Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon. apply it at night when retir-
ing 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 ap-
p1ications 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 at
once, and your hair VIII be fluffy,
1ustrous, glossy. silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid aryon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.--Ad-

forty-two other business places, and
he is going TO ask for the arrest of
these men as fast as the city attorney
will issue the warrants.
Restaurant Men Are Included.
Among those for whom warrants
were issued was Joseph T. West, presi-
dent of the Manhattan City and Inter-
urban company, for operating street
cars on Sunday; H. F. Wareham,
manager of the Wareham Ice COM
pany, for delivering ice on Sunday;
Fay N. Seaton, owner OF the Mammal
tan Mercury, for operating linotype;
c. H. TilIotson, carrier for the Star;
A F. Colson. owner of the College Inn,
the most popular restaurant and ice
cream parlor in town, and many 9TH
ers, including confectioners, grocers, a
garage, a filling station, cigar store
butcher shop, jeweler and several res
taurants All of these people were
charged with doing business on sun
day.
Manhattan has always been a
"closed'' town Sunday. But when the
soldiers came to Funston an attempt
was made to open the theaters in both
Manhattan and Junction City, so the
boys would have something to do in
stead of walking the streets, standing
around on the corners and eating ice
cream.
Officers Want Shows.
Col. c. E. Kilbourne, chief of staff,
wrote an open letter to the officials of
both towns, asking them if it wouldn't
be possible to open the theaters for
the benefit of his boys. He stated
that Saturday afternoon and Sunday
was the only opportunity the boys had
during the entire week to go to town,
and that after spending all week in
camp drilling and working hard every
day, they were entitled to a little
amusement when they did have an OPP
portunity to go outside of camp. Both
towns are within an hours ride of
camp and can be reached either by
jitney- or on the interurban.
A meeting was held by the business
men of both towns in Junction City,
following the receipt of Colonel Kill
bourne's letter. The Manhattan
theaters agreed to keep open, but the
sentiment in Junction City was too
strong for the theater men there. So
the following Sunday both Manhattan
theater remained open, charged no
admission, but passed the hat for a
free offering. The city commission
ers Immediately got busy and enacted
the old Kansas state blue laws
passed about 1868, into a city ordi-
nance, forbidding any and all kinds of
work Sunday. This became effective
November II. The following day, Sun
day, Marshall kept his theater open
and his arrest resulted. Marshall was
open again Sunday and probably will
be arrested once more this week.

Not Believed that Socialists viii Make
Official Protest.

Although no one at Socialist Party
headquarters here was willing to make
an authoritative statement as to what
action the leaders of the party would
take along the line of gaining exemption
from military duty for Socialists
throughout the country. there was a
strong impression that no official action
would be taken.
individual Socialists, however. are ex-
pected to file statements with the War
Department, pleading strong moral
scruples against taking up arms, par
ticularly those Socialists who are closely
allied with the anti-war peace propo-

Bills now before Congress provide ex-
emption for members OF religious creeds
which ofacially oppose war, but this pro-
vision is not expected to be stretched TO
