( DANDRUFF SURELY
: DESTROYS THE HAIR

= * !: !; = x x x * X * x x x x
Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn Il do much GOOD to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
wav to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this; get about four ounces of or
dinary 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 sentirely destroy every sin
gle sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
four ounces is all you will need, no
matter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails.

30, but surpassed the earnings during
the fiscal year ending June 80 1916"
In analyzing the income of the road
the report shows that freight traffic
was the main source Of increased rev.
enues, various causes resulting in de-
creased passenger revenues.

lines of earnings in excess Of 81 ,000,-

the Improvement of loading and hauling
methods made possible the handling of
49.45 per cent greater ton mileage than
in 1915.

the Adamson law and its effect. the esti.
mate is made that the law will increase
the pay rolls of the Southern Pacific

Gerard Lays Bare
Scheme Of Germans

Boston, April l9-To show the
"deep hatred" which he asserted
Germany has held against the u. s.,
Former Ambassador Jas. w. Gerard
tonight disclosed facts which he said
had been kept from the American
people during the past two and half
years. He was the principal speaker
at national defense dinner given
by the Pilgrim Publicity association.
Mr.. Gerard said that Admiral Won
Tirpitz, in thinly veiled statements
and the German reichstag and Prus-
sian parliament in open discussions
proposed the institution of unrestrict-
ed submarine warfare against Eng
land with the intention "when Eng
land should have been subdued by
hunger to come over to the United
States and collect the price of the war
from us.'
CT want to tell you, Mr.. Gerard
added, "that if we had not gone into
this war, Germany would have full
filled its intention to come over after
wards and attack us and would have
done so almost with the applause of
the rest of the world. | can tell you
also that everything consistent with
honor was done to keep us out of the
war. Beyond that, ! am sure, none
would have us 60"
" The former ambassador expressed his
belief that citizens of German descent
would prove loyal, but he added, "if
they do not stand with us, l think we
know where to festoon them.
Major General Wood said that
'those who are opposing the presi-
dents policy of universal, obligatory
military service will be responsible for
thousands of lives if their arguments
prevail. "

President Stands pnt

President Stands Pat
Washington, April 19.-The admins
tration is determined that politics shall
not defeat the conscription army bill,
which army men say is absolutely vi
tai to the safety of the nation.
The president win stand for no com.
promise. He favors the Chamberlain
bill, which provides selective draft
without modification and win fight for
the passage of that measure.
1t is his purpose to get the bill
through the senate, then put the issue
squarely before the house 1t appears
inevitable now that the bill will be
thrown into conference before final ac
tion is taken on it. The house will vote
on its bill, which includes q volunteer
feature next Monday. BY the terms of
this measure, the president would be
authorized to call for five hundred
thousand volunteers and if that fails
to resort to selective drafting: or il
the president desired-he could put the
draft system into effect Immediately
and issue no call for volunteers. This
plan shifts the whole responsibility
for any conscription onto the president.
The senate may reach a vote on its
bill which is only slightly changed
from the one tho president wants, be
fore tomorrow night, and the admins
tration feels no doubt as to its passage
in the upper house.
May Shake Them Up
While respecting the individual view
points of those who oppose selective
draft, President Wilson is understood
to feel that this is not an opportune
time for prolonged discussion Of de-
tails when it is vitality essential to the
welfare of the nation to raise an army
at once
For that reason it appears likely
there may soon be something in the ma
ture of a blast from the white house
to jar congress into action.
The president is expected to resort
to his usual method of putting up to
the country the question of support on
measures on which he and some mem
bers of congress differ.
