TRY THIS IF YOU
HAVE 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 in
stantly, and your hair viii 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 win need. This SIM
pie remedy has never been known to
fail.

Will Test Quality
of Salem Gas Plant

y. A. Rascn, examiner for the Pub
lie Service commission of Oregon, is
in the city to test the quality of the
gas of the Salem Gas company. The
test made this morning shows Cos Bri-
tish thermal units. This is regarded as
a gas Of superior quality, as the Port
land test only shows $40 British therm.
al units.
He is also proving the accuracy Of
the apparatus by whicn gas meters are
tested. His outfit consists Of trav.
cling case containing oue-tenth cubic
foot container, which has been proven
by the Federal Bureau of Standards,
Washington, d. G., and is the basis for
all gas meter calculations. 1t contains
two thermometers which record to one
one.hundredth Of degree Of heat.
These are used in the testing Of the
qualities Of the gas.
Mr.. Rasch also makes tests for the
purity, as the commission has set q
standard by which all gas companies
in the state must comply. This deals
with pressure, methods Of meter test
ing, qualities Of gas and the keeping
Of records
The main reason for Mr.. Rasch com
ing TO Salem this time was tae com
plant Of a citizen, who desired an Of
fetal referee test Of his gas meter and
was willing to pay the expenses Of the
test.
According TO the test in comparison
with Portland, Salem, gas is quite su
perior in heating qualities.

FLEET OF SAILING
VESSELS IS ASSURED
Will Ply Between San Fran
cisco and Alaska Seal
ing Waters

Oakland, Cal, Jan. 1.-THE con-
struction Of u fleet of thirty sealing
schooners in this port, which, when
completed, will ply between Alaskan
waters and the new 100000 munici-
pal quay wall, was practically assured
today when II. Lebes and Edward II.
Ladd, two well known California cap
italists and furriers, together with ro-
presentatives of the Alaska Commercial
company called for bids for tile $780,
1000 job from Oakland ship builders.
The ships which will have to be com
pleted within the next year and half,
viii average between ninety and
hundred tons and will be fast sailors.
In 1918 the 20 year seal protection
law placed by the government, will go
out of operation and the sealing in
dustry will be reopened to general en-
terprise. The sole right to carry on
seal fishing is now held by North AM
erican Commercial company, which
gained it through open bidding. Their
industry has been carried on in the
Pribilof Islands in the Behring sea. II
is in preparation for extensive seal
trading beginning 1918 that Lebes,
Ladd and the Alaska Commercial com
pany heads are getting their big ship
order under way.
OF the old sailing fleet Of thirty
schooners but three are available, the
others having been absorbed into other
lines Of industry and scattered to the
most remote parts Of the seas.
Each of the thirty ships will carry
crew Of % men, five men to each seal
ing cutter carried aboard. The trips,
in the past, have lasted six months.
Under the present sealing restric-
tions the japanese and English have
been enjoying unlimited fishing, outside
the three mile limit, inside of which
they may not carry ON their industry.

There is reason to believe that the

The growing danger of an uprising
against our expeditionary force under
General Pershing, the repeated RAIDS
and killing of Americans on American

carranza government are sufficient
excuse for mobilizing every available

A TEMPLE OF JUSTICE.

The state bar association will appear
before the next legislature with a bill
for the erection of a fre-proof build
Ing on the state capitol grounds for the
department Of justice. 1t is well known
that the business of the state has out
capitol. The Thirty fifth general as
sembly which provided for the pur-
chase Of additional grounds also levied
tax which is expected to provide
money enough for additional office
buildings and It will be UP to another
legislature to appropriate from this
fund for the specific kind of building
to be erected.
Tine lawyers want a separate build
ing for the supreme court. attorney
generals department and law library.
The state of Iowa possesses library
which ranks second in Importance
among state libraries. 1t is housed
now in the capito. building which is
not fre-proof. If it were removed to
a modern, fre-proof temple OF justice
there would be an abundance of room
vacated in the old capitol for the adj
ditional offices needed.
There is going to be a new building
erected. The struggle will be between
various commissions seeking to &C.

