The Easiest Way
To End DandruH

There Is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
ia to dissolve It. This destroys it en-
tirely. 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. II not all. Of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace OF it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too. that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instant
ly. and your hair will he funy, lus-
trous, glossy. silky and soft and look
and feel a hundred 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.-Advt

Kennedy pointed out that three times
by habeas corpus Thaw failed to es-

wan superintendents had refused to
certify that he had become sane and
was still dangerous to public peace
and safety"
Kennedy's assertion that Thaw at
tempted to escape by bribery was vigor-
ously objected to by Attorney Stanch-

Justice Page ruled that the prosecu

proper. and instructed the jury to dis
regard It.

CHEER UP AND
WORK -REDFIELD.
Do Your Level Best and Quit
Talking Misery, Is the
Message to Business,

Washington, D. c., Jan. Cheer up
and get to work-there's nothing the
matter with the United States" is the
message which secretary of commerce
Redfield gave out today to the mer-
chants and all business interests Of the
American nation. He pointed out, Incl
dentally, that when the war broke out
American merchants We're S4O,0OO,O00 In
debt to foreign manufacturers and pro-
ducers. Since then a trade balance Of
S174,OOO,O00 in favor of the United
States has been piled up.
No Warrant for Gloom.
There is no warrant, Mr.. Redfield de-
clares, for gloom or despair. The i'll
effects of the European war on Ameri-
can enterprise are passing and new
vistas for commercial ventures are
opening with each new day. His mes
sage follows:
IF you want prosperity do your
share to bring it and do it now. Get
that addition on your shop going; it
months hence. Is trade a bit dull in
the works? Get those improvements
begun. Prices are low and likely to
rise. You've been thinking Of that
contract work; better start it yourself
before things get the start of you.
Think Of Belgium
This country slows down bit now
and then, but it never stops growing
and it always moves up, and not down
We don't know what it means in most
of the United States to have real gen
eral distress. Think of Belgium and
Poland o man with a crouch, and
sink into your hole and pull it in after
you. There think of your sins and
your blessings and come out with your
courage in working order.
There are lots Of good American eX-
amples of pluck. DO you remember
San Francisco and Galveston and Chi
cago-Boston, Charleston, Baltimore
and Dayton and many others like
them? Remember Thomas A. Edison
and lots of other fellow citizens who
showed pluck when things were hard.
"DO Your Level Best
Nothing is the matter with the man
with a crouch except an absentee heart
and missing nerve. Cheer up, go to
work, do your level best, quit talking
misery. The war is over yOnder, not
here. Men are slaughtered over yon-
der, they're living here; it's all clouds
there, clear here.
Get out and sell some goods; plant
some more acres; 80 more work than
you planned Talk cheerful talk and
you'll find this country of ours a pref
~ good place after all"
