The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff
Stop Falling Hair and Itching Scalp.

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordin-
arv 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. 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 II, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantlv. 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 rio
OF dandruff. for nothing destroys the
hair so quickly 1t not only starves
the hair and makes it fall out, but 1t
makes it stringy, straggly, dull. dry.
brittle and lifeless, and everybody no
tees it. You can get liquid arvon at
anv drug store. 1t is inexpensive,
and four ounces is all you VIII need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.

VIENNA, March 20.-According to information from an authoritative St. Petersburg source, the Russian gov ernment has given to an American syndicate of capitalists contract to carry out big works on the Volga and its tributaries. Dredging will be done on an extensive scale, in order to deepe nthe Volga and make it more navigable.

Gdniez Palacio, Mexico, March %.
-Four days of fighting, including
three desperate assaults by the rebels,
were crowned with successes yesterday,
when Gen. Francisco Villa moved into
the city and establishes his headquar-
ters on that side of the town looking
toward Torreon, and within three
miles Of that great goal Of the cam
paign.
The final and deciding assault was
delivered Thursday. 1t was preceded
by bombardment, aftera which the
infantry and cavalry dashed into the
streets. Rifles, nachetes, pistols AMI
hand grcnaGes were used in 100 diff
ferent encounters in the narrow thor
oughfares. The grenades Of home
manufacture, were lighted with the
cigarettes which are an unofficial part
of the equipment of every Mexican
soldier.
General Villa does not yet know his
own loss, except that it was heavy.
The wounded suffered terribly from
thirst, and may !Sie for the lack of
water and surgical attention.
The dead of both si3es were ming
