Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it il you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try
to brush or wash it out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is to
dissolve it, then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; ap-
ply 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 de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of it.
You will find, too, that all Itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair will 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, no mat
| ter how much dandruff you have
This simple remedy never fails.

me of your wishes. and said that
she could now see the justice OF
what you propose.

older man almost before he was
aware of it. WAS that what she
said? What did she mean?"

have said that she had decided that

told me she had done this, and l
forgot the circumstances. Let us
go on into the drawing-room.'
But the ladies were in the library,
and Milton was chatting with them
when the other two men entered.

LIGHT WINE EXEMPT
FROM DRY RIDER,
SAYS SEN. PHELAN

Il have 1t from the highest au-
thority,- said Senator PheIan, today,
that II the prohibition rider Is re-
ported out OF the committee It will
exempt light wines. and thus save
the 81 100000 loss which has threat
ened the California wine-growerG.
my information Is that the Senate
Agricultural Committee has accepted
our contention that the inclusion of
light wines in the 'bone-dry' rider
would not be in the interest of food
conservation, inasmuch as wine
grapes are not suitable as table
grapes and that sugar is not needed
in making these wines"
It Is understood that the assur-
ances to Senator Phelan came direct
from members OF the committee.
The committee Is also said to have
been impressed with the argument
that the Rominger bill is certain to
pass the California legislature. and
thus meet the main objection of the
prohibitionists against the saloon
evil.
