OPENS WELL STOCKED GROCERY STORE An Enterprising Alabamian Learns of Omaha Through The Monitor, De cides to Make It His Home and Opens Business Here. 10 YEARS ago when the Rev. Dr. G. G. Logan returned from attending conference at Tulsa, Okla., he said: “The Monitor is certainly putting Omaha on the map so far as our peo ple are concerned. I was gratified as well as amazed to know how widely The Monitor is circulated in the South and turning the attention of a desira ble class of people towards Omaha. The Monitor is doing good work.” Verification of these words are found almost daily in new comers to our city. A recent addition is R. H. Robbins from Evergreen, Ala., who has just opened a small but well stocked, up-to-date grocery and meat market on Twenty-fourth, near Ham ilton, which is a credit to our city. Mr, Robbins says: “I learned of Omaha through The Monitor. It was this way: I was attending my lodge at Nichburg and was given a copy of the paper by the postmaster. I read it and liked it so well that I sub scribed for it. The result was that I decided to send my family to Omaha, which I did. They liked it. I decided to follow when I could sell out down home, and so here I am. I have opened this little business, and while I don’t expect people who have traded with other people for years to give me all their trade, I’ll appreciate just a little of it. If I cannot compete in goods and pnces with my average competi tor and give good satisfaction, I don’t deserve to succeed. But watch me, sir. I have come with the determina tion to succeed.” The Monitor predicts for the firm of H. R. Robbins & Co., dealers in groceries and meats, well deserved success. LA GRANGE, TEXAS H. L. Vincent, Agent The "flu” has broken loose afresh anil the city has consequently ordered all schools, churches, pool halls, etc., closed and all,other precautions neces sary to safeguard the people. Rev. J. V. B. Goms, P. E. of A. M. E. Church, and a number of the pastors of his district arrived here Tuesday' and Wednesday’ to hold a session of the Ministerial Council, but the mayor’s order prevented any gathering and they were not able to do anything. Last Tuesday morning Mrs. Ella Durst, wife of Mr. Daniel R. Durst, died at her home here of influenza. She was a faithful member of the St. James M. E. Church here. Rev. J. H. Napier, P.

This brancr of our business has been given so much care and atten tion, and our opportunity forstudy X ing special cases and the results •{• following our treatments of them X have been so numerous, that I feel A I may be justly considered an au V thority on the subject. X Every woman will concede that A to be attractive in manner and as y beautiful in face as possible, is a X duty she owes to her sex, and to A possess this attractiveness and X beauty, even to old age, is her X greatest desire. This is not van •j* ity. It is simply a love for the X beautiful. A Every woman knows if she al y lows her complexion to become sal ;l; low and wrinkled, her hair to be A come lusterless and hard her nails y to become long and shapeless, she X is placed at a disadvantage beside A the woman who is outwardly at y tractive. A A visit once a week to the Poro X Culture College is now a necessity J which even the woman with small ’j' means cannot omit. i The feeling of comfort and hap- y pi ness as she places herself under Y the skilled hands of an experienced .j. specialist; as the delightful, sooth- y ing, cleansing creams are applied % bv gentle manipulation and the ex- y hilirating electric currents, fol- j lowed bv correct vibrations, caus- X ing the blood to circulate freely, bringing a glow to the cheeks, is '/ well worth the time and money X spent.
