds of the red, white and blue, singing the battle cry of freedom. But our gathering is not only significant because of our satisfaction in being able to register our feeling, but when the boys over there hear of our solidarity at Published In The Interest Of Colored People THE PORO COLLEGE UNINCORPORATED EXECUTIVE FORCE NAT'L CONVENTION VISITS THE EAST NOW IN SESSION Two Great Characters Represent a $50, 000 Corporation With $250,000 Yearly Business—Employing 20,000 Wom- en—Filling 800 Mall Orders Daily— Using $15,000 for Stamps Yearly— Completing a $300,000 Office and Factory.

Success The Midnight Rumble given at the Booker Warner the hospice last Saturday night, under the hospice of the Boosters of St. Louis, for the Doctor Bandy, was a big success, far exceeding expectations. An hour before times for the doctors to open, the streets were blocked with people anxious to get in and secure choice seats. The jam was terrific. Patrons in their anxiety to see the big show stood on seats and radiators, on window levels and other advantageous projections. The result was that much damage was done to the theatre, the cast of which was assumed by Mr. Turpin. The show lasted three hours and was greatly enjoyed by the big crowd. The blind tut took the hearts of the audience and over $20 was thrown to her audience and others. Everyone were paid by Mr. Turpin app. Mills and the entire reception turned over to Dr. Bandy. The amount was over $450.00, with some ticket sellers yet to report. Bundy Returns Thanks Dr. Legron N. Bandy wishes to return thanks to Charles H. Turpin, Charles A. Mills, the members of the Boosters, the performers, and every one who so generously aided him in his defense by contributing to the Midnight Rumble. The Bandy feels very grateful to all, and is also confident that their kindness will not be displeased and he will be able to prove his innocence and vindicate the good name of his people. HE HOME GUARD CAMPAIGN STARTS SAT., SEPT. 14TH The campaign to raise funds for the equipa. Colored Home Guard Company in St. Louis, will start saturday, September 14. The big-air will launch by the Boosters of St. Louis assisted by the Watters Alliance. Everywhere there is enthusiasm over the idea and Treasure Mills is confident that all race loving citizens will assist in making the campaign a success. More than a hundred persons will be actively engaged in making the canvass. The city is practically a unit on the need of a company of Colored men to help up the Negro's stance patriotism hope. The people are anxious to be in the "Help Win the War," movement from start to finish and demand recognition in every effort being put forward. One Company of Colored Home Guard will be a great stimulant to their loyalty Sunday morning Rev. John A. Whitited of Philadelphia will preach and Dr. E. Arlington. Wilson will preach at night, at Central Baptist church. At each service there will be a presentation of some of the leading delegates at the convention. Special musical program by the choir morning and Sunday school at 2:30 and the B.P. Y. P. U. services at 6:30. A special invitation is extended at the delegates to visit Central at all these services. Dr. C. T. Wilkner has been invited to appear and speak briefly at night. Among the prominent delegates at the National Negro Business League meeting in Atlantic City last month was Henry A. Smith, a St. Louis man who has succeeded in the clothing business here in St. Louis, Mr. Smith's store is located at 2343 Market and its development is retarded only because of the limited image he occupies. At the meeting in Atlantic City he was elected a member of the Executive Committee, which is a fine tribute to this city. As the league is to meet here next year he will be called upon to play an important part in making the event a success. He served the bond branch one year as President and at present is its secretary. Mr. Smith is a progressive business man of the type who is commonly called "self-made." He was born and raised on a farm in Hempstead County, Arkansas, near the town of Washington. At the age of seventeen he went to Little Rock where he became a baker's apprentice, but left two years later to take hotel and resurrect work in, St. Louis. He finally accepted the position of steward of the old Union Club, which place he hold for twenty three years. Mr. Smith was married in 1910 and one year later formed partnership with Charles Q. Clark in the tailoring and haberdashery business. He bought out Clark's interest in 1915 and continued business at the present address. 2347 Market. His trade has gradually improved, and he now owns oats and today his most important difficulty is trying to accommodate his ever increasing size of image in the present limited quarters. Mr. Smith's sleigh buying-talent has enabled him to foreign trade, adventures with the result that he is always able to give his customers the advantage of the lowest prices on the least grade of goods. This is being clearly shown in the prices he is now offering on fall and winter, underwear for men and women, also on socks, sunscreen, wear and dress shoes, overalls, work gloves, women's and children's dresses, dresses, shirt sashes, skirts and in fact everything in stock. He is also offering exceptional bargains in men's all-wool suitings. The quality is always 'right' and so far outlive the price that really once a customer the price that really once a store. St. Louisans should not be surprised to learn at any time that a lease on larger quarters has been secured by this energetic business man. AMERICAN WOODMEN OF ST. LOUIS START DRIVE FOR 2,000 MEMBERS In the next few days, every Negro in St. Louis who is of insurance age will be given an opportunity to join the greatest insurance concern on earth that is men to our people. The protection offered by the American Woodmen surpasses that of any other organization on earth, some escaped. Do you know that you can carry a $300 or a $1000 policy in the American Woodmen for what it will cost you in any other sound company, and you will receive sick and accident benefits for the same cost? Well, you can. If you get sick in the others and your premiums come due, they must be paid. If you get sick and have a policy in the American Woodmen, they pay premiums for you and give you something to help keep the wolves away from the door besides. Can you beat it! And what's more Bradstreet and Dun and the Insurance department, in all the states where we operate, say we are able to pay our claims. But the best of all: a Negro man is at its head and more than $6000 per month is paid to Negro men and women to carry the work on.

