 We, the officers of the Connecticut branch of the League to Enforce Peace, earnestly protest against any action at present by the senate upon the presidents peace message, which shall commit the United States to a stand against eventual participa ton by our government in League to En- force Peace.

In matter of such vast possibilities, haste and partisanship are alike de- plorable.''

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beautiful,
glossy, silky hair, do by all means get
rid of dandruff, for it viii 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 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 ruo
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruf will be gone, and three or -four
more applications will completely dis
solve 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 a hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. Thl
simple remedy never fails.
