A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandrufi at once, and
that is to dissolve IT, then you destroy It
entirely, To do this, Just get abou, four
ounces OF plain, common liquid arvon
from any drug store (,his is all you will
need, apply it at night when retiring
use enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most, il 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 dandruii YOU may have.
You will find 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 hundred
times better ADV.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In it,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a
noted physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver
If you catch cold easily. it's your
liver. If you wake up with bad
taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or
stomach becomes rancid, it's your
liver. Sallow skin. muddy complexion
watery eyes all denote liver uncleanli
ness. Your liver is the most impor
tant, also the most abused and ne
elected organ of the body. Few know
its function or how to release the
dammed-up body waste. bile and tox
ms. Most folks report to violen!
calomel, which is dangerous, saliva
ting chemical which can only be used
occasionally because it accumulates in
the tissues, also attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick ~
well, should drink each morning be
fore breakfast, glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate in il, to wash from the live,
and bowels the previous days indiges
tible material. the poisons, sour hilf
and toxins: thus cleansing, sweeien
ing and freshening the entire a!imel
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach
Limestone phosphate does not re
strict the diet like calomel because il
can not salivate for it is harmless
and you can eat anything afterwards
1t is inexpensive and almost tasteless
and any pharmacist will sell you q
quarter pound, which is sufficient for
a demonstration OF how hot water and
limestone phosphate cleans, stimu-
lates and freshens the liver, keeping
you feeling fit day in and day out.

PRICE OF STEEL RAILS
CONTINUES TO SOAR

It was officially announced today
that the advance in the price Of stand
ard steel rails would go into effect
May ! and amounts to So a ton. This
will make standard Bessemer steel
rails S33 gross ton and open-hearth
rails $50 t. o. b. makers mill
The rise is an important event. as
there has been no increase since Feb
ruary. 1901, when Bessemer rails were
advanced fro $50 to S2S. Open
hearth rails were not made then to
any extent, and when they began TO
be an important commodity scarcely
ten years ago they were placed at
$50. or a So Increase above Bessemer.
The rail advance is not important on
account Of the amount, as it is only
30 per cent. while finished steel prod
ucts generally are now almost so
per cent above their average price
during the past Is years.
In anticipation of the advance, to-

kGRICULTU RAL NOTES

Secretary. w. Stewart.
Treasurer Edgar Henshaw.
County Agent-W. M. Bewick.
State Leader N. T. Frame and G.
l.. Oliver, agent in dairying, both of
Morgantown, are spending a few
days in the eastern panhandle. The
special purpose of their coming at
this time is to aid the county agent
and the dairymen of this section to or
ganize a cow-testing association.
Farmers are extremely busy right
now and perhaps are thinking less
about the Improvement of their dairy
herds than at most any other time of
the year However, the wise dairy
man will take up with movement of
this kind whenever the opportunity
presents itself The preliminary work
must be done now in order to get the
association started by fall. If you
are visited by one or more of the
above named gentlemen you will save
time for yourself and them to sign
UP at once for the number of COWS
you expect to keep during the coming
year. You will never need regret it..
Some reasons for the association were
given. in last weeks column.
If plans work out as we believe
they viii, this column should become
much more interesting, due to special
correspondence fro mall over the
county. Each farmers club has been
asked to appoint member of the
farm bureau publicity committee The
work of this member will be to send
in news notes of special interest in
his vicinity. A number of the clubs
have already made their appoint
ments.
