THE EASIEST WAY
TO END DANDRUFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching
Scalp.

There Is one sure way that never
fails to remove daudruff completely,
and that is to dissolve It. This 1s-
stroys 1t 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 complete
ly 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 in
stantly. 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 look
ing rich do by all means get rid of
dandruff, for nothing destroys thu
hair so quickly. 1t not only starvcs
the hair and makes It fall out, but 1t
makes It stringy, straggly, dull, dry,
brittle and lifeless, and everybody no
tees 1t. You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store 1t is inexpensive
and four ounces S all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.-A- VERTISEMENT

CONVICT BOSSES
FINED $500 FOR
CRUELTY
Thomson and Tyree Get Chain
gang Term AIternative-Wit-
nesses Tell of Beatings.

Clyde Thomson and Edward Tyree,
former county convict bosses" who
were convicted in Judge Ben Hills
court Friday afternoon on charges OF
cruelty to prisoners, are preparing
Saturday TO pay the fines of 5000 that
Judge Hill imposed upon each OF
them. 1t is generally believed that
both men will be able to pay their
fines. since Judge Hill gave them an
alternative of spending twelve months
in the chaingang.
Thomson was indicted by the
Grand Jury for cruelty beating James
Erannen an aged white convict, at
the Adamsville camp, OF which he was
boss" Tyree, former heaG or the
Weisuca camp was tried for beating
Il negro convict who was i'll and had
not recovered from a previous beat
ing. He pleaded guilty. while Thorn
ason undertook to present a defense.
Brannen and John Harris, the lat
ter convict who was shot by Thorn
ason, were placed on the stand dur
ing the trial The indictment charg-
ing Thomson with murderous as
sault because of the shooting of Har-
ris was nolle pressed by Solicitor
Hugh Dorsey, and the convict boss
was tried on only one charge.
A sensational story of the cruelties
practiced upon the ConVicts was told
by the negro convict whom Tyree
was charged with beating. The man
declared that he had been taken to
one of the buildings OF the camp and
whipped upon his bare back shortly
after a previous whipping.
The negro said he placed his hands
over his back for protection, and Ty-
rec hit him on the head with the
copper riveted butt of the leather
whipping strap He said Tyree then
called several other convicts to hold
the negro, and gave him rs lashes on
his bare back.
