A SURE 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 (this is all
you will need), apply 1t at night
when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub 1t 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 dissolve and en-
tirely 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 in
stantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.

the ground that it had resolved itself into
"beauty contest"

is too much publicity given to the value men

promoted by sex literature, musical comedies

fashions in dress.
women ought to combine to stop it. It is
time for college girls and for all educated women
to withdraw from this kind of competition.
ut was not jealousy which destroyed Vassar's
lovely daisy chain, as the facetious intimate. It
was that kind of advertising which puts college
beauties on the same level with the professional
beauties of the chorus and ballet, which reduces
the daisy Chalmers" to an equal fame with the
Floradora girls.

Nor 10 It right to conclude, because tho
war stretched out over years and
reached a scale and intensity never
contemplated at the beginning or be-

French General staff was shortsighted.
Although events proved that the Ger
mans were fatally wrong in their cal
culations, they were not wrong by
much. The balance quivered in sus-
pense. Between q short land war, with
dazzling German triumph, and long
land war, with German expiation, there
