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 1t entire
~. 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 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 It, 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
hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. 1t is inexpensive.
and four ounces is all you will
need. This simple remedy has
never been known to fail. adv.

RADICAL
STEP IS
PLANNED
Especial to The Times.)

OLYMPIA, Jan. 23.-Turn all
the great water power resources
of the state of Washington over
to the people to own and operate
for the best use of the communi-
ties in which they live!
Condemn all the advantageous
water sites in the state-whether
privately owned or otherwise
for public use.
1t took the wind out of some
of the senator's sails yesterday
when this proposition was flung
into the ring in the form of O bill
introduced by six of the leading
insurgents" representing Seattle.
Tacoma and Spokane.
Five Join i'm Bill.
1t is probably the most radical
and far-reaching piece of lcgisla-
ton that will come before the 18th
legislature.
The bill was prepared by Sena-
tor Nichols of King county and
sponsored by Landon of King,
Johnson and Phipps of Spokane;
Fairehild and Davis of Pierce.
In the measure the beneficial
use of water for irrigation, min
ing, manufacturing, domestic and
general industrial purposes is de-
clared to be for public use.
Up to Voters.
Turning the entire water re-
sources of the state over TO the
people. it creates a water utility
municipality municipal cor
poration-taking in the whole east
of the summit of the Cascades, as
well, and King and Pierce coun-
ties.
1t puts the proposition up to
the vote of the people at the gen.
eral election in 1918.
The powers of the water mu-
nieipality, the bill provides, would
be administered through a water
utilities commission of FIVE men,
bers to be elected by the people.

DON'T SUFFER

Musterole Gives Comfort

When those sharp pains go shoot.
Ing through your head, when your
skull seems as if it would split,
just rub little Musterole on the
temples and neck. 1t draws out
the inflammation, soothes away the
pain-usually giving quick relief.
Musterole is a clean, white oint-
ment, made with oil of mustard.
Better than a mustard plaster and
does not blister!
Many doctors and nurses frankly
recommend Musterole for sore
throat, bronchitis, Group, stiff neck,
asthma, neuralgia, congestion, pleur-
isy,rheumatism, lumbago, pains and
aches of the back or joints, sprains,
sore muscles, bruises, chilblains,

DISGUSTED SISTERS.
Alt is a sad state OF affairs
when parents prove themselves as
incapable AS have yours, and you
can't expect much of your sister.
You should not hesitate to make
it very plain to your parents and
the young man as well that you
will not earn his bread and butter
for him. You would really be do
ing your sister a kindness to re-
port the case to the juvenile judge.

Q.-How did the question,
SHOULD the United States
seize and annex Mexico"
arise?
What would the results be,
most likely if the United
States should attempt such
thing? Nj. B. M.
A.-The seizure and annexation
of Mexico by the United States was
never discussed in official circles.
The talk was instigated largely by
mine owners, oil maGnates aud
other "big interests" in Mexico
who would benefit greatly by the
annexation.
1t is unreasonable even to sup
pose that the United States gov
eminent would attempt 90 annex
Mexico because il would be in di-
rect violation of its policy for
years. You should study the Mon
roe doctrine and you would soon
discover why, even though the L.
S. should like to, il would not
seize Mexico.

me from where and about

honeymoon or g n a t e d?
Thank you. A READER.
A.-The custom of the honey
moon originated among the Teu-
tons. The significance of it is that
a newly married couple drank
meihegen or mead, u wine made
from honey for 80 days after mar
riage. The word "hOneymoon" Is
coined from the fact that the
newlyweds partook of the honey
wine for one moon, or lunar
month.

equal parts of good cider vinegar

make it the desired thickness;

sembles apple butter rather closely.

Dear Sir:-
On behalf of Governor Gunter

Governors order. Respectfully yours

northern states Is 100 In other wordi
there is an exccgs levy on the nortl

Music Ianauane Of Soul.

The meaning of music goes deep. 1t
Is the universal language of the soul.
Where speech fails, song is only be-
ginning. Music can make mems hearts
as steel in the face of battle, when
thousands are to be stricken down
and trampled into the earth, or 1t can
melt these same hearts to tender love
and make them tremble at a sweet
hearts whisper. Music can cleanse
the soul for worship, or it can de-
prave for the vilest orgies. II uplifts,
and it debases; 1t inspires to the high,
the sweet, the true, and it deadens to
the gross and low, the vicious and the
heartless. Freedom and love and tdel-
ity and praise-words that illumine all
language-would be meaningless and
dead but for the spirit instilled into
them by song.-Exchange.

Card to The Public.

Ii you are anxious about the mat
ter what are you yourself saying OF
doing? Some of us at least are anx-
ious about the forthcoming character
Of our young manhood and woman
hood Out from our human soil we
must expect to grow more or less Of
what we sow. We should not expect
to produce miscrealts and thieves
without immortal seed. You know
that for soil production VIC must furn-
ish with the soil, seed, atmosphere
and moisture. We do it, and we reap
what we SOW.
1t is with sorrow that the Court
sends any young person to a reform
atory institution, but conditions and
environments compel Is it not pos
sible that some Of our moral atmos-
phere is quite impure? ? Do we say
and act in the presence of our young
people as though white lies, cheating
legitimately, slander, libel, domino
ering and Czarism are things to be
tolerated. Or are the fathers of
sterling character with their cons, and
the mothers virtuous and pure in the
estimation of their daughters? Who
is it sowing the seed of distrust, mis-
chief, purloining and impurity.
Can not the public sec that the court
can do little toward the cleansing of
young society without the dcfirate
help Of controlling virtuoua in
fluence. Why insist on branding
young lives with infamy if we our
selves in heart and license put out on
the community an atmosphere OF
mental and moral poison? If we are
untouched by a sense Of the need
Of the hour concerning the future
Of our young people may VIC get such
a stroke in some way as to bring us
face to face with the seriousness of
this vital matter.
Respectfully,
