Most soaps and prepared_shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampocing, as this can’t possibly injure the hair, Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in.

A mere repetition of some of the achievements and heroic deeds of the republican party during the past half century is permissible when we take into consideration the party toward the negro and his ad- vancement we at once become alarmed There never was astime in all of our history when we as a race should be more loyal and steadfast to the prin- ciples of the republican party than at present; for let us remember that dur- half years dministra- ing the past three and a of this present democratic tion we have lost practical litical, so and economil which took us almost fiity vears to | When the present democra- acquire, tic admin tion came in power the Daughters was held at the home of | Afro-Americans were drawing annuel Miss' Agnes Nelson on Prospect street | Iy from the notional treasury $14000,- | Priday cvening.

Saturday morning, as the Norwich and Westerly freight car was passing through the lower part of the East Side near the public fountain, it struck the wagon of Charles F. Wy- man of Preston City who was about to cross the street from the foun- tain. The two right wheels of the wagon were smashed. Charles Ben- net of the East Side wes motorman on the car and Arthur Whitmarsh of Hallville was conductor. The horse and wagon were taken to the biack- smith shop of John A. Walz where Mr. Wyman got a wagon to replace his damaged one. Struck by Automobi A number of nights ago as Mr. Gleason of Poquetanuck was on his menacing attitude of the democratic | Mr. Wilson and_his associates had | not been in the White House hardly two vears hefore they besan a_“gen- entire | | {son and the wt {istration from the seat of Zovernment; of this country who have shed their blood in defence of our country on nearly every battlefleld in all the wars this country has witnessed—at Antie- tam, at Fort Wasgner , Fort Pillow, Santiago and lastly in Mexico? Mr. Wilson will bear witness to this an- swer for he sent into Mexico some of the bravest boys within the U. S. army to be massacred in order that the in- satiable greed for blood of his pets in Mexico might be satisfied; and there were no braver men who ever faced the enemy’s fire than the members of the Tenth Cavalry of the U. S. who were_sacrificed at Carrazal. We ask has Mr. Wilson said one wqgd in con- dempnation of the peonage i Alabama, Georgia and in Florida; has he raised his voice against the burning and Iynching of our women and children in Texas, in Georgia and in Florida! We' ask without any prejudice at all has hesdone anything during his three and a half years to alleviate the con- dition of megroes in this country? We answer, “No, not one act” But he has not been satisfied with the pun- tshment which the negroes of this country have had to endure during his administration. He now feels called a little, inoffensive, black republic for no other reason than that they are small and weak. Instead of Mr. W son concentrating the power of the forces of the United States against the real enemies, Mexico and Germany, he jumps with both feet upon a little, weg, tiny negro republic like Haiti and San’ Domingo and says: “That which you have, I shall take away.” Only Capable of Small Things? But why should we be surprised? Is it not a fact that Mr. Wilson and is party are only capable of doing small things He has studiously avoided even attempting any real big proposition, but this is characteristic of Mr. Wilson and his party. As a race we are against the demo- cratic party because it is now and has ever been the negro's avowed enemy and the bran of Cain is just as visible on the democr ow today as it was in 1860 when it fought and drenched the soil with their blood in order to keep the negro in chattled slavery. We are for the republican party be- cause it stands today as it has con- tantly and consistently stood for six- vears: “Equality before the law. manity and justice to all mankind, of race, color or national- Pastgr Biddle Speaks Out.

In municipal politics there is no rea. son whatever for the negro to be par- tisan, or to vote as a race against the democratic party; for in our northern cities the democrats are as fair and just to us as to others: but there is absolutely no hope for us as a race in the national democratic par- ty; it is dominateq and controlled.by our political enemies; it has scarcely changed from what it was forty years ago.

If only every men and woman could be in- duced to adopt the morning inside bath, what a_gratifying change would take’ place.

Those subject to sick headache, bil- fousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have a pailid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very oftenm, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remark- able change in both health and appear- ance, awaiting those who practice in- ternal sanitation.
