SURE WAY TO GET
RID OF DANDRUFF

There Is one sure way that
never fails to remove dandruff
completely. and that Is to dis
solve 1t. This destroys IL en-
tirely. 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 1t in
gently with the. finger tips.
BY morning, most IL not all. of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of II, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all Itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hum
dred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It Is inexpensive, and
four ounces Is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never
been known to fail. adv.

Russian Revolution, the absorption
of the small nations OF Central
Europe, the humiliation of France.
the monopolization of the road to
the East, the disintegration of the
British Common wealth which Is
to arise out of the Empire, the ter
rorizing of the Americas, and a
fastening upon the whole civilized
world of system of aggressive
policies backed by an illiberal col
lectivism and thorough con-
scription of human life. No lea
que of peace could be organized.
and for no great nation would fun
danental democratic reform be
possible. In such a world of ter
rors only the military vitues could
survive.
This is what the President has
seen. and this is what led him to
the fearful choice of war. If the
European struggle we're a war OF
Tweedledee and Tweedledum he
could not have asked for anything
more than an attempt to defend
American rights as best we could.
But after the revolution in Russia
the issue Is explicit, not merely i'm
plicit. There is no longer any
doubt that the present German
government is the keystone of re-
action, that ii is the great obstacle
TO the organization of peace, that 1t
must be resisted and defeated.
The league of peace exists soon
err than any of us dared to hope.
What was a paper plan and a
theoretic vision two years ago Is
today a reality. The liberal peo-
pie of the world are united in a
common cause. To be sure they
have much to do before their own
houses are put in order, and de-
mocracy is by no means secure
among those who proclaim it..
Nevertheless, the nations in which
public opinion really counts are
all engaged and all on the same
side. The cause of the allies is
now Enthusiastically the cause of
liberalism and the hope of an en-
during peace. Democracy is in
fectious-the entrance of the
Russian and American democra-
cies Is sure to be stimulus to
democrats everywhere, and it Is
now as certain as anything hu.
man can be that the war which
started as a clash of empires IN
the Balkans will dissolve into
democratic revolution the world
over. A diplomatic tangle over
backward territories has un'
loosed the peoples at home.

A few drops of this new ether

soon the entire corn, root and all,

Tended by war. Only states
man who will be called great
could have made Americas in
tervention mean so much to the
generous forces of the world,
could have lifted the inevitable
horror of war into deed so full
of meaning. Other men have led
nations to war to increase their
glory, their wealth, their pres
tige. No other statesman has
ever so clearly identified the
glory of his country with the
peace and liberty of the world.
Mr.. Wilson has created an OPP
portunity which is without par
allel. He can mean more to the
happiness of mankind than any
one who ever addressed the world.
Through force of circumstances
and through his own genius he
has made it a practical POSSIBLE
ity that he is to be the first great
statesman to begin the better or
ganization of the world. II Is
task to which he can give him
self without stint or scruple, to
which he can subordinate every
thing else. He can afford to use
himself absolutely for this work
alone.
The business of modelling the
nation he can put into expert
hands, for II would be a waste
IL he permitted himself to be
swallowed up in the multitude Of
details which will confront him.
In the present temper of the
country he need concede nothing
to the party machines. He can
pick his men without respect to
the politicians. He has only to
say publicly that the needs of the
nation demand the best service
available, and public opinion will
deal with attempts by congress or
any special interest TO clutter up
the government and lame it, The
presidents duty is to free himself
from the worries of administrative
routine, so that he may be able
to devote hts entire attention to
the great work Of shaping the
larger outlines of policy.
If that is done there is no need
to fear for the future. Mr.. Will
son is today the most liberal
statesman in high office, and be-
fore long he is likely to be the
most powerful. He represents
the best hope in the whole world
He can go ahead exultantly with
the blessings of men and women
upon him.
