Simple Way To
 End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), 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 dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel hundred times better,

in the city between Is and 46 who 10
able to handle a gun has already left
to fight back the Teutonic hordes.
Practically all women and children

weeping and insisting their right to

Venice's majestic lagoons and canals
were all but deserted. her great PAL

been snatched.
The pigeons in the piAxxas were
hungry and neglected for the first

Charge of Deliberate Block
ing of Governments Pro-
gram Made by President
of the Seamen's Union.

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov 20-That the Lake
Carriers association and the steel trust
are deliberately blocking Americas
shipbuilding plan, was charged at the
American Federation of Labor conven-
tion here today by President Andrew
Furuseth Of the seamen's union.
Labor has done its part" said Furu-
seth. ''The government has done it's
part; and all the ship owners but the
lake carriers, have done theirs. But,
by refusing to become a part to the
west coast agreement between these
three factories, the lake carriers, con-
trolled by the steel trust, are blocking
progress of the governments win-the-
war shipbuilding program"
THE "sLAckERs' HAVEN"
Characterizing the domain Of the
lake shippers as "the slackers' haven"
Furuseth declared that the lake ship
pers refused to establish the coast
agreement conditions that would In
sure sufficient trained men to build
and operate the nations emergency

The lakes are the great training
schools for shipbuilding artisans and
sailors" said Furuseth. "In the coast

ing conditions by the coast ship own
ers and the government, to bring back
to the sea those thousands of Ameri-
cans who were driven away from it by
the unbearable conditions.
Everyone agreed to this plan but
the lake shippers. Without their con-
currence we cannot get these men to
come back"
EXPLAINED POSITION.
Furuseth made his charge in con-
nection with the proposed vote Of the
federation indorsing the war agree
ments entered into on behalf Of labor
by the federations executive council
He did not oppose the vote but said
he merely wanted this situation ex-
planned in the record"
Following Furuseth, Gus Brown, of
the sailors union warned that n great
sea disaster impends for America" !"
unless skilled sailors are kept on trans
ports"
Il could name forty ships" said
Brown, whose skilled crews have been
replaced by naval reserves who never
had been to sea. They are manning
