ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moistcu the scalp and rub 1t

dandrufT will be gone, and three or four
more applications viii completely dis

digging of the scalp will stop instantly,
aud your hair will be fluffy, mstrous.

The Congress Called for War
(From the New York SUM.

After prolonged and disheartening
delay Congress is called in extra Sos
sion for April 2. II must then go
through with the ticklsh business OF
organizing the House, in which Meth
err great party has an assured major

the late Michael Conry, OF New York.
and Cyrus Sulloway. Of New Hampr
shire, will not at that time have been
held, and the temptation will he
strong upon both parties 10 resort to
dilatory tactics until those contests
are determined. II is not improbable
that a prolonged deadlock may result.
while every consideration OF national
honor and Of national safety demands
that the Congress should be in posi-
ton TO declare Immediately our posi-
ton IN the war which is already upon
US.
II must be apparent TO the Presl-
dent himself as 10 is to the people.
that a highly unfortunate blunder was
made when the day OF the adjourn
ment OF Congress was permitted to
pass without its immediate summons
in extra session. Nevertheless the
blunder can be repaired If the Admin
istration Will supply the coming Con-
gress with a programme so virile and
so militant as to furnish that body,
and the people as well, with a def
mite and inspiring policy.

in ignoring that fact. If Germany

ways as she has been IN stealthy and

General will include in Section Isl a
provision that students pursuing an
engineering course in an approved

ulty, enlist in the Enlisted Reserve
Corps Of the Engineers Department,
Thereafter upon presentation by the
registrant of his local board Of GER
tifcate Of enlistment, such certificate
shall be filed with the QUESTIONABLE,
and the registrant shall be placed in
Glass v on the ground that he is in

ed only to students who are given a
certificate by the head of the institu-
ton to the effect that the student is
deserving place in the first third
qualitively Of the young men gradu-
ating from the institution during the
past ten years. This precludcs the pos
sibility Of men entering the engineer
ing courses merely for the sake Of be-
coming exempt from the draft.

yet been received, but it is safe to
assert that there will be great change
