EXPLAINS WHY MEN ARE GROWINGB

Thousands of men are growing bald every day and don't know the reason why. Many of them never expect to save even what hair is left.
 This is indeed a pity, says a hair specialist who claims that badness usually comes from cayeIessness and that anyone who gives the hair just a little occasional attention should al- ways have an abundance of good, healthy hair. Dust and dirt help to cause badness by clogging the pores in the scalp and giving the germs of dandruff fertile ground for prolific breeding.
 The treatment is very simple; wash out the dust and dirt with any pure soap at least once in ten days and destroy the dandruff germs by apply ing every other night Parisian Sage, a delightfully."- efficient preparation that hundreds of druggists recommend as the surest treatment to stop hair from falling, to remove dandruff and to re- fresh and invigorate the hair roots.
 Of course, like all successful dis coveries, Parisian Sage has been greatly tlattered by limitations which makes it necessary to ask for it by name. The cost of a generous bottle is very little, and to supply the steady demand, The Lee & Osgood Go. all ways have an abundant supply on hand.

LINCOLN AND THE NEGRO RACE
Equal Rights League Heard Interesting Address Maryred President by Rev. E. George Bddle-Bishop Alexander Walter Unable to Attend Meeting.

of their convictions. Such hero in the superlative degree was Abraham Lincoln, from his boyhood days in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, to the day of his death. We fully agree with the great secretary of state, Hon. John Hay, who once said: Lincoln is the greatest character since Christ"
 When we think of Paul, and the other great and good men of history, this is saying much, but none too much when we weigh well the life and char acter of our hero.
 The south knew that Lincoln was most thoroughly opposed to the slave system and at once flew to arms when he was elected. It is foolish for any, one to say that Lincoln was indifferent to the blight of slavery.
 Knowing that he was right at heart, he took his time, he took into consid- eration all the states, all the sections. He was a master of men. In 1S60 when he was making his run for the presidency, he said in his great speech in New York: If slavery is right, we cannot object to it's nation ality, if it is wrong, we cannot permit its extension
 In dealing with the slave question Mir Lincoln was obliged to so act that he would retain the border states in the union so he held his ground against the radicals on each side of the question of emancipation; in prayer and communion with God he held to the right course.
 Among some of the evidences that marked Lincoln a hero, Rev. MT. Bid dle gave the following:
 In surmounting his lowly conditions and in educating himself for the bat tie of life.
 In his obedience to and he1pfulness to his parents, ever honoring and help ing them even when he had a family of his own.
 He evidenced true heroism in attack ing the extension of slavery in the days when speaking against slavery was the most unpopular subject before the public.
 He was a master of men, such men as Seward, Chase, Stanton, Freemont Beecher, Phillips, Sumner, Garrison and Greeley.
 In closing Rev. MT. Riddle said: Let us as a race revere the name and l character of Abraham Lincoln, a man ! whom God raised up to lead our race and the country up from the terrible | blight of slavery to freedom. l Let us teach our children to study | his life and follow his example. For the closing number on the pro- l gramme, all joined in the singing o1 God Save the King.

Abraham Lincoln and the Negro Race was the subject of an address given by Rev. E. George Riddle at a meeting of the Equal Rights league in Mckinley avenue A. M. E. Zion church Monday evening before a large and enthusiastic audience.
 Rev. MT. Riddle made special note of the opening years of the 18th cen tury. from 1S06 to 1872, the birth de- cade of Lincoln and other great men who stood firm in behalf of the colored race.
 Bishop Walters, who was to address the league, had to leave for Chicago early Monday. pr. Sa Marian rem dered two piano solos during the even- ing. Following Rev. MT. Bidd1e's paper the lady stewards of the church, com- prising Mrs. Mary James, chairman, Mrs. Clara Burr, Mrs. Betsy Evans. Mrs Dora Randall. Mrs. Marie Sylvia and Mrs. Almira Hall served refresh ments.
 The evenings programme opened with the singing of My Country, 'Tis of Thee, and Miss Hattie Spivery re- cited Lincolns Gettysburg address.
 Rev. E. George Riddles paper fol- lows:
 Lincoln was hero. We all love to think of, and honor, heroes. We love to think of Joshua, of Daniel, of Jere- miah, of Paul, of John Knox, of Lu- ther, of Hannibal, Of TOuSant L'OuVer- ture, of Frederick Douglas and of Booker T. Washington.
 The opening years of the 18th cen tury were especially characterized by the birth of great reformers. Within this decade were born great men who stood firm in behalf of our race; John Brown in 1900, William Lloyd Garrison in 1895, John Greenleaf Whittier in 1907, Abraham Lincoln in 1909, Wen dell Phillips and Charles Sumner in 1911. It is doubtful if in any 12 con- secutive years of any century such an array of liberty loving men and women can be found as can be culled from the history of the decade of Lincoln's birth; men whose souls were on fire with the love of freedom for all men, regardless of race, creed or color.
 These men contended even unto death not only for the liberation of the slaves but for Irish emancipation, for Jewish rights, for woman's rights and for the repeal of every oppressive law in church or state; and leading the van was Abraham Lincoln.
 A true hero is a person who for the sake of others, and at the sacrifice of life, if need be, will fearlessly and boldly face difficult propositions; they who have convictions. and the courage
