Simple Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need), apply it at night when
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel hundred times better.-Adver-

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock In
big business concerns and the farm
ers OF this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life OF any
business organization, should be able
to say y know that my Redeemer
liveth." 5dt farming Is the biggest
business on earth, and there il more
water In its financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water In a farmers note

money for four or five per ZEN per
annum, as there IL In a business nav.
Ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment OF only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only DIFF.
ference is. the water is In the interest
rate In one instance and In the secur-
tiles In tho other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property In
volved but the usurer, as q rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
Industries that CRY louder but none
that suffer moro severely from imam
