Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of dan
druff Is 10 dissolve II, then you de-
stroy il entirely. TO do this. get about
four ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon,
apply II at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
II in gently with the finger tips
Do this tonight, and by morning
most If not all of your dandruff viii
be gone, and three or four more APP
plicatiOns Will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace Of 1t. no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop al
once, and your hair viii be fluffy lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails TO do the work.

The allies began landing troops at
Saloniki in the last days of September.
They had ships. men, and command OF
the sea. There was no armed enemy
at Saloniki to make their arrival un-
pleasant All they had to do was to put
a sufficient force ashore TO counterbal-
ance the combined Austro-German-
Bulgarian forces. The Germans and
Bulgarians together were supposed to
have about 100000 men. The Serbs had
about 100000 men. An easy operation

and English should land at least 200,-
coo men. The relief maps showed the

route at once direct, easy and pic

vasion Of an unfriendly country tas,

task looked almost trivial.
