Dandruff Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you

II doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff 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
fhe scalp and rub it in gently with
rha finger tips.
= nv morning most if not all, of your
4aDdr1ff will be gone. and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it

and digging of the scalp will stop.

iin11id arvon at any drug store Tt is
fnexpensive and four ounces is all
-, will need, no matter how much
Seniruff you have. This simple rem

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. "a move
ment has been started on the Kansas
side to tear down the Kansas bulldlns
at the Panama-Paciffc exposition.
transport it to Kansas City ana re-
build it for an art museum.
w. B. Strang, president of the
Strang Electric line, told Henry f.
Dean, who had charge of the Kansas
exhibit at the fair, today that If the
building were located at Overland
park he would agree to furnish all the
ground the building needed, to stand
the expense of beautifying the
grounds after the building was UP ana
would then dedicate the property to
the state. Mr.. Strang said he would
also start the art museum by putting
his $50, 900 collection in the building.
Ideal for a Museum.
The Kansas building at the fair
cost the state $4,000. 1t is the opin-
ion of Frank Hodges, member of the
exposition commission, Mr.. Dean and
several others that no building could
be erected that would serve better as a
museum
Word was received today from Mr..
Hodges. in charge of the disposal of
the building and its furniture, that the
highest bid he had received from
house wreckers for the structure was
$3.50.
Several Plans Started.
When the fair closed it was believed
the Kansas. building would be saved
for the state. 1t was found it would
cost the state SIS, 200 to rebuild it in
Kansas Several members of the ex-
position commission believed the
building should be presented to the
educational board of administration
and placed at the University of Kan
sas for exhibit purposes
Doctor Dean talked to Governor
Capper on the telephone after Mr..
Strang had made his offer. The gov
ernor promised to investigate and
agreed to advise Mr.. Dean in a day
or two.

 Alfred B. Nobel. the Swedish sci. enlist and inventor of dynamite, died in 1896, leaving his fortune. which was estimated at $9,OOO00O, to the founding of a fund of which the interest should be yearly given as prizes to those per sons who had during the year con tributed most to the good of humani- ty." The interest is divided in five equal shares, awarded as follows:
 "One to the, person who in the do- main of physics has made the most 1m- portant discovery or invention. one to the person who has made the most important chemical discovery or inven' ton, one to the person who has made the most important discovery in the do main Of medicine or physiology, one to the person who ill literature has pro- yided the most excellent work of an idealistic tendency and one to the per son who has worked most or best for the fraternization of nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the calling and propagat ing of peace congresses"
 The value of each prize is, on all average. $4OOOO. The awards fol physics and chemistry are given by the Swedish Academy of Science. that for physiological or medical work by the Caroline institute (the faculty of medicine in Stockholm). that for litera rure by the Swedish Academy of Stock holm and the peace prize by a commit tee of five persons elected by the Nor wegian storthing. ng.-Philadelphia Press

DEGREES OF COOKING.

what Is Meant by Rare, Medium and
 We'll Done Meat.
 Perhaps word may be said about the degree of cooking, as indicated by the words rare, medium and well done, used in reference to the cooking or meat.
 Some people interpret rare" as mean ing meat scared a little on the outside. but with the whole interior raw. This is far from a correct interpretation. The albumen should be cQagulated. the nbers really cooked. but the juice may be yet red or pink. In medium" there is still some pink left in the meat though the red color has left the juice. while well done means no pink color in either juice or fiber. but not the stringy, overcooked. tasteless product % often served as well done" meat.
 The quantity and kind of meat used by any family depend upon it's living habits, it's appreciation of food values and the money available for food. The excessive use of meat means an un- wise expenditure of money as well as an unnecessary tax upon the kidneys and liver. but in any case the prepara- tion of it is a most important factor.- WOmans World.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Winston S. Churchill, former first lord of the British admiralty and recently chan cellor of the excheQuer, has resigned from his easy post and has enlisted in the Oxford Yeomanry for service at the front.
 The enlistment of the statesman, it is expected, will prove an inspiring example to the young Britisher* who are holding back and are attempting to get out of the country before the conscription order goes into esfe't,
 It is reported that conscription will go into effect on December 1 and that all men of military age will De draft ed unless they voluntarily offer their services. The enlistment of the for mer chancellor of the exchequer is a challenge to his opponel ts in the cabinet who fought conscr'ntion ro follow his example.
 The British consuls in foreign countries have published notices re- luesting British subjects to register in view of the present state of :he war and the desirability of having as complete a record as possible of all British residents. They are particu- larly requested to state what they arc prepared and qualified to do in case of their services being required.

One English Troop Used to 6s Called

 Dandies were much in evidence in the Perinsular war. and an officer of the famous Light division has recorded how some of the officers were "rigged out in all the colors oe the rainbow Some had gray braided coats. others brown; some again liked blue. and the comical appearance of number of in. fantry officers loaded with leather bot toms to their pantaloons and huge chains suspended from the side but tons was amusing enough i" The cut down hat. exactly a span in height. was another rage.

 The Duke of Wellington, however. never troubled about what his officers were if only they brought their men in. tact into the firing line with sixty rounds of ammunition apiece, and one of the chaplains. known as 'the Fight ing Parson." always wore red hussar jacket, while during the battle of Wit. toria General Picton wore. instead 0f the usual cooked hat, a round and very old hat and carried "a huge white um' brella lined with green"

CATARACT OF THE EYE.
k May Como at Any Time of Life. and
 lts Goal Is Rlindnsss.

lts Goal 10 Blindness.
 Cataract is an opacity of the crystal line lens caused by interference with its nutrition. AS the rays of light can not penetrate this opaque matter 1t re- suits in blindness. A cataract may come at any time of life. but is most apt to come in old age. when senile changes take place in all parts of the body.
 A cataract may be caused by changes in the eye before birth. Children are born with cataract It may be caused by changes during childhood. by disease or injury, by excessive and persistent light and heat and by many ether causes. Glassblowers are sub. ject to it, X ray workers. sufferers from diabetes and many others. It may be a primary disease or 1t may bs secondary to other diseases.
 It is often very successfully treated by operation. particularly in the aged, the lens or lens and its capsule being removed. The development of cataract is sometimes very rapid, especially aft. ~ injury. but in the aged 1t takes place slowly. sometimes requiring years before blindness results. The operation is not usually done until the cataract Is mature or ripe. An earlier operation frequently initiates against . successful result. t.-Philadelphia Rec ord.
