REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON
WINS SALARY ARGUMENT
Gets Two Months Salary From Ser
geant-at-Arms Without Sign
ing Attendance Record.

Sergeant -at-arms Bob" Gordon has
paid Representative Ben johnson of
Kentucky the two months salary which
he had withheld from that represent
ative, minus pay for three days. This
action followed Representative John
sons speech on the floor of the House
a few days ago. when he declared he
would never sign the attendance slips
which the ergeant-at-arms had sent
around to members. and that there
was no foundation for the sergeant-at-
arms Withholding his salary when
every one, especially the sergeant-at-
arms, had seen Mr.. Johnson on the
floor of the House every day except
the three days on which he had been
in Kentucky.
Although Sergeant-at-arms Gordon
declared he would not pay any repre-
sentative who did not sign the slip
which gave his attendance and alb
sence record, after Representative
johnson had occupied the floor for half
an hour or more, and had put the mat
ter directly up to the House as to
whether any emDloye of the House
had the right to withhold salaries
simply because of an attendance slip,
the sergeant -at-arms declared that
Representative Johnson's statement on
the floor was enough for him. He
therefore accepted the Kentuckians
statement. and paid the two months
salary without signed slip.

"A SIMPLE way TO
REMOVE DANDRuFF
Prevent Falling Hair and End Itch
ing Scalp.

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once. and that is to dissolve it. then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), ap-
ply it at night when retiring; use
(enough to moisten the scalp and rub
lit in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning most, if not all, of
(your dandruff will be gone. and three
or four more applications will COM
(pletely dissolve, and entirely destroy.
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly
and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous,
glossy. silky and soft, and look and
tfeel a hundred times better.
If you value your hair. you should
get rid OF dandruff at once, for moth
ing destroys the hair SO quickly. 1t
not only starves the hair and makes
it fall out, but it makes it stringy,
straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless,
and everybody notices it

Shooting Fatality at 1urlinaton,

Frank S. Bigwood, Is years old, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank E. Bigwood of

the head Tuesday evening with %
calibre bullet and was instantly killed.
The bullet entered the left temple and
passing through his head, came out on
the right side.
The family had just finished the even
ing meal at about $40 O'Clock when,
after joking with his sisters and broth
ers, he went upstairs. Three minutes
later the shot was heard. His father
had left for his store and had just reach
ed there when he was telephoned of the
accident. Just how the accident &C.
Cured will never be known, as the boy
was alone in the room, but it is supposed
that he had loaded the rifle and in some
manner accidentally discharged it. He
and his brother, Burke, have had the
gun for about three years and they
were always cautioned by their mother
not to keep it loaded in the house, and
they were always careful about doing

Monday. Frank wanted to look it over
and went upstairs to do so.
