The Easiest Way i5
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. 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 fouT
more applications will completely dis-
solve and entirely destroy. every single
sign and trace of it. no matter how mucll
dandruf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly.
and your hair will be fluffy lustroust
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.

A LONE RANGE
OUTLAW TAKEN
"WiId and Woody Bandit" Captured
by the Police Yesterday
Evening in West
keokuk.

James Ashley, alias "the lone
range outlaw" was taken without
much ado last night. despite the
! threats previously made by the self
confessed ba2dit He was taken to
the police station upon information
filed stating that he carried conceal
ed weapons This morning two more
charges were filed against him. One
was that of grand larceny and the
other that of threatening to commit
a public offense.
Ashley came here last September,
deserter from Camp Dodge, and
was arrested and returned by AS
sistant Chief Pearson. He returned
in December, claiming that he had
discharge and behaved in very
becoming manner until about week
ago when he secured a young cannon
measuring about so or "a and began
his career as lone range outlaw.
He terrorized the residents of the
canning factory neighborhood for
several days until warrant was
| sworn out for his arrest. Ohcers
John Griffey and Barney Conn Went
out last night to tree the bandit and
bring him to justice. They found
him talking to girl on a doorstep
in the vicinity Of the canning fac
tory and lowering their umbrellas tc
hide their caps and uniforms they
marched straight ahead until oppo
site the bandit" when they nabbed
him and brought him to the station
He was quickly relieved OF his
artillery which was strapped to his
leg and this morning Richard Nc
Laughlin appeared and filed charges
accusing him of stealing hog. The
OUTLAW was bound over to the
: grand jury under $500 bonds on the
! charge of grand larceny.
The clone range outlaw" is about
eighteen years of age and 1t Is
| thought that he has fed himself on
dime novels exclusively until he Is
ready and able to believe anything OF
| himself.

This is particularly necessary When
the finished articles are left at the

When kniters cannot come TO the

written requests for wool at the
desk. There will not be instruction

quest. and the hours on Saturday
are changed from $3.50 to 500 p, m.

It IS also requested that no color
is put in the toe or heel. Remember
the use Of white in this part of the
sock has a special reason. blister
is apt to be formed on the heel and
the use of white helps prevent blood
poisoning. Experienced knitters, II
they prefer doing so, can run their
toes and heels to lengthen the use

EMBARGO PUT
ON CHICKENS
Local Poultry House Learns That
Fowls Cannot Be Purchased
Except for Laying
Purposes.

Word has been received here from
the United States food administra-
ton, by Swift & Co., that there has
been an embargo placed on the pur-
chase of live fowls, except for laying
purposes until April 80. The local
food administration has not yet been
advised of such an order, but may
receive his copy at any time.
1t is believed that the order is
made for the purpose of conserving
poultry for domestic use. There has
been an extensive run on chickens
ever since the meatless days went
into effect.
The following is from Washington
about the order:
WASHINGTON, Feb. '12.-Trading
in live or freshly killed hens and
pullets anywhere in the United States
is forbidden in an order announced
yesterday by the United States food
administration. February % is fixed
as the date when fresh stock must
be disposed of, and adds that addi-
tional stocks may not be purchased.
By restricting the killing of chick
ems which should be heavy layers, the
food administration hopes<to increase
the production of eggs and allow
them to be put in storage at reason
able price.
The new order was issued several
| days ago and had been given publ.
city by local food administrators be
| fore the administration announced it.

work, will appear at the Hippodrome
/ theatre Wednesday for a run OF two
days. This play is the most wonderful
creation of it's kind that has ever been
presented on the films. All that Miss
Bara has done only gives a suggestion
/ of the charm and elaborateness or this
great production.
The story IS an historic one, which
many have attempted to write, ana
! it has even been seen upon the stage,
but it remained for the films and MISS
Bara to give to the world the revela-
ton of the character of this wonder
| full woman.
| One Of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the play are the dresses that
Miss Bara wears, which were special
!ly designed by her, after long consul
tation with experts on the period OF
Louis XIV. These dresses are peculiar
however, in one way. They might
easily appear in drawing rooms of to-
! day. Every one of them is study
Of the art of womanly adornment and
! is a thing of beauty in itself
! Miss Bara has discovered and re-
vealed a thousand little details Of the
womanly toilette which will be i'm
mensely interesting to every woman
These secrets are revealed upon the
screen in a most fascinating way, and
make the film additionally attractive
to all whom women charm.
| Although the Hippodrome manage
ment has been put to a great expense
! to produce this, the picture will be
shown at regular prices. Don't miss
acknowledgements.

