CLAIMANT TO MILLIONS
 DIES AT PORT TOWNSEND

PORT TOWNSEND, Jan. 19.-J. 5. Wycoff, Puget Sound pioneer and claimant to New York city property valued at between $25O,000, 900 and S3OO, 100000, died Sunday at his home here, almost S9 years of age. He had lived on Puget Sound since 1865, first at Olympia and later at Port Townsend.
 He was one of the heirs of large estate on Pearl street in New York, the title of which is about to be test ed in the courts. It was owned by his grandfather and great uncle. In 1908 it was leased to the Trinity As sociation of New York for 99 years.
 After the death of Cornelius Wye off, grandfather of Josiah, in 1863, the heirs scattered and most of them and died when the lease expired. Jo- siah Wycoff's claim of heirship is be- ing contested vigorously by the Trini- ty Association and others. The sons of the deceased will continue the fight for the property.

Dandrufy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick. beau
tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't. s.
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 or
dinary liquid arvon; apply 1t at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub 1t 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 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. This simple rem
edy never fails
