Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruf

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff 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 dapdruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications willAcompletely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff 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, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and new

FAILURE IN STAMPS?
VIII State and County Allow Quota
To Go Under?

The state of Kansas failed by S,OOO.-
600 to take its quota of war savings
stamps; the Shawnee county commit
tee announces that this county has
failed by $165,0OO.
1t has been the pride of this state,
and especially of Shawnee county, that
its campaigns are invariably over
subscribed, and for the honor of the
state and of Shawnee county, the war
savings stamps committee, with
Charles Elliott as chairman, asks that
this state be put lover the top by a
greaS rush of the sales of the stamps
Immediately. Stamps of the 1918
issue cannot be bought after Deem
Der 81. e,.
The Kansas quota is $4,000, 900,
and the subscription to date is $29,-
100000 The end of the war makes the
purchase of these stamps the surest
investment in the world, and it offers
place for small sums of money at an
attractive rate of interest.

RECEIVER is NAEaED
He Will Look After Interest of Re-
filming Company's Creditors.

Grant r. Mccullough has been ap-
pointed anciliary receiver for the Okla
homa-Kansas Refining company in
compliance with a petition filed here
in the federal court by creditors Of the
company. The refining concern in
corporated under the laws of Della
ware but with headquarters in Tulsa
and with a capital stock of S1.000,00O,
was declared bankrupt some time ago,
the petition indicates. Certain cred
itors, however, instituted legal pro-
ceedings and levied writs of attach
ment against the company's property
in the district court of Chautauqua
county, Kansas. where a refinery and
considerab BILE machinery belonging to
the concern are located.
The petitioners expressed the belief
and the court held that the bringing
of proceedings by some creditors might
result in the remainder being frozen
out" unless an ancillary receiver was
appointed. The address of McCul-
Tough. who was formerly appointed
receiver for the company, is not given
in the petition or the order. He was
placed under a $1,000 bond

Santa Fe Telegraphers Merely Have a
Club, Callahan Says.
c. v. Callahan. chairman of the To-
cal A. T. & S. F. Order of Railroad
Telegraphers' club, takes exception to
the story circulated that the recent
convention of telseraphers at Chicago
issued any strike ultimatum. While
Callahan declares that it was the
unanimous opinion of the union repre-
sefitatives at Chicago that Director
General McAdoo had handed them a
lemon he insists that the telegram
sent to President H. B. Perham was
primarily an effort to legalize any step
the union might find necessary to
take.
Perham was asked to call meeting
not later than December 2. Callahan
denies an organized union exists in
Topeka. He states they call it only a
club and that membership is not sutfi-
cient to hold a local charter. He does
admit, however, that Chicago's repre-
sentation of $4,000 members of the
craft were of the unanimous opinion
that McAdoos recent circular to them
was ambiguous and that unless he
comes across a strike is unavoidable.
The effort now is to hold the men
down until such steps as are taken
will be done legally and in order and

CHAOS OVER TAXES
Slowflecs OF Congress in Passing Bill
May Cause Troubles.

