HOW TO Be RID OF
DISGUSTING DAlVDRUFF

The only way to be permanently rid
Of disgusting, unttdy dandruff is to
CORRECT its cause. Shampooing merely
cleahses the scalp for a few days, then
the scales form again as thick as ever.
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid OF dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply q little OF the genuine
Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp, and rub IL In with the finger
tips for d few minutes until absorbed
by the scalp. You will surely be
amazed at the result of even one APP
plieation. for your hair and seal will
hook and feel 100 per cent better.
Only a few days massage with Pari-
sian Sage are needed to destroy the
germs that cause the dandruff to form.
The scalp becomes healthy, the hair
will grow better and show more life
and vitality, and you need never be
troubled by dandruff again. Faded.

There is a great number Of women In
Washington who have to face the prob

bureau believes is report to Congress
would be incomplete without statistics
on what these girls and women pay
for the necessities Of life.

BY a singular twist. several of the
women agents who are gathering statis-

fore furnish information about the cost
Of living to them. More than half the
agents are unmarried, They will be re-
quired to oil out schedules showing
how much rent they pay, what II costs
them to prepare their breakfasts in
their own rooms. and what other meals
cost them. They will not be asked to
state now much they save by accepting

All Of the employees Of the entire De

already nnanifestsd great interest In the

The agents gathering the statistics
continued working in the northeast and
southeast sections Of the city today. II
was announced at the bureau that the
southwest section would be the next
division visited by the agents.
While the results thus far obtained
have been gratifying. the agents have
been hampered by lack of ability on the
part Of housewives to give accurate n
formation on annual expenditures for
specific items. such as food, clothing
fuel, and light Each agent Is turning
