Agriculture at International Exposition

These are few of the special
things that will interest the agricul-
turist and the stock raiser at the

be in these things they can arouse
only small part of the interest that

are now practically completed and
their domes are brilliant with oriental
colors. Sculpture is taking its place in
the scheme of things and the Tower

now rising on its steel foundation.
State pavilions are being erected, ma

cOMBiNG WON'T RID
HAIR OF DANDRuFF
The Easiest and Best Way Is tc
Dissolve K.

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
n1oisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most,
if not all, of your dandruf will be gone,
and three or four more APPLICATIONS will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff 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, 1ustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair, do
by all means get rid of dandruff, for
nothing destroys the hair more quickly.
1t not only starves the hair and makes it
fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly,
dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and every
one notices it. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

Advsntists, speakers at Tent Last
Evening Talk From This Sub

rContributed.l

(COntributed.1
A very large and interested aud
fence again attended the lecture at
the tent last evening, and although 1t
was a very cool evening. the oil heat
ers made It very pleasant and COM
Portable within the big tent
Tie subject, "Keokuk Under the
Searchlight Of Heaven" was a very
timely one. God is in these latter
days turning His great prophetic
searchlight, upon the world SO that
people can see the true condition of
affairs; and like the searchlight OF a
shows very plainly just where we are
on the journey OF life, but it throws a
glorious light upon the way ahead,
which will guide all who heed 1t e
Peter 1870 safely into the desired
haven.
The Lord says in Amos ST. that
surely HE will do nothing but He
revealeth his secret unto His serv-
ants the prophets Before the flood
He warned the world for 12O years
by His faithful servant, Noah but
the people only thought of the pursuit
Of pleasure and would not listen. The
Inhabitants Of Sodom were warned
but they too were so intent upon their
pleasure seeking that they would not
heed, and Luke 17:26-S0 states that
Even thus shall it be when son OF
man is revealed" How does Keokuk
look under Gods great searchlight?
Two great lines OF Bible prophecy
pointed forward plainly to Christ's
first coming. Would we have accept.
ed Him II we had lived at that time?
But today we have eight separate and
distinct great lines of prophecy. all
tremendously pointing out the way
marks and the momentous events just
ahead Of US. They have proven ALSO
lutely true, even to the day, in fore
telling the history of the past 25O0
years Is there any reason why they
should fail now? We have eight great
searchlights NIL focused on the path
way just ahead. Every one must de-
eide for himself whether or not he
will walk in the light. It Is an in
dividual matter and an important one.
Tonight the subject will be What
Has Eternity in Store for the Right
eous? For. the Wicked z" This lis a
question: that absolute caanot be
evaded by anyone, for every fnhabit-
ant of the earth will be in one class
or the other. The Bible tells plainly
the exact truth, and 1t will be allow
