No Lower Drug Prices
for Many Months Yet,
Is Dealers Opinion

Chicago, Dec. 5,-(By Associated
Press.)-A downward swing in
the drug prices as result of
peace is SO remote as to be classed
an impossibility by leading dealers
in the industry. They not only pre-
dict that present prices will continue
for from six to nine months but that
even then readjustments will be slow
and largely contingent upon the
availability Of cargo space to and
from European ports and upon pos
"sible accumulations of crude drug
stocks at the source of supply.
Big dealers declare that while
stocks in hand are high priced, they
are also narrow and CONSTRUCTED i'll
many individual cases.
Exactly what is awaiting the
drug industry is largely matter of
conjecture" said ]. w. Morrison,
a Chicago dealer. my opinion is
that we are going to see sympa-
thetic decline in prices that will have
nothing whatever i'll common with
conditions of supply and demand.
High prices have been looked
upon by the consumer as a product
of war conditions, and many will ex-
pect the end of the war Immediately
to bring normal prices. l am fully
convinced, however, that this will
not be the case"

Dandruf Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of
thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair,
do by all means get rid of dandruff.I
for it will starve your hair and ruin
it if you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try toI
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to|
dissolve it, then you destroy it en-
tirely. 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.
By morning, most if not all of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy 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 Al
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It|
is inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simn2o
remedy never fails.-Adv.
