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 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 the 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. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has Rsyer been known to fail.

and Germany much better of, Will

recuperate with little or no oDposi-

"The tax problem OF the future is
Enthusiastically a very great prob

ton Is the best of any because she
starts in to adjust her financial af-
fairs with huge sum on the credit
side Of the ledger, consisting Of her
railroads, domains and mines. The
Prussian railroads alone today are
worth more than the combined debts
OF all the German states.
Contrast US with England, and its
huge state debt and immense war in
debtedness, and with only Its Suez
canal interests as a credit. Com
pare US with Italy, the mott over
taxed nation in the world. In con-
templating what our taxes will be,
remember that England's taxes even
today may be called sky scraper
taxes In comparison with which ours
are like proyerbial white raven.
Our taxes after the war, while
higher than now, will not be higher
than Italy's were before. Taxes are
not happy things and no one likes
to pay them, but they are not going
to be SO high that we will have to
raise wages and salaries. We shall
probably introduce a few monopolies
and other indirect taxes, and we are
going to havea commercial field such
as we never have had before.

pIoyer is not usually aItruistic and
that therefore raises must be forced
by those who need them. This In
spite Of the fact that the German en-
ployer and man OF means in general
has shown himself throughout the
war to be self-sacrifsing and thought
full OF those dependent on him.
DR.. Schmidt disputes energetlcally
the claim OF labor leaders that the
returning soldiers after the war are
going 10 depress wages, and upholds
the contention OF Herr Bergman and
others that Germany needs and Will
need for some time 10 come all the
workers 1t can get, merely to re-sup-
ply itself. DR.. Schmidt adds that the
size Of mans income really has less
to do With his expenditures than has
his own individuality. What comes
in and how you come out bears little
relation to each other" is the way
he puts it. Expanding on this idea,
he declares that whether increases
in salaries come or not, Germany Will
be able to meet any new taxation by
means OF retrenchment, simply be-
cause Germany is saving by nature.

rison's resignation as secretary of
war comes MS no surprise. Telegram
readers may recall that as long ago
as April S,'1915, his resignation was
predicted, together with some expla-
nation Of the causes Of his dissatis-
faction. The real surprise was that
he managed to hold on as long as he
did, and probably the explanation Of
that is that, with the retirement Of
Mr.. Bryan, he hoped for an improve

To this record is now being added
the proof Of shameful neglect. With

Paving Badly Needed.


A much-needed Improvement the
city council will doubtless make the
coming year is that of paving the
southern part of South Chestnut street
all the way into and through the
Monticello addition, the condition Of
which part Of that street is especially
bad, in fact so bad that it is almost
impossible at times and always hard
to travel over, be it summer or win
ter. The Telegram feels assured that
the council realizes the importance OF
having such work done and regards it
so imperative as to devote funds to the
work at the very earliest opportunity.
That section Of the city has grown
quite important on account Of Its fine
factory features. In addition the city
has a valuable water works plant
there, in fact the only plant Of the
kind the city owns. The city itself,
therefore, uses the street constantly
In hauling materials for the operation
of the water works. and in case of
fire there the fire department would
be needed. At present the department
could scarcely get its equipment to
the plant we're fire to break out.
The same is true as to the well-popu-
lated addition.
In this connection, it should not be
overlooked that many factory en-
ployees have to use that street, which
fact emphasizes the necessity Of paw
ing the street thus doing away with
the mud and slush that are splashed
over pedestrians when they pass
teams there.
There is considerable agitation for
the paving Of that street and it
promises to result in early action by
the city council as previously stated
The council can make no city inn
lprovement more needed.

Democrats Demoralized.

The Democrats in Congress are de-
moralized and dlsheartened and are
guilty of deliberate neglect.
BY actual daily count since the hol-
tdays the Democrats have been fewer
in number on the floor Of the House
than Republicans, except for seven
roll calls. An uniformed observer
would have supposed that the Repub-
ilcans and not the Democrats were
the responsible party.
There are in the House 22S Demo-
Gratis and 1917 Republicans. The rec
ord of attendance shows that on ev-
cry day during January, with the ex-
ceptions noted, the Republicans out
numbered the Democrats on the floor,
sometimes two to one, and sometimes
three to one.
Here is the record. by daily actual
count:

Ferry and Dock
Workers Quit At
Staten Island

New York, April 26.--Staten Island
saw the inception of two strikes early
Tuesday when 1ongshoremen tied up
the work of the American Dock Com
pany at its piers between TOmplSins-
Vile and st. George, and the deckhands
of the TottenvilIe- Perth AInboy FER
ry deserted the boats.
The longshoremen, 200 of whom Quit
at midnight, demand an increase Of
eight cents an hour. The ferrymen
want an additional $40 a month No
effort was made to fill the places OF
the lonsshoremen, but the ferry com
pany anticipating the strike, had me-
groes assembled to man the boats. Fer
ry service was continued almost with
out interruption.
Four ships at the dock company i
piers were held up yesterday due tc
the shortage OF freight handlers, and
long lines of trucks collected with
each hour. The police OF the West
Brighton and Stapleton stations have
sent reserves to the docks to preserve
order. This morning the strikers caus-
ed no disturbance. They simply stood
near the piers and refused to work.
The day and evening shifts, 400 mem
are expected to join them to-day
The company officials said the strike
was not anticipated, denying asser-
tons of the strikers that tFeir de-
nands were sent the cofnpan5 several

THE HOTTEST PLACE

Death Valley is the hottest place
in the United States. Tt lies in the
desert of southern California not far
from the Nevada line. A weather

One day in July, 1913-the 10th of
