Simple Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve 1t, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store Uhis is all
you will need). apply it at night when
retiring: use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the fin
& 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 1t, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
Of the scalp will stop insanity and your
hair will be fluffy. lustrous. glossy
silky and soft, and look and feel
hundred times better.

do not plant your tuberr1es out Of

LIQUID manure is made by saving
a barrel in two or using tub with a
spigot near the bottom. Punch holes

Harden plants grown under cover
by exposing them TO the sun and air

the exposure until they are hardy.
However, they must not be left in the

MEAT CLUBS ARE A SUCCESS
Farmers In the kimbro Community In
Travis County Have Practical
Plan for Getting Meat.

Farmers may have fresh meat dur
Ing a greater part OF the year, even
In the hot summer months, through a
little community cooperation. In the
ktmbro community in Travis county
the farmers have demonstrated that
this can be done. Within a few miles
OF kimbro there are three meat
| clubs" Two of these are beef clubs
and one OF them is sheep club. In
the beef club they slaughter calf ev-
cry week to supply their members with
fresh meat. while In the sheep
club sheep is killed. About
twelve people make up one OF these
clubs, with the exception OF the sheep
club which includes merely three or
four families. They meet early in the
year to determine the order in which
the calf shall be furnished TO the club,
and this is usually decided by the
age OF the animals that the members
may happen to have. The person
who has the most mature calf will
start the procession.
One OF the members is chosen to
, be the butcher, and receives 81 for
each killing. In some years II has been
the custom to give him the hide for his
trouble, but now the hide is kept By
the farmer who furnishes the animal
and the butcher is paid In cash. On
the Friday OF the week when Mr.. AS
turn has come. the butcher will 20 to
his farm. slaughter the animal, divide
1t into l2 parts df there are IL mem
bers in the club. weigh each part and
put tag on 1t with the name OF the
person whose turn it is to receive this
particular part. All cuts are not OF
equal value. SO 1t is arranged that IL
Mr.. A received the neck part this
week. the next week II goes to Mr.. B.
and so on so that when the year is up
all have received the same kind OF
meat in their turn. The butcher keeps
the record. II family is small it may
receive one-twenty-fourth instead Of
one-twelfth OF the animal. OF course
not all animals. nor all parts. will be
OF the same weight, but the butchers
record will show who has received
more meat than he furnished. or vice
versa. To settle this, II Mr.. A has
furnished more meat than he received
during the year. he is paid five cents
a pound for the excess at the end OF
the year. or II he furnished less he
pays the difference at the same rate.
After the animal is killed and divided
the farmer who owned II delivers the
meat to the other members of the
club, However. should the roads be
bad the members will relieve him of
this labor by coming in person to get
their share.
They used to have the custom of
bringing the calves 10 be butchered to
certain place for the butchers con-
venience, but this has been aban-
doned because IL was lot Of trouble
for the owner OF the animal to drive
TO this place with the animal and then.
go from there TO deliver the meat TO
the other members. The butcher is
also more satisfied with the hides. be-
cause these accumulate on his hands
and give him extra work The clubs
have given great satisfaction.
However, kimbro is not the only
community that has meat clubs. There
are several In Stonewall and Coryell
counties. and Austin county has them
scattered throughout the whole eoun-
ty.
