Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff 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 retir-
ing; 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 dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications 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.

u-BOAT LEGEND PERISHES

During the active period of the war tne
legend of the German superman was fostefeo III
various ways: In no way more striking imam py
wonder tales Of U-boats gigantic IN size, mlrac-
ulous in equipment and boundless in potential
ltv. All seas were to be swept and all coasts
ravaged through these diabolic craft. No voy-
age was to be too long for these terrors OF the
underseas. no storm too fierce, no opposing force
sufficiently alert and powerful.
There were believers in these legends OF an
indomitable Frightfulness on the main. we are
forced to confess that also there were those VINO
took the tales with grains of sea-salt. 10 botn
kinds of listeners comes the verdict of British
naval men who received and examined the
U-boats as they were surrendered. The expert
word of John Bulls best sailors is that there
were no marvels in all the German submarine
fleet, save as any boat built SUCCESSFULLY to pro-
ceed beneath the waves partake of marvellous
quality
So the boast and bare of Frightfulness by
sea perish even as the blare ard boast OF
Frightfulness by land. There were Teutonlc
prodigies of invention displayed in the war,
These had their equals, in cases their superlors,
among the fighting instruments of the Allies.
The only monstrosities in the great contest were
human Fortunately for civilian, they were with
the vanquished forces
