Dandruff Surely
Destroys the Hair

Girls-if you want plenty Of thick.
beautiful, glossy, silky hair. do by all
means get rid OF dandruff. for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you don't.
1t doesn't do much good TO try to
brush or wash it out The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy 1t 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 1t in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, Of your
dandrud will be gone. and three or four
rtJ1e applications will completely dis
sciSe and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace OF it.
You will find. too. that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop. and your
hair will look and feel hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon al any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need. no matter
how much dandrun you have. This
simple remedy never fails.-Adv.

War News
Mailed By u. p.
Men To The
United States

SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND. Sept. S
tBy maiD.-British. Canadian and Aus
tralian soldiers contested in the athletic
sports held by an army brigade here the
other day. British contingents won the
majority of the events owing. partly, to
the fact that more Britishers than any
others participated.
A challenge shield, presented by the
brigadier- general, and q challenge cup.
presented by an American colonel, were
fought for. A cabinet minister was
among the judges. and his wife was in
charge of the distribution Of prizes.
The soldiers, company after company,
American. British, Canadian and Aus
tralian. marched in fours TO the athletic
ground, singing gay marching tunes. At
the field they formed little groups Of
truly international character around the
ropes, cheering and shouting.
Before the sports program began,
there was the customary parade of COM
petltors. They marched around the run
ming track. group by group, and cheering
by the rival camps and headed by the
pipers of the Scotch guards whose reels
and strathspeys put new life into the
tiers of spectators. Twice the Reds and
Greens and Pinks made the Quarter-mile
circuit.
Then the starters pistol told that the
first heat was on. 1t was the open quar-
ter-niie, with contestants from the
American, British and Australian con-
tingents. The final was won in So As
seconds-not bad time on wet grass.
There was long program, all gone
through with the keenest enthusiasm,
and an international favor to almost
every event. As the number of each sue
cessive winner was posted UP. the spec
tators eheered themselves hoarse. Mean
" hiIe there was pipe music galore, while
overhead a half-dozen British and
American airr.en provided entertain
,s1ent by looping the loop, nose-diving
and performing various other evolutions
and aeronautics which a few Years ago
would have been deemed impossible.
The British contingents. being num-
erically superior to the other nationali-
ties engaged, won a majority Of the
events, but the results mattered little
for in these things the mere result is
nothing in comparison with the spirit in
which the events are contested and the
car Iial entente which results.
1t all looks bad for the boche," re-
marked the American colonel to the
British brigadier as the men, allies all
marched off the field.

First Irish Coaching Company.

In 1915, an Italian, named Bianconi,
started the first coaching company In
Ireland, running long cars over vari-
Gus regular routes. Long cars soon
became the safest and most reliable
means Of travelling over Ireland, and
Bianconi turned rich and prosperous.
Writing in or about 1912, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hall, who have written much of Ire
land, tell us that persons of the high
est responsibility" used the long cars
for travelling. At this time, although
these cars passed through 128 towns,
they had not made their way into the
north of Ireland. The cars varied con-
siderably in size, requiring from one to
four horses. The fare, even over the
rockiest roads in the West, was two
pence farthing mile. The Halls care
fully explain that passengers were pro-
vided with 'dry and comfortable horse
hair cushions and aprons" and that, in
wet weather, the long cars never jour
neyed more than two stages without
changing the cushions.

All Help to Produce Food.

Speaking of food-how much Of
what you eat do you help to produce
by your own work? Farms need la
Dor. The difficulty is not an insuffi-
cheney of actual man power. There
are plenty of men to supply the farms
with help. But that man power is
applied to other things, and the farms
will not be adequately supplied with
help unless men turn temporarily
from their present business or en-
ployment and work on farms in their
county during the rush periods of
cultivation and harvest.
If we were not at war you might
feel free to disregard this as your
personal duty. But we are at war;
This is a war need, and you are not
free to disregard it.
It Is the duty of every strong man

BORN OF DESIRE FOR SPEED
Methods of transportation Other
Than His Feet.

Doubtless the first form of construc-
tive transportation was by the boat in
the form of q float and our earliest and
simplest conception is man astride
a log, propelling it by hand and foot.
The idea of propulsion stimulated to
activity the inventive genius of mans
mind, and we find him developing vari-
Gus modes Of land conveyances. The
camel was drafted into service with
the elephant, the horse and other ami
mails. Then came the sledge, the first
of natures own construction, simply
a forked tree limb.
This gradually developed into more
perfect mode of conveyance, being
mounted on rollers or logs, and here
began the development of the axle and
the wheel. The most primitive form
of wheel was the simple roller made
from tree trunk, afterward differen-
tiated into pair of fixed wheels by
trimming down the middle portion of
the cylinder in such a manner as to
leave the center of the trunk as q
rotating axle.
The next step was the substitution
of two shorter sections of tree trunks
attached to a rotating axle; flat, round
cylinders of stone doubtless were used
as well, and later a considerable adj
vancement was marked by the substi-
tuition of the fixed axle on which the
cylinders rotated.
The cart wheel similar to that which
may today be seen in the remote dis.
tricts of Mexico, is doubtless the next
noteworthy advance, and from these
primitive steps we find Aristotle and
other Greek philosophers interesting
themselves in these important advance
ments and earnestly agitating the
minds of the mechanics of that period,
in the effort to stimulate even greater
improvements.

Varieties of Pearls.

Among the varieties Of so-called
pearls there are at times small dark
gray or blackish pearls, which are
more or less flattened and lack the
Jet black luster and perfect shape of
the so-called black pearls. These are
true pearls, probably secured from pin
ma shell, and possess some small value.
They may be easily distinguished from
the false pearls by their color and
shape. Very small round pearls of a
golden luster are secured from small
avicula that has a beautiful golden
luster on the inside. The avlcula shell
is usually less than six centimeters In
diameter, and have never seen pearl
produced by this shell that was larger
than No. 6 shot. The big, perfectly
round yellow pearls offered for salo
ara usually frauds.

Strong Negatives.

There is one great advantage abom
! keeping both glass and film negatives
in envelopes made of transparent pa
per-that the negative can be looked
at and identified without taking II
out of its envelope. More negatives
are damaged by being turned over to
find some particular one than by the
lapse Of time, and the transparent en-
velope protects them from injury from
this source. A system of filing and
lcataloging, by which any negative 20
quired can be found with minimum
af disturbance of the others, also tends
ID prevent damage.

Tourist Make Complaint.

Many tourists from both east and
west are passing through Payette
every day and the, question is fire.
quently asked, "Where is your camp
ing ground ?" and we are compelled
to say we have none. Payette has
put forth every effort to secure the
state highway 20 induce the traveller
to come this way, believing it to be
a great asset to our town and COM
munity in the way of business and
advertising which it will do If the
proper accommodation is furnished, but
when the tourist from the far east
who has been accompanied with good
comfortable camping grounds all the
way until reaching Payette and finds
no place suitable for camping over
night it has bad effect on the new
conner and he passes on to where he
can secure the proper accommodation.
1t is true we have the best of hotel
accommodations, but the majority of
the travellers by auto go prepared to
camp out and do not care to stop at
hotels. 1t is very essential for any
town to have accommodations for
transients and in this day and age
is as essential to have a good camping
place for auto travellers as hotel for
commercial travellers