May cause lFOuDhcS.
washington, Nov 29.-Chao otto con-
ditions in the collection of taxes next
year now seem unavoidable, according
to a treasury statement, which has
been prepared commenting on the de-
lay of congress in enacting the pend
ing revenue bill. The statement to
be made public shortly will explain
why the internal reTenue bureau now
is proceeding with plans to collect
taxes under the old law, with its levies
far below those proposed in the new
measure. The only way to avoid re-
sorting to collections under the old
congress to rush the bill to completion
within two weeks.
Most house and senate leaders do
not believe this possible In fact
leaders of both parties are said to
share the opinion at the treasury that
the measure may not be enacted at
this session.
Consequently the situation appea rs
that all the work of congress on rev.
enue legislation during the past six
months may go for naught and that
the present revenue law will be en-
forced for another year, with pos
sibly a few additional levies. In view
of this congressional leaders have dis
cussed with treasury officials the adj
visibility of trying to rush thru bo4n
houses a joint resolution imposing
war profits taxes according to the
plan formulated in the pending bill,
and adding this to the old law to make
up the part of the deficit between the
four billions which the existing law
probably would raise and the six bill
lions which the treasury believes
should be raised by taxation in 1919.
An unjust feature of this program,
congressional leaders think, would be
that the existing provisions for excess
profits taxes have worked recognized
hardship on many businesses and the
imposition of added war profits taxes
would aggravate the situation.
The possibility of having no new
comprehensive program of revenue
legislation and consequently of raising
less than the six billions sought from
this source before the end of the fiscal
year, June 80. next, has prompted the
treasury to consider plans for issuing
a quantity of short term notes-ma-
turing in one year or less and paying
these off from the proceeds of heavier
taxes which would be necessary in
1920. This course would depend
largely, however, on the attitude OF
the next congress on revenue legiSla-
ture. The bill as framed by the
finance committee, will be reported to
the senate next week by the finance
committee. Protracted debate is as
sured. The Republicans are planning
to discuss it at length and oppose to
the end the provisions recommended
by Secretary McAdoo and adopted by
the finance committee providing for
1920 revenues.

She SUES DOCTOR
Woman Asks $27,43S Damages
From DIR. SiIverthOrne.
Accuses Him of Negligent and
UnskiIlfuI Conduct.

Alleging that his conduct in treating
her for injuries which she sustained
in q runaway had been negligent and
unskillful. Evelne Washington, col
ored, today filed an amended petition
in the office of the Shawnee county
district court asking judgment OF
$27,43S against DIR. C. r. Silverthorne.
a prominent Topeka surgeon. Mrs.
Washington charges that the manner
in which the doctor treated her injury
was responsible for the amputation OF
her right limb.
According to the petition. Mrs
Washington was driving into Topeka
from her home six miles from the city
on July 20, 1916, when her horse ran
away, throwing her out of the buggy.
She says her right foot was caught in
the spokes of the wheel and that she
was dragged for about hundred
yards; that the tibia and fibula of her
right limb were crushed into several
pieces and that the pieces of broken
bone protruded from the flesh. Left
stunned and helpless, she says. some
people nearby picked her up and
called Doctor Silverthorne, who called
an ambulance and took her to st
Francis hospital. Mrs. Washington
declares that her treatment was I'M
der his exclusive control until october
16, 1916, when she discharged him on
account of his "unskilled treatment
and engaged other physicians.
On October Is she was taken to
Stormont hospital where, she asserts
an examination revealed that several
fragments of bone would have to be
taken out of the injured limb. But
the bones still failed to unite, she says
and as a result it was necessary that
the limb be amputated, which was
done, on February ~, 1917.
Mrs. Washington charges that Doc
tor Silverthorne conducted himself
"negligently and unskillfully" in set
ting the fractured bones and attempt
ing to heal her injuries; that he used
unnecessary force" in setting the
bones in spite of the fact that he had
failed to give her an ana aesthetic and
that as a result she suffered terrible
physical and mental pain. She
charges that he failed to use the prop
er instruments and appliances; that he
failed to properly clean and disinfect
the wound and that the bones were sci
so unskillfully that union was impos-
sible.
She alleges that on October he
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1918-11-29

told her that her injuries were cured !;
that he seized her injured limb as she
was lying on the bed and attempted
to force her to-bend her knee, which
she said tore the flesh loose and
caused her extreme pain. She says
she is now helpless and unable to earn
a living.
Mrs. Washington demands, damages
as follows: Hospital fees, $3.50; serv-
ices of physicians and surgeons and
necessary medical supplies, $500 spe-
cial nurse. $4S: permanent injuries.
$4,000; physical and mental pain and
suffering, $4,000; loss of time from
July %. 1916. to date. ST. 800.