PRIMARY PEANUTTiNG.

A few weeks ago it seemed that the
republican voters of the First Iowa
congressional district might have a
chance to choose a congressional nomi-
nee from a field of four or five strong
| candidates. Now it has simmered
down to a twosome between Kennedy
and Thorne. What has become OF the
old fashioned reformer who boosted
for the primary because 1t would en-
courage everybody who might feel am
bilious to serve the people to submit
his candidacy for the consideration Of
the voters HSiouX City Journal.
The above is a sample of anti pri.
mary argument. specious enough to
influence the unthinking but thorough
, ly deceptive. The truth Of the stu
alton is the best defense of the pri-
mary-if the primary needs any de-
Tense.
Kennedy has been congressman a
long time in the First district, the sort
Of congressman that suits certain In
terests and leaderships in that district
opposition of his own kind. Mcles-
berry came out, the same Mclesberry
that differed the bill to permit rail-
road mergers in Iowa and that was
busted" wide open by Cummins if We
care to go back to the history of open
conflict in this state. Others came
out and finally Clifford Thorne.
Thorne's entry into the race pricked
the bubble With old time political
sagacity the opposition to Thorne and
the principles he stands for saw that
but Kennedy fell out. 1t is reported
that an arrangement between Kennedy
and Molesberry included the abdica
ton of Kennedy TWO years hence and
the elevation of Moesberry. The story
sounds reasona Bile to those who know
how such things are done. 1t is going
to take all the old guard all its time TO
beat Thorne and it may fail at that.
Now in those older days when the
political general sat in Burlington and
issued orders from the offices of
great heLHeuS anu
berry would have fought out their diff
ferences in the back room with the
general counsel Of the Burlington as
umpire. referee and arbiter. The word
would have gone out and the caucuses

of the favored pair would have been
nominated. Thorne nor any other can
didate undesirable to the invisible gov
eminent of that halcyon day would
have stood as much chance for nom,-
nation as George Cosson to be elected
president of the so-called German
American saloon alliance.
The Sioux City Journal is unfor,-
innate in its illustration. When the
facts are before US that esteemed con-
temporary has succeeded only in
clinching fast the best argument for

A LESSON IN THRIFT.

Marshalltown seems to have put an
other red mark on the map with the
organization to conserve paper waste
and put il hack into circulation again.
Trade and industrial Journals are ask
ing details of the Crganiza ton and let
ters are arriving from all over the
country requiring explanation that will,
assist forming similar Organiza t!ons.
Best of all the local com nany finds a
quick response To It's appeals and finds
that car load lots Of waste paper are
readily obtained
The scheme is in line with modern
as utterly inefficient the America n
custom of wastefulness takes the high
est rank III that category. Little in
dividual wastes that aggregate into
large sums annually are common in
every city and on every farm in Iowa.
The Russian Jew gets rich in a dozen
to pick up off the farms he visits with
a horse and wagon. on machinery
thrown aside TO rust away. We are
wonted to profusion IN Iowa. Small
wastes do not interest US. Small losses
do not hurt US. We scorn pennies and
are interested only in the dollars. The
small change is incidental. And thus
the state loses millions every year.
The past few years have taught us
lesson in production; we know now
that we can raise more corn and that
We must do it on our $500 acre land
Perhaps the paper conservation move
ment forced on us by the advances in
price and the scarcity of paper making
material is the beginning Of general
movement against the almost criminal
waste that characterizes the middle
west.
One of the laws Of success laid down
by old men who have grown wealthy
is that no man ever got rich by what
he earned but by what he saved. Ac-
emulation comes out Of saving not by
production. The profits Of the packing
houses comes directly nowadays out
Of the waste that a few years ago was
thrown away. It's a big profit. 1t was
big waste.

up on the waste inside and outside the
