Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair

Girls-if YOU want plenty of thick,
beautiful. glossy silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff. for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy 1t entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces Of
ordinary liquid aryon. 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
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel n hundred
times better. You can get liquid arNon
at any drug store. 1t is inexpensive
and -four ounces is all you will need,
no matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never fails.

need, France felt the lack among her
scientists of men able to give practical
application to their discoveries.

reformation of the educational system
is in favor of the adoption of the Amer

at work in the school itself rather than
by competitive examination. Senator
Gay proposes to complete each of the
French universities with a faculty of
applied sciences, comprising instruc-
tion in all branches that correspond to
the industries of the region in which
the university is located. France has
already a number of these regional
technical schools which require only
slight transformations in order to con-
form themselves to the proposed plan.
At Nancy there are the chemical.
electrical and colonial institutes, with
a brewing school and a dairy institute.
while Lyons had 4 school of tanning
chemistry and an agricultural institute.
At Crenoble there is an electrical insti-
tute and Il butter making school, while
Toulouse has an electrical and chemical
institute. These institutions in the
opinion of experienced educators lack
cohesion and completeness. Senator
