Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff
The Easiest and Best Way is to Dis
solve II.

The only sure way to get rid OF
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy it entirely To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when rettr-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all of your dandrun Will
be gone. and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy. every single sign and
trace Of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy. lus-
trous. glossy, silky and soft. and look
and feel q hundred times better.
II YOU want to preserve your hair,
do by all means get rid OF dandruff,
for nothing destroys the hair more
quickly. It not only starves the hair
and makes it fall out. but it makes 1t
stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and
lifeless, and everyone notices it. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.

VELASCO HAS GIVEN
VILLA THE SLIP
Fresh Federal Troops are Keeping
the Mexican Rebels Quite
Busy.

United Press Leased Wire Service.]
JUAREZ, Mexico, April S.-While
many dispatches have been received
from tbs various constitutionalist
commanders now operating between
Torreon and Saltillo and Monterey,
none of Importance has been made
public except that Gen sral Velasco
and his army and the cavalcade of
refugees accompanying him have
reached Viesca, station on the Tor
reon-Saltillo line, As miles east OF
Torreon, the federals evidently hav-
ing eluded General Hernandez who
drove them into the hills south OF
San Pedro De Las Colonias severa;
days ago.
It Is admitted in constitutionalist
official circles that the rebel forces
OF General Eugenio Agirre Benavid es
and General Loribio Ortiga have en-
gagged the federals under command OF
General Joaquin Mas and General
Javier De Moure at a point east or
San Pedro De Las Colinas, SO miles
east Of Torreon. but nothing has been
made public as to the result except
that constitutionalist forces are try
ing to surround and capture the en-
tire federal band.
The presence of fed erals in large
numbers at San Pedro De Las Colo
Mas probably explains why General
elasco and the forces under his com
mand wers permitted to escape. 1t Is
presumed that the forces of General
Hernandes was attacked by General
Mas and General Demoure and had
to forsgo the enyeloping movement
by means of which he hoped to cap
ture General Velasco's army, and the
civilian refugees accompanying.
If it we're not for the presence OF
civilian refugees, it is believed Gen
eral velasco would have Joined with
ths reinforcements coming UP under
General Mas and General Demoure,
but under the circumstances Velasco
had no course but to strike out for
Saltillo leaving the battle to be
fought by tn, fresher troops of the
south. 1t Is said in Torreon that
Velasco will never reach Saltillo as
there are between 5000 and 1000 con-
stitutionalists operating between
