Try This If You
Have 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
enettgh to rnoisten the scalp and rub, it
in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning most, if not all, of your
dandruf 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 itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly
s and your a hair and WIN sn Dc and nd s
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store It is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all YOU will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.

THE GREATEST OPEN SHOP.

New York World: Questions as to
wages and hours are bouNd to be rails
ed in war as IL peace. All such prob
lens, when approached in the right
spirit by both sides, especially unu~-
the stress of war, ought TO be solved
without the interruption of industry.
But there is an issue, impossible OF
arbitration at any time. which even
those best disposed toward labor can
not meet under war conditions, and
that is the closed shop.
When the carpenters raised this
contention as against the governemnt
they made demand not to be recon
ciled with patriotism and not to be
assented to without q grievous curtail-
ment OF ship-building activities. The
closed shop is shut to all but organ
lied labor. In spite Of all that is said
to the contrary, there is not enough

ments OF the present situation To

is to attempt at critical hour to
coerce not the government alone, but
the millions Of unorganized labor as
we'll
Private employers who accept the
closed shop of the trade unions do so
for various reasons. but always with
the guarantee that the supply OF prop
erly accredited skilled labor shall be
unfailing. Under conditions prevail
ing today, the whole man-power Of the
country being IN requisition for serv-
ice of some kind, the ship carpenters
can give no such pledge, and for that
reason the point upon which they have
insisted must be recognized as glar-
ing exhibition OF classism. discredit-
able to them and vexatious to the pub
lie.
So far as this war Is concerned,
there is no closed shop in the United
States. If not in society, If not In
politics, if not in taxation. IL not in
the camps or on shipboard or on the
firing lines. why in industry? There
never was such another outpouring of
democracy for democracy as has
been seen in this country during our
ten months of war. In life and limb

have found common association In
common cause and rejoiced In the
greatest of all open shops.
A democratic militancy which has
beaten down these class barriers will
have little patience with exclusive
persons in any walk of live who would
separate themselves from their fell
lows or shut the door in the face OF
any willing worker. We may be sure
also that triumphant war to end war
will confer more blessings upon all
who toll. now or hereafter, than dis
eliminating rules OF trade unions or
favorins laws by legislative bodies.

RESULTS OF FOOD SAVING.

New York World. There are those
In Great Britain who have doubted
that the people of the United States
would make any food sacrifices on
behalf of their allies in the war. and
thew have made themselves known
bv periodical outcries OF whether the
American people are asleep or only
half awake TO these exigencies of the
situation. And there are those in the
United States and in its congress
who have not only doubted the eff
c;e-cv OF the federal food admins
trztiUn but have ridiouled all its ef-
forts
Both OF these noisy Eocks OF birds
are thrown into flutter by a little
statement OF fact from Sir William
Gco6e Of the British food ministry
He says that early last month Mr..
Hoover cabled that as a result OF the
American food conservation cam
uaiEn he had 151.10o-010 pounds OF
bacon and s5,eo0, GOO pounds OF
frozen meat to send over In excess
of what the British representative
here had thought available; and Ii
later developed that the amount OF
frozen meat available was thousands
OF tons" above the Hoover estimate.

THE SURVEY HABIT.

ST. Louis Times: Every once in a
while the United States goes through
p period of faddisms. One that has
proved costly and that has not given
adequate returns Is that Of having
surveys made of various features of
municipal life. The highly intelligent
and perhaps earnest gentlemen who
made these surveys profit immensely
in coin OF the realm. and no doubt, in
n few cases, leave behind them facts
worthy of consideration IL not nrac-
ticahle of adoption.
One ambitious young western city
OF 6o.oe0 population paid a Boston
surveyor" $500 for a survey that
would afford more parks and let the
local chamber of commerce know
where hctories should be located. II
was some time before the city council
saw the wisdom OF putting up another
81 800 for printing the survey. When
the books were OF the press the lack
OF demand for them was appalling,
but among those who did finally con-
descend to glance over the survey was
enc of who was fairly adept at zig
gering." His discovery was that the
eminent gentleman had provided for
I25 parks at as many points and for
eight bridges across the river, i'm
provements which would necessitate
the destruction OF whole city blocks
OF residences and business houses,
and that the ultimate cost wound ex-
coed $4,000, 600. That was making
city beautiful with vengeance.

ed that as far as facts and deductions
were concerned. the city engineer
drawing upon the other resources of
the city government, could have pre-
pared quite as Informative, if not as
spectacular. a report in his extra
hours without expense TO the people
The moral TO this perhaps is that
the artistic mind is several jumps

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
YOUR PART.

When Nature, at divine command,
Gave out the parts we each must play
In this great symphony of life
Each for his brief and transient day
Though but some little, minor theme
The part which she assigned TO yuu.
twas meant it should be played WITH ca-s.
Each note we'll struck, each tone r1lg cr,Is-
Although the part that you must play
Be simple, yet twas never meant
That, piqued, you should refuse to play
And sulk in bitter discomfort.
The bluebird, with its twitered notes,
AS we'll might say, 81 shall not sing,
Because the thrush, with clearer song.
Makes woodland, hill and meadow ring.
The daisy might refuse to ope
Her petals to the morning light
Because the stately lily's bloom
Is painted with purer white.
The modest violet might say,
MY perfume l shall not exhale:
Beside the odor of the rose
My incense Is but weak and pale.
The leader OF an orchestra
Assigns one man to solo part
To others he gives simpler scores,
Yet all are needful to his art;
For when the solost essays
Some burst which calls forth wonderment,
His brilliant light less grand would be
But for the low accompaniment
Or when prima donna sings,
Her song divine would be less sweet
But that obligato soft
Unnoticed does the air repeat.
The artist paints figure fair,
To grace the center of his scene
But in the background, foil,
He sketches others rude and mean.
The beauty Of the rose Is married
When of its plain leaves it Is stripped;
And sunset clouds the brighter glow
Because with shadows they are tipped
The simplest role in life's great cast
Though small its scope and scant its span
By playwright wise has been designed
AS part OF his perfect plan.
For each awaist his ordained place
Some niche that he made TO it,
IT'S not for us to quiz the plan,
Our duty is to follow st.
1t matters not which place we I'LL
Nor in what costume dressed;
The vital part Is how work,
And that strive to do our beat
