YOU CAN'T BRUSH OR
WASH OUT DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve 1t, then you
destroy 1t entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply 1t at night
when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub 1t in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morn
ing, most IL not all, OF your dand-
ruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of IL, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all Itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop at once, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous. glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid srvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

OR EY'S
|LETTER RS i

My Dear Miss Grey: /,
too, am interested in your
column. have read the
different opinions on the
subject of poverty. Mere
Man" is right. Poverty is
hell and there is no other.
Referring to Ruth and the
other women who claim that
poverty kills a woman's love
for her husband. do not
think 1t is the poverty so
much as the realization that
she IL tied to an incompe-
tent man and the case looks
hopeless. When faith and
hope are destroyed, there is
not much foundation left
upon which to build love.
Therefore, the wealthy wom-
an with all material things
at.her command loses her
love for her husband when
she learns he is false. or
course, this is a rule that
works both ways. Many a
fine young man has married
the wrong woman and been
deceived.
When we all become more
enlightened, when we look
upon marriage as a partner
ship where both persons are
free born and when woman
herself learns that the little
scrap of paper called a mar
riage certificate does not
mean that she Is her part
ner's slave, but his equal in
all things, when woman is
educated to bring children
into the world voluntarily
and intelligently, we will have
less poverty, less crime,
less everything that Is unde-
sira BILE and that has no place,
and should not be tolerated

on this beautiful earth.

on InlS beautiful edrln.
Sentimentalists can pirate
about the sancity of mar
riage, but it looks to me as
though the ceremony is not
properly understood by the
vast majority. Every mar
ried person should realize
that the marriage ceremony
does not mean unbridled
license. It is as essential to
live clean, moral lives after
marriage as before. lmmor-
atty in marriage is the one
thing which destroys more
homes than all else COM
bined. When children are
forced upon woman, and
even the husband finds fault
and does not want them and
cannot provide for them,
where is the glory OF moth
erhood"? And where is the
sanctity of the marriage rela-
ton? ADA

ENGINESNOT
TO BE SAVED
UNITED Press Leased Wirs.,

EUREKA, Cal, Jan. 25.-The
boilers and armor plate of the
cruiser Milwaukee cannot be
saved, according to salvage con-
tractors here today.
Most of the cruisers engines
will have to be abandoned, too,
owing to the heavy cost of taking
them out.
AS junk the metal would be
worth only $40 a ton, and 1t
would cost 500 a ton to save It,
contractors said.
The amount of equipment and
material that can bs saved from
the Milwaukee will be worth ST..
100000, say the contractors. but
it would cost the navy department
at least 100000 to refloat her
and put her In shape again.
