Combing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most,
if not all, of your dandruf will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve 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 sca1p will a stop at once
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is Inexpensive and never fails
to do the. work.

Of this city, have received orders to
report for duty at the front--not on
the Mexican border, but in an effort
to stem the tide toward republican
victory in the grand old state of Mis-

the dem ocratic state committee, and
the "colonels" are permitted to
choose their own fighting ground.

better able to withstand the trials of
a vigorous campaign, is the puzzling
question 1t is really none of our
affair, but we suggest that if these
two old campaigners are compelled
to report for duty that they be per-
mitted to take charge of the home

boundary lines of Clark county.

there will be a collection of talent
all recommended by the Western
Vaudeville Managers association, and
all of the acts have bookings for the

and Main streets, and one will be
constructed at Twelfth and Main. On
T. e.. <~f< 1.o fy.nn ontcs
will be given. A. third platform will
be erected on Main between Sixth
and seventh streets. This will be
so constructed that it can be moved
into the intersection of Main and

roller skates will be placed wherever
the committee thinks it the best
place.
The Air Queen.
Heading the free acts, of course.
Is Ruth Law, the queen of the air.
Miss Law makes two flights daily in
her Curtiss biplane. She loops the
loop, dives out of the clouds, flies
along at the speed of an express
train, and suddenly fiops her ma
chine over and skates through the
air, flying upside down. In her night
flights she is no less spectacular.
Her machine is illuminated and she
flies high into the. air, until she
rivals the stars. Then suddenly she
darts downward, leaving trail of
