Sure Way to Get
Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To 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
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 Itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, 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
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been
known to fail.-Adv.

GOVERNOR ASKS
M'ADOO TO LIFT

Embargo Has Placed Pro.
ducers at Mercy of Grain
Spectators" Says Gov.
ernor in Telegram.
From a Staff Correspondent.


Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 24.-Protest-
ing to w. G. McAdoo, director gen.
eral of railroads, against the EN-
barge on grain shipments, with par
ticular reference to the Omaha mar
! ket, Governor Keith Neville de-
clares that Nebraska producers are
at the mercy of grain spectators.
The governor asks that the en-
barge be lifted in order that tenn
porary relief may be had in Ne
braska. His telegram to Director
General McAdoo and Herbert C..
Hoover, food administrator, is as
follows:
"Oct. %, 1918. As result of the
embargo recently placed upon grain
shipments to primary markets, the
price of No. 3 yellow corn in Oma-
ha has fallen off S. cents per bushel
in 81 days.
"As an indirect result of the en-
barge, the price of hogs has fallen
off until the pledge of the food ad.
ministration, that the relative price
OF hogs and corn would be main
tanned at the ratio of IS to |, cannot
be fulfilled. Hogs marketed at the
present prices will be in the ratio
OF approximately 9 to to the corn
fed. A correct price for hogs can
not be determined by using basis
corn value of the month in which
the hog is marketed.
Hampers Feeders.
"This embargo has eliminated a
free market for independent eleva-
tors. 1t has placed our producers
at the mercy of grain spectators.
With an estimated shortage of ap-
rroximately sO0,0O0,000 bushels,
the price of corn in Chicago on
October |, 1918, was 81 cents per
bushel less than the price Of corn
on October /, 1917, in that city.
"The injustice worked upon Ne
braska stock feeders last winter be-
cause of the fact that after being en-
ccuraged to increase beef produc-
tion, no market for heavy beef was
created; the injustice of the origin
al order of the food administration
affecting the grading of potatoes;
the most serious situation that now
confronts the farmers of Nebraska
because of the embargo on grain
shipments leads to the conclusion
that the Federal Food administra-
tion is not fully informed as to con-
ditions in the middle west.
Il believe that the present supply
of cars warrants that temporary re-
lief be provided through the lifting
of the embargo; that if the embargo
should again become necessary, the
price of corn should be stabilized
and that the price of hogs should
be stabilized in accordance with the
promise made by the Federal Food
administration on November 3,
1917"
