Trv This If You
Have Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff complete
~ and that is to dissolve it. This
destroys 1t entirely. To do this
Just get about four ounces of plain,
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 dandruf 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 hum
dred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t Is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.

CALLS HOUSEKEEPING
GREATEST VOCATION
Miss Julia Lathrop Says Instruction
in the Art Is Ne
elected.

That the teaching of the greatest Of
all vocations-that Of homemaking-
is now being neglected in the public
schools of the United States was as
serted by Miss Julia Lathrop. head of
the federal child welfare bureau, in
an address last evening before the
Eastern High School Home and School
Association at the building. 'It is the
greatest occupational interest in the
world" she declared. There are 49,
100000 women in 1T"
She said the great present need was
for a big ideal. AT present II is a dis
organized, unframed band and yet we
are told that in the hands of the
homemakers rest the destiny of the
world"
Urges Education.
She urged that the arts of the house,
hold be made more desirable and, she
said, I'VE have been very slow to feel
that there was anything cultural in
learning the arts of the household"
Miss Lathrop advocated that women
be taught the distribution and expen-
diture of an income" For" she said,
mot many of us feel that We spend
the money intrusted to US to the best
advantage. 1t is great branch of
skill that has never been developed in
our schools"
Glasses in household arts and eco
nomics should include all from little
girls to grandmothers, the speaker be-
lieved. No single step In education to-
day would do SO much, she said, as to
set up graduate classes in household
arts.
Mr.. Blair Would Include Men. :
Henry P. Blair, president Of the board
of education, spoke briefly following
Miss Lathrop's address, saying that nc
idea at present was SO clearly defined
in education as that to adapt the edu-
cational system of each community to
meet the needs of that community, ir-
respective of former courses. He said
he hoped that when such classes were
formed as suggested by Miss Lathror
that men would be included as well as
women SO that they could learn how
best to do their household duties.
The officers were reelected. They
are: President. G. P. Tucker; vice presi-
dents. H. A. Hesse, Miss NJ. c. Haven
and A. H. Smith: recording secretary
