It's annoying when folks just drop in…but
infectious dandruff
is more annoying still!
Get after it with Listerine at the first sign of trouble
What makes the infectious type of dandruff so annoying, so distressing, are those troublesome flakes on collar or dress...and the scalp irrtation and itching . . . that so often accompany the condition.
If you're troubled, in this way, look out—you may have this common form of dandruff so, act now before it gets worse
Has Helped Thousands
Start right in with Listerine Antiseptic and massage. This is the medical treatment that has shown such amazing results in a substantial majority of clinical test cases...the treatment that has also helped thousands of other people.
You too may find it helpful as it is delightful. Listerine is so easy, so simple to use, and so stimulating! You simply douse it on the scalp morning and night and follow with vigorous and persistent massage.
Thousands of users have marvelled at how flakes and scales begin to disappear, how much cleaner their scalps appear. And remember:
Kills "Bottle Bacillus"
Listerine kills millions of germs on scalp and hair, including Pityrosporum Ovale, the strange "Bottle Bacillus" recognized by outstanding dandruff specialists as a causative agent of infectious dandruff.
This germ-killing action, we believe, helps to explain why, in a clinical test, 70% of dandruff sufferers showed either complete disappearance of or marked improvement in the symptoms of dandruff within a month. Lambert Pharmacal Co. St. Louis Missouri
The Treatment
men: Douse full strength Listerine Antiseptic on the scalp morning and night. women: Part the hair at various places, and apply Listerine Antiseptic right along the part with a medicine dropper, to avoid wetting the hair excessively.
Always follow with vigorous and persistent massage with fingers or a good hairbrush. Continue the treatment as long as dandruff is in evidence. And even though you're free from dandruff, enjoy a Listerine Antiseptic massage once a week to guard against infection. Listerine is the same antiseptic that has been famous for more than 50 years as a mouth wash and gargle.
LISTERINE — the delightful treatment
Earthbound
Is there a strange, ethereal, mental cord that binds the consciousness of those departed from this world with those that remain? Are souls denied liberation after transition until they have communicated important messages to their loved ones? Are the fantastic experiments of the seance room trickery or fraud, or are they the result of earthbound entities seeking freedom from the confining interests of this world? Is the human consciousness suspended for an indefinite period between the spiritual and earthly realms? Is psychic communication, with minds gone on, a farce or a fact?
STRANGE HAPPENINGS
You have had them—everyone has. That unexplainable feeling of an invisible presence, that someone unseen was near or standing behind you. You have become suddenly conscious of your name being called—and yet no sound was outwardly audible. These and innumerable other strange experiences cannot be brushed aside as imagination or fancy. These occurrences are just as much established phenomena—manifestations of nature and Cosmic law—as the coming of day and night. In past times, men and women were willing to condemn to oblivion the mysteries of self—the psychic functionings of their being—all because a skeptical and bigoted material science scoffed at them.
Today is a day of frankness and so the Rosicrucians boldly proclmm what they have known for centuries. The Rosicrucians (not a religious organization), a fraternity of liberal-minded men and women, have dared to tear aside the veil that hid these facts about man's inner life. They have seriously investigated those realms upon which religion cast no light—and which the superstitious called magic. Their results have been astounding. They have discovered what caused some men and women to be successes, how personality originates and evolves; they have shown how intuition and hunches are not just phrases, but are DEMONSTRABLE processes of the human mind.

