They may be walking around the camp

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys 1t entirely. To do this, just get
about four. ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it 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, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop in
stantly. and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
pie remedy has never been known to
fail.-Adv.

"It is known that the Russian win

Of the internal events in Russia on

months as veritable reserve for the

members Of the German staff, remem-
bering the critical situation in which
they found themselves following the
Anglo-French success in the Somme
In 1916, fear to see their western front

1917
"All the measures they have taken
have been defensive in character in

In the face Of Anglo-French forces.
Not content with declining to give
battle and withdrawing a portion of
their front on the Hindenburg posi-
ton, they have transported to the
western front between January and
April certain number of divisions
drawn from the eastern front
LAS this did not suffice they have
drawn the picked men from each of
their companies on the eastern front,
and with the assistance of the class of
1918 have formed 81 new divisions,

.SHARP BREAKS IN
VALUE OF GRAIN

CHICAGO, Oct 1o.-Sharp breaks
in the value of grain and provisions
resulted today from peace talk and
from uncertainty as to the extent OF
price reductions which might result
from new movements regarding food
control. Pork especially was weak,
and dropped more than $3.50 barrel.
Free selling which characterized the
corn market came chiefly from COM
mission houses. The peace gossip that
acted as a bearish factor related IN
the main to a conference reported to
be held soon in Sofia to consider what
terms the Teutonic allies would offer.
Opening prices which ranged from 4 C
to nc lower at $1.17A to $1.18 Dec.
and $1.13 to $114 May were followed
by important further declines.
Oats gave way with corn. Buyers
were scarce.
Urgent liquidation On the part OF the
leading holders carried down provis-
ions. The market lacked any aggres'
sive support, and prices tumoled rapid
ly as stop-loss orders were uncovered.
Unloading pressure seemed to be chief.

month of June, &c.
This is because the fighting on the
western front, as matter of fact,
practically never ceases. Whether In
the French sectors of Verdun or the
Aisne, or in the English sectors of
Arras and Ypres. fighting is only dis
continued at one point to be taken up
at another. In addition to the big at
tacks quantity of carefully prepared
small actions, which have been crown
ed by success and of which the bull
letins are not able to give a clear
idea, increases the losses of the Ger
mans. .
This constant activity, coinc1ding
with the weakness and inaction of the
Russians, also explains why the Ger
mans are obliged to maintain, and
succeed in effectually maintaining,
three times larger forces on the
French front than on the Russian
front. Qn the beginning of the sum-

since the Korniloff revolt, plotting the
country through a perilous political
crisis. The council of five apparently
carried out Premier Kerensky's pro-
gram in full. 1t succeeded in ending
the Korniloff affair, except for some
agitation on the part of the radical
Councils of wormkenm's and soldiers
delegates. Seemingly it turned the
democratic congress, which was plan
ned originally to overthrow the Ke.
renskq government into a force Of
support.
The newspapers Of the Workmen's
and Soldiers organizations character
lie the agreement Of the congress in
favor OF a coalition with the constitu-
tional democrats through the commit
tee headed by M. TseretelH as User
TELLS surrender" One newspaper de-
clares that the committee was COM
posed Of people whose democracy is
rather suspicious and 1t could be ex-
pected that they would agree to a
coalition in favor of the Bourgeoisie
elements and against democracy"
The first session of the preliminary
parliament which grew out of the
democratic congress, will be called by
the government probably next week.
In the meantime, minister Of public
welfare Kishkin and state controller
Smyrnoff have returned to Moscow to
place the kerensky plan before their
followers for approval.
The new cabinet consists of six So
cialists, four constitutional democrats
snd seven members of other parties

reported, will be sent to Paris to rep
