Sure Way to Get
Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
'ails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-.
stroys it entirely. To do this, Just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply il at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub 1t in gently with the
finger tips
BY morning, most if not all. of your
dandruf will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
silgle sign and trace of il. no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You viii 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. Il is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.

retary Baker, the duPonts have been
engaged actively for some time in a
search for an available site. Before
the crisis Of the European war they
had considered two or three sites
outside Of the United States, but the
possibility OF complications with
other nations led the company to
abandon this plan Since its aban-
donment the company has devoted a
great deal OF time and energy to
canvassing available sites in the
United States. The presentation OF
the tentative draft Of a bill is the
first concrete result of this invest-
CATION
The Norwegian process for the
manufacture OF nitric acid from the
nitrogen i'm the air lis the only process
which so far has been thoroughly
commercially tried out The patent
rights for this process were purchased
a couple Of years ago for the COM
pany by lrenee DUPONT. who went
abroad with a corps OF assistants to
Investigate the process. The result Of
this investigation was so satisfactory
that negotiations were closed Just be-
fore the outbreak OF the European
war.
Discussed by Naval Board.
This subject of the synthetic pro-
duction Of nitrogen has been one of
the most important taken up by the
Naval Consulting Board Early i'm
March the board put i'm practical
shape suggestions for Supplying the
country, deeming this one of the most
important measures OF preparedness,
and pointing out that agricultural in-
terests are equally dependent on nj
trOgen products as is a nation at war.
At recent meeting i'm New York
plans were made by firms represent
ing 5000. 900. 900 invested i'm hydro
electric machinery to induce the gov
ornment TO aid i'm supplying power
for the making OF nitric acid. Tho
thought which animated this meeting
was that its members did not care
who might use the water power nor
what restrictions the government
might place on its use; they only
wanted something done
They wanted work resumed i'm an
industry which mad been paralyZed for
nearly three years, making this coun-
try almost entirely dependent on Chile
for it's supply of nitrates
General Crozier. chief OF ordnance
OF the army. has been most insistent
that the government should take some
action looking to a replenishing of the
American supply of nitrates In a re-
cent report he set forth this vital fea-
ture in the unpreparedness situation
of the United States. He recommend
ed that electrical processes should be
established and developed in this
country for taking nitrogen from the
air. He even went so far as to say
that, if means could not be found TO
promote the work through private en-
terprise, It would be the soundest eco
nomic policy for the government itself

ture OF nitrogen products from the air

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help. else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
tion is perfectly natural. Ii is lust
as natural as ii is for old people 10
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as 10 neglect this
gentle aid TO weak bowels. The bowels
must be kept active. This is important
at ali ages. but never so much as at
fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and ma
fural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The only
such tonic is Cascarets. and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store.

PLACE, NEW TAX
 ON WINNINGS IN AUSTRIAN RACES
Half a Million Dollars Ex- pected from Stakes of
 Lucky Plungers.

Vienna, Oct 5.-The newest Aus trian tax, by which the government hopes to increase its annual income by something like two and a half mill lion crowns (half a million dollars) is a new and additional levy on the bet ting at the various Austrian race tracks.
 The new tax provides that in addi- ton to the percentage of all total istateur (pari mutueD wagers already taken by the government, special win tax'' shall be imposed on all those who pick horses that pay 30 crowns or more for 10 wagered. . Thus, if the pari pays 31 for 10, the government will take an extra 10 he1- lers from the winner; this percentage of tax rises until the government will collect 24 crowns in such cases as the pari pays 250 for, 10, an occurrence by no means infrequent when the ia =, vorite horse is beaten by an outsider.
 From the figures of the betting at the race tracks during the past sea- son, and the prices which the hugely patronized pari mutuel machines have paid, the government estimates that it can increase it's income by rouad million crowns.
 Anothef million and a half it ex- poets to realize from a similar special tax on bets made with the bookma- kers in the race track rings. The new tax will appreciably enhance an already profitable business for the gov- ernment, for under the old system it collects 20 per cent. of all money wa- gered before the scale which the pari is to pay is reckoned up.

