Sure Way TO Get
Rid of Dandruff


There Is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandeuf completely
and that Is to dissolve II. This de-
strcys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces or plalta, ords-
nary liquid arvon; apply II nc night
wien retiring; use enough to moist
en- the scalp and rub 1t in gently with
tie fnger tips.
BY morning, most IL not all OF your
dandrutf will be gone, and three or
four more applications win completes
~ dissolve ana entirely destroy every
single sign and trace OF 1t, no matter
how much dandrum yousmay have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop In
-stantly and your hair will be huffy,
luetrous, glossy. silky and soft, and
look and feel q hundred times better.
You can get LIQUID arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need This

Truck Farming Work At
Bryn Mawr Successful
Affirms Miss Lauder

Miss Frances Lauder, who has
been visiting her parents, Judge and
Mrs. Lauder at Wahpeton the last
four days, is in Fargo today visiting
friends, and speaks with much en-
thusiasm OF the part the Bryn Mawr
college girls have been taking in the
governments conservation program.
Miss Lauder, who leaves soon for
base hospital service in France, spent
a month of her summer vacation
working on the big Bryn Mawr truck
farm Of thirty FIVE acres, which was
worked entirely by twenty-five Of the
college girls. With Miss Lauder as
almost the only exception. all were
Philadelphia girls. Included in the
number was Miss Helen Taft,
daughter of Ex-president Taft.
The truck farm was planned and
the work directed by a professor of
agriculture in the Pennsylvania State
Normal school, but the actual work
was done by the girls themselves.
They are very proud Of the results
and Justly so. They raised potatoes,
corn and small vegetables, and cam
ned over 1000 quarts OF the latter.
They began their truck farm work
early In May, working on ,Saturdays
until the college term closed, and
remaining after that until their crop
was in.
Miss Lauder will leave Wahpeton
about Oct. rs for Philadelphia, where
she joins the base hospital unit OF
nurses aids OF the University Of
Pennsylvania. While the date Of
sailing for France is Of course in
definite, the unit will probably
mobilize about Nov. /. For the last
three months Miss Lauder has been
training for her nurses aid work in
the University OF Pennsylvania hos
pital. Every base hospital, she states,
is supposed to have 100 regular
nurses and twenty-five aids. but ow-
ing to the scarcity OF the latter most
hospitals have only forces OF ten.

Thn Gnrrink-

Madge Kennedy, the most popular
farce comedienne on the American
stage and the heroine OF many nota-
bic comedy successes, makes her
debut in motion pictures in Margaret
Mayo's delightful farce, Baby Mine,
which Is being shown at the Garrick
today, Friday and Saturday.
The acquisition Of Miss Kennedy
for motion pictures was one OF the
notable achievements Of the Goldwyn
Pictures Corporation, which produc-
ed Baby Mine among a number of
big productions. Miss Kennedy was
the fourth Of an array Of stars 20 he
signed by the Goldwyn organization.
No doubt the motion picture pub
lie, no less than Goldwyn, delights IN
the decision of Miss Kennedy TO
turn to the camera. since IL brings to
the screen an actress who has had
an unbroken string Of successes In
Over Night, Little Miss Brown, Fair
and Warmer and Twin Beds. In the
last named. which Is also a Margaret
Mayo farce. the famous comedienne
achieved probably her greatest stage
success.
Miss Kennedy's entry into the mo-
ton picture field brings to the screen
one Of the youngest. freshest and
most delightful Of present-day stage
favorites.

Miss Marie Kaiser, the popular
New York concert soprano, who will
appear here Oct. 1s. 1917 at Stones
auditorium had thrilling war ex-
perience in Europe. At the outbreak
of war Miss Kaiser was studying
abroad and in an effort to get home
after the declaration Of war she was
delayed by military authorities For
passport examination until too late
to reach the American relief ships
upon which so many Americans were
brought home. Miss Kaiser. fundless
and practically. stranded, made ar
rangements to drive by automobile
to the Swiss border and take haven
in beautiful and neutral Switzerland.
All went well until the border was
reached, there she was stopped by
military authorities. After being
held at the border post for three
days, the automobile was confscated
by the government and all OF Miss
Kaiser's money and .valuables were
taken from her ana she was sent
into Switzerland penniless. BY the
aid Of censored marconigTams and
cablegrams sent for Miss Kaiser BY
the United States ambassadors, Miss
Kaiser's plight was made known to
relatives and friends in the good old
u. s. A. and relief was soon on the
way to her.
Miss Kaiser has worked many
times in conjunction with the Great
American Wizard, Thomas A. Edison,
and has madea many scientific ex-
perimentations With her voice.
It is understood that Miss Kaiser
will in some manner attempt the diff
cult feat of singing a duet with her
self Her concert here is looked for
ward to with great interest.

Third Capacity Audiences.
Mrs. w. r. Cushing, who brought
Schumann- Heink and her assisting
artists to Fargo, had good reason TO
be gratified at the splendid re-
Spouse. There have been only three
absolutely capacity audiences at en-
Treatments of any kind involving
admission fee, since the Fargo audi
torium was opened. Tho FIRST was
the opening night, the second was
for John Mccormack, and the third
was last evening for the Echumann-
Heink concert. The New York Sym
phony orchestra audience was al
most but not quite. a capacity one.
Schumann- Heink's manager equals
the star in graciousness, and there
were none of the unpleasantnesses
that sometimes attend the presenta-
ton Of such attractions. Mrs. Cush-
ing has brought Schumann- Heink to
North Dakota several previous oc-
casions. under the same manage
merlt.
Owing to the lateness Of the
notice, few children took advantage
OF the seating arrangements made
for them on the stage. and those
seats were eagerly taken by people
who could not otherwise have secur-
ed admission because Of the capacity
audience elsewhere in the building.
Most Of those on the stage were out

Appreciation Of the opportunity to
hear such artists in this section was

behalf OF the large Fergus Falls
delegation. she stopping at the box
office when the concert was over for

It is not hard to understand the
hold that Madame schumann- Heink
has on American audiences and the
big following that she is able to re-
tain.
1t might be summed up in one
observation-disclosures. She radiates
spirit of genuine consideration for
her audience that gets over the foot
lights and creates q friendly feeling
for the singer. It was evidenced in
the tremendous audience that filed
the auditorium last evening for her
Fargo recital.
There is never any attempt to
spare herself. She gives just as
difficult a program In Fargo or in
the smallest city she visits, as she
does in New York, and she never
fails to give to her work the very
best that she has. There is no
sighting, no letting down. She is
always the artist, and no artist who
respects his art will be satisfied even
with the best that he can give.
The little incident OF turning and
singing one verse of an encore to the
people seated on the stage was but
one indication of her thoughtfulness.
Few artists on the concert stage
are as wholly satisfying to both the
head and heart, as Madame Schu-
mann Heink. Her great, glorious
voice is inspired by the temperament
Of a real artist, and directed always
by a rare intelligence. Her pro-
gram last evening gave her every
opportunity for contrasts. Whether
she was singing the tremendously
moving "Cry of Rachel, or the
simple little German love songs she
sings so well, or the sprightly
French ditty Good Morning Sse" she
satisfied. They were being sung as
they should be sung, and there was
nothing to do but sit back and enjoy
them.
Edward Mcnamara, baritone, was
the assisting artist. Mr.. Mcnamara
has good natural equipment for a
singer, but Ii is surprising that he
should tour with such an artist as
Nine. Schumann- Heink and not learn
more Of song Interpretation than he
knows. His numbers included such
widely cOntrasted selections as the
