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. act about
four ounces of ordinary liquid aryon, /,
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 appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it. no matter, how much dand-
run you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once. and your hair will be fuzzy. lus-
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
never fails TO do the work.

throwing the living room outdoors at

with the size of the room, and having
a brown tile hearth, adds to the gen
eral effect, besides providing another

further secured by large windows on
each side of the chimney.

tinuation. From the ingle nook there
is an uninterrupted vista of 81 feet
through the archway. At the rear of
the dining room one door opens on a
porch, 7.6 9 feet while another
gives access to a wel1-equipped PAN
try, and thence by a broad passage
way to kitchen, provided with ink
range and closet for stores The pan
try is furnished with a cupboard hav-
ing drawers beneath, and also with a
second china closet. By the arrange

that of the pantry, which opens on
the back porch, it is possible to
obtain. a free circulation of air at all

The living rooms, kitchen and bed
rooms are so arranged that while all
are easy to access, they form three
distinct units. A doorway from the

opens a bedroom, each 1878 II, and

Secrets of London
Complexion Doctors

Famous London specialists who cater
to titled ladies and others of social
prominence employ a remarkable meth
Cd of complexion rejuvenation. One
undergoing this treatment visits the
beauty doctor late in the afternoon, has
som ething dabbed over her face, then,
heavily yelled. departs in her motor
car. This is repeated daily for a week
or so, when. a complexion of snowy
purity and exquisite delicacy is in evil
dence The secret of this method is
ordinary mercolized wax. Anyone can
apply the wax without assistance of
specialist An ounce of it costs very
little at any drug store (obtainable
here as well as in England). 1t is used
like cold cream, before retiring. and
washed off mornings. Its success is
due to a peculiar absorbent property
which gradually removes wornout par
ticles Of cuticle. revealing the younger,
healthier skin beneath.
A wonderful wrinkle-chaser, also in
vogue among Englishwomen, is pre-
pared by .dissolVing OF. powdered sax
olite in II pit. witch hazel. Used as a
wash lotion, this completely and quick
ly effaces even the deepest lines.

PREsERviNe EGGS.
Water Glass Solution Is the Best for
Home Use.

Since egg production reaches it's
highest point in the spring when the
price is consequently low and since
the reverse is true during the win
ter months it becomes necessary that
some method be found for equalizing
the market at different seasons of
the year. Eggs form a very important
part of our food supply and it is,
therefore, important that they should
be AVAILABLE to the public at a reas-
enable price at all times.
Although cold storage is undoubt-
eddy the best and practically the only
method used commercially in the pre-
servation of eggs says L. E. Card Of
Connecticut Agriculture College at
Storrs it is far too expensive to be
practised in a small way. Fortunately,
there are other methods which may be
successfully used on a small scale.
Many different methods of preserva.-
ton have been tried some of which
are; packing eggs in dry table salt
bran, oats or sawdust; preserving in
dry wood ashes, powdered sulphur
powdered gypsum, salt brine, slaked
lime and salt brine, salicylic acid, po-
tassium permanganate. lime water,
solutions of water glass, gum arabic
and formalin, or gum arabic Snd
salicylic acid, dipping in sulfuric
acid and sealing up in glass cans,
covering with vaseline, pariffine. but
ter or lard OF all these methods, the
WdlSI- S1dSS SOluCOn nave given the
best results, and of these two the
latter is the better Eggs that have
been preserved in the lime water and
salt brine have peculiar chalky
taste.
The commercial water-g1as SOL
ution sodium silicate may be OBJ
tanned from any drug store at a
cost of about 20 cents per quart. Mix
L IL quarts of this solution with Is
quarts of pure water, water that has
been boiled is preferable Stir these
until they are thoroughly mixed. A
stone jar is the most suitable recep-
tacle and it should be scaIded thor
oughly two or three times to make
sure that it is perfectly clean. Two
i've gallons jars are sufficient for
thirty dozen eggs, using the amount
of solution prescribed above. Place
the eggs in the water glass, ee that
the top eggs are covered by at least
two inches of the liquid and cover
the jars to prevent evaporation. Place
them in a cellar or room where they
will be undisturbed during the year.
