A Quicker Victory

The present food problem in nut
she'll is a matter of ships. The allies
now have to be fed in large meas
ure from across seas. There seem
to be several markets from which
they could draw: Australia, the east,
South America, the United States and
Canada.
why, then" complain the unthink-
ing, "ask the people of the United
States and Canada to upset their eat
ing habits of years, to scrimp and
save, if Australia's wharves are loaded
with food stores waiting to be trans
ported to the war-ridden territories"
This is the answer: 1t takes ship
three times as long to carry food from
Australia and twice as long from
South American ports, to say nothing
of added exposure to the dangers of
the submarine. The north Atlantic
lane is both safer and shorter.

Dandruff Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair. do by all
means get rid of dandruff. for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if 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 dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
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 gen.
tly yith the finger tips.
By morning most if not all of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace Of it.
You will find, too. that all itching
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 matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never fails.

were brown on one side. and white on

fish were originally all white. but that,

they had become so soiled that 1t
wouldn't wash off.
This was so ridiculed by The other
man that angrily, he bet any amount
that his theory was correct.
Upon the case being put TO the
angler, he remarked: You are entire

being brown is that the fish have been
swimming so long with their backs
uppermost that they have got sun.
