Washing Won't Rid
Head Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff 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
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 mat
ter how much dandruff you may have.
You viii find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, 1ustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
q hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is Inexpensive and never faila

The "FOurtIl Meal"
"A Program for the Woman Who Has
Pledged Herself to Thrift.
1. Simplify your Food Habits.-Eat
only three meals a day. Do not eat
or serve food between meals. Serve
very simple meals. Three courses at
most. One dish meals are practical
Eat only what you need to keep you
we'll and efficient
2. Select your Food Wisely.-Learn
to know the needs of each member of
your family. Plan your meals to meet
these needs. Let your needs and not
your whims govern your food habits.
Food selection is a science. Study it.
8. Buy Food Thoughtfully.-Learn
first what food is needed then buy in
such quantities as may safely be stor-
ed or used without loss Plan ahead
to save delivery. Study the market
and buy the seasonably abundant
foods. Conserve those which are
scarce here or abroad. Make a bud
get and keep accounts.
4. Prepare Your Food With Care
Learn to prepare simple foods we'll.
This means palatable foods with reas-
enable variations in methods of prep
aratiOn.
5. Waste Nc Food.-Watch your gar
bage pail. Serve only in such quanti-
ties as may be eaten. Practice the
gospel Of the clean plate. Use all
left-overs. Waste no food through |
poor or careless cooking or reckless |
handling.
6. Save Surplus Foods for Future
Use.-Even a small daily surplus of
perishable food should be preserved
in some simple way. Preserve, dry,
can or store any large supplies of

But from that point forward it is far
IS positively faulty. The author seems
to let his praiseworthy animosity
against Germany distort his pcrspcc-
tive as historian, with the result
that lie writes too much about Germany
and TOO little about the rest of the
world
He errs, too. in his conception of the
meaning Of "Weltmacht" in Bern
hardi's notorious phrase, "Weltmacht
oder Niederganc." That is patent, be-
cause he practically contradicts HIM
self. and Of course both his views can
not be right. Sometimes he interprets

in the sense in which the United States
and Great Britain arc "word-powers;"
which is, Of course. an entirely proper
ambition. But again he treats it as
meaning "world mas terry" which is a
very different and an intolerably i'm
proper thing. Now, it may be, ana
we rather think it is. that the Germans
themselves have long had the same
difference Of views. Nevertheless
philosophic historian like Professor
Muir would have done better to have
adopted either the one or the other
view, or else to have explained the two
views and the basis for each. However,
serious readers are likely to perceive
these imperfections in the book and to
avoid being misled by them Thus
discreetly employed, the volume will
be a useful addition to European his

narrative of the personal experiences
OF the author, but also in its dcscrip
tlon OF what the term front" SIGNIFIES
IS most instructive, and will doubtless
prove of value and of great interest to
those who have not been cover there. "
Mr. Coyle, though not making any pre-
tence OF being a writer, and this being
ms frst book. has told the story of his
ten months on the firing line of Yer
dun, serving with the French army.
Red Cross division. in most graphic
and realistic way.
T., The majority of people visualize the
'front.' AS a series of trenches. barbed d
wire, foul mud, "cooties" and rats. It
IS that, but also much more. Here we
have explained to us the many branch
ees OF service that are necessary to
form an efficient fighting machine. One
branch of the service that is most
important and most interesting is the
bakery departments:
One can appreciate the size of
some of these army bakeries when
you know that their capacity is $780,
600 loaves of bread day This was
the capacity of the one from which
our bread came, which visited.
When you consider the output of
such bakery you realize that
great number of men are necessary
who don't fire a shot and yet are
vital factor in military organiza-
ton.
The author gives very clear ac-
count of the siege of Verdun, and
though there have been many newspa-
per accounts, none has seemed to be
more adequate than Mr. Coyle's de-
scrption. He has also devoted time
to discussion Of the different uses of
camouf1age, of grenade work, OF the
military balloons, which are called
the eyes of the army and of the spy
system Of the German government.
The author has devoted a little space
to Food Will Win the War" AS he
says:
The great problem of winning this
war rests with the American people,
and if each one does his or her part
that will prove the deciding factor in
defeating the Germans.
