To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid OF the dandruff for good. part

uine Partisan Sage directly on the

ger tips until absorbed. You will sure
ly be amazed at the result of even one
application. for your hair and scalp

LIKE LINCOLN INAUGURAL
Loaded Rifles Of New York Guards
men Revive Old Memories.

As members of the Twelfth and
Sixty-ninth Regiments of the New
York National Guard stood along the
line of march today with loaded rifles
and under orders to protect the life
and safety of the President, old in
habitants of Washington vividly re-
called the first Inauguration OF Abra-
ham Lincoln.
The picture presented by the arm
ed guards bore a striking similarity
to that of March 4, 1861, when every
precaution was taken to safeguard
Abraham Lincoln.
War clouds hovered over the coun-
try as Lincoln made his way to the
Capitol. In addition to the large es-
cort of armed men near his carriage,
scores of rifemen were placed on the
roofs of houses along Pennsylvania
avenue with orders to shoot down any
person who attempted to modest the
President-elect.
Apprehension over the safety Of
Lincoln was so keen that the WASH
ington Rifles were organized to ac-
company the incoming executive. The
Washington Rifles were commanded
by Captain BaIlack, Lieutenants Loef-
fer and Harp, and Ensign Miller. The
organization consisted of sixty men,
all known for their accurate aim and
bravery.
