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. ITO do this, just get
about four ounces. of plain, ordi-
nary 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 COM
pletely 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 a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drugstore. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
TO fail.

RHEUMATISM LEAVES
YOU FOREVER
Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are
Dissolved and the Rheumatic
Poison Starts to Leave the System
Within TNenty-f four Hours.

Geo. A. Gorgas, whom you all know,
is authorized to say TO every rheu-

TWO bottles of Allenrhu, the sure
conquerer of rheumatism, does not
stop all agony, reduce swollen joints
and do away with even the slightest
Jwinge of rheumatic pain, he will
gladly return your money without
comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvellous re-
suits have been accomplished in the
most severe cases where the suffering
and agony was intense and piteous
and where the patient was helpless.
Allenrhu relieves at once. Immedi-
ately after you start to take it the
good work begins 1t searches out
the uric acid deposits, dissolves the
secretions and drives rheumatic
poison out of the body through the
kidneys and bowels.
It's marvellous how quickly It acts
Blessed relief often comes in two
days, and even in cases where the suf-
fering is most painful all traces dis
appear in few days.
Mr.. James II. Allen, the discoVerer
of Allenrhu, who for many years suf-
fered the torments of acute rheuma-
tism, desires all sufferers to know
that he does not want a cent of any
ones money unless Allenrhu decisive
ly conquers this worst of all diseases,
and he has instructed Geo. A. Gorgas
to guarantee it in every instance.

Frank Cam, athletic director, New

radical proposal for change in foot
oali scoring. He wants points counted
lor team every time it gets within its
opponents 2o-yard line, more points
when it gets within the 10-yard line
and for the 10-yard and 5-yard zones
ana TO allow the value Of the touch
down to remain the same Here is the
idea in CAMS own words:
whenever a team gets the ball to its
opponents 20-yard line that team scores
regardless Of whether a kick brought
the ball there or not. For instance.
when the ball is kicked and the catcher
which kicked scores This puts a pre-
MUM on good kicker. though there ID
compensation to the other team in that
1t has an opportunity to run the bali
back in proportion to the length Of the
kick before the ends can come down
the field. This system would induce the
customary stone-wall defense that is
evident when a teams goal line Is
threatened before the offensive team
reaches the 20-yard mark"
Not much chance exists for the adop-
ton Of an idea of this character There
is some reason for 1t. but the game Of
foot ball has grown old in the present
system Of scoring. and were scores
made as suggested much Of the tense-
ness that goes with the play would be
done away with Spectators at foot ball
games may recall that when the two
teams are fighting in the middle of the
field there Is a 1axness in their attitude
that is not present when one eleven
drives the other back, way back, into
home territory and causes touchdown
to seem probable.
