the night, but this morning before
the arrival Of the fire engines. 1 saw
that someone had been ,tampering

circumstances were rather .suspic-
ious." ~ ..4. Ill.,.

Sure Way To Get
Rid OF Dahdruf

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 sin
gle 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 a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. II is inexpensive. and fouc
ounces is all you will need. This sim
pie remedy has never been known to
