While John w. Brawner, of Colum
oia Country Club, fought 1t out for
first honors in the fifth annual invi.
tation golf tournament of the Wash
ington Golf and Country Club. home
golfers made a general cleanup in the
conclusion OF play yesterday, and are
heartily gratified at the showing
made.
To be sure there were several re-
versals of form during the days play.
rain-soaked course led all of the
golfers to underestimate the speed
of the greens to a great extent, which
accounted for the uniform poor put
ting demonstrated during the day.
Brawner was Steadier.
1t was steadiness on the greens
which enabled John w. Brawner to
defeat Tom Dempsey, the Georgetown
University lad, in the final of the
first flight.
As is the case in general in final
matches in the District of late years
both finalists displayed some medi-
ocre golf. Flashes of unusual bril-
liancy were offset by poor judgment
in instances. The small gallery fol-
lowing the first flight final was
treated to a rare display of golf at
times and found consolation despite
the wet going and rainy drizzle.
Used Good Judgment.
Brawner was not only steadier than
Dempsey, but used better judgment,
and, conceding a longer ball off the
tee, was content to keep his drives
in the fairway with consistency,
which he followed up on the greens.
The cards follow:

Big Cain Of Time
Had He Taken His
Friends Advice
Chas. E.. KrOb's Nerv-WOrth
Experience Was an Effec-
tive Doubt Killer.

Skepticism regarding Nerv-Worth' s
power to overcome ills Of nervous
origin has cost many a sufferer many
a month of discomfort and loss Of
working power. Chas. E. Krob, the
engraving and designing expert of Co
lumbus. Ohio, gives striking example
of this in his endorsement of the tonic,
which follows. Mr.. Krob's ill-health
began three years ago. When advised
by friends to try Wentworth he was
skeptical. To show that his doubts
were unfounded he says:
Three years ago | had a nervous
breakdown, and had six different doc
tors in the two years. My weight
went from $50 down to 100 pounds.
Some Of the doctors gave me no hope.
They doped me with strong narcotics
which left me in more nervous state
after the drugs had lost their effects
Nine months ago tried my
first bottle of Wentworth. Since then
have taken three bottles and am on
my fourth. must say sleep well,
eat anything | crave. and my weight
has gone up to 1853 pounds. l heartily
recommend Wentworth to anyone
suffering with nervous indigestion and
all nervous troubles.

Johnson Inspired and Inspiring

Henry u johnson in his remarkable extern
poraneous address at the banquet given in honor
of Carl Alderman, reached heights to which he
never could have aspired for he spoke with the
words of inspiration.
The words are gone. The best reporter can
only remember a fragment here, striking SEN
tence there. But the message, the inspired mes
sage of realization of the common danger and the
wonderful appeal to meet it courageously and to
conquer it or die, that will live in the memory OF
his hearers as long as life lasts.

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 it 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
simple remedy has never been known
to fail-Adv.

Alderman S Mission

Fifty years hence history will record that the
determination Of the American people to win this
war for democracy was deeply strengthened by
the visit and tour of the illustrious French and
British commissions. Then history will go on to
say, "but that determination was steeled to drive
autocracy from the earth more than by any other
one thing by Carl Ackermans revelations of the
soul-destroying power and tactics of the Prussian
autocracy."
This statement is not far-fetched. It is not
emotionalism run riot. Alderman is powerfully
helping to make history by his articles and his
addresses. He is making clear to Americans
what hellish nightmare Prussian or any auto
cracy is. He is proving that this maddened or
ganization of hate and conquest and terrorism
