SIMPLE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching Scalp

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid arvon
from any drug store tthis is all you will
need 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 completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy. every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find 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 value your hair, you should get
rid of dandruff at once, for nothing de-
stroys the hair so quickly. 1t not only
starves the hair and makes 1t fall out
but it makes 1t stringy, straggly. dull.

Beauty Topics.)

(Beauty Topics.)
Here is a way to remove obnoxious
hairy growths while you are prepar-
ing your toilette for the evening: Mix
into stiff paste enough powdered
delatone and water to cover the hairs
not wanted. Apply, and in about 2
minutes rub off and every trace of
hair comes with it. Washing the skin
to remove the surplus delatone leaves
it soft, clear and free from blemish.
To insure success, be certain that you
get real delatone.-Adv.

TARIFF MEASURE WILL HELP MANUFACTURERS,
 SAYS CONG. KENNEDY
(New Haven Union. )

Congressman Kennedy, when asked for a statement on the talk now aris- ing in some quartefs that the new tariff schedule has caused a number of shops in this part of the state to shut down temporarily, said:
 There is no truth in that talk at all,' he answered with emphasis. ''1 don't know of a. factory in the state that is shut down because of the tariff changes. There was nearly the same situation three years ago during the Taft administration. Some of the shops may have shut down or are working on shorter hours, temporarily, but it is not because of the tariff. However, that may be the reason ad- vanced by some Republican politi- cians.''
 MT. Kennedy. questioned about the new currency systc.n, stated that in his opinion all the national banks of the state would come into the plan. He had no doubt but what it would work out successfully as the banking

Willing To Go To Lakeview
 Home If Paid By City

Superintendent Fred R. Johnson of the Department of Charities, has en- counfered numerous queer ones and had many odd experiences in his work but about the queerest came yester- day when a young Italian wanted to know how much he would receive if he went to IakevieW. He was quick ly informed that there would be noth- ing due him although it was not to be wondered at that he thought residence there ought to be worth something. The applicant, refusing to give his name, called to explain that he was very sick and wanted trans p0rtation to Italy. Surgeons de- termined that he was only homesick and that Lakeview would do as well and be much cheaper than a trip ta Italy.
