Mauson James Tells Us A Wee
Bit About New Position
(By H. F.)
Upon learning that Mr. Man
son James had returned! to the
city to spend Sunday w’iith his
family, I was anxious to hear
what he had to say about his
new duties as Assistant Post
master in the State House Post
Office.
The Post Masher is Mr. W.
Lawrence Oliver, a Negro.
There are two white clerks. The
mail carrier is a Negro, as is the
utility man. Some eight or nine
sacks of outgoing mail are hand
led each da,y.
All in all, Mr. James is very
well pleased with his work,
finite hia felLow^-workers con
genial and is quite a “man
about town” in Dtes Moines. As
yet, he is uncertain asto just
when he will move his family
to Des Moines.
Mrs. Martha Wilson is ill in
a local hospital.
Mr. H. C. Burks was called
to Texas by the illness of his
mother, who died later.
Beautiful Hair
(By Mrs. E. Baber, 2627-3 Ave.)
Second Step, Brushing,
Preparatory to the
Shampoo
Part the hair in very short
paces, so as to expose the scalp.
Then, with a good firm bristle
brush, brush the scalp. When
the entire scalp has been brush
ed, brush the hair. Take small
thin locks of hair, no thicker
than the bristles of the brush
will penetrate. Begin at the
roots of the locks of the hair
and pull the brush outward to
ward the end of the strands.
When about half way the lock,
turn brush over almost a full
turn—this movement exercises
the roots of the hair. The hair
roots need exercise as well as
the muscles of the body.
In the next issue ,1 will take
the third piJe-sihampoo step,
OILING.
MY Favorite Recipe

MAN comes into ihis world
without his consent and leav
es it against bus will. When
he is little the big girls kiss,
him, and when he is big the
little girls kiss him. If he is
active in politics, it is for
graft; if lie is not iuteres.ed in
polities, he is no good to his
country. If lie makes a lot of
money, lie is dishonest ; if lie is
poor, he is a bad manager. If
lie needs credit, lie can get it;
if he is prosperous, everyone
wants to do something for him.
If he is religious, lve is a hypo
crite; if he doesn’t go to
temple, he is a hardened sinner.
If he gives to charity, it is for
show; if he doesn’t, he is a
stingy cuss. If he dies young,
there was a great future before
him; if be lives to a ripe old
age, he missed his calling. If
he saves money, he is a tight
wad; if he spends it, he is a
spendthrift. If he has money
hP is a grafter; if he hasn’t got
