Dr.. Coleman Improves Hair-Vim
Plant.
DR.. Julia P H. Coleman, head of the
Hair-Vim Chemical Company, has
completely remodelled her establish
ment at 1894 u Street northwest,
putting in improvements valued at
not less than $1,000. The innovations
include the enlargement of the front
window-now a broad expanse of
plate-class-the extension of the cleo
trio lighting plant, new laboratory
apparatus and the latest and best ia
cilities for Identification, hair-dress-
ing and the handling of toilet prepare
tons. DR.. Coleman has built up a
splendid business here and has a
mail-order patronage of large pro-
portions, besides regular sale of her
Hair-Vim manufactures in the drug
stores of the land. She has natural
genius for business and the evidence
of her prosperity is but a starter for
for bigger things for the near future.
DR.. Coleman is leader in the Nation
al Negro Business League, as secre-
tary of the Wage-Earners' Association
of the District, and is active in the
work Of the John Wesley A. M. e.
Zion Church. She richly merits the
success that has attended her unre
| hitting and square-dealing labors.
: Meeting Place of N. M. A. Changed
: to Philadelphia.
Advices have been received by DR.
A. Nj. Curtis from the officers of the
National Medical Association to the
effect that the annual meeting of the
body will be held in August at Phila
: delphia, instead of Memphis, Tenn.
the place originally selected for this
years session. Acute feeling grow
ing out of the recent lynching and
burning of a colored man at Memphis
is said to be a governing factor in
| the change. The medical men of the
! Quaker City are progressive and pub
lic-spirited and they are already NOV
: ing actively to make the approaching
:. pow-wow a monumental success. The
sessions open about the fourth We'd
l nesday in August, and the discus
sions on the floor and social festivi
: ties invariably prove both profitable
2 and pleasant. A large delegation
, will go there from Washington.

Gossip of the Town.
Sergeant Daily Farrior, formerly OF
the 10th Cavalry and prominent
figure in the Carrizal episode, now
attached to the War Department
here, has been on the sick list.
Colored pastors and local leaders
have been active in stirring up in
terest among the race in the purchase
Of Liberty Bonds" Numerous
churches, lodges, schools, trustees OF
estates and individuals have been
buying literally, subscribing for the
$50 and 500 denominations. The
Investment is safe and a desirable
one and every man or woman, who
is in receipt of living wage, can
afford to buy at least one $50 bond in
the sacred name Of Liberty"
