KAFFIB CHEMICAL L ABO BA TOBIES INCOBPOBATE Enterprising Omahans Launch Ont ..Into the Commercial Field With a $500,000 Corporatlin. The Kaffir Chemical Laboratoriee is the name of a new corporation which has just been successfully launched here and is destined to be come, in the course of time, one of the biggest concerns of its kind, fi nanced by race capital, in the coun try. As a small concern its goods have been on the market for some months, but it was decided to incor porate and go out after big business. To advertise and push its products required capital. This called for in corporation. This company, which has just been incorporated under the laws of Nebraska, one of the strictest states in the union on corporations, is engaged in the manufacture of phar maceuticals, chemicals, drug prepara tions and medicines. The corpora tion’s authorized capitalization is $500,000.00. divided into 50.000 shares at $10.00 each: 20,000 shares being i common, and 30,000 shares 7 per cent cumulative preferred stock. The incorporators, who also form the board of directors, are Madree Penn, Grace M. Jones, vice-principal Piney Woods Sschool, Braxton, Miss.; | Eleanor C. Haynes; Dr. A. E. Fletch er; John Albert Williams; FYed C. Williams and Larry N. People. The | officers are Madree Penn, president; jG. M. Jones, vice-president; E. C. Haynes, secretary, and John Albert Williams, treasurer. The company has on hand several thousand dollars’ worth of prepara tions, including a pyorrhea preventive tooth paste, a face cream, an anti pholgistlc compound, a blood antisep tic, a hair tonic and others of proven j value, which it places upon the mar ; ket simultaneously with its stock campaign. For several months the company has been quietly but effect j ively at work organizing and incor porating, and lining up its resources and workers, and now enters the field , of big business with every assurance |of becoming one of the great success ful commercial enterprises conducted by the race. TWO UNUSUAL SUIT MODELS Toward-the-Front Effect I* Featured In Outfits Which Are Smart and Graceful. j-V . . Bernard has made some odd suits, perfectly flat from neck to ankle at the back, while the front of thp skirt flares and ripples from gathering at the beltline, and the front of the box coat flares forward like the skirt. Rather a weird way to make a suit, but somehow or other It Is smart and graceful. Bvlloz has also put out a model with this toward-the-frnnt effect, a blue serge model with rabbit fur trim ming. Both coat and fur-bordered | tunic slope downward In. an oblique line from front to back. Perhaps most Interesting of all French models I ■ are the georgette frocks with flounced I | skirts made of rather stiff silk. There : ! are flounced frocks of metal lace i also, and all these georgette creations | are so graceful and coquettish and j | feminine that they will surely “take” ; with womankind. ___________ COMBINATIONS ARE IN FAVOR Scarf and Skirt and Coat Arrange ments Are to Be Among the Spring Novelties. The lines being shown to skirt buy ers for next spring feature new mate rials rather than marked changes in design. Plaited and shirred effects still predominate In the new offerings, some of which feature novel pocket arrangements. Panel patterns are still considered good, although the aim of the skirt designers appeared to' be that of producing garments along simple lines. Among the novelties are skirt and scarf and skirt and coat combina tions, principally In the sport clothes department. These combinations are made of the same material. Special ists In summer and resort wear de signs put gabardine In first place. I ' SAVE YOUR MONEY and then get INTEREST On it in our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT ' • New Entrance S. W. Corner 16th and Farnam Sts. First National Bank 16th and Farnam HAVE WELL-EQUIPPED SUITE OF OFFICES Several. Professional and . Business Hen Occupy Entire Floor Over Pope’s Drug Store at Thirteenth and Farnam Streets. Whatever superstitions others may have about the number thirteen does not apply to a certain group of our business and professional men. This group includes not “the butcher, the baker and candlestick maker,” as the old saw goes, but a dentist, a doctor, a lawyer and realtor. Yes, a real wide-awake realtor. What’s that? Why, a real estate dealer. And he is a hustler, too. His name declares it. It is Nimrod Johnson. "Now Nimrod was a mighty hunter.” and this fits I Johnson, who Is a mighty hunter after genuine real estate bargains and pur chasers for the same, and he bags both. But, we are a little ahead of our story. We started out to tell you about the elegant and well-appointed suite of offices which are located over Pope’s drug store at Thirteenth and Farnam streets, and occupied by Dr. W. W. Peebles, dentist; Dr. Leonard E. Britt, physician and surgeon; Amos P. Scruggs, attorney, and Nimrod Johnson, realtor. These offices are elegantly furnished and kept scrupu lously neat. Miss Bessie Giles Is the stenographer and notaryfor Drs. Pee bles and Britt and Attorney 8cruggs and Miss Thelma Scott is the stenog rapher and bookkeeper for Mr. John son. whose office is richly furnished with mahogany desks and other ac cessories. Thirteen has not proven a jinx for these men. who are kept busy, and evidence of their success and prosperity is furnished by the fact that all are home owners and drive their own cars. Each brags on his own car. Dr. Peebles has just pur chaser a Buick, Dr. Britt is a veteran driver of a Maxwell, Attorney Scruggs sweeps by in a Pierce-Arrow, and Nimrod Johnson, with French procliv ities, rides around In a Chevrolet.

