suffered from dyspepsia and con-

that marriage has not wrecked
her life. but awakened her
from the dead. Irene says she
made a special study Of feeble
mindedness. sociology and eu-
genics." She had decided her
life mate must be healthy, in
tellectual, clean OF body and
mind, not given to vice or
drink, ETC." She married a man
whom she thought at the time
filled the bill, and even thought
so for several months after they
were married.
One day she found out her
husband was feeble-minded and
straightway told him Of her dis
covery. / don't want to be hard
on Irene, but l wonder IL she
had followed the advice as to
casting the beam out of your
own eyes, etc." il she would
find the mote in her husbands
makeup.
Many eugenic advocates SEEM
ingly forget the soul and its de-
Xelopment. l wonder IL as much
thought had been given to de-
velopment Of soul as to physi-
cal and mental development
would this cruel war have been?
According to my views, no
matter how physically and men,
tally perfect a man or woman
may be, if they lack soul they
are inferior to a weakling with
a soul. Who has not seen a
gorgeous flower without frag-
rance, passed up for the violet
or prairie rose with its delicate,
refreshing perfume?
I believe If Irene starts soul
development IN herself, instead
of thinking this jolt has wreck
ed her life, she will thank God
from the bottom of her heart
for the work opened up to her.

Dear Miss Grey: I have
been engaged to the same
young lady twice in the last
three years. My position
keeps me on the road a good
deal and l would not see her
but once or twice a month and
at times I would be away for
five and six months at a time.
Both times the engagement was
broken by her on my return
from a long trip, she saying
that her feelings toward me
had changed. Still she wanted
me as a friend and wished to
correspond as before. l was
wondering IL she really ever
cared for me, or was 1t be-
cause I did not see her often
enough? G..

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruf

The only sure way to get rid OF dan
druff is to dissolve 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 gently
with the finger tips
Do this tonight, and by morning, most
II not all, OF your dandruii 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 at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work. (Ak)
