Combing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruf

The only sure way to get rid of dam
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 gen.
thy with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all. of your dandruff will
be gone and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dam
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 a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Adv.

FOR CLEANER WHEAT
Government Creates Special Division
to Try for Better Threshing.

Washington, May s.-To save wheat
and other small grains by cleaner
thresh;ng, a special grain threshing
division has been created under the
food administration grain corporation
of New York. Capt. Kenneth d.
luxembourg. U. S. r., an active
wheat producer of Oklahoma, has
been placed at the head OF the new
division.
In announcing the establishment of
the new agency the food administra-
ton estimates that three bushels of
grain are lost in every 100 threshed.
II is believed that the amount can be
saved by more careful methods.
Threshing committees to carry on
educational work among farmers will
be established in each county. They
will be composed of the county food
administration, county agricultural
agent and a retired thresherman, rep
resenting the local council of defense.

GERMANY MAKES
CLOTH OF PAPER
MILLS MADE GOOD PROFITS ON
NEW WORK

New York, eb.26.-Practically all
the textile mills in the Chemnitz (Sax
ony) district, the center of that indus
try in Germany, were making cloth
from paper 1917, the available supply
of cotton and wool for textile purposes
having been entirely exhausted A
few establishments were spinning and
weaving fabric of nettle fiber by the
processes invented by an Austrian
scientist during the war
Profits from the manufacture of the
substitute cloth were, according to a
review of the industry published in a
recent number of the Cologne Gazette
means small and many plants made
good dividends
Scarcely had the mills been CONVEX
ted to working upon the paper yarns
however when the manufacturers were
unpleasantly surprised by the news
of an alarming shortage in the new
raw material, viz, wood-pulp almost
the entire supply of which is required
as base for explosives and other mu-
milton purposes, and the prospects for
the textile plants for the coming year
were described in the review as very
poor.
Nettle fibre as possible substitute
for paper. yarn is available only in linn
tied quantities so that only few mills
can be employed upon that raw mater
ial.
The paper cloth in question is not
regular paper but is made of yarns
spun from fibres made of liquid cellu-
lose or wood pulp and woven like cloth
with warp and wool. 1t is expected
in Germany that paper cloth will dom
mate the market for sometime after
the war, owing to the difficulty of get
ting supplies of cotton. AS to Nettle
cloth, a concern has been formed to
to establish regular plantations of net
ties upon waste lands to supplement
the casual roadside and fence corner
supplies but it will be long before the
flax can come into general use
Tulle factories in the Chemnitz dis
tricts were well employed during 1917
but the supply of silk was running
very short.
Machine works and munition plants
usually converted textile mills, in the
Chemnitz district were extremely busy
during the entire year and paid good
dividends, in addition to laying aside
large reserves to finance the return
to normal lines of production after
the war