IF you're that man, here's something that will interest you.
Not a magic formula—not a get-rich-quick scheme—but something more substantial, more practical. Of course, you need something more than just the desire to be an accountant. You've got to pay the price—be willing to study earnestly, thoroughly.
Still, wouldn't it be worth your while to sacrifice some of your leisure in favor of interesting home study—over a comparatively brief period in your life? Always provided that the rewards were good—a salary of $2,000 to $10,000?
An accountant's duties are interesting, varied and of real worth to his employers. He has standing!
Do you feel that such things aren't for you? Well, don't be too sure. Very possibly they can be!
Why not, like so many before you, investigate LaSalle's modern Problem Method of training for an accountancy position?
Just suppose you were permitted to work in a large accounting house under the personal supervision of an expert accountant. Suppose, with his aid, you studied accounting principles and solved problems day by day—easy ones at first—then the more difficult ones. If you could do this—and if you could turn to him for advice as the problems became complex—soon you'd master them all.
That's the training you follow in principle under the LaSalle Problem Method.
You cover accountancy from the basic Principles right up through Accountancy Systems and Income Tax Procedure. Then you add C. P. A. Training and prepare for the C. P. A. examinations.
As you go along, you absorb the principles of Auditing, Cost Accounting, Business Law, Statistical Control, Organization, Management and Finance.
Your progress is as speedy as you care to make it—depending on your own eagerness to learn and the time you spend in study.
Will recognition come? The only answer, as you know, is that success does come to the man who is really trained. It's possible your employers will notice your improvement in a very few weeks or months. Indeed, many LaSalle graduates have paid for their training—with increased earnings—before they have completed it! For accountants, who are trained in organization and management, are the executives of the future.
Write For This Free Book
For your own good don't put off investigation of all the facts. Write for our free 48-page book, "Accountancy, The Profession That Pays." It'll prove that accountancy offers brilliant futures to those who aren't afraid of serious home study. Send us the coupon now.

DO WE HAVE TO DIE?
Is there a Power within that can give Health, Youth, Happiness, Success?
Can we cast off all fear, negation, failure, worry, poverty and disease? Can we reach those mental and spiritual heights which at present appear unattainable? To these eternal questions, the answers given by Edwin J. Dingle, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, are unusual. He reveals the story of a remarkable system of mind and body control that often leads to almost unbelievable improvement in power of mind, achievement of business and professional success, and new happiness. Many report improvement in health. Others tell of magnetic personality, courage and poise.
The method was found in remote and mysterious Tibet, formerly a forbidden country, rarely visited by outsiders, and often called the land of miracles in the astounding books written about it. Here, behind the highest mountains in the world, Mr. Dingle learned the extraordinary system he is now disclosing to the Western World.
He maintains that all of us are giants in strength and mind-power, capable of surprising feats. From childhood, however, we are hypnotized, our powers put to sleep, by the suggestions of associates, by what we read, and by various other experiences. To realize their really marvelous powers, men and women must escape from this hypnotism. The method found by Mr. Dingle in Tibet is said to be remarkably instrumental in freeing the mind of the hypnotizing ideas that paralyze the giant powers within us.
A nine-thousand word treatise revealing many startling results of this system is now being offered by the Institute of Mentalphysics, 213 South Hobart Blvd., Dept. 38E, Los Angeles, Calif. They offer to send it free to any readers who quickly send their names and addresses. Readers are urged to write them promptly, as only a limited number of the free treatises have been printed.

ARE YOUR DREAMS REAL—VIVIDLY REAL?
Do you come alive at night, in your dreams? If your "night life" is as realistic, as true to life, as your everyday existence—then watch out! For dreams may well be dangerous....
Listen to the story of Henry Stevens, insurance salesman of Midland City, Illinois. He had two lives—two
DREAMER'S WORLDS
* —and never knew which was real! This tremendous novelette by Edmond Hamilton, scheduled for your next issue of WEIRD TALES, is the absorbing, dramatic study of an ordinary man.... and his extraordinary dreams. At night—every night since earliest childhood—he became Khal Kan, prince of Jotan on the fantastic world of Thar; day by day, the dream carried forward the prince's life. As Henry Stevens goes to school, gets a job, gets married—so Khal Kan learns to ride and fence, patrols the mountains, does battle with his father's enemies. "Waking" each night into the life of the prince, it seems that Henry Stevens is a dream. And every morning, when Henry Stevens wakes... surely the world of Thar—its strange cities and enormous mountains, its turquoise seas, twin moons and crimson sun—are nothing but a dream? And yet... The answer, and the terrible climax to Henry Stevens' dream, are vaiting for you in the November issue!
From Frank Gruber comes a very enthralling tale of scientists who nose into secrets far better left alone—secrets buried deep in the dusty pages of...THE BOOK OF THE DEAD! You'll find thrills galore in this story of the Egyptian Ramahadin—last of the great high-priests—whom a long dead formula has raised from the silence of the centuries!

