The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. 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
dissolve and entirely destroy every
singll 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 in
stantly, 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. It is inexpensive, and four
ounces is ali you will need. This sim
pie remedy has never been known to
fail-Adv.

''My life is spent in a whirl of ex-
citement from morning until night.
You simply cannot imagine what it is
like. Last week one regiment left
here at 8 o'clock in the morning, and
our maid was i'll with pleurisy. The

than the majority yet realize, and 1t
has all been done SO swiftly, in the

Underwood knows what will affect
