MILK PRICES TO SOAR,
PRODUCERS PREDICT

Washington may be paying Is
cents or more a quart for milk by
October ]. is the belief Of those who
are closely connected with the in
dustry.
The marked increase in the cost
OF labor and feeds, the decreased
supply OF milk due largely TO the in
creased cost. will cSsse this result.
II is expected that the increase in
the demand for milk may, in some
respect. cause the rice.
Since June Washington has felt
a shortage Of milk, and II is due
largely to the fact that the pOpula-
ton has Increased nearly 5000. Not
only this, but the coming OF 40.0o0
men at Admiral. Nd, will have
great effect upon the present milk
supply.

hair and ruin it il you don't.
1t doesn't do much good 70 try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to got rid Of dandrufl Is to dissolve
it, then YOU destroy ii entirely. To do
this, get about four otnces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all OF your
dandrulf 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 viii stop, and your
hair will look and feel bundled times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any

ounces is all you win need, no matter