future indemnities as security for H. lquidation. But it has evidently not dismayed the German people. despite the reports that come now and then as to the supposed financial bank ruptcies of individual bankers and citizens. ~
 |, The German Secretary of the Treas- ury, Dr. Karl Hefferich, has not util- ized the popular advertising methods of the English; the loans have been advertised as simple commercial pro jects, as they have been advertised in this country, and people have so taken them up. On the word of ithe Sec retary himself all of these popular subscriptions (the great bulk in small sums from the mass of the people) have been made voluntarily and not the least pressure has been exerted from above. To the fourth German war loan, for instance, which amount ed to some $2,678,000,000, excluding the subscriptions of persons on the lighting lines and in foreign countries, 5,279,646 people, men,, women and children, subscribed. The number of subscribers for 200 marks or less was nearly 2,5OO,000, and altogether the small investors subscribed 200,- 900, ,00O marks. The floating Of the loans has gone on apparently with less and less difficulty, and associations of employees in factories. savings banks, labor unions. holders of pension funds, servant girls. charitable relief asso- ciations, cities, towns and groups of school children have bought up shares in the loans. The rigid Ger man organization and the discipline the system that has utilized the saw ings banks. that has founded addition al loan banks and war credit banks and the safeguarded stupendous credit of the whole scheme-havo one for Germany what the popular appeal, the poster and the insistent popular ap- peal have done for England.

EXPERT WILL
 EXPLAIN TANLAC
Atlantic Pharmacy Fortunate In Securing
 Exclusive Agency
TOMORROW IS THE DAY
Will Be On Hand to Meet Public and Point Out Merits oi
 National Tonic

The introduction of Tanlac will be- gin tomorrow in Bridgeport at the Atlantic Pharmacy. 99O Main street.
 In the presentation of this great national reconstructive tonic are two unique features. First is the aston ishing record Tanlac has made in other cities. For its therapeutic value in cases of stomach, liver, kidney and nerve exhaustion makes it stand alone. The demand for Tanlac has been so great that a company has been especi- ally formed for its introduction here, because the owners of the famous for mula have been unable to meet the country wide demand.
 Second, the introduction will be un- der the personal direction of M. M. Ochincoff, who comes direct from the Tanlac laboratories. MT. Ochincoff will meet the public at the Atlantic Pharmacy. where he will explain Tam lac, how it should be used, and the results that may be expected from it's use by nervous, rundown men and women who are victims of faulty di- gestion, sluggish congested organs, poor assimilation, imperfect circulation or catarrhal affections of the mucous membrane. t@
 IT. an, explanation of Tan]ac and its purpose yesterday MT. Ochincoff said: ''Tanlac is the great national recon structive tonic. It is made up wholly of vegetable ingredients and is, there fore, free of the mineral taint that is so often feared by sufferers.
 An astonishing number of Ameri- cans of today are victims of the so- called modern maladies, nine-tenths of which have their origin in stomach disorder. All run down Is the de- scription in a nut shell of the majority of sufferers. These men and, women scarcely are fitted for the ordinary tasks of life. They lack ambition and and. in many cases. suffer from chronic ailments of some vital organ. They are paying the price of neglect, of over-taxing their reserve forces. t-,t -t

"They are all tired out in the morn. ing. their sleep not having been rest producing, and they drag through the day on a low speed that never gets anybody anywhere in this day of hurry. They arise. often with eested tongue, bad breath, headaches, pains in the limbs, back or kidney region, or are dizzy, even nauseated. and to rub the clinging sleep from their eyes is even too much for them.
 "A heavy, dull bloated feeling in the stomach stiles appetite and they go to their tasks without a hearty breakfast and it is hours before they throw off the lethargy of the early morning, if they do so at any time.
 "The catarrhal sufferer is even a more pitiable object. As he sleeps the mucous disorders his stomach and he awakes. craving a bracer or stimu- iant. There is no get up and go to it. spirit in him. He is suffering from watery eyes and a desire to sneeze frequently. Even an egg and cup of coffee sometimes nauseates him. On the car down town he drowses and is too lazy to take a real interest ip af- fairs, about him.
 "He hasn't a chance in the big game of life and oft-times he knows it, but feels iso miserable he dosen't care. The spirit of putting it off till tomorrow often has him in a firm grip because the vitality for today is not there.
 TCatarrh is the great American malady.. Neglected catarrah of the head often causes deafness. Catarrh of the stomach or kidneys results in dyspepsia and Bright's Disease. Ca- tarrh of the throat, many times, is communicated to the lung tissues by way of the bronchial tubes"
