Dandruff Soon
Soon Ruins the Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of
thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair,
do by all means get rid of dandruff,
for it will starve your hair and ruin
it if you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve 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.
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 itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair will look and
feel 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 simple remedy never
fails.-Adv.

county commissioner; Prof. VIII am
Hovgaard of Washington, shipbuild-
ing expert, and DR.. Hellrung of New

The purposes of the league have
met with such enthusiasm among
citizens of Danish descent that it
has been necessary to enlarge ia
cilities, and the entire organization
work has therefore been delegated
to Omaha, where an organization
Office has been opened in the Brown
