TRY THIS II YOU
HAVE DANDRUFF

X * X X X X x X x x X X X \ X
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This destroys
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; 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, no matter
how much dandruff you hay have.
/ You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in,
stantly, and your hair win be fluffy
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store 1t is inexpensive, and four ounc'
es is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail

Mr. Anderson, with great emphasis,

be a phenomenon in America incon-

something is done to prevent it,

Mr. Anderson said he and his as
sistants had found 1t utterly impos-
sible to learn what food supplies were
held in storage in New York, Chicago
Boston, Duluth and other cities until
witnesses were brought before the

The delay caused thereby gave op

Evacuation of Village Ad-

SACRIFICES ARE IN VAIN
Teutons Battle Desperately to No Avail
and Flames of Burning Towns Be
ports of Further Retirement.

London, May 19.-Bullecourt is al
last in British hands and the Drocourt-
Queant line appears doomed. The
tremendous sacrifices made by the
Germans have proved in vain and the
flames of burning towns behind their
lines give color to reports that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg is contem
plating another strategic retreat
The capture of Bullecourt has
brought the British to within two
miles of Queant, on the northern side
of the famous switch line. Their
guns have already encircled it at an
equal distance to the south and east
and only a narrow gateway to the
northwest lies open to the German
garrison.
Bullecourt itself, over which rivers
of blood have flown, stands on height
overlooking a broad valley which runs
directly to Queant.
1t presumably will take some time
for the British to establish their
heavy guns on this height, but the
fate of Queant seems sealed.
Additional reports from the Italian
front emphasize the Importance of the
victory won by General Cadorna, but
they also bring word that the Aus
trians have reacted and apparently
the usual period Of counter attacks
will follow the first successful assault
on the lsonZo heights The enormous
difficulties of the terrain over which
General Cadorna is operating render
improbable any sensational advance
and the prospects are for a repetition
of the hammer and tongs fighting that
is proceeding In France.
Important news from Europe is the
announcement that Japan is going to
take an active part in the great strug-
gle.
Japanese naval force has arrived

cording to the dispatches, with the
special purpose Of protecting French
shipping. This unheralded action by