NEGRO SOLDIER ROUTS 20 HUNS Lincoln Eyre, with *pi American Negre* Contagient on the French front tells how Sgt. William Butler, of New York, routed 20 German recently. The following is a transcript from Eyre's art field, published in *The War* *Wins of Cross War*. "Butler's exploit, for which he received the trox de guerre, rivals the performance of Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts, privates in the same regiment, the first report of which was cabled to the World last May. It is additional proof of the fighting qualities of our Negro soldiers. "The engagement in which Butler played so seldom a trox took place in the early morning of Aug. 25 in the regional sector near Maisons de Champagne, northeast of Stremoulhoud. Following a sharp artillery preparation, the enemy had launched a strong raiding party, which cutting in from two sides, managed, with the aid of a aide-barrage, to isolate four of our front line combat posts, in one of them, Lieut. G. B. Jones, stepping over his light starshade was "jumped" by five boehes. He and four of his men were dragged out of the trench and showed toward the German lines, allying a disused communication trench Ne Man's land. On the way the raiders, with their prisoners,达過 of them, passed within a few yards of a little advanced post in which Butler crushed with his privates. "Don't fire. Butler! Lieutenant Jones cried. 'Not yet, sir, but soon,' the sergeant sang out. Germans Confused "The Germans were so flustered by this colonyship, which seemed to them to indicate an ambushside; that they wheeled about toward Butler's hiding place. Lieutenant Jones immediately sigmalled his four men to follow him and clambered up the back of the trench. At the five started back toward the American lines, the lieutenant criled "em have it, sergeant." "Butler tricked his warding to the bush Germans and pitched through the darkness to the point where he could cuffle the trench they were and ent loose with his gun. The boots 'made, uit a train,' as the Negro troops say, and without loss of time they skiddled homeward at top speed, leaving their officers wounded and four privates killed in the trench. "Butler chased them to within their wire, and doubled slew more some with his hand grenades. He humbled all over the sector in search of gray green prey, returning to the combat post only when he was completely exhausted."

President Wilson has commuted the death sentences imposed on ten men, who took part in the Houston, Texas, riots a year ago, to life imprisonment. The death sentences impartial resulted in death sentences for twelve men. Six of these men, on the face of the evidence presented, were found guilty and the President did not change their sentences. Thirteen were previously executed as the result of the first court martial in commenting on the case, the President said: "I will commit the remaining sentences because I believe the lesson of this lawless not will have been adequately pointed out by the felon, already taken and also because he was already taken and also because he was recognized of the罪行 by the face of the race to which those soldiers belong and an inspiration to the people of that race to further real and service to the country of which they are citizens and for the liberty of which so many of them are now bravely bearing arms at the very front of the great fields of battle."

Mr. Weil is a young man who is ambitious, fearless and aggressive. He is strong in his advocacy of right and justice for the Negro race. His selection will meet the general approval of all those interested in these rights. We need more men in the party councils. We need a voice to speak for us whose heart beats as our beats, one whose sympathies, hopes and aspirations are ours. Should we have had a Negro as member of the Board of Aldermen of the city, a city ordinance would be on the books prohibiting such moving picture films as "The Birth of a Nation" here. The Republican Party is depending upon the Negro vote to make sure the election of their candidates in this city and state this fall, and the Negro is looking for more recognition than ever before. The Negro needs encouragement. He likes to see the fruits of his labor as well as other men. A few more Negroes in the party councils will go a long way toward putting new life in the voters of St. Louis. THE PRICE OF SUCCESS THE PRICE OF SUCCESS "Eternal vigilance is the price of success." We cannot afford to become discouraged because of temporary failure. We know that: the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made a hard fight against the moving picture film, "The Birth of a Nation." We know that the odds were against the Association, but its duty is to fight against odds. A fight for the people in America, who are greatly hand-sapped, gave birth to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The St. Louis branch with its more than one thousand members is much stronger than it was two years ago. "The Birth of a Nation" is the same old lie. Our cause is just as righteous today as it was then. Remember, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Right must prevail. Keep up the fight. We must protest against every wrong. "Silence gives consent."

