DESTINY HINGES ON
 CHOICES WE MAKE. Rev. G. H. Strouse Speaks at Inter- national Silver Company.


 At the International Silver company Tuesday noon, under the auspices of the Y. NJ c. A.. Rev. G. H. Strouse gave a very interesting talk on The Power of Choice.
 He pointed out that Christ is hailed today as the worlds Saviour because He made this solemn and far reaching choice. He chose to come to this world and die for us.
 Christ's choice was to be a Saviour. The name given Jesus at His birth means that Thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins
 A Japanese student was once asked what first impressed him in reading the Bible. He answered.: Jesus going up to Jerusalem, when he knew it meant death"
 Must Choose.
 There is the necessity of making choice. You can't say, I won't choose. Y You must choose. The lives you are now living the things you are doing, the places to which you are going, all reveal tie choices you have made. You may choose the good, you may choose the evil. You have this power. And this talk is all nonsense when people say it doesn't matter what we choose, we shall ali come out right in the end. Choice decides destiny. Our eternal destiny hinges on the choices we make. That is, God has so arranged it that the only thing Between life and death is the choice we make
 One of the most beautiful things about Christianity is this: If choice was bad yesterday, here is today, make a choice for the right. But the em- peror's legions were dead. No amount of wishing could restore them. Our opportunities and years are passing away. Will it be our sad lot to cry out some day. Give me back my years so that I can make choices for the right.

DANDRUFFY HEADS
 BECOME HAIRLESS
Scalp Dries-Chokes out the
 Hair and Prevents Its Growth

If you want plenty of thick, beauti- ful. glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff. for it will starye your hair and rum it if you don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandrun is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entirely
 To do this, get about four ounces of 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 if not all, of your dandruft will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy, every single sign and trace of it
 You will find, too. that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will be silky, fluffy, Ius- trous, soft and look and feel hum dred times better You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is mex pensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dan drun you have. This simple remedy never fails.

 The production made a notable rec ord for the Davis in quality of attrac- tions produced there this season.

PROFIT SHARING

This is the age of profit sharing. Business men are find ing that to give their employees a share of the profits is stim- ulating to the employees and helpful to the business.
 Cooperative advertising be- tween merchant and manufac- turer in the local newspapers is, in a way, a phase of this profit sharing movement.
 The manufacturer brings to the merchant certain share of his profits-by advertising in the newspapers of the mer- chants city.
 These profits in turn create more business, and when the merchant is shrewd enough to do his share in pushing the gooos. the increased sales are well while, both, for the merchant and for the manufac- turer.
 If any manufacturer who is interested in newspaper adyer- Using will address the Bureau of Advertising, American News paper Publishers Association, World Building, New York. it will be glad to answer ques- tions.
