be suspended before the congested

of the fact that for inter-island travel
the former date is better one for

to be made when the complete mem

Become Hairless

If you want plenty Of thick, beautiful,
glossy. silky hair, dc. by all means get
rid OF dandruff, for it will starve your
hair and ruin it if you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of daniruff is to dissolve
It, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this. get about four ounces OF ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
tiring; use enough to moisten the 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 dis
solve and entirely destroy every ssingle
sign and trace of it.
You will find, too. that all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel a hundred tines
better. You eat, get liquid arvon at any
drug store. Il IS Inexpensive and four
ounces Is al you viii need no matter
how much dandruff you shaye. This