I want to say that the Steger Line of Pianos have been sold to over 250 people of this city by me, and eighty-five per cent of my business is in high class players, and mostly on good terms. I owe the steadily increasing business to progressive and educational advertising. Do you really believe that a dealer van continually sell real, and I mean real $750.00 Player Pianos for $450.00, and continue in business? A Player Piano that sells for $750.00 should cost the dealer considerably more than $400.00, but it is not a $750.00 Player Piano. Our line of Player Pianos are sold to to exxemptly, and they are easy to play. I can, and I am giving better terms, than any other dealer in the city. If you side track me, you pay the penalty.

WOMAN'S AUXILIARY One of the greatest attractions in St. Louis this week was the meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary convention which was held in the First Baptist church. Dr. C. O. Maxwell and his good people are to be commended on the excellent manner in which the convention was entertained. The convention was presided over by Mrs. S. W. Layton, of Philadelphia. The motto for the opening day was: "We will do a great work when we have a vision equal to our opportunities and obligations." The opening prayer by Mrs. Eva T. Dean, of Illinois was for a vision. There were many expressions of amen as she carried the convention to a throne. The welcome addresses were delivered by Mrs. E. B. Bolden, and Mrs. M. E. Goins, Mrs. E. A. Wilson, of Texans responded. At night the sermon was preached by the Rev. J. B. Pins, of Texas. He used his theme "Look Behind the Cross." Mrs. J. B. Baghnell, of Pennsylvania, sated a solo. The convention opened Thursday morning with impressive services, the motto for the day being: "We Must Mobilize for Larger Service to the Messes." Mrs. P. James Bryant of Georgia, presided, and the feature of the morning session was the annual address of Mrs. S. Willie Layton, of Pennsylvania. In the afternoon Miss Nannie H. Burrough, correspondent secretary, spoke. She called attention to the field secretary, Mrs. E. E. Whitfield, showing that 315 days had been put in by her on the field; visited 43 homes; visited 219 churches; held mothers' meetings and collected for the work $2,758.49. Miss Burroughs was applauded when she referred to the expression of President Wilson on Mob. On this point she said "At last, this country—President and press—has declared that lynching is a national disgrace. "Texas took a long step in the right direction when the stockholders of the San Antonio Express decided, a few weeks ago to put up a fund of one hundred thousand dollars for use in putting down lynching in that state. A reward of five hundred dollars is to be paid to each person who aids in securing the apprehension and conviction of a lyncher one white man, and one thousand dollars for the apprehension and conviction of a lyncher of a colored man." All through the address it was punctuated with appluses. There was a great time had by the women in doing their part of the work. AN APPRECIATION FROM THE NATIONAL PATRIotic CELLE- It is with pleasure that we take this means of expressing our sincere thanks to first Col. William Butler for his splendid attention and executive ability, second to the churches, civic and fraternal organizations in general and to the "little blue devil" especially for the excellent showing made in our demonstration of last Tuesday evening. We also wish to thank every one of the nearly 600 voices who sang in our chorus; also the accomplished director Madam Jones. We have nothing but the highest praise for our users, our program vendors and everyone who so co-operatively joined us. We view with signal astonishment the voice of the people for real leaders among themselves. With nothing but rounds of joyful praises for everyone we extend our hearty thanks to one and all. The following statement for publication explains the absence of Dr. C. T. Walker. St. Louis, Mo. Sept. 4, 1918. I desire to state to you that I regret exceedingly my inability to speak at the Patriotic Mass, meeting held at the Coliseum, Tuesday evening, September 3rd 1918. This was no fault of mine. The train on which I was traveling arrived in Nahville late and was side-tracked until 8 p.m. rendering it a matter of impossibility for me to reach St. Louis in time to fill my engagement at the Patriotic Meeting.

