There is one sure way that has never

that is to dissolve It, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
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
dandTuff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace Of il, no matter how
much dandruff you NAV have.

hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky

The 4first term. most commonly used

under pressure along conducting wires
to the lamp. stove. or other apparatus
The common pressure or voltage" Is
100 to $50. Low pressure is generally 1o(

used, this pressure or voltage of the
electric current can be lower than IL q
nigh pressure is used. Therefore. since
high pressure makes possible the use OF
smaller wires, it Is more economical tc
the consumer to At equipment for high
pressure or high voltage. ..

This term Is used in estimating the cost
Of current in connection with the am
