DANDRUFFY HEADS
BECOME HAIRLESS

Ifyou want plenty of thick, beauti-
full, glossy, silky hair, do by all means
get rid of dandruff, for 1t will starve
your hair and ruin it If you don't.
1t 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 1t. then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces Of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply It at
night when retirin s; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub 1t in gent
ly with the finger tips.
By morning, most IL not all, of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of 1t.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hun
dred times better. You can get LIQUID
arvon at any drug store. 1t Is mex
pensive and four ounces is all you
will need, no matter how much dan
druff you have.i This simple remedy
never fails.-Advertisement

Federal Agents Find
High Price of Wheat

consequent high price of wheat -four

ficials say. On the contrary, they as
sert, there is every reason to believe
that the wheat market has been ma
nipulated and that brokers are reap
ing a golden harvest.
The administration now has three
separate agencies at work investi-
eating the cause of abnormal wheat
prices, all of which have been sending
in reports tending to bear out the
statement that the wheat market is
being manipulated.
Official statistics in possession of the
Department of Agriculture show that
the average wheat crop for the seven
teen years from 1900 to 1916, in
elusive, was 6S2 100000 bushels. The
governments estimate for this year
which is conservative as usual, is
COZ, 100000 bushels. This shows that
while the wheat crop for 1916 is lower
than the average, it is not so low II
could be classed as abnormal or give
excuse for the present sky-high prices

the secret was soon out. The great men
OF the world said: "Who could have writ

have written this-one of the most spirit

came from the pen of man? Ithas almost

He said: "Don't make editions to sell for

made this set. And until now we were
