Dandruff Soon
Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty OF thick.
beautiful, glossy silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for II will
starve your hair and ruin it IL you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy It entirely.
To do this. get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
nigh. 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 complete
~ dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop.
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It is
inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need. no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple rene
dy never fails.

tress:
This call OF suffering humanity is
a continuing one. and we cannot
close our ears TO its appeal. There
is still the need for clothing, either
ready-made or the material in pat
terms. for either women or children.
A splendid opportunity is presented
by the timely offer OF some OF our
merchants, TO sell on Wednesday and
Thursday Of this week, to those who
purchase for the Belgian Relief, gar
ments for women and children at re-
duced prices. and remnants Of goods
suitable for making up into such.
"The New York committee for Bel
gian Relief tells US that Materials
suitable for garments are as useful as
the ready-made clothes. as they serve
20 give employment to many depend
ent women in Belgium.
"The wonderfully practical and ef-
fcient organization and management
of the Belgian Relief Commission, un-
der It's president, Herbert c. Hoover,
is known 10 all the world, and the
names OF the advisory committee, Sc
lected by the President OF the United
States To cooperate with this COM
mission. are a guarantee OF financial
responsibility. No salary is paid TO
any OF its officers and its operating
expenses are less than three-quarters
OF one per cent. OF the value OF goods
handled.
"In New York it mobilizes food and
clothing and secures shipping for
their transportation over seas.
"In London, 1t directs operations
and secures guarantees that its YES
sells may pass safely on their errand
Of mercy through the blockade and
past the submarines.
"In Rotterdam it transfers its car
goes from ships to canal boats and
hurries them into Belgium.
"In Brussels it apportions supplies
according to the need It reaches
every commune in the stricken land.
Those purchasing goods here may
have them delivered at the headquar-
ters OF the Belgian relief committee,
or those who prefer to give money for
this purpose. may send their contri-
buttons to Sylvester ID. Townsend,
care of the Wilmington Trust Com
