~ombing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rii of dand-
ruff is TO dissolvciit, then you destroy it
entirely To DO tn :, get about 'ur ounces
Of ordinary liquid arvon; apply at night
when retiring; use enough to u stem the
scalp and rub it In gently with finger
tips.
DO this tonight. and by morning, most, if
not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will COM
pletely 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

Comment OF the German press which

voices extreme indignation and assails
the President the great mass OF the
German newspapers especially those
that represent the Reichstag major

entire tone 10 very pessimistic, al
though they insist that the war must
go on Many of the papers urge that
a reply be framed which win reopen
the correspondence. The Post. organ
of the conservative party, says that
President Wilson has slapped Germany
in the face. The Deutsche Tages Eel

The note will cause more than enc
establishment in Germany, but
after the events Of the last few
months II was to be expected that

what is best for our people, must not
