The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff =.

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This des-
troys it entirely. 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 the
finger 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 it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
/ lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail

'UNBEuEF IS SIM

'Unbelief is sin" said Rev. f. G.
Kenny in a sermon on The Sin of
Unbelief" at the. First Baptist church
last night. 1t is customary among
US" he said. to select out certain OF
the more revolving kind of acts of
men and call them sin, while We pass
other things as only trifles. But
sin is not in the things that we do.
but in the condition of the heart. Sin
Is really an attitude of distrust toward
God, and the root sin of all is the re-
fusal to accept the hand of God as
1t is held out to us through Jesus
Christ to rescue us from sin.