RAILROAD
CONTROL BILL
Congress in Bitter Fight as to Distri-
button of Financial Burdens
Arising from the
War
by L. c.. Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE rail-
road control bill has again plunged
congress into a bitter fight over fair
distribution Of the wars financial bur-
ldens. Lined up on one side is the de-
termined group of men who last ses-
sion fought for CONSUMPTION of wealth
to pay the tax bills On the other side
stand the same men who so siren
nously opposed wealth consumption.
The issue is whether the railroads
shall be made to bear a fair share Of
! the wars burden, or whether the peo-
| pie must pay the railroads practically
what they demand, under government
control.
Specifically, the battle is over the
| basis upon which the railroads shall
be paid by the government.
| Senator Cummins, Iowa, and his
supporters, insist the roads should
be guaranteed their ordinary divi-
dents plus interest On their debt
This, Cummins says. would cost the
government S75OO00,0OO to S775,000,-
| 900 a year.
Senator Smith, South Carolina, lead
/ ing the opposition, wants the income
computed on three pre-war years
1918. 1916 and 1917. This, Smith es-
Inmates, will cost the government
from s945,0o0,0OO to 1915, 100000 a
year.
The difference to the American peo-
ip1e, between Cummins' plan and
Smiths, as about two hundred million
a year.
! The three-year basis is that suggest
ed by the president. Aenator Smith de-
clares it should be adopted no matter
what it costs.
! 'If we must pour out 100000, 900 a
year to meet the demands of services
! am in favor of pouring it out that
we may get efficient railroad opera
ton"
Cummins is bitterly opposed to set
Ting the question of compensation to
the roads through surrender to them.
He declared today there is no reason
congress should not do what is just
and fair to the railroads and the pub,
lie alike"

USE STANDARD POULTRY
WeILBred

In harmony with this principle the
common classification of breeds ac-
cording to their place in the general
scheme of poultry production divides
| them into three principal classes,
namely, laying breeds, meat breeds,
and general-purpose breeds-that is,
| breeds that are not as ready and
persistent egg producers as the lay
ing breeds, and not as meaty and as
| easy to fatten as the meat breeds.
yet combine in one individual fowl
very good laying capacity with very
good table quality.
| The Leghorn, Minorca, Andalusian,
| Ancona and Campine are well-known
breeds of the laying class; the
| Brahma, Dorking, and Cornish of the
meat class; the Plymouth Rock,
Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, and
Orphington Of the general-purpose
class.
! The breeds mentioned as of the
laying class, with the exception of
the Minorca, are relatively small.
very energetic and lively. mature
early and are easily kept in good
laying condition. The Minorca is of
larger size and modified somewhat in
the other particulars mentioned, yet
has more the character of the laying
class than Of any other.
In the meat breeds there is not the
same uniformity of type that is found
in the laying breeds. The three
mentioned are all quite different. The
Brahma is most popular because 1t is
at the same time the largest and the
most rugged in constitution. me
! Dorking exceis in quality OF meat out
| is generally considered somewhat
lacking in hardness. The Cornish IS
rather hard-meated, but being very
| short-feathered has its special place
as a large meat-producing fowl IN
southerly sections where the more
| heavily feathered Brahma does not
stand the summers well.
! Among the popular breeds OF the
lgeneral-purpose class there are also
i differences in type, adapting oreeds
to different uses. The Plymouth Rock
| is generally regarded as the type
meeting the widest range OF require
/ ments in the general-purpose class
The Wyandotte is a little smaller
and earlier maturing, but still very
well meated and easy to fatten.
The Rhode Island Red has nearly
the same standards of weight as the
Wyandotte, but is a more active pro-
not putting on fat so readily: conse'
uuently it approaches the laying type
and is popular with those VINO want
eggs and meat, but want eggs most.
: The Orphington is at the other ex'
IRENE in the general-purpose Grass
being a heavier, meatier fowl than
the Plymouth Rock.
Such list of breeds affords SO
wide a range of choice that poultry
keepers can always select a standard
breed better adapted to their locality
and their purpose than any non
standard stock they can procure, and
having the further advantage OF re
producing true to type.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-02-12
Standard poultry, as the phrase is

Standard poultry, as the phrase is
commonly used in America. is poultry
bred to the standards established by
the American Poultry association.
The object of making standards for
poultry is the same as the OBJECT or
making standards of weight, volume,
OF quality for any product or COM
modify; that is, to secure uniformity
and establish series OF grades as
a basis of trading in the article.
In making standards for poultry
which apply in the process OF pro-
,duction the principal points consld-
cred are size, shape and color.
Size and shape are breed charac-
tiers and largely determine the prac-
teal values of poultry. Many stand
ard breeds are divided into varieties
differing in color but Identical in
every other respect.
Color is not primary utility point,
but as secondary point often comes
in for special consideration. For
example, a white variety and black
variety of the same breed are
actually identical In table quality,
but because black birds do not dress
for the market as clean and nice
looking as white ones, it often hap
pens that they are not as salable.
When a flock of fowls is kept for
egg production only, uniformity in
color is much less important than
approximate uniformity Of size and
type, yet the more attractive appear
ance of a flock of birds of the same
color justifies selection for color as
far as it can be followed without sac
rifcing any material point
When poultry keeper grows his
own stock year after year he ought
by all means to use stock of Well
established popular standard breed.
By doing so and by selecting as
breeders only as many OF the best
specimens of the flock as are needed
to produce the chickens reared each
year, a poultry keeper maintains In
his flock highly desirable uniform
ity of excellence in every practical
quality and with little extra care and
no extra cost can have pleasing
uniformity in color.
To the novice in poultry keeping
it often appears that there is no real
necessity for so many breeds and
varieties as have been standardized
in America. Further acquaintance
with them, however, shows that al
though color differences are in most
cases made merely to please the eyes
Of persons having different prefer
ences for color, the differences in
shape and size which make breed
character have been developed with a
view to adapting each to particular
uses or particular conditions.
Leaving out of consideration the
breeds kept as novelties, most of
which originated before industrial
progress created large demand for
poultry products, all the standard
American breeds of fowls have been
made and developed on the general
principle of practical quality, the
foundation of breed. character and
value.