THROWN FROM SPEEDER; SUSTAINS BRUISES Sheridan, Wvo.—S. C. Stallings of j Arvada was ahle to leave the state hospital at Sheridan a few days ago About a week ago he was thrown off a speeder at lariat, receiving bruises on his leg and hip which necessitated his removal to the hospital. Mr. Stalling visited in Chicago and Omaha recently. “mrs. nrr." Mrs. But Is our next door neighbor, remarked a woman of our acquaint ance recently. Her real name is Green, but John, whenever he sees her marching up the walk, remarks: ‘‘My dear, here cotnes Mrs. But.” He is not given to calling people names; he says it merely to put me on my guard, for he knows our neighbor’s falling. 8be is a bright, breezy little woman, and as long as the conversa tion is confined to the weather and household affairs, I quite enjoy chat ting with her, but the moment that a human being, living or dead, chances to he mentioned, I began to quake. The first time she called—it was soon after we moved into the neigh borhood—I happened to say that Mrs. Goodwin, from the opposite side of the street, had called to see me, and that she impressed me as a very love ly character. ‘Oh, she is, indeed." said Mrs. But heartily; "she is such a devoted wife, and so good to the poor. But,’’ she went on. lowering her voice, "there used to be a good deal of talk about her when she was a girl, and though I don't suppose half the things that were said were true,” with a scarcely perceptible shrug: “Yes, Nellie seems to be a very nice girl,” she admitted, “but I suppose you know she is a poorhouse waif?” “No," I said. I knew nothing of the kind. Mrs. Gray had introduced Nel lie to me as her eldest daughter, and the information volunteered by Mrs. But was utterly uncalled for. One evening, on our way home from a lecture. John remarked that he al ways enjoyed listening to Mr. Spauld ing. be was so lofty and earnest. “Yes, he is a very interesting speaker,” said our neighbor, who had joined us as we came out of the lec ture room, "and he seems very sin cere, hut I can’t help feeling a little suspicious; I knew him when he was ii boy." John made haste to change the sub ject; a word of encouragement would have resulted In our hearing the whole history of the young man's boy hood. “I've no patience," he exclaimed, the moment we were by ourselves, "with people who are always bring ing up the past! Just Imagine what heaven would be If the Inhabitants were disposed to indulge in that sort of retrospection! The Angel Gabriel htmself would hardly be safe from their disparaging 'buts,' and the whitest robe in all the white-robed throng would be In danger of being smutted!” "And yet.” I said, "Mrs. But evi dently considers herself a good Chris tian.” "Oh. I don’t dispute her title,” said John, “but I can’t help thinking that she might be able to read it clearer if she would rub up her glasses with Christian Doctrine more often."—The True Voice. FREDERICK DOUGLASS AND HIS REMARKABLE CAREER (Continued From Page One.) On his return he was active in rais ing the 54th Massachusetts Regiment I — ' ■■■■" -- during the Civil War in which two of his sons, Lewis and Charles en listed, the latter veteran the last sur vivor of his children is now living in Washington. The war over, Mr. Douglass’ main desire and effort was accomplished: the Negroes were free. He then set himself to the task of preparing the freedmen for freedom by a series of masterly lectures and the issuing of the New National Era. His public offices were President of the Freedmen’s Bank, Marshall of the District of Columbia in 1877, Re corded of Deeds in 1881, Minister to Haiti in 1886 and that republic made him her representative to the World’s Fair in 1893. In 1899 the governor of New York, Theodore Roosevelt, made the address at the unveiling of the monument in memory of Frederick Douglass in Ro chester, N. Y., where in ML Hope cemetery his body rests. This ac count is based on “The Story of Doug lass” by Miss Laura E. Wilkes who says: “I have prepared this little book for the young folk of the race, because I believe the life of Fred erick Douglass will serve as an in ■ ■■■■■ ■ ■ ■ p ■ spi ration to every school boy and girl.’ _ FOB THREE BEAL BARGAINS IN BEAL 88TATE CALL MONITOR Office.
