Comb.ng Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

The only sure way TO get rid Of dandrun
is to dissolve It, then you destroy It en-
tirely. 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.
Do this tonight. ana by morning, most
n 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 dandruf you may have.
You via find. too, that all itching and
digging OF the scalp win stop at once, and
your hair will be FUZZY, lustrous, glossy,
silky aud soft, and look and feel a hun
dred times better.
You can get liauid arvon at any drug

Rabbit Fricassee.-A young rabbit is
the only kind to use for such dish.
After carefully dressing 1t cut it up
in serving-sized pieces or into quar-
tiers and eighths. Roll in highly sea-
soned flour and brown in little hot
chicken fat, then simmer until tender
and when nearly cooked add cream or
rich milk. Cook until nice gravy is
formed, then serve hot with mashed
potatoes.
Rabbit With Carrots.-Prepare the
rabbit as for a fricassee, and when
Drowned add a quart or less of finely

meats making palatable dishes.
Cheese is a food which should be
more commonly used. 1t is highly
nutritious, very concentrated and with
no waste. Compared to many of our
high-priced meats it is economical and
a pound of cheese equals two pounds
of meat as to food value.
cornmeai Muffins.-Sift together
three times one and a half cupfuls of
flour, three tablespoonfuls of sugar,
one and half tablespoonfuls of corn
meal, half teaspoonful of salt, three
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, then
add three-fourths of a cupful of milk,

ses, one-fourth of a cupful of sugar,
one tablespoonful of shortening, one
quart of milk and salt to taste. Pour
into a buttered dish and bake two
hours. Serve hot with cream.
Fig and Nut Pudding.-Stir a half
teaspoonful of salt into two cupfuls
of boiling water, add a half cupful of
sugar and stir In enough graham flour
to make mush. Cook a half hour,
then add half cupful of chopped figs
and few finely chopped Brazil nuts.
Serve with whipped cream. This is
an emergency pudding which will be
good enough to try again. Raisins or

other nuts may be used If desired.

The German socialists have not taken
kindly to the German governments
attitude toward President Wilson's
last peace message. During the de-
bate in the reichstag on Won Hertlings
speech Philip Scheidemann, socialist,
took the emperor to task for his reply
to the address of the burgomaster OF
Hamburg, in which the emperor said:
"We desire to live in friendship with
neighboring peoples, but victory for
the German arms must first be rec
ognized."
1.-The imperial chancellor frankly
stated yesterday that he accepted
President Wilson's four principles"
said Scheidemann. This declaration
is all the more important when one
considers that President Wilson en-
phasized that his principles were ac-
oepted everywhere except by the Ger
man military and annexationist party.
Well, this party, fortunately. is in this
country no longer Of decisive impor
tance."