YOU CAN Qualify For REAL Jobs Like These
You, Too, May become a Foreman, a Superintendent, or Even a Works Manager As So Many Have Done
Perhaps you wonder how men—no different from you—get such desirable jobs as these.
Well—ask yourself this question:
"Much as I'd like that job just ahead of me, could I handle it? Am I well enough trained? Could I analyze the factory work—keep production up to schedule—help reduce costs—handle the other men—break in new help...?"
Perhaps you could. But chances are that the honest answer is: "You're not properly trained and qualified—yet."
"But" you say, "what am I supposed to do about it? I don't claim to be an expert but I'm learning—learning on the job as I go. Isn't that enough?"
Well—frankly, it isn't enough. To get that job you want, to get that bigger salary—you'll have to train yourself—at least, if you want to get ahead in a reasonable time.
Yet. if you have ambition enough to study for a few months, you can get the exact training you need—easily—the LaSalle way.
Take a foreman's job, for example: He's a much more important man today than he was even a few years ago. Management depends on him. But he must be good. Nor will old methods do. His ideas must be new—as new as the machines he supervises—as young as the young men he must direct and handle.
How can a fellow learn all that? How can you learn it? There's a way—the proved LaSalle way. By means of it you can learn to solve just such problems—to cut costs—reduce inefficiency—handle new work, new men and new machines in new ways.
Or, take a supervisor's job—or perhaps a works manager's job. If you're already a foreman, what are you doing to fit yourself for their jobs? Routine effort—even hard conscientious work—may not be enough! They seldom are.
But just as an ordinary industrial worker can, through LaSalle Home Study, become a foreman, so a foreman, a cost clerk, a cost accountant, a mechanical engineer, a department manager, an inspector, an assistant superintendent, and all the other minor executives of any industrial organization—can fit themselves for that desirable job ahead—with its tremendously desirable rewards!
Does all this sound too good to be true? If it does, we'll make you proposition—we'll ask you to gamble a one-cent post card against the proof of our statements—proof that has built this institution over a year period and scattered our members through nearly a million positions in all countries of the world.
Yes, it will cost you exactly one cent—or three cents if you fill out the coupon and mail it—to obtain a copy of either of the two fascinating books offered below.

FOOT ITCH
ATHLETE's FOOT
PAY NOTHING TILL RELIEVED
Send Coupon
According to the Government Health Bulletin No. E-28 at least 50% of th adult population of the United States are being attacked by the disease known as Athlete's Foot.
Usually the disease starts between the toes. Little watery blisters form, and the skin cracks and peels. After a while, the itching becomes intense, and you feel as though you would like to scratch off all the skin.
BEWARE OF IT SPREADING
Often the disease travels all over the bottom of the feet. The soles of your feet become red and swollen. The skin also cracks and peels, and the itching becomes worse and worse.
Get relief from this disease as quickly as possible, because it is both contagious and infectious, and it may go to your hands or even the under arm or crotch of the legs.
WHY TAKE CHANCES
The germ that causes the disease is known as ... ... It buries itself deep in the ... of the skin and is very hard to kill. A test made shows it takes 15 minutes of boiling to destroy the germ, whereas, upon contact, laboratory tests shows that H. F. will kill the germ ... ... within 15 seconds.
H. F. was developed solely for the purpose of relieving Athlete's foot. It is a liquid that penetrates and dries quickly. You just paint the affected parts. H. F. gently peels the skin which enables it to get to parasites which exist under the outer cuticle.
ITCHING OFTEN RELIEVED QUICKLY
As soon as you apply H. F. you may find that the itching is relieved. You should paint the infected part with H. F. every night until your feet are better. Usually this takes from three to ten days.
H. F. should leave the skin soft and smooth. You may marvel at the quick way it brings relief. It costs you nothing to try, so if you ar troubled by Athlete's Foot why wait a day longer?
H. F. SENT ON FREE TRIAL
Sign and mail the coupon, and bottle of H. F. will be mailed to you immediately. Don't send any money and don't pay the postman any money; don't pay anything any time unless H. F. is helping you. If it does help you, we know you will be glad to send us $1 for the bottle at the end of ten days. That's how much faith we have in H. F. Read, sign and mail the coupon today.
GORE PRODUCTS, Inc. :
