DANDRUFF SOON
RUINS THE HAIR

Girls-If you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for 1t will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.

solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this. get about four ounces of
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 mirning. 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 1t.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop. and
your hair will look and feel hun
dred times better You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. 1t Is mex
pensive and four ounces is all you
will need, no matter how much dan
druff you have. This simple remedy
never fails.-Adv.

WORKING OVERTIME

When q man works overtime II Is
because Of some extreme necessity and
usually not because he wants to. Near
~ everyone realizes that working long
hours constantly In time will bring a
physical breakdown. Therefore, every
one with good judgment strives to be
friend to his own body If for no other
reason than that he may be able to
continue to work and make living.
If you were suddenly to find some
means Of working "a hours a day 1855
days year you would probably rush
TO Washington to take out patent on
the system. Have you stopped to think,
however, that there is a way of earn
, Ing money "a hours of the day which
you may be neglecting? The one thing
which will work overtime for you year
In and year out without firing is
money placed at interest. Money sin
boxes and soxes," boarded or hidden
away, Is imprisoned and cannot work.
Moreover. it Is In danger of being lost,
stolen or destroyed by accident.
There are just two ways of putting
such money to work for your benefit.
One is to deposit 1t in a safe bank,
where 1t will earn interest for you and
be subject to your order The other
Is to invest 1t safely. where 1t will
also earn interest for you.
Just now the most desirable invest
ment any one can make is Ia Liberty
Loan bonds. You can buy them in any
amounts from $50 up. They will earn
you Az per cent interest yearly. They
always have ready market and the
security behind them Is the best in the
world. You have never doubted the
safety of United States currency.
which Is simply the promise to pay of
the government. United States gov
eminent Liberty loan bonds are the
promise to pay Of the entire country,
backed by all the wealth Of all the
states and territories, with the addi-
tional feature that they are always
working overtime for you.
If you want true and tried friend
who will never tire, who will work for
you day and night without pay, and
who will turn over his wages to you
every six months, take your idle money
to the bank today and buy United
States Liberty loan Az per cent bonds
with 1t.

Dead Murderer's Hand.

The most CHASTITY Of all. talismans

ter Scott, in "The Antiquary," de-
scribes 1t, in the mouth of Douster-
swivel, as a hand cut off a man hang
ed for murder. 1t was dried, he says,
in the smoke Of juniper and yew. A
candle made of the fat of the bear,
the badger, and little sucking child"
having been put into the hand at the
proper planetary time. treasure buried
then would never be discovered by any
but the true owner. Scott, however,
was inaccurate. The proper recipe rs
to be found In LES Secrets du Petit
Albert" The hand (Which had to be
the right hand Of a murderer hung in
chains) was blanched in the sun with
mystical ceremonies. The candle was
composed mainly Of the fat of a MUIR
derer scooped from under the wayside
gibbet, the wick being made of the
twisted hair of the criminal. The light
Of the horrible candle was alleged to
have the effect of preventing those
who saw It from moving or calling out,
and he who held it could ransack with
impunity.

RAILWAYS ASK LESS TRAVEL
UnIted States-War Con-
dItIons Responsible.

1t Is an unusual order Of things f0i
railroad managers to ask people to
travel less, and yet that is the latest
conservation plan In the United
States. With the assistance of the
government, an active campaign ia
about to be started by leading railroad
executives, with the object of cutting
down passenger traffic. This branch
Of the railroad business passed all
previous records In October, says
Christian Science Monitor. The In.
crease has come, despite higher fares
and 10 per cent reduction of train
mileage, according to the companies
statistics. Only a short time ago the
various railroad managers were com.
peting with one another for both pas
senger and freight business. The great
change Is attributable to the enormous
amount Of business handled, freight
congestion at the terminals, lack of
equipment, and fuel shortage, all Of
which ere due to war conditions.

MAKE BULLETS OF PENNIES
William Allen White Says Loan Gives
Home Stayers Their Work.
BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE,

BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE,
Editor Of Emporla (kan.) Gazette
Back of the German lines every
ounce of food Is conserved and dis
tributed with fairly equitable preci-
sion; every yard Of cloth Is numbered
and entered into the war strength Of
the empire. Every pennyweight Of
German coal Is handled with scientific
care, and the one end and aim Of all
this autocratic control Of food and
clothing and heat Is the winning of
the war. There is no other purpose in
the German mind. Every German mark
Is German soldier; every grain of
gold is doing its full share to work
out that indomitable purpose.
Here In America we must realize
that the war will not be won on any
front, but In our own hearts. This Is
a clash Of civilizations. We must de-
velop In our hearts democratic pur.
pose as strong and as carefully direct
ed as this autocratic purpose of Ger
many.
We, too, must make soldiers Of our
cornstalks, defenders Of our wool, cot
ton and silk. make every pound of coal
an American pound. and we must make
bullets Of our pennies. If we fail to
develop this democratic purpose in the
eye-to-eye, knee-to-knee,. hand-to-hand
struggle on the front, then our civili-
zation will do down. To fail to sup
port our soldiers with ammunition,
food, clothing and coal will weaken
them for the great conflict at the great
moment, and that weakening will
come from our hearts at home. It Will
come II we are slow with our financial
support Of the men.
The Liberty loan furnishes us with
the only way we home-stayers can
practically show our purpose. Our
patriotism will be measured by our
performance toward the Liberty loan.
What we lend to our country in this
time Of need will measure our love of
the freedom our fathers bought. It is
at stake. The autocratic purpose of
Germany, iron-willed and yet unbrok-
en-, aimed at world conquest, Is threat
ening us. What is freedom worth to
you? 1t Is worth what you lend to
your government In this hour Of its
awful need.
