AMERICAN LEGION “1928 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE” It is indeed interesting and no less gratifying, to note the steady, consis tent progress of our membership com mittee, in materializing their “Gigan tic 1928 Membership Drive.” Under the active chairmanship of Vice-Commander Paul Holliday, and his efficient corps of assistants, in cluding Metz Manion and John A. Gardner—a city-wide canvass is be ing made for eligibles. If you ever saw military service, either at home or abroad, then “YOU ARE ELIGI BLE FOR MEMBERSHIP.” For the benefit of those who are not able to pay their annual dues of $3.00 at once, “our convenient in stallment plan,” consisting of six reg ular monthly payments of fifty cents I each, will thus enable our less for tunate “Buddies” to enlist their serv ices in the “BATTLE FOR A BIG GER AND BETTER POST.” The natural inclination of the av erage individual, is to be skeptical about the things he does not under stand; the idea, within itself is per fectly logical, but not excusable; therefore, “ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH ROOSEVELT POST NO. 30, so thoroughly, that you will KNOW the purpose, value and activities of the organization in detail and I as sure you, that instead of KNOCK ING, you will gladly BOOST the Le gion. “HONEST AND ZEALOUS EF FORTS ARE ALWAYS REWARD ED.” Do you wish to share this re ward?

UNITED MASTER BARBERS Subject: Alopecia or Baldness By R. D. Jackson Is a physiological or pathological deficiency or loss of hair, either par tial or complete? Ever since man has been particular about his ap pearance, he has l.ad a desire to have a nice head of hair, and up to the present generation more time is spent by humanity earing for the hair than any other portion of the body. Every time we glance into a mir ror, or take our hats off we see to it that our hair is properly arranged. It has been wisely said that one’s hair is their glory; if by chance by improper care, or some constitutional disorder we have lost it, we begin to seek some means of regaining it. Some of the local diseases may cause baldness; eczema and dandruff - Dandruff is generally regarded as the most potent cause of baldness. It is a' plausible and attractive theory to attribute to microbic invasion, for the micro-bacillus enters the mouth of the hair follicle, multiplies and forms a thin microbic lamina which separates the hair shaft from the fol licular wall. Epithelial irritation causes the encysting of the bacilli in a plug or cocoon, then follows increased flow of the sebaceous gland, causing at rophy of the hair papillae. Some of these causes may be trac ed to city life, excessive meat diet, insufficient exercise, and some may be traced to heredity. If the causes be of a local nature your dermatician or barber, is able to give you a guaranteed cure for the cause; but if it is from a constitution al cause you would have to consult a physician, and with the help of both, you will in time regain that which you so highly prize. THRIFTY NEW YORK NEGROES BUY LARGE APARTMENT New York City, Jan. 5—The pur chase of a large apartment house at 223 West 142nd street by the Pi oneer Negroes of the World, Inc., was announced Thursday of last week by the president, William L.

ARTHUR BRISBANE LIKES NEGRO PULLMAN PORTERS Arthur Brisbane, the famous Hearst newspapers’ columnist, says: “For the first time, Chinese replace colored men as porters on trains. The Northwestern-Union Pacific lines have installed twelve young Chinese as club car porters in place of Ne groes. All but one of the twelve are American born. “They will work well, doubtless, but the public, satisfied with excel lent service rendered by colored por ters, will not like them displaced. Colored men are descendants of those brought to this country against their will, as slaves and for that reason are entitled to especial considera tion.” xx-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-; Y Stand—WE. 6406 Pea— JA. 4586 | I y —24 Hour Service— | LINCOLN TAXI f { Funeral and Wedding Service | LEROY CHILDS, Prop. £j V Stand at PEAT’S CAFE f y Y 24th and Clark St. | Give Us a Trial 1 | xx-x-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-x-xx-i X-XX*XX-XX-X>XX*XX*XX**X*X> X f f For LOWER PRICES ? {S FURNITURE | ? y j x Hugs and Draperies ^ I with CREDIT | y and the smallest monthly .j> X payments see X S HARTMAN’S t | 413-15-17 So. 16th St ] WATERS f BARNHART PRINTING CO. -. a & ; I EMERSON’S LAUNDRY | •j- The Laundry That Suita AH *t* £ 1301 No. 24th St. Web. 0820 f *5*^^^HX^K^HXHX^XMX*4X,WX,*XMX' W^^X^W^W^XK^ ■& H j Reid-Duffy ! t PHARMACY ]: r FREE DELIVERY X | Phone Web. 0609 j; j; 24th and Lake Streets | •{• and 24th and Cuming X | OMAHA, NEB. | .a.>X,.X*‘XmX»XmX«XmX^mXmXhJhX ;i; HOTEL CUMING | ^ 1916 Cuming Street J •j* % •j; Rooms by day — 50c, 75c, $1.00 *j« •[• By the week — $2.00 to $4.00 £ •{• - % Y UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT •> | - | •j.
