YOUR FRECkLES
Need Attention In March or Face
May Stay Covered,

Now is the time to take special
care of the complexion if you wish it
to look well the rest of the year. The
March winds have a strong tendency
to bring out freckles that may stay
all Summer unless removed. Now is
the time to use othine-double
strength.
This prescription for the removal
OF freckles was written by a prom
inent physician and is usually SO sue
cessful that it is sold by druggists
under guarantee to refund the money
If it fails. Get an ounce of othine-
double strength, and even a few ap-
plications should show a wonderful
Improvement, some of the smaller
treckles even vanishing entirely

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, ordi-
nary 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 gong, and thee or
four more applications will complete
ly 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 scalp will stop in
stantly 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. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you viii need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-Advertisement.

FARMERS SECURE RIGHT
TO DYKE OLALLA SLOUGH

Last Monday word was receiv-
ed from Washington, d. C. that
the Chamberlain bill, authoriz-
ing the building of a dam across
Olalla slough near the Hans Oh
son place, had passed. This
project has been under way for
several years and has been helu
up pending the passage of the
Dill. With its passage all obsta-
cles have been overcome and
work will soon be commenced,
This dam and dyke when
completed will reclaim hun.
dreds of acres of tidelands, the
richest land in the world, and
place 1t in the income produc.
ing class. This proposition has
been tried by Con. and Claus
Christiansen, John Rhoades, r
II. Williams, and others who
dubbed together and put a dam
with flood gates, across the
mouth of Little Beaver, a tribu.
tary to Depot slough, and by this
means opened up to production
several hundred acres of the
richest land in the county. The
project on Little Beaver has
proved an unqualified success
and We can see no reason why
the Olalla project should not.
The farmers living on Depot
slough are working on a similar
proposition, and if carried
through to success it is the in.
tention to place the dam across
the slough at the Dundon bridge
We like to see these projects
carried out, as they mean much
to the future growth and devel.
opment of this county.

drives for Billy Graham, had a
peculiar runaway. AS he was

safety. After attaining a good
lively speed the wagon slowed
out OF the road, cramped short
ly around, broke off a front
wheel, and stopped, and stood
patiently waiting while George
approached and caught it.
