SURE way TO GET
RID OF DANDRUFF
End Itching Scalp and Stop
Fal ing Hair-At Once.

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely and
that is to dissolve It. This destroys il
entirely! To do this. just get about four
ounces Of plain. ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
In gently with the finger tips.
BY morning most, II not all. of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy, every sin
gle 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 instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel hundred times better
II you want to keep your hair looking
rich. do by all means get rid of dand.
rum. for nothing destroys the hair so
quickly. 1t not only starves the hair
and makes il fall out. but ii makes it
strtngy, straggly. dull. dry, brittle and
lifeless. and everybody notices it. You
car get liquid arvon at any drug store.
II is inexpensive. and four ounces is
al you will need. This simple remedy
has never been known to fail.-Adyt

An emphatic denial Of published re-
ports that he has agreed to sell Month
cello to the Government and has in
formed the Senate Committee on Public
Buildings Of his willingness to relin-
quish the home of Jefferson for stated
price. was made today by Consr >ssman
Jefferson NJ. Levy OF New York.
There isn't a word of truth in the
report said Mr.. Levy. Monticello Is
not for sale to the Government or any
body else. and I haven't changed my
mind In the least. I nave not informed
the Senate committee l was willing to
sell. The only thing have said is that
II Congress should pass a bill seeking
to acquire Monticello, would be
obliged to give the matter serious con-
sideration, for the bill would be con-
strued as representing the people. But
do not expect the passage Of any such
bill and assuredly Monticello Is not for
sale.
Make that plain. will you? have
had numerous offers for Monticello and
don't want to sell it. Published
stories that Mrs. Littleton has won her
fight and that i have 'capitulated' have
no truth in them.''

inability Of the teachers to follow up
the recommendations Of the medical
inspectors, said Miss Hendley.
With the school nurse a part OF
the system, medical inspection
brings more practical results
Other teachers voiced Miss Hend-
ley's complaint, asserting that many
pupils are neglected who might
otherwise be attended to at early
stages of diseases. They -exGlained
that not only the danger C. con-
tagion, but the handicap to the af-
flicted pupils is great because eupils
cannot apply their minds to studies
while suffering physical ailments.
Entire classes are retarded in this
manner.
Under the present system teachers
may summon pupils parents to DIS
cuss their cases with them. But in
the poorer quarters of the city pa
rents frequently are toe careless or
too ignorant to take advantage OF
dispensaries and other means Of
free treatment provided for the poor.
Physicians; and the present corps
OF medical inspectors, concur with
the statements of teachers in this
respect. Visiting nurses, as already
has been pointed out, would obvtate
the widespread complaints that pu-
pills return to school before the
dangers Of contagion have passed.
