Kansas Comment
THE EARN HOME.

AS long as the farm is looked upon
only as a place to dig and delve and
no effort is made to develop a satisfy
ing life, people will continue to look
with longing eyes to the opportunities
and pleasures of the city. From an
economic standpoint the farm must
be made profitable but until COM
plete well-rounded life is possible no
amount of financial success will pre-
vent young people from responding to
this lure OF the city. Farming is not
only a business but a way of life. In
ommunities where this fact is ap-
preciated homes will be made and dis
tinctly rural institutions organized
that will satisfy human needs. The
planning and creating of the farm
home and its surroundings play an i'm
portant part in this program. The
home that meets all requirements
must be much more than a place
where the workers of the farm eat
and sleep.-G. c. W., in the Kansas
Farmer.

SYSTEM IN EFFICIENCY

Professor GiddingS of Columbia
University has stated some wholesome
if unpalatable truths in his recent
comment upon European and Ameri-
can conditions. German efficiency,
he declares. is secured by the exercise
of autocratic power to an extent that
Americans are not likely to tolerate.
But French efficiency, which seems to
be showing up as quite a match for
German efficiency, is secured by CO.
operation under the supervision of
men of admittedly powerful intellect
In France, he points out. the voters
put their best intellects at the head of
the political system. In America the
politician is often a cheaper, less eff
ficient man than the average bust
ness or professional man.-Lawrence

DANDRUFF SOON
 RUINS THE HAIR
Makes It Lifeless, Dull, Dry.
 Brittle and Thin.

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruf, 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 1t out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruf 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 single sign and trace of 1t.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop. and your hair will be silky, fluffy, lusrous, soft, and look and feel a hundred times bet ter. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store lt is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruf you have. This simple remedy never fails.

Lime Starvation

The Medical Record tNew York; 0f December IS, 1909, contains an article on s'rhe Treatment of Pul- mnnary Tuberculosis, Based on the Assumption That the Dietetic Cause Of the Disease is Lime Starvation" by Dr. John F. Russell, who Hnyst '''The condition which is recognized ns preceding the active development of tuberculosis in the adult may be considered ns due Co lime starvation, Among inorganic substances lime snlts appear Co be uf special physiological importance

Chicago Varsity Ball Players Tell of
 Growth of Game.

Chicago, Dec. 31-The University of Chicago baseball team returned home yesterday after a trip through the Orient of more than ten thousand miles.
 The athletes reported that base ball is growing more popular than ever in Japan. They said the Japan csc have developed the habit of bait ing the umpires and that they refuse to support a losing team, much after the manner of American followers of the game. The inability of the na- tive teams to defeat the Americans caused a great decrease in the at tendance. it was said. The Waseda University team is expected to play in the United States next year.

NATIONAL PORTRAIT.
Celebrated Paintings in British Insti-
 ute Moved to Place of Greater Safety

London, Dec. 31.-Unknow to the vast majority of Londoners, the Ma tional Portrait Gallery shut it's doors several weeks ago to remain closed until after the war. The work of transporting the more important DOT traits of British monarchs and celeb rites to place of safety began some months ago, so the collection had lost much of its interest to sightseers
 The National Portrait Gallery lies just behind the National Gallery, which faces Trafalgar Square, the mi nor works of the great masters and the best work of the lesser painters remain, and the art critic who is em- ployed by the government to lecture to visitors on the various schools of painting conducts his daily class.
 Owing to their more isolated posi- tions, the Tate and Wallace collections have not suffered materially through fear of Zeppelin raids.