Minneapolis THOUSANDS AT PATRIOTIC EVENT (Continued from page 1) home, they will be steered to combat and every breast will throb with a removed vigor and the Negro-American will plunge on to victory. Dr. J. Francis, Robinson, field secretary of the National Baptist Convention and a member of the War Department, commended the Colored soldiers who are "over there," for their valor and heartlessness under fire. "They saved their life, blood for those in uniform," he praised about the courage of the soldiers who will give greater conception of it here under the grand old flag of the 'home of the brave,' " said the speaker. He urged the purchasing of War Thrift Stamps and Liberty Bands; "that with our 300,000 soldiers who are fighting bleeding and against bunker fire, America is against German successful elements of winning the war and answering the call of homogeneity." Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., was programmed as the principal speaker. On account of irregular train schedule, he did not reach the city in time to app "Joos christ was born in Bethlehem was a salvation of mankind, from a lost and sirtal world; God gave us Lincoln of Kentucky, during our most special days, in present our people from servitude and on life. Today, the world is a labor undergoing extreme pain and another truth—must be born, are the world will be prepared for the crisis that contemplates." was the attestance of Dr. R.G. Cain, pastor of Metropolitan Zion Church that was clear and responding as it will upon the hearts of his hearers. INTIMIDATION OF NEGROES MUST END AFTER THE WAR Atty. Criticenden Clark, deputy grand master of the Masons of Missouri, representing the National Association for Colored People predicted, in his address that after the end of the European conflict the Negro would be assisted by fuller consideration by the white people of America. That the day of Jim Crow laws, outraging of Colored women, and other indecent customs which to intimidate and murder the Negro would be proportion that our laws are fighting and demonstrating their bravery in France for democracy, to that same extent* will they light and demand justice and equality, when they return to America.* says the lawyer. W. H. Warfield King, associate editor of the St. Louis Argus, was strong in his declaration of the loyalty and patriotism of the Negro towards the United States. "If you were to ask me to write a history of my race, I said Mr. King, "I would pen these words across the shirts, as pathetic as the trials and tribulations of the lowly Nazarene; as dramatic as the career of Julius Caesar; as romantic as the life of Christopher Columbus; as loyal as Pythias was to Damon. "Like a tale from the Arabian Night, does his rise from bondage read, and like Aladdin's wonderful lamp, has this race of mind shed a magnetic glow and never fire of ambition and achievement, upon the pages of the world's progress." (Dr. H. H. Harris, pastor of Belle Avoca Baptist Church, was not programmed to make a speech and in an extemporaneous manner when asked to appear said, "We are following two flags: one washed by the Lamb slain on Calvary, the other, blood washed on a thousand Battle fields fought for freedom by our sons. These two causes are uppermost and dearest to our hearts. Side by side with the banner of the cross floats old glory and when they blast the梯, either to do or die, we march with intrepid 'tread to duty.' The other, another apprehension, suddenly paused and stopped with a flight to reminded the audience that he was not to make a new address, thus closing his remarks, which were filled with brilliant ideas and solid thought. Rev. J. L. Colson was chairman. Before After LEHMAN'S HAIR DRESSING Makes, Harsh, Stubborn, Kinky, Curly Hair SOFT, STRAIGHT AND GLOSSY. A delicately performed pomade and powerful hair straightener.

Saint Almo Cullen, Grandson of Mrs. Laurea Creth of Ironton, departed of Mrs. Laurea Creth of Ironton, 1917. But his wonderful and loving personality remains, and is reaching to those who know and love him as morning and night. A girl knew him to love him. His manners were his rarest possessions. They were a mighty magnet that attracted a body who came in contact with him. His name was always spoken in highest respect. And his character was unslidified before the world. His friends, both black and white remember him with kindest affections. And his Grandmother, Mrs. Laurea Creth, has a picture of him painted in her heart, which time can never erase. To her he was a Grandmother and friend that sticked closer than a brother. After reaching that age when youth becomes ambition, he left the old homestead, but he never forgot it. Like Nohamiah, his love was with the old folks and the old olds, and though he wandered in distant hands he always sent money back to keep the walls required. His grandmother never suffered for anything that his means could supply. Some day in the sweet Fields of Nohamiah, we shall join hands and hearts again, and in this larger and Eternal life, we shall reunite those ties of love, and please God, they shall no more be broken. We are coming where they hast gone! To join the Saints of glory. That about around the bride. Some day, our journey will be ended. And our broken hearts forever mended. Then, with all saints assembled. We, too, St. Elmo, shall be with these CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO: By Mysa H. N. Jones Mr. W. P.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need A Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than per fumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in their hair contests. In deciding what to use on your scalp, be sure and get ready for proven merit. Seebyn. Quimada is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a rear scalp oil; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinode is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinode, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Sebey's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thoroughly cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but in sist on getting Sebey's Quisade and Sebey's Quimacorp, asking for them by the full tnth. Price is 35 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.
