Sure Way to Get
Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
TO remove dandruH completely and that
is to dissolve it This destroys il en-
iirely To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain. 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 morning, most if not all, Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging OF the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair viii be fluffy lustrous
glossy. silky and soft, and look and feel
"A hundred times better
You can, get liquid arvon at any drug

is all you will need. This simple remedy

DIR. kirkus that To the scare occasioncd
by the physicians and officials was due,
not only here but generally, the apparent
virulence Of the attacks "a we'll as to the
number of patients~or to the fact that
the disease became so widespread ms il
did.
The epidemic throughout the country
seems to have generally been propagatcd
through a sense of fear and n lack of
knowledge concerning it. DIR. Kirkus, too,
is quite right in asking, or implying
where but to church should one turn at
such a time? Surely every one TO whom
church is anything more than a name it
stands for protection and safety IF, in
deed, IT does not mean assurance and
comfort Christianity has badly failed to
interpret the mission of the Master, and
we must conclude that the translators Of
the Scriptures must have played scurvey
trick on the Christian world
The fact that the medical men are en-
tirely IN the dark in treating the disease
is shown by the wide divergence of opinion
regarding the treatment Every doctor
seemed to have had a theory One emil
nent physician insisted that soups made
from meats or fowl should be avoided.
Another, many others in fact. prescribed
those very kinds of broths. Still another
doctor blamed the influenza on unfit

parish was in position to speak with

The tree was badly rotted just above

INSIST CORN BE AID
MITTED WITH LOWER RATING

The public utilities commission is
endeavoring to get the railroad ad-
ministration to see the reasonable
ness of its argument that the freight
rate increase on corn should be kept
down and not raised to the level of
the increase on wheat. This is be-
ing done because corn is used ex-
tensively as substitute in Idaho and
is shipped into this state in large
consignments from Nebraska.
The commissioner addressed the
following to Hale Holden, regional
director; F. w. Robson, chairman
of the western traffic committee;
John Barton Payne, general counsel
of the administration, and ]. A..

HEARTENS men
In Very Stirring Speech
Arouses Troops to
Enthusiasm as Ger
mans Start Advance.

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN
France, July lin stirring phrases
imploring them to stand firm, Gen
eral H. J. E. Gouraud, in command
of the French and American, trops
east of Rheims and in Champagne,
appealed to his men before the Ger
man offensive began. In an order
issued to his soldiers, he said:
1--WE may be attacked at any mo-
ment. You all feel that defensive
battle never has been engaged in un-
der more favorable conditions. You
were warned and are on guard with
powerful achievements of infantry
and artillery. You will fight on the
ground you have transformed by
your hard work into redoubtable for
tresses which are invincible If the
passages are properly guarded.
'The bombardment will be terrible
but you will stand it without weak
ening. The assault will be violent,
in clouds Of smoke, dust and gas,
but your position and armament are
formidable.
"In your breasts beat free mems
brave, strong hearts. Nobody will
look behind nor recede pace. Each
of you will have one thought-to
kill, to kill many, until they cry
enough.
"For this reason your general says
you will break this assault and it
will be broken gloriously."

DARKEY SET THE PACE

1t is related that one of the units
on the fighting front in France had
an irrepressible darkey who was al
ways itching to get at the Boches,
and one day when they were restless
in the trench he jumped up on the
parapet and shouted, Com on you
Boches; bring on your sharp-shoot-
ers; bring on your machine guns;
bring on your artillery; bring"
Just then big shell struck in front
of him with an explosion that burst
off many tons of the bank and buried
him so deep that it took his comdares
three minutes to dig him out. When
they pulled him out and got some air
into his lungs, he sat up on the de-
bris, spit out tooth that had been
knocked out of place, and said,
well, fellahs, just got this to say
about this layout ovah heah. A
person sure does git service when
he puts in his order"

SHIP LAUNCHINGS LABOR DAY
MAY EXCEED FOURTH OF JULY

Observation-Disclosures labor
has proposed to the shipping board
that Labor Day this year shall be
made a second fourth of July in the
launching of a record number of
ships to help defeat Germany.
Chairman Hurley Wednesday re-
ferred the proposal of Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American fed
Grafton of labor, who will take up the
question with unions on the Pacific
coast, where the suggestion origin
ated, with a view to making the cele-
bration national il it meets general
approval.
Officials were gratified by the pro-
posal, but they feel as the sugges-
ton had come spontaneously from
the men it should be developed by
them without urging.
There were ninety-five hulls made
ready for launching July 4 ahead of
the time set for their completion.
This addition was the greatest ever
made to any nations tonnage in
single day. 1t Is believed an attempt
will be made to equal or surpass the
record on Labor Day.

AUTO MAKERS FACE DISASTER

WASHINGTON.- curtail-
ment of the so-called lesser essen
tial industries may result from the
enlargement of the war program,
the consequent increasing demand
for steel and existing shortages in
the supply.
War requirements for the last six
months of this year will be approx
mately 10000 tons, the war indus
tries board announced Wednesday.
The greatest output Of a like period
for the steel industry was 1850, 900
tons.
The war industries board called on
the automobile manufacturers to
submit within two weeks sworn in
ventory of steel and steel products
now on hand.
War Industries board members de-
clared that ample warning of the
curtailment had been given, and told
the automobile men that the supply
of the American forces in France was
the first consideration.
Those who face a shutdown from
curtailment Of steel, it was stated,
do so because they found passenger
car contracts more profitable than
war contracts.
When the conference between the
automobile men and the war board
was over it became evident that
plain words had been spoken on both
sides. Some of the conferees said
the discussion had ranged even into
the field Of political effect of the
boards action. Hugh Chalmers, in
discussing the conference said:
"Unless we get sufficient steel to
liquidate our inventory, the entire
automobile industry faces financial
disaster. I told them this. We
konw the government has the power
to enforce any curtailment order,
and that they need to have their
steel requirements met 100 per cent.
But something is owed the industry"

TO DEVELOP
AMERICAN TRADE
Manufacturers Combine
to Send Out Agents
to Push u. S. Goods
Abroad.

NEW YORK-For the first time
in history American manufacturers
have formed a combination to de-
velop foreign trade, according to an
announcement here July 18 by the
allied Industries corporation. For
ty-four mill owners, whose domestic
sales aggregate annually 100000
900, have given the corporation au-
thority, it's statement said, to send
agents to Central and South America,
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Dominican re-
public and the Philippines and the
Straits Settlements, to introduce
their goods.
The combination was effected under
authority of the recently enacted
Webb-Pomerene law, which allows
manufacturers to join forces for the
purpose of opening foreign markets
to American trade.
Has Double Purpose
In addition to pushing American
goods abroad, the corporation as
serted, the plan contemplates re-
ciporcal encouragement of foreign
trade activities here, particularly for
Central and South American pro-
ducts. A permanent exposition, al
ready established in this city, will
exploit American manufactured ar
ticles intended fol. export and foreign
articles seeking import.
Firms so far allied with the cor
poration include markets of textile
goods, heating and lighting systems,
shemicals, leather and rubber arti-
cles, and toys. In their behalf
agents will start late this month for
the regions mentioned, with author
ity to extend long credits to RESPONSE
BILE foreign importers.
The Allied Industries corpration
is headed by Alfred I. du Pont of
Wilmington, who recently purchased
the Grand Central palace, to which
the manufacturers exposition soon
will be transferred.
