Physically Bankrupt.

The Young Mems Christian associa.
ton in its thrift campaign is endeav-
oring to bring out the idea that a
man may not only become bankrupt
so far as money is concerned. but
also morally and physically bankrupt
as the following statement will show:

time to time wait the see the warden

Financial bankruptcy must be a
very serious and distressing expert
ence. 1t cannot fail to leave a blot
on the escutcheon of a mans credit or
financial reputation. But many men
who have become thus financially
embarrassed, because OF thriftless-
ness, or perhaps of trade conditions
beyond their control, later have been
able to recover.
There is, however, this other form
Of bankruptcy which may, and usually
does, include finances, but is yet
much more serious and extensive In
It's nature. It is the bankruptcy Of
life. There are many such bankrupts
in every community, but 1t Is at the

masses. Here are gathered the men
who have completely failed in life's
greatest business. Their bankruptcy
is a moral one. Their number does
not include those in the institutions
who are mentally subnormal, and
there are many such, because these

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it
at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
if not all of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy.
ter how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.

PETROVA THRILLS
 AT FOX'S THEATER

Tho big six-part production, "The Soul of . Masdalen,'' featuring Olga Petrova. one of the greatest emotional actresses of the day. proved to be a revelation to the Fox audiences yes- terday. Although preserving ell the unity of plot required by dramatic law the construction of the piece is unique in every way. There are two distinct crises, either of which would have been sufficient for an ordinary play. The first is presented when the moth CT of Heloise Broullette arrives unan- nounced at the apartments of the un- scrupulous Norton, and discovers the
 means by which her daughter had ob- tained the Inuch-needed money to
 nurse Mrs. Broulette back to partial
 health. Madame Petrova's work in
 this scene was . disappointment to
 some, who expected the ''hair-tearing'
 species of expression. But she showed
 herself the true artist by avoiding
 cheap, melodramatic actions, and giv-
 ing the most perfect an example of
 suppressed emotion that has ever been
 seen on the screen. This Is the first time that such a thing has been suo- cessfully attempted in motion pic lures, as the unspoken drama relies so much upon physical gestures and facial oohtortions, that the quieter and moro forceful style was hitherto thought an impossibility.
