DISEASES FOR WHICH
Fitclf's Ideal IDan(srQlEf
Remover
Is AN INVALUABLE REMEDY

First--Dandruff which may be re-
moved by first application. 1t will
dissolve it, Or convert it into an oil,
making it possible to wash out of the
hair. A dandruff remedy that will
NOT DISSOLVE the dandruff but
simply vets it down, making it ad-
here that much more closely, is posi-
lively an injury to the scalp, as it
will close up the pores or hair cells.
Fitch's Ideal Dandruff Remover will
positively remove every particle of
dandruff by first application, and if
used every two weeks after scalp is
we'll, will keep scalp in a perfectly
healthy condition.
Second-For any eruption OF the
skin, itching scalp eczema, sunburn
chapped hands, etc. To obtain best
results, apply remover freely, rub
thoroughly, then wash with warm
soft water, using good shampoo
soap. We recomm end Fitchs Ideal
Shampoo Soap for this purpose as it
works in perfect harmony with the
Danruff Remover. Dry and apply
the second time.
Mothers find Fitch's Ideal Dandruff
Remover the article for which they
have been wishing to remove that
yellow scum from the little ones
head. Do not allow it to remain and
thus retard the growth of the hair,
as it cannot attain it's natural beau
ty and perfection under greasy for
nation of dandruff.
Do not be afraid to ask anyone
who has ever used our remedy.

Tho Salt In the Sea.

The Pythagoreans held that the sea
was salt by reason of the tears shed by
Kronos, father Of Zeus. According to
the old Hebraic tradition, the ocean
was originally great body of fresh
water. but which was made salt by the
abundant tears of the fallen angels
One sect of Buddhists believe that
Lots wife-that is to say, the pillar of
salt" which was once the wife of the
humble gentleman named above-lies
at the bottom Of the ocean in certain
narrow strait and that once each year
the waters Of all oceans flow through
that narrow channel The Talmudie
writer's say that 4 was never salt until
Moses wept repentance after breaking
the tables OF stone.
