There is a Topeka chap attending
the State university at Lawrence who
is not there to make great splurge
socially, but who is a sort of worth
while young man with a backbone Of
adamant. He is helping his father to
pay his expenses at school. and he is
doing it by waiting on tables in a stu
dents boarding house. His predeces-
sor in the Turnkey business, when the
students he knew came to eat, stood
behind the curtains and handed the
dishes out to the land1ady, but our To-
peka friend goes all the way, serves the
hash and clears up the table. After
his work is done, if there is any time
left, he joins the other students at the
piano in the songs they sing, and he
has just as good time as any of
them.
A few days ago he got word that his
best girl friend and a chum of hers,
who belong to well-to-do families and
have a good social position, were go
ing to show up at the university to pay
him visit-intended to be there a
whole day. One of the boys learned
of the pending visit, and kindly Of
fered his help. I'll take your place
the day your friends come" he said,
land take care of the tables. Nobody
you are a waiter" The Topeka boy
wavered a minute Then he squared
his shoulders-just like that-and an
swered his friend: It's good of you
to offer, but I am not ashamed of my
job. I will take care of my work that
day, and what is more, I mean to
bring the girls here to eat. I shall
serve them myself" And he did. Not
a bad sample of nerve for a school
boy.

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid earvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plicationS will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy, every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, 1us-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get LIQUID arvon at any
drug store II is inexpensive and nex-
