There Is one sure way that
never fails to remove dandruff
completely and that is to dissolve
1t. This destroys It entirely. To
do this, Just get about four ounces
of plain. ordinary liquid aryon;
apply 1t at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub 1t In gently with the fin
ger tips.
BY morning, most II not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly. and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous. glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hum
dred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. II is inexpensive,
and four ounces is all you will
need. This simple remedy has
never been known to fail.

Catch Gang at

Bogus Dollars

SEATTLE, April Tin raid
on q beach cabin near Spokane
avenue late yesterday afternoon,
policemen caught three men in
the act of manufacturing bogus
dollars and half dollars and seized
one of the most complete count
erfeiting outfits discovered in the
Northwest.
Federal police say that the
three captives. who gave their
names as Tom Dixon, 35 years
old, a lineman; s. Gordon. 81, a
laborer, and Ray Nicholson, 26, a
cook, have put hundreds Of dol
lars of bogus money In circula-
ton in this city during the last
year. The police were as sur
prised as the counterfeiters.
With yesterdays arrests the
police believe one of the worst
gang of yeggmen, robbers, count
erfeiters and thieves that ever
operated in this district has been
broken up.
Three other members of the
same gang, who gave the names
of William Mcfarland. H. Molnar
and M. s. McGregor, were aar-
rested in a cabin in ,he same VI
entity last Sunday. when loot
valued at more than 5000 was re-
covered. Max Winter and Harry

MENEFEE CAN PROVE
THAT CITY Is CLEAN

Tacoma is cleaning up as never
before. Not only have the back
yards been cleaned Of rubbish,
and the front yards moved and
cleaned, but there has been more
painting and vanishing this
spring than for many years.
This is not surmise. 1t Is a
fact that the cold figures OF bust
ness. as represented in the paint
and .varnish industry, bear out.
James s. Menefee, manager for
w. p. Fuller & Co., paint, var
nish and sash and door concern,
has the figures and the data to
prove 1t.

BY HERBERT QUICK.

Advertisements signed "The
Railroads of Iowa" are appearing
In many Iowa newspapers. They
are ably-prepared papers arguing
against government ownership
and in favor of higher rates.
again we repeat" so runs
one of these advertisements,
"since the people absolutely con-
troll and regulate the railroads, is
that not enough? VIII 1t not be
better to let well enough alone
to cling to that which is good and
eliminate that which is bad in
the present system, which, with
all that has been said against it..
furnishes the best and cheapest
transportation in the world?"
Change In Method.
A perfectly fair question-and
the thing l like about it is that
these articles are honestly pub
lished for exactly what they are.
A few years ago they would
have been written by the rail-
ways specialist, delivered by a
United States senator as a speech,
and franked all over the United
States at public expense, the rail-
ways being paid for carrying
them.
Whether or not the railways
of the United States give us the
best and cheapest transportation
In the world is a question on
which the best informed by no
means agree. But even II 1t be
admitted that they do, the case
for government ownership does
not fall.
Not Greatest Argument.
We might be willing to pay
higher rates and accept poorer
service for the sake of having the
roads owned by the government
though why we should be
obliged to do SO has never yet
been even suggested.
The railways of Iowa over
look the greatest argument
for government ownership.
This lies in the feeling that
unless the government owns
the railways the railways
Will most of the time own
the government.
