Try This If You
HaYe Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is 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 I'll: 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 it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. Il is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.

mo MANS LAND
| FOUND IN BELGIUM
BY the Delegates of the Amer.
lean Commission for the
Relief of Belgium.

| Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
LONDON, Jan. lin an effort to
penetrate to every portion Of Bel
GUM in their relief work the dele
gates of the American Commission
for the Relief of Belgium have discov-
cred in the remotest corner of that
country a no mans land which since
1916 has enjoyed absolute indepen-
dence under a guarantee Of perpetual
neutrality, which even in the present
struggle has never been violated.
This little country of one square mile
in size is called Moresnet Neutre and
has Holland to the north, Belgium to
the west and Germany everywhere
else. But Moresnet Neutre is neither
Belgium, German or Dutch. 1t used
to be a part of Belgium and was until
1916 like the rest Of that country a
province OF France. BY the treaty
of Vienna, Belgium and Holland be-
came independent countries, but Nor
esnet, which at that time held the
greatest zinc mine of Europe became
bone Of contention between Prussia
and the Netherlands. Finally neither
got 1t and the difficulty was solved
by making 1t neutral territory.
The mine Of zinc has long since
been exhausted in Moresnet, but, dig
ging into deeper strata the vein was
continued into Belgium and German
territory. Consequently the country
has lost its chief reason for retaining
its independence, but by keeping the
mine smelter in its territory it has
continued to receive the same con-
sideration from its powerful neighbors
as in the past,
Owned by n Company.
The whole country is owned by the
vieille Montague Company, which,
with the exhaustion of the zinc de-
posts, sought other fields until 1t has
become so internationalized that 1t is
as neutral in its impartial activities
as the country where 1t got its start.
The president OF the company Is Bar
on Rothschild of Frankfort, who sells
products from the company's mines in
Germany to that country. They also
have mines in France. and their gen.
eral manager, a loyal Frenchpan. is
selling zinc to the French government
