Fargo's War Relief
Association In Need
of Many More Workers

Although its financial needs have
been supplied for the Immediate pres
emit by the proceeds of the recent bene-
mt entertainment, the local War Relief
association is seriously in need Of more
workers. The attendance at the work
meetings on Wednesday and Saturday
afternoons at 1850 o'clock at the Y. w.
c. A. gymnasium has fallen off consid-
erably of late, and ever since this asso-
citation was started the heaviest end of
the work has fallen upon few faithful
members of the association.
The leaders in this organization feel
Americans fghting in the trenches in
Europe ought alone to be sufficient in
centive to help in preparing hospital
supplies, of which there is a constant
dearth: Not only is the appeal being
made locally for workers. but the re-
quest for liberal donations Of old linens
and any kind of clean white cotton ma
terials, new or old. Is renewed These
relief associations are now being urged
to wrap the hospital supplies which
they make in cotton, as it is easier to
sterilize the bundles than when wrap
ped In paper as formerly, and the wrap
pings themselves may thus be utilized.
Many of the supplies are made up at the
hospitals themselves, but 1t Is both ex-
ceedingly difficult and expensive to OBJ
tain materials in Europe, owing to the
immensely of demand, which is such as
can be only dimly realized over here.

OF which he illustrated what made each

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 de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply 1t 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
dandruf win 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 viii find, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop in
stantiy, and your hair win be fluffy,
lusfrous. glossy, silky and soft. and
look and feel q hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
satore. Il Is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you viii need. This sins
pie remedy has never been known 70
