TRY THIS IF YOU
HAVE DANORUFf
Or Are Bothered with Failing Hair
or Itching Scalp.

There is one sure way that never
falls to remove dandruff COM
pletely and that is to dissolve 1t.
This destroys It entirely. To do
this, just get about four ounces of
plain. ordinary liquid arvon: apply
1t at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and
rub II In gently with the finger
tips.
BY morning most, IL not all. of
your dandruff Will be gone, and
three or four more applications
Will completely dissolve and entire
ly destroy every single sign and
trace of Ii, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
be fluffy lustrous. glossy, silky and
soft and look and feel hundred
times better.
If you want to keep your hair
looking rich, do by all means get
rid of dandruff. for nothing de-
stroys the hair so quickly. 1t not
only starves the hair and makes 1t
fall out, but 1t makes IL stringy,
straggly. dull, dry, brittle and life
less, and everybody notices 1t. You
can get liquid aryon at any drug
store. 1t Is Inexpensive, and four
ounces IL all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been
known to fall.

AIR RIDERS
REFUSE Fare

SAN FRANCISCO, April A. -
Silas Christofferson and his wife
applied for a warrant today for
Jim Griffin, referee and sporting
man. Christofferson charged that
Griffin failed to pay $40 for a
ride over Seal Rocks, made last
Sunday In Christofferson's plane.
The airman did not get the war
rant, because the only available
charge was defrauding motor
vehicle driver.
Miss de Grarer, assistant bond
and warrant clerk, cited Griffin
to appear Tuesday. He must then
show cause why warrant should
not be issued.
Meanwhile the law will be
delved into.
