! will state this much of what the
documents of the record show. In
one of the cases which ! referred to,
deferred classification was granted
through the efforts of Mr.. Smith.
after the district board had decided
mo cause" for deferred classification.
In this case. the registrant asked for
deferred classification on the ground
Of being ali expert potatoe sorter,
and in his affidavit in Support of such
claim, the registrant swore that 'he
could be replaced in this work by
his father, if he were called into the
service. The. record shows that this
man is the son of the man who is
part owner of wholesale produce
company, in which the registrant is
employed; yet, through Mr.. Smiths
efforts, this man was given deferred
classification.
This is some of the evidence in
one of the cases to which referred.
In each of the instances. the docu-
ments will sustain my charges.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This destroys
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
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
instantly, 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 store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need This SIM
pie remedy has never been known to
fail
